A story about a max level player’s 100th return, episode 38

38. How I got stabbed in the back

This is how Ryu Min got stabbed in the back by an angel.

Based on his previous experience, he showed off his overwhelming skills from the beginning of the first round, and unintentionally received the attention of the angels.

[I can’t believe I came out first in the entire district… . It’s amazing. Ryumin? answer. How can you be so strong? I got some special rune… .]

“You can tell my runes by looking at the status window, right?”

[Well, that’s right… Of course you know everything! Are you afraid that I, an angel, don’t even know your information? I know, but I was just asking.]

‘You know? About my runes?’

Ryumin was confident.

I am the only one who got a special rune that allows me to regress 100 times.

But the angel already knows by looking at his status window?

‘no. ‘If I knew I could regress, I couldn’t react like that.’

Ryumin wanted to check, so he went out a little harder.

“Then, can you tell me what my rune is?”

[…] Runes are not that easy to reveal. It would be disadvantageous if I revealed it in front of people, but is it okay?]

“It’s okay, just tell me.”

[…] … .]

“You sure you don’t know? “What are my runes?”

The angel’s fair forehead is wrinkled.

No one can see it.

Thinking that he had discovered his weakness, Ryumin pushed harder.

I also wanted to take out my anger on the angels.

“Why can’t you talk? The angel who created the system probably can’t even see the status window… Or do you really not see it? “Our information?”

[…] … .]

The source of Ryu Min’s courage like this was, of course, regression.

Even if my head exploded right here, Ryu Min could just start over.

The angel was still silent and the people were buzzing.

“You can’t see the status window?”

“Oh, that can’t be true. “The person who created this game is an angel.”

“But why can’t I speak?”

As public opinion went unfavorably, an angel came down from the earth to see what he was thinking.

[Hey, nickname is Ryumin? Would you like to talk to me separately in a quiet place?]

He released the pillar of light and motioned for Ryumin to follow him.

Ryu Min obediently followed because he was curious about what he was going to say.

The two passed through the meadow that was blocked by the wall and entered the grassy forest.

When I felt like I had come quite far, the surrounding area was completely blocked by bushes.

[It would be good to talk at this point.]

“What are you trying to say…” .”

[I’ll be honest. What humans claimed is correct. I can’t see the status window. At best, all you can do is see the quest progress.]

“ah. also… … .”

[But it would be difficult if this fact became known to the outside world. So, I would like to make a suggestion.]

“A suggestion?”

The angel smiled brightly and approached Ryumin.

He whispers in my ear, almost in close contact with me.

[I hope you keep your mouth shut without other players knowing.]

“Then, what is the benefit to me?”

[benefit? Kyohohoho!]

The angel started laughing and stabbed Ryumin in the back with the dagger he had hidden beforehand.

Phew!

“Wow!”

[Is there such a thing as a benefit? Humans like bugs are so greedy!]

When Ryumin fell due to the unexpected surprise attack, the angel stabbed him with his sword again.

Puff puff!

[how is it? Is it painful? Kyohohoho!]

“Kuhhh… .”

[It’s a human subject that won’t last until the last round anyway! It’s in everyone’s interest for people like you to die! Hohoho!]

Ryumin had no choice but to end the 12th episode in pain, leaving behind the angel’s ridicule.

* * *

‘Fuck you.’

Returning to Bosingak, where the bell-ringing ceremony was held, Ryu Min made a pledge before starting the 13th session.

‘I was too complacent. I will definitely get my revenge in that angel year.’

But can you really beat an angel who makes your head explode just by looking at him?

‘Just give it a try. ‘I have a regression.’

For that to happen, the same situation as before had to occur.

Ryu Min also took first place in the entire district and received the attention of the angels.

When he questioned the system, the angry angel lured him into the grass again.

‘In a little while, he will try to kill me with the dagger hidden in his wings.’

It would be more advantageous to surprise them first.

With that thought in mind, he ran to the angel and stabbed him with his stiletto before he could turn around.

Phew!

[Kyahak… !]

‘You get defeated this easily?’

The angel with golden blood flowing from his back turns around.

