SSS-Class Ranker Return

Chapter 242

“Destroy!”

Lokan moved quickly at the sight of the ancient emperor slashing his sword while shouting as if in a declaration.

No matter how low you go, you are a high master. In addition, he who has stepped on the level of a Grand Master that even Rokhan in his previous life could not reach.

That experience could never be ignored.

“You’re counting horribly.”

As evidence of that, two of the five gnome brothers have already been separated.

Although he was a high master, he was not able to survive with only a mechanical doll because he was excellent at only one power due to his fallen power.

Luckily, Lokan’s clone and Kai quickly avoided and blocked him to check him in, but that also didn’t give a proper blow.

“Glow!”

So it didn’t make much sense to keep them.

It was only to the extent that it could take a little time, so I boldly gave up on them.

Instead of pushing them all and sacrificing them as a sacrifice to the fallen ancient emperor, they created a momentary gap.

“Kyaaaah!”

The battle ax wielded by Rokhan was lodged all over his body. A thick wound was dug red as if it had been scraped off clay, but it was not cut.

Originally, the limbs would have been separated into six or more pieces, but the man’s greatly strengthened defense pushed out Lokan’s Battle Axe.

“ね!”

Even counterattacked.

It destroyed all the remaining gnome dolls and clones, wounded even Kai who used the Elemental Barrier, received even Lokan’s light, and took a counterattack.

‘Not enough.’

Thanks to him, Lokan realized. Even his own overwhelming attack power was a little lacking.

He needed a means to draw more power.

“bombing!”

Realizing that there was no help, Lokan immediately fired a bombardment.

Not against the fallen ancient emperor. It was towards the tree trunk on which they were standing.

Kwawagwagwang! It’s crazy!

When a powerful explosion hit their feet, the building, which was nothing more than a large tree, collapsed with ease.

Even if the half-elves raised a certain amount of mana, it was not enough to withstand Lokan’s attack.

“Ani!”

“What is that ”

“Why are humans here? … !”

Thanks to that, there was a commotion around.

Since the building of the Senate, which is nowhere else, was destroyed and the two seemingly human fell apart, how could they not have hostility?

Although Rokan’s reputation is corrected by the title effect, this was not the case in a special situation like now.

Although it is only a level of vigilance in that they are battling against a corrupted ancient emperor who can be seen by anyone, the half-elves all pulled out their weapons and prepared to fight.

That was exactly what Rokhan had hoped for.

[With the effect of the title Kill All, attack power and defense increase in proportion to the presence of the surrounding combat state. Current applied effect: 20%][Kilogues for the human race are confirmed. All stats increase by 10%.][The effect of the title Killer removes the fear immunity effect of nearby beings.]

Title All-in-one!

The number of half-elves who entered the ‘battle state’ was limited, so they couldn’t draw out all their power, but it seemed enough to make up for the lack of combat power right away.

It is a pity that it is not a hostile race or a defensive battle, but this alone is a huge power-up.

‘That’s the charm of the percentage effect.’

And one more thing. Rokhan still had a chance to power up.

“The blessing of the world tree.”

[You have received the blessing of the World Tree.][All stats increase by 30%.][All cooldowns are reduced by 30%.][All status ailments are removed.][However, the effect may not be applied to those who use unholy powers, or it may work in the opposite way.]

One of the special skills of the Scepter of Death was activated.

Sealed Chain of Storms Battle Ax was a two-handed weapon, but Lokan’s immense power allowed him to wield it as skillfully as a one-handed weapon.

Because of this, he took out the scepter of death with the other hand, as if holding a dual-wielding weapon.

Of course that’s all. After using the skill, put it back in.

No, that’s what I was trying to do.

‘wait ‘

At that moment, there was a hypothesis that ran through Lokan’s mind.

What is the source of the power of corruption? Although negative energies such as fear and screams work collectively, the most important energy was ‘death’.

And in the scepter of death, the ability to absorb that death was built-in.

“Death Drain.”

The scepter of death turned to the fallen ancient emperor.

As if feeling an instinctive sense of crisis, he turned and tried to avoid it, but to no avail.

Death Drain is not a non-targeting skill, but a targeting skill that works definitively.

Whoa! Pacchut!

The pitch-black light of death emanating from the hall of death matched the corrupting power it possessed.

I couldn’t say who was overpowered, but one thing was certain. Death Drain was eating some corruption.

[The effect of Death Drain absorbs the power of death.][Black magic builds up in the user’s body.][Black magic is purified by the blessing effect of the World Tree.][Black magic is replaced with mana.]

It’s fun. Death Drain eats away the power of corruption and restores Lokan’s mana.

Of course, it was in a state of infinite mana due to the effect of the manifestation of the storm right now, but if it could be used in normal times, it seemed to be a fairly good mana recovery tool.

“die!”

