Chapter 137: End of The Hunt (1)
Squeak!
Kiik!
Screams of lizardmen echoed from various places.
Screech-!
Screech-screech-!
The sound of something being massively sliced is also heard.
The origin of this sound drew the players attention.
And without exception, they all wear bewildered expressions.
Cr, crazy. Isnt that Black Scythe?
Black Scythe chose to hunt lizardmen?
What on earth is that weapon, anyway?
Whats with it swinging once and like a dozen fall like sorghum?
It was a strange scythe.
It extended like a whip, slicing through the waists of a dozen creatures before retracting.
Its attack speed was so fast that the swinging motion was invisible.
Only the spectacle of lizardmen being chopped up could be seen every time one blinked.
Truly a clawed hand.nove(l)bi(n.)com
It was like the hand of death mowing down monsters.
But looking at the numbers, it seems like they appeared in accordance with our headcount
Black Scythe is sweeping them all up
A monster meant for each person to kill, all being swept away by one person?
Rather than anger, it was a bewildering situation.
NPCs, feeling the same, only watched in silence.
Min Juri also blankly watched Black Scythes battle and suddenly realized.
Ah, now I see why Black Scythe said watching him wouldnt be helpful.
It was practically a massacre of the common folk; where would there be a moment to analyze the attack patterns and traits of lizardmen?
It would be better to learn by watching other players battles instead.
Having made that decision, Min Juri moved a bit away.
As expected, the players were desperately hunting lizardmen, fearing their share would be taken by Black Scythe.
Regardless, Ryu Min focused solely on slaughtering lizardmen.
I dont even need to use Moonlight Slash, do I?
Originally, he intended to go all out with Moonlight Slash, but seeing the damage, it seemed unnecessary.
I knew the scythe was suitable for mass slaughter, but not to this extent.
Thanks to Min Juris buff, it felt significantly faster and stronger.
Kiieek-!
I know. As if I would end up causing the death of everyone just for a bit of experience point. Dont worry.
Originally, Ryu Min intended to stop hunting after reaching a thousand kills.
A thousand should be enough to secure the top spot in every area.
In the previous rounds, no other player besides Ryu Min had managed to kill a thousand.
Just a bit more to go. Not much left.
Since monsters killed in the Tower of Trials also counted, he only needed to kill about 200 more to safely pass.
Whats your current level?
Me? Level 38.
Just two more levels and youll be able to learn a new skill.
Saying so, Ryu Min went back to hunting as lizardmen attacked again.
Once again, sweeping the monsters with the clawed scythe, the players were dismayed, but that was momentary.
After reaching his goal of 200 kills, Ryu Min stopped hunting, leaving people puzzled.
Why did he suddenly stop hunting?
Is he taking a break now?
Anyway, this is our chance! We dont know when hell start again!
But thereafter, Ryu Min didnt touch a single lizardman.
While puzzled, players were simultaneously relieved.
Black Scythe-nim? Why arent you catching more?
Answering Min Juris innocent question, Ryu Min responded like a magnanimous person.
Ive caught enough. Theres no point in hunting these tiny XP creatures; it would only trouble the other players.
Ah so you deliberately did it for our sake?
For our sake? If anything, its for of you.
He almost said that but swallowed his words.
Misunderstanding, Min Juri would turn red and start imagining things again.
There are plenty more monsters to catch. Hurry up and reach level 40. Im curious what skill youll learn.
Yes! Just wait a bit!
With vigorous words, Min Juri eventually managed to reach level 40 after defeating 280 lizardmen.
I finally became an expert!
Congratulations. Whats the skill?
Ill show you right away!
Light flowed from Min Juris hands.
As if to prove she was a buffer, the skill she learned this time was also a buff.
[A Safety Barrier has been applied.]
[You will be protected from one physical attack.]
