A story about a max level player’s 100th return, Episode 17
17. Order to convene
It was an unexpected summons order, but the Seeds were not dissatisfied.
Because I knew very well that following him, the leader, was a way to respect Deorant.
But more than anything else.
“Are we here?”
The seeds were boring.
So much so that the order to convene was welcomed.
“Are you here?”
“Nice to meet you. “Are you our leader, Archizar?”
“Yes.”
“What brought us together? “What is urgent?”
“I’ll let you know when it’s all gathered together.”
Seeds spread all over the world gathered in one place one after another.
They moved in search of the frequency signal sent by Archizar and soon arrived at a mountain in South Korea.
“Um, is everyone here?”
Archizar, who was counting the number of people, nodded slightly as he looked at the ten people, including himself.
Originally, 12 people were dispatched, including the two dead seeds, but even this was a blessing in disguise.
‘If I wasn’t lucky, I wouldn’t have been able to get even this.’
A black scythe that hunts not only the host but also the seed.
It is urgent to come up with a solution for this.
However, Seed, who did not know the seriousness of the situation, remained calm.
Some people seemed curious as to why they had asked them to gather together.
Archizar, feeling the need to explain, opened his mouth.
“First of all, thank you for coming together like this despite the sudden call. It is no different than calling you. “It is to deal with a serious problem that threatens us.”
“Are you threatening us? “What does that mean?”
“Have you ever felt a signal from your host since coming to this land?”
All of the Seeds had doubts about Archizar’s question.
“hmm… … Come to think of it, I’ve never felt a signal from the host.”
“I felt it last time, but it went away quickly.”
“I don’t feel it right now.”
“I guess I can’t get a signal because I’m so far away.”
“That’s not it.”
Archiza shook his head with stern eyes.
“The reason the surrounding hosts are not detected is because they are all dead.”
“Dead?”
“How can a host die?”
“Have inferior beings destroyed themselves?”
There were many opinions, but none came close to the correct answer.
Archizar, who was worse off, said with a sigh.
“There is a human named Black Scythe.”
“Black scythe?”
“Not only is he hunting hosts around the world, but he is also setting up a plan to kill our seeds. Two seeds named Boluak and Rukainu have already been sacrificed.”
He spoke in a bitter tone, but no one believed Archizar’s words.
“What did humans do?”
“You’re bragging too much.”
“Hey, Archizar. “I say all I have left is time, but that doesn’t mean I have time to listen to your nonsense.”
“It’s not nonsense. “I barely escaped death while fighting him just a little while ago.”
“The commander was attacked by humans?”
“I fell asleep after writing a novel.”
Even though he told the truth, the nine Sid did not believe him.
Because Archizaar’s claim sounded so absurd.
“You won’t believe it. I understand. But there is not a single lie in what I say. Black Scythe is a player, but he has power beyond imagination. “Not only can it create gaps in space and time, but it can also move at the speed of light.”
“No matter how boring it is, is it fun to gather us together and tell nonsense as if it were the truth?”
“If you’re looking for someone to listen to your empty delusions, go to the hospital over there. “They say that in the human world, there is a hospital for mentally ill people.”
Everyone, including me, was making fun of Archizar.
Unlike the hosts, they were intelligent, so they did not believe Archizar’s words.
There were some who doubted, distrusted, and even thought it was a trap.
Archizar’s face was colored with embarrassment, as if he didn’t know that he wouldn’t believe it this much.
“I only told you the truth, so why… … .”
It was a time when Archizar was sighing and muttering self-mocking words.
“There are things you don’t believe unless you see them with your own eyes.”
“… … !”
My head tilted upward at the sudden voice of a third person.
“Hey, black scythe!”
The sight of Ryumin coming down from the sky with his black wings spread was almost like that of the Death God.
To the other seeds, I wondered what kind of crow man that was.
“What is that again?”

“Are those on your back wings?”
“I heard you just called Archizar the Black Scythe?”
“That guy is a black scythe? “You said you hunted the host?”
“Wasn’t it a made-up story?”
Looking at Archizar’s trembling reaction, it doesn’t seem to be a lie.
Nevertheless, Ryumin smiled at Sid, who still looked at him with suspicion.
It was the smile of a grim reaper.
“If you don’t believe me even if I tell you, I have to prescribe extreme medication.”
Perfect!
With a snap of his fingers, his surroundings were engulfed in darkness.
“what!?”
“Why has it suddenly become night… … .”
“That’s not it! Completely cut off from the outside world!”
“Now that I think about it, this is a space of time and space, right?”
“Why are we falling into a gap in time and space…?” … ?”
At that moment, Sid remembered.
Archizar’s claims were dismissed as empty nonsense.
“Well, now that I think about it, you said that the black scythe can open a gap in space and time.”
“Then, really, that guy… … ?”
After realizing where they were trapped, Seed focused on a man.
It was a person named Black Scythe who smiled leisurely and showed no signs of embarrassment.
“look. Is it useless to talk about seeing seeing is worth hearing? It’s better to just experience it like this. Isn’t that right, Archizar?”
“… … “Did you even know my name?”
“then. Did you think I didn’t know? “The reason I released you in the first place was to attract other seeds?”
“what… … ?”
Only then did Archiza realize.
That he was playing in the palm of the black scythe.
“Well, then you let me go on purpose? “You didn’t break the barrier because you didn’t have enough energy?”
“To begin with, power doesn’t require energy. “Even if I need it, I can cover it with what I have.”
