Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 273
by Jessie@AFNCC
proxy war (3)
It didn’t take long for Asui to wake up from her coma and realize that she had survived.
“Well I did it!”
Rather he was so excited about the fact that he fought the agent of Sagun unharmed and came back alive and proud that he began to pour out words.
“Perhaps the instinct of a great warrior like my uncle was dormant within me. In fact unless my animal-like nature which was suppressed by my magical abilities was awakened through this incident how could I have come back alive with all four limbs intact among prominent agents…”
[When this kid came out alive he turned out to be very ugly.]
Manson muttered tiredly and Lennok shook his head.
“Leave it alone. Asui’s real role isn’t proxy warfare anyway. “It would be better to have your spirit lifted by the joy of victory.”
“No you never won in the first place right?”
“Oh I see.”
Lennok seemed confused for a moment by Chen’s words and laughed.
“But it doesn’t matter does it?”
No one here accepts Asui’s defeat as defeat.
At the point when he succeeded in abstaining with all four limbs intact and screwed up the agent of the military the audience’s attention was focused on this situation.
Now it was enough to let others know where the weight of the proxy war was leaning.
“We’ll start right away. “You can handle it right?”
“of course.”
Chen responded while warming up lightly.
“You practiced like that for this day.”
While adjusting the curve of my waist I pull back the curtain and step inside the manor.
Wow!!
A roar that made my ears ring as if it had been promised.
The executioner was waiting for him amidst a loud response that made the ground tremble slightly.
He may be mentally shaken by saving Asui but his breathing is stable as if he has already calmed down.
The glowing eyes beyond the helmet calmly looked down at Chen.
Chen wordlessly pulled out the curved sword and slowly examined his body.

I was already used to the feeling of a magician tied to my whole body.
The important thing is not to blindly follow Lennok’s manipulations but to understand his battle logic and prepare for and react to the actions to be taken in advance.
With that alone Chen felt his senses becoming sharper and more polished.
The executioner looked down at him with a heavy gaze and spoke softly through the inside of his helmet.
“The bastard of the Oryun family. “I heard the story.”
“….”
“I never thought that the same hands that cut my father would also touch my son. Among the executioners it is considered taboo to touch blood relatives…”
Wow!!
The executioner bows down while carrying the heavy sword on his shoulder.
“On a day like today even the ghosts will take care of the situation.”
Whoa…!!
The appearance of an executioner who raises his magical power without hesitation.
There was not even a single trace of caution left in his words and actions.
Having suffered humiliation in her previous fight with Asui she is determined not to suffer the same humiliation again.
Facing that murderous figure Chen also slowly took a stance.
At the same time the magician inserted by Lennok reacts and sharpens the magic flowing through Chen’s body.
Kiiiiing…!!
While I felt my whole body sharpening like a knife Lennok’s voice rang in my head.
[I will end it briefly.]
“what?”
Lennok continued not paying attention to Chen’s pause as he raised the curved sword.
[I got a rough idea of it while touching Asui earlier. Thanks to you I think I can do fun things.]
“No I’m sorry but in a situation like this I should refrain from experimenting and just do what I practiced… wow…!!”
There was no answer.
As soon as the bell rings Chen’s limbs shake and he begins to run through the manor.
Just by lowering your upper body leaning forward and moving your legs your body instantly regains balance and accelerates.
In an instant the surrounding scenery turned blurry but despite the incredible acceleration Chen’s complexion was not so good.
‘It’s so simple…!’
While Lennok manipulated Chen’s body and experimented with various combat logics Chen was not just playing around.
As a businessman by birth and someone who thought it was natural for him to use his brain he was quite impressed by Lennok’s way of thinking.
Even in the midst of a fierce battle he sets clear priorities and does not hesitate to engage in numbers and psychological warfare at every moment.
He doesn’t hesitate to make reckless or bold moves but that’s also part of a psychological war to steal timing and take the initiative.
He observes the action of battle as if he were looking down on the big situation and even if it means giving up the right to attack for a moment he has more options than his opponent in the total number of attacks and defenses.
