Episode 161
161. Great reward
Ryu Min first saw the Seven Archangels in episode 68.
‘At that time, it was time to overcome the demon’s 15th round and slaughter the angels in the 16th round.’
Ryumin, who was killing angels because he could not control his anger, was speechless when the angel suddenly appeared.
I was literally overwhelmed.
He was on a different level from the battle angels I had seen so far.
‘Did you say his name was Michael?’
I didn’t even dare to think about attacking that guy.
Ryumin was so weak that he couldn’t even break the 99th floor of the Tower of Trials.
‘Well, I encountered it several times after I broke through the 99th floor, but I just passed by. There was no reason to take risks.’
But the angel who appeared today was very disappointing.
It was a skill that fell short of expectations.
‘Is it because he is the lowest among the seven? He’s weaker than I thought. Or am I too strong?’
We had to seize the momentum early on, so we pushed ahead without giving up.
But I only realized it after watching its movements a few times.
Remiel is an angel who is much slower and weaker than himself.
‘It would be a waste to kill him like this.’
Thinking like that, Ryumin cut off the guy’s limbs with the Red Moon and Moonlight Island combo.
I could have killed him, but I deliberately kept him alive.
Because I wanted to attract other angels.
[Off… … .]
[Ugh… … .]
The result was as you see now.
Fifty third-rate battle angels were spread out on the floor.
Their limbs were torn and most of them became corpses rolling around on the floor.
There were some who weren’t dead yet.
[The third-class angel ‘Roichel’ has been defeated!]
[Stat points+32]
[Gold+327,120]
[Number of angels killed: 100/100]
[The conditions for using the Devil’s Blessing have been met.]
[You can use it when you want by memorizing the ‘Devil’s Blessing’ starter word.]
I just killed the last living angel.
Except only Remiel.
Then, I filled 100 angels and was able to use the devil’s blessing.
‘I’ll have to use it next time I have to kill an angel again.’
Ryumin looked at Remiel, who was left alone.
At first glance, it was so shabby that it seemed like it was a corpse, as it had no arms or legs.
“this. All of your subordinates are dead, right? “What should I do?”
[Yes, this guy… … .]
Sparks flew from the eyes that looked as if they were going to kill.
Even though his situation was like this, his eyes were still intact.
“You don’t know that your pride is sky-high even in this situation. Is it really worth it if I reign as one of the seven archangels for a long time?”
[What on earth are you? How do you have that kind of power? Why doesn’t the assassination work? What is the reason you kill angels?]
Despite the barrage of questions, Ryu Min just twisted his lips and smiled.
What is the reason for killing an angel?
That’s simple.
Because there is a reward.
‘Don’t you know that even the seven archangels can obtain items by killing angels?’
It was truly ridiculous.
The angels who were thought to be the organizers of the game were actually being used by someone else.
‘Am I being taken advantage of by the system? Then, there is a high possibility that the person who created the system was behind the scenes.’
I don’t know who the mastermind was, but from Ryu Min’s point of view, I couldn’t help but be thankful.
Because it made him strong enough to stand up to the angel.
“What is the reason?”
Ryumin’s steps headed towards Remiel.
First of all, it seemed more advantageous for him not to say that he would receive compensation.
“Do you still say such nonsense after seeing what you angels have done to humans?”
[…] … .]
“Please change your position and think. 1.8 billion people who were living peacefully died. Those who survived are suddenly playing a survival game. And the hosts are angels. “Wouldn’t you want to kill me?”
Remiel remained silent, but Ryumin knew.
That guy doesn’t listen to himself at all.
-Shit. What do we do? I think they’ll kill you right away if they show you a sign of memorizing the return spell… … .
When I read his thoughts, I saw that he was playing Crayon Shin-chan with the only brain he had left.
-How do I overcome the situation? Should we self-destruct by releasing all the current and divine power as planned? Then you can do some damage… … . Instead, I won’t give up without even seeing that person die. Damn it.
I am trying to find a way to live well even though I have no arms or legs.
It seems he really hates being killed by humans.
“Why is there no answer? “Do you want to die?”
[…] … I understand. Your human heart. Yes, in your eyes we will look like the devil. But it is unavoidable.]
“You can’t help it?”
[There are too many human beings. Because of you humans, the natural ecosystem is being destroyed and resources are being depleted.]
“Whatever that is. Have humans done anything to harm you angels? “There isn’t one.”
[Why is there no damage? Your very existence is unpleasant and verminous to us angels. Isn’t it your duty as a high-ranking angel to control the number of bugs so they don’t grow any further?]
“… … .”
Remiel’s words were not that new to Ryumin.
I’ve heard it before through an angel.
Why they hate humans.
