Chapter 296
The Dark Mage King looked at me and his eyes shone.
Empty eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
If it was me a month ago, I would have stiffened my body at this moment.
Goosebumps must have risen from the grotesque eyes that seemed to be peering into the abyss.
but.
‘Bail stall. It’s nothing compared to that man.’
It’s not enough to embarrass me right now.
The bale stall was not like that.
“… … Step back.”
Of course, it’s just that it’s not enough compared to the veil stall.
It wasn’t that it was insignificant at all.
The fear of the abyss flowing from the eyes of the Dark Mage King. And the bizarre atmosphere that started from those eyes was like a deadly poison to ordinary people.
“Back off! hurry! Go outside and call for support!”
It was something I could tell just by looking at my father’s reaction.
Sweat poured down his body like rain, and his lips trembled.
My father is afraid of the Dark Mage King.
“Support. That’s a bit difficult.”
The Dark Mage King raised his right hand, but frowned.
Right now, the Dark Mage King’s right arm is completely broken, and he’s gone.
I tried to move my right arm, but I couldn’t.
The Dark Mage King let out a slight sigh as if it was annoying and raised his left hand.
His left hand was also half burnt, though it looked horrible.
It was still forming an arm.
“You should leave for a while.”
The left arm of the Dark Mage King slowly cutting through the air.
At that moment, my vision went black.
Black covered my vision and my entire body.
“Ten minutes from now. No one can enter this world.”
The voice of the Dark Mage King was heard in the darkness.
“ruler. Let’s talk.”
At that moment, the darkness expanded.
It felt like the spherical blackout that surrounded me was expanding.
The Dark Mage King slowly walked into the slowly growing veil of darkness.
A fake black mage king who inherited Levi’s scars.
The right arm is missing, the left arm is half-broken, and both legs are in no condition to walk properly.
It was as if a soldier made of sand lost his strength and slowly turned into sand and was blown away.
When I saw it, I immediately thought of this.
‘If it were the current Dark Mage King, wouldn’t I be able to win as well?’
If it was the Dark Mage King whose body was about half smashed.
If it wasn’t real, if it was a fake black mage embodied by Levi’s magic.
Wouldn’t there be a chance of winning even with my current state?
‘There is enough hope.’
It’s not yet time to despair.
I started preparing to respond to his attack.
“Stop it. you can’t beat me.”
Seeing my mood and attitude, as if he had read that I meant to fight.
The Dark Mage King said stop.
“I don’t want to waste time on battles with a fixed outcome. So stop. Sink the mana, and stand still.”
one step.
one step.
Even though his legs weren’t able to walk properly, he couldn’t find the slightest sway in the Dark Mage King’s gait.
Noble, graceful, solemn.
He walked like a king.
“What? You don’t have to be so nervous. I have no intention of harming you.”
one step.
one step.
The Dark Mage King is slowly approaching.
Can’t get any closer than this.
I just shot my magic at the Dark Mage King.
No, I was going to shoot.
“I would have told you.”
I was obviously trying to activate magic.
My circle didn’t listen.
“It doesn’t make any sense.”
It felt as if my body was out of my control.
“Now you can’t beat me. There is still time, maturity, experience, and effort. Everything is lacking.”
The black mage king came right in front of me.
A half-destroyed face, as well as limbs.
It stares at me with eyes that look like broken old sand dolls.
“So stay still. just stay still Listen to me.”
Height is not much different from mine.
Even though they were obviously at the same eye level as me, I somehow felt as if they were looking down on me.
‘This Dark Mage King is real.’
Eyes met at close range.
Looking into those eyes, I was convinced.
The black mage king in front of me was real, not fake.
Even though the body belonged to Levy, the mind that moved that body really belonged to the Dark Mage King.
An alarm bell rang in my head.
‘Dangerous.’
The reason is unknown, but this man is the real Dark Mage King.
that means that. This means that the entire situation was known to the Dark Mage King.
Starting with the fact that I killed Levi in a trap.
Everything, even the fact that Shadow is stuck on this side.
‘Even if I succeeded in overcoming this situation safely, there is no answer after that.’
Until now, the Black Mage King and the Black Mage Tower hadn’t been targeting me on a large scale.
It’s simply because I left no evidence that I was the culprit in everything.
I just didn’t deal with it because there was no reason to deal with it.
But now?
All the information flowed into the Dark Mage King.
From now on, the Dark Mage King will mobilize all means to eliminate me.
Each executive, as well as the Dark Mage King himself, could move to get rid of me.
If that happens, I can’t survive. As of right now, I can’t block the Black Mage Tower’s concentrated attack.
It was meaningless even if he borrowed the power of a magician or other connections.
I might be able to buy some time though.
Results do not change.
In the end, I will be in charge of death because of their relentless offensive.
‘To prevent this from happening, I isolated Levy separately… … !’
I’ve finished all the preparations to trick Hermes. Could it be that the real Dark Mage King will appear?
It’s the worst.
There is not too much luck.
‘Summoning the Dark Mage King with Metamorphosis.’
Who would have imagined
I only knew that the final meaning of metamorphosis was the division of the body and mind.
Because Mimir said so.
I just thought it was like iron stone.
I never imagined it would be there.
‘What should I do? How can I get through this situation safely?’
My head is getting more and more complicated.
All sorts of questions and unanswered reality jumbled together, and even greater confusion shook my head.
