The Game of the Greatest Black Mage-Chapter 396

Chapter 396

2.

Saturday, a golden time slot.

The day after Seonghyun went on the 1 night 2 days preliminary inspection.

There were those who turned on their broadcast from the morning of this golden time.

It was none other than the Michael Party.

“Hi everyone! You all know, right? Today is the day Yuseong-nim has returned!”

At Michael's cheerful comment, the viewers all responded with greetings.

-Mi-ha~

-Hi hi

-Lmao Yuseong-nim is finally appearing!? 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

-My neck almost snapped waiting for Yuseong-nim ;-;

-Kyaa Yuseong-nim T_T

Naturally, the chat window had no choice but to flip upside down at the news that Seonghyun was appearing.

However, there were also viewers reacting to the story about Yuseong.

-So is Yuseong-nim's identity really the Demon King???

-There's a lot of circumstantial evidence???

-No, if the Demon King has Single Ranker-level skills and looks like that, I really have no confidence to keep living.

-Brought up something super annoying again.

-Is this for real?

-Tell us your real identity!!!

-Are you really the Demon King!?

As stories asking if he was Rapid's Demon King were heard quite a lot, Michael looked at it and stared at the chat window with a puzzled expression as if he had already prepared for it.

Then.

He rather asked back to the viewers.

“……No guys. Why would such a famous and skilled person come to our party…….”

Although it was a puzzled expression at first, looking at Michael speaking as if he was a bit sad now.

The viewers burst into laughter but couldn't help being a bit confused.

-Lmfao That is true.

-Come to think of it, why would the Demon King join the Michael Party???

-Lmao Uh you're right?

-Then why did the two-day break and the Demon King backup party taking two days off overlap?

-xD Guess it just overlapped by coincidence.

-Come to think of it, yeah, the backup team is pushing him, so why would he bother coming to the Michael Party? I really don't know.

-Lmao That makes sense.

Everyone had no choice but to laugh while talking like that.

They were completely fooled by the words of Michael, who had an innate clown constitution.

Yuseong also smiled softly, approached the front of the camera, and asked.

“More importantly, how are we proceeding today?”

“Today we have to catch the Cheongwi Party!”

Saying so, Michael showed himself.

The floor they will challenge this time is the 76th floor.

Since the Cheongwi Party was currently challenging the 77th floor, if they succeed this time, they would be catching up to the Cheongwi Party.

At Yuseong and Michael's words, the viewers decided to move on without much suspicion.

-Oh then are you finally surpassing the Cheongwi Party today?

-Looking forward to it!

-But the 76th floor doesn't seem like it will be easy.

-That's true, since the difficulty shoots up sharply every 5 floors, it'll probably be like that this time too?

-It is hard to see them clearing it on the first day.

-Still, with Yuseong-nim here, I don't know.

-Yep yep yep so I'm looking forward to it.

Before they knew it, the rumor about the Demon King gradually disappeared, and they had no choice but to watch, captivated by Michael's skilled broadcast hosting.

On top of that, the number of viewers was more than double the usual, surpassing 50,000.

Naturally, there were quite a lot of viewers who came to confirm if Yuseong was Seonghyun.

Even though the number of viewers dropped after he clarified that it wasn't true, there were still viewers who kept watching while admiring Michael's broadcasting skills, so they were able to maintain a viewer count of 30,000 to 40,000.

As they say, row when the water comes in; because Michael also made up his mind to do better and hosted, they were able to absorb such synergy.

Even while hunting, he didn't rest his mouth to provide entertainment, and as Seonghyun also started laughing heartily watching that, there were even viewers flocking in just to see that handsome face.

Of course.

“No! Yuseong-nim just smiles and the viewers react, but for me, I really have to do all sorts of ass-kissing shows for you guys to stay? Isn't this too much?”

Michael vented his unfairness, but.

It didn't work at all.

-Yeah then Michael hyung just needs to get handsome too;;

-Lmfao Your faces are different, so it's obvious.

-Lmao No, are you really asking because you're curious?

-xD

-This is somewhat understandable to feel unfair, but it can't be helped.

-Just looking at his face brings a smile to my face naturally hehe

Hurt even more by the viewers' reactions, Michael worked even harder on the 76th floor along with the broadcast, but unfortunately, that day's conquest inevitably ended in failure.

Of course, it was partly because Seonghyun didn't step forward actively, but the difficulty this time was certainly quite high.

There was a time limit, and it was a labyrinth type where walls couldn't be broken, so it inevitably took a lot of time to clear.

It might have ended quickly if he had revealed the map Seonghyun possessed.

But since he didn't, they had to proceed while gradually creating a map.

It was bound to take a long time.

By the time the Michael Party barely cleared the 76th floor in 3 days and entered the 77th floor, the Cheongwi Party had gone up to the 78th floor, and the Demon King's backup party managed to reach the 69th floor.

3.

Seonghyun woke up from a slightly uncomfortable bed and looked around.

Lee Geondong's house, which was now familiar.

Since today was Tuesday.

The construction started last Monday, and since they said it would take a week, it was a date when he originally should have been able to return home, but unfortunately, he couldn't.

It was none other than that they had somehow contacted him to apologize, saying the construction period was extended by another week.

Lee Geondong said it was fine, and his parents, as well as his sister Yoo Mina, didn't mind much either, so it didn't escalate into a big deal.

Seonghyun was also actually just a bit uncomfortable, but since he didn't have any major complaints, he just let it slide.

"Huuu."

Seonghyun, who woke up from his sleep, went for his morning run according to his routine just like any other day and took a quick shower.

As for the gym membership he got with Lee Geondong, he goes there in the evening after finishing the game.

Seonghyun prepared this and that today as well and lightly loosened up his body.

The day to start in earnest was slowly approaching.