A maddening confidence that if given the opportunity to make a choice he would definitely make the best decision.
If it weren’t for this opportunity Chen wouldn’t have been able to even guess how Lennok thinks and acts.
As Lennok’s manipulation ability grows it is natural that Chen understands Lennok’s battle logic and synergy increases.
Conversely the moment Lennok manipulated Chen’s body it was as if Chen also had some inkling of Lennok’s intentions.

A rush at full speed. At first glance the momentum looks good but it is not a good move when dealing with an opponent that is much different in weight class.
A reasonable result that can be hoped for through this type of charging is to break the opponent’s balance immediately after the clash narrowing the enemy’s options and conversely increasing one’s own options.
The Lennok method that Chen has experienced so far is the absolute psychological warfare that occurs in the process but the situation is different now.
Considering the Executioner’s bulky physique and thick armor it was highly unlikely that Chen would lose his balance no matter how much magic he used.
In short he is a reckless first mover.
Kaaaa!!
Chen’s curved sword quickly penetrated the executioner’s insides and pierced deep into the armor.
The executioner took a large step back as if he had been waiting and swung his sword roughly.
There may be no impact from receiving a sharp charge but the strength of the armor and the strength of the body weight prevents loss of balance.
Even the sight of him deftly stepping backwards and lifting his sword as if he had anticipated the situation.
This would be impossible if you had not prepared for your body balance from the beginning.
Hiss!
As the executioner widens the distance a gap widens between the two.
A lich that cannot be reached by Chen’s curved sword but can more than cover the executioner’s magic sword.
If this continues the only future left will be Chen’s body being cut cleanly from the top of his head to his crotch.
“Goodbye.”
The voice echoing from inside the helmet is already confident of victory.
Unlike the shadow magician who could not predict how the opponent would react the executioner also had some degree of skill in the fighting of the hands as a warrior.
‘Damn it…!’
The moment Chen bit his lip and tried to inadvertently raise both arms the magical power flowing within his body rotated arbitrarily creating an unknown technique.
A collection of principles and compositions that he cannot understand or recognize with his current technical capabilities.
The ‘will’ built up in an instant along with a strange feeling as if a puzzle is being put together in the body is expressed as a meaning with magical power.
Faaaa!!
It becomes an intangible wave and spreads out in all directions.
Immediately after the shadow that rose up behind him clung to Chen’s back and flapped its wings.
Wow!!
The distance between two people is about three steps.
Wow!!
“Ugh…!!”
Chen’s body which had jumped over that exquisite gap that was neither too far nor too short was thrown straight behind the executioner.
Suddenly!!
Behind Chen the severed head of the executioner bounced off his helmet and rose into the sky above the manor.
The thousands of people gathered here had a close look at the executioner’s head spattered with faint blood.
The other family heads who were watching this opened their eyes wide and at the same time the audience cheered.
Wow!!!
It doesn’t really matter to them who won or who should have won.
The important thing is to provide a spectacle as spectacular as the fortress residents gathered together.
In that respect the clash between Chen and the executioner that just happened was only a moment but the background of the two was enough to give viewers a thrill.
A confrontation between the executioner who killed his father and his grown son.
Whatever the reason isn’t it enough to be seen as a plausible revenge story?
Chen’s victory in a split-second battle with each weapon of strength and speed was too much to be seen as a dramatic victory.
“Damn… If you’re going to do this please tell me in advance.”
Chen grumbled and struggled to get up.
As he picked up the curved sword that had fallen after cutting off the executioner’s head he raised his arms with all his might and at the same time the shouts echoing in the manor became more intense.
OOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Even as he received the cheers of thousands of people with his whole body Chen’s gaze was directed to the curtain behind the manor stage.
Lennok who was touching his wrist at the back of the stage noticed the gaze and laughed.
‘So far everything goes according to plan.’
Although the process has changed slightly the results are satisfactory for Lennok.
A player who placed Asui as the vanguard and placed shadows throughout the manor in advance.
The second move was to achieve balance by placing Chen in the middle position and winning the proxy battle.
In the process stealing Asui’s technique and recreating it in Chen’s body was a semi-impromptu decision but it was definitely effective in the end.
