The Return Of The Genius Ranker Of All Times [EN]: Chapter 209

209.

Watching them, Do-hyun soon closed the window.

‘It’s not time to use these yet.’

It wasn’t for the reason that the main dish should be eaten last.

It literally wasn’t time to use them yet.

‘They’re weak.’

It was enough without using things like that.

Even though the number was approaching a hundred, it seemed there were no elite combatants.

In this situation, it wasn’t good to reveal all your strength. They would prepare countermeasures against it. In martial arts, they say you should always hide 20% of your power.

And besides those, there were still plenty of things to try out.

[Perfect Parry Successful.]

[Completely Deflects the Attack.]

“Huh?”

While wielding a Furious Strike, he deflected a surprise attack with a parry, and then continued with the Furious Strike.

Still, being a combatant of the Hero Guild, he managed to twist his sword to block it, but that was a bad move.

Blocking a Furious Strike at maximum stacks head-on was suicidal.

Especially now that he was decked out in +12 gear.

Kwaang!

Kkigigigik-

“Crazy……!”

The man, who was pushed back as if hit by a truck, spat out curses.

The sword he blocked with and his hand trembled like aspen leaves.

The distance he was pushed back in an instant was over 4 meters. And Do-hyun closed that distance in one step. Thanks to the maximum stack effect of Furious Strike, that distance was enough with one step.

Kwaang-! Ppeoeok!

[Receives Extreme Damage.]

[Health drops below 20%.]

[Knocked Back by the Power of Furious Strike.]

[Receives Extreme Damage.]

“He, help me……!”

When pushed back, he would rush back and strike again.

Each time he was hit, his whole body trembled without the strength to counterattack, and he was pushed back.

As his health was shaved off like crazy and he heard the red warning sounds with each repetition, the man urgently requested help.

[Guild Member ‘Brian’ has been killed by Player ‘Kaiser’.]

But no one could readily help, and in the end, he met his death in an instant.

Taat!

“Hwik!”

Watching Do-hyun leap towards another target, the guild members swallowed hard.

‘What the hell is that damage?’

‘Is that really level 71……?’

What was that absurd damage that was fatal if you just grazed it?

No, if only that scythe was powerful, it would be understandable.

From swords to daggers, spears, and even shields.

It transformed into all sorts of weapons, and each weapon that changed had a shimmering purple light, and the damage was abnormally powerful, though not as much as the scythe.

[Due to the Aura of Nightmare, you are afflicted with the status condition ‘Curse’.]

[Due to the Aura of Nightmare, you are afflicted with the status condition ‘Exhaustion’.]

[Due to the Aura of Nightmare, you are afflicted with the status condition ‘Powerlessness’.]

…….

[Due to the Aura of Nightmare, you are afflicted with the status condition ‘Blindness’.]

[Exposed to Icy Currents, your body slows down.]

‘Is damage the problem now? How do I get rid of this damn blindness!’

‘Isn’t the CC [crowd control, referring to abilities that impair enemy actions] excessive?’

‘Why are so many status conditions triggering? Is he hacking?’

And that wasn’t all.

Even though he wasn’t hit by any special skills, status conditions were constantly triggering.

They were already behind in specs and control, but their vision was darkened by all sorts of CC, and their bodies were slowed down, making it a sight to behold.

That guy moved 4 meters with each swing, but even if they retreated several steps, they couldn’t exceed 2 meters.

Pyupyuk- Pyuk-

-Lizariza!

At times like that, Eliza’s spiderwebs flew in like ghosts, further restricting their movements.

Geueo- Geueo-

Tak- Ttadak-

And then came the pain and the Undead.

There was a reason why they were tied up; it wasn’t for nothing.

While they were tied up by the Undead and Guardians, Do-hyun roamed around, spreading CC and finishing them off with Furious Strike.

“Prie, Priests! Quickly remove the curse!”

“Heal! No, give me a barrier, quick!”

“What are the priests doing! Why aren’t the buffs coming in!?”

But the real spectacle was something else entirely.

In fact, when facing an enemy covered in such CC, the solution was surprisingly simple.

You just needed to put a priest on the team.

Having a priest with many helpful skills such as Cure, various buffs, heals, and barriers made it much easier.

