36. Agent of Heavenly Punishment
The first angel slayer.
It was a title that Ryumin obtained by killing Brielle, the angel in charge.
‘It’s a good title that doubles the stats against divine series.’
The agent of heavenly punishment is none other than the divine class.
This is why you think about catching them rather than just running away.
‘If I didn’t have this title, I wouldn’t have even dared to challenge.’
The Agent of Heavenly Punishment is a monster that can only be caught by five level 40 people.
For level 27 Ryumin, this is a difficult level to deal with alone.
‘But if you have a strategy and the stats to support it, there’s nothing you can’t catch.’
Ryumin has a Rune of Massacre that doubles his stats.
Here, the title of Angel Slayer is doubled.
Total 4 times.
Simply considering the amount of stats, it is similar to level 99, which is the maximum level.
However, this is based on max level with normal equipment.
‘Still, it would be a good idea to raise your stats at least a little.’
Ryu Min opened the combination window.
You can see one large slot and five small slots spread out around it.
The large compartment is where you put the main ingredients, and the remaining five compartments are where you put the secondary ingredients.
‘Combine magic stones to raise the stats even a little.’
Ryumin dragged an item from his inventory and moved it into the slot.
[Main ingredients]
-Skull Bone Necklace
[Supplementary ingredients]
-Minimum purple magic stone
-(doesn’t exist)
-(doesn’t exist)
-(doesn’t exist)
-(doesn’t exist)
There is space left for supplementary materials, but there is no need to fill it all.
When ready, I pressed the combination button.
[Combination successful!]
[The ‘All Stats +1’ option is added to the Skull Bone Necklace.]
The auxiliary materials disappeared and only the skull and bone necklace remained.
Ryumin immediately combined magic stones with other equipment.
‘One magic stone can be placed on each piece of equipment.’
There were two magic stones in the inventory.
One was a navy blue stone, and the other was an orange magic stone obtained by hunting in this round.
[Combination successful!]
[The ‘Damage received reduction +1%’ option is added to the expert hunter’s leather armor.]
Damage reduction was achieved by embedding the lowest grade indigo magic stone.
[Combination successful!]
[The ‘Strength +2’ option is added to the Reaper’s Scythe.]
The strength stat increased with the lowest grade orange magic gemstone.
‘It won’t be of much help since it’s the lowest grade magic gemstone, but… … .’
We combined them generously to increase the power even a little.
Because the combined magic stones could be separated if desired.
‘It’s not a consumable, so you can just attach and detach it whenever you need it.’
When all preparations have been completed by combining magic stones.
Damn it!
The sky split and a pillar of light shined down on the ground.
Hwaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
It was none other than an angel who appeared under the spotlight of heaven.
It was impossible to tell their gender because they were dressed like judges and their faces were covered with robes.
Flap-!
The wings, which were up to 6 meters long, showed that it was an angel.
‘The number and size of wings determine the power of an angel.’
The greater the number and the larger the size, the more you can gauge the level of the angel.
‘The wings are so large that ordinary angels can’t even compare them.’
Its size is enormous compared to a regular angel, which is only 2m in total length.
But the players, who had no way of knowing that fact, could only stare with glazed eyes.
“Is that the agent of heavenly punishment?”
“You just have to avoid that and survive?”
“Isn’t that too easy?”
Laughs came from everywhere.
Although the wings were magnificent, the agent of Heavenly Punishment was similar to an ordinary human.
Ryu Min sneered at such reactions from those around him.
‘Did you think some kind of giant would appear?’
You won’t know how strong the agent of heavenly punishment is until you experience it.
Flutter-!
When the agent of heavenly punishment waves his staff, the bell attached to the end makes a sound.
Clap-Clap!
The guy who was walking slowly, holding his cane like a crutch, suddenly hit the ground.
thud-!
At the same time, purple energy spreads around the staff.
[The Agent of Nemesis has cast Restriction Field.]
[Cannot go out of range until the caster cancels it.]
[The stats of players in the field drop by 50%.]
A translucent purple barrier was created in a radius of 100m.
The players trapped inside all panicked.
“W-what is this? Does it decrease my stats?”
“You can’t go outside?”
“Surely we’re trapped?”
When I touched the purple barrier, it was as hard as a wall.
The players trapped inside the huge dome became contemplative.
My plan to just run away went wrong from the start.
Ryumin, who was outside the wall, counted the players trapped inside.
