The 100th Regression of the Max-Level Player - RMLP Chapter 72: New Record (Part 2)

[Celebrating Your Grade Boost: Seal of Death Gets an Upgrade!]

[Additional Damage for the Seal of Death Skill: Increased from 120% to 140%!]

[Grade Advancement Celebration: The Night of Death Skill Gets an Upgrade!]

[Extended Range for the Night of Death Skill: Expanding from 500m to 1,000m!]

[New Skill: You’ve Unlocked the Unique Skill ‘Moonlight Slaughter’ for Reapers!]

[Next Skill: Automatically Learnable at Level 60.]

The existing skills have received a power boost, and he picked up some new tricks along the way.

This new skill is a game-changer for Reapers, serving as their sole offensive maneuver.

[Exclusive Skill – Moonlight Slaughter]

– Effect: Gather energy for one second, then unleash a devastating 1,200% area-of-effect damage in a crescent-shaped pattern ahead.

– Damage Type: A hybrid mix of both physical and magical, amplified by 1.5 times when used under the cover of night.

– Cooldown: Requires a 10-minute cool-down, and can only be employed while wielding a scythe.

‘I’ve finally learned it – the exclusive offensive skill for Reapers.’

Regrettably, Reaper-class characters are limited to just one offensive skill. The rest of their arsenal consists of buffs and debuffs.

‘Could this be the Achilles’ heel of the Reaper class?’

When you only have one attack skill, it’s only natural to use it cautiously. After all, if it misses, the risk is incalculable.

‘There’s nothing more frustrating than a missed coup de grâce.’

But all these considerations hinge on the assumption that the attack will miss.

If you’re confident in landing your shots, the risk is null and void.

‘Piercing someone’s eye with a scythe can’t be much harder than this.’

Moonlight Slaughter happens to be one of those skills that are relatively easy to land. With its wide crescent-shaped radius, there’s practically no room for it to miss.

Even if it did somehow miss, you’d have little room to complain.

‘Plus, there’s no skill more potent than this one.’

With its 1,200% area damage, the figure jumps to a staggering 1,800% when deployed at night.

Though it demands a simultaneous boost in both strength and intelligence due to its combined physical and magical attributes, the payoff is worth the investment.

‘Besides, if your opponent is immune to physical attacks, you can still hold your ground with this skill.’

Currently, only low-level monsters are making appearances. But, sooner or later, more formidable adversaries will emerge.

‘Those creatures are truly indomitable. The seven Archangels who reign supreme in the heavens.’

The seven Archangels are beings even I cannot contend with.

While I’ve only encountered them once briefly, their power is beyond comprehension.

‘Of course, no quests have ever instructed me to kill them, but…’

Given the opportunity, Ryu Min has a burning desire to try and eliminate at least one of these Archangels.

Judging by the fact that regular angels drop items when defeated, Ryu Min has a hunch that there will be rewards.

‘Well, that’s a challenge for when I’ve reached max level.’

For now, it’s all about growth.

Ryu Min cast a final glance at the message that had come to his mind.

It’s time to check the rewards for the Time Attack.

[You’ve defeated the 5th Round Boss ‘High Orc’ in a mere 1 second!]

[This boss is subject to the Time Attack rule.]

[Additional gold will be awarded based on your record.]

[Since you defeated it in under 10 seconds, you will receive the maximum reward of 100,000 gold. Congratulations!]

In a single swoop, he amassed a staggering 100,000 gold.

‘Last time, it took me 43 seconds to bring it down and got 23,255 gold. This is truly something.’

When he combines it with what he has saved up so far, the gold starts piling up.

‘With this, I should be able to learn all the common skills I’ve yet to learn.’

Satisfied, Ryu Min was about to shift his gaze elsewhere when he paused.

Upon closer inspection, he noticed there were more messages that had appeared.

[You’ve set an unprecedented record in Time Attack history!]

[Your achievement will be recorded in the Akashic Records.]

[As a reward, you will receive a ‘Unique Item Selection Voucher’!]

‘What’s this all about?’

This one-second victory marked Ryu Min’s first Akashic record.

Naturally, he hadn’t anticipated any extra rewards.

Upon checking his inventory, he indeed found a ‘Unique Item Selection Voucher.’

‘You mean I can choose a unique item? Can it be anything?’

Without hesitation, he pressed the button to use it.

[You’re about to choose one unique item.]

[First, please select the item category.]

└ 1. Weapons

└ 2. Shields

└ 3. Helmets

…

└ 8. Rings

They even gave him the option to pick any type of item.

‘Unique items, I need to think of something that I need right now…’

Ryu Min paused briefly, his hand gently brushing his chin as he contemplated his decision.

‘As for unique weapons, I’ll craft them after returning, so they’re not necessary. What about…’

At this moment, he needed utility more than immediate power.

He pondered which abilities might be useful in the current situation.

‘Ah! That could be great.’

Ryu Min’s finger landed on option 3.

***

Eom Jun-seok gazed at one spot with widened eyes.

Dilated pupils.

Damp trousers.

Did he cross the threshold of death and return?

But, more than anything, he couldn’t fathom the current situation.

“This can’t be real. That monster, taken down in a single blow…”

The High Orc, who had crushed his comrades with one mighty punch, now lay at his feet in a bizarre twist of fate.

The result of a single swing from a scythe, wielded by the enigmatic Black Scythe.

‘Was Black Scythe… this strong?’

Eom Jun-seok found himself utterly bewildered.

At level 30, Black Scythe had managed to defeat a monster that not even five level 20 players could take on?

Of course, Ryu Min wasn’t level 30 anymore; he was level 40.

Moreover, he was currently boosted by Min Juri’s buffs.

Slicing through the High Orc’s throat in one swift motion wasn’t an entirely impossible feat.

Especially when targeting a weak point like the throat.

And, unintentionally, Ryu Min had managed to capture Eom Jun-Seok ‘s attention.

Of course, he had no inkling of these details.

Eom Jun-Seok simply gazed at the Black Scythe with a mixture of awe and admiration.

At that precise moment, just as Eom Jun-seok was about to utter something…

“Ah…”

The Black Scythe swiftly vanished from sight.

And Eom Jun-seok’s expression shifted to one of regret.

He hadn’t even managed to utter a word of gratitude.

***

Finally, as the time limit elapsed, the players congregated in one location.

And, as if awaiting their arrival, an angelic figure materialized.

[“How did it go? Did you complete the quest?”]

“…”

[“It seems the number of participants has dwindled within the span of ten hours. Surely, you didn’t fall to those lowly orcs… Did you engage in skirmishes over prey?”]

It was a blatant taunt, but the players chose to remain silent.

They weren’t in a position to respond, and their energy was depleted.

[“Now, shall we see what results have been achieved?”]

Priscilla’s wings fluttered, and the results screen materialized.

Simultaneously, expressions of astonishment danced across the players’ faces.
