The Return Of The Genius Ranker Of All Times [EN]: Chapter 10

Part 10.

It was already good, but after enhancing it to +15, it was extraordinary.

The only drawback—the requirement that each weapon must touch for 3 seconds—isn’t that difficult if the Three-Second Style of Sky [a defensive technique] works.

Even touching during the activation of Sky counts as time.

‘It’s actually great if they use a finishing move.’

So far, it’s been a 100% defense rate technique.

Since it’s a weapon option, I was confident I could reverse any finishing move.

It was truly a perfect weapon in every way.

‘But still…’

After briefly praising the Celestial Transformation [a weapon enhancement], Dohyun slowly turned his head.

What’s important now isn’t this.

‘Just what kind of guys were they? The first entry appeared, so they can’t be users [players].’

Judging by their speech and physique, they aren’t monsters.

But to think of them as NPCs [Non-Player Characters], that’s problematic.

Does the Empire have NPCs like that?

Considering their extraordinary skills and the performance of such a cheat-level weapon, they must be strong enough to be at least in the Top 100.

‘Still, I’m supposedly a hero of the Empire, there’s no way I wouldn’t recognize them.’

But just in case.

If he’s an NPC of the Empire and attacked me even after recognizing me, it’s one of two things.

‘The information to be gained here is bad, or they’re treacherous betrayers.’

Either way, they’re bad guys.

So, whether they’re Empire NPCs or someone else, there’s no need to care, just reveal their identity.

And there was a good method.

[Sudden Quest, ‘Intruders of the Tomb’ is cleared with unbelievable results, and the reward is enhanced.]

[You can use the Tomb of Complete Information, and the quality of information you can obtain from the tomb is further enhanced.]

[The intruder drops the most important trace.]

The quest reward was enhanced, and the intruder’s trace changed to ‘the most important trace.’

Those who can be called the strong of the Empire all possess something that symbolizes them.

If it’s the most important trace, there’s a high probability it’s that.

-Matty, so aren’t you going to show the reward?

-That’s right. The reward is right where those guys were, why aren’t you even going near it?

-Please check it quickly.

Just in time, the viewers were curious and urged him, but Matty firmly shook his head.

“No. I didn’t do anything. Kaiser-nim should take all the rewards. Also, as a guest, you have no obligation to disclose information if you don’t want to. No! Even if you do, I won’t disclose it!”

Wasn’t it enough to just spout words with the ambition of a dignified general?

Matty raised his clenched fist and shouted.

“God of exploration… no, God of all gods! Leave this place to me and comfortably check the rewards!”

Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap!

Then, a thunderous applause followed.

Charly, who was moved, threw away his sword and applauded Matty with a warm smile.

-He is an enlightened one! Those who do not recognize the great are like looking at the world through a knothole. You have the qualities!

-……What qualities? The qualities to become a fanatic?

It was Jihad who accurately represented his feelings for once, but Charly didn’t even listen and patted Matty’s shoulder.

-I want to introduce you to someone. She would like you very much too.

“……Would she like someone like me? I can’t find the way, can’t find the key, and I’m just a mediocre person who can’t find traps….”

-Trust my eyes. You will do your part very well!

-Rizariza….

-I don’t know.

Matty is gradually being swayed by Charly’s conviction.

Eliza and Jihad shake their heads next to them.

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Charly is so good at talking ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-He’s a cult leader himself

-I knew it since Charly was on good terms with fanatics.

-No, is that the same Charly who only spewed venom at me for 3 hours during the tutorial?

-What did he say?

-Nothing much. Just that since you’re so unskilled, you couldn’t even protect your hair. Who are you going to protect with that skill? I can’t entrust my subordinate’s back to someone like you, so don’t make other people lose their hair and just shut up and follow me?

-Wow.

Dohyun, alternating between the chat that had turned into a sea of laughter and Charly, who looked like he was about to die of happiness, sighed softly.

‘Why is it always my share to be embarrassed?’

I’m sure I’ve lived without any shame before heaven.

-……Master?

-Riza……?

Doesn’t he know that he himself is shameless?

-That’s strange… I definitely remember a lot… I think I saw him sniffling and wailing….

-Rizariza….

Dohyun, who lightly ignored the guardians’ bitter eyes, turned his steps.

Anyway, it was true that he was able to check it comfortably thanks to Matty, so he thought he should check the traces without paying more attention to such things.

[You have obtained the most important trace of the intruder ‘Renel’.]

[Renel’s Bead]

[Grade: Rare]

[Description: A bead cherished by ‘Renel’, the intruder of the Tomb of Information.

You can feel the traces of a long time.]

‘……Is this the most important trace?’

Unless this is like a precious memento from my mother, it’s hard to understand.

But thinking a little differently, it makes some sense.

‘This isn’t the most important item, but a trace. This bead might be the only clue to find his identity.’

The problem is that I can’t grasp it even if I look at it right now.

It seemed better to investigate this separately later.

[You have obtained the most important trace of the intruder ‘Kayana’.]

[Kayana’s Dagger]

[Grade: Hero]

[Description: An affectionate dagger of the intruder ‘Kayana’, who possesses excellent dagger skills.

The combination of the skill of an excellent craftsman and her ability contains the ability to make the wearer agile.]

