I Was Mistaken as a Genius Mage in a Game-Chapter 85
1 minute and 20 seconds.
In just 1 minute and 20 seconds since the being called the Black Star set foot on Valorand, the Great Monarch Ariel died.
The sound of the weapons, the screams of the soldiers, and the unpleasant roar of the bubbling flesh all died down as they watched her death.
At the same time as Ariel’s death, countless mutants and demons all stopped moving like puppets whose strings had snapped. The demons that had been flying in the sky slowly fell to the ground like airplanes that had lost their power, and the mutants that boasted large bodies just stood there like statues.
In the cold silence, the flesh torn into pieces, the mud rising like a fountain, and the red-hot leather clothes danced.
The Black Star’s eyes moved to find another prey.
“......You crazy!”
The first to break free from the silence was Raguel.
He had mostly finished recovering from the time Ariel was torn apart by the sword of the sword.
The monster spread its large wings to escape the cold, frozen battlefield.
Soon, a sharp silver object flew in, aiming for the monster’s face.
Raguel instinctively turned his head to the side. The arrow passed right in front of his nose.
“.......”
His gaze followed the path of the cold arrow. Where his gaze stopped, an elf was standing there, holding a longbow as big as his body. Raguel glared at the archer who had shot an arrow at him, as if he was dumbfounded.
Soon, deep anger settled over his expression.
The fear of death instantly covered the archer’s entire body.
The elf who had shot the arrow felt as if he and the great lord were the only ones left in this battlefield. In an instant, all the muscles in his body froze and he forgot to even breathe.
“Cheeky.......”
“Shoot!”
The moment Raguel gathered the pitch-black light at his fingertips, the green-skinned orc officer shouted loudly.
Soon, red and blue light descended on the battlefield. The wizards’ staffs and grimoires created fire, lightning, and sharp winds.
“All troops, allies! The battlefield has changed! Tie the overlord’s feet so he can’t leave!”
“......Tie him up? You, me?”
Raguel spread his large wings and faced the magic and arrows flying toward him head-on. The monster’s blood and skin were torn off, but the wounds were instantly healed.
The mud rose high again.
The soldiers raised their shields for the wizards.
Raguel slammed his shield head-on, as if it wasn’t funny, and soon the sound of steel tearing could be heard.
The soldiers holding the clashing shields were left without a trace. The shattered iron shards flew everywhere.
“Insolent brats.”
Raguel’s hand, covered in red blood, rushed toward the wizards’ necks.
The small dwarf rushed at the overlord with a hammer in both hands, but it was too late.
... ... No, I thought it was too late.
“Get your hands off me.”
Boom!
The hand reaching out to the wizards disappeared in an instant with an explosive sound.
“.......”
The swordsman’s pummel struck Raguel’s ribs, causing the overlord’s body to be thrown hundreds of meters away.
“There’s still Maltiel and Michael. Soldiers, focus on finding the location of the other two overlords. I’ll take care of Raguel.”
The blacksmith quickly ordered, shaking off the dirty flesh stuck to his pummel.
“Ah, yes! I understand.......”
Before the officers could even answer, the blacksmith kicked the floor and ran away.
“.......”
The wizards had expressions on their faces, as if they couldn’t understand what had just passed before their eyes. They didn’t even realize that they had just nearly died or that they had barely managed to save their lives.

‘... ... Reach that level?’
The white-haired boy who had been watching the blacksmith’s fight from a distance let out a hollow laugh.
The boy had become incomparably stronger than when he first opened his eyes to this world.
He had developed his own spells, gained some small insight into the study of magic, and acquired special artifacts such as the Red Crystal and the Staff of Dajin to enhance his power.
“Damn it.”
However, what gripped the boy’s heart at that moment was a sense of awe and helplessness.
The thought that no matter how hard he tried, he would never be able to reach that level inevitably entered his mind.
‘... ... No. Focus.’
Aren’t you watching the fight of a man who could be called the strongest in humanity right before your eyes? What you should do now is not to waste this time with stupid thoughts.
You had to somehow find what you could learn from the sword fight and make it your own.
‘... ... As soon as Ariel’s location was confirmed, you immediately changed your target and took out the sniper first. How can you make such a quick decision? Did you think of the scenario in advance? Or did he deliberately play with Raguel and induce Ariel to snipe?
The boy’s head quickly turned.
