The Game of the Greatest Black Mage-Chapter 321

Chapter 321

[You have completed the Legendary rank story, 『The Wandering Youth's Revenge』.]

[A reward is given.]

[Due to the hidden Almighty quest, 『Succession of the Necromancer Lord』, you have obtained a clue about the 『Necromancer Lord』.]

[Experience points are converted and transformed into a clue for the 『Necromancer Lord』.]

[You have fulfilled the recommended reading amount for the Legendary rank library.]

[You meet the conditions for the Almighty rank library.]

[From now on, you can enter the Almighty rank library.]

‘Oh.’

It was a bit disappointing that he didn't get any experience points.

But well, he could just get new experience points.

Right now, the succession of the Necromancer Lord was more important.

Indeed, since he had witnessed the moment Will Baghdad awakened as the Necromancer Lord.

It was reasonable to get a clue.

As Seonghyun looked at it with a satisfied smile.

He was able to come out of the book with Barbaros.

“Phew. That was quite long.”

“Tell me about it.”

There was still quite a lot of playtime left, more than he thought.

It was just a little past noon.

However, both Seonghyun and Barbaros shook their heads as if they were tired.

Seonghyun had accumulated considerable fatigue while dealing with the high-rank demon Sermagra, but Barbaros was no different.

Even just the dozens of low-rank demons that swarmed him were not easy opponents.

Considering that, it was understandable that both were soaked in fatigue.

Seonghyun noticed this and asked Barbaros.

“Should we call it a day?”

“Ah...”

Barbaros’s expression looked full of disappointment.

But he nodded his head as if he had no choice.

“Yes, I think we should. Hah... It was such a fun story that I want to go to the next one right away, but it can't be helped.”

The next rank was none other than the Almighty rank.​ 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Honestly, even Legendary was this hard.

He couldn't even imagine what Almighty would be like.

So Barbaros had no choice but to agree to save it for next time.

Because it was impossible for them to do the next quest in their exhausted state.

Hearing Barbaros's words, Seonghyun also nodded and said.

“You’ve worked hard. Then I'll see you tomorrow at 9 AM Korean time.”

“Yes! Sounds good! You worked hard too, Seonghyun! Wow, seriously, the aftermath of the fight with the high-rank demon reached all the way to where we were, you know?”

At Barbaros’s compliment, Seonghyun expressed his thanks with a slightly embarrassed, awkward smile.

“Ah... thank you.”

“See you tomorrow then.”

“Yes, take care.”

After exchanging goodbyes with Barbaros, Seonghyun logged out and came outside.

He didn't even look at the farewell message and popped right out, as if he were tired.

It wasn't as hard as the battle with the Sword Saint, but.

Still, it wasn't easy by any means.

‘Phew.’

It could truly be said that he had barely won.

If he hadn't realized the power of the Lord of Terror at the last moment and thought of swapping the power of terror with the powers of his other lords, he could have lost.

He was quite mentally exhausted.

Because he had to constantly think even while fighting.

As Seonghyun, feeling such fatigue, came outside, the area outside his room was quite quiet as it was not long after lunch.

Since he usually skipped lunch when he played games anyway.

Seonghyun felt tired before he felt hungry and lay down on the bed.

‘Let’s rest a bit today.’

He had obtained a lot of information and fought a lot.

He needed to rest a bit.

As Seonghyun lay down on the bed.

Not long after, Seonghyun fell asleep with the sound of snoring.

9.

Assistant Manager Lee Wonsong and Associate Oh Jinhyeok, who had been watching Seonghyun's battle, couldn't help but be amazed and click their tongues.

He had single-handedly taken care of a hidden raid boss whose name was colored black.

In other words.

“If he can already overcome a level difference of 100, doesn't that mean he's a powerhouse on the level of a single ranker???”

At Associate Oh Jinhyeok's words, Assistant Manager Lee Wonsong looked at him as if he had heard something stupid.

