Drug-Eating Genius Mage - Chapter 275
Light and Shadow (1)
Among the heads of the 8 families, there is no one who has not heard rumors about Ban.
A wizard who has rapidly raised his reputation by choosing only difficult and tricky nominations to succeed.
Despite being a high-ranking magician with tremendous talent, it was said that his military power was so great that it had to be compared to that of warriors.
Cartel’s outside director.
The fact that he is continuing his activities as a freelancer even after taking on the big job of being an external advisor to an agent proves Ban’s ability more than anything else.
But even so, not many people fully understood what had happened.
Plato’s mercenary office is one of the best in the shadows of a megalopolis.
The mercenary, who survived the rough streets and went through all the battles, was defeated without being able to compete even once against the sorcerer, who was vulnerable to close combat.
In the process, if the bracelet on Ban’s right wrist hadn’t set off an alarm, wouldn’t it mean that he used only military rank-level magic to suppress Adam?
I thought it would be an outstanding skill, but that was a story of conclusion.
In the process, if he showed such an overwhelming appearance, the head of the family could not help but be shaken.
The voices of the heads of households who looked down at the mercenary Adam Brobeck, who was carried away fainting, began to grow little by little.
“Are you really a wizard?”
“Courage is no joke. Even though I knew the attack was coming, I put that kind of magic at close range.”
“It must mean that you have the confidence to perfectly control the magic stiffness and power… … . In fact, the bracelet was unharmed. Because I didn’t know that, that mercenary also suffered the same way.”
Aside from the fact that everyone in this seat looks at Yvon, the heads of the 8 families are each excellent warriors.
Among the Three Heads of the megalopolis, the fort’s head of the fort, which had an overwhelming position in terms of hand-to-hand combat, could not fail to recognize the true value of the battle that had just taken place.
“A guru who should have been victorious in close combat became incapacitated by just one spell.”
“The power is also powerful, but the speed of the chanting is also eye-catching. A physical attack similar to that of the ice barrier system was realized in an instant.”
“With the handicap of proxy war, at this level… … .”
Yvon, noticing that the faces of the head of the household changed seriously, opened his mouth.
“Let’s start the next ritual right away. Now it is my agent’s turn.”
“If it is the representative of the head of the family… … .”
“yes.”
Yvon smiled as he looked back at the other head of households whose expressions had changed to disquiet.
“He is a very unique friend among my children. It will not end easily.”
After those words were finished, a frighteningly pale man walked up to the stage of the manor.
A vaguely curved back. Sharp eyes looking everywhere.
As if he was not accustomed to the sunlight pouring down on this manor, he seemed to be a person who had never had a relationship with Yangji in his entire life.
He stared at Lennox’s face and awkwardly touched his own.
“Right… … . Has the proxy war begun? I guess I was called out by the head of the household.”
“… … .”
He blankly cast his gaze toward the sky and muttered softly.
“Are you going to serve him without dying after you fail your mission? That is a fitting ending for a member of this family.”
The look that belatedly realizes where he is standing now.
Lennok stared at the bracelet on his wrist instead of trying to understand what he was saying.
One light entered the opponent’s bracelet. The lights of the bracelet bestowed on Lennok are six.
Five agents lost their qualifications while exchanging wins and losses and abstentions in the proxy war.
Now, if you fill the two chains with more lights, Lennok will be officially granted the right to decide the owner of this citadel.
It means that it is not a formal ceremony, but directly controls the management authority of the fortress, which exists as a barrier.
As long as the situation has reached this point, Yvonne’s family will unconditionally defeat Lennok or try to obviate the outcome of this proxy war in some other way.
Lennok was waiting for that moment, not the victory of the proxy war.
“Let’s begin.”
It’s time!!
As soon as the bell rang, the man quickly signed his hand.
Shortly thereafter, several unknown objects began to rise rapidly from under the earthen floor of the manor.
I have no intention of giving my opponent time to prepare for the ceremony.
If Yvonne’s agent is not the person he was thinking of, then the next person must be the person Lennok has been waiting for.
Gets done quickly and gets the job done.
Right after that, a faint flash flashed through the dry sky, and a thick line of lightning struck the fist of ice standing next to Lennok.
