Drug-Eating Genius Mage - Chapter 499
Between Immortality and Mortality (7)
“Oh, the story about Victor and the leader… … .”
The figure of a young man hanging his head to one side as if he had completely forgotten about the corpse he had incinerated before he knew it.
The clown, who had paused as if lost in thought for a moment, grinned.
“Do not lie.”
“what?”
“You don’t have something to say to me, but rather, don’t you have something you want to hear from me?”
“… … .”
“Whoops, since when did the spider, who didn’t know anything about the world, start using such a cute way of speaking… … .”
The corners of the clown’s mouth were torn into elongated pieces.
“I’ll have to ask Freya about this.”
The Agneta he knew was not of the nature to prolong an introduction like this.
Descendants of an ancient species who are not interested in the secular world to the point of forgetting to convey everything, even if it is not enough to disappear after giving only necessary words.
That’s why the clown had an intuition that the reason she came out like this was because she had information she wanted from him.
It must have been influenced by Freya, who was relatively friendly with Agneta.
Agneta, who was standing still with an expressionless face, said.
“I’m sorry to ask you this after seeing you for the first time in a while… … .”
“Okay, so let’s stop using useless public propositions.”
The clown, who had laughed, turned his back without hesitation and strode out of the incinerator.
“In the first place, there is no way that you have a concept of time that it has been a long time. Let’s go in and talk.”
Without hesitation, he walks through the complicated back alleys and returns to the huge gambling hall he was at first.
A gambling hall where thousands of people gather together in a huge hall, intoxicated with money and entertainment.
Dividends and funds flowed non-stop from the electronic display boards on the ceiling and walls, all kinds of slot machines and tables rotated, and bloody chips swiped everywhere.
The clown laughed when he realized that the seat he had occupied was gone.
“This is why you shouldn’t play around with poor stakes, but you just wasted time because you got excited.”
“You were the one who put that priest on the gambling table in the first place. What are you talking about?”
“What were you looking at there?”
The clown who was giggling at Agnetta, who could not be seen but could only hear her voice, spoke.
“Well, then I don’t even need to explain why I’m here.”
“It’s been over a month. It seems to be getting better.”
“so so. It’s okay to go outside now.”
The clown said that and rubbed his heavily powdered cheek.
Following the gesture, the skin peels off as it is, revealing the flesh underneath the reddish skin.
The clown grinned at the sight of blood trickling down his cheeks.
“As you can see, it’s still at this level where the body is twisted.”
“… … I know the story of the redistribution of unhappiness. Are you still in the process of relieving side effects?”
“That’s why the work in the jungle was a pretty daunting task.”
The clown grunted.
“Even if I rob the idiots and hukou gathered here, it’s still not enough.”
It wasn’t for nothing that the clown followed Leya back to Talkerpers immediately after somehow successfully ending the clash between the ascendants in the jungle.
Talker Fuzz, a big city that is a symbol of gambling, entertainment, pleasure, and drinking.
Right here, the clown was continuing the work of relieving the aftereffects of the reality manipulation phantasmagoria carried out in the jungle.
“The captain should know this properly. If I can get in touch with you, please convey my hard work in detail.”
“To be honest, I still don’t know what it means to control the total amount of luck. Can I just gamble and lose moderately and win?”
“Could that be? This is a very delicate work in its own way.”
The clown, a transcendent magician, does not set his own hierarchy to one level.
This is because Gias, which is manifested in instability where even one’s own hierarchy is not properly determined, protects the clown’s rationality to some extent.
Considering that most of the outstanding illusionists go crazy at the boundary between reality and fantasy, this is a truly groundbreaking idea and ability.
However, it is also true that the burden before and after use increases when the power of a high-ranking official is needed.
Although he dedicated several of Glenn’s hearts to gold magic and handled the operation as a level 8 illusionist.
The aftereffects of arbitrarily controlling the hierarchy and the injuries accumulated in battle remained intact on the body of the clown.
The clown was delicately controlling the amount of luck he had used in this city of gambling and entertainment in order to relieve the aftereffects.
“It is to adjust the frequency of luck by executing as close to random probability as possible in succession.”
By repeating the act of testing your luck like gambling, you balance the good and bad luck that comes to your hand.
That was the complete opposite of what happened in the jungle, where Geass’ ability was adjusted by forcibly raising only luck in the process of raising the hierarchy to level 8.
Forcibly adjusting the scale of the dice and raising the hierarchy, the forced ‘luck’ was being balanced through ‘misfortune’ through ordinary gambling.
