    Growth and Proof (2)

    “hmm….”

    As always for Lennok smoking a cigarette is not simply an act of smoking.

    It is a process of forcibly raising the near-bottom condition to that of the general public by inhaling the smoke from appropriately processing herbs and ingredients used as painkillers and stimulants.

    It goes without saying how much time and capital Lennoc invested to reduce side effects and increase efficacy in the process.

    It’s been a while since I started making my own tobacco since I gained knowledge about alchemy in the Old World but there were still some shortcomings.

    “Once this is over I’ll have to try my hand at it one more time.”

    [This is the 15th prototype. I hope No. 15 smells better.]

    “That’s not something I can do.”

    The most important thing for Lennok is to match the drug’s efficacy duration and side effects to his condition and environment.

    Smell and taste addiction are ultimately secondary issues.

    [The smell of No. 14 which we are currently using is too harmful to a clever spirit like me. The Master has a duty to improve the working environment of the spirits!]

    Lennok burst out laughing at Dabi’s protest of repeatedly hitting Lennok with his front foot on the court.

    “Well it’s not impossible… let’s try when we get back to the studio.”

    In the process of researching the magic system my understanding of alchemy has increased and suppressing scent has become within my reach.

    Although it may be a long way to replace the necessity and convenience of the beginning of the year we are now beginning to reach a point where we can suppress the inconveniences that arise in the process.

    Of course it was obvious that Dabi would suffer through a lot of trial and error in the process but it seemed like the Thunder Spirit had not reached that point yet.

    “Still it’s a product that took a lot of effort to adjust to a herbal scent. “No. 14 must be sad to hear it.”

    [I am not.]

    Lennok turned his head to Dabi’s firm answer.

    “What do you think about that? “It smells pretty fragrant for the beginning of the year doesn’t it?”

    The 8th floor central lobby of the Dyke branch is immersed in darkness.

    In an office filled with piles of documents.

    A whitish figure was standing in the very place where no sign had been felt until just moments ago.

    “…I’ve smelled something similar to this in Kertritz.”

    Inyoung sniffed for a moment looking lost in thought but it wasn’t long before she opened her mouth.

    “When you open the mouths of those whose brains have melted from being marinated in drugs you get this smell. “Do you know why?”

    widely.

    As she took a step forward Inyoung’s face was revealed through the moonlight coming through the window.

    The appearance of an elderly man with a bushy beard and extensive tattoos covering his face.

    Even though he is wearing a clean shirt and shoes the dirty beastliness oozing out of his body cannot be hidden.

    The man said with an expressionless face while looking up at Lennok.

    “This is because when the drug-soaked tongue and brain fluid mix together a bitter scent is created. What’s funny is that even after seeing that guy fall behind more and more people started using drugs because of that scent.”

    “I see. Kertritz…”

    Lennok nodded and blew out a puff of smoke.

    “It is said to be one of the top three prison facilities in the Balkans. “I heard that they were subjected to repeated abuse and oppression so severe that it was difficult to breathe properly but it seems they managed to escape from there.”

    “Is that Mercy… I’m not in a position to say this but you need someone to take care of dirty work everywhere.”

    The man with a grin said.

    “Even my friends who were envious of the triumvirate who was able to do whatever they wanted with the filthy bastards didn’t shy away from it when the stakes were high.”

    “Hoo….”

    Only then did Lennok come down from between the piles of documents and laugh along with the man.

    “For someone who calls himself an escaped convict he seems overly knowledgeable about how the city is going.”

    “….”

    “He was the one who escaped long before the ban was lifted. Can we interpret that Achilles was also gathering his strength to avoid the eyes of the city council?”

    Is it because it is a point that cuts to the core?

    Looking at the speechless man Lennok put a piece of tobacco in his mouth and nodded.

    “Now it would be perfect if you could just tell me your testimony about Madrich Onion.”

    “…if you can give it a try.”

    The man raised his hand and touched the tattoos on his face and laughed.

    “Before we destroy this entire building…!!”

    Quaaaaaaa!!

    Immediately after that the ground beneath Lennok’s feet shattered and something with a large physique rose up from underneath.

    Due to the violent impact a high-rise building with dozens of floors collapses and a pile of documents piled up in the lobby on the 8th floor scatters in all directions disturbing the view.

    In the meantime the giant who had precisely grabbed Lennok’s leg swung his arm and the magician’s new form stretched out and crashed into the bottom of the 7th floor.

    Wood-dud-deud-deuk!!

    An eerie roar that felt like bones breaking.

    A man with tattoos and a giant with a large physique who came down to the 7th floor through the collapsed floor simultaneously began to surround the landing site.

    “I was careful not to fall behind so why don’t you get up soon?”

    The giant burst into laughter and spoke with his arms crossed.

