The Game of the Grea Chapter 333

Chapter 333

The world vibrated as if screaming.

An energy that even the world dared not handle spread out through the heart that the brilliant darkness gave up herself and tried to cover the world.

But she did not allow it.

Looking at her last appearance, the Hero Hindel, who was standing closest, could finally realize.

That he had turned away from many things just because he was tired.

That he had committed too great a sin.

And.

“Ah...”

mories with her that he knew before but couldn't quite recall ca to mind.

The first eting with Helena, who was picking flowers at the entrance of this village when they were young.

And the fact that he had tried to talk to her sohow, and the fact that she, whom he had tried hard to ignore, was not a Demon King, raged in the Hero's emotions.

Realizing what he had done.

Upon realizing that, the once brilliant Hero turned into dust and disappeared.

From that place where he lost everything.

Afterwards, Helena tried to tell her children things she hadn't been able to say all this ti.

But.

“If you cry like that, you can't hear .”

Helena spoke slightly bluntly even while dying.

Even so, it wasn't that she didn't understand them.

Helena spoke to her most reliable first disciple.

“It seems I was mistaken. Could you set things right?”

She said just that.

And.

“Please take good care of our cute successor next to you too.”

At Helena's words showing a fresh smile, Black Star shed tears of blood as if still in pain.

But he answered willingly.

“Of course.”

At that loyal voice, sa as always.

Helena could close her eyes in relief.

Annihilating all that imnse power that even the world could hardly handle.

She disappeared without even a trace in this world.

The darkness that was always brilliant and noble until the end faded away and vanished just like that.

“Ah, aaaaah.”

Will, who witnessed it, also.

Shedding tears of blood, he finally closed his eyes while looking at Helena's end.

Seonghyun and Barbaros could see new text appearing amidst the stifling emotions while watching all those scenes.

[You have watched all the stories of 『Necromancer Lord Will Baghdad』.]

[You have watched a fragnt of a myth.]

[A reward is given.]

Only then realizing that this was inside a ga.

Both had similar thoughts.

“...It's too cruel a story.”

At Barbaros's words, Seonghyun also had to nod and agree.

The Hero who collapsed from exhaustion and the Demon King who sacrificed herself for such a Hero.

Both spent hard and painful days.

Their ends were so different.

The Hero Hindel, who was born in brilliant light but struggled in despair and eventually lost his light, and Helena, called the Demon King, who lived in darkness but always shone nobly.

There was video remaining after that, but.

As Barbaros said, it was too cruel a story.

It was an ending filled only with Will's despair and sadness.

Ending with him finally giving up his own body.

Will Baghdad's story ca to a close like that.

4.

They ca out of the book, but.

Barbaros was silent for a while.

Seonghyun, who had to return to the Serul Spire having satisfied all the succession conditions for the Necromancer Lord, didn't say anything either.

The two stood there for a while, as if the lingering feelings hadn't faded.

Then Seonghyun reacted first and ca to his senses.

“I’ll be going first.”

“Ah, it took up too much ti, hehe.”

Barbaros laughed like that, but as expected, he still looked a bit dazed, perhaps because the lingering feelings still remained.

Seonghyun looked at Barbaros and said.

“Let’s et again next ti if there’s a chance.”

“Sounds good! If you ever have business at the library, please call

anyti! Oh, right! If there’s a skill you want as a reward, please tell

anyti! I’ll make it for you!”

Like that, the two, who had traveled together for quite a long ti, parted ways.

Seonghyun’s expression as he exchanged goodbyes with Barbaros and ca out of the library was like a fierce demon.

Because the culprit who corrupted Hindel, the one who still tried to manipulate the Hero according to his will even now, still remained.

He already knew why they were left alone.

“I will handle it.”

To leave it for none other than the successor, Seonghyun.

To Seonghyun's anger, all the vassals answered that they would follow, and amidst that, Seonghyun summoned Helena.

It wasn't because he wanted her to assist him.

“K-hum-hum.”

Helena, feeling sheepish after witnessing her own past in person.

At the sa ti, she also looked quite guilty towards the children who followed her.

Seonghyun looked at Helena and said unnecessarily.

“Helena, don't ever do that again.”

“Hu, huh?”

“It’s an order.”

At those sudden words.

-That is correct, please scold her severely.

-R, right! She, she needs to be scolded!

-Ahem, My Liege, I think so too.

-I think so too, Lord.

For once, from Noctrinium to Fiora, Leonik, and Balthar, they were speaking strongly.

Helena was turning her head this way and that as if she truly had no face seeing them like that, and Seonghyun looked at Helena and spoke strongly again.

“Got it?”

“...Of course...”

As she spoke a little quietly.

Seonghyun looked at Helena suspiciously.

And then.

“I-I got it.”

“Even if it’s a homunculus body that can revive, you can’t.”

“...Okay.”

Only after hearing that definite answer did Seonghyun leave the spot as if satisfied.

Watching Seonghyun's back as he walked ahead first, Helena's eyes beca a little strange.

Clearly she was the teacher.

Why couldn't she budge like that?

Geez.

Anyway, since she was in the wrong.

Helena quietly followed Seonghyun.

Because now Seonghyun was her master.

The next destination was clear.

First, it was ti to go get the Necromancer Lord.

Although he was full of excitent and anger.

Since Seonghyun was one who raged more coldly than anyone else.

