The Game of the Greatest Black Mage-Chapter 353
Chapter 353
Demon King.
There was one thing most people thought of when they heard that name.
He must be good, but surely the reputation is exaggerated.
Although he often showed outstanding appearances in live videos, it was plausible to think it might look more exaggerated on video.
Also, even if he had achieved a lot in reality, one couldn't help but think there was a difference between video and reality.
Varen was one of them, but.
-Didn't Varen take 30 minutes with full power against the Deer Mask that looked weak?
-Eh, did the owner take 30 minutes while the Demon King took less than 30 seconds?
-No no no not the owner alone, the owner's party took 30 minutes lol
-Lololol what's with the difference???
As existing viewers informed the viewers drawn by the aggro of Seonghyun being there about facts they didn't know, it became even more of a topic.
Indeed, they were people who came to see the Demon King.
Varen didn't care much up to that point.
However, he couldn't help but drop his jaw, perhaps because he didn't know Seonghyun would be this strong.
The difference in level was this much?
“Cra... zy.”
Still, aren't they users of the same level range?
But looking at the level right now, he far surpassed Varen.
To be honest, he felt like he was looking at a ranker of at least level 300.
It showed how surprised Varen was.
And simultaneously, Varen felt it.
How much Seonghyun had gone easy on them.
“Varen, if he's the Demon King, I think he could have killed us as soon as he discovered us?”
“I think we would have been out immediately with just one gesture.......”
“I, I think so too.”
“......Sh, shall we look for gimmicks?”
As the investigation team members hinted to Varen and went off.
Varen had no choice but to agree.
Varen was also confident in his own way regarding combat, but after seeing that, he was too shabby to show himself.
Whether they did or not, Seonghyun wondered if he should help a bit watching Varen and the investigation team members looking for gimmicks.
‘I feel like I'm making them do too much.’
When Seonghyun was thinking that.
Belladrina spoke to Seonghyun as if it were natural.
-It is an honor for them just to be of help to Your Majesty, so please do not be concerned.
“......Huuuum.”
It's not really a world with a caste system, so how could that be?
Still, since there was Belladrina's loyalty, he didn't ignore it recklessly.
But it wasn't just Belladrina who thought that way.
“Huuung, I think so too.”
-M, me too Lord.
Serphina and Fiora made a shocking confession that they were thinking the same thing.
When Seonghyun was troubled hearing those words.
The mediator Helena smiled freshly and said.
“You have to understand their loyalty. And although Belladrina spoke radically, it is true to some extent.”
“Hm?”
When he looked at Helena asking what nonsense that was.
Helena answered looking at Seonghyun.
“Think about it, aren't they strangers like you? Just the fact that you help with combat makes them grateful to you right now.”
“Ah.”
“They also wanted to explore this place, and Seonghyun, you even say you'll rescue their colleagues and let them explore here, they'd be thankful even if they just stayed still, right?”
“That’s true.”
As Seonghyun nodded his head as if he finally understood Helena's words.
Helena also smiled slightly looking at such Seonghyun and said.
“So let's just wait quietly.”
Seonghyun also agreed with that and nodded his head.
As Seonghyun and his vassals waited quietly for the investigation team members like that.
Varen quickly set out to find gimmicks, and it didn't take long to find one.
“Found it! There's a groove here!”
He finally discovered a groove to place the Proliferation Mask.
They harbored an expectation that a special gimmick might activate again this time, allowing them to meet another team.
But just then, as he inserted the mask into the groove.
A strange system text appeared.
[Conditions met, map is activated.]
Duuung——!
What appeared along with that text was none other than a 3D map.
And that map wasn't a normal appearance, but a map shaped like a 4x4 cube, and among them, a red glowing dot could be found on the underground 3rd floor, towards the center.
It was an effect recognizable at a glance.
“It seems that red dot is us.”
“Yes, it seems so.”
As the representatives Seonghyun and Varen talked like that.
The viewers also typed in chat as if they found the wondrous spectacle quite interesting.
-Wow the gimmick is proper?
-First time seeing a place giving a tomb map in 3D.
-Oh exciting?
-Isn't this the first time for the Demon King in a dungeon with such gimmicks?
-Coming in with the investigation team was a god's move lol
-Fr lol
Since the appearance Seonghyun had shown so far was closer to the physical side than the brain.
Naturally, among the viewers, speculation or using brains had to be ignored.
However.
As Seonghyun discovered something strange and examined the map carefully.
He could see things other than the red dot.
“This seems to be marks of other teams.”
“Yes? Ah? It really is?”
The parts Seonghyun mentioned were places where light was dim among the glowing cubes, and there were a total of 3 such places besides their place with the red dot.
Exactly places presumed to be two investigation teams and one Intelligence Knight Order.
Two places were on the 3rd floor where Seonghyun's party was, but one was on the 2nd floor side.
Seonghyun thought for a moment then asked.
“It's good that there's a map, but we've only been going down so far, how should we go there?”
“Ssseup, that is the problem.”
