The 100th Regression of the Max-Level Player - RMLP Chapter 253: Integration (Part 2)

Accepting the answer calmly, Alex maintained a positive outlook. True to form, his character was as reliable as ever.

“Thank you for your answer. I’ll see you around.”

“Take care.”

After Alex left, a few more interviews followed. Finally, someone Ryu Min had eagerly anticipated appeared.

[Name: Dorothy Clayton]
[Nickname: Dorothy]
[Nationality: Netherlands]
[Level: 69]
[Otherworld Class: Archer]
[Age: 22]
[Date of Birth: December 24, 2000]
[Reason for Joining: Out of respect for Black Scythe.]

‘She’s here—Dorothy, the divine archer who survives until the 18th round.’

While the archer class was common, surviving with such a class was no small feat.

“You’re approved.”

“Pardon? But you haven’t asked me anything yet.”

“I already know enough.”

Without further ado, Ryu Min approved her application.

Thus, in just three days, all 175 players rescued by Ryu Min had joined the Death Church.

The Death Church now held every surviving player in the world.

‘This is perfect.’

Now came the crucial part: ensuring the survival of his recruits while navigating the rounds ahead.

As soon as the last applicant left the Death Church’s headquarters, Heo Tae-seok and Em Jun-seok approached Ryu Min.

“Thank you for your hard work, Black Scythe.”

“You too, Sect Leader Heo. And you as well, Cardinal Em Jun-seok.”

“Thank you, Black Scythe.”

For a brief moment, Heo Tae-seok’s expression shifted subtly, but Ryu Min had already turned his head away.

“I’ll be leaving now. Take some time to rest until I contact you again.”

“Understood. Safe travels, sir.”

“Very well.”

With that, Ryu Min unfurled the wings on his back and soared high into the sky.

On his way back home, he suddenly paused and descended onto a nearby building’s rooftop.

“I need to meet Min Juri. I can’t keep avoiding her.”

It was high time to mend their relationship. Returning to their old camaraderie was crucial to avoiding complications during future rounds.

Tap, tap, tap.

His fingers moved quickly across his phone, typing a text message. A reply arrived shortly after.

[Min Juri: Sure, let’s meet.]

The short response left Ryu Min feeling a little uneasy.

“I should bring something to ease the awkwardness. Maybe a crafted item?”

Rummaging through his inventory, he recalled he had been meaning to use the Infinite Material Pouch for some time.

“A god-tier item is out of the question without Aether, but a legendary-tier item should be enough to impress her.”

With his sky-high luck stat, he was confident in obtaining excellent materials.

[You used the Infinite Material Pouch.]
[Congratulations! You’ve obtained 5 material items!]
[The items have been added to your inventory.]

As he inspected the materials, Ryu Min tilted his head in confusion.

“Not a single legendary-tier material? And what are these unfamiliar ones?”

To his dismay, there wasn’t even a god-tier material among them, leaving him unable to craft a legendary item for Juri.

“Well, nothing I can do about it.”

Slightly disappointed, Ryu Min took off, heading to their agreed meeting place.

***

Meanwhile, in a Different Dimension.

Rumble.

A dimensional portal opened, revealing an enormous repository of knowledge—the Akashic Records.

[Welcome, Michael.]
[Greetings, Luvaiah.]

The archangel Michael entered the grand space, his expression grim.

[There’s a problem.]

[Is it about the Demon Resurrection Codex?]

[You’re well-informed, I see.]

[Are you worried about the gods’ wrath?]

[No.]

Michael shook his head decisively. The gods’ anger could be pacified eventually, but this was not the issue weighing on him.

[That’s trivial. The real problem is that the gods want Black Scythe captured before the 18th round.]

[Understandable. Giving the demon duke a reason to intervene isn’t something they’d want. For the gods, his involvement would ruin their game.]

[Do you have a solution?]

[…]

[I skipped the 15th round to buy time, but there are no excuses left. If I delay any further, Gabriel and Raphael will grow suspicious.]

[In that case, the only option is to strike Black Scythe during the 16th round.]

[Do you mean I should be involved personally?]

[What would you do? Pretend to lose and retreat?]

[…]

[If you fail, the gods will doubt your competence. Instead, send Gabriel and Raphael.]

[You want me to send both?]

[Raphael isn’t a combat specialist, but in this case, you’ll need them both.]

[That pair is practically invincible together.]

[Don’t worry. If Black Scythe’s abilities are as formidable as we’ve observed, he’ll be able to fend them off.]

Michael’s eyes widened slightly in surprise.

[Is Black Scythe truly that powerful? Even now?]

[Yes. He’s slain numerous angels already—don’t you think it’s time to have faith in his strength?]

[Still, Gabriel and Raphael are on a different level. If Black Scythe isn’t careful, he could be killed.]

Luvaiah smiled faintly, a silent assurance.

[Believe in Black Scythe, Michael. The scenario you fear will never happen.]