When he rubs his cheek again, the dripping blood stops and the clown’s skin returns to its original state.
“Of course, even this level can’t alleviate all the aftereffects… … You can’t just die with the side effects, can you?”
The clown suddenly turned his head to a corner of the gambling hall and grinned.
A bizarre attitude that seemed to know where the invisible spider was.
However, Agneta did not react to the sudden action of the clown and changed the topic.
“I don’t know either. Anyway, you mean they’re committing an ugly scam that’s far beyond human sensibility?”
“Does it make sense that you can’t understand this when you’re dealing with such a damn delicate system of magic?”
The clown chuckled and laughed.
“It’s a pity that the sense of balance walking on a tightrope in the imaginary dimension is dark in the world. That’s why the captain is letting you go as you please.”
“What are you talking about?”
“It’s nothing. So what’s your business?”
The clown asked, taking a trump card from his bosom and sitting down at an empty gambling table.
It was like talking into empty space, but to my surprise, none of the players at the same table cared about that fact.
Rather, far from caring about the clowns, everyone mumbles to themselves, prays, takes medicine, and harms themselves.
The two bloodshot eyes go back and forth between the table and the billboard.
In the midst of all this confusion and madness, if the clown had spoken to Agneta, no one was sober enough to hear and remember it.
Receives the cards thrown by the dealer and replaces them with prepared cards as naturally as breathing.
Agneta’s answer is heard in the ears of the clown who completed the full house in an instant and put it down.
“I found the leader’s traces.”
The clown’s hand pushing the chip stopped for a moment.
“… … You mean the trace?”
“I found the footprints of visiting the imaginary dimension. He probably thought I would find it and took the coordinates.”
“hmm… … .”
Pretending to be immersed in worries, he extorts chips from an ugly man who bites his finger right next to him without hesitation.
In an instant, half of his chips were stolen, and the man’s fingers were already covered in blood.
“It’s a situation where you can’t be contacted, but contact was necessary?”
“I think the doctor thinks so.”
“I guess you need to think about it. It was rare that there were so many plans going on at the same time across the continent, but it was this time… … What do you say your name is?”
At that moment, a chip on the table soared into the air like a bounce.
The clown who followed the movement of the chip and turned his gaze to the electronic signboard over there laughed.
Breaking news popped up from a corner of the screen on the screen The sight of a huge column of darkness bursting from the middle of an unknown city was being broadcast in real time.
Seeing this, the clown who threw his hand murmured.
“It’s contact, it’s nabal, and it’s not a situation like that. All right. First of all, I will try to gather some related information from this side.”
“Then I will go. Say hello to Leya.”
“Wait a minute, weren’t you curious about the story of the sorcerer named Victor?”
The clown stopped Agneta, who was about to disappear, and waved the chip in her hand leisurely.
“If you play a game of poker with me, I can have a lot of fun solving what happened then.”
“… … Are you going to steal my luck too?”
“So you don’t feel that way?”
The grumbling clown laughed lightly.
“Well, it’s true that if you gamble with someone as unique as you, the adjustment will be that much faster.”
“… … .”
“Come to think of it, that friend was also a manipulation magician like you.”
The corners of the clown’s mouth, recognizing the momentary flinch, rose long on both sides.
I don’t know the specific circumstances, but it was clear that Victor’s existence was attracting her interest as much as the traces left by the leader.
If you coax it well, a surprisingly interesting story might come out.
The clown who gathered the cards in an instant waved the trump card with a relaxed gesture.
“If you hang out with me for at least three times, can I tell you in detail about that friend?”
* * *
Grisha was walking inside the temple of the vast Far East Branch.
The shape of the crystal palace located in the center of the island was truly magnificent, befitting the castle and status built up.
Even though many places were burned and collapsed in the fierce battle, the sense of intimidation from the scale was enormous.
As she walked through the corridors busy with other Watchers arriving late from the Dominion, she spotted someone and moved on.
“Dreyfus.”
A sorcerer wearing an amulet mask standing silently looking down at the palace while leaning against the window of the spacious hallway.
Even though his face was covered, he could not hide his somewhat tired expression, but his spirit did not diminish in the slightest.
“You woke up earlier than expected. You seem to be getting enough rest.”
Gap-seon glanced at Grisha and she naturally stood beside him.
“Actually, I would have suffered a lot without your help in this matter.”
[It would have been impossible to even start if it wasn’t for Evan.]
