Episode 151
151. Reunion
They turned on the Red Moon and fired wildly at Moonlight Island.
With each swing, fifty players turn to dust and disappear.
After wiping out half the army in five attempts, he picked up the fallen god’s claw scythe.
Seogeogeogeokeuk-!
The clawed scythe extended like the grip of a giant and swept away without exception.
Even though I didn’t have to turn on the skill because it was night, I saw the effect of increasing attack speed and Moonlight Island damage.
It was one-sided.
Perhaps because I wasn’t wearing any equipment, it was easier.
For Ryumin, it was like a walking bonus.
“… … .”
“… … .”
As the massacre unfolded in real time, Victor and Yamti, who were watching, could not say anything.
I had no sympathy, nor was I happy.
I just waited for the situation to end, as if appreciating an unstoppable natural phenomenon.
At that time when almost everyone was killed.
A welcome notice appeared before Ryumin’s eyes.
[It has been confirmed that this player killed 1,000 players.]
[Obtain the title ‘Slaughterer’.]
The corners of Ryumin’s mouth slightly turned up behind the mask.
It was a title I had been waiting for.
[Title – Slayer]
– Conditions for acquisition: Obtained by killing 1,000 players.
-Effect: Damage dealt to players increases by 50%. Inflicts the status ailment ‘Fear’ on all players who witnessed the murder for 3 seconds.
The number of Plseba members killed previously and the number killed this time reached 1,000.
Then, a title was given that would allow one to not have to worry about being pushed out in a peer-to-peer match.
‘It increases damage so it’s easy to kill, and once you kill it, it spreads a fear effect around you.’
just as expected.
There were 50 test subjects in front of me, so I immediately tried to kill them with a sickle.
Soakduk-
After killing one person, the others who witnessed this stop moving like toys with worn out batteries.
Not only did I lose my will to fight, but I couldn’t even move due to fear.
Fear of abnormal status was applied properly.
‘However, the duration of fear is 3 seconds.’
It may seem like a short time, but it is definitely not a short time.
That is, if it keeps happening.
Suddenly! Suddenly!
When the other person is killed, fear occurs again and time is reset.
Kill and reset, kill and reset.
While Ryumin slaughtered the others, they were trembling and unable to move from their positions.
This is because the fear of status abnormalities was continuously applied.
‘That’s why it’s a deceptive title in person-to-person combat, especially when fighting multiple people.’
The downside is that it only applies to players, so it is not very useful.
‘But it’s still better than nothing.’
In the beginning, I didn’t even know this title existed.
The reason I noticed its existence later was none other than Ma Kyung-rok and Joo Seong-tak.
‘Every time I saw them slaughtering players, I experienced fear and thought there was something there.’
Then, after killing IS, it was only later that I learned exactly about the title.
‘But if someone sees it, they will say this. ‘Those guys aren’t crazy about murder, so how could they kill 1,000 people?’
there is.
That’s what happens in the 11th round.
When the country was unified and the number of players increased, Ma Gyeong-rok and Joo Seong-tak committed massacre.
Kills players from other countries indiscriminately.
To get those damn points.
‘I’ll probably get the title of slayer in the process this time too.’
It doesn’t matter if someone else gets the title of slayer.
However, Ryu Min did not like the idea of his opponent gaining the power to oppose him.
‘It feels bad to be afraid.’
Of course, even if it gets stuck in 3 seconds, it will be released in 0.3 seconds due to its high resistance.
But the truth is that I don’t even like having to deal with something like that.
Above all, if so many people die, the number of survivors in subsequent rounds decreases.
That’s why Ryu Min wants to deprive the two of them of the opportunity to earn the title.
‘I am the only one who should get the title of slayer.’
If you just do what you did in the previous episode, there will be no problem.
There is still some time left until the 11th round.
Churralalak- Tak!
Ryumin recovered the stretched scythe to its original state and disarmed it.
Because I never stood up anymore.
‘It smells bad, like trash.’
When I looked up, I saw countless piles of corpses forming a hill.
Half of them perished without even a trace of flesh left due to the damage they could not handle.
A fight of about 500 to 1.
