The Game of a Legendary Genius Dark Mage-Chapter 154

Seong was slightly intrigued by Valtar’s words, but...

“I—I don’t need training!!!”

Leonic also shouted in a desperate, frantic manner as he charged forward.

What kind of training is this, really?

Both Valtar and Leonic, as if driven by pure desperation, rushed forward, swinging their great sword and sword toward Carmen.

One against two.

However, Carmen seemed rather entertained by the whole thing.

She ran up the wall, swiftly bringing her spear down first toward Valtar.

Kaga-ka-ka-ka-ka!!!

She felt a strong recoil.

Valtar took a slight step back, but in the process, he smoothly swung his great sword.

Yet, from the moment it was swung, the great sword transformed into a heavy, thunderous strike that felt more like a bolt of lightning.

The graceful swordplay combined with the heavy weight of the great sword created a strike that drew a blood-red crescent, flying toward Carmen.

It seemed as though the crescent blade would split Carmen in two at any moment.

However, Carmen, with a swift somersault, managed to dodge the blood-red crescent.

It was a very close call, and Carmen barely avoided the strike.

Taking advantage of the opening, Leonic charged in.

While Carmen was still in mid-air after her somersault, Leonic’s sword came flying toward her.

“Take this!!!”

Leonic’s battle cry rang out as his blade swung, but Carmen, using the rotational momentum from her somersault, twisted her spear and deflected the blood-red crescent blade.

Immediately, she altered the trajectory of the blade, sending it straight at Leonic.

The blood-red sword aura collided with Leonic’s indigo-colored blade, clashing violently with each other.

Kwah-kwah-kwah-kwah-kwah!!!

“Damn it!”

The two energies seemed evenly matched.

The clash between them faded quickly, but Carmen, unharmed, aimed her spear at Valtar.

Shwoosh!!!

The spear sliced through the air, making a sharp, swift thrust that Valtar, having just used a powerful move, could not avoid.

No, he had tried to block it, but perhaps realizing it would be futile, he had decided to allow his left shoulder to take the blow.

However, at the last moment...

Kaga-ka-ka-ka-ka!!!

Fiora, with hands shaped into shields, blocked the spearhead first, and behind her, Noctrynium, using his hand to form a wall, supported her to prevent the spear from reaching its target.

“...?”

Even Carmen seemed caught off guard, her face showing confusion.

Just then, above her, Barfur appeared, his enormous hands brought together in a mighty slam.

Kwah-a-a-a-a-ng!!!

It was a nearly perfect team effort.

But Carmen, within that brief moment, retrieved her spear and used it to block Barfur’s strike. She then propelled herself off the ground, spinning in mid-air to soften the impact.

The air cracked as the shockwaves blasted outward.

But the force that reached Carmen wasn’t as devastating as it seemed.

Her combat sense and skills were on par with Leonic, Fiora, and Valtar.

Yet her power was so far beyond theirs that it made the situation complicated.

‘If she had just had the same skill as them...’

No.

Her physical strength was certainly greater than Carmen’s.

In fact, Carmen, despite being an undead from a hidden raid boss in an earlier area, was not as physically strong as Zine.

But the frightening thing about Carmen was how her strength was combined with such refined technique.

No wonder the other players couldn’t defeat her.

And an odd thought arose.

‘Who was the person that almost killed someone like her alone?’

The realization hit that the female player from the quest screen was far more impressive than first thought.

Bang!

Kwah-ka-ka-ka!

Fwoosh!

Kwah-ji-ji-ji-ji!!!

Carmen, Valtar, Leonic.

The three of them led the charge with ferocious attacks, while Fiora and Noctrynium defended and supported from the front and rear.

At the moment of an opening, Fiora suddenly transformed into the shape of a small dragon.

Everyone quickly retreated, and Fiora, opening her mouth, exhaled a breath.

Compared to a normal dragon...

Her breath was minuscule.

But it was more than enough to fill the labyrinth’s passage.

Carmen, too, looked at Fiora in her dragon form, her eyes and lips curving into a thin smile.

“I wonder what it feels like to cut off a dragon’s head?”

She muttered in a crazed tone.

Then she laughed terrifyingly.

The breath engulfed her.

Kwah-a-a-a-a-a-a-ng!!!

The entire labyrinth trembled as if it was shaking.

But more than the tremors, the breath seemed to melt everything in its path, as if it would dissolve both the walls and the ceiling.

Although it didn’t entirely melt everything, the walls began to melt like lava.

Amidst this molten destruction, Carmen burst out from the lava.

For a moment, one might doubt whether she was human.

Her skin had melted, revealing raw muscle beneath, as if it was dissolving.

Her skin had burned away, leaving horrific scars, yet her muscles remained intact, holding their shape.

Her exposed muscles looked like fibers.

Despite how painful it seemed...

“Gya-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!!!”

Carmen laughed madly.

Then she shouted.

“The scar from that woman has disappeared, hasn’t it!? Gya-ha-ha-ha-ha!”

Even the undead were left stunned by the sight, as Leonic muttered.

“She’s insane.”

Even Valtar, the demon, shook his head.

“She’s not normal.”

