The Game of the Greatest Black Mage-Chapter 346

Chapter 346

6.

The eighth region, Nocturn.

It was known as a quite popular place among users.

As only those level 250 or higher could enter, the number of users wasn't that large.

But it was known as a place with a much higher influx of NPCs than other cities.

It was also famous as a place where one could obtain various items or various skill books, so it was no wonder users flocked there.

Perhaps it was natural for people to flock there, befitting the name Free Trade City.

Also, even knowing it was a city under Over Palace, there was a reason why people gathered like this.

Anyway, the fact that so many people gathered meant...

It meant that secret strife was also rampant.

Every city is bound to have its back-alley affairs.

The infiltration of the Intelligence Knights, the only intelligence organization of the Rieskan Kingdom, could be seen as one such part.

While they were sneaking in bit by bit.

Naturally, they divided into teams, and some were going around looking for the successor of the Galaxy Sword Dance.

And is there a saying that there is a flyer above the runner?

It was the same now.

-They are searching diligently.

“Ahaha, without even knowing they are being used.”

Helena burst into laughter at Belladrina's words and watched, and Seonghyun was also watching the situation as if it were quite interesting.

And seeing the process of them turning the temporary shelter here into a headquarters completely.

In the meantime, Belladrina's clones were stealing information bit by bit.

Although it would take some time, they wouldn't even know they were being played.

The reason for moving the headquarters was largely due to Badia being opened up in the first place.

But they probably also had the intention of stealing Over Palace's information.

Watching that, Seonghyun tilted his head while looking at the inner castle of Nocturn as if a little puzzled.

‘Is there no reaction?’

Rather, looking at the castle of Nocturn which showed no reaction, thinking it was strange.

Of course, Seonghyun and his vassals had all concealed their energy and even their appearances.

But would it be difficult for a figure from Over Palace managing a region to see through that?

Thinking about it, he judged absolutely not.

If so, that meant...

‘They probably know that the Rieskan Kingdom infiltrated in the first place?’

Goosebumps rose slightly at that thought.

Anyway.

Finding the successor of the Galaxy Sword Dance is the priority right now.

Since Seonghyun was also a successor of the Galaxy Sword Dance.

He couldn't help but be curious about the counterpart.

‘Is it a user?’

What they found in the Rieskan Kingdom was said to be traces of the Galaxy Sword Dance, not the successor.

Traces discovered as the Sword Saint investigated traces of the Galaxy Sword Dance in other places as if rummaging, after seeing the traces Seonghyun left behind.

Since they said they found it in a hunting ground near Nocturn.

It could be an NPC, or it could be a user.

In fact, Seonghyun was keeping the possibility open that the successor of the Galaxy Sword Dance was a user.

Isn't there that kind of cliché?

‘There are cases like treasure maps in martial arts stories too.’

Isn't there a probability that one of the successors of the Galaxy Sword Dance left behind the Galaxy Sword Dance in that way?

That's why he didn't rule out the possibility of it being a user.

Since it was Hindel's swordsmanship, it would be treated as important in the worldview, so it could be an NPC as well.

Anyway, now that he was in Nocturn, it was natural to search here and there.

Besides maximizing Belladrina's familiars to infiltrate the Intelligence Knights, they were also scouting with rats and birds.

Seonghyun or other vassals rummaging around would not only look suspicious but also risk being caught by the Intelligence Knights.

Just as Seonghyun was trying to stay quiet.

Belladrina bowed her head and said.

-I will take responsibility and manage this mission, so I think it would be good for Your Majesty to go sightseeing.

“Hmm?”

As Seonghyun tilted his head at Belladrina's words.

Other vassals also nodded their heads.

-Th, that's right. I, I think the L, Lord can play a, a little.

-We will take charge, so it seems good for you to look around at this time.

“We will remain here.”

Since all the vassals said so.

Seonghyun nodded his head as if he couldn't win.

Indeed, Seonghyun would only be bored if he stayed here.

As Seonghyun nodded in agreement.

Helena also said excitedly.

“Ohh? Then I'll go with Seonghyun.”

Naturally, someone was needed to guard Seonghyun.

There was absolutely no objection from other vassals.

Isn't it Helena, after all?

There was no one among the vassals who could object to her opinion.

As Seonghyun and Helena left like that.

Belladrina took the lead and spoke to the vassals.

-We've already been caught, haven't we?

At Belladrina's words, Fiora nodded and answered.

-Th, there was a gaze quietly watching us.

-Hmm, I felt that too.

-It felt like it was notifying only us.

“It seems to be the master of this city?”

All vassals felt so and spoke.

Naturally, the vassals frowned as if their pride was a little hurt by the overwhelming aura.

But that didn't mean the aura wasn't friendly.

Precisely, it only gave a gaze with the will to just watch quietly, saying it's fine so do as you please.

Seeing that the gaze is not felt now.

-It is considered to be a loyal subject of Your Majesty.

“I think so too.”

Serphina, a witch sensitive to mana, answered Belladrina's words.

They didn't worry about whether it was right to send Seonghyun away like this.

They thought perhaps something would compensate him when he came out.

Even.

-He, Helena-nim went with him.

