The 100th Regression of the Max-Level Player Novel - Chapter 224
Chapter 224 – The Decisive Battle
[The location of the target ‘Uriel’ has been identified.]
[Currently at a distance of 601 meters.]
Ryu Min, who was waving his black wings as he floated in the sky, checked the remaining distance.
“It seems like we’re getting closer bit by bit.”
Thanks to his tracking skill, finding an angel wasn’t difficult.
However, even after an hour, he didn’t expect to be in the Forest of Demonic Beasts.
“Did it take time to call for reinforcements?”
He wondered how many reinforcements they had summoned while he was away.
“I hope it’s been more than 99.”
With a nervous feeling, he activated the exploration skill around him.
There were numerous red dots all over the Forest of Demonic Beasts.
“This… is better than I expected, isn’t it?”
Counting the heads, they easily exceeded 100, reaching close to 200.
It wasn’t an illusion.
As he approached within 100 meters, the certainty increased.
[Within a 100-meter radius, there are 202 enemies.]
[With the effect of the runes, all attributes increase by 100%.]
“It’s clear. Except for the two archangels, I’ve summoned 200.”
He did it to ensure handling the situation, but it turned out to be beneficial.
“Could I even use the devil’s blessing and stack the bonus again?”
Ryu Min, suppressing the laughter trying to come out, slowly descended to the ground.
In the forest turned into a battlefield, Raguel and Uriel watched him silently.
“Of course, they knew I was coming. That’s why they prepared this surprise event.”
Even though he tried to hide among the trees to carry out a surprise attack, being Ryu Min with his detection ability, he couldn’t go unnoticed.
“Am I that obvious? You don’t need mind-reading for this.”
While the archangels averted their gaze, Ryu Min slowly approached them.
“Are you two still here?”
[Because some damned insect tore off my wings.]
“Can’t you walk without wings? How pitiful.”
Raguel’s expression wrinkled at the trivial provocation.
Seeing the boy faltering at such simple provocations, Ryu Min couldn’t help but laugh.
“Well, are you holding back laughter because of strategy, huh?”
After Raguel sighed, he spoke in a tone that would draw attention.
[Why did you run away? Were you afraid of us when you didn’t even turn around to look at us?]
“There are only two of us. Are we that terrifying?”
[Isn’t it because you can’t use your abilities that turn black?]
“Ah, this?”
Ryu Min immediately activated his Death God skill.
[…!]
Uriel and Raguel’s eyes widened in surprise at seeing it.
“Why? Are you surprised? Has the cooldown already reset?”
[…]
“Why did you run away and then come back? Because I’m confident in myself, that’s all.”
On the verge of starting the battle at any moment, Uriel urgently shouted.
[Attack!]
With that signal, the 200 soldiers hidden in the forest revealed their presence in unison.
[Waaaah!]
Fifth-level angels wielded their weapons and headed towards their black targets.
Even the archangels didn’t stand still.
“I’ve been waiting for you to transform like this! Hahaha, I’ll kill you!”
Raguel revealed his wicked heart and leaped with his subordinates.
Urie prepared a spell to dominate Ryu Min from behind.
Even though all the angels were running towards him to kill him, Ryu Min still maintained a relaxed attitude.
“Should I show a bit of my skill?”
The moment he thought that, Ryu Min’s figure disappeared like a ghost.
“Eh?”
The angels instantly lost their target.
The light scroll prepared by Uriel also wrapped around the air before disappearing.
“Where did this human go?”
Both Raguel and Uriel were baffled.
Ryu Min’s figure wasn’t even visible to the eyes of the archangels.
“It seems even archangels can’t detect invisibility. Or is it because of the runes that eliminate any trace?”
Ryu Min, who had gained valuable information, moved like the wind.
Sounds of something breaking and falling were heard.
When they looked to where the sounds were coming from, they saw dead angels with twisted necks.
“Archangel! Look here, quick!”
