SSS-Class Ranker Return

Chapter 182

Put a bell on your cat’s neck (1)

“let’s begin.”

After all the materials were handed over to Irinel, the production work began.

First, the power of purification that had been cultivated to a certain extent was transferred to an unbreakable crystal, that is, a crystal skull. Then again, using the Orb of Corruption, the power of purification was further increased.

It was a work method concerned that if the power of purification increased beyond a certain level, the ‘vessel’ could not hold up and would break.

However, the power of purification, which has already grown considerably, ate up all the power of corruption in just a few minutes thanks to the energy of life filled inside the crystal skull. it went up

After that, Irinel used the spell of Condensation.

Unable to obtain her finished product, she allowed her to learn her spell and complete her craft.

When the Orb of Corruption was used again for the condensed power of purification, the power of purification grew even greater, and as the same operation was repeated over and over again, the power of purification was so strong that it could no longer be condensed.

And now, the Orb of Corruption can be digested in less than a second.

“Whoa!”

Then it was simple. A five-leaf clover was put inside the crystal skull, and the magic circle of discharge was engraved on the outer surface so that it could radiate the power of purification.

Finally, the Orb of Purification was completed when three seedlings of the World Tree were used to wrap the Orb of Amplification.

[You have acquired the Orb of Purification.]

It was Lokan who handed over the material, so the item came to him, but it was necessary to think about who would use it. If you put a lot of effort into making it and don’t use it properly, it’s a mess.

‘Damn, am I the only one’

Since the magic circle of discharge was engraved, it was easy to think that it was right to use the magic series, but Lokan had a different idea.

Will the ancient emperors equal to each other be able to stand still and welcome them?

Maybe he didn’t get to use all the power contained in the Orb of Purity.

‘Do you believe in orcs and dwarves? … .’

If so, it should be left to the melee class, but Orcs and Dwarf High Masters seemed to have a quick temper and were prone to mismanagement.

‘The goblins, the witchcraft type, are also dumb. Half-elves, trolls, and gnomes are the main ones… … . I can’t say it’s suitable.’

The good guys are half-elves, trolls, and gnome high masters, but they don’t think it’s right for them to do it, at their own risk, as they have an advantage in ranged combat over melee.

Because they must fight even after dispersing the power of the ancient emperor.

Then, only the reborn Rokhan himself remains.

In addition to that, he also has a Berserk with immortality effect, and a Manifesto of Frenzy, so he could somehow use the Orb of Purification at close range if he somehow pushed it into his body.

Even if it failed, it was possible to resurrect and try again as long as the Orb of Purification was not taken or dropped.

‘But once I use it, my role is over.’

However, even if the Purification Orb was successfully activated, there was a high probability that it would end there. It would be the perfect location to be torn apart by the ancient emperor who ran out of control again.

The immortality effect might somehow spare his life, but he looked far from rejoining the battle.

It was very disappointing that he only played the role of a key man and threw away such an opportunity as he enjoyed fighting with the strong more than anyone else.‘I can’t help it.’

After thinking that far, Rokhan nodded his head, consolidating his thoughts.

He was unavoidable, and he was determined to do his part as best as he could.

“It’s like putting a bell around a cat’s neck.”

The representatives of the eight races all gathered again through the Magical Frontier. They too were aware of this situation.

That is why neither the Dwarves nor the Orcs dared to say anything about what I was going to do.

knowing how dangerous it is. Because I know that it is something that could lead to dog death.

“… … No matter how much I find a way, I can’t give you the same reward this time. Because in the first place, you humans did this.”

It was not difficult to think that only Lokan could do this properly, so eyes were drawn to him, but the undead High Master struck the player first and nailed it.

He points out the mistakes of the human race, saying that he won’t give anything he’s done with this.

It was probably because he suffered the most, but it wasn’t really wrong, so the High Masters of other races were also showing a similar reaction.

‘Children, it’s pitiful.’

Hopefully I could have ripped off a bigger one. I felt sad, but there was nothing I could do.

“Fine. As you said, this is something we humans started. Instead, there is one condition.”

“condition ”

“Yes. It is essential for successful operation.”

“What is it?”

“that… … I want them to activate their master skills after I hit the first hit.”

“… … ”

They couldn’t understand it, but it was a condition they could listen to. Because they are NPCs.

‘Heh heh, I got caught.’

But Lokan is different. first blow. In technical terms, the rate of item acquisition varies depending on who hits ‘Sunbread’.

He was able to get quite a lot of loot just by making a good start and maintaining the battle status.

No, it was even possible to obtain the most essential item. Item drop and acquisition are random.

“It is.”

“I get it.”

“It is not difficult. If only the power of corruption could be scattered.”

However, the High Masters, unaware of the visitor’s physiology, readily agreed.

“Okay then, let’s make it clear.”

Finally, after hearing the undead High Master’s reluctant reply, Lokan brutally pulled out the contract.