That was the same reason humans hate bugs.
‘Still, this is the first time I’ve heard of something like this being done to reduce the human population.’
I got some information.
That won’t change anything.
“In the midst of all this, you haven’t said a word to save me? “Do you really want to die?”
[Who broke the offer first? How shameless.]
“If you think that way, you can’t help it. “Goodbye.”
[Now, wait a minute.]
Deep!
I stabbed my heart.
The angel’s heart seems to be in the same position, and the sound of the wind falling is heard.
[Kuhuhuhhh… … .]
Squeak-!
He swung the sickle and cut off the head.
When I read his thoughts before he died, he seemed to be bitter about not being able to self-destruct.
‘There is nothing to be upset about. I’m not the one who will die from that kind of self-destruction.’
You have a title that reduces damage received from divine opponents by 80%.
There are also titles that nullify mental damage.
Since half of the attacks using their divine power consist of mental damage, the damage received can be further reduced.
‘Fortunately, there is a title that resurrects even if one dies.’
After a while, Ryumin’s eyes turned to the message floating in the air.
[7 archangels ‘Lemiel’ have been defeated!]
[Stat points+817]
[Gold+8,178,000]
Stat points and gold came in that were incomparable to those of ordinary angels.
This is all thanks to the devil’s blessing.
‘I said the maximum stat point is 10%, but I only got 2%? Gold can be multiplied up to 1,000 times, but I only received 200 times the amount.’
It was a disappointment for Ryu Min, who expected the maximum.
They say he was the lowest among the archangels, but he seemed to be of low rank.
‘But thanks to you, I accumulated a lot of stats and gold.’
As a result of capturing 100 battle angels and archangels, 3,049 stat points and over 30 million gold were received.
In terms of level, it was no exaggeration to say that the level had risen by 1,500 by simple calculation.
It’s not just this.
[‘Condensed Ether’ was given as a reward for killing Archangel Remiel.]
[‘Lightning Rune’ was given as a reward for killing Archangel Remiel.]
[The acquired runes are automatically imprinted on the player’s body!]
God grade materials and even rune rewards were released.
[Lightning Rune]
-Effect: You can summon lightning from your hand and use it in various ways. Magic damage is proportional to intelligence.
└ Ejection ▶ Fires like a laser and deals magic damage equal to 1,200% of intelligence.
└ Charging ▶ Deals 800% magic damage and pushes enemies back more than 15m.
└ Wide-area release ▶ Emits a current in a 30m radius, inflicting 400% wide-area damage.
└ Amplification ▶ Contains electric current in the body, increasing attack speed and movement speed by 100%.
└ Self-destruction ▶ Releases all current in a 100m radius, inflicting 3,600% area damage. The damage at this time also applies to yourself.
It was a rune that reflected the abilities used by Remiel.
Of course, it was also the first rune I saw.
‘If you just look at the effect, it’s amazing, right?’
I liked the damage, but I also liked the additional effects.
‘You can use electric current to push enemies or increase attack speed and movement speed.’
It was even more so because it was something that Ryumin didn’t have.
‘It seems like intelligence is affected because it’s magic damage.’
Ryumin opened the status window.

-Gold held: 32,687,000
-Stat points remaining: 3,049
The highest stat was already intelligence.
We didn’t invest much in intelligence.
‘If it’s too much of a hassle to scythe this thing, there’s no problem with fighting like a wizard, right?’
As such, his intelligence was overwhelmingly high compared to his level.
Most high-level monsters can be used as electric compresses.
There were more messages that Ryumin received.
[The reputation of the devil camp has increased significantly.]
[The devil’s reputation for the Black Scythe has increased from ‘neutral’ to ‘friendly’.]
After killing Remiel, his reputation level increased significantly and he immediately became friendly.
‘It feels strange to think of being treated preferentially by the demon race.’
Of course, as there are angels in this world, there are also devils.
I’ve even met him in person.
‘The 18 rounds were a quest to fight the devil.’
That was when I first realized it.
That the devil is not as bad as the media makes it out to be.
‘It’s just a difference in race.’
Just like humans, they looked different and had different thoughts.
There was no difference from humans.
It was from then on that the prejudice against angels and devils was broken.
‘As far as I know, I heard that the devil’s ranking is up to 72nd place… … .’
Other than that, I don’t know any information.
I didn’t feel the need to collect information from the devil’s side.
If you think about it, Ryumin’s opponent was an angel, not a devil.
‘Stats, gold, God grade materials, runes, and even reputation.’
I really gained a lot.
‘Is this the end of the reward?’
It was then.
[There is a hidden soul binding quest!]
‘Soul Binding Quest?’
A quest message I saw for the first time came to mind.
