Ranker's Return-Chapter 729

Hyeonu’s eyes moved as he looked at the overwhelming amount of books. He felt it before, but there were really a lot.𝘧𝓇𝗲𝑒we𝙗noѵ𝑒l.𝐜o𝘮

‘Let’s look around leisurely this time.’

He actually didn’t look at many books last time when he got the Mysterious Sky Demonic Art. It was really great luck when thinking about it now. He found a gem called the Mysterious Sky Demonic Art among the things he had skimmed past.

‘Let’s take something amazing!’

Hyeonu looked at the bookshelves in a motivated state.

[Crescent Moon Cut]

[Ogre Power]

[Heroic Strike]

[Cold Chill]

[Thunder Claw]

There were some skills that Hyeonu knew of, and some that he didn’t. However, there was no particular name that stood out.

[Cut Continuously]

‘What is this?’

At this time, a uniquely named skill entered Hyeonu’s vision. Hyeonu picked up the skill book like he was possessed by something. No, he was going to pick it up if it wasn’t for the voice behind him.

“It is the end if you pick it up.”

The librarian’s warning awakened Hyeonu.

‘Yes, I have to look around a bit more.’

There was no reason to choose right away. He had time to spare. He had to take his time.

‘A unique or epic skill is hard to find, but I need to at least obtain a rare one.’

It was impossible to get an uncommon skill after coming all the way here. He had to get a skill that could be used, even if it wasn’t as good as the Mysterious Sky Demonic Art.

‘I don’t need an immediately activated type. Only continuous...’

Hyeonu’s wish was simple. It was just a rare rated, continuous skill. He didn’t want anything better. It was just that finding a continuous skill was like finding a needle in the haystack.

As Hyeonu was continuing to look at the bookshelf, the librarian approached and asked, “Is there anything you are looking for?”

“I’m not looking for a specific skill book. I’m just looking for a skill book related to magic power,” Hyeonu expressed what he was looking for.

It was an act that came from the idea that the librarian might help him.

“If it is related to magic power... come this way.” The librarian seemed to think briefly about Hyeonu’s words before taking Hyeonu to one side of the imperial library. “There are many books related to magic power here. If you choose carefully, there are some things that aren’t lacking compared to what you took back then.”

The librarian fell back and started to watch Hyeonu again.

“Thank you.” Hyeonu bowed toward the librarian and turned to the bookshelf.

‘This is really a collection of magic power skills.’

Hyeonu smiled happily as he looked at the bookshelf. It was time to have happy thoughts.

‘There is something weird in between...’

Of course, not all books were skill books. Traps were hidden everywhere. Hyeonu remembered the location of the skill books that seemed good in his head and continued to look at the bookshelf.

‘I will take this.’

Hyeonu looked at the bookshelf for a long time before pulling out a book. He made up his mind. The skill book that Hyeonu chose was unusual just from the name.

[Sentry’s Symbol]

It was a skill that he thought would have an amazing effect just by looking.

[Skill Book -Sentry’s Symbol has been obtained.]

Hyeonu chose the skill book and the librarian led Hyeonu outside.

“I hope you’ve picked a good thing.” The librarian wished Hyeonu good luck with a strange expression.

“I also hope I picked something good.”

Hyeonu also hoped his chosen skill book would be good, just as the librarian said. After exiting the imperial library, Hyeonu stuck to the wall of the imperial palace and opened the skill book in his hand.

[Sentry’s Symbol]

[Magic power management method learned by sentries hunting for invading enemies.]

‘I picked the right one.’

Sentry’s Symbol was about how to operate magic power. It would be at least rare rated or even unique.

[Sentry’s Symbol has been used.]

[A skill has been created.]

‘Unique, let it be unique...!’

Hyeonu shouted quietly before checking the skill information. It was a prayer. He wished that the skill level was unique.

‘Skill Window.’

[Sentry’s Symbol]

[A magic power management method that all sentries learn. It is aggressive and offensive.

Type: Continuous

Rating: Epic

Skill Proficiency: F

All stats will increase by 25% in combat. The opponent’s stats will be decreased by 25%.]

“Amazing!”

Hyeonu couldn’t stand it and shouted. Then he looked around and covered his mouth with both hands.

‘This is the imperial palace.’

Hyeonu ran out of the imperial palace like it was a playground.

“Tang-E, aren’t you bored?” Hyeonu asked Tang-E, who was sitting on his head.

“I’m not bored. Master dude, are you bored?”

Tang-E shook his head. He couldn’t be bored. He was just excited. It had been a long time since he visited Bung Bung Island with Hyeonu.

“Really?” On the other hand, Hyeonu was suffering from extreme boredom. All the monsters that Hyeonu met on the way to the forest where Bung Bung Island was located was too weak. It was at the level of just firing magic power, rather than drawing the Mysterious Sky Sword.

“Master dude, are you bored on your way to Bung Bung Island? Huh? Is that what it is?” Tang-E tapped Hyeonu’s forehead while repeatedly asking if Hyeonu was bored.

“Who is bored? Ouch, it hurts.” Hyeonu rubbed his finger against his forehead where a dull sound had broken out. Of course, he didn’t forget to wet it with saliva.

