The Game of the Greatest Black Mage-Chapter 345

Chapter 345

Naturally, the information didn't end there.

Since it was a meeting, various stories were bound to be exchanged.

“Doesn't moving to Nocturn carry a significant risk?”

“No matter what, isn't it one of the cities ruled by Over Palace?”

Some had no choice but to express concern.

But there were others who saw this as an opportunity.

It is true that there is a risk because it is a city ruled by Over Palace.

However, conversely.

“If we only watch out for Over Palace, it can be the best camouflage.”

“Over Palace doesn't pay much attention to us either, so perhaps now is the right time.”

“In the first place, the majority has to head to Nocturn for this operation anyway. It might actually be a suitable place, and it's also the closest place to the Rieskan Kingdom among the cities currently ruled by Over Palace.”

For Seonghyun, who was eavesdropping, it could be said to be a fairly big opportunity.

It seemed there would be quite a lot of information to obtain by taking advantage of the security that became lax while moving.

Moreover, the ability of Belladrina, who had newly joined this time, was considerable.

That’s why Seonghyun listened quietly without much worry.

Afterward, as the atmosphere turned towards consent among some.

They moved on to another agenda.

“Then if half of us are pulled out to Nocturn this time, naturally, the Ruins of the Celestials will be put on hold.”

“It’s a shame, but it can’t be helped.”

“Since the Sword Saint ordered us to prioritize the Galaxy Sword Dance.”

Ruins of the Celestials?

As Seonghyun tilted his head as soon as he heard that story.

Belladrina explained quickly.

-It is a race opposite to the Demon-kin. They are races inhabiting the Celestial Realm. Just as we Devils and Demon-kin are different races, the Celestial race and Angels are also different races. Angels are certainly good beings, but the Celestial race is a quite selfish race. However, their technology is considered quite useful. If Demon-kin handle combat well, the Celestial race excels in magic or artisanal skills.

Thanks to Belladrina's kind explanation, Seonghyun could understand at once.

However.

-After Helena-nim completely cut off the connection with the Celestial Realm, it has never been connected again.

“......?”

Helena again?

As Seonghyun looked to the side with that thought, Helena feigned ignorance.

Well, leaving Helena aside for now, he listened to their meeting repeatedly.

They were holding a meeting diligently without even knowing that information was leaking.

4.

As the guys moved busily after various meetings ended.

Accordingly, Seonghyun looked back at his vassals.

He gained a lot of miscellaneous information, but he was also able to obtain big information.

There were three pieces of big information.

First, that the successor of the Galaxy Sword Dance is in Nocturn.

Second, that they know the location of the Ruins of the Celestials.

Third, that they are relocating their base.

‘For now, it’s an advantageous situation for us.’

The current situation is very busy for the guys to relocate their base to Nocturn.

Indeed, Badia is in a hopeless state if things continue as they are now.

There would be no place more disadvantageous than this for the Intelligence Knights.

So rather, they decided to relocate since most of their forces were heading to Nocturn anyway.

But as it happened, Seonghyun found out all about it.

Naturally, it wasn't that the Intelligence Knights were stupid.

Rather.

‘Should I say Belladrina's familiar ability, which penetrated even the quadruple concealment barrier, is outstanding?’

Isn't it the only Intelligence Knight Order of the Rieskan Kingdom?

Naturally, they boasted tremendous concealment capabilities, but even that was nullified by Belladrina.

That means Belladrina's ability is that outstanding.

Didn't she even find Belladrina immediately when Helena felt something strange?

In terms of detection ability, there was no vassal who could keep up with Helena until now.

At least Noctrinium had excellent detection capabilities, but after Helena came, Helena was the best, yet she showed detection slightly faster than Helena by a narrow margin.

It was naturally inevitable to know how outstanding Belladrina was.

Anyway, knowing that Belladrina is outstanding.

He has to move on to the next operation.

“Huuuum.”

It is natural to follow them to Nocturn as it is.

Since he had already been issued a pass.

Even Seonghyun, whose level is a bit lacking, can go to the eighth city, Nocturn, without any problem.

However, how should he plan the operation to extract all their information while moving?

This was the problem.

Around the time Seonghyun was contemplating like that.

Belladrina bowed her head and opened her mouth.

-I apologize for being presumptuous, but may I offer an opinion for a moment?

Although he wasn't quite used to the extremely polite tone.

Seonghyun nodded his head.

Then.

-This foolish mage dares to suggest that if we infiltrate them using my ability, the work is thought to become much easier.

“With Belladrina's ability?”

-Yes, that is correct.

At those words, Seonghyun recalled Belladrina's ability for a moment.

Summoning familiars wasn't her true ability.

The modifiers attached to Demon Knights or Demon Mages could be called their true abilities.

Like Balthar, the Blood-red Demon Knight, is a knight-type ability user who handles dark red blood.

And Belladrina's modifier is none other than the Master of the Black Sun.

Does she mean she will use the ability of the Black Sun?

