Ranker's Return

-Why are there no weapons?

-Is he bare-handed today?

-He will draw it later. What are you worried about? If he doesn’t draw something, he’ll punch them.

The viewers expressed some concern as they watched Hyeonu fall in a defenseless manner. It might be Hyeonu, but even he couldn’t jump among the god tribe with bare hands. Such an act would create unnecessary variables.

-If that is the case, why enhance it to +12?

-I million gold was dumped ㅋㅋㅋㅋ.

-There is still some time left. The battle hasn’t started.

-That’s right... Still, this is a bit...

It didn’t matter what weapon Hyeonu used when fighting against players. It was a one-on-one battle, and the players’ health limits were obvious. However, it was different against monsters. The gods god and divine creatures flocked in endless numbers, and their physical strength was terrifying.

At this moment, a long spear emerged from Hyeonu’s hand. It happened in an instant. The viewers couldn’t believe it even when they saw it with their own eyes.

-He pulled a weapon out of his inventory so quickly?

-His hands are faster than my eyes can see.

-If it is this much, he must’ve stolen from other people’s sleeves?

-Is it just their sleeves? He would’ve stolen their wallets as well. There is no swindler.

The viewers’ admiration continued. It was an action that wasn’t a big deal, but the story changed when combined with something else. Being able to deceive people’s eyes and move quickly was in line with the idea of attacking as swiftly as possible.

‘Sure enough, it looks like that.’

Hyeonu glanced at the chat window as he fell quickly. He had jumped so often that he was used to it and could afford to do this.

‘That Tang-E... He should do well.’

Hyeonu had the god tribe in front of him, but all his attention was focused on Tang-E. He was worried since Tang-E was fighting in human form, not the familiar bear form.

‘I should’ve given him more items...’

Hyeonu belatedly expressed his regret, but it was already too late. Out of what he had, Hyeonu chose only the best and passed them on through Yuri. He wanted to give more, but he couldn’t.

‘They’re is what I used... I just don’t know if they’ll work well.’

There were three main items that Hyeonu had sent to Yuri. A weapon and armor made up two of them. The weapon was a sword as Tang-E requested, and its name was Dark Star. The armor had the name ‘Tyrant Caruso Leather Set’. The last item was the mask Hyeonu wore on his face. Of course, unlike Hyeonu’s mask, it was an ornament that had little effect. Even so, it was an item that did the faithful duty of covering his face.

‘I said I believed him. If it doesn’t go well...’

However, his worries about Tang-E ended here. Both of Hyeonu’s feet touched the ground, and his surroundings were filled with sharp metal sounds.

‘It has been a long time since I’ve fought in a place like this, and it is still utter confusion.’

The battle against the god tribe was markedly different from that of the undead.

‘It is a bit different from pretending to know nothing while mutually agreeing on a course of action.’

There was no sense of familiarity. The battlefield was full of blood. Even at this moment, a fatal wound was left on someone’s body.

‘Then what if I show up here?’

Hyeonu jumped out and swung the spear widely. Thick purple pure energy emerged along the trajectory created by the spear blade. It was Crescent Moon Cut. The purple pure energy penetrated through the battlefield with an eerie sound. It was different from the usual form of his pure energy, but the power and accuracy were the same. No, on the contrary, the power seemed much higher.

[You possess the magic power of the guardian.]

[Attack power is increased by an additional 50%.]

[You have the magic power of the sentry.]

[Attack power is increased by an additional 50%.]

[You have Road to Complete Perfection.]

[Attack power is increased by an additional 100%.]

One more thing was added compared to when he clashed with the chief of the ran tribe, Ragand. At that time, he was already strong enough to stop Ragand’s strike.

Of course, the skills he used then and now were different, and the amount of magic power he poured into them was different. The important thing was that the opponents weren’t Ragand but ordinary members of the god tribe and divine creatures.

Just then, the head of a divine creature flew away. Blood gushed like a fountain from the place that was cut.

‘I used only the minimum amount of magic power, but it is already like this...’

Hyeonu smiled with satisfaction. He felt it was rewarding that he enhanced it. It was a pity that he couldn’t get the help of various effects related to magic power from the Mixed Sky Sword. Even so, he didn’t feel that much regret due to the overwhelming increase in attack power.

[Killed a god tribe using the Guardian’s Spear 1/6,666.]

‘It seems the divine creatures are considered as members of the god tribe?’

There was more encouraging news.

It had become much easier to purify the Guardian’s Spear. It was confirmed that it wasn’t just the god tribe; the divine creatures were also included in the quest.

-What is this?

-Is this one shot real?

- Even if it is +12, +12, does this make sense?

-Think about the spear’s effects. The attack power was around 20,000, and there is the effect of increasing attack power and defense penetration.

-That’s right. Just use Crescent Moon Cut and get rid of it in one shot.

The viewers couldn’t pass over it lightly like Hyeonu. The scene in front of him was that shocking. It had been quite some time since the war with the god tribe and divine creatures started. As a result, the viewers watched more videos over time and clearly knew how strong the god tribe and divine creatures were.

Thus, they felt it even more. It was based on what they knew. A giant divine creature died in one blow…? That was impossible. Of course, this didn’t mean other rankers didn’t show this. It was just that they used the right skills at the right timing when showing these results, unlike Hyeonu who merely used the Crescent Moon Cut.

