Drug-Eating Genius Mage

약먹는 천재마법사 894화

Eyes that see fate (30)

She walks across the meadow without saying a word, kneels in front of her coffin, and carefully opens the coffin lid.

Damn…!!

Lapis, who noticed the faintly twisting crack in space, nodded his head with a surprised expression.

“A crack in the open sea… it really was there.”

“That’s why the Hexagonal Fortress existed in isolation from the rest of the city.”

“How can multiple cracks like this exist in a specific location?”

In response to Lapis’ obvious question, Lennok crossed his arms and shrugged his shoulders.

“There are a few possibilities, but they are only speculations that are not certain. “It’s not a story worth telling now.”

“but….”

“The Blue Eyes entered the Central Front directly and were looking for a way to enter Arsnova, right?”

Lennok smiled and nodded his head.

“That’s enough. Relying on unfounded inferences will only cloud your judgment. In the end, you won’t be able to understand it unless you experience it.”

“…What on earth happened in this city?”

“well.”

Lenok took out a cigar from his pocket and shook his head.

“Maybe he was trying to accomplish something similar to what you are trying to do now with human power.”

“….”

Looking at Lapis who was silent, Lennok slowly stepped back.

“This is not an area where I can help. “You know, right?”

Lenok lit a cigar and smoked, took out a bottle of medicine from his pocket and held it.

“I’m going to go out and start preparing to widen the rift. “If I force the space to open with my magic, the aftermath will definitely affect the crack.”

Shortly after being betrayed by Vice Mayor Weinston, Lennok knew that carrying out the ceremony in District 19 had become impossible.

However, at the point where the maximum magical power was expanded by forcibly absorbing the magical energy of the open sea flowing from the [Gate] in Area 19.

He was aware of the fact that the cracks in the open sea existing in the citadel could be stimulated in a similar way.

‘If you use the power you received from Damon, it will be possible to fix the stretched crack in the shape of a door and open it.’

An ancient military spirit encountered after the work of Yorta was over.

Among them, a black magician who was given as a gift by Damon, who introduced himself as a noble from the central city.

He called the magician’s power the power of the original source of power that functions as a key to open the door.

If you expand the crack with the magic of the open sea and fix it with a black magician, this crack will function as a [door], even if it is only for a short time.

Click!!

Empty the contents of the vial, fill it with black magician and place it in front of the sanctuary.

Lennok said, casually skimming his lips with one hand.

“When the crack expands to a point comparable to [the door], then you will definitely be able to perceive it.”

“….”

“All that is needed is to conduct the ritual in time and send it beyond the boundaries of the world.”

Lennok, who got down on his knees and made eye contact with Lapis, spoke quietly.

“I came a long way, but I ended up coming here again.”

“Evan. I am….”

Lennok chuckled as he looked at Lapis, who lowered her head in silence.

“Let’s make one last promise. “You’ll be okay, right?”

“yes. “I will definitely succeed-”

“no.”

Lennok made eye contact with Lapis and said.

“We’ll meet here after the ceremony.”

“…”

Lennok asked, looking into the transparent, shining sky blue eyes.

“You understand what I mean, right?”

“Then, Evan, please promise me too.”

Lapis spoke in a calm voice.

“No matter how this ends, it will never leave Cheong’s eyes…”

“….”

Was Lapis already worried about how this fight would end?

Lenok removed Lapis’ hand from her kneeling position and stood up, laughing.

“do not worry.”

The showdown that all the monsters and monsters in this city are waiting for is not far away.

However, the beginning, development, process, and ending are all in the hands of just one person.

And Lennok had decided from the beginning how this fight should end.

“Oh, and it’s okay if I ask you one more thing about the ceremony, right?”

* * *

Lennok, who never forgot his final message to Lapis, closed the door to the sanctuary and locked it tightly.

He spreads Jindun’s barrier jutsu to seal the gap, and sets an unlock code so that it cannot be opened unless it is Lapis.