However, the fallen ancient emperor was not just fighting the Death Drain. It is only a battle of energy versus energy, and his actions are due to his freedom.

A long sword, full of the power of corruption, was swung wildly to split Lokan.

Wow!

However, things have changed. When the buff called Blessing of the World Tree was added to the massacre, Lokan’s attack power, which had a sense of being pushed back a little, overwhelms him.

The winner of the match is also Rokhan.

The sword of the fallen ancient emperor ate the recoil and bounced back, opening his chest wide.

“If you like ruin so much, eat this! Doom Strike!”

👌👌👌👌👌

A chain was wrapped around Rokhan’s left fist. A formidable blow that ignores defense pierced his chest.

[The special effect of the chain that sealed the ruin is activated.][Additional damage is applied to beings with powerful corruption.]

“… … !”

Pugh!

At that moment, a notification that I had never seen before appeared in front of my eyes.

‘Additional Special Effect Damage’

Rokhan’s eyes widened as he stared blankly at the body of the ancient emperor, whose chest had burst open and punctured.

The chains that sealed doom must have had this effect.

Then why hasn’t it come out when dealing with corrupted monsters? Is it a matter of the total amount of power?

Because it is not a being with strong corrupting powers

‘ruin.’

Lokan, who was perplexed for a moment, soon found stability. A word I had seen in the Prophets came to mind.

Doom is one of the keywords that appear repeatedly in relation to the fallen power. And the chain that sealed ruin.

I don’t know what the ruin was, but it seemed clear that it was the power and supremacy of corruption that I obtained by chance.

“Chains of annihilation!”

Bubbly bubbly!

After thinking about it, Lokan used the chain skill to finish him off. If he is his current attack power, he can cut him down even with a battle ax, but there was no need to overdo it in the yard with a solid means of striking.

The fallen ancient emperor, who was close to a doll, survived a heart attack, but in the end was unable to withstand the violence of Rokhan.

It was handled so simply that it became futile to be resurrected.

[You have leveled up.][You have leveled up.]

Still, whether it was the existence of the final weapon level that had risen to the Grand Master, or the level alone was only the highest level of the High Master, but the amount of experience received was enormous. Lokan who is close to High Master raises level 2 at once.

344 level.

With this, there are only 5 levels left until level 349, where you can receive the high master promotion quest.

‘It’s almost at the end of the experience bar, so it’s safe to look at level 4 or so.’Of course, raising the 4th level is a very far-fetched thing.

“Lokan… … Sir ”

After canceling the manifestation of the storm and recovering his physical condition, the half elves who recognized him approached him.

After this, what is there to hide?

Rokhan revealed the millennium and compass of corruption and formally requested cooperation from the half-elves as human dukes and investigators.

Although only two were caught here, there are still some of the half-elves who are corrupt priests or corrupt collaborators.

“Catch them now!”

“Never let him run away!”

The fact that as many as two of the elders had taken part in corrupting the World Tree, the half-elves were greatly shocked, but soon recovered. Anger greater than shock engulfed them.

To ruin the long-awaited resurrection of the World Tree with only the power of corruption. It is something that no one other than the elders can ever overlook.

They are peace-loving half-elves, but for this moment, they have a stronger heart than the devil.

On behalf of Lokan, the traitors were quickly searched and captured.

Maybe they don’t know, but it must have been difficult for them to die easily.

“The problem is the world tree… … .”

Meanwhile, Lokan was thinking about the world tree. As the transmitter was destroyed, the means to control the world tree disappeared.

I thought that maybe someone else might have something similar, but since I put it like this, they would disappear even more.

Moreover, as we have already seen once, if they thought that the destruction of the world was unlikely to happen due to the communication machine, they could give up their will to control the world tree.

Other means were needed.

“perhaps… … ”

In that sense, the battle with the fallen ancient emperor was a great inspiration for Lokan.

“Then it might be worth a try.”

The operation flashed in Lokan’s mind. This may be enough, but I decided it was good enough to rub.

After all, if the world tree is in turmoil like this, humans will get tired too.

Moreover, since the communication unit was also smashed, you never know when it will turn and attack the Golden Lion camp.

“How long has it been since the world tree appeared? It seems like the time has come… … .”

But being single is difficult.

No matter how Rokkan, it is difficult to deal with the Grand Master, the World Tree, alone unless you have a Master or High Master to assist you.

I don’t know if he intends to cut it with one blow like last time, but no matter how much he thought about it, the only way he could do it now was that it took quite a bit of time.

So, I was waiting for someone.

“Yeah, fufu, you’re here too.”

Those who appeared exactly one month after the World Tree appeared in their previous lives.

They were just elves.

Elves and high elves.

After the disappearance of the World Tree, their population declined sharply, but they were all a minority elite race with a minimum master and a high master.

Lokan, who was collecting information while searching the website, noticed a certain movement.

they showed up
