SSS-Class Ranker Return

Chapter 82

Richie’s Hideout (2)

‘Where are you’

Upon arriving at the flower garden, Lokan immediately found someone.

not rich Richie was hiding in his stronghold hidden here, so what he found was the key.

“Why are you so noisy?”

What appeared soon afterward was none other than a human being. A human slave with a sullen appearance.

He is known as a human being caught by Richie to cultivate a flower garden, but the reality is different.

“Lethal blow.”

Whoops!

Knowing this, Rokhan did not hesitate and smashed his head.

It’s easy to be hesitant because he’s of the same race, but in reality it’s not so.

Push shhh!

It wasn’t brain water that flowed out of the man’s head, split like a watermelon. Black smoke made of dense dark mana.

It was not a human slave, but a fake human created by Richie.

He is grandiose to be called a homunculus, and is a doll made to imitate human bones and flesh.

woo woo woo.

A change occurred as he collapsed and laid himself on the flower bed.

I wondered what kind of energy would be sucked out of the flowers, and a gate the size of an adult male opened.

“Damn, where did you splash?”

“He flirted with momentum and then ran away!”

As he began to hear the voices of undead users around him, Lokan flew into the gate without hesitation.

The gate begins to squat with him.

After a while, it completely disappeared and disappeared, so that no one could confirm Rokhan’s infiltration.

“Bright.”

Richie’s hideout arrived through space.

Surprisingly, the first impression faced by the stylish road was that it was bright.

It was not difficult to secure visibility even without night vision because the light was lit by hanging a luminous body.

“Nobody knew it was a trick.”

In a way, you might think that he is kind, but because of this, many people have suffered in their previous lives. It took countless sacrifices to read the deception hidden in this kindness.

tock tock.

Lokan approached the wall quietly and tapped lightly on the wall.

[The target is currently protected by magical powers. It cannot be destroyed.]

However, the power contained in it was not just a knock, but a notification window appeared at once.

Since it is an indestructible object, touching it is useless.

“It’s the same.”

Confirming that it was not different from his memories so far, Lokan walked forward.

There is no such thing as concerns about traps. Unlike the cowardly wizard, Richie was very confident.

Of course, there were some preparations, but that wasn’t a trap.

“About fifty… … .”The hallway was very long. Whether it was to create tension, to exhaust one’s mind, or to another reason, walking along the bright lights was enough for 200 to 300 meters.

Along the way, Rokhan calmly counted something, and looked away only before Richie’s lab.

[Death Researcher Sylonian][Lv 171]

A typical lychee wearing a rag rag and holding a black wooden staff.

Anyone, not necessarily Lokan, could know his identity.

“… … If a human comes in here, it seems like you want to become a living sacrifice!”

“bombing!”

At the one who spread a gloomy energy with a wild roar, Lokan promptly threw the hatchet.

It was only a hatchet in its form, and when the power of the combination skill was added to the attack power that would be comparable to a normal weapon, it split the space at a frightening speed.

“Bone Shield!”

Go fast!

But the opponent wasn’t too hard. As a being who craved strength by turning back even death, he immediately raised a shield made of bones to relieve his power.

Wow!

Nevertheless, Rokhan’s bombardment continued to break through the bones, but this time it was blocked by something else and lost its power.

right shield.

If so, does the Lich even have a knight or warrior-type job?

no. If you look closely, you can see that the one he was carrying was not an ordinary shield.

‘A combination of engineering and magic. After all, this guy was the original source.’

It was thanks to this guy that the brutal effect of mechanical engineering was first known.

Maybe it’s because he was a goblin by birth, or because he’s a wizard, he uses a lot of mechanical engineering devices to make users crazy, and his fighting style is so unique that even at level 190, not level 170, he suffers.

“dash.”

Knowing this, Lokan chose a different method.

While he was preoccupied with stopping the bombing, he quickly ran towards somewhere in the scanned room.

“this guy!”

shit. jingle.

What Lokan was aiming for was none other than ‘lighting’. Not only the ceiling, but also the luminous body embedded in the walls.

It looks like a light bulb at first glance, but it is actually a magic sphere, a vessel containing mana.

“Wake up, my children. Stop him!”

Then why is Richie so excited about breaking just one magic ball?

The reason was simple.

Among those magic orbs, the Life Vessel, the heart of the Lich, is hidden.

He was a lich that revived no matter how much he hit, but on the other hand, if the life vessel was broken, he could die shabbyly without doing anything.

Therefore, when users encountered a lich, they divided into groups, some to block the lich, and some to search for the life vessel.

“It’s crazy.”

The only downside is that it is random where the gnome’s life vessel is hidden.

However, for that reason, he grasped all the locations of the magic spheres on the way.

“Stop it! Whatever you do!”

As Rokhan acted as if he already knew, the Lich Sylonian’s reaction intensified.

He didn’t even think to take advantage of the mechanical engineering he boasted about, and he raised the dead by pouring mana into full power.

“Born month! Darkness Spear! Bone Prison!”

“huh!”

And the subsequent dark magic attack.

