Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 167

“I mean fight properly!”
“Why me?”
It’s already been 100 seconds since I started watching Weizen’s loud fireworks display.
All Lennok had to do was to dodge his attacks and obtain data on combat flights.
There was no need to worry about avoiding magic that could clearly see the magic flow at the same time as firing it in the first place.
Lennok lightly turned the airship to shake off the pursuing flames and then glanced towards the other side of the night sky.
A young man who does not participate in the battle and watches them from afar even though Baizen is in the midst of attacking them with magic.
Now that Weigen is pushing him he doesn’t have to step forward but if the situation turns around he can join in at any time.
There was a need to delicately coordinate the situation.
“…Ugh!”
However Baizen also threw fire magic a few times and seemed to have realized something so rather than blindly getting angry he began to cry out loud.
In fact it was impossible to just ignore Lennok all the way to this point so it is reasonable to think that there was something hidden.
“It’s an artifact…!!”
Of course the conclusion he reached was far from the truth.
“In addition to Nyx’s insignia you also have an artifact that helps you fly! ha ha ha!! “I never thought things would work out so well…!”
“….”
Weizen said that and immediately led the wingboat and began charging toward Lennok.
Apart from the overuse of incorrect assumptions the action itself is relatively reasonable.
Since he realized that he could not shoot down Lennok just by shooting magic from afar he immediately began moving to narrow the distance and reduce the radius of action.
The way of thinking itself could be said to be that of a wizard.
Weizen completely let go of the steering wheel he was holding and climbed onto the seat of the wingboat.
He quickly made a hand sign with both hands and instantly chanted his own magic.
[Fire net]
Grumble!
The flames from both hands expanded rapidly and spread a bright red net towards Lennok’s wingboat.

[Salt sphere]
Baizen who occupied two sides of the square and narrowed the radius of action immediately chanted another spell and created a huge fireball in the air.
It was quite large almost twice the size of the wingboat that Weizen was riding.
However rather than heading in the direction from which the fireball was approaching Lennok turned the steering wheel of the wingboat in the direction of the net.
Lennok’s wingboat stopped right in front of the approaching net maneuvered at a right angle exquisitely flipped the boat and stopped and at the same time slowly flipped the hull diagonally and exquisitely slipped through the net.
Weizen’s eyes widened to the point of tearing apart at the fluid movement as if he were performing aerobatics.
“this person…!!”
[Combat flight algorithm calculation 88%.]
‘Slowly Dabi begins to operate the wingboat on his own.’
The ridiculous movement just now was not the result of Lennok but entirely the result of borrowing the power of the Thunder Spirit.
It’s not just about flying well it’s about making judgments and calculations at every moment and planning the most efficient avoidance route.
There was nothing more to see after dodging the two fire magic shots that Baizen fired in succession.
Lennok shook his head as he looked at Weizen with a shocked expression.
“That’s not how you do it. “You have that good type of magic but you don’t even know how to use it properly.”
“What kind of bullshit are you talking about!!”
The characteristics of fire-type magic are strong firepower and explosive space control.
If Weizen had known how to properly handle those two qualities it wouldn’t have been surprising if the sky had turned into a sea of fire without Lennok having time to do anything.
However he simply struggled to hit Lennok in this wide space using the designated magic modeling.
“Look carefully. “This is how the power of flame is used.”
“what…?”
Instead of responding Lennok took out the tobacco from his mouth and threw it into the sky.
The embers remaining at the end of the year respond strongly to the magic fired by Lennok turning into a huge sphere of flame.
[Salt sphere]
At the same time dozens of fireworks burst like balloons and began to swim in the sky like a will-o’-the-wisp.
[Red phosphorus bomb]
Hwaaaaa!!
There are a couple of fire-type unique magics that can be known even if you observe them properly.
Magic Tower magic has the characteristic of leaving a growth direction and necessary potential in one magic so that talented people can pass it down from generation to generation and conduct continuous research.
Of course it would be absurd for other wizards to understand the flow unless they were directly taught the core magical manipulation method but it had no meaning to Lennok.
Even the structure of the unique magic of the Flame class which emphasizes destructive power and area explosion has some similarities with the Lightning class so it was not difficult to understand.
Lennoc clenched his fists as he looked at the dozens of flames slowly falling around Weizen.
