The Return Of The Genius Ranker Of All Times [EN]: Chapter 161

161.

Descent of the Thunder Dragon.

An arrogant name, implying the descent of a Thunder Dragon that dominates the sky.

While it doesn’t literally summon a Thunder Dragon, everyone who witnessed the spectacle unanimously agreed:

They saw a dragon made of lightning.

KWA-AAAAANG!

[You have used Descent of the Thunder Dragon.]

A deafening roar echoed, seemingly tearing the world apart.

In a world silenced by the ringing in their ears, lightning struck without a sound.

—-!

It was a dragon. A dragon made of lightning.

The Thunder Dragon descended upon Do-hyun as if falling vertically from the sky.

PAAT-!

Then, a blue light flashed and swept through the surroundings.

A brief moment.

When the fleeting light disappeared, the surrounding landscape had changed. The gathering trolls had vanished without a trace.

Instant kill, indeed.

-No way…….

-Liza……!

-What is this……? Unbelievable.

That wasn’t all.

PZZZT- PZZZT-

A 10-meter radius was being scorched by electrical waves.

Trolls who had survived by staying outside the range blinked blankly, then recoiled in horror as they came into contact with the electrical waves.

[You have defeated a troll of the Azure Forest.]

…….

[A troll of the Azure Forest takes damage from the electrical waves.]

This was the broken [overpowered] aspect of Descent of the Thunder Dragon.

Simply activating the skill not only deals wide-area damage but also creates a zone that inflicts continuous damage by spreading electrical waves across the affected area.

‘Even if the damage isn’t fatal, it’s still annoying.’

And more than anything, it looks incredibly cool!

Do-hyun was genuinely moved.

The moment the Thunder Dragon descended from the sky and entered Do-hyun, he felt a tingling sensation and extreme lightness.

And the wide-area damage that unfolded!

‘Damn……. The romance is insane [This is an expression of excitement and awe, not literal romance].’

Honestly, every time he met the Thunder Emperor, he couldn’t help but think he was cool.

And that hasn’t changed even now. Of course.

Because Do-hyun’s Descent of the Thunder Dragon was still weak compared to the Thunder Emperor’s.

No matter how strong Do-hyun was for his level, he was nothing compared to the Thunder Emperor, who had completed his final growth.

‘The Thunder Emperor’s Descent of the Thunder Dragon was pure thrill itself.’

Flashing here and there.

Seeing him dyed blue from head to toe and covered in electricity, you can’t help but think the title of Thunder Emperor suits him so well.

The crackling sound could be heard from far away, which says it all.

When the Thunder Emperor’s Descent of the Thunder Dragon descended, the wide-area damage was beyond imagination, making it useful as a damage dealer in boss battles.

‘Still, it one-shots trolls.’

Normally, you wouldn’t expect much from wide-area damage when using it at this level.

He’d have to experiment in a trial to see if it works on bosses, but it seems quite useful at this level.

‘That’s enough.’

No, it’s more than enough.

PZZZT- PZZZT-

The true value of Descent of the Thunder Dragon isn’t in the wide-area damage.

The electricity flowing from Do-hyun’s body sparked, and a unique sound echoed. Jihad’s eyes sparkled.

-Master……. What is that form?

“Why, is it cool?”

-Totally! Can’t I do that? Can’t I wrap myself in darkness like that?

“There’s no way. That would be cheating.”

-Ah…….

Do-hyun chuckled, leaving behind the disappointed Jihad, and examined his body.

[The power of the Thunder Dragon dwells within your body, increasing all speeds for 100 seconds.]

[The power of lightning dwells within you, granting a very low chance to inflict ‘Electrocution’ damage upon impact.]

[You can use ‘Thunderbolt Shift’ twice within the duration.]

As the message said, Do-hyun’s body was filled with the power of lightning.

Even without much movement, he could feel his body was noticeably lighter, and the sparks flying around stimulated romance [excitement].

Turning on customization, he confirmed that even if his whole body wasn’t blue, his hair had a faint blue tint.

Somewhere between white and blue, like the color of lightning.

‘It’s definitely a shame compared to the Thunder Emperor.’

Well, it would be funny to compare himself to the overwhelming number one in the martial arts category.