Gap-seon shook his head in a somewhat tired voice.
[He took the risk to infiltrate the temple and found a way to break through the barrier and contact you. All I did was tell you the whole story.]
Grisha replied with a smile.
“But it was also your power that helped us arrive at this island by assisting Lapis with his supernatural powers.”
Gap-seon made a hole in the confrontation system using the control code given to him by Lennok and succeeded in contacting Lapis.
Lapis decided to reinforce powerful observers immediately after receiving the call from Gab-seon.
Dreyfus succeeded in space-transferring Grisha, Riza, and several Watchers as a group by combining Lapis’ supernormal ability with his own talisman.
A large-scale space transfer that even the church was barely able to use through the sadistic ceremony through human sacrifice.
Even if the attempt was made based on the lighthouse keeper’s abilities, it is obvious how much power Gap-seon spent to achieve such a feat.
Even for a person with extreme abilities that has reached level 8, manipulating space openly to this extent is a suicide act that gnaws away the main body’s power from the root.
Even after doing such a thing, he immediately joined the battle and dealt with various agents, so it was obvious how severe the reaction would be.
On the outside, he still looks relaxed, but it’s not strange to say that his body is literally burning up.
“I know that Lapis and you both worked too hard. For the time being, there will be no formal operations assigned to them.”
[…] … .]
“If you want, you don’t have to stay on this island to help clean up. Do you have a destination in mind?”
[…] … Yes.]
Gap-seon replied.
[But for today, I want to spend a little time like this.]
“… … .”
[Sometimes you have to have days like this.]
Grisha looked out the window following Gapsun’s gaze and smiled.
“Those guys don’t seem to get tired.”
Beneath the lakeside garden in the courtyard of the palace, five watchers familiar to her are bickering with each other.
Even the two twins and rappers Liza and Evan.
The five of them were having a heated discussion about what they were so passionate about, constantly exchanging magical powers.
“That’s why it’s impossible to maintain a stable state without the synchronization spell. Learning this won’t help much.”
“If the two of you are okay, I’d like to at least check the magic flow.”
Lennok replied, touching his bandaged shoulder.
“I am interested in super-fusion techniques. I want to know exactly how it feels.”
Double Resonance Complex System Unique Technique [Super Fusion].
The unique technique that made the two people who stayed at the rank level into the completed highest rank ability.
During the days when watchers who had participated in the battle gathered and rested, Lennok was asking the twins for advice on whether they could learn the fusion spell.
Even Lennok, who has faced all kinds of mysteries all over the continent, has personally witnessed a spell that interferes with the hierarchy itself less than five times.
The clown’s illusion of deceiving the hierarchy itself was too gambling-like and unreliable for Lennok to attempt.
The superfusion used by the twins is worth learning, although the conditions and risks are great.
If you find suitable conditions and opponents, it will be a skill that can greatly increase the rank and power of Lenok himself.
Lennok thought about that and asked if he could teach Pio and Geo the principles of superfusion.
“The super-fusion technique itself seemed closer to the foundation created by the combination of the two systems than the vision of the two.”
Lennok asked.
“The simultaneous realization of higher-level mutations and synchronicity techniques through fusion. That would be the most powerful weapon between the two of you, right?”
If the super-fusion technique itself was the vision or polemic of each of the mutation and sympathy systems, Lennok wouldn’t have asked about it hastily.
However, Lennok was asking for the knowledge of the principle itself, which realized the result of fusion that could not exist technically through mutation and synchronization.
No matter how unique and heterogeneous the technique is, it is compatible with other systems in terms of principles and theories.
In that sense, the super-fusion technique created by extracting the essences of the two strains, mutation and sympathy, would require a deep understanding of the strain itself.
Lennok intended to understand to some extent the techniques the twins dealt with through his understanding of super-fusion techniques.
“Well, if you go that far, there’s nothing I can’t tell you… … .”
Pio nodded his head with a shy expression.
“I can’t really do a demonstration. you know? This is a gamble we have to leave to chance every time we use it.”
“Hey, I can’t go up any higher because I use such a half-hopeful spell.”
Liza snorted and said.
“Evan, why don’t you learn my crystallization ability!! For a weak mage like you, just learning these abilities will be of great help!!”
“Is Liza insane?”
Lappard, who had been sitting by the lake and quietly reading a prayer, turned his head.
“Your ability is not a power that can be explained in the technical realm in the first place. Could it be that you still don’t know that?”
“Should I know?”
