Ranker's Return-Chapter 909

Chapter 909

He really wondered if he could do this. However, the water had already spilled. He kicked against the ground and his body shot out. There was no turning back now.

‘I have to do it even if there is a chance of failure.’

Hyeonu injected magic power into the spear held in his hand.

[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%.]𝑓𝑟eℯ𝒘𝗲𝑏n𝑜𝚟𝙚𝒍.𝒄o𝐦

Magic power flowed into the Guardian’s Spear and a hidden effect appeared. At the same time, the spears started to be covered in purple pure energy.

‘This crazy person?’

Raccoon, who was pushing Luke, frowned when he felt Hyeonu moving. It was a sudden act that wasn’t agreed upon. It was taboo to intervene in another person’s battle. Raccoon stopped pushing Luke and stepped back. Based on the distance he retreated, he showed his will to leave the battle completely.

‘This person is like a ghost.’

Raccoon was really amazed. It didn’t make sense no matter how much he thought about it.

‘How can he be so accurate...?’

It was just now. The time when Hyeonu could handle Luke.

‘A wound is a wound and… the magic power has fallen to the bottom.’

This was what Raccoon felt when he fought. The power behind Luke’s secret arts was poor compared to the beginning. Of course, this was by Raccoon’s own standards. For Hyeonu, even the current Luke would be difficult.

‘However, if he shows all his hidden abilities...’

There was no reason Luke couldn’t be killed. It was possible to kill him. Of course, these were just Raccoon’s thoughts.

‘What is it all of a sudden? Is it a trap?’

‘What? Why is he gone?’

Hyeonu and Luke were puzzled to see such a scene.

‘What is that human being?’

Luke didn’t know Raccoon’s intentions, so he couldn’t help looking at Hyeonu. He wanted to kill the human at once, but it wasn’t possible. It would be a fatal blow if Raccoon aimed for that moment.

‘He needs to attack more. What is he doing?’

Hyeonu was also flustered. Raccoon’s sudden retreat wasn’t in his calculations. He thought Raccoon would draw attention at least once.

‘It can’t be helped.’

Hyeonu soon controlled his mind. He comforted himself that he could kill Luke without Raccoon’s help.

‘If I lose… he will help me then.’

His relationship with Raccoon was one where he could hope to be saved. Hyeonu felt relieved that there was a minimum safety device and approached Luke with a comfortable heart.

‘This bug like guy...’

Luke saw Hyeonu approaching fearlessly and felt anger rising. This human must’ve believed in Raccoon. However, Luke couldn’t get angry. It was because it didn’t mean anything. The thing that mattered now wasn’t to be angry, but to somehow resolve the situation. This was the biggest priority.

‘My magic power recovery is urgent.’

Magic power was needed in order to solve this task. It took time to restore his magic power.

“Where is Jeras?”

Luke chose to have a conversation as a method to buy time.

“Where do you think he is? He fell somewhere. It is with a hole in his stomach.”

Hyeonu didn’t hesitate in the slightest and provoked Luke. Hyeonu specialized in scratching at people’s nerves. It was a secret technique among secret techniques that he acquired through his long experience with virtual reality games.

“Kuhahaha!” Someone burst out laughing. “As expected, you are extraordinary!”

The owner of the laugh was Raccoon. Raccoon laughed at Hyeonu and Luke from where he escaped from the battlefield. However, no one looked at Raccoon. Luke pretended not to know because he had to secretly recover his magic power, while Hyeonu couldn’t turn his eyes away because a surprise attack might hit him while he was watching Raccoon.

Unlike the two of them, there were people who were relaxed. They were the viewers watching Hyeonu’s live stream.

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ As expected, the strongest mouth.

-Is that the devil that Siddhartha spoke of?

-Really, the devil itself.

-As expected, the pen is scarier than the knife.

The viewers admired Hyeonu’s rude words which were expressed at once. The fact that it came out without hesitation was unusual.

-By the way, can the orc just leave like that? What if Alley Leader dies?

-The boss monster is really strong, right?

-Raccoon has beaten him up. You still don’t know Alley Leader?

-He wouldn’t go out if there wasn’t a chance. There is obviously something.

-That’s right. Alley Leader entered because he thought he could win. He wouldn’t have just stupidly hit the boss monster.

‘I just went in...’

Hyeonu got a little close to Luke to meet viewers’ expectations. Then Hyeonu moved the hand that wasn’t holding the spear as if he realized something.

‘I have to turn off the voice.’

The thing that Hyeonu did was to get rid of the voice output of the live stream. The reason for doing this was simple. It was so that the words that Hyeonu would speak in the future shouldn’t flow to the viewers.

“You, don’t you remember me?” Hyeonu pointed at his face and asked.

Luke looked puzzled by Hyeonu’s question. It was like he was looking at a madman.

“I guess you don’t remember me standing next to you because you were blinded by the secret arts,” Hyeonu continued to talk when he saw that Luke didn’t respond.

“The secret arts? How do you know about that? Don’t tell me... you?”

Luke thought it was nonsense when he first heard it. Then he soon succeeded in extracting Hyeonu’s image from his memories with his superhuman memory.

‘The one standing next to that idiot!’

“You dare...” Luke finally realized how things turned out this way. Edward, who asked him to go to war, and the human standing next to him. That human participated in the war, and killed a number of divine creatures and members of the god tribe.

