SSS-Class Ranker Return

Inverse (2)

“Now it’s a real countdown.”

Lokan, who had been stretched out for a while due to the aftermath of using the Super Geuk, flew on Kai's back for a long time.

In the meantime, the air monsters were arguing, but most of them escaped without their tails caught by Kai.

There weren't any bastards, but they were defeated by their overwhelming size and the stronger elemental power in the spirit world, and Kai didn't even bother to pursue them.

The important thing right now was not to hunt one more monster, but to protect the owner.

It didn't take long to fly without overdoing it, and a city appeared in the distance. Elyos border area. It was one of the so-called free cities.

[You have entered the Free City Peace Mill.]

“It’s a free city… … .”

However, this is not the Elyos border and conflict zone.

The borders that the Torikans were guarding were only to protect the land of the Elyos from outside monsters, and those living in the free city did not unite, nor were they particularly warlike.

murmur murmur.

Rather, the atmosphere of the Free City was peaceful and lively.

Among the dogs, there were warlike bastards and some races called problem children, but their basic tendencies were neutral and self-defense.

Rather, various races with enemies in heaven were gathered to form a chemistry.

“It’s fun.”

Among them, there were a lot of races that even Rokhan, who had stayed in heaven for quite a long time, had not seen it for the first time.

There were so many different races roaming the streets that you might wonder if there were so many intelligent races in heaven.

"Titan?"

Even among them were the Titans, who were considered only a race of destruction and destruction.

“Buy flowers! There are a lot of fresh and beautiful flowers!”

The Elyos hunting ground was also a Titan, but here, the Titan was selling flowers.

They are selling genuine ornamental flowers that are not cannibals and have a gentle and gentle atmosphere rather than their characteristic destructive and subversive energy.

At this point, even as a Rokhan, I was confused about my values.

“The titans are selling flowers… … .”

That wasn't the only shocking thing.

There were innumerable races, such as the Postman Joining tribe and Alchemist Orc, who took jobs they did not match as their occupations.

“Isn’t it a fantasy?”

“Damn!”

It seemed to be the case with Kai as well.

Kai, who came back from the daebung and sat on Rokan's shoulder, made a sound as if he agreed.

Being so embarrassed, Lokan forgot what to say and what to do and watched silently for a while.

How did this absurd ecosystem come about?First, we gathered information little by little.

"Right."

Called a neutral zone or a free city, this was a place where a few races joined forces to survive.

As the power of the Asmodians and Elyos grew, they expanded their territory and pushed them with force and quantity, and they began to gather forces to protect their home.

That alone was not enough, but the races that rarely cooperate with other races felt a crisis and joined, and they came to have some degree of deterrence.

And since the threat is still in progress, even if there is a small riot, no big problem has arisen enough to cause a race to escape.

In addition, as the power of their union was recognized, the Asmodians and Elyos also offered a hand of exchange.

The famous realm, the spirit realm, and the phantom realm did not pose a separate threat as they were united from the beginning and were too busy to keep each other in check.

In this way, free cities, which are buffer zones and cities that contain everyone, were created.

“Then the prey… … .”

It was good, but Lokan didn't like it very much.

So what do you mean by hunting to increase your strength? All races belong to the Free City, so if you touch them, the union will move.

But the answer was surprisingly simple.

"Huh? Really? Will that work?”

In the case of an individual, if a dispute arises with a specific race, arbitration is possible, but there is no compulsory matter.

In the case of Elyos, demons, ghosts, spirits, and phantoms, problems may arise because of the group to which they belong, but free citizens who do not belong to either side tend to leave it alone to resolve individual strife or resentment on their own.

[You have registered as a free citizen.]

Then there is no reason not to be a free citizen.

If you only keep the pledge that you need to increase your strength when another group attacks, there is no other compulsory obligation, so you could make that kind of pledge.

Although he received 10 million coins for the registration fee, that was the price of chewing gum for Lokan.

“Heh, shall we start hunting now?”

After registering as a free citizen and purchasing maps of free cities that only free citizens can purchase, Lokan immediately began to plan the route.

He marked the places where he could hunt most efficiently and where the most attractive prey were found, and then organized the hunting route.

"Huh?"

A strange thing stepped on Lokan's eyes as he quietly made plans while looking at the map.

He is marked with an X in a position he has never marked.

As if it were a treasure map.

“Wait, is this... … .”

Lokan hurriedly opened the quest window and found a certain quest.

“No. So what is this?”

Morteron's grudge quest had been completed and had disappeared. But the reward, Archaeologist's Legacy, was nowhere in the inventory.

It is not an automatic learning method.

Well, it's only natural that the soul can't have possessions, but Lokan had an intuition that the mark had something to do with the reward.

As an archaeologist, did he not hide his legacy as if he was hiding his treasure?