The two spoke as they stepped forward to stop Carmen, while Fiora, exhausted, retreated behind them.

Since Carmen was also wounded, it was assumed her strength had been weakened, leaving just the two of them to step up.

Barfur, carrying Fiora, moved to the rear.

It was too dangerous for Fiora to stay in the front.

As Barfur and Fiora moved to the rear, Carmen, with a crazy laugh, charged at Leonic and Valtar.

With a crazed shout, she swung her spear toward them.

The crimson aura wrapped around the spear as it seemed to elongate with an illusion, and with a swift motion, Carmen’s spear appeared to vanish before it suddenly struck.

Whoosh—!!!

The speed of her strike widened Leonic and Valtar’s eyes in shock.

Despite all the wounds she had received, she was still able to strike with such power?

In that instant, Noctrynium quickly formed a wall behind them, trying to give them time to brace, but it was no use.

Kwah-a-a-a-a-a—!!!

Carmen blocked the spear, but could not withstand the force. She was sent flying, crashing through the wall created by Noctrynium.

She didn't just lose her stance; she couldn't even hold her ground as she was violently thrown backward.

Seeing this, Noctrynium stepped forward to stop the attack.

But Noctrynium, being unsuitable for combat, was no match for Carmen.

Nevertheless, Noctrynium pushed forward, taking the lead to protect his master and blocked Carmen’s path.

“Huugh!!!”

When he unleashed his full strength, the entire labyrinth around them began to move, seemingly trying to engulf Carmen.

It would be nearly impossible to escape before the labyrinth was completely destroyed!

However, Noctrynium overlooked one critical detail.

Even if the labyrinth surrounded her...

It couldn't trap Carmen.

"Get out of the way!!!"

"You can't handle this!!!"

"No, Noctrynium!!!"

"Oh no!!!"

Everyone shouted, and Barfur rushed in to defend as quickly as possible, but it was too late.

Kwah-a-a-a-a—!!!

The vicious energy shattered the labyrinth, and amidst the destruction, something shot out like a ray of light.

It was Carmen holding her spear.

“Gya-ha-ha-ha-ha! Dieeeee!!!”

With that cry, the crimson spearhead rushed toward Noctrynium’s neck.

It seemed like it would sever Noctrynium’s head in an instant.

But the spear halted abruptly just in front of him.

In the dark labyrinth, a deeper darkness began to emerge beneath Carmen’s feet, and she tilted her head in confusion.

“What’s this?”

Her voice filled with doubt as a hand from the abyss reached toward her.

It surrounded Carmen.

Yet, Carmen scoffed at it.

“Hmph! This nonsense...”

[The grip of the Abyss will seal your movement for 3 seconds.]

[Hidden Raid Boss, "The Worst of Pentagrid, Carmen," is attempting to resist.]

[This is an unresistable skill.]

“...?”

At that moment, a dark energy shaped like a projectile appeared before Carmen.

The projectile struck her face with force.

Kwah-a-a-a-a—!!

“Khgh!”

[Critical Hit!]

Even Carmen groaned in pain as her head jerked back.

When she lifted her head again, a turquoise spear was lodged directly into her skull.

“Kraaaah!!!”

[Critical Hit!]

[Darkness damage applies.]

[The Worst of Pentagrid, Carmen, resists some of the damage.]

[The Worst of Pentagrid, Carmen, loses all sight and sensory perception for 2 seconds.]

Her senses were blocked.

She couldn’t tell up from down.

It was as if she had fallen into a weightless void.

Her vision was compromised.

She couldn’t even sense whether her restraints were released.

She could feel something, though.

But it wasn’t clear.

‘Am... am I bleeding?’

She felt the sharp blade against her skin.

Was it a delusion?

No, she thought, at least it wasn't.

[Using Sword Skill "Darkness."]

[The darkness consumes her.]

[The darkness engulfs the Worst of Pentagrid, Carmen, blocking her vision.]

[The darkness engulfs the Worst of Pentagrid, Carmen, blocking her hearing.]

[The darkness engulfs the Worst of Pentagrid, Carmen, blocking her sense of touch.]

[The darkness engulfs the Worst of Pentagrid, Carmen, blocking her sense of smell.]

[The darkness engulfs the Worst of Pentagrid, Carmen, blocking her sense of taste.]

[The darkness continues while the sword remains immersed in it.]

Even when her senses should have returned, they didn’t.

She could no longer differentiate up from down.

Her awareness returned, but it wasn’t complete.

She felt as though her body was moving, sensing the hostility coming toward her.

“Gya-ha-ha-ha-ha!!! You even use tricks like this!!!”

As she reacted to the incoming threat, Carmen, unable to feel anything, moved her body, managing to block the attack as best she could.

Although she couldn’t completely block Seong’s strike or the attacks from Leonic, Valtar, and Barfur, she did her best to defend.

Despite being completely senseless, she still managed to move.

Seong, watching from the side, shook his head in disbelief.

“Unbelievable.”

But not anymore.

Seong said this and activated his sword skill.

Deeper than darkness, darker than pitch-black.

As he wielded a sword wrapped in the energy of the Abyss...

Light returned to Carmen's eyes.

“It's darkness!!!”