He headed to Septem Arcana, where the Serul Spire Magic Tower was located, having cald down.

Ascending the Magic Tower quickly as no one stopped him, Seonghyun was able to see a nostalgic face welcoming him warmly after a long ti.

How could he be so exactly the sa?

“Welco. I have been waiting for you.”

Will Baghdad.

No, looking at Will's homunculus, Seonghyun also greeted him similarly.

“Long ti no see.”

He used honorifics before.

But why?

Should he say it beca a bit awkward to do so after going through those events?

If it were the usual Helena, she would have teased him a little seeing that.

But now, given the atmosphere and all.

She stood quietly behind Seonghyun.

Anyway, since Seonghyun spoke comfortably like that.

Will smiled freshly as if rather satisfied.

“You have satisfied all the conditions.”

“Yeah, that’s right.”

“Now I must proceed with the succession.”

Since doing the succession didn't an Will would disappear now.

Seonghyun wasn't particularly worried.

Like that, Will took out the Necromancer Lord, the excessive power that was collapsing his body, in the form of a soul.

An orb that looked like ashen spirits clumped together held in his grasp.

Normally, one might be surprised by its unusualness and hesitate.

Or perhaps feel a little anxious.

But far from doing so, Seonghyun imdiately grabbed the orb in his grasp.

Then.

Kuwuwuwu———!!!

Hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands of spirits popped out.

They are absorbed into Seonghyun's body.

He didn't feel anything particularly strange.

As Seonghyun opened his eyes feeling the pillar of black light that Will had shown rising from within his body.

Text appeared before Seonghyun's eyes.

[You have acquired the Almighty rank skill, 『Necromancer Lord』.]

Seeing that short phrase, he didn't bother reading the skill description.

Through Will Baghdad's chronicles, he knew better than anyone how the Necromancer Lord was ford.

Watching Seonghyun, Will clapped lightly and congratulated him.

“Congratulations.”

Seonghyun looked at Will, smiled as if grateful, and said.

“How about you get a new na now?”

“...?”

Will answered with a bewildered voice.

And.

“You have to give individual nas to homunculus bodies, you know.”

As Seonghyun, who was already knowledgeable about homunculi, said that.

Will also chuckled.

Indeed.

Now he had laid down the heavy burden of being the Necromancer Lord.

Although he had the sa appearance as Will.

He was a soul that had been generated on its own, not Will's soul.

However.

“I’ll na you.”

“......”

At those words, Will felt a little touched.

He had lived for quite a long ti.

But this feeling was a first in a long ti.

To think he would have a master.

It felt quite strange yet very good.

That is why.

“Very well. I have already pledged my loyalty to Seonghyun-nim. As a mber of Over Palace, it would be an infinite honor if you would bestow a na upon .”

Looking at Will, who knelt on one knee and bowed his head, Seonghyun spoke.

“Wisel Baghdad.”

It was a slightly changed na.

But at that na, which took Will's surna, Will, no, Wisel smiled softly and said.

“Wisel Baghdad, I will follow Seonghyun-nim forever.”

Thus, he was able to receive a new na.

Afterward, Seonghyun had now acquired the Necromancer Lord.

Just as he was about to move for the next step.

Wisel, who had received the new na, realized Seonghyun's intent and asked.

“Is there any information you need?”

“Ah, I'm curious about the Sword Saint's movents and the city of Badia.”

“I will look into it right away.”

Saying so, he imdiately and quickly rotated the Magic Tower's intelligence network.

Since he would be quite busy assisting him in the future.

He busily operated the Magic Tower.

But even though he beca busy, why was it?

A long arc was drawn on Wisel's lips.

5.

The Kingdom of Knights, the capital of the Rieskan Kingdom, was in the middle of a court eting.

If it was a court eting, it was in a way natural that heated debates always took place.

Because ideologies differed and quite a few perspectives were needed to run a country.

Debates were inevitable.

However, this ti was a bit of an exception.

Because the Sword Saint, who could be called the highest-ranking official of the Rieskan Kingdom and who did not usually participate, had joined.

Inside the court eting, which had beco coldly quiet.

Only the Sword Saint looked at them and spoke.

“I intend to finish the war with the Vallian Empire's Wirun territory soon.”

At that voice, cold enough to be decisive, no one could offer a rebuttal.

There were too many reasons to stop him.

The war between Badia and Wirun territory had always been a constant war.

To use a modern term, it was like WWE.

But now the Sword Saint's words ant changing it to UFC.

The losses from that would be enormous.

If it were a simple war like before.

It could have proceeded just like any other ti, but saying he intended to end it ant waging a war with the Vallian Empire that could truly spread into an all-out war.

If until now it was a war between a city and a territory, this was a dangerous agenda that could spread to the national level.

But no one could stop him.

‘...N-no, why all of a sudden...!’

‘D-does the Sword Saint desire war!?’

‘B-but if we wage war with the Empire ruled by the Demon Star...’

Anyone could see that the Rieskan Kingdom might be pushed back.

But the Sword Saint did not bend his will.

“The war that has continued for hundreds of years should now co to an end.”

Saying so, the Sword Saint smiled and rose from his seat.

As if he had no other business.

Then the Sword Saint turned and left the conference hall.

And upon arriving at his room, he blocked everything with his aura to make it impenetrable to anyone.

He opened his mouth while looking in the mirror.

“Let’s talk, Archduke.”