Finally, he slightly twists the latter part of the barrier technique to block the counterattack from the outskirts.

Wooooow…!!

A trick that Jin Dun used often when completing a barrier technique during his lifetime.

Now, they have been using barrier techniques for a long time, to the point where they can even imitate the habits used by the ascendant.

“….”

Putting aside the meaningless sentiments, we strengthen the barrier around the sanctuary and forcibly bring it to an end.

Slam!!

At the same time as there was a noise like a very heavy lock being locked, the brilliance of the barrier transparently melted into the air.

“Okay then…”

Lenok slowly massaged his shoulder and turned towards the dark wooden hallway.

Since the wanted notice was issued, neither the Patisia who accompanied him in the form of a ring nor Lapis, who had been rescued from the Magic Tower, were gone.

It had been quite a while since Lennok had been left alone like this since accepting Lapis’ security duties.

The moment Lennok realized it, he put his hand in his arms to check the remaining time.

[master.]

A small fox head popped out from within Lennok’s arms.

However, rather than speaking first, Dabi looked at Lennok and suddenly made a strange groan.

[Uhmmm….]

“…Dabi?”

[First of all, I’m trying to check in advance just in case…]

Dabi asked, looking up at Lennok with his front paws on Lennok’s collar.

[Well, it’s really crazy… isn’t it?]

“I can’t hear very well. “Can you say that again?”

[Abubububu]

When Lennok grabbed both of Dabi’s cheeks and massaged them, a scream that was not a scream came out in an instant.

The appearance of a lightning spirit fluttering in the air with its face held in both hands.

It was only then that Lenok chuckled as he noticed the six-pronged tail spinning colorfully beneath his feet.

“It’s a joke. “That’s not a question I can answer in the first place.”

[Eweh… what does it mean?]

“If I were really crazy, there was no way I could realize it myself.”

Lennok laughed, holding Dabi’s front paw and lifting him up.

“That goes for you too. “If something goes wrong with my mind, you will be affected without realizing it.”

[hmm….]

Dabi, who was contemplating with his front paw under his muzzle, soon tilted his head and said.

[I don’t think I’m crazy.]

“There is an answer to that.”

Could it be possible that Lennok’s spirit, which was intact despite being directly exposed to the open sea, could now be damaged?

Although Lennok had confidence in his own reason, he was able to escape of his own will in the end even after participating in the foreign gods’ ritual.

I felt like I could vaguely understand why Dabi was asking this question.

“do not worry. “There is no problem in handling the incarnation itself.”

Lennok’s incarnation is a power modeled after the first world’s monk.

Therefore, unlike Lennok, he has talent in the martial arts world, but because he is not from this world, he is a very unstable being.

As he had a hard time dealing with the Avatar in Yorta, it is natural that Dabi is anxious now that the battle of the Avatar is approaching.

“While stabilizing it through natural techniques, the origin of the incarnation can be neutralized. “The problem you’re worried about won’t happen-”

[That’s not what I was trying to say.]

“…what?”

[I received a call from Pandemonium. We are planning to convene members in a mock ritual space, and are asking if they would like to participate.]

“….”

[If the Master enters the conscious space with a mental abnormality, it will be noticeable. so-]

“Dabi.”

Lennok, holding Dabi’s tail and lifting him upside down, said while pressing the blood vessels on his forehead.

“You should have told me that first.”

[But the one who suddenly started talking about mental theory was Master, bubbu-]

Lennok, who had made Dabi pay for not answering questions, belatedly opened his phone and got lost in thought.

A message arrived through Hilea’s secret line. Especially because it contained a message requesting Victor’s participation.

“It’s called pandemonium….”

[Is there something I would like to ask the Master?]

“If Hilea opens a simulated ritual space directly, the possibility of that happening is low.”

Lennok answered, turning off his phone and putting it in his arms.

