The Game of the Greatest Black Mage-Chapter 360

Chapter 360

4.

Deathbone Dragon, Veljarak Draxion.

Although Helena said it was okay, because there were still lacking aspects, Seonghyun released his vassals and legion to hunt across the entire range.

Since it was an unexplored area that even the investigation team hadn't reached yet, no one could know about Seonghyun's hunting.

Thus, as tens of thousands of the Death Legion and vassals commanding Monarch-class power stepped out into the unexplored area.

His level rose as if sweeping in an instant, and in the midst of that, the levels risen were a whopping 2.

How long had it been since he became 253 at the Masked Lord's tomb? He had already reached 255.

[Level Up!]

[You have reached Level 255.]

Although he showed a leveling speed of tremendous pace.

Actually, Seonghyun had a slightly dissatisfied expression as if he wasn't satisfied.

Does he have no conscience?

Such thoughts arose, but think about it the other way around.

‘To think the level rose by only 2 with the experience points obtained by tens of thousands of soldiers fighting for several hours.’

Even if the Overlord shared experience points with various vassals, this was a bit too severe.

But what can he do.

He has no choice but to follow the saying that great power comes with great responsibility.

Even if he doesn't want to follow, what can he do.

Since there is no method other than following.

Seonghyun finished hunting like that and came out of the capsule.

Although it felt like he came out after a really long time, Seonghyun just accepted it and had a harmonious dinner with his family.

“Seonghyun, what level are you?”

“255.”

“??? It went up a lot.”

“It didn't go up as much as I thought.”

“Huuuum, if there are many vassals, that can happen.”

At his sister Yoo Mina's words, Seonghyun also had no choice but to agree.

Classes without vassals seemed to have faster leveling, but conversely, since there are no experience points earned by vassals, isn't it actually similar?

“Still, the balance itself is similar in the end, so don't worry.”

“I should.”

At Seonghyun's words, Yoo Mina was about to stop caring and speak, but suddenly looked at Seonghyun and asked again.

It seemed she was curious about many things.

“So where is the current region? You got the free pass, right?”

Since it seemed like she was asking if he received the pass, Seonghyun nodded his head.

Because he actually received it right after that.

Seonghyun nodded his head.

“It's the eighth region, but I think I'll stay here for the time being?”

He thought about going up to level, but since he heard directly from Nocturn that Veljarak's sealing site is near the Masked Lord's tomb, he was thinking that hunting in that vicinity would be efficient.

Certainly, as he explored the unexplored area deeper, the frequency of undead appearing was increasing.

It wasn't a wilderness or a cursed land, but undead appearing this much in a forest was definitely unnatural.

Anyway, around the time Seonghyun was thinking that.

Seonghyun also became curious suddenly and asked Yoo Mina.

“Come to think of it, what happened to the rankers after Apophis?”

Didn't Yoo Mina show the spirit of rising to 5th place in the single rankings after killing rankers at Apophis?

However, Seonghyun thought they wouldn't leave Yoo Mina alone after she reached that point, so he asked what happened.

Yoo Mina answered as if she didn't care much.

“Those guys? I don't know? Seems like they're doing something, but it doesn't matter if they attack.”

“True.”

In the first place, didn't ranks 5, 6, 7, and 8 unite to attack, yet Yoo Mina won?

It didn't seem like it would be a problem even if more attacked.

It meant Yoo Mina was that amazing, so Seonghyun didn't think much of it.

Yoo Mina told such Seonghyun.

“Since they are on different servers, the time zones are a bit messy, so it's hard to meet.”

“Ah, you said it's an integrated server after the tenth region, right?”

“Yeah, time zones are different for each region, so there's fun in exploring too. Why don't you come quickly too?”

Seonghyun also smiled as if quite expectant, thinking that's how the world after level 300 was.

Since his skills or power itself had reached level 300.

‘Should I skip the ninth region and move to the tenth after finishing this job?’

The ninth region was famous for being a place with no particular characteristics, so even those in the rankings wanted to skip the ninth region quickly.

Although they couldn't really skip like Seonghyun who was issued a pass, wanting to level up quickly was the same.

Because it was called the most boring section.

Just as Seonghyun was pondering whether to skip the ninth region with that thought.

Yoo Mina urged such Seonghyun.

“The ninth region isn't even fun, so just come over right away.”

“Huuuum.”

Still, even if he possessed the skills of level 300, he had to be a little careful.

It wouldn't be too late to think about it after catching Veljarak first.

Seonghyun pondered roughly, then nodded his head as if he understood and answered.

“I'll think about it.”

“Hmph, do that.”

Yoo Mina also answered coyly.

Whether she did or not, Seonghyun ate dinner thinking he should level up until tomorrow, washed up simply after dinner, used his phone for a bit, and fell asleep. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

The unexplored area near Nocturn, the eighth city, which had become completely dark at night.

