87. Moonlight Island
I’m going to take on the boss by myself.
What kind of talk is this about washing away ghosts?
‘It’s not like your team is going to catch it, you’re saying you’re going to catch it by yourself?’
No matter how high the level of the Black Scythe is, the opponent is a boss.
It’s also a boss that only 20 people can fight to beat.
‘If the black scythe really catches the boss… … ?’
It is said that the skill level is equivalent to that of 20 players.
They were proud of their abilities, but their pride was not tolerated.
“Ha, now I see you’re really pretentious, Black Scythe.”
“Bluff?”
Ryumin’s eyes turned cold.
“You underestimate me so much. Don’t you think I can catch what you can too?”
“B-but we have a lot of people, right?”
“Even if there are several flies, they are all still flies in the end.”
“Huh? That’s harsh….”
Ryumin ignored it and walked forward.
The team members were also surprised, as if they had never heard that he would catch the boss alone.
“Black Scythe?”
“Just wait. I’ll finish it soon.”
As I walked with the Death Scythe, people opened a path like the Red Sea.
The unique atmosphere was unusual.
“Stay further away. Anyone who gets in the way will die.”
“Ah, four!”
Ryumin, who was watching the players falling from a distance, looked around.
Seeing that there were pillars of light everywhere, it seemed like they had caught a nearby Minotaur.
‘Hmm, including the team inside the pillar, are there 50 people watching?’
If possible, it would be better to hide special moves… … .
‘Perhaps this is also an opportunity to clearly appeal to one’s strength.’
Most people don’t realize how strong the black scythe is.
I just thought that since the level was so overwhelmingly high, it would be that strong.
‘If you watch my battles, you’ll feel that I’m actually strong, but it won’t feel that real.’
But what if they showed themselves quickly dispatching the Minotaur they encountered in person?
No fly will be able to ignore the black scythe.
‘I’ll catch you as quickly as possible.’
When Ryumin came forward, most people looked dumbfounded.
“Are you really going to catch it by yourself?”
“Oh, Black Scythe alone?”
“I was bored right now, but this will be fun.”
Some people thought it would be fun and watched with their arms crossed inside the pillar.
A situation that attracted the attention of the left and right.
Ryumin stopped at a certain distance and faced the Minotaur.
The huge bull monster senses popularity and turns around.
“Krrrrr.”
He looked down with red eyes that made his cheeks tingle, but Ryumin’s spirit did not die in the slightest.
Just hold the scythe with both hands and hold it out behind your back.
“What are you doing?”
“What skill do you think you’re going to use?”
“You’re using a skill with that attitude?”
Despite the murmurs around him, Ryumin glared at the Minotaur without distraction.
‘The system measures the record the moment the distance is narrowed to the point where the attack can reach.’
In other words, for now, we just regard it as a preparatory movement and do not measure the time.
‘The moment he enters the range, I aim for the neck.’
Ryumin’s eyes measured the distance to the enemy.
The angle was adjusted by slightly moving the scythe.
Draw a simple simulation in your head.
‘You have to aim for the moment when he panics.’
“Kwaaaah!”
The Minotaur expressed his anger at the prey that dared not avoid it even after seeing it.
Thump thump thump-!
Calculate the strides of the running Minotaur and measure the time it takes to reach the intersection.
‘3 seconds.’
Thump-thump-
‘2 seconds.’
Thump-thump-
Kiiiiing-
Moonlight energy gathered into Ryumin’s scythe.
‘1 second.’
Thump-thump-
The moment the bull entered the intersection.
‘Night of the Dead.’
Duung-!
A curtain of darkness descended.
As the front became dark, the Minotaur was momentarily taken aback.
‘It is now. ‘Moonlight Island.’
Ryumin’s scythe drew a half moon.
A ray of light appeared in the extreme darkness and brightly illuminated the Minotaur’s face.
Suddenly!
With the clean sound of something being cut.
thud-!
I heard something falling.
I knew what was going on the moment the curtain lifted.
“omg!”
“Hey, look at that!”
“It’s the head of the Minotaur, right?”
The thick neck, which was difficult to cut even with 20 swords, was cut off with a single knife.
The players looked at the boss and Ryumin alternately with mesmerized expressions.
“Killed him with one blow…?”
“Nonsense…….”
‘That doesn’t make sense. ‘What are my stats now?’
Right now, his strength is 403 and his intelligence is 627.
Stats calculated by multiplying Minjuri’s buff, Rune of Massacre, and Rune of Balance.
‘This is enough to kill him with one hit.’
Moreover, by activating Night of Death at a critical moment, the damage to Moonlight Island was amplified by 1.5 times.
‘High Orc was also cut by 1 second, but this guy is about it.’
Minotaur is the 6th round boss, but he is weaker than the horse boss and High Orc.
‘The difficulty of the last round’s sub-quest was crazy.’
The reward of the Rune of Balance is that good.
[The Minotaur has been defeated!]
[A 3x experience buff is being applied.]
[Experience points increase by 1.5 times due to the title effect.]
[Experience +11.68%]
[Gold+1,200]
[‘Bull Skin’ has been acquired.]
[‘Design: Minotaur’s Armor’ has been acquired.]
Since it was a party, the same message would also be posted to our allies.
That’s why the experience points and gold seem to be low.
‘The item is mine, though.’
I grinned as I looked at the list of items.
Because this is the best item among the many items dropped by the Minotaur.
