Chapter 185: TOP 10 (1)
The Prophet spoke.
“You must hold on to the one who saves your life in the 11th round.”
“If you miss him, you won’t make it past the 15th round and you’ll die.”
‘No, no way. How will I survive?’
Christine quickly began to appeal for herself.
“You don’t know how useful I am, do you? Ha ha, if you get hurt, I can heal you, and I can also apply buffs to prevent status ailments and debuffs and also...”
“None of that is necessary for me.”
“Excuse me?”
“I don’t get hurt, and my resistance to status ailments is already high. There’s no reason for me to travel with a priest.”
“....”
Certainly, a priest is an excellent partner for survival.
Healing is different from emergency treatment, and as the rounds progress, there is nothing scarier than status ailments and debuffs.
Even Ryu Min acknowledges the necessity of a healer.
‘But only in the later stages.’
At level 60, priests learn the resurrection skill.
Only then is it worth taking a healer along as insurance.
‘But right now, it’s useless. Just baggage.’
Christine, seemingly recognizing this, hung her head in silence.
No, reading her thoughts, she was desperately searching for another way.
Because of Ryu Min’s prophecy that she must stay with the Black Scythe.
‘Don’t worry, Christine. I have no reason to reject you.’
Not knowing how strong the final boss battle would be, a priest who can offer an additional resurrection is essential.
However, for now, it was necessary to keep some distance under a reasonable pretext.
“This round is a team battle where you earn points by killing the opposing team. You and I are competitors from different zones. Do you think we can cooperate in such a situation? Why would I trust you?”
“You saved me.”
“So if I save you again, you’ll ask to marry me?”
“...”
“Do you trust me that much? Even though you just met me?”
In truth, Christine trusted the prophecy.
She clung to the Black Scythe because it said she would survive if she held onto him.
But after listening to the Black Scythe’s advice, her thoughts changed.
‘If it’s this person, I can trust him.’
Even though they just met, he understood her situation and concerns and gave advice.
A man with both strength and insight.
Ryu Min knew that the survival cutoff for the 11th round was 13 million.
Each person needed to earn 20,000 points in 24 hours to survive.
But Ryu Min was not content with just surviving.
‘Exceeding 13 million is no problem.’
He aimed to make both the group and his individual score number one.
He was confident.
When there was only an hour left, the final surge would begin.
‘Until then, I need to focus on earning points.’
He couldn’t let obstacles like Ma Kyung-rok or the Black Society get in the way.
To do that, Ryu Min wore the Doppelganger’s Ring.
[Please state the nickname you wish to change to.]
[Existing nicknames cannot be used.]
[However, the nicknames of deceased persons are available.]
Ryu Min chose a nickname that his acquaintances wouldn’t recognize.
‘Lostyak.’
[The nickname will be changed from ‘Black Scythe’ to ‘Lostyak’.]
He also wore the Assassin’s Mask to change his face.
‘In case someone recognizes me.’
Both the nickname and appearance.
He had completely turned into Lostyak.
No one would be able to trace him now.
They would have to think of Lostyak instead of Black Scythe.
‘If they try to track Black Scythe, it will show as non-existent.’
He didn’t care if they thought he was dead.
He could just claim that he obtained a rune that cancels tracking.
‘No one will chase me now, so let’s start earning points in earnest.’
He had already planned in his head the most efficient quests and routes to take.
‘Amplification.’
Crackle-
He filled his body with electricity, doubling his movement speed.
Swish-!
Ryu Min disappeared in a flash of light.
