Ranker’s Return Chapter 117

-No, is this a jackpot? Show the item information...
-Don’t speak alone. How much money do you need? How much?
-Leader Groupie has gifted you 666 gold coins.
-Sichuan Province has gifted you 333 gold coins.
-Reveal It has gifted you 444 gold coins.
The viewers wondered about the items Hyeonu had acquired. What type of item would have Alley Leader making a fuss? Of course, Alley Leader wasn’t lacking in this aspect. Even the items he wore were among the best in Arena. So what would make him so surprised? It was a natural question to ask.
“Thank you, Leader Groupie and Sichuan Province. Thank you Reveal It for the gold coins. I’ll make it public.”
Hyeonu saw the right amount of coins burst out and immediately revealed the sword’s information.
[Held’s Keen Sword]
[The sword used by Held, captain of the Third Knights Division. It contains Held’s magic power.
Rating: Unique
Restrictions: 900 strength, 500 physique.
Durability: 2600/2600.
Attack Power: 1600
Effect: Defense penetration increased by 20%, 15% additional dark attribute damage.]
“As you can see, the basic stats are high. It is almost within the top five publicly revealed. There is also the 20% defense penetration. My favorite thing is the additional dark attribute damage.”
It added attribute damage. This option was one of the most desired options for some rankers and magicians. It was objectively good.For example, Mascherano and Reina used attribute skills. 15% additional attribute damage was a huge effect. Attribute damage was independent of defense, so it could deal significantly higher damage. If 15% attribute damage were added to Hyeonu...
The result was unimaginable.
-Isn’t this a scam?
-It is the first time I’m seeing an additional 15% attribute damage.
-In a fight against a black magician, it seems this is better than a staff.
-Yes, it is bullshit.
-Those with attribute classes will feel sick. Alley Leader now has the dark attribute...
-The moment he puts this on, his attack power will go up dramatically.
Hyeonu immediately placed the broken single-edged sword in the inventory and equipped Held’s sword. It might be different if the seal on the half-sword were released, but it was clear that Held’s sword was overwhelmingly better in this state.
“Then I’ll go look for the next boss.”
Hyeonu didn’t disclose the information on the book. It was an item that couldn’t be disclosed no matter what. After the stream today, he would have to check it out by himself.
-Why not release the book?
-He doesn’t want to do it.
-Or perhaps it wasn’t a normal item but a quest item.
-This is chatting for show.
-It’s obviously not equipment, so what are you curious about?
‘Eh? Why?’
However, the audience wasn’t too curious. No, they gave up because they knew he wouldn’t show it. They had learned this from personal experience in the last few months. If it didn’t work, then it didn’t work. They must not go against the streamer. This was the most important thing in Alley Leader’s streams. To the audience, Hyeonu was a tyrant. Hyeonu was already in the superior position.

“Jenny, please take me to another place. I have to suck up as much profit as I can before the others come.”
Hyeonu was busy. He had to harvest as much as possible before others came.
***
[Riquid, the Fourth Knight Division Captain, has been killed.]
[Ruwein, the Third Magic Division Captain, has been killed.]
[Kallu, the Fifth Knight Division Captain, has been killed.]
Messages saying that a rebel executive was killed kept appearing. Now they were about to go crazy.
“Aren’t we just eating the crumbs?”
“We are just sucking our fingers on the side!”
“I haven’t even seen the faces of the executives yet...”
Everyone was dissatisfied. Since when had they felt this dissatisfied? They had always preempted hunting grounds and quests. The players had long left the imperial army led by Lebron and Suped. Nevertheless, they didn’t even see the hair of an executive.
“How the hell is he finding them?” Marco burst out. It seemed they were doing a good job for Alley Leader. He was picking up the fruit while they just picked up the leaves to make tea. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Still, it was bizarre. How could he find something that so many players couldn’t find, even if he had a guide? It didn’t make sense that they couldn’t find a single executive when so many people were searching.
At this moment, Patrick’s expression brightened. “Guild Leader, I have received news that the leader of the rebels has been found.”
It was Mano who found the rebel leader.
“Call all the guild members right away! Gather there now!”
***
The fact that the Mano Guild had embarked on the raid of Edward, the rebel leader, quickly spread to the other large guilds.
“Is this true? Mano found the scenario boss?” Lu Xiao, Second Dragon of the Kowloon Guild, asked the guild member who brought the information.
“That’s right. They are on the verge of the raid. They are pouring everything into it. It seems they are betting everything on this.”
“What is the probability of failure?” Third Dragon Liu Shei interjected with a question.
The guild member answered, “At least 80%. There is an 80% chance he will fail.”
“The evidence?”
“According to the analyst of the guild powers, the Mano Guild doesn’t have the skills to kill the scenario boss.”
“…? It is impossible for Marco? Even with all his buffs?” Liu Shei repeated because he couldn’t understand.
Marco was an undisputed ranker, in both level and the arena rankings. Yet it was impossible for that Marco? Then that meant victory would be uncertain for Liu Shei.
“Just looking at the battle against Alley Leader, he will be pushed one-sidedly without pure energy. Additionally, this is the scenario boss, so there is no need to look at combat power. You can’t resist without pure energy. The tankers’ shield will be slashed apart like radishes.”

