[Chains that sealed ruin] [Legend]

A chain that sealed ruin. Its use and intended use are unknown.

-Can use the special skill [Suppression] when using it by default

– Equipment can be attached

-Attack/defense increases when equipment is attached

-Special option applied when attaching equipment

-When attaching equipment, it cannot be detached until the attached equipment is destroyed.

The rating is a legend! However, the options were a bit odd. It can be used as a chain itself, and can be attached to equipment.

It wasn’t that this type of equipment attachment item didn’t exist, but the options were something special.

As the attack power or defense power increases, it can be applied to both weapons and armor, but when attached, the special option does not appear.

“Is it different for each device?”

The one you can think of is a random option, but once attached, it is a negative score that can only be recovered by destroying the corresponding equipment.

“I don’t know what it is, but I’ll try it first.”

It’s kind of like a curse, but anyway, it’s legendary, so there’s nothing bad about it. Having retrieved it with an uneasy feeling, Lokan hurriedly headed to the laboratory.

Even he did not know where the research institute where the ancient emperor’s resurrection ceremony was conducted, but it was not difficult to find it because the location was displayed after the quest was activated.

“Pass.”

“Pass.”

“Come into the magic circle over there.”

However, it was unusual that the destination was not the final destination, but had to go through several maze-like paths and use the teleport magic circle again several times.

It seemed to be to prevent the personnel on the defensive side from giving information to others. That being said, there was only one Lokan among the users who stood on the defensive side.

“After all, the mini-map sucks.”

Even the mini-map and message functions were blocked. He didn’t join a separate guild, but probably features like guild chat were also blocked. There are several other areas where all messaging functions are blocked.

With a funny expression on his face, Rokhan first checked the surroundings.

“Count Regalia”

“… … ”

As he slowly began to look around to grasp the terrain, someone called him to a stop. Just by looking at it, he was a knight who had risen to the master level.

“Who is it ”

“This is Torrenta, the Guardsman. I’m sorry, but the Count’s area is here.”

He seemed to be not a high-ranking nobleman, so he looked down on him, but Rokhan was surprised by the word of a Guard Knight.

If it’s a guard knight, isn’t he playing the role of supporting the emperor? If so, is the emperor here?

Not sure, but he thought it might be.

Resurrection of the ancient emperor. It was strange that the emperor was not in the position to complete the work that the human race had longed for.

“I see.”That’s why I turned around without reacting.

Here, if you try to force yourself, you may be driven into treason, not to the extent of being kicked out.

It would be difficult for even a marquise or a duke, not a count, to survive if they challenged the imperial power, the absolute power.

Instead, I pulled some things out of my inventory.

“I’ll take this instead.”

“This… … ”

What Lokan took out was a crude-looking scarecrow.

Consumables made by mechanical engineering.

It does not require a high level of proficiency, but in the current situation, it would boast excellent performance.

“It is an item with a taunt function. Placing it near the entrance or in a hard-to-reach place will help detect intruders from the impure.”

“thank you. We will report it above.”

At Rokhan’s explanation, Torrenta politely bowed her head and accepted it.

I won’t install it straight away, trusting his words, but I’ll install it after a simple confirmation.

Then the ‘stupid scarecrow’ will exert its power.

wide range attack.

That’s the power of the mean scarecrow that Rokhan created.

It didn’t work for allies, and there was a time limit, but he had only 1 vitality, so he was destroyed just by touching the enemy’s attack.

Because the wide-area taunt was a terrifying effect that captured even the enemy in hiding.

Lokan, who passed the scarecrow and settled down in that way, made several arrangements in his area.

It was an alarm function to notify the intrusion of the enemy, as well as a magic lighthouse and mechanical engineering traps that light up hiding.

After finishing the preparation, the boring time continued, but I couldn’t be vigilant until the time limit was up. Even if you are the enemy, you wait and wait rather than attack right away, and the enemy will come to strike a second at the last moment when it is easy to be vigilant.

It didn’t look like a second attempt would be allowed anyway.

woo woo woo.

‘Are you here’

10 hours to spend like that. About 5 hours until the resurrection of the ancient emperor, a response came from the device installed by Lokan.

A notification similar to the sound of a conch was activated.

“Enemy!”

Lokan immediately shouted, while raising his senses. He knows that if he jumps out blindly, he will only be hit by the concentrated fire of his enemies.

“Great!”

And soon a signal came from the other direction. someone’s scream. It seemed to be an approach from multiple directions, not just one direction.

‘I can’t help it.’

But he couldn’t even run in the direction the scream was coming from. It is not possible to know which side is the main base, and he cannot stop all enemies by himself.

So he has no choice but to protect his own territory.

“Are you trying to awaken that cursed being? Humans are crazy!”

Heh heh heh heh heh!

It was none other than a horde of trolls that appeared with a thrilling shout. They turned those who blocked them with overwhelming strength into blood cakes and rushed inward with angry eyes.

“huh!”

The level of the soldiers was at least 270, and the level of the knights reached 280-290, but they did not dare to stop them easily. The opponent has a master level.

