The 100th Regression of the Max-Level Player

[Stop him! All of you, attack!]

Uriel, usually calm, shouted in frustration, his patience wearing thin. Yet, there was no response.

‘Damn it. If this continues, my spells…’

No matter how many tricks he had up his sleeve, there wasn’t a single spell capable of restraining an enemy moving at that speed.

‘There’s no choice. I’ll have to burn this entire area down.’

Uriel knew he had to stop the carnage before the damage became irreparable. He raised a dagger high into the air, chanting a spell.

Brilliant light gathered at the tip of the blade.

[U-Uriel?]

Seeing this, Raguel’s face twisted in panic.

[Are you seriously going to use that spell? If you’re not careful, you’ll kill our soldiers too…]

[We have no choice! Do you have any other way to stop that monster? Huh?]

Silenced by the grim reality, Raguel bit his lip.

Even Raguel couldn’t deny that Ryu Min was a monster beyond their comprehension. He was moving at a speed that defied reality, vastly more powerful than he had been just an hour ago.

How could they possibly stop him?

Raguel shook his head quietly.

‘It’s impossible.’

If Uriel, one of the most powerful archangels, was admitting defeat, there was no way Raguel could handle this.

[Even as we speak, our soldiers are dying. This is the only way.]

[But…]

[No more talking. You’re delaying my spell.]

[I apologize.]

Uriel clicked his tongue in frustration and resumed his chant.

‘If we wait any longer, that bastard will notice.’

However, Uriel didn’t realize that even while darting around, Ryu Min never took his eyes off the archangels. He had already figured out the spell Uriel was preparing.

‘So he plans to obliterate everything within 100 meters, including his own men.’

Realizing Uriel was about to use a large-scale area-of-effect spell, Ryu Min checked the system messages.

[Number of angels killed: 100/100]

[You have fulfilled the conditions to use the Demon’s Blessing.]

[You can use the activation command to trigger it at any time.]

With 100 enemies slain, he had met the requirement.

[There are 102 enemies within a 100-meter radius.]

[Due to the Rune of One Against Many, all stats are increased by 100%.]

Satisfied that all his stats were maximized, Ryu Min cast a buff on himself.

[You are now under the effects of the Demon’s Blessing.]

[Based on your current total stats (363,417), the following effects will be applied:]

[Upon killing an angel, you will gain gold equivalent to 1x the base value (363,417), with a maximum of 1,000x (363,417,000) depending on the angel’s rank.]

[Upon killing an angel, you will gain stat points equivalent to 0.01% (36) of the base value, with a maximum of 10% (36,341) depending on the angel’s rank.]

[Your reputation with the Demon faction will slightly increase with each angel slain.]

[The buff will last until the end of this round.]

With his total stats nearing 360,000, his potential gains were massive. However, there was no time to admire them.

If he didn’t stop Uriel, all these precious angels would be vaporized.

‘I’m too far away. In that case…’

A dark aura began to envelop the entire area as Ryu Min shadowed the night with his Night of Death skill. The surroundings turned pitch black.

The 100 fifth-rank angels and the two archangels were momentarily bewildered by the sudden darkness, but it didn’t last long.

[Hmph, if you think artificial darkness will stop my spell, you’re mistaken. No darkness can extinguish the light of the heavens.]

The light gathered at the tip of Uriel’s dagger was still glowing brightly.

Uriel’s lips curled into a faint smile as the spell neared completion.

[It’s done, Raguel. Brace yourself for the storm.]

Just as Uriel was about to lower the dagger to unleash the storm of light and flames, a flash of silver cut through the darkness.

Accompanied by the gleam of red eyes.

KWOOM!

Ryu Min’s Moonlight Slash obliterated 30 fifth-rank angels in a single strike. The attack also severed one of Uriel’s arms.

[Ugh…!]

With his arm cut off, Uriel’s painstakingly prepared spell dissipated immediately. He gritted his teeth, glaring into the darkness where the attack had originated.

‘That bastard… I had no idea he had such a powerful skill…’

It was his own fault for underestimating the enemy and neglecting to fully research the Death Transformation skills.

And that wasn’t the end of Ryu Min’s assault.

KWOOM! KWOOM!

[Angels killed: 67/100]

KWOOM!

[Angels killed: 100/100]

In less than six seconds, 100 angels vanished without a trace. The sheer power of the moonlight’s waves crushed and incinerated them.

[Th-This can’t be…]

Raguel was in shock, struggling to comprehend the destruction. He frantically looked around the ruined forest, unable to believe that all his subordinates had been killed in just three strikes.

[Wh-Where are they? Don’t hide—show yourselves, soldiers!]

But Raguel had no time to search for his soldiers.

There were still two Moonlight Slashes left, and one of them sliced through his leg, severing it cleanly.

[Aaaagh!]

He collapsed to the ground in agony, but it wasn’t over yet.

KWOOM!

The second strike grazed his face, burning half of it off.

[Aaaargh! My face! My face!]

As Raguel writhed in pain, Ryu Min calmly approached him.

“You’re worse than a bug.”

Raguel, glaring spitefully with half his face charred, lunged at Ryu Min in a final, desperate attempt.

[You wretched…! Urgh!]

Ryu Min’s scythe moved like lightning, piercing Raguel’s heart before he could even react.

Thud.

Raguel’s body crumpled to the ground, and Ryu Min turned his gaze toward Uriel.

Uriel, panic-stricken, began chanting a spell with his remaining arm.

Boom!

A cage of light dropped from the sky, surrounding Ryu Min.

[Got you! You’re…!]

*hatter!

With one swift strike, the light cage crumbled to pieces.

Uriel, now pale, cast another spell, conjuring a scroll of light to bind him.

But before Uriel could even blink, Ryu Min tore it apart with brute strength.

No matter what spell Uriel cast—be it beams of light, storms of holy energy, or exploding blades—nothing could scratch Ryu Min.

No spell could slow down the inevitable approach of the Grim Reaper.

Finally, Ryu Min came within arm’s reach of Uriel.

[Now I understand… You were hiding your true strength all along.]

“I needed your soldiers.”

[What…? You mean you lured me into summoning them?]

“Well, yes. I didn’t expect you to bring so many, though.”

Thanks to Uriel, he had managed to kill 100 more angels and fulfill the conditions for another use of the Demon’s Blessing.

“For that, I should thank you.”

Uriel seemed to sense his impending doom. Rather than beg for mercy, he grit his teeth and spoke defiantly.

[Killing me will be a mistake. The ones above me won’t let you get away with it.]

“If I don’t kill you, will they leave me alone?”

[……]

“Come on, if you want to live, just ask me to spare you.”

[You wouldn’t spare me anyway.]

“You’re right.”

Stab!

Ryu Min swiftly pierced Uriel’s heart, his scythe striking true. Uriel’s body slumped lifelessly to the ground in a death so swift he hadn’t even seen it coming.
