The 100th Regression of the Max-Level Player

Chapter: 193 The Hand of Death (2)

After waiting for five minutes, unfamiliar footsteps echoed through the quiet alley.

The Black Scythe had arrived.

“C-Captain…”

“Kang Shihyuk?”

The Black Scythe, wearing a white mask as usual, appeared after a long absence.

Due to the mask, Kang Shihyuk couldn’t tell if there was a bitter smile beneath it.

“So, why did you ask to meet here?”

“I-I have something to discuss…”

“What is it?”

“T-the thing is…”

It was clear not only to Ryu Min but to anyone that he was nervous, sweating profusely. It was suspicious, to say the least.

The Black Scythe listened patiently to his words.

Maybe that’s what made him even more suspicious.

“That bastard figured it out.”

The First Warrior, who had been hiding, revealed himself first.

“Hey, you’re the Black Scythe, right? Judging by the scythe, you must be.”

He swaggered forward with his large sword, prompting the other Apostles to reveal themselves with a sigh.

The First Warrior stopped ten steps away, sneering.

“Do you understand English?”

“…”

“Well, it doesn’t matter. Even if you don’t understand, you should get the gist of it. You’re f*cked.”

“…”

“If you want to go without pain, drop your weapon. If not, I’ll torture you until you scream like a btch and then kill you. I swear on my cck.”

Despite the blatant provocation, the Black Scythe remained unresponsive.

‘Is this guy serious? He should understand by now. Does he really not speak English?’

The First Warrior sighed in frustration.

The plan to agitate and confuse him was out the window.

“Guys. Looks like talking won’t work.”

Even as four men armed themselves and approached, Ryu Min calmly asked Kang Shihyuk,

“Who are those guys? Your friends?”

“T-that’s…”

Kang Shihyuk faced a life-changing dilemma.

Should he beg the Black Scythe for forgiveness and protection, or hide behind the monsters who had threatened him?

‘Will the captain forgive me? No, that cold-blooded man won’t spare me. It might be better to side with those guys… But what if they fail to handle the captain?’

He weighed his options, but no clear answer emerged.

“Can you explain what’s going on?”

“T-the thing is, captain…”

“Did you lure me into a trap?”

Kang Shihyuk’s head drooped.

“I-I’m sorry. I had no choice if I wanted to live. I’m really sorry, captain…”

Kang Shihyuk wept tears of repentance, but Ryu Min’s voice remained unchanged.

“No need to apologize. I’m more sorry.”

“W-what?”

Ryu Min’s scythe flashed.

Kang Shihyuk’s head tilted and then fell to the ground.

Along with it, one of the 12 Apostles behind him slid to the ground, cleanly cut.

Thud—

“There will be no pain.”

The remaining Apostles stared in horror.

Fear.

Yes, the emotion they felt was fear.

Because Ryu Min’s title imposed a status ailment on witnesses.

They regained their senses after three seconds, but it was too late. “Crazy bastard, he killed his own squad member…”

“I killed a traitor, not a squad member.”

From the moment Kang Shihyuk made the call to lure him, he became a traitor.

Regardless of the coercion, a traitor cannot be left alive.

Following that principle, he executed him on the spot, along with one of the 12 Apostles.

“You, bastard, so you can speak English?”

“I never said I couldn’t.”

“…”

The First Warrior fell silent, dumbfounded, but he was actually calming his surprised heart.

‘This bastard kills without a word…’

Not only his fluent English, but his sudden actions caught him off guard.

The other Apostles were equally shaken.

‘He killed his squad member without hesitation…’

‘The plan to use the hostage is out the window.’

Their fear stemmed not just from his ruthless decision-making and cold demeanor, but from something even more terrifying.

They couldn’t see his attack.

‘If I had been behind that monkey, I would have been dead meat too…’

While the others were lost in their thoughts, the First Warrior stepped forward.

He had already imbued his massive sword with sword energy, ready to strike at any moment.

“Wow, so you would kill someone just because of a small threat. The number one rank is actually a psycho, huh?”

“Just a small threat?”

From behind his mask, Ryu Min let out a scoff.

“You thought you could brush this off as just a joke? 12 Apostles?”

“…”

Their faces turned to stone as their secret identity was revealed.

Nobody had told him, yet he knew who they were.

“Forming a group called ‘Messiah’ to kill me, and you think you can play it off as a joke? Even a passing dog would laugh.”

“…How did you know?”

“That’s not what’s important right now.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Ryu Min’s scythe extended like a whip and retracted just as quickly.

Slash— Thud!

A member of the 12 Apostles fell to the ground with a hole in his stomach, before anyone could even register what had happened.

Thud—

Seeing a corpse suddenly appear in front of them, the Apostles flinched.

Even the First Warrior and the Swingman swallowed nervously.

‘This, this is the top ranker?’

‘A complete monster.’

Having seen his speed, there was no room left for courage. Only the thought of escaping filled their minds.

“First Warrior of England, Swingman of India. Now, it’s just the two of you left.”

“…”

“Why just stand there? At least try to fight or flee?”

“F*ck!”

The First Warrior was the first to make a move.

Despite his large frame, he moved swiftly, jumping onto a wall to reach the building’s roof.

But it was all in vain.

‘Hand of Death.’

Ryu Min aimed at the First Warrior’s back, activating his skill, and a black hand extended like a serpent, wrapping around the First Warrior’s waist.

“Let go! Let go of me!”

“Come over here. Play with me.”

The confidence vanished from the First Warrior’s face as he was dragged back, replaced only by fear.

He looked like nothing more than livestock being led to slaughter.

Slash—!

The First Warrior’s head was cleanly severed by the hand of death.

Meanwhile, the remaining Apostle, Swingman, had run far, but Ryu Min was unconcerned.

There was no cooldown on the Hand of Death.
