The 100th Regression of the Max-Level Player

Chapter 115: The Elf Guild (1)

[The mission to escort the Dwarf Guild has been completed.]

[Current personnel status]

Participants: 190

Traitors: 5

The mission to escort the Dwarf Guild concluded with a relatively low death toll of 40.

Among them, 24 were killed not by monsters, but by other humans, as part of the traitor group.

I survived.

Ryu Min and four others managed to survive to the end without being detected.

Of course, surviving was just the beginning of their challenges.

[Since you failed to disrupt the guilds journey, all stats will be reduced by 20% until the end of the round.]

[You will be moved to the Traitor Groups waiting area shortly.]

Not being caught during the search was a relief, but the group mission failure was a gloomy affair.

Well, for the other traitors, not for Ryu Min.

I managed to level up to 70 with the Dwarf Guild. The experience points were surprisingly good.

He even thought he might surpass level 80 in this round.

Now its over, Black Scythe-nim.

Good work, Black Scythe-nim.

Min Juri and Seo Arin approached to say goodbye.

Their expressions seemed regretful as if they were reluctant to part.

Good job. See you in the next round.

With those words from Ryu Min, the background changed.

When he came to his senses, he was standing in a grey space.

[Kyahahat, welcome back, traitors? Huh?]

The angel Ariel frowned delicately.

[Only five of you left? Haaa. Thats far fewer than I expected.]

Expectations? Did you expect so many of us to die?

[Of course. I expected the traitors to be quickly identified and eliminated in the small Dwarf Guild. Did you really think it would be easy?]

The traitor who spoke up fell silent as if hit by the painful truth.

[Kyahaha, then thats really naive. Or are you just stupid? Its obvious that its harder to hide your identity when there are fewer people.]

In reality, the Dwarf Guild was the most difficult challenge for the traitor group.

The perception of it being easy was merely a standard set for the escort groups.

If its easy for the escort group then its hard for the traitor group.

[The good news is, you still have hope. There are two more chances.]

If they can stop either the Elf Guild or the Human Guild from reaching their destination, the traitor group can survive. That is if they can manage it.

[Cheer up. The next mission with the Elf Guild wont be as difficult as this one. There are as many as 700 participants.]

The four traitors, excluding Ryu Min, were surprised by the number, more than triple the previous count.

Indeed, beautiful elves are more popular than the unattractive dwarves.

[This time, the five of you should work closely together. Of course, youll have to deal with the stat penalty. Kihihi.]

The five traitors looked at each other.

Were only five left, lets do well this time.

Yeah, we have to stick together if we want to survive.

Should we come up with some sort of strategy, Black Scythe-nim?

Their eyes turned to Ryu Min, seemingly appointing him as the leader naturally.

Do whatever you want.

Ryu Min had no intention of mingling with them.

Though they share a common goal, a solo player remains solo.

He couldnt trust people who werent his party members.

Black Scythe-nim, you dont plan to strategize?

Thats right. I didnt see you when we were trying to attack the dwarves

One of the traitors stopped speaking mid-sentence, silenced by the lethal look in Ryu Mins eyes.

Why should I trust any of you? Were not even in the same party.

But were in the same group

Only in terms of objectives, were practically individuals. Thats why we receive experience points separately.

Ryu Min coldly refused and turned away.

Better focus on hunting.

His declaration of solo play darkened the expressions of the other traitors.

It seemed they were not confident in attacking the Elves caravan without Black Scythe.

Watching this, Ariel chuckled.

[Oh dear, it seems theres a lack of consensus within the group. Well, thats none of my concern. Im just here to move you to the Elf Guild.]

But Angel, if we go to the Elf Guild, does that mean the players there have been waiting for us for five hours?

[Ah, didnt I mention? While you traitors are on your mission, time is frozen for the other Guilds. That includes the people who just finished with the Dwarf Guild.]

The time only flows in the guild where the traitor group participates, the rest are frozen.

[Otherwise, the other groups would have to endure boring times while you tackle other guilds. Dont worry about the other humans though. Right now, what matters most is yourselves, right? Kyahahahat.]

Listening to her annoyingly jovial voice, the traitors waited to be moved.

[Shall we go to the Elf Guild then? I sincerely hope you succeed this time.]

Changing locations can help lift ones mood.

This was especially true for the traitor group.

This is

The Elf Guild quest location?

Unlike the gloomy rock terrain of the Dwarf Guild, this place was filled with lush trees and fragrances.

But the biggest difference was the players.

Oh, are we starting the escort here?

Choosing the Elf Guild starts us off in a place like an elf village, huh?

But why are there so many people?

They all chose this one to see the elves, obviously.

As the angel mentioned, about 700 people filled the forest.

With this many people

It wont be easy to find us like last time.

On one hand, the traitors were relieved they wouldnt be easily exposed beforehand.

But

[Traitor Group Failure Penalty: All stats reduced by 20%.]
