Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 270



Kingmaker(2)

There was silence.

Oren gazed at Lennok with narrowed eyebrows.

This may be because from his perspective Lennok’s proposal was so unexpected.

But Lennok thought there was no need to complicate things in this situation.

8 families within the fortress. However it is enough to clearly divide the power structure into two.

Lennok was planning to investigate Samyeong’s cooperation and the internal circumstances of the eight families on the condition that he assume the role of kingmaker in this proxy war.

At that moment the shadow curtain blocking the surrounding noise collapsed.

The warriors who escaped their restraints urgently tried to rush towards Lennok.

“Hahahaha!!!”

Everyone stopped in their tracks at the sound of Oren’s voice bursting into laughter.

The cold and arrogant expression he had been wearing up to now has disappeared as he leans on his chair and shakes his shoulders incessantly.

Oren who had been laughing like that for a while slowly took a breath and muttered.

“Hehehe… Listening to your words I can feel that the prestige of the Eight Roaring Fortress has fallen to the ground.”

“….”

“How did things turn out like this? It’s so funny so funny…”

The moment Oren’s eyes which had been muttering absently to himself came into focus he responded coldly.

“But it’s not fun.”

thud!!

At that moment the pitch-black shadow drawn from Oren’s feet once again enveloped the entire throne room and changed its appearance.

The ceiling of the wooden palace soars into the sky casting a huge shadow over the completely transformed throne room.

Shuuuung!!

Lennok folded his arms and looked up at the changing scenery of the Tree Palace in silence.

Being able to remodel one’s home to such an extent using magic means that the magicians’ ability to build a stronghold cannot be ignored.

“Matriarch!!”

“How can we be alone with such an outsider…!!”

The Samyoung warriors who had been pushed out of the palace were desperately calling out the name of the head of the family.

Oren neatly ignored the shouting coming from all directions and raised himself from the throne.

Flap!!

The coat with abundant feathers draped over the shoulders had a sharp appearance as if it had been embroidered with crow’s wings.

As soon as he stretched out his feet the long wings that rose from behind his back supported his body and shook it.

“For the conditions set by the guy who came tumbling in from outside the fortress this is nothing short of wanton.”

Saaaaa….

As he extends his hand the shadows gathered at his feet turn into an old tree staff.

As soon as he grabbed the staff Oren’s magic spread out in all directions and instantly began to weigh down the vast palace area.

Wooooow…!!

“I’ll have to check for myself today to see if I have the skills to do so.”

As Oren said that there was still a clear smile on his face.

It was only then that Lennok realized the emotion on his face and laughed.

“Samyoung family. “You had no interest in the proposal I gave you from the beginning.”

“….”

“Are you not going to have any conversation without checking my skills?”

It’s not that I don’t understand. Changing the family’s guidelines which have been carefully observed up to now cannot be decided with just a few words of conversation.

However would it be an illusion if the smile on Oren’s lips seemed closer to a desire to win rather than curiosity?

“I’ve been curious for a long time to what level the cartel’s presidents have reached.”

Oren said laying his wand hand horizontally.

“The thunder light that captured and killed the apostate monk… Show it to me right before my eyes!!”

Woooooo!!

At that moment all the shadows in the throne room rose up and swirled around Oren.

It pulsates like sticky tar slowly but surely wetting the space and adding color.

Its manipulation ability is such that even Lennok who has some knowledge and sense of shadow magic is impressed.

Lennok is the first magician to handle shadows which are merely traces of light so freely.

“I used to think something like this would happen at least once.”

Lennok also grinned as he raised his magic power.

“It seemed like the right thing to do was to come alone.”

The wizard who flashed a bright blue thunderbolt from both hands and the head of the Samyoung clan collided almost simultaneously.

Quaaaaaaa!!

The explosion of light and shadow that exploded from the fingertips overlapped and sent heavy shock waves in all directions.

Instead of ending in a single clash the magic power that should have escaped the magician’s control after materialization comes to life splitting into dozens of streams of lightning and turning into hundreds of shadow bullets.

An unstoppable torrent of magical power.

The two magicians twisted the magic power in their hands paying no heed to the sharp warning that passed through their limbs mercilessly.

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo!!!

[Open the water body: soul]

The large electric current that exploded between Lennok’s fingers transformed into lightning that flew through the air and traveled across the ground in the blink of an eye.

The shadow rising from under Oren’s feet spins in all directions transforming into the shape of a gigantic beast and running.

The shadows that filled the ground and the thunder that flashed ceaselessly in the air flashed and subsided endlessly taking over each other’s territory without a single step back.

Kagagagak!!!

Below the left knee. He bent the three shields at a right angle to deflect the approaching shadow blade then flipped his fingers to slam a huge pillar of ice onto his back.

