The Return Of The Genius Ranker Of All Times [EN]: Chapter 325

325.

[You have used the Sealed Unique Magic Ring.]

[One of the sealed unique magics of the Magic King, Luciel El Rihard, is randomly activated.]

The moment the unique magic activated for the first time,

Do-hyun watched the brilliant light illuminate the surroundings and block Garion, and he thought.

‘Ah, damn it.’

He was screwed.

He had hoped that a defensive magic wouldn’t activate, but it seemed one had finally appeared.

The overwhelming magic power that not only blocked Garion’s unblockable attack but also pushed him away was undoubtedly excellent magic.

‘Damn it, now that it’s come to this, should I at least try to surprise him…….’

Now that things have turned out this way, it would be better to inflict as much damage as possible while he’s stunned.

He wasn’t paying attention to the magic anymore because he knew he couldn’t catch him off guard.

[Unique Magic ‘Weapon Master’ is activated.]

‘Huh?’

Do-hyun paused at the message that appeared with a cheerful notification.

‘Weapon Master?’

It didn’t seem like a defensive magic at all.

It reminded him of the Weapon Master trait, and it seemed to be related to attack or passive skills.

Moreover, the light burst out before that message appeared.

That means…….

‘……Could it be that the light wasn’t a unique magic?’

The light that engulfed Garion wasn’t a grand magic.

It was just a phenomenon caused by the release of pure magic power.

Just by releasing the Magic King’s latent magic power before activating the magic, it showed such an effect.

‘Crazy.’

He was beyond admiration and in awe of the monstrous magic power.

No wonder he was a mage who opposed God.

At this point, his heart was pounding.

‘Weapon Master, huh…….’

I wonder what kind of unique magic that monster has.

[This is impossible……!]

Fortunately, Garion was wary of the light and couldn’t approach easily, so Do-hyun took a sigh of relief and checked the ability.

At the same time, Do-hyun’s eyes widened.

[The true power of a weapon is latent within its original owner.]

[For a certain period, it reaches back into the weapon’s history to invoke the will of the original owner and imbue it into the weapon.]

[Specify the weapon to activate.]

‘……What? Invoke the original owner?’

This was an absurd magic.

Reversing time was an impossible feat even for the Great Sage.

Moreover, invoking the owner of the weapon is like summoning a dead great person.

Strictly speaking, it is invoking the will of the dead, but can this really be seen as an area that a mere magic can exert?

‘Just considering the weapons I have…….’

Gulp.

Do-hyun swallowed hard.

Dream Witch Ruidra. The forgotten king who reached the supreme realm.

Taksinel, who almost led Brion to destruction.

Even the owners of legendary weapons, whose identities are unknown but must be great figures.

There were so many weapons that immediately came to mind.

‘What if I summon the forgotten king?’

In particular, considering that the forgotten king was one of the most renowned knights and kings in history who reached the supreme realm, it was like a cheat code.

‘Heavenly Transformation is good. I wouldn’t have been able to collect so many weapons without Heavenly Transformation…… Huh?’

Do-hyun, who was muttering softly, suddenly flinched and stopped.

‘……Wait, Heavenly Transformation?’

His gaze went down.

Do-hyun’s eyes, staring at Heavenly Transformation, became subtle and took on a slight gleam.

What is Heavenly Transformation?

The authority of the strongest man in history, who was called the God of Combat, became a weapon.

The only owner before Do-hyun could only be him.

That means…….

‘Nah, no way. There’s no way this will work.’

Do-hyun shrugged his shoulders and looked away.

It doesn’t make sense, does it?

Breaking the balance has its limits, but summoning a transhuman who even chewed up God.

If this works, it’s no different from a nuke or a cheat code.

But.

‘……What if it does work?’

It wouldn’t hurt to try, right?

“……Heavenly Transformation designated.”

Eventually, Do-hyun muttered softly.

Flash-!

At the same time, with a cheerful notification, numerous system windows confused his eyes.

* * *

Bang! Bang! Bang!

[Keuhuk! Keuk!]

The result of that was the current situation.

“Wow, crazy……”

“What’s going on? Suddenly he’s just one-sidedly beating him up?”

“Isn’t this just a unilateral assault?”

“Is this possible? I might even feel sorry for that monster.”

Unilateral assault.

It was the most appropriate word to describe this situation.

