The 100th Regression of the Max-Level Player - Chapter 175 (Part 1)
Chapter 175: Clairvoyance (Part 1)
Despite the start of the long-awaited 11th round, Christine was feeling down.
This round might very well be her last.
‘There’s nothing to worry about. I have the power of dominion.’
She had an absolute power called the power of dominion.
In case of emergency, she could use it to block anyone trying to ambush her.
But how do you think she, who wasn’t particularly strong, became the representative of the district?
The reason was the people who steadily gathered around her.
“You’ve arrived? Lord Berber.”
“Greetings, Lady Chrissy.”
“Hello, Lord Lupin.”
“Greetings, Lady Chrissy.”
Players approached and greeted her using their tracking skills.
They were comrades and party members who had been with her since the 2nd round.
They were also followers of the only priest job.
‘With them, I have nothing to fear.’
The rune Christine acquired to commemorate her priest advancement was the [Rune of Life].
Since it was a rune that gave experience points and stats the more she healed or saved lives, she had no choice but to help others, whether she liked it or not.
‘But thanks to that, so many people have gathered.’
By voluntarily helping people, she gained their trust.
Who would refuse free healing in this world?
It wasn’t like she was stealing monsters.
‘Although I used healing to gain experience points and stats, they don’t need to know that.’
No matter the hidden truth, people saw her as a Nightingale volunteering for free.
She became the district representative by emphasizing that she was the only healer.
‘Even the voters who were initially skeptical believed in me later. They even said they chose the right representative.’
Thanks to that, she maintained her position as the representative from the 2nd round until now and could lead many followers under the title of Saint.
They relied on each other and overcame many challenges.
‘I’ll solve this one too, no matter what obstacle comes.’
Soon, the number of people gathered around Christine reached about a hundred.
A reliable human shield surrounded Christine.
‘As long as they’re around, I don’t have to worry about ambushes.’
She felt relieved but couldn’t afford to relax.
Since she didn’t know who might ambush her, she kept a vigilant eye like a meerkat.
“Are you alright, Chrissy? You seem tense today.”
“I’m fine. Thanks for worrying, Douglas.”
“If anything happens, let me know. I, as the Saint’s right-hand man, will definitely protect you.”
“Phew, that’s reassuring.”
Christine smiled but didn’t neglect her surroundings.
She had even learned the presence detection skill, so even if someone approached while invisible, it wouldn’t be a problem.
As she thought of an assassin, she remembered Jeffrey from the other district.
‘Even if it was for me, threatening to kill the powerless prophet is disappointing…’
Since the districts had merged, she would meet him eventually, but she decided not to think about it.
Although she knew his nickname, she didn’t know his face due to customization.
She didn’t want to find him anyway.
‘Come to think of it, since the districts are merged, I can meet Prophet and Ma Kyung-rok too.’
She wasn’t close to Prophet, but could she trust her fiancé, Ma Kyung-rok?
At least he seemed better than Jeffrey.
He was a contender for the top 2, and 3 ranks in the previous district.
‘Maybe he is the prince on a white horse who will save me…’
She shouldn’t rely on it, but she was curious about who would save her.
[Now that the explanation is over, I will send you all to the fantasy world.]
Hearing the angel’s words, it seemed like it was about to start in earnest.
‘I must survive.’
She already knew the strategy for the 11th round from the prophet.
Survival was more important than attacking for now.
‘I’m confident. With these people…’
Christine smiled confidently.
Until the angel smirked and spoke.
[Oh, by the way, the starting location will be randomly assigned. Good luck.]
‘Huh? Random?’
Before she could react, a bright light flashed and disappeared.
As Christine blinked, a lush forest appeared instead of a meadow.
‘Where is this?’
She was curious about her location, but more than that, she was confused.
The people who were with her had all disappeared.
“Ah…”
Her mind went blank, making her earlier confidence meaningless, but she quickly regained her composure and used her surrounding detection skill.
‘Huh? There’s one person nearby.’
She saw a red dot close by and immediately headed in that direction.
Whether it was an enemy or an ally, she couldn’t do anything alone with her job.
“Huh? Lord Douglas?”
“Lady Chrissy!”
Luckily, the person nearby was the paladin she had just parted from.
“I was worried after everyone got separated, but to meet Lady Chrissy right away! This is fate!”
“Haha, it seems so.”
Christine smiled with relief.
‘What if it had been someone I didn’t know… it’s a relief.’
Since Douglas had been with her since the 2nd round, he could be trusted.
“Lord Berber is nearby too.”
“Oh, really?”
“He left to explore the surroundings for a moment. He’ll be back soon.”
Using the surrounding detection skill, she confirmed that there was indeed a movement.
Soon, Berber returned and brightened at the sight of Christine.
“Oh? Lady Chrissy, you’re here too?”
“Yes. Nice to see you, Lord Berber.”
“What a coincidence! With Lady Chrissy here, we don’t have to worry about dying now.”
“Haha, yes…”
They didn’t ask for permission to accompany her.
Douglas and Berber naturally stood beside Christine.
‘Well, it’s fine. I can’t manage alone anyway.’
With these two reliable people, she felt reassured.
Though it was less so than when she had a hundred people.
“Since we have plenty of time, let’s wait here for now. Other people might come looking for Lady Chrissy.”
“That’s true. Let’s wait here for a while. Those who got separated will probably use tracking to find Lady Chrissy.”
“Hmm, then let’s wait a bit?”
Christine preferred moving with a group rather than alone.
Efficiency aside, it was much safer.
However, she didn’t know.
At the moment she decided to wait, someone behind her was smiling slyly.
