SSS-Class Ranker Return

Chapter 92

Undersea Tunnel (2)

It seemed like a reckless challenge, but it was not without thought. Lokan used the gills of murlocs that made it possible to breathe underwater, and various consumables that temporarily increased defense.

And he took off all his armor. This is because the weight of the armor can make the action sluggish.

For that reason, he decided that if he did not succeed in the attack, it would be better to face him with his bare body.

So he put on only a pair of panties and stood in front of the exit.

Boo woo woo woo.

When the trumpet was blown long at the door that could be entered and exited by magic treatment, a merman appeared from afar.

Rokan jumps as if diving in accordance with it!

It was funny to see him wearing a pair of panties and flirting with a battle ax, but the momentum was real.

‘Come and see.’

However, it was too much for him to take the first attack.

It was Lokan’s specialty to rush in at any time, but his breathing was solved, and his movement speed in the water was slow, so he waited for him to attack first.

nettle juice.

The good news is that the summoned Merman unconditionally enters a battle state. Then the quest will proceed.

As if watching the movement of the thief class, Lokan focused on the Merman who was approaching quickly through the current.

Whoops!

But he took no action.

No, it wasn’t exactly.

I learned the speed of the gnome, and the attacks that hit me were just taken with my body.

Without armor, his vitality was slashed, but he had enough vitality to handle it, so he shone sharply, aiming for only one chance.

Whoops!

‘now!’

boo boo.

The moment his spear pierced his abdomen, he drew down the battle ax that had been lifted above his head with all his might.

He focused on the instantaneous swing speed to solve the slowed attack speed due to the resistance of the water.

‘Damn it.’

However, the timing was slightly faster. Murman was startled and twisted his body, cutting only the raging water.

Thanks to this, Merman’s spear could not be pierced deep into his abdomen, but the failure of the attack was more painful than that.

Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

The guy who felt threatened by Lokan’s attack changed his attack style.

Instead of digging deep into Lokan for a powerful blow like the first time, he tried to stab using the spear’s strength, the lich.

‘Oh, it’s about to go up.’

His teeth trembled at the sharpness of the guy who speared his spear while he was asleep, as if he was playing a game of barley, but he had no idea what to do.

In this case, you only have one chance. Or he would suffer from that toothpick-like damage and die.

“Heh heh heh heh heh heh heh!”

A cry of madness that made the mountains and streams tremble resounded in the water. It’s only natural that Merman’s body is stiff.

Lokan stretched out clumsily, but quickly snatched his spear and pulled the bastard’s body against him.

‘I’m done.’

He launched a fatal blow and tried to suffocate his breath with one blow.

“Wave Storm!”

‘Mr. … .’

Puaaang!

But then, his combination skill exploded.

Rokhan’s body was hit by the shock wave of the water while holding his battle ax and was thrown to the ground, and the trident he stole in the meantime returned to him again.“The bondage of water. Reception window!”

“Suck.”

The next combination skill combo!

The guy who tied the hands and feet of Rokhan by moving the water unleashed a spear filled with the energy of a fatal blow with all his might.

“Berserk!”

In this case, there was no choice. More overwhelming strength was needed to break the bondage of water.

It is Berserk that makes it possible!

At the moment when Rokhan’s eyes were dyed with red madness and the full energy tore the energy of the water that had been bound by it, the spear of the receptionist pierced deep into his body.

“Uh-huh!”

After all, what was aimed at was the heart!

A receiving spear was pierced in the heart, the only weakness of Berserk with the power of immortality.

A large hole was drilled, and purple blood soaked the surroundings. The strength in Lokan’s body loosened, and the energy that was fluttering in red was weakened.

“… … I got it, you bastard.”

Whoops!

What drew Merman, who could not shake off the afterglow of the combination skill, was the ugliness of Lokan’s arm.

With his left chest pierced and still exerting his strength, he grabbed him by the collar and cut his head off.

Using a fatal blow that I couldn’t trigger before!

Now that it’s a skill that puts more than 20 times damage in a single blow, Merman’s fragile skull wasn’t a problem.

In a single blow, the head exploded and even the body was split.

“Whoa, that’s not a good feeling.”

Did the attack miss or not? Even now, blood and heart fragments were oozing out of Rokhan’s chest, which had a hole in it.

However, the reason why Berserk did not release or die instantly was simple. Because there is one more heart.

As the magic heart created by the two heart skills took over the role of the original heart, all the stats that were raised by the passive effect were cut, but life was spared.

“Cancel!”

Rokhan, who hurriedly entered the undersea tunnel again, canceled the Berserk as soon as the hemostasis was achieved, and poured a potion, raising his vitality to a safe level.

“I’m going to break some money.”

What to do with a broken heart

Lokan already knew how.

If you go to the Central Continent and donate to the temple and receive treatment, you will be able to recover whether your arm is cut or your intestines burst.

Until then, he wouldn’t be able to use the stat increase effect or blood flow acceleration of the two heart skills, but this was enough for him.

“You have proven your power to protect the tunnel. Okay, now you can use the undersea tunnel.”

