The Return Of The Genius Ranker Of All Times [EN]: Chapter 19

Part 19.

Unbelievable.

No other word could better express Doyun’s current mood.

‘What is this? The quest I’ve been searching for so desperately for three months just pops up like this?’

He was even about to leave to refresh the area, but instead, the quest item dropped right at his feet, blocking his path.

It was practically being spoon-fed to him.

Should he consider this situation—where something refuses to appear when he wants it but rolls in on its own when he doesn’t—as good luck or bad?

‘Isn’t this awesome?’

For Doyun, it was definitely the former.

He was seriously considering whether he should adopt the mindset of rejecting what he wants, even if he has to force himself.

It wasn’t just any quest, but a sudden quest.

What is a sudden quest?

A quest that doesn’t significantly impact you if you don’t complete it, but is generally good for you to complete.

As the name suggests, sudden quests often occur in urgent situations and usually appear at important branching points in the story.

‘A sudden quest appeared when I picked up the necklace…….’

In such cases, it was one of two things.

Either the quest item itself triggered the sudden quest, or someone who needed to give the quest was in a hurry and gave it to stop him.

Either way, it was a situation where he had to complete it, so Doyun summoned Thousand Transformations without hesitation.

[+15 Thousand Transformations is transformed into the ‘White Lion’s Snowflake Sword’.]

“Wow, Kaiser is stepping up.”

“Crazy.”

“Amazing, I’ve only seen it in videos, but I’m finally seeing it live?”

“But it’s 3 against 1, is this okay?”

“He’s Kaiser, he can handle it.”

“Don’t you guys know them? They’re from District 4 of the Ellanis Outlaw Zone.”

“……Those guys?”

The atmosphere of the users, who had been watching with excitement, turned serious at one man’s words.

Doyun was also surprised.

‘What, were they really villains?’

Was physiognomy really science? [Physiognomy is the assessment of a person’s character or personality from their outer appearance.]

He wondered how they could look so blatantly like villains, and it turned out they were quite famous ones.

‘Outlaw Zone…….’

A place where criminals who committed serious crimes in the Empire and settled in the New Continent gathered, especially those who committed crimes punishable by extreme penalties or had a similar level of danger.

‘Of course, that only applies to Districts 1-3, and District 4 is a different story.’

All District 4s in the Outlaw Zones were places for those who weren’t strong enough to throw their weight around, and yet couldn’t fit in with others due to the crimes they committed.

In their language, it was a place for low-lives who didn’t meet the standards.

But even so, the Outlaw Zone was like a sanctuary for criminals.

You couldn’t ignore them, even if they were just low-level members.

That was the position and weight the Outlaw Zone held in the New Continent.

“I know those guys. The Beykan Brothers.”

“The Beykan Brothers? They’re famous newbie killers in Ellanis.”

“There’s a truckload of stories about people who crossed over to the New Continent, wandered around without knowing anything, and got sliced up by those guys.”

“Wow…… we were on the same ship as those guys?”

“We could have been the ones getting hurt?”

Moreover, those guys seemed to be quite famous.

Especially for those who had just entered the New Continent, they were no different from mass murderers, so users couldn’t help but express their concern.

“Hehehe…… who do we have here? Isn’t that the hottest Kaiser these days?”

“Wow, we were just trying to mess with some random guy, but we’ve run into a big shot here.”

“If we do well, we might make a name for ourselves?”

“If we catch that guy, we might be able to go to District 3.”

“The onlookers are annoying, should we just wipe them all out? Don’t they give us some credit for the headcount?”

The moment he licked his lips while spitting out those chilling words, the onlookers hesitated and stepped back.

-How dare you! Who do you think you’re talking to with that filthy mouth! Master, leave it to this humble sword. I will cut off the heads of those bacon-like fellows in one stroke.

-Ugh! We were winning, why are you interrupting? Let’s join in too. Eliza.

-Lizariza!

Charlie, Jihad, and Eliza, who had rushed over upon hearing the commotion, stood in front of Doyun, revealing their killing intent.

At that, the users’ expressions brightened.

“Charlie!”

“That’s right, he had Guardians.”

“Awesome, this is doable.”

“I saw the video, their Guardian level is no joke.”

“At least they’re stronger than me.”

The thought that it would be doable if the famous Kaiser’s Guardians joined in crossed their minds.

No matter how much they were active in the New Continent, they were still just three people.

Especially when they recalled the Necromancer’s army and Charlie’s combat power from yesterday’s video, they couldn’t help but feel reassured.

“……Isn’t this dangerous?”

“Don’t be scared. They’re just guys who haven’t even set foot on the New Continent yet.”

“Yeah. If we ignore the army and just take down Kaiser, we’ll be fine.”

The villains, who had been full of vigor, were now wary.

In the tense atmosphere.

Doyun broke the balance.

-……Master?

-Liza?

He suddenly pushed the Guardians back and stepped forward.

“You guys don’t need to step in.”

Ignoring their questioning looks, Doyun met the villains’ eyes and smirked as if they were pathetic.

“Three minutes will be enough for those guys.”

Perhaps they felt the confidence in Doyun’s voice.

-……Yes, Master.

-If Master says so.

-Lizariza.

The Guardians, who had been glaring as if they would tear the enemies apart, turned into gentle lambs and stepped back as if nothing had happened.

They didn’t seem to have any worries or doubts about him.

