Chapter 204: Compilation of the 12th Round Results (1)

Thud—

Debris fell from the walls of the half-collapsed cave.

Underneath lay Sariel, whose waist had been severed.

‘It looks like a corpse, but he’s not dead yet.’

With the Mark of Death placed on him, he could see his remaining life force.

Although he was barely hanging on.

‘I didn’t expect it to end up like this with just one hit from the Moonlight Slash?’

After exchanging several blows with Sariel, he had gauged his level.

‘It’s true that in terms of strength and agility, he’s stronger than Ramiel, but it’s just a minor difference.’

Of course, the strange wail he let out at the end was unexpected.

‘From reading his mind, it seems like an ability that forced fear on others… If it were anyone else, they would have been completely paralyzed.’

Ryu Min has a resistance to status effects of 90.2%.

There was no way such a petty trick could affect him.

Especially since he recently got two rings each with a 40% resistance, making it even less likely.

‘I increased my resistance precisely for moments like this.’

Feeling good about raising his resistance, he approached Sariel.

Though he was already more or less a corpse, his ears were still open.

“As the Archangel of Death, you seem on the verge of actually dying.”

[Keugh…]

“A guy like you is ranked 6th? You must have climbed to that spot using that noisy ability. How disappointing.”

Sariel, despite being on the brink of death, glared at him with fierce eyes, still holding onto his pride.

[Just… kill me.]

“Before that, I have some questions.”

[Do… do you think I’ll answer them?]

“I’ll ask anyway. Are you archangels the ones organizing the survival game by kidnapping humans? Or is it something the system does on its own?”

[……]

“Who created the system?”

[……]

“What’s the purpose of all this? What’s your goal?”

[……]

Although Sariel clamped its mouth shut in defiance, there was no need for him to speak.

The questions were meant to read his thoughts.

– Foolish human. How would I know such high-level information? Maybe Lord Raguel, who’s ranked 5th, would know.

Ryu Min smiled.

‘Raguel? So that guy knows?’

He tried to read further, hoping for useful information.

But there was nothing new, only what he already knew.

At that moment, Ryu Min’s radar caught the sound of irregular breathing 60 meters away.

Turning his head, he saw the necromancer looking this way with an excited expression.

‘Why is he staring so intently?’

Feeling the eyes of greed, Ryu Min approached to read his thoughts.

When he got within 30 meters, John Delgado’s thoughts came through.

– If the Black Scythe kills that angel, I should try to make it my servant when I get the chance. I don’t know if it’s possible, though.

Understanding his intentions, Ryu Min was mildly impressed.

‘Come to think of it, there was a necromancer in the party?’

A necromancer collects souls to command as undead spirits or reanimates bodies to fight like zombies.

‘I wonder if it’s really possible to collect an angel’s soul? I’m curious.’

Since the body was already halved, he likely intended to make it an undead spirit.

‘Alright, let’s see how it goes.’

Smiling, Ryu Min approached Sariel again.

Even though it was on the verge of death, it kept cursing inwardly.

– It’s faster to just kill me than to hear my answers, you idiot.

“I was planning to anyway.”

[What?]

Thud—!

Like striking with a pickaxe, he drove his scythe into its head, severing it from its body.

Instant death.

[You have defeated one of the Seven Archangels, Sariel!]

[Stat Points +3,299]

[Gold +32,990,100]

[You have received ‘Condensed Ether’ as a reward for killing Archangel Sariel.]

[You have received ‘Rune of Darkness’ as a reward for killing Archangel Sariel.]

[The obtained rune will automatically be engraved on the player’s body!]

[Your reputation with the Demon faction has slightly increased.]

? Defeat the Seven Archangels

? Current number of defeated archangels (2/7)

? Reward upon completion ? ?????

Upon killing the angel with the Demon’s Blessing active, the rewards were immense.

‘It’s more than what I got for killing Ramiel.’

However, this opponent was easier to deal with than Ramiel.

It probably felt that way because he had significantly become stronger after killing Ramiel.

‘I also received a new rune and a god-tier material.’

With Condensed Ether in hand, visiting the dwarves in the 13th round was a certainty.

To gather other god-tier materials, he needed the dwarves’ help.

Before checking the new rune’s information, Ryu Min discreetly moved aside.

He made room for John Delgado to step in.

‘Let’s see what kind of rune it is.’