“This hand habit. If your paws are dirty...” Hyeonu grumbled with a slightly swollen forehead.

“It is all Master dude’s karma. Your mouth is frivolous, frivolous.”

Tang-E looked a bit sorry, but he never said he was sorry.

“Yes, it is my fault.”

Hyeonu sighed and apologized to Tang-E. He had no idea why he should do this, but he did it anyway.

“I’m going to run now. Hang on tight,” Hyeonu warned Tang-E.

It was the end of the leisurely walk. He couldn’t do it any longer because it was wasting time.

“Understand, Master dude. Run hard.”

Tang-E stuck tight to the back of Hyeonu’s head. His front paws wrapped around Hyeonu’s forehead while his legs wrapped around Hyeonu’s neck. Then it looked like bear ears appeared on Hyeonu’s head.

“Hold it well,” Hyeonu once again warned Tang-E before using magic power to kick off hard against the ground. Hyeonu’s body cut through the air like an arrow and flew away.

‘Good, good.’

The view of Bung Bung Island after a long time was still beautiful. If he had time one day, he wanted to bring some people whose confidentiality were certain.

‘I have to get permission before then.’

Of course, the priority was to ask permission from Hugo and Manong, the masters of Bung Bung Island and Tang-E’s parents.

‘Even if they can come... they are always a member.’

There were few people to call. Secrets were secrets and they were all busy. It wouldn’t be easy to take a few days off hunting in Arena.

“Tang-E, do you want to guide me?”

Hyeonu stopped looking around blankly. There was a separate reason for coming to Bung Bung Island, but it was only polite to see Manong and Hugo first after coming here.

“Understood, Master dude.”

Tang-E came down from Hyeonu’s head and took the lead in walking. He walked hard with his short feet. His legs were short, but his stats were high. Thus, his strides were huge when walking. He moved like this and they quickly arrived at Tang-E’s house.

“Father! Tang-E brought Master!” Tang-E stood in front of his house and shouted loudly. It wasn’t just Tang-E’s house. All the nearby Marionette Bears looked at Hyeonu.

“Is that man Tang-E’s master?

“He is handsome.”

“It isn’t that he is handsome, he is good-natured. I can tell that he is good to Tang-E.”

The Marionette Bears each spoke. Hyeonu heard this and felt his face turning red. The majority of the Marionette Bears’ words were candid evaluations of Hyeonu. Of course, Hyeonu was shy and embarrassed to hear it.

“Tang-E, did your mother teach you like that? What is this noise in the village?”

A savior appeared to save Hyeonu. It was Tang-E’s mother, Manong.

“Manong, it has been a while,” Hyeonu greeted Manong.

“Oh my, it has been a long time. Hyeonu.”

Manong waved to Hyeonu. It was a 180 degree different attitude from when she scolded Tang-E.

“I was stopping by Bung Bung Island for a reason and thought it wasn’t polite to just pass by. Did I cause you any trouble...?”

“What trouble? Thank you so much for coming like this. We shouldn’t do this here. Come inside. I think it is better to talk over refreshments.”

Hyeonu entered the house according to Manong’s guidance.

“By the way... where is Hugo? I don’t see him.”

Hugo was nowhere to be seen.

“He is away for a while because he has something to do. He will probably be back soon. It is around the time for him to come back,” Manong said while pointing. At the direction where the tip of her finger pointed was Hugo, who was walking from another direction.

“Hasn’t it been a while?”

Hugo entered the house and naturally waved at Hyeonu. He already had a conversation outside and understood that Tang-E had returned with Hyeonu.

“It has been a while, Hugo.”

Hyeonu also greeted Hugo.

“Do you mind me asking why you came to Bung Bung Island?”

“I am looking for something. Someone told me it was on Bung Bung Island.”

“There is something on Bung Bung Island?”

Hugo mused over Hyeonu’s words. It was safe to say that there were no humans who knew the existence of Bung Bung Island. The loss of interactions with humans had been so long that it was hard to even count the number.

‘Where did he hear such nonsense?’

If it wasn’t Hyeonu saying this, it was clear that Hugo would’ve pressed the other person not to say nonsense.

“There is a ruin where the descendants of Luos, the ancient empire, are hiding.” Hyeonu told Hugo what he heard from Kalui.

“Who said that?”

“It was conveyed to me by a descendant of the Luos Empire. I know it is hard to believe.”

Hyeonu searched his inventory and took out a small ring. It was a ring that appeared in the ruins of the demon world.

“This ring is called Disconnected Space. It is only once, but it has the ability to create a space where time is stopped. It is just an ornament that doesn’t have any function right now.”

Hyeonu gave Hugo the ring. Hugo carefully received the ring and examined it. “I’ve never seen a ring of those days myself, but I fully know the age of the ring itself. The remaining traces of magic power in it alone are unusual.”

This was a shock to Hugo. Bung Bung Island was the home of the Marionette Bears. He could barely believe there was something he didn’t know about Bung Bung Island when he led the Marionette Bears.

“The ruins you are looking for... the Marionette Bears will also help.”

Hyeonu’s eyes widened when he heard the words. This was progress that Hyeonu never expected.

“I am very thankful.” A bright smile appeared on Hyeonu’s face.