There were more than ten such priests here right now.

……Yes, there were. Until a little while ago.

Seogeok-

“……Seogeok?”

“Crazy, the heal got cut off? Is that even possible?”

“My, my Cure got cut off too.”

“My Striking too!”

Whether it was a heal, a buff, or a cure.

The moment it was activated, Do-hyun rushed in like a ghost with Furious Strike and cut off the skill.

Literally cut it off.

[The Terrible Nightmare Scythe senses Divine Power.]

[Divine Destroyer is activated.]

[Divides and destroys Divine Power lower than the wearer’s Mana.]

‘Oh, it works like this. Nice?’

It was a special effect of Luidra’s Scythe.

It was an option Do-hyun was seeing for the first time, and it was also the first time he had actually used it, so he couldn’t hide his excitement.

He wondered if it would be possible because of the condition that their mana had to be lower than his, but it seemed those guys didn’t have that much mana.

‘Lucky me.’

But Do-hyun didn’t know.

He was always short on mana because he was using all the mana-consuming skills that other classes could barely use one of.

The stats from Latent Dragon and the mana circuit of the Archmage.

Not to mention the titles and equipment enhancements that made his mana so abundant.

‘They said that bastard has mana problems. Let’s hold out. If we hold out, it’ll be okay.’

‘……Until when? Haven’t we held out enough?’

‘No, didn’t they say his mana was low? There’s no sign of his mana running out?’

‘Clearly, he didn’t have this kind of spec in the Fratell video…….’

Even now, he wasn’t using Dragon Descent, only Furious Strike and Icy Currents.

The rate of recovery was faster than the rate of mana consumption.

Originally, it wasn’t like this, but thanks to the Archmage’s mana circuit shining brightly.

Only the guild members who didn’t know that were endlessly holding out.

Still, it wasn’t a completely meaningless act.

Cheok, cheok. Cheocheok.

Uuung-

“Let’s focus on ranged attacks, everyone protect the ranged dealers as much as possible.”

“Divine power disappears when you get cut by that scythe! Priests only care for the ranged dealers, and the melee fighters don’t engage for too long!”

“Don’t get close to Kaiser! Once you get slowed down, you can’t get out!”

After changing their method to holding out, they chose a strategy of restraining Kaiser instead of killing him.

If a head-on fight doesn’t work?

Then they could just take him down from a distance.

“Yeah, that’s how you should come out.”

“……What?”

“Try if you can, go ahead.”

……That’s what he thought.

Until Do-hyun smiled and reached out his hand, and lightning fell from the sky.

It was a dragon.

[Uses Lightning Dragon Descent.]

A giant blue dragon made of lightning.

—-!!!

“Crazy, avoi……!”

The moment the dragon tore through the sky and flashed, it fell above Do-hyun’s head, covering a radius of 20 meters.

The Lightning Dragon fell without giving them a chance to avoid it.

Those within the range were paralyzed with tremendous damage, and the users outside the range blankly stared at the scene.

Pajijik-

To be exact, they were looking at Do-hyun standing proudly on top of it.

The atmosphere was clearly different from before.

The currents covering his whitened hair and body crackled and sparked.

Paat-!

And soon his figure disappeared.

He became a streak of lightning and drew a horizon, and before they knew it, one of the ranged dealers was hit.

It was Lightning Teleportation. A speed that was hard for ranged dealers to even react to.

Even if they reacted late, Do-hyun, who had disappeared again, was hitting the ranged dealer on the opposite side.

“Da, damn it. Don’t scatter, gather again!”

“It’s even more dangerous if we scatter!”

It was a strange sight.

The one who jumped in alone was rampaging through the battlefield, and the hundred people in the main camp were struggling.

-Crazy…….

-He’s really fighting the guild alone.

-There’s a user who charged into the enemy’s main camp and is wreaking havoc? Ppuyungppayungppuyung

-Isn’t this the first time since the Empress that someone has shown this kind of scene?

-Kiya……. So refreshing.

-Lightning Dragon Descent is so cool……. I came for real.

-Wow, I suddenly want to become a martial artist.

-No, but what is Kaiser’s job really? It’s amazing every time I see it.

