The Game of the Greatest Black Mage-Chapter 361

Chapter 361

Seonghyun started his day according to his morning routine as usual.

He went for a run, took a shower, and ate a hearty breakfast.

During breakfast, his older sister Yoo Mina told him again to come over to the tenth region quickly, but Seonghyun brushed it off saying he would think about it, and logged into Eternal World today as well without fail.

Like that, the moment he logged in and summoned his vassals.

Seonghyun could feel at once that the atmosphere was unusual.

The vassals Seonghyun summoned all looked somewhat angry, and Seonghyun tilted his head looking at them.

‘What is it? Did they fight in the underworld?’

But could that be?

It wasn't just other vassals in the underworld, but Helena was there too, so could they fight?

Since the conditions were such that a fight couldn't be established in the first place, when Seonghyun looked at them, Helena approached Seonghyun with a grumpy expression as if she were quite annoyed and said.

“No, there are some insolent guys, you know?”

“Insolent guys?”

What does that mean suddenly?

When Seonghyun asked back to Helena with that thought.

Helena looked at Seonghyun and instead of answering, nodded her head, and Belladrina stepped forward and opened her mouth.

-May I dare to submit a report, Your Majesty.

Perhaps because he had adapted somewhat to Belladrina's extremely respectful tone, Seonghyun nodded his head without saying anything particular.

Then Belladrina said.

-It is none other than that the familiar I installed at the Masked Lord's tomb just in case has activated. They are those who found where we were and are pursuing us.

“Huuuum.”

He didn't ask who it was.

Because it was obvious.

It must be the Rieskan Kingdom.

Seonghyun could know about the mastermind without thinking deeply.

However, wondering what kind of people they were, he looked at Belladrina.

She explained immediately.

-The entire knight order has swarmed in. There were a few informants mixed in who could handle information. They tried to pursue us here as soon as the day broke, but I blocked them for now, so currently, they are wandering.

“The entire knight order, huh.”

Seonghyun smiled broadly even while asking back.

Although he couldn't know what knight order it was, since every knight order he met these days had mastered unique swordsmanship, there was something quite expectant about it.

It was due to none other than the power of the Multi-Faceted Lord obtained this time.

Although it was a power obtained by realizing the true power of the Masked Lord, it was similar to the ability the previous Masked Lord possessed.

First, the fact that one can trap the target's power in a mask and allow others to use that power was the same.

However, the power changed.

‘The Masked Lord could absorb about 60% of the existing power, while the Multi-Faceted Lord could copy up to 80%, right?’

Just because power is imbued into a mask doesn't mean the target's power disappears.

However, the ability here that didn't exist in the Masked Lord was.

‘If the absorbed target dies, it resides as 100% intact power.’

Unfortunately, it wasn't a condition that worked on users, but since it was an ability that worked well on NPCs.

There was a part that was quite expectant.

If someone possessing a Lord-type skill allowed the power of the Multi-Faceted Lord, an identical ability would be created.

Furthermore, if they died, it was no different from becoming a successor as it is.

That was why Seonghyun nodded as if the knight order that came this time was quite interesting.

Wondering what kind of ability the knight order possessed, for sure.

When Seonghyun was expecting like that.

Belladrina spoke words likely to satisfy such expectations of Seonghyun.

-The Commander is presumed to be a Monarch-class knight. The level is also identified to have exceeded 300.

An enemy of a considerably high level to meet in the eighth region.

That was why Seonghyun nodded his head as if it were rather good.

He had intended to do some leveling or loosen up his body before catching the Deathbone Dragon, Veljarak Draxion anyway.

To think they would come looking for him personally like this.

Thinking it would be a quite fun battle, Seonghyun spoke.

“So where are they right now?”

At Seonghyun's question asking with a light smile, Belladrina also answered happily, bowing her head.

-I shall lure them here.

Seonghyun nodded his head as if he heard a very satisfactory answer, and Helena also spoke as if it worked out well since they were insolent guys.

“We should teach them a severe lesson.”

At Helena's words, all the vassals Seonghyun summoned nodded their heads, and Seonghyun also decided to wait for them as if expectant.

7.

Reindel Silverrain was one of the geniuses whom no one disagreed with calling a natural-born knight since childhood.

He rose to success without any opposition from anyone in the family even in inheriting the Mirror Blade Arts passed down through generations in the Silverrain family.

Thanks to that, he was able to rise to the position of Commander at an age not even in his mid-20s.

Who could stop him, who possessed skills superior to anyone else and even handsome looks?

But Reindel Silverrain was a man with great ambition.

Although he entered under the Sword Saint whom he respected endlessly, he wanted to belong to the place called the Sun Knights, which he truly acknowledged.

A knight order where only Monarchs or Monarch-class knights, called the Sword Saint's strongest swords, could enter.

That was why Reindel was more sincere about this mission than anyone else.

Since it was an order given to him directly by none other than the Sword Saint.

This mission had to be more perfect than ever.

In the midst of that, to think the one who took the Masked Lord is none other than that troublemaker, the Overlord.

