The Return Of The Genius Ranker Of All Times [EN]: Chapter 57

Chapter 391

Part 2, Episode 57.

How many minutes had passed since the two men had wailed?

…It wasn’t an exaggeration; only after wailing for several minutes did Doyun and Rak slowly straighten their knees and stand up.

The ‘환장 (hwanjang – crazy/fantastic)’ shouting duo’s performance finally came to an end, and at the same time, they looked at each other, asking with their eyes:

-Did you get the Association President too?

-Ah, me too!

They could understand without speaking.

At that level, they would have obtained at least a Hero… no, perhaps even a Legend-grade.

However, in Doyun’s case, he hadn’t obtained it yet.

[Please select a card.]

Because he hadn’t chosen a skill card yet.

It was just visible.

[The Eye of Truth is activated.]

‘Golden from the first card… This is insane. Is this the Association President’s prime spot?’

The moment he looked at the leftmost card, a brilliant golden light welcomed Doyun.

Moreover, there wasn’t just one golden card.

The fifth card was also emitting a brilliant golden light, dazzling Doyun.

‘Ah… two… two Legend cards.’

He was so moved that his heart was about to burst, feeling like he could die without regrets.

And that wasn’t all.

The ratio of the other cards wasn’t bad either.

Two dung-colored cards, five silver cards, and one yellow card.

‘If there are only three common cards, that’s excellent.’

There was even a Hero-grade card mixed in, so it was pleasing just to look at.

He sincerely felt like he could be full all day just looking at those cards without eating.

Doyun, who was looking at the cards with the heart of a mother, shook his head.

It was too early to relax.

‘If another Do-boong skill pops up, it’ll be a disaster. I have to choose carefully.’

The memory of Brion had become PTSD [Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder].

Doyun had picked the wick among three Hero skills, so he couldn’t be sure this time either.

There probably wouldn’t be a dud among the Legend cards, but….

Still, a Legend-grade Thief skill and a Legend-grade Swordsman skill felt different from the start, didn’t they?

‘Since duplicates don’t appear, probabilistically, it’ll be one of the job skills I don’t have.’

The number of Legend-grade skills for each job is limited.

He had already obtained the Legend skills for Martial Artist, Knight, and Paladin, so the probability of those three appearing was low.

The Swordsman side was ambiguous.

‘Reverse Heaven is also a Legend skill for now.’

It was a growth-type skill and a signature swordsmanship skill, but strictly speaking, it was a Legend-assigned skill.

However, there was more hope for the Swordsman class.

Doyun knew that there were five Legend skills for Swordsman based on Demroach.

It was a lot compared to all jobs, so one more could appear.

‘…No, since when has this kind of probability meant anything?’

Skills appear as they please, whether the probability is lower or higher.

Whatever it is, it’s a Legend skill, so he was confident he could use it.

Doyun, who had emptied his mind, reached out his finger but suddenly stopped.

“Hmm….”

Then, after a moment of ‘고민 (gomin – consideration),’ he turned to Astre.

“Old man.”

“Huh?”

“Which is better, the left or the middle?”

“? Why are you suddenly asking that?”

“Just answer me.”

It was a nonsensical question, but at Doyun’s urging, Astre answered in a reluctant voice.

“The middle?”

“Okay. I trust you, old man.”

“Trust what… Don’t tell me you haven’t opened the card pack yet? Then why the hell were you doing that…!”

Astre, who belatedly grasped the situation, muttered something, but Doyun couldn’t hear it.

He reached out and grabbed the fifth card.

Flash-!!

Because the brilliant golden light was coloring his vision.

After a grand effect, a card unfolded with a cheerful notification.

‘Did it, did it pop [appear]!?’

Doyun swallowed hard and glared, and soon he could check the skill.

At the same time, Doyun’s eyes widened, and soon his gaze became subtle.

[Acquired Legend Skill, ‘Call of Destiny’.]

