The 100th Regression of the Max-Level Player

Chapter 158: The Akashic Records (1)

As soon as Baiel arrived on the surface, she looked around.

[So this was where the signal came from?]

The place she arrived at was the secret chamber of the Holy Empire, the most confidential location.

It was the altar where oracles were made.

Crouching on the ground, overwhelmed by Ryu Min’s aura, Carlen suddenly raised her head in overjoyed.

[Oh, Angel of Battle!]

Baiel frowned as Carlen, who ran up and clung to her wings, attached herself.

[Was it you who sent the distress signal?]

[Yes, it was me!]

Thump!

Baiel pushed Carlen away with her wing.

[It’s displeasing, so don’t cling so close. How pathetic, getting captured by humans and making me go through such trouble.]

[I’m, I’m sorry.]

Carlen had no choice but to bow her head.

The Celestial realm is a society that is organized hierarchically in a vertical manner.

A 9th rank calling a 6th rank for help was a situation fraught with tension.

In the human world, it was like a private calling a sergeant.

[Tsk tsk, really pathetic, getting beaten up by mere humans.]

[I have no face to show…]

[It’s alright.]

[What?]

Baiel grinned slyly.

[Thanks to you, I get to toy with humans. I was dying of boredom anyway.]

Baiel’s gaze shifted to the center of the chamber.

A human stood there, holding a scythe, motionless.

[Is that the human?]

[Yes, yes! That’s right. Please, just tear him limb from limb!]

[Is that all you can think of? You should pull out his guts and wrap them around his neck, kekeke.]

Baiel laughed bizarrely, already looking forward to it.

Imagining the human’s screams and the blood and guts flowing like juice made her feel better.

She had long since stopped feeling sleepy.

‘I’ll start by slowly slicing off his limbs and playing with him.’

Inferior humans are not a match for a Battle Angel.

No matter how much power a player has received from the system, the fact remains unchanged.

‘He has about 40 levels by now, right?’

40 levels dare to challenge her?

A snort of derision escaped Baiel’s nose.

‘A level 99 might be worth my time, but anything less isn’t worth facing.’

He seemed to have the situation under control, but he didn’t look very strong.

Swoosh-

Baiel sheathed her sword, from which divine golden power began to emanate.

The Battle Angel’s technique, [Holy Aura], could slice through steel as if it were tofu.

[Hey, human. Is life not entertaining for you anymore?]

“……”

[Not knowing your place and meddling with an angel. You must wish for death right away, right?]

Instead of answering, Ryu Min took out four potions from his inventory.

These were the intermediate strength, agility, intelligence, and luck potions he had received from Victor.

With the command ‘use’, the contents of the potions seeped into Ryu Min’s mouth.

Though he felt no taste or change, the message was clear.

[Strength increases by 8 for 24 hours.]

[Agility increases by 8 for 24 hours.]

[Intelligence increases by 8 for 24 hours.]

[Luck increases by 8 for 24 hours.]

All his stats had increased.

Crack-

It seemed like somewhere, the string of sanity had snapped.

Apparently, Baiel was trembling with rage.

[You dare drink potions in front of me…]

It seemed the leisure of Ryu Min was irritating to her.

A sigh involuntarily escaped Ryu Min’s lips.

[Sighing now?]

More than just a sigh?

Ryu Min tapped his own head.

“These damn angels, always have a problem up here.”

[What?]

“What do they teach you in the Celestial Realm? Looking down on humans like that. Did you get brainwashed or something?”

[……]

Dumbfounded, Baiel saw no further value in talking and raised her sword.

She intended to sever the limbs of this human one by one with his swift sword technique.

‘I’ll tear open his abdomen and pull out the organs one by one to show them to this wretch.’

She had no intention of killing him mercifully.

She would slowly torture and kill him, making his screams into music.

[Human. You will regret meeting me even after death *…]

Baiel paused as she was about to strike.

Suddenly, the human’s body turned semi-transparent, and dark energy flowed and wrapped around his entire body.

It looked like he was surrounded by black smoke, his face indistinguishable.

‘What is that?’

Though it was an embodiment of death, Baiel, not well-versed about players, was simply baffled.

‘The atmosphere’s not ordinary.’

An instinctive sense of crisis gripped Baiel, and she closed the distance as if spring-loaded.

In situations like this, striking first was the right answer.

Shushushushushushush!

Her swift sword, imbued with aura, embroidered the darkness with streaks of light.

However, there was no sensation of contact at the end of her sword.

The widening of Baiel’s pupils happened moments later.

‘He dodged all of it?’

In a mere 2 seconds, she had aimed six thrusts at him, but all were evaded.

‘It must be a coincidence. It has to be. It’s just a coincidence.’

She felt she needed to verify it once more to be satisfied.

Baiel’s sword tip left a trail of golden afterimages as it moved again.

Shushushushush!

‘He, he dodged it again?’

Confident in her speed, which was comparable even to a 5th-rank angel, she was left dumbfounded.

Why can’t I touch him?

“Don’t you really know why?”

[What?]

“It’s simple.”

Ryu Min’s scythe flashed diagonally.

Changgang.

Baiel dropped her sword as she knelt.

[Cough, cough…]

Golden blood flowed endlessly from a deep gash across her chest.

Thud-

Just one strike.

It was all that was needed to take down a 6th rank angel.

The scene was unbelievable to Carlen.

‘A battle angel, not being able to do anything and just dying…’

As far as Carlen knew, even the weakest battle angel could handle a level 99 player.

Such a being was taken down so effortlessly.

‘Could this human possibly be level 99 already?’

Carlen immediately shook her head to correct her thoughts.

‘No, that can’t be. There hasn’t been a single player in history who reached max level by the 10th round…’

“Hey.”

[…Yes?]

Carlen found herself responding politely without realizing it.

“Bring more.”

[More, more?]

“Yes, if you don’t want to die, hurry. I’m itching for a fight.”

[Ah… Yes.]
