The Game of a Legendary Genius Dark Mage

5.

The sewers beneath Ninyaru’s upper city were divided into two sections.

The old sewers, which had existed since the city's foundation.

And the new sewers, built after renovations to modernize the city's infrastructure.

Currently, only the new sewers were in use. The old sewers had been abandoned, rarely visited, and left unmaintained.

In contrast to Ninyaru’s vibrant and dazzling appearance, the old sewers were the city’s darkest and most sinister location.

And this was exactly where Seong had arrived.

A massive sewer entrance, at least ten meters in diameter, loomed before him.

Seeing it, Seong smiled.

"This is the place."

He had found the right location.

Paul’s memories had shown him the sewers, so he had expected a foul stench and unhygienic conditions.

Fortunately, since this sewer system had long been abandoned, it wasn’t as bad as he had feared.

Serpina, who had been worrying about the same thing, let out a sigh of relief.

After surveying the surroundings, Seong prepared to step forward.

But Helena shot him a curious look and asked,

“What kind of master goes in ahead of his subordinates?”

“Hm? Is that so?” Seong tilted his head.

“It is proper that we take the lead,” Fiora affirmed.

“Hmmm, placing the vanguard up front is more efficient,” Serpina admitted.

—Kahahaha! I shall go first!

—M-Me too!

His minions all voiced their insistence.

If Seong had stubbornly insisted on going first, they would have obeyed, albeit reluctantly.

But there was no need to be difficult.

Acknowledging their concerns, he gave a slight nod.

With that, Valtar, the tank, took the lead, alongside the versatile Fiora.

Noctrynium followed close behind, with Seong, Helena, and Serpina forming the rear guard.

A perfectly balanced formation.

Satisfied, the group entered the old sewers.

The tunnel was structured like a massive underground cavern, where sounds should have echoed endlessly.

But strangely, their footsteps made no noise at all.

Seong found it odd.

“That would be my skill,” Serpina said.

Her explanation revealed that it was a wind-based sound suppression ability.@@novelbin@@

It seemed incredibly useful.

As Seong contemplated its applications, he suddenly halted.

Sensing his movement, his minions immediately stopped as well, eyes fixed on him.

• Basilica’s Spy is a Hidden Raid Boss.
• This encounter is extremely difficult to clear alone.
