Ranker's Return-Chapter 908

Chapter 908

The cogs started to gnaw at the blade part of the axe. They pressed the axe from four directions. Then a shockwave exploded from Raccoon’s axe and the cogs were bounced off. The cogs were pushed back at once. The axe advanced as much as the cogs were pushed back. It wasn’t fast, but it spun with a heavy weight.

Thus, there was more pressure. The rotation of the axe that was over 100 meters in size was frightening enough to give people the chills.freℯ𝓌e𝚋𝐧𝘰vℯl.𝐜𝚘𝗺

-Uwah... I think at least one castle will fly away if hit by that.

-He was hiding something like that?

-Crazy.

-It is cool to see the member of the god tribe fighting, but... I am more drawn to Raccoon.

-This is the beauty of the orcs.

-I’m going to create an orc character right now.

The viewers were enthusiastic about the primitive force shown by Raccoon. It was clear when viewed with the eyes that Luke’s technique was more gorgeous and elegant. However, they were fascinated by Raccoon’s raw power.

‘This is why melee classes are more popular than magicians.’

Melee classes that fought monsters at close range were obviously more difficult than ranged classes like magicians and archers. However, they were always overflowing with challengers. They rushed in while saying they could do it. Most of them faced setbacks after a short period of time. Those who tasted the limit from the tutorial, at the earliest, or the second class advancement, at the latest, would all fall out.

It was why rankers and streamers who played melee classes were so popular. It was a longing for what they didn’t have.

‘This... I can’t even use Summon a Giant Sword...’

As the viewers were caught up in the battle between Luke and Raccoon, Hyeonu was in the midst of his analysis as he watched their battle. He thought about what skills he should use against Raccoon and Luke respectively in order to hold on.

‘I can’t do anything right now...?’

It was impossible to cope no matter how much he thought about it. He couldn’t think of a way to stop Raccoon’s axe or Luke’s cogs. It wasn’t just a lack of skills. He was pushed overwhelmingly when it came to power.

‘I have to wait quietly.’

Hyeonu secretly thought that Luke was more formidable than he expected. He was pushed back by Raccoon every time and the strength he showed in battle wasn’t as ridiculous as it was now. Therefore, he was thinking about fighting in person even if the previous fight with Raccoon made him a bit discouraged. However, it was a complete miscalculation.

‘Ragand was severely weakened.’

Luke was different from Ragand. No, Ragand was too weak. This was something that Hyeonu didn’t know.

‘Or was Callioraks ridiculously stronger...’

The source of his misjudgment was Callioraks. Callioraks overpowered Ragand too easily. This was why such an image appeared in Hyeonu’s mind.

‘I almost died in vain.’

Hyeonu sighed lightly. He almost died with the live stream turned on. He almost suffered his first death in front of tens of millions of people.

Even as Hyeonu was feeling relieved, Raccoon and Luke were fiercely exchanging blows. The difference from before was that the four cogs floating behind Luke joined the battle. Now a total of eight cogs were flying in the air with an eerie sound.

“Is that all? Then the secret arts aren’t a big deal. It is just technique.”

Raccoon burst out laughing as he hit the flying cogs one by one. The cogs were clearly a threat, but they weren’t too fast to be unable to react to or too strong to stop. Raccoon had the ability to stop all eight at the same time. For Raccoon, the cogs were just such an attack.

“The only thing that has developed after a long time is your mouth.”

Luke’s expression stiffened.

‘Even if I win, I think I will need to devote at least a few decades to recovery.’

He pretended to be calm on the outside, but it wasn’t the case on the inside. Little by little, his anxiety expanded. Defeat wasn’t coming, but he felt like it was impossible to win without damage. It had been a long time since he felt this way. It was something he had only felt a few times in the past. It was a feeling he received only in the days when he fought against the giants.

‘There is no way an orc can be like them.’

Luke shook his head slightly. He couldn’t admit it. An orc was an orc. It was clearly an inferior species than the ra tribe.

“What I’ve shown so far is just a joke.”

Luke raised his folded fingers. The eight cogs that were approaching Raccoon rose high into the sky. At the same time, they started to divide. One became two and two became four. The number was increased to the point where it covered an entire empty area in a short period of time.

The stretched cogs covered Raccoon’s surroundings. The cogs spun quickly. Once the rotation reached its peak, the appearance of the cogs disappeared and a hemisphere seemed to have formed around Raccoon.

-Isn’t this a complete dome?

-Do you need a dome to fight like this?

The viewers were busy laughing at the white hemisphere made by Luke. It was because it didn’t look like an attack skill.

-Uh? Isn’t this crazy?

-What is that?

-Is that an attack?

Just then, the white dome changed. White lasers started to shoot from the surface of the dome toward Raccoon. It wasn’t just one or two. It felt like the dome itself was heading toward Raccoon. The lasers were shot in a dense manner.

“I can see why you were kicked out. You only mastered crude miscellaneous skills...”

Raccoon ignored the oncoming attack and burst out laughing. That alone made a difference. The white lasers approaching Raccoon started to disappear. At the same time, cracks formed on the surface of the dome.

