The Game of the Greatest Black Mage-Chapter 332

Chapter 332

3.

Dragging his tired body out of the capsule, Seonghyun let out a sigh as usual.

“Huuu.”

The last scenario was more depressing than he had expected.

It seemed Seonghyun was affected to some extent.

And for good reason.

It was the story of none other than Hindel and Helena.

Because he knew well that it was a tragedy.

That was why Seonghyun, perhaps feeling more mentally drained than usual, stretched his body moderately.

It felt like a day had passed just by standing guard.

But since he had fought the baron and had various other things happen.

Not knowing how long he had to hold out.

Figuring out who was coming around him weighed on his mind and consumed a considerable amount of stamina.

Since Seonghyun was also listening to all the reports from his vassals.

He couldn't help but be more tired.

‘Will it end by tomorrow?’

Thinking that, he shook his head at the fatigue.

He still didn't know why Hindel had become like that.

Although he had Hindel's memories, the memories of that time were so painful and agonizing.

He couldn't see them well, nor could he even bring himself to look.

Indeed, seeing now that he lived for hundreds of years even without transcending.

If Seonghyun were to absorb those vast memories at once, who knew what would happen to his brain.

It was only natural.

‘Anyway, this scenario is going to be gloomy.’

Thinking that he would have to expend a considerable amount of emotion, he went out to the living room for dinner and spent time with his family.

He had hung out with his friends yesterday.

After spending a pleasant time with his family again.

Fortunately, he was able to recover emotionally quickly.

Feeling that getting too deeply immersed wasn't good either.

He fell asleep with the thought of filtering it as much as possible.

And the next morning.

Seonghyun woke up according to his routine as usual, went for a run, had breakfast, and logged into Eternal World.

Nothing special happened on this day either.

There were occasions where knights approached in between.

But Will, who had shown wit since childhood, improvised and sent the knights away each time, so nothing special happened.

Like that, another day passed.

The next day passed without much happening, although the knights had come close.

For some reason, Seonghyun felt that the day of the decisive battle would come today.

It was time, after all.

Transcendents were gradually appearing around them as well.

It was the moment he thought they were bound to be discovered soon.

Thus, Sunday morning dawned.

Seonghyun went through his morning routine just like any other time, but.

Should he say his resolve was different?

As Seonghyun stood with a stiff expression.

Neither his parents having breakfast nor his older sister Yoo Mina bothered Seonghyun.

And.

“Thank you for the meal.”

As Seonghyun, who spoke resolutely, cleared his bowl and went straight into his room.

Seeing that, his mother Lee Nakyeong asked Yoo Mina.

“There isn't anything wrong with Seonghyun, is there?”

At her asking like that, perhaps a little worried.

His older sister Yoo Mina chuckled and said.

“He just seems too immersed in what he's doing? It’s not a bad thing.”

“Is that so?”

“K-hum-hum, well, Seonghyun will do well.”

As his father Yoo Gwangjin also said that and moved on.

Only his mother Lee Nakyeong muttered as if worried.

“I don't know what it is, but I hope it works out well...”

Saying so, she cheered for Seonghyun.

Seonghyun, having received the support of his family, quickly cleared the now-tiresome welcome message and logged in.

He was able to meet Barbaros, who had arrived in advance.

Since it was inside the scenario book.

Time was stopped, and as Seonghyun also logged in.

“It started right away.”

Barbaros said so, and Seonghyun also nodded his head.

And Seonghyun looked up at the sky without realizing it.

Unlike usual, it was a dark night sky, not morning.

Perhaps feeling that the dark sky was somehow ominous, Seonghyun’s expression crumpled.

And that was the same for Barbaros.

“Time has skipped before, but... the fact that it stopped at night like this before we turned it off means...”

“Yes, it seems so.”

As Seonghyun agreed with Barbaros's words.

Feeling that the end had come, Barbaros examined his grimoire with a quite tense face.

Checking it just in case before using magic.

Since this could be called the final chapter.

Since the two had already discussed doing their best.

They were steeling their resolve.

Although they couldn't change the past.

Hoping that they could at least change this scenario.

Thinking that, the two finished their mental preparations with firm determination.

“...Something is strange.”

As Will also approached there as if it were strange.

Seonghyun felt that something had begun.

His body hadn't stopped completely, but he couldn't move a single step outside Helena's barrier.

Feeling that, a sense of foreboding rose within Seonghyun.

No way?

“Seonghyun-nim...”

“......”

At Barbaros's words, Seonghyun couldn't say anything.

Because he knew all too well what this phenomenon was.

And then, chaos appeared in the air and condensed in one spot.

A familiar voice was heard from behind them.

“...It is an order to watch from here.”

“......”

He didn't ask whose order it was.

It was obvious.

Seonghyun wanted to ask if it was okay, but.

There was no time for that.

At that moment, someone appeared outside the barrier, and a passage to the Demon Realm, filled with terribly agonizing screams, opened in the sky.

A passage appeared as if the sky were splitting, and Helena descended from the sky.

Then, fresh flowers fluttered and flew about, and a tremendous amount of demonic energy wafted around.

It was an inevitable result since the passage to the Demon Realm was connected.

However, all that demonic energy was wrapped around Helena's aura and returned to the Demon Realm, and instead, every single flower around her bloomed freshly, radiating life.

On the other hand, the Hero stood where the air was split and the gloomy dark starlight of the galaxy was leaking out.

And at his appearance, the lively flowers and vegetation withered and died coldly.

It was as if the appearances of the Demon King and the Hero were quite reversed.

Amidst the strange surrounding gazes where good and evil were reversed, the masters of the Magic Towers and knights who had stepped into transcendence began to gather one by one.

