Drug-Eating Genius Mage - Chapter 385
New Project (4)
Unlike the magic that Lennok had freely used so far, barrier art is a technique whose limitations and conditions are quite clear.
Not only does it take time to cast the spell, but it is difficult for the caster to change the range of effect at will.
It is because the act of specifying an area and building up new rules is a law that requires a price.
‘But that’s why there are things that only barrier art can do.’
Since it is a barrier technique bound by limits and rules from the source, it has an advantage that no other law can catch up with within the area where the technique is applied.
The work of barrier art, which defines and divides the realm and partially implements it, cannot be used only in reality.
Didn’t Jindun, who faced Lennok at that time, also casually split his consciousness and brought Lennok into it?
If it is possible to build a barrier to one’s image or consciousness, there is only one thing to do.
Lennok, who had inherited Jindun’s barrier art, which defined concepts in a specific and separate way, as it was.
He had been trying to fragment his image itself and partially realize it.
Wheein!!
The moment when I grabbed the concentric circles that appeared on the chests of staggering superhumans.
Shattered like glass, the shattered shards are stuck in the bodies of superhumans and begin to float unknown thoughts in their heads.
“Huh… … !!”
Even with both eyes open, information is constantly pouring into my head.
A ring of golden light emerges from the vast void of unknown end, illuminating the dark universe.
Woo woo woo!!
It is not a complete image of Lennok that comes to the minds of the different superhumans.
A golden ring so huge that it was impossible to guess its size in the dark void.
Lenok had split his kaleidoscope in parts and had been striking the images of the scene into the minds of superhumans.
By combining the visual sharing ability of the magic eye and the partial realization of the image of the shielding technique, it completely shove the information into the opponent’s head.
The superhumans were screaming in agony without coming to their senses just by partially taking out and showing the images without directly projecting them into reality.
“no… … Head… … .”
“Ah ah… … !! what the hell is this… … .!”
Together with him, behind Lennoc’s back, a vast halo of golden light spun clockwise.
The moment the huge circle behind them was completed, the waves that inflated their size grabbed each superman and threw their heads to the ground.
Woooooo!!
From the moment they started drawing concentric circles, they struggled and fainted.
Lennok, who looked down at the miserable figure breathing hard with his eyes closed, touched his chin and murmured.
“Was it too much… … It works so much better than I thought.”
I just hit the partially fragmented image in my head using the shielding technique to the mystic eye’s vision sharing and information overdose ability, but it wouldn’t be strange if I dragged it on for a little while and
turned the brains of all the people who fell here into mush.
Because of the idea of injecting excessive information into several people in a short period of time to subdue them, even though they dragged and projected some of Lennok’s images, they couldn’t hold on even for a moment.
Considering that even Lennok himself is desperately trying to control his own domain, it is natural.
You probably don’t even remember what you saw.
Lennok, who had gathered the fallen and roughly tied their limbs with magicians, turned his head toward Yerien, who was standing behind him with his mouth wide open.
“Can you look around and help?”
“… … yes yes?”
“I want to leave it to the boss to interrogate these guys and find out who is behind them. I wish I could call someone.”
It was only then that Jerien, realizing what Lennok was saying, hurriedly nodded.
“I see!”
* * *
Yerien called his entourage, whom he had sent to the headquarters, and immediately began transporting those captured by Lennok to the basement of the headquarters.
As soon as I contacted Virgil and the other presidents about what just happened, they immediately got a response from the head office.
Yerien, who received the message to serve her as politely as possible, stole a sweat with a slightly nervous expression.
“Nice bar. Mr. Van. I am Yerien Checkfield, who took office as a registered director this quarter.”
As soon as she saw Lennok approaching, she bowed her head.
“Thank you for your help.”
“Can you sort that out?”
When Lennok pointed out the horrors of the streets he had created, Jerien immediately nodded.
“of course. Of course, the head office will restore it within today.”
The three-way road, which had been paved with asphalt due to the projection of lightning magic poured out by Lennok, was so messed up that the original form could not be found, but that much was not a big problem in this city where magic and magic were alive and breathing.
Using the cartel’s capital and personal connections, it was possible to restore it completely in less than half a day.
“good. Then go to headquarters. Are you going to attend the regular meeting too?”
“Ah yes. Even if you don’t, I received an order to personally accompany you. Let’s go together.”
Lennok glanced down at Yerien, then turned his gaze around the street again.
“I don’t know if I will have to catch a taxi again. Where is the nearest stop from here?”
“My car is in the parking lot nearby. If you don’t mind, I’ll take care of you!”
Lennok immediately nodded.
“good. egg plant.”
Yerien immediately led Lennok to his car.
Naturally, she was about to open the back seat door to Lennok, but when she checked the litter on the floor, she closed the door furiously.
bang!!
“… … Why?”
“no. it’s nothing. If you don’t mind, maybe you could ride in the passenger seat… … .”
Even if they have the same directorship, their status within the cartel is like the difference between heaven and earth.