‘Huh?’

It was a skill outside of expectations.

He hadn’t even thought about it, so the first thought that came to mind when he saw the skill name was, ‘What kind of skill was this?’

No, to be honest, he still doesn’t remember what kind of skill it is.

Doyun hurriedly checked the information and exclaimed.

[Call of Destiny]

-Grade: Legend

-Restriction: Priest Class

-Description: In the distant past, priests who reached the pinnacle of divine power gathered to summon the souls of those who had returned to the earth.

It is different from necromancy, which forcibly moves the dead body, but summoning the soul is strictly classified as black magic.

In the end, this research had no choice but to be abandoned, but they found another way.

Bringing the characteristics of the dead, not the soul.

Destiny will call… You have died and left, but your traces remain and will be recorded in history.

-Effect: When cast, you can summon one characteristic of the target you have defeated so far.

The characteristics that can be summoned are determined in proportion to the caster’s ‘격 (gyeok – status/level),’ and once a trace has been brought, the target is removed from the list and cannot be summoned again.

However, only the characteristics of those who have been finished off by your own hands can be brought.

Also, in the case of non-humans, the characteristics of targets with too low ‘격 (gyeok – status/level)’ cannot be summoned.

Only one characteristic can be summoned at a time, and if you bring the characteristics of another person during the casting, the previously summoned characteristic is deleted.

‘Wow, this was it!?’

Call of Destiny.

A skill that is always mentioned when choosing the Legend skill with the most unique concept in God of Seoul.

In a way, it was a famous skill, but there was a reason why Doyun couldn’t remember it.

‘This is one of the top 3 most useless Legend skills.’

It was one of the trash skills that ruined the dignity of the Legend skill, which was said to be a scam no matter what you ‘뽑다 (ppopda – draw/pull).’

Call of Destiny existed since Demroach, but it was not a skill that existed from the beginning.

A skill updated around the time Demroach was nearing its end.

When this skill first came out, the reaction wasn’t bad.

‘It was said to be a skill that could compensate for the priest’s ‘부족했던 (bujokhaetdeon – lacking)’ dealing ability with a novel concept.’

As characteristics were important in the game, bringing one more characteristic was a tremendous skill.

The disadvantage was that once a target was summoned, it was removed from the list and could not be used again, but there was no particular risk.

Nevertheless, the only reason this skill was treated as trash was one thing.

‘How can a priest use it if you give them such conditions?’

Being able to summon only the characteristics of the target they directly defeated.

Because of this one condition, this skill was ‘욕을 먹으며 (yogeul meogeumyeo – cursed/sworn at)’ and marketed at the speed of light.

What ‘수 (su – means)’ does a priest, who has no combat ability, have to beat an enemy?

‘Because the ‘흔적 (heunjeok – traces)’ of targets with low ‘격 (gyeok – status/level)’ cannot be summoned, you have to catch boss-level targets, so it was practically the same as using it for PK [Player Killing].’

Of course, they sometimes managed to land the final blow, but….

Even then, once they used the ability, they could never use the boss’s ability again, and later on, the deal itself didn’t ‘제대로 (jedaero – properly)’ ‘박혀서 (bakhyeoseo – hit/land),’ so it was difficult to land the final blow.

There were priests who spent money to kill those with good characteristics in order to ‘활용 (hwalyong – utilize)’ it somehow, but that was only once or twice, and they couldn’t do that every time.

‘In the first place, there wouldn’t be many who could do that….’

Above all, the biggest problem was the job itself, priest.

Even if they brought top-level combat characteristics such as Weapon Master or Combat Instinct, could a priest properly use it?

It would be better to bring a skill.

Bringing a characteristic that can be said to be a kind of passive skill was nothing more than a ‘계륵 (gyeruk – white elephant/something useless)’ to a priest who had ‘몰빵한 (molppanghan – invested everything)’ in divine power.