Ryu Min, who turned his head in an instant, grabbed another angel’s head.
Crack! Thud!
“Angels eliminated: 21/100.”
Ryu Min, who had killed more than 20 without realizing, quickly filled the number.
“Here! The human is here!”
A soldier shouted, but it wasn’t necessary to say.
Raguel and Uriel also watched in astonishment as their subordinates fell.
“This is incredible. What kind of speed is that?”
“We can’t even keep up with him with our eyes.”
Ryu Min’s movements were as fast as flashes of light.
Once they found him, he had already broken their necks and was gone.
Only traces were left.
There was no time for onlookers to blink.
“Kill him! Kill him now!”
Even with Raguel’s order, the combat angels couldn’t move.
How do you kill an enemy you can’t even follow with your eyes?
Even if they tried to slash him, they would only cut traces.
They couldn’t follow Ryu Min’s movements in any way.
Thud, thud, thud…
“Damn it!”
As the losses kept increasing, Raguel and Uriel grew nervous.
The forest was now filled with soldiers’ corpses.
“Stop him! Everyone, run towards him!”
Perhaps because it was frustrating to be attacked so desperately?
Uriel, who had been calm before, shouted in frustration, but there was no response.
“There’s no other choice. I must burn this entire area.”
With that thought, Uriel raised his dagger towards the sky and recited a spell.
Bright light gathered at the tip of the dagger.
“Uriel, are you really going to use that spell? If you mess up, even our soldiers…”
“There’s no other choice. Do you think you can stop that crazy monster? Hmm?”
Raguel, who was left speechless, clenched his lips tightly.
To anyone’s eyes, Black Scythe was a beast.
Even following his dark form with the eyes was overwhelming.
He was so supernaturally fast that he couldn’t even be considered human as he was an hour before.
Stop him? Raguel muttered silently as he unsheathed his sword.
“Impossible.”
Even for Uriel, blocking him seemed utterly unattainable, as he licked his cheek.
“Soldiers are dying right now. This is the only way.”
“But…”
“Speak no more. Your speech is delaying the spell. Tsk.”
“I’m sorry.”
Uriel licked his cheek and continued reciting the spell.
However, Uriel didn’t know.
Although he moved frantically, Ryu Min’s gaze never lost sight of the archangels.
He had already noticed even what kind of spell they were preparing.
“He’s going to completely wipe out all his followers within a 100-meter radius.”
Ryu Min, realizing they were preparing a massive area technique, glanced at the message.
[Angels eliminated: 100/100]
[Conditions for using the Blessing of the Devil fulfilled.]
[You can activate the Blessing of the Devil by saying the keyword at any time.]
Just at the moment he fulfilled the 100 conditions.
“There are 102 enemies within a 100-meter radius.”
[All attributes increase by 100% thanks to the effect of the rune of 100 times.]
Even with the 100 times rune.
“It’s time.”
After confirming that all the attributes he could increase were at their best state, Ryu Min cast a buff on himself.
[Devil’s Blessing activated.]
[With a current total of statistics of 363,417, the following effects will be applied.]
[When you kill an angel, you will receive gold equal to 1 times the base figure (363,417). It can increase up to 1,000 times (363,417,000) depending on the level of the angel.]
[When you kill an angel, you will receive statistic points equal to 0.01% of the base figure (36). It can increase up to 10% (36,341) depending on the level of the angel.]
[When you kill an angel, the reputation of the devil’s camp increases slightly.]
[The buff will last until the end of this round.]
With a total of statistics of approximately 360,000.
An average of 90,000 per statistic.
It was a state of incredible statistics, but there was no awe.
If he didn’t stop Uriel immediately, the valuable angels would vanish.
“The distance is too great. Then…”
Dwoong-
When he cast the Death Night, the area turned completely black.
Although 100 rank 5 archangels and two major archangels were surprised, it was only for a moment.
“Hmph, you may think to dispel the spell with artificial darkness, but it’s futile. Darkness that can extinguish heavenly light exists nowhere.”
