The Return Of The Genius Ranker Of All Times [EN]: Chapter 101

Episode 435

Part 2, Episode 101.

Thunder Dragon.

The legendary additional enhancement ability of Thunder Dragon Descent, which further draws out the power of the Thunder Dragon.

When Do-hyun first activated this, he thought:

‘What would happen if I used this on Black Dragon Descent?’

When the power of the Black Dragon was added to Thunder Dragon Descent, Thunder Lightning Shift changed to Black Thunder Lightning.

Not only that.

The basic buff effects of Thunder Dragon Descent also changed, and in addition to the electric shock effect, a darkness status abnormality effect was also created.

The temporarily named Black Dragon Descent was not simply Thunder Dragon Descent covered in darkness, but rather an upgraded, separate skill.

That’s why he was curious.

‘An ability that further draws out the power of the Thunder Dragon… how would it react if used on Black Dragon Descent?’

Would it be applied as a new ability?

Or, like the description of further drawing out the power of the Thunder Dragon, would it only draw out the power of the Thunder Dragon and make little difference?

Or would an entirely unexpected situation occur?

Unable to resist his curiosity, Do-hyun used the Sign of the Holy King after catching the last general, ‘Grandav,’ and tried it out.

[Attempting to further draw out power accessed through an abnormal route.]

[Extreme mana consumption occurs as a side effect.]

[All mana has been exhausted.]

[Activation is forcibly canceled.]

Although it was canceled in 1 second without using the Tears of God, he could see it clearly.

What kind of synergy the Thunder Dragon has with Black Dragon Descent.

Although he couldn’t activate it, he could confirm what kind of ability it was.

And now.

The time has come to activate that ability he had vaguely grasped.

Pajijik!

Black sparks wrapped around his entire body from head to toe.

Even the ends of his uniform, his eyes, and even his eyebrows were wrapped in black lightning.

Raon, watching Do-hyun standing in a completely different form above the magnetic field that dominated the surrounding area, spoke with interest.

“Is that… the Black Thunder Dragon Descent that only you use? Black flames and black lightning—it’s quite a sight to see.”

But that was it.

Raon’s voice only showed interest, with no sense of crisis at all.

Of course.

Hwaruk,

“Whatever it is, it’s all the same before my flames. I heard that strange ability has a high risk of activation… it seems you’ve only tightened your noose.”

Black flames wrapped around Raon’s entire body and bloomed at his fingertips.

Whether it was Thunder Dragon Descent or whatever, as an intangible energy, it would only turn to ashes and disappear.

It was truly a desperate struggle.

Nothing more, nothing less.

[Hellfire has designated a target to execute.]

[The designated target is player ‘Kaiser.’ Hellfire automatically pursues the target.]

A fire demon made of huge blue flames rushed in like a tsunami.

The flames themselves seemed to have a will of their own, blocking Do-hyun’s escape routes as they enveloped him.

And the true horror of this fire demon lay elsewhere.

[Surrounded by a wave of blue flames.]

[Entering a ‘burn’ status abnormality, taking continuous damage over time.]

[Due to the effect of Hellfire, damage over time partially ignores defense.]

Just being surrounded by it was enough to lead to death.

This was the secret that made him the worst villain even before he obtained his signature trait.

But…….

[The hero trait prevents mental contamination.]

[The Poison King’s constitution is activated for continuous damage from a single attack.]

[Saturation considers continuous damage as poison.]

[Immune to poison due to the effect of Impenetrable.]

“Well, it doesn’t even tickle?”

The constitution left by the Poison King was not so shabby as to be defeated by something like this.

“…Tsk, you have a lot of tricks. Well, it doesn’t matter. It just means the time to enjoy this will be longer.”

Raon frowned with red eyes at the unexpected sight, but soon calmly reached out and controlled the Hellfire.

[Due to the effect of the ‘Fire Dominator’ trait, ‘Raon’ freely controls Hellfire.]

It was a beautiful sight to see the Hellfire move whenever Raon reached out.

It wasn’t particularly fast, but because of the wide range, it quickly covered Do-hyun from all directions with just a slight movement.

Kwaang- Kwang!

A heavy sound echoed each time the blue fire demon struck the ground.

Tadak.

The ground after the flames passed was a desolate land with not a single blade of grass left.

To the eyes of the group watching from above, Do-hyun looked like an acrobat performing a precarious tightrope walk above lava.

