Drug-Eating Genius Mage - Chapter 463
Where Promises Intersect (5)
“He’s really gone.”
Reya, who was fiddling with her phone, stretched her neck out of the helicopter and watched Lennok walk away.
The robe, which was rapidly falling toward the edge of the jungle, stretched out the sorcerer and seemed to sway here and there, then it disappeared in an instant as if blurring in front of my eyes.
Leya muttered in amazement as she saw Lennok, who disappeared in an instant using her specialty, the Space Leap Spell.
“I knew Myeong was wandering all over the continent, but I didn’t know that he would really bring a guy like that. Where the hell was a magician like that hiding?”
Freya Kallins is not a member of Pandemonium officially, but she is not completely ignorant of the circumstances of the organization.
Because of her extensive scale technique, if you cooperate with Pandemonium, you will have no choice but to hear stories even if you don’t like it.
For Leya, who is also friendly with Agneta, it was strange to see such a magician appearing in the Pandemonium, where manpower supply was rare.
The clown who was taking out the IVs stuck in his forearms one by one laughed.
“Myung is not the type to spend a lot of time on useless things. Even if I can’t bring Victor, I think it’s worth it.”
“Hey, do you think I’m saying that because I don’t know?”
Raya shook her head with an annoyed expression.
“Regardless of ability, it is strange to think of a veteran who has done this dozens of times.”
If Victor hadn’t taken over the clown’s work at the last moment, things would have gone terribly wrong.
It’s amazing that he adjusted the Ascendant’s giath perfectly in that tense moment and finished the job faster than the clown.
What was even more strange was Victor’s attitude itself, which did not take the matter too seriously.
A gambler who was like a series of tightrope walkers, where even the slightest mistake could cost him his life.
How much do you have to get used to such a planking, so that you can just shake it off like that and get up and leave?
That was exactly what Leya was concerned about, but the clown seemed rather uninterested in that fact.
“What are you thinking so hard about? In the first place, it’s obvious that both the name and identity of Victor are all pseudonyms.”
“what?”
The clown shrugged at her question.
“If you have that level of skill, you must have been brought in with the approval of the leader as well as Myeong. Considering his arrogant disposition, we cannot deny the possibility that he is an old monster that has been on the battlefield for a long time, contrary to what it looks like.”
“This is real… … .! You think I don’t know anything just because I’m preparing for the concert.”
poop!!
said Leya, who hit the clown on the head with a microphone support stand nearby.
“If there was a spatial system specialization magician appearing on the central front, there is no way rumors wouldn’t have been heard in the Talker Fuzz. There are bastards all over the city gambling on the win or loss of the front line. Do you think they missed the news?”
“Whoa, now that I think about it, it’s been a while since I’ve been able to participate in Wizard Board betting. Let’s see, I’ve hidden some money nearby… … .”
Reya let out a deep sigh at the pitiful sight of the clown licking his lips and rummaging through the boxes under the stretcher.
I don’t intend to have a proper conversation, so what’s the point of continuing the conversation?
The situation where the cell phone is being plastered with a call from the company.
The clown said the moment Reya lifted her phone again to leave a reply saying that she would return quickly before the communication was cut off.
“You won’t have to wait long. I expected it when people said they brought it, but their capabilities are beyond my expectations. It will hit the top in no time.”
The young man’s eyes shone coldly as he picked up the spilled skin and rubbed it gently.
“You’ll soon see how dangerous he is.”
“… … it’s funny 내 눈에는 네가 가장 미친 새끼로 보이거든?”
Glenn, who had been driving the airship without saying a word while Leya and the clown were bickering, suddenly swerved.
At the same time, a feast of countless flashes passing through the wide open door.
The clown slowly rose from the stretcher after checking the herpes of countless interceptor weapons spread below the ground of the airship that had escaped from the jungle before he knew it.
“This is the last operation. Leya, can you still sing?”
“Are you okay since you ate two throat candies?”
Reya answered calmly and fidgeted with the speaker, and the clown flicked a finger at the two Glenns standing nearby.
“It seems that with two hearts, I can use phantom magic enough to be able to fight.”
“All right.”
Watching Glenn pull out a knife from within without hesitation, the clown immediately took out two dice from within.
Dalgrak!
The clown rolled the dice toward the bottom of the airship and threw himself out of the airship without even checking the scale.
Holding the two twisted blades protruding from his bosom in reverse, he slashed his neck from both sides.
