Episode 184
184. Savior
When asked if he wanted to die, the necromancer could not answer.
A look completely frozen, weighed down by life.
‘No, are you shocked that the surprise attack was nullified?’
It would be surprising to see that thirty undead spirits were destroyed in one go.
Although there was a justification for killing him, Ryu Min had no intention of killing him right away.
‘The necromancer is still worth using. ‘It’s a waste to kill him like this.’
After round 11, someone will make an offer to the necromancer.
Let’s form a national union called ‘Messiah’.
‘To create a relationship with them, you need to keep the necromancer alive.’
Moreover, in the 12th round, there comes a time when the necromancer’s summoning skill is needed.
If you use him then, you can clear it more easily.
The necromancer had an extremely tense expression on his face, not knowing that he had even the slightest intention of killing him.
-Must be killed. If I stay still, I’ll die.
I could tell what he was thinking, but I tried to pretend not to know and threatened him.
“Why is there no answer? I really want to die… … .”
At that time, the necromancer aimed his staff at Ryumin’s back.
Instead of answering, what he used was the ‘corpse resurrection’ skill.
“Sooooo… … .”
When I turned my head, Douglas, who had been lying there like a corpse, stood up as if he had just died.
Tdu-duk-duk-
Christine was surprised when the zombie-like guy returned his broken neck to its original state.
It wasn’t like a spirit undead.
It was a real undead with substance.
Unlike the spirit body, the actual undead are immune to magic damage.
‘Did he summon that thing because he thought I was a wizard?’
Ryumin laughed as if it was funny.
It seemed like he was trying to figure out what to do with just one dog, but it was useless.
“Room of Dawn… … .”
Flutter-!
Douglas was about to use a skill, but before he could, his head exploded.
Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrh-tak!
Ryumin’s sickle, which had been stretched, returned to its original position.
“… … .”
The necromancer’s expression was full of surprise, as if he had never thought that the scythe would increase.
“Did you think you could fight me with just that one thing? “Well, even if you summon dozens of them, the result will be the same.”
“What is your identity… … “Aaaah!”
The necromancer stopped talking and screamed.
This is because Ryumin mercilessly cut off one of his arms.
“It’s out of balance. “I’ll cut the other side too.”
Before I could say anything, the other arm fell down with a feeling of passing by.
“Kwaaaaak!”
Next is the left leg.
dump-!
“You lost your balance? That should be it… … .”
The right leg was also cut cleanly.
“Kwaaaaak!”
As the limb was amputated, Ryu Min stroked his chin and pondered.
“What should we cut now? “Is there anything else other than the head?”
Looking at the trembling necromancer, it looks like he might die at any moment.
That’s when the scythe moves menacingly once again.
“wait a minute! “Please don’t kill me!”
Ryumin stopped his scythe at Christine’s words.
I had no intention of killing him in the first place.
“Why are you blocking it?”
“This man’s men are fighting with our colleagues nearby. “If you take him alive, he will definitely stop fighting.”
“So, let’s take this guy hostage and stop the fight?”
“It may be shameless to ask you a favor. “It’s because I’m worried about my colleagues.”
After speaking so earnestly, Ryumin had no choice but to lower his scythe.
‘The fight is already over, though.’
With his clairvoyance, Ryu Min already understood the situation on the other side.
The saint’s followers were defeated.
They were all killed, and all that remained were about 170 necromancer’s followers.
Without knowing that fact, Christine believed that it was not too late and that she could be saved.
‘First of all, I must not kill him.’
Although he had no intention of killing him from the beginning, Ryumin nodded condescendingly.
“If you ask so.”
A warm light from the hand enveloped the necromancer’s severed cross section.
The blood that was leaking like a faucet stopped, and the complexion of the guy who was on the verge of death became peaceful.
Emergency treatment saved the necromancer’s life.
“I myself will show mercy and not kill you.”
“… … .”
“From next time, you’d better be careful about what you say and do when you meet people. “You might meet a psycho like me.”
Even though he came to his senses, the necromancer did not think to answer.