[This damned human! dare… !]

‘It’s a big deal. Our eyes met.’

For a moment I thought my head would explode, but nothing happened.

All the angel could do was flutter and glare at him.

dump!

The angel sat down and looked up at Ryumin, as if the pain in his back was severe.

[Why are you doing this to me, human! He suddenly stabbed me with a knife… !]

“It wasn’t all of a sudden. “You tried to kill me.”

[You tried to kill me!! I never thought of that… … .]

“The reason you called me here was to deal with me quietly, right? With a dagger hidden in the wing. is not it?”

[…] … .]

The guy’s expression becomes perplexed.

He was an angel who was not good at acting facial expressions.

[Whoa, what do you want?]

‘What do you want?’

Ryumin, who had never thought about it in particular, decided to dig up information.

“Answer the questions from now on. “Then let me save you.”

Ryumin found out a lot of information from the angel.

From the fact that its name is Brielle, to the fact that Sisal’s abilities are disposable, and to the fact that angels are merely guides to guide humans.

‘I thought angels were the designers, but there was a separate being who created the system.’

It was a moment when Ryumin was deep in thought.

Wow!

Brielle, who had recovered from the wound on her back, flew into the sky.

“Where!”

chin!

Ryu Min, who barely managed to pull her down by the ankle, stabbed her again.

[Kyahak!]

And then he ripped the wings off the guy’s back.

Pop! Pop!

“S-Stop it!!! Kyaaaaa!”

“If you do this, you won’t be able to escape.”

Ryumin asked for more information from the angel whose wings were torn off.

But he didn’t know much either.

Who created the system and what kind of gods are on top of it?

[I really don’t know. So please save me.]

It was an angel who was begging and wringing his hands, but Ryu Min had experienced a similar situation.

‘Even then, I foolishly saved Hwang Yong-min’s life, but was stabbed in the back and died.’

Don’t repeat the same mistake twice.

With that mindset, Ryumin drove the dagger into the angel’s heart.

dump!

Soon the angel died and the floor was stained with golden blood.

I thought this was the end, but an unexpected message came to mind.

[He murdered an angel.]

[It was confirmed that he was the first player to kill an angel.]

[Obtain the title ‘The First Angel Slayer.’]

[‘Angel’s Blood’ was obtained as a reward for killing the first angel.]

[The ‘Rune of Massacre’ was given as a reward for killing the first angel.]

[The acquired runes are automatically imprinted on the player’s body!]

It was the moment when I first received my first reward.

* * *

If you kill an angel, you will receive a reward.

Ryu Min, who first learned of this fact, thought of trying to kill the angel again if he had the chance.

‘I need to try this first before that.’

The blood of an angel obtained by killing an angel.

Looking at the explanation, it says that you can change jobs to the Shinigami class.

‘It is a unique class given that it is offered for the first time.’

This is Ryu Min, who has only worked as a hunter so far.

This time, I may be able to change jobs to a Shinigami.

Just hearing the name made him seem better than a hunter.

‘Quickly reach level 10 in the second round.’

[You have changed class to Grim Reaper. congratulations!]

Ryu Min, who became the Death God in the second round, was able to break the 6th round that had been blocked.

Although it was difficult to get used to the new weapon called the scythe, it was very easy to attack.

‘Are you crazy? A job called Shinigami?’

Ryu Min liked this job of being an angel’s natural enemy.

It was from then on.

Ryu Min abandoned his real name and changed his nickname to Black Scythe.

* * *

Since using the nickname Black Scythe in episode 14, a certain pattern has developed for Ryumin.

1. If he returns, he will be the first to perform in the first round and receive the attention of the angels.

2. Kill the angel by pretending to want more rewards and get runes and advancement items.

3. When he returns, he wakes up his younger brother and goes to Bang Tae-gyu’s hideout to take revenge.

4. Become No. 1 and move to a luxury apartment with good security.

5. Change to a Shinigami in the 2nd round and receive a sub-quest reward.

This was a fixed routine that was always executed when returning to this point.

However, in this episode, Ryu Min wanted to make a change.

