SSS-Class Ranker Return

Dragon Hunt (1)

The place where Rokhan and Droxh once entrusted themselves to was none other than the realm of the Lion King.

It was calculated that neither Elyos nor Asmodians would be able to move freely if they were under the protection of Gaokan, one of the most powerful beings in the neutral zone.

It's not that they're afraid, but it wouldn't be a problem if they were destroyed like a border town wherever they went.

The punishment for the destruction of the village is also weak as it is not under the absolute rule of someone like the heavens or the demon world, so similar things could happen if they were prepared for sufficient compensation.

“Heh heh, did you do something pretty interesting? It’s like looking back at my old self!”

Fortunately, Gaokan, who is not the type to be afraid of anyone, gladly accepted them, rather, he was very interested in what Lokan was doing.

“Have you ever defeated the Elyos, Gaokan-sama?”

“It was like that when I first came to heaven. In the end, they gave up and backed off, but at that time, I was already a Grand Master, and there was divine intervention. But you're not like that? What are you going to do next?”

"well. Would I be the same? Once you get to the Grand Master... … . It should stick properly. I am confident in dealing with the majority by myself.”

“I will. You just see what you're doing. Hmm, then how do you get to the Grand Master? Because the quest is quite grand.”

"That too… … . I have something in mind. There are a lot of people targeting me, so I can fill it up quickly. So, by the way, can you help me?”

“You want help? That would be fun. Would you like to hear what I can do for you?”

Actually, the easiest way is to party up with Gaokan and go hunting.

Since he is a character with a territory in a neutral area, it may be difficult to intervene in battles with Elyos or Demons, but if he helps Lokan and goes hunting, he would have been able to easily fulfill the quest completion condition by catching only monsters.

But Rokhan was well aware that there was no way to hear it.

Gaokan was willing to help because he knew that Lokan wouldn't do anything by borrowing his force.

It was the same thought as Rokan, so the request he was making had to be different.

“Please join me in the dragon hunt.”

"what?"

Suddenly, a look of surprise appeared on Gaokan's face.

But even for a moment, he grasped the intention behind Lokan's words.

"Right! Is that a good idea?”

And he gladly accepted. Lokan already knew well that he had been preparing for dragon hunting for a long time. That the preparation is final.

All that was left was Gaokan's decision, and virtually all preparations had been completed.

That's why Lokan suggested it.

“You can trust me.”

Conquest of the mountains is essential when hunting dragons.

Clearing out the monster horde and organizing the guardians around the dragon's rarity was probably more difficult than hunting the dragon itself.If you take too much power from there, you may not have enough power to face the dragon, and if you sweep it out slowly like in guerrilla warfare, the dragon may change its residence or replenish its troops in the meantime.

The dragon races were great enough to be more than that.

Therefore, Gaokan did not accept Lokan's proposal as a 'dragon hunt' like the time with the Black Dragon. A horde of monsters and a guardian's sweep. Lokan said that he would relieve the trouble.

After all, what he had to do was not to hunt dragons, but to complete the quest conditions.

‘The Dragon Mountains are enough.’

mutual understanding.

Gaokan smiled wildly, accepted it, and expressed a small concern at the same time.

“No matter how fast, it would take two weeks, would it be okay?”

"of course. I also needed time.”

However, a slight delay is not a problem. The reason Lokan came here to avoid the pursuit of the Elyos and Demons was just to buy time.

At the same time, it took at least one to two weeks to develop a strategy that could take one step closer to completing the quest while simultaneously resolving the two risks.

“Then I will start preparing.”

When an alliance that wasn't so formed was formed, Gaokan took Droxch instead of Lokan.

In order to hunt dragons that inhabit the heavens, preparations different from those of black dragons were required.

The black dragon Carpago was a decrepit dragon, but the dragons here were still alive.

In that sense, the appearance of craftsmen equal to each of the Grand Masters was of great help to Gaokan.

It was an opportunity to further improve the quality of his weapons and increase his power.

While Droxh was reduced to a production slave again, Lokan quietly left Gaokan's estate.

“Polymorph.”

Gmortan, who changed his form to the form of a demon and was frantic to find Lokan, moved to the demon realm where he ran rampant.

“Are you asking for a rumor?”

"okay."

“Most demons must already be aware of this. Of course, there are many people who don't know about the Elyos, but... … . All right. It must mean something. The difficulty is not high, so I will only accept 5 million coins.”

Just to spread rumors. It is possible to obtain information from information merchants, but it is also possible to spread separate rumors.

The rumor that Lokan spread by spending 5 million coins was surprisingly simple.

It is said that the Elyos are chasing Lokan like an ally.

Just like Gmortan wanted Rokan a bounty, he was angry beyond that and wanted to catch him, kill him, and imprison him to make him no longer active.

It was news that could be discovered with a little bit of attention, but it was written by Lokan himself to spread it faster. Let the rumors go around and reach the ears of Gmortan.

‘Okay.’

After spreading the word like that, the army of Gmortan went deep into the area they were hunting to find Lokan.

