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.

“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.