A dangerous circus where the end comes with the slightest mistake.

Even in a situation where even ordinary users would have a hard time lasting a few seconds, Do-hyun showed miraculous movements, lasting for more than 10 seconds.

But he couldn’t hold out forever.

Hwaaa-!

“This is the end, Kaiser.”

-Heuk! I can’t watch.

-Rizariza!

In the end, the blue fire demon blocked all escape routes and covered Do-hyun, and Jihad and Eliza covered their eyes, imagining the dizzying situation that would soon unfold.

And at that moment.

With the hot heat stimulating his skin, the corners of Do-hyun’s lips subtly rose, as if he had been waiting for this moment.

Hwirik,

As if he had been waiting, he took something out of his inventory and held it in his hand.

It was a bow.

[The ‘Freakish Shot’ option of the ‘Bow of the Archer Who Pierced the Cliff’ is activated.]

[Fires an arrow that pierces obstacles in a straight trajectory. At this time, the types and range of objects that can be pierced are proportional to the wearer’s strength.]

[Hellfire is an obstacle that can be pierced with the wearer’s strength.]

Just once.

A bow that can pierce through any kind of obstacle as long as the strength supports it.

‘Originally, my strength would have been insufficient to pierce that fire, but….’

He judged that it would be possible now that he was heavily buffed with the power of the Black Dragon and the Destroyer of Darkness, and his prediction was correct.

Do-hyun smiled and lightly released the bowstring that he had pulled all the way back.

Shuaaaaaak-!!

A straight passage was created in the huge wave of blue fire, like a cave created under a cliff.

Confirming this, Do-hyun kicked off the ground.

[Used Black Lightning.]

[Becomes lightning and moves quickly, piercing through everything it touches.]

Soon, he became a streak of black lightning and flew through the huge fire demon like a flash bomb.

A line that connects exactly in a straight line.

At the end of this line was Raon, his eyes wide open.

[You take 40% reduced defense damage due to Hellfire.]

[Warning! Your health is rapidly decreasing.]

[Remaining health is below 30%.]

In reality, part of his body was being eroded by Hellfire, causing fatal damage.

However, Do-hyun calmly counted numbers in his mind.

And the moment he finished counting the predetermined numbers.

[You have been in continuous combat for a certain period of time.]

[Activation conditions have been met.]

[The set effect ‘Effect Duration’ of the accessory enhanced with fragments of death is activated.]

[The duration of the effect being activated is increased by 1.5 times.]

[The activation time of Black Lightning is increased, increasing the travel distance.]

[The special option ‘Unstoppable Will’ of Avison’s necklace, added due to the traces of death, is activated.]

[Unless you stop moving after activation, you will not be stopped or pushed back by anything other than ‘Bind’.]

“……!?”

The fading sparks flared up intensely as if nothing had happened, and instantly cut through the flames.

A speed faster than the passage closing.

Raon, who had not prepared at all, hurriedly reached out, but Do-hyun had already arrived in front of Raon.

[Activates the legendary skill, ‘Call of Destiny’.]

[Brings the characteristic ‘Accumulated Power’ of ‘Gravin’.]

[Delivers a powerful blow proportional to the distance traveled without stopping during the next attack.]

[The distance traveled corresponds to the maximum value of the characteristic. Delivers a blow of maximum stack.]

‘This, this is dangerous.’

The moment he saw the black light in Cheonbyeon [Do-hyun’s sword], Raon instinctively felt a chill and stretched out both hands.

Then, following Raon’s will, the black flames that had been enveloping his entire body spread out in front of him like a shield.

He didn’t know why, but he had a feeling that if he only trusted the flames surrounding him, he would be in big trouble.

It was an animalistic judgment, and a great judgment at that.

[Brings the characteristic ‘Sure Hit’ of ‘Rabiat’.]

[The attack unconditionally hits the target, ignoring the target’s condition.]

In fact, only avoiding or blocking this attack was the answer.

A frighteningly quick judgment.

Thanks to this, the widely spread black flames flickered wildly as if to swallow Do-hyun, but Do-hyun stretched his lips wide.

‘……?’

Why?

The moment Raon saw that bitter smile, he felt an inexplicable sense of foreboding.

As if he knew he would respond like this… no, an expression that went beyond that, as if he had deliberately induced the attack.

As expected.

Whoosh-!

Just before the black flames swallowed him, his figure disappeared.

