The Game of the Greatest Black Mage-Chapter 342

Chapter 342

A skill he had forgotten, and a skill Helena had told him to save for later.

It was the skill called Summon Demon Knight.

Since he hadn't used it, Seonghyun had also forgotten about it.

But suddenly?

As Seonghyun tilted his head as if puzzled.

Helena smiled freshly and said.

“Yeah, if you use it now, it might be a little different?”

“......?”

Can a skill change suddenly?

He had that thought.

But if Helena said so, there must be a reason.

He had just awakened a new Lord as well.

That might be the reason.

As Seonghyun checked the Summon Demon Knight skill like that.

It had certainly changed.

『Summon Demon Knight/Mage』

→《Almighty》

→[Lv Max][Complete Form]

[Instant Effect][Active]

[Currently summonable number: 1]

→The Demon Knight, a faithful servant and sword, or the Demon Mage, a forerunner of magic, is the same level as the master.

→One Demon Knight or Demon Mage can be added per 100 levels.

*The Demon Knight or Demon Mage can also enter the underworld.

*The skill changes as the current Lord-type awakened skills reach 4 or more.

“Oh?”

“Right? It changed, didn't it?”

Demon Mage.

Seonghyun was looking at it with interest.

So this is why she told me to save it.

Because he already had two Demon Knights, but not a single Demon Mage.

Come to think of it.

‘There are way more melee fighters among the vassals.’

Excluding Fiora, who could be called an all-rounder, there were quite a few melee fighters.

It is useful to have more ranged fighters.

The ones who can be called ranged right now are exactly four: Helena, Serphina, Anemor, and Karisha.

Although Noctrinium was also a ranged type, he was closer to support than a combatant, so excluding him, four were all.

Because of that, there was definitely a need to recruit a mage.

‘Also because mages capable of leading the Legion of Death were lacking.’

It fit the situation perfectly.

If he hadn't listened to Helena and used it beforehand, he would have had to wait until level 300 to use it even if it changed to a mage.

Thinking up to that point made him feel a bit dizzy.

So what is a Demon Mage like?

As Seonghyun thought that.

Helena let him know.

“Umm, Demon Mages are similar to Demon Knights, there isn't a big difference from just knights, but they use the magic of hell specially. Drakhanos and Balthar are both similar in that they are knights, but they use hell swordsmanship. That's the difference.”

“Umm.”

He definitely seemed to understand after hearing it.

Since both Drakhanos and Balthar's swordsmanship were slightly different.

Unlike Silvanor or Leonik's swordsmanship, it was closer to a swordsmanship that was insidious or more befitting of hell.

Other than that, most things were similar.

It seemed he could think of them as skilled mages who used the magic of hell.

He thought about summoning one right away.

But Seonghyun shook his head.

For some reason.

‘I feel like things will get tiring.’

Weren't there quite tiring events when he summoned Drakhanos or Balthar?

He was already exhausted from the battle with Arba.

If something even more tiring happened here, it seemed it would be hard to handle, so he thought it would be better to take a rest for now.

“I should rest a bit today.”

“Yeah~ That's also a good idea~ You worked hard~”

As Helena said that, smiling benevolently.

Seonghyun also nodded his head.

Afterward, other vassals also bid farewell to such Seonghyun, and Seonghyun logged out with the familiar farewell message.

Since there were various things happening.

It was understandable that he would be tired.

Seonghyun, who logged out like that, got out of the capsule, and lay down on the bed as if collapsing, suddenly had a strange thought.

‘Come to think of it, the Sword Saint must have caused this too, so he must be quite pissed.’

Although it was a coincidence, he had dealt with what the Sword Saint had committed.

On top of that.

‘There are still things to find out.’

The intelligence knights of Badia.

Because there was a need to find out about them.

As Seonghyun thought that and closed his eyes, soaked in fatigue.

He fell asleep quickly as if passing out.

The news of the sudden large-scale war between Badia and Wirun spread rapidly.

The news circulated quickly within the Rieskan Kingdom and the Vallian Empire, and eventually reached the ears of the Sword Saint.

However, he heard an unexpected story, not the news he wanted.

“......What did you say.”

“......The Marod Knights were annihilated, and we suffered a crushing defeat in the war.”

“......Ha.”

It was so absurd that a laugh burst from the Sword Saint's lips.

Defeated with that much military power?

Why?

The moment such doubt naturally arose.

The knight reporting to the Sword Saint trembled as he spoke.

“...It is said that the stranger called the Demon King among the strangers participated on the Wirun side...”

However, the knight’s head was cut off on the spot before he could finish his sentence, and the moment it was cut, it burned and turned to ash.

The Sword Saint's sword energy, which cut the guy's neck so fast that the drawing of the sword wasn't even visible, was not enough; it even burned his head.

However, even though the Sword Saint had cut down the knight, he didn't seem relieved, as his face turned red and purple like the sun, just like his sword.

Again, it's the Overlord again.

To think that guy interfered again.

