The Game of the Greatest Black Mage-Chapter 351

Chapter 351

3.

Deep inside the tomb.

In the deepest and most central part of the tomb, lined with countless empty masks, a small change occurred.

Paseuseuseu.

A crack formed, and a change occurred in one of the masks.

Where it was originally empty, a clown mask appeared first, and then a melting mask appeared.

The tomb was infinitely quiet, but.

The suddenly appearing masks were looking at one place.

On a large chair placed like a throne lay a mask shining with golden light, and in front of that mask, a single sentence was written.

[He who awakens all masks shall retrieve the Monarch's Mask from the abyss.]

Along with that sentence whose meaning was unknown, the empty masks just stared at the chair with hollow gazes.

4.

Kwaaaaaaa———!!!

At the breath like a fierce wave spewing from Fiora's mouth, the mask eventually couldn't withstand it, and its body crumbled and disappeared.

“Kkigi.......”

The doll of the mask disappeared without even being able to finish its death cry.

And as the doll disappeared, text appeared before Seonghyun's eyes.

[You have defeated the 『Swamp Mask』 in the Trial of Masks.]

[You acquire the 『Swamp Mask』.]

“I knew from seeing the ability, but general words, not concepts, are also attached.”

“Because a mask is something that can contain characteristics.”

“Huuuum.”

At Helena's words, Seonghyun nodded his head.

Because he knew well that Helena gave him a hint, albeit slightly.

Let's decide to move on for now.

Just then, a system text appeared.

[Would you like to challenge the next trial?]

[Yes / No]

[If you end the trial now, you can go outside with the rewards obtained so far.]

Of course, there's no reason to leave the trial.

As Seonghyun pressed Yes like that.

It began to move like an elevator again.

However.

Kugeugeugeugeu.

“Uuung?”

-Th, this time it moves f-forward too.

-It looks like a space made like a cube.

“Huuung, they put quite a lot of effort into this.”

“Ahaha, isn't it just like Pecil?”

Although they showed different reactions, since it was just moving locations.

No dangerous events occurred.

Seonghyun looked around feeling that, but there was no particular change, and it kept moving.

Where is it going?

When Seonghyun was staying quiet thinking that.

Soon a room appeared, and it looked like a room different from the ones before.

5.

Kim Eunseok had admired Indiana Jones since long ago.

However, in reality, he was just one of the common Korean students who gave up his dream early, thinking such exploration and adventure wouldn't exist.

But a chance to achieve that dream arose.

None other than Eternal World.

To become another me and explore another world!

How romantic is this!

Glad to be able to do the work he dreamed of, Kim Eunseok fortunately also had talent for games, so he leveled up faster than others and was able to reach the eighth region.

Thus, his skills were acknowledged, and Kim Eunseok, no, Varen, who was selected as an investigation team member, was quite satisfied with his current job.

Since he was also a MeTuber in parallel with the investigation team.

‘This time will be a big hit!’

One might say, isn't he spreading the investigation team's records as he pleases?

But that was what the investigation teams wanted in the first place.

Because they also wanted others to know about the places they explored.

Most user investigation team members, excluding NPCs, were also MeTubers.

Although not a super hit like the Guild MeTube channel, Varen's channel was quite sizable.

A mid-sized MeTuber commanding a whopping 500,000 subscribers, with quite a bit of demand.

That was why he couldn't hide his excitement this time either.

“I think we've found a proper place this time.”

Although there were thoughts about content, since Varen purely enjoyed exploration, the viewers also enjoyed it.

-Wow isn't discovering ruins really been a while?

-Fr lol

-Seeing Varen like it makes me feel good too.

-Seriously lol

-Ah isn't this a discovery in a long time?

While viewers were also rejoicing at the new discovery, they could discover something strange.

The number of investigation team members including NPCs who set foot in this ruin is 15.

But.

[You have entered the tomb.]

[The Trial of Masks begins.]

[Current personnel inside the tomb: 30 people]

“Huh? What is this?”

“Uh? There are people other than us?”

“We are fifteen, but you're saying half of them are other users?”

“Heo-uh! We aren't the first?”

The investigation team members were terrified upon discovering the system text.

They were surely excited and happy to be the first discoverers, but to think that wasn't the case.

It was understandable.

How much had they looked forward to it.

That was why the disappointment was greater, but at that moment, Varen alone quickly came to his senses and tried to speak to the investigation team members.

“Everyone, we don't know what might come out, so be ca...”

However, Varen's words were cut off, and they were scattered in all directions as if teleported.

When they tried to look around as if they couldn't understand inside the new room they were moved to at once.

System text appeared again.

[The Trial of Masks can be taken by five people at a time.]

“Heo-uh, it seems this is a trial that must be taken in a group of five?”

At Varen's words, everyone nodded their heads.

The only fortunate thing was that they came composed only of those who were quite good at combat.

-What is this????

-Crazy, forcing the team to split up???

-What's with the difficulty!?

-Are you guys okay????

-Wow the atmosphere is brutal???

Varen's viewers were also bound to be quite chaotic.

Since there were quite a lot of ruins or tombs Varen had discovered so far.

The viewers who had watched those broadcasts until now were practically semi-experts, and even to their eyes, the current room was unusual.

