Drug-Eating Genius Mage - Chapter 151

Clash (4)

“Whoa…..”

Lennok, who took out a cigarette from his arms with a tired expression, slowly reaped his territory.

It is good to amplify one’s mana power through the realm, but the sense of exhaustion that comes along with the consumption of mana is tremendous.

This reaction, which makes your head blank and your thinking dull, is the price you pay for the miracle of matching your sensory sphere with the entire space.

Implementing a change in the nature of a person’s intentions in a specific area required an enormous amount of mental strength and will.

Was it an attempt to buy Lennok time to recover?

Beyond Dylan and Mila, who stood in his way, he could see Irina, who remained alone and met his gaze.

Lennok said, looking straight at the sight of the faintly trembling tip of the greatsword she was holding.

“I can guess what kind of injury you got and how you got here by looking at the thing you’re holding in your hand.”

“………”

“That demonic sword wriggling unpleasantly. In fact, it must be something that cannot be used without sucking the blood of others, right?”

If it’s an Artifact that can withstand even the reversal of magic using Lennok’s Realm, then it’s definitely a high-quality item. However, at the same time, it was an item that satisfied Irina’s own use.

The moment when he teamed up with the fat man to ambush Lennok from the basement.

All of the finely chopped incontinence must have been the result of the sword strike she created in an instant.

Cutting power enough to cut through several meters of concrete at once. And even if they collide head-on with Lennok’s magic, it’s destructive power will never be pushed back.

Indeed, how much of that blood-drinking greatsword was Irina Pesfield’s skill?

“Seeing that, everyone understands that they wanted to be treated by a medicine man. The fact that the promising leader of the exploration actually fell into harm while using a demonic sword that sucked people’s blood must have been a secret that could not be said even with a tearing mouth.”

Seeing her wince, Lennog smirked.

Lennok continued to move his mouth and watch her reaction with cold eyes.

The important thing is not to find out facts and causation.

It was enough to shake her a little before the final battle to come.

“How many people have you killed?”

“……”

“How many of your members have you killed to use that dog-like sword?”

If it was a cursed device that only works by drinking human blood, it would be a natural outcome.

In particular, Irina Pesfield was the leader of the expedition, whose job it was to explore rare ruins.

It is not strange at all that even if you borrow the power of the magic sword to your heart’s content, the phenomenon of running out of fuel occurs.

And isn’t it obvious who would have been sacrificed to overcome the difficulties of the moment.

At the same time as Lennok continues to speak, thoughts follow each other.

The moment something vaguely conjectured in your head is uttered in specific language, it instantly turns into a clear conviction.

Natural intuition and observation. Perfectly established logical thinking led Lennok to the correct answer in an instant.

“…Compared to the outstanding achievements of the expedition team, there were rumors that relatively many unsolved artifacts were circulating. But what if it was an artifact that could not be easily disclosed to the public, rather than just to keep the treasure for themselves?”

“……..Please stop it.”

“If all the results are disclosed transparently and the ‘unsavory thing’ that happened in the process of exploring the ruins is accidentally revealed–” “

Shut up!!!!”

Irina’s voice, which had lost its composure, resounded through the villa.

“……”

“Whoa……”

Irina turned away from Lennok, who was silent, and walked slowly to the side.

A member of the expedition team who was knocked out in the previous battle. Towards the back of her chest, as if she was still breathing, faintly moving her chest.

Fu-wook!

She thrust the greatsword in with all her might.

“Eww?!”

At the same time, like a living creature, the greatsword began to suck human blood while gurgling loudly.

“Wow….. disgusting bastard…”

Mila frowned.

A mercenary with a lot of bones wouldn’t have been offended by this level, so her words were a reminder of Irina’s actions of conserving strength by using her colleagues as nourishment.

However, Irina did not blink an eye and opened her mouth without hesitation.

“I’m sorry. If only one of the three of them had been killed, this wouldn’t have happened… I’ll have to pay more attention to the next expedition.”

“Every word you say is like a gem. Isn’t that a concept?”

Her attitude that this was not the first time something like this had happened was so unconcerned that it made Lennok stick out his tongue.

I thought he was unluckily involved with the cold-blooded exploration leader, but it turned out that he was almost a psychopath.

Was the calm and ruthlessness he had shown so far actually a camouflage to cover up his spirit that seemed even fanatical?

“Well, it’s not like I’m doing this because I like it. It’s just that there are things that need to be retrieved, and I’ve been rummaging around in old graves for that.”

flutter!

