The 100th Regression of the Max-Level Player

Chapter 225: One More Reward (1)

Ryu Min had slain the 4th and 5th Archangels.

It wasn’t until he checked the messages that the gravity of the situation hit him.

[You have defeated one of the Seven Archangels, ‘Raguel’!]

[Stat Points +14,536]

[Gold +145,366,800]

[Reward for killing Archangel Raguel: ‘Condensed Ether’ obtained.]

[Reward for killing Archangel Raguel: ‘Rune of Judgment’ obtained.]

[The rune you acquired has automatically engraved itself onto your body!]

[Your reputation with the Demon faction has significantly increased.]

[Stat Points +18,170]

[Gold +181,708,500]

[Reward for killing Archangel Uriel: ‘Condensed Ether’ obtained.]

[Reward for killing Archangel Uriel: ‘Rune of Radiance’ obtained.]

[The rune you acquired has automatically engraved itself onto your body!]

[Your reputation with the Demon faction has significantly increased.]

[Your reputation with the Demon faction regarding the Black Scythe has increased from ‘Very Friendly’ to ‘Eternal Ally.’]

As expected, he received two Condensed Ethers.

“Now, I can finally craft a god-tier weapon.”

He had also gained a huge boost in stat points.

“100 low-ranked angels give 7,200 points, while the two archangels provided 32,706…”

In total, nearly 40,000 stat points had been added.

An astonishing amount.

His gold had also increased by 400 million.

Moreover, his reputation with the Demon faction had maxed out.

To the Demons, Ryu Min was nothing less than a hero who had beheaded enemy generals. It was only natural.

But what caught Ryu Min’s attention most was the information on the runes.

[Rune of Judgment]

Effect: Each time you kill an enemy, you gain 1 Judgment Stack (maximum of 100).

Consumes 100 Judgment Stacks to activate ‘Heavenly Judgment.’

Heavenly Judgment: Deals magical damage equivalent to 2,400% of your intelligence in an X-shaped area in front of you.

[Rune of Radiance]

Effect: Allows movement through light.

Light Speed: Instantly moves in a straight line (maximum 1,000 meters). Stops when encountering an obstacle.

Teleport: Sends a beam of light (up to 100 meters), teleporting your body to where it lands.

Summon: Sends a beam of light (up to 100 meters) to teleport an opponent to your location.

“One’s an attack skill used by Raguel, and the other’s a movement skill from Uriel.”

Both had high utility. Especially since they were sacred skills, which made them all the more satisfying for Ryu Min, as he had the Rune of Radiance that amplified the effects of holy skills in proportion to his level.

“Both look great, but the Rune of Radiance seems particularly useful. I can summon enemies from far away.”

It would be incredibly handy for bringing allies or fleeing enemies right to his feet.

“If the effect increases by 92% based on my level, I should be able to summon an enemy from 192 meters away.”

The Light Speed ability also seemed impressive.

Without obstacles, he could instantly cover up to 1,920 meters.

“I’ll have to check the cooldown later.”

For now, he had other things to address.

“You can come out now. It’s safe.”

Rustle, rustle—

At Ryu Min’s call, there was a sound from behind.

He turned his head and saw none other than John Delgado.

Before facing the angels, Ryu Min had last sought him out.

“D-Did you do all this, my lord?”

John’s jaw dropped as he saw the devastated battlefield, which looked as if a bomb had struck the area.

“Yeah, though it wasn’t as intense as it seems.”

In truth, it had been rather dull.

If the 4th and 5th Archangels were this weak, he could probably take on the 1st with ease.

“Or maybe not…?”

The Archangel he had faced in his 68th regression hadn’t revealed their rank, but Ryu Min suspected they were the 1st.

The strength he had sensed from them was on an entirely different level than the Archangels he had just defeated.

“What should I do now?”

John’s question snapped Ryu Min back to reality. He gestured toward one of the fallen angels.

“First, make one of these angels into a physical undead. I have something I want to test. They seem intact enough for you to do it, right?”

John looked at the angel’s corpse and nodded.

“Of course. You killed them cleanly, so it should be no problem.”

Necromancy offered two types of undead creation: Spiritual Undead, which involved enslaving the soul, and Physical Undead, which reanimated the corpse. You could only apply one type of necromancy to a single body. Unlike Spiritual Undead, Physical Undead required the body to be in relatively good condition.

‘Also, while Physical Undead can’t be resummoned like Spiritual ones, they’re stronger and immune to magic damage.’

Additionally, killing a Physical Undead would still yield rewards.

Normally, killing a summon didn’t grant any rewards, but Physical Undead were an exception.

“The question I want to answer is: if I kill an angel turned into a Physical Undead, will I still get the rewards?”

To test this, Ryu Min had snapped the necks of the first 100 angel soldiers to ensure their bodies remained mostly intact.

“Now, resurrect them.”

“Yes, my lord.”

John aimed his staff at the corpse and used the Corpse Revival skill.

Crunch—

The snapped neck of the angel returned to its original position, and the reanimated angel opened its eyes, though only the whites were visible, as it was now undead.

“As you ordered, my lord, I have raised it.”

“Is it under your control?”

“Yes, but to others, it will appear as an enemy.”

“Good. Now, let’s kill it.”

Without hesitation, Ryu Min swung his scythe and beheaded the undead angel.

Thunk—

Something surprising happened.

[You have defeated the 5th-ranked angel, ‘Oliver’!]

[Stat Points +36]

[Gold +363,417]

[Angels defeated: 103/100]

[Judgment Rune Stack: 2/100]
