The Return Of The Genius Ranker Of All Times [EN]: Chapter 297

297.

“He’s my master, but he’s truly amazing. He caught those disgusting guys just to draw a card?”

-Rizariza…….

“I’m always impressed by my lord’s firm will.”

“Actually, you caught them all, didn’t you?”

“……”

Was it because the memory from before came to mind?

Charlie’s expression suddenly stiffened, and he opened and closed his mouth before shutting it.

There was no point in saying more; it would only bring back bad memories.

The Guardians were showing their weariness in their own ways, but Dohyun didn’t care.

To be precise, he didn’t have time to.

‘Ah… this radiant appearance.’

Because the three card packs were just too beautiful.

To take your eyes off the draw when you have three draw tickets right in front of you?

That’s an insult to the sacred draw.

Something that couldn’t happen as an honorary member of the Draw Gallery.

‘I can’t do that.’

As Dohyun, who was more sincere about card draws than anyone else, couldn’t even imagine it.

Dohyun, staring at the card packs with eyes full of unwavering determination like a still sea, reached out his hand.

[Would you like to use the random skill draw ticket for the Guardian ‘Charlie’?]

He had thought about it a lot, but Dohyun was the type to eat the egg in his cold noodles last [a Korean dish, where the best part is often saved for last].

As expected, it was right to use the Guardians’ first.

-My lord?

He felt sorry for Charlie, who had suffered a lot, but there was no helping it.

Due to the Knight’s job characteristics, there was a lower probability of getting a dud than that Jihad guy. It was good to start with a safe bet to have a good flow later.

‘Thank you always, Charlie.’

I will not forget your sacrifice… no, your loyalty.

Leaving Charlie, who was being recognized for his loyalty without even knowing why, the moment he tore the card pack.

Flash-!

Splendid lights colored his vision.

And seven cards floated above it.

[The Eye of Truth is activated.]

Dohyun widened his eyes and focused as he began to see the colors on the back.

‘Did it hit? Did it hit?’

The color of the cards examined from the left was dung-colored.

Two dung-colored, three silver, and one yellow.

And…….

“Woahhhh!! Waaah!!!! Waaahhhh!!”

The moment he saw the last card, Dohyun couldn’t help but scream.

A body jumping up and down beyond admiration. Eyes sparkling with excitement. Eyes and hands trembling.

-His, his nostrils are flaring up!?

-Ooh!

-Ri, Riza!

All of these were saying.

That something amazing had come out.

And the Guardians’ predictions were spot on.

‘Go, gold!’

The color emanating from the last card was a brilliant gold.

In other words, it was a legendary skill card.

Charlie’s skill card, which he thought was a safe bet, had hit the jackpot.

‘What legendary knight skills were there?’

He wasn’t very interested in the knight class, but things changed when it came to legendary skills.

Legendary skills were always the object of Dohyun’s envy, and he envied them, checking all the legendary skills from time to time as if they were unattainable.

He could think of at least five legendary knight skills right away.

From the knight’s only legendary wide-area skill, Royal Smash, which was used by the Forgotten King’s rotten body, to various fraudulent buff and defense skills.

‘Since I have a wide-area skill, a buff or defense skill would be more useful than Royal Smash.’

There are many buff skills that increase defense, but considering that there are no reliable defense skills, the latter would be better.

No, in fact, there was no point in distinguishing these.

It’s legendary, so everything is good, there’s nothing bad!

‘Here I go!’

The moment he vigorously drew the card.

Flash-!

A brilliant golden light burst out, and soon a cheerful notification appeared along with a message.

[Acquired the legendary skill, ‘Last Knight.’]

“Huh?”

At the same time, a somewhat dumb sound popped out of Dohyun’s mouth.

It couldn’t be helped.

‘This came out?’

Last Knight was a skill that was not included in the five that Dohyun had thought of.

It wasn’t because its performance or treatment was bad.

Rather, it was on the good side even among the legendary skills.

[Last Knight]

-Grade: Legendary

-Restriction: Knight Class

-Description: It is the fate of a knight to protect someone.

I will answer the noble will of the knight who has lost that fate and is trying to stand up again.

-Effect: Can be activated when left alone, and gains strong will and power. The effect is applied in proportion to what the caster has lost to protect.

Conversely, if there is someone to protect, all effects related to protecting the target are amplified by 60%, and all stats increase by 6% until the target dies.

‘A skill that amplifies the effect of protecting the dealer and makes the user stronger.’

There were not many skills that created better synergy when with a powerful dealer.

The fact that it is activated until the target dies was especially fraudulent [meaning exceptionally good or advantageous].

‘If the dealer is good, it’s no different from a constantly active buff.’

Especially Covenants or Armor of Protection, etc.

It was perfect for Charlie, who had quite a few buff skills on the protecting side.

Considering that this effect is a side effect, it already smells like fraud, but the reality was somewhat ambiguous.

‘The first effect is a bit disappointing.’

The condition that it can only be activated when left alone, befitting the name Last Knight.

Considering that it is a skill usually used by knights with a skill set on the side of protecting a strong dealer to maximize the second effect, it was an ambiguous condition.

By the time it was activated, it was safe to say that the game was over.

‘The problem is that the effects applied even when activated are different each time.’

The effect gained when activated according to the ambiguous text of strong will and power was different each time.

This was because it depended on the situation the caster was in, and up to this point, it could be seen favorably as a novel concept.

However, the problem was that the performance of the effect was different each time.

‘It is even said that it is applied differently even when the same caster activates it.’

So much so that there was even talk of it being a random gacha skill [a gambling-like mechanic in games].

