Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 280



Advent of the Apostles (2)

The day after the debtor’s decision ended.

Due to the commotion that occurred in the manor the entire castle was turned into a mourning house.

The shock of the castle residents who realized that they had almost become living sacrifices was enormous.

Although the residents of the fortress are aware of themselves as members of the Triumvirate most of them are ordinary people who lead their daily lives within the fortress.

It’s a shame because we know that the culprits are Ilwon and Ibon. If it weren’t for Samyoung’s presence uncontrollable chaos would have spread.

“I’m only saying this now but I’m really glad I won the proxy war.”

Suryun who had been trying to explain the situation to the castle residents just a moment ago sighed.

“I don’t even want to imagine what would have happened if the creditor position had been taken over by the head of this family.”

The reason why order in the fortress is still maintained is because it was announced that the new owner of the castle was Oren the head of the Samyeong family.

If the Samyeong family who saved them despite the disadvantages takes over the position of lender the fortress can continue to exist by punishing the second family head.

The family heads and their relatives were continuously trying to convince the castle residents of that fact.

However despite Lennok’s words of training he slowly shook his head.

“One way or another the fortress will change.”

“What do you mean?”

“The reason the Palgwang Fortress was able to maintain its current status is because it hid its weakened power through a closed society. “This incident has clearly revealed the incompetence and lack of power of the family owners so it will be quick for rumors to spread outside.”

“….”

“Not only will he come down from his position as the Triumvirate but the city council that allowed this kind of continuation will also interfere. “You will have to endure quite a few changes.”

The reason why Seongchae was able to reign as the ruler of the shadows as a member of the Three Heads was ultimately the result of the combination of the powerful power of the heads of the eight families and the approval of the city council.

However this incident directly revealed that even high-ranking officials in the castle were dissatisfied with the city council’s policy so it would be difficult to maintain the current closed social order.

Unlike the cartel which has an absolute leader named Oliveira the new lender Oren the owner of the Samyoung family is not a strong person who transcends royalties to that extent.

It was almost inevitable that the city council as well as other organizations in the shadows would intervene.

“I see… I understand what you mean. “Maybe it was destined to be like this ever since the previous lender died.”

Su-ryeon nodded with a complicated expression.

“They have the grand title of being the 8th family but in reality they are just playing the role of nobles in a closed society blocking communication with the outside world.”

She said looking out at the scenery outside the mansion with complicated eyes.

“Even if it’s not now the moment will come when we will all be kicked out of the streets at some point.”

“Is there a need to think that much?”

Lennok laughed and stood up.

“It was created out of necessity and only changes. “If you have decided where you will stand in the process there is no reason to be afraid of change.”

“….”

“Oren will be a good leader. Even though we can no longer keep the fortress safe we can at least take responsibility for the residents who have lived under their protection.”

From then on it is not an area for Lennok to interfere.

The circumstances and future inside the fortress were areas in which Lenno had no right or interest to interfere.

Suryun asked looking at Lennok’s back as he walked.

“Where are you going?”

“I have to go finish what I left unfinished.”

Lennok responded taking out a cigar from his pocket.

“I wanted to wait until Oren regained consciousness but… there isn’t much time.”

“that….”

“There must be a reason why you ran away to this family’s main residence. “It would be effective to move here first before they take action.”

“…Why are you helping us so much?”

Suryeon asked with a complicated expression.

“All you have to do is done. Just as I promised Chen and I we won the proxy war and made Oren the owner. Even if you leave with only the compensation you wanted no one will say anything to you…”

“….”

That may be because Lennoc views the essence of this matter from a completely different perspective than other people.

The identity of the Guido Church mentioned by the head of Pandemonium.

The investigation started with the idea that if you are looking for space-time magic you should look for the church’s secretariat but now we are looking at a lot more.

The reason why missionary Walter took such a long time to gain access to the fortress’ internal facilities.

It must have been to obtain the ruins that Oren showed inside the fortress where space and time were separated.

And there is a high probability that those ruins are related to an old world that no longer exists.

The Bokmajeon which searches for relics of the old world and the Order which searches for the time and space of the old world.

Lennok had to check and remember both organizations’ respective destinations at every opportunity.

We have already come too far to ignore it and dismiss it as something that has nothing to do with Lennok.

Confirming the truth and providing answers before the end of the world approaches.

Ultimately it was in line with Lennok’s journey to throw off his shackles.

“well.”

However Lennok laughed it off instead of telling Suryeon about the situation in detail.

“If you are thinking of joining my company you could tell me then.”