The result of the fight, which was not fair in terms of numbers, was an overwhelming victory for 1.
Ryumin wrinkled his nose and erased the traces of the corpses.
There were so many that erasing them was a task.
After a while, after the miserable scene had been completely cleared away, Ryumin turned his gaze to the side.
Items voluntarily given away by the dead are scattered all over the world.
‘I’m glad the inventory has infinite storage capacity. ‘You can have all these items to yourself.’
He worked his way up from a human trafficking ring in Nigeria, found IS, and rescued the alchemist.
After controlling al-Baghdadi, he used him to make him spit out items.
And by killing unarmed players, he reached 1,000 people and even obtained a title.
Everything went as planned.
‘Now all that’s left is to win the alchemist’s heart.’
I turned my gaze and saw Victor and Yamti coming out of the building.
Victor was distraught at the sight of hundreds of people being massacred, but he soon came to his senses and asked Ryu Min.
“Is it all over? … ?”
“For now, the bugs here have been dealt with. “There was still one left.”
Ryumin’s eyes turned to al-Baghdadi.
He, who became Yamti’s limb, was told to wait quietly, so he just stood stiffly like a wooden doll.
“To make the head of IS betray… … “What on earth did you do?”
“It’s thanks to the abilities of that player named Yamti. “It is the ability to control the mind and use it as a puppet.”
“ah… … .”
I can’t believe there was such a scary woman right next to me.
Victor suddenly got goosebumps and then his face turned into a worried one.
I wonder if I too am being dominated like that.
Ryumin, reading his thoughts, smiled beneath his mask.
“Don’t worry. This ability does not work on players. “There are many restrictions.”
“ah… … “I see.”
It was a lie, but Victor believed it.
The only person he could immediately trust was his lifesaver, the Black Scythe.
“Thank you so much, Black Scythe. When you said you would fight against IS, I honestly wondered if it was possible, but you made it happen like this… … . There is hope now that wasn’t there when I was captured by IS. It’s all thanks to Black Scythe.”
“Why do you have this much?”
It was definitely successful in winning Victor’s favor.
As I read the thoughts, I am filled with not only awe but also gratitude.
‘but… … Victor doesn’t want to fight anymore.’
I could tell because it was Ryumin who read Victor’s mind.
Like an old man who wants to retire and go back to his hometown and spend the rest of his life in peace, Victor’s desire to let go of everything.
‘Victor must go with me until round 20. But I will never be able to endure with such a weak heart.’
It was a problem.
But I know the answer.
This was why Ryumin remained silent.
“What will that IS leader do now? Are you going to kill me now?”
“You can’t do that. IS has not been completely eradicated yet.”
“then… … .”
“We will use and kill you until the end. We need to use him to gather the remaining forces and put an end to the eradication of bugs. Do not worry. IS will disappear into history.”
“iced coffee… … If so, you’re in luck. You’re really good at getting things done. ah!”
Victor smiled and suddenly opened his inventory.
“Take this.”
“Isn’t this the potion you were going to give me earlier?”
“yes. I’ve collected the potions I made by type. “I would appreciate it if you accepted it as a sign of sincerity.”
Ryumin accepted the potion because he couldn’t refuse it twice.
“thank you. “I will write well.”
Looking at the items I received, there were a variety of things, including healing potions, stat potions, resistance potions, etc.
‘Are these potions that a level 40 alchemist can make?’
Although it wasn’t legendary level, it was still usable.
“It may not be enough to pay for your life, but if you need a potion at any time, please come to me and tell me. Oh, my home address is… … .”
Victor, who gave me the address, grinned.
Now it’s time to say goodbye.
“Please don’t feel pressured and come visit us. We will provide it free of charge to Black Scythe. This applies not only to reality but also to other worlds. Of course, this is only if I continue to survive the round… … .”
“Thank you.”
“Then I’ll just go. I can’t wait to go see Ricky and the kids. “So does my family.”
“Go ahead. “You can take one of those trucks over there.”
“thank you. Black Scythe and Yamti, please take care too. “I am greatly indebted to you.”