Immediately afterwards the dozens of shadow needles that were fired got stuck between the ice pillars and turned into hundreds of ice crystals.

A chill created from magic crystals. Inhale every ounce of it and lift your spirits again.

Before he knew it Lennok’s left eye had turned a passionate purple color.

‘That’s tricky.’

The order of attack and defense that Oren throws is surprisingly not that intense or extreme.

However the shadow technique itself which thoroughly mixes first attacks with checks and counterattacks is more diverse and flexible than anything else making Lennok’s response difficult.

Sharp thorns extend from the shadow sphere rising from the floor and a beast’s maw protrudes from the tip of the thorn and bites Lennok.

He understands and handles the characteristics of shadows which do not have a set shape better than anyone else.

This would be possible not only because of his long training and combat experience but also because of Oren’s natural ability to think freely.

Shadow magic is a unique privilege that allows you to freely change the direction of the attack at the end of the attack while thoroughly observing the basics of combat required as a magician.

It was a very different battle logic from Farden McQueen who preferred to use force while possessing versatile abilities.

“Is this all you can say after shouting so loudly?”

As if manipulating the dozens of shadows tied to his fingertips was not enough Oren conversely began to narrow the distance directly towards Lennok.

Voices of astonishment rang out among the other warriors around him who were watching with their mouths wide open but Oren paid no attention.

Go go go go!!

[Hyeongyeom(玄鎌)]

Rather in a somewhat surprisingly fluid movement Lennok added a huge scythe to the staff in his hand and began to apply pressure.

Instead of being embarrassed by the sudden close combat Lennok snapped his fingers.

Ice crystals fluttering between the shattered ice pillars exploded in all directions scattering a chill like a storm.

Boom!!

“Huhhh…!!!”

However rather than stopping there Oren takes a deep breath and throws himself into the cold storm blowing in from all directions.

Only then did Lennok realize Oren’s thoughts and laugh.

Kaaaa!!

A huge ice spear struck from the air catches Oren’s shadow scythe.

Immediately after that a spear of ice of the same size surrounded Oren and struck down creating a huge prison of ice.

Lennok muttered as he looked down at the shadow scythe that had reached the tip of his nose.

“Now that I see it my way of thinking is closer to that of a warrior than that of a magician. “No even though he lived as a warrior he still possesses a certain level of skill in magic?”

I had a rough guess when I saw Hyuun arguing with Samyoung at his home but I can only be sure now.

The fighting style of a warrior and the manipulation skills of a magician.

Oren the head of the Samyeong family was a superman who perfected himself by achieving heights in those two aspects.

“Interesting. Are all the castle’s Aspect abilities like this?”

“The entertainment hasn’t died down yet so what kind of nonsense are you talking about?!”

Oren screamed and transformed the shadow blade into a giant hand.

The moment when the shadow’s grip was about to grab Lennok and swallow him up.

[Closing fire]

Quaaaaaaaaa!!

The entire ice prison imprisoning Oren exploded emitting an enormous shock wave.

Lennok tilted the shield to let out the aftereffects and spoke bitterly.

“But narrowing the distance means that movements become easier to predict. With that level of magical ability is there any reason to narrow down your options?”

For Lennok who succeeded in visualizing the bifurcation observation from a local perspective through the magical eye it was just a handshake.

However Oren paid no heed to the intense heat of magical energy that exploded around him.

Rather the coat he was wearing on his shoulders rose like giant shadow wings embracing and protecting his body.

Flap!!

As soon as Oren’s body is revealed from inside the coat he spreads his wings and flies into the sky.

Lennok asked looking up at the figure.

“If the purpose is to gauge the level I think this is enough.”

A battle between superhumans who have reached the level of sainthood.

There is no way it can be ended without both sides significantly increasing their power.

However if we continue to wield power by adding more areas or microcosms this huge wooden palace will not remain.

It is curious whether Oren’s hierarchy which possesses the capabilities of both a warrior and a magician was completed in either the microcosm or the realm but Oren probably does not hope that far either.

Oren’s lips who were quietly looking down at Lennok slightly twitched.

“…good. “I understand that your arrogance is warranted.”

He muttered as he slowly laid his staff horizontally.

“Let’s decide the winner through the next three attacks.”

Wow…!!

A shadow twists and turns from the tip of the staff held out toward Lennok forming a spiral-shaped spear.

Lennok who saw this also immediately raised his magic power.

“You don’t need to do it three times.”

I’m so tired…!!

Inside the court Dabi’s body glowed and assisted Lennok’s magic and the alchemical essence dissolved in his body responded and obeyed the doctor.

“I’ll prove it once.”

Creation class unique magic: Alchemy application

Double success.

I’m going to go to the middle of the day!!

