The Return Of The Genius Ranker Of All Times [EN]: Chapter 148

148.

[Holy crap, are you kidding me!!!!]

└Why! Why!! What is it now!!

└Kaiser did it again! Seriously insane, wow!!

└What is it!! Tell me!!

└Kaiser! Kaiser opened the Outlaw Challenge!!!!

└……What!?

The moment Kaiser opened the Outlaw Challenge.

The God of Creation Online homepage and community were turned upside down.

The Outlaw Challenge.

After Arthur’s miserable end [referring to a previous failed attempt], no one dared to attempt it easily.

Even the top 10 guild masters didn’t bother to look at the challenge.

It had been over a year since it was last opened, so how could people not be interested?

-Wow, so the people in Sargis are watching it live? I’m so jealous!

-Ah, I just graduated from Sargis yesterday!!!

-Kaiser’s live viewing ticket form is insane…….

Moreover, the challenger is Kaiser, so what more needs to be said?

The bulletin board was filled with the noise of the swarming crowds.

Many were envious of the Sargis users who could see Kaiser’s Outlaw Challenge up close.

Of course, most of the comments were full of excitement and anticipation, but there were also some negative ones.

-Even so, the Outlaw is a bit…….

-Why bother……? He’s already well-deified [highly respected], why challenge it?

-Doesn’t he know that if he loses, his deified image will be shattered and his reputation will be ruined?

-It seems like he’s lost his fear because everyone keeps praising him too much.

-LOL, true. He really thinks he can do anything. I know he’s amazing, but the Outlaw is too much, LOL. Even solo? Get outta here!

Unlike other times, this time, many people supported their opinions.

It was a perfectly natural course of events.

No matter how great Kaiser was, the Outlaw was a boss of a different level.

It was hard to understand why he would risk damaging his image.

-Do you think Kaiser is doing it without thinking? He must have challenged it because he thought he had a chance.

-LOL, true. Didn’t you guys watch the Contractor’s video?

-Is he the same as the Outlaw? He’s a new guy, so there’s no comparison……. Arthur couldn’t even scratch 50% of the Outlaw. How can he catch that?

-But why does everyone think he has to catch it? Either way, even if he only reduces it to below 50%, he’s still proven something, right?

└……That’s true?

└I guess it’s because of the image Kaiser has built up.

└Yeah, even I would feel strange if Kaiser lost. It would feel like my childhood dreams were shattered?

There were many different opinions, but there was one thing they all couldn’t deny.

Why bother challenging it?

Why deliberately take the risk?

It was strange to think that Kaiser opened the challenge simply because he was a battle maniac or an attention seeker.

-Could it be related to meeting the City Lord?

-That’s what I’m saying. I can’t understand it otherwise.

The conclusion they came to was that it was related to the City Lord.

-Ah, I’m so curious, I’m going crazy.

What kind of story is there that he’s going to catch the Outlaw?

What is the relationship between the Outlaw and the City Lord?

Everything was new, so curiosity was at its peak.

Now, it wasn’t important whether he could catch the Outlaw or not. Everyone was unconsciously thinking that it was impossible.

[Hey! Holy crap!!!!]

It was then.

[Kaiser!! Kaiser finished the Outlaw Challenge!!!]

[He caught the Outlaw, holy crap!!!!]

While they were thinking about the relationship between the City Lord and the Outlaw.

An unbelievable post was uploaded to the bulletin board, and the number gradually increased, and at some point, there were dozens, hundreds of posts.

-……What? What did he finish?

-No, he caught the Outlaw? Is that even possible??

-What is it? It seems to be real? Posts keep coming up.

Each time they refreshed, the posts that came up proved it was true, but they couldn’t believe it.

How on earth did he catch that monster?

[All you bastards who said it couldn’t be done, come out!! I’m the winner for watching this live!! (jpg)]

Then came a post.

There were thousands of users cheering, and in the middle of them was a picture of Kaiser raising his head in front of the fallen Outlaw.

-What, is it real???

-No, he caught the Outlaw? How??

