Episode 237
237. 10th wave
In the past, in order to control Plseva, Ryu Min had to gather information from executives.
Nickname, habits, speech style, behavior, face, disposition, occupation, runes, etc.
I gathered all the information and used whatever was available.
The reason I’m using Lost Yak’s identity is because of the information I gained at that time.
For Ryumin, it was not that difficult to remember the nicknames of Plsheva executives.
‘A small eating show. He was definitely one of the eight Plsheva executives.’
He was an executive who could not be seen from a certain episode because he was expelled, but he was clearly the one who led the Plseba in the beginning.
‘I can’t believe a guy like that survived until this round.’
I wondered if he had some skills, but I guess he was good.
The important thing was that avoiding one’s eyes was suspicious.
‘I’ll have to check it out.’
Ryu Min got closer and read his inner thoughts.
Even though I was turned around, I was able to delve deep into my thoughts just by looking at my head.
‘That bastard…’ … .’
Ryumin showed a rare surprised expression.
‘You’re the one who received orders from the Archangel, right?’
I had no idea that the Archangel would not appear in person and take advantage of such an insignificant player.
But what was really surprising was the method.
‘If you move a player to heaven, you can disqualify them… … .’
This is the first time Ryu Min has learned that disqualification is possible.
I’ve never been to heaven, and this episode was the first time I’ve ever been threatened with assassination by archangels.
‘If I get warped to heaven, there will be no way for me to return.’
If you spend time in heaven without being able to do this or that, you will lose your qualifications.
‘It’s disqualification… … .’
What does it mean to be disqualified as a player?
Does this mean the system loses all its power? Or does it simply mean that they are excluded from the survival game?
‘Probably the former.’
Judging by the fact that he said he could return to being a normal person, this would mean that he would lose all his powers as a player.
‘It’s definitely a threatening method. ‘I understand why the archangels didn’t come forward directly.’
Ryumin glared at the small mukbang with wary eyes.
‘If you hold the book the archangel gave you and memorize the starter word, you can force it to move, right?’
This was the reason why he glanced at himself.
He was looking for an opportunity to receive the Archangel’s instructions and send him to heaven.
‘People would be confused by the 10th wave, so they planned to take advantage of that gap.’
I don’t want to know, and I don’t need to know, what ill feelings the former Plseba executive had towards him.
‘Anyway, the important thing is that you’re targeting me.’
Now that you know how, you can deal with it.
‘It would be easy to kill him, but the problem is that he is a party member.’
There is no way to kill a party member.
I had no choice but to wait for the round to end, but I ended up getting hurt before that.
‘You can’t do that.’
Ryu Min, who thought of a method, checked the remaining time.
[Time remaining until next wave: 00:17:41]
I think I can deal with it before the wave starts.
“Yamti.”
“Oh, Black Scythe? “Is there something you want me to do?”
“There is someone you must rule over.”
“Who?”
Ryumin pointed to a place with his eyes.
“See it over there? “The nickname is Small Mukbang.”
“A small eating show… … ?”
Yamti’s eyes widened like a rabbit.
“That worthless guy is still alive?”
“You know this face, right?”
“yes. “Because he was a Plseva official like me.”
“Dominate him. “There is no room, so release Geoffrey from control.”
“Uh, well, I don’t think that will work.”
“why?”
Yamti, who was embarrassed, sighed and said.
“I’ve dominated before. Trying to get information from a small mukbang… … .”
An object that has been controlled once and then released cannot be controlled again.
This means that the opportunity has already been lost.
Yamti lowered his head as if he had no shame.
“… … sorry.”
“no. “It was before you met me, whatever.”
If control was not possible, another method was needed.
At that moment, someone came to Ryu Min’s mind.
“I have four slaves whom I previously ruled.”
“Messiah members?”
“okay. Give them instructions right now. What do you say… … .”
After hearing the explanation, Yamti nodded.
“Can we just suppress it like you said?”
