Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 238



Volcanic area (2)

Lennok took the first step ignoring the surprised gazes of those around him.

‘This type of freezing magic isn’t bad either. Although efficiency is somewhat low….’

The freezing magic of the common magic system that Lennok has been using is basically premised on being used in an environment with a water source.

Of course because it consumes less horsepower and can cover a wide range Lennok also used it by first pouring water on it and then forcing it to create a plate.

However on the other hand this means that it is difficult to use in places without moisture.

That’s why Lennok is an ice type. I also stopped by the executive safe to find out the methods of wizards who use their own magic system that specializes in that attribute.

Obtaining McQueen’s Liberation Blade and the Main Commandment Gate there was a separate harvest.

Lennok’s real purpose was to train flame-type and ice-type magic simultaneously.

“Wait a minute.”

After looking back at the group and saying that he raised his magic power again.

Ice-type creation magic.

[Wonyeong-dong]

As soon as he takes a light step magical power rotates violently within Lennok’s body.

Completion of hierarchy. In Lennok’s magic system which began to be integrated into one order the newly added knowledge turned into power.

Bagagagagak…!!!

In an environment where no moisture exists ice pieces stick out like lies covering the ground with a forest of cold.

It neutralized the heat that increased as we headed up the mountain.

And only then did the agents open their mouths as they realized how Lennok was able to use ice magic on such a scale.

“It wasn’t just water it was all magical energy that was frozen and hardened…!!”

“It doesn’t make sense… Unless you manipulate magical power on a particle-by-particle basis it doesn’t work like this…!!”

Although it is natural for a wizard to materialize magical power replacing moisture with magical energy is an art that cannot be attempted without perfectly imitating the properties of water and ice.

This is impossible unless you are born with a special trait or have an in-depth understanding of ice-type magic.

The agents quickly turned their heads towards Evelyn.

“I was wondering why you called an external advisor to this matter…”

“The team leader knew that Ban had such deep knowledge of ice magic!”

“huh? “Well… something like that.”

Leaving Evelyn’s shy voice behind Lennog quietly took out the book from his arms again.

‘What did they do next…?’

If you don’t have water just choose the particles you want to use instead of water.

The necessary magical manipulation abilities are already at their peak.

All that remains is to quickly learn how other users of unique ice magic magic operate and apply the created ice pieces.

It was enough to have the knowledge of one book.

“…Hmm.”

As Lennoc twitched his fingers while turning the pages with one hand the cold air that spread out in all directions split apart on both sides and began to form a large path.

A piece of ice so sharp and powerful that the lava monsters who noticed the abnormality and rushed out could not approach it hastily.

However the icy road that had been extending in accordance with Lennok’s gestures suddenly became blocked and began to melt in an instant at a certain point.

Only then did Evelyn who was leisurely following Lennok from behind open her eyes.

“This is…”

She picked up a small pebble nearby and threw it at the break in the icy road.

Cheeeeeek!!

As soon as it passes a certain point in the air the pebble catches fire and disappears as if melting.

It is distinctly different from any natural phenomenon we have encountered so far.

A barrier that burns all external substances that come across a certain area. It was the power of the Magic Tower.

Lennok said as he watched the stones burning and disappearing in the air.

“It is unrealistic that all guests visiting the Magic Tower experience this inconvenience.”

“…”

“This situation itself is proof that they are uncomfortable with our visit.”

Lennok turned his head towards Evelyn.

“What should I do?”

After thinking deeply her expression hardened and she spoke.

“I sent a message that we had arrived just before we came up to the volcanic area. However the fact that this level of security is still maintained… probably means that we can break through this on our own.”

“….”

“Can you do half?”

Instead of answering Lennok looked thoughtful and held out his hand.

The other agents’ complexions turned slightly pale at that seemingly defenseless hand gesture but Lennok’s hand casually headed beyond the point where the icy road broke off.

Grrrrrrrrr!!

In an instant it caught fire and started burning.

“…Ban!!”

“wait for a sec.”

Protecting your hands with a shield you slowly check the flow of magic inside the barrier.

The goal is to occupy a specific area capture objects entering from outside and automatically cast an ignition spell from a distance to burn them.

Rather than the inside of the barrier being filled with indescribable heat it is a technique that is closer to detecting and intercepting the enemy in a manner similar to radar.

‘Surprisingly the principle is quite simple. then….’

“how is it?”

“I was planning on destroying the entire barrier if I had to but… there’s no need to do that.”

Lenok withdrew his hand grabbed his left sleeve and lightly shook it off causing dozens of magazines to pour out from inside the sleeve.