The clown let out a bizarre laugh as his tongue licked the fresh blood that spread in the air.
“Kheuheuhehe!!! Had I known it would be like this, I would have sent it a little later… … ?!”
As the clown’s body falls like a meteor in the middle of the Air Force’s fire unit, a huge uproar spreads like a wave in all directions.
It was two hours later that the news that the air defense of the impregnable Revolutionary Army in Reading had been breached and that the chief engineer had been decapitated.
* * *
A confrontation between the Church and the Magic Tower in the outskirts of the jungle.
It is not easy to believe that the church is in a position to cling unilaterally in a series of confrontations that feel somewhat sudden.
Even more so, what if the reason was to make Tatiana Chiglet, one of the five rosaries of the Blaver Magic Tower, an apostle of the church?
Even Lennok, who had heard those words, only looked back at Tatiana with a rather absurd expression.
However, as if she was displeased with Lennok’s gaze, she raised her eyebrows and shot at him.
“If you don’t intend to fight Pandaemonium, get out of the way.”
Roaring!!
At the same time as he lightly wielded his mana, the air around the area heated up and a breath of red-hot flame swept across the area.
“Looking at you talking nonsense like that, it seems that the priestess of the church came to this place in person.”
Tatiana muttered that and looked in all directions with sharp eyes.
“I don’t know why the nobleman who was said to never step out of the church’s hometown traveled all the way to the jungle, but if I kill you, the number of apostles born in the church will decrease.”
“Whoops, it’s useless to take out your anger on me here.”
The woman called the priestess laughed with a strange expression.
“This child is just my incarnation. I’m still sitting in my nature and letting go of my fate.”
“… … .”
“Pandemonium?”
The priestess looked back at Lennok and smiled.
“If you help capture him here, I will gladly reward you. If anything, I might be able to help you visit the relics warehouse in the main church.”
“A treasure trove of nature?”
“There are so many things that Pandemonium fans would covet. For example, an artifact related to the archangel’s energy that resides in your body?”
“… … .”
“I don’t like deals that are obvious, but opportunities like this don’t come easily. To think that I would meet someone with the aptitude of an apostle near a well connected to the open sea… … .”
Seeing Lennok not responding, the priestess crossed her arms.
“Maybe we can fill the empty space of the six apostles before the end of the day, but we can’t easily pass by.”
“… … Right.”
Lennok, who quickly recalled the conversation between Tatiana and the priestess, nodded.
All of these conversations now were made up of information that could never exist unless one assumption was made.
The power of this female priest called the priestess.
“Can a religious priestess make a human into an apostle?”
“It can’t be. It is only to receive and pass on the revelation instead.”
The priestess laughed.
“When the time and place are perfectly matched like now, it is possible regardless of the will of the person concerned.”
“… … You mean that because Handbook found the right person near the well, it could forcibly awaken the other person as an apostle
?
It was tantamount to an assertion that the power of a priestess becomes stronger when she is close to a rift in the world.
“How about Pandemonium? Can you make a quick decision before he burns us all?”
Before answering, Lennok looked blankly at Tatiana and the magic tower wizards standing behind her.
All of them raise their mana with a nervous expression, but their faces are full of fear rather than fighting.
The survivors who watched the ascendant’s scuffle in the plaza also realized how ridiculously powerful the magician in front of them was.
Although Tatiana, the rosary of the Mage Tower, is at the head, everyone is exhausted from the long-term operation.
Even if Tatiana was fine, it would be difficult to guarantee a win. What if it was too much now to save other mages?
I’m not sure if the church can survive in this position if it starts to support the rear and assist the wizards of Pandaemonium.
In fact, it is not strange to see that Lennok’s decision tilts the balance of the game.
“… … .”
Tatiana did not bother to persuade Lennok at this point.
At the point where there is no hand to raise anyway, useless words are just a waste of time.
Instead, Lennok slowly shook his head as he stared at her as she squeezed her mana to the limit to create sparks.
“I refuse.”
“ah… … ”
“… … what?”
Tatiana frowned slightly in disbelief, and the priestess let out a low sigh.
Lennok looked between the robes, not paying attention to the reaction of the two.
“How can you believe that the main vault will pay for it when you’re not even willing to increase the church’s power?”
“Another way, if you like… … ”
“Another way? Is it a way to make me an apostle instead of that woman?”
At Lennok’s plaintive reply, the priestess’ eyes narrowed.
