SSS-Class Ranker Return

Hellhound (2)

five times. It was the number of times Hellhounds were annihilated in the same place. also in a row.

However, until the final annihilation, they could not identify Lokan's identity. Is it an ally or an enemy, or is it that they are missing out on a special event?

It was when I was contemplating whether or not to take the sixth challenge.

“Captain, have you seen it?”

“What is this bastard!”

I'm not in a good mood, so my words can't come out softly.

A harsh sound came out of Goddok's mouth, but the guild member who brought out his words did not give in and continued talking as if it was really important.

“YouTube! Lokan YouTube!”

“Fuck, it’s only when you’re browsing that bastard YouTube right now that you’re in this bastard’s mental state… … !”

Goddok's expression, which had been patiently listening until then, had turned viciously.

'I've been wiped out five times now, and my morale is bottoming out, but I'm sitting down looking at other people's YouTube'

The opponent shouted as if frustrated by Goddok, who raised his eyes as if he was about to be pulled out of the team leader's seat at any moment.

"no! That bastard is here now! Lokan!”

“What”

Goddok's expression went blank for a moment. He didn't take the situation right away.

Even so, he hadn't checked the video posted by Rokhan yet, so he didn't know that the first entrants in the Central Continent were Rokhan, not them.

In this situation, how can he accept the out-of-the-box ‘someone is here’?

After having his eyes unfocused for a few seconds, he hastily accessed YouTube through The Road homepage.

“Hey, this, you bastard!”

And he intuited. That the 'bastard' that appeared whenever they tried to cross the canyon was Rokhan.

He is nowhere to be seen in Rokan's video, so he can't be identified by his appearance, but other than the introduction of Taimura, the 4th city, he can tell that he is here by looking at the videos he uploaded.

Taimura, grassland fields inhabited by ostrich-like monsters, gorges with thick gray mist and zombies attacking, and even plains and docks that they dig through with all their might!

In Lokan's video, the places they had arrived and where they had to go were filmed in reverse order.

In other words, he came here from Taimura.

“Find this bastard right now!”

fast!

Goddok never concealed his anger.

He was the one who thoroughly avoided things that had no chance of winning and was not profitable, but at this point, it is not strange that his eyes turn and his mind wanders.

Moreover, doing this meant that Rokhan was already demonstrating a clear hostility towards them.“Why is this bastard so mean to us?”

No matter how you think about it, it was embarrassing. That made me even more angry.

Because there is nothing like a close battle between them and Rokhan other than the fact that they are on the same central continent.

In the first place, it was impossible to have a contact point because I had gone through the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd cities to completely different places.

As a result, all sorts of thoughts came to mind.

If I had to find another point of contact, it was that they bought a lot of the items they bought from the visitor's shop on Crossroads.

Then, maybe someone of them bought the equipment that Lokan was looking for, but how do they know that the auction house guarantees the anonymity of both buyers and sellers!

“It just keeps us in check. I'm afraid I'll catch up."

After thinking for a while, Goddok solidified his thoughts.

this is a conjecture I don't know what method they used, but it was clear that Rokhan, who arrived on the Central Continent a little earlier than them, was trying to get in the way somehow, fearing that his latecomers would be overtaken by them.

"word! Yes, the answer was words!”

Goddog, who was grinding his teeth, shouted at Rokhan, who was somewhere nearby, as if he had realized something. It was a mixture of strange catharsis and joy.

“Captain, what do you mean?”

“It’s a horse, you bastard! How to cross the canyon!”

"uh… … . Ah "

At that time, the other guild members who were guarding the marina also made an expression that they would know. You know what Goddok wants to say.

A forcible breakthrough using the horse's mobility.

Just as the person presumed to be Lokan drove the mobs towards them, they also decided that if they sprinted on their horses, they would be able to get rid of slow-footed zombies that wake up late.

"i See. Keeping the momentum alive... … . But, these people are all ”

Goddok's guess was half the correct answer. It is true that mobility is the solution, but to break through on a horse like Lokan, the ability to slash the zombies' necks from the top of a horse is essential.

However, equestrian martial arts that require a different level of control than waving weapons on a normal flat ground were not so easy.

And another real problem stood in their way.

“Crazy, how can all these people ride a white bone horse! For now, we will move on to the elite minority.”

That's 'money'. To buy a horse, a mount, one person would need a huge sum of 100 gold.

Although they were the top performers in one of the tertiary cities, they did not have enough time to pay all fifty people a white horse.

All funds were invested in equipment and consumables to defeat the marine monsters attacking the liner right away and advance to the central continent.

Of course, even at this moment, other guild members across the sea were steadily collecting funds, but that alone was not enough.