“Terra? Humans have Terra… … ?”
They possess Terra, an energy that only gods have?
This means that even though it smells like a human on the outside, it is no different from a god.
Archizar’s face became thoughtful.
‘Oh, maybe I’ll die right here… … .’
“I’m not going to die.”
Archizar is startled when he answers as if reading his thoughts.
But something even scarier than that.
“You will all die here.”
These words were like a death sentence from the Shinigami.
* * *
“Kuh… … .”
Ryumin pointed his finger at Archizar’s head, which was spitting out black liquid.
And without saying anything.
It’s a joke!
It fired a high-voltage current and burned it completely.
“I caught all 10 with this.”
Ryumin glanced at the surrounding scenery as if appreciating it.
Seed’s remains are scattered everywhere.
Burnt black.
“If we count the ones we caught before, is there 12 of them?”
12 seeds and 300 hosts.
This was the number that Ryumin had processed by searching the entire world in just a few days.
‘With this, the collapse of the world line was prevented. At least here.’
It saved me an hour, but that was it.
Deorant, the god of dimensions, was in the process of scattering seeds and hosts throughout the world line.
Tsutsutsu-
Ryu Min, who lifted the barrier of time and space, moved at the speed of light and arrived at his younger brother’s house in one go.
“oh! It’s a surprise. brother!”
“I finished everything.”
“You finished it? “You mean you sorted out all the hosts and seeds?”
“huh. Now you don’t have to worry about the world line collapsing. I don’t know if the deolant will come back, but it looks like you don’t know. “If he had known, he would have already shown himself.”
“It went really well!”
Ryu Won was happy to hear that all the monsters had been eliminated as if it were his own work.
“You worked hard, bro! My brother saved the world again. “It’s really amazing!”
“Why do you have this much?”
“We caught all the monsters, what should we do now?”
“What are you doing? I need to move back to the world line where the deolant is likely to be. “If there is a seed and a host there, we have to stop them.”
“ah… … .”
Ryu Won’s voice drained of all energy.
There is no reason for my brother to stay here after his work is done.
Ryu Won only realized that fact now.
As we continued to live together as usual, I forgot about it.
Even though the black sickle you see now is not the black sickle it used to be.
Ryumin, who was not unaware of those feelings, placed his hand on his younger brother’s shoulder.
“Don’t be too sad. “I will stop by again as soon as I finish work.”
“uh? really?”
“Really. Have I ever said anything empty? When everything is over, I will definitely stop by this world line. “Because I don’t want to be a bad older brother who leaves his younger brother alone.”
Only after comforting him like that did a small smile spread across Ryu Won’s lips.
“Do you know where to go to find deolant?”
“I don’t know. “But I know his face.”
“how? “They said they’ve never even met.”
“I know, though. “I read the past.”
Before Ryumin killed Archiza, he had a glimpse into his past.
Through [Rewind], one of the functions of the transcendental system Elsis.
“It has the ability to rewind the subject’s past like a tape. With that, I saw the monster talking to Deorant.”
“What does it look like? “Because he’s a god, does he look like a ghost?”
“no. It had a human shape? It’s grandfather. grandfather.”
The Deorant that Ryumin saw looked like an old man with a flowing white beard like a immortal.
Afterwards, I tried tracking faces and names to see if it would work, but it didn’t work either.
Perhaps because it is a being that transcends humans, I couldn’t find it.
I couldn’t pinpoint where it was.
‘This is a situation where we have to search every corner of the world line.’
Once again, a mission similar to finding a needle in the desert loomed, but Ryumin did not become discouraged.
At least there was progress.
‘We prevented the collapse of the world line, and also found out about Seed and the host.’
Moreover, didn’t you get to know Deorant’s face?
‘Based on this information, we need to move faster in the next world line.’
I don’t know if there will be deolant though.
“I don’t know how long it will take, but you’re doing well until I come. Also, don’t do that stupid thing of wrapping a rope around your neck.”
“Hey, I won’t do that. “I know for sure that my brother will come back.”
“Do you know when I will return?”
“… … .”
Well, since it is a huge mission to stop the god of the dimension, we don’t know how long it will take.
This was especially true since I had to travel around the world line.
“As I said, it might not take long. As I said, time in the world line passes differently for everyone. “Even if I process the deolant after countless hours, it may only have lasted a few days here.”
“I see… … .”
“But don’t just wait for me, do something. “The world doesn’t end just because 1.8 billion people die.”
It wasn’t wrong.
There were still more than 6 billion people in the world, and Ryu Won had to continue living here.
His brother’s advice made Ryu Won think seriously.
“Think carefully about whether there is anything you want to do. “Don’t think about useless things like before.”
“Okay, bro. I’ve come to my senses now. “Ending one’s life is something I really can’t do.”
“I wish I knew. “Then, let’s part ways.”
“wait for a sec. Which world line are we going to this time?”
Ryu Min was worried about that question.
“hmm… … .”
And I made a decision.
‘Shall we go there?’
Just inside.
“Goes.”
“I will not tell you?”
“it is a secret.”
Ryumin, who said so, used the power of time.
Then, as suddenly as it had appeared, it disappeared.
“brother?”
I stayed alone and called my brother, but there was no answer.
“It looks like he really went.”
It was disappointing, but it didn’t feel like the world was falling apart like before.
Because I have no doubt that it will come back someday.
“brother. “You have to come back quickly.”
Ryu Won muttered, stood up bravely, and then headed back to bed.
I was so tired of sleeping.
