The Game of the Greatest Black Mage-Chapter 331

Chapter 331

Hindel, exuding a gloomy aura, was vastly different from the Hindel Seonghyun had met before.

Faced with overwhelming gravity, Seonghyun confronted Hindel without even being able to lift his head.

He could still escape.

But it felt like the very fact that he could escape was a trap.

And rather, he could feel it.

The moment he moved from this spot.

‘I will be cut.’

Feeling that, Seonghyun trembled.

Now he knew well why Hindel was acting like that.

Because his only flesh and blood, his younger sibling, was killed by a demonic sword.

Of course, that wouldn't be the only reason he became like that.

But wouldn't he have slowly fallen like that since then?

Because Seonghyun knew that, he couldn't move rashly.

It was certain he would die the moment he moved.

If that happened, the mission would fail.

And.

‘It seems I haven't been caught right now.’

However, it was clear that Helena's barrier would be discovered quickly.

That’s why.

He had to rack his brain quickly.

Since he was caught possessing the energy of darkness.

An excuse to cover that.

Many things flashed through his mind in an instant.

It was 300 years after Will made a name for himself as the Necromancer Lord.

That meant Hindel had also lived for over 300 years.

If the incident at the mine was 300 years ago, that is.

And what if the Valley of Despair incident happened around a similar time?

As Seonghyun’s eyes flashed at that moment and he released the dark energy to quickly reveal his aura, Hindel’s expression, whose eyes had twitched wondering if he was trying to fight, distorted slightly.

He thought it was the energy of darkness.

But it was not simple darkness.

And there was no way Hindel wouldn't recognize it.

“...Galaxy Sword Dance?”

“...Yes, that is correct.”

“...So you’re the guy who’s been impersonating my disciple.”

His tone was also vastly different from the Hindel of before.

But Seonghyun answered immediately, trying not to mind it as much as possible, as if it didn't matter.

“...Ashamedly, yes.”

As Seonghyun said that, Hindel withdrew his power as if he had expected it.

Then, the knights who had almost suffocated from the gravity all gasped for breath as if vomiting it out, and the horses were also all alive.

However, no one could say a word to Hindel.

Because he was a hero.

Anyway.

Seonghyun wondered if he had passed one crisis.

However.

Kuwuwuwu———!

The aura began to press down again.

Seonghyun crumpled his face.

Is he trying to kill me after all?

Even if he’s corrupted, isn't he Hindel?

That’s why he had deliberately shown the Galaxy Sword Dance.

‘Is it a failure...’

As Seonghyun stood there looking somewhat gloomy.

Hindel erupted his energy towards the sky as if throwing a tantrum.

Then the stars that lost their light soared into the sky, whipping up a frenzied momentum.

The dark light of the galaxy pierced the sky and split space.

Kwajijijiji———!!!

Seonghyun couldn't help but exclaim inwardly at the majesty worthy of being called a transcendent.

What level do I have to hit to even mimic that similarly.

He couldn't even get a sense of it.

And looking at the corrupted Galaxy Sword Dance, he frowned considerably.

Because it was also proof that Hindel was in that much pain.

Just as he was thinking it couldn't be helped since he was caught like this.

Hindel muttered as if annoyed.

“Damn it.”

Then.

Hindel spoke.

“Get out of my sight right now.”

The moment he heard those words, Seonghyun thought it was an opportunity, stepped with the footwork of the Galaxy Sword Dance, imbued with the power of radiance and the galaxy, and moved his body quickly as if teleporting from that spot.

And since he felt his vassals who had moved as far out of the domain as possible at the appearance of the transcendent long ago, Seonghyun also went to another place quickly.

But why?

Even while escaping quickly, Seonghyun could see Hindel and the knights as if he were still in the spot he was just in.

‘Event scene?’

Feeling it was similar to other event scenes, he watched the video.

Then.

Hindel, who looked unstable, spoke to the knights as if annoyed.

“Ignore that guy from earlier.”

“...Kuhuk, keok, huff huff, ah, understood.”

Hearing the Knight Commander's words, Hindel turned his body sharply.

And then.

“...Helena, I just need to kill that woman.”

Muttering so that no one could hear.

Along with those words, he cut through the air again and disappeared.

Only Seonghyun, who was the only one to hear that voice which was even pitiful, looked at the video sadly.

Watching that, Seonghyun thought Hindel was indeed Hindel, seeing that although he was full of anger, he didn't seem to have forgotten he was a hero as he tried not to kill innocent people.

Because the Rieskan Kingdom tried to corrupt him somehow.

Although he ended up like that.

A hero is still a hero.

Watching him, Seonghyun, who also felt bitter, sighed.

If he was a transcendent, he surely should have felt the barrier Helena put up.

Was it because he looked so anxious and unstable?

It seemed he didn't notice.

No, perhaps.

‘He might have just let it slide seeing that there were only children.’

It was a feeling of being choked up.

For now, seeing Hindel disappear, he went back into stealth.

After that, he went back to where the children were, stealthing even more thoroughly than before.

Will and Barbaros were also swallowing hard, full of tension.

“J-just now, that aura...”

“I-it was tremendous...”

When Will and Barbaros asked like that.

Seonghyun said bitterly.

“It was the hero Hindel.”

At those words, both of their eyes widened as if asking if they were in big trouble.