-Kuhaha, then there's no worry.

-That is correct. The former Lord is guarding the current Lord.

As everyone talked like that.

Belladrina also nodded her head.

To think the current Emperor revived the Emperor of the past.

She couldn't even imagine such a thing.

Thinking that perhaps the Emperor of this generation might really accomplish what couldn't be done in the past.

Belladrina focused on intelligence.

To find out what will happen here.

And what the Rieskan Kingdom, or precisely the Sword Saint, is up to.

To find out everything.

Her eyes sparkled.

7.

A bustling street.

It gave the feeling of commonly watching a fantasy movie or comic.

The streets where peddlers set up stalls here and there to sell goods were full of vitality even though it was a city ruled by Over Palace, a black mage magic tower.

And Seonghyun and Helena were walking together and looking around on that street.

It was certainly nice to see as it was overflowing with vitality.

But Seonghyun was feeling perplexed watching it.

“With this many people, it won't be easy to find.”

“Hmm. That is true. But if they are around us, you'll definitely be able to feel it, right?”

“Right.”

Doesn't he have the Token of the Galaxy that Seonghyun possesses?

If he has this, it will be much easier to find a fellow successor of the Galaxy Sword Dance.

The Intelligence Knights also cannot rummage around like crazy.

So it could be seen that Seonghyun had the advantage.

Since Belladrina was also there.

For now, the Intelligence Knights were mainly looking for those who would enter or frequent hunting grounds.

For example, they were looking for people like mercenaries.

Naturally, since it was a free trade city, mercenaries were overflowing.

Whether users or NPCs.

Seonghyun was also considering registering as a mercenary after looking around for now.

“It would be good for us to go hunting to level up too.”

Helena was also saying that the opinion was fine, and Seonghyun thought so too.

Still, since he came all the way here.

It was nice to walk around market streets like this for now.

You never know, he might get a decent item.

Seonghyun thought so and looked around.

‘I don't see anything particularly good.’

There were decent items.

Unique rank items were seen quite often.

But they are items a bit lacking for Seonghyun to use.

It was even more so because Seonghyun was wearing at least Legendary items.

Since he had done enough sightseeing.

Shall he head to the hunting ground now?

‘To test the Lord of Blood, no, Blood Lord at this time.’

Since he hadn't used it after evolving it into a Blood Lord.

Moreover, it was also his first time catching monsters with a level higher than the normal level using a pass.

It seemed very good to test it at this time.

As Seonghyun made up his mind.

Helena also smiled slightly and nodded her head.

“Are you going to test the Blood Lord too?”

“Yeah.”

“It’s a good opportunity.”

Seeing Helena grin, he got goosebumps recalling the training he received before.

But isn't it indeed a good opportunity?

Seonghyun also headed to the hunting ground as if satisfied.

Naturally, there was nothing particularly needed to go to the hunting ground, so he could arrive quickly.

The place he arrived at, befitting the name Nocturn, had a strong feeling like a slightly dark night.

Is it because it is inside a dense forest?

It created an appearance like night, and the monsters were also nocturnal.

Monsters shaped like nocturnal animals such as werewolves or owls.

One of them was a Lycanthrope, a werewolf.

“Keureureureu.”

A werewolf whose teeth were exceptionally prominent rather than its claws.

As Seonghyun smiled at the appearance quite rough to be called a beast-kin, blood droplets began to form drop by drop around him.

As blood droplets bloomed softly and floated around.

Whether the werewolf cared or not, it rushed in with shining eyes.

It was certainly quite fast, but that was all.

As it bared its sharp teeth towards the empty air and bit the air.

Silver trajectory of teeth appearing where Seonghyun was.

It appeared as if it were a bite transcending space, but Seonghyun didn't even gesture, and the blood droplets gradually increased in volume and cut off those teeth.

Kwagagagaga——!!!

The blood-colored current cut off the silver trajectory of teeth and simultaneously cut the werewolf's chest.

A single blow.

Even though it was a monster with a level quite higher than himself, he cut it down with a single blow.

“Hmm.”

Honestly, it was a bit boring.

Since it was just the entrance of the hunting ground.

Just as Seonghyun put his regret behind and was about to head deeper while controlling the blood droplets with the intention of catching even a boss.

As Seonghyun felt something strange at that moment and tilted his head.

He could see something popping out quickly from between the bushes.

An appearance trying to head quickly to the hunting ground, not having been there from the beginning.

And at that moment.

The Token of the Galaxy on Seonghyun's chest began to shine.

“......?”

A reaction he was seeing for the first time from the Token of the Galaxy.

But Seonghyun was not unaware of what that meant.

Rather, startled, he looked closely at the quickly moving thing.

A woman with an expressionless face close to a quickly moving girl, but whose eyes seemed to contain the Milky Way.

And the moment that woman was about to pass Seonghyun, her eyes met Seonghyun's, and that gaze resembling the Milky Way quickly stopped looking at Seonghyun, and she muttered looking at Seonghyun with an expressionless face.

“......Galaxy Sword Dance?”

Just as Seonghyun recognized her Galaxy Sword Dance.

She also recognized Seonghyun's Galaxy Sword Dance.
