The Game of the Greatest Black Mage-Chapter 326

Chapter 326

He thought it was a sweet deal, but it turned out it wasn't.

No, more than that, a hundred thousand soldiers suddenly appeared?

At that moment, Baron Kalgrimir wondered if a neighboring territory had attacked.

But that couldn't be it either.

The guys nearby didn't even use undead, and their number of soldiers barely exceeded ten thousand, let alone a hundred thousand.

No matter how many soldiers from nearby territories gathered, all the territories around Baron Kalgrimir's were also baronies.

He couldn't understand.

The noble-ranked demons here in this most remote region were nothing but rabble.

But then.

‘Can a hundred thousand cross through the loophole?’

No way.

If someone crossed over, it would take several hours before anyone else could cross again.

And the number of people who could cross at once was also limited.

That's why it was a strategy that the Archduke would have thought he had used his head well for.

Baron Kalgrimir couldn't help but be bewildered since he didn't know the circumstances.

There was no way he could figure it out by wracking his small brain anyway.

Perhaps realizing that.

Or perhaps thinking that he had to deal with it somehow.

Since it had already happened.

He went outside to deal with it.

“Haa.”

And a short exclamation escaped him.

An immense number of undead, so many that he wondered if even he, who had risen to the rank of baron, could possess such a number.

And those things were flocking to one place and clinging to the castle walls.

Watching them, Baron Kalgrimir frowned.

It seemed that each one was a pretty decent undead.

Ten of those undead could face one low-ranking demon.

But the number of low-ranking demons here was only about 2,000.

So it was natural that they couldn't stop them with just low-ranking demons.

Thus, high-rank demons were also summoned, and two of them emerged.

And 200 mid-ranking demons also came out.

The moment almost all their forces were revealed to somehow stop those undead.

Baron Kalgrimir could feel something strange.

“……A feint?”

He wondered if it was a feint, pretending to attack here to aim for another side, but that couldn't be.

Where in the world would anyone use a hundred thousand undead for a feint?

Anyone would think that the hundred thousand undead were the main force.

As long as the high-rank demons had come out, he was confident that he didn't need to step forward, and just as Baron Kalgrimir turned to leave his spot.

Feeling a terribly strange energy, Baron Kalgrimir turned back to check.

A legion of a hundred thousand undead.

From the undead clinging to the castle walls, a thick, green mist arose, and at the same time, sparks began to spread around them and ignite.

“N, no……”

The moment Baron Kalgrimir was about to shout something.

A fierce bombardment raged.

Tukwaaaaaaaaaaah---!

The heavens and the earth shook, and a fierce heat and explosion that bleached the world.

It couldn't do anything to Baron Kalgrimir, who was far away.

But over half of the low-ranking demons and all of the mid-ranking demons near the castle wall were caught in it.

And most of all.

Places were burning with crackling sounds due to the intense heat.

And through it, the spot where the castle wall, which had been blocking the view until just a moment ago, should have been, was now coolly and clearly blown open.

“N, nooooooooooooo!!!”

How did he receive this castle!!!

For it to be breached so vainly!!!

More than half of the low-ranking demons were caught and died, and all of the mid-ranking demons were caught in the explosion and died out.

But more than that, Baron Kalgrimir screamed as he looked at his castle wall.

That's why, if he had any sense left in this state, he would have remembered the essence and gone to protect it just in case.

But swallowed by his demon-like greed, he spread his wings from that spot and flew up into the sky.

And where was the culprit of this place?

He set out to find the master of the undead and finally found him.

“High-rank demons!!! Come to me!!! I won't be satisfied until I tear those bastards, who wouldn't be enough even if ground up and drunk, to shreds!!!”

“Yes!”

“We shall attend you!!!”

Shouting so, the high-rank demons also followed Baron Kalgrimir and headed there, and they rushed like a shot towards the one who was not too far from the castle.

As Baron Kalgrimir and the two high-rank demons left the castle.

As he charged, Baron Kalgrimir could see Seonghyun smiling as he watched him charge, and seeing that, he quickly wracked his brain.

Then, he extended his hand towards the high-rank demons.

The two high-rank demons were instantly flung away.