The opponent is a nobleman who single-handedly killed the former president, Parden McQueen, and was inaugurated as a director in recognition of his contribution.
Rumors that he had declined the position of president were almost certain to circulate, so Yerien was very polite and devoted herself to guiding Lennok.
Lennox tilted his head slightly and smiled.
This is because the horsepower detection gave a clear view of what the inside of the car was like.
Yerien also kept her head down, as if there was no way she didn’t know that.
“Does not matter. Let’s leave quickly.”
Exit Area 42 and head to the area where the head office is located.
Even though the road was wide open, probably because Lennok was riding, Yerien focused on safe driving.
Instead of urging her on, Lennok looked out the window and thought.
It was because Jindun’s barrier technique, which he had just used in the process of subduing the unidentified superhumans, was much more effective than he thought.
‘Jin Dun’s barrier technique. I thought it would be helpful for the partial realization of the magnetic field, but it exceeded my expectations.’
At the time when he had just come out of the cradle after finishing his conversation with Jindun, hadn’t Lennok dealt with three superhumans at the same time with his momentarily amplified magical power?
At that time, Lennok did not forget that the golden halo floating behind Lennok’s back was a trace of a part of his image partially projected into reality.
If the concept itself of forming a barrier can be applied to Lennok’s own image and separated, it will be possible to bring out a part of the magnetic realm that was only possible to fully unfold into reality.
Right now, it was only about hitting the image in combination with the ability of the demonic eye, but with enough magic power and trial and error, it was confirmed that it was not impossible.
While Lennok was lost in thought about how to use the shielding technique from now on, Yerien, who was behind the wheel, glanced at Lennok and opened his mouth.
“From what I’ve heard, I know that you have a special position within the company… … .”
“is it?”
Despite Lennok’s plaintive reply, Yerien did not give in and spoke again.
“yes. I heard that even after taking office as a director, he has not been involved in company affairs.”
“… … .”
“You helped me earlier, and I wonder if you intend to participate in the work of the cartel… … . May I know?”
It was obviously a manly question to ask while holding the steering wheel, but Yerien made up her mind.
The sorceress sitting next to her now is a being that is especially treated among the mysteries that exist in the shadows of this city.
What do you think of the wizard who has risen to the present position by surviving against the chairman of the cartel and all sorts of giants and exposing secrets?
Could this man, who killed countless monsters with only his skills and no background or personal connections and became an outside director, have decided to follow the will of the cartel?
“I heard that you are still working as a freelancer. If our president has put in a separate nomination request… … .”
Lennok, who hadn’t responded before, laughed for the first time.
“For a board member of the cartel, the information is scant. It’s been quite a while since I didn’t receive a request.”
“Is that so… … ?”
Yerien broke out in a cold sweat at the thought of making a mistake.
Lennok shook his head as he watched her continue to lift the glasses that slipped from the bridge of his nose.
Except for a time when he was focused on building a reputation, what Lennock has done is the result of acting in his own interests.
In the process, it has only taken the form of receiving a nominal request in order to receive a certain amount of compensation.
Although he still held up the title of freelancer, Lennok had no intention of accepting requests from others unless he was truly offering space-time artifacts or spells.
“But you are not wrong. First of all, it’s true that the president has business to see. I am willing to help the cartel work if necessary.”
“I’m sorry… … .yes?”
Yerien, who shrugged her shoulders and lowered her head, turned her gaze to Lennok in surprise.
Lennok reached out and pointed at the windshield.
“I have to look ahead.”
Kiki profit!!
“Kyaaaagh!!”
Yerien, who narrowly avoided the truck that appeared in front of him with a pale face, gasped and asked.
“Ba Van intends to help us… … ?”
“Isn’t that surprising? First of all, he is nominally serving as an outside director of that company.”
“But what the director has done so far… … .”
Wasn’t it all about destroying the cartel’s subsidiaries and killing the first president, Parden McQueen?
The answer that he didn’t know whether those things helped the cartel as a result came up to Jerien’s throat and then disappeared.
Lennok noticed what Yerien wanted to say and smiled faintly.
There is no favor without a price on this floor.
It would be easier for the cartel’s bosses and chairman to clearly present what Lennok wants.
It was unclear whether she would give Lennok everything he wanted, but it must have been enough to send her to the negotiating table.
* * *
After that, Lennok took Yerien’s car and headed for the cartel’s headquarters.
It is by far the most magnificent and tallest building area in the downtown area on the dark side.
Among them, head to the central headquarters built in the most splendid and magnificent size.
Despite the broad daylight, hundreds of people were busy walking around outside the company, each focusing on the phone.
The businesslike atmosphere makes it hard to believe that he is a tycoon from the dark side and a member of the Three Heads.
The head office of the cartel, which has grown so far in the form of a corporate alliance, has the scale and capital that are comparable to other dinosaur companies.
Yerien immediately started moving with Lennok looking around.
“yes. I am taking it and moving it now. Start preparing for the meeting as soon as possible… … .”