Come to think of it, he wondered what job that guy was doing now. He hadn’t seen anyone who seemed to be the Thunder Emperor among those who handled Descent of the Thunder Dragon…….

‘Well, that’s not important now.’

He was using a legendary skill for the first time, so why would he care about that guy’s whereabouts?

He intended to fully enjoy this moment.

PZZZT.

One step.

As he stepped forward, electricity sparked.

PZZZT-!

And as he kicked off the ground strongly, Do-hyun became a streak of lightning.

[You have used Thunderbolt Shift.]

Kuh?

The moment the troll opened its mouth at the blue something that flashed and suddenly approached, Do-hyun brushed past it.

PUHWAK-! SIZZLE, THUD!

Then, the sound of skin being cut and stabbed was heard, and blood spurted out half a beat later.

[You have defeated a troll of the Azure Forest.]

[You have acquired high-quality troll hide.]

Do-hyun didn’t stop there and immediately rushed towards the trolls next to him.

A distance of about 14 meters diagonally. There was no need to use Thunderbolt Shift.

‘Light [Swift].’

The speed increased by Descent of the Thunder Dragon was covering everything.

PZZZT, PZZZT.

Kuh! Kuh-uh-uh-uh!

He moved in an instant and took down one.

And then he slid and dashed to the side to take down another.

Every time the sound of PZZZT echoed, death throes rang out from everywhere. Charlie couldn’t help but applaud at the sight of him traversing the forest with unmatched agility.

Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap!

Jihad asked, dumbfounded, at Charlie’s enthusiastic seal-like clapping.

-What are you doing? What are you doing right now?

-How can I stand still when I see this near-divine movement? Don’t you have any thoughts at all!

-……Uh, cool? I want that hair too?

-You’re bald!

-What did you say, you little punk? I’m not bald, I have all this hair! Right, Eliza?

-Li, Liza……. Liza……!

The three of them (?) suddenly started bickering.

As if adding harmony to their voices, the sound of PZZZT stacked up beautifully, and each time, the trolls of the forest died.

In the forest that had become a stage, Do-hyun was happily slicing trolls with a smile that never left his face.

‘Wow, the legendary form is insane……!’

Constantly marveling at the legendary experience he was having for the first time.

The emotion of experiencing his first legendary skill wouldn’t disappear overnight, and it is said that Do-hyun repeated this process for several days.

* * *

-What’s Kaiser up to these days?

When you’re holed up in the God of Seven community, chatting away, Kaiser’s name often comes up.

Not always, but usually when Kaiser has done something or when he hasn’t been mentioned for a while…….

In this case, it was the latter.

-Yeah, what’s he doing? It’s already been 5 days since he entered Fratel, right?

-Wow, it feels like just yesterday, but it’s already been that long? Anyone in Fratel, say something.

It had already been 5 days since he entered Fratel, but they were curious because no news had been heard.

In the past, he would have done something by now.

So users in Fratel started chatting one after another.

-He’s just been hunting all day long. His speed is insane.

-For real, it’s creepy how he’s smiling and beating up trolls. And why is the Undead Legion so strong?

└Undead Legion? The one the little guy with the robe uses?

└Yeah, but something’s weird. He’s been taking around outlaws? I think he even took the King with him, but maybe it’s just my imagination?

└?? How can he take him around? Are you mistaken?

└No, I saw it too. He was banging on the mobs while clicking and clacking.

└????

It was full of incomprehensible language.

But there were more than a few people who had witnessed it for 5 days, so they kept adding replies to support it.

This wasn’t the end. The real deal was still left.

-I heard Kaiser got a legendary skill?

-Huh? Suddenly?

-There’s a rumor that he’s been using Descent of the Thunder Dragon. But it seems right. When you’re hunting, you keep hearing a PZZZT sound and seeing something flashing in the distance.

A story about a legendary skill!

In God of Seven, where everything is made up of grades, legends were rare in every field, but especially skills.

Because there are only a few for each job, they are the most precious and noticeable because they are skills.

-Descent of the Thunder Dragon? That’s a martial artist skill.

-No, what’s Kaiser’s job ㅋㅋㅋㅋ I thought he was a swordsman? He’s not just a weapon master.