Pajijijik!!!
Kwaaaang!!
The impact shattered hundreds of pieces of thick ice, scattering intense flashes of sunlight all over the manor.
“Ugh!!”
“I can not see!!”
For a moment, even Yvon’s agent closed his eyes to avoid the flash.
A chilling storm raged as all the ice crystals surrounding the agent exploded.
Doo doo doo!!!
Lennok watched his opponent’s reaction with his hands tucked into his coat.
A battle between agents. It is in the format of a match, but it is only because of the ceremony to inherit the authority of the creditor.
That is why the arbiters of this proxy war have no intention of clearing the manor or cleaning the stage after the battle is over.
A consciousness like loneliness that continues until the last agent remains.
Because it was taboo to interfere in the process.
“… … .”
But Lennok couldn’t help but frown when he saw his opponent walk through the cold storm.
It was because the appearance of the agent, who had been one even when they first signed the hand sign, had already been divided into six people.
“Oh oh!! Is it self-immolation!!”
“Looks like they’ve prepared a lot for you too!!”
“Now it’s getting a little fun!”
The appearance of the agent increased in an instant, and the audience changed into an uproar.
However, Lennok looked at the agent blankly and shook his head.
“It’s a clone technique… … . At least it’s a much more bizarre and alien technology than that.”
“… … .”
“Is it necromancy that captures the consciousness of the living and bestows it on a forcibly created body?”
The others seemed preoccupied with the cold storm and didn’t notice it, but Lennok was clearly aware.
In an instant, different spirits dwelled in the five wooden sticks that the man pulled up from the bottom of the manor and changed their appearance to look exactly like the man.
A bizarre method of forcibly hammering human memories and behavioral principles into inanimate objects to activate them.
On top of that, everyone is at level 6, realizing the change in the nature of magical power.
Considering that the efficiency is surprisingly high compared to the process of the magic formula, there is a high possibility that it is a technology of the church that raises efficiency at the cost of life.
There was a possibility that it was a human sacrifice in a way that the soul that had been decreed like that was used and thrown away.
“Six to one… … Was it like this from the beginning?”
Lennok murmured as he fidgeted with the bracelet he was wearing on his wrist.
Interfering with Lennok, the Aspect Wizard, from showing his true ability, and pressing down with the number of people at the level of the same rank.
It’s a pretty simple and obvious trick, but there’s no denying that it’s effective.
The man standing up from the far left sighed and said.
“For the safety of the citadel, I won’t mind using witchcraft.”
“… … .”
“Dealing with outsiders and establishing family order must be my mission for not being able to do my best for the family!”
PABABABABAAT!!
With those words, the six new members dispersed like fog and quickly settled down at the edge of the manor stage.
One wizard crossed at the end of six different lines of sight.
Six people with the same face took out countless amounts of memorized words from their arms as if they had promised.
Daggers and shurikens engraved on the surface, as well as countless stacks of homemade bombs, fell like bombs toward the center of the manor.
Doo doo doo doo!!!
It’s not just about throwing explosives.
The memorization thrown by the talented people of Yvonne, who have learned various stealth and secret techniques while hiding under the water of the citadel, was shot at the same speed as bullets, putting pressure on all sides.
At the same time, magic letters glowed on the surface of the memorized words that had slipped out of their hands.
Beopbeopbeopbeobung!!
It caused a huge explosion that filled the manor stage.
“Whoaaaagh!”
“W The heat… … !!”
An explosion so strong that the residents of the fortress, who were sitting near the manor stage, were frightened.
The fire was so hot that it was impossible to see inside the stage.
Heads of households and subordinate attendants. Even in this chaos, only those with the skills and discernment to see through the heat opened their eyes wide.
It doesn’t stop there, and the six agents make hand signs at once and print magic power.
Woooooo!!
A gigantic six-pointed star drawn on the floor of the manor as the six magical powers cross each other in an instant.
Innumerable symbols and letters packed inside it radiated light and rotated to erase just one person.
Jibon family’s unique technique.
[Yukhapgongmyeong]
[Goesan]
Coo-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu!!!
The huge rhizomes extending from the lower part of the manor entwined Lennok’s model and crushed it.