By the time countless humans appeared behind Hindel's back.

There was no one around Helena.

Her vassals watched Helena one by one from within the barrier she had created.

Since it was her order.

Even though ominous and profane thoughts arose.

They just watched Helena.

Because they trusted and admired their master.

However, those gathered behind the Hero's back were completely different.

Those who gathered here weighing each other's benefits, greed, and gains and losses.

Looking at them, Helena's eyes were only cold.

“Hero... did you follow me again to annoy me? What business is it this time?”

A voice quite soft for someone who had come back after killing two out of three Demon Archdukes.

But Seonghyun could feel it.

The sad and exhausted voice contained within.

The Hero confronting her also raised his sword with lifeless eyes.

At the same time, he muttered quietly.

“If only you are gone... no, if I just get rid of you, it all ends.”

A Hero who was far too exhausted, no, a single person stood there.

The man, soaked in fatigue and despair, aimed his sword at Helena, and Helena looked at him, then at those behind him.

Gazes looking at the Hero with greed, without exception.

In the midst of that, there were only two gazes worrying about the Hero.

“It’s the Saintess and the Elf Archer. Were you unable to stop him?”

She spoke quietly.

The Saintess, Adeline, and the Elf Archer, Laiaden, just looked at Hindel silently, and with just that one gaze, Helena nodded as if she could understand.

On the other hand.

“I’m too tired too.”

She had led this life for hundreds, thousands, perhaps even longer.

But the world, far from changing, remained the same.

No, it became even uglier.

Of course, she could change the world.

But even if she changed it with her will, what meaning would that have?

She had lived a life close to seclusion with only that single conviction.

“But it seems I was wrong.”

Even if she was a transcendent, she was also a human.

To be hated so much by her fellow humans and to be in such agony.

“...Should I just wipe it all away?”

It was just that one phrase.

The moment the world began to flow solely according to her will.

The world vibrated.

Yet, it made no sound.

The sky collapsed as if the world were truly being exterminated.

Literally shattering, space jumbled and rained down.

The concept of up and down disappeared.

In a world where one could not distinguish up from down.

The sky melted and the land perished.

In a world flickering out of existence where even light vanished.

The humans in between were about to vanish into dust like insects.

However.

At that moment, Helena shook her head.

“What meaning would there be in doing that?”

With just that single denial of hers.

The world, which was fading away, returned to its original state.

The masters of the Magic Towers who observed the phenomenon became imbeciles and rolled on the ground, and the knights who experienced it drew their swords and plunged them into their own hearts.

Madness ran rampant, and confusion and chaos ruled over them.

In the madness where nothing could survive.

Even Giorden, called the Sword Saint, swung his sword at his own neck, and his head flew off like an insect, wriggling on the floor as he turned cold.

Helena, who took away all enemies with just a single thought.

In the midst of that, the good people were fine even after witnessing it.

Because she did not want that.

The Hero's party was no exception.

They might have been fearful, swept up in the madness.

But the Hero Hindel did not sheathe his sword as if it didn't matter.

Amidst the madness, the Hero's party somehow managed to endure.

Was it because they were the Hero's party?

Perhaps.

“You’ve given up on everything too.”

“...Yes.”

“...I see.”

At Helena’s words, Hindel spoke weakly, and seeing that, Helena nodded as if she understood.

“You want to have one last go, don't you?”

“......”

Hindel did not answer, but his will remained.

The sword of the Hero, who was so exhausted and devastated that he no longer even had the will to live.

It shone like that.

Starlight settled into the sword as if squeezing out the last of his life.

As if the darkness all this time had been solely for this moment, it became a light that burned everything and wrapped around him.

The radiance of the galaxy shone as if burning like the morning star, but was it because he knew that appearance was burning his life?

Even if it looked noble, a light that looked somewhat sad flew up.

Burning everything of himself for only one goal.

The sad light burning life soon reached the brilliant darkness, but.

That was all.

The brilliant darkness withdrew the sad light burning life with just a single gesture, and the sword that lost its light fell as it was.

It looked difficult to counterattack anymore.

The feeling of wanting to throw his body into that darkness instead, the sword filled with such desperate desire tried to rush in again.

The moment the brilliant darkness was about to break the sword like that.

Other sorrows gathered around the sword.

The Saintess with a warm light and the Elf Archer as broad as the cozy earth.

The two of them stood in front of the sword and tried to drive away the darkness.

But neither the warm light nor the cozy earth could do anything against the darkness.

Becoming no strength at all, the warm light and cozy earth just fell.

At that, the eyes of Hindel, holding the sword, trembled.

And the brilliant darkness also seemed to shimmer and waver slightly at that warm light and cozy earth.

Helena, embracing the brilliant darkness that encompasses everything, lifted her head slightly.

Where did that luscious and always confident expression go?

It was a look full of only sadness and regret.

Helena looked around at those surroundings and muttered.

“You all, do not live like me.”

Like a mother feeling guilty towards her children.

Saying so, Helena smiled freshly and turned her head.

Then, looking at the mother's last moment, the vassals.

No, her children shed tears of blood looking at her.

Some tried to run out right away.

Some tried to step forward to punish those cruel ones severely.

And someone else screamed, not wanting to see the mother's last moment.

However, all of them.

The eldest silently shed tears of blood and held them back.

So as not to block the mother's will.

And said.

“It is the end of the mother who embraced us.”

At Black Star's voice.

Everyone watched silently even though tears of blood burst out.

Like that, Helena, the brilliant darkness, approached the Hero Hindel who held the sword himself and gave up her own heart.

Puuuuk.

The cruelest sound in the world, which could be called inevitable, rang out.