“… … .”
“Why are you trying to learn super-fusion magic in the first place?”
Ji-oh asked with a slightly nonchalant expression.
“Contrary to what you think, this isn’t a useful or powerful spell. It’s just that the two of us jumped over the limit in a way that we couldn’t solve alone.”
“hmm.”
“Thorough preparation is required, and even so, you have to risk your life every time you try. There’s no way a mage of your level wouldn’t know this.”
A boundary line that can barely be reached only by pursuing the contradictions of both sides of body transformation, mind-body change, and stability to the limit.
The miracle that two people with the congenital condition of being twins learned different types of spells up to level 7.
In addition, he has a strong determination to overcome the hierarchy even at the risk of his own life.
It is a job where you have to risk your life with an unshakable faith that covers everything from environment and talent.
But even so, Lennok wasn’t just trying to hear the principles of the fusion technique from them.
“It is the same.”
“What do you mean?”
Lennok looked back at the lake and said.
“That means I also have a threshold that I have to jump over even at the cost of my life.”
“… … .”
Lennok’s plain words made the observers quiet for a moment.
Lappard muttered in disbelief.
“Even a wizard with talent like you has that kind of trouble.”
“I know. This is a bit surprising.”
Liza laughed and patted Lennok on the shoulder.
“To be honest, while participating in this operation, I thought ascended people would feel like this when they were human!!”
“… … .”
“Oh, no one refutes that kind of thing… … ?”
Seeing Liza’s flustered face, Lennok rubbed his tingling shoulders in silence.
“It cannot be denied that the value of the technique itself and the risk of passing it on are considerable. If neither of you agree, I’m not going to force you to-”
“No. Does not matter.”
Geo calmly shook his head.
“My brother owes you his life. Regardless of whether you can actually use it, I will teach you the basics and the flow of magical power.”
“This bastard is secretly trying to pretend to be my older brother… … .”
While Pio grumbled like that, he explained the principle of the super-fusion technique together with Geo without saying anything.
“The important thing is to set the magical flow in 3 multiples of 2, that is, in 8 directions, and have each of the two people contemplate the magical energy needed for fusion from three different sides… … .”
“At the same time as achieving unity, stability and regression must be considered. For that, it is necessary to memorize the original sources of the different magical flows.”
“… … I don’t even know what you’re talking about.”
The explanation was so complicated that even Rapford, who was listening with interest, stuck out his tongue.
“If you haven’t mastered this branch of magic, it will be difficult to understand even the words.”
“You and Liza won’t even remember it in the first place, so it’s okay.”
“… … Isn’t that a compliment?”
Lennok nodded as observers bickered.
“I get it roughly.”
“Eh already?”
“Then let’s try it right away.”
Lennok’s unconventional declaration made the other twins’ faces stunned.
“with who? Surely you’re not trying to do that with the other watchers here, are you?”
“Calm down, at least unless your opponent has mastered a spell similar to or compatible with you-” “
Don’t worry.
Woooo!!!
At the same time as Lennok raised his mana, a whitish figure emerged from behind and began to stand up.
Rapper, who had been watching him, jumped up from his seat.
The dog-headed giant’s eyes were wide open, which is rare.
“Fire incarnation… … !!! Since when the hell!!”
“I’ve shown it once in this operation as well as in the Hanghasa Labyrinth.”
Lennok laughed, wiping the sweat from his forehead.
“Twice is enough to imitate.”
Of course, what Lennok has created now is not a proper incarnation of the one that Lappard is using.
Rather than a true Avatar, which refers to another self, it is a kind of spiritual body that has been materialized by vaporizing magical power and capturing it with will.
He wouldn’t have been able to even attempt it if he hadn’t acquired a sense of the necromancer and lordship through the decisive battle with Madrich Onion.
But that alone was enough to give Lennok the experiment he wanted.
“… … You’re crazy.”
Rapper muttered in a confused voice.
“Are you trying to fuse with the incarnation, not with someone else? If I did that, neither my mind nor my spirituality would last long… … !!”
“But it’s worth a try.”
Lennok said that, without hesitation, rolling up his left arm and extending it.
Since it is not a properly completed incarnation, it can be destroyed at any time.
It would be perfect for a safe experiment to see if the concept of fusion itself would be valid for Lennok himself.
At the same time, Lennok’s body combined with the incarnation’s left arm that floated behind him as if they were overlapping.
Faaaaaa!!
At that moment, a dazzling light burst from the shore of the lake.
