Episode 317
317. Test
Min-ri Min pretended to know, but Ryu-min did not reply.
“The person I met then turned out to be Black Scythe… … “The world is such a small place.”
“… … .”
“But why did you do that? “You lied to me and said you were an ordinary person.”
I guess I was always wondering why I was losing my mind.
The reason he hid his identity.
“It’s no big deal. “He didn’t know about me, so I was just joking around.”
“Then why are you in the cafe I’m at…” … .”
“Is there any reason why I shouldn’t go to a cafe?”
“… … .”
“I just ran into you by chance, so don’t worry about it.”
“Well, I see.”
“Now explain it in front of people.”
“yes… … .”
There was something strange about it, but Minjoo-ri turned her head with understanding.
“Hello, this is Buffer Democracy. First, since you probably know the other skills, I will reveal the max level skill first. My max level skill is called [Double Buff], and the buff effect I received once is applied again… … .”
As expected, Min-ri Min’s max level skill was also useful.
‘I can’t believe I can receive the buff multiple times. ‘It’s fraudulent.’
I don’t know if other classes’ buffs apply, but I need to test it.
‘It’s a disadvantage that it can only be used on one target, but that alone is huge.’
The same was true not only for Minjoo-ri but also for other occupations.
After listening, there were no skills that fell short of expectations.
‘These are skills I’ve never heard of before, but they can be useful if you plan a good strategy.’
In fact, there was not a single max level skill that Ryumin knew.
It’s not because he was the only player who reached max level and survived until round 20.
That’s why I asked people for explanations.
To check the max level skills of other occupations and see if there are any that can be utilized.
‘I can see how to strategize.’
Ryumin, who hesitated, spoke after everyone had finished explaining.
“Let’s take a short break. In the meantime, I have to organize my skills and come up with a strategy.”
At Ryumin’s command, the people dispersed and took a rest.
However, Ryumin was planning a strategy by combining the skills he had just heard in his head.
There were so many skills that it was difficult to memorize them, but Ryumin’s memory was unrivaled, so there was no problem.
At that time, someone made a face next to me.
“Black Scythe.”
It was Seo A-rin.
“No, should I call you Prophet? Or Ryu Min?”
“Call it whatever you feel comfortable with. Actor Seo.”
“Please feel free to call me Mr. Ryu Min. “Why are you suddenly speaking so politely?”
“I’m younger.”
“When you just got up to the podium, you spoke informally… … .”
“It was a black scythe back then. “Wouldn’t it be awkward if the black scythe suddenly spoke politely?”
“That’s right. Hehehe.”
Seo A-rin smiled, but only for a moment.
I erase my smile to see if I have something serious to say.
“Hey, Ryumin. “I want to ask you something.”
“Please speak.”
“What happened with Min-ri Min? “He said something strange.”
“… … “What are you talking about?”
Even thinking about it again, Seo A-rin said with a look of absurdity.
“Are you asking who Ryu Min is?”
“… … .”
“Even when I told you to stop messing around, you really acted like you didn’t know? Why on earth is that like that? “What happened?”
“Oh, that’s it… … .”
Ryumin, who was hesitant to speak, spoke in a low voice.
“We had a bit of a fight.”
“So you’re just pretending not to know?”
“yes. So, Actor Seo, please don’t ask any more questions and just adjust to the rhythm.”
“ah… … all right.”
As Seo A-rin nodded and turned around, a dejected voice was heard in her head.
-Is it a love fight? I feel somewhat bitter.
It was Seo A-rin who sighed, but it was Ryu Min who felt bitter.
‘If we fought, we can at least reconcile. ‘There’s no chance for that now, right?’
There was no possibility of reconciliation with Minjoo-ri, and they had truly become strangers.
‘I can’t help it. We have no choice but to move forward for each other.’
Ryu Min shook his head once and looked for Victor.
“ah! “Black Scythe.”
“Black Scythe?”
Victor and Sophia’s expressions brightened noticeably when they saw Ryumin.
It was Ryumin who completely won the favor of the two by saving them from the devil last time.
“I want to know the potion progress.”
“Ah, the potion of life?”
“yes.”
“I currently have 51 life potions. “I was able to make this much thanks to the materials provided by Black Scythe.”
“thank you. Can I share it with people? “There might come a situation where we have to save each other.”
“Sure. Would you like to give me the Black Scythe as well?”
“I would appreciate it if you could give it to me.”
Victor nodded and was about to take out several items, but Ryumin waved his hand.
“Please give me one. “I don’t need anything more than that.”
Like Resurrection, the Life Potion has a cooldown of 1 hour.
This means that just because you have a lot of potions doesn’t mean you can save everyone.
The best thing was to share it with each other like now.
“There are additional healing potions and potions that increase various stats, right? “I’d like you to share those with people too.”
“I already made enough with that in mind. haha!”
Ryumin smiled after Victor and gathered people together.
Then Victor approached and handed out potions of each type one by one.
Afterwards, Ryu Min, who had finished planning the strategy, explained the strategy to the people.
“Round 20 is likely to be the round where you take on the boss. And no matter which boss appears, I will face it first. “It would be better than causing unnecessary damage.”
People also nodded in agreement.
It would be wise to use the strongest black scythe first to determine the level of the boss.
