The 100th Regression of the Max-Level Player - Chapter 87 (Part 1)
Chapter 87: Moonlight Slaughter (Part 1)

“Capturing the boss alone.”
What kind of nonsense is this, forgetting about your own capabilities?
“You’re saying you’re going to capture the boss by yourself, not even your own team?”
No matter how high the level of the Black Scythe is, the opponent is the boss.
And it’s a boss that takes at least 20 people to barely defeat.
“If the Black Blade really manages to capture the boss…?”
It’s the same as saying their skills are on par with 20 players.
From their perspective, who take pride in their skills, this was unacceptable.
“Hah, I see now that you’re quite boastful, Black Scythe.”
“Boastful?”
Ryu Min’s gaze turned cold.
“You’re underestimating me too much. Do you guys think I can’t capture it?”
“Well, but we have more people, right?”
“Even if you are many; flies are still flies.”
“What? That’s a bit…”
Ignoring Ryu Min’s comment, he walked forward.
The team members were also surprised by the declaration that he would capture the boss alone.
“Black Scythe?”
“Wait. I’ll finish it soon.”
Carrying the Death Scythe, people made way for him like the Red Sea.
The atmosphere was unusual.
“Stay further away. Anyone who interferes will die.”
“Ah, okay!”
Watching the players who stayed far away, Ryu Min looked around.
There were pillars of light scattered around, which seemed to have trapped a nearby Minotaur.
‘Hmm, so they will be watching inside the pillars?’
It would be good to hide the ultimate skill if possible…
‘But maybe this is a chance to truly showcase my strength.’
Most people don’t know how strong the Black Scythe really was.
They just assumed that since his level is higher, he’s just a little bit stronger, and they’ll catch up eventually.
‘They felt it when they saw me fight before, but they don’t truly understand yet.’
But what if they saw him quickly defeat the Minotaur that they needed 20 people to have a chance against?
No fly would dare to underestimate the Black Scythe.
‘Let’s finish it as quickly as possible.’
As Ryu Min stepped forward, most people wore expressions of disbelief.
“Is he really going to do it alone?”
“Oh, the Black Scythe alone?”
“It was getting boring, but this should be interesting.”
Some even put their fists in the air from inside the pillars, saying it would be fun.
All eyes were focused on the situation in the middle.
Ryu Min, who had stopped a certain distance ahead, faced the Minotaur.
The giant bull monster sensed his presence and turned to look.
“Grrrrr.”
It snorted with a menacing glint in its eyes, but Ryu Min’s momentum did not waver.
He simply held his scythe with both hands and extended it behind him.
“What’s he doing?”
“Is he going to use a skill in that posture?”
“He’s going to use a skill like that?”
Despite the murmurs around him, Ryu Min continued to gaze at the Minotaur without faltering.
“The system measures the record when the attack reaches a certain range.”
In other words, right now, it’s just considered a preparatory movement, and time measurement isn’t taking place.
“When he enters my range, I’ll aim for his throat.”
Ryu Min’s gaze narrowed as he gauged the distance from the Minotaur.
He subtly adjusted the angle of his scythe.
In his mind, he quickly drew a simple simulation.
‘Be patient.’
“Kwaaaaah!”
The Minotaur, which dared to charge at him despite seeing him, showed signs of panic.
Thud, thud, thud!
Calculating the distance to the range, Ryu Min timed it.
“3 seconds.”
Thud, thud!
“2 seconds.”
Thud, thud!
Kiiiiiiing-
Moonlight energy gathered around Ryu Min’s scythe.
“1 second.”
Thud, thud!
Thud, thud!
Kiiiiiiing-
Ryu Min’s scythe drew a crescent moon.
‘Night of Death.’
In the pitch-black darkness that suddenly descended.
As the front turned pitch black, the Minotaur was momentarily confused.
‘Now!’
‘Moonlight Slaughter.’
Ryu Min’s scythe traced a half-moon.
A single arc of light in the profound darkness illuminated the Minotaur’s face brightly.
Szzzzzz-
With a clean sound of something being cut…
Thud!
The sound of something falling could be heard.
The situation became clear as soon as the curtain was lifted.
“Wow!”
“Look at that!”
“Isn’t that the Minotaur’s head?!”
That thick neck that would be difficult to cut even with twenty swords was cleanly severed in one stroke.
The players wore expressions of disbelief, their gazes alternating between Ryu Min and the fallen boss.
“He defeated it in a single strike…?”
“This can’t be real…”
“It doesn’t add up… What are his stats now?”
Currently, Ryu Min’s stats stand at 403 in strength and 627 in intelligence. These impressive figures resulted from a combination of Min Juri’s buffs, the Rune of Slaughter, and the Rune of Balance.
‘With stats like these, taking down a boss in a single hit is entirely feasible.’
Furthermore, he had activated Death’s Night during this crucial moment, amplifying the damage from Moonlight Slaughter by 1.5 times.
“The High Orc was one-shotted, and this Minotaur is weaker than him.”
Despite being the boss for Round 6, the Minotaur was weaker than even the High Orc.
‘The subquest difficulty in the last round was insane.’
However, the reward in the form of the Rune of Balance made up for it.
“[You have defeated the Minotaur!]”
“[Experience points are boosted by 3 times.]”
“[Experience points increase by 1.5 times due to the title effect.]”
“[Experience points +11.68%]”
“[Gold +1,200]”
“[Acquired ‘Bull Leather.’]”
“[Acquired ‘Blueprint: Minotaur Armor.’]”
Since they were in a party, similar messages would have appeared for the teammates. The experience points and gold might not seem substantial, but that was due to their large group.
‘But the items are mine.’