As Raguel explained, the light gathered in the dagger still shone even in the darkness.
Finally, when the spell was completed, a faint smile formed at the corner of Uriel’s lips.
“The preparation is complete, Raguel. Brace yourself for the storm.”
At that moment, a flash surged in the darkness.
Along with some red eyes.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwang!
The Moonlight Slaughter thrown by Ryu Min eliminated 30 rank 5 archangels.
Additionally, even up to Uriel’s arm.
“Ugh…”
When the arm went flying, the cancellation of the memorized spell was natural.
Uriel looked towards the darkness where the flickering light was approaching.
“This damn bug had such a strong skill…”
It was a mistake not to investigate the abilities of a Reaper, thinking it was an easy opponent.
Perhaps because of that?
Faced with the fact that Ryu Min’s attack wasn’t over yet, Uriel and Raguel were baffled.
Cua-cua-cua-cua-!
[Angels eliminated: 67/100]
Cua-cua-cua-cua-cua-!
[Angels eliminated: 100/100]
[Conditions for using the Blessing of the Devil have been fulfilled.]
[You can activate the Blessing of the Devil at any time by reciting the keyword.]
In just six seconds, 100 angels vanished without a trace.
It was natural, as the mere touch of the powerful waves of moonlight made the bodies writhe and disappear.
“It can’t be…”
Was it shocking that all the subordinates died with three shots of the Moonlight Slaughter?
Raguel searched with unbelieving eyes the chaos-ridden forest.
“Where…? Soldiers, come out and don’t hide!”
But Raguel had no time to search for the soldiers.
There were still two rooms left.
The Moonlight Slaughter that was intentionally sent to veer off grazed Raguel’s leg.
[¡Kuah!]
He screamed in pain as he fell to the ground, but it wasn’t over yet.
Cua-cua-cua-cua-cua-!
The next Moonlight Slaughter skillfully passed and burned one of Raguel’s cheeks.
[¡Kihyaah! ¡My… my face! ¡My face!]
Ryu Min approached Uriel, ignoring the shining Raguel.
“That bug is more repulsive than a vermin.”
With a fleshless face, Ryu Min stared straight at Raguel and lunged at him as if nothing.
[That bug… ¡Kuk!]
The scythe pierced Raguel’s heart like lightning and came out.
Thud-
Ryu Min walked towards Uriel, leaving behind the fallen Archangel.
Uriel, surprised, recited a spell with one arm.
Thud-!
A prison of light fell from the sky, binding Ryu Min.
[Gotcha! I’ve got you…!]
Crack-!
With a single move, the prison shattered into pieces.
Uriel, calm, cast the next spell.
Swish-!
A scroll of light appeared in the air, wrapping around Ryu Min.
Uriel smiled calmly, as if planning something terrifying.
Crack-!
He tore it apart with force.
Although he tried unleashing storms of light, throwing explosive knives, or anything, Ryu Min didn’t suffer a scratch.
He couldn’t delay the steps of the approaching Reaper.
Thud-!
Ryu Min stopped just as he was about to reach Uriel, at a distance where his arm could reach him.
[I understand now, damn it. You were hiding your strength.]
“I needed the soldiers.”
[What? Are you implying I led you to call the soldiers?]
“Well, yes. I didn’t think of calling so many, but thanks to that, I was able to prepare the blessing for later use.”
“I appreciate that.”
Did he have a premonition that he would kill him despite saying those words?
Instead of begging for his life, Uriel spoke as death approached.
[…You’ll regret it if you kill me. Those above me won’t let you go unpunished.]
“Wouldn’t it be the same even if I didn’t kill you?”
[…]
“If you want to live, simply ask me to spare you.”
“It doesn’t seem like you intend to save me.”
“I know that very well.”
Plop…
Quickly, Uriel’s body slumped forward after his heart was stabbed.
It was a tasteless death, so swift that it wasn’t even seen when it moved.
