Episode 290 Rapid Fire Ranker (2)
“D-you…!?”
An earthquake occurred in Aidan’s pupils.
I’ve heard so much about it, but I never thought I’d meet the person in person.
Even in raids where he is the raid leader.
“My name is Kang Jin-hyuk. You are from the Titan Guild raid, right?”
Jinhyuk briefly introduced himself.
“That’s right. My name is Aidan, the engineering team leader.”
“Wow. Wow…! Oh my god. My name is Mae-Ling. I am the main dealer of the raid.”
Meiling was also startled and stuttered.
It was quite impressive to see him fidgeting as if he had just met a famous celebrity.
“If it’s Kang Jin-hyuk….”
“It’s that Korean ranker, right? Look, Jack. That player is Jinhyuk Kang.”
“I know. It’s strange that there’s a complete uproar in various media outlets right now, so I don’t know.”
“I heard that even the masters of large guilds put aside their tricks, and that was true. Is this the first time you’ve seen Aidan look so intimidated?”
The murmurs among the raiders gradually became louder.
“What are you doing here? I understand that they left a sign at the entrance to the ruins saying that our guild is attacking them.”
“If it was that flag, I saw it too. However, something unusual was happening within the ruins, so I had no choice but to intervene.”
“This is something unusual?”
“Didn’t you feel it, Aidan? That the demonic beasts in the ruins are very difficult to deal with.”
“Yeah, that’s right. I thought something was strange, but….”
caught.
The corners of Jinhyuk’s mouth turned up.
“Maybe someone intervened. Otherwise, it doesn’t make sense.”
“Are you really saying that the demons did a trick?”
Aidan immediately identified the culprit.
Because they were the only ones who had a reason to do something like this.
“you’re right.”
-No, a senior manager uploaded it for testing.
“I don’t know who he is, but he must be a very evil and selfish person. For his own gain, he increased the difficulty of conquering the floor boss where the future of humanity is at stake.”
-I am the culprit.
Since I can’t tell the truth, I have to sell the demons that are properly destroyed and hiding somewhere in the tower.
“Even demons were involved in the ruins. That’s why you said it was unusual.”
“Yes. If you do something wrong, you might be wiped out.”
To be precise, it was difficult, but the bigger reason was that I had to defeat the boss alone.
Everyone’s eyes turned to Aidan.
A decision that may lead to the worst outcome: annihilation.
Aidan thought for a moment and made a decision.
“I understand. In fact, the difficulty level inside the ruins has increased abnormally compared to what we knew. Player Jinhyeok Kang also warned of the danger, so I can’t be reckless anymore.”
Whoa.
Look at this.
Is it easier to give up than you think?
“Wise choice….”
“instead.”
Aidan added a word.
“Allow me to hunt at least one named monster, even if I don’t know the boss.”
Now Aidan wants a cause.
If Jinhyeok, the top ranker, helped the Titan Guild deal with one named from the ruins that he said was dangerous… … .
That’s not a failed raid.
Rather, it was a meaningful achievement even under extreme circumstances.
Aidan calculated that and proposed the best deal he could.
‘I travel here and there as I please, but it’s like putting a spoonful in someone else’s business.’
Now, ownership of ruins and dungeons is being recognized around the world.
Each guild occupied the numerous dungeons on the stairs first. Because the rights were bought and sold.
“Okay, I guess that’s okay.”
Jinhyuk nodded.
It’s okay as long as it’s not the boss.
I also wanted to create a friendly relationship with at least one of the large guilds.
＊＊＊
With Jinhyeok joining, the deployment of the raid team was newly adjusted.
“We will penetrate the area where the name is located. Jinhyeok Kang, please save your magic power and use it when it is important.”
“Yes? No, there’s no need for that….”
“No, we have to pay for our food too.”
Aidan said stubbornly.
I really like the fact that they don’t try to free ride.
There is also a sense of responsibility.
On the other hand.
“Ha. No, Aidan. Why are you being so obnoxious? We have enough on our own.”

A man with a red tattoo on his face sarcastically expressed his discomfort.
The energy felt is by no means below Aidan or Meiling.
Another S-class.
He was also a man with a very unfamiliar type of magical power.
“Watch your mouth. It was my decision, the head of the engineering team.”
“Yay, yea. I just didn’t understand why S-class people behaved so quietly.”
The man laughed until the end.
“I’m sorry. That friend just became S-rank, but he’s still not in the mood for it. I’ll pay more attention to him later.”
“It’s okay. Well, since you’ve risen to the S-class ranks, you should be overflowing with confidence.”
“Thank you for your understanding.”
Soon, the raiding party began moving down through the cave.
Mei Ling, who had been watching to continue talking, approached me.
“Compared to player Kang Jin-hyuk, we are far below, but don’t worry too much. Even so, we are one of the Titan Guild’s main raid units that are used in the ruin raid.”
“Just because it’s one of the raids, does that mean there’s another raid coming after it?”
“Yes. If our advance team had reached the halfway point and set up a base camp, three more attack units were scheduled to be deployed as the main unit and the follow-up unit… This time, we ended up only holding on to the named area and leaving.”
Aidan, Meiling, and others were saying some unfortunate things behind the scenes. Even a man with a red tattoo on his face.
Since there were three S-class members, it was not enough for a starting group, but rather excessive force.
Three more raid units are being deployed here… … .
I once again realized how many rankers large guilds have.
Right then.
Mei Ling’s face, which had been chatting away, changed 180 degrees.
“Everybody get ready! It’s coming!”
As if her body reacted first, Meiling stretched her staff forward and began to gather magical power.
Kukukukukukuku!
“Keeeeee!”
“Keeeeek!”
