★ 13th round results tally ★
[Integrated Area CA-EA001]
└1st place. Black Scythe (Lv92 Reaper) 00:00:00
└2nd place. Russell Daniel (Lv62 Blacksmith) 04:04:29
└3rd place. Democracy (Lv62 Buffer) 06:08:06
“The black scythe is first place this time too.”
“That’s right.”
“1st, 2nd, and 3rd places all have quite a gap in time, right?”
“But what is 0 seconds?”
The questions of the players who were buzzing were soon answered by the angel.
[As you can see, the time written next to the nickname is the time to reach Very Friendly. 0 seconds means it was already achieved before the round started.]
“ah… … .”
“I guess I’ve already raised you to a very friendly level.”
I nodded as if I understood, but it was not the time to waste time looking at other people’s grades.
For those in the lower ranks, the fearful time of extinction has arrived.
[Almost 80% of humans have raised their reputation to very friendly? What a relief! I didn’t fall short like the last round. But what’s important is how quickly you achieved it, right?]
Unlike the giggling angels, the players’ faces were full of tension.
Since his ranking had not yet appeared in the message, he could not tell whether he was disappearing or not.
[Then, please check each ranking message.]
Each message was delivered according to the angel’s signal.
“ah! “I lived!”
“nice!”
“My, I’m ranked 4,998th?”
“no! “Xiibaaal!”
There were mixed feelings of joy and sorrow everywhere.
There were screams and sighs.
It was natural because it was the moment when going to heaven or hell was decided.
[The cutoff record for 4,997th place is 7 hours 59 minutes 05 seconds? congratulations! Up to this point is survival, anything below that is elimination. Then, goodbye.]
“I hate it!”
“help me! “Give me one more chance!”
Passsss-
Ashes scattered behind the people’s screams.
When the number of people, which already seemed small, was reduced by half, a feeling of emptiness struck.
[Then we will take the time to pay compensation!]
[congratulations! You have completed the quest as first place in the area!]
[Currently, ‘Black Scythe’ is ranked 1st in the area.]
[A ‘Legendary Potion Selection Box’ will be given as a reward for ranking first in the area!]
[A ‘Special Reward Selection Box’ will be given as a reward for ranking first in the area!]
After seeing the reward paid, Ryu Min was the first to use the potion selection box.
[Please touch the desired potion among the following.]
└ 1. Potion of Life
└ 2. Elixir of super regeneration
└ 3. Indomitable Resistance Potion
└ 4. Memory erasure potion
└ 5. Elixir of immunity
Everything is legendary.
These are all good potions.
‘If I hadn’t received the elf’s reward in the 8th round or hadn’t reached the 99th floor of the Tower of Trials, I would have chosen the Elixir of Super Regeneration in preparation for the 15th round. but… … .’
Ryumin chose memory erasure potion number 4.
There was no particular need for other things.
Because I have become that strong.
Eventually, when I selected the special reward selection box, a view came to mind.
[You can choose one of the following special rewards.]
[Please touch the reward you want.]
└ 1. Stat 50% increase buff (limited to 14 rounds)
└ 2. Temporary skill – Invincible (limited to 14 rounds)
└ 3. Information about round 14
Ryu Min always chose the reward without hesitation when it came time to choose it.
But this time, Ryu Min couldn’t help but worry.
‘There is a high possibility that Archangel will appear in the 14th round as well.’
Since he is the suspect who killed as many as four archangels, he will seek revenge in any way possible.
‘If you’re thinking of dealing with an archangel, you should pick number 1.’
By increasing your stats, you can increase your Devil’s Blessing rewards even further.
Of course, it would be better to choose number 1, but another option came to mind.
‘Number 2, temporary skill invincibility. If you have this, it can be useful in round 14. You can also obtain the [Rune of Predation], which is essential to obtain.’
Without number 2, it is impossible to get the rune.

I was even more interested in this rune because I thought I had to get it at all costs.
‘If the archangels didn’t come, of course I would have chosen number 2… … .’
Are they just going to sit there and watch?
This time, he will take advantage of the opening in the other world and attempt his own life in the 14th round.
‘Whoa, I’m worried about this.’
Ryumin pondered his choice before finally moving his finger.
[You chose number 2.]