“what?”

Lennok immediately turned his back leaving Suryun asking back with a blank expression.

In order to complete this work several preparations were needed.

The street leading to Yvonne’s home.

The downtown area which should normally be crowded with all kinds of people was filled with only cold silence.

“…”

It is natural for residents who realized who the culprit of this incident was to move as far away from the center of the fortress as possible.

Lennok who was walking slowly while letting out smoke suddenly turned his head.

Chen and Manson were slowly walking out of a corner of the alley.

“What about Oren?”

“They say they got over a rough patch overnight and are now asleep. “It is said that the damage to the abdominal organs is so severe that he needs to be thoroughly rested for several months.”

[The doctor said that even after half of his stomach was eaten he fought for a long time and passed out? He’s a nasty old man.]

Manson chatted like that and asked Lennok while bobbing his robot head.

[…But are you really going to go alone?]

“Taking the injured guys with you will only be a hindrance.”

Lennok laughed.

“Don’t hold on to my ankles just watch quietly.”

Less than 24 hours have passed since the aftermath of the proxy war in which Chen and Manson’s training and all of Samyoung’s entourage participated and fought.

There are not many people who can be sent to the front lines unless they have magic recovery power comparable to Lennok.

The magic power consumed is magic but the injuries suffered in the process cannot be ignored either.

In the current situation there was a high probability that it would only become a hindrance.

[Well I’m not the type of person who goes anywhere and hears things like this… But it’s hard to deny.]

Manson crossed his arms and shook his head and Chen looked depressed.

He knew that his skills would not be able to help in battle against 7th level superhumans whether they were injured or not.

“…Once Oren regains consciousness and lifts the outer barrier of the fortress it will be possible to call my friends. “If you wait a little longer until then…”

“Then the city council’s intervention will also begin.”

“….”

“If we don’t get the job done before the other side intervenes we too will be implicated as accomplices and things will become a hassle.”

[If you think about the temperament of those old ladies it must be true.]

Lennok said making Manson keep silent by looking at him repeatedly.

“If the existence of the cult is confirmed it is unlikely that the charges will be acquitted. “To avoid intervention from the city council it is best to complete the work quickly and only provide the results.”

“Does that mean you will attack Yvonne’s home alone?”

Chen said that and shook his head.

“I can’t understand the thoughts of high-ranking wizards….”

[The opposite is true idiot. By thinking and acting that way we can complete the hierarchy.]

Manson said stroking his hard metal jaw.

[I guess I should try to do more crazy things in the future.]

“….”

Lennok sighed at the sight of Manson talking nonsense.

“If the situation is difficult I will end it while assessing the strength of the other side so don’t do anything unnecessary and wait at the place I told you about.”

“that….”

“It may be necessary to clean up the castle even after finishing the work.”

Lennok laughed.

“You know what I mean right?”

“…good.”

Chen nodded with difficulty.

“I’ll ask you about the matter of scouting my sister without my knowledge later.”

“….”

I thought I had secretly used my hand without Chen noticing but then I got caught.

If he had a training level of skill Chen might also have been thinking of involving him in his business.

Chen looked at Lennok’s face laughed and turned his back.

Manson grabbed Chen’s shoulder waved his hand and disappeared.

Lennok stared at the two people and then walked away.

Lennok who was walking along a quiet street suddenly opened his mouth.

“It would be best for you to return by now.”

“….”

“I said it but it only gets in the way. And you have no fighting ability.”

“…I know.”

The person who walked out of the shadows in the alley was a young man with a slimmer physique than Lennok.

“It was probably Ban who saved my life during the last proxy war. “I was guessing.”

Hands and feet shaking with a pale complexion.

A weak character that can be seen as frightened even at a glance.

However one skill in handling shadows is real.

Asui Oren’s nephew and the second most powerful shadow caster within the Samyeong Family after the head of the family and who also participated in this proxy war was standing there.

Lennok scanned his body with an indifferent gaze.

“Then why are you so stubborn?”

“…I’m not good at fighting but I’m confident at handling shadows.”

With those words a large curtain of shadows rose from behind Asui and covered the surroundings.

“I don’t have as much talent as my uncle but…”

Asui swallowed her saliva and continued speaking.

“We may be able to hide what the wizard is trying to do from outside eyes.”

“….”

The meaning of Asui’s words is clear.

Asui had a rough understanding of what Lennok was going to do from now on.

“You are probably thinking of using the magnetic field… and it will most likely be a type of disaster that cannot be disclosed to the outside world.”

