The Game of the Greatest Black Mage-Chapter 330

Chapter 330

So this was Hindel Village.

Seonghyun’s face crumpled at the bitterness.

But the soldiers, who mistook it for him being scared by the news of the important people’s procession, laughed and left the place.

He didn't know how they had found this place.

But since they too were transcendents.

Hadn't they noticed it to some extent and taken their positions?

Most of all.

-We were only concerned with the Demon Archduke back then.

Just in case, the minimum number of people to look after the children.

So he thought that Will and a few monarchs would be enough and had stationed them here.

But he couldn't have known that the Rieskan Kingdom would completely draw its sword and put forward the eradication of the Demon King.

No matter how powerful Helena was, it was a strategy devised by transcendents along with the Demon Archduke.

And Helena had also shown confidence that it would be fine even if it were a trap.

But no one could have imagined it would turn out like this.

-And the archduke who appeared at that time was not the only one.

The archduke who joined hands with the Sword Saint, who was injured by Helena, was on the verge of death.

He urgently requested cooperation from the other archdukes, and the only three archdukes in the demon world united.

Of course.

-I was going to kill all three, but I only killed two, and that injured one ran away, so I was chasing him when I came back here.

With that story, Seonghyun came to know the full account of the incident.

He didn't know he would experience this directly.

Should I just stay still?

No, even if I try to do something.

It is a future that has already passed.

Of course, he knew that the children would not die.

‘Helena, your return here means you'll stop it, right?’

The problem was that Helena would eventually sacrifice herself and die here.

Only now did he understand why this rank was Almighty.

Since he could directly witness the death of Helena, who could be called a fragment of a myth.

Of course, it wouldn't make sense if it wasn't an Almighty rank.

Seonghyun thought so and sighed.

But Seonghyun's eyes widened and he muttered.

“Still, let's try to stop it if we can.”

It wasn't a world limited by levels.

He didn't know how much they could stop.

He wasn't even level 300 yet.

But both Barbaros and Seonghyun had power close to level 300.

Most of all, Will was the same.

Weren't they treated as those who had begun to step into transcendence, or as mature monarchs?

Still, they had the power to do something about some of the decent magic tower masters or knight commanders.

You can't change the past?

Well, that's a matter of course.

But.

‘Just standing by and watching when I know is not my style.’

He would try to change it somehow.

Most of all, Seonghyun wasn't alone, was he?

Realizing that there were no watching eyes around, he opened the underworld and secretly summoned his retainers.

As they all came out in stealth.

Seonghyun looked at them and said.

“Let’s stop it as much as we can.”

At his quite determined words, Helena, as well as Fiora, Leonik, and Baltar, who knew the future, had gloomy expressions.

But rather.

“This will be fun.”

Helena said with a bright smile.

Seeing that, the others also put on bright expressions and said.

-I, I think it’s a good idea!

-Hahahaha!!! As expected of our lord!!! Defying fate!!!

-Kehahaha!!! Let’s do as much as we can!!!

The others also shouted so and decided to lend their strength to Seonghyun.

And Seonghyun, perhaps feeling energized, nodded his head.

He thought that nothing would change even if he did his best here.

And he wasn't unaware that it was merely for self-satisfaction.

But he wanted to do it.

All the retainers responded to Seonghyun’s will.

‘Let them come if they dare.’

The soldiers were patrolling the area around the village.

And the knights in charge of those soldiers shouted at them rather strictly.

“Report any unusual findings at any time!”

“Don’t hide anything!!!”

Sharp words and voices.

But the soldiers all followed the orders as if they understood.

They had been told that high-ranking people would be visiting.

And the reason was the Demon King.

There had been intelligence that the Demon King was seen in this area.

So it was natural to be on edge.

All the soldiers understood and were reporting even the slightest unusual findings immediately and repeatedly patrolling.

They were looking around to see if there were any suspicious people.

Just then.

A soldier said to the knight commander.

“I met a traveler a little while ago.”

“Huuuum, a traveler. Well, there have always been many travelers in this area.”

Seeing that he was called a traveler, he must have been an unremarkable person.

Even a soldier could tell that much.

Still, would it have been better to detain him?

He might have been in disguise.

The knight thought so and asked again.

“Where did you meet that traveler?”

“I met him in the flower garden at the northern end of the village.”

“I see. I’ll have to search that place.”

“Yes! Understood!”

It’s not like he couldn’t have disguised himself as a traveler.

Just in case, the knight said so.

Just as the soldiers were about to prepare.

If he had really been in disguise, there was no way the soldiers would have recognized him.

The knight stopped the soldiers.

And then.

“The knights will go. You all, patrol the other villages.”

“Yes!”

As the knight commander said so, the soldiers bowed their heads and hurriedly ran off.

And the knight commander, no longer paying attention to such soldiers, stroked his bushy beard and muttered.

‘Huuuum, a traveler.’

He still thought it wasn't a big deal.

But just in case.

In times like these, it was right to handle things with caution.

The knight commander, accompanied by other knights, shouted.

“We’re going to the north of the village.”

“Yes!!!”

Thus, the knight order that had been staying in Aur Village began to gather.

They headed to the flower garden north of the village.

And the villagers who were watching it were trembling as they looked at the knights.

1.