From level 300 onwards, the level limit disappears anyway.

So even the double rankers were already tackling the 400s, having surpassed the 300s, so to say that Seonghyun had the power of a single ranker was a stupid thing to say.

But for some reason?

Lee Wonsong couldn't bring himself to refute Oh Jinhyeok's words and quietly fell into thought.

The Sermagra he had just shown had certainly displayed power at the level of a double ranker, if not a single ranker.

A boss that would take at least three double rankers to defeat.

But to think that Seonghyun, who was just entering his 240s, had caught such a boss.

Originally, the scenario was to escape from that mine as quickly as possible while protecting Will.

But to think he would clear it with a frontal assault.

Assistant Manager Lee Wonsong was also surprised to see that.

As Seonghyun had seized victory against the high-rank demon Sermagra with his tremendous skill.

“Well, it is amazing.”

“Right, right? Kheu-heu-heu, the afterglow still remains.”

“He really is good at fighting.”

“That will probably be made into a video soon too, right?”

“Absolutely.”

Assistant Manager Lee Wonsong, who used to not be able to leave Seonghyun alone, was now speaking like that as if he had become a fan, and as the excited Associate Oh Jinhyeok was talking, he turned his head at the presence he felt from behind.

“H-heek!?”

He shouted as if surprised.

At Associate Oh Jinhyeok's reaction, Lee Wonsong asked what was wrong and turned his head as well.

“What’s wro... huh?”

While the two were chattering, one person had been watching them from behind with witch-like eyes.

The team leader of the User Management Team, Team Leader Jung Jihye, was looking at the two.

“Assistant Manager Lee Wonsong, Associate Oh Jinhyeok, what are you two doing?”

At the stiff and frosty voice.

Both of them flinched and gulped.

However, Team Leader Jung Jihye was glaring more at Assistant Manager Lee Wonsong than at Associate Oh Jinhyeok.

Associate Oh Jinhyeok gets scolded a lot anyway.

It was understandable.

Besides, isn't he still an associate?

It's possible if he doesn't know better.

But Assistant Manager Lee Wonsong shouldn't be like that.

She looked at Assistant Manager Lee Wonsong with such a gaze.

There are often people who are time thieves.

But it was obvious he had wasted too much time.

Assistant Manager Lee Wonsong also spoke quickly as if he had no excuse.

“I-I’m sorry. I-I’ll get to work right now.”

“Hooo, yes, User Seonghyun is important, but don't let your work fall behind.”

Team Leader Jung Jihye just gave a warning and returned to her seat as if to move on.

Afterward, Assistant Manager Lee Wonsong and Associate Oh Jinhyeok breathed a sigh of relief and shook their heads.

“I thought we were in big trouble.”

“...I know, right. Let’s just get to work.”

“Yep!”

While the two were looking at other users to get back to work.

Team Leader Jung Jihye returned to her seat and let out a sigh.

‘I wonder when the video will be uploaded...’

Thinking that to herself.

As she entered the Rapid Guild’s MeTube channel.

She saw Seonghyun's newly uploaded video and smiled brightly.

‘I’ll just watch this and then get to work.’

Team Leader Jung Jihye, who was so brazenly slacking off, was also an office worker.

0.

Hoo-woong---.

Woo-woong---.

At the repetitive vibration sound, Seonghyun frowned and got up from his seat.

He got up, thinking it was his cell phone.

He could see the phone vibrating continuously.

Wondering who it was, he picked up the phone in a sleepy state.

A familiar name was visible.

[Lee Geondong]

‘Geondong?’

Why is he calling me all of a sudden?

With that thought, he answered the phone.

[Oh? He finally picked up.]

“...?”

As Seonghyun, who was slowly waking up at Geondong’s abrupt words, was puzzled.

Not long after, he could hear a clamor over the receiver.

[Oh? Seonghyun???]

[What'd he say? Is he coming?]