He was furious like fire, but the more he was, the Sword Saint felt a blow to his soul and a groan leaked out.

“Keuheuk.”

Nevertheless, his anger did not subside and only grew bigger.

Overlord, it doesn't matter why that guy is in Wirun.

The problem was simply that he annihilated the Marod Knights in the war and ruined the plan.

Right, let's say it's fine that they died.

Did we fill the targeted blood and corpses?

That was the most important thing.

One of the demons secretly reported to the Sword Saint.

-It seems the blood and corpses were also taken by the Overlord.

“...That guy who wouldn't be enough even if I ground him to death...”

The Sword Saint ground his teeth in simmering anger, but.

There is nothing he can do right now.

Since he is also in a situation where he cannot go to him.

It was Arba who had at least risen to the rank of Baron.

Even he was defeated.

That means.

‘At least a Viscount, no, to deal with him certainly, I must send a Count.’

If I send a Count, I will surely be able to deal with him.

However, sending a demon who has risen to the rank of Count to the area where he is is no easy task.

No, let alone a Count, it's hard to even send a Viscount.

That's why I sent Arba, who was a mature Baron.

The Sword Saint had no choice but to grind his teeth.

Because if he waits until the guy comes up, the guy will also become stronger just the same.

‘I must find a way.’

If things go on like this, it is clear that all his plans will scatter to nothing.

He must come up with a sharp solution.

Around the time the Sword Saint was racking his brain like that.

Suddenly, a knight entered the office where the Sword Saint was.

“What is it?”

The Sword Saint asked in a neurotic tone.

At that sight, the knight trembled.

Because he knew well that he could die if he made even a slight mistake here.

But nevertheless, since it was a matter to report urgently, the knight had no choice but to swallow hard and bow his head as he spoke.

“Th, they say they found it.”

“What?”

“...They say they found traces of the Galaxy Sword Dance.”

Jump!

At the sudden news, the Sword Saint's eyes shone as he asked.

“Is the Galaxy Sword Dance certain?”

“Yes, it is.”

“Where was it found?”

“W-well...”

As the Sword Saint raised his aura while looking at the hesitating knight, the knight swallowed hard and answered.

“Th-they say it was found on the Nocturn side.”

“...Nocturn?”

The Sword Saint's expression crumpled upon hearing that name.

Nocturn.

Because it was the eighth region for strangers and a region managed by Over Palace.

The Sword Saint ground his teeth and bit his lip.

Conversely, the Sword Saint muttered with a strange expression.

“Nocturn, huh.”

A place too far removed from Heptarion, the region where he had discovered it.

Although it was a distance one could travel if they took a portal.

Even so, seeing it moved to such a random area so suddenly, he racked his brain.

A city under the rule of Over Palace.

It was incredibly difficult for Rieskan knights to infiltrate that place.

That’s why the Sword Saint racked his brain and said.

“Assemble the intelligence knights of Badia and select those to send to Nocturn.”

“...U-understood.”

“And after assembling the intelligence knights, devise a plan as carefully as possible for infiltration. It’s fine if it takes some time, so they must not be caught.”

“Yes!”

The knight who answered hurriedly left the place, afraid his head might fly off too, and the Sword Saint didn't care about the knight leaving.

‘Did Over Palace manage to get their hands on the Galaxy Sword Dance?’

As that thought occurred.

He thought he wasn't wrong after all.

‘Seeing them trying to get their hands on the Galaxy Sword Dance, which is their weakness, the Overlord's weakness is indeed the Galaxy Sword Dance.’

Convinced of this, the Sword Saint smiled.

The Overlord’s weakness.

He must retake it at all costs.

Not doubting it for a second, the Sword Saint proceeded with his next tasks.

Then suddenly.

‘Did they say the Overlord is still in Wirun?’

For some reason, the intelligence knights of Badia weighed on his mind.

But even if the war was known, the intelligence knights were something only key figures like the Sword Saint knew about.

There is no way the Overlord could know.

The Sword Saint believed so and focused on his work again.

5.

After Seonghyun logged out.

Assistant Manager Lee Wonsong was bustling about here and there.

After entrusting the management of other users to Associate Oh Jinhyeok, he was going around other departments preparing something.

“Is the issuance of the pass complete this time?”

“Ah, you mean user Seonghyun’s pass?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

Since it was a matter he had suggested from quite a while ago.

Other departments answered as if they knew.

And Assistant Manager Lee Wonsong, having received the pass data, scratched his head as if it were strange and muttered.

‘I wonder if it’s right to give it when the Sword Saint is targeting him, though.’

Well, Seonghyun must also know well that the Sword Saint is targeting him.

He decided to issue it for now and tell him to use it freely.

Since this was also the user’s choice.

Because there was an instruction from Chairman Park Won to respect it.

Assistant Manager Lee Wonsong went around receiving various data like that.

He began the work of granting the pass to Seonghyun's logged-out character.

‘Well, he’ll figure it out.’

Thinking that if it’s Seonghyun, he would do well enough.