The two branches of electricity that leaked out from between Lennok’s grasp twisted into a double helix and turned into a harpoon the size of his forearm.

The lightning flashed with such intensity that it could blind one’s eyes.

The common magic [Alpha Light] was mixed with [Fighting Lightning] which was designed solely for penetration and reverberation and an aurora of pure white polar light began to appear.

Paaaaaa!!!

The unusual amount of light dispels the shadows that had settled in the courtyard and the shadows also disappear.

It was an instant for the complexions of the warriors who were looking at the scene from all directions to change completely.

“….”

The corners of Oren’s mouth twitched for a moment but neither of the two magicians stopped their magic.

The intention ran through the air occupying the space and the magic power moved one step later according to the will.

Two pronged spears aimed in different directions in the sky and on the ground are connected to each other like magnets.

Blah blah blah!!!

“Uuuuuuuuu!!”

“Everyone stay in your seats!!”

A sight where light and shadow seem to be divided into two lines bisecting the entire space.

The impact shatters the air in the area blowing heavy winds everywhere and the other warriors struggle to maintain visibility.

At that moment Lennok’s synthetic magic that penetrated the inside of the window of shadow changed once more.

[Gwancheon]

Wood deud deud deuk!!

A single flash of light penetrated the traces of Oren’s shadow which was trying to somehow maintain its shape all the way to the end.

Instead of losing its power it speeds up and runs through Oren’s close range without hesitation.

“hmm!!!”

A flash of lightning barely grazed Oren’s shoulder tore through the air and surged into the sky.

The flash of light that soared into the sky without hesitation shattered the ceiling of the wooden palace floating in the sky and revealed a clear sky to the courtyard.

Paaaa!!

Immediately afterwards the polar lights emitted by Lenno shattered in the sky creating a small aurora above the wooden palace.

“…!!!!”

Only then did Oren’s eyes widen as he realized that Lennok’s magic had not been aimed at him from the beginning but it was already too late.

The sunlight projected by the polar light began to eat Oren’s shadow without hesitation.

“I also have some knowledge about shadows.”

Lennok muttered looking up at Oren’s frozen face.

“Of all the techniques it is a special control system that is most susceptible to environmental influences. “Isn’t this a technique that can mask weaknesses but is impossible to eliminate?”

Unlike black magic which essentially draws out inner darkness and uses it shadow is a real concept and is a technique that is implemented using an existing medium as a catalyst.

It is easier to operate than general black magic has a high magical conductivity and is also relatively highly compatible with special spells.

However even taking these into account it is clear that it is relatively more difficult to cope with environmental constraints and sudden changes in the battlefield.

The problem isn’t that Oren’s shadow has been weakened right now.

It was as if Lennok had shown Oren directly that he could turn the game over and over again with a single wave of his hand.

Oren lost all his magic medium in an instant and became defenseless.

The warriors also began to move.

“How dare this arrogant bastard!!”

“Everyone protect the matriarch!”

“stop!!”

The loose air suddenly became tense and was about to reach its limit.

Oren’s shout stopped everything.

“Go matriarch…?”

“Why that wizard….”

“Everyone don’t move.”

He was staring at the floor of the wooden palace where the shadows had disappeared ignoring everything else moving around him.

Even if the entire sky is filled with bright polar lights the presence of shadows cannot be avoided as long as objects exist.

But what if that faint remaining shadow depicts a specific pattern?

If you combine the remnants of the real Aurora with the invisible flow of magical power and draw it in your mind a picture will come to mind.

The shape of a dragon with a shark head.

A remnant of one of the gods served by the Guido Church.

Another symbol that existed along with the image of the extinction tree that he left behind when dealing with the warlock Craig.

Lennok was determined to confirm some of his knowledge to Oren.

What is the identity of the forces behind this fortress?

“….”

How much does Oren really know?

How far could he guess from the message Lennok had just delivered to him?

Is he truly the right talent to sway the stage of this rigid castle to his heart’s content as Lennok thought?

Lennok’s deeply sunken eyes met Oren’s gaze.

“Hehehe….”

Oren let out a dark laugh and let go of the staff he was holding.

He looked down at the wand that had disappeared through the shadows and slowly came down to the ground with a sigh.

“I’m old too. “In the past every time something like this happened I would have been put to the end.”

As he mutters like that the shadow wings fluttering from his shoulders are not disturbed at all.

Even under this courtyard under intense sunlight the shadow he controlled had a solid shape as if it were unaffected by the environment.

Apart from being surprised by Lennok’s polar light this may be proof that Oren has also perfected his technique to a level where it is not greatly affected by the environment.

But even with such power and status in his hands his expression still looked complex.

“Follow me.”

Oren who turned his back headed to the back of the throne room first and Lennok slowly followed behind.