‘You change your judgment too quickly depending on the situation. Is it a difference in experience? Is it something you can learn and follow?’
Even though he thought it was difficult, the boy’s gaze never ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) left the swordsman.
‘How do you plan to deal with the other two great lords who are not visible on the battlefield right now? Are you focusing on the enemies in front of you for now? Or are you deliberately killing Raguel slowly this time and inducing the two great lords to reveal themselves... ... .’
“Huh.”
A black dot faintly appeared at the end of the boy’s vision as he focused on the swordsman’s movements.
The black dot that revealed its presence under the bright sunlight grew in size in an instant and soon began to take on the distinct form of a demon.
Pitch-black horns, red eyes, large wings.
The decisive reason why the boy was misunderstood as a genius wizard.
Overlord Malthael was flying at a tremendous speed with his wings folded.
“Oh, sleep.......”
Whoosh!
Malthael arrived before the boy could even get his bearings. The monster raised its sharp claws.
The compressed air exploded in all directions, bringing a large shockwave. Tinnitus filled his ears, and the soldiers rushed toward the Overlord who suddenly appeared at the back of the line with their swords and shields.
Boom!
The Overlord’s claws were blocked by a thin barrier. The spirit’s protection had once again saved the boy’s life.

“It’s been a while, you’ve become quite famous.”
“General!”
Rex, who was standing next to the boy, quickly raised his large axe and swung it at the Overlord’s neck. At that moment, Malthael’s pitch-black wings turned sharp like awls and extended toward Rex’s abdomen.
Rex didn't seem to have any intention of evading.
It seemed more important to somehow attack the overlord in front of him and protect the boy than to create a large hole in his stomach.
'The barrier will end soon. We need to use Bloom. Skip the spells and the chanting of the magic name... ... .'
"Grisha!"
As the boy was trying to quickly convert the magic power in his body into electricity, Bell's voice came to his ear.
"......And thus, you protect us!"
Grisha's urgent prayer followed.
Under the blue shield, another layer of yellow shield spread out.
Kang!
Grisha seemed to have put the same kind of shield on Rex while putting the shield on the boy.
The sharply slashed wings collided with the yellow shield and were crushed, and Rex's huge axe was still flying towards Malthael's neck.
“......Your blades will cast out darkness and bring light. Today, I will swing the sword that will one day rust away with glory.”
Grisha did not stop praying.
The bright yellow light that protected Rex was absorbed by the giant axe blade he was swinging.
The light particles gathered at the tip of the eerily sharpened blade began to vibrate minutely, like a chainsaw. When Rex’s axe finally touched Malthael’s neck, the tough and hard skin of the overlord split open like tofu.
“Tsk.”
Malthael did not scream even after his throat was cut off.
With a click of his tongue, a new body grew from his head, and Rex continued to swing his brightly shining axe as if he would not miss the gap.
“Well, honestly, I didn’t expect it...... but seeing it up close, I feel like it’s a shame.”
Malthael said this while avoiding Rex’s shining axe.
The surrounding wizards and archers poured their firepower towards the flying overlord with a smirk on their faces. The infantrymen quickly formed a line while raising their shields high in response.
‘Wait.’
The boy felt something strange as he looked at the backs of the soldiers filling his eyes. The soldiers who had rushed to protect him were clearly the infantrymen guarding Grisha and Bell.
‘Then who are Bell and Grisha... ... .’
“I got them.”
The answer to the boy’s cold question was given by the overlord Michael.
“.......”
Bell quickly turned his head to follow the voice heard behind him. There was a blue-skinned monster that had just crawled out of the ground.
The monster was holding a pitch-black light in its hand.
“Isn’t this a bad move considering we’re on the edge of a cliff?”
Malthael, who had risen high into the sky, looked down at everything with a sinister smile.
For the Allied Forces, the boy was an important figure who could not afford to lose his life no matter what. That’s why Bell had ordered his and Grisha’s escort troops to rush to protect the boy if necessary.
That order proved to be a self-destructive measure.
Even the soldiers who were supposed to protect Bell and Grisha left their formation to respond to the overlord’s surprise attack and rushed to the boy. As a result, the absurd situation unfolded where the magician and priest were completely exposed to the enemy’s surprise attack.
“Now, the rest is completely unknown.”
This one move that Malthael threw with everything on the line was enough to put a hole in the trap Bell had set up.
