Return of the Archmage

6.

Rumors go around fast among users.

In particular, rumors in places like the ranking selection match are faster than light.

"Did you hear that the Black Wizards are back in action?"

"Huh? The Black Wizard? The ones who lost in last year's final?

He was caught killing indiscriminately in the first preliminary round.”

"Oh, crazy. Massacre?"

"I've heard that there are a lot of users who haven't come back from the first round, but maybe it's all the black wizards."

"No, why do they have to slaughter decent users?"

"It's obvious. When you meet top rankers, you have to lower your head and not make a sound, but if you stay still, you can't get attention, so you're defending yourself by killing ordinary people who can kill you."

"Insane people. Anyway, the middle ones are the problem. If you're going to kill only the top rankers, you'd be considered a real world conqueror or something, but it's a piece of crap."

Rumors of one or two burning mouths swell and swell.

Rumors of such swelling spread throughout the event map, which has nearly 100,000 participants.

In the meantime, the system does not wait for the second preliminary round, but even in the second preliminary round, people who meet for the first time talk about the black wizard rather than the monster.

"Well, what do you say about the black sorceresses running around? I was pretending to be a regular user, and whenever I see a chance, I put a knife bread on my back."

"They're crazy. Absolutely."

"But I heard it's not hard to tell because it looks like a total nerd. Women, be especially careful. Whenever I see women, they drool and do something bad before they kill them.”

"You bastards. I'll turn you into a snitch when I see you."

"But he could already be a whistleblower. I heard that learning black magic makes you stronger quickly, but there's a big problem with sexual function as a side effect."

"Well, that's right. Those things should be cut off at all."

When black wizards listen to it, misunderstandings spread even over unfair content.

However, it is not possible to explain it by saying that is not the case.

He quietly barks at those who mess things up and waits for the right moment.

Of course I'm not stopping what I'm doing.

As usual, when the preliminary round begins, the operation will be carried out after looking at the estimate.

The perception of black wizards spreading in the world, fearing the strong and hurting the weak, is an unpleasant misconception among black wizards, but on the contrary, it works in their favor.

Black magicians are by no means weak.

Especially for users in their level 3s and 40s, it is almost as strong as a disaster.

In that situation, they're all over the place talking to themselves.

It's rather easy to cook.

Instead of expressing anger, it is repaid with death.

Hundreds of users fail to return at the end of each preliminary round.

This is not a noticeable number compared to nearly 100,000 users, but it is enough to be an issue in situations where people realize that this is happening.

The number of users participating in the third preliminary round has plummeted.

If about 30,000 people participated last year, about 20,000 people this year, which is 30% of the figure, chose to step back from the unsettled atmosphere.

Due to a small number of black wizards estimated to be few.

I can't help it.

The vicious rumors about the black wizards have spread as far as they can go, but there has been no telling how to tell them apart.

The appearance of the body from the party that killed the first black wizard was also just an ordinary user who could not be found to be a black wizard.

That's natural.

It's not like the black magicians in the novel, they tattoo and torture their bodies, they're just like other ordinary users, they're expressing their hidden desires.

How can such people appear on the outside?

There are many users who live normally with black magic skills.

That's why you give up.

As if to avoid poop because it's dirty.

This poo is dirty and scary.

What I thought was soybean paste could suddenly turn into poop in my mouth.

If it's an event that you can participate in next year, and you can enjoy it safely next year, it could be safe, but if you think it'll be okay, you don't want to participate and watch the people who don't want to watch the event next year.

The number is ten thousand.

That's a lot of numbers in the third qualifying.

The rest of the men are those who think that if I am a black wizard, I will be able to win unless I wake up and get a surprise attack.

But what if it's getting better?

What if I didn't hear about the Black Wizard and kept hearing the damage?

The Black Wizards have shown themselves how it works.

After the preliminary round, after a day off, in the finals.

***

10,000 finalists who made it through the fierce preliminary round.

Too few considering that the actual qualification process for the finals is qualification.

There are too few, if any, users for tourism.

Nevertheless, no one complained that there were fewer participants.

This is because they know what's going on inside even outside.

In that situation, the finals were held.

Most users proceed with the finals with their videos on.

There is a reason why I want to show off my strength, but the video I post on the user community is more money than the cost of living for most users.

If the number of subscribers can be increased fortunately with these events, it will be more helpful to crack.