The sound of hooves, unbefitting the forest, was heard fiercely there.

Dageudak—!

Dageudak——!

Dageudakdageudak———!

Along with the sound of hooves ringing loudly across the earth, the forest trembled for a moment as if vibrating, but those riding the horses didn't care about anything.

The knight order handling horses competently to avoid all trees and sprinting through the forest.

Reindel, the Commander of the Mirror Knights, discovered the site of the ruin that had disappeared without a trace and had no choice to crumple his face.

Although there was an investigation team nearby, he stopped the horses in front of the site where the traces of the ruin were without even caring, and ordered an informant to investigate.

“Investigate the site.”

“Yes.”

A few informants quickly got off their horses at Reindel's words and investigated the site.

But nothing of note came out.

Reindel, frowning, wondered if he should drag one of the investigation team members and interrogate them, but he shook his head.

It would be burdensome even for Reindel to deal with all the investigation team members.

Of course, he could do it, but the number of informants was too small to erase all traces.

It was better to ask for cooperation.

Judging so, he spoke to one or two informants.

“While you inquire of the investigation team members, the knight order will finish preparing to camp here.”

““Yes!””

Along with the knight order answering loudly, the informants also answered.

A few informants were discovering traces at the Masked Lord's tomb just in case they found something unknown, and two informants went to the nearby investigation team members and asked for cooperation.

Since this wasn't Rieskan Kingdom territory, they hid their identities, but the informants, pretending to be archaeologists with excellent ability, appealed to the NPC investigation team members saying the ruin they were looking for had disappeared, and the members, deeply empathizing with that feeling, told them quite in detail.

The informants, who even heard about the characteristics of the stranger who could clear the ruin entered together with strangers, returned as they were and reported to Reindel.

“A stranger with such characteristics.......”

“Yes, there is only one person.”

At the informant's words, Reindel smiled as if it were rather interesting.

“Is it the Overlord?”

“Yes, it is him, the successor of Over Palace.”

“He is wandering around here without a single Over Palace guard attached. Is that what you're saying?”

“Yes, as far as we confirmed, he came accompanied only by his own vassals.”

“Interesting.”

Reindel said so sincerely and nodded his head saying it was good.

If someone took the Masked Lord, he just had to take it back.

Even if that person is a stranger, nothing changes.

Even if that stranger is the Overlord.

No, it's actually better.

If it's the Overlord, wasn't he the guy who could be called the most annoying enemy of the Rieskan Kingdom?

Since the Sword Saint also regarded the Overlord as a thorn in his side.

It's actually a very good opportunity to establish merit.

As Reindel thought so and looked at the informant.

The informant continued to report further.

“I also heard that he went towards the deeper unexplored area. Perhaps if we also go deeper, we will be able to discover the Overlord.”

“An unexpected windfall.”

“Yes, it seems so.”

He already knew all about the Overlord's achievements.

So wouldn't he also know well that he is a thorn in the side?

But at most.

“It's very laughable seeing him act like a king against chaff.”

Reindel said so and smiled fishily.

Then he said.

“Tomorrow is a very good opportunity to steal the Overlord's power. You packed that, right?”

As he said so and gave a hint to the informant.

At Reindel's words, the informant immediately took out something and showed it, saying.

“Unfortunately, we couldn't bring a large quantity of devices, but since we brought two more as spares, if we catch the Overlord, we will probably be able to snatch at least three Lords.”

The device the informant took out and showed while saying so was a gourd bottle containing an evil bead made by demons.

A device capable of absorbing the power of a Monarch.

It was a groundbreaking device created by the Celestials who were said to have tried to endanger this continent together with the demons in the distant past.

Since there weren't many in number, they could only bring three at most, but this was enough.

If he weakens the Overlord's power with this?

‘I too will be able to be promoted to where Monarchs and Monarch-class knights belong.’

Reindel thought so and did not doubt his promotion.

He was confident that there was no way Seonghyun, who was at most in the eighth region, could beat him, who exceeded level 300 if expressed in strangers' numbers.

Of course, there were the Overlord's most annoying vassals, but he didn't care much about that either.

Since he also brought his entire knight order, who were competent knights.

He wouldn't dare face them.

Not doubting so, Reindel shouted to the knight order members.

“There will be a battle tomorrow, so brace yourselves. You must do your best.”

At Reindel's words, the members of the Mirror Knights answered loudly without exception.

““Yes! Of course!!!””

And Reindel said to the informants lastly.

“Informants, watch us fight and aim for a gap, then use the device the moment I catch the Overlord.”

“Yes! Of course!”

Near their knight order briefing the operation like that, a rat resembling a black shadow squeaked and then disappeared seeping into the ground, and Belladrina, with one eye closed in the underworld where everyone was asleep, muttered as if displeased.

-Not even laughable.