‘Either that human is behind everything, or Edward is behind everything.’

It didn’t matter which one it was. In any case, it didn’t change the fact that he had to beat and kill the human in front of him. Luke hastily pulled up his recovered magic power. He was going to handle Hyeonu at once using a secret art.

“You are worse than Ragand. Is that all you can see?” Hyeonu muttered to himself with an expression that said Luke was pathetic.

‘Does he know Ragand?’

Luke had to pause when he heard Hyeonu’s words. The momentum that seemed like he would pop out at any moment stopped. It was normal that now no one should know Ragand’s name. Too much time had passed. Then that name came out from the mouth of an adventurer.

“How do you know that name?”

“Let’s see? How do I know it?”

Hyeonu had no intention of answering immediately. He had to somehow shake Luke’s psychology even more.

“You have to figure it out yourself.”

The corners of Hyeonu’s mouth curled up. Then he rushed toward Luke with a ferocious spirit. The skills that Hyeonu learned influenced the momentum that Hyeonu exuded. Among them, each skill that was full of individuality showed their presence.

Fighting Energy Emission.

Mixed Sky Demonic Martial Art.

Giant's Pride.

Guardian's Breath.

Sentry’s Symbol.

Keon.

Invincible Tribe.

Road to Complete Perfection.

Among them, all the skills, except for Fighting Energy Emission, Mixed Sky Demonic Martial Art, and Keon, had something in common. It was that they were related to the giants.

‘What is that?’

Luke was surprised by the pressure flowing from Hyeonu and the magic power coming from the spear. Two things felt very familiar. The feeling was clearly imprinted in his memories.

‘The giants?’ Luke searched through his memories and found the correct answer. The giants. This feeling had clearly come from the giants.

“The giants!!! What is your identity?!!”

Luke couldn’t take it any longer and rushed at Hyeonu. It has been a long time since his mind went blank. Now all that remained was the idea of handling Hyeonu.

‘I made him lose his mind...’

Hyeonu realized that his provocation had successfully worked.

‘It is real from now on.’

All the conditions were met. The last step had to be done by Hyeonu’s hands.

‘I will aim for only one blow.’

Hyeonu didn’t think about later.

There was no later if he couldn’t clear the situation with one blow. It was difficult to guarantee that Hyeonu could beat Luke if Luke started to be wary of Hyeonu. Hyeonu extended his left foot toward the flying Luke and aimed at the spear blade. Then he quickly threw his own spear. Purple pure energy quickly rose from the end of the spear. The pure energy was more than 10 meters long.

Luke reached out toward the purple pure energy that disturbed his eyes. White pure energy gushed out from the palm of Luke’s hand.

‘It disappeared?’

It happened at this moment. The pure energy that rose from the end of Hyeonu’s spear disappeared without a trace. Luke’s pure energy only split apart the air. This was a fake.

Hyeonu gave one variable. Hyeonu’s spear, which was moving in a straight line, quickly changed its trajectory and moved toward the ground. The tip of the spear hit the ground and Hyeonu jumped high into the air using that power.

‘This is real!’

Hyeonu gathered all the magic power he could control and injected it into the Guardian’s Spear. Then he used a skill.

‘Cutting the Moonlight.’

Hyeonu stomped his feet hard in the air and stretched out his spear. The Guardian’s Spear stretched out. It stretched endlessly and finally moved in a straight line between Hyeonu and Luke. This wasn’t just using Cutting the Moonlight with a spear. It was used in conjunction with Mixed Sky Demonic Strength. The magic power was gathered together and united to bring about the effect of Cutting the Moonlight to the extreme.

‘I have to stop it! I absolutely need to stop it.’

Luke’s face turned white when he saw Hyeonu’s attack. He could feel the power contained in Hyeonu’s Cutting the Moonlight. He even thought he might die if something went wrong. Luke hastily reached out and released magic power.

A giant cog was created over Luke’s head and started to rotate so quickly that it was invisible to the naked eye. The cog randomly fired all forms of pure energy. The white pure energies flew in to break the pure energy heading toward Luke. Meanwhile, the solid purple line, which started at the end of the Guardian’s Spear, moved forward without hesitation. It pierced everything it touched. It seemed like it could pierce Luke’s heart at any moment.

However, Luke wasn’t easy. He was a great powerhouse who couldn’t be beaten by Hyeonu. The endless spinning cog descended in front of Luke’s chest.

He started to block Hyeonu’s blow. An unpleasant sound spread across the battlefield. It was such a disgusting sound that the god tribe and players who were fighting in the distance stopped for a moment.

Meanwhile, Hyeonu, Luke, and Raccoon heard the sound from the closest distance and didn’t even blink. They focused only on the battle.

‘I don’t want to interrupt, but... a promise is a promise...’

Raccoon clicked his tongue as he watched the static battle between the two of them. He wanted to see them fight until one of them fell. It was just that it was time for him to step out thanks to the promise he made with Hyeonu.

“There will be a lot to say tonight.”

Raccoon casually talked to himself before throwing the axe he was holding in his hand. The giant axe spun quickly and flew away. The place where Raccoon’s axe stopped was the spinning cog, the point where Hyeonu and Luke collided.

Raccoon’s axe was plugged into Luke’s cog. Naturally, Luke’s cog stopped. Then a very fine hole appeared in the cog. Luke’s heart had the same hole in it.