“If the boss is a weak guy, he will die easily by my hands, but what if he isn’t? Even if you attack, it is highly likely that you will not suffer much damage. So, it is better to focus on defense rather than stepping forward as much as possible.”
In short, it means stepping back because it will only be a burden.
A bitter smile appeared on people’s lips.
“Professions that can attack from a distance can fire support from behind. However, melee occupations should avoid stepping forward as much as possible and instead use tactics such as escorting long-distance attacking players. From now on, I will explain the tactics I have in mind one by one… … .”
The players listened to Ryumin’s explanation as if they would not miss a single word.
With the last round left, they also had a strong will to attack.
After a long explanation, the briefing ended.
“… … My explanation ends here. Make sure everyone is familiar with the strategy, and if there is anything you don’t know, ask leader Eom Jun-seok. “Then let’s disperse quickly before the sun sets.”
Ryumin came down from the stage and looked for two people among the scattered crowd.
“Yamti. John Delgado. “You guys can stay for a little while.”
“yes.”
Only after the people had disappeared did Ryumin open his mouth.
“Yamti. “Your max level skill was boss-level taming, right?”
“yes.”
“Tell me in detail. What does it say in the description?”
“To be exact, it says that you can tame boss-level monsters. However, it is also written that it is impossible beyond a certain level.”
“You don’t know what the certain level is?”
“yes.”
It would really be helpful if you could tame boss level bosses.
It was as if one player was added.
‘The problem is to what level the boss can be tamed.’
There was a need to test this.
“You two have somewhere to go with me.”
“yes? “Where are you going?”
The corners of Ryumin’s mouth slightly rose.
“devildom.”
* * *
Three people appeared in the quiet Demon King Castle.
“ah!”
“… … .”
Yamti and John Delgado were instantly transported to another space, but there was no other reason why they were surprised.
[You left your seat during the round.]
[If the player does not return to the venue within 1 hour, the player will be disqualified.]
[Time remaining until disqualification: 00:59:59]
It was an ominous warning message that caught people’s attention.
‘A message appears not only when you’re in another world, but even when you leave reality.’
I think this message appears when the player leaves the dimension.
‘This isn’t a prisoner who went out… … .’
I was once again filled with anger at being stranded wherever I went, but the other two people didn’t have the presence of mind to do so.
“A strange message has appeared, master.”
“If you don’t return within an hour, you will be disqualified… … .”
“I know. “I’m seeing the same message.”
“What happens if I am disqualified?”
“As a player, your skills will disappear and you will be out of the game of survival.”
“Then isn’t that a good thing?”
“Instead, I have to live in the demon world? “Can you do it?”
At those words, the two closed their mouths as if they had made a promise.
At that time, a method flashed through Yamti’s mind.
“uh? Wait. There is a way! Master, all you have to do is take me, who has been disqualified, back to reality! Then we can save many people from the game of survival… … .”
“Are you afraid I haven’t thought of that? I’d like to, but normal people can’t warp together. “The moment you warp, your body can’t hold on and falls apart.”
“ah… … .”
Seeing Yamti looking disappointed, I guess he really wanted to get out of the survival game, even though he didn’t say anything.
“Anyway, why did you bring us to the demon world…? … .”
“I have something to test.”
After saying that, Ryumin closed his eyes and stood still.
They were trying to contact high-ranking nobles, but the two people who didn’t know that could only look at them in confusion.
“It will be here soon.”
“yes? Who is coming… … .”
At that moment, the demon nobles who arrived through the portal appeared one by one.
There were a total of ten high-ranking demons, starting from Sitri in first place and Bifrons in tenth place.
“Let me introduce you. “These are my men.”
[Did you call me, King?]
Yamti and John Delgado gaped at the sight of the demons all kneeling and bowing their heads.
I had heard that my master had become the ruler of the demon world, but it felt real when I saw how he was actually treated.
“It’s okay, raise your head.”
Ryumin waved his hand as if it was a burden and gave an order to the demons who raised their heads.
“Everyone, stand sideways. No, not that way, this way.”
He pointed to the demons lined up in a row and spoke to Yamti.
“Now, try taming the one you want among these.”
“yes? “Taming?”
“I heard you can tame a boss level boss.”
“But it says it’s only for monsters… … .”
“You never know. “These guys might be able to do it too.”
In Ryumin’s eyes, there was no difference between monsters and demons.
Although there is a difference between having intelligence and not having intelligence.
“Taming a demon… … Are you trying to use me as a summons?”
“uh.”
“After all, you are the Demon King. “Can’t we just warp and take him there?”
“I’m saying this because it doesn’t work.”
I’ve already tried warping with a demon.
If you can take it, you can use it as strength to defeat the boss in round 20.
However, the only person Ryumin could take with him was Sitri, the number one in the Demon World.
“You saw Sitri before in round 19, right? Only this guy can be taken to the other world. “No other demons.”
“why?”
“It’s because of the demon world’s rule that only those ranked first can escape the restrictions of dimensional travel.”
“The other demons got over it just fine.”
Yamti was talking about the demon invasion along with Plunictos in the 19th round.
‘That’s because the demons were able to cross over to the other world thanks to the private route opened by Artaros, and now that it’s blocked, it’s impossible.’
There was no need to explain that fact straight away.
“It was possible then, but not now. “That’s all I know.”
“ah… … .”
“So I want you to try. “Is it possible to tame demons except Sitri?”
If it works, even demons can use it with all their might.