But the confusion is short-lived.
I quickly came to my senses.
At times like these, you need to hold on tight.
“… … What is your purpose?”
“I have no doubts.”
“If you had any intention of killing me, I would have been dead already. There is no reason to doubt it.”
There is no reason to lie like that in this situation.
In a position where he could kill me at any time, what benefit would there be in telling a lie that he would not kill me?
Therefore, the words of the Dark Mage King are true.
At least in this place, he really has no intention of harming me.
“So I am asking why. The fact that you’re keeping me alive is for a reason. I can’t think of anything.”
But I don’t know why.
From the position of the Dark Mage King, I am just a dangerous element that needs to be eliminated right away.
The person who should get rid of me even for a moment has no intention of harming me.
What are you thinking?
“For a very simple reason.”
The black mage king’s pupils were dyed even darker.
Corrupted mana was condensed, and it was a creepy pupil that seemed to be condensed again.
“Because you are the heir to the bi-tenor style.”
“… … !”
In an instant, my heart sank.
The appearance of unexpected words.
It was like being hit in the head with a hammer.
To think that the Dark Mage King knew that I was the successor of the Bytenor style.
How?
“When did I say that I am the successor of the bi-tenor style… … . How did you find out?”
“when. how… … .”
The corners of the Dark Mage King’s mouth slowly rose.
“April of this year. Was it the day you sparred with Baek Sa-hyeok?”
“From so early on… … .”
The first day of sparring with Baek Sa-hyeok.
That day was the first time I used bitenor magic.
Did you notice that day?
“I was convinced when I saw you, who didn’t even have an AI, use magic freely. That is the basis of the basics of the bi-tenor style. I mean the mind.”
Do you even know about the deliberation?
“Did information about the By-Tenor ceremony be passed down to the Black Mage Tower?”
“Say it for granted.”
Just as Master was wary of the veil, the veil was also wary of the master.
Just as Master left all sorts of arrangements, including Mimir and the Book of Mimir, out of concern for the Veil.
Veil must have been wary of Master and left all sorts of arrangements.
As the Dark Mage King said, it was natural.
“But why… … .”
Immediately after learning about the evil relationship between the Black Magic Tower and Bytenor.
I was also worried that the Black Mage Tower might have information about me.
Seeing the power I have used to my heart’s content so far, I wonder if he is moving to get rid of me after gaining the conviction that I am the successor of the Bytenor style.
There was a time when I had such worries.
But those worries soon disappeared.
No matter how long I waited, there was no sign of movement.
Because I didn’t seem to know that I was the heir to the bi-tenor style.
So, I just thought that information about the By-Tenor ceremony had not been delivered safely to the Black Mage Tower.
But did you really know… … .
“If you knew my identity from then on, doesn’t that mean you knew everything about what I did after that?”
“I knew. Leng Smith. Tkish. parade. The Fist. shadow. And everything up to today’s Levy Gun.”
“But why… … .”
Even though he knew all of that, did he just leave me alone?
“I think the reason is what I said earlier.”
The Dark Mage King kept a cool smile and paused slightly before speaking.
“Because I had no intention of harming you. You must not die yet.”
“… … .”
My head got messy again.
The leader of the black magicians.
The reason why the vitenner-type heir, who is the dark mage’s nemesis and nemesis, didn’t move even though he was handling his subordinates one by one, is because I shouldn’t die?
nonsense.
No, that’s not the answer in the first place.
“Why shouldn’t I die?”
Why don’t you target me.
why i shouldn’t die
What is that?
“You are the only one who can make my dreams come true. You must not die until then.”
“… … dream?”
You say I’m the one who can make the Dark Mage King’s dream come true?
No way.
There was no way I could do anything to help the king of black mages, the king of black mages.
“What? No big deal.”
The Dark Mage King’s eyes were filled with life. It wasn’t living for me.
To live for someone who is not here.
“I yearn for freedom.”
“… … freedom?”
With eyes like a revolutionary dreaming of liberating the slaves of the past, he muttered the two-syllable word “freedom.”
“I want to be myself. Not the king of black magicians, not the king of black mages. Only the country hopes to exist as an entity as an entity.”
It was a significant word.
“For that, first. I need to break the curse of the vengeful spirit, the veil stole, which is embedded in my body.”
The Dark Mage King stared at me with longing eyes.
“But I can’t handle the bale stall. The spell that is embedded in me doesn’t even allow me to point a knife at him.”
You can see the flow of the story.
Why did the Dark Mage King leave me alone even though he knew everything?
Why did you say you had no intention of harming me?
Did I say that I shouldn’t die now? I know for sure now
“I need a sharp knife to decapitate Bale Stoll in my place.”
“Does that knife fold?”
“okay.”
The purpose of the Dark Mage King is to kill Bale Stall.
And the only one who can kill Bale Stoll is me, the official heir to the Bytenor style.
so he didn’t touch me
No, I couldn’t touch it.
Even if his subordinates died, he had no choice but to just stand by.
Because you can’t kill me to achieve your goal.
It was like that.
The Dark Mage King held out his left arm to me.
The voice of the Dark Mage King tickled my ear sweetly.
“You and I have the same purpose.”
As if eaten by an insect, the left arm was hollowed out.
The grotesque shape was like a demon’s arm.
“Don’t you think we would make good friends with each other?”