-Wow, that’s crazy. I should have gone to see it too!!! I had something come up……. Ah…….

└LOL, didn’t you see it? You’ll regret it for the rest of your life.

└Seriously, it was the most amazing thing ever.

└Seriously, I’m so glad I didn’t graduate from Sargis this year.

└You too? Hey, me too!

└Wow…… you guys are really devils…….

└Ah, I really wanted to take a video, but the copyright laws have become so strict since God of Creation Online came out that I couldn’t bring myself to do it.

-……I’m the traitor who said he could never catch it. I’m currently being investigated in real-time. Please forgive me……. (Jpg)

└LOL, he’s really doing it, LOL.

Naturally, there was an explosive reaction, and the news spread everywhere.

[The Outlaw Challenge, which ended in a year!?]

[Kaiser writes another myth!]

[What will be the graduation score this time?]

All sorts of articles decorated the homepage as well as various portal sites, and numerous guilds focused on it.

“……Kaiser caught the Outlaw?”

“Is that possible? He’s a monster.”

“This……. If this happens, the top 10 guilds can’t just keep watching, can they?”

“I wonder what Arthur’s expression is like.”

Of course, the top 10 guilds couldn’t have missed this news, and as they said, the top 10 guilds all had to stop what they were doing.

The nerve that was stimulated in Brion burst in Sargis this time.

And the one who showed the most interest among them…….

“The Outlaw…… what do you think, Arthur? Can you catch it again now?”

“……You’re asking the obvious.”

The King’s master, Arthur, replied with a blank expression to his colleague’s sudden question while drinking at Hope [likely a tavern or inn].

“I can catch it easily now. It won’t even take 2 minutes.”

“Yeah, I’m sure you can. You’re the strongest paladin, called the Levedra [possibly a title or honorific] of the user world.”

“Don’t make a fuss.”

“Yes, yes.”

The colleague, who smiled slyly, asked with curiosity.

“Then what if you go back to the past with your current memories? You’re in much better shape than you were then.”

“Going back to when I fought the Outlaw…… that’s a useless question. That can’t happen, can it?”

“Hey, I’m just doing it for fun. Can you do it like Kaiser?”

“Hmm.”

Still expressionless.

A handsome man with classic blonde hair and white skin, like the epitome of a paladin.

His unique expressionlessness always symbolized his perfection, but he, who had seen him for a long time, knew.

That slightly lowered lip was a habit that came out when he was thinking seriously.

But that was only for a moment.

“You must be free if you’re talking nonsense.”

“……Huh?”

“You can move a little faster. I’ll get up now.”

“Oh, oh? No, I’m still tired. Can’t we rest a little longer and think about it? I don’t want to go to that forest again……. Ugh, that guy never listens to people.”

He sighed, pinching his forehead as he watched Arthur’s back as he left Hope.

He couldn’t help but be a boring guy.

But what could he do?

He was their leader.

“Hey, I’m going with you!”

Arthur, who glanced at him hurrying after him, looked forward again and walked.

His face was expressionless, but the corners of his lips were slightly lowered.

The question he had asked a little while ago kept lingering in his mind.

‘Fighting the Outlaw again…….’

He would get a better score.

Back then, he experienced the 2nd phase for the first time, so he wasn’t prepared, and it was true that his form was worse than it is now.

But, even so, could he catch it?

‘……Honestly, I don’t know.’

That was clearly a boss that wasn’t made to be caught.

‘……Was he called the unrivaled one during the Demlock era?’

The current top 10 guilds are the max level above the max level. Those who are called the sky above the sky [extremely powerful players].

It didn’t make sense that a man who was barely level 50 was threatening them.

There was that much of a gap between them and that man.

……But why?

‘I have to remember it.’

For some reason, it felt like the day would come when they would meet again.

As he headed to the Forgotten Forest, Arthur engraved Kaiser’s name in his mind.

* * *

Meanwhile, at that time when everyone’s attention was focused.

“What, why are there so many people in front of the castle? I can’t even go forward.”