A simple cloak on her shoulder fluttered, and at the same time a silver staff appeared from her waist.

Light suddenly descended from the sky centered on Irina, who pulled out a pair of wings hanging from her head and quickly recited a chant.

Aaaaaaa!!

An enormous amount of holy light falling like a waterfall from the dry sky.

Although there was no magical power or magic, it is not difficult to see that it was a very powerful self-supporting technique.

“If you think about it, everything was twisted from the beginning. After failing to search the auction house to obtain the talisman of medicine, and conversely, the separated artifact was taken away… Now the exploration team has lost all power.”

“……..”

“It is time to cut the knot that has become so entangled that it cannot be untied.”

coo!!

As soon as Irina took a step, the villa shook violently.

I didn’t even have to think about how much the physical ability contained in that diminutive body was amplified.

“I will kill the three of them, retrieve my lost artifact, and finish all of this. You can ask the body where the medicine line is. Don’t think that you can die easily now that you’ve come this far.”

Irina Fesfield’s expression, as if she thought she had completed all the preparations, was overflowing with a murderous expression that could no longer be hidden.

But does she know

So far, how many corners Lennok had to touch before she was ready.

She didn’t know what to think, but the moment she stupidly watched Lennok activate the area, the game was over.

If she wanted to, she could have reversed all the magical energy that existed in her body at that moment when the realm unfolded, making her unable to recover and killing her.

But I didn’t have to do that and listened to her long nonsense until now.

It was to check all of Irina’s abilities and to check the abilities of her artifacts.

A powerful self-supporting technique that exists in the Archangel’s Staff of Compassion.

The start-up language and the flow of magical power used to activate it. And even the smallest hand gestures were noticed.

Based on that, if you analyze the abilities contained in the Archangel’s Compassion, it won’t be too difficult to find a clue about the ability of the artifact.

“half.”

And Dylan, who had been motionless and silent until now, stepped forward.

“I told you last time. Do you remember?”

“………”

“In exchange for this job, ask me to choose just one artifact I want.”

“okay.”

“I’ll take it with the sword that woman is holding.”

Come to think of it, Lenok had a different intention to grasp all of Irina’s abilities, but Dylan must have had a reason for staying by his side.

Considering that even before I started working, I had said that I was looking for items related to Guido.

It was clear that that blood-sucking greatsword was one of the targets he was looking for.

Dylan glanced back at Lennok.

“Since you took the risk here to show us your realm, I must tell you a secret of mine.”

As he said that, he very slowly removed the thick gloves from both hands.

Seeing his bare hands exposed through the gloves, Lennok fell silent.

His bare skin was an impossibly deep dark red.

Gooooooh…

Dylan’s bare hand gripped the sword, and at the same time the long long sword he was holding began to heat up.

The sleekly smelted blade instantly turns dark red and scatters blood.

“Milla.”

“Even if you don’t tell me, I’m ready.”

As a cue, Mila pulls the trigger on her shotgun.

Dylan stomped out of the seat, bending his knees, and Irina raised her greatsword.

“let’s go.”

It’s a moment to capture each other’s appearance with both eyes. However, the moment that the breath touched was much shorter than that.

The moment the two sword blades wrapped around each other and fell down, the sound lost its way.

Woooooooooo!!

It wasn’t enough that the villa shook greatly, and now it seems that even the basic structure of the building is shaking.

“Aaaaa!!”

Irina, who wields a blood-curdling greatsword, heavily controls the space and puts the two of them in line of sight at the same time.

Dylan doesn’t lose to him and receives the strong attack from the front.

Digging into that gap exquisitely, even the appearance of Mila shooting a shotgun directly at Irina’s body.

bends in

With Irina’s outstretched left foot as an axis, her body rotated one full turn, and the greatsword she was holding rotated two more times.

Kagagak!!

Wow!!

A roaring sound that could tear my eardrums.

However, Dylan catches his breath and, in reverse, digs forward, disrupting Irina’s RBI.

Movement speed that is incomparable to before.

Perhaps, taking off the gloves and holding the weapon with bare hands, his overall physical abilities improved.

Dillon’s gaze, which penetrated the inner range of the great sword, wandered frantically up, down, left and right, looking for gaps.

In the meantime, Irina, who pulled the handle strongly and in an instant raised her hand, swung the sword again.

feeze.

Quaang!

Before they could even exhale, the dozens of swordplays they had fired quickly ran at each other’s leashes.

