When people encounter something beyond reason, they instinctively start doubting themselves.

That’s exactly what Ryu Won was doing at this moment.

‘Am I dreaming right now? Why does the Black Scythe look like my brother?’

Even if it was a dream, it was astonishing.

Not because someone had changed, but because that changed appearance looked identical to a member of his family.

“Snap out of it. This isn’t a dream.”

“Hyung…?”

“I’m the Black Scythe.”

Regardless of whether his younger brother believed him or not, Ryu Min calmly spoke his truth.

“You probably know me as a prophet, but my actual class is Grim Reaper. My nickname is the Black Scythe. Sorry for hiding it until now.”

“……”

“The situation’s too dire to keep it hidden. If I want to kill those angels over there, I have to drop my disguise and use my skills.”

Ryu Min said this and turned his gaze skyward.

Gabriel and Raphael had chased them all the way here.

“You… you’re really the Black Scythe? I can’t believe it…”

“We’ll talk about the details later. Right now, we deal with them.”

Ryu Min switched his helmet to Thanatos’ Helm and activated Reaper Mode.

[You have entered Reaper Mode.]

[All stats, damage, attack speed, and movement speed increase by 44%.]

[All damage received is reduced by 44%.]

[The probability of enemies detecting you decreases by 44%.]

Strength: 848,108

Intelligence: 850,179

Agility: 848,108

Luck: 852,379

The stats that had been 580,000 soared to 850,000.

‘With one last enhancement…’

He’d be fully prepared to hunt angels.

[You are now under the effects of Demonic Blessing.]

[Based on your current total stats (3,398,774), the following effects apply:]

[For each angel defeated, you will gain gold equal to 1x your total stats (3,398,774). Depending on the angel’s rank, this amount can increase up to 1,000x (3,398,774,000).]

[For each angel defeated, you will gain stat points equal to 0.01% (339) of your total stats. Depending on the angel’s rank, this can increase up to 10% (339,877).]

[Reputation with the Demon Faction will increase slightly upon defeating an angel.]

[This buff will last until the end of the current round.]

After confirming the buff, Ryu Min lifted his gaze to see the archangels slowly descending.

“I’ll be right back. Stay here.”

“……”

Leaving only those words for his younger brother, he strode forward.

As the black figure approached, the archangels tilted their heads in confusion. It wasn’t until they saw the scythe’s silhouette that they realized his identity.

[Black Scythe? You’ve changed so much in such a short time, I almost didn’t recognize you.]

[Judging by your aura, you must’ve used some skill.]

[Not that it changes anything.]

Gabriel sneered with a self-assured smile. It seemed they were ready to combine their strength and target his weaknesses this time.

[You’ve put in quite the effort running this far. I’ll grant you peace by killing you now.]

“You think targeting my younger brother will give you a chance at victory…”

A devilish grin spread across Ryu Min’s lips.

“If I decide to kill you, it won’t take me more than ten seconds.”

[Don’t be ridiculous…]

In an instant, Gabriel’s eyes widened in shock.

His future vision had just shown him his own death.

[Hah!]

He gasped and instinctively backed away. Desperately flapping his wings, he soared into the sky to escape the looming death he’d seen.

[G-Gabriel!?]

Raphael panicked when his superior retreated like a terrified animal. Gabriel had confidently declared they would kill the Black Scythe this time. Yet now, he was fleeing?

Gabriel’s future vision activated again, showing him the next three seconds. He saw a grim future: his wings being slashed, leading to his inevitable fall.

Only three seconds left.

Now just two.

There was no time to think. He frantically changed directions.

But no matter how much he struggled, the same future repeated before his eyes.

Death.

Death.

Death.

No matter how much he writhed, he couldn’t escape the predestined outcome.

Flash!

A blinding light momentarily obscured his vision.

[Ack!]

When he opened his eyes, the Black Scythe was right in front of him.

There wasn’t even time to realize he had been dragged there.

Slash!

[Aaaaagh!]

Dozens of his wings were severed in one sweep, sending him plummeting to the ground.

Thud!

A dull impact rang out, followed by waves of pain. But what came next was far worse.

Stab! Stab! Stab!

[Ughhh!]

Dark daggers shot out like shackles, pinning his limbs to the ground.

And then—

Stab!

[Gahh!]

Ryu Min landed gracefully, plunging the scythe into Gabriel’s abdomen.

Stab! Stab! Stab! Stab!

Again.

And again.

Ten times in total.

Every part of Gabriel’s body, except for his head and heart, was riddled with holes.

[Hngh… Nghhh…]