Even the other family heads who had been looking at Chen with sad eyes were looking down at him with very bristled eyes.
Chen who had no knowledge of magic was able to implement shadow magic with his body but from the perspective of other family heads who did not know the inside story it would be enough to make it seem like he was hiding his skills.
“The executioner of the Sagun family….”
“I lost my head in one hit. “It’s a ridiculous result.”
“Immediately after the collision it accelerated once more in an absurd manner. “I missed the second acceleration for a moment.”
“Either way it’s probably no coincidence that the executioner couldn’t even react. “There was a reason why Paldun’s agent’s qualifications were taken away.”
“….”
Despite the whispers of the other family heads the head of the Paldun family simply bowed its head and did not make any response.
This is because it was obvious how Paldun would be treated as he had not been able to join the alliance of five families and had his representative qualifications taken away.
Is it fortunate that the more Chen plays the more he loses his representative qualifications?
Lennok gazed sharply at the heads of the family through the curtain.
It’s natural to be agitated.
In order to maintain the assumed plan as much as possible we have only chosen the outcome that breaks the game and twists the situation.
Although each side only lost one representative it was enough to create a feeling that things were not going well among the other heads of the house.
If you feel like things are going strange that’s enough.
Someone who thinks that the trend of proxy war is changing strangely will inevitably take different actions.
Wasn’t Lennok’s intention to sit as a leader and observe the situation without taking the initiative to observe the reactions of the family heads while the proxy war was in progress?
Order of Guido.
If they were really deeply involved in this proxy war for the fortress there was no way they wouldn’t use additional measures in this situation.
‘A large-scale magic ritual that involves sacrificing one’s life… If that’s really what the church’s target is then one of the heads of the family is probably helping her. We must find out who our collaborators are before the proxy war ends.’
I know roughly what missionary Walter Martinez was aiming for when he infiltrated the Eight Roaring Fortress.
The gap in space and time that exists inside the fortress. If it were to collect the secrets contained in the historical site it would not be strange to reach out not only to Yvonne but also to other family heads.
Just for this moment Oren was recruited and Suryeon was made the head of the Ohryun family and placed in that position.
With their sharp eyes they would definitely be able to figure out which of the family heads was most closely aligned with Yvonne.
All that remains is to watch the reactions of the household heads as the proxy war continues to change to one that shakes expectations.
* * *
While I was lost in thought the proxy war continued.
A match between Chen who succeeded in maintaining almost all of his stamina and the second representative from the opposing side.
What appeared from the other side of the stage was a deacon with a slim physique.
Lennok already knew roughly who he was through information from the Samyoung family.
Adam Brobeck. He is an agent of the Chilhyeon and a famous mercenary.
He is a member of the Plato Office a mercenary group that rivals Antares in the megalopolis and is a highly skilled warrior and grappler.
Chilhyeon is one of the families that hired outsiders as agents like the Yukryeong that hired Mad Manson.
Lennok’s eyes sank coldly as he reviewed the information in his memory.
‘Plato… It’s been quite a while since we met again.’
Lennok has just been working as a freelancer for one year.
Even back then when we were dealing with black magicians with agents at Evelyn’s request weren’t Plato’s members involved here and there?
It’s been quite some time since they started hiding their whereabouts as there was always a place they wouldn’t step on whenever they received a large-scale request.
What is the reason why these people who were involved in all kinds of events in the megacity have finally reappeared?
To what extent is the truth true of the scandalous rumor that the unique and abnormal capital power is connected to the high-ranking members of the city council?
Contrary to the complex tangle of thoughts in his head Lennok waved the magician with a calm expression.
At the same time the magical power rang in Chen’s ears and turned into a soft message.
[From now on we will proceed as discussed in advance. It’ll be okay right?]
“Since when do you say you’ve been asking things like that?”
Chen answered with a wry smile.
“I can’t help it even if I get scolded. “We’ve started so let’s keep doing it until we see the end.”
It didn’t take long to find out what that meant.
Five minutes after the proxy fight began Chen immediately declared abstention.