Countless pieces of ammunition were stored and carried using lightening and shrinking magic.

bang!!

Lenok smashed the magazine case grabbed the hundreds of bullets inside with a magician lifted them up into the air and threw the bullets across the barrier.

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo!!!!

Bullets burst into flames as soon as they entered the barrier.

Lennok immediately raised his magic power and waved his hand.

Manipulation-type creation magic

[Magician Injection]

[Multiple resonance: divergence]

Burbububububbung!!!

Hundreds of bullets under Lennok’s control exploded on the spot emitting intense magical power.

Beyond the barrier bright blue flashes flash one after another exploding in time.

An untimely fireworks display took place in a sky full of ash and dust.

Only then did Lennoc withdraw his hand and casually walked across the icy road.

“egg plant.”

“…Are you done?”

“It just temporarily caused confusion in the method of exploring the barrier. “If it is a security barrier that searches for and intercepts the enemy it will be able to prevent follow-up attacks by interfering with the search itself.”

Only then did the other agents understand Lennok’s words and let out exclamations.

“You are saying that the detection of the barrier itself is being hindered by the flare. “I never thought I could do something like this on the spot without any equipment…”

“No this would not be possible without fully interpreting the barrier’s search pattern and thoroughly controlling the release cycle. How…?”

“It won’t last long. “Move quickly.”

At Lennok’s words the group stopped chatting and moved quickly.

The higher you go up the volcano the more the surrounding environment changes.

It’s not just so hot that it’s difficult to breathe but the acrid smoke billowing from below impairs your vision.

However Lennok was slightly amazed when he saw the view from the center of the volcano’s crater.

“No matter how much you call it a flame-type magic tower I never thought you would settle down in such an extreme place… I think you deserve to be recognized for your guts.”

A huge lake of lava boiling from the center of the mountain.

Five huge structures stand tall surrounding an ultra-high temperature lake that glows scarlet.

Lava pulled up from the ground flows leisurely between the twisted curves of the five spiral-shaped towers.

Between each structure a bridge made of rock is placed to support and connect each other.

Around the magic tower made of dull rock lava flowed along a spiral pattern and glowed softly.

A unique appearance that looks as if light is emitting through the pitch of the screw.

The Blaver Magic Tower was not simply located in a volcanic area but was using the volcano’s lava as its power source.

As they headed toward the center of the crater the group was finally able to identify a person who had come out to meet them on the ground of the huge tower.

He is a kind-looking old man wearing slightly dark red robes.

He was smiling cheerfully with a friendly expression as he looked at the group.

The old man waved his hands and shouted like a child.

“Eveline!!”

Evelyn also adjusted her collar and walked towards the old man.

“Einz-sama it’s been a while.”

The man called Einz immediately held hands with Evelyn hugged her lightly and grabbed her shoulder.

“It’s been so long since I last saw you! “Is life in the city okay?”

“Thanks for your concern.”

“The Marcia family survives at least because of you. “My ugly younger brother can’t take care of my goddaughter so I don’t have the courage to see him.”

Evelyn smiled faintly instead of saying anything else.

Einz looked at the other party members and returned with a serious expression bowing his head slightly.

“My name is Einz from Blaver Magic Tower’s Empirical Theory Study Class 3.”

A polite attitude that does not seem like an arrogant magic tower wizard.

While the other group members lowered their heads Einz took something out of his pocket and immediately began handing it out.

“Everyone take one.”

A bracelet made of bright red paper. However Lennok did not miss the fact that some kind of magic was engraved within it.

Einz laughed pointing to the same object secretly hidden on his wrist.

“This is an item given to each guest invited by the Magic Tower. Basically it is a consumable product made for VIPs as an item proving their identity as an outsider.”

“Consumables are…”

“If you rip your arm long you will be back-summoned outside the magic tower’s barrier. “If you feel that something is going wrong inside the Magic Tower do not hesitate to use it.”

For a moment there was silence among the party members who did not understand what the words meant.

Instead Lennok spoke first.

“Ainz-sama is also wearing that bracelet.”

Einz looked back at Lennok with a slightly surprised expression and smiled softly.

“You are a wizard too. “It’s also quite…no it’s quite amazing.”

“….”

“Exactly. At this point I too am an outsider in this magic tower. “Shall we go inside first?”

As Einz said that he naturally led the group into the magic tower.

The rooftop of the Magic Tower which corresponds to the head of a screw. As I went straight down the stairs in the gap a clean hallway with a cool breeze suddenly appeared.

Even though outsiders were prohibited from entering the atmosphere inside the Magic Tower did not seem very leisurely.