Still, it was better to have it than not, but it was true that it was disappointing considering it was a legendary skill.

-Last Knight… Thank you, my lord. It’s a good skill.

“……Really?”

-Yes, I will repay this favor with loyalty by your side for the rest of my life.

Unlike Dohyun, Charlie seemed very satisfied.

Even the corners of his eyes were red, which even looked somewhat touching.

‘Well, it’s good if he likes it.’

As mentioned earlier, it’s not a bad skill since it’s legendary.

-Kiya~ Congratulations, Charlie.

-Rizariza!

-Hmm! Thank you. You may be able to get something good too.

-Re, really? Can I look forward to it a little?

Dohyun’s eyes, who was watching their conversation with a happy expression, changed in an instant.

Jihad was looking forward to it like that, so he had to draw a legendary skill for him.

And with that momentum, he would draw a legendary skill for himself as well.

“Yes, objectively speaking, today’s me is different from usual.”

The man who drew a legendary skill from the very first step was none other than himself.

Indeed, a hidden hot spot.

Dohyun, nodding his head that something was different, took a small breath. Dohyun, who was even closing his eyes and calming his excited breath, opened his eyes wide.

[Using the random skill draw ticket for Guardian ‘Jihad Black’.]

“Let’s go for three legendaries!”

Then he reached out his hand vigorously, and soon a dazzling light burst out.

* * *

To put it bluntly, it was a complete disaster.

-Today’s me is different from usual? Where was the objectivity, master?

“…….”

-Aigo, you only give good things to Charlie again~ What about me~~ I’m a hero again~!! I’m a hero of this era.

-Rizariza…….

Dohyun finally turned his gaze away, watching Eliza comforting Jihad.

It was Jihad who was openly mocking him, but this time he had nothing to say.

‘A hero… a hero….’

Easy come, easy go.

Unlike his ambitious aspirations to draw a legendary skill, he drew hero grades one after another after that.

At least in his case, there were two hero grades in the card pack, but in Jihad’s case, there were six dung colors and one yellow.

‘If I didn’t have the Eye of Truth, would it have been all dung colors?’

It’s unconditional.

There is no room for doubt.

Jihad was already sulking because he only gave Charlie a legendary weapon, but now that Charlie was the only one drawing a legendary skill, he was completely sulking.

-But you got something great.

-……That’s true, but.

-Also, you are now barely breathing in mana. If you had obtained a legend now, you would have suffered again.

-……Is that so?

-Yes! Receiving a hero this time can be said to be the most appropriate.

Dohyun quietly gave a thumbs up to Charlie, who was always bewitching Jihad with his eloquent words.

The somewhat stiff appearance he had when catching the Queen Bee was nowhere to be found on Charlie, who was nodding his head firmly.

Just a face full of loyalty.

The first legendary skill had that much power.

‘I still can’t forget the excitement I felt when I got Lightning Dragon Advent.’

Thinking about that time still makes my heart flutter.

And Charlie’s words were not wrong.

[Undead Weapon Creation]

-Grade: Hero

-Restriction: Necromancer Class

-Description: Undead are all dead people who were once alive.

A true commander must know how to give his legion the right weapons.

-Effect: Creates weapons based on the weapons the undead used to wield when they were alive. The duration varies depending on the weapon implemented, and mana is consumed when creating the weapon.

Legion commanders can implement more precisely, and mana consumption increases.

-Cooldown: 90 seconds

‘This is a good defense.’

In the case of necromancers, there are also hero-grade skills or curse skills that are like dog poop due to the nature of the job, but if a legion-related skill comes out, it was decent.

Even more perfect if it was weapon creation.

The overall power of the legion had increased.

Considering that this also applies to the undead that will increase in the future, this is better than a legendary skill now… not that it’s good, but it was that good of a skill.

‘Sigh.’

Rather, Dohyun was more disappointed than Jihad.

[Acceleration]

-Grade: Hero

-Restriction: Martial Artist Class

-Description: Martial artists are jobs that fight at the shortest distance.

As such, quick speed is essential.

The martial artist who reached his limit realized how to generate even faster speed temporarily.

-Effect: Increases attack speed and movement speed for 40 seconds upon activation.

-Cooldown: 70 seconds

‘It’s not bad…….’

Rather, it should be seen as good.

The combination of Acceleration and Lightning Dragon Advent was a key combination that the Lightning Emperor used well in Dem Locke.

He would definitely be jealous if he ran into him next time.

That alone was a pleasant thing, and even if you just look at Acceleration, it was a skill with wide versatility.

A skill that was perfect for Dohyun, who was an All-Master.

But what should I say.

‘Now, the only random draw tickets you can get from leveling up are the ones you get at level 100.’

In other words, this one was one of the last two draw tickets.

The higher the level, the higher the probability of getting a high-grade skill, so I had high expectations for this draw ticket, but I can’t help but feel disappointed when a hero grade comes out.

Dohyun, who was licking his lips in disappointment, chuckled.

‘I used to be grateful even if I got a hero grade.’

To be disappointed that Acceleration, which is in the top tier of those hero grades, came out.

People’s hearts were so fickle.

‘Okay, let’s find our original intention. It’s not like I’ve been getting legendary skills so well since when.’

I have three legendary skills now, so if I think about the time when I didn’t have any, I’ve literally become a dragon.

Since Charlie got a legendary skill, the hot spot has done its part.

[Would you like to leave the Cursed Cave?]

It was when he was trying to leave the dungeon while calming his mind.

Ding-

[The Eye of Truth is activated.]

“Huh?”
