Chapter 151: Reunion (1) |
Ryu Min activated the Red Moon and unleashed a barrage with the Moonlight Slash.
With each swing, fifty players turned to dust and vanished.
After decimating half of the enemy forces in five strikes, he grasped the scythe.
Screeeech-!
The scythe, extending like the grasp of a giant, swept away everything without exception.
The night enhanced his attack speed and the damage of Moonlight Slash even without needing to activate any other skill.
It was one-sided.
The absence of their equipment only made it easier.
“……”
“……”
Victor and Yamti, witnessing the massacre unfold in real time, were speechless.
They felt neither sympathy nor joy.
They simply waited for the inevitable end, as if observing a natural disaster.
Almost there, when Ryu Min was about to finish off the enemies, a welcome notification appeared before him.
[Player confirmed to have killed 1,000 players.]
[You have acquired the title ‘Slayer’.]
A slight smile crept up Ryu Min’s lips behind his mask.
It was the title he had been waiting for.
[Title – Slayer]
-Acquisition Condition: Kill 1,000 players.
-Effect: Damage dealt to players increased by 50%. Inflicts the abnormal state ‘Fear’ on all players who witness a killing for 3 seconds.
The number of players Ryu Min had killed before and during this encounter combined reached 1,000.
A title perfect for massive battles had appeared.
‘Increases damage, making it easier to kill, and then spreads fear around after the deed.’
Sure enough.
In front of him stood fifty test subjects, whom he immediately slew with the scythe.
Snick-
After killing one, the others froze in place like toys with depleted batteries, losing their will to fight and unable to move from fear.
The abnormal state ‘Fear’ was successfully applied.
‘The duration of fear is only 3 seconds.’
It seemed short, but it was significantly long enough if it kept being applied.
Scratch- Scratch-
As another fell, fear reset with each death.
Kill and reset, kill and reset.
As Ryu Min continued his massacre, the rest were immobilized by fear, trembling in place.
‘That’s why it’s such an overpowered title in battles, especially against many enemies.’
The downside was its applicability only to players, making it less versatile.
‘Still, better than nothing.’
Initially, Ryu Min was unaware such a title existed.
It was only after noticing the actions of Ma Kyung-rok and An Sang-cheol that he realized something was up.
‘Whenever those guys slaughtered players, I saw them being affected by fear and realized there was something to it.’
Later, after destroying KF, he finally learned about the title.
‘If someone saw this, they’d say, isn’t it crazy to kill a thousand players?’
Yes, it’s possible.
Specifically, in the 11th round.
When the countries merged and the number of players increased, Ma Kyung-rok and An Sang-cheol committed massacres.
Indiscriminately killing players from other countries.
All for the cursed points.
‘Assumably, they’ll obtain the Slayer title in the process.’
Ryu Min didn’t mind others obtaining the title.
However, he disliked the idea of anyone having the power to oppose him.
‘And being affected by fear is unpleasant.’
Even if affected for just 3 seconds, his high resistance would shorten it to 0.3 seconds, but he still disliked the notion.
More importantly, with so many people dying, the number of survivors for future rounds would decrease.
Thus, Ryu Min aimed to deny them the chance to obtain the title.
‘I must be the only one to obtain the Slayer title.’
As long as he did as in previous rounds, there shouldn’t be an issue.
Though the 11th round was still some time away.
Clang! Thunk!
Having retrieved his extended scythe to its original state, Ryu Min deactivated his skills.
There were no enemies left standing.
‘Smells as trash.’
Looking up, he saw heaps of bodies forming hills.
Half were obliterated without a trace due to unbearable damage.
It was an approximate 500 to 1 battle.
The result of the fight was the overwhelming victory of the one.
Ryu Min grimaced as he erased the remnants, turning the bodies to ashes.
With so many, even erasing them was a task.
After a while, when the gruesome scene was cleared, Ryu Min turned his attention.
Items were scattered everywhere, relinquished by the dead.
‘Lucky the inventory has infinite capacity. All these items are mine for the taking.’
Starting with the Nigerian human traffickers, climbing up to KF, rescuing the alchemist, and using Odion to farm items.
And now, having killed 1,000 unarmed players and obtained the title as well.
Everything went according to plan.
‘All that’s left is to win over the alchemist’s heart.’