└For real, is he an all-master? It doesn’t make sense.

└? Don’t you know his job? He’s a god.

└Oh, that’s right. As expected, Kaiser is a god…….

-Cheonma must be in pain again ㅋㅋㅋㅋ He always makes a face like he’s eating shit whenever the Descent of the Thunder Dragon is mentioned.

└ㅋㅋㅋㅋWhy is he like that? I think the legendary skill he has is stronger.

Of course, attention was bound to be focused, and all sorts of stories poured out.

-But why a legend? Doesn’t Kaiser usually have a legendary skill?

-That madman was carrying a legendary skill from the start. Doesn’t he have three already?

└Well……. Let’s leave him out of this. How can that be possible in 6 months? He didn’t even pay much, his luck is just 넘사 [beyond reach/unachievable].

└They say you can pray to him. He’s really crazy.

-Come to think of it, hasn’t PK [Player Killing] increased too much lately? I heard a group is planning to massacre, why do I suspect that crazy guy?

The chat window was filled with a flood of stories, but soon it was directly connected to one topic.

-What? Kaiser has a legendary skill? Wow……. This is a truly monumental moment.

└For real……. Our shit sommelier [someone who always gets the worst luck] is finally getting a legend.

└?? What are you talking about?

└I can tell you don’t know Kaiser from the Dem Locke days. These days, kids are no good ㅉㅉ [tsk tsk – an expression of disappointment].

└No, so what is it?

The fans who knew Kaiser from the Dem Locke days were touched and immersed in emotion.

It was an incomprehensible situation for those who first encountered Kaiser in God of Seven.

Unable to bear the frustration, a hardcore user posted a post.

The content of the post titled [Kaiser had no legendary skills in the Dem Locke days.] was not very long.

It was just that he was the only top-ranked player in the Dem Locke days who didn’t have a legendary skill, and he was the shit sommelier who collected the most diverse bricks [bad luck].

But the impact was certain.

-Crazy, so he was number 1 without a legendary skill?

-Wow, is this a god? Seriously crazy.

└But how can he not have a single legendary skill ㅋㅋㅋㅋ He must have played for 3 years, does that make sense?

└Ah, even gods are helpless in front of gacha [loot box/random chance system]…….

└I saw a post in the gacha gallery saying that Kaiser always appears in the Kaiser hotspot, was that true ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

└Suddenly Kaiser feels a bit more approachable. He was the same person as us.

└Uh-oh! That’s blasphemy! Do you want to be targeted by the Kaiser Church!

└Ah, ah…….

That’s how ridiculous it was.

In other words, wasn’t that saying that he maintained the number 1 spot among fierce rankers like Myeolsal without a legendary skill?

That was truly an insane talent.

-Wow, he was number 1 without a legendary skill, so how strong will he be now that he’s got a legendary skill?

-For real, he’s going to destroy everything. Fratel will be number 1!

-He’s a latecomer anyway. It’s not just a year late, it’s a year and a half, how can he ㅋㅋㅋㅋ He hasn’t even stepped on the Empire yet.

└For real, is he being deified? It seems like they’re expecting too much. Guys, if your expectations are high, your disappointment will be great.

-How can he take number 1 in Fratel ㅋㅋㅋ What number 1, he won’t even be in the top 10.

└Isn’t that a bit much? He showed us by winning 1st place 3 times in a row.

└Fratel is different. Don’t you know if you can’t write to Myeolsal, Empress, and Arthur? It’s not a graduation quest for combat jobs in the first place.

└True. Honestly, that’s right~

So, some were expecting, and others were laughing with negative words.

It was when conflicting stories were going back and forth, burning the community.

-Oh? Hey, Kaiser’s here.

-Where?

-He came into the city after 5 days. Oh? He’s going straight? He seems to be going to the castle?

-……? Huh? He’s already level 57?

-No, there are no quests until you enter the castle. Usually, it takes at least 3 weeks, how is he level 57 in 5 days?

The center of the topic made an appearance.

At an unbelievable speed.

Disbelief rose involuntarily at the news that was hard to believe, but soon they had no choice but to believe it.

-Jackpot, Kaiser went to meet the king!
