The 100th Regression of the Max-Level Player

Chapter 136: Supreme Being (2)

‘Once I return, I’ll ask Min Juri to help me use it. But before that…’

Ryu Min opened the combination window.

‘Now that I’ve gathered all the legendary materials, shall I try making an item?’

Thanks to the legendary material he had just acquired, he had everything he needed.

Ryu Min opened the store window and bought a master-grade scythe called the “Death Scythe.”

He planned to create a legendary weapon with this.

‘Using the existing Death Side as a material would only produce an expert-grade legendary.’

What Ryu Min wanted was a master-grade legendary weapon.

He bought a normal scythe for 6,000 gold from the store for this reason.

[Main Ingredient]

– Death Scythe

[Supplementary Ingredients]

– Immortal’s Skin Fragment

– Ogre’s Heart

– Mage Skeleton’s Bone Powder

– Supreme Quality Tough Leather

– Abyssal Orb

Ryu Min would have liked to make a god-grade weapon, but he held back.

“I’m not lacking in damage yet, so it’s better to make other equipment first.”

Thus, the god-grade weapon was pushed to a later priority, but he couldn’t keep using the unique weapon, Death Side, forever.

That’s why he decided to create a legendary weapon.

‘Shall we try combining them?’

Upon pressing the combination button, a bright light burst forth.

[Combination Successful!]

[You have created ‘Corrupted God’s Claw Scythe’.]

[Corrupted God’s Claw Scythe]

– Category: Weapon

– Grade: Legendary

– Attack Power: 666

– Effects: Attack speed +100%, the width and length of the scythe can be extended up to 5 times. However, damage is distributed among the number of monsters within range.

– Durability: 10,000/10,000

– Usage Restriction: Master grade and above

– Description: A scythe once favored by a fallen god. It earned its name for its ability to sweep up monsters like a claw.

As described, the claw scythe’s length and range can be adjusted.

‘Meaning, this scythe can be used as a ranged weapon.’

It can be extended while swinging and retracted as well.

It’s essentially a scythe that can be freely manipulated like a whip.

‘Plus, the size of the scythe increases, so does the attack range.’

With an increased range and area, it’s effective for slaughtering multiple enemies.

Almost to the extent of a Moonlight Slash.

‘An ordinary attack having the range of a Moonlight Slash. In other words, it’s the perfect weapon for mob hunting.’

The downside is that damage is distributed according to the number of monsters, but if it’s a group of low-level monsters, it can kill them in one hit.

‘It’s not weak against a single target either.’

If there’s only one monster within the attack range, the damage isn’t distributed and focuses solely on that one monster.

Truly a weapon that benefits the user regardless of the number of enemies.

It’s no wonder Ryu Min couldn’t wipe the smile off his face.

‘With this, winning first place in this round should be easy.’

As he was inserting the magic stones from the Death Side into the new weapon, the tower shook, and a message appeared.

[All floors of the tower have been conquered, and no rewards remain.]

[The Tower of Trials Collapse Sequence will commence.]

[Players will be returned to their original dimensions shortly.]

[Congratulations on conquering the Tower of Trials once again.]

When Ryu Min opened his eyes, all he saw was pitch-black darkness.

He was back in the original cave, the site of the sub-quest discovery, but now there was no portal or anything visible.

Since he had conquered it, no one else would find it now.

‘I should proceed with the main quest.’

As he retraced his steps, Ryu Min reverted from his transformation.

Having feasted to his heart’s content, there was no longer any need to maintain the guise of a Lostyak.

As he ran swiftly, he saw the extermination team still stationed at the entrance to the Forest.

‘Fortunately, I’m not too late.’

Ryu Min had been in the tower for nearly 28 hours, but for them, only a few minutes had passed.

Since the flow of time wasn’t shared, it was as if to say, ‘Don’t worry about the mundane world.’

‘Uh? Is that Black Scythe?’