Yesterday, the Michael Party entered the 77th floor, and the Cheongwi Party went up to the 78th floor.

It was slowly time for Luna's backup parties to strike and come up.

Thinking it would probably start sometime this week, Seonghyun was having breakfast when Lee Geondong woke up.

"Hwaaaam, did you sleep well?"

"Yeah, want to eat breakfast?"

As Seonghyun said so and showed the breakfast he made.

Lee Geondong gulped and nodded his head.

"Yeah, let's eat together."

The breakfast menu was a simple breakfast table with doenjang jjigae, fried eggs, and various other side dishes.

Although it was a breakfast menu commonly seen in Korea.

Because it was a breakfast rarely seen by those living alone, Lee Geondong gulped, scooped some rice, and took a bite.

"Keuheueu, completely cures a hangover."

"??? You didn't drink yesterday, though?"

"Just saying."

"Well, enjoy."

Seeing Lee Geondong eating deliciously, Seonghyun felt secretly proud and ate his meal.

Watching Seonghyun eat another bowl after finishing one, Lee Geondong asked.

"It's about time now, right?"

"Yeah, please take good care of the connected live."

"As for coordination, I've kept at it after your live ended so there's no problem. But it seems the Cheongwi Party will slowly be caught up to as well."

"They'll probably reach the same floor sometime this week?"

"Oh? Really? Okay."

Lee Geondong said so and ate his meal, and Seonghyun, looking at such Geondong, got up from his seat having finished first and said.

"Then I'll get going first."

"Yeah yeah, go on in, fighting today as well."

"Only if there's something to fight hard for."

"That is true. Pfft."

Lee Geondong laughed at Seonghyun's words.

Well, it couldn't be helped. Since he talked with the Michael Party and hid his skills a bit more, making the progress a bit slower.

Because there really wasn't much to fight hard for.

As Seonghyun entered the capsule like that.

Lee Geondong, left to eat alone, muttered.

"It's starting soon, so I should get ready quickly too."

Although there wasn't much to prepare for the connected live itself.

This and that public opinion, and since it could be called an event directly hosted by the Rapid Guild.

Moreover, since it was a live stream not issuing live tickets this time, he had to think about additional revenue, so he was looking for various methods, which was why he felt that way even more.

Anyway, that wouldn't take too long either.

4.

As time passed and three more days went by, it was already Friday, and the ranking fluctuations during that time had changed considerably enough to be called a seismic shift.

The Abyss Ranking, commonly the most famous in Belhadan, had changed.

[Abyss Ranking]

[Joint 1st Place - Cheongwi Party : 79th Floor]

[Joint 1st Place - Michael Party : 79th Floor]

[Joint 1st Place - Demon King Backup Team 1 Party : 79th Floor]

[Joint 1st Place - Demon King Backup Team 2 Party : 79th Floor]

[Joint 1st Place - Demon King Backup Team 3 Party : 79th Floor]

[2nd Place - Mansik Party : 76th Floor]

The number of parties tied for 1st place expanded to a whopping five.

Naturally, stories about the Demon King's backup team, which took a mere two weeks to come up from the 1st floor, couldn't help but explode.

People had no choice but to make a fuss seeing that.

[Title - No, seems the Demon King is really going to enter the Deep Part of the Abyss???]

[Author - Keeps Dying]

『To suddenly shoot up this time and tie for 1st is insane;;;

This is practically the Demon King declaring that he will claim the Deep Part of the Abyss for himself.

Wow aren't they going to do this live???

There was no particular mention of it on the Rapid Guild channel.』

[Run Away Alone : Lmao I am looking forward to it. I was getting a bit bored because there hasn't been anything particularly fun from the Rapid Guild since the territory war.]

└[Keeps Dying (Author) : Real lmao Kinda looking forward to it.]

[No Cooldown Skills : The Michael Party also brought in a highly skilled mage named Yuseong and matched the Cheongwi Party, but…… the Demon King's party is practically a disaster.]

└[Keeps Dying (Author) : But there's a rumor that Yuseong is the Demon King?]

└[No Cooldown Skills : Yeah that rumor was going around, but Michael said why would the Demon King come to his party lmao I saw that and immediately agreed.]

└[Keeps Dying (Author) : Oof xD That is true.]

Stories were coming out and making a fuss, saying Rapid's Demon King seemed to be doing another fun content this time.

Hadn't there been no news for a whopping two weeks?

For those who were disappointed because his broadcasts weren't frequent despite having many fans, where else would there be better news than this?

The stories that spread in the Korean community like that spread overseas as well, and discussions wondering when Seonghyun would arrive were flowing out wildly.

Probably since the backup team hit joint 1st place as of yesterday.

There was a lot of talk that it might be today.

Although it wasn't a golden time slot like Saturday, Friday was also a time that could be considered a golden time slot, wasn't it.

Because of that, while everyone was checking the Rapid Guild's channel with expectant eyes.

Sure enough, a notice was posted by the Rapid Guild.

[Rapid Guild]

『Hello, I am Rapid, the Guild Master in charge of the Rapid Guild.

Today, I am posting this notice to the community to announce the live broadcast of Rapid's Demon King, Seonghyun-nim, which you have all been waiting for.

Seonghyun-nim's live broadcast will start today at 6 PM Korean time, so please tune in.

For your reference, this live broadcast will proceed without live tickets, so please keep that in mind.』

At that short and concise message, people waited eagerly for 6 PM, practically sticking their necks out.

And eventually, when that time came, they were waiting explosively on the Rapid Guild channel.

Because it was a live stream that could be watched without purchasing a live ticket.

As they entered like that, people typed question marks one by one.

-???????

-????????

-Why is Hael hyung appearing here?????

Because none other than Michael was smiling brightly and greeting the viewers while looking at them.