Luxury even in the blink of an eye. The moment they realized, they were already inhaling the scent of death that each other had extended.

The fear that runs down your cheek. Deafening frustration. Pass through the fear that pierces the chest and grab the opponent’s heart.

The lifeblood that flowed along the tip of the knife was so messy that it was impossible to tell who it belonged to.

“Ahhh..!!”

With Dylan taking a deep breath.

Doo doo doo!!

With a sound as if a machine gun was pouring out, Dylan’s single sword swung down heavily on the surface of the great sword.

Not only the long sword in his hand, but also the short spear slung on his back and the pistol he wore around his waist, swinging with his whole body, transforming into a storm of living blades.

While using various weapons at the same time, he put the necessary swordsmanship in the right place without missing or missing any one.

floating!!

The blades with dark red magic frenziedly moved back and forth between both hands and legs in accordance with her graceful gestures, combed the thick blade of the greatsword, rode like a snake and stabbed Irina’s neck.

It was an onslaught of beasts approaching as if they were tearing flesh.

Dylan’s unleashed attacks were no longer an area that could be thought of as reason or battle logic.

Combat experience accumulated over a long period of time. And oriental medicine aims at the gap in the unconscious that can only be extended by relying on the wildness that lives and breathes inside.

The dagger kicked up by the boot cuts deep into Irina’s neck, pumping blood.

Chow ah!!

“…..!!!!!!”

Despite her own bloodstains covering her eyes, she clenched her teeth without even thinking about stopping the bleeding in her throat.

The enormous assistive technique that the archangel’s compassion exerts instantly finishes first aid for her body and infuses her body with more power than is permitted.

The ground was greatly distorted around her stepping foot, and at the same time, the lobby floor on the first floor of the villa completely collapsed this time.

Jijik!!

However, at that moment, her sword strike, which finished the sword, drew a long arc.

I love you!!

A crimson crescent moon rose above the villa’s sky, tearing the huge mansion in half.

Kwaaaaa!!!

Against the two of them, without any excuses or excuses.

The image of Irina Pesfield desperately running toward life is truly memorable.

Even if it was she who had walked all the way to this place, misleading everyone with her words and sacrificing others for herself.

Irina was also an unmistakable warrior.

Enormous self-supporting techniques through the Archangel’s compassion and destructive power support using blood-drinking greatswords.

However, the skill to wield that weapon is entirely her own.

It was unmistakably the realm of a superman to wield a greatsword, which was difficult to balance even with a slender body, at such close range and machine gun-firing speed.

“Guido’s beast dares!!!”

“Ha ha ha ha ha!!!”

Dylan laughed out loud at Irina’s screaming.

“Now you know. But it’s too late!!”

Taaang!!

Mila’s shockwave that arrives without fail at the moment of a big swing.

Despite the slash that splits the villa in half, there is not an inch of shaking in her eyes.

Is it her inborn nature to not be intimidated in the slightest even in the storm of sword attacks, which is difficult to see with both eyes?

However, the moment brought by her recklessness, which is a shame to even call it recklessness, was everything to Dylan.

Kwajik!

A hard boot crushes Irina’s toe.

Awesome!

Climb up on your knees and cut your joints.

Pooh!!

It spins around its side and inserts a dagger, cutting down daggers on both shoulders.

Ddu-dududuk!!

The moment when the red-stained long sword rode Dylan’s gripped arm and turned her right arm around.

The greatsword she clenched tenaciously flew into the sky with futile ease.

Irina let out a desperate scream.

“AA AA AA!!”

The archangel’s compassion in response to her earnest will released a huge wave as it reacted, and at that moment, Dylan and Mila, who were trying to grab her heart, were thrown back.

“Haha!!”

“half!!”

And with the time Dylan and Mila had created, Lennok, who had regained some composure, immediately raised his magic.

“Good job.”

Pajijijijik!!!!

Indeed, after a long time, he picked up his mana and threw it into the sky.

Pajijijik….!!!

What you want is always just one image.

An image of intense lightning striking the sky.

In it, the experience accumulated so far and the results of research are completely melted.

He wielded the hammer of thunder.

Hoping that this will be enough warning to her supporters who will be watching this scene from somewhere.

Lightning class common magic.

[Thunder Calling] Change in nature.

[Baekrak (白落)]

“Eeee… Lee Ik!!”

Still, at that moment, did he even intuit something from the way Lennok threw his mana into the sky?