“Don’t you know? Kaiser just entered the castle.”

“What? Really? Ah, I missed the live viewing, so I should have at least seen that!!”

“Ugh, that’s why I told you to change your day and night. Who lives like that?”

The front of Sargis Castle was full of users.

Kaiser, who finally caught the Outlaw, was said to be meeting the City Lord, so the curious users gave up hunting and gathered.

“Oh? But you managed to come here unscathed?”

“? What are you talking about?”

“I heard it was a close call. If you had hit him then, you would have become the Kaiser Slayer [someone who attacks Kaiser]. I couldn’t possibly do that in that atmosphere?”

“There are more than one or two thugs in this game. Of course, there were. But as soon as they ambushed him, he immediately countered and caught them in reverse. And then he glared at the audience with a fierce look, wow, he was so cool…….”

“Wow, awesome…….”

“Not only that. At that moment, Charlie 딱! stepped forward to protect him, and even the users who were watching joined in to escort him? It was just like the miracle of Moses in front of the castle [a reference to the biblical story of Moses parting the Red Sea].”

“The romance is insane.”

The bustling noise was all about Kaiser.

Kaiser’s heroic tale, what quest he was doing, what he would show, what his graduation score would be, and so on.

The guards shook their heads as they watched the users full of stories.

“Manage it thoroughly. He said not to let anyone in.”

“I’ve never seen such a crowd…….”

The guards and NPCs were bewildered by the sight they were seeing for the first time in a year and a half.

On the one hand, they were also admiring him.

“Was he really such an amazing person?”

“It’s just a rumor……. Hansel said he heard the apostles talking about how that man caught the Outlaws.”

“……What? Do you believe such nonsense?”

“No, listen to me. That man met the City Lord a few days ago, didn’t he? We don’t even get to meet him…….”

Words without feet go a thousand miles [rumors spread quickly].

The rumors that went from tail to tail were constantly spreading.

And at that time when the outside of the castle was noisy.

Clang-

“Ah…….”

Dohyun was facing the City Lord, Jay Rooddel, and the head butler in the City Lord’s room with the guardians.

The teacup he was holding fell and shards flew, but Jay Rooddel didn’t move.

The head butler, who would have been worried and cleaned up the shards, was the same.

“Is that……. really true?”

“Yes. This is what came out after catching him.”

Dohyun showed the half-key that had not yet been combined.

He showed the dark energy of the King of Darkness.

“This is……!”

Jay Rooddel was shocked to face that cold energy.

How could he forget that energy?

It was the energy that the man who buried so many people in death, made him sick, and killed the commander of the Knights was emitting.

“Then really…….”

“Yes. There is no more Outlaw. The city is safe.”

“Ah…….”

Could it be that he couldn’t speak?

Jay Rooddel’s eyes, which couldn’t close his mouth, gradually turned red.

The tears that flowed down showed how much he had suffered.

“Thank you. Thank you so much. I really don’t know how to repay this grace…….”

He just kept bowing his head.

Dohyun, who was staring at him blankly, carefully approached and put his hand on his shoulder.

Then he made eye contact and smiled slightly.

“……Hero?”

“Thank you for your greetings, and I have something to say, but I don’t have much time now.”

“What is…….”

What do you mean?

Before that question could be uttered, Dohyun took the lead.

“There is someone I would like to introduce.”

“……Introduce?”

“He’s a talkative man……. The City Lord knows him well too.”

The City Lord’s eyes, which had blinked several times, were soon filled with shock.

As if he couldn’t believe it, his eyes, filled with hope, were asking Dohyun.

If what he was thinking was right.

“Yes. Just for a moment…….”

Dohyun, who nodded, handed over the dark energy.

The moment Jay Rooddel carefully received it.

-No, is this really the only way? I don’t care if it’s just for a moment, but it’s a bit much for a kid who’s already not feeling well to be holding that…… Oh, right. Of course, I asked you to do it, but still…… Oh?

“……Uncle?”

-……Jay.

A ghost was seen talking non-stop to Dohyun.

It was a very missed face.