The way she walked, holding onto her phone with one hand and writing nonstop in her notebook with the other, seemed like a feat that even Lennok saw as strange.
“yes yes. All right. First of all, check the manual, and as soon as the instructions come down on the way… … Oh, did the report reach you already? All right.”
After hanging up the phone, Yerien immediately looked back at Lennok and said,
“Director. Now, a report on the situation before and after has been uploaded to the boss. Since you asked to see me immediately, I will guide you to the president’s office right away.”
“You seem pretty used to things like this.”
Yerien laughed with an embarrassed expression.
“I worked in the secretariat for quite some time. I didn’t expect to do something similar after becoming a registered director, but… … Ahaha.”
Lennok immediately followed her to the president’s office on the top floor of the headquarters.
The president’s office is vast and uses an entire floor.
In the middle of a room where expensive furniture and artworks are displayed all over the place.
As soon as he saw Lennok, Virgil, who was sitting on a long row of sofas all around him, got up from his seat and approached him.
“half. A long time. Thank you for coming here.”
Seeing Virgil’s willing hand, Lennok also laughed.
“I have a nice room. Is it okay for a vampire to use such a sunny place?”
“I don’t know where you heard that strange sound, but we believe in such strange superstitions… … .”
A red-eyed man with strong muscles. Virgil, who had been inaugurated as the first boss of the cartel, hesitated as he approached Lennok.
A look of amazement mingled on Virgil’s face as he paused and looked at Lennok.
“… … .I really can’t believe it. Did you find a way to the top in the meantime?”
“… … .”
“It feels like it’s going to explode at any moment. It can’t feel like this unless you’re balancing on a crossroads.”
“You must have lived a long time too. I didn’t know you would find out.”
Lennok shook his head instead of saying anything.
Virgil sighed in amazement as if convinced by Lennox’s reaction.
“I understand that you are on the verge of leaving the hierarchy. I’m not crazy. Walking around the city casually in this state… … .”
Certainly, Virgil, unlike the others, seemed to have some idea of where Lennok’s achievements had reached.
It must be because this vampire, who serves as the first president of the cartel, has reached the 7th level, as well as assisting the president, Oliveira Ron Maze, and is familiar with the highest level.
Virgil sat Lennok down and brought him something to drink.
Virgil muttered as he looked back at Lennox, as if his surprise had not gone away.
“I really can’t believe it. He looks like a completely different person than he was when he killed McQueen. I still can’t believe you are the same person you were back then.”
“How long are you going to talk about that?”
Virgil did not stop at Lennox’s sullen reply.
“Are new monsters being born… … . In order to prepare for the moment when the balance of power collapses, it would be desirable to eventually come to the fore… … .”
“Vergil.”
Paang!!
As he tapped the table lightly to activate his magic, Virgil finally turned to Lennok.
Lennok said, looking at Virgil’s eyes, which had turned bright red.
“Thank you for clearing your schedule and scheduling a meeting, but I didn’t come here to discuss this matter with you. I’m here to make a deal.”
“… … .”
“I want to meet Oliviera Ron Maze. I’d like to make an appointment. Could you put me in touch?”
“… … The regular meeting was canceled the moment the attack on the board of directors was confirmed. I don’t think you need to worry about that part.”
“How long do I have to wait?”
“It has been over ten years since the president has not attended a meeting. I will probably have to contact you separately.”
Virgil, instead of answering that question right away, slightly changed the subject.
“More than that, Merilda succeeded in interrogating those you captured alive and digging up information.”
“already? Work is faster than I thought.”
Did you mean that while Yerien was taking Lennok to the headquarters, he opened the mouths of the people he had already captured?
3rd boss, Merylda. As far as Lennok knows, he was originally from a long-lived species close to a giant beast, not a human.
Even though he is not human, if he is able to handle the task of interrogating humans, he must not be quite confident in his skills.
Virgil looked closely at Lennox’s face and opened his mouth.
“I don’t know what they did, but they said it was easy because they couldn’t come to their senses. As a result of cross-checking with the disclosed personal information, they said it was most likely a member of the special forces unit belonging to Achilles’ Armed Response Department.”
“… … Achilles?”
Lennok is not unheard of.
A military company that never falls out when mentioning the dinosaur company that reigns in the sunny side of this megalopolis of Balkans.
Isn’t it a good sword that produces and manages security devices and military equipment using AI, and sometimes even acts as a PMC (private military company)?
“And it’s also the biggest competitor of the now precarious Dyke Corporation.”
Woooo!!
Almost as soon as Virgil finishes talking, the phone starts to vibrate in Lennok’s arms.
[Dike Management Planning Team. Panoa Bellucci]
Panoa’s response that I haven’t been able to reach all day.
Virgil looked down at Lennok’s phone and smiled.
“It seems clear that there is an agenda that needs to be dealt with right away, apart from letting you see the president.
Virgil, who was still looking out the window where the bright sunlight was pouring in, began to stain his eyes with an eerie bloody color.
“I think she will be able to testify more accurately than anyone about the vicious rumors that have started to circulate in this town these days.”
