《Ranker's Return》Chapter 676
Advertisement
Hyeonu summoned Tang-E as he ran toward the walls of Tendmul.
“Tang-E is back! Tada!” The summoned Tang-E sat on Hyeonu’s head and looked around him. Dozens of human beings were following Hyeonu. Tang-E remembered seeing the city walls in the distance in the past.
‘There is no dangerous feeling.’
His instincts were telling him something. Today wasn’t a battle but a hunt. Tang-E looked at Hyeonu and asked, “Are you going to fight hard this time?”
“Tang-E, you need to show what you have been practicing today,” Hyeonu answered.
"Hrmm... Then give Gom-E to me. There is nothing scary when there are the two of us here.”
“Gom-E? Of course, I can call him for you. Instead, you can’t use Polymorph today. Understood?”
It wasn’t difficult to call out Gom-E. There was just one condition—Tang-E couldn't use Polymorph, which had yet to be revealed to the viewers. Polymorph had to be specially introduced in a stream first, even if it meant disclosing it later. That was several times more important than the hunt that would soon take place.
“Understood, Master dude. Go ahead and call him.” Tang-E nodded. It wasn’t difficult to satisfy Hyeonu’s condition. Rather, it was good. Tang-E had been practicing hard, but he was still more comfortable fighting in this form.
‘Later, I will fight as brilliantly as Master dude.’ Tang-E dreamt of a rosy future. Yet in order for that future to become a reality, it had to be accompanied by constant effort and terrible pain.
“Gom-E, come out.” Hyeonu created the magic spirit as Tang-E wanted. A purple bear appeared above Tang-E’s head.
“Hehe, it is high. High.” The purple bear sat on Tang-E’s head and marveled at the comfortable seat.
“Stupid little brother, come down quickly,” Tang-E snarled at the insidious presence felt from the top of his head.
“I’m sorry, Brother. I’m going down.” Gom-E quickly descended from Tang-E’s head and settled on Hyeonu’s shoulder.
“Gom-E, you follow Tang-E and fight. Don’t get hurt, but don’t waste your magic power. Instead, you can do what you want when you’re in a hurry. Understood?” Hyeonu gave the same instructions to Gom-E as he had given to Tang-E.
“Understood, Master dude.” Gom-E nodded and memorized Hyeonu’s words.
‘The chat window is going to explode,’ Hyeonu thought.
He had adjusted the settings so that no sound was sent to his live stream just before he summoned Tang-E. This meant the conversation that just occurred between Hyeonu, Tang-E, and Gom-E didn’t reach the viewers. The stream just showed Hyeonu moving his lips.
-What did he say just now?
-Why is Tang-E nodding?
-The purple bear next to him is also nodding?
-Does he know how to speak?
-I don’t know.
-Ah, it is frustrating. Really. What did he say?
Hyeonu’s chat window was a mess. They clamored for him to turn on the sound quickly.
“In addition, Gom-E, don’t speak. It can’t be discovered by other people, understood?” Hyeonu said the last and most important words to Gom-E.

“Understood, Master dude. Gom-E will close my mouth.”
“Yes, please do it well.” Hyeonu raised a hand and stroked Gom-E’s head before adjusting the streaming setting again.
“Ah, a whisper suddenly came, so I turned off the sound for a moment. I’m sorry. It is a personal matter that shouldn’t be revealed on my live stream. Thank you to the viewers for understanding.” Hyeonu gave an excuse to the viewer about a whisper that didn’t even occur.
-Why would Tang-E lower his head while you are whispering?
-Why was the purple bear nodding?
-Don’t you know that your hands will fly away if you are caught cheating?
-It isn’t like we’ve only seen each other once or twice. The pure days of being deceived by such words have passed.
-Spit out the truth, Alley Leader.
The viewers didn’t believe Hyeonu’s words at all. They naturally thought it was a lie. After all, they had eyes and could infer what happened even if there was no sound.
“Tang-E, give me the buffs.”
However, Hyeonu was several times stronger than viewers. While speaking with them, he had gradually increased his speed and was now close to Tendmul’s walls. Hyeonu ignored the viewers’ requests for the truth and drew the Mysterious Sky Sword.
The Mysterious Sky Sword made a sharp sound as it showed its appearance. Back when the Mysterious Sky Demonic Art reached nine stars, some changes occurred in the Mysterious Sky Sword. It became darker and sharper than before. Anyone who saw the Mysterious Sky Sword would say it was a great sword.
-Arena’s strongest weapon has appeared.
-There is still no one who has reached +12 since Alley Leader.
-Honestly, I don’t know how he obtained that enhancement item, but it is a scam.
-If you kill boss monsters, it will drop occasionally, even if it isn’t until the point of +12.
The hearts of the viewers were like reeds. Those who were arguing with Hyeonu quickly shifted their attention to the Mysterious Sky Sword. The Mysterious Sky Sword was worth it. Arena’s only +12 weapon—its deep blue color that occurred even without injecting magic power was truly mysterious.
“Here are the buffs, Master dude.”
Just then, Tang-E placed the buffs on Hyeonu. Hyeonu swung the Mysterious Sky Sword like a thunderbolt the moment he felt the energy in his body. A huge purple pure energy flew toward the walls of Tendmul.
“What?!!”
“Humans!”
“A surprise attack!”
“Humans are breaking in!”