Whether it was the investigation team or the Intelligence Knights over there wasn't very important.
Since he just had to go there.
With this, he became able to rescue the investigation team members more smoothly, but the problem was how to move sideways.
Then suddenly, Seonghyun discovered a mark like a door on one side of a cube on the map, and subsequently, Varen also pointed to it as if he had discovered it as well.
“There's something like a door here.”
“Yes, but seeing that the doors all point in one direction, it seems difficult to see it as only being able to move this way.”
“Huuuum, it must have a symbolic meaning.”
“Yes, it seems so.”
As Varen and Seonghyun were having a serious conversation.
The viewers were looking at Seonghyun as if quite surprised.
-No, this man, handsome, good at games, and smart too?
-Ah, please please 3.......
-(This is a blocked viewer.)
-Ah seriously so unfair.
- ;; ;; ;; ;; ;; ;; ;;
Since Seonghyun naturally couldn't see the chat window, he couldn't know, and Varen didn't care much either.
Then suddenly, Seonghyun lifted his head seeing the thing called a door.
He could see the wall where the dolls wearing masks appeared just in time.
And unlike other walls, there were no masks on that wall, and seeing that, Seonghyun said.
“Ah? Wouldn't this door mark signify the place where the dolls come out?”
“Uh!? Then since we move if we accept to take more trials, if we stand in the center and accept the message to take more trials, that team goes down, and wouldn't the rest move according to the direction?”
“Huuuum, that makes sense.”
As Seonghyun and Varen put their heads together like that, the story came out quickly.
Of course, this could be wrong, but it seemed they had found all the clues available in the current situation.
Thinking there might be other clues after the map appeared, other investigation team members who were ordered to investigate also shook their heads.
If there are no further hints.
There is no choice but to push ahead.
Seonghyun thought so and stood on the left wall where the closest dot among the places likely to have other teams was located, and recalled the text he had put aside.
[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.]
As he stood on the left based on the door and pressed Yes.
The room, which had only been heading down except for before meeting Varen, began to move to the left where Seonghyun was standing this time.
And watching that, everyone burst into cheers.
“Wow! Correct!”
“Keuheuheu, to think Demon King-nim uses his brain well too.”
“Varen did well too.”
-It is natural for Your Majesty to accomplish it. You ignorant fools.
“Hmph, this much is basic for our Monarch.”
-L, Lord is smart!
“Ahahahaha! Our Seonghyun is indeed amazing!”
Seonghyun stayed still, but the vassals made a fuss.
And looking at those women.
- ;; ;; ;; ;; ;; ;;
-What job do I need to have for beauties like that to praise me?
-First, you have to be handsome.
-Ah ;; ;; ;; ;; ;; ;; ;; ;;
-So you're saying we can't do it~
The viewers were talking like that and comforting each other as if pitiful, while Seonghyun and the others, whose room was moving, were waiting curiously about what kind of room would appear.
But then, the room that was gradually revealed in front of everyone, including Seonghyun, was showing a strange appearance.
A mask painted with a red droplet like a blood drop.
Looking at it, he wondered if it was a Blood Mask, but at that moment, text appeared before Seonghyun's eyes.
[This is a mask derived from a Lord-type skill you possess.]
Along with that message, as Seonghyun looked at the newly appearing mask with a thought of 'no way'. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
A doll walking out slowly with blood-red blood arrogantly created blood and floated it in the empty air.
As if mimicking Seonghyun using a skill. And Seonghyun could half feel it.
Don't tell me the power possessed by the Masked Lord is?
When Seonghyun was making such a conjecture, Helena nodded her head and answered.
“Yeah, what you're thinking is right, Seonghyun.”
“......I can make the power of other Lords into a mask?”
“Yeah, not just Lords, but power itself can be condensed and made into a mask, and the opponent wearing the mask can use that power. That is the power of the Masked Lord.”
To think a skill is making a certain power into a mask and enabling one to exert that power with it.
Seonghyun had no choice but to smile as soon as he heard that.
Because the utility was greater than he thought.
Speaking bluntly, what if Seonghyun copied the power of the Blood Lord into a mask and granted it to one of the ordinary soldiers of death, not his vassals?
A Blood Lord Death Legion would be created.
Of course, it would be difficult to go that far due to materials or consumption, but.
It was a power that could become a considerable strategy and military force.
Actually.
‘Since they have increased to the point where it's hard for me to use them all alone.’
I must get this.
As Seonghyun made up his mind and smiled.
The Blood Mask scattering the power of blood in front of such Seonghyun as if he were ridiculous.
However, Seonghyun snapped his fingers as if it were rather ridiculous.
Tak!
Then, the blood the guy summoned flew back as if reversing and shot at the guy, and as countless fragments of blood pierced the guy's whole body like awls, the guy had no choice but to collapse leaving the mask behind.
It was the price for daring to use clumsy blood power in front of the true Blood Lord.
Anyway, that wasn't what was important right now.
‘I definitely have to get the Masked Lord.’