‘Were 300 people caught?’
Of course, Ryumin was not trapped in the wall.
I knew it was cast in a 100m radius, so I was out of range early on.
‘Unfortunately, we won’t be able to save 300 people.’
If you are trapped in a restriction field, there is no way to escape.
It’s like a rat in a poison.
‘Plus, you’ll get a stat-lowering debuff, so there’s no chance of winning.’
I know this because I got caught the first time I dealt with him.
If you get caught in the field, your life is dead.
Flap-!
The agent of heavenly punishment spread his folded wings.
Along with that, countless arrows of light were created around the wings.
At first glance, the number was over 200.
‘It has begun.’
Ryumin looked away as if there was nothing to see.
Because it was obvious what would happen next.
Push shoo shoo shoo-
The arrow flew like light and pierced the player’s entire body.
Papa pa pa paak-!
“Whoops!”
“Oops!”
In an instant, 30 people in the front row became targets of arrows and died.
“Aaaah!”
“Oh, crazy! Avoid that?”
“It’s hard to keep up with your eyes!”
The panicked players retreated, but unfortunately there was no way to escape.
‘It’s close to impossible to avoid the arrows of light.’
This was the reason why Ryu Min did not want to be trapped in the field.
Because Field + Arrow of Light was a combo of death.
‘In other words, it’s not a big deal if you just avoid it.’
As long as you don’t get caught in the field, you won’t die.
Rather, you can attack the back of his head.
‘This is your chance now that he’s distracted.’
Ryumin accelerated his steps.
Meanwhile, a death party was taking place in the circular dome.
“Kwaaaaak!”
“Save me!”
“Mommy!”
Players died helplessly from countless arrows of light.
The agent of Heavenly Punishment continued to fire arrows and moved forward leisurely, like catching a poisoned rat.
Without knowing that Ryumin was watching behind his back.
‘As expected, they’re so focused on hunting humans that they don’t even pay attention to the back.’
Ryumin went around the barrier and moved behind him.
Even though I was blocked by the barrier and couldn’t get close… … .
‘The moment the barrier is lifted, we attack him.’
This is the only way to surprise him while avoiding his sight.
[The opponent you are facing is a divine type.]
[All stats are doubled due to the title effect of the first angel slayer.]
Ryu Min opened the status window when a message suddenly appeared.
-Strength: 80, Intelligence: 28
-Dexterity: 116, Luck: 96
The title effect was added to the massacre rune, increasing the number four times.
‘This should be enough to cause significant damage.’
You should inflict a critical hit on the first attack as much as possible.
This will make the subsequent attack process easier.
Isn’t there a saying that the first bread wins?
While waiting for the barrier to be lifted, I looked at the surrounding players.
‘You seem quite shocked.’
Everyone is speechless at the massacre taking place inside the walls.
There were also players trembling like aspen trees.
“Well, survive against a monster like that for 30 minutes?”
“I’m crazy.”
“I can never win. I have to run away quickly.”
The players who were hesitant started running like crazy.
But this is not something that can be solved by running away.
‘This guy has wings. ‘It’s only a matter of time before you get caught.’
No matter how far you run, you can easily catch up with just a few flaps of your wings.
Then, the field will be deployed again and the humans trapped inside will be slaughtered with ease.
‘Rather than running away in droves like that, it’s better for survival to scatter in all directions.’
The best option is to run behind the Agent of Heavenly Punishment.
‘This guy never looks back.’
The reason was simple.
This is because they look down on humans.
‘As long as we don’t get attacked first.’
Eventually, the barrier was lifted, like a curtain falling.
This is because all 300 players inside were killed.
The moment when the agent of heavenly punishment takes steps to find new prey.
‘Now is the time.’
Ryumin ran at full speed.
Because of the barrier, the distance that was more than 100 meters quickly narrows.
70m… … .
50m… … .
30m… … .
He felt like he was being betrayed and looked back, but the head of the agent of heavenly punishment was facing forward.
‘You don’t have to worry about looking back.’
It was because he had no ears.
That’s its first weakness.
‘5m distance from him… … !’
When he reached a fairly close distance, Ryumin jumped high.
Taaat!
The seal of death has already been placed.
‘You have to bet everything on the first bread.’
In order to inflict as much damage as possible, I strengthened my hand holding the scythe.
For a moment, a shadow appeared over his head, and only then did he raise his head.
‘It’s already too late.’
