Ranker's Return

Chapter 855

Rain and the Behemoth Guild was gathered on the walls. The image of humans among the god tribe couldn’t help being noticeable. Meanwhile, the plains outside the city contained a collection of all types of species such as orcs, elves, lycanthropes, dwarves, humans, etc. It happened at this moment...

Among the allied species members, an orc stepped forward. Everyone’s eyes fell on the orc. The presence of the orc was that great.

“Tell the humans who are there. Run away now. It has nothing to do with you guys anyway,” the orc shouted toward the city walls while walking forward.

Just then, an elf with long ears popped out. The elf didn’t shout at the walls like the orc. He approached the orc and whispered softly, “Raccoon, Hyeonu has something to tell you.”

“Hyeonu? What did he say?”

The orc, Raccoon, turned to look at the elf.

“The adventurers attached to the god tribe are spies, so you don’t have to worry about them. Adventurers should be left to the adventurers. However, keep it a secret from other adventurers.” The elf, Yeongchan, told Raccoon exactly what Hyeonu had asked him to say.

“He never passed by anything. He will make things happen somehow.”

Raccoon laughed like he was full of energy. Hyeonu definitely wasn’t here, but the arrangements he left behind were enough to show his presence.

“I understand. I will pass it to our side.” Raccoon nodded before suddenly fixing his gaze on Yeongchan again. “Did he tell you when the reinforcement was coming?”

Yeongchan understood who Raccoon was referring to when he mentioned the reinforcement. It was because he had heard about it from Hyeonu in advance.

“I don’t know that either. However, if there are reinforcements, then I think they will be coming soon. It’s not like he doesn’t have the time.”

It was Lebron, the number one knight of the Yusma Empire and the only teacher of Hyeonu. It wouldn’t take Lebron long to cross the continent. It might be different if he wasn’t coming, but if he was really coming, then he would appear within a few days at the latest.

“That’s right. Then I won’t worry about it. In any case, it doesn’t matter.”

Raccoon didn’t really care. In the first place, there was little support. Moreover, in the past, his goal was to completely annihilate all the enemies. So to a certain extent, some sacrifice was indispensable. Now it was different. He accepted Hyeonu’s opinion and was planning to engage in a battle of attrition in moderation. If this was the case, there would be no major damage to the different species.

“If I don’t see any response, then I will take it that you have rejected my offer,” Raccoon turned toward the walls again and shouted.

“Go back.” Then he turned around and went back to where the allied forces were.

“Yes, Raccoon.” Yeongchan chased after Raccoon.

Upon returning to the camp, Raccoon started to speak to the different species, “Fight on your own. Instead, don’t get hurt and don’t die. However, kill as many enemies as you can. Remember those who have died.”

At Raccoon’s words, the orcs raised their weapons. The other species listened to Raccoon in a relatively calm manner.

“Leave the adventurers to adventurers. Our opponent is the god tribe,” Raccoon continued to speak. This time, he mentioned Hyeonu’s words that were delivered through Yeongchan.

“You mean the ones who can’t die should be left to the ones who can’t die?”

“I can’t believe this came from an orc’s mind.”

The great tribe chiefs of the other species heard Raccoon’s words and looked at each other with expressions of disbelief. Raccoon’s remark was that strange. It was definitely valid, but it was strangely cold and precise for Raccoon to pull out.

“Teika, you must like it,” Yeongchan stood next to Teika, who had become an orc, and spoke to him.

“Me? What are you talking about?” Teika shrugged at Yeongchan’s words and asked. He really didn’t know. What did Yeongchan mean?

“The adventurers are left to adventurers. Won’t there be a confrontation between you and Rain? It is clear that the viewers will flock. Just thinking about it makes me jealous,” Yeongchan explained to Teika, who looked like he didn’t know anything.

What enviable thing?

“Who knows? Perhaps the viewers who are coming here now aren’t coming for that reason, right? I just think that I have the highest level among the orc players. That is why a lot more people are coming, right?”

However, Teika didn’t particularly agree with Yeongchan’s words.

‘The audience must’ve already been drawn to the side of the Behemoth Guild.’

There was no live stream that clearly grabbed the viewers’ attention with the exception of the Behemoth Guild’s. It wasn’t the day that Hyeonu was streaming and the Venom Guild, which was in the same position as the current Behemoth Guild, wasn’t streaming. The other large guilds were streaming about their own topics. There were no particularly big issues apart from the Behemoth Guild.

“Who knows? I don’t think that will be the case? Try turning on your live stream once. There will probably be a huge crowd.”

Yeongchan’s thoughts were different from Teika’s. It was now an empty house. There might be many viewers watching the live stream of the Behemoth Guild, but there weren’t many options, so there might be a lot of people just watching for the sake of it. It was clear that many viewers would be drawn to Teika the moment he turned on the streaming. Additionally, people were originally interested in the relationship between the two men, Teika and Rain.

“In any case, isn’t it time to turn on the live stream, both for Teika and for me? Let’s check it out for ourselves.”

