The 100th Regression of the Max-Level Player - Chapter 170 (Part 2)

Chapter 170: Bong Tae Wan (Part 2)

“Huff, huff.”

He was breathing heavily after moving non-stop.

He didn’t even know how many minutes had passed.

Ju Seong-tak’s mind was filled with only one thought: to hit the bastard.

But.

Swish- Swish-

‘That damn bastard! Not getting caught even once…!’

No matter how he swung his arms, kicked, faked, and tried everything, the guy dodged like a ghost.

He had long abandoned the heavy dagger.

If he could touch that guy just once with his bare hands, it would be his victory.

Then, the system would make the guy his slave.

‘Once he becomes my slave, I’ll make him beg for forgiveness and then kill him painfully.’

But things weren’t going as he thought.

“Why are you so slow? Move faster.”

“You damn bastard…!”

“Oh, you still have the energy to curse? If you have the strength to swear, save it and focus on hitting me. Tsk tsk.”

“You son of a…!”

Ryu Min deliberately taunted him to drain his stamina further.

Even though their stat difference was enormous, Ryu Min was still in danger whenever Ju Seong-tak used the Curse of Fear.

‘If I get hit by it, I won’t be able to move for 3.4 seconds.’

Due to the penalty of not being able to wear equipment, his resistance was very low.

With a base resistance of 15% and an additional 20% from the tower, the total effective resistance was only 32%.

‘So, there’s a 68% chance I’ll be affected by the Curse of Fear, and if it happens, I’ll be unable to move for 3.4 seconds.’

In a duel where a single mistake could mean defeat, not being able to move for 3.4 seconds was fatal.

Therefore, whenever Ju Seong-tak attempted to cast the curse, Ryu Min would keep his distance.

‘It’s about time to end this.’

Tap tap tap tap-

Avoiding Ju Seong-tak’s punches, Ryu Min increased his touch count.

Head, back, shoulders, arms.

As he dodged, he touched Ju Seong-tak’s body mockingly.

“Why isn’t it hitting? Why!”

The guy was frantic, but Ryu Min’s touch count was almost complete, reaching 99.

“One more touch and I win.”

“Damn it!”

Just then.

Boom boom boom boom boom boom!

There was a loud banging on the front door, followed by voices from outside.

It was the gangsters from the floor below.

“Hey, you disabled bastard! Come out! Because of you, I can’t take a nap, damn it!”

They had come up, unable to tolerate the noise anymore.

“Come out! Why aren’t you coming out? What the hell are you doing, making all that noise, you legless cripple! Come ouuuut! I don’t care if you’re a player, I’ll kill you!”

Despite the gangster’s shouting, Ju Seong-tak smiled.

Their presence was a glimmer of hope in his dire situation.

Whoosh!

Ju Seong-tak quickly dashed to the front door to open it.

Ryu Min, having anticipated his move, followed swiftly, but as soon as Ju Seong-tak looked at him.

[You are now under the status effect ‘Fear’.]

Unfortunately, Ju Seong-tak’s Curse of Fear hit him at that moment.

However, thanks to the distance he had kept, Ju Seong-tak couldn’t touch him immediately.

Click-

Ju Seong-tak opened the front door in the meantime.

“Finally opening the door, damn you. I told you to be quiet… guh!”

A swiftly swung dagger pierced the throat of the gangster, Kim Jong-seon, and then was pulled out.

Thud-

Securing the corpse in an instant, Ju Seong-tak stepped into the hallway.

Now, he and Ryu Min were facing each other with the corpse between them.

“Heh heh, come here, bastard. The moment you get close, I’ll explode this corpse.”

“This is annoying. But you know what?”

Crackle crackle-

Electric currents flowed through Ryu Min’s body.

“Even if you explode the corpse, I can just dodge it.”

“Damn it! Didn’t you say you were not allowed to use skills because of the penalty!”

“This is a rune.”

With the Rune of Lightning, Ryu Min boosted his movement speed and closed the distance in an instant.

Panicked, Ju Seong-tak tried to utter the activation words.

“Corpse exp….”

Smack!

There was no time for that.

With a powerful punch, Ju Seong-tak’s face was crushed, and he was slammed into the wall, killed instantly.

[The duel has ended. The victor is ‘Black Scythe’.]

[The loser is now a slave who will serve ‘Black Scythe’ for life.]

Ignoring the messages, Ryu Min looked at Ju Seong-tak.

Though thought to be dead, his face was restored.

Since it wasn’t a life-or-death duel, he was revived.

Though still unconscious.

“Well, I won. Even though there were casualties.”

Although he had prevented the corpse explosion, he couldn’t stop the gangster’s death.

Putting aside his regret, Ryu Min erased the traces and disposed of the body.

Just then, his phone rang.

It was a call from Yamti.

“What’s the matter? What? My brother?”

Hearing that something had happened to his brother but was fortunately prevented, Ryu Min asked for the details.

“Really? You didn’t kill him yet?”

-Yes. What should we do, master?

Regarding Bong Tae Wan’s fate, Ryu Min gave a simple answer.

“I’ll send you the address, bring him here.”

He hung up and woke Ju Seong-tak immediately.

“Hey, Ju Seong-tak.”

“Ugh?”

As soon as he saw Ryu Min, the guy, who seemed like he would attack, bowed like a submissive lamb.

“I greet my master. Please give me your orders.”

“Alright. Here’s your first order.”

Ryu Min said with a cruel smile.

“In a little while, a guy named Bong Tae Wan will come here. Kill him.”
