The Game of the Greatest Black Mage-Chapter 350

Chapter 350

2.

It had been quite a while since Seonghyun, Helena, Belladrina, Serphina, and Fiora had arrived here.

Nevertheless, the reason they couldn't proceed at all was simple.

Before the Intelligence Knights entered.

A strange system message appeared in front of Seonghyun, who arrived at the tomb first.

[The Tomb of the Masked Lord is conducted as a team battle.]

[The trial will begin when a total of 3 or more teams of five gather.]

“Ah.”

It wasn't for any special reason, but because there was a limit on the number of people.

Even if they arrived early, there was nothing they could do.

Well, that's over now.

[A new team enters the tomb.]

[Current personnel inside the tomb: 30 people]

[A total of six teams have entered.]

[The trial begins.]

The place where Seonghyun and the four women were began to change gradually.

It moved as if the ground were descending like an elevator.

Kugeugeugeugeu.

Although the sound of walls scratching due to friction was heard.

No one was worried or anxious.

Fiora trembled a little, but she was just showing that appearance, not really scared.

‘Wait, is she?’

Seonghyun briefly thought that.

But he just moved on, assuming she wasn't.

How long did they wait?

As the heavily moving floor stopped.

Cheolkeok.

It stopped with the sound of something connecting, and soon the surrounding scenery changed, arriving in a room rampant with masks painted similarly to clowns.

Looking at the appearance of the clown.

Although it was giving off a somewhat strange feeling, no one showed any particular reaction except for Fiora.

Just then.

One side of the wall began to open, and something wearing a mask appeared.

It wasn't the form of a living creature.

Its appearance felt artificial in its joints like a wooden puppet, and although the material wasn't wood, it gave a similar feeling.

And the mask worn by that doll-like guy was a mask painted with a clown picture filling the wall.

“Kkigikgikgik.”

The guy was moving while making bizarre sounds.

At some point, a sword was held in its hand, and Seonghyun and his party all prepared to move.

Seeing it holding a sword.

It seemed to be a melee type.

Just as Seonghyun was about to draw his sword with that thought.

Helena reacted first, smiled strangely, and yielded her turn to Belladrina.

-Your Majesty, it is not a sword!

Seonghyun reacted immediately to that shout.

Seeing the energy felt was freezing cold.

As soon as Seonghyun felt that, he drew up the power of the Inferno Lord.

Simultaneously, the clown mask swung its sword.

Violet flames soared and formed a wall where Seonghyun stretched his hand, and the sword swung by the clown mask soon brought a freezing chill along with a fierce storm, not a sword strike.

Subsequently, spears of ice formed in an instant and flew towards the wall of violet flames.

Hwareureureu———!!!

However, the hellfire burning everything melted all the ice spears, and it was enough to defend.

And at that moment, Belladrina's two eyes shone black and she raised her hand towards the sky.

Then a black sun appeared.

The black sun unfolding from Belladrina's hand appeared brightly even though this was indoors, and spread around burning with black flames.

Simultaneously, at a single gesture of her hand, black flames bloomed and flew towards the clown mask, and the clown mask swung its sword again at that moment.

Then light suddenly appeared.

Brightening the black flames, it erased all the black flames.

-It is a stronger fellow than I thought. But if you give me a chance, I will try to suppress it.

Seonghyun also pondered for a moment at Belladrina's earnest appearance and nodded his head.

He wanted to see Belladrina's skills anyway.

Although she had shown tremendous skills in intelligence and such information warfare until now.

He hadn't seen combat skills befitting the title Master of the Black Sun.

As Seonghyun nodded his head as if permitting.

Serphina and Fiora stepped back.

Although Serphina showed signs of disappointment for not being able to perform.

Fiora smiled freshly and muttered excitedly.

-Oh, I'll be able to watch Ms. Belladrina's battle after a long time!

“Indeed. Looks fun, right?”

Helena also smiled freshly and responded to Fiora's story.

Hearing that story, Seonghyun also became more curious and watched the fight between the two.

First.

‘What is the power of that clown mask?’

He felt it was a bit strange because it showed an appearance contrary to the power it used.

It was the same now.

He thought it would cut down the black flames summoned by Belladrina or block them with magic.

But when it swung its sword, all the black flames disappeared like magic.

Since it has the appearance of a clown.

Does it make it look like magic?

He had that thought.

But he didn't think hastily.

Let's watch for now.

At that moment, the clown mask that swallowed Belladrina's black flames began to move.

Odododo.

The quickly moving clown mask.

However, Belladrina's speed was also quite fast.

Drawing black flames from the black sun summoned earlier, she drew out countless black lines like sharp thorns and shot them at the guy.

However, the clown mask's movement exceeded Belladrina's speed.

As the clown mask reached right in front of Belladrina's nose after dodging all attacks.

Soon, the sword held in its hand turned into a staff.