True to its name, the destruction spells used to bring down mountains and establish the foundations of dwellings poured down to destroy only one person.
A situation in which the initiative of the offensive was thoroughly taken away. At this rate, there’s not much I can do except to endure the feast of explosions that are helplessly crushing me.
How long can you endure without being disqualified in a situation where the use of castle-level magical power is restricted?
Watching the scene from behind the stage, Chen’s expression naturally turned serious.
“It may take longer than you think. I need to prepare a plan in advance.”
[What kind of bullshit?]
Chen responded immediately to Manson’s reply.
“Ban prefers to design the board with a very macroscopic eye in combat. But that’s only possible if you don’t lose the initiative in the offensive.”
It might be difficult to guess Manson, who was merely a casual partner with Lennok, but Chen, who had been manipulated several times, knew what type of fighting Lennok preferred.
“Thanks to the start of the battle, I was pushed back from the total amount of attack and defense throughout the battle. If it were the class I knew, I would wipe out the surroundings with large-scale magic and reorganize the game… … .”
[The audience must be the problem.]
“Yes. Actually, a bracelet like this shouldn’t be a big deal to Lennok. He wouldn’t be a person so lax that the limitations of the realm would hold back his ankles. but… … .”
Can they bring out magic that can withstand the heat wave that fills the manor without harming the residents of the fortress who are watching this proxy war?
If the power is not thoroughly controlled, there is a possibility that it will be a counterattack that is worse than none.
However, despite Chen’s words, Manson sighed and slapped him on the back of the head.
[I was wondering what you were worried about, and you were wondering if Ban would lose while worrying about the people around him? I’m dumbfounded.]
“Ugh… … . I think it’s enough trouble.”
Ban is very rational, quick-witted, and possesses judgment and determination at the same time.
Chen knew that he was not really a person without blood or tears, unlike those with cool intelligence.
He is not a heartless person who does not hesitate to do what he wants and throws people into chess pieces unnecessarily.
In this situation, if you err in judgment even for a moment, it is highly likely that you will continue to give up the initiative.
“If you make even the slightest mistake, it’s over. If the right to borrow money is passed on to the other side, we might be the first to make a fuss.”
[A guy who runs a business has a really messed up eye for people.]
Manson replied with a grim smile.
[If it’s enough to hesitate because of that kind of worry, there’s no way Van could have survived until now.] The
inorganic light of the eyes slowly looks up at the center of the soaring root stump.
[There are a lot of people who revere that wizard because he doesn’t create a living environment to worry about.] At the same
time as he said that, dozens of cracks began to appear in the center of the crushing root.
Kagagakak!!
With a terrifying cutting sound, all the thick tree roots were cut off, and Lennok walked out of it with a normal complexion.
Lennok, staring down at the six deputies who looked up at him with a bewildered expression, suddenly threw the tobacco he was holding in his mouth at his feet.
At that moment, the dozens of rhizomes Lennok was standing on began to burn splendidly as if they were oiled firewood.
Roaring!!
The heads of the households opened their eyes to the magnificent campfire that suddenly lit up in the middle of the manor.
“Ignite Yvon’s Root Ceremony!!”
“It’s a nonsensical flame magic… … !!”
“No wait, that’s… … .”
You are not burning the whole rhizome.
The fire that was carried along the hundreds of magic threads entangled between the roots of the tree entwined the rootstock and burned.
There were so many magicians that there was no way to know when they were installed.
Realizing that part of the tip was tied to their ankles, the agent’s mouth opened slightly.
“… … !”
The fire that followed the magician tied to his ankle began to burn the agent’s body in an instant.
Those who silently poured out the offensive without saying a word lost their pulse and went mad at the flames that Lenok followed the magician.
“Gaaaaaagh!!”
“Aaaaa!!”
Six deputies screaming in pain and twisting their bodies.
Lennok’s sorcerer, who had been attached to the body at some unknown time, was clinging to it, constantly pouring unquenchable flames into the body.
The traces of the explosion completely disappeared, leaving only chunks of meat that had turned their bodies into fire.
He asked with quivering lips.
“Please don’t… … from the beginning… … .”
“It ended when I allowed the first attack to deceive the audience.”
