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.’

[Rune of Darkness]

– Effect: Allows free manipulation of darkness to utilize three effects. However, it cannot be used in areas with light.

? Flight ? Forms dark wings on your back.

? Barrier ? Creates a dark barrier. It can block projectiles or hold them and then deflect them.

? Scatter ? Scatters darkness like blades to attack. Deals hybrid damage, half physical and half magical.

‘Oh, this rune is quite useful.’

Seeing the rune obtained from Sariel, it had high versatility.

‘I can fly, use it as a shield, or launch it as an attack.’

It allowed the free manipulation of darkness.

The problem was it could only be used in darkness…

‘I have the Night of Death skill.’

As long as he could create artificial darkness, there was no need to worry about not being able to use the Rune of Darkness.

Ryu Min then allocated his stat points.

While distributing the 3,299 stat points evenly, the Reaper state was deactivated.

– Strength: 15,368, Intelligence: 16,088

– Agility: 16,160, Luck: 16,960

Thanks to Min Juri’s buff, the effect was immense.

‘Earlier, my stats were even higher. Despite his appearance, Sariel was ultimately a holy archangel.’

Given that he had a title that doubled his stats against holy beings, no angel could be a match for Ryu Min.

‘Hm, is he finally moving?’

After finishing his stat allocation, John Delgado started moving in earnest.

Sneaking cautiously, he approached Sariel’s body.

Then he urgently chanted a spell towards the corpse.

“Rise!”

As soon as he chanted the spell to make it a servant, the corpse reacted.

Woooong—

As a purple light swirled, Sariel’s soul emerged from the corpse.

With a blank expression, showing no emotions, Sariel’s soul broke the chains binding it to the body and knelt before John.

Though it didn’t speak, it was clear.

Sariel’s soul had successfully become bound to the necromancer.

“Su… success. It’s a success!”

John Delgado couldn’t hide his joy.

Unaware that Ryu Min had approached.

“What did you succeed at?”

“Hup!”

Startled, John inadvertently revealed his hidden ace.

“Ki… kill him! Kill that guy!”

Pointing at the Black Scythe, he ordered the newly undead Sariel.

Of course, it didn’t obey.

Ryu Min was still recognized as an ally.

“You seem to have forgotten the party hasn’t been disbanded yet.”

“Ah…”

Ryu Min sneered at the flustered John.

“You want to kill me that badly? Even if it means using an angel as your servant? But do you think it’s possible? The main body couldn’t do anything against me and died miserably.”

“……”

Naturally, it was impossible.

But John had no other option but to rely on the angel’s power.

Especially since he was struggling with the penalties.

“Fine, do whatever you want with the angel. However…”

Ryu Min approached threateningly.

“It’s best to abandon any thoughts of crawling up to me. If you want to keep your precious life.”

“……”

“Think carefully and decide. There will be no mercy next time.”

Turning away as if he wasn’t interested, Ryu Min actually had an intriguing thought.

‘Will killing a summoned angel count as killing an angel? Or not?’

If it did, he could easily stack the Demon’s Blessing using the necromancer.

He wanted to test it by killing Sariel immediately, but currently, the summoned angel was still recognized as an ally.

To test it, he needed to wait until the party disbanded after the round.

‘I’ll let him live until then.’

John stood there with a blank expression, not realizing his life was spared thanks to the angel becoming a servant.

[Is everyone gathered?]

By now, the colorless space, which was the starting point, was filled with many returnees.

Ryu Min’s team had also moved here shortly after killing the angel.

[Let’s check how many teams survived. Oh dear.]

The angel let out a feigned sigh.

[We started with 7,880 teams, but only 2,389 teams remain.]

Teams lacking a tanker, mage, or supporter would have been eliminated, but most likely died during the last trial.

Without a summoner, the fifth trial was impossible to clear.

[Originally, if more than half survived, we would rank the teams based on the order of clearing the trials and eliminate the rest. But we’re short.]

The target was 3,940 teams.

With only 2,389 teams making it, there was a shortfall of 1,551.

This was the first time there had been a shortfall, leaving the players surprised.

[Due to the shortfall, all 2,389 teams will survive. The total number of survivors is just under 10,000, at 9,994.]

Although the number of survivors wasn’t a multiple of five, the players understood.

Few teams survived with all five members intact.

Some had died to monsters or were eliminated by voting during the trials, so it was natural.

[Now we will tally the individual rankings. The criteria will be clear when you see the results. Let’s take a look.]

As the angel signaled with its wings, the result window appeared.

? Compilation of the 12th Round Results ?

[Integrated Area CA-EA001]

?1st. Black Scythe (Lv91 Reaper) 200 kills

?2nd. Dark Knight (Lv60 Dark Knight) 100 kills

?3rd. OldManNoGay (Lv60 Black Mage) 100 kills

[The individual ranking criteria were based on the number of monster kills!]

“What? The number of monster kills?”

“Do they mean the golems from the second and third trials?”

“Then supporters had no chance of getting first place?”

“Oh no! I should have killed 10 more golems.”

The players sighed at the belatedly revealed ranking criteria.

[In cases of the same kill count, the one who killed faster was given priority. Now, let’s proceed with the rewards.]

Soon after, a familiar message appeared before Ryu Min.
