The Game of a Legendary Genius Dark Mage-Chapter 385

Seong’s fantastic laser show had the kind of splendor you’d expect from watching an air show.

A feat you couldn’t even dream of copying with ordinary control.

Mihael’s party, who witnessed it in person, couldn’t react at all.

They were too shocked to speak.

The chat, however, was different.

Is that even possible with pure control????

How would I know lol if I knew, would I be chatting here?

lolol that’s true.

No but seriously this is freaking absurd lololol

First time I’ve seen an air show done with beam-type skills lmao

I’ve got a beam-type skill too, I should try copying that lol

Low-key looks like it’d be good as control practice?

Purely amazed, they marveled, and a few even started seriously analyzing Seong’s control skill.

With control that good...... honestly it’s weird he’s not famous already???

Isn’t he someone else’s alt???

An alt at this level????

Why would anyone have an alt in Eternal World?

No, like, he’s hiding his identity;;;;

Ah.......

Could be, but is there anyone at this level he could overlap with?????

Not really, right?????

Who even uses beam skills????

Everyone started speculating like they were genuinely stumped.

Because no matter how you looked at it, this wasn’t normal control.

Rumors even went around that some famous player was hiding his identity and had joined Mihael’s party.

At that moment Mihael snapped out of it and hurriedly looked at the chat.

He might really be someone hiding his identity.

Hadn’t he obscured his nickname from the start?

But he couldn’t just leave the viewers to keep guessing like that.

“Okay, okay, everyone, calm down. Wow, I’m seriously blown away, but what do you mean by control......”

Mihael, trying to placate the viewers, zoned out as the scene flashed back in his head, his focus glazing over as if he were dazed.

The viewers just giggled at that sight instead.

lolololol

lololol ecstatic lolol

Hodong bro? lolol 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

lolol stop chugging omija tea lolol

Mihael’s expression was so deliciously expressive that everyone’s attention swiveled back to him.

Letting out a sigh of relief, Mihael pulled himself together and said,

“Alright then, shall we focus and head in? We’re going to tackle Floor 71.”

At those words, Seong gave a slight smile and thought to himself,

“Then the secret room should do.”

Thinking he had a neat little trick up his sleeve, Seong smiled faintly.

 Because Mansik’s party had already cleared Floor 71 and uploaded a video, Mihael’s party was able to proceed as if it were fairly easy.

In a place crowded with wraiths, red beams poured down like rain and mowed them down, and Mihael couldn’t help but be honestly impressed watching it.

“This is way faster than before.”

Compared to when they had Fren, the previous mage, Mihael scratched his head, thinking there was no helping the speed increase.

Sure enough, the chat also started posting comparison comments.

Wow this is way faster than when Fren was around.

Even if there’s a pathing video from Mansik’s party, clearing an untried floor this fast????

Mihael’s party was quick because they were already skilled, but this is just.......

Kyahhh, Yuseong oppa, go!!!

Yuseong-nim really is incredible.......

If at first they’d been swooning over looks alone, now they were awed by skill.

Beams bent and ricocheted every which way, popping out from who-knew-where, striking the wraiths’ critical weak points and dropping them in an instant.

In fact, not only Mihael, but Lowell and Noar also felt how easy things had become.

As if he grasped everything, whenever they seemed even slightly blocked, a red beam would slice in from the rear at an angle and strike a wraith, and through that opening they counterattacked, making the hunt at least twice as smooth.

He wasn’t just handling one or two beams either—their advance was blisteringly fast.

At this rate it’s a record???

More than twice as fast as Mansik’s party;;;

The exit’s close!!!

Wow lolol we’re already at the exit.

They were all gushing like that, spurring their push toward the final exit—

When a lot of wraiths appeared.

Back when Mansik’s party came through, wraiths hadn’t spawned here, but what dungeon is ever exactly the same?

While no one else paid it any mind, only Seong was smiling.

With six wraiths appearing, Mihael, Lowell, and Noar all joined in to dispatch them as quickly as possible, and Seong also fired countless beams.

And in the midst of that, while the fight continued with no one paying attention to Seong’s beams piercing the wraiths and smashing into the side wall behind them—

A few viewers noticed it.

Huh????????

Wait a sec???????

Over there????????

Is there something??????

They filled the chat with messages like that, but Mihael, in the middle of combat, couldn’t check until after they finished off all the wraiths—and then he saw the chat’s strange energy.

Not only that, he noticed something odd about a section of wall along the corridor where they’d fought the wraiths.

A hole—exactly beam-width—had been drilled through it; during battle you’d shrug that off.

But seeing that through the hole it looked like another space lay beyond, Mihael’s eyes went wide.

A secret spot—rare even here in Mugan.

The instant he saw it, Mihael reacted like a pro streamer.

“Uh, everyone, what on earth is this?! Is this the legacy Mansik’s party left behind?”

