The 100th Regression of the Max-Level Player -
Chapter 78: It's Me (2)
Of course, he was not confident of winning.
You can tell without even looking at it.
“I’m truly sorry for my rudeness earlier, Black Scythe.”
“You’re sorry? How would that help you check if I’m the Black Scythe?”
“There is no need to show your skills. The verification has already been completed.”
Poporing intervened, but Black Scythe’s anger did not go away.
“You just asked me and it was confirmed?”
“Ah… Well, I have a rune related to that…”
“Okay, but I can’t let this slide. if you block my attack, I’ll treat your rude behavior as if it has never happened. Then shall we begin?”
“Well, Black Scythe-nim. There’s no need for that I’m really sor….”
Before Soboru could apologize for his mistake, it happened.
Skkrrt!
With a chilling sound, Soboru’s head fell to the ground.

“Well, Black Scythe-nim. There’s no need for that I’m really sor….”
Before Soboru could apologize for his mistake, it happened.
Skkrrt!
With a chilling sound, Soboru’s head fell to the ground.
Thunk… roll…
When their colleague’s head rolled under their feet, the two were in shock.
‘What the hell is this guy doing!?’
Lostyak wanted to shout.
But if he did, he might end up like Soboru, so shut his eyes in pain.
Poporing felt the same way.
‘I, I didn’t even see him swing the scythe.’
A clear gap.
Even if they had learned the common skill “Enhanced Visual Perception,” it was too fast to follow.
“Black Scythe! What on earth are you doing?”
“What am I doing? I just proved with my skills that I’m the Black Scythe.”
“I told you there was no need to show your skills…”
“Sigh…”
With an expression as if he had a headache, the two of them grasped their necks.
They could be next.
One of the executives just died so easily.
And there was no resurrection here, as in the other world.
They were not members who could be just replaced, they were executives.
They can’t just find replacements.
‘Who are we going to replace him with?’
The moment they thought that a madman in a white mask appeared in their field of vision.
The Black Scythe was the perfect candidate for an executive position.
They had come here to recruit him in the first place.
But…
‘How can accept a lunatic who kills his comrades as an executive?’
‘Chairman probably wouldn’t agree either. He cares more about the lives of his subordinates.’
It was too much of a risk to accept the Black Scythe as an ally.
Especially since he was a cold-blooded killer.
So the two didn’t have much trouble deciding.
‘It’s dangerous to accept the Black Scythe as a member. If we can’t accept him, we have to kill him right here.’
Even though it wasn’t easy, they couldn’t just let it go after killing a comrade.
It was the right thing to do even from the perspective of eliminating competitors.
But again it won’t be easy. He’s level 40 after all.
‘First, pretend to surrender, that will make him lower his guard. Then we ambush him. That’s the only way.’
As the two exchanged glances and tacitly agreed to kill him, Ryu Min spoke up.
“Hahah.”
A small laugh leaked out from Ryu Min’s mask.
“Do you really think I wouldn’t suspect you when you openly showed your intention to kill me earlier?”
“Yes? W-What are you talking about?”
“I bet you were planning to act submissive and then ambush me, right? Isn’t that so?”
“…”
Unable to say anything when hit right on the mark, their inner thoughts were clearly read.
“Let me ask you something. Do you know why I used Hwang Yong-min’s name and address to apply?”
They didn’t.
“Because I wanted to lure out the executives.”
“Us?”
The executives looked at each other.
“W-What do you want from us?”
“It’s simple. I want you to die.”
“…”
If it had been someone else, they might have dismissed it as a joke, but the opponent was the Black Scythe. He was definitely not someone to joke with. He had already killed one of the executives as an example.
Above all, he had that crazy look in his eyes.
“What should we do? Let’s think… If we stay like this, we’re as good as dead.”
Poporing, usually the logical one, tried to calmly assess the situation. However, in such a panic situation, there was no way for his mind to work properly.
Especially in such urgent situations.
‘Let’s try to persuade him for now. Persuade him and buy some time.’
Although he had killed someone out of the blue, maybe they could still talk it out. That was their hope.
But just as Poporing was about to speak with that thought in mind…
“Huh?”
He unintentionally exclaimed.
That’s because Lostyak had also become a headless corpse.
Thud…
In an instant, two corpses were under his feet.
Blood quickly formed a puddle on the floor, and only three people remained in the corridor: trembling Hwang Yong-min, Poporing, and the Grim Reaper.
“Ah… He was trying to lure us in to kill us from the beginning.”
Fear filled Poporing’s eyes as he faced the harsh reality.
“Why… Do you have such a grudge against us…?”
“You’re asking me why?”
Skrk!
Ryu Min’s scythe touched Poporing’s neck.
“Because you falsely accused innocent people and killed them, didn’t you?”
“H-How did you…?”
“Did you think I wouldn’t know? You killed a lot of people during your job interview tests.”
“…Especially the executive interviews. You have to personally deal with innocent civilians, you guys raped and killed a lot of them.
“…They weren’t innocent civilians.”
Poporing said, seemingly unjustly accused.
“They made remarks that disregarded players and belittled them. They secretly envied our abilities. Such humans who hold double standards deserve to die.”
“And what about you?”
“…”
“While treating others strictly, you are lenient with yourself. Isn’t that a double standard?”
“What are you talking about? You don’t even know me.”
‘You think I don’t know? I can see right through your inner thoughts with my Rune.’
Ryu Min swallowed his words and raised his scythe.
“I might not know you, but I know one thing…”
Skkrrt!
Poporing’s head fell to the ground like a grape.
“…Only scums kill innocent people.”
Hwang Yong-min, who was trembling, looked frightened.
“There’s no need to be afraid. I’ll send you to your friends soon.”
Perhaps provoked by the mention of his friends?
Hwang Yong-min, who had been trembling just a moment ago, now looked at Ryu Min with a determined expression.
“How do you know my friends?”
“Why wouldn’t I? We used to hang out together. Strictly speaking, I was dragged into your group.”
“What?”
Ryu Min smiled at Hwang Yong-min, who was looking at him as if asking what kind of bullshit he was saying.
“Don’t you know who I am?”
“You’re Black Scythe….”
Hwang Yong-min’s words were cut abruptly as he looked at the face revealed behind the mask. It was a face he knew very well.
“It’s me. Ryu Min, the one you used to torment.”