Ryu Min waved his hand and let Victor go without any regrets.
After getting some distance away, Yamti asked.
“Is that how the alchemist is sent? master?”
“yes. “You promised to provide me with a potion at any time.”
“Then the goal has been achieved?”
“no.”
Ryumin looked at Victor’s back and shook his head.
“What I want is to take Victor to the 20th round. But Victor doesn’t have the heart to do that yet. Because I’m tired. Because I achieved my goal of seeing my family before I die. “I got to a point where I didn’t care what happened to the rest of my life.”
Playing 20 rounds with a player who has no desire to survive?
There was no way it was possible.
Ryumin didn’t like it either.
“So what are you going to do now?”
“Whatever. “We have to return the alchemist’s heart.”
Boom-
Ryumin, who was watching the truck start and leave, gave instructions to Yamti.
“Tell al-Baghdadi. Guide me to the place where the alchemist’s potions are stored. In the meantime, I… … .”
Ryumin took off his mask and said.
“I’m picking up some items.”
* * *
Marcus was a simple man who was also captured by IS.
He was also a school teacher in Lagos and was the most trustworthy person after Black Scythe.
“Mr. Marcus!”
“Oh, Victor. “You’re safe!”
He went to Marcus’ house and was able to see it.
Ricky and the kids come running after spotting him.
“mister!”
“Ricky! How have you been?”
“You really came!”
“then. “You said you were coming to get me.”
“But what happened? What about IS?”
After a reunion with a smile, Victor explained the whole story to Marcus.
“IS brought in 500 players, but Black Scythe defeated them all. “You don’t have to worry anymore.”
“Really? “You beat 500 to 1?”
Marcus, who was once again reminded of the power of the black scythe, asked Victor.
“What are we going to do now?”
“Whatever. “I have to go back home.”
“Uncle, are you going already?”
In response to Ricky’s question, which seemed to be regretful and filled with tears, Victor patted his head.
“I have to go. “I came here to see if you guys were safe in the first place.”
“Hey… … .”
“don’t worry. Because Mr. Marcus’ house and my house are close. I’ll come see you often while I’m here. “I’m doing well so far.”
“Yes, got it.”
Victor grinned and prepared to leave.
“Mr. Marcus. Please take care of the children until their parents are found. If you need help, let me know. “Do you remember my home address?”
“okay. I understand, so don’t worry and go home quickly. “My family will be worried.”
“Yes, Thanks. then.”
Victor waved his hand and immediately drove the car and headed toward his house.
‘Are you visiting after a year?’
1 year ago.
Victor, who lived with his parents and five-year-old younger sister, was unfortunately kidnapped by IS.
Simply because he is a doctor.
‘He threatened me that if I didn’t treat the wounded, he would go to my family and kill them.’
Victor, who had been threatened, ended up serving as a medical officer for IS for a year.
In the process, the only driving force that allowed Victor to endure after seeing all kinds of bad things was his family.
I held on and held on, dreaming only of this moment of meeting my family.
And after a while, that moment will come true.
“Whew. “We’ve finally arrived.”
Victor arrived near the house, abandoned the car, and walked home.
The more I walked, looking at the familiar scene, the more my heart pounded as if it would explode.
And finally.
Sigh-
I was able to meet Victor when I opened the front door.
I miss my family so much.
“Rain, rain, rain, Victor?”
“mother… … .”
Grumbling-
The mother and son hugged each other without even having time to wipe away their flowing tears.
“Victor? “Victor came?”
The solemn father also came out of the room and joined the crowd of tears when he saw his son.
The parents and son hugged each other tightly, confirming that each other was alive.
“You’re alive. “Thank goodness, I’m so glad.”
“I thought you were dead.”
“Hehehehe, I’m alive and well like this, father and mother.”
“Nothing like this, let’s go in. “Let’s go in and talk about what happened.”
“yes. But what about Sophia?”
Sophia was Victor’s younger sister.
Since I couldn’t see my younger brother, I naturally asked, but for some reason, a look of confusion appeared on my parents’ faces.
“iced coffee… … That’s it… … .”
Victor was shocked when he heard the situation.