However, Lokan was already equipped with a magic defense set from the moment he entered this place.

By activating the force, only the real ones were cut down, and some checks were put in with the body.

He managed to escape the siege, crushing the pieces of bone that rose up to bind his feet.

“Eight!”

The number of charging times of the electric shock rod was 3 times.

The gnome threw lightning bolts in a row with his temper so that his bones popped, and this time he threw two square boxes.

[Empty Rechargeable Battery][Material]

If it was lightning magic, it would have been simply destroyed. But at best it is an electric shock rod that causes shock. Instead of destroying the empty rechargeable battery, it absorbed all his attacks.

[Full Rechargeable Battery][Material]

There is no need to retrieve the rechargeable battery again. After all, it was an empty rechargeable battery, which was just enough to make even with low mechanical engineering skills.

The cost of materials was also cheap, so even if they threw away 100, it was not a burden to Lokan.

A strategy that is possible because you know the battle patterns of Syllonian.

“Sheesh, the hallway?”

After destroying all the magic spheres in the room, Lokan pulled out his body and ran towards the hallway he had come in.

“bombing! throwing! strike!”

And he hurled an attack towards the location he remembered. Throwing a hatchet, he flew directly to the reef attack and destroyed it.

The durability of the magic spheres was not very high, so just that much cracked and mana leaked and lost its light.

“No… … ! at there!”

Syllonian followed him desperately, but to no avail.

Even if the ground becomes muddy, it can be skipped with a single jump, and if an obstacle is created, it will be destroyed with an axe or shoulder charge, so the distance has increased to a point where it is impossible to catch up.

oh shit.

“This is it.”

After going back a long way, I was able to finally find a magic orb that did not break in one shot.

Since the name is Lich’s Life Vessel, it is being protected by a stronger force than a normal magic ball.

“Lethal blow.”

But even he was powerless in the face of overwhelming power. When he slammed it so hard that the tendon of his forearm came out, even the Sylonian’s Life Vessel could not stand and split.

Whoa ah ah ah ah ah!

The ear gong resounds with him.

The moment the Life Vessel receives fatal damage, the soul of the man who was forcibly held in this world is twisted and disappears.

All that is left is the wreckage of the Life Vessel that has been destroyed and spills the mana of death.At this rate, the surrounding area would turn into a land of death, but Rokhan grinned and threw it aside.

This situation is very familiar.

“I’ll have some fun in a little while.”

Essence of Death.

It was a very similar situation to the time of infinite hunting instead of taking the essence of death in Trinshik.

If there was a difference, the Lich’s Life Vessel had a limited mana and could not be used for that long, and the level of undead monsters that appeared instead was a little higher.

[You have acquired the research material ‘Consideration on Bone’.]

Losing his magic orbs, Rokhan went up the darkened road, lit up the surroundings again with a torch and took everything he could.

There were various skill books as well as research data on bones, a quest item, but unlike the cowardly wizard, it was not possible to choose just one.

In the beginning, the skill book itself created in Richie’s lab is random, but all can be acquired.

[You have acquired the skill book ‘Rise Skeleton’.][You have acquired the skill book ‘Curse of Weakness’.][You have acquired the skill book ‘Curse Doll’.]

“It’s just garbage.”

The problem was that even if Rokhan had mastered them, they were useless skills.

Skill books obtained through monster drop can be learned regardless of occupation, but what will the Berserker Lokan do after learning necromaning and curses?

The mana consumption would be greater than that of the Necromancer, so it was a hundred times more beneficial to cut one more time with that mana.

So, all of these are inevitably going to the store.

At the time when he was gasping and pouring it into his inventory, Lokan, who raised his hand to the last skill book without expectation, paused.

[You have acquired the skill book ‘Third Hand’.]

“The third hand”

‘I remember. A skill that creates a hand made of mana by concentrating the mind.’

With enough mana and her concentration, it was an odd skill that could create not just one hand, but several.

“This is fun”

At first glance, it looks like it could have several more hands, so it would be possible to eliminate blind spots and increase combat power, but unfortunately, the strength stats did not affect the hands created with mana. It’s really just for hand use.

No matter how skilled you are, it was revealed through research in your previous life that it would be much more beneficial to fight directly with that concentration and mana, but Lokan was pleased with this skill nonetheless.

“If this… … . Maybe it is possible.”

Perhaps it is because it can fill in one part of the anxious part of his plan he made while returning.

Because of that, he learned the skill immediately and waited for the time to ripen.

“Are you here?”

Knock Knock Knock Knock Knock Knock Down.

And after a while, from the other side of the deep dark passage, Skeleton Knights walked in a line.

They were born polluted with the mana of death, and every time they walked, the land they stepped on died together.

What is truly terrifying is the fact that in the land of the dead, even if they die, they will be reborn.

Until the mana of death in the earth is exhausted!

[Skeleton Knight Born from Death][Lv 170]

However, if you think about it on the other hand, it also meant that no matter how much you killed, it was a great prey that was reborn and dedicated experience.

“Death… … give it… … .”

“Now, let’s do some leveling up.”

Beings who considered each other as prey collided.
