Chapter 185

Separate from the heated reaction in the chat window.

Seonghyun genuinely thought that.

‘He really is strong.’

He had expected as much since Laktera looked strong at a glance.

But he was even stronger than he thought.

If it had not been for Sibren and Nuartein in the middle of it, it surely would have taken much longer.

Unaware of Seonghyun's inner thoughts, the chat window was still scrolling hotly.

-What was that just now, like a betrayal?

-Seems like they were originally executives of that Basilica place?

-So he planted spies and went to war?

-Seems like it???

-Wow, not making an enemy of the Demon King really is the best policy.

-for real lol.

While everyone in the chat was talking about that.

Seonghyun felt that the time had come and spoke to the viewers.

“Today's broadcast ends here. Thank you for watching.”

At the same broadcast-ending line as always.

The viewers chatted as if they were now used to it.

-Wow, it's this again today lolol.

-That was fun!!!

-Please stream again sooner next time!!!

-I want to watch every day!!!

To show a broadcast with this much potential and then end with a line like that.

Anyone would have been astonished.

But this was already the third time.

Everyone was used to it now.

At the end, Seonghyun also glanced at the chat window, said his goodbyes, and turned off the broadcast.

‘They want me to stream again soon.’

Seonghyun chuckled at the thought.

They like it even though I have no talent for talking and can't host at all.

He was just grateful.

Anyway, how is the war progressing?

Seonghyun had quickly hidden the message that popped up after he defeated Laktera so the viewers would not see it.

Now that the broadcast was off too.

Shall I take a leisurely look?

As Seonghyun opened the message window with that thought.

[You have defeated the Hidden Raid Boss, 『The Legion Commander of Basilica, Laktera』.]

[You have cleared the Hidden Chain Quest, 『War with the Labyrinth's Mastermind』.]

[You have cleared the Hidden Chain Sub-Quest, 『Ninyaru's Special Detachment』.]

[A portion of the clear reward will be given.]

[You have acquired a vast amount of experience points!]

[Level Up!]x8

[You have reached Level 150.]

[Having reached Level 150, a new skill for 『Overlord』 will be unlocked.]

[You have not yet completed your 3rd Class Advancement.]

[The new skill will be postponed for a moment.]

[Can be unlocked after the 3rd Class Advancement.]

[You must complete the 3rd Class Advancement.]

[Having reached a multiple of 10 in level, the Almighty-rank item, 『Tome of the Overlord』, will be activated.]

[Contribution belongs to only one person.]

[Judged as a solo raid.]

[Cleared as a solo player.]

[Rewards will be enhanced.]

[This is a first clear.]

[Rewards will be enhanced.]

[Because this is a solo raid, all rewards will be given to the user 『Seonghyun』.]

[The Hidden Chain Quest and the rewards will be combined.]

[The Hidden Chain Quest reward can be received from 『The Absolute Ruler of Ninyaru, Karnyao Hel Bellios』.]

[This is a Hidden Raid whose information cannot be disclosed.]

[Information cannot be disclosed.]

‘Hmmm.’

His level had risen a lot, reaching a whopping Level 150.

The rewards could be received from Nyao, so he let that be.

But there was a strange message in the middle that he looked at carefully.

The message about the 3rd Class Advancement.

‘Unlock the skill after the 3rd Class Advancement, huh.’

What will it give me?

According to Helena, it would be a considerably good skill.

But it only unlocks after the 3rd Class Advancement.

‘I wonder what it will be.’

With such curiosity, Seonghyun looked towards Basilica, where he could feel the shockwaves of battle in the far distance.

He could feel vibrations that seemed like they would be difficult for him to handle even if he went near.

The fight between Lumina and the King of Basilica.

He did not know how long it would take.

But he was certain that it would not be very long.

With that thought, Seonghyun looked up at the sky and gave a faint smile.

‘I wonder what the 3rd Class Advancement will be like.’

On the other hand, Helena was watching Seonghyun and smiling as if she were proud of him.

While at the same time, she thought.

‘Lajeare will probably be waking up soon, right?’

Would Lajeare be able to carry out what they had said back then?

At that thought, which she had not had in a long time, Helena shrugged her shoulders.

Then she simply thought that Seonghyun would handle it well on his own and moved on.