Everyone snickered at Mihael’s line.

lololololol why are you trying to bury Mansik’s party lolol

lolol they’re still alive.

lolol can’t believe he sent them off.

lolololol.

But for real, a secret room is shocking;;;

Mansik’s party only made Floor 71 public, but wasn’t the last hidden room found in the 50s?

Mihael nodded at that last chat and responded,

“Right, the last hidden room was on Floor 53—the hidden room our party found.”

Even if you didn’t upload a full strategy video, discovering a hidden room was the kind of thing you always posted as a video.

Why?

Because once a hidden room is revealed, other parties can’t open it anymore.

So even Cheongwi’s party, who didn’t do strategy vids or lives, would make and upload a video when they found a hidden room.

Mihael’s party, by contrast, was the type to stream it openly like this.

They’d discover it live and later edit it into a video too.

And here they were, discovering a hidden room on day one with Seong.

Mihael looked at Seong like he was a walking good-luck charm.

Then he explained to Seong,

“Ahem, since it’s your first time in Mugan today, Yuseong-nim, I’ll explain.”

Ah, Mihael-wagon is rolling in.

Ah this is gonna be long;;;;

Keep it short, Principal!!!

The viewers were grumbling in chat, but Mihael was a streaming genius—while talking, he framed the camera on Seong’s face as he listened, and the complaints melted like snow.

Ahhh, that’s healing.

He really is handsome.

Ridiculously handsome, actually;;;

lolol why do I smile just watching him? Ah, that’s what premium visuals do.

lolol my girl bestie once told me I look funny too.

Looking funny and making people smile are different things;;;

ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ why are you dragging me too ㅜㅠㅠㅠ

While chat buzzed like that, Mihael kindly explained to Seong.

First, about hidden rooms.

“Hidden rooms can contain all kinds of things, but broadly there are three types. One is a shortcut, another is a treasure room with items that help with the clear or with good/rare loot, and the last one is a dud!”

“Oh-ho?”

“Dud” was new to him, so Seong listened quietly.

Mihael went on, step by step.

“Personally, I think the shortcut is the best. Treasure rooms are good too, but a lot of times the stuff is awkward to liquidate. Our party usually sells most things and splits evenly, but if there’s something you need, just say so. Usually if someone needs an item, we check market price and divide the cash equivalent evenly.”

“That’s a reasonable method.”

“If you want to keep a party together long-term, equal splits like this matter.”

Even for a party leader, splitting things that way isn’t easy, so Seong nodded, a little impressed.

Just as Mihael said, it was a pretty important discussion.

Listening, Seong decided a shortcut would definitely be best.

However—

“In a dud, monsters spawn, and shortcuts can also spawn monsters. They’re extremely strong, boss-tier monsters, but in exchange the path jumps you up a floor.”

“If this is a shortcut, we’d go to Floor 73.”

“Exactly.”

As Mihael finished,

Seong smiled like he understood.

“Let’s hope it’s a shortcut.”

“Oh for sure—then we can overtake Mansik’s party today, easy.”

When Mihael said that, the chat cracked up again.

Mihael’s party, Mansik’s party, and Cheongwi’s party were always trading the lead and bickering in a friendly rivalry like this.

lolol they’re saying something different over there, you know?

lolol look at Hael bro getting hyped.

Please let it be a dud ㅠㅠㅠ I can’t stand Hael bro leeching ㅠㅠㅠ that guy needs to suffer a little.

(User has been blocked.)

A few viewers who genuinely wanted to see Mihael crash and burn got chat-banned, and Mihael chuckled,

“Yeah, I’m gonna leech~”

Even as he said it, Mihael honestly didn’t think this would be a shortcut.

Across all their clears so far, Mihael had discovered three hidden rooms in total.

And among those, not a single shortcut had appeared.

Same for Mansik’s party—out of the two they’d found, none were shortcuts.

Only Cheongwi’s party had found a hidden room that turned out to be a shortcut.

He’d thought they were insanely lucky; shortcuts weren’t supposed to be common anyway.

Without dwelling on it, they all entered the hidden room together.

Inside, a single massive golem that looked like a wraith giant was rising to its feet, and at the sight of a monster that was clearly no ordinary foe, Mihael was slightly rattled.

If it was a Giant Wraith Golem, it was definitely boss-tier.

And a boss-tier monster appearing in a hidden room meant—?

Mihael hurriedly scanned the surroundings and saw, behind the Giant Wraith Golem it was guarding, a clearly separate door—his eyes blinked wide.

“A shortcut!!?”

“Ugh!?”

“I-It’s really a shortcut!!!”

While Mihael, Lowell, and Noar were all beside themselves with shock,

Only Seong smiled faintly and said,

“Looks like we’re ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) lucky.”

A cool smile, as if everything had gone exactly to plan.

LOLLLLLL

How does even saying ‘we’re lucky’ look cool;;;

lolol he’s stupid handsome.

The viewers didn’t care about any of that—they were too busy showering Seong with praise for being handsome.
