Chapter 49: Round 4 Rankings Revealed (2)
The reason for epting murder was beyond the fact of the resurrection.
Survival.
People fought to survive.
It was amon event for modern individuals humans living in apetitive society.
After this round, yers wont feel repulsed by murder anymore.
Even though it was a virtual world, these yers had already experienced killing people countless times during this round.
Would they feel repulsion if they had tomit real murder in the physical world?
In the future, theyll act without hesitation. Thewless zone will only intensify.
They would aim their weapons at each other, killing innocent bystanders to prove their superiority.
That was the future that awaited the yers.
Of course, not everyone will cave to this.
yers who hadnt lost their humanity would still feel guilt and remorse for taking lives.
Ryu Min himself experienced those emotions to some extent.
Thats why I try to end their lives as swiftly as possible, sparing them unnecessary suffering.
But when faced with the first yer who lunged at him, he showed no mercy.
No mercy for those who strike first.
And once he had killed a yer, he never killed them again.
There was no point in targeting the same person multiple times since it wouldnt count toward his record.
In other words, it means I meticulously remember the nicknames of the yers Ive in.
Remembering the nicknames of hundreds of yers?
It was a difficult task, but not an impossible one.
As long as I recall the essential keywords of their nicknames, I can easily remember them when I see them again.
His high intelligence stat made it all the more achievable.
Ive taken care of him, and him too.
As he passed by other yers, he scanned them attentively.
Ryu Mins focus was on yers he had never killed before.
However, the majority of those who fell by his hand were familiar faces.
I dont remember that one. Theyre new.
As soon as he spotted a yer he hadnt in, he swiftly swung his scythe.
Without a second nce at the fallen, he moved on, searching for his next target.
Time is running out. I need to get more kills.
In his pursuit of iming the top rank for the entire zone, his eyes burned with determination as he hunted down his prey.
Suddenly, pirs of light descended from the sky, obstructing his movement.
Time had expired.
[Hehehe! Did you all enjoy the killings?]
Trapped within their respective pirs, the yers directed chilly gazes towards the angel.
Could killing the same person bring any enjoyment?
At times, they even red at the angel who assigned them this nauseating quest, filled with resentment.
The angel was merely a guide, after all.
[Oh my, look at this filthy blood. The once pristine space has turned intoplete chaos.]
[Well, despite killing each other, youve all worked hard. Before we reveal the final results, lets resurrect the fallen.]
Before the angel could finish speaking, the system had already resurrected the deceased yers.
These Angels, they speak as if they possess the power to revive them. But in truth, they dont have such ability.
As Ryu Min continued to look at the angel, the yers were resurrected only to find themselves trapped within pirs, without exception.
Even Hwang Yongmins friends, who had been mercilessly killed for three hours, were finally granted a moment of peace.
Hwang Yongmin, you bastard!
You son of a bitch! Ill kill you!
Youre nothing but a worthless bug!
Amidst the pirs of light, they busily spewed insults at Hwang Yongmin.
[Quiet down! From now on, anyone who makes a sound will have their heads explode.]
[Now that its finally quiet, shall we take a look at the results after everyone has resurrected? Ah! But before that, lets see what the sub-quest for this round was, shall we?]
The sub-quest?
There was one this time too?
Of course there was. Did you think there wouldnt be? Are you idiots? Hehehe.
With a knowing smile, the angel who had selected the humans disyed the quest window.
Defeat the Zone Representative within the time limit.
Sess grants Lowest-grade Soulstone Draw Ticket.
Defeat the Zone Representative?
So, this was the sub-quest?
[Yes, you fools. By the way, only one human in the entire world has achieved the sub-quest. And its ck Scythe.]
ck Scythe?
Come to think of it
He killed Hwang Yongmin and became the Zone Representative, didnt he?
Oh, right.
Those who had previously criticized ck Scythe for killing Hwang Yongmin now seemed remorseful as if their appetites had been spoiled.
If I had known, I would have killed Hwang Yongmin
Damn it. Bing the Zone Representative in this round turned out to be advantageous after all.
However, Hwang Yongmin, who had perished, waspletely oblivious to this news.
I I died? Killed by ck Scythe?
Could it be that the reason he cant remember anything in the beginning is because of this?
Realizing that he had died and been resurrected, Hwang Yongmin hastily examined his skill window.
Its gone. The temporary skill, Commanding Authority, is no longer there.
Even though he had used up all his chances, the skill window had clearly shown that he still possessed the Commanding Authority skill.
But now, it had inexplicably vanished.
Did the Zone Representative authority really transfer to ck Scythe? From me?
Was it an indication that they would assist him so he wouldnt be a target?
Is this why he took the title of Zone Representative from him?
Perplexed, Hwang Yongmin gazed at Ryu Min, who appeared indifferent and didnt spare him a single nce.
[Now, lets take a look at the results, shall we? But before that, Im sure youre curious about how the rankings were determined.]
The angel finally revealed the hidden rules.
[The rankings are based on the order of each yers unique kills. Which means, even if the same human was killed multiple times, it only counts as 1 kill.]
Unique kills?
So, its not just about killing as many as possible?
[Do you really think it was that straightforward? Kehehehe, lets see the results.]
With a graceful movement of its wings, the angel unveiled the results window.

1st ce: ck Scythe (Level 30 Reaper) 722 kills

3rd ce: An Sang-cheol (Level 11 Knight) 209 kills
[Once again, ck Scythe ims 1st ce.]
Thats a relief.
As Ryu Min let out a sigh of relief, feeling rtively secure in his 1st ce position, the other yers cast him envious nces, mixed with a hint of resentment.
To kill over 700 people
How is that even possible?
Werent we barely a thousand in number?
So, he single-handedly killed 70% of us?
This is absolutely insane.
Just like the onlookers shaking their heads in disbelief, even the angel couldnt help but be astonished.
[Wow! You managed to eliminate 722 people all by yourself? Thats truly impressive!]
[For reference, the lowest record for our zone this time was 30 kills, achieved by the yer ranked 521st. Anyone below that is considered eliminated.]
Ah
wuh
Sighs escaped the lips of almost half of the yers.
They were among those who couldnt even reach the 30 kills mark.
Oh no, this cant be happening. I dont want to be eliminated!
Does this mean were really going to die this time?
Sigh I should have put more effort into eliminating others.
While half of the yers sighed with regret, Ryu Min focused his attention on the reward message. Read Next Chapter on Patreon