A shrill cry was heard along the dark passage.
Powerful magical energy touched my skin.
[Meiling activates Lv17 ‘Chain Lightning’!]
Meiling cast lightning magic.
at the same time.
Sasasak!
Tsutsu!
Insects with red skin crawled along the walls of the passage.
The number is seventeen.
However, they are all types that cannot be looked upon lightly.
Pazzutz!
A hand sign formed, and yellow sparks flew out.
Fuuuuuuu!
The lightning pierced one bug and continued to the next.
It was a lightning magic powerful enough to burn the inside to black, but… … .
“Keeeeee!”
“Keeeeek!”
I just slowed down for a moment.
The bugs were still alive and well.
“how……!?”
Meiling muttered in disbelief.
However, it was clearly visible to Jinhyeok, who has ‘eyes of greed’.
The burnt flesh is rapidly regenerating.
“Prepare for the next cast right away! In the meantime, we’ll block it!”
So now it’s the tanks’ turn.
[Aidan activates his unique ability ‘Vanguard’s Promise’!]
[Physical defense and magic defense increase by 100% for 3 minutes!]
[The monster’s aggro is focused on the tankers!]
Aidan struck the ground with his raised battle axe.
Quaaaang!
The bugs that were targeting Meiling and the dealers immediately turned and headed towards Aidan and the tanks.
Sharp claws, huge shields, and heavy blunt weapons collided head-on.
“Take care not to get aggro!”
“Hill! Keep pumping the cycle without stopping. Quickly!”
A fierce battle followed.
A close encounter where a moment’s inattention could lead to death.
Measure-like linked movements and splendid wide-area dealing were displayed.
In particular, the sight of Meiling tying up more than 10 insects and Aidan smashing them to pieces with a battle ax was something that I couldn’t help but admire.
however.
‘This is going to take all day.’
In Jinhyuk’s eyes, all of this seemed slow.
This does not mean that the rankers of the Titan Guild are not up to the level of S-class skills.
only… … .
From an efficiency standpoint, the way they did it was very bad.
Dealing with insects with regenerative abilities required precision striking rather than wide-area dealing.
Above all, is it because I encountered enemies that were too strong?
Even if it is S-class, the level seems too low.
‘If I put my mind to it… … .’
Jinhyuk moved.
“Well, we have enough on our own….”
Aidan opened his mouth urgently.
Victory has already been achieved.
If I pushed a little harder, I could break through.
“It’s okay. I don’t have much time.”
Although no one in the raid group had noticed yet, more bugs were coming along the passage.
And at the end was the named monster, Butterfly.
Jinhyuk took out Kruger from beyond the pulsating space.
Two silver-colored pistols were gently pulled out.
“Gun? Player Kang Jin-hyuk, was your weapon a gun?”
Meiling opened her eyes wide.
Of course I thought I would use a sword, but a completely strange weapon popped out.
Isn’t that also one of the worst firearms in the Tower of Trials?
“Haha! After all, you’re saying you’re the strongest ranker by writing something like that. The strongest is a piece of shit!”
The man with the red tattoo let out a laugh.
And that sneer.
“Huh? Huh?”
The scene that followed turned into astonishment.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
Bullets rain down.
Bullets are made by changing the properties of the body.
Inject ‘Star’s Protection’ and ‘Daylight’ to strengthen bullets.
Streams of pure white light filled the air.
One per second.
The bugs, which had recovered quickly despite pouring so much effort into them, began to shatter without even making a sound.
“A gun… is it capable of close combat like that?”
It is perfect… … There was nothing to say other than that.
Destructive power and accuracy.
In addition, you can fight between bugs at a speed that is difficult for the eye to catch, and use the blade attached to the gun to fight in close combat.
It took less than 30 seconds for the insects to be completely destroyed.
Considering that the entire raid team struggled for over 5 minutes, it was an incredible performance.
“Oh my god….”
“So even among S-classes, there are ranks?”
“It’s not like there’s a difference. It’s a complete monster, right?”
“With only one person joining, hunting becomes this easy.”
“This…is it really amazing?”
The overall morale of the raid went up.
Of course, not everyone was like that.
“Damn it. It’s a close combat job, so of course you have to do that much. Why is everyone making such a fuss? Hey, go and collect the magic stones. It’s hard for porters to get here, so do it quickly!”
The man with the tattoo started to vent his anger.
“Yes? Yes. Yes! I understand.”
The lowest-ranked female player panicked and began searching among the corpses.
Anyway, someone is not wrong when they say that when about 20 people gather, there is always at least one strange person in the group.
“Stop it. I don’t have time to collect the magic stones one by one.”
“yes?”
Due to Jinhyeok’s dissuasion, the whimpering woman who was trying to extract the magic stone from the corpse stopped.
“After a while, another wave of bugs will arrive. More numerous and stronger than the current ones.”
“That can’t be possible….”
“Don’t make a fuss and just sleep. Even if bugs come, I, a noble class, will stop them by myself.”
“You’re stopping it by yourself? You?”
“Yes. Listen carefully. Johansson, the only spiritist in the Titan Guild. That is the name of this body.”
“Hoo.”
It is understandable that you are over confident.
Since I was promoted to one of the most hidden classes in the world, of course my arrogance was bound to be sky-high.
“Now! This is the spirit water of this body.”
Johansson injected magic power.
OK.
A spirit beast in the form of a small fire lizard appeared.
“Kyao!”
A small flame burned on my tongue.
“It’s a fire spirit.”
“Hahaha. But I guess your eyes aren’t buttonholes.”
A fire spirit.
Eat.
… … cute.
“Salamander.”
Jinhyuk muttered into the air.