[Hey, he hasn't said anything yet. Hey, hey, Seonghyun.]

Chaotic voices.

But since they were all familiar voices, Seonghyun chuckled upon hearing them.

It had been a while since he heard their voices.

Well, they were all familiar voices.

They were the voices of his friends from middle school, like Lee Geondong.​

Wang Chanwoo and Kim Youngmin.

Friends he had often hung out with from middle school to high school.​

Of course, that continued into college too.

Since Seonghyun was the last to be discharged from the military.

They hadn't met often recently.

“Uh huh, I was taking a nap and just woke up.”

[Ah? You’re sleeping at this hour???]

“Yeah, I was a bit tired, so I logged out early and was sleeping.”

Seonghyun glanced at the time and saw it wasn't even 5 PM yet.

Around 4:40 PM?

Why were they all gathered before it was even evening.

He chuckled at the thought.

Lee Geondong asked Seonghyun first.

“So you’re calling me to come since you’re all gathered?”

[Kya, as expected of Seonghyun, you’re quick on the uptake. So can you come?]

“Yeah, I’ll head out. Send me the location.”

[Okay, I’ll send you the location! Come quickly!]

[Oh!? Seonghyun’s coming?]

[Kya!!! We’re gonna see a famous star!!!]

[Ah damn it, you guys are so loud, call him yourselves, why are you making a fuss at me!]

[Seonghyun, hurry up and come!!!]

[I’ve prepared paper for your autograph, so just come ready to sign!!]

A commotion like a storm had passed swept through.

As the call ended, Seonghyun let out a chuckle.

He thought about just heading out as he was.

But looking at his messy hair and face, he thought it would be better to wash up.

They told him to come quickly, but they would probably understand this much.

As Seonghyun thought that and went out to the living room.

He made eye contact with his mother, Lee Nakyeong, who was just about to prepare dinner.

“Oh my~? Seonghyun, are you going out~?”

His mother, Lee Nakyeong, noticed right away, probably having heard the sound of him talking on the phone from his room.

Seonghyun said to his mother.

“Yes, my friends asked me to come out, so I think I’ll go out and eat too.”

“Oh my~? What a surprise~ I see~ You can come home late~”

“Haha... yes.”

Was she that glad that her son, who was always at home, was going out?

His mother, Lee Nakyeong, bantered, saying he could come home late.

It wasn't that he didn't know her feelings, so Seonghyun answered awkwardly and went to wash up.

And as Seonghyun went in to wash up, his mother, Lee Nakyeong, muttered as if a little disappointed.

“And here I thought it was a date with that young lady~”

She chattered on like that, but Seonghyun, who had gone in to wash up, naturally didn't hear.

In any case, thanks to his nap, Seonghyun's fatigue seemed to have been completely relieved.

He could feel the last remaining fatigue washing away as he washed up, and after coming out, he applied lotion and dried his hair.

Still, it had been two months since his discharge, so he was satisfied to see that his hair had grown quite a bit, and after changing his clothes, he went into his room and checked his phone.

[Lee Geondong - Come to Seongsan Galbi! We'll be waiting at the cafe in front! We're not drinking, so you can probably bring your car? Youngmin brought his car too.]

He chuckled at the message from Geondong.

He had just bought a car too.

Seonghyun sent a message saying he understood, changed his clothes, and went out to the parking lot, getting into the luscious red Ferrari Roma, an officially certified used car from Ferrari that he had bought a few days ago.

He had thought about buying a sports car.

But his sister, Yoo Mina, had recommended the Roma, saying he should have at least one sedan-type car.

He hadn't driven it since he bought it.

But he certainly liked the elegant and beautiful curved exterior.

As he started the engine.

U-reu-reu-reu-reu---!

The exhaust sound, which was not as loud as he thought and even felt quite beautiful, greeted Seonghyun.

And Seonghyun was able to drive off in a good mood.
