The Broken Ranker

Devours Myths

 

Chapter 86

Jet (6)

 

 

 

Duanyan hastily pulled his body back while trying to draw his weapon.

His legacy was Golden Boy.

A martial god who guards the gates of the heavenly palace and manages the order of ministers according to the Jade Emperor’s command,

In terms of defense, he was considered among the top ranks even among the Committee’s Rankers.

He could somehow block this kind of surprise attack,

 

[Sacred Relic: Wooden Shield has been damaged.]

 

“Kraaaah!”

Slash!

Puhwaak!

The shield Duanyan was holding shattered and mercilessly cut through his right arm as well.

Blood spurted up.

Through that gap, a familiar face appeared, cutting through space.

A face he had seen countless times even in dreams.

Jet.

It was Lee Hyeon.

 

[Legacy ‘Goblin Dance Formation’ yearns for resolution for the vengeful spirits of the dead.]

 

‘How can this be…!’

Duanyan was greatly shocked.

He thought that unlike the past, he would be able to win sufficiently even if they met again on the battlefield…

A full four years had passed,

And during that time, he had steadily raised his ranking recorded in the .

Why is that bastard this strong?

Seeing Lee Hyeon’s coldly sunken eyes made his spine tingle.

Shiver!

“Die.”

Lee Hyeon swung up the axe in his left hand as if he had no conversation to share with Duanyan.

A blue-white flash approaching from under his chin.

Just as Duanyan’s complexion turned pale,

 

[Sacred Relic: Fire-Tipped Spear erupts!]

 

A red trajectory from the sky crossed directly between Duanyan and the flash.

Kwang!

Kurururu-

“…!!”

The red trajectory. While the Fire-Tipped Spear barely deflected the axe, Duanyan was barely able to pull his body away.

In his widened eyes,

Thud!

He could see Qing Xiao gracefully landing on the Fire-Tipped Spear stuck in the ground.

 

[Myth ‘Warrior Reborn from Lotus’ burns with strong fighting spirit!]

 

Duanyan couldn’t call out Qing Xiao’s name.

At this moment, the aura Qing Xiao was emitting seemed no less than Lee Hyeon’s.

“Yan, quickly tend to your wounds and join the battle. We’re now commencing the Jet elimination operation.”

“…!”

Qing Xiao didn’t listen to Duanyan’s words and launched her body at Lee Hyeon.

 

[Wind Fire Wheels rotate fiercely!]

 

Buaaang-

The two wheels attached to her feet rotated fiercely, spewing out rough flames and strong winds.

Qing Xiao used that as propulsion to add power to her attack.

The firepower attached to the Fire-Tipped Spear also intensified.

A tremendously large explosion followed the spear strike.

Kwaang!

However, Lee Hyeon didn’t care about her appearance and amplified Dueoksini’s fury even more.

Though there were no particular words,

Silent rage could be felt all the way here.

Kwarururung!!

Urururu-

“……”

The fierce clash of two warriors.

The moment he saw that, Duanyan instinctively realized.

‘……It was a trap, Qing Xiao. You used Xie and me as bait to lure in Jet!!’

Duanxie had toyed with the White Night Unit like toys.

Naturally, Lee Hyeon who saw this would be filled with rage.

Then naturally he would target Duanxie first.

Qing Xiao had waited for that moment and planned to strike from behind.

……Just like how they had aimed for the fisherman’s profit.

Qing Xiao was the same.

Their alliance was destined to crumble from the start.

‘So you thought that if Xie died or got hurt, I would lose my mind and join the battle…… and it would become that much easier to catch Jet?’

Duanyan wasn’t originally someone whose mind worked this well.

But strangely, his head became calm after seeing Lee Hyeon.

‘Then I will,’

Duanyan’s contemplation was brief.

‘Take the fisherman’s profit instead!!’

There was no reason to show loyalty to Qing Xiao who had used him.

Paaaat-

He turned his body and started running in the opposite direction.

Qing Xiao’s face contorted violently upon confirming this.

“You fool! If you go there, it’s rather a tiger’s den…!”

Taang!!

Qing Xiao’s voice was drowned out by gunfire.

“Aaaahhh!!”

Du Anyan collapsed to the ground with his thigh blown open while running.

Bang! Bang! Baang!

And the continuous gunshots that followed.

Du Anyan’s lower body was brutally torn apart as he rolled on the ground.