He stretched out his battered left arm, threw up the cloak he was wearing, and pulled out the Archangel’s Staff of Compassion to create a huge shield pointing towards the sky.

Rather, Lennok pointed down to the ground and grinned.

“Reversal transition.”

Doo doo doo doo!!!!”

A space transfer of magical power that would not normally exist.

“No way no way…!!! How did you get the ability of the artifact to this extent…!!!!!”

Only then did Irina, realizing the truth of all this, let out a scream-like scream.

All the defenses deployed above her head were put to shame, and the brilliant white flash that burst out from under her feet covered all her screams.

Aaaaaaaaaaa!!!!

Powerful auxiliary techniques and superhuman physical abilities are meaningless in the face of enormous heat.

Irina Pesfield’s body quickly turned to ash and dust under the flames of the torpedo, which tore flesh and bone and burned.

The earth’s axis shook as a whole, and a deafening roar resounded.

Pillars of pure white light burning the entire villa soared into the sky, drawing a gigantic group dance.

After the blinding flash has gone, all that remains is the ruins of the villa, which is on the brink of collapse.

Only the screams of the mad exploration leader, who shocked everyone, echoed faintly.

Lennok silently raised his staff, which still glowed silver, from among the burning ashes.

“……”

It was like he finally got what he wanted, but the impression wasn’t that great.

Was it because the conflict with the exploration team was more tiring than expected?

Instead, I saw Dylan clearing Irina’s severed arm and holding a greatsword.

Looking down at it with a complicated look, Dylan sighed and slowly picked up the greatsword.

“Whoa…”

The hideous looking greatsword held in a dark red hand suited him quite well.

For some reason, the greatsword that had been spitting out blood in Irina’s hand was dutifully silent in Dylan’s hand.

“Ugh… you guys must give me an incentive when you go back.” Lennok

laughed at

Mila’s blunt words, clutching her throbbing head, possibly because she had overused her psychic powers, and leaned her back against the wall of the mansion that was slowly collapsing.

A small dispute that started at the auction house ignited the fuse, and eventually Lennok succeeded in extinguishing the ember before it grew.

I can roughly guess what happened to the Arashak Ruins Exploration Team.

It wasn’t that hard to pinpoint clues with just those words that Irina muttered.

Guido. The name of an unidentified denomination that appeared in the world of WORLD 2.0.

Perhaps she was a person related to the church named Guido, who was responsible for collecting and handing over the artifacts related to the church to the church, and was periodically replacing the exploration team due to the sacrifices that occurred in the process.

The greatsword she had must have been an item that directly helped her in her work and belonged to the Guido Church.

And Dylan faced it right here and succeeded in taking it from Irina.

There must be more hidden reasons why the demonic sword, which seemed to be a member of the church, remained silent in Dylan’s hands even when she held it, but… Lennok did not bother to ask Dylan deeply about the circumstances

.

They were mercenaries and freelancers.

If he needed help, just like Lennok did today, it would be enough if he offered a reward and made a request.

What Lennok had to do now was not to think about the Order of Guido.

Now that the confrontation with the exploration team has been settled.

Lennok’s gaze was finally moving past the numbing obstacle and beyond.

“Shall we go to listen to Jenny’s answer?”

drug lord. Juice Master.

drug trafficking. A business of enormous scale where astronomical money comes and goes.

It is time to move to rob the safe of the greatest colossus that holds 40% of the corrupt desires that occur throughout the continent.

Reconciliation

“It’s over.”

Jenny nodded as she looked away from her laptop.

Beyond the screen, the thunderstorm that had been flashing nonstop until just now had subsided and the scenery of the ruined villa was reflected.

Since he started observing from a considerable distance, he didn’t even see what kind of magic Lennok was using from there, but Jenny had a rough idea of how great he was.

It is because she has been working with a magician called Ban for a considerable amount of time, trying to develop an eye for magic in her own way.

You can never maintain a good relationship for a long time by just asking stupid things that come flying steadily.

There are things that can be done only when you have basic knowledge about the way freelancers handle work, and control the important things that seem trivial, such as the working environment and working time preferences of the freelancers you belong to.

“Isn’t that great?”

Jenny thought so and spoke to the person sitting across from her.

“………”

Ignoring the inaudible reply, she continued.

“Even after throwing that much firepower in one shot, the shape of the mansion remains almost the same as before.”

It’s not very noticeable, but it’s absolutely impossible unless you have almost perfect control over the power you wield.

