The 100th Regression of the Max-Level Player

Chapter 67: Too Easy (2)

“Black Scythe! Let’s team up!”

“What?”

“Huh? Oh… pa-party.”

Black Scythe raised an eyebrow.

Understanding the term “party” shouldn’t be beyond them.

“Why should I team up with you?”

“Well, um…”

Min Juri concluded that demonstrating would be quicker than explaining.

She suddenly extended her hand, a burst of light emanating from it.

As the light seeped into Black Scythe’s consciousness, his surprise was momentary.

“What’s… this?”

“This is Bless. My buff skill. It lasts for 3 hours. Most likely, all stats have increased by 50%.”

Even though Black Scythe comprehended, he still double-checked his status window.

“It appears to be true.”

“Is this explanation sufficient? My buff can be a tremendous aid during hunts.”

“So, if I want to continue receiving your buffs, you want me to team up with you?”

“Yes. To be precise, assist me with my hunting.”

“Hmm.”

Black Scythe rubbed his chin, pretending to ponder.josei

Then, he looked at her with an intentionally cool gaze.

“I hold the upper hand here. But I could use you as my subordinate right away.”

“Uh…”

Min Juri was taken aback.

This turn of events hadn’t crossed her mind.

Of course, Black Scythe had no intention of wasting his authority.

“Can you promise not to stab me in the back?”

“Well, of course!”

“Very well. Let’s give it a shot.”

Black Scythe suddenly extended his hand.

Min Juri snapped back to reality and cautiously grabbed hold of it.

“Since we’re teaming up, let’s at least have a brief introduction. [Black Scythe], level 32, class: Reaper.”

“Ah, I’m [Democracy], level 13, and I’m a buffer.”

“Do you need help though? I saw you dealing with the orcs quite well earlier.”

“It was my first time, and to be honest, it was tough.”

“It took you about an hour and a half to take your first kill?”

“Ahaha… it just turned out that way…”

Min Juri found herself playfully scratching her head, unable to say that waiting for Black Scythe had caused her to waste precious time.

“Looks like we’re short on time.”

“Yes… I just took down one orc, and I need to hit 300 quickly.”

“Then let me speed things up.”

“How can you help?”

“I’ll weaken the orcs enough for you to finish them off. You just need to land the final blow, and the credit will be yours.”

In gaming terms, he was suggesting she land the killing blow.

“Can you manage that?”

“Absolutely. You saw me handle the orcs earlier. I’m not weak enough to be unable to finish them.”

“Then there’s no need to worry. Let’s go.”

“Just a moment.”

At Min Juri’s call, Ryu Min turned casually.

“What’s up?”

“While I appreciate the help, I’m wondering if my presence will disrupt your quest.”

“Don’t worry about that. I’ve already completed the main quest.”

“Really?”

He’s already taken down 300 orcs?

Yet, there are over eight hours left for this round to end.

While Min Juri contemplated this, Ryu Min continued, “I’m not aiming for the main quest. It’s a sub-quest. I’ve already obtained one Balance Stone.”

“Oh, you’ve already got one?”

“I defeated the boss Orc Warrior. To get the others, I’ll likely need to defeat more bosses.”

“Oh… there are bosses…”

Being well-acquainted with games, Minjuri had anticipated that bosses would show up at some point.

Just not in this round.

“If you’re interested in the sub-quest, just let me know. I’ll give you a shot at facing bosses solo.”

“Oh, no. Taking on orcs alone is already tough, let alone bosses…”

Min Juri clapped her hands together and sneakily glanced at Ryu Min.

‘So that’s what you were worried about? You thought I might covet the Balance Stone and betray you.’

Although she believed in him, Min Juri couldn’t help but think that way.

“Don’t worry, Black Scythe. I have no ambitions for sub-quest. I’m content with the main quest alone. So there’s no chance of betrayal. Not that I have the skills for it…”

“Got it. I’ll see if I can trust you.”

With that, Ryu Min took the lead.

Min Juri followed closely, keeping up.

“Don’t stay behind, come to my side. If you’re out of my sight, I can’t protect you.”

“Sure thing.”

Min Juri no longer feared Black Scythe.

‘He’s not as ruthless as I thought, based on our conversation.’

He offered help, advised her to move to the side when danger lurked, and subtly looked out for her.

‘Min made the right call. Honestly, I was unsure if Black Scythe would agree to party up with me, but now he’s helping me…’

She wondered how they would tackle the orcs, but she would find out eventually.

With those thoughts in mind, as they walked side by side, a group of orcs suddenly appeared.

“Chwik- Chwik!”

As three orcs approached menacingly, Min Juri raised her rapier, bracing herself.

Then, at that moment…

“Wait a moment.”

Nonchalantly, Ryu Min stepped forward, swinging his scythe low.

The orcs’ thick legs were severed, like slicing through meat.

“Kwoak!”

“Kreuk!”

The upper bodies of the fallen orcs hit the ground, and Ryu Min’s scythe flashed once more.

This time, the arms were severed from the torsos.

The orcs, now with just torsos and heads, cried out in agony.

“Now, finish them off. All three.”

“….”

“Why are you hesitating?”

“Sorry.”

Regaining her composure, Min Juri moved toward the orcs.

Thud- Thud- Thud!

Taking their lives wasn’t a difficult task.

Especially when dealing with helpless opponents who had lost their limbs.

[You have defeated the orcs!]

[Experience gained +2.35%]

[Gold +40]

Min Juri’s mouth hung open as she read the messages that appeared.

‘This, this is… even if it’s easy, this is too easy!’

She knew firsthand how challenging orcs could be.

They were no pushovers as goblins.

So, even though they were considered tough, she expected there to be some level of danger.

‘But it’s not dangerous at all.’

It felt as easy as plucking meat off a fishbone.

‘Killing orcs is this easy?’

Her admiration for Black Scythe’s skills was renewed.

“Let’s continue.”

“Ah, yes!”

She felt it once again.

How fortunate she was to have teamed up with Black Scythe.