Bang! Bang-!!

“Kya, the hand feel is great. As expected, punching with your fists is the most refreshing.”

[W, what is this……! How on earth did you suddenly unleash such power…… Keuhuk!]

“Hey, are you not concentrating? Your teeth will fly out.”

The sight of him punching him evenly from his face to his solar plexus, stomach, and even his thighs was closer to assault than combat.

In fact, at some point, the number of times he punched and kneed him became more frequent than the number of times he hit him with his sword.

Bang-!

Every time his fist was planted in his chin, his brain was shaken, and the shockwave swept through the barrier.

When his knee was planted, it was as if an awl had been hammered in, shattering his armor and paralyzing his muscles, and when he swung his sword, he cut through flesh and bone as if slicing tofu.

[Kuaaaa! I’ll kill you!]

Even in the dizzying shock, he desperately swung his sword, but it only weakly cut through the air as if a child was throwing a tantrum.

Swish- Pow!

After easily dodging it, he immediately followed up with a counter.

[Keoeok……!]

The shock of his knee hitting his solar plexus caused a shockwave to erupt from his back, sweeping through the area.

“Wow, look at that impact.”

“No, has Kaiser always been so good at punching? It’s like watching MMA [Mixed Martial Arts].”

“Ouch, I feel like I’m the one getting hurt.”

“Kaiser Punch! Kaiser Punch! Kaiser Punch! Kaiser Punch!

“Ah, so that’s what Kaiser Punch meant.”

The users cheered at Kaiser’s unique fighting style, which was usually full of artistic movements.

[Mo, Monster……!]

Fear began to fill Garion’s eyes.

Regardless, Do-hyun was busy tapping him evenly from head to toe, as if playing a *Jajinmori* rhythm [a complex Korean rhythmic pattern often used in traditional music].

-Yes! Duck to the left there and uppercut…… Yes, that’s it!

-A counterattack is coming. Dodge that, and since the distance has widened, use the sword…… Oh, what’s this? You’re doing well without me even telling you? You’re the first one since your companions to have such good sense.

Each time, he heard instructions in his head.

The one diligently giving instructions was none other than the blue spirit floating above Cheonbyeon.

Kasiar, the owner of Cheonbyeon and the man called the God of Combat.

-Not bad, kid. You were a rookie when I met you before, but now you’ve matured quite a bit. You’ve grown a lot. I knew I had a good eye.

“…….”

-But it’s still not enough. Back in my day, everyone surpassed that level before they became adults. I reached the ultimate realm at 16, and by 20, I had no rivals in the kingdom…… Blah blah……. At 24, I fought the king of the giants…….

“……Are you always this talkative?”

He frowned at the increasingly *kkondae*-like [a Korean slang term for an older person who is condescending or preachy] behavior compared to when he had seen him before, but Kasiar’s instructions showed no sign of stopping.

What was even more annoying was that even though he was acting like an old man, he looked like a protagonist in a movie because of his ridiculously handsome appearance.

It was very infuriating, but he had to endure it now.

[The will of Kasiar, the original owner of ‘Cheonbyeon (Thousand Transformations)’ and the God of Combat, dwells within Cheonbyeon.]

[The target is overwhelmingly high-ranking.]

[Unable to summon the will.]

[Confirmed as the successor of the individual, partially ignoring the conditions.]

[Summoning the incomplete will of Kasiar.]

[Cheonbyeon (Thousand Transformations) meets its original owner, temporarily greatly increasing damage.]

[Kasiar’s will dwells within, temporarily greatly increasing rank.]

[Physical abilities and magic power are overwhelmingly increased.]

It was all thanks to that old man (?) that he had the power to overwhelm Garion unilaterally.

Just by dwelling in the weapon.

Although he was somewhat frivolous and annoying, his power was real.

And Kasiar’s words made sense.

-To think that someone who’s supposed to be a successor can only handle my teenage years. Well, that’s probably why you struggled against that loser and summoned me. Thanks to you, I get to rejuvenate. I’m so grateful.

“…….”

-By the way, it feels strange. Lucir created a spell to summon ancient mages to research magical knowledge, and now I’m in the position of those ancient mages. You live long enough, you see everything. Don’t you think?

Because the gap between the original Kasiar and Do-hyun was too great, Kasiar’s rank was forcibly fixed to his teenage years while dwelling within him.