“The Elyos want to join hands with Gmortan?”

“What nonsense! If those bastards are talking, they must have a plan!”

And he spread small rumors to his Beasts.

It would be dismissed as nonsense now, but it was a calculation that if this was repeated and some rumors were added, it would be passed on to Gmortan.

“Well, you can’t do it if you don’t believe it. However, I heard that the demons I know came from a neutral area. Not long ago, the heavenly army that was trying to catch him was also smashed?”

A rumor mixed with truth and lies. After throwing it aside, he found the realm of the Demon Realm, Touruby, which belonged to him in the past.

‘It was completely smashed.’

I wondered if Gmortan would have put it under his control, but Touruby was in a state of ruins. The repair did not proceed, and he did not tolerate it.

Rather, he is in a state where the Beasts are stationed and searching for those who can be called the remnants.

Since it was a Rokan that had no contact in the first place, there was no way there would be any remnants, but it seemed that Sharak and Kirito had not been caught yet.

The werewolves and vampires who became prisoners became prisoners and hostages, and executions were carried out every day.

I thought it might appear if it was Sharak, a vampire, but a Werewolf or Kirito who has a strong sense of kinship.

'I'm a little sorry?'

It all happened because of him, so Lokan felt a bit of remorse, but that was all. Because it was just a relationship that used each other anyway.

After completing his duties in the Demon Realm, Lokan returned to the domain of the Lion King.

He could no longer accumulate experience points, but as a pastime, he went around the hunting grounds adjacent to the territory to satisfy the quest conditions.

“Polymorph.”

And three days after Polymorph's cooldown period returned, this time, it transformed into an Elyos, passed over to the heavens, and started leaking information in the same way.

“The beast trainer Gmortan is chasing him?”

“It seems that the little bastard even put a bounty on him, arousing quite a bit of anger.”

“But even then, would you even think of joining hands with us?”

“Hmm, it might be worth reporting this. I don’t know about the united front, but only that guy can have a cooperative system.”

“He is the one who harassed the god of heaven and the priests of the gods, so even if he borrowed his dirty hands, he must be punished!”

Likewise, it was news about the demon world.

Because he is a high-level demon, the famous beast trainer Gmortan, who is also famous in heaven, is looking for Lokan even with a bounty.

And the news that they want to join hands with the heavens.

Again, this was fictional, but not entirely impossible.

Just as the two camps on earth held hands over the ancient emperor and the fall, if we had a common enemy in front that must be dealt with, wouldn't it be possible to join hands with each other due to their mutual interests?‘Perhaps it will come true.’

Lokan believed that a united front would certainly be established.

They hate each other as if to kill each other, but in this case, it's not a dialogue between the races, it's just a temporary alliance to deal with Rokhan.

But why the hell are you doing this? If they really join forces, they will become a force large enough to put pressure on the Lion King, making them even more dangerous.

Only Rokhan knew the truth.

“Are you ready?”

Whether he knew this or not, Gaokan, who put all his energy into thorough preparation, finished all preparations in ten days, less than two weeks as predicted.

He led his entire army and began to invade the dragon's territory.

The leader is, of course, Rokhan.

Other than that, the troops that Gaokan personally raised stood at the forefront, boasting their ferocious momentum, but it was also the Lokan that stood out.

“Frenzy incarnation, whole body incomparable, soulless awakening!”

From the start, Rokhan unlocked all his powers. The reason I volunteered and took the lead in the first place is to fulfill the quest conditions.

He proved Gao Khan's choice to be right, as he single-handedly wiped out a large tribe of heroic orcs that dwell at the beginning of the Dragon Mountains called Samali Horn.

“Oh, I think it’s a little bit more now?”

Gaokan looked at it leisurely.

He was originally the one who took the lead without missing out in this kind of battle, but it was necessary to stock up on strength as the opponent was the opponent.

As a commander, he had to look around and prepare for any possible threat.

‘He’s not coming either.’

However, there was no attack from the Elyos or the Demons, which we were all worried about.

During the downfall of a great tribe of heroic orcs, and the downfall of a tribe of vampire trolls and mad ogres, their army, let alone a reconnaissance force, did not appear.

The moment he appears here, the moment he interferes with the Lion King's event, he turns him into an enemy.

There is no way that he was unaware of the event of the Lion King who moved his troops in a grand way, and rather than making such a reckless choice, after this event, he would have decided that it would be easy to press the Lion King and make Lokan vomit.

When that time comes, no matter how much the Lion King is, his army will be reduced and his strength will be weakened.

‘First, fill in as many numbers as possible here.’

Because of this, as the battle went on, Lokan could only focus on the enemies in front of him.

Anyway, most of the monsters were able to deal with it even after the duration of the rampage had ended and suffered the aftereffects, so the number rose sharply.

Monsters appeared endlessly enough to fill most, if not all, of them, and Lokan swung the battle ax with a willing heart until exhausted.

So, after fighting like crazy for a few days, I was finally able to climb to a certain point in the Dragon Mountains.

Dragon Rare.

The large and overbearing cave was set in front of them.
