Drug-Eating Genius Mage - Chapter 272

Proxy War (2)

“I am very curious about what kind of proxy the other side will put forward first. Isn’t it?”

“… … You are right.”

The six-year-old head of the household took Yvon’s words with a sneak peek.

“I am the representative chosen by the head of the Sagun family. I will tear anyone limb from limb without giving them even time to abstain.”

“I mean.”

Lee Bongaju said with a smile.

“Originally, I thought that an agent of the six spirits would fill that role.”

“… … .”

Yvon glared at the six-year-old householder, who had turned into a honey-drinking mute.

“If you can’t handle even the task of appointing a representative for the family and increase the number of jobs, let’s talk about it later after the lender is decided.”

It’s a shame because they put the lives of the head of the family in mortgage. If the work had been brought to this point with a simple alliance, the head of the family would not have even saved their lives.

At the same time as Yukryeong lowered his head, one side of the manor door opened and someone appeared.

thud!

The residents of the fortress who recognized the appearance let out an enthusiastic shout.

Aaaaaa!!!

A massive body covered in thick armor.

A bright red eye light leaked from between the helmets. Even a huge yam sword held in both hands.

Although it is an unusual warrior with a sharp prayer even at a glance, the cheers of the residents of the fortress do not fully send this warrior’s capabilities.

Sagunga who manages the criminals in Bagoong Fortress and manages their imprisonment and execution.

Among them, the man who is well-known as the executioner who executes those sentenced to death is the former head of Oryunga who was the most recent executioner.

Among the 8 heads of the fortress, cheers were sent to the executioner who personally punished the head of Oryunga, who lived in luxury and pleasure.

It was only natural that the residents of the fortress responded to this.

Sagungaju, who was looking down at the scene with a happy face, turned her gaze toward training.

“The man who cut off your father’s head is standing over there.”

“… … .”

“It was very sad. Cries for help and begs to replace family members… … He was an ugly guy. To the extent that I can’t imagine that a child like you would come out from under that filthy blood.”

Sagungaju licked her dry lips while looking at the beautiful water lily from the side.

“My son is just about to find a mate. If you have the eye to see the big picture… … .”

“Lord Sagun.”

Soo-ryun cut off his words with a cold face.

She looked up at Sagun’s face and smiled coldly.

“Are you here today to set up a matchmaker?”

“this… … !!”

“You should keep your mouth shut before the housekeeper hears the family down there.”

Sagungaju, who was trembling with a red face, opened his mouth before Oren, who was watching the scene from the side, laughed.

“Here comes too. The vanguard is my nephew.”

“… … What did you say?”

Hearing those words, Lee Bongaju belatedly turned her gaze toward the lower part of the manor.

Asui, a skinny young man, was walking weakly toward the middle of the manor with his head bowed.

“No, if it is the nephew of the family of Samyeong… … .”

“What is this, Samyoung Family?”

The other heads of households also looked down at them with surprised faces.

As the thick-built executioner dressed in armor and Asui, who seemed to have no strength, stood face-to-face, the residents of the fortress, who were watching them, fell silent.

The overwhelming difference in physique between the two made them imagine the scene behind them.

Amidst the solemn atmosphere of the manor, the moderator quietly raised a flag.

Yvon, who finally understood the situation, let out a laugh.

“I misunderstood the Samyeong household.”

“… … .”

“Even though he’s indifferent, I thought he cared about his own flesh and blood terribly.”

Yvon’s eyes were long and curved as he said that.

“I didn’t think I would throw it away as just a piece of entertainment.”

The shadow magician of the Samyeong family. Yvon knows who Asui is.

Although he possesses excellent magical skills, he has little to do with the talent or ability of a warrior.

To make such a sorcerer face off against a warrior of that weight in a place like this.

It’s a win, it’s nabal, and there’s no explanation other than that Asui has fallen out of favor with Oren.

To think that he would ruthlessly cast out his family’s blood relatives while making them a spectacle for the people around him.

Although he had a good image while taking charge of the outer defense of the fortress, was he essentially no different from her?

Yvon even felt a sense of sympathy for Oren.

But Oren smiled and replied.

“Asui also agreed. He will take care of himself and take care of himself.”

“This is nonsense.”

The soldier sitting next to him laughed at that.

“The time required to declare abstention is five minutes. It’s not a long time, but it won’t take long before you break through your nephew’s shadow spell.”

Asui was naturally afraid of fighting and never took the lead in the family.

Compared to his outstanding talent, he was known for his fear of battle to the extent of being strange, so other family heads were well aware of it.

“… … .”

Instead of answering those words, Oren slumped into his chair and waited for the right moment.

I gave up Asui as he said, but I never thought that I would put my nephew in the vanguard.

However, if he decided to use him as a chess piece from the beginning rather than putting him off as a captain until the end, he must have had a reason.

At the same time as Oren closed his eyes, the beginning of the proxy war rose, and

conversely, the pupils of the other seven widened as if tearing.

At the same time as the flag is lowered and the bell rings.