“Rather than that, it would be more correct to say that he was aware of this incident during the Battle of Pandemonium. “I think you want to review trends in fastness.”

I remember that the operation to subdue the lightning was discussed several times at the Bokmajeon meeting.

Considering him, it is a reasonable inference that he is calling members who need their opinions ahead of the battle that is taking place.

“how will we do it….”

But what Lennok was worried about was not a different problem.

“There won’t be a problem if you don’t attend, but I’d like to hear the discussions going back and forth there in advance.”

Now, Victor will not be criticized for not attending, but on the other hand, it is true that he wants to know what Pandemonium is talking about.

The problem is that at this point, it is not realistically easy to split one more consciousness and send it to the simulated consciousness space.

‘I managed to get used to the sensation after maintaining the incarnation for several days. Now, splitting consciousness one more time….’

In order to operate the main body and the incarnate body simultaneously, the consciousness is already divided into two.

It is not impossible to split the consciousness further, but it will definitely cause problems in future battles.

No, if you were to consider the level of danger, it would be in the third ritual itself, which is sent to the Pandemonium, rather than the battle itself.

The members of Pandemonium are possessed of such diverse experience and knowledge that even Lennok cannot belittle them.

What are the chances that the monsters of Pandemonium will not notice the discomfort of the vaguely divided consciousness?

If Victor recognizes that he is not in a normal state, it is not surprising if he is put in a situation where he is looked down upon and suspected.

However, even taking that into account, I would like to hear about the contents of the meeting discussed within Pandemonium.

This is especially true if what the members are trying to discuss this time is really to estimate the ‘fastening war’ in advance.

In order to achieve that, ultimately, a normal conscious body must participate in the simulated consciousness space –

After thinking about that, Lennok’s gaze turned to the lightning spirit that was shaking while hanging upside down.

[Ithu, ithu~]

“…Right.”

In the eyes of Lennok, who was silently looking at Dabi, a strange color suddenly flashed.

“I was worrying pointlessly when the answer was right in front of me.”

[master?]

Lennok ignored Dabi’s question and immediately knelt down in the hallway and started drawing a drinking circle.

Minimum process required to participate in a simulated ritual space.

Normally, it would have been enough to just focus my mind and let my consciousness go, but now it’s different.

Wow!!

Lenok, who had drawn the magic circle and placed the tabi on it, nodded his head.

“Okay, I’m ready.”

[Hey, Master…?]

“I will ask you to participate in the Pandemonium meeting on my behalf.”

[yes?]

“Dabi, you are the only one who sees and remembers my actions and habits up close.”

Lennok asked as he slowly infused magical power into the end of his sword.

“Then wouldn’t it be possible to imitate Victor for me?”

Only then did the Thunder Spirit’s mouth open slightly as it understood Lennok’s words.

[…You want me to sit among those organisms and extract information for them?]

* * *

Slam!

I open the front door of Ilwonga’s mansion and walk out.

The way to leave the fortress is through the proper path, which is different from when you entered through the secret passage.

Although there were dark clouds, it was close to noon. However, not a single person approaches the street near the mansion.

A quiet street so empty of people that it feels strange.

A man was standing in the middle of the street, waiting for Lennok.

A familiar face with the side of his head shaved and tattoos filling in. His facial expression clearly shows signs of nervousness, and he can’t even hide his cold sweat.

Lennok, looking at the young man’s face, smiled and asked.

“If you wanted to protect the sanctuary, isn’t it too late?”

“…I’m not trying to protect you.”

Chen Kruger, a member of the Hexagonal Citadel, answered.

Su-ryeon’s half-brother and a freelancer who runs a business using the Ilwon family’s mansion as a base.

And the person who managed the Ilwon Family Mansion on behalf of Lennok.

However, the reason Chen was waiting for him instead of guarding the mansion lay elsewhere.

“A message came down from the tower. “He said not to stop you.”

“….”

“Go.”

Chen said, nodding towards the outside of the fortress.

