The 100th Regression of the Max-Level Player

Chapter 162: Testing The Rune Of Lightning (1)

└Slay the Seven Archangels

└Number of Archangels Slain (1/7)

└Success Leads To ? ?????

‘A soulbinding quest? Was there such a quest before?’

I had only seen main and subquests before, this is the first time I’ve encountered such a quest.

‘It clearly looks like a quest that started because I killed an archangel…’

The reward is unknown and the difficulty is high.

It was a quest that required the slaying of all seven archangels.

‘If I interpret the term ‘soulbinding,’ could it mean that the quest persists even after the round ends?’

Usually, quests expire at the end of the round.

They don’t carry on into the next round.

But considering the term ‘soulbinding’ and the difficulty that makes it impossible to complete in one round…

‘It seems like a quest that continues until death.’

I couldn’t think otherwise.

‘Essentially, I have to kill all seven archangels before round 20, though now there are only six left.”

The difficulty was indeed absurd.

I chuckled to myself when Yamti approached.

“Master.”

Ryu Min’s transformation had just ended, revealing his face.

“Is it all over?”

“Yes, I’ve finished what I needed to do.”

“The last angel you caught seemed quite strong…”

“He’s one of the Seven Archangels, they are the highest rank among the angels.”

“Gasp, you killed such a strong being?”

“Impressive indeed. But once I faced him, he wasn’t much after all.”

Ryu Min smiled wryly as he cleaned up the corpses.

“Let’s go. We have subquests to do.”

*

Ryu Min hid his ‘Last Time Regressor’ title as he left the temple.

[Reputation with the Holy Empire of the Last Time Regressor has decreased from ‘Hostile’ to ‘Arch-Enemy’.]

Because he had killed not just the angels but the Holy Emperor as well, he had incurred the wrath of the temple.

‘If you think about it the emperor was killed by the angel’

Although hiding the title meant less trouble, the bitterness was hard to hide.

‘Just when I did something good, I ended up being hated or cursed by my fellow humans.’

Well, it was nothing more than murmuring without real concern, and frankly, he didn’t care at all.

Whether seen as an enemy or not, with NPCs or real people from other worlds, who cared about such things?

‘Reputation doesn’t matter as long as I get the rewards.’

Titles were plentiful, so there were many others to use.

“Master. Do we have to part ways now?”

“Yes. As I told you, start from here and you should be able to complete four within the time limit. That should safely get you on the list of achievers.”

“Whine, I don’t want to part…”

“Stop acting cute and hurry up. Dally around and fail the quest, and I’ll come to the ends of hell to scold you.”

“Ah, understood! I’ll definitely survive!”

Yamti had to survive.

Her abilities would be useful in the future. Having parted with Yamti, Ryu Min quickly moved on.

“I’ve already completed one subquest, and I have nine hours left to complete nine more.”

He had already planned which quests to tackle first, optimizing his route based on past experiences.

“First stop is here.”

Ryu Min entered an alley where street vendors gathered.

“I came to buy some stuff.”

“Welcome! What would you like?”

“Everything from here to here, give them all.”

“Huh?”

The second subquest was ‘Flexing at the Street Stall’.

*

Finding subquests in the tenth round wasn’t difficult.

As he roamed around, Ryu Min could easily stumble upon various kinds. Tasks ranged from delivering items, running errands, doing favors, exterminating monsters, to escort missions. There were even jobs like part-time work, where you literally watched a store for a few hours.

“Though those are too time-consuming and inefficient.”

For subquests, the quicker, the better.

The fastest were making offerings at the temple and sweeping up goods from street vendors.

‘Besides these two, other quests take at least thirty minutes to finish.’

After buying the items, Ryu Min sought out the fastest available quest at a mercenary band.

“Welcome. What brings you to the Golden Eagle Mercenaries?”

“I’d like to take on a subjugation mission.”

Monster subjugation took some time, but if one was skilled, it could be done in under thirty minutes.

The desk attendant looked at Ryu Min and cheerily said:

“Oh, I see you’re a skilled mercenary. We happen to have a suitable subjugation mission for you.”

[Touch the monster you want to subjugate.]

└ 1. Lizardman

└ 2. Werewolf

└ 3. Skeleton

└ 4. Sandworm

[To cancel, indicate refusal.]

Ryu Min chose the strongest, the sandworm.

“The subjugation times are all similar, so might as well earn some experience points by taking down the toughest one.”

After being told to wait a minute, the doors of the mercenary band opened, and a group approached Ryu Min.

“Are you the Black Scythe? Nice to meet you. I’m Hawk Berman, the third subjugation team leader of the Golden Eagle Mercenaries. Shall we depart immediately?”

“Of course.”

The place the subjugation team leader led him to was a futuristic-looking huge machine.

It was known as a ‘warp device,’ which could teleport people instantly to various places.

“Come this way.”

Ryu Min stood on the warp device with the subjugation team leader and his mercenaries.

Tssst-tssst-

In the blink of an eye, they arrived at a desert where sandworms periodically appeared.