[Multiple resonance]
At the same time the flames heated like a will-o’-the-wisp resonate and explode from all directions increasing their destructive power.
Burbubububbung!!
Dozens of explosions come together to create a huge new flame spiral.
The flames extending from the flames gathered again and burned into a flame several times larger.
There was no way to avoid the burning fire of Lennok which instantly enveloped his son-in-law.

A miserable scream came out from the mouth of Weizen who was trapped in the flames with the wingboat completely helpless.
Grumbling!!
“Aaaaaaa!!”
Lennok looked slightly surprised when he saw Weizen’s body in the center.
“It’s hot… It’s hot…!!”
Although the manipulation of the flame was a bit sloppy because the flow of magic was captured and imitated with the eye from afar the firepower that contained Lennok’s magic completely could not be compared to that of Weizen.
However Weizen suffered burns all over his body and could not speak properly due to blisters but he survived anyway.
The light flowing from the necklace around his neck was protecting Weizen.
‘It looks like they survived with the effects of the artifact and their own fire resistance.’
I didn’t think it would be strange if it was reduced to ashes in just one hit but the artifact’s abilities seem to be quite high.
There was no way an idiot like that could have obtained such an item on his own so it seemed highly likely that it was an item given to him by the Magic Tower.
While Lennok was lost in thought Dabi who had been silent opened his mouth.
[Combat flight calculation completed. Entering autonomous flight.]
Has two minutes already passed?
“good.”
Lennok who put down the steering wheel and leisurely held a cigarette smiled.
Now that things are like this it would be a good idea to kill the wizard who hasn’t come forward yet and eliminate all traces.
“I spit out all the magic I know and until I die… hmm?”
At that moment the young man who had been flying along with Weizen without saying anything until now threw something.
It was swimming in the air at an absurd speed and instantly got stuck in the neck of Weizen who was facing away.
“Kwaaaaak…!!”
Was it just the same magic that blocked the light flowing from the necklace?
Weizen unable to react foamed at the mouth and rolled his eyes slamming his head into the steering wheel of the wingboat.
Lennok looked at the young man with a bewildered expression.
“…What are we going to do now?”
“Isn’t it time for some sorting out?”
The young man responded calmly despite Lennok’s magical power.
“There is no reason to deal with someone like this for long.”
“Is that all you can say when you hit a colleague in the back?”
“It’s funny that you’re a colleague. “I never thought you would say something like that.”
The young man calmly drove the wingboat and approached Weizen’s wingboat and said.
Even though the driver is unconscious the wingboat’s inherent horsepower still keeps the small airship floating stably.
And the young man naturally grabbed Weizen’s hair and lifted his face as if he had known this from the beginning.
“He has an incredibly narrow perspective and the arrogance to manipulate those around him as he pleases. And poor judgment that is not commensurate with his talent… These are all qualities unsuited to this position.”
“….”
“He is a person who does not want to give even a single penny of sympathy for what needs to be done from now on.”
Lennok remained silent before answering those words.
Now the young man muttered as if he knew everything about Lennok’s thoughts about Weizen but behind those words was a slightly different truth.
As if he knew anything about Lennok’s personality.
The thoughts were complex but the conclusion came quickly.
Lenok removed the tobacco from his mouth and exhaled smoke laughing with an astonished look on his face.
“I see. “Are you the lighthouse keeper’s messenger who came out to meet me?”
“….”
This time it was the young man’s turn to keep his mouth shut.
“They were waiting for me to come to them from outside the Dominion. And he was following the wizards visiting the Dominion and checking them out for himself.”
Otherwise that’s why he appeared with Weizen in the first place. And there is no explanation as to why he suddenly betrayed Weizen.
Due to the fact that Baizen was a wizard of considerable skill he followed him first but when he saw Lennok’s presence he must have realized that he was mistaken.
And he must have intervened decisively and confidently in the air battle that had just taken place.
“What a fun guy.”
Lennok said.
“You probably already guessed it when you took out the spirit for automatic flight.”
The moment they contacted each other at the academy’s plains the only information the lighthouse keeper knew about Lennok was his identity face and the existence of a spirit named Dabi.
If the young man had been traveling around the Dominion looking for Lennok under the orders of the lighthouse keeper he would have known that Lennok had arrived here in disguise the moment he saw the spirit’s presence but he did not immediately intervene and watched the situation from afar.