Therefore, the method for priests to utilize this ability was decided in two ways.

‘They mainly bring assassin characteristics to use for survival, or they increase mana with the blessing of mana, or they bring cool-down reduction characteristics to heal more.’

Therefore, guilds or priests with ‘빵빵한 (ppangppanghan – plenty of)’ capital sometimes ‘채용 (chaeyong – adopted)’ Call of Destiny, but there were not many priests who could do that.

For ordinary priest users, it was practically a skill that they could not use.

In many ways, it was a skill that did not live up to the name of a Legend skill… to be honest, it was an ambiguous skill even if you gave it a Hero grade.

‘Yes. That’s how it would be ‘원래라면 (wollaeramyeon – normally).’

The expression on Doyun’s face, who obtained this trash skill, was subtle.

The reason why this skill is trash is because it is a priest-only skill.

‘…But if I use it?’

It is easy to meet the conditions, and no matter what characteristics he brings, his stats are evenly high thanks to the Latent Dragon characteristic, so he can ‘충분히 (chungbunhi – sufficiently)’ ‘뽑아낼 수 (ppobaenael su – draw out)’ efficiency.

Moreover, the skill itself has no cool-down time, so if there are many targets he has defeated, he can use it continuously.

The types of boss-level monsters he has defeated so far are more than 20.

If you add the users he PKed [Player Killed] to that….

‘…This is ‘개사기 (gaesagi – totally OP/overpowered)?’

Doyun, who was already ‘침을 돈 (chimeul don – salivating),’ was about to activate the skill right away.

“Kya! I knew my ‘삘 (ppil – feeling/intuition)’ was good today… I’m tearing up. How about you, Kaiser?”

-Let’s see, looking at his nostrils, it seems like he got something really good?

-Rizariza.

Rak, who was approaching with excitement, asked with a curious face at Jihad’s answer.

“Hoo… If it’s not rude, can I ask what skill you got? Ah, it’s not polite to only listen to me, so I’ll say it first. I got Light’s Glare.”

“Light’s Glare라면 (ramyeon – if it’s Light’s Glare)…?”

“Ah, you don’t know the explorer skill well. It’s a Legend-grade exploration skill that can ‘파악할 수 (paakhalsu – grasp/understand)’ all roads or traces with light. I’m so happy that it finally popped up. It’s my second Legend-grade.”

“Oh! Congratulations.”

Indeed, he was wailing ‘열심히 (yeolsimhi – diligently),’ so it was because a Legend-grade popped up.

Seeing that it was his second Legend, it meant that he had only one Legend-grade so far, so he deeply sympathized with how ‘감동 (gamdong – touched)’ he must be.

At his sincere congratulations, Rak really wiped away tears.

“Can I ask what Kaiser got? Ah, if it’s difficult to tell me, you can just tell me the grade.”

Looking at his ‘기대 (gidae – expectant)’ ‘모습 (moseup – appearance),’ Rak also seemed curious because he saw Doyun wailing.

Thanks to that, he had nothing to hide since he got a Legend-grade in this ‘꿀명당 (kkulmyeongdang – honey spot/prime location).’

It was the moment Doyun was about to open his mouth without ‘고민 (gomin – hesitation).’

“Intruder!!”

“Which ‘새끼 (saekki – bastard)’ is it! Which ‘새끼 (saekki – bastard)’ is it that dares to set foot in our territory without fear!?”

“Everyone come this way! Intruder!”

Suddenly, a big ‘소란 (soran – commotion)’ arose from behind, and an enormous crowd was ‘몰려오는 (mollyeooneun – rushing in).’

Even at a glance, there were dozens of users, and the end was still not visible.

“…?”

“What, what’s the situation?”

-Ri, Riza!?

-W, what’s going on, ‘주인 (juin – master)’!?

-주군 (jugun – Lord), be careful.