Even this wouldn’t have been possible if he wasn’t a successor.

‘Well, he was already taking on gods by the age of 30…….’

It was perhaps natural that Do-hyun seemed infinitely lacking in Kasiar’s eyes.

-Still, it’s surprising. You even managed to get a ring from that picky Lucir. Honestly, I thought it would take you years just to get that, but you managed to get a perfect score.

“Are you giving me medicine after making me sick?”

-Medicine, my foot…… You need to try harder. When that day comes, you won’t be able to survive with that level of strength.

“……That day? Everyone keeps talking about that day. What is that day?”

-Don’t be impatient. You’ll find out soon enough since you’re my vessel.

“What does that…….”

The moment Do-hyun unknowingly stopped moving at the incomprehensible words.

[Kuaaaa!!]

Taking advantage of the brief opening, Garion roared.

[Black Knight Garion uses the Authority of Darkness – Raging Darkness.]

[Black Knight Garion uses Dark Berserk.]

[Black Knight Garion uses the Authority of Darkness – Two Pairs of Wings.]

-We’ll talk later.

“……I guess we will.”

As if he had been waiting, he recklessly activated his powers.

The most dangerous of them was Dark Berserk.

[Black Knight Garion consumes half of his remaining health with Dark Berserk, forcibly increasing the synchronization rate with the Dark Demonic Dragon.]

[The synchronization rate with the Dark Demonic Dragon exceeds 70%.]

[Black Knight Garion’s health recovery speed greatly increases.]

[Black Knight Garion’s defense greatly increases.]

…….

[Black Knight Garion’s aura of the Abyss becomes very dense.]

[The performance of the Authority of Darkness is amplified, and the number of usable Authorities of Darkness greatly increases.]

“Crazy…… 70 percent??”

“No, it was 57 percent until just now. How can it jump 13 percent at once?”

The final authority to become one with darkness by sacrificing life force.

As a result, Garion’s synchronization rate instantly exceeded 70%.

The change was clearly visible to the naked eye.

[‘Authority of Darkness – Two Pairs of Wings’ evolves into ‘Authority of Darkness – Three Pairs of Wings.’]

[‘Authority of Darkness – Raging Darkness’ evolves into ‘Authority of Darkness – Atoning Darkness.’]

Crack- Crack-

The wings that unfolded behind him immediately became three pairs, and the darkness swirling around him was coldly watching Do-hyun like a guillotine.

A strange darkness that any human would instinctively feel chills from.

[Khehehe…… Khahahahaha! You acted arrogantly, so this is what you get. You shouldn’t have given me time! You should have pushed me to the end!]

Just laughing, but the chilling roar heavily strikes the air.

Having exceeded 70%, he was no longer Garion.

A height exceeding 10 meters and a burly physique.

Even the huge wings that blocked the entire view in front of him.

He had a very similar appearance to the Demonic Dragon he had seen before.

-Focus. There’s not much time left.

As Kasiar said.

[The weapon owner’s duration has 20 seconds remaining.]

[When the weapon owner is released, all health will be depleted due to the backlash of enduring the overwhelming rank.]

There were only 20 seconds left.

[Black Knight Garion’s remaining health is below 5%.]

On the other hand, although his health was 5%, his synchronization rate exceeded 70%, making him even tougher and stronger than before.

-How is it, is it possible?

Kasiar asked casually in an infinitely short time, and Do-hyun grinned.

There was only one answer.

“More than enough.”

At the same time, a small teardrop-shaped tattoo appeared under Do-hyun’s eyes, which were hidden by the mask,

—–!!

The sky darkened, and lightning in the shape of a black dragon struck down.

[Using the Saint King’s Mark.]

[Using the second ability of the Tears of God.]

[Temporarily consumes no mana. (Cooldown: 70 minutes)]

[Using Darkness Coating on Lightning Dragon Descent.]

[The Lightning Dragon is affected by Darkness Coating and gains dark properties.]

[Approaching the power of the Black Dragon through an abnormal route.]

[The effects of dark properties are additionally applied, possessing the aura of both the Lightning Dragon and the Black Dragon simultaneously.]

Fwoosh-

[Kuaaaaaaa!]

Do-hyun, who had drawn Cheonbyeon with black sparks flying, muttered lowly as he looked at Garion, who was roaring.

“Let’s finish this.”