That was probably to determine how much capability Lennoc could show against Weizen.
There is no need to say that Baizen’s personality is incoherent but despite this his use of flame-type unique magic and his judgment as a wizard were at a considerable level.
And that fact irritated Lennok.
“The moment I thought that I didn’t intervene but instead watched.”
The young man intervened the moment he saw Lennok’s effortless handling of Weigen and realized that Lennok’s capabilities were even greater than Weigen’s.
If Lennok had been weaker than Weizen would the young man have knocked Weizen out just like before?
The assumption itself displeased Lennok.
“I apologize if you felt rude.”
The young man bowed his head politely without saying a word.
“What we’re about to do is more dangerous than you might think and it involves dark secrets. “I thought that appropriate screening was necessary when welcoming new outsiders into the organization.”
“Well you’re not wrong.”
Lennok slowly erased his smile as he said that.
“But I don’t think that’s what your boss thinks.”
“….”
If the lighthouse keeper wanted to verify Lennok’s qualifications he couldn’t have done it in such a brute-force manner by sending out only one subordinate.
Regardless he is the only person who has personally heard the will of Madrea Palsier.
No matter how ignorant and rude the lighthouse keeper was he would never have treated the person who last spoke to her grandmother this way.
In other words what he said now was entirely his own opinion.
The young man made no excuses.
“…sorry. “I will guide you to him right away.”
After saying that he immediately grabbed the head and chin of the unconscious Weigen.
It seemed like the intention was to kill it all at once and then drop the body downwards.
But when Lennok saw that action he shook his head.
“No don’t kill me let me live. “I would like you to keep it if possible.”
“yes?”
A young man who does not understand Lennok’s words and blinks.
As Weizen tried to kill Lennok and take Nyx’s badge wouldn’t this moment be a good time for Lennok to kill him and hide his traces?
But Lennok smiled faintly as he looked down at Weizen’s stunned face.
“It would be a waste to kill a wizard of this level so easily. This is manpower that cannot be found anywhere. “There will be room to use it somehow.”
The moment he met Weizen in the thick fog that no one could see Lennok already had an idea of how he could use his presence.
A talented wizard who wields powerful magic. An arrogant genius who is rare has a clear identity and is not very good at personality.
Isn’t Lennok the perfect person to use as a starting point in this matter?
‘It might be helpful if you get into trouble breaking into a drug lord’s safe.’
Lennok grinned as he thought so.
The young man was just looking up at Lennok with a clearly intimidated expression.
* * *
The two captured Weigen who had fainted and placed him on the young man’s wingboat.
He didn’t forget to take out the dagger from his pocket and stab it into Baizen’s skin.
“that….”
“Because you never know.”
It is a dagger imbued with a curse formula acquired through a battle with Irina.
As Baizen is a magician of a certain level he may have magic resistance but if he stabs him directly with a dagger it will be enough to restrict his movement.
“Ugh….”
The curse seemed to have worked even if only slightly as Baizen began to sweat profusely.
After completely subduing him with traps and curses Lennok began to search through Weizen’s arms without hesitation.
“Let’s see… I have more than I thought. As expected of a guy who coveted other people’s things he was very interested in artifacts.”
Most of them seemed to be artifacts that aided the fire-type magic he used but there were some that seemed quite useful.
A necklace with an impressive bright red ruby.
It seemed to be a magic sphere that looked like a red eye embedded in an octagonal crystal and even to Lennok it seemed to contain a considerable amount of magical power.
Considering that it blocked the fire magic cast by Lennok it probably had decent performance.
The young man quietly waited by Lennok’s side until he completely wiped out Weigen.
It didn’t seem like he felt very awkward seeing this.
“If everything is done let’s leave. “I will explain as we go.”
The situation was completely different from when we first met but no one pointed out that fact.
A young man who introduced himself as Amun took the lead and led the way.
“Cheongyeon has been predicting his own death for a very long time.”
Amon said.
Even though he heard a bloody threat from Lennok right before he didn’t hesitate to speak out first.
He was no ordinary guide either.
“No one has heard the details of what went wrong in his attempt to ascend to heaven but he was waiting for the day when he would die.”
“….”
“The organization created to follow his legacy and promise the future is the ‘Blue Eyes’ where our observers gather.”
