Chapter 107 – Red Dragon’s Lair (13)

The first thing Sungjin held up was the Red Dragon’s Scale Armor . It looked like it was an item made of Khal Gal’s scales judging from the size and the colour of it .

Sungjin held it in the air as he ran . The Operator’s information screen soon popped up .

Redrun – Red Dragon’s Scale Armour
Legendary Breastplate
Protection 43%

Passive Skill
Dragon Scales (Red) – Reduce damage from Fire by 20%
Dragon’s Rage (I) – Each hit taken increases stack of Dragon’s Rage by one . Maximum 25 stacks .

Active Skill
Dragon’s Breath(Red) – Consume all stacks of Dragon’s Rage to fire Dragon’s Breath .

Armour created from Khal Gal’s scales .
Although the scale is much smaller, it could recreate Dragon’s Breath .

The information screen shook up and down as he ran, but he could understand its core features .

‘Ooh’

Sungjin immediately

“Equip”

It had already been ten chapters, but he had not a single armour on his chest, and now he obtained a legendary class item .

‘I can now use Dragon’s Breath… but how does it work?’

He didn’t know its effects, but he would eventually come to know what it could do . Next was the most important ring .

Red Dragon Ariane had said ‘it can alter your fate’ and Soldamyr was deeply impressed with the ring that he held up .

Aio – Ring of the Great Sage
Unique Legendary Ring

Passive Skill

Great Save (Blue) – Allows casting of every Blue Magic Spells .

Active Skill
Empower Magic (V) – Increase Magic power by 5 times for 30 seconds .
Usable once a day .

Ring containing Anatol’s Power .
He had created items like this ring from a very young age .

The most immediately noticeable feature was the fact that it was a Unique Legendary Tier Item; an Item only one person in the entire world was allowed to use .

Seeing how a veteran mage such as Soldamyr had accepted it with both hands with respect gave proof of what a precious treasure it was . The price on it would be astronomical .

Sungjin continued to read the information sheet . There were two very eye catching details . ‘Allows casting of every Blue Magic Spells’ . And ‘Increase Magic power by 5 times for 30 seconds’ .

‘These two… if these two can be combined…’

Sungjin recalled the time he had visited the Dragon Demihuman’s Spellshop .

‘Then…’

He could think of a few interesting scenarios but in the distance,

“Binding Frost! Frostbite!”

He could hear someone casting a spell . Sungjin quickly

“Equip”

Put the ring on one of his fingers, and put the pen away in his pocket . He ran towards the source of the voice . Now that he thought of it, he still had the title of Master Hunter hanging over his head .

Sungjin took out the Star of the Nameless . He had changed his title to fight Ariane . Roughly 10 minutes should have passed by now . He then said

“Rename”

To use the item to change his name to ‘Adjudicator’ and headed into the fight’ .

*

‘Iron Will’ Tanabat was happy until just a moment ago . In the first ten man raid, he was nervous facing the gigantic dragon but thanks to his powerful allies, he was able to survive after killing the beast . Of course, he had been scratched on his chest and received a severe burn on his head due to the breath attack .

But after dozens of minutes of intense fighting, the battle had ended without a loss of life .

‘Thank you, Buddha . ’

He gathered his hands and prayed . Then he walked up to the team’s most skilled combatant, the ‘Divine Archer’ to thank him .

“Thank you, Divine Archer . If it weren’t for you… I would have died . ”

The ‘Divine Archer’ was a Mideastern Asian on the smaller side, swift and agile, and was incredibly accurate with the bow . He had blinded the dragon with his arrows .

He also used some strange magic to prevent the Dragon’s reinforcements (Hellhounds and Dragon Demihumans) from joining the fray . If it weren’t for him, one or two hunters would have died . Despite Tanabat’s expression of gratitude, he remained humble .

“It’s no big deal . It was all thanks to you Iron Wall sir for doing a good job . ”

He answered . Humility despite strength, polite demeanor despite rough appearance (large nose, thick beard); Tanabat thought highly of him .

‘I hope we can meet again . ’

The Raid continued to progress after the boss was slain . Of course for the purpose of increasing the amount of contribution points . If they were lucky, they would be able to obtain the hidden piece . But meanwhile, there was a problem . Someone decided to ask

‘Operator, what’s my Contribution level?’

One by one, people checked their contribution and noticed it was very low, around 8 to 10 percent .

The reason was obvious; it was because the Divine Archer had taken the lion’s share . Tanabat also had a small percentage of less than 10, but he didn’t mind it .

He had accepted it as the fair share proportional to his skill . So he couldn’t predict that several unhappy hunters would collude to ‘troll’ .

