Chapter 37: The Rewards (2)
[You have slain The Harbinger of Divine Punishment.]
[Experience gained x3.]
[Experience +304.3%.]
[Gold +8,200.]
[Additional gold +4,100.]
[Level up!]
[Level up!]
[Level up!]
Ryu Min, with a single kill, skyrocketed from level 27 to level 30. And Lady Luck smiled upon him with additional gold rewards.
“Talk about being lucky.”
Now he possessed around 21,000 gold.
“I can finally afford another common skill as planned.”
Even after deducting the 3,000 gold reward from the sub-quest, he still had plenty of money left over.
But that wasn’t the only stroke of fortune he encountered.
[You are officially recognized as the first player to slay The Harbinger of Divine Punishment.]
[You have earned the title ‘The One Who Opposes Punishment.’]
[As a reward for being the first to slay The Harbinger of Divine Punishment, you have obtained ‘Condensed Ether.’]
[As a reward for being the first to slay The Harbinger of Divine Punishment, you have obtained the ‘Radiant Rune.’]
[The acquired rune is automatically engraved on the player’s body!]
Among the flood of messages, Ryu Min’s attention was drawn to an item.
“As expected, it’s here. Condensed Ether.”
[Condensed Ether]
-Category: Inventory Item
-Description: A highly valuable form of Ether, emitting a radiant glow from the very essence of the angels.
Checking his information window, Ryu Min recognized this Ether. A mischievous grin crept onto his face.
“Killing The Harbinger of Divine Punishment was all about this.”
After all, Condensed Ether was the key ingredient for crafting Grade [God] items.
“Regular Ether won’t cut it. Only Condensed Ether can create Grade [God] items.”
Although he still needed four more ingredients, obtaining them shouldn’t be a problem if everything went according to plan.
“As long as I secure the crucial ingredient, which is the Condensed Ether, the rest should be a piece of cake.”
Ryu Min couldn’t resist touching the new title he had earned.
[Title – The One Who Opposes Punishment]
-Acquisition Condition: Be the first to slay The Harbinger of Divine Punishment.
-Effect: Reduces damage received from Divine-type enemies by 80%.
An impressive 80% damage reduction skill.
Even though it only applied to Divine attributes…
“I won’t easily fall, even if I accidentally get attacked.”
Even if faced with area-of-effect skill or unavoidable strikes, he could mitigate the damage.
Ryu Min’s attention then shifted to the radiant rune that appeared.
[Radiant Rune]
-Effect: Increases Intelligence by 1 and boosts the effects of Divine-type skills by 1% per level.
This rune enhanced Intelligence and skill effects by 1% per level.
“At my current level of 30, my Intelligence and my skill effects will increase by 30%.”
Although its benefits were limited to Divine-type skills, it seemed promising for Ryu Min’s future endeavors.
Moreover, the boost in Intelligence alone was a significant advantage.
“No need to invest in Intelligence for the time being.”
As the remaining time dwindled, a message popped up.
[You have completed the sub-quest!]
[You will receive a reward of 3,000 gold!]
Not only Ryu Min but also the other players received this reward; their faces lighting up with delight.
However, some gazed at Ryu Min with a mix of awe and fear.
After all, no one expected someone to single-handedly slay the Harbinger of Divine Punishment.
Even the angels were taken aback.
[Kehehehe, that’s really impressive.]
Suddenly appearing, the angel Olive cast her eyes upon Ryu Min.
[To take down the Harbinger of Divine Punishment alone… You’re the first human I genuinely admire.]
The death of the Harbinger of Divine Punishment was an astonishing feat, even for an angel.
[Shall we conduct an interview? Player Black Scythe, how did you come up with the idea to kill the Harbinger of Divine Punishment?]
‘This slut is asking some unnecessary questions.’
Ryu Min, who didn’t want to engage in a lengthy conversation, offered a simple response.
“I killed it because I wanted to.”
[Though you only have to survive, why did you want to kill it?]
“After witnessing people being massacred by that thing, I couldn’t just stay standing.”
Though his reply was only to evade the question, it made the other players admire him even more.
“He stepped forward to save us…”
“I thought he was arrogant because of how strong he is, but surprisingly, he has a sweet side.”
“He got character.”
Ryu Min’s previous negative image, entangled with Hwang Yongmin, suddenly took a positive turn.
Upon hearing their comments, Ryu Min flashed an awkward smile.
‘It wasn’t my intention, but I did end up saving people in the end.’
Considering the potential greater losses, the death toll of 300 was relatively small.
Had he not intervened, only 500 out of 2,700 would have survived.
“To protect others… Humans are indeed strange creatures. They tear each other apart as if they want to destroy their race, yet they live harmoniously later as if nothing happened. It’s difficult for me to comprehend.”
‘Exactly. How would self-centered angels understand?’
[Anyway, congratulations on surviving. But don’t relax just yet. Whether you’ll be eliminated or not will be determined based on the final results. Keheheheh.]
Olive’s words startled the crowd.
[Shall we take a look at the final results?]
After a while, the results of the third round were revealed.
Undoubtedly, Black Scythe claimed first place.
“Wait, what?”
The results left everyone