They naturally believed in Kaiser’s victory.

“This son of a……!”

“How dare you ignore us?”

“You’re dead.”

“We’ll make you beg for your life.”

As if a trigger had been pulled.

The Beykan Brothers, who were furious, drew their weapons and immediately kicked off the ground.

The three of them jumped in simultaneously.

‘Then, let’s see…….’

Doyun took a stance, looking at the guys who had no sense of fairness.

‘Let’s see how different the New Continent guys are.’

On Doyun’s face was not tension, but a mischievous smile.

* * *

Wasn’t it too reckless?

That was what the users thought when the battle first started.

‘Why is he trying to fight alone when he has Guardians?’

‘Isn’t he being too arrogant?’

‘The New Continent guys from 3 months ago are different from the New Continent guys now!’

‘Damn…… I’m suddenly getting anxious.’

No matter how much he was Kaiser, he was still a newbie who hadn’t even set foot on the New Continent like them.

Wouldn’t it be too much to face the Beykan Brothers, who were making a name for themselves in the New Continent, in a 3-on-1 fight?

They couldn’t help but think that.

Clang- Clang!

Clang-!

‘Crazy…….’

‘Am I seeing this right?’

‘No, how can someone’s control be like that?’

But that thought disappeared like smoke as soon as the battle began.

That’s because…….

“Damn it, why can’t I hit him!”

“Do it properly. There’s an opening on the side.”

“Bull, if you can hit him, then hit…… Cough!”

“Ugh! S, stop……!”

The overwhelming battle made their worries pale in comparison.

No, the word ‘battle’ didn’t even apply.

This was……

‘……This is too one-sided!’

Was this what a fight between a child and an adult would be like?

Just as three kindergarteners wouldn’t pose a threat to an adult male.

No matter how much the Beykan Brothers struggled and rampaged, their attacks never reached Kaiser.

[Parrying successful.]

[Deflects the attack.]

“Damn it!!”

Because they were all blocked by parrying.

Dodge like flowing water, and deflect angles that couldn’t be dodged.

And each time, a counterattack landed like clockwork.

[Player ‘Rad Beykan’ uses trait (Transcendence) ‘Iron Fist’.]

[Player ‘Guard Beykan’ uses trait (Transcendence) ‘Dividing Earth’.]

…….

[Uses Hero Skill, ‘Exploding Slash’.]

The scariest thing was.

Unlike them, who were using everything from Transcendence traits to skills, and even item effects, Kaiser wasn’t using any skills other than parrying and the Byran Swordsmanship.

He was overwhelming them with pure skill.

‘This is…… he’s completely toying with them?’

‘The level is different.’

‘This is Kaiser…….’

‘Wow…… can a battle be this amazing?’

‘There’s a reason why he’s called the God of Combat.’

Those who witnessed this battle that day would often evaluate it like this.

They had seen the end of talent.

* * *

[Player ‘Rad Beykan’ has been killed.]

[Player ‘Guard Beykan’ has been killed.]

[Player ‘Mad Beykan’ has been killed.]

[Player ‘Rad Beykan’ has been identified as an ‘Evildoer’. Karma will not increase as it is recognized as self-defense.]

…….

[Swordsmanship proficiency has increased.]

[Swordsmanship proficiency has reached LV53.]

‘Oh?’

Doyun was slightly impressed by the message that appeared after dealing with the Beykan Brothers.

Was it because he only used swordsmanship to fight them?

The level of swordsmanship proficiency, which hadn’t been increasing, had risen.

Of course, it had risen because of the proficiency he had accumulated, but he was happy because it was an unexpected reward.

But that joy was only temporary.

‘Ugh, only trash dropped.’

Doyun clicked his tongue after looting the items that the Beykan Brothers dropped.

They had all dropped junk items.

Attacking a weaker opponent first increases the chance of dropping equipment.

Seeing that he had broken through such an extreme probability, it seemed that he had used up his looting luck on the fortune of obtaining this sudden quest.

Well, he didn’t expect much in the first place, so he wasn’t too affected.

‘But to think that guys like these were mass murdering in the New Continent.’

He was more interested in their level than that.

To be honest, it’s not that they were hopelessly weak.

Even though their skills were somewhat poor, when looking at their attack power, defense power, and attack speed comprehensively, they were definitely on a different level from the users in the Empire.

‘Their skills are also…… well, to be honest, they weren’t too bad if you thought of them as mass murderers.’

Above all, the three of them worked well together.

It seemed to be because they were actual brothers, which was a considerable advantage in PVP [Player versus Player combat].

But that was it.

In the end, such tricks don’t work when you meet a real expert.

He was disappointed in many ways, but it was still helpful.

‘I was curious because they said the current New Continent is on a different level from the mainland…… if it’s this level, it’s okay to go a little harder.’

Their position was exactly at the stage of breaking away from being a New Continent newbie.

If he went all out, he could probably handle guys who were two or three levels above them.

If the Guardians joined in, he could try even more than that.

‘They were good combat power measuring tools.’

Not only that.

[Sudden Quest ‘Save the Girl’ has been cleared.]

[You have acquired ‘Ellain’s Necklace’ as a reward.]

Doyun could only smile at the sacrifice of the generous trees who had become good quest providers.

Now that the urgent matter was resolved.

The moment he looked around to talk to the girl.

“……?”

Doyun paused.
