The Return Of The Genius Ranker Of All Times [EN]: Chapter 266

266.

The author’s comment was pinned.

It included two images.

A woman in black clothes lying on her back, body disintegrating, and the backs of a group disappearing into the distance.

└? What is it?

└??

└The woman is blurred, and… huh? Isn’t that Kaiser’s back?

└It’s hard to tell from this distance… a golden-haired knight and a robe? Looking at the group, it seems right?

└Huh? Is this real-time? What’s going on?

└Seems like it? That’s the southern field, and there was a comment about an hour ago saying Kaiser was seen entering the southern field.

└But what does that have to do with something big exploding? Isn’t it just a normal back view? Did he get a hidden quest from the Emperor or something?

The attitude of those who recognized the figures in the images changed.

They sensed that a comment with a real-time photo was not just a troll.

Naturally, people began to analyze the photos, and for the internet detectives, even blurring was no obstacle.

-Huh?

-Wait a minute.

-Isn’t that woman… Sina?

-Sina? The Blood Kill Guild Master?

-Blue hair and assassin’s outfit. It’s definitely her?

They quickly identified the dead woman.

-Hey, Sina isn’t the only one with blue hair and an assassin’s outfit. It’s a game with a billion people; you’ll find plenty if you look. Why would the Blood Kill Master be dead there?

-LOL, spreading false information will get you assassinated.

-They’re messing with Blood Kill when they have nothing else to do. LOL They’ll get killed without even knowing it and rage quit to come to their senses.

-It’s always said in God of Creation Online that you don’t mess with the Emperor, the White Magic Tower, and Blood Kill.

Of course, some said it was an overreaction, but that opinion was quickly dismissed.

-Nah, I’m a bit scared of Blood Kill, so I analyzed it several times, and it’s definitely Sina. The necklace, ring, hair length, and even skin tone are exactly the same. Analyze it yourself here. ……(jpg)

└Wow, crazy… it’s real.

└Wait a minute. Kaiser’s group and Sina… is this a coincidence?

└Crazy, could it be…?

The analysis, with several comparison images attached, undeniably pointed to Sina.

Sina is dead. Kaiser’s group is leaving leisurely.

It was a small piece of information, but what could be inferred was clear.

-Author: I didn’t say anything. I didn’t infringe on any portrait rights. I’m out.

The author disappeared with a winking emoticon as the finishing touch.

At this point, even a fool would know.

-…Sina got defeated by Kaiser?

-Huh…?

-Really?

The reputation of the never-before-defeated top 10 guilds had been broken for the first time.

Their seemingly impregnable castle had been cracked.

-Wow, is this real?

-Kaiser > Top 10 Guilds theory proven immediately, lol.

-OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG

-Damn it, I have to worship him again!

-Kaiser is a god! Kaiser is a god! Kaiser is a god! Kaiser is a god!

-??? : Top 10 Guilds? They’re nothing special?

-Why join a guild LOL? He can do everything alone.

-It’s not that he doesn’t join a guild, but there’s nowhere worth joining LOL.

It was only natural that there was an explosive reaction.

Not only did it quickly fill the comments on the post, but the news spread beyond communities and homepages to various portal sites, shocking many people.

The top 10 guilds weren’t just large guilds, and it was surprising that they were defeated by a single individual, and that individual was Kaiser?

[Sina, the Master of the Blood Kill Guild. The most assassin-like assassin, known as the genius of assassination, who terrified everyone, has been defeated!?]

[The man who defeated her is Kaiser!? Following the World Quest [攻略 – strategy/walkthrough], victory over the Imperial Family and Sina? The world’s attention is focused on his unconventional 행보 [haengbo – steps/actions]…….]

[Kaiser, where are his limits!?]

There was no way a reporter wouldn’t smell this delicious scent.

Articles quickly spread the news everywhere, and this news soon reached the ears of the top 10 guilds who were holding a meeting.

“…What? Sina died to Kaiser?”

“What is this nonsense all of a sudden…!”

“WTF, what is this? Is it real?”

“…She lost? Her assassination is annoying even for us, I’m honestly surprised.”

From Xiao to Damian, Leon, and even Arthur. Everyone exclaimed in shock.

They had been pushed back by Kaiser in the World Quest, but being pushed back in a raid and this incident were completely different.

A boss raid isn’t something you do alone, and it’s not a direct defeat.

But a one-on-one?

It was no different than proving that they were below him without any excuses.

“Damn it, that sly bitch. She didn’t even participate in the meeting and moved on her own, causing this mess?”

“Hmph, we shouldn’t have put her on the same level as us. How can she be grouped with us with her specs [specifications/abilities]?”

So it was only natural that Leon and Xiao, who had strong pride, were excited and fuming.

“In terms of power alone, she’s the lowest among us, but her assassination is real. If she attempts an assassination, are you confident that you can survive no matter what?”

“…It’s fifty-fifty.”

Leon clicked his tongue as if he had nothing to say.

Sina, she hunts those who are superior to her. It was possible because she was an assassin, not a combatant.

In that respect, she was undoubtedly the best assassin.

This wasn’t her problem.

“Then how do you explain this? Is Kaiser on the same level as us? A guy who hasn’t even reached max level yet?”