The condition was that if they broke the promise, they would give away one of their items, just like the last time.

However, it was a promise that had already been made and it was something that had to be kept.

“Let’s go.”

When the contract shone and confirmed that the contract was successfully completed, Rokhan happily vacated his seat and got up.

He was already ready for battle, so all he had to do was move.

If only Rokhan succeeded, he could now immediately eliminate the ancient emperor.

“I ate it in a grand way.”

The representatives of the eight races who had prepared to fly anywhere on the continent received a brief briefing.

It was about the steps taken by the ancient emperor while they were preparing, the number of strongholds destroyed, and the number of existences that were destroyed.

According to the orders given to each race, even if the ancient emperors showed signs of appearing, they all hid or fled, but the damage was immense.

If you add up the damage suffered by the last Corruption Wave and the Scarlet Crusade, a whopping 20% ​​of the bases on the continent seemed to have been shattered.

Rokhan’s heart fluttered slightly as all of that had happened to him, but he quickly erased his expression.

No matter what happened before, now and in the future, isn’t it important?

As much as he suffered damage, the quest for recovery was also activated, and he thought that there were not a few people who benefited.

“How are you going to approach him?”

After a while, when the current location of the ancient emperor was accurately identified, the representatives of the eight races moved to the nearest stronghold. It was possible to move together because the teleport magic circle was temporarily linked.

“I have to practice.”

“Ambush”

“You wouldn’t be able to avoid his eyes with any insignificant hiding.”

“okay. He knows he’s preparing something here, so I don’t think he’ll give you easy access.”

And they questioned how Rokhan would approach the ancient emperor and trigger the Orb of Purity.

I know that Lokan has a ring that can use stealth, but it’s low-level stealth, even if you hit it high, it’s intermediate stealth.

However, the ancient emperor had the ability to see through even if he used more than advanced stealth. He knew Rokhan’s ignorant attack power and fighting style, so he had no reason to allow close combat.

An ancient emperor who can generate a powerful aura with only his will, even if he doesn’t have a ranged weapon, there must be a way to neutralize Rokhan’s approach or containment.

But Lokan grinned. He pointed his finger somewhere.

“So, you should aim for that.”

“sky ”

“I wonder if he will ride the bird, but it will be difficult for him to get out of sight too.”

That was correct.

Even if Kai flew as high as possible, it was far from being out of sight of the ancient emperor. I don’t know if Kai grows up further, because it’s impossible to fly above the clouds in the current state.

“well ”

But Lokan laughed. He summoned Kai with his confident expression.

“Then I’ll go first!”

“Hmm… … .”The Seven High Masters looked questionable, but soon stopped thinking.

Either way, Rokhan only had to do his job properly, and they only had to focus on fighting after him.

They also started moving.

“Not far.”

While we chatted for a while, the ancient emperor became quite close.

Lokan used his penetrating eyes to check the location and condition of the ancient emperor as a dot, and then adjusted the distance and altitude.

Even if he succeeds in using the Orb of Purification, if the Seven High Masters do not intervene at the right time, the first attack will not be recognized.

While controlling the speed by calculating the distance between the ancient emperor and the seven masters, at some point, he raised his altitude toward the sun.

〻! Kyut!

I could feel Kai’s hardship through sympathy, but he endured it. When she reached the limit of what she could climb, she finally showed her strength.

“The one who rides the legend!”

The power of transcendence to temporarily evolve the mount was demonstrated.

[Daebung (大鵬), Kai]

Kai’s body grew so large that it could not be compared with before. Just as the Sacral Horse transformed into a Red Toma, Kai also evolved and transcended its limits.

When it spreads its wings, it becomes an imaginary spirit creature that covers the world like a cloud, and soars above the sky incomparable to anything before.

‘It’s what I imaged, but… … It’s no joke.’

Kai didn’t just grow bigger.

The stats and vitality checked through the status window were enormous beyond imagination.

It was comparable to the life predator Kalak, and probably because of the experience of eating elemental worms as prey, the physical defense as well as the elemental defense were incredible.

Although his attack power was unknown, his vitality and defense ability were unparalleled.

‘It might be easier than you think.’

As she grew in size, it became difficult to control and dodge enemy attacks, but with this vitality and defense, it was enough to fill her with her body, so there was no worry.

Even if the Grand Master, the ancient emperor, attacked him, it seemed difficult to deal with Kai at once.

hey!

At that moment, a disgruntled cry erupted from Kai’s mouth.

Wasn’t it Kai who didn’t like her size and realized how to manipulate her body?

She tried to change her body again this time to see if she didn’t like her as big as Taesan.

Tsutsutsutsutsu!

‘… … It’s a scam.’

Kai’s body, which was no exaggeration to say it was a flying castle, changed to a slightly larger size than the Wyvern. All her abilities remain intact.

Kyut!

At that moment, Kai smiled broadly as if he liked her. She began her vertical fall towards the ancient emperor.
