Chapter 626,
Chapter 161. Return (3)
Embarrassment The first emotion that came to Ranke Halowice’s mind.
‘My jaw is broken!? That too in one blow…!’
It was a body that was proud of being the best in the four major dukes of the demon realm.
It was the first time that a bone had been broken in a single blow since he was born and has been reigning as the strongest in the Demon Realm.
The next emotion that filled Ranke’s heart was anger. It wasn’t enough that he dared to cut off his words first, so he even threw his fist!
But it was not yet time to lose dignity. Just because the other person is vulgar doesn’t mean you can’t be the same as yourself as an aristocrat.
Couduk! Ranke, who increased the distance, forcibly matched the misaligned jawbone.
The bone that was put back into place quickly recovered.
“Attacking an unwary opponent has been the exclusive property of the thousand since ancient times. I was so happy that I even greeted you first, but this kind of rude… Kek!”
Quick!
Ranke’s jawbone, which had just been caught by Jin’s elbow, shattered once again. Ranke opened the distance again, feeling tears welling up.
“Ah!”
Ranke who went back and hit the chin again.
“Are you distracted again?”
“No, I was just trying to maintain dignity.”
“Then you must have died twice to me for trying to keep your dignity. If you hit it right, the head would be gone.”
“But this Ranke Halowice has no reason to respect you anymore!”
Ranke’s eyes turned red like blood.
A whip of thorns had formed in his hand before he knew it.
“A whip of thorns? You use such noble weapons.”
shah!
The whip flew with a bang.
Ranke turned dozens of remnants of chaos into flesh just by lightly waving his hand and releasing his demonic energy.
Of course, the power of a properly energized whip would not be comparable to that.
‘Come to think of it, it’s the first time I’ve competed with someone since the last sparring with Brother Baba.’
Is that why?
Jin felt that Ranke’s whip was harmless.
It was like watching the clumsy swordsmanship of apprentice warriors.
I couldn’t help but feel that Ranke was strong.
‘Don’t you have any intention of avoiding it?’
Tup Kkwaak…!
As Jin grabbed the thorn whip with his bare hands, Ranke’s eyes widened as if they were about to pop out.
The thorns of the hard devil’s thorn tree were breaking helplessly in Jin’s grip.
‘I was told that I was much lower than Bianca until two and a half years ago…! Did everyone lie to me!? Did you catch this with your bare hands?’
The only information Ranke had about Jin was the story he heard from the members of Kingelo.
Therefore, I know that Jin’s armed forces were already around 10 stars even two and a half years ago, and I also kept in mind that he would have achieved considerable growth after entering closed training.
However, the human who now grabbed the whip was very different from what the members said about him.
“There is only one reason why I didn’t kill you right away, Demon.”
“Ranke. Ranke Halowice!”
“Because I have a question. Why did the Great Desert of Mithra come to this point and why did you say that this is a playground? Be as detailed as possible. If so, please show me some mercy.”
“Have mercy. I’m so full I’m speechless.”
“I mean, I’ll kill you in a way that won’t be too painful.”
“It looks like you’ve grown a little more than you’ve heard so far, but don’t be too conceited. This Ranke-sama is very strong.”
“Is that so? Compared to Bianca Caligo, I think it’s very funny.”
“I am incomparably superior to that lesser fellow of the Caligo family… Don’t compare yourself to such a lowly fellow!”
profit!
Ranke pulled the whip with all his might.
However, Jin was immovable like a giant stone, and only Ranke’s attitude became funny. Jin even used only one hand and was overflowing with leisure.
“ha ha ha. yes i admit it Your strength is… stronger than me!”
Ranke took out a new thorn whip and started attacking Jin again. It was only then that Jin swung Sigmund and easily whipped him away.
“Is it really that I can’t grasp the situation, or is there something else I believe in? Are you waiting for your colleagues to come?”
“Even if this Ranke-sama doesn’t have anything like that.”
Having said that, Ranke suddenly felt a chill on the nape of her neck.
It was because the gin that was supposed to be beyond the whip that was pouring down like a shower had disappeared somewhere.
“It seems that you are not used to fighting opponents stronger than you. At times like this, I don’t force myself to muster courage to push away fear…”
Jin’s voice came from the side. ten steps away. It was a distance where there was nothing strange about being decapitated in the blink of an eye.
“It’s best to quickly admit defeat and try to survive. To do that, you have to prove your worth to the other person. You have to save your life by presenting reasons and grounds not to be killed right away so that you have a future. Besides, I personally told you what I wanted.”
Aaaah-!
The Magi shot by Ranke attacked Jin like a dragon’s breath.
Of course, Jin easily avoided Magi and settled down again.
Magi stretched out into the air and advanced, sweeping away everything that stood in its way.
Thump thump thump…! The heart pounded in Ranke’s chest.
Fear An emotion he hadn’t felt in a very long time was terrifyingly overpowering him.
“Tell me why the Great Desert became like this.”
There is no intent to kill in Jin’s voice.
It was just a calm tone, but Ranke felt cold sweat pouring out of his pores.
Ha ha ha Ranke’s breathing became rough.
He was thinking of his father.
‘Are you saying that this blue-eyed man… indeed has powers comparable to his father’s?’
It seemed that my father was standing in front of me.
