The Game of the Greatest Black Mage
Chapter 183

Chapter 183

Although Seonghyun had spoken with calm confidence.

A message appeared before his eyes like an alarm bell.

[The Hidden Raid Boss, 『The Legion Commander of Basilica, Laktera』, has appeared.]

[The Hidden Raid will begin shortly.]

!!!Warning!!!

You are not in a party!!!

It is dangerous!!!

There is an excessive level difference!!!

It is dangerous!!!

Because he had agreed to share the message.

The viewers could also see the text.

A Hidden Raid Boss with an excessive level difference.

The viewers went into an uproar at the warning message, which only appeared for opponents who were nearly impossible to defeat.

Because it could be called a reckless challenge.

-Isn't this dangerous?

-Can the Demon King beat him?

-If he's a city's Legion Commander, doesn't that mean he's a Labyrinth region's Legion Commander?

-Of course he can't beat him ;;;;

-It'd be better to leave it to the other NPCs and run?

-That message appears when the raid success probability is less than 10% ;;; He can't win ;;;

While everyone was advising against it.

Seonghyun, who could not see the chat, blocked his path as if it did not matter at all.

However, the situation was a little different for Laktera.

The commander of the 1st Assassination Unit, Laktera, quickly assessed the situation.

The Ninyaru knight orders remaining here were the Black Knights and the White Knights.

And aiming for the opening, the Golden Knights of Ninyaru were charging through the collapsed wall.

Even at a glance, the Golden Knights felt dangerous.

That was why Laktera tried to ignore Seonghyun, who was in front of him, and rush to stop them.

Although it was questionable whether he could stop them by himself.

If he paid attention to Seonghyun right now, he would have no choice but to allow their invasion.

Since that would be truly fatal.

He tried to move somehow.

However, in that moment, a darkness of unknown depth formed beneath Laktera's feet.

And from within it, the grasps of the abyss shot out.

[Movement sealed for 3 seconds by Grasp of the Abyss.]

[The Hidden Raid Boss, 『The Legion Commander of Basilica, Laktera』, is trying to resist.]

[This is an irresistible skill.]

An immobilized state.

Quickly grasping the situation, Laktera's eyes flashed.

A state where he could not even lift a finger.

But his mouth had not been sealed.

“Stop the Golden Knights!!!”

At his desperate shout, Laktera's assassination unit members, the 2nd Unit Commander Sibren, and the 3rd Unit Commander Nuartein, all rushed towards the Golden Knights.

But the Black Knights and the White Knights blocked their path.

With Laktera absent, they were bound to be stopped.

Realizing it was already too late, Laktera's eyes glinted as he watched Seonghyun and his familiars charge toward him.

‘First, I have to deal with these guys.’

As the aged old demon who had appeared first swung his sword.

A deep cut was engraved on Laktera's chest.

At the greater-than-expected damage, Laktera looked at the old man with a bewildered expression.

He had realized that Seonghyun himself was weaker than him.

However, the state of his familiars was no small matter.

‘They are formidable.’

Seonghyun himself was weaker, but he could feel a considerable aura from him.

It was likely Seonghyun who had destroyed that wall.

Laktera realized all of this in an instant and tried to move his body to go all out from the start.

However, he was still tightly bound by the Grasp of the Abyss.

At that moment, a red moon rose in the sky.

The red moonlight, which should have covered the world, gathered in one spot and shot down towards Laktera.

KWAAAAAAAAA—!!!

The surrounding ground caved in as if it had been crushed.

And the moment the Grasp of the Abyss was released and he could move.

Laktera tried to quickly escape from that spot, but.

Similarly, a black darkness bloomed beneath his feet, and from within it, countless hands of the abyss shot up.

The moment he tried to move again so as not to be caught this time.

A blade that suddenly shot up from the shadow pierced Laktera, and as his body stiffened for an instant.

He was caught by the Grasps of the Abyss.

As if that were not enough, hands shot up from the ground.

And caught Laktera in succession.

Baltar swung his greatsword, overlaid with crimson sword energy, at the bound Laktera.

And following behind Baltar, Leonik swung his sword, its ultramarine sword energy sharpened to its utmost.

The sword energy of the two, one red and the other an ultramarine like the night sky, slashed at Laktera.

SHRRK—!!!

SHRING—!!!

Another long cut was left by their two blades.

But it was shallow compared to the one from the old demon who appeared first.

That was why, the moment Laktera tried to struggle to fight back somehow, he sensed an unusual energy and raised his head.

“……A dragon?”

A small dragon had appeared there and opened its cute maw.

Then, a small breath came out of that small mouth.

But just because it was small did not mean the breath was to be taken lightly.

The breath engulfed Laktera with enough force to annihilate both the Grasps of the Abyss and the hands from the ground.

And drew a long line across the wide wasteland.

KWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA—!!!

Laktera was hit by the breath and sent flying, carving a long line in the wasteland.

The moment he came to his senses and opened his eyes.

The old demon, who he did not know when had appeared, was just drawing his sword.

Drawing a sword that was red-hot as if heated in flames.

As Drakhanos swung his sword.

Something like a long red line was drawn on Laktera's upper body, and in that instant.

The logic of that powerful swordsmanship, impossible to even defend against, created a long line of blood on his upper body with a force that even Laktera could not comprehend, and from it, a stream of purplish-black blood mixed with poison gushed out.

PWAAAAAH—!!!

“Keuk.”

Laktera grimaced as pain washed over him.

But that was not the end.

