Chapter 161

Episode 161.

Thunder Dragon Descent .

An arrogant name that claims to summon the thunder dragon that rules the sky.

While it doesn’t actually summon a real thunder dragon as the name suggests, everyone who witnessed its spectacle unanimously said the same thing.

They saw a dragon made of lightning.

Kwaaaaang-!

[You have used Thunder Dragon Descent .]

A thunderous roar that seemed to tear the world apart echoed through the air.

In a world where ears were deafened, lightning struck down silently.

—-!

It was a dragon. Lightning in the shape of a dragon.

The thunder dragon struck down upon Dohyun as if plummeting vertically from the sky.

Flash-!

Then blue light flickered and swept through the surroundings.

A very brief moment.

When the light that flashed by in the blink of an eye disappeared, the surrounding landscape had changed. The trolls that had been gathering had vanished without a trace.

Truly an instant kill.

-My goodness…

-Risa…!

-What is this… Unbelievable.

That wasn’t all.

Crackle- Snap-

A 10-meter radius area was being scorched by electrical fields.

A troll that survived by staying outside the range blinked its eyes blankly, then touched the electrical field and staggered backward in terror.

[You have defeated a Blue Forest Troll.]

[You have defeated a Blue Forest Troll.]

…

[The Blue Forest Troll takes damage from touching the electrical field.]

This was the overpowered nature of Thunder Dragon Descent .

Not only did it deal area damage just by activating the skill, but it also spread electrical fields in the damaged area, creating zones that inflicted continuous damage.

‘Even if the damage isn’t fatal, it’s still annoying.’

And above all, wasn’t it incredibly cool!

Dohyun was genuinely moved.

The moment the thunder dragon descended from the sky and entered Dohyun’s body, his body tingled and he felt an extreme lightness.

And then the area damage that unfolded!

‘Damn… The romance is insane.’

Every time he met the Sword Master, he honestly thought he was cool more than once or twice.

And that hadn’t changed even now. It was natural.

Dohyun’s current Thunder Dragon Descent was at a weak level compared to the Sword Master’s Thunder Dragon Descent.

No matter how strong Dohyun was for his level, compared to the Sword Master who had completed his final growth, wouldn’t it be like a drop in the ocean?

‘The Sword Master’s Thunder Dragon Descent was pure exhilaration itself.’

Flashing here and there.

Seeing his head and entire body dyed blue, his body wrapped in electricity, one naturally thought that the title Sword Master suited him perfectly.

The crackling sounds could be heard from far away, which said it all.

When such a Sword Master’s Thunder Dragon Descent was summoned, the area damage was beyond imagination and was often useful as a damage dealer in boss battles.

‘Still, it’s a one-shot kill against trolls at least.’

Usually when used at this level, it’s common not to expect much from area damage.

Whether it would work on bosses would need to be tested in trials, but this seemed quite useful.

‘That’s more than enough.’

No, it’s more than enough.

Crackle- Snap-

The true value of Thunder Dragon Descent wasn’t in its area damage.

Electric current flowing from Dohyun’s body sparked and its distinctive sound echoed. Jihad’s eyes sparkled at this.

-Owner… What is that appearance?

“Why, is it cool?”

-Totally! Can’t I do that? Can’t I wrap myself in darkness like that?

“As if that’s possible. That would be overpowered.”

-Ah…

Leaving the disappointed Jihad behind, Dohyun chuckled and examined his own body.

[The power of the thunder dragon dwells within your body, increasing all speeds for 100 seconds.]

[The power of lightning dwells within you, allowing you to inflict ‘electrocution’ damage on hits with an extremely low probability.]

[You can use ‘Lightning Teleportation’ twice during the duration.]

As the message said, Dohyun’s body was filled with the power of lightning.

Even though there was no significant movement yet, he could clearly feel his body becoming lighter, and the sparks flying around stimulated his sense of romance.

When he turned on customization to check, even though his whole body wasn’t blue, his hair was tinted a light blue color.

Somewhere between white and blue, like the color of lightning.

‘It’s definitely disappointing compared to the Sword Master.’