The terrible sensation of a huge wall that could never be broken suffocating him from all sides drove Ranke into a swamp of panic.
“The great desert….”
“Yes, I finally decided to become a little smarter.”
“The Great Desert… the desert is like that.”
He waited for a while, but Ranke trembled and couldn’t speak.
‘This guy’s condition is a bit strange.’
Just as he was about to approach to slash himself for a threat, Ranke’s whip passed in front of Jin’s eyes.
Although he reacted generously, it was definitely an attack that was incomparably sharper than before.
It was an attack that Ranke wielded unconsciously.
Now Jin’s eyes were filled with life.
“I don’t know if I’m scared or if something bad has come to my mind. If you get it right, you’ll come to your senses.”
* * *
Same time. The old headquarters of Kingelo, the land of beasts.
“What? Ranke said that something suddenly happened in the Great Desert and went out alone?”
“Eh? Is there anything wrong with that?”
Aynas Caligo and Bubbar Gaston. As usual, the two shared sweet potato croquettes and received reports from the prisoners.
Ranke was the only person who was outstanding enough to sense the battle of the great desert among those who remained in the old main meeting.
“If it’s Ranke’s summoning technique experiment, that’s possible.”
“Ah, there was that strange experiment to summon the spirits of the old Pandemonium grand dukes.”
“Hmm. What do you think, Buvar! Should I tell the grand duke or my sister?”
“Wouldn’t it be embarrassing to Ranke-sama if it was a simple experiment accident like last time? Ranke-sama isn’t the kind of person who can’t stand that kind of thing.”
“What if it wasn’t Ranke’s experiment, but an intruder or something? The Great Desert is also the area where Jin Runkandel is believed to have moved last…” “
Ah, it’s already been over a year since the Great Desert was polluted. Since then, everyone has been using it as an experimental dump, but would that damn bastard have been there all along to train? I also did a search.”
“Is that so? No matter how you look at it, Boubard is smart! Well, the only intruders are the Tikans who came to get the waste.”
“Although Ranke-nim is a bit foolish, he is not someone to be beaten by the Tikans.”
“Well, it wouldn’t even be a handful for my older sister. Ranke counts too. It’s really strong, especially when it’s runaway. Ranke, who went out of his way to say that even before the demon world was destroyed, he was well known. Anyway, when Ranke comes, let’s ask him to prepare some food. With something delicious!”
“Trying out the new cookies that will break Ritra’s sweet shop!”
* * *
“Keuhuk kek…”
While Ainas and Boubar were flirting, Ranke suffered a crushing defeat from Jin.
When the trauma of his father kicked in, Ranke usually ran out of control and became stronger, and he never lost to anyone in that state. I don’t remember how I won.
However, as of today, the undefeated streak of ‘Runaway Ranke’ has been broken.
When I won, I didn’t remember the process, but not this time.
It was even for a short time, but from the point when it started to be pushed back in earnest, the congestion was lifted and the spirit returned.
“Whoa.”
Jin wiped his forehead and caught his breath.
He was also bleeding from cuts and bruises all over his body.
There were no fatal injuries, but a few were what could be called serious.
However, if he hadn’t fought while protecting the backpack that brought Lapla Rosa’s things, it would have ended with minor scars.
“So you mean the demon.”
“Again… as a demon… to call me La… Ranke… Halowice. Now that I’ve granted your wish… You too… Be a bit more polite…”
Ranke vomited blood. He was barely breathing, with all his limbs broken.
“Yes Ranke Halowice. One grit is worth looking at. Anyway, according to your explanation, the reason why the Great Desert became like this is because after it was polluted, all forces used it as an experimental treatment plant. You mean you just liked this place and used it as a playground?”
“Yes…”
“I understand the first, but the second is not enough. You were trying to do something here.”
“It’s just… I just like it here.”
For a moment, Jin thought about what Ranke was trying to do here.
And Ranke was conscious of the travel bag Jin had been trying to keep.
Finally, aiming for it and creating an opening seemed to be the only way for him to survive.
And Jin decided that whatever Ranke was trying to do, it was a matter of knowing later.
“What should I do? let me do the rest Oh, and I’ll tell you in advance. If you’re thinking of getting out of a crisis somehow, put my backpack aside.”
Ranke lowered his head.
I kept trying even before it became such a mess, but in the end I couldn’t even get a small scratch on the backpack.
It would be even more difficult now, and as far as Jin was aware, it was absolutely impossible.
“Kill you lose…”
“That’s the plan. Is there anything you want to say?”
“A monument honoring my prestige and dignity here…”
While listening to Ranke’s will.
Suddenly, Jin hurriedly struck down the sword at the fallen Ranke.
When Kingelo’s important person fell into a crisis, he always appeared out of nowhere. It was because the iron gate of Orgal, the Demon Beast King, was formed on Ranke.
‘under! It’s been a long time since I’ve been to that damn iron gate.’
jjwoong-!
The speed at which the iron gate sucked in Ranke was a little faster. Jin narrowed his brows in annoyance and glared at the iron door.
Even after saving Ranke, the iron gate did not disappear immediately and gave Jin a voice.
[You’re back, Gene Runcandel.]
It was the voice of Orgal, the leader of Kingelo.