While the group was hunting the hellhound together, he noticed that the arrows from the Divine Archer had stopped, so he turned to check . Behind, four hunters were attacking the Divine Archer at the same time .

“What’s going on?”

Tanabat tried to get them to stop, but it was pointless . Four hunters were hellbent on trolling . It wasn’t clear when they talked it out, but they were working together against the Divine Archer .

Four trolls were flagged simultaneously . Tanabat proactively jumped into the fray to protect the Divine Archer . So it became 4 versus 2 . The enemy was still twice their number .

But because the Tank and Archer synergized well, they were able to put up a good fight . The problem was that three of the other hunters who were watching joined on the side of the trolls .

Then the Red Mage who had been firing spells beside the Divine Archer had joined on the side of Tanabat, but it was still 7 to 3 . Tanabat fought fiercely, but the Red Mage was eventually killed . One of the enemies finally got shot down and killed by an arrow, but it was still 6 to 2 . Tanabat was in danger of being killed for choosing to protect a talented individual from jealous and greedy hunters .

That is, until moments ago .

“6 Trolls at once, I’ve hit Jackpot . ”

Someone suddenly appeared in the middle of the fight . An “Adjudicator’ wielding a sword in each hand appeared, surprising everyone present .

‘Is it a monster? Or a hidden boss?’

But it didn’t matter what or who he was . In the middle of the pitched battle, he was either an enemy or an ally . One of the trolls shouted to the Adjudicator

“Who are you? Do you also want to die?”

The Adjudicator began to swing his sword without reply when confronted . And once the fighting began, Tanabat couldn’t help but become even more surprised .

He was unbelievably skilled . Divine Archer who could land every arrow was amazing, but his skill was on a completely different level .

He had begun to fight with six trolls alone . The Divine Archer supported him as well with support fire . Thus, three out of six trolls were killed within seconds . The trolls who saw that

“Uh…”

“M…Mercy!”

Began to run away . They ran back towards the Khal Gal’s main cavern . Adjudicator chased after them without a word . But the Divine Archer was even faster than him .

‘Pew~pew~’

The arrows flew and landed on the heel of two of the hunters

‘Pew~pew~’

Followed by arrows piercing their hearts and head . This angered the ‘Adjudicator’ .

“Hey! Divine Archer! Stop! I’ll kill them, I will!”

Tanabat couldn’t quite understand him, only that he expressed the desire to kill them with his own hands .

And the Divine Archer

“Eh?”

Was surprised . He put his bow down . The Adjudicator turned towards the last troll and

“Frost Bite!”

Froze him in place and cut off his head . Of the ten hunters, only Tanabat and the Divine Archer remained alive . Tanabat couldn’t help but feel tense when the Adjudicator walked towards them .

He didn’t know who it was, but it was possible that the Adjudicator was hostile against everyone . He turned to the Divine Archer and said

“Hey… Shouldn’t we make a run for it?”

But the Divine Archer shook his head .

“No, that man… he’s not a bad man . ”

Tanabat didn’t know with what evidence he said that, but Tanabat couldn’t relax . Not many, not even villains, could indiscriminately swing their swords at someone they just met .

But the Adjudicator very unhesitatingly and skillfully pulled it off . So Tanabat found it difficult to trust him .

He held two blood dripping swords and wore a flaming skull over his head .

Tanabat had seen many strange hunters as chapters progressed, but this man seemed particularly far from normal . The Adjudicator walked from corpse to corpse to pick up fallen items .

Upon closer inspections, he was picking copies of armours and equipment the dead hunters were wearing . As if he was a kind of was a kind of scavenger picking through corpses .

‘I thought it was impossible to take items of other people…’

As Tanabat was thinking so, the Adjudicator finished picking up the items and said

“How sad… there were six, but I could only kill four of them…”

He muttered to himself as he walked towards Tanabat and the Divine Archer . To them he then asked

“Hey, are you two alright?”

Tanabat nodded . But the Divine Archer said

“It’s been a while . ”

Adjudicator tilted his head and replied

“What, you know me?”

Tanabat also stared at the Divine Archer . He was curious as to how they could know each other . But then when the Divine Archer raised his hands to touch his neck, he pulled away the skin .

And beneath the darkened and rough skin, he saw the exact opposite, unblemished white skin . Tanabat couldn’t help but be astonished .

When the Divine Archer lifted up the skin of his face… no his mask, the entire body began to transform .

He who had looked like a very hairy middle eastern man was now transformed into an asian woman with an elegant straight hair .

While Tanabat was staring with his jaws wide open, he could hear the voice of the Adjudicator from behind .

“…It has certainly been a while, Miss Serin…”