Lennok took a new cigarette out of his bosom, put it to the end of the blazing fire and lit it.
“Aren’t you mistaking the person you should care about?”
In order to hide the moment he used the cult’s spell, he allowed Lennok to burst into a cold storm, but Lennok had already succeeded in attaching magicians to all agents at that moment.
horsepower limitation. initiative of the offensive. limited battlefield. Spectators watching the battle.
Even before the options were limited by such miscellaneous worries, Lennok had already preempted the crossroads of the game.
All that remains is to wait for the end point of the offensive prepared by them in moderation and stab in the gap that they did not even notice.
Bubbubuck!!
Six piles of ice appeared from the air and pierced the burning meat in an instant.
“Billion… … !!”
Yvonne’s agents lost their breath in an instant without even having time to react, and returned to the wooden block they had raised up.
Even the body of the agent who signed the hand for the first time is slowly crushed and turned into ashes and disappears.
Looking down at the dispersing body, he murmured softly.
“My lord… … .”
oh oh oh oh oh!!
The spectators who watched the scene erupted in fervent cheers towards Lennok.
An outsider who is not from the Citadel. The status of a wizard with a heterogeneous outfit is not important.
Lennok’s sophisticated response in the raging storm of flames contained a skill that excites the viewer regardless of how long the battle lasted.
“Did you say you were the representative of the Five Rings?”
“I thought they were completely rotten, but you got a decent agent.”
“Anyway, these are the guys under Elder Samyeong. It would be rather good if he became the creditor.”
A bad image of the Five Rings. He throws away his origin as an outsider in the name of Oren.
On the contrary, the number of words of the heads of households, who had been able to afford it until just a while ago, had drastically decreased.
“… … .”
A chilly atmosphere. Lee Bongaju’s face hardened coldly.
“I heard that you are a high-level lightning wizard… … Are you saying that the magic you just showed me isn’t your main skill?”
“For something like that, the lineages shown were so diverse. Considering that magic power is limited, there is a possibility that it borrowed external power.”
The bracelet that proves the qualifications of the agents is a very delicate item.
It wouldn’t be strange if he used magic power randomly like Lennok was using, and it would be destroyed in an instant and he would be disqualified.
It was clear that the other side had used some kind of trick like Yvon.
“Even if it was, the speed at which I used my hands was too fast. If you’ve come this far while saving your strength for the great battle… … .”
Indeed, the possibility of Yvon’s defeat could not be ignored.
The heads of households coughed out uncomfortable coughs in unison, but no one in this room could understand what they were saying.
It was only then that the eyes of the heads of households attached to Yvonne began to turn towards the other side.
He turned to Oren, the head of the family of Samyeong, who had been keeping his mouth shut with his arms folded.
On the contrary, the shoulders of the family head of Paldun, who unwillingly joined Samyeong, were soaring up without knowing how high the sky was.
“Ilwongaju.”
Yvon, who had been silent, opened his mouth.
“yes.”
“The agent of the family is the last. It will be ready.”
At that moment, Tae-oh’s expression shook violently, but he quickly made up his mind and nodded.
“… … yes.”
“great.”
A stage completely burnt and devastated.
A man in a thick robe was walking out in front of Lennok, who had his back against the stumps of the fallen tree roots.
“Nice to meet you.”
Those were the first words that Rob, who had come up in front of Lennok, uttered.
Lennok stared at him instead of replying to the person who tried to talk casually.
There was no reason to say goodbye. From the beginning, the only agent Lennok had been waiting for was the one in front of him.
Wasn’t this all planned to get this man out?
Rob continued, completely oblivious to Lennok’s thoughts.
“I heard the story. They say you’re a very famous freelancer outside of it, right?”
“… … .”
“Ah, my introduction is late.”
Raise your hand and slowly remove the robe.
A mature man of an older age. Bright blond hair that does not match his face.
A strange smile on the corner of his mouth and pale skin.
Lennok paid close attention to the traces on the lower part of his neck, which looked as if blood vessels had condensed.
Its appearance resembled the stereotypical appearance of a missionary who had dug into the image of a missionary in reverse and faced it before.
“My name is Walter Walter Martinez.”