‘Wouldn’t there be some reward if we catch the agent of heavenly punishment?’

I once failed to protect the relic for three rounds.

I thought they would all be destroyed because of the penalty, but I was given a mission to survive the agent of heavenly punishment for 30 minutes.

However, no player survived for 30 minutes.

I know this well because the last person to die was Ryumin.

‘This time, we’ll catch that guy while protecting everyone. There was a reward when you caught an angel, so wouldn’t an agent of heavenly punishment also appear?’

Perhaps because I got a job as a messenger, my confidence surged.

The title of doubling all stats against divine classes was also a source of confidence.

‘By the end of the wave, we will use the district representative’s leadership to destroy the artifact. Of course, if I break it myself, I might get a backlash, so I use someone else.’

The person who will use it has already been decided.

Hwang Yong-min and his friends.

Since they don’t know it’s them anyway, there’s no risk of retaliation even if they get attacked by the commander.

There is no time to retaliate anymore.

‘I’ve already gotten revenge on that guy. I saw the same pattern every time. In that case, it is better to use it in the third round.’

Hwang Yong-min was eliminated in the 6th round anyway.

So, it is better to use it as it is used before then.

‘If you want to use Hwang Yong-min to summon an agent of heavenly punishment, you must become a district representative in the second round.’

In the second round, a player named Jo Joong-sik commits murder and forces people to vote.

Until now, I had no interest in leadership, but this time was different.

Ryu Min prevented Jo Joong-sik from murdering him and brought him into submission.

Then, of course, the votes flocked to him, and he was able to become the district representative as planned.

‘Good.’ ‘It’s all as planned.’

When the third round arrived, the order was given at the end of the wave as planned.

“[Hwang Yong-min], [Don’t touch me], [Sim Seong-gyu], [Small Pepper], [Spring, Summer and Fall], [Half-Heighted Cat], [Kimchi Washing Machine], [Evande], [Morning Sunshine]… “All nine of you destroy the relics like this.”

When the relic was destroyed under the authority of the commander, a penalty was given as scheduled.

[The relic is broken.]

[The main quest failed.]

[After a while, the Agent of Heavenly Punishment will be summoned as a failure penalty for 30 minutes.]

[Survive from the Agents of Nemesis for a limited time.]

[The round does not end until the time limit expires.]

‘Good.’ Just give it a try. I’m confident.’

However, there was a fact that Ryumin overlooked.

[It has been confirmed that the relic has been attacked by a player.]

[A penalty is given to 10 players who attacked the relic.]

[All stats are permanently reduced by 50%.]

[A penalty will also be imposed on the district representative for failing to protect the relic.]

[All stats are permanently reduced by 50%.]

Not only Hwang Yong-min’s gang, but also himself was given a penalty of reduced stats.

‘ah… I never thought something like this would exist. This is too much of a loss… … .’

My confidence dropped for a moment.

Is it possible to beat an already difficult survival game with stats that have dropped by half?

I decided to abandon this episode and just focus on dealing with the Agent of Heavenly Punishment.

I know his pattern well because I saw it last time.

“Everyone, stay away from the agents of heavenly punishment! “It’s dangerous to get close!”

Ryumin issued a warning to protect innocent people.

however.

“Is that all it takes to represent the district? “Where are you giving orders?”

“Who doesn’t know it’s dangerous?”

“The mission is to survive for 30 minutes, so of course it’s dangerous.”

“But it doesn’t look that dangerous? At most, you’re only holding a cane, right? “The movements also seem slow.”

Despite Ryumin’s warning, people did not move away from the agent of heavenly punishment.

‘shit. Why aren’t you listening? ‘If you’re within a 100m radius, you’ll be trapped in the barrier.’

The military price of complacency was clear.

[The Agent of Nemesis has cast Restriction Field.]

[Cannot go out of range until the caster cancels it.]

[The stats of players in the field drop by 50%.]

From the start, 300 people were trapped in the purple barrier.

“What, what? This? Restriction field?”

“You can’t go outside?”

“Surely we are trapped?”

“Get me out of here!”

Flap-!

Numerous arrows of light pierced the bodies of the trapped people.
