A few possibilities:
- Black Mage is never fought (as mentioned already)
- After Black Mage is defeated, there will be a repeatable quest where NPC states that he has risen again, (Like Pap or Latanica) therefore Black Mage is defeatable but never killed.
- Some NPC informs you that the Black Mage was only at x/100% of his power, and has risen again and threaten the world once more.
- The Black Mage is only a weak, low-rank member of an organisation and players must face x number of bosses from this same organisation.
Generally the idea is that the story would never end, and therefore creating infinitely new reasons for players to keep playing and the MMO company to keep earning money.