[When the 14th round begins, the temporary skill ‘Invincible’ is given.]
I decided to give up on stat buffs and prioritize getting runes.
‘There is nothing bad about being invincible. If the circumstances arise, it can be used to deal with the Archangel.’
What if archangels 1, 2, and 3 appear at the same time?
No matter how high the stats are, Ryumin cannot be guaranteed to win.
In this case, invincibility, which determines the game, may be more effective than a 50% stat buff.
‘If possible, I hope you don’t come. If you choose number 2, the Archangel will only be a hindrance.’

[Round 14 begins at midnight on February 1, 2023. Well then, see you in the next round. Congratulations on your survival.]
* * *
In the cabin, three men had serious expressions.
There were only a few remaining members of the 12 Apostles.
“Just come, you f*cking bastard. “I’ll take a picture of your head right away.”
“Even if you’re angry, you have to listen to what I say. Mr. Yang Qiwen. Who knows, maybe there are circumstances of their own?”
“What the f*ck are the circumstances! “What do you say to the bastard who pretended to cheat after agreeing to meet him in the 13th round?”
“… … .”
“I didn’t like that bastard from the beginning. “I should have fallen like a curry man.”
“Still, I got a call saying I’m coming this way, so let’s hear about it.”
Despite Spaniard’s persuasion, Yang Qiwen only snorted.
“Damn. Hey, Dark Souls.”
“yes?”
“I’m preparing to snipe at the door. If that bastard opens the door and comes in, shoot him in the head and kill him… … .”
It was then.
Sigh-
The cabin door opened and the person at the center of the topic came in.
It was none other than John Delgado.
“You f*cking bastard!”
“Oh hey! Why are you like this? Please be patient.”
John, who looked indifferently at the excited Yang Qiwen and the drying Spaniard, sat down as usual.
“Would you like to see that bastard’s carefree expression? “Are you making me angry?”
“Why are you so angry?”
“what?”
Seeing John’s expression as if he was wondering what was going on, Yang Qiwen was so dumbfounded that he was speechless.
My red face looks like it might explode at any moment.
Spaniards quickly stepped forward before the situation worsened.
“John Delgado. Why did you do that in round 13?”
“Excuse me?”
“Surely you forgot? Didn’t you decide to meet with us in the other world and track down Zephyr? “The only person who knows Jeffy’s face is John Delgado.”
“Oh, that’s it.”
“Why didn’t we gather at the agreed upon location? They decided to meet at the closest place where they can see the angel… … .”
“I’m sorry. “I forgot.”
“I forgot… … “Pfft?”
Spaniard sighed, feeling more helpless than expected.
Yang Qiwen finally screamed as if the tip had turned.
“There is something else to forget, forget that? Are you just telling us to be X? “f*ck you!”
“Maybe it’s because you’re such a brat, but your mouth is so dirty.”
“What you bastard!?”
“Stop, stop! We didn’t come together to fight. yes?”
When Spaniard and Dark Soul intervened, no major problems occurred.
However, Yang Qiwen and John’s eyes were murderous, as if they were going to kill each other.
“Yes, people can forget. Yes?”
“How dare you forget! That bastard is being rude. “They decided to f*ck us!”
“It’s okay, it’s okay. Isn’t today just the day? You can meet again in round 14 and track down Zephyr. John, you won’t forget this time, right?”
John Delgado nodded and said.
“We will proceed with tracking down Zephyr in round 14.”
“Hah, how could it have ended in the 13th round…” … .”
Spaniard stood up, leaving behind Yang Qiwen, who was complaining.
“Now, since the mood is not good, I guess we should end today’s meeting here. John. I’m sorry I finished so quickly since you just arrived. “Let’s just go down the mountain.”
“This was an unnecessary step.”
When John opened the cabin door first, Spaniard spoke quickly.
“Oh, look at my mind. I have something to organize, but I forgot. We’ll be leaving in a bit. Let’s go first. see you next time.”
John went out without answering.
Only after he was completely out of the range of presence detection did the Spaniard open his mouth insinuatingly.
“I’m sure everyone noticed, but John Delgado intentionally left us alone. “I have something serious to discuss.”
“What are you talking about?”
Spaniard shared his honest thoughts.