The shadows protruding from Asui’s body, which had been sealed, began to densely cover the manor.

* * *

[Crazy bastard… … .]

“Be quiet. I have to focus.”

[Crazy… … . this is crazy How the hell are you doing this?]

Lennok moved his hand cautiously, leaving behind Manson’s tired mechanical voice.

As the magician stuck between her fingers squirmed delicately, Asui’s hands with her head drooping moved incredibly quickly.

At the same time, the shadow that stretched out from under his feet spread a huge curtain in front of him in an instant and wrapped around the sword of the executioner.

Awesome profit… … !!

An unnatural friction sound, like tires skidding in the middle of the road.

Undaunted, the executioner pulled the sword away and immediately swung it at Asui’s back.

It is said to have been made to cut down horses, not humans.

It goes without saying how much power is contained in the blow taken down from its weight and height.

If Asui’s skinny body were caught even a little by the tip of that sword, his limbs would be torn apart like pieces of paper and bloodstained.

Whee-ae-ae-aeg!!!

“… … .”

However, Asui still didn’t even raise her head despite the pressure of the killing force that fell heavily in front of her eyes.

Without even checking who the person in front of him is, he signs his hand without stopping.

The shadows under my feet wriggled like living creatures and transformed into dozens of hands, tearing off the blows of the sword sword from all directions.

Kaga Gak!!

“Um… … !!”

Slowly but surely, sensing the change in direction and speed of the blade in his hand, the executioner’s mouth leaked

out for the first time.

Woooooo!!

The impact of a heavy iron mass falling in an oblique line.

However, in the aftermath, instead of the ground being smashed or shaking, the shadow crouching under Asui’s feet began to pull the yam sword as if waiting.

At that terrifying momentum, the executioner naturally pulled back and said

“… … !!”

After realizing what he had done, he trembled.

He had just tried to distance himself from a shadowcaster who was famous for never having been in a fight.

The audience seats went silent.

It was only natural that the silence approached the executioner with perfect sensitivity.

“dare… … !!”

With a heavy shout leaking through the helmet, the executioner stepped forward again.

And Lennok, who was watching from behind, also waved his fingers busily.

Realizing the truth of the situation much later, Chen stuttered and asked.

“I can’t stand it, half. You are now using Asui’s spell… … .?”

“It would have been impossible if we hadn’t looked at Oren’s shadow art in advance. I was lucky.”

Lennok replied nonchalantly.

“It’s a little stuttering, though.”

“You are crazy. Not the same human… … . How could a magician alone do this… … .”

Only then did Chen understand why Manson reacted the way he did, and let out a low sigh.

Lennok went beyond manipulating Asui’s now fainting body and indirectly manipulating Asui’s mana and spells to engage in battle.

Asui doesn’t have any combat experience, but in terms of skills, she is a shadow magician second only to Oren.

If he couldn’t go into battle to the point of fainting due to fear, wouldn’t it be possible for Lenok to directly manipulate his body and his spells to engage in battle?

There was no need to defeat Asui here.

The important thing is to buy the 5 minutes needed to give up and to spread Asui’s shadow around the manor in advance for the plan discussed with Oren in advance.

Considering Asui’s innate temperament, Lennok was manipulating Asui’s magical powers and spells in order to achieve two goals.

“Because I knew it wasn’t impossible. Implementation is not difficult if you are aware of it.”

More than a hundred magicians binding Asui’s body.

A part of it is inserted into his body to indirectly manipulate the flow of magical power.

Observing some of the imagery that comes out with such flowing mana as power. He understands the structure and principle of the learned and inscribed spells, and starts implementing them on the spot.

A remote control that allows a single human to operate as a magician.

It’s a reckless and preposterous attempt unimaginable to a normal wizard, but Lennok already had an answer to that question.

Seeing for yourself how Agneta, the messenger of Pandaemonium, reached out to the human spirit.

I saw potential in the scene of walking on a tightrope in the gap of space.

It endlessly expands the limits of manipulation-type magic that was unconsciously estimated in the head.

paper weave… … !

The current flowing through the magician directly penetrates Asui’s body, softening the magical flow and accelerating the magician’s movements.

‘The problem is not the implementation of the formula, but its application. It’s definitely not easy this way.’

Beads of sweat dripped down Lennox’s frowning face.

Asui, who has lived his entire life away from combat, has only slightly better reflexes and motor skills than Lennok.

I thought it would be better to give up body manipulation halfway and invest all my abilities in magic manipulation rather than manipulating my body to avoid the executioner’s attacks.

It was unavoidable that there was a certain amount of delay in the shadow manipulation technique.

Inducing and manipulating the unconscious Asui’s mana to flow naturally, assembling and realizing the magic within his body is definitely Asui’s ability.

No matter how fast Lennok sent the signal, it was impossible to shorten the time the spell was completed in Asui’s body.

All Lennok could do was patternize and calculate the delay immediately after sending the control command, and input the control in advance.

In fact, it was impossible without reading all the judgments of the executioner and predicting his next move, but as a result, he had somehow succeeded so far.

