The Return Of The Genius Ranker Of All Times [EN]: Chapter 14

346.

Part 2, Episode 12.

It was a living being.

Its silhouette was generally similar to a human, but it wore a robe, making it impossible to determine its gender or race.

Its attire, reminiscent of the tomb’s intruders, made Dohyun narrow his eyes.

There was something strange about it.

‘The author is in every scene.’

It wasn’t just in one scene.

From the first scene to the second, third, fourth… it was present in the darkness behind every scene.

‘What does showing me this mean? Is it related to the intruders?’

Its attire is similar to the intruders, and the fact that it’s being shown to me now… it’s too suspicious to simply dismiss as a coincidence.

Come to think of it, there were many suspicious things about the intruders.

From the fact that a different race infiltrated the Empire’s secret dungeon to the fact that the archer wielded the Hero’s Bow, blessed by the World Tree.

Lastly.

‘…He definitely said that guy was a half-human.’

And that’s not all.

He also said something strange about the prophecy being wrong.

According to Gamilion, only a handful of other races know the history and truth of ancient humanity.

In such cases, there were two possibilities.

‘Either the archer is one of those few, or the current other races have changed from what Gamilion knows.’

It seems I need to talk to Gamilion again.

As he was thinking that.

KWA-BOOM-!!

AAAAAAH!!

The scenes suddenly changed drastically.

The elves, who had formed a large army, were screaming in the fiery battlefield, covered in blood, and the nymphs, who moved using the wind as a foothold, had their legs severed and were collapsing in a miserable state.

Instead of a woman holding a greatsword, corpses were lined up on the cliff, and below, in the village.

Numerous elves were dead among the collapsing buildings.

And those who looked similar to them but had dark skin were breaking through the flames, fleeing as if being chased by something.

Even at that moment, the robed figure was merely watching from afar.

Just when he was about to feel frustrated by that.

WHOOSH-

Darkness swallowed the world, and something flashed beyond the darkness.

‘…Eyes?’

Reptilian….

No, more like a beast.

However, it felt too enormous and chilling to be called a beast.

In fact, its mere presence was gradually causing the mystical light emitted by the World Tree to lose its power and fade.

He couldn’t see its exact form, but he could instinctively feel it.

It was more dangerous than any enemy he had ever seen.

—!

At that moment.

The eyes turned directly towards Dohyun,

[The given time has ended.]

“……!”

As if he had been submerged underwater and forcibly pulled up.

His mind snapped back, and his vision changed.

“Huk!?”

“?”

The scenes he had been watching just moments ago had disappeared without a trace, and he saw the fading stone tower and Martie, who was stepping back in surprise.

He was back in reality.

“Ah, I apologize if I startled you. Were you waiting?”

“No, it’s just that you suddenly opened your eyes right when I was approaching… Ah, I finished a while ago. My score was low, so there wasn’t much information I could see, haha.”

Martie, who gave a hearty laugh, went on to tell him in detail what information he had seen, even though he hadn’t asked.

‘5,000 points… then that means I have almost 30,000 bonus points.’

Apparently, they give about a thousand points for each gate you pass.

He said that he only filled the minimum score, so he only had 10 seconds of given time, and most of his questions were rejected, so he ended up just getting the location of a cave with rare herbs.

-Where is that? If you didn’t do anything but found a gold mine with rare herbs, that’s a jackpot.

-Agreed.

-But if Martie got that much, what information did Kaiser get? Did he get a hidden piece or something?

-His score must be at least twice as high.

-I’m curious, but I’ll probably get cut off if I ask?

-Yeah, I don’t have the confidence to handle Charlie. Why don’t you try to seduce him?

-Do you think that’ll work?

Thanks to Charlie and Martie’s hard work.

Now, the viewers didn’t readily ask what Dohyun had obtained.

“I also had a lot of blocked questions, so I just asked them to tell me the information I needed. To be honest, I still don’t understand what this information is, even after seeing it.”

-Oh, he’s telling us?

-Ah… Merciful Kashin. Thank you.

-If even Kaiser has a lot of blocked questions, does that mean there are separate prerequisites to see certain information?

-What’s the score? Is it more than double?

“Yes. I think it’s more than double.”

-Kya~

-That attitude as if it’s nothing. Is this the dignity of a god?

-Kaiser oppa, take me (wagging)

-But seriously, doesn’t Kaiser have more male fans?

-It’s probably because he doesn’t reveal his face.

-Please be ugly… If he has that skill, items, abilities, and is even handsome? I can’t live like that.

-Can you handle that statement? There are more than a few Kashin followers here.

-Ah…?

-Farewell. I won’t go far.

Thanks to that, even if he answered appropriately, they liked it, and no one complained, and the topic naturally changed.

This was a very rare occurrence.

Usually, when you do a collaboration broadcast, the guest has almost no privacy during the broadcast.

Because of that, if you hide something, you have to suffer the viewers’ nagging all day long.

In the world of God of Streamers streaming, there were only a handful of guests who had such a comfortable time.

This was possible because of Charlie’s shield, but also because Martie, as a streamer, took the initiative to create such an atmosphere.

‘I should thank Martie separately after the broadcast.’

Those sparkling eyes looking at him don’t feel so uncomfortable anymore.

