The 100th Regression of the Max-Level Player - RMLP Chapter 114: Heimer's Reward (Part 1)

It was a simple buff-type skill, but its power was far from simple.

‘It’s a skill that reduces the cooldown of the Moonlight Slash, which is normally available only once every 10 minutes, to one second.’

It’s only for 10 seconds, but still, Crimson Moon was the skill that enabled the consecutive use of Moonlight Slash.

‘Gathering the energy for Moonlight Slash takes one second, plus a one-second cooldown. So, I can use Moonlight Slash every two seconds.’

A skill that was used once every 10 minutes could now be used five times in just 10 seconds.

It felt like gaining an additional finishing move.

‘Now, after completing the escort, I’ll receive experience points as a reward and something extra from the dwarves.’

Excluding this, there was nothing more to gain from the Dwarf Merchant Guild.

“Alright, now that we’ve dealt with the monsters, let’s resume the traitor identification process!”

Following that, the process of identifying traitors continued, and several were killed.

However, among the traitors, there seemed to be assassins who escaped every time using their invisibility skills.

[Current Personnel Status]

└Participants: 190

└Traitors: 5

“Ha, there are only 10 minutes left, and there are still 5 traitors?”

“Is there anyone we haven’t attacked yet?”

“I guess we’ve tried stabbing everyone…”

“It’s frustrating how we didn’t catch them, even when we made everyone attack each other.”

During the 30 monster waves, they had tried to identify traitors numerous times.

But the traitors were never caught.

They could easily escape by avoiding the spot or using their invisibility skills.

‘With 200 people, it’s not like the group is too small to make finding them easy.’

Moreover, the constant monster attacks every 10 minutes left no spare time to search for the traitors.

Of course, there was the option of conducting a thorough investigation whenever there was a chance.

‘But for that, someone needs to take the lead, and nobody’s willing to do that.’

With the orc attacks keeping them busy, there was neither the time nor the energy to spare.

And it wasn’t feasible to split the time for the investigation, as it was impossible to remember each person without seeing their nicknames.

This dilemma was no small matter for the players.

“Hmm, are you sure we’ve stabbed everyone?”

“I’m telling you, we’ve tried more than ten times.”

“But why are there still 5 traitors?”

“Why are you asking me?”

“Then who should I ask, bastard?”

“This guy suddenly started cursing?”

“What? Are you my mom? You f***ing bastard.”

Perhaps due to exhaustion from fighting orcs, tempers were flaring.

“Stop it! Everyone, stop fighting!”

Someone stepped in to mediate in the heated atmosphere.

“Fighting like this isn’t going to solve anything.”

“Then do you have a better idea?”

“We should first discuss whether there’s anyone we haven’t stabbed yet.”

“We’ve stabbed everyone.”

“What about Black Scythe? Did anyone try stabbing Black Scythe?”

“Black Scythe?”

“Stab Black Scythe?”

“Who would be crazy enough to do that?”

“So, no one tried?”

“I couldn’t do it. Hehe.”

“What if Black Scythe is the traitor? I’d lose my head anyway!”

“That’s a point.”

“So, no one? Nobody?”

The murmuring reached Ryu Min’s ears.

Everyone’s attention was on him.

‘They seem to be suspecting me.’

At this point, someone eager to take charge was bound to appear.

Right about now.

“If you’re not confident enough to stab him, should I do it?”

“Go ahead and stab me.”

Ryu Min replied promptly as if taking the bait.

“If you’re confident, then try stabbing me.”

“……”

The player flinched at Ryu Min’s daunting aura but then burst out laughing.

“Heh, seeing you threaten like that, you must be the traitor, huh? Ha ha.”

“When did I ever threaten?”

“Didn’t you just glare at me as if you were going to kill me if I stabbed you?”

“Should I smile at someone who suspects me? Anyone would naturally feel bad when being doubted.”

Ryu Min feigned an annoyed expression and said again.

“If you want to stab me, go ahead and try.”

Most people usually back off when actually confronted.

Ryu Min, understanding this, deliberately took a strong stance.

Sure enough, the guy who had been confidently shouting now began to back away like a scolded puppy.

Among them, there was likely no player brave enough to actually stab Black Scythe.

‘But that doesn’t mean the suspicions have completely disappeared.’

Just as Ryu Min predicted, people murmured among themselves.

“Seeing that reaction, could it really be that Black Scythe is a traitor?”

“Surely not.”

“Has really no one ever tried stabbing him?”

They spoke as if Ryu Min couldn’t hear, but he heard every word.

However, it seemed Ryu Min wasn’t the only one who heard the murmurs.

“There’s no need to suspect Black Scythe-nim! I’ve tried stabbing him myself.”

Someone defended Ryu Min.

It was none other than Min Juri.
