Chapter 266
[The hidden raid boss, 『Lich of the Necromancer Lord, Barseon』, has drawn out his power to the limit.]
[Phase 2 of the hidden raid boss, 『Lich of the Necromancer Lord, Barseon』, is deleted.]
Along with the two ssages, a sound was heard.
Crack, crackle, craaackle.
In an instant, the sound of freezing dominated the surroundings.
This place, originally teeming with specters, was a chilly place, but it had never been like this, a place of extre winter cold.
A cold chill spread through the surroundings and began to dominate the area.
The surroundings were being dyed a greyish-blue.
Within it, the violet fla eventually began to slowly lose its light.
Also, the heat was extinguished as if it had never been, and the once-proud advantage of the extre type matchup beca as precarious as the fading violet light.
Seonghyun watched this and looked at Barseon with a peculiar expression.
A forbidden magic, a magic that takes everything away.
Thus nad 'ruin' and beca a lost magic.
A magic that should have been impossible to unfold without the Grimoire of Ruin was manifested, and Barseon was slowly freezing.
Barseon, who tore apart everything he was, using his life as collateral, and scattered it like snowflakes, looked at Seonghyun with the expressionless face of a skeleton and shouted.
-Glory to the Necromancer Lord—!!!
After that, Barseon's cold gaze, which he had shouted out as if offering it to a god, gradually cooled down like the extre cold.
It was the price for summoning ruin to the world without a dium.
As Barseon scattered and beca a wind of extre cold.
In this area where Absolute Zero had been deployed, an even fiercer blizzard raged.
Whoooooosh—.
A wind as strong as a typhoon did not blow, but a cutting wind that sliced through everything blew, extinguishing even the warmth of life.
The only thing that could be called fortunate.
'They weren't caught in the range.'
...was that the Prism Effect party wasn't caught in the range.
Even as the violet fla faded, Seonghyun burned even more mana to illuminate the surroundings in violet.
He maximized and raised the subtle principles of heat contained in the fla.
But even that, as if Absolute Zero could not tolerate it, the blizzard began to grow fiercer.
In the midst of the cutting wind that charged with the determination to steal away the warmth at all costs.
The violet warmth protected Seonghyun, but.
Crackle, crack.
"..."
The tips of his fingers froze.
'So this is the magic of ruin, huh?'
Seonghyun thought that far and raised both hands as if in surrender.
He had intended to only use Inferno Lord until the end.
He had no choice but to admit this.
With that, the shadows at Seonghyun's feet montarily writhed.
Like the sun setting and dusk slowly creeping in, they enveloped Seonghyun's body.
The violet fla settled into Seonghyun's darkening body, and soon the darkness was dyed, and a black fla wrapped around him.
And as the concept of darkness was activated, it "severed" the "warmth" between Absolute Zero and himself.
A domain of darkness that could not be invaded.
Absolute Zero tried to invade sohow.
But as two or more concepts were mixed.
No matter how absolute Absolute Zero was, it could not invade that domain.
Saaaaa—!
The raging, cutting wind subsided as if a warm spring had blood.
And soon, the surrounding scenery was restored.
And the figure of Barseon, torn to shreds and disappeared, could not be seen anywhere.
"Hmm."
He had intended to only use Inferno Lord, but it turned out to be a pity.
But that didn't an the Lord of Darkness wasn't Seonghyun's power.
He didn't think he had lost.
It was just a little disappointing.
As Seonghyun thought that.
A system ssage appeared before his eyes.

[You have acquired a massive amount of experience!]

[The hidden raid boss, 『Lich of the Necromancer Lord, Barseon』, will no longer appear.]
[This is a hidden raid where information disclosure is impossible.]
[Information cannot be disclosed.]
'Oh.'
The much-coveted Absolute Zero was recorded, and a clue to a Hidden Legendary Quest at that.
On top of that, Inferno Lord was enhanced.
And finally.
Even a Life Vessel.
Looking at its effect, just having it in his inventory applied the effect.
It was an item that would resurrect him once a day when he was hit with a force that would have caused death.
Very excellent.
Of course, he wondered if he would ever die.
In any case, it was better than nothing.
'Do I have two resurrection effects now?'
When it ca to resurrection effects, the more the rrier.
He brushed it off and moved on.
So, what remained was.
'Septem Arcana?'
The place na sounded familiar...
First, he was more curious about why this map appeared than where he had heard it.
It was strange that this map appeared out of nowhere.
And Vasile's brother, Barseon, had it?
It definitely ant it was related to the Necromancer Lord.
'It's not in Vasile's mories.'
Vasile didn't know where the Necromancer Lord had gone.
But did her brother, Barseon, know?
For now, he had to go to Septem Arcana.
As he thought that, a mory suddenly ca to him.
Information he had heard in Sysbalt, the sixth city and the city of knights.
'Hmm, from what I hear, over there, yes, in the expression of the outsiders, the seventh region, Septem Arcana, a person with a weapon imbued with demonic energy has appeared.'
The city where a weapon imbued with demonic energy had appeared, and also the city of mages.
Could the Necromancer Lord be there?