‘Where is Jeras?’ Hyeonu’s eyes lit up as he examined the battlefield. Even so, his hands and feet didn’t rest for even a moment. His feet diligently slammed against the ground, and his hands extended the spear.

[Killed a member of the god tribe using the Guardian’s Spear 2/6,666.]

[Killed a member of the god tribe using the Guardian’s Spear 18/6,666.]

[Killed a member of the god tribe using the Guardian’s Spear 35/6,666.]

[Killed a member of the god tribe using the Guardian’s Spear 98/6,666.]

Hyeonu broke through the battlefield. He killed everything that was in the way. Normal members of the god tribe and divine creatures couldn’t handle Hyeonu’s blow. Due to the effect of Memories of Murder, his magic power continued to recover. Hyeonu believed in it and poured out his magic power like crazy.

-What?

-Are my eyes wrong?

-Excuse me, Alley Leader. Have you ever sold any items?

-The Alley Leader from a few months ago has reappeared.

-What is going on?

-Who did you get involved with?

The viewers turned their gaze to the other side of the battlefield. It was unavoidable. It was literally an irresistible force. A person who stole their gaze had appeared.

‘Tang-E seems to have arrived.’

Hyeonu saw the chat window and realized what had happened. Tang-E had entered the viewers’ sight.

‘It is obvious.’

Tang-E’s polymorphed appearance was very similar to Hyeonu’s, except for the color of his hair. It was obvious because the image that Tang-E came up with when he used Polymorph had been Hyeonu. So it was only natural that viewers would think of Hyeonu when they saw Tang-E with his face covered.

Just then, a god tribe member clung to Tang-E, who was chasing after Hyeonu. Tang-E lightly wielded his sword toward the god tribe member.

-Is this real? How to follow this?

-Is it something that can be followed?

-By the way, who is he? It is said that all of this is useless in actual combat?

-That person... He seems like the one who appeared as an instructor of Alley Leader Academy before? Didn’t he teach Jamie Moore?

The viewers were once again amazed by Tang-E’s appearance. The strike that Tang-E showed was a magic power operation method that only Hyeonu was known to be capable of. The incomprehensible technique of creating pure energy in an instant was created.

‘It is because there is a setting that specializes in dealing with magic power...? He follows me well.’

Hyeonu smiled happily when he saw it. Tang-E’s development always seemed good. The reason why Tang-E was getting stronger was that Hyeonu was getting stronger.

‘By the way, where is this guy?’

Hyeonu’s joy was short-lived though. His eyes scanned the battlefield busily. He was like an eagle aiming for his prey.

‘Is he not coming out because he is afraid?’

He thought this might be the case. Jeras had been harassed by Lebron every time he came out onto the battlefield. Meanwhile, Luke was always busy fighting Raccoon, so he didn’t have even the slightest bit of attention left to spare in caring for Jeras.

‘No, it is said he will appear unconditionally.’

Hyeonu also had information that he obtained in advance. According to that information, Jeras was in a place where players shouldn’t go.

‘It is the place where the battle between Raccoon and Luke will take place.’

Jeras would unconditionally appear near the place where the battle would take place, even though it was said that just being near there would cause their health to decrease.

‘It is over there...’

The place where Luke and Raccoon were fighting was known by anyone with eyes and ears. It was impossible not to know of it. This was because a thunderous noise like that of an exploding bomb occurred dozens of times per second in a certain area.

Hyeonu poured more magic power into the Mixed Sky Steps. It wasn’t important right now for Hyeonu to kill a few more members of the god tribe and divine creatures. In any case, the success of the quest depended on killing Jeras or Luke. The rest was just a problem that time would solve.

-What is he trying to do?

-Why is he just running instead of fighting?

-Who gave him a running mission?

-There was a kid who was just running last time. Is it because there was a mission?

The viewers questioned Hyeonu’s behavior of running while dealing the minimum of attacks. However, these questions were limited to a small number of viewers. Many people’s eyes were still focused on Tang-E. Now, few people shared the same perspective as Hyeonu. Most of them were watching from a third-person viewpoint and examining Tang-E and Hyeonu at the same time.

-Wow, no matter how much I look, I don’t know who it is?

-The equipment is the same. He really looks like Alley Leader.

-By the way, isn’t he really good at fighting?

-The attack power is a bit lacking. The divine creatures can’t be killed in one blow.

-It would be really crazy if the attack power is the same. There can’t be two monsters.

Tang-E’s battle was thrilling enough, even if it wasn’t comparable to Hyeonu’s. His ridiculous stats perfectly complemented the item specs that were lacking. It was to the extent that he wouldn’t be pushed by anyone except Hyeonu.

Tang-E, who was fiercely chasing after Hyeonu, lowered the sword in his hand at one point. It wasn’t a situation to use the sword. The battle he saw in the distance made him lose the motivation to fight. Nevertheless, he got rid of the opponents he had to fight against.

Suddenly, Hyeonu and Tang-E were the only two in the area. There were no members of the god tribe, divine creatures, or players.

“They are fighting fiercely...” Hyeonu stood in front of Tang-E and clicked his tongue.

‘It can’t be compared to that fight at all?’

The battle he was watching wasn’t even comparable to the fight between Callioraks and Ragand, who had taken over Edward’s body at one point. It felt regrettable to compare the two battles.

‘There is a huge difference in power...’

Hyeonu quickly regained his smile. He was aware that he was streaming right now. Then he started making nonsensical comments: “Everyone, isn’t a dogfight the best? It is very interesting to see similar people fighting each other.”