Well, it would be ridiculous to compare with someone who was the overwhelming number one in the martial artist category.

Come to think of it, he was curious about what job that guy was doing now. Among those who handled Thunder Dragon Descent, he didn’t think he’d seen anyone suspected to be the Sword Master…

‘Well, that’s not important right now.’

He was using a Legend skill for the first time, so what did that guy’s current situation matter?

Right now, he intended to fully savor this moment.

Crackle.

One step.

As he moved forward, electric current sparked.

Crackle-!

And when he kicked off the ground hard, Dohyun became a streak of lightning.

[You have used Lightning Teleportation.]

Huh?

Just as something seemed to flash, the moment a troll opened its mouth at the blue something that had approached right in front of it.

Dohyun swept past the creature.

Swoosh-! Slice, stab!

Then came the sound of flesh being cut and pierced, followed by blood spurting half a beat later.

[You have defeated a Blue Forest Troll.]

[You have obtained Quality Troll Hide.]

Dohyun didn’t stop there and immediately rushed toward the trolls nearby.

A diagonal distance of about 14 meters. There was no need to use Lightning Teleportation.

‘So light.’

The speed increased by Thunder Dragon Descent was covering everything.

Crackle, snap.

Graaah! Graaaaaah!

Moving instantly to take down one.

Then sliding sideways again to rush and take down another.

Every time the crackling sound echoed, death cries rang out from various places. Charlie couldn’t help but applaud at the sight of truly traversing the forest with complete freedom.

Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap!

At Charlie’s appearance of not sparing his seal-like applause, Jihad asked as if bewildered.

-What are you doing? What are you doing right now?

-How could I remain still witnessing this movement that borders on divine skill? Do you truly feel nothing at all!

-…Uh, it’s cool? I want that hair too?

-You’re bald!

-What the hell? I’m not bald, this is all hair! Right, Eliza?

-Li, Liza…. Liza…!

Suddenly the three of them(?) started bickering.

As if adding harmony to their voices, crackling sounds beautifully layered, and each time trolls in the forest died.

In the forest that had become a stage, Dohyun was excitedly slashing trolls with a smile that wouldn’t leave his face.

‘Wow, legendary form is insane…!’

Constantly amazed by the first legendary experience of his life.

The emotion of experiencing his first legendary wouldn’t disappear overnight, and so Dohyun repeated this process for days on end.

* * *

-What’s Kaiser up to these days?

When hanging out and chatting in the Godddong community, Kaiser’s name would come up.

Not always, but mainly when Kaiser had done something or when there hadn’t been talk about him for a while….

This case was the latter.

-Right. It’s already been 5 days since he entered Pratel?

-Wow, feels like yesterday but it’s already been that long? Someone in Pratel speak up.

It had already been 5 days since he entered Pratel but no particular news had come, making them curious.

If it were before, he would have stirred up something by this time.

So players who were in Pratel all started chatting without exception.

-He’s been hunting nonstop. The speed was insane.

-For real, it’s creepy how he goes around beating up trolls while smiling. And why is that undead legion so strong?

└Undead legion? The one that small guy in robes uses?

└Yeah but something’s weird. He was leading around outlaws? I think he was even leading around a king but maybe I’m imagining things?

└?? How does he lead that around. Aren’t you mistaken?

└Nah I saw it too. It was clattering around beating the shit out of mobs.

└????

It was all incomprehensible talk.

But since there weren’t just one or two people who witnessed it for 5 days, replies kept coming that supported the claims.

This wasn’t the end. The real thing was still left.

-I think Kaiser pulled a legendary skill?

-Huh? Suddenly?

-There’s a rumor he’s using Lightning Dragon Descent. But it seems right. When you’re hunting, something keeps flashing in the distance making crackling sounds.

A story about a legendary skill no less!

In Godddong where everything was made of grades, legendary was precious in any field, but skills were especially so.

Since there are only a few per class, they’re the most precious and being skills, they stand out.

-Lightning Dragon Descent? That’s a martial artist skill.