-Scythe and Lightning Dragon Descent mode? Oh, I can’t stand this.

-The Heavenly Demon will cry if he sees this lololol [laughing out loud]

The viewers poured out their chat as if exhaling the breath they had been holding in at this amazing scene that had been reversed.

Among them, there were those who were interested in Do-hyun’s Lightning Dragon Descent, and there were those who were interested in the Guardians.

-The Undead Legion is so cute lol [laughing out loud] They’re grabbing his ankles and not letting go.

-……He’s stabbing a dagger into his ankle, and that’s cute?

-1 vs 30? He could do it with one hand. Is it right to say he’s wreaking havoc in a 1 vs 100?

-Kaiser, is he a god? Kaiser, is he a god? Kaiser, is he a god?

-Honestly, it’s ambiguous to say he’s alone because the Guardians are strong. Each one is at the level of a divine beast. Isn’t it too much to treat the leader of the Outlaws as Undead lol [laughing out loud]

-That’s also Kaiser’s Guardian, so it’s Kaiser’s ability, so it’s right to say he’s alone. Don’t be unfair ㄴㄴ [Korean slang for no no] We don’t say that Tamer or Necromancer aren’t soloing.

Whatever it was, it was hard to even read the chat because it was going up so frantically.

He could only roughly grasp that most of them were admiring him.

And for good reason.

[Number of Viewers: 49.51 million]

‘……Huh? 49 million? 49 million, you say?’

The number of viewers was already approaching 50 million.

NewTube live viewers exceeding 50 million was something you would only see in a solo raid boss try by the top 10 guilds.

Not to mention that this many views came from a channel with just over 10 million subscribers?

It was truly impossible.

[Number of Viewers: 49.94 million]

Even the number of viewers showed no sign of stopping and was rising in real time.

Many viewers were coming over by word of mouth.

Considering that it hadn’t been long since they had properly started fighting, it was a tremendous rise.

‘Hey, 50 million people are watching us. Do well.’

‘……What?’

‘Liza?’

When he told them this news, Jihad and Eliza’s expressions changed.

Trying to look solemn and acting like a final boss with force.

-Foolish humans……. I will give pain to you ignorant ones…….

-Li…… za……. Liza…….

Jihad, who had taken on a serious demeanor, crossed his arms and scattered black mana, slowly walking from behind, and Eliza followed Jihad, trying to maintain a serious demeanor.

‘Master, trust us. We will fulfill our mission admirably.’

Do-hyun chuckled as he watched Charlie, who was unwavering in his loyalty, unlike those guys.

Do-hyun could see it.

Though they pretended not to, their usual solemnity had increased, and their exaggerated swordplay had become somewhat over-the-top.

It was extremely flashy.

‘Who did those guys take after to be such attention seekers?’

Well, thanks to them, morale had increased, so it was all good.

The guild members were feeling dizzy from the increasingly tense rampage of Do-hyun’s group.

“When are the Vice Master and executives coming! No contact!?”

“I, I don’t know! It was definitely working until just now, but contact has been cut off.”

“Damn it, what’s going on!”

To make matters worse, the Vice Master and executives who had said they would come to support had suddenly lost contact.

Considering that they should have been here a long time ago, it was strange.

No matter how much they sent whispers or tried to contact them through communication orbs, they couldn’t even connect.

‘We have to fight that monster without executives?’

‘……Can we do it?’

‘What about the Master? When is the Master coming…….’

In a situation where they were about to go crazy, they closed their eyes tightly.

The moment their morale was broken and they fell into despair.

Jeobeokjeobeok.

Teobeok. Teobeokteobeok.

Countless footsteps were heard.

And the sound that stopped at some point soon became a single footstep.

Jeobeok, jeobeok.

The man who came out leading the way alone.

The users who had been disheartened raised their heads one by one at the sight of the man who appeared, sweeping back his blue hair with one hand.

At the same time, a voice filled with anger was heard.

“You’ve done well, Kaiser.”

The guild members, who had brightened up at the appearance of the one they had been waiting for so long, shouted.

“Master!”

“Ah…….”

The master of the Hero Guild and the owner of this guild castle.

It was the appearance of Verze.