As soon as he had that thought.

Belladrina began to use her ability.

Belladrina emitting a black aura like a black sun.

And her black aura undulated around like a shadow.

Soon something popped out from that black shadow-like place.

Seuseuseuseu.

A form rising so secretly that even though it was a phenomenon happening right before his eyes, one wouldn't know well unless they looked closely, no, accurately.

And looking at that.

A shadow looking exactly like Belladrina appeared.

Soon, it transformed into Belladrina's clone, perfectly identical in appearance and form, everything.

-Like this, I can create clones with the power of the Black Sun. I have summoned a familiar that contains three techniques simultaneously, created by weaving heat and darkness by refracting light.

“Ha.”

Was her concealment so outstanding because she made familiars in this way?

Seonghyun nodded as if amazed, even seeing it right before his eyes.

If it’s this.

-I can swap a few of them with my familiars to infiltrate secretly. After infiltrating like that, it seems you can move comfortably to Nocturn.

Isn't that a truly perfect operation?

Seonghyun nodded his head after listening to Belladrina's opinion.

However, there was a part he was a little concerned about.

“Didn't they say Nocturn is a city under Over Palace?”

Since things always flowed strangely whenever he got involved with Over Palace until now.

He couldn't help but be worried.

On top of that.

It also bothered him a bit that the successor of the Galaxy Sword Dance happened to be in a city under Over Palace.

Seonghyun muttered as if worried about something.

But rather, Helena spoke as if asking what he was worried about.

“Things always turned out well whenever you got involved with the Over Palace kids anyway. What are you worried about?”

“Umm.”

That was true, but.

He couldn't say that the problem was it was always a headache to get involved.

Well, he knew well that they always took care of him and that it was all for Seonghyun.

That's why he nodded, thinking it might be better for his mental health not to care.

“Right, then let's start.”

At Seonghyun's words, all the vassals bowed their heads and answered.

““Yes!””

Seeing the vassals answering loudly, Seonghyun also nodded his head.

It will work out somehow.

Since Belladrina's ability is also excellent.

And wouldn't it be fine if they just hid their aura somehow?

Seonghyun thought so and prepared to move on to the next step.

5.

In a world filled with red light where the sunset hung in the sky.

There was an illusion that the insides of the shadows stretching long like the sunset in the sky were moving busily.

Shashak, shashashashat.

If someone discovered it, they might say it was like cockroaches.

But they were so secretive that no one could notice them.

They moved very methodically, advancing slowly from the Rieskan Kingdom.

Making the most of their stealth, the place they were heading to was none other than walls blooming with an emerald-green light and a magnificent green castle rising proudly within those walls.

It was a huge territory that looked like something out of a dream, Nocturn.

A huge territory and city located between the Rieskan Kingdom and the Vallian Empire, Nocturn was a place operated by Over Palace, not the Vallian Empire nor the Rieskan Kingdom.

It would have been nonsense for another magic tower to operate a city, but no one could doubt the power of Over Palace.

Above all, rumors were circulating that it was being operated better than any other eighth city.

It was that prosperous of a city.

Since Nocturn could be called a free trade city.

Of course, just because Over Palace operated it didn't mean there were only black mages.

Not to mention users, it was an active trade city with various NPCs, especially merchants.

And there were those entering through such cracks.

-Everyone, stay tense.

As one of the five Vice-Commanders of the Intelligence Knight Order said that, the following subordinates nodded their heads.

Disguised as a merchant guild, they were slowly approaching Nocturn carrying all sorts of luggage.

Even if it was a free trade city, there were inspections.

They approached slowly without relaxing their tension.

In the meantime, the Vice-Commander turned back as if something was strange.

The reaction of the guy who could clearly be called his left arm was a bit strange.

‘......Strange.’

The guy who would have chatted chatteringly usually was quiet for some reason.

It might be natural since it's an important mission.

But something was strange.

The Vice-Commander, Haldrin, looked at his left arm, Kruger.

“Do you have any orders?”

Frivolous tone, a light appearance as if asking why he was looking at him like that, and even ambiguous eyes.

It wasn't the attitude to treat a superior at all.

But a guy who exudes a natural mood that can melt into the surroundings at any time.

He looked outstanding as an Intelligence Knight.

Seeing this, it is indeed the guy as usual, but why does he feel such incongruity?

Is he himself nervous because it was an important mission?

Even though he had castrated his emotions long ago.

-No, return to your position.

Following Haldrin's command given again, the other knights also returned to their positions.

Since other teams besides them were also slowly entering Nocturn now.

Isn't he in a position where he has to prepare quickly without even time to feel strange?

Around the time he was thinking that.

Kruger's black eyes shone as he was sending everything he was seeing somewhere.

‘Infiltration complete.’

While they were doing that.

At the very top of Nocturn Castle, where neither the Intelligence Knights infiltrating Nocturn nor Seonghyun's side could notice, someone was looking down at the entire situation and smiling.
