SSS-Class Ranker Return

Chapter 31

bad luck (2)

“It’s a waste of money, but I can’t help it.”

Before leaving the village again, Lokan went into the general store and bought one item. It was an item called ‘Safety Guard’ that could set a safe zone in a non-combat state.

It is a marble the size of a pebble, and when thrown on the floor in a non-combat state, a safe zone with a radius of 2 meters is set, but it boasts a high price of 30 silver per piece.

However, it was not a problem at all for the current Lokan. Before Blood Chaser had a fight with him, they bought all their equipment back from the auction house, so they had quite a bit of spare money.

“It’s for emergencies.”

Moreover, it was only after he used the Berserk that he needed a safety guard. If it weren’t for Berserk’s aftermath, he was confident that he would crush them even if he brought them in a truck.

“The speed of the quest will be a little slower, but it won’t be a problem.”

Lokan filled his inventory with consumables and immediately activated the rune book.

* * *

The place where Lokan arrived was the field where the battle took place.

As soon as he arrived, he was slightly nervous whether there would be a surprise attack, but luckily or fortunately, there were no men attacking him.

Apparently, the problem was that they wiped them out at once. If he had known it would be like this, he would have deliberately pretended to be tough.

“Baby, are you scared already?”

For some reason, Lokan, who had cursed those who had no regrets, took a step forward.

“Let’s see how long it stays frozen.”

Still, the message on the bulletin board is becoming an issue, so I’m sure there will be a response soon.

The atmosphere changed as we went deeper into the forest, savoring our taste buds.

From now on, it was an area where only powerful monsters of at least level 70 appeared. The level was the same as the Forest Lizardmen, but there would be a big difference in combat power, so Lokan was a little nervous.

‘It’s still quiet in this neighborhood.’

Although the map was wide, it was difficult to easily check the popularity of those who do it a little bit because there are many cases in the 50s to 60s level. There was intermittently distant sounds of battle, but it seems unlikely that the movement lines overlap or the hunting grounds overlap. They must also be hunting for a good spot for their own neck.

“Let’s see… … . There it is.”

But Lokan was different. It would be good to have a place for him to level up too, but now he has a guy to find.

A forest monster, a giant tree monster.

It was easy for him to find what was also called a walking dead tree. Small buds will sprout in the place where it has passed.

If it goes out of a certain range, the effect disappears and withers, but there are sprouts that stretch out their heads in the recent past, so it was easy to find them just by following them.

“It feels like something is destroying the ecosystem, but… … .”

Rokhan, who found the traces of it as he walked dangerously only looking at the floor, immediately ran in the direction it seemed to have moved.

And he flew towards the wanderer without a clear route.“Leaf Attack!”

Quang!

The orc battle ax collided with the body of the forest monster, and hard bark and sap erupted in all directions like fountains of blood. It is a shell reputed to have high defense, but in front of Lokan’s power, it was like soft tofu.

“Let’s finish it quickly!”

Next shoulder charge!

When it was hit with a shoulder that was tightly protected by the shoulder blades, a second explosion occurred without the body that exploded and did not regenerate.

“strike!”

One more time for my friend!

Lokan’s attack, which seems to be driven blindly, but causes damage at once, was the standard of attacking forest monsters.

If you leave it as it is, it will regenerate endlessly and stretch out its twigs and bother you.

For that reason, he needed to concentrate his blows in a short time to break through the defense and rip out the ‘essence’.

“Twitch!”

Whoops! Koo!

The attack was immediately effective. When the blue essence, located in the deepest part of its body, was removed, the body of the giant forest monster leaned and began to dry quickly.

Also, the fruits hanging from its branches withered, but Rokhan didn’t care.

He can collect berries while keeping them alive, just like when dealing with forest lizardmen, but these berries drop even after killing them.

Rather than waste time on the difficult forest monster, he decided to eat only drop items.

“Damn, I hate forest monsters like this.”

However, the fruit of the forest monster did not drop from the beginning. It is a quest item, but the drop rate is not high.

“Well, if you squeeze it, it will come out someday.”

The good news is that it’s made of wood, so maybe the taste is pretty good.

With the Battle Ax over his shoulder again, Lokan began to move in search of the next trace.

Until it comes out!

He knew better than anyone that the basics of the game were nogada, so instead of blaming his luck, he started running hard to catch one more.

“What was next”

It took more time than expected due to the small number of forest monsters and the constant wandering, but Lokan was able to collect all the quest items without difficulty.

However, he did not return to the village immediately. Rather than going back and forth, he wants to go back and clear all the quest items required in the next step.

And in the end, Lokan succeeded in thinking of a place needed for the next quest.

“right! Qingming Lake.”

Cheongmyeong Lake was a very clear and clean lake located in the center of the wild forest. If you drink it, you will get a buff that increases your mental strength for a certain period of time, so it was also a place where wizards would pack up empty bottles and fill them up later.

The next target is the monsters, herbs, and fish in the lake that roam the area of ​​Cheongmyeong Lake.

Recalling that order, Lokan set his direction on the magic map and started moving.

* * *

“You bastards! I mean, I can’t get one.”