From the room moving like an elevator at first, countless masks began to rise gradually on the walls.

And the identity of those masks was.

“Deer?”

None other than a deer mask.

As masks with deer heads placed exactly as if stuffed filled the walls, it gave off a quite gloomy feeling.

And perhaps the viewers felt it too, as it was quite chaotic.

-Crazy;;;

-Wow what is this did it become a horror game??

-Kind of scary?

-Lol what is scary about this? Ssseup, I should sleep with mom today.

-Lol fr what is scary about this, let me go change my underwear.

In the midst of that.

One side of the wall opened and a doll wearing a deer mask appeared.

At that appearance like a jointed doll, Varen shouted quite tensely.

“Combat preparation!”

Since Varen boasted the most outstanding combat power among the investigation team members.

He gave the order, and the investigation team members all reacted to that order and prepared to fight.

Although they were surprised because it was sudden, since they were also outstanding users, they quickly adapted to the deer mask and were able to fight.

How much time passed?

One of the antlers attached to the deer mask fell off, and soon, as Varen's sword pierced the heart of the deer mask.

“Kkigikgikgik.......”

Eventually spitting out a death cry, the doll collapsed weakly.

Because the deer mask was weaker than expected.

It didn't take that long.

Even so, perhaps because they exhausted considerable strength, a few investigation team members sat down on the spot exhausted.

“Eoheu tough, tough.”

“It was easier than I thought but still was semi-raid level.”

“That's what I'm saying.”

The investigation team members talked amongst themselves, and the viewers also agreed.

-Fr it was a sweaty battle than expected.

-Lol was worth watching.

-Varen got stronger than expected.

-Movement was good? Lol

-But what is Varen doing?

Just as one viewer said, Varen was looking around as if searching for something.

He had intended to search the room now that the battle was over, but at that moment, Varen felt a strange sensation.

Just then, system text suddenly appeared.

[You have defeated the 『Deer Mask』 in the Trial of Masks.]

[You acquire the 『Deer Mask』.]

A mask identical to the deer mask they had fought until just a moment ago appeared.

As Varen looked at it and searched here and there, system text appeared again.

[Would you like to challenge the next trial?]

[Yes / No]

[If you end the trial now, you can go outside with the rewards obtained so far.]

“Huuuum.”

As Varen muttered as if pondering a bit.

Naturally, the investigation team members went into an uproar.

“Ah! We have to go for it!”

“It feels like we just experienced the entrance, shouldn't we go further?”

“Hear, hear!”

“Still, tell us if you judge it to be dangerous, Varen.”

The investigation team members spoke like that.

And the viewers also typed in chat as if curious.

-Please challenge it!

-Wow if he gives up here and leaves he isn't Varen.

-Agreed lol Varen would definitely take it.

When everyone was talking like that, Varen glared at them as if asking what nonsense they were talking about.

And spoke as if disappointed.

“No, don't you guys see that?”

“Huh? Uh?!”

“Uh?!”

“Heok!?”

“Th, that!?”

Everyone looked where Varen was pointing.

Something like a groove where something could be placed was carved on the floor, which wasn't well visible because it was hidden by deer masks.

-Wow how did he see that in that short time?

-That’s Varen for you! That’s Varen for you! That’s Varen for you!

-Must have seen it while fighting?

-That's why he found it right away.

The viewers acknowledged him like that, and the other investigation team members were the same.

“I, I couldn't see it because I was fighting, that's amazing.......”

“Exactly.”

“Anyway, wouldn't it fit perfectly if we put the mask here?”

At the other investigation team member's words, Varen also nodded his head and looked at the Deer Mask in his hand.

Usually, in the case of such gimmicks, the probability of it being a trap was very low.

Other investigation team members also couldn't hide their excitement.

Naturally, in this case, there was only one action to take.

‘It’s an adventure!’

The moment Varen, thinking that inwardly, inserted the mask into the groove.

The entire room moved and descended like an elevator.

Because it was the same appearance as when they first entered, a few investigation team members flinched and trembled, muttering.

“Don't tell me it was a trap?”

“No, but would they hide a trap so thoroughly if that were the case.......”

“Th, that’s what I’m saying.”

The room moving from the Deer Mask room like that.

When the movement of the room gradually stopped, a room with a distinctly different atmosphere from the previous room appeared.

First of all, there were no masks on the walls, and it wasn't an atmosphere for combat.

Just when they were thinking surely it wouldn't change suddenly after this.

Suddenly, one side of the wall began to open slowly.

Seeing that, the investigation team members looked as if they had been tricked at once, and Varen also raised his sword with a look of dismay and shouted.

“Combat preparation!”

As everyone was tense like that, the wall opened completely.

A man wearing a black mask walked out.

A man wearing a crown made of obsidian and a robe containing an antique night, looking as if he would truly reign.

Ttogak, ttogak.

The people who saw that appearance prepared for battle seeing him appear wearing a mask at first, but they had no choice but to stop at Varen's words.

“Demon King?”

At Varen's words, the man wearing the black mask, no, Seonghyun looked at Varen as if troubled and answered.

“......Hello?”

Naturally, the viewers went into an uproar at Seonghyun's appearance.

-Why is Hyung coming out here!?!?!?