So Goddok made a decision.

“A few elites… … is it "

The guild members' expressions became uncomfortable when they heard that.

Up to this point, they have competed against each other, and have crossed the sea over the hurdles of death, but again they break through the canyon with only a small number of people.

Of course, after entering Taimura like that, I was not comfortable with the fact that I would buy higher-level equipment or obtain high-quality equipment through farming, and then sell it to create a foundation for others to jump over.

Perhaps it is the team leaders who are chosen.

Among them, depending on the supply and demand of funds, some of them will be delayed, so the battle over noticing has intensified.

“I found it! Ah, no, it has appeared!”

At that moment, someone's scream was heard from not far away.

As Goddok said, he really found Lokan.

"Hi guys "

It wasn't exactly what he found, but Lokan, who was hiding nearby, revealed himself.

If the level of the stealth skill is low, it is normal to be detected even if you go nearby, but because the level difference is so large, it is impossible to find it even close.

Thanks to that, Rokhan listened to all their conversations.

'That's a good response.'

He smiled inwardly.

It's not because they're really good. No way. If it had been, I would have gone astray with any cunning words.

But now, there was absolutely no need for that. If you leave it like this, it's obvious that you're going to self-destruct.

If you buy a white horse, you will throw away your money, and in the process, you will squeeze the guild members and lose your network as you see fit, and as you repeat failures, it is visible that the loss of equipment and experience will only increase.

Hopefully, the latecomers will catch up, and if you're lucky, you'll be trampled. Of course, by Lokan's standards.

If that's the case, I might be able to blow my nose without using his hand.

“You bastard, do you have a grudge against us… … .”

“What are you doing?”

But after that, it's not Lokan. He would probably die of a vase.

He's already been annihilated five times, but that's just an indirect kill using mob driving.

That is why they showed more of their future.

Because you have to kill anything yourself to get into the castle!

“Come on, I don’t need a conversation like this.”

And hellhounds, including Goddogs, had the same personality.

They admit that Rokhan will be at a higher level than them, but they think that being ‘strong’ means something else.

In fact, they came to this place by biting and dragging people with a higher level than themselves.

In an instant, the poison in the eyes of dozens of people was young and began to move in unison.

"detection!"However, there was no foolish act like recklessly rushing. Their way is to find out the opponent's weakness and keep biting it!

As if one rogue user first threw a jab, he used his foresight to check Lokan's level.

“Damn, unverifiable!”

It's not like I'm not a Lokan who won't defend myself for a day or two like this.

Lokan, who has already had the effect of blocking seven or 100 observations using a consumable called 'Curtain of Mist', watched what they were doing with only a happy smile.

“Let’s see how long it lasts! Formation A!”

Thanks to Lokan's consideration rather than consideration, the Hellhound was able to have the formation he wanted.

“I won’t make you regret it!”

"Five "

[Guild 'Hellhound' used the formation effect 'Strength of unity (D)'.]

‘What else do I say… … .'

It wasn't that the liner wasn't attacked at all, but when I asked how he kept it at this level, I thought it was because of the formation effect.

Formation effects that monsters drop with a very low probability like the skill book can be stacked with other buffs, and they often have special effects that cannot be obtained with normal skills, so it is quite useful.

‘Ah, I guess I should get that too… … .'

Dozens of people are showing their teeth and growling towards him, but Rokhan's actions are as if they were out for a walk.

The Hellhound revealed a demonic beast when he saw Lokan thinking differently, as if he didn't care about their actions or their attacks.

“I’ll pay you a price for arrogance! let's go!"

Surprisingly, the leader of the guild was Goddok.

Even if the guild leader dies, nothing changes, but considering that it is common for him to leave his guild members with his guild members, even if he is confident, it was quite a shocking thing.

‘It has to be the best.’

This is possible because you are confident in your skills.

As The Lord does not have a separate job called ‘monarch’ that can create a guild in the first place, it is possible to hand over the position of the guild leader to the best person, or to accept the guild member after competing one-on-one as if the guild leader would break a dojo.

Hellhound was also a case in which people gathered in that way.

“Cute cubs.”

And that was the problem. Excessive confidence in one's abilities.

If we had met later, we would have been able to gauge the strength of the other person and bend our pride, but now was an immature time.

In addition to the confidence in his ability, the arrogance of advancing to the Central Continent that he had just before was added, revealing the recklessness of fighting even though he could not grasp the opponent.

[Justice defense is established.]

At the same time as the skill was activated, their names were displayed in orange in Lokan's field of vision.

self-defense. Only for this battle, it was recognized as having met PK.

Rokhan's ruthless violence began.