But since they knew the aura itself had disappeared, they asked back as if asking what happened.

“B-but why...”

“H-he surely would have known this place?”

Did the transcendent really not feel this place when he was so close?

Seonghyun also thought there was no way.

That’s why there was only one possibility.

“It seems he felt the children and just left.”

Perhaps he came here feeling Seonghyun, the Overlord. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

But since he showed the Galaxy Sword Dance.

He must have been confused.

That's why he told him to get out of his sight.

He could realize up to that point.

“Phew.”

“I wonder what will happen in the future...”

“Tell me about it.”

Everyone was clearly tense.

But thinking let's block it somehow, they talked to each other.

“Let's watch as much as possible.”

“Since he went back for now.”

“Seeing that the knights also withdrew, it seems they have no intention of staying in the Blue Village any longer.”

Hearing that, everyone nodded as if agreeing.

But the tension did not easily dissipate.

Like that, time passed while standing guard for a long time.

2.

Something suddenly appeared in the lord's castle of a city not far from the Blue Village as the air was torn apart.

A gloomy and dark starlight aura appeared in the air.

It cut space as it was.

————.

The cut space revealed a rift in space as if it were nothing, and Hindel walked out from within it.

Revealing his displeasure plainly with his face crumpled.

And a knight who was waiting in that lord's castle looked at Hindel and asked.

“What’s the matter, my friend.”

A knight who looked quite close to Hindel.

The knight called the Sword Saint and a royal of the Rieskan Kingdom.

Giorden von Rieskan.

When he, who was now also a colleague of the hero Hindel, asked that.

Hindel shook his head.

“No, nothing happened.”

Hindel spoke coldly despite being a colleague.

It looked as if he were trying not to get attached.

But Giorden didn't even care, as if it didn't matter.

Rather.

He looked at Hindel and spoke as if he had done well.

“Right, that’s a relief.”

“...I'm going in to rest.”

At those words, Giorden looked at Hindel as if slightly disappointed.

A reaction asking why he would rest.

But since it was an all too familiar reaction, Hindel didn't make any particular reply.

He just stared at Giorden.

When Giorden met Hindel's eyes.

He cleared his throat and said.

“Hmm, I did say I would help with your revenge, but considering we are working our kingdom's personnel this hard, how about you cooperate a bit too?”

“......”

At Giorden's words, the hero Hindel's fist clenched tightly.

Crunch.

He clenched it so hard that his fist turned white, and the sound of bones could be heard.

But Giorden didn't care.

And.

“I'm just saying this because I'm disappointed that our kingdom publicized your tragedy and sought aid from numerous magic towers and other countries. Everyone is helping you, so is it right for only you to rest?”

It was typical gaslighting.

Hindel was not unaware of it either.

But there was some truth to those words.

Since Giorden had been able to assemble all the countries and magic towers by borrowing the power of the Rieskan Kingdom.

But.

“In the end, isn't it me who catches the Demon King?”

Giorden flinched at Hindel's sharp words.

At the same time, Hindel's aura suddenly washed over Giorden, but Giorden is also one of the transcendents.

One of the Sword Saints called a hero of the era.

However, compared to Hindel, who is known to have surpassed the transcendents, he inevitably pales in comparison.

That's why he flinched.

Giorden looked at Hindel and said.

“I am the one helping you with revenge for your younger sibling. And...”

“......”

The moment he tried to continue, Hindel emitted an aura in anger.

Nevertheless, Giorden did not stop and continued speaking.

“Are you not going to take revenge for the Sage Flan, who died by demonic energy just like your younger sibling?”

“......”

At those words, Hindel squeezed his eyes shut.

The urge to tear apart and kill Giorden, who spoke so cunningly, soared.

But he was too exhausted and devastated for that.

To think any further and practice justice...

He had lost too much strength.

‘...Is this right?’

At times like this, he missed his friend who used to chat playfully, unbefitting the title of Sage.

And his younger sibling lying on the sickbed who always cheered him on.

But it has been a long time since those two disappeared.

He had come too far to go back.

Perhaps.

‘Maybe I just want to give up on everything.’

As if speaking to his friend who had gone far away.

Muttering, Hindel dropped his head wearily.

He stopped thinking further.

Just to be at ease.

That is why.

Hindel nodded.

“Right, understood.”

He answered Giorden like that and tore through the air again to move.

To see if there were any traces of Helena elsewhere.

Watching Hindel disappear like that, Giorden muttered with a dissatisfied expression.

“Hmm, should we not have touched the Sage after all?”

At those words spoken implicitly.

A voice was heard from the empty space as if someone were responding.

-No, the Sage had realized too much for that.

“There was a risk.”

-Yes, the Sage had to be eliminated.

“But with him broken like that, I wonder if Hindel can even catch Helena.”

As Giorden spoke as if worried.

That gloomy voice spoke, reassuring Giorden.

-Don't worry. Even so, he is the man who saw the end of the Galaxy Sword Dance. Even if he is corrupted.

“Hmm, right, you must be correct. He wouldn't be called the greatest hero of all time for nothing.”

-Right, don't worry too much.

With those words, the gloomy voice disappeared.

Giorden nodded at that and likewise rose from his seat.

Since he couldn't leave it only to Hindel.

It was time for him to step up as well.

‘Let's find out where that bitch is hiding.’