I just think about adding limbs when I get the chance.
“You don’t need this anymore, right?”
I’m so tired!
Even the remaining limbs were incinerated to prevent unnecessary thoughts.
As the opportunity passed, the necromancer’s complexion became pale.
Now, as a guy who can’t score points, he can only hope desperately for his team to win.
Well, if I survive this round, my body will be fine.
“Okay? “You didn’t kill him?”
When Ryumin turned around and spoke, Christine bowed her head.
“thank you.”
Then he glared at the necromancer with hostile eyes.
“I will now take you to where your companions were. When you go, tell your congregation. “Stop fighting immediately.”
“I? why?”
“Otherwise I will kill you.”
“joy… … .”
Although he snorted, the necromancer could not take Christine’s words lightly.
Because I didn’t have any limbs, I didn’t have the skills to block an attack from a child.
Moreover, judging from the look in Christine’s eyes, it didn’t seem like a joke.
He seems to have made up his mind.
“What do you want to do? “Do you want to die by my hands now, or do you want to go and stop the fight?”
“… … “Go stop it.”
After obtaining consent, Christine was about to lift the necromancer.
“for a moment.”
Ryumin pulled Christine towards him.
I felt a sense of presence as the presence detection was doubled.
I checked with my clairvoyance and saw that a group of 30 people was coming this way.
They were believers of the Church of Despair.
“Come behind me.”
“yes? What happened suddenly… … .”
Christine soon saw a group approaching from afar and quietly hid behind Ryumin.
“Master! Cult leader… … ah!”
The guys who approached were scared when they saw the necromancer with his limbs severed.
And everyone glared at Ryumin and Christine.
“Did you make our religious leader like this?”
“You bastards!”
The two guys immediately rushed at me with their swords drawn.
Ryu Min did not pay attention to the opponent who ran without hesitation.
Squeak-
I cut off the heads of two guys with a single scythe.
Then, the footsteps of the 28 people who were trying to follow flinched and stopped.
“Why don’t you come? Come and see. “If your wish is to die.”
“… … .”
They seemed to have finally realized that they were an opponent they could not handle, so they hesitated and retreated.
“You idiots! Stop it. Are you rushing in knowing who the enemy is? “That person is a black scythe.”
“Uh, black scythe?”
At the words of the religious leader, the believers looked at Ryumin once again with wide eyes.
True to his nickname, he was holding a scythe.
The atmosphere is also bloody, fitting for level 90.
The believers, who belatedly realized that what they had touched was a beehive, broke into a cold sweat.
“You come here and hug me.”
“yes.”
One of the believers picked up the necromancer with only his torso remaining.
“What brings you all here?”
“I’m here to tell you that the situation is over.”
“Is the situation over? “What does that mean?”
When Christine intervened, the necromancer answered instead.
“It means that all your comrades are dead.”
“iced coffee… … .”
Christine opened her mouth in shock.
About 100 followers were killed by a group of Despair Cultists?
“What about the damage on our side?”
“There are about 45 injured and 30 dead.”
Considering that you only dealt with 100 people, the damage was less than expected.
It was something to praise, but the necromancer was silent.
Black Scythe suddenly says he’s in a bad mood and doesn’t know when he’ll change his mind again.
‘If you use your tongue wrongly, you could get caught and die again.’
gulp-
The necromancer swallowed his saliva and spoke carefully while looking at Ryumin’s eyes.
“As you can see, the situation is over. There’s nothing more I can do. So now me… … .”
“Okay, get out of here now.”
When I turn my gaze, I see a saint who is in despair over losing her companion.
‘Although we could not kill the saint, we succeeded in disintegrating her power.’
Since the goal was achieved, this was a satisfactory achievement.
“… … let’s go.”
Following the necromancer’s instructions, the believers turned away without hesitation.
There was no fool who thoughtlessly asked if he should take revenge.
A cult leader with dozens of summoned animals has reached this point. Is revenge even worth it?
Everyone knew that even if everyone here rushed in, they would not be able to defeat the black scythe.