“…….”

…That’s why it doesn’t make sense.

Arthur was silent, watching Xiao frown.

‘An absurd parrying ability… but that’s it. Objectively, he doesn’t measure up to us.’

Surely that was the case, but why did he always do the impossible?

Catching the Forgotten King, and even winning against Sina.

Everything was full of questions.

But the most bewildered person here was.

‘…? What is all this about?’

It was Ast.

‘Catch Sina? That guy Kaiser?’

He had just sent a warning message, and in that short time, a battle unfolded and he even won?

‘That’s absurd.’

Ast, with the expression of a man who had lost his millstone handle [feeling utterly helpless or at a loss], chuckled.

He knew he was a monster, but this went beyond that category.

He wasn’t even at max level yet, but his growth rate was ridiculous.

‘…Am I going to be caught up soon too?’

He was happy to be showing an example as a senior here, at least.

That small pleasure was about to disappear at the speed of light.

Ast, feeling half anxious and half relieved, glanced around.

“What a bolt out of the blue… Haa, this is a headache.”

“Is there anything more to see? Shouldn’t we get rid of him now before he grows any further?”

“Wait a minute. It’s weird if we step in when Blood Kill is staying still.”

“Ah… I see.”

“……?”

“Did that bastard eat something wrong? Why is he acting like that since earlier?”

Everyone except Harrington, who was looking up at the ceiling with sparkling eyes, couldn’t hide their bewilderment.

‘Did Damian know?’

Turning his gaze for the last time, he saw a coldly sunken face.

A face that still didn’t reveal his inner thoughts.

But Ast, who had been watching him all along, could see it.

That he was quietly furious.

‘I guess that guy knew. So, he got a hit [was affected/angered].’

It wasn’t just his imagination that Damian’s fist seemed to be trembling as he made eye contact with Ast, who was smirking as if he was getting his own back.

‘Damn it…….’

To solve a problem without getting your hands dirty?

It was wrong to even have such expectations.

When he first founded the guild, he was always nervous and fighting in a lawless zone.

He couldn’t have imagined sitting back and thinking they would take care of it on their own.

‘How is such growth possible?’

A guy who was treated as if he couldn’t even get his name on the World Quest [攻略 – strategy/walkthrough] ranking took first place.

A guy who was thought to be no match for the top 10 guilds caught Sina.

Just a month ago, he was fighting a bloody battle with the 100th-ranked guild, and now he’s here, and no one knows what will happen if he’s given more time.

‘We have to strike now. If we’re late, there won’t be another chance.’

Damian’s eyes changed as he steeled his heart.

The sharp, sparkling eyes of a lion.

He was calmly calming his mind, recalling the glory of the past.

Ding-

A cheerful notification broke the serious atmosphere of the meeting.

Damian’s face hardened as he saw the message that suddenly appeared above his head.

It wasn’t just Damian.

“What?”

“…Could this be?”

“Huh, is it going to be like this?”

The message appeared simultaneously to others as well.

Leon was dumbfounded, Arthur had a strange face as if he was interested, and Xiao and Ast were chuckling.

There were various reactions, but no one was picking a fight.

[The ‘Imperial Quest’ will be opened in the Arnis Empire.]

[The Emperor, ‘Bahalun de Arnis,’ requests all users of the Empire to [攻略 – strategy/walkthrough] ‘The Maze of Prohibition.’]

[The user who contributes the most to the [攻略 – strategy/walkthrough] will receive a special reward.]

[Bonus points will be given to the user who opened the Imperial Quest.]

[The user who opened the Imperial Quest is ‘Kaiser’.]

Something unbelievable was happening.

‘Imperial Quest…….’

A quest in which an NPC with high power in the Empire directly commissions all users.

Unlike the World Quest, in which users from all cities participate, only users in the Empire can participate.

It’s a missile-level quest that opens every few months, but this one was definitely a nuclear missile level.

‘The Emperor directly commissioned it?’

The Emperor, who had a strong sense of pride, had never opened an Imperial Quest before.

And the type and level of rewards for the Imperial Quest vary depending on the NPC who opened the quest.

It was only natural since the NPC was giving the rewards directly.

‘When the White Magic Tower Lord opened it, I got a legendary staff and a signature skill.’

Then what about the Emperor, who is higher than the White Magic Tower Lord?

It was certain that a huge reward would be given.

Even if that wasn’t the case, it was an opportunity to aim for friendship with the Emperor through this quest.

This was the real deal more than any other reward.

The protagonist of this Imperial Quest will be able to leap higher based on the Emperor’s favor.

‘A swarm of people will gather.’

It was obvious that another storm would rage after the World Quest.

Smirk.

Damian’s lips twitched as he briefly imagined the scene.

‘When too many people gather, things go wrong.’

For example, a fight breaks out.

Someone dies in vain due to a small mistake.

‘There’s no need to worry about justification.’

If he did well, he could kill two birds with one stone.

‘I don’t know what tricks he used…….’

Damian smiled like a snake, feeling that the unpleasantness had disappeared and been replaced by a strong sense of anticipation.

‘It will be digging his own grave, Kaiser.’
