The 100th Regression of the Max-Level Player - Chapter 112 (Part 2)
Chapter 112: Hunting Down The Traitors (Part 2)
———
It took Min Juri about 20 minutes to finally buff every player.
‘When you see them crying for buffs like that, it really confirms that Bless is nothing short of a game-changer, right?’
Min Juri had been running around, providing buffs to around 230 players.
What’s more, she’d even thrown in Swift, but with a duration of only thirty minutes, she had to keep reapplying it.
“Phew, I’m unexpectedly busy. Haha.”
Min Juri hadn’t expected to be in such high demand.
“Later, everyone will talk about it even those who didn’t receive buffs before. That’s how widespread it will become.”
As for those players who discovered Buffs, they’d call for one whenever their buffs wore off.
Although it might have seemed a bit inconvenient, it was a profitable venture for Min Juri.
“In fact, it’s a significant gain. When players she buffed take down monsters, it contributes to her too.”
Imagine taking just 1% of the contribution from 230 people.
Even if you were just relaxing, you could still cover your contribution.
That’s why Ryu Min wasn’t concerned about Min Juri dropping out of the round.
He wasn’t worried about Seo Arin either.
She was providing shield buffs to her allies using her summoned creatures, and she was even tanking, contributing effectively.
“Huff, Huff.”
After thwarting the seventh assault and witnessing the players’ fatigue, Dwarf Hymer pounded his chest and shouted,
“Are we all done? Let’s move, warriors of the other realm!”
“Hey, Old Man Dwarf! We could use a bit of a break!”
“Is there time for that? If we don’t move immediately, monsters will attack. If you want to rest, do it on the move.”
With that, players, irritated by Dwarf’s urging, rose to their feet.
There was hardly any time to sit down.
‘He looks like he didn’t notice it, but some of them really want to kill him.’
Even though they were the guardian party, it was hard not to be frustrated with the relentless pace.
If that’s how they’re thinking, what do you think the traitors are thinking right now?
Well, the difficulty itself wasn’t too high, but there was no time to catch your breath.
It was like a non-stop march day and night.
For someone like Ryu Min, who kept hunting, it was all fine.
‘My level is already at 59.’
Just one more level, and he’d finally attain Master rank.
Then, Master-grade normal equipment would appear in the store, and he could enhance all the unique materials he had bought in advance.
“‘What’s more, I’ll gain new skills and abilities.’
Both of which were highly efficient, making him eagerly anticipate leveling up.
‘But when will someone step into action?’
Ryu Min wasn’t referring to the traitor group.
Someone from the regular group was bound to take the lead, as long as they had a bit of wit.
And it finally happened.
“Guys! Instead of persistently hunting, shouldn’t we prioritize finding the traitors? At this rate, we might all fall before we uncover their identities!”
In response to that call, heads nodded in agreement among the gathered individuals.
“That’s right, simply hunting monsters won’t cut it.”
“I agree. We need to root out those traitors.”
“But how do we go about finding them?”
“I have a suggestion!”
The person who had initially proposed the idea continued speaking.
“We know that the traitors aren’t part of any parties, right? So, when we attack them, they should take damage, correct? Let’s test it by attacking each other to confirm. What do you think?”
“That sounds reasonable.”
“Then it should make finding them much easier.”
“Let’s give it a try!”
The players readily embraced this straightforward method to identify the traitors.
Meanwhile, the traitors maintained their silence, unaware that their time was running out, their thoughts undoubtedly in turmoil.
“Could those who aren’t speaking right now be the traitors?”
“Heh, heh, it certainly seems that way, doesn’t it?”
“They must be getting nervous. Soon, their true identities will be exposed.”
As the regular group shared a laugh, the traitors found themselves in a precarious situation.
-What should we do? We might get discovered like this.
-We need to eliminate the dwarves as soon as possible.
Ryu Min, who had been eavesdropping on the traitors’ thoughts, happened to lock eyes with them.
-“Black Scythe, it’s time to take action.”
-“Let’s target the dwarves together. This is our only chance.”
He conveyed his intentions through their gaze, but Ryu Min deliberately ignored them.
“Stupid bastards. Are they basically advertising themselves as traitors?”
The unfolding events were expected, albeit with some delay.
“Those of you with area-of-effect skills now is the time to use them on your fellow players.”
“Understood!”
“Then let’s begin! Attack the person beside you!”
Players unexpectedly started stabbing one another.
Ting, ting!
The clear sound of metal clashing echoed throughout the area.
“Wow, our attacks aren’t doing any damage!”
“It’s like hitting a lump of iron.”
“You are definitely in our party!”
However, it wasn’t just the sound of metal that filled the air.
Thunk!
“Ahh!”
“What’s happening? This person got stabbed!”
“He’s a traitor! That guy’s a traitor!”
Some of the traitors, hidden among the players, couldn’t evade the attacks and were exposed.
“Get them! Kill these traitors!”
Puh, puh, puh!
“Cough!”
One of the traitors became a target, enduring attacks from all directions.
Just one person couldn’t evade the onslaught from every direction.
Moreover, these were players who had committed murder in the fourth round.
They had no qualms about attacking others.
“Alright! We’ve identified one traitor here!”
“Here too!”
“We found a traitor here too!”
Traitors were being exposed from various places, leaving the remaining traitors in dismay.
“Damn it! You bastards!”
A few traitors retaliated, attacking players before their own identities could be revealed.
“Cough! This guy suddenly stabbed me.”
“He’s a damn traitor! Get him!”
The traitors attempted to escape the players’ clutches, with their only hope being to kill the dwarves and complete the quest.
“Okay, let’s kill Hymer. Kill Hymer!”
With determined gazes, the traitors rushed toward Dwarf Hymer, who was driving the carriage.
Hymer shouted toward the players, unaware of the situation.
“Hold on! Warriors of the other realm! What’s happening all of a sudden?”
The spectacle of warriors pointing their swords at each other was nothing short of bewildering.
But then, belatedly, he turned his head to a surprising scene.
“Die you pig!”
“A Traitor!”
“Oh no!”
Just as the traitor’s blade was about to reach the dwarf.
Cheng!
Ryu Min intervened, stopping the traitors, in the form of LostYak.