 

[The legend ‘Tale of Janghwa and Hongryeon’ fires enhanced killing intent.]

 

It was sniper fire from Kim Min-jeong and the Alpha Team providing cover.

“Ahhh! Aaaahhh! What the hell is this…!”

Du Anyan writhed not only from the wound on his thigh, but also from a curse that suddenly spread across his skin.

His blood vessels swelled as if they would burst at any moment. Blood poured uncontrollably from the gunshot wound.

Even when he tried using the cold energy he had learned from Xu Changyou (Seo Chang-woo), it was the same. Strangely, the wound wouldn’t heal.

Rather,

Puhwaaak!

An even greater backlash occurred, only intensifying the pain.

 

[The Golden Boy stamps his feet in confusion seeing the misfortune that has befallen his apostle.]

[The Golden Boy is shocked, wondering how the Bull Demon King’s demonic energy could be here.]

 

‘Bull Demon King…? Why is that coming up here,’

Just as Du Anyan was trying to force himself upright,

Whooom-

Thwack!!

“…!!!”

This time an axe flew without hesitation and embedded deeply in his left shoulder.

“You can’t escape. We’ve met after such a long time, shouldn’t we enjoy a reunion for old times’ sake, Du Anyan?”

 

[Dialogue is automatically translated by dungeon settings.]

 

Du Anyan’s vocal cords must have been damaged, as he couldn’t even scream anymore.

He could only make choking sounds with his head buried in the ground.

Even while engaged in fierce combat with Qing Xiao, Lee Hyeon never let this side out of his sight.

“I heard Seo Chang-woo gave you all something called baptism? Bring it out. I’ll take it all on.”

What was even more astounding was that despite being able to kill him easily, he didn’t.

The fact that he barely missed the carotid artery was proof of that.

The wall of despair called Jet,

Even after four years, was still as high as ever.

‘This is impossible!! He! He suffered from the Ring of Extreme Cold for four years! I trained with the Ring of Extreme Cold all this time! But! Why!!’

The problem was that this crazy bastard was looking at him with contemptuous eyes.

Before, he at least showed some respectful attitude toward him,

But now there was none of that.

He looked at him like trash.

That was absolutely unbearable.

At that moment,

Snap!

Something snapped in a corner of Du Anyan’s mind,

“…Don’t, don’t look at me with those eyes, Jet!!”

Hissss-

White frost settled over Du Anyan’s wounds.

 

[The Baptism of Bitter Cold begins.]

[The Knight of the Snowfield ‘Radeum’ opens his eyes.]

 

[Baptism of Bitter Cold]

The Ring of Extreme Cold is not a simple curse but a blessing from the ice world that cleanses the soul.

If you accept the spirit bestowed by the ring’s master, miracles beyond your imagination are possible.

-Type: Sub Skill.

-Origin: Fairy tale

 

The bleeding stopped and vitality returned.

And a snowstorm arose.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Like a marionette puppet on strings, Du Anyan’s body floated up into the air.

Taotie’s Fangs that had been embedded in his neck were naturally pushed out and returned to Lee Hyeon’s grasp.

Crackle-

At the same time, an ice sword grew from Du Anyan’s left hand.

The white frost on his body had already taken the form of armor.

He looked like a medieval knight.

The eyes revealed beneath the deeply worn ice helmet had their emotions removed, as if looking at a different person.

He moved again.

His movement was incomparably more agile than before.

Swoosh!

 

* * *

 

Qing Xiao couldn’t read Lee Hyeon’s thoughts at all.

‘Why did he give Du Anyan a chance?’

She didn’t know how he knew about the baptism,

But if so, he must clearly know that baptism was effective for power enhancement….

The baptism ritual that possessed the spirits of the knights and guards who served the Snow Queen.

Qing Xiao didn’t attempt it anymore because she found the feeling of losing her ego unpleasant, but she acknowledged its effectiveness.

“You seem curious why I’m deliberately making the fight harder for myself?”

Through the flashing lightning, Lee Hyeon smiled coldly.

Chill!

Qing Xiao suddenly felt her spine go cold.

“Well, that guy can’t die easily, you know?”

“…!?”

Bang!!

Then the gunshot rang out thunderously again.

Du Anyan, who had been charging this way, had his upper body pushed back and stopped momentarily.

But the damage was only a dented mark left on his ice breastplate.