The demons felt the presence of Hyeonu’s pure energy and raised their voices. The demonic creatures felt the fear engraved in their instincts and started to run wild. The huge purple pure energy flew over the demons and demonic creatures. It started to smash everything in its way, erasing everything within its reach.
[The intermediate demonic creature, the lokin, has been killed.]
[Experience has been acquired.]
[The low-grade demonic creature, the helmas, has been killed.]

[Experience has been acquired.]
[The lowest grade demon, ‘Ron’, has been defeated.]
[Experience has been acquired.]
[The lowest grade demonic creature, the jen, has been defeated.]
[Experience has been acquired.]
Message windows announcing the deaths of the demons and demonic creatures appeared in front of Hyeonu.
-As expected, he is strong.
-They are melting in one blow.
-It is almost at the level of an ice cream in front of the heater.
-By the way, I wonder what sort of specs that weapon has.
-Didn’t we see the attack power previously?
-I think it was almost 8,000 at that time.
-8,000? That is huge.
The viewers admired it as the monsters disappeared after being hit by Hyeonu’s blow. It was amazing every time they saw it. How could he be so strong? Hyeonu didn’t care about the atmosphere of the chat and moved diligently. He kicked off from the ground, jumped high into the air, and landed on the city walls.
‘Where are they?’
Hyeonu quickly turned his head from side to side. He was looking for the senior noble currently in Tendmul, but he couldn’t find them. Moreover, he didn’t even know what the high-ranking noble looked like, and now the inside of Tendmul was literally chaos. The demons and demonic creatures were running around in disorder. It was all due to Hyeonu’s attack.
‘It doesn’t make sense for me to find them from here.’
If it were the emperor or Lebron, they would’ve found the noble. They could feel magic power as naturally as breathing, so they would be able to capture the presence of the demon noble even in the midst of this confusion.
‘I think it will be a bit longer before I find them.’
It was impossible for Hyeonu to find the demon noble. This was just something that couldn't be done with his current capabilities. Since that was the case, he would change his plan. If Hyeonu couldn’t find the noble, he would make the noble come to him.
“Do whatever you want from here on out. I am going to head inward and fight. You can follow me or stay with the people outside.”
Hyeonu asked Tang-E and Gom-E for their opinions just before jumping off the wall. Honestly, he wanted to leave the two of them behind. That way, the live stream would have as little as possible of the battle scene involving the two of them. They might appear in the live streams of other rankers, but there were great differences between the live streams of other rankers and Hyeonu’s live stream. That lower level of attention was acceptable to Hyeonu.
‘But once I post it on A-World, they will pay attention to the bears for weeks.’
So, the bears should ideally decline following Hyeonu. However, Tang-E shook his head regardless of whether he knew Hyeonu’s feelings.
“I will follow you. I will go and learn. Just wait. I won’t miss anything.”
Unlike Hyeonu’s wish, Tang-E had no intention of leaving Hyeonu’s side. Rather, he wanted to watch Hyeonu fight and carve the battle into his mind to improve his skills.
“Okay, then follow along well. I am going fast.”
The moment Hyeonu finished speaking, he jumped down from the wall. To be precise, he threw himself down from a wall that was dozens of meters high, and it gave viewers a dizzying feeling.
-If you are going to bungee jump, please give advance notice.
-This surprise must be rejected.
-He should do it moderately.
-There is no fear.
-I almost wet my pants ㅠㅠ
Hyeonu’s unannounced dive frightened the viewers, but it was just a daily routine for Hyeonu. He gradually slowed down and landed in the same manner as stepping lightly once he reached the ground.
‘Let’s kill first.’
Hyeonu recklessly poured magic power into the Mysterious Sky Sword and swung it. In any case, there were countless demons and demonic creatures inside Tendmul. The power of the pure energy wasn’t low enough to be blocked by a single building.
Naturally, the power of Hyeonu’s pure energy flew through the city. Tang-E glanced at Hyeonu before hitting the magic spirit on his shoulder. “Let’s help Master dude.”
The purple bear, Gom-E, had been told to stay silent by Hyeonu, so he just nodded in response.
“We just have to hit them together. Do you understand?" Tang-E explained the plan to Gom-E.
In fact, there was no strategy. He was saying to just focus on attacking. Moreover, the explanation didn’t need to be long. Through the battles so far, he knew that Gom-E would take care of it and match him well.
“Then let’s start from over there.” Tang-E raised a paw and pointed to the demons and demonic creatures who were forming a defense that Hyeonu didn’t care about. Gom-E moved straight to where Tang-E’s paw was pointing. Despite the gravity, Gom-E shot through the air like an arrow and reached the demonic creatures.
“Grrung?”
“Puhung?”
The demonic creatures questioned Gom-E, who suddenly appeared. However, the questions lasted only a brief moment. The demonic creatures immediately attacked Gom-E when they read the hostility coming from the latter. The demonic creatures’ attacks shot through the air and smashed the ground. These attacks that were without magic power couldn’t hit the magic spirit. Their failure caused great risk for the demonic creatures.
Gom-E’s cut paw pierced the eye of a demonic creature resembling a giant praying mantis. The eye was pierced, but the demonic creature didn’t die. It continued to live with persistent vitality. Then the paw of the golden-colored Tang-E smashed into the demonic creature’s head. Tang-E grabbed the demonic creature's lifeline and cut it.
“It is a good start, little brother,” Tang-E said these words as the head of the demonic creature exploded. These words became a huge wave that returned to Hyeonu.