The user who took place was a user with a certain fixed audience.

The first opponent I met in a video clip where about 100 people are watching.

The user wearing a black robe looks extraordinary at a glance.

"Everyone, can you see this? It's my first opponent in the finals. It looks quite suspicious that you're wearing a robe inside out. I think he might be a black wizard. I'll try to fight it carefully."

Level of user streaming is 50.

It's never low.

Even if a user who was so gloomy was a black wizard, he could overcome it.

You think it might be dangerous?

"Black magicians usually dress up as ordinary people.’

I did, but it didn't occur to me that I wanted to run away when the viewers were watching.

Above all, the number of viewers began to increase noticeably the moment I met an opponent who is believed to be a black wizard.

From 100 to 150 people, 200 people.

And with one minute left before the start of the game, the number surpassed 1,000.

The streaming user was convinced.

No, there's nothing to be sure of.

This is a natural result.

If we win here, we can increase the number of regular viewers, whether the opponent is a black wizard or not.

If you can show your unique hunting style and videos that lead to fun, you can grow up. Have you worked hard so far with confidence?

His weapon, the giant axe, is strenuous.

They rush into the game with the number of viewers up to 2,000.

The opponent is a monster.

He's a black wizard who deserves to die.

Think so and wield your weapon.

It's an event that doesn't matter if you kill your opponent anyway.

But if you are determined to kill him, your opponent will give up when you win.

"Yap!"

It was soon revealed to the world that it was a dream that was briefly dreamed by a streaming user alone.

Huh-!

The moment the rough-winged axe cuts through the air and the black vines that rise from the ground hugs the user's body.

"Oops!"

"It's stupid. It's tumbling. Is mana all 20 at the most?"

A derisive voice flows into the robe.

The hand holding the ax shakes.

This is because the voice that clearly penetrates the ear will be delivered to more than 2,000 viewers.

The user's eyes go into the air.

The number of users increased from 2,000 to 10,000.

But the user couldn't be happy.

"Is the number of viewers that important before you die?”

“……!”

Goosebumps all over my body!

As I turned my head, I could see a sneer in the robe.

And then I realized.

It's an unbeatable enemy.

I should have realized in the first place.

If you're a wizard who holds a 50-level user for more than a minute with one magic shot.

"Hhh, the Black Wizard.

"Yes, he's a black wizard. Thank you for keeping our moves neat. I hope you can capture it well until the end.

It's a ranker.

That's also a very high-level ranker.

And he tries to show something with his wealth.

To people all over the world, not themselves.

As soon as he realized it, user shouted.

I was going to shout.

Give up!

The way to give up the ranking selection match is simple.

You don't have to say it or go out of the stadium, but you can express your will.

Do you want to give up the first round?]

Then a hologram pops up, and once again expresses your willingness to give up, the game is over.

'Po...'

Viewers are sad, but not as sad as their lives.

Level 50 user's bold determination!

But that determination is too late.

He should have made a decision in a situation where he might be a black wizard.

No, I should have done it in a situation where the Black Wizard was speaking.

Instead of checking the number of viewers, it might have been possible if they had given up the game.

"It's too late."

"Uh!"

As soon as he expresses his willingness to give up once again, Mana of the Black Wizard penetrates into the head of the user.

The mana carries out only one mission.

"Give up, give up!"

[Casting canceled.]

Dispel.

The magic that invalidates the opponent's magic also hinders the mental concentration of the opponent, who has a wide difference in horsepower.

It is a dispel because it is a good word, and it also works as a confusion for the general public, which leads to exploiting the blind spot of a system that focuses on the will and makes holograms a reality.

"Oh, what happened? I give up! I give up!

"There's nothing you can do. I can't give up my life."

Black magicians are clever.

This kind of trick comes as a great fear to others.

"Let's get started."

With an evil smile, in the first match of the finals, the user ended his life with 200,000 viewers.

The viewers watched.

Vividly.

Until image streaming is automatically terminated with the death of the user.

Painfully dying users and countless black spells that could cause fear.

"Shake with fear. Fear, the Black Wizards are always there for you and may be the people around you. As soon as we forget this and let our guard down, we will take away your lives."

At the same time as being childish, he would have been snobbish if he had heard it, but his force and his hidden appearance in the robe were enough to fearfully accept childish words.

The misguided black wizards revealed themselves to the world in different ways.

And that was just the beginning.