Seeing that, Belladrina gestured as if displeased, creating a defensive barrier of black flames, and towards that defensive barrier of black flames, the clown mask swung its staff.

Belladrina reacted instantly and snapped her fingers even though she already had a defensive barrier.

But simultaneously, a sharp aura popped out from the staff and cut through the defensive barrier without resistance.

Seogeok——!

The moment he mistook that even Belladrina was cut as the defensive barrier was cut whole.

The form of the cut Belladrina soon changed with intense heat and caused a huge explosion around it.

Kwaaaaaaang——!!!

Although the fierce flames of black fire wrapped around the surroundings and an explosion engulfed the area with strong vibrations.

No one was surprised by that.

Everyone was focused on the battle, and Belladrina reappeared before anyone knew it, creating a sphere of black flames like a small sun and throwing it at the center of the explosion.

Naturally, the clown mask escaping from there.

It appeared without even a scratch, wondering how it survived that shock, and retreated.

Belladrina muttered as if she understood, looking at such a clown mask.

-Hmm, as expected.

Words as if she grasped the guy's identity at once.

However, there was no one here who didn't know that.

-It is a Mask of Deception.

“Kkigikgikki.”

As if responding to Belladrina's words, its neck bent at a bizarre angle and a strange sound rang out.

But whether it did or not, Belladrina launched attacks towards the clown mask as if it didn't matter, and Seonghyun was admiring it.

He was feeling that Belladrina's strategy and brain were quite good.

The identity of the mask with that clown painted on it is, as Belladrina said, the Mask of Deception.

In other words, it means producing something completely opposite to what is seen.

Using deception continuously.

It was the same now.

When Belladrina attacked, it held a dagger and swung at the empty air.

Suddenly, Belladrina's attack exploded in the empty air as if blocked by the empty air.

‘The dagger is a shield.’

Seonghyun also saw it and grasped it immediately.

And naturally, if that clown mask is a Mask of Deception.

It was obvious.

Belladrina also knew it, so she made black flames ripple around and spread them towards the Mask of Deception.

The moment it tried to leave the spot quickly.

Belladrina's eyes shone and she launched an attack towards the black shadow remaining in the spot the Mask of Deception dodged.

Then.

Kwajijijik.

Along with the sound of something breaking, the clown masks filling the wall soon cracked and began to break one by one.

As expected, even that visible clown mask was not the main body.

Belladrina, who quickly grasped that, attacked the shadow, and it was successful.

-I have eliminated the enemy blocking Your Majesty's path.

Seonghyun nodded his head at the appearance of Belladrina bowing loyally.

It was certainly excellent.

‘The Mask of Deception was stronger than I thought, but she dealt with it quickly.’

Although the gimmick felt a bit obvious, that didn't mean it was easy to find the main body.

It was a faint shadow really hard to notice, and Belladrina, who noticed it at once and attacked, was amazing.

Anyway, since she caught it.

Isn't that enough?

Around the time he was thinking that.

A system message appeared before Seonghyun.

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

[You acquire the 『Mask of Deception』.]

Along with that text, the Mask of Deception was held in Seonghyun's hand.

Do I have to collect these masks while passing the trials?

Although he didn't fully understand what it was yet.

‘I’ll find out as I go.’

Seonghyun thought nonchalantly and answered the next system message that 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.]

It seemed a bit tempting.

But it didn't work on Seonghyun.

There was no way he would end the trial after coming this far.

“I challenge the trial.”

As Seonghyun said that.

The ground Seonghyun was stepping on vibrated slowly again and began to descend like an elevator, and soon they arrived at a place painted with different masks.

What kind of mask is it this time?

The revealed wall was filled with masks having mushy faces.

And the mask that appeared as the wall opened was also a doll wearing a mask with a mushy, or precisely, a melting face.

-M, may I d, do it this time?

At that time, Fiora spoke cautiously.

Seonghyun also wanted to fight, but since it wasn't a boss battle right now.

“Sure, go ahead.”

As Seonghyun's permission fell, the other two, excluding Helena, looked a little disappointed.

Still, perhaps they had no intention of interfering with Fiora, as Fiora stepped forward, the two approached Seonghyun's side again.

What kind of mask is that melting mask?

Around the time they were watching with considerable expectation.

The team of Intelligence Knights without the Vice-Commander had all fallen to the floor vomiting blood.

Knights who were all injured without exception.

A whopping four out of five had died.

And the remaining one also looked at the dolls surrounding him while seriously injured.

There wasn't just one doll wearing a mask painted with a picture that looked like multiple masks overlapping.

Even now.

Paseuseuseu.

“It, it still increas... Kuaaaak!”

With those last words, even the last remaining knight was done in by the swarming dolls wearing masks.

And at that moment, a system message appeared to everyone.

[Current personnel inside the tomb: 25 people]

[Teams taking the trial: 5 teams]

The trial was still ongoing.
