The 100th Regression of the Max-Level Player

Chapter 119: The Last Time Regressor (1)

The regular groups quest was to escort the guild to their destination.

The traitor groups quest was to hinder the guild from reaching their destination.

Since the two quests were completely opposite, only one group could survive.

Its a scenario where 1,201 people die, or I die.

Thats what one would normally think.

However, Ryu Min knew a way for both groups to survive.

A method where everyone succeeds in their quests without anyone being annihilated.

Its not a difficult one too. Its simple if you exploit a loophole in the system.

Thats why Ryu Min wasnt particularly worried.

He had already succeeded using the same method several times before.

I cant just live while letting 1,201 people die.

Among those 1,201, there was Jo Yong-ho above all.

An Sang-cheol could die for all he cared, but Jo Yong-ho had to survive as the future Mercenary King.

Such a talent would be a waste to kill.

So, he planned to use the method where everyone survives.

I dont have to worry about the annihilation part. The problem is whether I will be able to obtain the rune of the future.

If everything goes according to plan, obtaining the rune is inevitable.

But theres always a variable.

Because theres a chance that the Archbishop wont acknowledge me.

If he cant create an overwhelmingly impressive situation that makes the Archbishops eyes pop out, he wont be able to gain his favor.

Without his favor, a private audience becomes impossible, and then the reward would slip away.

Guess Ill have to wait until the boss appears.

Soon after, the convoy moved, and the official escort quest began.

1,202 players walked, guarding the carriage.

Ryu Min positioned himself next to the carriage the Archbishop was in.

Its better to stand out now if possible.

Wouldnt fighting next to the Archbishop make him more recognizable?

While walking with that thought, monsters appeared.

Numerous gargoyles filled the sky.

Ah, flying monsters?

Damn it. How do we catch those?

Kill them when they come down!

Die! You damned birds!

Though they looked more like demons than birds, the players couldnt regain their composure.

The hit-and-run attacks of the gargoyles were enough to make their heads spin.

These bastards are tougher than I thought!

They dont die with one hit!

Since they cant be killed with one hit, they often flee quickly after being attacked.

We cant chase after them since they have wings. This is driving me crazy!

The battle dragged on longer than expected on one side.

Swoosh-!

With one strike, a gargoyles head was cut off, and another was split in half by a subsequent attack.

Death Night.

Ryu Min, who darkened the space, moved faster, dropping gargoyle heads here and there.

If he spotted one trying to escape, he didnt hesitate to use a skill.

Moonlight Slash.

With a flashing light, three gargoyles were sliced to pieces.

The overwhelming display belied any notion of a stat debuff.

It was a one-man show by Black Scythe, leaving the players astounded.

Wow, look at Black Scythe.

Crazy, so damn strong.

Is it always a one-hit kill whenever he moves that scythe?

Even amidst this, some were losing their minds watching.

Not only the players but the Archbishop was also watching Ryu Mins performance.

Glancing over, the Archbishop was seen looking out the carriage window at him.

Although he couldnt read the thoughts, the fact that he couldnt take his eyes off indicated interest.

I mustve made a strong first impression.

After slaughtering all the gargoyles, a short break followed, and then the second wave started.

What are these things?

They look like trolls from a fantasy world?

Right, those are trolls.

Ryu Min agreed, wielding his scythe.

Trolls, standing at 2.5 meters tall, were not particularly large for monsters but were known for their rapid regeneration.

However, they can only regenerate when its a light wound.

Of course, for other players, the trolls skin was too thick to be cut in one hit.

But to Ryu Min, theyre not much different from a soft tofu.

Swoosh- Swoosh-!

As Ryu Min chopped up even the trolls, the players were utterly dumbfounded.

Crazy, just crazy.

How can his damage be so high?

No wonder hes ranked number 1.

After managing to kill the trolls and walking a few steps, minotaurs appeared next.

Minotaurs, really? Is this for real?

How are we supposed to kill these monsters?

Theres no break at all.

Having experienced how strong the minotaurs were in the sixth round, the players were scared even before the fight started.

Shaking his head at their behavior, Ryu Min thought.

Theres no need to be scared. Shouldnt they rather be glad? At least its a monster theyve faced before.

Moreover, the difference in levels between then and now is more than ten.

It would be tough, but if a few of them worked together, they could manage it.

It didnt take long for the players to realize this fact.

Nice! Got it!

Its easier than before?

This is doable, right?

With regained confidence, Ryu Min also sliced through the monsters.

Roarrrr!

Despite killing dozens, no items dropped.

In the sixth round, being a boss meant a high drop rate, but here, they were just regular mobs.

After a grueling hunt, 4 hours passed, and the 25th wave approached.

Its finally time for it to appear.

Ryu Min was mentally prepared when the awaited boss monster appeared.

Thump- Thump- Thump-

Whats that?

Whats this sound?

The ground is shaking?

The reason for the shaking was none other than.

Roarrrr!

An over 6-meter-tall monster, the strongest on the ground, an ogre.

It was the appearance of the 8th-round boss monster.

Despite its large frame, it moved agilely and swiped its hand like swatting a fly.

Crunch-!

A player, unable to react in time, was squashed and died.

Kill it!