The lights are brightly turned on in every room and people in various colors and outfits can be seen moving through the windows in the hallway.

The other agents as well as Lennok couldn’t hide their interest and looked around.

I didn’t know that this would be the first magic tower I visited but it was true that I was always curious about how magicians like him gathered together and conducted research.

Einz was walking at the front of the group with his back to his back but he only smiled brightly and did not utter a single word.

“….”

It may have seemed leisurely to others but it was different in Lennok’s eyes.

An extremely transparent expression as if it were forcibly disguising its calmness.

It wasn’t that difficult to tell for Lennok who had been wearing a mask since his first day in the megalopolis.

He is not very accustomed to deceiving others.

Evelin’s face was slightly stiff as if she felt that the atmosphere in the Magic Tower was not as good as expected.

The group passed through the corridors of the magic tower in an instant and stood in front of the huge iron door.

A wide hallway entrance with an impressive huge chandelier.

Einz turned in front of the door of the luxurious conference room located on the top floor of the Magic Tower.

“If you go in here the Senate will be waiting for you.”

His face was still calm but his mouth had become stiffer than before.

“I wish Evelyn good luck.”

The iron door opened and Einz took a step back.

As soon as the group entered the thick door closed tightly and the lights slowly started to come on in the conference room which was filled with darkness.

“…There is no one.”

As Mouser muttered there was no one on the long table with an old-fashioned design and the neatly placed chairs.

But instead of saying anything Evelyn sat down on the simple chair in front of her.

Grumble!

At the same time different fireworks began to rise above the seats at the table.

“….!!!”

[There must have been a barrier in place that prevented climbing up the volcanic area.]

While the other agents were startled a heavy bass sound rang out among the fireworks.

[It was a very high-level jamming. Did you do anything there?]

“….”

The group’s eyes all turned to Lennok.

The naturally swaying flames also illuminated Lennok’s face.

After a moment of silence a calm voice was heard from beyond the flames.

[I forgot the guests were coming and didn’t lift the barrier. I feel sorry.]

A calm apology that seems to have no intention of resolving the situation.

Evelyn opened her mouth with a calm expression without any sign of surprise.

“It looks like the elders have no intention of welcoming us in person.”

[….]

“We have received approval from two cities and have officially established ourselves but are you not planning on saying anything about this matter?”

Only then did the fire on the far right begin to stir and let out a slow voice.

[Hyeonggung… We all know that name well.]

“…”

[Did you say that he was the archer who most fully inherited Marcia’s secret? It is welcome that a warrior of your level visits the magic tower but unfortunately the circumstances were not appropriate.]

The flames burned here and there in the air changing the aspect they showed as if they were turning their heads.

[And the head of the Mouser workshop… I apologize for not being able to meet you in person. I would be grateful if Machina would be lenient and hand over this matter.]

A different polite tone from when dealing with Evelyn.

It’s easy to guess how much they value this furry blacksmith.

But Mouser shook his head despite those words.

“I didn’t run this far just to hear that kind of greeting.”

[….]

“Everyone is worried about the reason why Blaver Magic Tower locked its doors after the conflict with Bokmajeon. As you know the magic tower you built in the volcanic region of Claoronis is like a huge furnace one of the largest on one hand on the continent. “If you who were one of the core players in the western continent’s steel industry are reluctant to disclose your past work in this way then who would want to work with you?”

The somewhat foolish appearance from when we first met is gone leaving only clear eyes and a solemn voice.

The arrogant wizards of the Magic Tower. There was not the slightest hesitation in the sight of him yelling at the senator who had risen to the top.

Only then did Lennok understand to some extent why Evelyn endured various inconveniences and waited for the envoy from the Machine City.

In fact this may be because it was difficult to have a justification for inspecting the Magic Tower without the involvement of officials from the steel industry who were supposed to react most sensitively to this incident.

“I won’t tell you to solve the problem right away and open the magic tower.”

Mouser said in a slightly softened voice.

“But you should at least make sure that things at the Magic Tower are running smoothly and without any problems.”

[That… what does it mean?]

“We need proof that the Magic Tower has won the fight against the demon war and is just dealing with the aftermath.”

Mouser’s eyes sank deeply.

“At least I accepted this position today on the assumption that you guys agreed to this.”

[….]

There was a soft silence.

Like people trying to choose what they have to say very carefully.

[great.]

The answer came a long time later and in the complete opposite direction from before it came from the fire located on the far left.

A voice that was extremely cold in contrast to the roaring flames. The tone is polite but it is as cold as rolling ice.

[All facilities in the Magic Tower will be open to them for three days from today.]
