Ranker’s Return (Web Novel) - Chapter 922
Chapter 922
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Hyeonu was still walking in the demon world. There was one thing that was different from before. Now the number of times he hunted himself had decreased a lot.
“Uhuh. Once again, your magic power was excessive. I said you should use it moderately. Moderately.”
Callioraks clicked his tongue at the sight of the purple flames that burned the giant demonic creature in a single breath. It was an excessive use of magic power. There was a big problem with Tang-E controlling his strength. It wasn’t a fatal problem right now, but it would definitely be a problem later.
‘He is excellent when it comes to simply handling magic power... I wonder what he has experienced.’
To be precise, Tang-E had problems with his eyes, not his magic power control. He couldn’t properly recognize the level of the opponent, so it was natural that he couldn’t use his magic power properly. However, it was inevitable. Tang-E’s growth was really fast, but the growth was largely due to Hyeonu. Most of what Tang-E did was cast magic using a lot of magic power. By the time Tang-E consumed some of his magic power, most of the monsters had already died or were in a state where they couldn’t care about Tang-E.
Callioraks was unaware of this fact and could only speculate that Hyeonu might’ve contributed to the creation of this state for Tang-E.
“Hiing... It is difficult. I don’t know.”
Tang-E understood what Callioraks was saying in his head, but he couldn’t actually do it. He just couldn’t calculate the right amount of magic power. If he reduced the amount of magic power, then he couldn’t kill the demonic creature, while increasing it meant his power was excessive. He couldn’t find a middle ground.
“That guy is doing a good job...”
Callioraks did something he shouldn’t have done.
A comparison—no one would be happy to hear that they were inferior in comparison. It was the same with Tang-E.
“So what if Master is good...?”
Tang-E shook his head and took a deep breath. He looked discouraged no matter how he looked at it.
“That isn’t it...”
Callioraks didn’t know what to do. It was natural. It was the first time he had seen Tang-E like this.
“I think Callioraks made a mistake this time.”
Hyeonu cleaned up the remaining demons and demonic creatures at this time and approached while shaking his head.
‘I can do it because I’ve been playing games for over 10 years in real time.’
“Comparison is an act that hurts a child greatly. Additionally, Tang-E and I can’t be compared. I might look like this, but I am quite experienced.”
Hyeonu was well aware of what Callioraks was talking about. It was a basic skill for rankers. Calculating the monster’s health and using the appropriate amount of magic power—this wasn’t an option, but a necessity. It was inevitable since they had to kill as many monsters as possible with limited magic power and magic power recovery potions. Additionally, their magic power falling below a certain level was like gradually losing the ability to cover a crisis. Saving magic power was just in case.
“Tang-E doesn’t have to develop the ability right now.”
It was impossible that Hyeonu hadn’t discovered this aspect of Tang-E until now. He had thought about it a few times, but he quickly erased these thoughts.
“It will come naturally over time. Until that happens, I will be by Tang-E’s side.”
A crisis wouldn’t come in the first place. Hyeonu would be by Tang-E’s side when walking around the continent and there were numerous Marionette Bears on Bung Bung Island. There would be no crisis as long as they were there.
“Come to think of it, that is correct. I was in too much of a hurry.”
Callioraks completely agreed with Hyeonu. This was his mistake. Tang-E was different from his former self, who was forced to fight for his life without a place to rely on. There were many strong guardians by Tang-E’s side.
‘I am also one of them... probably.’
Callioraks had already given Tang-E a lot of affection. He was going to step out if there were any problems, although it was more important to prevent that from happening.
“I understand. From now on, I will just teach you the secret arts.”
Callioraks carefully stroked Tang-E’s head.
‘By the way, did he finish it?’
Just then, Hyeonu remembered something about the secret arts.
The ra tribe and ran tribe—it was Callioraks’ words about combining the secret arts of dealing with opposing magic power attributes into one.
“Callioraks, have you completed the new secret arts technique?”Hyeonu carefully asked Callioraks.
“The secret arts? It is done, but it is just the basics. I’m going to slowly create the rest. There is plenty of time.”
The thing that Callioraks perfected was precisely the foundation of a secret art based on the chaos magic power. A concept more than this hadn’t been established yet. However, he wasn’t nervous or in a hurry. It was because Tang-E, who would learn the secret arts, was still weak. The basics were enough. The rest of it would be taught step by step.
“That’s right, I think that is enough for Tang-E. He is a child who is still lacking a lot.”