‘…Or do they?’

It feels a little uncomfortable.

Dohyun, feeling a bit unwell, subtly averted his gaze.

-So, is it over now?

-We caught the intruders, and it seems like the dungeon is cleared, so isn’t it cleared now?

-But the message isn’t popping up?

-Huh? That’s right?

At the same time, a perfectly valid question was raised in the chat.

“Come to think of it….”

It had been several minutes since he obtained the information, but the dungeon clear message hadn’t appeared.

Just as Martie was about to agree that it was strange.

[Warning! Those who have reacted to the energy of the stone tower are awakening.]

[The blind ones are trying to punish those who have entered the tomb.]

[Escape from them or defeat them all.]

A message close to a warning echoed,

WHOOSH-!!!

A tearing sound, as if someone was ripping through the wind, was heard from somewhere.

A spear thrown by someone was flying fiercely towards Dohyun and Martie.

It was flying so fast that it was already close when they noticed it.

“Hiiiiek!”

Martie screamed in horror at the sudden unexpected situation.

The chat room was also silent as if it had frozen in shock, then it was flooded with messages telling them to dodge and avoid it.

In a moment frozen in time.

CLANG!

Charlie, who moved faster than anyone else, knocked the spear away.

Ggggrrr… Ggrrr….

Ggggrrrrr…

At the same time, the dead emerged one after another, breaking through the walls and the ground.

Behind the dead, who appeared with a cold chill, a heavily built dead man, resembling a barbarian warrior, who was presumed to have thrown the spear, exhaled.

The moment he faced them, he could be sure that they were the ‘blind ones’ without asking any further questions.

Because their eyes were all empty.

-WTF;;;

-What is that again? It’s always something new.

-Oh my god, how many are there? It looks like there are hundreds at a glance.

-They’re still coming from behind the wall. Can we escape from this?

The sudden attack of grotesque-looking dead that seemed to have no end.

Anyone would instinctively flinch at the sight, but Charlie’s reaction was completely different.

-How dare… you maggots aim for my lord. Repay your sins with death!

Instead of being afraid, he glared as if he was angry and immediately swung his sword.

Moreover, it wasn’t just a simple sword.

It was still faint, but the light that had become a little darker than before was wrapped around the sword.

[Sword of Light – Uses the Light of Dawn.]

[The Light of Dawn dwells in Charlie de Lavion’s sword.]

It was the Light of Dawn that had reached the realm of 2 stars.

What had changed was not only the intensity of the light wrapped around the sword.

[Inflicts a Light Slash.]

When Charlie forcefully swung the sword he was holding with both hands, the light exploded as the points gathered in one place.

—-!

“Oh my god!”

Martie, who instinctively opened his eyes that he had closed at the dazzling explosion of light, let out a gasp of astonishment.

It was an exaggerated reaction that didn’t suit someone who introduced himself as a proud explorer, but Martie was sure.

Anyone who saw this sight would have no choice but to react the same way.

[The Jealous Blind One has been defeated.]

[The Greedy Blind One has been defeated.]

…….

[The Angry Blind One has been defeated.]

The traces of light swung in front of Charlie did not disappear and were faintly engraved on the floor in front, and all the enemies in that trajectory had disappeared.

He had erased dozens of enemies with a single slash without a trace.

This alone was shocking, but this was not the end.

SWISH- SWISH-

SWISH-

Every time Charlie, who had jumped into the middle of the enemy lines, swung his sword while taking his unique flowing steps, a faint light was scattered in the air like stardust.

[The Angry Blind One has been defeated.]

[The Jealous Blind One has been defeated.]

…….

[The Life-Blind One has been defeated.]

Every time that happened, the enemies were cut down like tofu.

GRRRRR-!

The enemies, who instinctively gathered and rushed in, feeling a sense of crisis, but nothing changed.

Because the moment a few of them rushed in and touched the light, they were cut down in vain.

[The energy of Flowing Water has reached a certain level or higher.]

[You can activate Secret Fire.]

[Activates Secret Fire.]

WHOOSH-!

Rather, it only served as a sacrifice to increase the overlap of Charlie’s Flowing Water Secret Fire Sword.

—–!

The highly condensed flame contained a hot heat and burned the surroundings, and the moment it touched the enemies, it melted and penetrated them too easily.

It was weak compared to the Light Slash, but the impact was certain.

-Wow, holy sh*t

-WTF did I just see?

-Is this a Guardian? Is this a Guardian? Is this a Guardian?

-No, are Kaiser’s Guardians on another level?

-Is that the Guardian class that fought Garion? If that’s the case, I admit that he has so many gray hairs because he fought with his three-inch tongue and told me to do it properly before he pulled them all out.

-Yeah, seriously, I think he’s stronger than me.

-Seriously, if I fight him, I bet all my fortune that I’ll beat him in 10 seconds.

-? You?

-No, he’ll beat me.

Watching the shocked chat room, Dohyun raised the corners of his lips with a smirk.

‘It’s not just me who has grown.’

The secret to the damage that was clearly different from before.

The influence of the Light of Dawn, which had reached the realm of 2 stars, was also a factor, but that wasn’t the only reason.

Rather, he was sure that the other reason was bigger.