“It seems to me that John Delgado is in league with the Black Scythe.”
“One game?”
“Honestly, it’s not a difficult operation, so it doesn’t make sense to forget about it, right? “Unless you have dementia.”
“That’s definitely a ridiculous excuse.”
“That’s why I doubt it. Zephyr, Black Scythe, John Delgado. “There is a possibility that they are all part of the same group.”
bang-!
Yang Qiwen hit the table and huffed with a fiery face.
“f*ck, I knew it would be like this. “You traitorous bastard.”
“It probably wasn’t an intentional betrayal.”
“What do you mean by that?”
“Have you forgotten? “The black scythe has dominion.”
“ah… … .”
“Perhaps in the 12th round, I went looking for the black scythe, but Gokkung was discovered and I was ruled in reverse. “Become his subordinate.”
Perhaps it was a valid argument, but Yang Qiwen and Dark Soul were the main characters.
“uh? So aren’t we in danger? “The information would not have been exposed to Black Scythe.”
“Probably so. John must have blown a lot of things.”
The three people looked serious, not knowing that the information had already been leaked.
“Uh, what should I do? “Shouldn’t we disperse immediately instead of taking our time like this?”
“hey. Do you think he won’t be able to track you down like that? That damn bastard knows all our faces? “Maybe the black scythe will guide you one by one, like a navigation system.”
“In other words, it’s a dead life, us!”
Dark Soul trembled in fear, but Spaniard remained calm.
“There is one way to live.”
“Bow your head to the black scythe. If it’s something like that, it’s a specification. “f*ck you, there’s a guy in Gao.”
“It’s not like that.”
“then?”
Yang Qiwen and Dark Soul paid attention to Spaniard’s mouth.
“Conversely, we will strike first.”
“it’s crazy? “What are the three of us doing?”
“That’s reckless. You know what kind of monster the Black Scythe is… … .”
“Dark Soul. “Unlike the first time, you seem to have lost a lot of confidence.”
Dark Soul flinched as if he had hit the nail on the head.
“Where did the self-confident self that no one could follow with sniping go?”
“Well, I’m still confident about that. No matter how black the scythe is, if its head explodes, won’t it kill you? But that only happens if he comes to the sniping location… … .”
“That’s it. The goal is to lure the black scythe to the sniping location. Of course, Yang Qiwen and I will do the manning.”
“what? “Are you telling me to be bait?”
“There is no other way, is there? “If you can’t avoid it, you have no choice but to collide.”
Spaniard’s words were persuasive.
If I keep paying attention like this, I don’t know when I will be assassinated by the black scythe.
“They say that even a cornered mouse will bite a cat. “We have no choice but to move first.”
“Do you have a strategy in mind?”
“First, let’s contact John Delgado that we would like to meet Black Scythe. I’m asking you to meet with me with the intention of getting along well. We decide the location. What if a black scythe comes to the sniping location like that?”
“Can I just shoot you in the head?”
Spaniard nodded at Dark Soul’s words.
“yes. Yang Qiwen and I will step forward and attract attention so that the target can let down their guard.”
“No, two is not enough. “Can I bring in one more person?”
“Sure. Mr. Yang Qiwen. “Is there anyone who can help me?”
“Under me, there is a player who is ranked second in the black society. “It will be helpful if we work together.”
“great. The three of us will act as bait, and Dark Soul will do the sniping. Are you confident?”
“As long as you get their attention, you can break anyone’s head.”
The confidence that had disappeared had returned to Dark Soul’s face.
It is difficult to hit a moving target, but it is a different story if it attracts attention and comes into the shooting area.
“Really? Are you sure that even a black scythe can kill?”
“Mr. Yang Qiwen. Do not worry. Black scythes are also people. Of course you can kill him.”
“There is, right? Be clear. “If you fail, we will all die.”
“It doesn’t fail. Just keep your gaze steady and don’t move. “I’d like to try representing the district.”
I don’t know if I could become a representative by killing someone in real life, but I was certain that Dark Soul was confident in it.
“But what about John Delgado?”
“Let’s deal with that person later. “If Black Scythe dies, he’s someone you can easily get rid of anyway.”
“is it so.”
“good. “Let’s put the plan into action right away.”
The three apostles who planned the plan smiled bitterly.
