Ranker’s Return

Chapter 800



Chapter 800

“And… Larenix isn’t weak either. Why? Didn’t he say it? He will win if he only has the holy relics? It is that type of difference. One holy relic is enough to overturn things,” Liru continued to evaluate Larenix.

‘Is he that strong? Larenix?’

The content was very surprising. Hyeonu, who had seen Larenix twice in person, was even more surprised.

“By the way, how do you know that I met Larenix?”

“I know because I saw it with both eyes. The thing hanging around the neck of the bear you are carrying around. Aren’t they the holy relics of the giants? Do you think I don’t even know this? Aren’t you taking me too lightly?” Liru spoke while glaring at Hyeonu.

“How can I see Liru in that way? I always respect you,” Hyeonu replied with a deep smile. It was a face full of pretense.

“The imperial family of the Luos Empire are descendants of the giants. It has faded after being mixed with human blood, but there are sometimes mutations.”

Larenix exhibited the characteristics of the giants, which was a rare situation. He was one of the most prominent members of the imperial family of the Luos Empire.

“Of course, that is at a weak level compared to the pure blooded giants. It would’ve been difficult for him to be a prominent warrior among the giants, let alone the chieftain. If Floyd, not Larenix, had fought, the Luos Empire wouldn’t have been destroyed.”

Even Larenix was on a mediocre level compared to the giants.

“So the giants were wiped out due to internal conflict? It wasn’t from outside influences?”

“The god tribe and demons? The giants didn’t die because of them. It is the giants themselves who killed the giants. It isn’t for nothing that a species with less than a million members ruled the entire continent.”

Hyeonu could feel affection for the giants and a strong sense of pride in Liru’s words.

‘He still cares about them.’

“You haven’t forgotten them?” Hyeonu asked Liru, who had a soft smile on his face.

“How can I forget? They were like my children… so you have to do better. You are the only giant left now.”

Liru made eye contact with Hyeonu. Hyeonu felt a bit burdened by Liru’s eyes.

“Strictly speaking, I’m not a giant, but their successor, Liru. However, I always have the word ‘giant’ etched in my heart.”

Even so, the words that came out were a positive response to Liru.

“Call that bear over. I will give you a gift for coming this far.” Liru laughed lightly at Hyeonu before looking at Tang-E.

“I will call.” Hyeonu raised his hand and waved it beyond Liru. Then in the distance, two small bears started to rush quickly toward Hyeonu.

“Master dude.”

“Master dude.”

Tang-E and Gom-E both ran toward Hyeonu.

“He is here, Liru.”

Hyeonu held out Tang-E in his arms toward Liru.

"Hmm… You’ve grown up well. Child, let me ask you something. Do you like the sun, or the moon?” Liru examined Tang-E carefully before asking a question.

“Um… A warm day is better. The night is bad.”

Tang-E thought about it for a moment before quickly coming up with an answer.

“The sun is better? As expected… You are for me.”

Liru smiled brightly at Tang-E’s answer. He reached out his right hand and stroked Tang-E’s head.

“It is a good choice. The sun is warmer than the moon.”

Golden magic power poured out of Liru’s hand. Light flowed down from Tang-E’s head like water.

“In the past, there were very few giants who could handle the holy relics. It is because the conditions are too strict.”

“The conditions are strict…?”

“I have to like them. These are holy relics that I made.”

Hyeonu burst out laughing. This was the only condition for bringing out the true power of the holy relic.

‘The conditions to become a great chief or supreme shaman are just…’

Hyeonu shook his head several times before focusing his gaze on Tang-E. It was because the light flowing through Tang-E’s body started to fade. The light that engulfed Tang-E’s body was all absorbed by Tang-E’s bracelet. Tang-E’s bracelet completely changed in appearance. It had retained the old-fashioned feeling from before, but now it felt completely different due to absorbing Liru’s magic power.

“By the way, he won’t be dragged to the temple if he wears this, will he?” Hyeonu instinctively frowned as he asked Liru.

“There can be no such idiots. If it was kneeling down after seeing him, then I don’t know.”

Liru frowned even more severely than Hyeonu. He thought that Hyeonu’s worries were too outrageous.

“Additionally, isn’t it something you just have to stop? Why are you so worried? If you can’t discuss it, then fix it with your fists.”

Then Liru gave Hyeonu some advice.

It was a primitive solution—violence.

“How can I defeat the temple? It is also Liru’s temple, the largest temple on the continent.”

“That is nonsense. I won’t be supporting the shrine while there are a few people behind you. This type of nonsense is absurd…”

Liru cut off Hyeonu’s whining at once. The last bastion of the temple was Liru himself. However, Liru wouldn’t support the temple if Tang-E’s bracelet caused a problem. Then the temple would never be able to beat the helpers that Hyeonu could call. It wasn’t a matter of winning or losing. Their holy land itself could be blown up within a few days.

“Additionally, he isn’t the only one with a holy relic. You have two as well.”

Liru’s hand moved from Tang-E to Hyeonu. An intense light poured out from Liru’s hand. Hyeonu closed his eyes at the golden light that filled his vision. The golden magic power divided and moved toward Hyeonu’s finger and wrist. Two beams of light shot for a long time at the giants’ holy relics that Hyeonu was wearing.

