The 100th Regression of the Max-Level Player - RMLP Chapter 220: God-Tier Boots (Part 2)

‘Before taking on a mercenary quest…’

Ryu Min opened the crafting window.

[Main Materials]

– High-quality Leather Boots

[Sub Materials]

– Condensed Aether
– Black Iron Powder
– Mandragora’s Magic Stem
– New Material Leather
– Wind Spirit’s Feather

‘Let’s craft the God-tier item.’

Since he couldn’t craft a weapon yet, he decided to start with the boots.

[You are crafting a God-tier item.]

[The item will transform to match your current class.]

[Crafting success!]

[You have created the ‘Boots of Thanatos.’]

[Boots of Thanatos]

– Type: Boots
– Rank: God
– Defense: 1,200
– Effect: All Stats +50, Movement Speed +100%, Allows you to walk on air in darkness.
– Durability: 20,000/20,000
– Usage Restriction: Master Rank or above
– Description: Boots crafted using the divine essence of Thanatos, the God of Death. Wearing them as part of the Thanatos set grants additional effects.
– Thanatos Set Effect (4/5)
– 2-piece Effect: +20% Resistance
– 3-piece Effect: +10% Skill Damage
– 4-piece Effect: -30% Incoming Damage
– 5-piece Effect: ?????

The Boots of Thanatos weren’t just good for the stat boosts—they also allowed him to walk on air, as long as it was dark.

‘As long as it’s dark, I can walk freely in midair.’

He could jump into the air and use it as a foothold to launch himself back to the ground or even zigzag in the sky.

It was as if he had gained an entirely new field of movement, making the boots incredibly versatile.

The set bonus was also impressive, with the 30% reduction in incoming damage being particularly useful.

‘That’s the fourth piece. Now I just need to get the weapon, and I’ll have all the God-tier items.’

The remaining God-tier accessories could be obtained by defeating boss monsters, like dragons.

‘I’d better rank up in the mercenary guild soon.’

Ryu Min quickened his pace toward the Golden Eagle Mercenary Guild.

[Frown more, Raguel.]

Raguel, the 5th-ranked angel, stood for justice, fairness, and harmony. However, at this moment, he wore an expression that was anything but serene.

[Uriel, this is absurd! Why do two of us need to go just to deal with one human? What’s so terrifying about a mere bug of a human?]

Raguel’s frustration was understandable. His pride was hurt. It stung to have to descend to another realm just to hunt a single human being.

He felt like the entire situation was beneath him.

[I admit it’s strange too. How powerful could a human be?]

[Exactly, Uriel! There’s no need for someone of your caliber to get involved.]

[But what can we do? Both Gabriel and Raphael agreed to this. We can’t just refuse.]

[What were they thinking, making us take such pointless measures?]

[They must have thought it was safer for both of us to handle it.]

[It’s not that they don’t trust me to do the job alone, is it?]

[I can’t deny that possibility.]

[Hmph. Do they not know how well I performed in the Celestial-Demon War?]

Even though Raguel was a mid-tier angel now, his combat abilities far surpassed those of the 6th and 7th-ranked angels below him. He had single-handedly slaughtered countless demons during the 5th Celestial-Demon War, 200 years ago, driven by his sense of justice.

Uriel, acknowledging Raguel’s prowess, nodded as if to affirm his achievements.

[I know, and so do the higher-ups. That’s why you were promoted to archangel after that war.]

[Then why…?]

[They just want to make sure it’s dealt with thoroughly. After all, you know what happens when we underestimate someone.]

[Are you saying they’re aware of my skills yet still doubt me? I can handle a mere bug of a human!]

[And how did those who were so confident fare? They’re all missing in action, aren’t they?]

[……]

[There’s a 99% chance you’ll succeed alone, but with two of us, it’s 100%. That’s why they ordered both of us to go.]

[Still…]

[Look at what happened when they sent others alone. To ensure there are no mistakes this time, it’s a wise decision.]

Uriel’s gentle yet logical explanation managed to calm Raguel somewhat, though he still wore a displeased expression.

[But I could handle this human by myself…]

Seeing that Raguel remained dissatisfied, Uriel offered a proposal.

[How about this? I’ll let you fight him first. I’ll just stand back and watch.]

At that, Raguel’s sullen face immediately brightened.

[Really?]

[But if it looks dangerous, I’ll step in right away. No complaints if I intervene during the fight.]

[Hey, don’t worry! There’s no way things will get to that point. You won’t have to lift a finger! I’ll take care of it.]

[Fine, we’ll do it that way.]

[Thanks for the opportunity, Uriel. Hehe!]

[No need to thank me.]

As Raguel laughed confidently, Uriel smiled kindly in response. But inwardly, he was smirking.

‘I’ll let this fool fight first to gauge Black Scythe’s strength.’

Based on what had happened to Remiel and Sariel, it was clear that Black Scythe wasn’t an ordinary human.

Checking the records of the past rounds, Black Scythe had consistently ranked first—a remarkable feat for any human.

Dismissing him as a mere bug could result in serious consequences.

‘The only fortunate thing is that he hasn’t reached the max level yet.’

Even so, Black Scythe had killed two archangels—no small accomplishment.

‘It’s clear that levels alone don’t define strength. Raguel can probably handle it, but if not, I’ll step in.’

It was humiliating for two archangels to go after one human, but they couldn’t afford any more mistakes.

‘We can’t let our guard down. I’ll let Raguel engage first and then step in if necessary.’

Of course, if things went beyond what even Uriel could handle…

‘I’ll flee immediately, no questions asked.’

If Raguel died, so be it. Uriel had no intention of sacrificing himself over a human.

Even archangels value their lives.

[Shall we go now, Uriel?]

[Yes, track down Black Scythe’s location. It’s time to capture him.]

The two archangels smirked as they flapped their wings and ascended.