A golden opportunity to the point he wondered if there would be a better chance than this!

‘I’ll catch him.’

He already knew how strong the guy's vassals were from reports.

Didn't they say the Overlord himself was also a considerable expert?

However, even so, he wouldn't reach him.

If all the knight order members block the vassals, even if the entire knight order is annihilated, at least he himself would be able to catch the Overlord.

He intended to search for traces with that plan, but.

Anger surged.

‘Traces aren't visible.’

He tried to track him personally, not relying only on informants, but traces were not visible.

Just when he wondered if he should chase when the sound of battle was heard according to the investigation team members' testimony.

Kugugu.

A small tremor was transmitted through the ground.

Vibration transmitted here from a place far away.

Reindel, feeling that, smiled.

It seemed the guys had started moving again.

Reindel smiled at that thought and shouted to the other knights.

“Everyone, head north-north-east.”

It was a voice spoken quietly that looked to have no strength, but.

The entire knight order began to move like lightning as soon as they heard those words.

The knights at the vanguard rushed out quickly, clearing a path, and Reindel drove his horse and ran behind them.

One might say it was too hasty an approach, but it didn't matter.

Because there was a difference in class between the Overlord and themselves.

‘We know that the guys are there, and the guys don't know of our existence.’

Wouldn't this be the most effective time for a surprise attack?

Reindel thought so and rushed out laughing as if he had seized the advantageous high ground in battle.

Like that, how long did they run?

The vibration that was felt from afar just a moment ago now felt massive.

Kwaaaang———!!!

Kuuuung———!!!

Black clouds rising along with loud explosions.

And around those black clouds, a large wave was transmitted to the ground and spreading to the surroundings.

The shock burst the monster's head intact, and the moment the guy with a massive build crumbled and fell.

Reindel could see Seonghyun and his vassals, who could be called their targets.

It was the same for the knight order discovering them.

First of all, the knights charged with shields and lances, rushing at the vassals and disrupting the formation so they could be separated from Seonghyun.

Then, the vassals dodged that attack and moved away from Seonghyun, and as the knight order members formed groups to block the vassals, Reindel drew his sword and rushed towards Seonghyun, who was left alone.

Tudududu———!!!

The sprint of the warhorse rang out within striking distance, and Reindel's speed, rushing in while creating fierce dust clouds, was formidable.

Mounted combat, which could be called the moment a knight becomes strongest.

Seonghyun seemed to move as if trying to cope, but.

Reindel muttered as if sneering while looking at such Seonghyun.

‘It’s already late.’

He doesn't have such arrogant thoughts as catching the Overlord with just this one move.

However, with the thought that he would stand on significantly advantageous high ground with this one move, as Reindel swung his sword, the Mirror Blade Arts unfolded intact.

Light began to settle on Reindel's sword as if reflecting all light, then refracted the light showing lights of various prism shapes, and subsequently, as the sword shining like a mysterious mirror was swung towards Seonghyun.

Seonghyun muttered with a smile as if very satisfied rather than being bewildered watching that.

“So you are Reflection.”

Reindel was momentarily puzzled by the incomprehensible words, but he did not react in any way.

Anyway, he cannot block his sword or do anything.

Now that he possessed the sword strike of reflection, his sword was swordsmanship that reflected even defensive skills to completely eliminate them, and even if he attacked, it would reflect that attack as well, making it useless.

Like that, it was a sword swung as if the world were being reversed, but at that moment, a mirror sword strike containing a mysterious and bizarre world settled in Seonghyun's grasp, and at that moment, Reindel's two eyes opened as if to tear apart.

And Seonghyun, who was wearing the Mask of Reflection before anyone knew it, muttered.

“Is this how you do it?”

A torrent of power reflecting off each other and returning.

Light shattered to pieces and refracted, and the world disappeared as if co-destructing while reflecting each other's world.

Simultaneously feeling a mighty power, Seonghyun and Reindel were pushed back as they were, and Reindel, who was on the horse, realized that the warhorse could die if he endured like this, so he unsummoned the warhorse and landed on the ground himself, being pushed back while creating a long furrow behind him.

Chiiiii———!!!

Chwaaaaaaa———!!!

And it wasn't just Reindel who was pushed back like that, but Seonghyun was the same.

Rather, Seonghyun had no choice but to smirk looking at his legs stuck in the ground, creating two deeper and longer furrows.

It was true that it copies up to 80%.

“Multi-Faceted Lord is really awesome, isn't it?”

As he muttered so.

Reindel's two eyebrows raised as he looked at Seonghyun.

Is the Overlord really the Overlord after all?

Surprised that he handles that power, which he hadn't obtained long ago, to that extent, Reindel felt he should get serious and readjusted his grip on the sword.

And then he spoke looking at Seonghyun.

“I will kill you and take the power of at least three or more Lords.”

And Seonghyun, who heard those words, spoke informally as if there was no need to respect him.

“It won't be easy.”

As Seonghyun, who smiled broadly, gripped the sword again like that, Reindel moved first.
