The 100th Regression of the Max-Level Player

“Damn it.”

A regretful sound escaped from Jeffrey’s lips.

He hadn’t shown himself from the beginning to launch a surprise attack.

But it was blocked easily as if they had detected his presence.

“So there were more of you.”

Ma Kyung-rok sneered as he looked at Jeffrey and Ju Seong-tak.

“A butler and a cripple… Heh heh. You’re not seriously thinking that you’re safe because it’s four against two, are you? Christine?”

“Who said it’s four against two?”

When Ma Kyung-rok turned his head, Seo Arin was already standing there with her summoned creatures.

“Director, isn’t it time to stop? Do you really think this will solve anything?”

“Seo Baewoo*.”

(*Note: “Baewoo” is a respectful term meaning “actor” or “actress.”)

Ma Kyung-rok’s brow furrowed in displeasure.

“I took in a talentless woman and raised her this much, only for her to betray me.”

“You invested in me because you saw potential, didn’t you?”

“Now you even talk back. Surviving until the 12th round has made you more player-like?”

“I’ve been through a lot. I’ve also learned not to trust someone like you.”

“So that’s why you’ve been distancing yourself from us lately? Planning to betray us like this.”

“Don’t play the victim. Acting like this won’t erase the fact that you committed murder.”

“Why wouldn’t it? It’s simple; just kill everyone here.”

Ma Kyung-rok smirked psychotically, now openly revealing his murderous intent.

“Looks like I have no choice. I’ll have to subdue you.”

“Hmph, how absurd. Do you really think you can subdue me with your skills, Seo Baewoo…”

Before he could finish his sentence, Ma Kyung-rok quickly turned his body.

A golden beam from a fairy passed by the spot where he had just been.

“This sneaky woman attacks in the middle of a conversation…”

Grinding his teeth, Ma Kyung-rok drew his sword.

He was done with pretenses—he would kill her right here, right now, with nothing but that singular resolve driving him as he charged forward.

“I’ll kill you without even needing to devour you!”

But before his sword could even reach Seo Arin, it was blocked.

Clang!

Three golems stood like sturdy tanks, blocking his path.

“Damn rockheads.”

Ma Kyung-rok swung his sword, enveloped in dark aura.

Thud! Thud!

The golems, solid as they were, crumbled like tofu.

It was a dark aura that could slice through chains of iron. They couldn’t withstand it.

Just as he was about to slash the last golem, Ma Kyung-rok suddenly withdrew his sword and jumped back.

Ziiiiing!

Four fairies each shot beams of light.

Barely evading them, Ma Kyung-rok calmed his startled heart.

‘These annoying little bugs… I shouldn’t underestimate them…’

The damage of the beams increased according to the summoner Seo Arin’s magic power.

The higher the level, the stronger the fairies become.

The heat from the beams was enough to make smoke rise from the ground, so dodging was the best strategy.

Although he had a defense skill called Dark Armor, it was weak against magic damage, so he had to be extra careful.

‘These damned pests.’

At that moment, the sword of a spirit knight sliced through the air where Ma Kyung-rok had been.

Whoosh!

Though he dodged, it was a pretty fierce strike.

“Where do you think you’re going, ugly beast?”

Slash!

The dark aura-clad sword split the spirit knight’s body in half.

‘Only one left.’

Ma Kyung-rok was smiling, but only for a moment.

The remaining spirit knight’s body suddenly swelled to an enormous size.

‘What’s this?’

The spirit knight, now about 1.5 times larger, disappeared from Ma Kyung-rok’s sight in an instant.

Startled, Ma Kyung-rok instinctively raised his sword, and the spirit knight’s sword clashed against it.

Clang!

The sudden increase in power made Ma Kyung-rok’s eyebrow twitch.

‘Its strength and speed have increased. And…’

Clang! Clang! Clang!

‘It’s blocking my attacks, even those clad in dark aura.’

The dark aura, which was supposed to cut through anything, was being blocked by the mere sword of a summoned creature.

It was baffling, but he had to admit it.

The relentless onslaught of the spirit knight was quite formidable.

‘It seems that Seo Arin has learned a skill to strengthen her summons upon reaching level 60.’

A mix of admiration and frustration escaped him.

He had to kill a rather useful asset with his own hands.

“Devastating Slash.”

Just as the concentrated dark aura flashed, ready to slice through the spirit knight’s entire body—

Flinch

Ma Kyung-rok’s body was pulled to one side.

‘What’s this? A provocation skill?’

One of the remaining golems had used a taunt, drawing Ma Kyung-rok’s attention.

As a result, his finishing strike was misdirected toward the wrong target—the golem.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The last golem was shattered to pieces.

Seo Arin, surprised by the sheer power of the attack, didn’t have time to hesitate.

‘Now’s the chance! Subdue Ma Kyung-rok!’

As she commanded her summoned creatures in her mind, the fairies and spirit knight charged simultaneously.

Seeing the fairies preparing another beam attack, Ma Kyung-rok withdrew the dark aura to envelop his entire body.

It was time to use a skill he had learned upon reaching level 60.

‘Dark Dimension.’

A skill that allows the user to phase into space, avoiding all attacks.

Perhaps because of this, even though the beams and the spirit knight’s attacks hit simultaneously, Ma Kyung-rok took no damage at all.

Instead, it was the summoned creatures that suffered damage.

Due to the spatial distortion, the attacks were reflected back at them.

Ssssshh!

Slice!

The fairies and spirit knight, struck by their own attacks, vanished instantly.

Seo Arin, who lost all her summons in a blink, stood there in shock before snapping back to her senses.

‘Summon, summon…!’

She quickly tried to summon more creatures, but it was useless.

Only a message about the remaining 10-minute cooldown time appeared.

Ma Kyung-rok had already reached Seo Arin’s nose.

“Time to die.”

As he was about to swing his sword—

Cling!

Ma Kyung-rok frowned as he blocked a flying dagger from the side.

“You’re really annoying for an assassin.”

Ping! Ping!

While Jeffrey distracted Ma Kyung-rok by throwing daggers, Seo Arin distanced herself from him.

Feeling irritated, Ma Kyung-rok immediately changed his target.

‘Seo Baewoo is in an attack-disabled state. She won’t be able to do anything for a while.’

He planned to deal with the pesky Jeffrey first and then go after Seo Arin again.

‘Killing that insect shouldn’t be difficult.’

Ma Kyung-rok closed the distance between them, dodging Jeffrey’s throws, and swung his sword.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

As expected of an assassin, Jeffrey’s movements were nimble.

‘He knows better than to try blocking with a dagger. He’d be dead if he tried.’

Though quick, Ma Kyung-rok could easily restrain his movements using dark aura.

Like this.

Whoosh—Thud!

“Ugh.”

The dark aura wrapped around Jeffrey’s ankle, flinging him aside.

“It’s over.”

An assassin with his legs bound was as good as dead.

To prove it, Ma Kyung-rok drove his sword into Jeffrey’s chest.

“Gaaah!”