This was always the way Lennok handled things, as if the sword he swung never had a drop of blood on it.

“Ban doesn’t say anything about his magical prowess, but everyone knows that talent isn’t of the ordinary kind. It’s not just the qualities of a mage, it’s more like a matchmaker.”

Even if you don’t say anything, everyone will recognize the awl sticking out of your pocket.

A callous attitude that makes no judgment about oneself.

However, his unique overwhelming ability and perfect workmanship make even such cold pride appear as firm trust.

The achievements she achieved within a year of starting her freelance life were something she had never seen before, even as she had been a broker for a long time.

“I know. That Van had no intention of being satisfied with this kind of life. Common sense makes no sense. In the first place, it’s ridiculous that a person like this appeared in a back alley overnight. There are circumstances, and in the end, this life is just a means to him.”

“…..so?”

The mouth of the person facing Jenny opened.

“What do you want to say, Jenny? You didn’t invite me because you wanted to brag about your partner right now, right?”

“No way. What I want to say is… sooner or later the game on this street may change.”

“……”

At those words, the man leaned deeply towards her for the first time.

“It’s a bit surprising.”

“………”

“I thought you were the type to hate saying things like that. Did he like you that much?”

It is difficult to say that the existence of only one person will create waves in the shadowy territory of the Balkans.

Especially if you know the details of the darkness buried in this city.

A place overflowing with power and desire that even the head of the agent, Evelyn Marcia, cannot touch.

If you look at that depth, there’s no way she wouldn’t know that freelance is just a level where you’ve just dipped your toes.

But nonetheless, it must mean that Jenny has enough confidence in the wizard that she is Van, to bring out these words to him now.

Jenny nodded meekly.

“that’s right. So please lend me your strength.”

“It’s strength…”

“I say I don’t know what will happen to people, but I’m even thinking of completely reorganizing my business centered on my class. And in the process, we are looking for competent investors and partners who can cooperate.”

“jenny.”

“At the current rate, half of them will be out of the freelance category in no time. Since you’ve already created a silver circle while intertwining with Dyke corporations and agents, it’s only a matter of time before you run into those who rule the outskirts of the megalopolis. You have to be prepared before that.”

“………..”

He remained silent at Jenny’s firm words.

He knew both Kaise and Jenny and had been watching her for a long time since she started working as a broker.

He also knew that she had something she wanted to accomplish by cooperating with Ban.

At one time, that expectation was directed toward men, too.

The man chuckled and laughed.

“I should have met Dylan when he started talking… I was too lazy.”

He got up from his seat and lightly put down the glass he was holding.

“It is difficult to give an answer right now. you know?”

“of course.”

Jenny answered.

At least I’m satisfied that I didn’t hear a negative answer here.

That’s why the influence he had on this street was difficult to be easily touched.

It’s okay if you don’t actively cooperate. If at least we can get tacit consent to what she’s doing…

The man smiled and waved before leaving the bar, whether or not he knew what Jenny was thinking.

“See you again. It was nice to see you after a long time.”

“Yes, come visit often—”

He is kind and always keeps a smile on his face, but not many people read the other side of that smile.

There was a lot of talk about crouching down and waiting for the right moment even though you have the power to prove yourself.

He hadn’t moved for a long time so that such an evaluation would be colorless.

Could what she’s doing now ignite his fuse?

It was something you wouldn’t know unless you tried it.

“Antares.”

The leader of the Antares Mercenary Corps.

A former war mercenary who wandered the continent and rose to the top of the Balkan mercenary industry with just two fists.

An overwhelming force capable of being compared to the monsters of the city government with simple force alone.

A shadowy tycoon who stirs up the industry just by moving.

He is a unique character who is both defended and criticized for his ambiguous actions, but at least he is the person Jenny has the highest chance of making as an ally.

It wasn’t until the heavy momentum that weighed down the crowd disappeared that Jenny slumped down on the bar.

“Are you okay?”

At Jordan’s question, who was standing next to him, Jenny weakly asked Jangcho.

“…..I did everything I could. No matter what you say, he’s a guy who doesn’t move unless he judges for himself. I’ll figure it out on my own.”

“He was a man who didn’t react at all until the moment Kaise died. It would be impossible to fathom the depth of that heart.

“Trust my eyes.”

she answered.

In the hazy smoke, only Jenny’s eyes shone clearly.

“Because that man will surely see the same things he saw in the wizard Van.”