“okay. Instead, you have to sneak up on him without him noticing. “He might run away.”
Why are we suppressing small eating shows?
I was curious about the reason, but Yamti is a slave.
It does whatever the owner tells it to do.
“All right. “I’ll do it right away.”
* * *
‘Wow… … ‘I almost lost my liver.’
The small mukbang that encountered the black scythe gave me a cold feeling in my stomach.
I’ve only seen the eyes, but the reason I’m so nervous is probably because I’m about to commit suicide.
‘Well, you probably didn’t notice, right?’
I glanced over and saw that the black scythe was looking somewhere else.
Fortunately, it looks like they weren’t caught.
‘Whew, I almost ruined it before I even got to work.’
The 10th wave begins in just 10 minutes.
As the archangel predicted, if the people and the black scythe were confused, he planned to move then.
‘Whoa, there’s nothing to be afraid of. It’s simple. He hides among people, and when he sees an opportunity, he approaches closer, holds a book, and memorizes the starting phrase. Then that’s it. See, it’s simple, right?’
If you do that, you can send the ugly black scythe far away.
To heaven, from which I can never return.
‘good. Get ready to move with about 3 minutes left… … .’
It was then.
Why did four men cling to each other like leeches?
“What are you guys! “Let go of this!”
As I held each limb and stretched it out, I couldn’t move.
I checked the nickname to see if it was a familiar face.
‘Yang Qiwen, Jang Jangyu, Dark Soul, Spaniard… … ? ‘They’re all guys you’ve never met before, right?’
When I first met him, I was embarrassed when people I had no connection with grabbed my arms and legs and stretched them out.
“Let go of this! “You bastards!”
“… … .”
He doesn’t say anything, and looking at his expression, he is completely indifferent, like a machine executing orders.
‘I’m going to spin, f*ck! In the yard where the big coup is about to take place, some crazy people come and… … .’
Since it was a party, I couldn’t do any damage, so I was going crazy and jumping around.
“Hey. hey. Why are you doing this? yes? Do you know me? You don’t know. Can you at least tell me why it’s suddenly like this? yes?”
As expected, no answer came back.
In the end, I had no choice but to use my strength to shake it off, but with four people holding my limbs, my body felt as heavy as wet cotton.
“what? what?”
“Are the four of you clinging to one person?”
“What are you doing so manly?”
“Homosexuality is not something to be embarrassed about in this day and age… … .”
“Do you want to come to this world and do that?”
“In a way, he’s amazing, that guy.”
The mukbang, who heard voices whispering around him, shouted as if it was unfair.
“It’s a misunderstanding! I’m not that kind of person! “These bastards don’t even know me!”
“Not really. “It’s so nice and clingy to me.”
“Isn’t it true? Let go! Let go! “You leech bastards!”
I tried hard, but there was no way I could handle the strength of four people on my own.
When I couldn’t find an answer, I finally asked people around me for help.
“help! Someone I don’t know is holding me like this! Please take it off!”
“A stranger?”
“Really?”
Some people were swayed by the earnest cry, but that was only for a moment.
Messiah members who had not spoken up until now added a word one by one.
“I will do better in the future.”
“We got along well, right? huh?”
“Mukbang, please don’t leave me behind.”
“I love you, bro.”
Those who doubted whether Dark Soul’s last words were the final blow twisted their lips and turned away.
“That’s right.”
“I was a fool for doubting it for a moment.”
Mukbang shouted urgently as he watched the people leaving.
“Hey, are you there? It’s someone I don’t know. “You want me to help you!?”
“I have no intention of meddling in other people’s love affairs, so I’ll stop… … .”
“Have a good love.”
People who thought it was just a casual affair stayed away from mukbang.
In the end, the only people in a 10m radius were the four people who clung to each other like leeches.
* * *
Ryumin raised his eyebrows as he watched the small mukbang where he was in a situation where he couldn’t do anything because of the Messiah members.