There was someone who had been using the roughly three days that Seonghyun had spent buying time during the war very usefully.

None other than the team leader of the Event Management Team and the deputy head of E-World.

Team Leader Baek Jiwoo was staring at a screen, laughing 'hihi' with bloodshot eyes.

The members of the event team had long since moved far away from Team Leader Baek Jiwoo.

Because he was in no state to be approached right now.

There was no one brave enough on this team to talk to Team Leader Baek Jiwoo, who was intermittently laughing 'euhihi' while looking at his monitor and programming like a madman with a development window open.

In the midst of that crazed work.

The door to the Event Management Team's office opened and someone came in.

“Cough, cough. Why is there a chill……”

A man with glasses and a somewhat pathetic-looking impression.

He was Assistant Manager Lee Wonsong of the User Management Team.

He had been called over suddenly.

But Assistant Manager Lee Wonsong, who had come over relieved by the fact that it was not for support, soon met Team Leader Baek Jiwoo's eyes.

“Heu-hi-hih.”

“E-Euaaak!!!”

It was certainly a startling sight, the way he was smiling with those bizarre eyes.

As Assistant Manager Lee Wonsong screamed like that.

Team Leader Baek Jiwoo tilted his head and opened his mouth.

“The data.”

At the dry voice, Assistant Manager Lee Wonsong was startled and hurriedly handed the documents to Team Leader Baek Jiwoo.

The documents that Assistant Manager Lee Wonsong had just handed over were none other than the data on Seonghyun's 3rd Class Advancement.

Although he had already skimmed through it as a file.

The data that Assistant Manager Lee Wonsong had personally gathered were in a file that could not be transferred.

So he had no choice but to check it as a document like this.

Team Leader Baek Jiwoo quickly scanned the documents.

Watching the speed, Assistant Manager Lee Wonsong was left speechless.

‘He really is amazing.’

Honestly, he thought his own direct superior, Team Leader Jung Jihye, was amazing.

But Team Leader Baek Jiwoo of the Event Management Team was no less than her.

No, in fact, his concentration and judgment seemed to surpass hers.

Team Leader Baek Jiwoo, who had quickly scanned the data.

Looked at Assistant Manager Lee Wonsong and asked.

“This is everything, right?”

“Pardon? Ah, yes, that's right. It's everything about the 3rd Class Advancement. This is also all the data on Lajeare.”

“Hihi, thank you.”

Team Leader Baek Jiwoo said with a smile.

However, looking at Team Leader Baek Jiwoo, Assistant Manager Lee Wonsong asked with a bit of anxiety.

“Ah, but no matter what, isn't it a bit much to meddle with user Seonghyun's class advancement trial?”

“Pardon?”

Team Leader Baek Jiwoo asked as if to say, ‘what are you talking about,’ after hearing Assistant Manager Lee Wonsong's words.

Did he not understand?

With that thought, Assistant Manager Lee Wonsong spoke again.

“Because of this, if there's a disruption in user Seonghyun's trial……”

“Ah, is that all you're worried about? There won't be.”

“Pardon?”

“I said, there won't be.”

“……Aren't you planning to open a large-scale event using user Seonghyun's 3rd Class Advancement trial?”

Assistant Manager Lee Wonsong asked back as if he did not understand.

Team Leader Baek Jiwoo sighed as if annoyed and said.

“Of course I wouldn't mess with one person's class advancement for the sake of other users' content. I'm just planning to use this vampire named Lajeare to create an event. User Seonghyun will probably have more fun if he starts from here, you know? Or, it's no problem if he goes straight to the 3rd trial grounds.”

“Ah?”

“The concept of this vampire, Lajeare, is that he's ultimately connected to the labyrinth. Until now, user Seonghyun wasn't qualified, so this character couldn't even appear, but now he has finally appeared in the labyrinth, so we're linking that to create a vampire-related event in the labyrinth. So in the end, there's no complete connection with user Seonghyun.”

It was possible because of Seonghyun, but.

It meant that the content would not affect each other.

Then, Assistant Manager Lee Wonsong tilted his head as if he suddenly did not understand something.

“Why, is there a problem?”

“Ah, no, sir.”

