Episode 290. Quick-fire ranker (2)
“Everyone, you…!?”
An earthquake occurred in Aidan’s pupils.
It’s been hard to hear, but I never thought I’d meet the person in person.
It was also in the raid where he was the raid leader.
“My name is Kang Jin-hyeok. You’re from the Titan raid, right?”
Jinhyuk briefly introduced himself.
“That’s right. My name is Aidan, the engineering chief.”
“Wow. Wow…! Oh my God. My name is Mei-Ling. I’m the raid’s main damage dealer.”
Meiling was also startled and stuttered.
It was quite impressive to see him fidgeting as if he had met a famous celebrity.
“If it’s Kang Jin-hyuk…”
“Isn’t that the Korean ranker? Look. Jack. That player is Kang Jin-hyuk.”
“I know. There’s a complete uproar in the media right now, but it’s strange not knowing.”
“I heard that even the masters of the giant guilds put aside their moves, and that was true. It’s the first time I’ve seen Aidan-san so intimidated, isn’t it?”
Even among the raiding parties, the murmur gradually increased.
“What are you doing here? I’m sure you left a sign at the entrance of the ruins saying that our guild is attacking.”
“If it’s that flag, I’ve seen it too. However, something unusual is happening within the ruins, so I had to intervene.”
“Is it unusual?”
“Didn’t Aidan feel it too? The monsters in the ruins are very difficult to deal with.”
“Yeah, that’s right. I thought it was weird, but…”
It caught on.
The corners of Jinhyuk’s mouth went up.
“Perhaps someone intervened. Otherwise, it makes no sense.”
“No way, are you saying that the demons were playing tricks?”
Aidan immediately identified the culprit.
Because they were the only ones who had a reason to do this.
“you’re right.”
– No, it was uploaded by a senior manager for testing.
“Whoever you are, he must be a very evil and selfish guy. For his own benefit, he raised the difficulty of defeating the boss on the floor where the future of mankind depends.”
-The culprit is born.
I can’t tell you the truth, so I’ll have to sell the demons hiding somewhere in the tower that have been destroyed.
“To think that even the demons were involved in the ruins. So that’s why you said it wasn’t serious.”
“Yes. If you do it wrong, you may be annihilated.”
It was impossible to be exact, but the reason why I had to catch the boss alone was bigger.
All eyes turned to Aidan.
A decision that might lead to the worst outcome of annihilation.
After thinking for a while, Aidan made a decision.
“Okay. In fact, the difficulty inside the ruins has risen abnormally more than we knew. Player Kang Jin-hyeok also warned of the danger, so I can’t do anything more.”
Whoa.
Look at this.
Do you give up more easily than you think?
“A wise choice…”
“Instead.”
Aidan added a word.
“I don’t know about the boss, but please allow me to hunt one named monster.”
Right now, Aidan wanted a cause.
If Jinhyeok, the top ranker, helped the Titan Guild deal with one named in the ruins that he said was dangerous…
that would not be a failed raid.
Rather, it was a meaningful achievement even in atrocious circumstances.
Having calculated that, Aidan proposed the best deal he could.
‘I’m going here and there on my own, but it’s like putting a spoon on someone else’s business.’
Now, the ownership of ruins and dungeons is recognized worldwide.
Each guild preoccupied the numerous dungeons on the stairs first. Because I bought and sold the right.
“Okay. I don’t think it matters.”
Jinhyuk nodded.
As long as it’s not a boss, it’s fine.
At least one of the large guilds wanted to make a friendly relationship.
＊＊＊
As Jinhyeok joins, the layout of the raid has been newly adjusted.
“We’ll break through to the place where the name is. Player Kang Jin-hyeok, please save your magic and use it when it’s important.”
“Yes? No need to…”
“No. We also have to pay for the meal.”
Aidan stubbornly said.
I like the way he doesn’t try to get a free ride.
As well as being responsible.
On the other hand.
“Ha. No, Aidan-hyung. What are you so obsessed with? We’re enough.”
A man with a red tattoo on his face was sarcastic, showing a lot of discomfort.
The aura I felt was never under Aidan or Meiling.
Another S-class.
He was also a man with a very strange kind of magical power.
“Be careful with your mouth. It’s a decision made by me as the engineering chief.”
“Yeah, yeah. It’s just that I couldn’t understand why the same S-ranks were so low-key.”
The man sighed all the way.
“I’m sorry. That friend has become S-class this time, but he’s still less windy. I’ll give you a firm warning later.”
“It’s okay. Well, since I’ve risen to the ranks of S-class, I’m sure I’m full of confidence.”
“Thank you for your understanding.”
Soon the raiding party began to descend down the cave.
Mei-Ling, who had been keeping an eye on her to continue talking to her, hurriedly approached.
“Compared to player Kang Jin-hyeok, we’re far behind, but don’t worry too much. Even so, we’re one of the main raid groups of the Titan Guild that are put into Ruins raids.”
“One of the raids, does that mean there will be other raids coming later?”
“Yes. If our advance party went to the midway point and made a base camp, three more raids were scheduled to be put in as the main unit and the second team…. This time, I only held on to the name and left.”
Aidan, Meiling, and the one who said unlucky words behind them. Even a man with a red tattoo on his face.
There were three S-class members, so the starting lineup was not enough, so it was excessive power.
Three more raid groups are being put in here…
I realized once again how many rankers a large guild had.
Right then.
Meiling’s face changed 180 degrees.
“Everyone get ready! We’re coming!”