[Bull leather]
-Category: Belongings
-Description: High quality cowhide leather. It’s tough so it’s good for making armor.
It was a material used to make the Minotaur’s armor.
There are already designs for making armor.
[Design: Minotaur’s Armor]
– Category: Consumables
-Description: An item with six combination formulas for making the Minotaur’s armor, a unique item. It is a good idea to prepare notes before use.
If you open the design, you will see bull leather listed among the materials.
I know it without even looking.
‘Because I already opened it.’
Designs are basically consumable items.
‘If you use it, you will be able to know the combination formula of the item… … .’
Since it disappears over time, it is best to memorize it in your head or write it down somewhere.
‘There’s no need for me. ‘Because it’s all in your head.’
However, I have no intention of making Minotaur armor.
‘It’s a good item, but it’s only for tanks.’
It was an item I didn’t need because I had armor in mind, but I decided to keep it for now.
If it was a design that could make something unique, it could be sold at a high price.
‘In general, I only got good items.’
Satisfied, I returned to the party members and everyone was dumbfounded.
“Is everyone okay?”
“Yes? Ah… yes.”
They look like they didn’t know they were going to kill him with one hit.
But among them all, Heo Tae-seok’s expression was the most spectacular.
‘This bastard…’ … ‘What’s with your expression?’
The face staring at you dreamily is a face in love.
I guess I’m out of my mind.
‘It’s not like I don’t understand since he’s going to be a follower… … ‘Maybe I should keep some distance?’
I didn’t want to be misunderstood.
Meanwhile, Ahn Sang-cheol was secretly admiring Ryu Min.
‘What just happened? It was so fast I couldn’t even see it.’
There seemed to be a flash of light in the darkness, and the Minotaur’s head fell off.
‘Is it a skill? Or maybe… … ‘Pyeongtaek?’
Anyway, what is certain is that I killed the boss in one go.
‘To kill the boss in one shot… … .’
Even thinking about it again, it was clear that it made no sense.
Afterwards, a pillar of light came down and surrounded all party members.
Since you defeated the boss, you passed the round.
There was no way to know the rankings.
Ryumin looked at the remaining boss.
‘Now there are only 9 tickets left. ‘We don’t have much time left, so we should hurry up, right?’
There is no time to sit idle.
The party belatedly realized that fact and rushed at the Minotaurs everywhere.
The game is over.
[You caught all 101 bosses?]
When the time limit was over and all bosses were dealt with, an angel appeared.
[The rest of the team that couldn’t catch the boss will be destroyed without even looking at it.]
“Oh, no!”
“Oh, angel, just a moment…!”
Passsss-
Priscilla spoke calmly, leaving behind the flying powder.
[Then shall we check the rankings?]
★ 6th round results tally ★
[All areas]
└1st place. Black Scythe and 4 others 00:00:01
└2nd place. Cheonma and 4 others 00:03:21
└3rd place. Shit idiots and 4 others 00:04:09
[Applicable area C-ESKS007]

└3rd place. Babboroji and 4 others 00:05:58
[Please note that the nicknames that appear in the results window belong to humans with high contributions.]
Players who saw the rankings were surprised.
“What? Why isn’t our team in first place? We definitely got it first?”
“The Black Scythe team is in first place? The team that caught it so late?”
Priscilla, who heard the muttering, sneered.
[Who said this? Are you ranking them in the order they are caught first? As you can see, the ranking is measured by the time it takes to kill the boss.]
“hour?”
“Ah… So our team is in last place…”
[The longest time it took was 11 minutes and 30 seconds. I don’t know why they slaughter one cow for more than 11 minutes. Anyway, they are inferior humans. Tsk.]
Priscilla, who was laughing, checked the records once again.
[On the other hand, the shortest time is 1 minute. It’s a team that Black Scythe belongs to, but its performance is pretty decent… … .]
“Angel! The time is wrong!?”
[What do you mean?]
“Time, time!”
“Isn’t it one minute?”
Priscilla blinked and looked again as if she felt something was strange.
[Not 1 minute… … 1 second?]
The time it took for the black scythe to deal with the boss was 1 second.
Priscilla, who found out about that fact later, made a blank expression.
[1 second? 1 second?]
It was so absurd that I muttered in my voice without even knowing that humans were watching.
The angel, who realized his mistake too late, broke into a sweat.
[Hmm, the record is said to be 1 second. Anyway, how weak is the boss… … .]
These words were inconsistent with the initial words that appealed to the boss’s strength.
[Okay, first of all, we will give rewards to the top 3. Please note that rewards are only paid to those with the highest contribution.]
A welcome message appeared before Ryumin’s eyes.
[congratulations! You have completed the quest as first place in the area!]
[congratulations! [You have completed the quest as first place in the entire district!]
[Currently, ‘Black Scythe’ is ranked 1st in the entire region and 1st in the region.]
[‘Advanced Epic Helmet Option’ will be given as a reward for ranking first in the area!]
[A ‘Special Reward Selection Box’ will be given as a reward for ranking first in all areas!]
‘High level epic helmet?’
Ryumin smiled.
It’s already time to change the pitching.
[You can choose one of the following epic helmets.]
[Please touch the reward you want.]
└ 1. Angel’s Ring
└ 2. Minotaur’s bull mask
└ 3. Hermes’ feather head
‘If there’s anything I need, it’s a feather hat. ‘Because there are some pretty attractive options.’
When I selected number 3, item information appeared.