‘Even if you can’t kill it, you can make it immobile.’
The command given to the Messiah members was simple.
Like a leech, grab each limb of a small meal.
Then, when people around you show signs of helping, recite one line at a time like someone who hasn’t forgotten their ex-lover.
The effect was excellent.
Instead of approaching me, all I could do was stare at him.
‘With this, the threat has been blocked.’
How dare one trash player plot a scheme behind his back.
‘I can’t do anything right now because it’s a party, but I’ll definitely pay you back when this round is over.’
Ryu Min, who went through this, prepared for the 10th wave.
It starts soon.
The wave becomes confusing.
‘5, 4, 3, 2, 1… … .’
When the remaining time was reduced to 0, the last wave was revealed.
[10th wave]
[4,608 players vs. 1 predator]
[There is no time limit for this round.]
[Kill the predator to clear the round!]
Players who saw the revealed mission blinked and couldn’t believe their eyes.
“One is the opponent?”
“Predator? “Is it boss level?”
I’ve killed thousands or even hundreds of High Orcs so far, but this was the first time I’ve encountered one as an opponent.
“are you okay. “Can’t 5,000 people join forces to catch it?”
“So, that’s right. “We also have a black scythe.”
However, it was immediately after seeing the following message that the players became confused.
[Special rules are applied to adjust balance.]
[The special rules of the 10th wave will not be disclosed.]
“Private?”
The opponent was revealed, but the rules were kept private.
Although they were embarrassed, they soon regained their confidence.
I thought that no matter what the rules were, there would be no problem if Black Scythe came forward.
Ryu Min, the person involved, was also confident.
Until you hit it yourself.
‘Was it the 44th episode? ‘At that time, I ran into a predator without knowing what to do and died.’
At that time, I was full of confidence due to my rapid growth and skills.
It’s a special rule, and there was a time when someone attacked me without even having time to check and died.
‘When I think about it now, I was so foolish. At the very least, I should have figured out the nature of the rules by watching other people attack me… … Well, I wonder if the results would have been different.’
The undisclosed special rule was as follows.
<Special rule: 90% of the damage the predator receives is reflected.>
Damage reflection.
Be it physical, magical, or any other damage.
If you attack a predator, it will return to the caster.
A whopping 90% of the damage he inflicted.
‘In the end, you have to endure 90% of the damage that comes back and deal with the predators with only 10% of the damage.’
But it’s easier said than done.
Unless you’re a tank, who can withstand your own damage?
In particular, for dealers who specialized in attack power, predatory insects were no different from counters.
‘It clung to me like a moth to fire and died from its own damage. Thousands of players.’
There was no escaping the rule that damage was reflected regardless of whether it was a close or long-distance attack.
Therefore, even if numerous players clung to it, it was unable to defeat the predator, and later it was busy running away after assessing the situation.
Because I knew that if I attacked for no reason, I would die.
‘But you die even if you don’t attack.’
Although it was stated in the message, there is no time limit for the 10th wave.
This is not something that can be solved by running away.
There is no room to escape as it is blocked by a translucent curtain.
“Gurgling, gurgling!”
A huge predator appeared ahead.
A guy with a face like a toad and a hard skin like an insect, the size of a house, waddles over.
Although it looked very funny.
‘I’m not someone you should take lightly. Even though it looks like that, a predator’s tongue is as fast as lightning.’
There is no way to avoid this guy who catches and eats his opponent with his long, long tongue.
All I can do is kill him.
‘In the past, thousands of people sacrificed themselves like moths to fire before finally catching them. But now?’
People don’t have to make sacrifices.
Because if I step forward, it will be enough.
“That little toad, why is it so big?”
“There’s nothing to be afraid of! If we put them all together… … .”
“Everyone, step back.”
Ryumin stepped forward, stopping the big players who were trying to attack the predator.
“I’ll catch him.”
There is 90% reflection damage, but there is no problem.
Because I have a cheat that makes me invincible.