As if her body reacted first, Mei-Ling stretched out her staff and began to gather mana.
Cuckoo Cuckoo!
“Keeeee!”
“Keeck!”
Sharp cries were heard along the dark passageways.
Powerful magic power touched my skin.
[Meiling activates Lv17 ‘Chain Lightning’!]
Meiling casts lightning magic.
at the same time.
Sasasac!
Tsutsut!
Insects with red coats crawled along the walls of the passage.
The number is seventeen.
But they’re the kind that can’t be seen as funny.
Parts Tsutsu!
Yellow sparks flew as water marks formed.
Pew!
Lightning pierced one worm and continued to the next.
It was a lightning magic powerful enough to burn the inside black, but…
“Kieee!”
“Keeck!”
I just slowed down for a moment.
The bugs were still there.
“how…!?”
Meiling muttered in disbelief.
However, it was clearly visible in the eyes of Jinhyeok, who has the ‘eyes of gluttony’.
The appearance of the burnt inner flesh rapidly regenerating.
“Prepare for the next casting right away! In the meantime, we’ll stop!”
Now it’s the turn of the tanks.
[Aidan activates his unique ability ‘Promise of Vanguard’!]
[Physical defense and magic defense increase by 100% for 3 minutes!]
[Monster’s aggro is focused on the tank formation!]
Aidan holds the battle high Hit the ground with an axe.
Kwaaang!
The bugs that were aiming for Meiling and the dealers immediately turned and headed for Aidan and the tanks.
Sharp claws and huge shields and heavy blunt weapons collided head-on.
“Take care not to splash out with aggro!”
“Heel! Keep putting the cycle in without stopping. Hurry up!”
A fierce battle ensued.
A skirmish in which a moment’s inattention leads to death.
Linked movements like a ruler and splendid wide-area dealing unfolded.
In particular, the sight of Meiling tying up more than 10 bugs and Aidan smashing them with a battle ax was indescribable.
however.
‘This will take all day.’
In Jinhyeok’s eyes, all of this seemed slow.
It doesn’t mean that the rankers of the Titan Guild are not up to S-class skills.
It’s just…
in terms of efficiency, the way they did it was just too bad.
To deal with bugs with regenerative abilities, precision strikes were required, not wide-range dealing.
Most of all, is it because I met too strong enemies?
Even if it’s S-class, the level seems too low.
‘If I put my mind to it…’
Jinhyeok moved.
“Well, we’ve had enough…”
Aidan hurriedly opened his mouth.
The victory has already been won.
If I pushed a little harder, I could break through.
“It’s okay. I don’t have that much time.”
No one in the raid had noticed yet, but more bugs were coming along the passage.
And at the end of it, there was the named monster Butterfly.
Jinhyeok took out Kruger from beyond the shimmering space.
Two pistols tinged with silver were gently drawn.
“A gun? Player Kang Jin-hyeok’s weapon was a gun?”
Mei Ling widened her eyes.
Of course, I thought I would use a sword, but the wrong weapon came out.
Isn’t that also a firearm rated as the worst in the Tower of Trials?
“Haha! As expected, while using such things, they say that they are the strongest rankers. The strongest is a piece of shit!”
The man with the red tattoo let out a laugh.
And that laugh.
“Huh? Huh?”
The sight that followed turned into shock.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
bullets rain
Create bullets by changing body properties.

White streaks of light filled the air.
one per second.
Even after pouring so much dill, the bugs that had recovered in an instant began to shatter without a sound.
“Is a gun… capable of close combat like that?”
I had nothing to say other than that it was perfect.
Destructive power and accuracy.
On top of that, close combat using the blade attached to the gun while weaving among the bugs at a speed that is hard to keep up with the eyes.
It took less than 30 seconds for the bugs to be wiped out.
It was hard to believe when you consider that the entire raid struggled for over 5 minutes.
“Oh my God…”
“Even S-class has a class.”
“It’s not a level with a difference. It’s a complete monster, isn’t it?”
“It’s only one person who has joined, but hunting is so easy.”
“this… Really great?”
The morale of the raid went up overall.
Not everyone, of course.
“Damn it. It’s a close combat type job, so of course you have to do that. What is everyone making a fuss about? hey. Go and collect magic stones. It’s hard for porters to come here, so hurry up!”
The man with the tattoo began to vent his anger.
“Yes? yes. yes! Got it.”
The female player with the lowest rank stumbled and began to rummage among the corpses.
Anyway, it’s not wrong that someone said that every 20 or so people there’s at least one weird guy mixed in.
“Stop it. I don’t have time to collect the magic crystals one by one.”
“Yes?”
The woman who was struggling to extract the magic crystals from the corpse stopped at Jinhyeok’s insistence.
“After a while, another bug will come. With more numerous and stronger types than now.”
“That can’t be…”
“Stop making a fuss and just keep quiet. Even if the bugs come, I, a noble class, will block them alone.”
“Blocking them alone? You?”
“Yes. Listen carefully. Johansson, the only elementalist in the Titan Guild. Because that’s the name of this body.”
” Ohhh.”
It’s understandable that you’re full of confidence.
Since you’ve been promoted to one of the world’s best hidden classes, of course you can’t help but raise your nose.
.”
Johansson injected magic power.
Then,
a spirit beast in the form of a small fire lizard appeared.
“Kyao!”
A small flame burned from the tongue.
“It’s a fire spirit.
” I guess it’s not.”
It’s a fire spirit.
Fisik.
…so cute.
“Salamander,”
Jinhyeok muttered into the air.