After asking his retainers to scout the surrounding area, Seonghyun returned to the barrier.

He had repeatedly checked for any tails, so of course, no one was following him.

The reason he had returned was to report what had just happened.

Will’s and Barbaros’s expressions became quite serious when they heard Seonghyun’s story.

Hearing about the knights who would be here and the magic tower masters who would soon arrive, Will and Barbaros asked seriously.

“Could this place have been discovered already?”

“I think we have to assume so……”

As Barbaros said that.

Will bit his lip as if to crush it.

To think that the Rieskan Kingdom would bare its teeth so openly like this.

It was also partly due to the fact that Helena’s side was not interested in the kingdom or this continent.

Should it be called a result born from complacency and distraction due to the Archduke?

Like a noose tightening bit by bit.

He felt as if the scope was gradually shrinking.

Barbaros, meanwhile, thought that it wasn't an Almighty rank for nothing.

To the point where he wondered if an average user would have failed before even getting this far.

That’s why Seonghyun looked at Will and Barbaros and said.

“First, I told the retainers to scout the area……”

As he was speaking.

A communication from Helena connected.

-The knights are heading your way.

At those words, Seonghyun frowned.

Already?

He had that thought, but then he remembered that he had spoken with the soldiers there and ground his teeth.

So it has spread this far because of that.

As soon as he realized, Seonghyun said.

“You two, stay here. They say the knights have come.”

“A, already!?”

“……That’s fast. Are you going to take care of them?”

Seonghyun shook his head at those words.

However.

“First, I think I need to get them as far away from here as possible.”

He said it was a knight order.

There probably aren't any transcendents, right?

As Seonghyun said that inwardly.

Helena affirmed it.

-Yes, there are no transcendents.

If so, he might be able to disguise himself as a soldier and let it slide.

Afterward, he asked Helena for the arrival time of the knights and quickly teleported to that vicinity.

Riding the darkness, he moved there more stealthily than anything else.[1]

He used the darkness again to hide his power and any revealed aspects as much as possible.

He looked no different from any other traveler.

It would be hard for anyone less than a decent monarch, no, a transcendent to recognize him.

Feeling somewhat relieved, Seonghyun was distinguishing herbs in the flower garden.

Not long after, the knight order stormed in.

Heeeigh!

Pudeureuk!

The knight order burst out as several warhorses cried out.

Seeing them, Seonghyun’s eyes naturally widened, and he looked at them.

As if he had never seen a knight order in his life.

And as he prostrated himself, trembling and acting.

The knight commander looked at Seonghyun and nodded his head without much suspicion.

“Are you the traveler the soldiers spoke of?”

At the knight commander’s coercive question, Seonghyun began to act, trembling all over.

“Y, yes, that’s right.”

As he spoke with a slightly trembling and fear-filled voice.

The knight commander also seemed to be somewhat deceived and didn't show much interest.

But he had to handle it with caution.

As the knight commander called Seonghyun like that.

“Come here.”

“Y, yes. Ah, I understand.”

“Huuuum.”

Seonghyun approached, trying to get on his good side.

Of course, he did not try to attack or fight.

The knight order before him was quite strong.

But even if the entire knight order rushed at him, Seonghyun could win.

But if he fought, rumors would surely spread that someone connected to the Demon King was here.

Just as he was trying to be as quiet as possible.

The knight commander suddenly drew his sword.

‘Was I found out?’

‘What should I do if I was found out?’

‘Should I counterattack?’

The moment he had that thought.

He could see the knight commander quickly swinging his sword.

And seeing that, Seonghyun’s eyes flashed for a moment.

Hwoooook!

A sword strike too slow and weak to have been from someone who had discovered something.

So he realized and stayed still.

The sword stopped right in front of Seonghyun’s neck.

And at that moment, Seonghyun's masterful acting continued.

“Ugh!”

As if reacting belatedly after the sword had stopped, he was startled and sat down on the spot, half a beat late.

The knight commander nodded his head as if he were certain.

And Seonghyun, who was prostrated and trembling before the knight commander, said.

“P, please spare me!”

Even the desperate plea to spare his life.

It was an almost perfect performance.

And at that perfect performance, the knight commander also nodded his head and said.

“I was testing to see if you were a spy, so do not worry. Prepare to leave! There is nothing in this village.”

Just as the knight commander said so and was about to turn his horse.

A gloomy energy arose in the air from somewhere.

An energy that seemed to resemble the dark night sky.

But it was an energy like the higher and deeper universe itself.

And seeing that, Seonghyun’s pupils trembled slightly.

It wasn't an act.

At the familiar energy, Seonghyun thought, 'no way,' and looked there.

As space was cut and the billowing energy of the galaxy surged, it instantly spread as if to dominate the surroundings.​

Kuuuung!

“Keoheok!”

“Uwaaak!!!”

The knight order was no exception.

A fierce gravity pressed down on everyone.​

And a man with dead eyes walked silently out of the galaxy portal.

It was a face that Seonghyun knew well.

But with a gaunt face and disheveled hair.

As he trembled at the quite different face and atmosphere.

He looked at Seonghyun and asked.

“Who are you to possess the energy of darkness?”

“……”

With the sound of swallowing saliva, Seonghyun looked at him and thought.

‘Hindel.’

It was the second time he had met Hindel in the past.
