Chapter 226: Results of Round 13 (1)

[Unified Zone CA-EA001]

1st place: Black Scythe (Lv92 Reaper) 00:00:00

2nd place: Russell Daniel (Lv62 Blacksmith) 04:04:29

3rd place: Democracy (Lv62 Buffer) 06:08:06

“Black Scythe came in first again this time.”

“Well, of course.”

“There’s quite a time gap between 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place, huh?”

“But what does 0 seconds mean?”

The angel soon answered the players’ curiosity.

[As you can see, the time next to the nickname indicates how long it took to reach the ‘Very Friendly’ reputation status. 0 seconds means they had already achieved it before the round even started.]

“Ah...”

“They must’ve already raised it to ‘Very Friendly’.”

Nodding in understanding, the players quickly realized now was not the time to relax by watching others’ results.

For those in the lower ranks, the terrifying time of annihilation was approaching.

[Nearly 80% of you humans have raised your reputation to ‘Very Friendly’. How fortunate! Unlike the previous round, we haven’t fallen short. However, what matters now is how quickly you achieved it, right?]

Unlike the giggling angel, the players were filled with tension. Since they hadn’t received their own ranking message yet, they couldn’t tell if they were safe from elimination.

[Now, please check your ranking messages.]

As the angel signaled, everyone received their messages.

“Aah! I survived!”

“Nice!”

“I... I’m ranked 4,998?”

“No way! Damn it!”

Cries of relief and despair echoed everywhere.

It was natural—this was the moment where one’s fate of going to heaven or hell was decided.

[The cut-off for survival is a record of 7 hours, 59 minutes, and 5 seconds at rank 4,997. Congratulations to those who made it! Everyone below that is eliminated. Goodbye now.]

“No, no!”

“Please, just give me one more chance!”

Fwoosh!

Despite the desperate pleas, the ashes scattered in the wind.

As half the remaining participants disappeared, a sense of emptiness washed over the survivors.

[Now, it’s time to distribute the rewards!]

[Congratulations! You have completed the quest as the top player in this zone!]

[When Round 14 begins, you will be granted the Temporary Skill ‘Invincibility’.]

Ryu Min had decided to prioritize acquiring the rune over the stat buff.

‘It’s never a bad thing to have invincibility. If necessary, I can even use it to fight against the great angels.’

What if the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd great angels showed up together?

Even with Ryu Min’s high stats, there was no guarantee he would win.

In that case, invincibility might prove more decisive than the 50% stat buff.

‘I hope they don’t show up. Now that I’ve chosen the second option, the great angels would only be a nuisance.’

◀ ROUND 13 ENDS ▶

[Integrated Area CA-EA001]

└Survivors: 4,997

[After a while, the soul will be transferred to the body in the existing dimension.]

[Round 14 begins at midnight on February 1, 2023. Well then, see you in the next round. Congratulations on your survival.]

In the cabin, three men were wearing serious expressions.

These were the few remaining members of the Twelve Apostles.

“Just let him show up, that bastard. I’ll smash his head in.”

“Even if you’re angry, you should listen first, Yang Chiwen. Who knows what his reasons were?”

“What reason could there be, huh? That bastard stood us up after promising to meet in Round 13. What’s there to listen to?”

“......”

“I’ve hated that bastard from the start. He should’ve died like that curry-loving bastard.”

“Still, he said he’s on his way here. Let’s at least hear him out.”

Despite the Spaniard’s attempt at persuasion, Yang Chiwen merely snorted in disdain.

“Bullshit. Hey, Dark Soul.”

“Yes?”

“Get your sniper ready at the door. As soon as that bastard opens the door, blow his head off...”

At that moment—

Creak—

The door to the cabin opened, and the person they had been talking about walked in.

It was none other than John Delgado.

“You bastard!”