[Level Restriction: 95]

[Equipment Restriction: Assassin Class]

[Physical Attack Power: 1463 ~ 1507]

[Durability: 100 / 100]

[Haste: Gives the body the energy of wind for 70 seconds, increasing movement speed by 15%. (Cooldown 120 seconds)]

[Quick Footwork: Increases speed related to footwork by 10% for 90 seconds. (Cooldown 180 seconds)]

‘This is… good?’

Since God of Second Life is a game with a fixed skill slot, these options, which are no different from skills, are very valuable.

Even having just one is a honey item, but there are two movement speed-related buff options.

‘I have to get this no matter what.’

Since Dohyun was still using the Assassin’s Dagger, there was no reason not to replace it.

One regret is that.

Since it’s a Hero grade, the increase is somewhat disappointing….

[Celestial Transformation (千變) devours ‘Kayana’s Dagger’.]

[The previously equipped ‘Assassin’s Dagger’ is replaced with ‘Kayana’s Dagger’.]

[It is a weapon of a lower grade than the grade of Celestial Transformation (千變).]

[Attack power and options are amplified according to the grade.]

This could not be a problem for Dohyun.

If you leave it to our cheat item Celestial Transformation (千變), it will upgrade it on its own.

[+15 Celestial Transformation (千變) – (Kayana’s Dagger)]

[Grade: Legend (Unique)]

[Description: An affectionate dagger of the intruder ‘Kayana’, who possesses excellent dagger skills.

The combination of the skill of an excellent craftsman and her ability contains the ability to make the wearer agile.]

[Level Restriction: 95]

[Equipment Restriction: Assassin Class]

[Physical Attack Power: 1743 ~ 1790 + (2,365 ~ 2,583)]

[Durability: 100 / 100]

[Haste: Gives the body the energy of wind for 80 seconds, increasing movement speed by 20%. (Cooldown 120 seconds)]

[Quick Footwork: Increases speed related to footwork by 15% for 100 seconds. (Cooldown 180 seconds)]

‘Hmm, perfect.’

The duration has also increased by 10 seconds, and the speed amplification has also increased by 5%.

In addition, attack power suitable for the grade of Celestial Transformation (Unique) and additional attack power due to enhancement were also granted.

Of course, since the base weapon’s size is low, there were many disappointing aspects compared to other Legend (Unique) grades in terms of attack power and options.

‘It’s a bit disappointing that the option enhancement after +12 is only applied to the Celestial Transformation itself.’

Well, even if I say this, it would be shameless to ask for that as well.

Dohyun, who was disappointed at first because he was given a piece of bead, now had a smile on his face as if nothing had happened.

But the main dish was separate.

‘Akira.’

The guy who surprised Dohyun the most and the intruder who had the best skills.

Looking at the other traces, the circumstances suggest that this guy is an archer.

‘If only that arrow would drop….’

Not only could I get an explanation of the weapon I was most curious about, but I could also also take a big step closer to the guy’s identity.

Dohyun, who swallowed dry saliva, reached out with a nervous face.

[You have acquired the most important trace of the intruder ‘Akira’.]

[Acquire ‘Astra’s Arrow’.]

‘Nice!’

Dohyun’s complexion brightened at the desired message.

He was worried that a junk item like Renel’s Bead would drop this time.

‘It would be nice to get a weapon as well.’

It’s not that I was greedy because I didn’t have a usable bow.

Dohyun, who justified himself in that way, opened the item information with a trembling heart.

[Astra’s Arrow]

[Grade: ??]

[Description: An arrow imbued with the soul of the great hero ‘Astra’, who received the revelation of the World Tree.

It is a symbolic weapon that is the only one in the world, and only a hero who has received the revelation of the World Tree can use it.]

[Equipment Restriction: Those who have received the revelation of the World Tree]

[Physical Attack Power: ? ~ ???]

[Durability: 100 / 100]

[Mimicry (擬變): Reacts to the wearer’s will to shoot an arrow and transforms into the most suitable form for the user.]

[Hero’s Sight: Maximizes the power contained in the arrow.

At this time, the amount and density of energy that will be the maximum are proportional to the wearer’s mental strength.]

-The soul of Astra has been dimmed by an unknown force.

You can ignore the equipment restrictions and use it a certain number of times.

-Number of uses available: (2 / 4)

The amount of information felt unusual at a glance.

The first thing that caught my eye was the description box.

It was also at the top, and since I was more curious about the guy’s identity, I hoped there would be something in the description.

The moment I checked the description.

‘……Hmm?’

Dohyun’s eyebrows twitched.

It was because of the name that was included not only in the description but also in the equipment restrictions.

‘World Tree?’

Even Dohyun, who had not gone to the New Continent, knew what the World Tree was.

An island mainly composed of lush forests and nature-friendly races.

The place where users first reach, so it is known as the first New Continent.

‘Fairy King’s Island, Elannis.’

The huge tree located in the center of the place.

The name of the tree called Shinmok (神木) [Sacred Tree] by the residents of Elannis was the World Tree.

And there were three main groups that worshiped the World Tree.

Nymphs of the Wind, Elves of the Forest, and Fairies.

That means….

‘……Why is this alien race here?’

It meant that the identity of Akira, the intruder of the tomb, was one of those three.