As he raised his head to look at something that had shot up from the sky again.

This time, countless spears wreathed in heavenly light had appeared.

Spears that held extraordinary power even on their own.

But then, fierce winds wrapped around the heavenly spears, causing them to rotate.

As their piercing power grew so strong that he judged even his own body could not block them.

Laktera decided he could not let a single one hit him.

The moment he tried to move to dodge them somehow.

Baltar and Leonik rushed toward Laktera.

Pat! Pat!

-Kuhahaha!!! Excellent! Excellent!!!

-For the Lord!!!

Baltar and Leonik moved quickly, weaving and crossing in mid-air, dazzling his eyes.

Laktera watched the two approach simultaneously and first pulled out new hands from behind his back.

Four more arms shot out, excluding his existing legs and arms, and each one held a dagger.

His intention was to block Leonik and Baltar while simultaneously attacking.

However, in that moment, Anemor appeared and dropped a bolt of lightning on Laktera.

PZZZZZZZZT—!!!

Taking advantage of the moment his body stiffened, Leonik and Baltar swung their swords.

And behind them, Barpur and Karisha appeared, tearing at him with their long claws, and through the torn wounds, they unleashed a wave of energy, ripping the wounds open even wider.

Pain wracked his entire body, but his mind was still clear, so the moment he tried to capture Karisha, who had appeared last.

The ground rose up and blocked it.

Kururung.

And the moment that attack was futilely blocked by the wall.

From the sky, the heavenly spears rained down like a storm.

SHUSHUSHUSHUSHUSHU—!!!

The fierce wind rotated, making the heavenly spears sharper than anything else.

And the sharp spearheads pierced Laktera's entire body.

PWABUBUBUBUK!!!

It was a tremendous battle.

Enraged by it, the moment he tried to use a skill against Barpur, Baltar, and Leonik, who were rushing at him again.

A giant witch appeared behind Laktera's back and laughed with a cackle.

[Skills sealed for 5 seconds by Monarch's Silence.]

[The Hidden Raid Boss, 『The Legion Commander of Basilica, Laktera』, partially resists.]

[Duration reduced to 2 seconds.]

His skills were sealed.

Therefore, Laktera made a quick judgment.

He had to somehow block the three rushing at him now.

Although he had many piercing wounds, he could still move.

He tried to block them by swinging the daggers with his six arms.

In that moment, Seonghyun appeared behind his back.

“……!”

Seonghyun appeared suddenly as if he had teleported.

Seeing this, Laktera turned to attack Seonghyun as if by instinct.

It was not a conscious thought.

Through countless experiences, his body knew it was advantageous to attack the caster, Seonghyun, so it moved on its own.

However, faster than the daggers trying to attack Seonghyun, a teal spear appeared in Seonghyun's hand.

The moment that ominous teal spear pierced Laktera's abdomen.

[Critical Hit!]

[Darkness damage is applied.]

[『The Legion Commander of Basilica, Laktera』, partially resists.]

[For 2 seconds, all of 『The Legion Commander of Basilica, Laktera』's sight and senses will be impaired.]

In an instant, his senses and vision vanished.

Even so, he clearly remembered where Seonghyun had been just a moment ago.

A superior body can move even without senses.

Therefore, Laktera trusted in that and tried to move, but.

He felt his other senses gradually being blocked as well.

[Using Swordsmanship Skill, 『Darkness』.]

[You are consumed by darkness due to the powerful darkness.]

[The darkness consumes you, blocking 『The Legion Commander of Basilica, Laktera』's sight.]

[The darkness consumes you, blocking 『The Legion Commander of Basilica, Laktera』's hearing.]

[The darkness consumes you, blocking 『The Legion Commander of Basilica, Laktera』's touch.]

[The darkness consumes you, blocking 『The Legion Commander of Basilica, Laktera』's sense of smell.]

[The darkness consumes you, blocking 『The Legion Commander of Basilica, Laktera』's sense of taste.]

[The darkness consumes you, blocking all of 『The Legion Commander of Basilica, Laktera』's senses.]

[This effect will last as long as the sword is imbued with darkness.]

He did not feel like his senses would ever return.

Before, he could at least feel things faintly.

Now, he felt they were completely blocked.

How on earth did this happen?

In this incomprehensible situation, one thing was certain.

That Seonghyun and his familiars were toying with him.

Feeling this, Laktera was honestly impressed.

‘How incredible.’

He was disrupting everything I do, as if seeing through all my psychology.

So, I should give him a fitting response.

Laktera thought so and used the widest AoE skill he could.

An AoE skill that used both thread and poison to saturate his surroundings.

No matter how great he is, he won't be able to do anything about this.

Believing so, he used the skill even though his senses were impaired.

CHWAAAAAAA—!!!

He could not hear the sound.

But he felt the skill had definitely activated.

Although he had no senses, it was a skill he had used for many long years.

So he had the feeling that it had been activated.

It would take at least a minute to escape from this poisonous web.

If his status ailments disappeared in that time.

Victory would surely be his.

As Laktera was thinking this to himself.

The viewers watched and typed in the chat.

-Seriously... I feel bad for him just watching.

-He's being completely toyed with ;;;

-Wow... just take one hit ;;;;

-He won't even take a single hit ;;;;

Contrary to Laktera's expectations.

Right before he even tried to use the skill, Seonghyun and his familiars had moved far away.

And were hitting Laktera using only their ranged skills.

Naturally, nothing was caught in the spiderweb.

Unfortunately, Laktera had not yet realized that.
