Chapter 264 - End of Round 16
Damiel couldn't believe what he was seeing before his eyes.
"Wow, Baruel is so vain..."
Despite his atrocious personality, Baruel was famous for his skill even among the first-class combat angels.
It wasn't fair for someone so powerful to be defeated so helplessly.
[Oh, everyone... ?]
Suddenly, Damiel realized he couldn't speak.
Something happened in front of him and his vision faded.
Boom!
(The first-class angel 'Damiel' has been defeated!)
[Stat points +10,876]
[Gold +108,760,768]
[Number of angels slain: 4/100]
Damiel wasn't the only one whose neck was broken.
Pop-crack-pop-crack-pop-crack!
The angels' heads twisted instantly, with no one having time to react.
Some were struck in the chest by a dagger of darkness and died instantly.
Ten corpses lay on the ground in this manner.
It was a pointless death for the first-class combat angels.
"Damn angels."
Under the mask, Ryu Min was filled with rage.
If he had arrived a little earlier, Min Juri wouldn't have died.
"No, it's not too late yet."
Ryu Min took out a Life Potion from his inventory.
A legendary potion that can resurrect a dead player.
Fortunately, he had one on hand.
If the corpse has been dead for more than 10 minutes or the body is damaged more than 30%, it cannot be revived...
"Fortunately, Min Juri meets the conditions."
When the possibility of resurrection appeared, he placed Min Juri's corpse on his lap and recited the initial words.
'Use.'
The effect appeared immediately.
The pierced heart and armor were repaired as if it were a lie, and warmth returned.
Ryu Min exhaled a sigh of relief after seeing Min Juri's eyebrows twitch.
She had barely returned from the brink of death.
"Ugh!"
"Are you awake?"
When Min Juri opened her eyes, she saw a familiar mask.
"Black Scythe... Sir?"
"Fortunately, you look well."
"Huh, when did you arrive?"
"A few hours ago."
Min Juri, dazed, only understood the situation after looking around.
"Oh, angels...!"
"Don't worry. I took care of them."
She turned her head and indeed saw the corpses of angels.
"Wow, I'm so glad. Black Scythe appeared at the right moment."
Min Juri smiled in relief, but Ryu Min couldn't laugh with her.
Thanks to him, a sixth-rank angel had turned into a first-rank angel.
Originally, the damage wasn't supposed to be so great.
"If I had been on the island in the first place, there wouldn't have been a single death..."
He felt sorry for the countless followers of the Church of the Four Gods who had died.
And for Min Juri, who was in front of him.
"Oh."
Min Juri, realizing she was in Black Scythe's arms, got up embarrassed.
"Well, what happened to me? I definitely remember being stabbed by an angel..."
Looking where she had been stabbed, there were no wounds and the armor was as good as new.
"I resurrected you."
"Really?"
"I brought you back to life with a life potion."
"Oh..."
At those words, Min Juri couldn't keep her mouth closed for a while.
She didn't even know she was dead.
"It's alright, thank you. Black Scythe. You saved my life."
"Why make such a big deal out of it?"
Ryu Min said indifferently.
The person he saved was more than a champion.
However, from the perspective of the Democratic Party, it wasn't so simple.
Literally, she had died and come back to life.
"Oh, Black Scythe! Do you have another life potion?"
"Why do you ask?"
"There's someone I want to save."
As she said this, Min Juri looked somewhere.
Following her gaze, he found Alex's body.
"He was protecting me and was killed..."
"Alex's democracy?"
Alex, who had survived until the 18th assault without help, died while trying to save Min Juri.
The battle angel had changed the planned future.
"It's a bold request, but... Can you save him?"
Ryu Min had no intention of witnessing his death either.
"There are no more life potions."
"Oh..."
"But you can save him."
Because the great mage was a talent that would be a waste to lose like this.
"Christine!"
When Christine approached at his call, he pointed to Alex.
"Can you save this person?"
"Sorry. The resurrection spell has already been used..."
Ryu Min read her thoughts and found it to be true.
"It was used to save Dorothy."
The cooldown for resurrection is 60 minutes.
Considering it can only be used on corpses dead for less than 10 minutes, this was their only chance.
"What can I do? Oh!"
Ryu Min's eyes quickly scanned the people.
The person he found was an alchemist.
"Victor. Do you have a life potion? There are people I need to save."
"I only made one."
"Could you use it on this person?"
"As much as you want."
Victor readily accepted Ryu Min's request.
When used on Alex's chest, his wound healed and he regained consciousness.
"Whew, what happened? Angels..."
"Black Scythe organized it. I saved you with a potion."
"Iced coffee..."
Alex looked in bewilderment and thanked Victor and Ryu Min.
"Thank you, thank you so much."
Ryu Min smiled behind his mask as he looked at Alex, who felt relieved.
