Chapter 292: End of Round 18 (2) |
The war between the Angels and the Demons ended with a victory for the Angels.
Both sides had nearly exhausted their forces, but because the demons fell below 10% first, their defeat was confirmed.
[Th-the Angel faction has won, huh? Looks like it was closer than expected?]
The angel Milen, who served as a guide, forced an awkward smile as she looked at the result screen.
And no wonder—she had been watching the war unfold from above the whole time.
The process of Ryu Min massacring both angels and demons alike—she saw it all.
That’s why her voice trembled, and she was breaking out in a cold sweat.
[C-congratulations. If the demons had won, you all would’ve been wiped out… but you somehow survived Round 18.]
Having said that, Milen almost reflexively made a sarcastic remark toward the humans but quickly shut her mouth.
[Haha… You must be tired now that the war is over, so I won’t say much. Sh-shall we check the results right away?]
★ Round 18 Result Tally ★
[Integrated Region CA-EA001]
└1st. Black Scythe (Lv99 Reaper) – Contribution: 91,918,212 points
└2nd. Democracy (Lv82 Buffer) – Contribution: 291,290 points
└3rd. Krissy (Lv82 Priest) – Contribution: 210,912 points
The eyes of those looking at the results widened.
The overwhelming contribution score of Black Scythe drew everyone’s attention.
But there was something else that caught their eyes, too.
“Huh? Black Scythe-nim’s level…”
“Level 99?”
“Isn’t 99 the max level?”
“When did he even level up?”
They realized late that he had hit the level cap.
Not that it mattered to Ryu Min—his gaze was focused elsewhere.
└Kill 1,000 Demons
└Reward: Legendary Potion Selection Box
[You have completed the sub-quest!]
[As a reward, you have received the “Legendary Potion Selection Box”!]
Others didn’t know, but Ryu Min knew.
He knew that killing a thousand demons would unlock a sub-quest.
Of course, if another player had killed that many, they would’ve received the same reward.
But unless they were as strong as Ryu Min, such a mission was impossible.
‘Potion box, huh. I’ll have to try it later.’
For now, Ryu Min’s concern was elsewhere.
Would the players he cared about survive or be erased?
[You’ve all checked your rankings, right? Players ranked below 143 in contribution will be erased. Judging by the looks on your faces, it’s easy to tell who’s going to disappear.]
The people whose faces turned pale were clearly doomed for deletion.
Those who sighed in relief must’ve barely made it.
And those with bright expressions clearly survived safely.
[Unfortunately, it’s time to say goodbye. Save the farewells for the afterlife.]
No sooner had the angel finished speaking—
“N-noooooooo!”
“Uaaaaaaaah!”
Half the players vanished like dust.
Ryu Min scanned the remaining players quickly and felt inward relief.
‘All my acquaintances survived.’
The ones who died were mostly those who were dead weight in battle anyway.
‘Glad I gave my acquaintances points before the round.’
Even though he had shared points with them and used up the last of his 1 million remaining points just to hit max level, Ryu Min smiled.
He smiled as he looked at the reward message that popped up.
[As a reward for clearing Round 18, all surviving players receive experience points and gold.]
[EXP +0%]
[This player can no longer gain experience points.]
[Gold +6,000,000]
As the reward was distributed to everyone, the crowd’s expressions brightened.
“W-wow, my level broke into the 90s!”
“I’m already at 95!”
“You too? Me too!”
The gloom over losing comrades quickly lifted.
Thanks to the massive gold and experience reward—double that of the previous round.
It was meaningless for Ryu Min, though.
‘Experience doesn’t increase anymore since I’m max level, and I already collected nearly 160 billion in gold from killing angels.’
It was so excessive that any more had no real value.
‘What matters more is the first-place reward.’
Since this round had been particularly large in scale, winning first place granted a special reward.
That’s what Ryu Min was waiting for.
And sure enough, the reward messages filled his vision.
[Congratulations! You have completed the quest as the 1st place player in this region!]
[Current ranking of “Black Scythe”: 1st place in this region.]
[As a reward for 1st place in this region, you have received the “Rune Selection Ticket”!]
[As a reward for 1st place in this region, you have received the “Special Reward Selection Box”!]
