Ranker's Return

Chapter 880

Chapter 880

“The legacy... Wwhat do you mean?” Kalui asked with a bewildered expression.

“Yes, legacy. The legacy of the empire left behind by Larenix. Have you heard of anything?” Hyeonu asked once again.

“If it is a legacy... My Lord, don’t you already have it?” Kalui replied like it was strange. The reason why he was flustered was because Hyeonu was already carrying a legacy.

‘How did he know?’

Hyeonu was surprised by Kalui. It was because Kalui’s words were too sudden.

‘He knows I got the Guardian’s Spear.’

The Guardian’s Spear, one of the three legacies that Larenix left behind. The fact that he was holding onto it...

“How did you know?” Hyeonu expressed the question in his mind.

“How? What do you mean by that, My Liege? You saved us, so isn’t it natural that you have the legacy of His Majesty the Emperor?”

Kalui’s reaction wasn’t much different from Hyeonu’s. Hyeonu reacted with amazement at something obvious, so Kalui was even more flustered.

“Is it natural?”

Hyeonu frowned as if something had gone wrong with the communication.

“Didn’t you take that?”

“That?”

“I’m talking about the ring, the medium that made up the space, My Lord.”

“Ring?” Hyeonu cocked his head. He realized the legacy that Kalui was talking about.

‘However, that isn’t a legacy...’

It was just too vague to call it Larenix’s legacy. All it did was create a strange space. It was just a disposable item.

‘Is that a legacy? That thing?’

Hyeonu couldn’t believe it. It was nothing more than garbage compared to the Guardian’s Spear. It was just an item with an epic rating that wasn’t as good on the inside as it looked on the outside.

“Are you thinking that the function of this artifact isn’t very good? Why is this a legacy? Do you have such questions?”

Kalui examined Hyeonu’s face and carefully spoke to Hyeonu. Hyeonu just nodded without saying anything.

“The three rings were originally one. You will see what it truly looks like when they are put together.”

There were a total of three Disconnected Spaces that Hyeonu obtained. One from the demon world, one from the middle world, and one from the divine world.

‘Could they be merged?’

Hyeonu had picked up the three Disconnected Spaces, but he never took them out. No, the effects weren’t good, so he erased them from his mind. He never took out the three of them at the same time, so the three of them couldn’t be combined.

Hyeonu immediately put his hand in the inventory and pulled out the ‘Disconnected Space.’

One, two, three.

A light burst out the moment three rings fell onto Hyeonu’s palm.

‘It is one.’

Hyeonu could already feel it with touch before seeing the ring with his eyes. The rings had become one. The light quickly faded. It disappeared quickly as if it had never existed in the first place.

Hyeonu opened his closed eyes and looked at his palm. His palm contained a green ring filled with a lot of vitality.

[Find the legacy of the giants 2/3.]

At the same time, a message window appeared in front of Hyeonu. It was a message proving that the ring was Larenix’s legacy.

“Really...” Hyeonu muttered with a slightly blank expression. He never dreamed that the ‘Disconnected Space’ would really be a legacy that Larenix left behind.

‘Item information.’

Hyeonu immediately checked the item information. Kalui said something, but he didn’t hear it. All of Hyeonu’s senses were focused on the message window in front of him.

[Incomplete Eternity]

[A ring made by the imperial family of the Luos Empire. It was made to commemorate the eternity of the Luos Empire, but it wasn’t made like the design due to a lack of capacity.

Rating: Legendary

Restrictions: Descendant of the Luos Empire.

Effect: You can use ‘Completed Transcendence.’ You can use ‘Incomplete Permanence.’

Completed Transcendence: All stats will increase by twice the wearer’s level.

Incomplete Permanence: The performance of worn items is increased by 20%.]

“Crazy.”

A short word full of depth burst out of Hyeonu’s mouth when he read the item information. He couldn’t stand it at all. He could say it was the best item he had ever obtained.

‘It is too shameful to compare it to the Guardian’s Spear...’

Honestly, this was the case. The Guardian’s Spear and Incomplete Eternity—the two of them were different just based on the item rating. There was also a big difference in the effect. It was hard to think of it as the same legacy.

‘What is wrong with the Guardian’s Spear?’

He even had such a thought. However, it didn’t matter much to Hyeonu now.

‘I have obtained a ridiculous item.’

It had an effect that increased all stats by twice the wearer’s level. It also increased the effect of the items worn by 20%.

‘Incomplete Permanence… it is a jackpot.’

It wasn’t an effect that would make a rare rated item equivalent to a unique rated item. Even so, it was an effect that allowed a decent unique rated item to become a pretty good unique rated item.

‘The specs will jump with just this.’

It was rewarding to leave the northern war. At the same time, he now had the confidence to win against the guardians.

‘There is only one left.’

He found two of the three. He had achieved more than half his goal.

‘The remaining one will soon...’

Hyeonu firmly pledged before putting the ring on his finger.

[You don’t meet the conditions to wear the item.]

[The item can’t be worn.]

‘That’s right. I don’t have the item, do I?’

Hyeonu finally realized that the condition to wear the ring wasn’t met. It was something he hadn’t thought of because the items were always tailored to him, just like a custom suit.