Ryumin’s scythe, which was swung like a crescent moon, was quicker to hit the eyeball.
Phew!
[Uuuuuuu!]
‘Did it work?’
When Ryumin spun around in the air and landed, the Agent of Heavenly Punishment was holding his eyes.
[Hehehe! Ugh!]
Golden blood flows between the fingers as they scream and struggle.
I didn’t know what he was saying, but it was clear that he was suffering.
‘It worked well. It hit right in the eyeball.’
It is difficult to stab someone in the face, especially the eyes, with a large scythe.
This level is impossible without an understanding of the weapon and some experience.
But Ryumin did it.
‘It’s not over yet.’
Even though a sickle was stuck in his eye, the agent of heavenly punishment did not die.
‘This guy has very high physical strength.’
Moreover, the other eye is healthy.
It is true that he was mortally wounded, but he is not the type of person who will die from a single attack.
It was easy to tell because the health bar was visible due to the seal of death.
‘60% remaining health. ‘I cut 40% off with one attack, so it’s not bad.’
With that in mind, Ryumin widened the distance.
The agent of heavenly punishment opens his remaining eye, looking for Ryumin.
But I’ve been out of his sight for a long time.
When it was out of sight, I cast the purple barrier again.
[The Agent of Nemesis has cast Restriction Field.]
The intention was to trap him in a noose.
‘I knew that would happen, so I quickly escaped.’
Ryumin was already out of the 100m radius.
An agent of Heavenly Punishment who suddenly becomes one-eyed and searches for prey in the field.
However, when it realized that there was no prey caught, it immediately released the field.
Then, as if he had been waiting, Ryu Min kicked the ground.
Taaa-!
I ran to the guy’s blind spot, narrowed the distance, and then leapt again.
‘I took one.’
Phew!
[Wow!]
‘I’ll have to take the other one too.’
The scythe that drew a half moon hit the agent’s single eye.
[Whoa! Big!]
The guy screamed in a mixture of pain and anger and immediately casted the field.
[The stats of players in the field drop by 50%.]
As his stats dropped, Ryumin’s movements slowed down, but it didn’t matter.
‘A guy without both eyes is just a great punching bag.’
Because I couldn’t be afraid of a guy who couldn’t see.
Flap-!
The agent of heavenly punishment spread its large wings.
Since they can’t see the opponent, they plan to kill them by shooting arrows of light in all directions.
at that time.
‘Now is the time.’
Ryumin cast Night of Death.
Duung-!
The countless arrows of light that had risen went out like candles.
The light had been swallowed up by darkness.
‘This guy’s second weakness.’
Ryumin picked up the scythe.
‘It’s rat poison for the Shinigami class.’
Light cannot overcome darkness.
The system in this world is set up that way.
The agent of Heavenly Punishment was embarrassed and waved his staff.
However, it is highly unlikely that he will be able to hit Ryu Min, who has already moved behind his back.
‘Let’s get this over with now.’
I decided to cut off the wing ridges first to prevent it from escaping.
Suddenly! Seogeo-eok-!
The wings fall off only after a few pickaxe strikes.
[Heheuhuhuh!]
He screamed in pain, but he still had the other wing left.
The scythe was swung with a 50% increased attack speed.
Knock-knock-knock!
Both wings fell off.
Now he has no means of escape.
‘Stamina remaining is 10%.’
A situation where only the ending remains.
However, rather than decapitating the guy, Ryu Min widened the distance.
The body of the agent of heavenly punishment was glowing gold.
[Conditions met, Agent of Heavenly Punishment’s passive ‘Splendid Last Radiance’ is activated.]
[The Agent of Heavenly Punishment becomes invincible.]
A phase that appears when health falls below 10%.
‘If I had cut off the head first, it would have run away without being able to kill it.’
This was the reason the wings were removed in the first place.
‘I’ll watch your final struggle.’
[Kiheuuuuuh!]
The agent of heavenly punishment waved his staff like a madman.
Not only the means of attack but also the means of escape were blocked.
Ryumin leisurely watched the scene from afar.
Boom-boo-boo!
[Kiheuuuuuh!]
It’s been 1 minute since I watched this crazy flash.
[Invincibility is canceled.]
The light that was emitting disappeared.
At the same time.
‘It’s time to die.’
Ryumin’s scythe bounced and danced.
It didn’t take long for the agent of heaven’s punishment to fall off his head.
[You killed the agent of heavenly punishment.]
