The 100th Regression of the Max-Level Player

Chapter 32: First Wave (1)

Chapter 32: First Wave (1)

I will refuse the offer.

Ryu Min didnt faze Jo Joong-siks response. It was exactly as expected.

He wont easily let go of his pride, Ryu Min thought to himself.

Surprisingly, it was the onlooking players who were taken aback.

Hes rejecting it?

If he had followed the Black Scythe, he could have safely hunted with Black Scythe by his side.

Perhaps his pride was hit by knowing that he will obey Black Scythes orders.

Is his pride more important to him than his own life?

No wonder why Black Scythe is better than him.

Ha How shallow.

Some players mocked Jo Joong-sik and responded accordingly.

Their dismissive attitude seemed to amuse Ryu Min.

It was the same as in the previous regression.

I knew it, If I firmly draw the line at this timing

The players would aim for Jo Joong-sik without considering their own circumstances.

Ryu Min raised his gaze and looked at Jo Joong-sik.

Judging from Jo Joong-siks tense demeanor, he seemed to realize that his life was on the line.

Maybe in the next round but I cant be the zone representative this round, Ryu Min thought to himself, lacking any desire to kill Jo Joong-sik.

Alright. If you refuse, theres nothing I can do about it.

As Ryu Min turned his back and walked away, Jo Joong-sik wore an astonished expression.

What, whats this? Are you just leaving like this?

Well? Were you hoping Id spill your blood?

.

Ryu Min glanced at Jo Joong-sik, who remained speechless, and declared in a manner for others to hear.

I wont pay any attention to you anymore since you rejected your offer. Whether you live or die, its none of my concern.

Leaving only those words behind, Ryu Min calmly turned away, leaving the other players murmuring.

Did you hear that? He said he wont pay any attention to him.

Then it means were free to target that thug?

A sinister glint returned to the players eyes.

Without the involvement of the Black Scythe, they could take aim at Jo Joong-sik more freely.

It was the situation Ryu Min had anticipated.

Sensing the unsettling atmosphere, Jo Joong-sik secretly regretted his decision.

Darn it, should I have just accepted the offer?

However, following the Black Scythes orders was even worse than death to him.

Jo Joong-sik, the boss of the Jo family who held Seoul in his grasp, couldnt allow his pride to be compromised.

At that moment, a message appeared before everyones eyes.

The 1st wave will commence shortly.

Prepare for the first wave and protect the relic.

After 30 minutes, regardless of how many monsters remaining, the 2nd wave will proceed!

Time remaining until round end: 02:59:59.

It, its begun!

Everyone, protect the relic!

Upon hearing the news of monster appearances, people swiftly and confidently moved into action.

They gathered in the center of the village, intent on safeguarding the relic.

However, Jo Joong-sik couldnt join them.

Instead, he retreated towards the village entrance, evading the others.

I cant afford to fight alongside those who have their sights set on me. I might even get stabbed in the back.

Jo Joong-sik bit his lip, completely alone.

Fine, Ive always liked to work alone anyway.

Survival depended on individual achievements, he didnt care about cooperation.

But

Jo Joong-sik turned his head to the side.

Whats that guy doing over there?

Black Scythe stood guard at a different village entrance.

It seems like hes going to protect the other entrance too.

And then, it happened.

Whoooooosh!

The sound of a long horn whistle seemed to echo, and monsters emerged from the other side of the village.

Tsuut- Tsuut- Tsuut-

Naturally, Jo Joong-siks eyes widened at the sight.

There were more monsters than he had anticipated.

Damn it, how many are there?

He could roughly estimate the substantial number of monsters.

Seeing that multitude, Jo Joong-sik felt a sense of despair.

I cant handle such a massive number alone.

Fortunately, there were 4,900 forces present, so it wouldnt be a problem if each person only dealt with two monsters.

Moreover, unlike the open meadow in the first round, this place was a confined space a village.

There was a limit to the number of monsters that could enter.

Above all else

All the monsters are goblins. And theyre weaker than usual.

The opponents they faced in the first round are now weaker.

Even so, I cant handle such a vast number by myself.

Jo Joong-sik retreated to a safer spot, away from the surging green tide.

He planned to hide within the village for a while, observing the situation before engaging in battle.

But why isnt he moving?

Jo Joong-sik still couldnt comprehend why the Black Scythe was merely standing there.

Is he really planning to face the goblins alone at the entrance?

There were four village entrances in total.

The Black Scythe was guarding one of them.

Even if the entrance is narrow, its still wide enough for at least ten goblins to pass through

Could he truly handle ten goblins at the same time?

You damn brat, boasting just because you have a higher level!

Jo Joong-sik scoffed at the Black Scythe and concealed himself behind a window on the second floor of one of the houses.

He believed it was a safe spot to observe the situation.

In such a confined space, it would be easy to dispatch the goblins if they entered.

Jo Joong-sik swallowed nervously and peered out the window.

He could see Black Scythe confronting the goblins.

Huh? Hes more skilled than I thought!

With each swing of the massive scythe, gleaming in the sunlight, goblin heads were severed.

Not just one.

Every swing claimed the lives of four goblins simultaneously.

It was a one-shot kill with every swing!