Doyun and his party were ‘어리둥절해 (eoridungjeolhae – bewildered)’ by the unknown situation, and Charlie drew his sword and stood in front of Doyun.

Soon, however, they could understand what was going on.

“To find our secret hideout… I don’t know which ‘새끼들 (saekki-deul – bastards)’ you are, but you must have been prepared… Kaiser?”

“Kaiser? Why is Kaiser here… Is it real?”

“The owner of Adventure King and the Armory too?”

“Damn it, was there a spy?”

“I don’t know what’s going on, but can we take this as a declaration of war?”

“Dare to declare war against our ‘무법지대 (mubeopjidae – lawless zone)?’ Did we look that ‘만만하게 (manmanhage – easy)’ to you?”

They were also ‘당황 (danghwang – flustered)’ when they saw Doyun and his party, and the moment they heard those words, Rak’s words came to mind.

-It seems like someone used it as a hideout… I watched it for a few days and no one was there, so I immediately made it a prime spot.

‘…The ‘무법지대 (mubeopjidae – lawless zone)’ guys were using this as a hideout?’

In other words, from their point of view, it was the same situation as Doyun, who had a ‘악연 (agyeon – bad relationship)’ with them, leading a party to ‘습격해온 (seupgyeokhaeon – raid)’ while they were temporarily away.

“Huh, you must have been ‘기세등등 (gisedeungdeung – elated)’ after catching some guys from District 3, right? You dared to ‘쳐들어오다니 (cheodeureo-odani – invade)’ this place without fear.”

“District 2 is different. I’ll show you the difference in ‘급 (geup – level).’

“It’s ‘오히려 (ohiryeo – rather)’ good. Let’s ‘정리해버리자고 (jeongrihae-beorijago – clean up)’ those guys altogether this time.”

“Be careful. The owner of the Armory is also there.”

“Even so, there are only two combat jobs, right? What are they going to do with two people?”

“That’s true. Hehehe… I wonder if they’ll ‘승급시켜주려나 (seunggeupsikyeo-juryeona – promote)’ me if I catch those guys?”

It was a tremendous ‘오해 (ohae – misunderstanding),’ but there was no way those who were already ‘꺼내 (kkeonae – taking out)’ their weapons and approaching would listen.

‘Haa….’

Doyun, who was ‘짚던 (jipdeon – supporting)’ his forehead, thinking that there was no way it could be this ‘평화로울 (pyeonghwaroul – peaceful),’ suddenly thought.

Anyway, he has a ‘악연 (agyeon – bad relationship)’ with the ‘무법지대 (mubeopjidae – lawless zone)’ guys.

Misunderstanding or not, now that it’s come to this, wouldn’t it be better to catch and ‘족치는 (jokchineun – beat up)’ all those guys now that the old man is here?

Above all….

[Would you like to use Legend Skill, ‘Call of Destiny’?]

‘I wanted to try it right away anyway… Isn’t this the perfect time to ‘시험해보기 (siheomhae-bogi – test)’ the ability?’

Isn’t this the perfect opportunity to ‘활용할 (hwalyonghal – utilize)’ the Legend skill he got this time?

At that moment when he finished ‘판단 (pandan – judging).’

Astre, Rak, and Barion were all ‘꺼내 (kkeonae – taking out)’ their weapons, as if they all had similar thoughts.

“It seems like everyone has the same thoughts as me.”

“Have I been with you for a day or two? There’s no way you’d ‘물러날 (mulleonal – back down)’ at a time like this, you ‘인마 (inma – punk).’

“That’s true.”

“We will join you too.”

Doyun, who ‘피식 웃은 (pisik useun – smirked)’ at Astre’s words, ‘빛냈다 (bichnaetda – shone)’ his eyes while ‘쥐며 (jwimyeo – holding)’ 천변 (All Changes).

[All Changes (千變) is transformed into ‘+15 진 (眞) White Lion’s 설화 (Snow Flower) Sword’.]