Although it is a little strange that it is a place far away from the land of the Elyos, if you think about it differently, there is also a high probability that it was hidden near the free city, which is out of the influence of the Elyos, in order not to be taken over by other Elyos.

“I’m not really looking forward to it, but… … . Shall we go first?”

Then there's no reason not to take it. Fortunately, he looked around and found that it was adjacent to one of the hunting grounds he was going to go to.

Coincidentally, it was in the vicinity of the Titan tribe.

'Titan… … .'

It is a race that is closely related to Lokan and the storm.

I had seen them hunting under the Elyos and selling flowers at the Peace Mill, but it was impossible to erase the memories of seeing them on earth and reigning as losers in the outskirts of heaven.

Because the impression at that time was so strong.

Because of that, I had no mercy or recognition for them.

In addition, there are titles and options that show strong power against the Titans, so wouldn't it be perfect for hunting?

There were very few people like this to raise the level and build a divinity as they were at least 400 powerful beings.

I also knew that it is much more profitable to level up by catching hundreds of monsters of level 400 or higher than to level up by catching tens of thousands of level 350 monsters without knowing the secret of the Majesty Master.

“Kai, let’s go.”

Lokan immediately rode Kai.

Although it is said to be nearby, because the mass of heavenly land is so large, moving using Kai rather than the wings of the storm could shorten the time considerably.

[You have discovered the Giant Mountains.]

The town of the titans was located in a place called the Mountains of the Giants.

A place that has been used as a home by the Titans for a long time.

The trees, fruits and beasts were all large species to support their diet, so Rokan had an illusion that he was in a giant country.

Do you feel like you have to transform into a raging wind or Kai into a daebung?

Looking at the appearance of huge tribes ignoring the sense of perspective, we first looked for the legacy left by Moteron.

It was marked with an X and the exact coordinates did not come out, but it was not difficult to find the location. Because Rokhan has a compass of desire.

Since he did not have a separate two-story architecture, he was able to detect a location just by taking a direction.

“Here?”

The place we arrived at looked like a ruin to anyone looking at it.

It doesn't seem to be in use now, but as if the Titans used it in the past, the objects scattered around were huge.

“Wait, isn’t it just a relic?”

After confirming that there were no Titans around, Lokan sat down and looked around for the entrance and felt something strange. The form of this relic is somehow suspicious.

“Maybe this… … .”

It was so large that I couldn't recognize it properly, but when I went up to the sky again, it became clear.

This was an altar to some god.

An altar made to honor a certain god, like the altar of the storm.

Did the titans have gods? Something sparkling came into Rokhan's eyes as he looked around quietly, stroking his chin.It was the operating device of the secret passage.

After a long time, the title effect was activated, showing a hint about the secret device.

Druck, Druck.

As soon as I touched it and activated it, a small passage opened above the altar.

Koo, Koo, Koo.

With him, a strong vibration came from afar. Titan is coming this way.

“Sheesh.”

I thought about grabbing one and taking a look at what happened this way, but I immediately gave up on the irregular vibration I felt.

not one Many Titans were heading here.

Druck. kuung.

Rokhan had no choice but to throw himself into the secret passage.

It's not a problem to fight, but if the secret passageway or space collapses, you're the one who loses.

As we glided inside, the secret passage closed by itself, and a strong vibration continued several times above it.

But he just wandered around as if he hadn't found this place.

He may have to fight back when he goes out, but that's okay. Rokhan first paid attention to the ground, and he concentrated on the secret space he had entered.

“Isn’t there such a thing as a trap?”

Since it is the legacy of an archaeologist, it was possible to decorate it with traps and monsters like a wizard's dungeon, but unexpectedly, Moteron's legacy quickly appeared. It seems that it was only used as a secret warehouse.

I used the Bell of Truth to check if it was a trap, but there was no such thing.

“Is this all?”

However, the legacy was a bit disappointing.

Most of the books were on the bookshelves in case someone wasn't an archaeologist, and I didn't really notice any ancient equipment.

There were quite a few small tools and stone shards, but in fact, a book could do it all.

[Moteron's Ancient College Summary Volume 1][Epic]

A total of thirty-six volumes.

I looked to see if there was a mix of skill books, but it would not be an exaggeration to say that this is The Lord's setting book.

The history of each race and the stories of each god are written in full.

Of course, there were weaknesses and quest information that could be obtained from them, but among them, there were even some races that have now disappeared and have been forgotten.

“Uh-huh, that’s why pen people… … .”

Lokan was truly disappointed.

He was hoping for an ancient item, or at least a hint to find a treasure map or a place where an ancient deity slept, but he said the set-up was everything.

With a disappointed expression, he turned the bookshelf.

Regrettably, he found a book with information about the Titan and flipped through the bookshelf.

“… … uh?"

And he discovered something completely different from what he knew.