It seemed like Baron Kalgrimir was suddenly attacking them.

But the moment they were flung away.

An ashen barrier spread out around them, and if Baron Kalgrimir hadn't pushed the high-rank demons away, they would have surely been trapped as well, but thanks to Baron Kalgrimir, they were able to avoid touching the barrier.

And watching that, Seonghyun smacked his lips as if it were a little regrettable.

“Ssssp, what a shame.”

Still, he had done his part.

Wouldn't they be able to handle two high-rank demons somehow?

Thinking so, Seonghyun looked at Baron Kalgrimir, who was still floating in the air.

And Baron Kalgrimir,

Tukwaaaaaaaaaaah! 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

A fierce heat and explosion that shook the heavens and earth and bleached the world.

It couldn't do anything to Baron Kalgrimir, who was far away.

But over half of the low-ranking demons and all of the mid-ranking demons near the castle walls were caught up in it.

And most of all.

Places were crackling and burning from the intense heat.

And through them, the spot where the castle wall, which had been blocking the view until just a moment ago, should have been, was now wide open.

“N, nooooooo!!!”

A castle that was bestowed upon him!!!

To be breached so futilely!!!

More than half of the low-ranking demons were caught up and died, and all of the mid-ranking demons were caught in the explosion and perished.

But more than that, Baron Kalgrimir screamed as he looked at his castle walls.

That's why if he had any sense left in this state, he would have remembered the essence and gone to protect it just in case.

But swallowed by his demon-like greed, he spread his wings there and flew up into the sky.

And where was the culprit of this?

He went in search of the master of the undead and finally found him.

“High-rank demons!!! Come to me!!! Tearing that bastard to shreds, who wouldn’t even be satisfying to grind up and drink, will finally satisfy me!!!”

“Yes!”

“We shall attend you!!!”

Shouting so, the high-rank demons also followed Baron Kalgrimir and headed there, rushing like an arrow towards the one who was not too far from the castle.

As Baron Kalgrimir and the two high-rank demons left the castle.

At that moment, the rushing Baron Kalgrimir could see Seonghyun smiling as he watched him charge, and seeing that, he quickly racked his brain.

Then he stretched his hand towards the high-rank demons.

In an instant, the two high-rank demons were thrown back.

It was Baron Kalgrimir, who seemed to be attacking suddenly.

But the moment they were thrown back.

An ashen barrier spread out around them, and if Baron Kalgrimir hadn't pushed the high-rank demons away, they surely would have been trapped as well, but thanks to Baron Kalgrimir, they were able to avoid touching the barrier.

And seeing that, Seonghyun clicked his tongue as if it were a bit of a pity.

“Tsk, what a shame.”

Still, he had done his part.

Wouldn't the two high-rank ones be able to handle it somehow?

Thinking so, Seonghyun looked at Baron Kalgrimir, who was still floating in the air.

And Baron Kalgrimir, with his veins bulging as if he wanted to tear Seonghyun to shreds, said.

“I’ll tear you to pieces.”

“Huuuu, scary.”

Seonghyun said, smiling brightly.

Baron Kalgrimir crumpled his face and was about to give an order to the high-rank demons outside the barrier.

But perhaps judging that it would be difficult to break the barrier in a short time, the high-rank demons disappeared from the spot.

Seonghyun was disappointed to see the two high-rank demons disappear like that.

But it couldn't be helped.

Not every plan can be perfect.

Afterward, Seonghyun.

“Shall we play?”

Said so and drew his sword.

Looking at Seonghyun, Baron Kalgrimir said resentfully.

“You’d do well to stop your games.”

When Baron Kalgrimir, who had shouted fiercely, disappeared and reached Seonghyun in an instant.

With incredible speed and the resulting fierce impact, the ground was instantly destroyed, devastating the surroundings.

And at the end of it, Seonghyun's sword, which was taking the impact, trembled.

Seonghyun tilted his head and muttered.

“……This is……”

At those words, Helena, who appeared beside him, smiled brightly and said.

“It seems more manageable than you thought, doesn't it?”

“Yeah, thinking about Sermagra, there isn’t much of a difference……”

Seeing the two of them speaking so, Baron Kalgrimir unleashed his demonic energy and shouted.