This saved everyone who needed it.
"But there are more dead."
Almost 50 people died at the hands of the battle angel.
These four months passed with only a few minutes' delay.
Even if half were destroyed anyway, there was no way to feel happy about being killed by an angel.
[Time remaining until the end of the round: 00:00:00]
[The round has ended!]
When the time was up, the voice of the guiding angel he had been hearing came to his mind.
"It's time. This concludes the round. How is it? Did you manage to stop the monsters? A lot of people were surprised when a surprise guest appeared during the sixth final summoning, right? Laughing."
"Did you know a battle angel would appear?"
"As expected, the receptionist was also part of the group."
"Damn, Angel Beach!"
The people who thought the angel couldn't hear were murmuring curses.
It was worth it.
There were many deaths due to the sudden appearance of a battle angel.
"There's nothing to be ashamed of. It's not like the system has deceived you one or two times. Tsk tsk. Let's see how many people have died? Hmm? 528 people... You survived more than expected against a sixth-rank angel?"
It's first class, not sixth class, but the information sent to the angel doesn't seem to be that.
"Anyway, since most survived, we should take the time to disappear. This round, like last time, the first place will decide the remaining rankings."
"First place?"
People buzzed and looked at Ryu Min.
With a curious look as to whether he would take first place this time as well.
"So, what is the standard for determining the first place? The person who caused the most damage to the angels will be first."
"Then it's Black Scythe."
"Also..."
People resigned themselves, as if there was nothing to be surprised about anymore.
Sure enough, a message appeared in front of everyone.
"The player who inflicted the most damage on the battle angel in round 16 was 'Black Scythe.'"
"The player 'Black Scythe' has the authority to adjust the rankings for round 16."
"First place cannot be replaced by Black Scythe himself."
"Rank from 2 to 288."
"Second and third places will receive special rewards, and the rest will receive the same rewards regardless of ranking."
"First, say the player's nickname you wish to designate as second place."
Ryu Min, who once again assumed great responsibility, shouted the nickname.
"Min Juri."
"Second place is 'Min Juri.'"
"Please specify the third place."
"Christine."
Second and third places were, as always, two people.
Since these two are important positions, it was necessary to train them more intensively than other classes.
Considering their contribution to the party, the two people are overwhelmingly numerous.
After that, I sang from 4th to 15th place without worries.
Focus on your own forces that you must lead until round 20.
Among them were Alex and Dorothy.
They seemed surprised, as if they didn't know they would be called so early.
"The rest will have to be filled by Cho Yong-ho's mercenaries."
From the 16th place, mercenaries were called, and after that, they were called with any name that came to mind.
So this time, too, people shouted.
"Black Scythe! Please call me by my nickname! Please..."
"My nickname is 'Kobold Blue'! Please call me just once...!"
As we approached the end, the number of people requesting increased.
There were believers who even knelt and begged.
However, Ryu Min firmly shouted the nickname without hesitation.
"I'm not happy with that. Everyone is a member of the Church of the Four Gods to which I belong."
When someone stays, another has to fall.
The number of entries was limited.
"Specify number 288."
"Kobold Blue."
"Oh my God! Thank you! Thank you!"
"Ah!"
"Nooooo!"
"Please, please save me! I don't want to die!"
People screamed, but the bus was already full.
"Aaaahhh!"
"Help me!"
After the bitter time of extinction passed, the moment of compensation inevitably came.
★ 16 Round Result Count ★
[Integrated Area CA-EA001]
1st place. Black Scythe (Reaper Level 97)
2nd place. Min Juri (Buffer Lv69)
3rd place. Christine (Priestess Level 69)
[Experience points and gold are awarded to everyone as a reward for completing round 16.]
[Experience +113.4%]
[Air +1,000,000]
[Your level has increased!]
Ryu Min's level has increased to 98.
"Now I just need to level up one more time and I'm at full level."
If you spend the points, you will immediately reach the maximum level, but that's not what Ryu Min wants.
Because he wanted to somehow use the invincibility effect that occurs at the maximum level.
"I don't know if there will be a chance to take advantage of it."
"Congratulations. You have completed the mission as first place in the area."
"Currently, 'Black Scythe' is ranked first in the area."
(A 'Bag of Infinite Materials' will be awarded as a reward for taking first place in the area!)
(A 'Special Reward Selection Box' will be awarded as a reward for taking first place in the area!)
This time, like last time, an ingredient bag came out.
It’s not really necessary, but it's a waste to throw it away.
Above all, I'm worried about the fact that the first material I saw came out by drawing.
"This time too, there might be ingredients I've never seen before."
I decided to try it later when I got home and used the special reward selection box.
[You can choose one of the following special rewards.]
[Touch the reward you desire.]
Temporary Skill: Commander (limited to round 17)
5,000,000 gold
