Episode 204
204. Twelve round results tally
Patter-
Rubble fell from the wall of the half-ruined cave.
Lying beneath it was Sariel, with her waist cut off.
‘It looks like a corpse, but it’s not dead yet.’
Because the seal of death has been placed on it, you can see its physical strength.
Even so, it was a bit difficult.
‘I never thought that Moonlight Island could do something like this in one shot?’
I already figured out the level after exchanging attacks and defense with Sariel a few times.
‘It’s true that he’s stronger than Remiel in terms of strength and agility, but even so, he’s a dog.’
6th place couldn’t be considered that great.
Of course, the bizarre crying sound shown at the end was unexpected.
‘When I read your thoughts, it seemed like an ability called ‘Soul Cry’… … ‘If it had been anyone else, he would have been pinned down.’
Ryumin has a resistance to status abnormalities of 90.2%.
There’s no way I could fall for such a trivial trick.
Even so, I had recently purchased two rings with 40% resistance, so there was no chance of that happening.
‘We focused on increasing resistance for times like this.’
Thinking that I had done well to increase my resistance, I approached Sariel.
He’s already a corpse, but his ears are open.
“They say he’s the Archangel of Death, and he really looks like he’s going to die.”
[Ugh… … .]
“A guy like you is sixth in line. “I thought I got to this position by using that loud ability, but I’m disappointed.”
Even as they are dying, Sariel is glaring at them with a venomous gaze.
[main… … Kill it.]
“Before that, I want to ask you something.”
[my… … Do you think I will say it?]
“Still, I’ll ask. Are you archangels the organizers of the survival game that kidnaps humans? Or is it something that the system enforces itself?”
[…] … .]
“Who created the system?”
[…] … .]
“Why are you doing this? “What is your purpose?”
[…] … .]
Sariel pursed her lips in defiance, but there was no need to speak.
Because it was a question to read thoughts.
-Stupid human bastard. Would I, a 6th-ranked person, know such advanced information? I don’t know if it’s Raguel, who is in 5th place.
Ryumin grinned.
‘Raguel? ‘If it’s that guy, he knows, right?’
I read the thoughts some more to see if there was any helpful information.
However, since I already know this, it doesn’t really help me.
At that time, irregular breathing sounds were caught on Ryu Min’s 60m radar network.
When I turned my head, I saw the necromancer looking at me with excitement.
‘Why are you staring this way?’
Ryumin, seeing the lustful look in his eyes, came closer to read his thoughts.
As soon as we got within the 30m range, John Delgado’s thoughts were conveyed.
-If the black scythe kills that angel, I should make him one of my servants when I get the chance. I don’t know if it’s possible.
Ryumin, who only then understood the guy’s intentions, expressed a small amount of admiration.
‘So, there was a necromancer in the party?’
A necromancer was someone who collected souls and turned them into undead spirits, or raised their bodies and made them fight like zombies.
‘Is it really possible for angels to collect souls? ‘I’m curious?’
Since the body has already been cut in half, the plan is probably to turn it into an undead spirit.
‘good. Let’s see what happens.’
Ryumin smiled and approached Sariel again.
I keep swearing under my breath as if my momentum hasn’t died yet.
-It would be quicker to kill you than to hear my answer, you stupid human.
“I was planning on doing that anyway.”
[what?]
Deep!
The head and upper body were separated by cutting with a sickle like a pickaxe.
It was instant death.
[Seven archangels ‘Sariel’ have been defeated!]
[Stat points+3,299]
[Gold+32,990,100]
[‘Condensed Ether’ was given as a reward for killing Archangel Sariel.]
[‘Rune of Darkness’ was given as a reward for killing Archangel Sariel.]
[The acquired runes are automatically imprinted on the player’s body!]
[The reputation of the devil camp has increased slightly.]
<Soul Binding Quest>
└Defeat the 7 Archangels
└Number of Archangels currently defeated (2/7)
└When successful ▶ ????
Killing an angel with the devil’s blessing on brings a huge reward.
‘You’ve come in more than when you were Remiel.’
However, he was easier to deal with than Remiel.
It seems that it feels that way after killing Remiel and becoming significantly stronger.
‘Runes that I’ve never seen before and god-level materials have also arrived.’
Now that the condensed ether has arrived, it is confirmed that we will visit the dwarf in round 13.
Because we need the help of dwarves to obtain other god-grade materials.
Before checking the newly received rune information, Ryumin quietly moved his position.
He stayed away so that John Delgado could step forward.
‘Shall we take a look at what kind of rune it is?’
[Rune of Darkness]
-Effect: You can use darkness freely to see three effects. However, it cannot be used in a place with light.
└ Emergency ▶ Wings of darkness form behind the back.
└ Barrier ▶ Build a wall of darkness. Projectiles can be blocked or captured and then bounced away.
└ Bisan ▶ Can attack by spreading darkness like a sword. Inflicts mixed damage, half physical and half magical.
‘Oh, it’s a pretty good rune, right?’
When I looked at the runes I got from Sariel, they were quite useful.
‘It can fly and it can be used as a shield. It can be thrown like a dagger and used for attack.’