After observing Lennok carefully through her robes for a moment, she smiled and shook her head.
“is it so. It’s not that he doesn’t have any aptitude at all.”
“… … .”
“great. If you don’t like it, I’ll just leave. You didn’t come here with the intention of helping us.”
Seeing that they were confronting Tatiana even before Lenok came, it is evidence that the church had its own means to subdue Tatiana.
However, the priestess neatly gave up the opportunity and withdrew because she realized that the reason Lennok appeared here was to disrupt the church.
‘There is room for Tatiana Chiglet to be dragged into this side later.’
At the time Lennok visited the West Continent branch of the Blaver Magic Tower in the name of Van, Tatiana had visited to settle the case of Turan the White Lion.
At that time, Tatiana felt a strong sense of skepticism about the work of the Mage Tower and, conversely, showed interest in Lennok’s recruitment proposal.
Her powers, which are specialized in flame-based bombardment techniques, can be used effectively and powerfully in any organization.
Lennok intervened, deciding to save the life of a competent wizard on the spot rather than making a deal with the Church that could not be guaranteed.
At the same time as the priestess turned around, the sharp eyes of the priests standing behind stuck between the robes.
“I will bury the fact that we joined hands at Pandaemonium today.”
The priestess with her back turned slightly raised her head and muttered.
“This work is clearly against the doctrine of our school, but it was necessary because there was his order.”
“… … .”
“He told me to keep an eye on him. It was just as he said.”
The priestess with a strange smile spat out an incomprehensible word and left the place.
The silent steps of the priests follow, and they disappear so quickly that you don’t even know if you were there just a moment ago.
Lennok stared at the spot where such a church had disappeared for a while, lost in thought.
From the standpoint of the church that worships the end of the open sea as a god, it is natural that they are not reluctant to this operation to eject Gyebaek and lock themselves in the end.
Even so, I wondered why they cooperated as they increased the number of 6 apostles, but it seemed that the religious leader dismissed it as necessary.
Does the church have a different reason than simply serving foreign media and expecting their favor?
Lennok swallowed the unknown question and averted his gaze.
Tatiana approached him with a tired expression and was extinguishing the flame she had lit in her hand.
The sorcerer muttered, powerlessly sweeping through his red hair.
“I didn’t expect to be helped by the puppet of the Pandemonium.”
“It’s just avoiding more crazy monsters.”
Lennok snorted through the mask.
Here, it was necessary to play the somewhat arrogant temper of Victor.
“If you want to die, think outside the eyes of the church. Take your subordinates and get out.”
“… … okay. It should be. Anyway, this is the last time.”
Tatiana smiled tiredly.
“When I said I would quit rosary, Master told me to do this last. I found out too late that it was practically an abandoned mission.”
“… … .”
“Still, the children who followed me must be returned to the Mage Tower… … . Would you like to help?”
Instead of answering, Lennok smiled.
Tatiana also shook her head as if not expecting it.
She murmured as she turned toward the place where the other wizards were waiting.
“okay… … There was a place where I remembered where to go after leaving the magic tower.”
“Are you talking to me?”
“There is someone who comes to mind when I see a wizard like you.”
Her bright red eyes shone brightly.
“I was in debt. Remember this.”
“… … .”
After confirming the wizards of the Blaber Mage Tower disappearing following the church, Lennok stepped out of the jungle.
It is unknown what happened to Tatiana Chiglet, but it is certain that she has been thinking of leaving the Mage Tower for a long time.
Maybe we’ll see her again near the megalopolis before long.
The work of Pandaemonium, which was short if it was short and infinitely long if it was long, was over.
This is the point at which those who dipped their feet into the uproar, voluntarily or unintentionally, step back one by one.
Now that his heartache was over, Lennok had no intention of staying long in the jungle.
It was time to return to the Balkans.
* * *
Lennok, who got out of the jungle, rode his bike and was able to leave the Southern Continent within a few days.
Food ran out on the way, but there were plenty of outlaws to make the rider who was traveling alone not lonely.
It wasn’t difficult to beat the guys who came to the fight first and get the food they had as a gift.
It is fun to watch the expression of the gang members who have been deprived of the smoked sausage they have been keeping with fisheye faces.
Lennok arrived near the Balkans with an unintentional gorge on fatty meats and salty smoked foods that could keep for that long.
Boaaaang!!
Lennok, who had moved to the vicinity of the cathedral in District 21 in an instant, stowed his bike and started walking on his own two feet.
