The 100th Regression of the Max-Level Player - Chapter 113 (Part 1)

Chapter 113: Level 60 (Part 1)

——

As the players squared off, their swords glinting ominously, Ryu Min moved with the precision of someone who had been waiting for this very moment.

He gracefully sidestepped, as though he had foreseen this encounter, and then after using invisibility, he transformed into the image of Lostyak.

“It’s time to make my move,” Ryu Min thought to himself, “If I save the dwarf in the form of Black Scythe, the traitors will know that I’ve betrayed them.”

Remaining hidden, Ryu Min observed the unfolding situation with keen anticipation, knowing the traitors would likely strike when the dwarves were most vulnerable.

‘They’ll grow impatient when the search operation begins. That’s when they’ll try to eliminate the dwarves first to save the mission.’

The smaller number of dwarves would make it relatively easy to find them.

Having experienced similar situations in the past, Ryu Min was well-prepared for this operation.

‘They usually conduct extractions around the 4th to 6th wave, but this time they seem a bit delayed.’.

However, Ryu Min wasn’t bothered by this variation; he could patiently wait while remaining invisible.

‘They’re finally making their move,’ Ryu Min observed as the traitors began to act.

With prior knowledge of the traitors’ faces and the ability to read their intentions, Ryu Min easily discerned their objectives.

‘They’re targeting Heimer, the dwarves’ leader.’ Ryu Min realized.

Four traitors were closing in on Heimer. Ryu Min readied his weapon, a specially prepared sword.

Of course, he didn’t use the scythe, as it might reveal his true identity.

Although the sword wasn’t his primary weapon, Ryu Min’s skill level was more than sufficient to handle these four individuals.

‘These guys are all under level 30. They’re no match.’

As the traitors advanced, Ryu Min remained invisible, waiting by Heimer’s side. He knew he had to choose the perfect moment to maximize Heimer’s favor toward him.

The traitors charged toward Heimer, who exclaimed, “Warriors from the other realm! What’s happening all of a sudden?”

Unaware of the impending danger, Heimer continued shouting energetically.

It was only when it was too late that he noticed the blades aimed at him.

Then, with a swift motion, Ryu Min parried the blades and dispelled his invisibility. “Are you alright?” he asked, feigning concern.

“Uh, um. Who are you?” Heimer responded, startled.

“Stay behind me. These guys are after you, Heimer,” Ryu Min said.

He quickly assessed the situation: two traitors in front and two behind.

With an air of confidence, the traitors growled at Ryu Min. “Who’s this bastard? Where did he come from?”

“Don’t interfere and get lost if you don’t want to die,” another one warned.

If they knew he was Black Scythe, these young pups would have retreated long ago. However, now they were snarling at him.

“Should I finish them quickly? No, it’s not time yet. I have to stage it for maximum favor with Heimer,” Ryu Min thought to himself.

The traitors, still targeting Heimer, rushed forward simultaneously.

Ryu Min deftly parried their attacks and, with a quick movement, plunged his sword into the chest of one of them.

“Ugh!” The traitor groaned.

“I warned you,” Ryu Min remarked as he drew his specially prepared sword and sliced through the second traitor’s shoulder, causing him to cry out in pain.

In an instant, the other two traitors were taken aback. However, what surprised them even more was the sudden appearance of their own lifeless bodies on the ground, their heads severed from their necks.

Ryu Min had swiftly executed them.

“You brought this upon yourselves,” Ryu Min said to the lifeless bodies.

No response came from the already dead traitors.

The nearby players who had witnessed Ryu Min’s skills were amazed.

“Wow, who is that guy?”

“He’s incredibly skilled, isn’t he?”

Since Ryu Min’s face was that of Lostyak, no one suspected the Black Scythe. Moreover, he was wearing different armor and using a different weapon.

“Amazing, isn’t it? He rescued the dwarves.”

“Why didn’t we notice such a skilled player before?”

“Hey, did you hear that?”

The shift from confusion to acceptance among the crowd didn’t take long. With over 200 people present, encountering unfamiliar faces wasn’t surprising.

Amidst this, the Dwarf, Heimer, was still trying to steady his racing heart, clearly taken aback by the sudden turn of events. He hadn’t expected an attack from his own escorts.

“What’s happening here?” he stuttered.

“We have a traitor among our team,” Ryu Min calmly explained.

“A traitor?”

“We were attacking each other earlier to identify the traitor.”

Understanding finally dawned on Heimer, and he nodded, wiping his beard.

“To think there was a traitor among the warriors from the other realm. We narrowly avoided a disaster,” he remarked.

“Heimer! We need to report this to the temple immediately!”

“Yes! The ones we were supposed to protect have turned into our enemies!”

“With things like this, we may never reach our destination…”

“S-silence!”
