A story about a max level player’s 100th return, Episode 24
24. Time for the purge
Sid is the key to the collapse of the world line.
What happens when you absorb a host and continue to grow, passing a certain threshold?
Only when the seed germinates will it gain the power to destroy the world.
However, that is also the case when the biological energy is filled to a certain extent.
-All the hosts here have been caught.
-Seeing as there was no sign of anyone nearby, it looks like we caught everything.
Absorbing a host that couldn’t even gather energy like it does now was a completely useless task for Sid.
It was like the owner kicked out the servant and took on all the hard work.
Sid didn’t know that either.
So I couldn’t help but feel skeptical.
-Is this really a good thing? Removing the host?
-It can’t be helped, right? To prevent that traitor named Rapolai from growing up.
-okay. It is a hundred times, a thousand times more right to steal the prey than to let it monopolize!
-More than anything, wasn’t it an idea suggested by the commander? Where is there any doubt?
-No problem!
Although the Seeds showed trust in their leader through telepathy, Azrakan actually felt deep doubt about this incident.
‘Is this a good thing? What happened to eliminate hosts from around the world?’
It’s useless to regret it now that it’s already been removed, but the regret remains.
I kept wondering if it was the right choice.
‘There is no need to regret as the water has already been spilled. ‘There were no other options, right?’
If they hadn’t eaten it, wouldn’t that traitor named Rapolai have been the host who would have eaten it?
It would be better to share rather than let others hog it.
It was Azrakan who rationalized his actions that ruined the farming.
-Now that the host has been removed, it will no longer grow. So he wants to move on to the next plan.
-What are your next plans?
-The killing of traitors.
Now that we’ve stopped his growth, all that’s left is to get revenge on him.
-I know the location of Rapolai. So, I hope we all get together and deal with this guy.
-That’s good!
-It was the order I was waiting for!
-I will clearly show you what a traitor’s words are like!
Even though we couldn’t see each other’s faces, everyone expressed their anger towards Rapolai with one mind.
Are you betraying yourself to get the attention alone when working together isn’t enough?
These were seeds that would be unpleasant even if they were chewed right in front of your eyes.
I’m anxious to kill Rapolai right now.
-Then I will tell you the location of Rapolai, so everyone gather at the place I am talking about… … .
-wait for a sec!
One Sid interrupted.
-I can feel its frequency from here?
-what? who?
-I mean Rapolai! It must be very close to me!
Everyone remembers Rapolai’s frequency because they had a telepathic relationship once before.
-This crazy bastard is not enough to hide the frequency, so he’s openly revealing it?
-If you’re going to come, come and see. Is this it?
-I can’t do it. I will go first and give you a true education!
-Hey, wait a minute… … .
-You guys just wait patiently. I’ll mess with you first and let you know the results!
-hey! hey!
The frequency of Sid’s rant disappeared.
He went to a place where Rapolai’s frequency could be felt to try to catch up with him first.
However, he never came back.
-This guy’s energy… … has disappeared.
-What do you mean, commander?
-Are you sure you mean the guy who just went to catch Rapolai?
-Yes. His name is Raphael. For some reason, the signal disappeared after contact with Rapolai. What that means is clear.
-no way… … ?
-okay. It’s dead. To Rapolai.
Azrakan announced his death calmly.
It was a shock to those who heard it.
It also contributed to inflaming my anger.
-That traitor… !
-You even killed Sid! This goes way beyond the line!
-This is the guy who declared war to wipe out the host. The line has already been crossed!
-Rather than do this, tell me where he is right now, Commander! We will avenge Raphael!
-hmm… … .
Azrakan’s original plan was to gather all 10 seeds, excluding himself, together and attack Rapolai.

But now that one Sid has died, the atmosphere has changed.
There were a lot of seeds clamoring to go kill Rapolai right away.
-Everyone, calm down and think rationally. If you hit it alone, you could end up like Raphael. If that’s the case, let’s all get together… … .
-If you can’t do it alone, two or more people can join together, right?
-Is that so? Azrakan, you can just attach several nearby seeds, right?
-That’s right, commander! Can’t you tell? Location of all seeds.
-Tell me who Sid is near Rapolai! So you can take revenge on him right now!
Azrakan seemed to want to handle things cautiously, but he had no choice as he immediately threatened to take revenge.
-I get it. The seeds that are close to Rapolai are Halok, Valenska, and Ahiros.
-good. Three would be enough.
-Then, the three of us will get together and attack him.
-Just tell me where it is.
It felt uncomfortable for some reason, but Azrakan had no choice but to say it.
-The current location of the guy is… … .
But he soon regretted his decision.
Because the results were completely different from expectations.
-Huh, this can’t be happening… … .
-Why are you doing this, commander?
-I just confirmed that the three of them got together and met Rapolai. But the signals from those three were cut off in an instant.
-what???
-What does that mean?
-It means that three people were actually attacked by one person… … .
Sid was speechless for a moment out of surprise and shock.
-Rapollai… … That strong?
-Well, wasn’t he the one who was ahead of 15 hosts from the start?
-We must have consumed quite a few hosts, but how… … .
-I never thought I would be able to win even if the three of you attack me… … .
Now the number of seeds remaining is seven, excluding Rapolai.
There must be no more sacrifices.
