The 100th Regression of the Max-Level Player
Chapter 133: Round 9 Begins (2)

Ryu Min had already informed his acquaintances of this fact through prophecy.

Thus, Ma Kyung-rok and Ryu Min’s acquaintances had no dilemmas.

They had already thought it through in the real world.

“I’m going for number 2, Black Scythe-nim!”

“I’ll also go with 2. Thanks for the buff, Democracy!”

Seo Arin and An Sang-cheol disappeared first.

Before moving, they didn’t forget to receive Min Juri’s buff.

They had learned from Ryu Min’s prophecy that the buff would remain even after moving.

Hearing this, Min Juri happily shared her buff with Black Scythe and others.

“It was nice meeting you, Black Scythe, Democracy. I’ll be going ahead.”

After choosing, Ma Kyung-rok disappeared next.

He didn’t say what he chose, but Ryu Min knew he had selected 3.

“I’ll go ahead too. Let’s all meet alive.”

Once Yamti disappeared, only Ryu Min and Min Juri were left to make their choices.

“Where are you going, Mr. Black Scythe? Surely to number 5?”

“Well, it’s a tough choice.”

“I’m going for 1. See you later, Black Scythe-nim!”

After Min Juri disappeared, Ryu Min was finally alone.

The reason he had delayed his choice was different.

He needed to change his appearance.

‘My choice is…’

Ryu Min cast invisibility.

Transforming into an assassin masked as Lostyak, he became unnoticeable to others.

Just before the remaining 5 seconds, Ryu Min’s finger moved.

As he chose a monster, his figure completely vanished.

In the fantasy world, there’s one rule.

Players’ nicknames are not visible to each other.

‘Last round, the angel said it was because there was a traitor group, but that’s not the case.’

In the fantasy world, players can only identify each other through faces or outfits because nicknames are hidden.

That’s why Ryu Min changed his appearance to Lostyak.

‘This way, I can proceed with the Sub-Quest without Min Juri knowing.’

Ryu Min’s choice, like Min Juri’s, was number 1.

The reason for choosing the weakest, Lizardman, was simple.

The Sub-Quest was only available there.

‘There are no Sub-Quests in other monster exterminations. I’ve verified this by choosing different options throughout the rounds.’

Transforming into Lostyak was also to undertake the Sub-Quest alone, without Min Juri following or suspecting anything.

If he were Black Scythe, she would have insisted on coming or given him suspicious looks.

Even now, Min Juri’s back was visible ahead.

Ryu Min approached her without dispelling his invisibility.

Feeling someone’s presence, she glanced at Ryu Min briefly but then looked away.

She didn’t recognize him as Black Scythe.

With his face as Lostyak and no nickname visible, it was natural she couldn’t recognize him.

Ryu Min checked the quest progress window.

[Lizardman Extermination Team Member Status]

└Participants: 602

Fewer players chose number 1 than expected.

Seeing it as the easiest, many avoided it, thinking it was a trap.

‘Pity. There’s no better place to rank than here.’

The angel didn’t mention how rankings were determined.

It was based on the number of monsters killed.

In other words, rankings depended on how many monsters one could exterminate.

‘So, exterminating weaker monsters is undoubtedly advantageous.’

However, killing too weak monsters could result in experience point losses.

So, it’s best to hunt monsters suitable for one’s level.

This way, one can gain a good amount of experience points and rank well.

This was all disclosed through prophecy.

His acquaintances chose 2 and 3 based on their levels.

Min Juri’s choice of 1 was also based on her combat capabilities.

‘With my current level, it would be natural to go for 5, the Minotaur, but the Sub-Quest is more important.’

The Sub-Quest reward is available to only one person across all areas.

It’s essential for dealing with angels, so he couldn’t miss it.

“Do you guys speak Korean? Since I can’t see your nicknames, I’m not sure if you’re players.”

“Since you’re speaking Korean, you must be.”

“But why can’t we see nicknames again?”

“Is it because they’re hidden when we enter the fantasy world?”

“Anyway, there are fewer people than I thought. Wasn’t Lizardman supposed to be the easiest?”

“Right. I thought there would be a huge crowd here.”

“Maybe that’s not the case?”

“I’m getting anxious…”

While the players chattered, an NPC-like bearded foreigner appeared.

“Have you all rested enough? I’m Kalz Garcia, the leader of the Golden Eagle Mercenary Group’s extermination team. Although you’re renowned warriors from another world, since you’re apprentices here, I’ll speak informally. Understand.”

After saying this, Kalz shouted, “Follow me, men!” and turned around.

The players followed Kalz, thinking dangerous and curious thoughts like ‘What if we kill this guy? Would the extermination fail, and we all perish?’

Some were tempted to actually try it, but no one dared.

No one is insane enough to risk not only their life but the existence of an entire group of players too.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have struggled to survive until now.

After walking for about 10 minutes, Kalz stopped at the gloomy entrance to a forest.

“Here we are, warriors from another world! This is the Magical Swamp where Lizardmen appear. You will join me in exterminating the Lizardman remnants here. Let’s get going!” S~ᴇaʀᴄh the NƟvelFɪre.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

Kalz led the way with enthusiasm, and the tense players followed.

Since it wasn’t a party, Min Juri applied a buff to herself and gripped her sword tightly.

She had never faced Lizardmen before, but she was somewhat reassured by the unique armor she received from Ryu Min.

However, neither she, Captain Kalz, nor anyone else there knew one fact.

That one person had left the group.

None other than Ryu Min, Lostyak.
