SSS-Class Ranker Return

Chapter 68

bombardment (1)

Lokan repeated the wizard’s dungeon during the three days following the end of the initial discovery bonus.

It was an instant dungeon anyway, so after hunting from start to finish, he repeatedly manipulated the escape stone that appeared in the boss room to get out again.

In the process, he was unable to cut down logs every time, and suffered a lot of pain, but thanks to that, he was able to obtain various expensive magical items, so it was an advantage.

Even if it was a financial loss, it would have been there for the experience.

‘Now, business is going well here too.’

The items thus obtained were selected and filled in on the second floor of his shop.

The vending machine on the first floor still had the largest number of people, but the second floor, which sells various magical items and enhancement items, was also crowded with people.

On the other hand, there were less people than expected on the 3rd floor, where the crafted items that boast the best performance are located.

It was decorated like an exhibition hall for anyone to see, and the number of things to see is increasing with production items added every day.

‘Still, the sales are high.’

Of course, that doesn’t mean everyone just watches or gives up. In fact, the sales of the 3rd floor were huge.

However, because he didn’t want competitors to find out about his purchase, one person came as the representative and secretly bought it and returned.

It wasn’t to the level of being sold out because of the sky-high price, but when I counted it, more than a third had already been sold.

‘It seems like I’m raking in all the money on the Crossroads.’

Of course, there were hundreds of cities like Crossroads.

Besides, the map has not been revealed yet, so we just don’t know, and if we go to the southwest shore of the Crossroad, we can go to another tertiary city.

Conversely, if you go up north, the 3rd city of the Black Dragonflight will appear.

They monopolize money and items, but that means they are still constituencies.

Recalling that, Rokhan, who had read through himself, steadily took the next step.

“Delete Combination Skills.”

[Please specify the combination skill you want to delete.]

“Rush of Destruction.”

What Lokan found was the Berserker Guild.

Surprisingly, the action he took was the deletion of the combination skill. He would have deleted Rush of Destruction, which he was having quite a bit of fun with.

Charge of Destruction, which raises both defense and attack power at the same time, was still an excellent combination skill, but it was thought that it was a little lacking to occupy one combination skill slot.

If you use Charge, Force, Guard, and Shoulder Charge at the same time, it may not reach the original power, but you can see a similar effect, and it was a choice considering the limitation of the skill that can only extend in a straight line.

[Please specify an action clip or skill book for the desired skill combination.]

So, what to put in the empty slot?

With the poor Berserker’s skills, there were no more suitable combinations, but the change in the damage obtained from the wizard’s dungeon was a variable.

It was also a skill that could show surprises during battle, but when combined well, it not only fills the shortcomings of the Berserker, but also creates the conditions for sucking honey.

Rokhan used it to complete the recipe he realized only later in his previous life.

“Force, dash, strike, throwing, damage change.”

[Combination is possible.][Please see the expected usage of the combination skill and click the Combination Complete button.][When the combination is completed, the skill book disappears and the combination skill is automatically acquired.]

A skill combination that throws weapons with all your might based on force. However, when the damage change was added, the effect changed significantly.

“Combination complete!”

[Please specify the name of the combination skill.]

“bombing!”

A literal bombardment that explodes by converting all of Lokan’s power and energy into magic damage!

It was the moment when the strongest Berserker of the melee series acquired a ranged attack skill comparable to that of a wizard.

“okay. The cooldown is good enough.”

The downside is that it has a cooldown of about 5 seconds, but when used in combination with a normal throw, it seemed enough to drain the opponent’s soul. In the beginning, the bombing skill itself was more powerful than continuous shooting, although the concept was one shot one shot.

In order to become a more complete combination skill, it would be good to combine a skill that reduces the cooldown, but unfortunately there was no such thing in the Berserker skill.

It is something to consider if you get it in the form of a skill book later.

‘There was probably no monster that definitively dropped the cool-time related skill book’

Because of that, Lokan was a little sad, but he was satisfied enough.

Now all that’s left is to suck the honey with it!

“If there is a ranged attack, there it is.”

He also knew a hunting ground where he could use this skill properly.

“There will be no inventory left.”

Lokan happily left the Berserkers Guild and headed straight for the weapon shop. He was intended to purchase a hatchet, a throwing weapon, in bulk.

Since the shape of the hatchet itself is not used often, there was a limit to the quantity, but now it is not a problem at all. Because the only person who buys it is Lokan.

When it comes to throwing weapons, they mostly use bows or guns that can be used without swordsmanship or archery skills.

“Hmm, good, but not expensive”

“Ah, the expensive visitor store is more expensive.”

“But there are plenty of options out there!”

“That’s right. Still, unless the guild pushes it, it’s unreasonable to buy it right away. In our circumstances, it is unreasonable to live with wisdom like Gilma. You should use the store system in moderation and change it to a drop item or save money and go there.”

So while Lokan was filling up his inventory, he heard the voices of users next to him.

Some of them have finished reputation work and have completed recognition quests one by one.

You have to clear all three recognition quests to use all the functions and be recognized as a citizen, but even if you complete one of them, you will be able to use some shops.

‘Are you here already?’

Judging by the use of the weapon shop, it seems that the Dwarf’s recognition quest was broken by the guild.