I can literally manipulate darkness at will.
The problem is that it can only be used in dark places… … .
‘Because I have the Night of Death skill.’
As long as you can create artificial darkness, you don’t have to worry about not being able to use the dark runes.
Ryumin distributed stat points this time.
While all 3,299 stats were taken, the Four Gods Transformation was released.
-Strength: 15,368, Intelligence: 16,088
-Dexterity: 16,160, Luck: 16,960
Perhaps because of Minjoo-ri’s buff, the effect was enormous.
‘It was higher than this before. Even though it looks like that, Sariel was a divine archangel.’
As long as there is a title that doubles the stats against divine types, angels will not be a match for Ryumin.
‘Hmm, is it moving now?’
After completing the stat distribution, John Delgado began to move in earnest.
The guy who was walking slowly while keeping an eye on himself soon reached the place where Sariel was.
And then he urgently memorized the starting words to the corpse.
“Wake up!”
Perhaps it was a starter word used as a servant, but a reaction arose immediately from the corpse.
Wooooow-
As a purple light appeared, Sariel’s soul was seen coming out of the corpse.
Sariel’s spirit cut the chains tied to the corpse with an emotionless expression, approached Jon, and knelt down.
He didn’t say anything, but I could tell at a glance.
Sariel’s soul was successfully subordinated to the necromancer.
“Seo, it is a success. “It’s a success!”
John Delgado couldn’t hide his joy.
I didn’t even know that Ryumin was close by.
“What do you mean you succeeded?”
“Sigh!”
John was shocked and ended up revealing the secret weapon he had been trying to hide.
“Lord, kill me! “Kill that guy!”
He pointed at the black scythe and gave a command to Sariel, who had become an undead spirit, but of course there was no way he would listen.
Because Ryumin was an ally who could not be attacked.
“I guess you forgot that the party hasn’t started yet.”
“ah… … .”
Ryumin sneered at John, who was embarrassed.
“Do you want to kill me that much? Even if you make angels your servants? But is that possible? “He died without even being able to write to me?”
“… … .”
Of course it’s impossible.
However, John was in a situation where he had to borrow at least the power of an angel.
It was already a difficult situation because of the penalty.
“Well, you can do whatever you want, whether you want angels as part of your household or not. I do whatever I want… … .”
Ryumin approached closer as if threatening.
“It’s better to give up any thoughts of climbing on me early. “If you want to save your life.”
“… … .”
“Think carefully and judge. “There will be no mercy next time.”
Ryumin turned away as if he was not interested, but in fact, he was thinking of an interesting idea.
‘If I kill a summoned animal that is an angel, will it be counted as killing an angel? ‘Why not?’
If so, you can easily build up a stack of Demonic Blessing using a necromancer.
I wanted to kill Sariel right away to see if it would work or not, but now the summoned beast is recognized as an ally.
If you want to test it, it’s best to do it when the round is over and the party is released.
‘I’ll keep you alive until then.’
John was standing there with a blank look on his face, not knowing that his life was saved thanks to having an angel as his servant.
* * *
[Has everyone gathered?]
Before we knew it, many people had returned to the colorless space where we started.
Ryumin’s team was also moved here not long after capturing the angel.
[I’ll check how many teams survived. Oh my, this.]
The angel let out an involuntary sigh.
[There were 7,880 teams at the start, but now there are only 2,389 teams left.]
They may have been wiped out because the team had no tanks, wizards, or supports, but most of them would have died because of the final ordeal.
Because the fifth trial was one that could never be overcome without a summoner.
[Originally, if more than half survived, we would line them up in the order of how quickly they passed the ordeal and destroy the rest, but we ended up falling short.]
The achievement team TO is 3,940.
2,389 teams passed and 1,551 positions fell short.
Since this was the first time that the score had fallen short, all the players opened their eyes in surprise.
[Since we fell short, we will assume that all 2,389 teams survived. The number of survivors is 9,994, slightly less than 10,000.]
Even though the survivors didn’t exactly fall into multiples of 5, the players soon understood.
There are not many teams where all five people survive.
It was natural because during the ordeal, people died from monsters or were killed by votes.
[Now we will calculate the individual rankings, and you will be able to see the ranking calculation criteria by looking at the results. Then shall we see right away?]
When the angel signaled with his wings, a results window appeared.
★ 12 round results tally ★
[Integrated Area CA-EA001]
└1st place. Kill 200 Black Scythes (Lv91 Reaper)
└2nd place. Defeat 100 Heavenly Horses (Lv60 Dark Knight)
└3rd place. Defeat 100 Nogay (Lv60 Warlock)
[The standard for calculating individual rankings was the number of monsters killed!]
“what? “The number of monsters killed is the standard?”
“By monsters, do you mean the golems from the second and third trials?”
“So it was a round where it was impossible for a supporter to come in first place?”
“iced coffee! “I should have just killed 10 more golems.”
Players lamented the belatedly revealed ranking criteria.
[For reference, if the number of kills was the same, preference was given to the person who was killed first. Then shall we take some time to compensate?]
After a while, a familiar message appeared before Ryumin’s eyes.