He was a very old monarch.
He might be dead.
Seeing as the cuirass had co to Seonghyun, that was the most likely possibility.
In any case, hadn't he obtained a clue to a Hidden Legendary Quest?
'The next destination has been decided.'
Seonghyun thought to himself.
While Seonghyun was deep in thought.
The Prism Effect party mbers were staring at Seonghyun with a dazed expression after his victory.
They probably didn't see the final mont when he used darkness.
Still, it was natural for them to be in a daze.
He had single-handedly taken care of a hidden raid boss that the four of them couldn't even lay a finger on.
Seonghyun, who had been lost in thought, finally rembered them and found them staring at him blankly.
They seed quite shocked.
As Seonghyun was wondering what to say to them.
Surprisingly, Ir was the first to speak.
"I-I knew you were amazing, but... you're even more amazing..."
As Ir broke the ice.
"...Honestly, I can only say thank you so much for helping our party..."
"Thank you so much."
"Thanks to you, we had a great experience."
Once you reach level 240, it's hard to see you as an ordinary person.
They were among the better players on Tuber.
A level where they could comfortably make a living as a pro.
In other words, they had the skills to be proud of.
But the Prism Effect party was not like that.
Because they were people who knew at least basic courtesy.
"We'll give you the rewards we got too."
"Honestly, it's not much, though."
"We'll feel more at ease if we give you at least this."
"Haha, please accept it."
"...Ah."
Seonghyun seed a little troubled by that, but then he nodded.
He received the gold and items they handed over.
Honestly, it didn't seem like the items dropped from Barseon just now.
The contribution ratio showed that Seonghyun had done over 99% of the work.
It was unlikely that anything would have dropped for them.
In other words.
'They're giving it from their own pockets.'
But there was more gold than he expected.
It would be rude to refuse when they were being this insistent.
He accepted it gracefully.
The items weren't really usable for him.
But it would be good to sell them or give them to the undead.
After Seonghyun received all the rewards and the disturber of the Necromancer Lord's castle quest was gone, he was able to clear it soon after.
Finally, after arriving back in Luncia and receiving the quest rewards.
All business was concluded.
"Thank you so much!"
"Really!"
"You worked hard."
"Hahaha! It would be great to see you again soday!"
Receiving the farewells from Prism Effect, Seonghyun also bid them farewell.
"Thank you as well."
Thanks to them, he was able to go to the Necromancer Lord's castle without it taking a long ti.
So.
Now it was ti to find the traces left by the Necromancer Lord.
Ti to head to Septem Arcana.
'Then, where should I go?'
The place where the one who possessed the weapon imbued with demonic energy appeared.
And the city where the Necromancer Lord is presud to have headed.
'What will happen this ti?'
With an adventurous spirit, Seonghyun headed to the new city.
Septem Arcana, the city of mages.
0.
Septem Arcana was called the city of mages, and it was a city that could be said to be centered around a greyish-blue magic tower called the Serul Spire, which stood tall and proud.
The the of this place, fitting for a city of mages, was that most things were related to the magic tower, and there were a considerable number of scenarios related to mages.
However, it was also one of the few cities in the seventh region where the main scenario had not yet been discovered.
So people wondered if the main scenario had not yet progressed, while others claid that if not, the main scenario itself was hidden.
It was not yet discovered, so no one knew whose story was correct.
In any case, having co to this city ant that one was bound to be involved with that greyish-blue magic tower, the Serul Spire.
And for so reason, in Septem Arcana, both residents and users seed excited.
NPCs were setting off celebratory fireworks on every street, and users walking down the streets were also cheering.
"Yippee!!!"
"Kyaaaa!!!"
"The Master of the Serul Magic Tower is different!!!"
"I'm in a good mood!!! Beer is half price today!!! Everyone, residents and outsiders alike!!!"
"Innkeeper, no take-backs!!!"
"Kwahahaha!!! That's so refreshing!!!"
"Finally!!! Omg! Then that will open up too!!!"
"Of course, didn't the Lord of the Magic Tower say so!"
A user who had just arrived here saw that and tilted their head with a bewildered expression.
'What in the world is going on?'
'Is there a festival or sothing?'
In that bewildering situation, another user who saw that user excitedly approached and spoke to them.
"Ah, you must be new here?!"
"Huh? Ah, yes."
"Uahaha!!! Of course! That dreadful demonic bow has finally been dealt with!!! So strong archer got a bow imbued with demonic energy and it was a huge headache here! And the Lord of the Magic Tower himself moved and took care of it!?"
The new user showed interest at the words of the user who spoke with heaving breaths, unable to contain their excitent.
To think that a weapon imbued with demonic energy had been dealt with.
At the interested look on that person's face, the still-excited user continued.
"But the Master of the Serul Magic Tower himself purified the demonic bow and put it up as a prize for a tournant that users can also participate in!?"
"Oh, a tournant?"
At those words, the user took off his black robe and asked again.
"Could you tell
in more detail?"
Seonghyun, who had taken off his robe, asked the user in detail.
And for good reason.
[A quest has been generated.]
→Find out about the demonic bow.
A new quest had been generated.
