The 100th Regression of the Max-Level Player - RMLP Chapter 297: Untraceable (Part 2)

When outnumbered by monsters, you’d either die or be exhausted.

Of course, this didn’t apply to Ryu Min.

THUD— THUD—!

Even before a massive monster showing off its presence could get close, Ryu Min’s scythe cut it in two, trees and all.

[You have slain a Twin-Headed Ogre!]

[EXP increased by 1.5x due to Title Effect.]

[EXP and Gold doubled due to Rune of Devouring.]

[You gained 12 stacks and 2 stat points from the Rune of Devouring.]

[Cumulative Devouring Stacks: 286]

[This player can no longer gain EXP.]

[EXP displayed due to Rune of Growth.]

[EXP +75,000]

[Gold +50,000]

[Bonus Gold +25,000]

[Earned EXP exceeds 100,000.]

[EXP converted to 1 Stat Point.]

[Current Kill Count: 3/100]

[All stats increased by 3% due to Rune of Slaughter.]

He was already max level, so he couldn’t level up anymore, but the incoming EXP could be converted to stat points.

All thanks to the Rune of Growth, a reward for reaching max level first.

‘On top of that, the “Forerunner” title boosts EXP by 1.5x, and the Rune of Devouring doubles it again…’

With just a few monster kills, he could accumulate massive stat points.

‘This is essentially the last round I can farm stats. I need to gather as much as I can while I still can.’

Even though he had slain an archangel, he couldn’t assume the boss of Round 20 would be weak.

Especially since he might have to fight Artaros again—he needed to prepare.

Swish—! Swish—!

Ryu Min roamed and massacred monsters.

Even a graze of his scythe was a fatal blow, so killing was easy.

And there was no need to worry about his stamina.

Strength stat was linked to stamina.

‘With strength in the tens of millions, I can hunt nonstop for days without issue.’

That didn’t mean other players should waste their energy hunting like Ryu Min.

He could afford it, but others would get exhausted after a few monster kills.

And besides, once this round ended, everyone would hit max level from the quest rewards anyway.

So they only needed to deal with monsters that came their way.

‘That won’t be easy for non-combat players, though.’

Especially supporters with lower stats.

‘They already have low stats, and now they have to run day and night to avoid players. They’re bound to be exhausted. And on top of that, monsters will keep spawning.’

He worried about the weaker supporters, especially Kristine, who had no combat ability at all.

She wouldn’t be able to kill a single monster, and she’d also be an easy target.

‘Still, nothing too serious should happen. I’ve sent slaves to guard her.’

He had dispatched some of his slave followers to protect key members.

Told them to regroup and defend them.

‘Though I can’t fully relax either.’

For now, he would clear all the monsters in the area and then go check on his companions.

To confirm whether the slaves were doing their jobs.

***

Without any prior information, all the players were shocked when they encountered the 19th round quest.

That was no different for Min Juri.

‘Survive for 72 hours… and alone at that?’

Worry came first, but it wasn’t as if she could just refuse.

While she was thinking about what to do next, she looked up at the quest progress window.

Just like the angel said, nickname, face, and distance were clearly visible.

‘Should I try to find Black Scythe?’

That was her first instinctive thought.

But at some point, he had become untraceable.

‘Weird? Why can’t I track him?’

As she was puzzled—

‘Huh?’

She noticed that the distance from one of the players listed was getting smaller.

‘What the—? Don’t tell me they’re heading in my direction?’

In a round where players might have to kill each other, someone approaching first?

Of course she couldn’t help but be on alert.

‘I need to create some distance.’

Without hesitation, Min Juri began to move.

But the place she had landed in was a forest.

She didn’t know which direction would be safe.

And what if she ran into a monster?

Activating her detection skill, she saw several red dots pop up.

‘The players are far from here. Which means…’

The red dots all indicated monsters.

It looked like she had dropped into a dangerous location.

Rustle—

Determined to get out of the forest, she hurried her steps.

As Min Juri moved, the distance from the player that had been following her began to increase.

‘Where should I go? I can’t even try to find Black Scythe-nim…’

The forest was so vast she had no idea which way to go to escape it.

‘For now, I just need to keep avoiding people.’

She kept her detection skill active and moved in the direction with the fewest monsters.

Whenever the distance narrowed between her and any red dots, she quickly hid behind a tree and waited for the monster to pass.

‘What kind of monster is that? I’ve never seen one like it.’

A monster shaped like a long, tall tree was trudging slowly past.

It was a Dark Ancient Tree, a fairly powerful type of monster, but Min Juri had no way of knowing that.

And she had no confidence that she could defeat it even if she had known.

‘It’s gone… I need to run—’

Just then, Min Juri felt a chill down her spine.

Someone was approaching from behind.

She sensed the presence through her Aura Detection skill.