[You have acquired the qualification to use the undersea tunnel.][In the future, whenever you want, you can use the undersea tunnel for a fee.]

“Then how… … .”

“Hmm, we can take the train, but there is one problem.”

“… … ”

Even though the final exam was over, Aide’s last words were somewhat unsettling.

“Recently, the undersea tunnel has not been properly maintained, so the road seems to have been blocked. I wish you could dig it… … .”

“… … all right.”

In the end, one more quest was added.

[Cleaning the Undersea Tunnel][Quest]

It is said that the entrance of the undersea tunnel is blocked because it has not been cleaned for a while. Instead, clean up and clear your way.

-Completion condition: Clear the undersea tunnel

-Completion Reward: Board the Undersea Tunnel Express Train

“… … It’s kind of unsettling.”

Even cleaning the undersea tunnel was fine. Whether it’s real cleaning or hunting monsters.

However, I was more concerned about the reward.

“… … no”

As soon as the aftereffects of Berserk were over, Lokan began to move to the place the people had told him to.

“her… … look at these”

As expected, it was a group of monsters blocking the undersea tunnel.

From giant fish to giant starfish to merman, quite a variety of guys were pouring into the tunnel.

“This is honey”

Looking at those guys, Lokan’s eyes lit up.

The giant fish are almost dying because there is no water already, so it’s enough to just stop breathing. Starfish and Merman are still alive, but their fighting power is greatly reduced.

No, apart from that, the moment they landed on land, and the moment Lokan was able to show off his skills, their fate had been decided.

“It’s revenge, these guys!”

With the resentment of being humiliated by Merman a while ago, Lokan launched a bombardment.

* * *

Knock Knock Knock Knock Knock Knock Beep, hey, profit.

“Ahhhhhhhhhh!”

Lokan’s scream resounded throughout the undersea tunnel of unknown depth.

Just in case, the ‘train’, a means of moving the undersea tunnel, was made by the gnome race.

What Lokan got as a reward for completing the quest is a chance to board the express train!

He suddenly raised his head and expressed an opinion that he wanted to ride a regular train, but he could not reverse the decision that had already been made.

Whether he takes the express train or travels on foot.

What am I going to do if I leave like this?

Some sections of the undersea tunnel could not be moved on foot or on horseback, so there was no choice.

Regardless of his will, he had no choice but to board the express train.

“If you don’t know, don’t use the Berserk and leave it alone. Just because you don’t know, maybe.”

In addition, the last word that Aide gave amplified the anxiety.

It’s not scary to die in the game, but the feeling of throwing a poor seatbelt on and riding a runaway train was so bad that it’d be better to die a few times.

“Ahh! Aaaaaaaaah!”

The express train for the Central Continental Undersea Tunnel arrived at its destination after running without stopping for a whopping 5 hours.

* * *

Beetle.

“Uh-huh… … .”

Rokhan, who had no more energy to scream, got out of the empty train with a face with his soul gone.

Fortunately, there were no crashes or explosions, but from the middle, I even thought that it would be better to do so, so the psychological shock and panic was really great.

[Unbelievable achievement! You have passed through the undersea tunnel for the first time.][You have acquired the title ‘The One Who Divided the Sea’.][You are the first to acquire this title.][The One Who Divided the Sea] [Unique]

You have crossed the sea and reached the Central Continent.

You are the first to win this title.

[Hold Effect]

-Movement speed in water is increased by 50%.

-Attack and defense against underwater monsters are increased by 30%.However, the moment he stepped out of the undersea tunnel and took a step towards the central continent, information that made Lokan’s mind flashed was listed.

He could be used as the first person to divide the sea, but the real thing was different.

[Unbelievable achievement! You were the first to discover the Central Continent.][You have acquired the title ‘Pianer’.][This title can only be acquired by one person.][First] [Forerunner] [Unique]

-Experience and drop rate bonus increased when first found in all dungeons

-All stats +30

-Increase the reputation of allied and neutral NPCs in the central continent by one level.

Pioneer title given only to one first person!

None of them were options that could be thrown away.

The amplification of the effect of the first title, which will continue to be preempted in the future, was also great, and the increase in the bonus of the secret dungeon was an opportunity to suck honey properly, and above all, the effect of forcibly raising the ‘reputation’ by one level was enormous.

‘Crazy, this is real.’

In the first place, isn’t it a Lokan that can start with a friendly reputation for all allied faction and neutral faction NPCs?

If this was applied in duplicate, it meant that it could start at a very friendly level.

The NPCs in the Central Continent are not as harsh and callous as they were when they first arrived in the 3rd city, but this in itself could be a great weapon.

But the rewards did not end there.

There have been changes to the titles and quests that were previously obtained.

[First][Nothing is impossible!][Legend]

You are the incarnation of a miracle that defeated even the monsters that no one thought would be able to hunt. There are those who are envious of those who challenged the impossible and made it possible, but no one hates them.

With his stomach still churning and his head spinning, Lokan looked at his final income with a smile on his face, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