“I’ll tear you to pieces!!!”

“Try it, if you can.”

“But you can’t.”

As Seonghyun and Helena shouted teasingly.

Baron Kalgrimir’s demonic energy exploded and quickly took over the surroundings.

5.

A rather huge castle.

But with one of its walls crumbled, it looked quite shabby.

And the remaining undead were still invading it, and the remaining low-ranking demons were busy trying to stop them.

“B, block them!!!”

“Damn it!!!”

“They’re too strong for just undead!!!”

“C-crazy, how are they so strong!!!”

There were also undead who showed outstanding aspects, using skills in a way uncharacteristic of undead.

The low-ranking demons stood no chance.

They were too outnumbered, and too outmatched in strategy.

And there were four shadows infiltrating that chaotic place.

The shadows leaped over the opposite wall, not the crumbled one, and infiltrated the castle.

As they did, they whispered among themselves.

“Huu, he’s really chasing after him.”

“It’s a good thing the baron is stupid.”

“He doesn't seem very smart.”

“That’s a relief, at least.”

Since all the demons in the castle were already gone.

No one reacted even if they chattered.

As the party was talking like that.

“Then let’s hurry up, take care of it, and join them.”

At Barbaros’s final words, everyone nodded in agreement.

Seonghyun had decided to sacrifice himself.

But their mission was to break the essence, after all.

As they infiltrated like that.

Things couldn't have been easier from then on.

The 200 mid-ranking demons, who had been a bit of a worry, had just been caught in the bombardment and died.

Who would have thought that he would have taken the high-rank demons with him to go after Seonghyun?

Of course, they were a little worried about Seonghyun, but if they all prepared quickly, wouldn't it be alright?

The plan was to destroy the essence with this feint, and then have Seonghyun escape from the baron and the two high-rank demons.

He had said he was confident in his escape, at least.

They had to destroy the essence as quickly as possible.

That's why they were moving quickly and penetrating the central part where the essence was likely to be.

Something was felt flying from afar, and soon feeling something strange, they tried to quickly infiltrate the central part.

Then, something appeared, breaking through the wall.

“……It was real.”

“Haa. They looked down on us too much.”

A demon with a huge build and another demon with a slender, feminine feel suddenly appeared.

And the party, feeling the aura of the two, muttered.

“……I thought it was too easy for some reason.”

“……Indeed, it was.”

“Two of them……”

“Huuuuumm.”

Briscia and Stoneheart frowned as if in trouble, and Will and Barbaros were the same.

Judging by their auras, they were no ordinary high-rank demons.

That's why he wondered if they had failed.

The high-rank demons were not easy opponents to face, even if they split into two groups.

Most of all, the pressing time was the biggest problem.

If they were delayed here, Seonghyun could die first.

They had to finish as quickly as possible.

Then, Will stepped forward first.

“I will tie one of them down. The three of you, please take care of the other one quickly and help me.”

He said so, and just as Briscia and Stoneheart were about to stop him.

From Will’s heart, over a thousand spirits burst out and took over the surroundings.

Some of the spirits even clumped together and exuded an unusual momentum, and seeing that, the party thought that maybe it wasn't a lost cause after all.

Will said to his companions.

“……It’s not a grand army of a hundred thousand like Seonghyun-nim's, but this much is possible……”

As he said that, the thousands of spirits clumped into three, and each one was exuding an unusual energy.

The high-rank demons also frowned as they saw him.

They tried to react quickly.

But the three spirits, combined from thousands, moved faster towards the huge high-rank demon.

They flew towards the huge high-rank demon, and the battle began as the tattered claws of the spirits were swung sharply at the high-rank demon.

The slender high-rank demon soon drew its sword, and the barbarian Stoneheart blocked its path with a shield made of a huge rock.

And the high-rank demon, seeing that, drew its sword as if it were ridiculous and tried to cut the shield in half.

Kagagagagak!

“……!!!”

The shield was so hard that it wasn't cut.

On the contrary, he could feel his hand tingling from the repulsive force.

And the high-rank demon facing the three spirits was thinking something similar.

‘This isn’t as easy as I thought.’

As he was thinking that.

Barbaros’s eyes shone as he began to chant.