“Because I’ll be waiting.”

“Sure.”

Lennok started walking past Chen.

I could see the crow of the Samyoung family vaguely passing by on the roof.

Chen glanced back at Lennok and muttered with an expression of boredom.

Rather, it seemed to him that he could not understand the fact that Lennok had accepted those words so obediently.

“Why on earth are you doing this?”

“….”

“It’s a fight you can’t win. rather…!!”

“I’ve given you a tedious explanation, so if you’re curious, ask your colleagues to hear it.”

Lennok’s gaze sank deeply as he looked up at the dark cloudy sky outside the castle.

“I really don’t have time to relax now.”

“…You’re out of your mind.”

Chen, who was looking at Lennok in shock, let out a trembling breath.

“okay. All high-ranking magicians are of a similar race. “I thought I knew…”

With that, Chen no longer asked Lennok anything.

He quietly passes Chen and stands in front of the huge gate that was locked on the outer wall of the fortress.

When he lightly pushed the door with both hands, it opened smoothly without any resistance.

Sigh…!!

Scenery of a vast eight-lane road stretching outside the castle gate.

An asphalt road that was intentionally widened to transport goods into the Hexagonal Fortress.

As the castle door closed behind me, the sound of it being locked firmly rang out.

“….”

Whioooo!!

The Wind Blows.

A sky full of dark clouds. A strong wind blowing loudly as if a storm was about to arrive.

Contrary to the noisy and noisy sky, the ground where Lennok was standing was infinitely quiet.

There was not even a sign of life in the complex cityscape that spread out outside the fortress.

An artificial emptiness, as if the entire area had been deliberately emptied.

But there are probably more eyes watching this place now than at any time since the district was created.

Even now, when I close my eyes, I feel like I can feel the gaze and intentions trying to penetrate me.

I felt an overwhelming sense of loneliness, as if I was standing alone among tens of thousands of spectators, basking in the light.

Damn…!

Lennok began to walk slowly in the middle of the wide road.

Every time he takes a step, the heat rises inside his body, as if lighting a fire.

Ttuk, ttuk…!!

He draws his breath, fans himself, inflates the heat and pushes firewood.

one by one. All the sparks that have been burning inside Lennok until now are unleashed.

“Liberation begins.”

Grrrrrrrrr!!!

Six flame cores rising counterclockwise behind Lennok’s back.

It burns as vividly as the sun, drawing a huge trail of flames behind its back.

Wow!!!

The six reactor cores, rotating in complex trajectories, breathed flames without hesitation.

A vast wave of flames waved behind me like a cloak, covering an entire axis of the road.

Kwaaaa!!!

A surging sea of flames. Without knowing its limits, it unleashes its preheated magical power without hesitation and calls out to the opponent.

Lennok, who had covered the entire road he passed with a sea of fire with a single breath, slowly raised his gaze.

Broke…!!

As if in response to that glance, a bright blue lightning flashed through the dark clouds.

Lightning spread between the clouds and an intense lightning flashed across the sky.

Kuooo!!

A huge afterimage of lightning cut through the dark clouds, casting a long shadow of a wizard.

The appearance of a cold young man standing on the roof of a high-rise building, holding a cane, looking down at Evan.

Unlike Evan, who was covered in red flames all over his body, no reverberations of magical power were felt around the young man.

Instead, the thunderstorm that filled the entire sky was rushing down on behalf of the young man and descending towards the ground.

The most infamous Archmage in the Balkans and the Flame Mage who burned this city and fueled the flames face each other again.

“….”

No need to say anything.

It was too late to go through such formal procedures because the causality accumulated so far was too much.

The audience who have been anxiously awaiting this moment probably don’t necessarily want that either.

“…okay.”

However, it was only after Lennok finally reached this moment that he felt a very pure emotion welling up inside him.

When and where did things get this crazy?

Why did he have to prepare and stage this confrontation?