‘If you don’t aim for additional rewards, it’s time to do so.’

If so, there is a high probability that the top ranked quest or succeeded in the second or third recognized quest. After all, it’s the kind that can somehow be solved by repeating the gnome’s recognition quest.

And it will be the same in other tertiary cities.

‘I have to hurry.’

Once you have completed the Recognition Quest, it is a level-up war again. If you don’t stick to the main scenario quests or episode quests like Lokan, the main content is to receive the quest and level up through ‘Daksa’.

There was, however, one obstacle.

“The key is how much we can hold each other’s ankles.”

That’s the faction structure.

At the earliest, while carrying out the half-elf’s recognition quest, I ran into the Black Dragonflight.

The fact that the faction confrontation is so interesting is that even though they can pass each other without harming each other, once there is only a red mark on the name, they will run into each other and watch.

Then, there are cases where the level up becomes too engrossing in the fun of the battle.

Of course, there are titles that can be obtained through faction confrontation, but it was difficult to expect a meaningful effect unless you kill an opponent with a stark level difference.

“Then shall I go too?”

With even his supplies packed, Rokhan stopped by the integrated auction house to match his third set of gear, summoned his horse from outside the city, and started sprinting west.

* * *

[You have entered Cheol-eung’s outpost.]

The place where Rokhan rode his horse to arrive was none other than a disputed area.

The Tekalona Forest located to the north of the Crossroad and the area above it can also be seen as a conflict zone, but the quest route is only partially overlapping. it was

Even if you go out a little further, you can easily meet NPCs and users of the opposing camp, and the number of monsters is relatively small.

Of course, the level was high, but it was an area where users could not see right now.

“Originally, I only come here when I get close to level 150, but… … .”

Standing proudly there, Lokan walked to the center of the village and found an NPC.

It’s called ‘activities’.

It was an NPC who presented war quests related to conflict areas and settled the rewards.

“I want to register as a free mercenary.”

“Free mercenary Hmm, I don’t know if you can do it with your skills. Well, it is.”

Since Lokan’s level was still 120, the NPC’s reaction was aloof, but it doesn’t matter. The free mercenary, which is a prerequisite for getting a name in the rank system, is something that anyone can register even though it is difficult to raise the rank.

[You have acquired the status of a free mercenary.][You may be given a rank depending on your major.][Let’s make a major] [Quest]

You have been listed as a free mercenary of the Golden Lion camp. Defeat the enemies of the hostile camp and establish a major to prove your strength and honor.

-Obtain a major when defeating the opposing faction

-Acquisition of merit points according to major

-Acquisition of rank according to major

As soon as he got what he wanted, Lokan bowed his head to him and left the village.

Because it was an outpost that could be destroyed at any time, the village was small and poor, so it was difficult to expect a proper supply other than repairing equipment anyway.

So, after taking just one mark, I quickly moved to the place I had wished for.

“Dash, charge.”

Although it is said to be near a conflict zone, an outpost, the map was really wide.There was not only one outpost there, and it could be said that it was a battlefield on a vast scale, with supply route defense quests connecting each outpost, and raid quests that cut off the opponent’s supply route.

Of course, compared to the full scale of The Road that will unfold in the future, it was only a hemostasis of the foot.

‘canyon.’

Among them, what Lokan was aiming for was the supply route of the enemy located on the outskirts.

Where the enemy’s supply route runs down a high cliff.

For that reason, it was always a place where guards for defense passed, and sometimes wagons passed.

‘Stealth.’

Lokan, who moved while avoiding the battle as much as possible, took stealth only when he got around it.

Enemies in conflict zones are at least level 140-150 powerful beings, and they rarely wander around alone, so even Lokan is a burden for now.

Combination skills are different, and their combat power was higher than most monsters of the same level.

Because of this, he disappeared and secretly circled and climbed the top of the cliff.

Taang taang taang.

Rokhan’s action upon reaching the top of the cliff was somewhat surprising.

He wondered how many large stakes he had driven into the edge of the cliff, and he hung a strong rope, tied it to himself, and started going down the cliff upside down.

If the rope is loosened or broken, it is certain that you will die from falling damage, and even if you survive somehow, you will be killed by the soldiers of the opposing camp roaming below.

“This would be good.”

And when he reached a certain point, he again tied the rope to his body and drew out his weapon.

But it wasn’t his beloved Battle Axe.

A large and thick hammer that seems to crush even a sturdy building.

Since his goal was not to kill the enemy, he brought one of the pieces of equipment he had put up for sale in his shop.

Quang! Quang! Quang! hooded.

After hitting it several times, a hole began to form on one side of the cliff.

“strike!”

I didn’t even have to kill the sound, as I’d never thought anyone would be here.

When he repeatedly hammered by mobilizing his skills, the hole became a pit, and the pit became a cave.

It’s not spacious, but there’s enough space for one person to squeeze and run.

“Mark.”

Lokan, who stopped hammering at that moment, went in between them and activated the rune drum.

save place.

This laid the groundwork for endless hunting going back and forth between towns.

“Then shall we begin?”

fuck.

With an evil smile, Rokhan’s magic alloy hatchet aimed at those prowling down the cliff.

“bombing!”

A one-sided bombing began.