‘In addition, determining how far the expedient will work is also an important issue.’

A bracelet made of eight chains.

Although it seemed like a simple ceremony, and the arbitrator didn’t say much, Lennok guessed that this proxy war was a ritual close to witchcraft.

It is not simply a transfer of the creditor’s authority over the superiority and inferiority of the agents for the cause.

Now, the act of deciding whether to win or lose through this war itself has a shamanistic meaning.

It is probably because the barrier surrounding the historic site accepts the ‘authority of the creditor’ as an explicit concept.

Closed citadel society. A ceremony like solitude in which a proxy is designated and the nomination right is handed over to the one who wins until the end.

It would be impossible to even guess this far if we did not recognize the existence of the ruins where time and space flow slowly and the barriers that protect them.

How far can you walk a tightrope between the gigantic rituals to maintain the barriers of the fort?

It is enough to find out the upper limit through Asui right here and now.

“Let’s try a little more.”

At the same time as Lennok muttered, the magician’s movements became more complicated.

Right after that, the shadows that rose under Asui’s feet split into dozens of parts and began to rush at the executioner all at once.

Fudduk!!

The spectators as well as the homeowners faintly opened their mouths at the fragments of shadows that filled the manor’s stage like fluttering crow’s feathers and fluttered in all directions.

“It was like this?!”

“I didn’t even have to fight for this!”

A feast of feathers filled the executioner’s everywhere in an instant at a slow but not slow pace.

Manipulating the fragments of the split and blown shadows one by one in an unpredictable direction, he occupies the space in an instant and blocks the retreat.

There must be less than five people here who can measure the predictions and intuition contained in this one move.

Patter!!

“Ugh… … .” The moment when

the fragments of the shadow that fluttered in the air became elongated and turned into sharp spears, and the

executioner let out a low sigh as he intuited defeat.

Fall out!!

The bracelet on Asui’s right hand shattered and fell to the ground.

The sound of the chain breaking reverberated throughout the manor.

The referee, who was holding a flag outside the manor, raised a microphone and declared loudly.

[Samyoung’s disqualification. army’s victory. Please allow the next agent to come forward!]

“… … .”

“Samyoung… … Is it lost?”

“A disqualification?”

An ending that could be called futile. However, most of the spectators had some idea of the meaning of the win or loss.

agent of the army. The best warrior in the family who has raised the stock price by executing countless criminals.

He was driven to the brink of defeat against a shadow magician who had never fought a fight like a fight before.

If Asui hadn’t broken the bracelet, it was obvious who would have been lying on the ground, unable to even give up.

As a result of overturning expectations from the start of the proxy war, the atmosphere in the special seats cooled down.

“… … The Executioner seems to have forgotten his duty while beheading criminals.”

Lee Bongaju’s voice trembled as she said that.

“Or did he become compassionate enough to save at least one young magician while he didn’t see it?”

“… … “I have no face.”

Sagungaju bowed her head.

There was no composure like before on his pale face.

“The next battle will definitely bring good results.”

After confirming Chen’s appearance, he desperately tried to convince Yvonne.

The opponent is a swordsman who defeated Paldun’s agent and obtained the qualifications of an agent.

Rumor has it that they are Oryungaju’s half siblings.

After winning against that guy and beheading him, it is only natural that Su-ryun’s mind and body collapse.

All he had to do was ask for forgiveness from the head of the family, taking that appearance as an excuse.

There is nothing good outside the eyes of the head of the head of the castle, who is at the center of the internal order reorganization of the fortress.

While the other heads of households were also shaking their heads with the idea of sharing the rights under her,

Oren quietly looked down at the manor.

“… … .”

It may not be visible to other people, but he, a fellow shadow magician, can tell.

Asui didn’t just destroy himself by forcefully attacking the executioner.

Rather, he was concentrating on planting fragments of his shadow throughout the manor throughout the proxy war.

Even now, when the bright sunlight has risen above the manor sky, shadows that do not match the angle of reflection are still remaining in the manor and possess magical power.

As if we could move anytime while waiting for the right time.

It was precisely for this arrangement that Lennok took the risk and chose Asui as Samyoung’s agent, putting him at the forefront of the proxy war.

Judging from how things are going, even Asui’s self-destruction is probably just a process designed by Lennok.

Since the purpose was achieved, it was judged that there was no reason to keep a magician without combat ability for a long time.

“A nasty bastard… … .”

Her self-talk came out without her knowledge. But even as Oren said that, she felt her lips twitch.

Was he thinking this far when he said he needed a shadow magician as an agent?

Because I didn’t expect that the game-changing process that Lennok was talking about would happen in this way.

Oren couldn’t hide his joy, not knowing that even at this age, he would find a talent that exceeded his expectations and expectations.

I know that a loach is muddying the water.

And the fact that he was playing in the water next to him instead of just watching it.

How long would it take for the other family heads to notice that fact?

Oren is old enough to enjoy even that brief wait.

“… … .”

Only Lee Bongaju was watching him closely as he slowly closed his eyes.