“It isn’t just a laugh. It seems to be Fear. At this point, it is enough for players to die just by listening to it, right?” Hyeonu said with trembling hands. This was a really scary sight.

-The Fear alone shows such a strong power.

-I think he can kill just through the Fear alone, right?

-I think it will take another 10 years to kill Raccoon.

-It is really going to be 10 years. I don’t know how many levels you would have to gain to hold out against that.

The viewers had the same reaction as Hyeonu. Destroying an enemy’s attack with just the Fear—it was an incredible sight.

‘I don’t think it is just Fear...’

Hyeonu thought there might be some secrets behind Raccoon’s Fear. He was certain that the Fear alone would never produce such a result. At this moment, something entered Hyeonu’s vision.

‘The flashing light of his eyes… it became deeper.’

At the same time, a red haze was blooming around Raccoon’s body.

‘Fighting Energy Emission!’

This was the result of a mixture of Fear and Fighting Energy Emission. The moment Hyeonu made such an inference, evidence proved that his inference was correct.

“If you don’t have anything else to show… just die!” Raccoon screamed and the red energy spread out from his body like wildfire.

At the same time, the white dome shattered like broken glass. The shadow of a person shot out from the broken dome. The identity of the figure was naturally Raccoon. He had prevented the opponent’s attack, so it was natural to fight back. Raccoon swung the axe from top to bottom, splitting the space vertically.

Luke stood at the end of the split space. Luke had a bewildered expression unlike before. He couldn’t hide his feelings. It was natural. The secret art that he was so proud of collapsed at the sound of laughter. It would be even stranger if he was fine.

‘Stop it first.’

However, that didn’t mean he could stand idly by. He had to stop the attack in front of him or he would be dead. Luke used magic power to boost his secret arts. Now he understood. The secret arts were essential to prevent Raccoon from attacking.

Luke waved his hand and a small barrier appeared in front of his barrier. The white barrier blocked the green pure energy that cut through the space. The green pure energy encountered the white barrier and dug in little by little. At this moment, another green pure energy came flying in.

This time, there was a violent explosion. At the same time, Luke’s white barrier shattered in a single breath. He didn’t know how it would've ended if it was just once, but the barrier wasn’t enough to stop it twice. Luke saw the green pure energy in front of him and stretched out both hands. Luke quickly flew backwards while his body was half bent over.

Raccoon jumped into the air like he wasn’t affected by gravity and rushed toward Luke. Raccoon’s axe didn’t stop in the meantime. It wasn’t fast, but kept moving heavily.

“I think his idea is to end it when he has the chance. It is to avoid dragging out the time to give him a chance to reverse the situation.”

Hyeonu admired Raccoon’s combat.

-Right, you should push when you get the chance of victory.

-You will be ruined if you don’t commit yourself.

-By the way, Raccoon is really strong.

-How much has he been going easy on his opponent until now? It is overwhelming.

The viewers also marveled at the force that Raccoon showed. He was literally overwhelming. He wasn’t pushed back at all and kept rushing in.

Right now.

A few seconds later.

Even after a few minutes.

It would be the same.

“He will end this lightly.”

Hyeonu looked at Luke, who was moving passively, and predicted the future. Luke was still being pushed back and forth by Raccoon’s attack. It didn’t seem like there would be any change in their composition in the future.𝒇𝚛e𝘦wℯ𝑏𝓃𝑜νℯ𝒍.co𝗺

-I agree. Raccoon is the winner.

-Now he just needs to win.

-It can never be overturned unless there is something like a special move.

-Is it time to leave soon?

The viewers agreed with Hyeonu. They had discerning eyes as well. They knew it was never easy to reverse a situation that had tilted to this extent. They also knew that the only thing to watch out for now was a powerful blow.

‘If the viewers know this, then Raccoon must know it as well.’

Sure enough, Raccoon’s attacks were really safe. In fact, there was nothing safer than coming forward. From the beginning, Raccoon’s attacks were unreasonable.

Strong and heavy—these two words were enough to describe the movement of the axe. At this moment, Hyeonu saw Luke start to collapse. Bloodstains were visible all over his body. Additionally, the movement of magic power wasn’t the same as the beginning. His momentum had died down a lot.

‘My turn is slowly coming.’

Hyeonu’s role was the finishing blow. The fact that Luke’s end was approaching corresponded with the time for Hyeonu to come forward.

‘The buffs I got from the other rankers are fine. Tang-E’s buffs are enough as well...’

The battle between Luke and Raccoon had lasted for around half an hour. The duration of the buffs that Hyeonu had previously received was quite long. In other words, Hyeonu just needed to use the one buff that only he could use.

‘Acknowledged Giant.’

[Acknowledged Giant has been used.]

[All stats have increased.]

Hyeonu felt the vitality that enveloped his entire body and injected magic power into the ring on his finger. A gorgeous spear appeared in Hyeonu’s hand. It was the Guardian’s Spear, the weapon to take Luke’s life.

“Everyone, I’ll be going now.” Hyeonu smiled at the viewers before kicking against the ground and running.