Du Anyan snorted as if amused and charged again.

Bang! Bang! Baang!!

But the gunshots continued as well.

Belt, thigh guard, knee protector, upper arm guard, shoulder plate….

Dented marks were left everywhere.

The ice cracked slightly or got scratched, sending powder flying.

Such things could be filled in again when the cold energy rose up.

Rather, it only further provoked the ice knight possessing Du Anyan.

‘……What the hell is he thinking?’

Meanwhile, Qing Xiao kept being bothered by Lee Hyeon’s cold smile.

The thought that there might be something more.

She pushed her offensive to prevent Lee Hyeon from taking any other action.

Puff puff puff pung!

Kukuku-

She attempted a dash, roughly trampling over the snow.

 

[The Heaven and Earth Bracelet tears through the air!]

[The golden brick aims for blind spots!]

[The Cosmic Ring aims to bind!]

[The Wind Fire Wheels spin rapidly, adding acceleration!]

……

 

Qing Xiao unleashed all sorts of sacred relics that the god Nezha took pride in.

Flames surged up, and fierce winds rained down. Thanks to the Wind Fire Wheels, her body movements were also swift.

In comparison, Lee Hyeon was slow. He couldn’t easily keep up with the speed of her spear attacks.

Instead, he had destructive power.

No matter how much firepower she poured out,

 

[Dueoksini’s Rage explodes!]

 

Flash!

Kurururu-

When lightning sparks flew up, everything—flames and fierce winds alike—was swept away.

The Heaven and Earth Bracelet slicing through the air to strike the back of his neck, and the golden brick aiming for blind spots, couldn’t reach Lee Hyeon.

 

[Dueoksini’s Collar blazes!]

 

Before that, the lightning armor wrapped around his body had already deflected them all.

And,

Kwang! Bang!

Lee Hyeon somehow closed the distance with Qing Xiao while thrusting Taotie’s Fangs.

For someone who had been retired for 4 years, this level was absolutely ridiculous.

Jet,

had returned.

‘No.’

Qing Xiao gritted her teeth hard.

‘Something even greater has come……!’

The image of Gwiroae, who had overwhelmed her and Mukesh, briefly overlapped in Qing Xiao’s vision.

“Kaaaak!”

At that moment, Duanyan had somehow arrived and was stabbing an ice blade into Lee Hyeon.

The ice armor he wore was mottled with ice marks covering bullet scars carved throughout his journey.

It looked like patched-up old clothes.

Qing Xiao’s eyes flashed.

‘Wait, if this happens!’

Duanyan’s movements were much slower than at first.

His body had become heavy from too many ice marks clinging to him.

So his attacks weren’t particularly sharp,

 

[‘Sacred Relic: Banner of Extreme Cold’ activates, bestowing Ring of Extreme Cold upon the opponent!]

 

And it became a perfect situation for Lee Hyeon to counterattack.

He further enhanced the cold energy activated by the ice marks to enable the generation of even more ice.

Thanks to that,

Zzzzzzzt!!

Duanyan was instantly trapped in ice while still in the position of thrusting his sword.

A snowstorm suddenly swirled around Lee Hyeon as the center.

Whiwhiwhiwhi……!

The contradictory sight of blizzard and lightning bolts raining down simultaneously.

At the center of it all,

Lee Hyeon was smiling coldly like a phantom accompanied by strange phenomena.

“……!!!”

Qing Xiao’s eyes watching this were colored with shock.

‘How does Jet have Ring of Extreme Cold……!’

 

[Nezha rises from his seat with a shocked expression!]

 

But it was already too late.

Kwarururung!!

 

[Stack has accumulated.]

[Lightning Bolt explodes!]

 

An axe technique swung horizontally.

Plus lightning bolts pouring down from the sky.

The intense destructive power not only shattered Duanyan’s ice statue to pieces, but also completely pulverized all of Qing Xiao’s sacred relics.

Hwaaak!

As the flames were torn apart, Taotie’s vicious fangs reached Qing Xiao’s nape.

“You saw it, right?”

“……I,”

“I’m not planning to show this to others yet.”

Lee Hyeon smiled.

“So die, Qing Xiao.”

Chwaaaaak!

Puhwaak!

Taotie’s Fangs slashed roughly at a diagonal.

And,

Qing Xiao spilled blood as she fell backward like a wooden log.