“… … .”
“… … .”
As the cult leader and believers left, silence fell between Ryumin and Christine.
Christine, who had no idea that all of her colleagues would die, was still unable to recover from the shock.
‘because of me… … ‘Everyone died because of me.’
Even though they are his followers, he has never treated them like subordinates.
Everyone was treated equally as colleagues.
As Douglas said, it was a relationship for mutual benefit, but it was clear that they had gone through difficult times together as colleagues.
‘however… … Just because of me… … .’
I wanted to shed tears, but they didn’t come out.
“hey. “What’s your nickname?”
“Chrissy… … “Yes.”
“Yes, Chrissy. I know roughly what the situation is. The sadness of losing the comrades who followed him must be great. “It feels like it’s all my fault.”
“It’s not the same, it’s my fault. “If it weren’t for me, this wouldn’t have happened.”
“If you think about it that way, there is no end. What if that cult leader wasn’t there in the first place? What if this survival game didn’t exist in the first place?”
Christine listened to Ryu Min’s calmly speaking voice.
“Are you saying it’s not my fault…?” … ?”
“okay. “Did you intentionally invite those guys to follow you?”
Christine shook her head.
“No. The people who approached first were the followers. “If you think about it, it’s not your fault.”
“but… … .”
“This is the path chosen by your followers. So don’t get too caught up in your emotions. “Don’t blame yourself and say it’s your fault.”
“… … .”
“The only thing as foolish as worrying about the future is putting yourself in a corner. therefore… … .”
Ryumin spoke after a brief pause.
“Don’t blame yourself and take the burden off your shoulders. “You have no obligation to carry people’s burdens alone.”
“… … .”
Christine is not a sentimental person by nature.
Even when I watched romantic movies or touching movies, I felt no emotion.
Not a single tear came out except when I yawned.
I said so.
“uh… … ?”
Drip-drip-
Without realizing it, thick water droplets fell under my eyes.
Christine was startled by that fact, but Ryumin pretended not to notice and was looking elsewhere.
‘me… … ‘Did you get comforted?’
Christine was the one who led many people on her own without anyone to rely on.
There was no place to vent that burden, but somehow the man in front of me realized that and consoled himself.
I was surprised, but at the same time relieved.
The fact that I met someone who understood how I felt.
“Did I interfere for no reason?”
“Oh, no. I’m truly sorry. For showing my dirty side… … .”
Christine wiped away her tears and smiled.
“I’m late to say hello. My name is Chrissy. “Are you Black Scythe?”
Ryumin did not deny it.
“okay. “Do you believe that I am the Black Scythe?”
“sure. “How could you not believe this ability?”
This is a man who eliminated 30 undead, each of which was the same size as the player, with a single spell.
Who would believe that such an incredible being is also at level 40?
There is only a level 90 black scythe.
‘But you said your job is a Shinigami and you use magic or something?’
I don’t know the Shinigami’s skills, but what I know for sure is that he was a lifesaver who saved me.
You can see him as the only mentor you can rely on in this world.
“Thank you so much for saving me, Black Scythe. How can I repay you for saving my life? … .”
“When did I save your life?”
“yes?”
“I just corrected the stupidity of a person who spoke in a rude manner.”
“ah. haha.”
Although she pretended not to, Christine could feel it.
Black Scythe saved him on purpose by making an excuse.
Even though he says that, he is a warm person on the inside.
And this person is it.
‘Are you sure. The black scythe… … He is the savior I must follow.’
It is a line of life that must be continued as prophesied.
“Hey, Black Scythe.”
“What’s going on?”
Christine, who lowered her head as if she was embarrassed by Ryumin’s gaze, gathered courage and spoke.
“Can I come with you for the rest of the time?”
“The reason is?”
“You saved my life. “I want to repay you in this way.”
“refuse.”
“yes… … yes?”
Christine was momentarily dazed by the sharp rejection.
‘I shouldn’t do this?’
I never thought it would be kicked at the speed of light.