I’m tired from running and lodging in the open air for a few days, but it’s much easier to take care of things before going back to Lennok.
As he put on his mask, he opened the church door and saw a nun perched on the organ pipe above the chapel looking down at him.
“I was waiting for you.”
“… … .”
“Because of the operation in the southern continent, my mind is noisy. I know?”
Instead of responding, Lennok sat down on a chair in the chapel and snapped his fingers.
At the same time, a circular wave that spread through the sound instantly covered the space of the cathedral and formed an intangible barrier.
Hireah’s eyes shone strangely.
“Is it a barrier technique using sound waves? I didn’t hear that you were mastering this type of art… … .”
“Did you know from the beginning?”
After she stopped talking, Lennok immediately asked, fixing his mask.
Hireah paused slightly before answering.
“The well’s plan was carried out by the leader in utmost secrecy, so I was notified only recently. The reason for a manager like me to be involved in the first place… … .”
“It is the story of Soryu. I almost went crazy because I moved outside the plan.”
Lennox nodded.
“Considering the time the operation was composed, it must have been moving ahead of this side.”
“… … .”
“I wonder if you knew about it and didn’t tell me, or if you didn’t know at all.”
Soryu acted as if he was going to question Hireah about Lennok’s existence, but it was Lennok’s job to challenge her.
Does it make sense that she, who received a direct message from Myeong and arranged the work for Lennok, did not properly explain the variables of this work.
As soon as Lennok arrived in the Balkans, the reason he put aside other matters and came to Hirea was not simply to hear the inside story of what had happened.
“Perhaps, for the time being, Pandaemonium’s work will be arranged by them, but it would be difficult if things like this continue to happen.”
Looking at Hireah’s slightly hardened face, Lennok asked again.
“For managers who can’t even tell you about other variables or unexpected actions of members of the same organization… … . What is it worth?”
As Lennok said, he raised his index finger slightly.
Awesome!!
At the same time, several strands of magical thread stretched between the nape of Hireah’s neck and began to bleed.
Lennox smiled as he watched her biting her lip.
“If this happens one more time, then it will not end with a warning.”
“… … good. I’ll keep that in mind.”
As soon as he heard Hireah’s answer, Lennok immediately released the sorcerer.
If he had been a class in the first place, he would not have protested so violently.
Threatening Hairea like this now was the groundwork to imprint on Pandemonium that his way of dealing with work is very different from that of Kyeon-roe.
However, apart from that, it was true that Lennok was feeling somewhat annoyed with Hirea because of Soryu’s work.
As a result, it was only because Soryu was not obsessed with the archangel’s tears that he passed on it.
Hireah, who was holding her neck with a shy face, asked.
“The archangel’s tears?”
“Destroyed. It will probably never come out again.”
Hireah let out a small sigh at Lennok’s lie that didn’t even spit on his lips.
“There were rumors that Jebyeok had returned to Kaiushu empty-handed, but what… … ha ha good From the beginning, the purpose was to steal or destroy. This should make it easier to work on Kaiushu. That’s enough.”
“Work in Kaiushu.”
Lennok’s eyes shone through the mask.
“Soryu also said something about the plan to overthrow Kaiushu. It seems that the city isn’t just hiding artifacts from the old world.”
“… … I’m sorry, but even if I said that, I can’t give you any specific information.”
Hireah responded calmly to Lennok’s sharp point without being frightened.
“It’s one of the linked operations that have been going on for quite some time in the West Continent, and Soryu must have been preparing for it as well.”
“… … .”
“It was definitely my mistake that there was confusion in the process of conveying information, but it was never that I didn’t notice it on purpose. I just want you to know that.”
I wanted to let Jebyeok live so easily that it was strange, so I didn’t have to kill him.
If so, is Soryu appearing during the operation because he voluntarily grasped the situation and responded accordingly?
However, it was a matter of thinking about what else was hidden in Kaiushu and why he was paying so much attention to it.
While Lennok was silent in his thoughts, Hyrea got up quietly and reached out to rummage through the inside of the organ pipe.
thud!!
She took out a long sack, set it on the chapel table, and pushed it all the way to Lennok.
“This is the payoff for the success of this operation. They told me to deliver the myeong separately, including the share of the clown in the jungle.
Hairea smiled as she stared at Lennok’s mask, staring at the sack.
“Why don’t you try opening it? He’s been destroying other cities a lot, and he’s been looking for some really good stuff.”