With the justification of stimulating and expanding the cracks in the open sea and preparing for Lapis’ ritual.

A wanted person was being chased throughout the city. There is also an excuse for clashing for the sake of compatibility of status.

Even the reason why all this is happening for one answer is pushed aside for a moment.

Just what two identities built up in different times can show in front of everyone.

Not only those watching, but even Lennok himself concentrates and devotes all his mind to that single fact.

Lennok, feeling his complicated thoughts being succinctly organized, grinned and muttered.

“Let’s begin.”

Kiyiing!!!

Goryeok, standing at the edge of the building’s rooftop, and Evan, standing in the middle of the eight-lane road, looked at each other and began to make hand signs at the same time.

The four flame cores that were rotating behind Evan’s back lined up in front of him, following the direction of the beast.

The extracted magical power was absorbed and released one after another, amplifying it at an incredible speed.

Flame series unique magic

property change amplification pole

Red star system: solar zenith

4th star: six

Kuoooooo!!!!

Waves of flame fluttering from the ground rise and rotate around a single wizard.

The flames that rose up like a pillar of flame gathered above Lennok’s head and began to draw a magnificent red spiral.

[Heat spiral]

[The arrival of red lotus]

A scene where all the flames in sight seem to rotate and converge to one point.

In a clock covered in heat and distorted, the flames concentrated at the center of the spiral condensed to the limit and spun.

Damn it…!!

The moment the flame was compressed to its limit and materialized, Evan’s knees, unable to withstand the weight, bent to one side.

The waves of flame rippling on the ground rotated around Evan and turned into an elongated battery, turning it into a launch pad for firing a single magic spell.

Phew!!

The moment when one arm was raised and spread out as if pointing towards the Grand Wizard of the sky.

A small chant that only he could recite came out of Evan’s mouth.

“Gyeopyeom (迲炎).”

Kwaaaa!!!!

The magic power that races through the four rotating stars, each with different flames and characteristics, rotates and becomes a flame as a particle.

On the other side of the mandala drawn by the trajectory of the four-pronged flame core, the soaring and luminous flames became a single barrage of fire and ran diagonally from the ground toward the sky.

Coo coo coo coo coo!!!

The moment the light of the sword leaf shot from the ground crossed the ground and leaped into the sky, the ground caught fire along its trace, drawing a colorful firetail.

It crosses the center of the wide open street of hundreds of meters at supersonic speeds, heading toward the Archmage standing at the end.

An augmentation technique whose power increases in proportion to the time and amount of heat burned.

Among them, it is a flame that has raised the flame’s properties to the limit and has undergone quadruple amplification through the red star system.

As a signal to signal the start of a confrontation, it will be a more flashy and hot celebration than any other magic trick.

Slam!!

And, seeing the stream of flames rushing past the speed of sound, the quickie raised his hand.

I’m going to fall in love!!!

If you need a red star system 4-layer saturation technique or a flashy and powerful lightning technique comparable to the fear fire, the answer was set.

It is one of the techniques that Lightning himself trusts the most, and a secret that he does not bring up lightly.

There are no hand seals, no Buddhist shrines, and no chants.

Wishing becomes will, moving becomes magic.

On the other side of the void where there is nothing, it takes shape through will alone and becomes a ray of lightning.

A ray of lightning that proves the length of time that Gorye has lived.

The thought that flashes and descends beneath the inner image soon becomes a seal of lightning engraved at the end of the sky –

“Thunder seal.”

The moment when Do-rei muttered indifferently and pointed to the ground.

Beautiful silver-white lightning struck the ground from beyond the dark cloudy sky.

Silver-white lightning struck at a speed that far exceeded the flame of fear and collided in the center between the two wizards.

Kwaaaaaa!!!!!

The brilliance of the flame lightning shines in different colors and clashes, dividing the sky and the ground diagonally.

Everything around was covered in pure white light, and the entire downtown area was filled with a massive surge of magical energy.
