The 100th Regression of the Max-Level Player-Chapter 274: A Never-Before-Seen Item (1)

A flood of reward messages filled the screen.

With just a single skill usage, an overwhelming number of notifications had appeared.

‘Makes sense. I did just take down a dragon, after all.’

Some might see this as excessive, but this was no ordinary opponent—it was a dragon.

Even a party of max-level players would struggle to take one down. Dragons were the ultimate boss monsters, nearly impossible to defeat before reaching max level.

In other words, slaying a dragon in Round 17—before reaching the level cap—was supposed to be impossible.

‘Since I’m the first to do it, it’s only natural that the rewards are abundant.’

Ryu Min glanced over the reward messages with a familiar gaze.

After all, these were the same rewards he had received in previous regressions.

[Title – Dragon Slayer]

Acquisition Condition: Awarded for being the first to slay a dragon.

Effect: Doubles all stats when fighting dragon-type enemies. Monsters instinctively fear the holder.

To Ryu Min, this title was practically useless.

He had no intention of hunting dragons in the future, so what good was a stat boost against them?

‘At best, the fear effect might make hunting other monsters easier… but I won’t be hunting anymore anyway.’

Since Ryu Min had no need for it, the title was meaningless.

The same went for the rune he had received.

[Rune of Memory]

Effect: Grants perfect memory—anything seen once can never be forgotten.

With Ryu Min’s intelligence stat already absurdly high, his memory was unmatched.

‘Still, I can’t exactly refuse a free gift.’

Rather than the title or the rune, something else caught his attention.

[Dragon Slayer’s Necklace]

Type: Necklace

Grade: God

Effect: All stats +50, skill damage +50%, all elemental damage resistance +30%

Durability: 20,000/20,000

Usage Requirement: Master Rank or higher

This 𝓬ontent is taken from freeweɓnovel.cѳm.

Description: A token granted exclusively to the first Dragon Slayer. Crafted from a dragon’s claw.

‘Finally, I got it—the God-grade necklace.’

Its effects were as overwhelming as its rank suggested.

‘The stat and skill damage boosts are great, but the elemental resistance is the real game-changer.’

Even Ryu Min couldn’t dodge every attack.

If he ever got hit by an area-of-effect skill during a boss fight, things could turn ugly fast.

‘In those situations, the extra resistance will be invaluable.’

It was a satisfying haul—but the rewards weren’t over yet.

Condensed Ether, dragon scales, horns, and fangs.

Thanks to his high Luck stat, he had obtained a large number of miscellaneous materials.

Even if he didn’t know what they were for.

‘It’s not like I can recognize every material in existence.’

Hadn’t he received a pile of unknown materials when he last used the Infinite Material Pouch?

‘I don’t need Condensed Ether since I have no use for more God-grade items. As for these dragon-related materials… no idea where they’d be used.’

It was a bit frustrating, but at least he had something to work with—a blueprint.

A blueprint he had never seen before.

‘Death’s Aura? What’s this?’

[Blueprint: Death’s Aura]

Type: Consumable

Description: Contains six different crafting recipes for the Eternal-grade item Death’s Aura. It is recommended to take notes before using it.

Ryu Min’s eyes widened.

It mentioned a grade he had never encountered before.

‘Eternal grade?’

Even without knowing for sure, it had to be higher than God-grade.

After all, the description of Refined Ether had stated it could be used to craft items beyond God-grade.

‘Which means Refined Ether must be one of the required materials.’

Regardless, he had to craft it.

There was no downside to trying.

But before that…

Ryu Min turned his head.

He had to deal with the twenty-one pairs of eyes staring at him.

“Taking down a dragon in one hit…?”

“Th-That’s incredible, my friend.”

“Hey, how about working exclusively for our mercenary group? We’ll pay handsomely.”

Without hesitation, Ryu Min shook his head.

He had no intention of working under NPCs.

“Not interested. Just give me my reward.”

“Ahem, well, if you insist…”

Moments later, the dragon subjugation rewards were distributed.

[You have completed the Subjugation Quest!]

EXP: +2.38%

Gold: +100,000

The rewards were meager, but he accepted them for one reason—so the mercenaries would leave.

“We’ve given you the rewards, so we’ll be heading out.”

“I have some business to take care of. I’ll leave later.”

“Oh? Then take your time.”

The mercenaries departed, leaving Ryu Min alone in the cave.