When he saw the man who was at the forefront, killing soldiers and knights alike, Lokan knew what he had to do.

‘Block it.’

He had to stop him. The emperor also put himself here for that purpose.

There were knights of different master levels and high masters in the rear, but there were also beings who reached the master level in positions where they were defending forward like Lokan was.

Even so, the fact that he only placed knights and soldiers where he was meant that he believed in Rokhan.

“Heh heh heh heh heh!”

Lokan, who had the brain of a single troll attacking with a strike spread out, mumbled a cry of madness.

It was significantly inferior to that of the Master, but since it was Lokan’s cry, which was not debuffed due to the effect of his fortitude, it certainly had an effect.

As evidence of that, the soldiers and knights who had fallen unilaterally began to endure somehow.

“bombing!”

However, Lokan didn’t even try to dig it up. He thoroughly defended his position and only slaughtered those who rushed in and those who crossed a certain line.

Make your enemies aware of you. So, let the Master aim for himself first.

“Your baby is stingy!”

“counterattack!”

Kaang!

After dodging the mace struck by the Troll Master, Rokhan quickly rushed back to him. He ripped open his chest with lethal force.

But also master. He recklessly retrieved the mace that had been embedded in the ground, and blocked Lokan’s strike.

At that moment, Rokhan’s left hand stirred in the air. He opened his inventory and grabbed something.

“Suppression!”

It was a Lokan where the title effect related to ‘Defense War’ was activated along with the appearance of enemies. If only the Berserk was used, it was enough to compete with the male and female, but the number of enemies and the number of masters were not known in a situation where it was impossible to overdo it.

So he gambled.

👌👌👌👌👌👌

“み!”

What Rokhan used was a chain that sealed ruin. It was a special skill suppression built into it.

The chain wrapped around the troll master in an instant to see if it had the effect of lengthening itself. The bewildered man slapped him with a mace, but the direction only changed a little, and he moved without stopping and wrapped around his body.

One, two, five, ten.

He wrapped him up like a mummy and made it impossible for him to wiggle. Really suppressed. Mana consumption commensurate with the power occurred, but if it was possible to subdue the master level simply like this, it was rather cheap.

‘Crazy.’

Even Lokan was stunned by the absurd effect of incapacitating someone else’s master level for a moment.

Considering that he was a legend, it was worth it, but at least in his previous life, such an item had never appeared in his memory.But there were no surprises. Because the enemy troops who discovered the neutralized one were gathering.

“Armor Break, riot!”

breakage.

Rokhan immediately combined the armor break and riot to pound the gnome’s head, and his helmet shattered with his own strength.

“Lethal Strike!”

Whoops!

The bare head with the armor destroyed was as soft as tofu. Lokan was able to smash the troll master’s head without difficulty without using a beam.

[You have leveled up.]

Level up is a bonus. Even so, it was thanks to the experience points accumulated in the past, so I thought that it would not be possible to unconditionally level up by taking the master level.

‘Reuse time 30 minutes… … .’

Conversely, when I took a peek at the enemies, the re-use time of suppression was 30 minutes.

It seems like it can only be used once in a single battle, but with this kind of power, it’s short. Is it because this is also a legend rank?

Even if he swung the chain like this, it didn’t seem like his normal attack power, but Lokan threw it into the empty inventory and added power to the axe.

Since then, the ax of the Wrath King that he has been using was also a unique-grade weapon that has been fully strengthened.

The level limit is 250, but if you add power and Berserker-only options, it will not be pushed back compared to the best weapons in the 280-290 level.

As if to prove it, Rokhan began to go crazy.

‘Write down.’

Even as he slaughtered the intruders, Lokan could not hide his disappointment.

Maybe this was just a bait? At least one master level was too few to stop the resurrection of the ancient emperor. At the very least, it would make sense when Master Thirnut appeared per aisle.

‘I can’t help it.’

When no strong man appeared from the enemy camp, Lokan bit his lip and turned around.

“Summon an alter ego!”

I left the rest of the work here to the clone and started moving towards the other passage.

‘also.’

All I could say was that I was lucky. The undead, goblins, and orcs from the other side of the passage also attacked.

The number was so large that I wondered how many people had been hiding whether this place was actually in a conflict zone.

Although it was a special event, there was already a completely open area, even though there were at least one or two human masters in each passage.

Inevitably, most of the human race masters were concentrated around the place where the ancient emperor’s resurrection ceremony was held.

Looking back at them still unable to move even after seeing their allies being pushed, Lokan had no choice but to flew in the direction that seemed the most difficult.

If they come in further, we will try to join forces with other masters, but in that case, the number of people who seek the gap will increase, so the risk would be greater.

Moreover, if two or more places were completely pierced as it is, there was a possibility that each passage would be surrounded and annihilated.

“Heh heh heh heh!”

Rokhan tried to kill the momentum of the enemies with a cry of madness when he appeared, but it became poison. The two orc masters turned towards Lokan.

“Berserk!”

But if you’re scared of it, you’re not Rokhan. He spewed out red madness and slammed them towards them.