Teika and Yeongchan hadn’t turned on their live streams yet. If they turned on their live stream without knowing when the battle would start or how long it would last, their condition could be ruined by lengthy streaming. Both Teika and Yeongchan were individual streamers, so they had no one to help them.

“Hello everyone. It is everybody’s orc, Teika.”

Teika turned on the live stream straight away as Yeongchan said. Then he became startled. The number of viewers was growing at a much faster rate than usual.

-I came from another live stream.

-So are you going to kill the god tribe? Are you going to kill the Behemoth Guild?

-Can’t he just kill whoever?

-Is he going to fight with Rain once? It seems like this is the first time they will fight outside the arena.

-How do you know if they haven’t secretly fought each other?

The number of messages in the chat window increased as the number of viewers grew. In proportion to that, Teika’s tension continued to rise.

‘Isn’t this almost the same as when I went to Alley Leader’s live stream?’

“Do we really need to fight over something like this? I came here to fight the god tribe, not them. If I get caught, then I will fight. If not, I won’t fight.”

Teika pulled out the spear on his back when he finished speaking. All of a sudden, everyone was ready to run.

-Charge!!

A loud voice echoed across the plains. It wasn’t Raccoon’s voice. The voice came from the walls.

-What?

-Awesome. There was so much?

-Were they all here?

-Crazy.

The viewers were terrified when they saw the number of god tribe members pouring out of the city. The god tribe poured out like a swarm of ants. There were a lot of them. At first glance, it seemed to be more than the allied army, which consisted of the alliance between the League of Different Species and the Yuxin Empire.

“These lowlifes don’t know the subject and are attacking!”

The leader of the god tribe was Jeras, the king of the god tribe. The quickly running Jeras raised a hand to shoulder level and pulled it back. A white spear appeared in Jeras’ hand that was pulled back. Jeras moved his shoulder that was pulled back. The white spear was sharply fired across the plains.

Then a green axe flew from somewhere and blocked the spear that Jeras had thrown.

“Lowlifes? It is you who doesn’t know the subject!”

The owner of the axe was Raccoon. Raccoon walked out in a relaxed manner and stared at Jeras.

“I didn’t expect to see that disgusting face here again...” Raccoon picked up the axe that was stuck in the ground and extended it toward Jeras.

“Raccoon? How are you here?” Jeras looked at Raccoon with a surprised expression on his face.

“Is this bastard out of his mind? What is wrong with me being in the middle world? Additionally... you should’ve thought of the aftermath after doing something.”

Raccoon growled. Then green magic power appeared behind Raccoon’s back and revealed the appearance of a ferocious demon.

“You will die here today.”

Raccoon strongly moved his feet. At this moment, Raccoon’s figure disappeared. It was unbelievable that someone who was so large could move at such a speed.

The disappeared Raccoon reappeared near Jeras. It was a distance where he could reach just by extending his arm. Then Raccoon lowered his head toward Jeras’ head. Raccoon’s axe that was covered in green pure energy tore through the space.

Jeras leaned back with a frightened expression. No, he was going to do that if it wasn’t for the dark red fighting energy that flowed from Raccoon’s body.

“This...”

Jeras’ body was stuck to the ground like he was glued to it and he couldn’t move. Jeras’ expression distorted. There was no confusion. He wasn’t incompetent enough to not be able to figure out how this situation was progressing.

Raccoon’s axe gradually approached Jeras’ forehead. Blood dripped down Jeras’ head even though the distance between the axe and Jeras was around one meter. Jeras gave up avoiding Raccoon’s attack He chose defense instead. Jeras’ raised both hands toward the axe that fell toward him. Both hands glowed white and a white shield appeared around his hands.

Raccoon’s axe collided with Jeras’ white shield. Jeras’ shield started to crack from the moment Raccoon’s axe touched it. The white shield was broken like glass shattering. Raccoon’s axe advanced relentlessly. It was toward Jeras’ arm that was stretched above his head and toward the head below it.

There was an explosion and Raccoon’s axe stopped. It didn’t stop by itself. A white hand was in contact with the end of Raccoon’s axe. The owner of the white hand was a handsome man with gray hair.

“Your life is too precious to die like this, Jeras.” The man’s name was Luke. He was the chief of the god tribe, or ra tribe, and at the same time, the one called a god.

“God...” Jeras sighed deeply at his savior’s appearance. He had just stepped on the threshold of death. It was one of the few crises he experienced during his reign as king of the god tribe.

“As expected, you showed up. This posh bastard who doesn’t know the subject.”

Raccoon retrieved his axe and burst out laughing. There was no regret on Raccoon’s face. The attack on Jeras’ could’ve failed from the beginning. Of course, it would be better if he had killed Jeras, but his main purpose was to bring Luke here.

“You will die today.”

Raccoon already couldn’t remember Hyeonu’s words. He erased Hyeonu’s advice the moment he saw Jeras. It would be the end of the ra tribe if he killed Luke and Jeras.