Min Juri spotted Ryu Min and was visibly surprised.

Although Ryu Min had seen her 28 hours ago, it was only a few minutes ago from Min Juri’s perspective.

“Is it really you, Black Scythe-nim??”

“Yes. Can’t you tell?”

“I never thought I’d see you here. I assumed you’d definitely go to number 5.”

“Didn’t you say you were going to number 1?”

“Uh? Oh…”

Min Juri’s eyes widened even more than they already were.

-Could it be that he followed me because I said I was going to number 1?

Hearing her inner thoughts, Ryu Min felt a bit embarrassed.

‘I’ve unintentionally given her the wrong impression.’

To dispel Min Juri’s mistaken thoughts, Ryu Min added,

“I thought following you to get the buff would be more beneficial than choosing number 5. I’ve become so reliant on the buff.”

“Didn’t I give you the buff before making the choice?”

“Yes, but you never know, right? The quest might take longer than expected to need continuous buffs. And I somehow felt that number 1 might be a better choice than number 5.”

“Oh.”

Convinced by his explanation, Min Juri nodded her head.

“Anyway, it’s good that you came. With Black Scythe here, the extermination is as good as done.”

Smiling, Min Juri reached out her hand.

“Speaking of which, let me apply the buff again.”

“Thank you.”

“Don’t mention it. Compared to the help I’ve received from you, this is nothing.”

As Min Juri was applying the buff, the extermination team slowly began to enter the forest.

Most players had tense expressions, but Min Juri walked as if on a leisurely stroll, chatting with the Black Scythe. Having the strongest player of level 80 by her side, there was no need for her to feel nervous.

Even though she was unaware that his level had risen to 89.

‘Even if they find out about the level increase later, they probably won’t suspect anything.’

They would think it strange since he had power-leveled at the lowest level of difficulty, the Lizardman extermination, but that’s about it.

Most would just shrug it off.

“Have you ever fought a Lizardman before?”

“No.”

“Well, it’s my first time too.”

Although he had encountered them while roaming with the Elf guild during round 8, he pretended otherwise.

Min Juri believed they had tackled the Dwarf guild together and passed.

“How strong are Lizardmen? Since number 1 is supposed to be the easiest, they shouldn’t be too strong, right?”

“Don’t worry. You’re strong enough.”

“Still, it’s a bit nerve-wracking since it’s my first time facing them.”

“Then watch others fight them first. If it’s your first encounter, it’s not a bad idea to observe before engaging.”

“That might be a good idea. Thanks for the advice. I’ll learn by watching you fight.”

“Well, watching me might not be that helpful.”

He spoke the truth, but it seemed Min Juri didn’t hear him.

In her mind, she was convinced that seeing the Black Scythe in action would be reassuring.

“What’s that scythe you have? I haven’t seen it before.”

“Oh, this? I happened to come across an opportunity to get it.”

“It looks even better than the previous one.”

As they continued their casual conversation, suddenly,

“Shiiiiik-!”

“Shiiii-!”

Lizardmen burst forth from the forest as if they had been lying in wait.

The extermination team leader, Kaltz, shouted with a tense expression.

“Everyone, prepare for battle!”

It was inevitable.

The number of Lizardmen that sprung forth wasn’t just one or two.

Easily numbering in the hundreds.

Since the number of monsters appearing was designed to match the number of participants, it was expected.

“There are too many Lizardmen! Warriors from the other world, don’t separate from each other. Watch each other’s sides and exterminate the Lizardmen…”

Suddenly, Kaltz stopped speaking.

The players were staring blankly in one direction, dumbfounded.

“What are you all doing during battle!”

It was perilously irresponsible to zone out during combat.

Before scolding them, Kaltz moved to see what they were staring at.josei

Then, he too, stopped in his tracks.

He, like the players, could only stand there, staring.

They witnessed the Grim Reaper, sweeping Lizardmen aside with his scythe.