As I was walking for a while, I heard a voice filled with anger. A voice that is closer to a one-sided rebuke than a conversation.

Since it was quite close, Rokhan also peered into it out of curiosity.

‘Oh, that bastard… … .’

The owner of the voice was none other than the Master of the MP Guild. It was a typical bravado-style customization with long golden hair hanging down to the shoulders, but somehow it looked familiar.

‘Where did you see it’

I had seen the MP Guild Master several times in my previous life, but it didn’t seem like it was because of that.

“That post, how are you going to do it?”

“If you don’t respond, it won’t go away on its own… … .”

“I haven’t seen it on the topic already. How many people have seen it, but they’re still talking like that?

He thought he was quiet for some reason, but he seemed to be reacting to the stage.

But the Master of the MP Guild was right. The PK group, once the momentum is down, is no longer an object of fear.

‘But he’s a thoughtful guy.’

If it is revealed that they avoid Lokan, or if they feel even such a nuance, ordinary users will forget their fear.

Then, it could be the opposite. That’s why Lokan dared to hit the keyboard.

So jump on Whether it’s voluntarily or unintentionally, stick with it again, and call your pocket again.

That intention was hidden in Lokan’s post.

“Firia-sama, no Master, please calm down. I somehow solve it… … .”

“How are you going to solve it? Go and die again, fuck you to donate the items! I’m pretty sure it’s not that nuke.”

“Yeah, we got a one-on-one response. I can only tell you that it’s normal play… … .”

“You bastards! That’s how normal play is. Did they get paid for it, or were they hukos who couldn’t even catch a nuke? Fuck, how much money did I dump here… … .”

It looks like they’ve just put in a one-on-one inquiry. And I would have gotten a reply saying there was nothing wrong with it.

To the best of Lokan’s knowledge, there has never been a single nuclear program on The Road.

‘The name Pyria sounds like a beggar. Are you a pervert baby?”

It wasn’t even worth listening to, but Rokhan watched more. Knowing their response will make it easier to deal with.“Or do it! I’ll throw in a little bit of rice and sway the public opinion a bit. I don’t know that eradicating nukes is the realization of justice.

‘Ugh’

The words that came out of Pyria’s mouth, who had been temperamental for a while, were somewhat surprising even for Lokan. Otherwise, I didn’t think that there would be someone who could write this number already, but that made it even more interesting. Because, you know, station tours are the most fun.

‘Pyria… … Yes, it was him back then.’

I can tell by looking at those dirty eyes. He remembered why he had a girlish ID called Pyria and a slender face in his memory.

The guy who said he was dating Lim Soo-hee, her ex-girlfriend.

He flew a bit from The Road, and it seemed like he was really winning. It won’t matter much later on, but the MP guilds at the beginning of the game were pretty farts around.

Although I was rather caught up in the image of being image-managed and acting as if I was doing volunteer work or charity work, and I ended up sitting down halfway.

‘Wait, then he was the one who dropped the cloak of hiding’

I thought that maybe it was Lim Soo-hee who gave her the cape of hiding.

I had heard the story of Pyria the other day, and it would have been difficult for me to be the guild master’s girlfriend if I was carrying an item that was that much.

‘Huh! I didn’t know it was going to be so helpful.’

Rokhan couldn’t do anything like that, thinking that her sorry feelings would have made her position more difficult.

Already, she was just an old person who couldn’t even remember what Soohee Lim looked like, whether she had a mole on her right cheek or not. It would be nice if she had been treated so harshly in her previous life that she would not have left a single piece of her heart and no sediment.

‘Looking back, that was the beginning.’

Now she remembered. Come to think of it, it was Im Soo-hee that started The Road in her previous life.

When she was timid, she told me that she was addicted to The Road, so she started playing the game to try and hang out at least once in a game.

However, Lim Soo-hee not only categorically refused her, but also killed and harassed Lokan several times by letting her acquaintances her brothers.

It was then that her Lokan fell in love with her.

‘There was such a thing. Wait, maybe those bastards were MP Guilds back then

For a moment, Rokhan’s expression turned vicious. It was really painful in many ways back then. Even if Im Soo-hee doesn’t remember, she can remember the pain of that day.

“And send some bastards down to the blood chaser. Later, Murderer said that he would fully support him with counting and leveling up, and instead told him not to think about coming up until he had caught that bastard!”

Pyria even decided to transfer some of the elite members of the MP guild to the Blood Chaser in order to catch Lokan. She felt that once her face was sold, she would not be able to return to the MP Guild again, but she felt threatened that if she missed her timing now, her plan would be ruined.

‘It must be fun.’

Perhaps their level is around 70. It was clear that he was currently at the top of The Road.

Unlike the members of the Blood Chaser, who were only at the beginning of level 50 or 60, the proficiency in the secondary job would be quite high, and they would be confident in their control, but Lokan wasn’t worried at all.

He decided that no matter what equipment and title they had, he couldn’t be his opponent.

It was not conceit, it was reality.

‘I’m already curious what kind of expression they’ll make if I beat them up’

A faint smile appeared on Rokhan’s face as he watched them.