[The breath of Liru, the heavenly father, is imbued in Infinite Valor.]

[The breath of Liru, the heavenly father, is imbued in Hidden Symbol.]

Hyeonu felt the light gradually disappear and opened his eyes carefully. These two message windows welcomed Hyeonu.

‘Check it…’

Hyeonu’s heart started pounding like crazy. So far, Hyeonu had seen items being upgraded with his own eyes. It was just the first time he had seen a change in an epic item.

‘Item information.’

Hyeonu immediately checked the item information.

[Brave Warrior Who Embraces the Sky]

[One of the three holy relics of the giants.

‘Courage’, a sacred item possessed by the greatest warrior of the giants.

Symbolizes the infinite courage of the giants. A state in which the true form has appeared due to the approval of the heavenly father.

Rating: Legendary

Restrictions: 4,000 strength, 3,200 physique

Effect: All stats +1,000, ‘Acknowledged Giant’ can be used (cooldown time: 4 hours.)]

[Acknowledged Giant: All stats are increased by the sum of all the stats.

Duration: 15 minutes.]

‘Legendary?’

Hyeonu’s eyes widened at the item rating he saw for the first time.

Legendary—a new item rating beyond epic had emerged.

‘Is this the first time in Arena?’

Someone unknown could’ve obtained a legendary item, but he was certain that this was unlikely.

“How about it? Do you like it? Do I look a bit great now?” Liru approached Hyeonu, who was carefully examining the ring on his finger, and asked.

“I really respect you, Liru. I will definitely help if anything happens to the Liru Temple in the future,” Hyeonu answered with sincerity this time. To be honest, up to now, he felt like he would just leave because he thought there was no more reason to meet. Now that he received such a huge reward, he had to unconditionally be good to Liru.

“It sounds like that hasn’t been the case until now? Am I mistaken?”

Liru slightly glared at Hyeonu. However, Hyeonu didn’t even blink and just smiled.

The emperor, Lebron, and even Raccoon. He couldn’t let his emotions get out of control.

“You are mistaken. How could I do that to the sun god? I am wronged.”

Hyeonu shook his head. At the same time, he removed the item information window of Brave Warrior Who Embraces the Sky and opened the item information window of the bracelet.

[Authority that Contains the Sky]

[A holy relic that is secretly handed down to only the chiefs of the ancient giants.

They have communicated with their faith, the heavenly father.

Rating: Legendary

Restrictions: 4,000 strength, 3,200 physique

Effect: All stats + 1,000, ‘Leader of the Sky’ can be used.]

[Leader of the Sky: In battles where the sky is visible, stats will increase by 100%.]

The bracelet also had a splendid effect like the ring. The rating was also legendary and the item effect had a different continuous skill than the ring.

‘The ring has explosive combat power. The bracelet adds strength to my usual combat power.’

The combination was excellent. It had an overwhelmingly better synergy effect than the previous item effect.

‘Is there a set effect?’

Even without the set effect, it was already overwhelmingly better than the previous holy relic set. It was pointless to even compare them. However, Arena didn’t disappoint Hyeonu’s expectations.

[Giant Acknowledged by the Sky (2/2) has been equipped.]

[The two part set effect is applied.]

[All stats +1,000.]

[Giant of the Sky can be used.]

[Giant of the Sky: All stats will increase by 50%.]

Once again, a set effect existed. It was also at a much better level than before.

Hyeonu started to lose control of his facial expression once the situation became this way. Both the corners of his mouth and his cheekbones were on the verge of rising toward the sky. He was desperately holding it in and it soon reached the limit. The things he gained in an instant were too great to bear.

“Laugh if you like it. I’m not a god who cares about such things. You can laugh if it is good.” Liru patted Hyeonu on the shoulder. It was normal to laugh if it was good.

“Now, retrieve the remaining legacy of the giants. You might’ve already found some of the things arranged by Larenix, but there are still some left. One of them is what I said was lacking when I first saw you.”

Liru made eye contact with Hyeonu. There was sorrow in his eyes. Obviously, the sorrow wasn’t directed at Hyeonu.

‘The legacy of the giants…’

“Okay, I’ll definitely find it.”

Hyeonu nodded heavily. Then a message window filled with text appeared in front of Hyeonu.

[A quest has been created.]

[Retrieve the Legacy of the Giants]

[Find the other arrangements left behind by Larenix, the last emperor of the Luos Empire, and collect the legacy of the giants in one place.

Rating: SSS+

Conditions: Find the legacy of the giants 0/3.

Rewards: Experience, ???]

‘Three?’

Liru’s words emerged as a quest window. It was a perfect situation for Hyeonu. Rewards were obtained and he also got a quest. The only problem was that he didn’t know how to solve the quest yet.

“It won’t be difficult to find the legacy. You will find it even if you don’t look for it. And.. goodbye.”

Liru snapped his fingers. The world was tinged with gold. Nothing was left in the place where the light passed. Hyeonu and the descendants of the Luos Empire disappeared from the divine world.