At Team Leader Baek Jiwoo's somewhat harsh reaction, Assistant Manager Lee Wonsong waved his hands and shook his head, saying it was nothing.

Team Leader Baek Jiwoo spoke as if he understood his reaction.

“Well then, thank you for the data.”

At the clear expression telling him to leave, Assistant Manager Lee Wonsong left the Event Management Team's office.

And at the same time, he thought.

‘Even if they're not related, if user Seonghyun takes the 3rd trial and then adapts to vampires or gains a corresponding power, won't he just dominate the event?’

In any case, Assistant Manager Lee Wonsong had mostly let go of matters concerning Seonghyun now.

He stroked his chin after looking over the contents of the 3rd Class Advancement.

No matter how he looked at it, it seemed user Seonghyun would become too advantageous against vampires after his 3rd Class Advancement was complete.

He wondered if it was really okay to release vampires into the labyrinth.

But he did not bother to say anything.

When he thought of it and was about to speak, Team Leader Baek Jiwoo had spoken as if he knew everything.

He thought he would probably handle it on his own.

If not…….

‘……It's a bit unfair for only me to suffer.’

Thinking that he could not be the only one to suffer.

Assistant Manager Lee Wonsong returned to his desk.

In the middle of Basilica's city center.

A chilling sound echoed.

SHRR—GUK!

The distinct sound of something being sliced by a sword.

As that sound rang out, the giant black snake's head fell to the ground, and black blood gushed from the snake's body.

CHWAAAAAAAAA—!!!

As the blood was clearly splattered in all directions.

The commander of the Golden Knights, Lumina, who stood firmly on her two feet and held the head of the black king, which was gradually shrinking, shouted.

“For the city of the Labyrinth's Merchant Guild!!! For the glory of Ninyaru!!!”

As that roar-like cry was heard.

The knights all threw off their helmets and chanted in unison.

“For the glory of Ninyaru!!!”

“For the glory of His Majesty!!!”

“For the cat merchants!!!”

The knight orders of Ninyaru erupted in cheers of victory.

And the soldiers of Basilica fell into despair, watching as the black king was defeated and his severed head was held up.

Everyone lost their will to fight, laid down their weapons, and surrendered.

The Golden Knights, the Black Knights, and the White Knights all gathered and were drunk with the joy of victory, and in their midst, Seonghyun was also there.

As everyone rejoiced as one, Seonghyun also showed his happiness and savored the victory.

At the end of that festival-like victory.

The knight orders set out to bring Basilica under control, and Lumina, who had seized victory at the end of her battle with the king, looked at Seonghyun and said.

“Sir Seonghyun, could you inform His Majesty of this fact?”

It could have been seen as her trying to saddle him with a bothersome task, but it was quite the opposite.

Because cleaning up the chaotic Basilica was the more bothersome task.

On the contrary, it was no different from handing Seonghyun a reward.

“If you go to His Majesty, he will surely be impressed by your great performance.”

Although Lumina said so.

Honestly, Seonghyun could not help but feel a bit embarrassed.

Coming from Lumina, who had taken the head of the stronger enemy, the black king, it felt a little awkward.

However, Lumina, on the contrary, could not help but admire Seonghyun.

‘To think Sir Seonghyun would actually do it.’

Honestly, her plan was that if he just held out while she dealt with the king, she would step in and take care of Laktera herself.

She thought Seonghyun would be able to do at least that much.

She had never meant for him to actually defeat Laktera.

But he went and defeated Laktera.

Lumina, as well as Felix and Silberion, could not help but be surprised.

‘As expected of Sir Seonghyun.’

‘H-He's incredible.’

Laktera's skill was similar to Felix's.

Because Seonghyun had defeated Laktera, Felix was free to step in and deal with the assassination unit members.

It was truly a fortunate turn of events.

“That's right. Sir Seonghyun deserves to enjoy it.”

“That's right! Go to His Majesty and get a hefty reward!”

At Felix and Silberion's words, Seonghyun chuckled and nodded his head.

“Yes, I will go and deliver the results.”

“We, too, will quickly bring this place under control and return.”

At Lumina's final words, Seonghyun nodded and soared into the sky on Anemor.

Well then.

‘Shall I go and get my hefty reward?’