Liu Shei and Lu Xiao understood after listening to the guild’s explanation.
“Marco alone isn’t enough.”
“It is natural that the AI is excellent since it is a humanoid monster. It isn’t attracted by aggro. It is the worst.”
Lu Xiao thought for a long time before opening his mouth and asking, “How many of the Kowloon dragons have been gathered? Three?”
“No. You and I are the only ones. We can’t get in touch with the other seven. They are either doing the third class advancement or clearing a quest...”
“Then we need an alliance.”
***
The smile didn’t leave Hyeonu’s face after he dealt with four executives. There were dropped items, but he was more looking forward to the rewards after the main scenario was over.
‘If I continue like this, it really is possible...’
At this moment, a comment came up and caused Hyeonu’s expression to crumble.
-Breaking news, the Mano Guild has launched the scenario boss raid.
-Really? The other kids hit the jackpot at the last minute.
-However, Mano is a bit too nervous. What if they’re robbed?
-It is half a gamble if you go first, but don’t you know them? They have no choice but to go.
-Excessive greed will cause ruin. I think they will slip properly this time.
‘A raid on the scenario boss? And it’s Mano?’
It was a considerable achievement to kill four of Alkyl’s executives. However, compared to the scenario boss, it was like a firefly under the sun. The truth in the game was that the last blow was important. Hyeonu’s actions right now were just for fun. Other people might not know it, but Hyeonu did.
“Do you know Edward’s location? It is hard to miss this.”
Just then, someone sent a whisper to Hyeonu. The whispers continued for a long time.
“Everyone, let’s go to the raid.”
Hyeonu would participate in the Edward raid.
***
A second round of talks was taking place on the other side of the rebel base. The things that differed this meeting from the first was the cold atmosphere and the fact that the Mano Guild wasn’t present.
“How will we do the order?”
However, some things didn’t change. Gang Junggu was still in charge of the talks.
“Do you want to do rock, paper, scissors? Or do you want to draw lots?” Gang Junggu proposed the rules alone while everyone else was silent.
Rock paper scissors or drawing lots—this meant leaving it to luck. Then complaints were heard from all over the place. How could they leave such a huge treasure, the scenario boss raid, to luck?
“Isn’t that too much? I’d rather hold a duel. How about doing a ranking through a tournament?” The words were spoken by Red Bull America’s ace, Mascherano.
“Really? You want a tournament?” There was another man who opened his mouth. It was a man wearing a child’s mask. He was Alley Leader—Hyeonu.
“Um... Come to think about it, drawing lots will be fine.” Mascherano gave up on the tournament.
This angle wasn’t possible. If they challenged Alley Leader in a fight, he would get the first priority to challenge the raid.
“Then let’s use the usual method. Tell me the order you want to do it. Then I will draw lots to decide the order of competition,” Gang Junggu arranged it neatly.
“Who wants to challenge the boss next?” He immediately followed up with deciding the raid challenge order.
It was unknown when the Mano Guild would be wiped out, so the faster they set it up, the better it would be. However, nobody was willing to challenge the boss next. Doing a raid with no information was crazy. The question was when the information gathering would be completed. Usually, no matter how fast, it would take several failures to figure out most of the patterns.
The second challenge meant targeting the boss with minimal information. The risks were great. This was why they didn’t want to challenge it. Normally, they would just casually close their eyes and scream, but no one would have such guts in the main scenario.
...Except for one person.
“If others don’t want to do it, then I will. I don’t have to wait. It’s great.” Hyeonu raised his hand. He felt confident and didn’t feel any hesitation.
Silence flowed. No one could open their mouths. They hadn’t expected Alley Leader to raise his hand here.
“Do you have any parties or guilds to do the raid with?” Mascherano asked with a doubtful look.
“No? I’m going to do it alone. Or does anyone want to come with me to hunt the scenario boss?”
Once again, silence dominated the space. Even Kim Seokjung didn’t speak. This time, even Kim Seokjung couldn’t step forward no matter how reckless his personality was. After all, he was sitting here on behalf of his guild, New World.
“Then the second place will be assigned to Alley Leader. Which guild wants to be third...”
Hyeonu no longer took part in the talks. Leaving Gang Junggu’s voice behind him, Hyeonu exited the meeting room. Seeing as his turn was set, he thought it was a waste of time to hang around.
“Now, everyone. Spit out the information you’ve collected or give me the link to the Mano Guild’s stream,” Hyeonu begged the viewers for information about the scenario boss, Edward.
It was time to gather information.