[The title ‘Successor of the Giants’ exists.]

[The conditions for wearing the item have been satisfied.]

However, Hyeonu had a different title. It was a title one rank higher than Descendant of the Luos Empire.

‘Even if it is the imperial family of the Luos Empire... they are descendants of the giants after all.’

Hyeonu smiled. It was good. The important thing was that he could wear such a good item. Light poured out from the ring the moment that the green ring was placed on Hyeonu’s finger. The light spread all over Hyeonu’s body. To be precise, it flowed to the items on Hyeonu’s body.

The items that glowed with a green light had a slightly different feeling than before. Nobility was felt from the items. Previously, there was definitely a feeling that they were unusual, but it wasn’t to the current extent.

‘Now, the skill book...’

Hyeonu’s attention shifted from the ring to the skill book placed in the inventory. He already no longer noticed Kalui, who was standing in front of him. The priority was to check this.

Hyeonu quickly placed his hand into the inventory and pulled out the skill book that the emperor had given him. Then he used the skill book without hesitation.

[The skill book given by the emperor has been used.]

[A skill has been created.]

[Road to Complete Perfection]

[It is derived from the magic power operation of the giants and has been honed by numerous geniuses. Now there are many differences from the original.

Type: Continuous

Rating: Legendary

Skill Proficiency: F

It has a superiority advantage over all attributes. The magic related effects are increased by 100%.]

‘Uwaaah!!!’

Hyeonu inwardly let out a shout. It was a shout of joy. He just didn’t shout out loud because he still had to consider his appearance. It was because he saw Kalui standing in front of him as he was about to make a sound.

[Find the legacy of the giants 3/3.]

However, it was only for a moment. Another message window popped up. He couldn’t endure it when he saw it. He had to let out the overwhelming emotion.

“Uwah!!!”

Even so, he didn’t let go of the strings of reason as before. He made the sound as small as possible.

“What is going on, My Lord?”

Kalui approached Hyeonu with a surprised expression. He was flustered when he heard Hyeonu suddenly screaming.

“It is nothing, nothing.”

Hyeonu shook his head, but there was a smile on his face that couldn’t be hidden.

“I’m glad since it seems like a good thing.”

Kalui could read Hyeonu’s expression. He didn’t know if it was because the new ring was good or if something else had happened. Even so, it was clear something had happened that pleased Hyeonu.

“A good thing... that’s right, it is a good thing.”

Hyeonu nodded a few times before holding out his hand toward Kalui. Kalui’s eyes naturally shifted to Hyeonu’s hand. At this moment, a magical flame was burning on Hyeonu’s hand.

‘It is neat magic power operation!’

Kalui inwardly marveled when he saw the flames dancing on the palm of Hyeonu’s hand. Hyeonu’s magic power operation had become more advanced than before and it was now difficult to grasp from his perspective. It just seemed like there were flames attached to Hyeonu’s hand from the beginning.

“Look carefully. Isn’t it familiar?” Hyeonu asked Kalui, who was staring blankly at the flames.

“Familiar... don’t tell me...!”

Kalui cocked his head at Hyeonu’s words before his eyes widened. The purple color was deep, but it was pretty clear that Hyeonu’s flames had seven colors. It was a seven-colored magic power. A citizen of the Luos Empire had to know it. It was the seven-colored magic power that raised the noble status of the Luos Empire.

“The symbol of the imperial family...”

The identity of the magic power flowed out from Kalui’s mouth like a groan.

“I got it by coincidence.”

It was a coincidence. Definitely. Even Hyeonu didn’t know that the skill book the emperor gave him would contain the magic power management methods that Larenix had mastered.

‘Floyd, Larenix, the emperor... is it me next?’

The owners of the seven-colored magic power that Hyeonu knew were all monsters. It was definitely worthwhile when looking at the effects of the skill. It had a ridiculous effect. But if it was only this, it would just be a good skill. Most importantly, this skill was one of the three legacies left by Larenix.

[Retrieve the Legacy of the Giants has been cleared.]

[Experience has been acquired.]

As proof of this, the message windows announcing the completion of the quest appeared.

“Ahh... My Lord has really inherited everything in the empire...”

Kalui approached Hyeonu and fell to his knees. The rainbow-colored magic power that he wanted to see again. He had witnessed its return.

[You have obtained a clue to the true legacy of Larenix.]

At this time, Hyeonu was looking at something else. He was looking at the message window that covered Kalui’s head, not Kalui.

‘Is this the identity of the question mark? However, I haven’t heard anything?’

Hyeonu was looking at the quest rewards that didn’t make sense. He didn’t receive any rewards in his hands or inventory. Just then, inspiration flashed in Hyeonu’s mind. He had found a way to receive the quest rewards.

“Kalui...?” Hyeonu called out to Kalui first.

Kalui came to his senses and looked up at Hyeonu while on his knees. Hyeonu made eye contact with Kalui and shifted the magic power in the palm of his hand with his fingers. Then a long spear appeared in Hyeonu’s hand, which had been holding nothing.

“Did this originally look like this?”

Kalui couldn’t give an answer. He saw the spear in Hyeonu’s hand and was at a loss for words. “Ahh...”