Asui spoke while trembling at Lennok’s sharp energy.

“Otherwise… why would you go to such lengths…”

“You know that but you dare come to me and make an offer.”

Lennok laughed.

“You didn’t think I was going to kill you to silence you?”

“If that’s what you were thinking… I wouldn’t have woken up already in the proxy war…”

Asui said while sweating profusely.

“I only pitch a tent but I cannot peek inside. “The only thing that is possible within my domain is…”

“…area?”

Lennok asked back.

“Do you know how to use the area?”

“…yes.”

Asui nodded slowly.

His face was stiff with tension.

“I haven’t been able to properly imprint the image yet but at least a little…”

* * *

“Start quickly.”

“It’s easy to say but in reality it’s not something that can be solved so quickly. “If you don’t go through detailed adjustments you will only fail a hundred times….”

“I can’t hold out for long. hurry…!”

Walter sighed as he saw Yvonne who stopped talking and started violently grabbing and scratching his shoulder.

“You got it wrong….”

The grace of the church that made the head of this family young. The side effects were coming sooner than expected.

Originally I would have had to rest for a long time and slowly transform my body into something other than human.

However due to the injuries sustained while escaping from the proxy battle the balance of magical power in the body is disrupted and the body is collapsing.

Proof that the church’s technology is still insufficient to completely transform a level 7 superhuman.

But instead of voicing those feelings out loud Walter raised his head and smiled.

At the end of the gaze was the body of Tae-oh the head of a single family tied by dozens of veins.

“Since that’s the case let’s do our best among ourselves. “Ilwon Family Head.”

“I broke my promise…!!”

Taeo who was struggling while hanging in the air screamed out loud.

“Didn’t I tell you that if you cooperate your father will be saved!!”

“…”

“So I waited until I sacrificed my family’s blood relatives… How can you deceive me matriarch!!”

Tae-o was not simply deceived by a simple lie.

The murdered sub-creditor. Isn’t this why he cooperated with her by sacrificing everything because he was persuaded by the head of this family that he could resurrect his body?

I believed that if she regained her youth with the help of the church she would definitely have a way to save her father.

Who would have thought that rather than saving his father he would even try to use his own body.

Walter leisurely stroked his chin and smiled.

“Actually I didn’t break my promise. As you can see my father’s body which the head of the single family desperately hopes for is moving fine here right?”

“Shut up!! “Now stop making your father comfortable!!”

Despite Tao’s cries Walter shook his head with a troubled expression.

“Nothing is easy. According to the calculation the matter should have ended when the body of the previous lender was obtained…”

Didn’t they come back such a long way to open the barrier surrounding the historical site where time and space were separated?

It was thought that the barrier would be opened by using the security code left on the previous lender’s body but the barrier system that the Ascendant left behind was not so easy.

This is probably because the barrier itself was not created for the security of the fortress but was created through the mediation of the city council.

This is evidence that the city council was paying close attention to the existence of this historical site.

In the end they tried to legitimately obtain the title by holding a proxy war but everything went awry due to the presence of just one wizard.

“But that doesn’t mean there isn’t a way.”

As Walter said that he slowly stretched out his hand to Tao’s body.

“Now that the Samyeong family appointed as the next borrower is unconscious we can temporarily revive the borrower’s qualifications by supplying a large amount of blood to this borrower’s body.”

Teoh whose face became pale twisted his body like crazy but it was no use.

“If I use this method my body will be completely destroyed so I wanted to refrain but now is not the time to be reckless.”

In an instant a small hole opens in Tae-oh’s abdomen and a tremendous suction power begins to suck all the blood from his body.

“Ahhhh!!”

The frightened family head let out indescribable cries but Walter soothed him with a gentle voice.

“Don’t be so scared. “Didn’t all of your other blood relatives leave like that?”

Tae-oh’s shouting quickly subsides. Walter’s low voice continued over the wide-open eyes that instantly lost their vitality.

“You were the one who sacrificed every member of your family to save your father.”

That moment.

Woooooo!!

A shock wave of intense magical energy struck that shook the entire mansion.

Rather than inflicting a direct blow it is an exercise of force that openly suppresses the nearby streets themselves.

It was clear who the opponent was.

“…!!”

“This guy…he.”

Yvonne jumped up from her seat and glared into space.

In an instant her eyes flew beyond the wall and began to look underneath the mansion’s gate.

There is one man with white magical vapor flowing from his whole body.

The wizard wearing a coat was looking up at her with a bright blue glow between his eyes.
