The 100th Regression of the Max-Level Player - Chapter 129 (Part 1)

Chapter 129: Advice (Part 1)

Gulp-

In the tense situation, Gu Yeon-seung gulped down his saliva.

‘Damn, what’s this situation?’

They killed numerous actors without any issues until now.

Using Hong Sun-ah as bait was as easy as eating candy, and it was even easier to steal their items and kill them.

Thanks to the trace erasing, evidence could be neatly concealed.

If they just coordinated their stories, escaping police investigation would not be a difficult task.

Thus, he had grown his value and gathered items by preying on his fellow celebrity players.

Gu Yeon-seung was proud of his high criminal intelligence, skilled enough to boast about setting traps and covering his tracks.

He was someone who made no mistakes.

But then,

‘Where did it all go wrong, exactly!’

He had never faced such a crisis during his spree of killing 32 actors.

But now he’s facing Black Scythe?

The monster who had topped the rankings in every zone throughout the 8 rounds and had just reached level 80 is suddenly in front of him?

For Gu Yeon-seung, it was inconceivable.

It was like throwing bait to catch a fish, only to hook a shark instead.

‘Is it really Black Scythe? Just because he carries a scythe doesn’t mean he’s the Black Scythe, right?’

Doubt crossed his mind, but it was fleeting.

Seeing the cleanly severed heads of two actors, Gu Yeon-seung thought that the man in front of him might really be Black Scythe.

‘I didn’t even see him swing. I didn’t hear the sound of a neck being cut.’

This meant that the attacker’s agility stats were high enough to make his attack invisible and his damage was way superior.

A single swing was enough to feel the gap between them.

‘It’s like heaven and earth. The level is just incomprehensible.’

Realizing the extent of his opponent’s skills, Gu Yeon-seung’s brain began to work rapidly.

Thud-

He immediately knelt down and began his act of begging for his life.

“Please, spare me. I didn’t do anything!”

Gu Yeon-seung pointed his fingers at the other actors.

“It was all them! They made me do it!”

Caught off guard by this sudden betrayal, Hong Sun-ah and the other four male actors were dumbfounded.

“What are you talking about, Gu Senior?”

“Why are you blaming us!”

“It was all because you told us to do it!”

“Black Scythe! Don’t believe this dirty bastard! We were just following orders, but this bastard is the real mastermind!”

Enraged by their words, Gu Yeon-seung abruptly stood up.

“What? What did you just say? Bastards? Is that how you speak to your senior, you little shit?”

The juniors glared back, unwilling to back down.

“So, what about you? Selling out your juniors to save your own skin, is that what a senior does? You f*cking bastard?”

“What? You’re really asking for death!”

Gu Yeon-seung raised his wand as if he were about to cast a spell.

The other juniors also prepared to retaliate by wielding their weapons.

The actors exchanged glares as if they were about to kill each other.

It was an utter mess.

However, this was exactly what Gu Yeon-seung had intended.

‘Good! This will make it look like a real internal conflict.’

This would make any onlookers let their guard down.

Glancing over, he saw the Black Scythe shaking his head at their petty squabbles as if it was pathetic.

‘Now!’

Gu Yeon-seung raised his wand as if to attack a junior.

“F*cking hell, you bastards really want to die?”

Then, he suddenly changed direction, aiming a skill at Black Scythe’s face.

“Black Arrow!”

Normally, he would restrain his enemies with black chains before shooting a black arrow.

But this was a surprise attack, leaving no time for binding.

“Even Black Scythe can’t survive a headshot!”

The magic-infused black arrow hit its target.

Thwack-!

“Got it! It hit him right in……!”

Gu Yeon-seung’s face froze in a moment of triumph.

The arrow he thought had hit had missed its target by a hair’s breadth, striking the wall instead.

“To dodge it in that split second?”

It was an insane reflex.

The actors, witnessing this, could only widen their eyes in disbelief.

Ryu Min smirked from behind his mask.

“Put away your pathetic act. Did you think pretending to fight each other would make me let my guard down?”

Embarrassment flashed across Gu Yeon-seung’s face.

The juniors widened their eyes.

They truly believed Gu Yeon-seung was betraying them.

“Didn’t I warn you not to have any funny ideas?”

“Yo, you f*cking bastard!”

Gu Yeon-seung blatantly aimed his wand.

With things as they were, there was no turning back.

Ssshhhh-

The black chains intended to bind Black Scythe were his chance to escape.

But Ryu Min, who could read thoughts and see 7 seconds into the future, wouldn’t just stand there and take it.

Swoosh-

Ryu Min, like a ghost, moved behind Gu Yeon-seung, already out of the chains’ reach.

“It was a good idea, but…”

As he swung his scythe, Gu Yeon-seung’s wand was cut off along with his forearm.

“Aaaargh!”

“…You picked the wrong opponent.”

To a mage, a wand is as crucial as a gun’s trigger.

Now, even if he tried to use the black arrow, he wouldn’t be able to aim properly.

“Sh, shit, kill him!”

Feeling the crisis, the male actors charged at the Black Scythe.

But they were no match for Ryu Min.

Thudthudthudthud-

With a single strike, the heads of four actors floated in the air, and their bodies dropped like cut strings.

Thump-

Overwhelmed by his power, Gu Yeon-seung collapsed to the ground.

Already crippled, he couldn’t even dream of resisting.

“……”

Ryu Min calmly surveyed the scene.

Gu Yeon-seung was shivering with his arms trembling and the shocked eyes of Seo Arin were visible behind him.

One was missing, but it was no problem.

He had already sensed her through his ability to detect presence.

Plop-!

“Aaah!”

As he struck the air behind him with his scythe, a sharp scream erupted.

Hong Sun-ah, trembling with her legs, appeared as the invisibility skill wore off.

Her thighs were pierced by Ryu Min’s scythe like a fork.

Ssshhhk-!

With a forceful tug, blood spattered as both thighs were cleanly severed.

Thud-!

“KKrrraahhhhhh……”

Hong Sun-ah’s eyes rolled back as she convulsed like a bug.

Gu Yeon-seung couldn’t bear to look at her suffering.