-No seriously what is Kaiser’s class lololol Wasn’t he a swordsman? This isn’t just weapon master level.

└For real is he an all-master;; This doesn’t make sense.

└? Don’t know his class? He’s a god.

└Oh right. As expected of Kashin….

-Cheonma’s gonna have a stomachache again lololol He makes a disgusted face whenever Lightning Dragon Descent is mentioned.

└lololol why is he really like that. The legendary skill he has seems stronger.

Naturally attention was bound to focus, and all kinds of stories poured out.

-But why legendary? Doesn’t someone like Kaiser normally carry around at least one legendary skill?

-That crazy bastard was carrying legendary grade from the start. Isn’t it already three now?

└He’s just…. Let’s consider him an exception. How does that make sense in 6 months. He didn’t even spend much money, his luck is beyond comparison.

└You just pray to that person. Seriously fucking crazy.

-Come to think of it, hasn’t PK increased too much lately? I heard groups are seriously going around killing, why do I suspect that crazy bastard.

The chat was full of frantically pouring stories, but soon it led directly to one topic.

-What? Kaiser got a legendary skill? Wow…. This is truly a monumental moment.

└For real…. Our gacha slave finally pulls a legendary.

└?? What are you talking about?

└Seeing you can’t relate, you must not know Kaiser from the Demroc days. Kids these days just won’t do tsk tsk

└No, so what is it.

Fans who knew Kaiser from the Demroc days were getting emotional and moved.

A situation incomprehensible to those who first encountered Kaiser in Godddong.

An veteran player who couldn’t stand the frustration posted a thread.

[Kaiser had no legendary skills during the Demroc era.]

The content of the post with that title wasn’t very long.

It was just about how he was the only top ranker from the Demroc era without legendary skills, and was the gacha slave who collected the most diverse bricks.

But the impact was definite.

-Crazy, so he was 1st place without a single legendary skill?

-Wow, is this a god? Seriously insane.

└But how do you not have a single legendary lololol He must have played for 3 years, does that make sense?

└Ah, even gods were helpless before gacha….

└No wonder I heard Kaiser always appears at lucky spots in the gacha gallery, guess it was true lololol

└Suddenly Kaiser feels a bit relatable. He was the same kind of person as us after all.

└Hey! That’s blasphemy! Do you want to get targeted by the Kashin Church!

└Ah, ahhh….

Because it was such an absurd story.

In other words, didn’t that mean he maintained 1st place without a single legendary skill among formidable rankers like Demroc.

It was nothing short of insane talent.

-Wow, he was 1st without legendary skills, but now he’s pulled legendary too, so how strong will he become?

-For real he’ll probably destroy everything. Will he get 1st in Pratel too~!

-He’s still a latecomer though. It’s not 1 year late but 1 year and 6 months, fat chance lololol He hasn’t even stepped on the Empire yet.

└For real maybe it’s because he’s deified but people seem to have unrealistic expectations. Guys, big expectations lead to big disappointments.

-How do you get 1st in Pratel lolol Forget 1st, he probably can’t even make top 10.

└Isn’t that a bit much? He showed something with 3 consecutive 1st place reclaims.

└Pratel is different though. Seeing how guys like Demroc, Empress, and Ahdeo couldn’t do shit, you know? It’s not a graduation quest for combat classes to begin with.

└True words. Honestly this is right~

So some had expectations, while others mocked with negative words.

It was when opposing stories were exchanged, setting the community ablaze.

-Huh? Hey, Kaiser appeared.

-Where?

-He entered the city after 5 days. Huh? He’s going straight? Looks like he’s heading to the royal palace?

-…? Huh? He already hit 57?

-No, there aren’t even quests until entering the royal palace. It usually takes at least 3 weeks, how is he 57 in just 5 days?

The center of attention himself made his appearance.

And at an unbelievable speed too.

Disbelief naturally rose at the utterly unbelievable news, but they were soon forced to believe it.

-Amazing, Kaiser went in to meet the king!

Because leaving everyone’s doubts behind, Kaiser confidently set foot in the royal palace.

Kaiser, it was the moment he entered full-scale trajectory.