And a line of messages floating above his head.

[A mark is created.]

“Fi, Fire Barrier!”

At that, Raon hurriedly activated the skill.

A hero-class skill that can create barriers in the desired location twice to defend.

It was the Fire Wizard’s only defensive skill, and because it was instant cast, it was a defensive skill with a faster casting speed than any other defensive skill, but…

“I learned something while fighting an assassin before.”

Do-hyun was still invisible.

Only the low, deep voice that was heard quietly was telling him that he was nearby.

“Don’t you have habits for each person?”

“…Is it there!”

Instead of answering, Raon threw Hellfire at the place where the sound was heard.

Although it was an extremely narrow range, it was a legendary attack skill of a Fire Wizard with certain power.

But the moment he reached out, his vision suddenly turned upside down.

In that short gap where his left foot was off the ground to turn his body, he was kicked in the right foot from an unknown direction.

‘……What is this?’

Raon’s body floated into the air as both feet naturally came off the ground.

But it wasn’t in Raon’s nature to just be hit.

Even in the midst of being stunned by the first attack, he instinctively reached out to turn the black flames back into the form of armor.

But even this did not go as he wanted.

[Reverse Sky Phase 3rd Form, Heaven is activated.]

[Accepts ‘Black Flame that Burns Everything’ and grasps the foundation.]

[Accepts the energy and acquires related attributes.]

[It is an attribute that cannot be fully accepted.]

[Only the special fire attribute of ‘Black Flame that Burns Everything’ is applied.]

Whirly-

The flames that were flying towards the owner like a flying squirrel stopped with a single gesture from Do-hyun, who intervened in the middle.

As it rotated greatly, the flames were sent flowing in a circle like a can fire.

“……What?”

“You have a habit of defending first, not evading. It must be because you trust your fraudulent flames too much.”

At the same time as the emotionless voice that did not feel any emotional excitement stimulated his ears, his vision shook greatly once again.

Thud-! Bang!

“Cough!”

Do-hyun skewered him like a skewer, piercing his stomach with the tip of his sword and pinning him to the floor.

“So I wouldn’t have cared much that I was an All-Master. I thought it would be enough to burn it with fire anyway. Well, thanks to that, it was easy. He kept holding the sword against me.”

At the same time, a sacred harmony was heard from somewhere, and heavy iron chains crawled out and bound Raon’s entire body.

Then, a splendidly shining golden cross appeared.

[Executes the Cross of the Execution God.]

[Targets ‘Raon’.]

[It has been confirmed that both feet are touching the ground for more than 2 seconds.]

[Conditions have been met.]

[The Cross of the Execution God binds ‘Raon’ for 10 seconds.]

Raon, who was lying on the floor and bound to the cross, shouted as if struggling.

“Insolent……! Do you think you’ve won with just this? Your health is already below 20%. On the other hand, I have more than 70% left. You won’t be able to kill me in just 10 seconds. This will be your last chance…….”

“That’s right. I’m curious too. Whether I can really kill you in 10 seconds or not.”

“……What?”

Do-hyun, who smiled, raised his head and looked at the ceiling. Soon, he became a streak of lightning and soared.

The place where the disappeared Do-hyun appeared was in the air more than 10M away.

[The effect of the title ‘Destroyer of Darkness’ is activated.]

[The number of uses of Black Lightning is increased to 3.]

[Uses Black Lightning.]

The last Black Lightning that had been saved for this moment.

The only reason he used this was one.

[Additional 부여 [Bestowal] ability ‘Thunder Dragon’ is activated.]

[Additional 부여 [Bestowal] ability ‘Thunder Dragon’ reacts to the power of the Black Dragon.]

[Normalizes the abnormally obtained power of the Black Dragon for a very short time.]

[You can use some of the Black Dragon’s abilities that the caster can handle.]

[Currently, there is only one ability that can be handled.]

The Thunder Dragon’s ability that can be activated in the Black Dragon Descent state.

[Would you like to cast the Black Dragon’s Wrath?]

[Casting may result in severe side effects shortly after.]

[Caution. The caster may also suffer fatal damage if exposed to the area.]

It seemed like he had to use it in the air unconditionally when looking at its description.

‘I’m really curious about what kind of skill it is that even has precautions like this.’

Do-hyun, who smiled, cast the skill without hesitation, with high expectations.

—-!

The ceiling turned black, and an ear-splitting tinnitus poured down.