Hyeonu nodded and agreed with Callioraks. At the same time, he called out Tang-E’s skill window.
‘Tang-E’s skill window.’
Hyeonu’s eyes moved quickly as he scanned Tang-E’s skill window. His continuously moving eyes stopped at one point. There were other skills created that hadn’t been there before.

‘There are two more.’
In addition to the ra tribe’s secret arts, which were formed from eating the essence, both the ran tribe’s and Callioraks’ created secret arts were in Tang-E’s skill window.
‘He became much stronger after coming to the demon world.’
Hyeonu wasn’t even envious now. It was a tree that he couldn’t climb anyway. He didn’t even look at it. Getting Tang-E stronger was a really good thing for Hyeonu.
‘It is hard for me to grow so rapidly.’
Hyeonu already had too many things piled up. It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that he got everything he could get.
‘I need to aim for level 500 or... I need to get more amazing items...’
It was safe to assume that there was little chance of such rapid growth like Tang-E.
“When will we meet Renfelvik, Callioraks?”
Hyeonu was starting to feel impatient now. There was a modest achievement. He naturally wanted to get away from Callioraks and start hunting. It was a crazy hunt to level up.
“It is just around the corner. At the current pace, it will take four days,”Callioraks replied without any hesitation.
“Four days? There isn’t much time.”
Hyeonu nodded. Four days. It wasn’t a long time. He could bear that much.
‘I don’t think an accident can happen during this time.’
It was too short a time for anything to happen. Definitely.
***
Hyeonu and Jamie Moore met in the arena. It was a meeting that would probably be the last one.
“Today is the last time, Jamie. Are you nervous?”
“I’m trying not to be, but I don’t think there is anything I can do about it. I am trembling and my heart is racing.”
Jamie Moore put his right hand over his heart. His heart was beating quickly.
“Take it easy. It is nothing different from usual. Well… in fact, you won’t really be able to hear what I am saying right now, but you will know once the ranking battle actually begins.”
Hyeonu understood the tension that Jamie Moore was feeling. Most people were nervous just by playing the ranking battles alone, although not as much as Jamie Moore.
‘Jamie Moore has to do it in front of so many people...’
It was natural to be nervous.
“I understand. It will work out somehow once it starts.”
Jamie Moore took a big and deep breath. It was so that his heart that was about to burst could calm down even a little bit.
“Then I’ll get started right away.”
Hyeonu asked Jamie Moore for consent and immediately started preparing to turn on the real-time streaming. Soon, Hyeonu’s hands stopped moving. At the same time, Hyeonu’s temperament changed. The sharpness disappeared and a relaxed and bright feeling emerged.
“Hello, viewers. I am Alley Leader.” Hyeonu bowed toward empty air.
-Hello.
-Today is the last one.
-It is the end of this ridiculous challenge.
-Now that he has been through the bone breaking pain, it is time to see the results.
The viewers who received Hyeonu’s greeting noticed today’s content by looking at the arena behind him. Of course, there was also a clearer method of determining it.
[Last challenge of Alley Leader's Alley Leader Academy Season 2.]
They could tell today’s content just by looking at the title of the live stream that Hyeonu had just modified.
“I won’t say much today. It is the day when Jamie Moore will show the results of his grueling training. Thank you for the support.”
Hyeonu turned his body halfway toward Jamie Moore, who was standing next to him. “I just want to say one thing.”
-Go ahead.
-What is it?
-He is putting bait in advance.Just in case it fails.
-I think that is right.
“Don’t snipe, really. I’ll know just by looking. If you get caught, then I will chase you forever. Haven’t I been called a dog before?”
Hyeonu’s words were completely different from what the viewers thought. It was advice. They were words that had never come out of Alley Leader Academy until now.
-Ah, right.There was that.
-It has been pretty severe lately.
-It is good to snipe since the level goes up.
The viewers immediately recognized what Hyeonu meant.
Snipers—it was referring to people who intentionally started the ranking battle at the same time to meet the opponent. It had happened before, but it was even more extreme these days. It was because the higher the level of the players, the easier it was to show the skills of the rankers or players.
“Jamie, start the ranking battle straight away. You will probably be matched immediately.”
Hyeonu released a fierce pressure before glancing at Jamie Moore. Just then, Jamie Moore’s figure disappeared. A ranking battle started immediately. It happened because his ranking was too low.
“Now, it is Jamie Moore’s bronze medal challenge. It is starting.”
