- Chapter 225: One More Reward (2)
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]
Killing the Physical Undead had increased his angel kill count from 102 to 103.
Moreover, he had received the same reward as if he had killed a living angel.
“As I suspected, I still get rewards.”
However, the rewards were halved compared to when he killed the angel the first time. This was likely because the Physical Undead only retained half of their original strength.
“Still, being able to revive a corpse even once is a huge advantage.”
John Delgado’s value had skyrocketed.
Ryu Min was glad he hadn’t killed him earlier.
“John, resurrect all the angels into Physical Undead.”
“Understood.”
“Wait, stop for a moment.”
A thought crossed Ryu Min’s mind.
“Wouldn’t it be better to kill them after receiving the Demon’s Blessing again?”
After killing the first batch of 100 soldiers, Ryu Min had used the Demon’s Blessing. Now that he had slain another 100 soldiers and two Archangels, his stats were maxed out again.
This meant he could use the Demon’s Blessing once more.
“With my higher stats, I’ll get even more rewards if I use the blessing now.”
And if he killed all these corpses afterward, he could max out his stack count.
“But first, let’s allocate my stat points.”
Ryu Min opened his status window and distributed the 39,906 stat points equally across his four main stats.
Afterward, he gave John the order.
“Revive all the angels here.”
“Yes, my lord.”
John systematically resurrected the angels into Physical Undead.
Unlike Spiritual Undead, which could be resummoned repeatedly, Physical Undead could only be raised once. They couldn’t be stored or carried around.
“I’ll have to kill them all here.”
A total of 101 Physical Undead were created, excluding the one Ryu Min had killed earlier.
[101 enemies detected within a 100-meter radius.]
[The effect of the Rune of One Against a Hundred has increased all your stats by 100%.]
Since the undead were considered enemies, the Rune of One Against a Hundred doubled Ryu Min’s stats.
This was why he hadn’t used the Demon’s Blessing yet.
He wanted to maximize his stats.
The timing was perfect, as he had just killed the angels, and his Reaper Transformation was still active.
“Demon’s Blessing.”
[You are now under the effect of the Demon’s Blessing.]
[Based on your current total stats (2,019,892), the following effects will apply:]
For each angel slain, you will receive gold equal to your stat total (2,019,892). Depending on the angel’s rank, you may earn up to 1,000 times this amount (2,019,892,000).
For each angel slain, you will receive stat points equal to 0.01% of your stat total (201). Depending on the angel’s rank, this may increase up to 10% (201,989).
Each angel slain will slightly increase your reputation with the Demon faction.
The buff will remain active until the end of the current round.
With the Demon’s Blessing active, the rewards were significantly higher than before.
‘The increase is more than fivefold.’
Ryu Min proceeded to kill the resurrected angels one by one again.
Though it felt a bit cruel to kill them twice, it didn’t matter as long as he received the rewards.
Slice— slice—!
One by one, the undead angels fell under his scythe, and his stats quickly accumulated.
[Angels defeated: 99/100]
[Judgment Rune Stack: 100/100]
[You can now use ‘Heavenly Judgment’ by consuming 100 stacks.]
After dispatching the 99 undead soldiers, Ryu Min had gained nearly 20,000 additional stat points and 200 million gold. Only the two Archangels remained.
Ryu Min stood before the resurrected Raguel and Uriel. These soulless beings showed no hostility toward him and didn’t even recognize him.
Slash—!
[You have defeated one of the Seven Archangels, ‘Raguel’!]
[Stat Points +40,397]
[Gold +403,978,400]
[Angels defeated: 100/100]
[You have fulfilled the conditions to use the Demon’s Blessing. You can activate it by saying the trigger phrase at any time.]
Even at half power, the rewards were massive.
With his baseline stats increased, the rewards were higher than they had been previously.
‘However, no new items or runes dropped.’
Since he had already obtained the unique rewards from the Archangels, they weren’t granted again.
The same went for the Soul Binding Quest.
Quest: Defeat all Seven Archangels
Current Progress: 4/7 Archangels defeated
Completion Reward: ?????
Defeating the same Archangels again didn’t add to the count.
‘Looks like I have to kill each of the Seven Archangels individually.’
In other words, he needed to find and kill all seven different Archangels.
‘Alright, let’s see how far I can go. I still have a debt to collect from the angels anyway, and I’m curious about the reward for completing this quest.’
Even if he didn’t know how powerful the 1st Archangel was, Ryu Min knew that to defeat them, he had to continue growing stronger.
[You have defeated one of the Seven Archangels, ‘Uriel’!]
[Stat Points +50,497]
[Gold +504,973,000]
[Angels defeated: 101/100]
After killing all the resurrected angels, Ryu Min opened his status window to check his updated stats.

‘1.5 billion gold and over 110,000 stat points to distribute…’
The rewards were truly astonishing.
The payoff had nearly tripled compared to what he had initially gained.
‘Necromancy turned out to be a much more powerful tool than I expected.’
Ryu Min had been right to keep John Delgado alive. He was proving invaluable.
Looking at the idle John, Ryu Min asked, “How far have you progressed with your side quests?”
“I’ve completed the errands quests, my lord.”
“I see. I must’ve delayed you. I’ll take you to the Holy Empire, so finish up as quickly as possible.”
“Understood, my lord.”
‘You need to survive with me until the final round.’ Ryu Min thought to himself, hiding the deeper meaning behind his words.
With that, Ryu Min erased the traces of the angels’ corpses and gestured for John to come closer.
“Let’s go.”
John touched Ryu Min’s back, and with the power of the Rune of Radiance, Ryu Min vanished at the speed of light.
***
[Time Remaining Until Round Ends: 00:00:00]
As the allotted 10 hours passed, all the players spread across the fantasy world were brought together.
They found themselves back in the monochrome space where they had first started.
“It’s already been 10 hours?”
“Damn it! I was in the middle of a quest!”
“Shit! I only needed to kill one more!”
“I’m ruined!”
Players who had failed to raise their reputation to at least “Very Friendly” collapsed in despair, clutching their heads.
On the other hand, those who had managed to raise their reputation at the last moment prayed fervently that they were within the top half of players who would advance. Though, no amount of prayer could change the results now.
[Hehe, well done, humans! It was harder to raise your reputation than you thought, right?]
“…….”
[No response? I guess it wasn’t that hard then, huh? I can’t wait to see the results! Let’s hope there aren’t as many failures as last time, shall we? Hehe.]
The mocking angel snapped her fingers, and the results began to display.