-It looks like we looked down on Rapolai too much. It’s my responsibility. As your manager, I wasn’t telling you your location… … .
Azrakan also realized his responsibility.
He didn’t know that things would turn out this way.
-Even the seven of us need to band together and take care of this guy. Do you agree with this?
-Uhm. To agree.
-It seems like this guy’s strength is strong, so I guess there’s nothing I can do about it.
It was at that time that we decided to band together and attack under mutual agreement.
-What were you talking about without me?
-… … !
-La, Rapolai… !
Suddenly, Rapolai joined the telepathic conversation.
-They’re bullying me and just fooling around among themselves. Are you a little sad about this?
-You crazy psychopath!
-You killed our colleagues… … !
Each of the seeds could not hold back their anger.
It was as if the perpetrator of the murder had appeared in front of the victim’s family.
Rapolai’s evil laughter was heard through telepathy.
-Tsk tsk tsk, f*ck your colleagues. On the subject of competing to eat each other’s hosts.
-It’s not a competition, it’s to stop one of you… … .
-Stop making lame excuses. Everyone, get ready to be attacked by me. If you tease them, they come all at once and attack you. I’ll deal with you as much as I want, kekekeut.
Rapolai, who cast a wide-area provocation, cut off the signal.
The Seeds’ anger reached its peak.
-Just leave that bastard who doesn’t mind even if I change his drink!
– Commander! Tell me its location right away! If I don’t go there to kill him, I’ll have resentment for the rest of my life!
-okay! Since you speak so confidently, why not show it to me? The power of the seven of us!
Everyone was desperate to kill Rapolai.
There was no problem because it was Azrakan who had already planned to gather together and attack him.
There wasn’t… … .
‘Strange. Why is he so confident?’
As a leader, Azrakan had doubts.
Rapolai ate about 40 hosts at most.
The other seeds each absorbed more than 20, so it is natural that if three of them stick together, they can win.
However, the result was an unexpected victory for Rapolai.
‘No matter how confident you are after winning 1-3, you can’t defeat all seven of us.’
If all seven of them attack, they will never lose.
The other person probably already knows that.
‘But to provoke someone like this… … .’
There were only two cases.
Either you’re really confident of winning, or you’re just bluffing because you’re not confident.
Azrakan put more weight on the latter possibility.
‘Did you think that if you deliberately provoked them into attacking you, only a small number of troops would move out of pride? Are you planning to destroy us individually like that?’
If that were the case, the seven of them working together to attack him would have caught the guy’s wits.
Even if you think about it rationally, that was the most reasonable thing.
‘however… … ‘What is this uneasy feeling that keeps coming back?’
I wanted to think about it more carefully, but there was no time.
-What are you doing? Azrakan?
-Let’s quickly gather together and go attack this guy!
-Why is there no answer?
Because the Sids were urging us to go quickly.
-I get it. Let everyone come together on the points I mentioned.
* * *
Rapolai participated in the telepathic conversation and made a provocation.
He was currently shaking.
‘You’re going to save me, right?’
It was because of a person with a scythe on his back.
But that person doesn’t seem to know who he’s shaking for.
“Why are you shaking? I would have protected it anyway. “Didn’t you see me catching Sid earlier?”
“Look, I saw it. “I saw it.”
“Even if dozens of people come, I will protect you, so don’t worry too much.”
I’m not worried.
How could I be worried when I suddenly saw that every seed that came to the room was roasted whole?
‘What I worry about is whether or not they will save me in the end. That’s the most important thing to me!’
It was clearly the god of time who said he would release the host if he caught him, but he asked for one last thing.
-Walk around while emitting a frequency signal. Until another seed catches your scent.
When Sid, Raphael, was captured, the God of Time mercilessly killed him.
Eventually, even the three seeds who came for revenge were killed.
‘Why on earth are you killing Sid? They clearly said they only handle hosts… … .’
I wanted to ask why, but I couldn’t speak out of fear.
I thought that I too might die from a single blow like that.
“Don’t worry too much. “I will save you out of consideration for our past affection.”
“Okay, thank you.”
“So, wait comfortably. “They will come this way on their own.”
In the hope of being spared, Rapolai waited for the seeds to appear.
And just as the God of Time expected.
“bingo.”
Colleagues appeared.
Ryumin grinned and waited for the seeds to gather closer.
“It’s over there! traitor!”
“Rapolai, ne inooooom!”
“But who else is behind you?”
The Seeds that were approaching looked puzzled when they noticed the human near Rapolai.
“You have wings on your back, right?”
“Are you a demon?”
“Does that mean the skin color is different?”
“Whatever it is, let’s kill it!”
“Rapolai, it’s time for the purge!”
The seeds flew in in droves, but Ryumin frowned.
‘one two three four five six… … One guy is empty, right?’
I expected seven to show up, but only six showed up.
After reading the seeds’ thoughts, I could see who was missing.
‘Commander Azrakan. He’s missing.’
It seems that he felt suspicious and sent only troops excluding himself.
‘He’s a quick-witted guy, isn’t he?’
Ryu Min thought there was nothing he could do and made a decision.
I think I should at least kill the guys here.
It was when the seeds gathered within range.
“Lightning rune. Wide area emission.”
The high-voltage current spread and the seeds within a 30m radius were caught up.
Seven, including Rapolai.