    “There’s something I want to hear before I kill you. “If you want to live even a little longer it would be better to listen.”

    He was completely naked from the waist up and a heavy steel bar was sticking out between his elbows forming a strange shape.

    It looks as if the bones in both arms have been replaced with an unknown metal. The magic power flowing out between them swirled firmly yet slowly.

    “Can’t you hear me?”

    “….”

    Lennok who fell down in a messy posture made no reply.

    The giant scratched his head and then turned to the tattooed man standing next to him.

    “Levi by any chance has that wizard gone after you already? “It seemed like something so delicate wouldn’t last long.”

    “That can’t be possible.”

    The man named Levi burst into laughter.

    “In terms of the criminal record he accumulated in the outskirts until recently he is within one hand. He is a guy whose skills have been clearly proven. “There’s no way he could have died like this.”

    “Then why hasn’t it happened yet?”

    “Of course like a wizard it’s probably because he’s preparing something.”

    Levy smiled faintly and looked around with her head raised.

    “Considering our purpose this is correct. “Once we defeat the wizard named Fast from the front Dyke will give up all resistance and hand over all his base to us.”

    “hmm.”

    “It is enough to crush the will of the leadership that has been entrusted with all of Dyke’s authority. “I’m sure someone is watching this right now.”

    With those words the tattoos on the man’s face began to wriggle as if they were alive.

    The moment when the tattoo that had crawled across my face like a snake wriggled down my neck and disappeared gathering at the tips of my fingers.

    The man said as he made his hand sign.

    “Finish the job before the others come up. Get ready. “The only thing left is to prove our strength by killing the lightning rod.”

    The reputation and strength built up by a wizard named Fast in the underworld. It’s not that they don’t know what the level is.

    However the times when Ban showed off his power were mostly when dealing with powerful superhumans one-on-one.

    Or in most cases the plan was completely laid out for oneself.

    These two people are not the only ones gathered here today to destroy Dyke’s branch.

    Their colleagues who are still approaching them from all corners of the branch are not only confident in their individual skills but also skilled in working together.

    Aside from the fact that it is hard to believe that a magician specializing in one-on-one combat exists it would not be that difficult to crush the lightning bolt with the number of people it kills.

    In the process it is also possible to appeal to their power and organizational capabilities which have expanded their scope of activity as the prohibition law has been lifted.

    Kiriririk!!

    As Levy made his hand sign thousands of tattoo pieces gathered at his fingertips began to spread out in all directions completely covering the room.

    Levi who completed the spell without hesitation raised his magic power and chanted.

    “Magnetic field development.”

    Quaaaaaaa!!

    The tattoos that covered the walls floor and broken ceiling glowed brightly drawing colorless waves everywhere.

    The entire environment was completely turned upside down.

    The appearance of a remote island painted in black and white as if drawn with ink.

    Around the island black ink is filled like a lake and unknown patterns and letters are constantly emerging on the surface of the lake.

    “Ipmukseondogyeong (入墨仙島景). “It is the realization of the realm of the categorical imperative that embodies the power contained in language and letters to the fullest.”

    Levy who had firmly established her own territory by making a hand sign said as she put her hand to her mouth.

    “I don’t know how long they plan to watch their side attack first but if we lay the groundwork first they will have no choice but to move as well.”

    Levy who was grinning whispered something through the hand he placed near his mouth and at the same time language in the form of letters began to float in unison over the lake.

    [Burn up]

    [Twist]

    [Freeze]

    [Stab and break]

    [Squeeze and explode]

    [Roll and crush]

    A series of thoughts transformed from language to letters and from letters to commands are placed in a lake filled with ink and then resurface.

    Immediately after it transforms into various forms of power and rushes towards the fallen Lennok.

    Kwagwagwagwagwa!!!!

    A scene of destruction where flames and ice explode and crumble like sand.

    “Within the Imbukseondogyeong the output and volume of words I can use increase tenfold.”

    Levy who was constantly whispering words between her fingers muttered.

    “Let’s see how long I can hold out.”

    Quaaaaaaa!!

    The giant that came into the area with Levy breaking through the constant bombardment also begins to move.

    The hard iron core embedded in the forearm wriggles and emits a strange vibrating sound and in response the atmosphere vibrates violently and rotates through the air.

    When he swung with all his trembling between his two fists a storm began to rage and a whirlwind formed along the path of the giant’s forearm.

    Whioooooo!!

    Levy also looked at the scene and again without stopping materialized the words and wielded them like weapons.

    “It’s no use trying not to react. “Your presence in the realm is already unavoidable from a certain moment… hmm?”

    Levy who was trying to provide fire support in sync with the giant’s movements as he grabbed and swung the air stopped his movement while roughly trying to swat away the papers pouring over his head.

    It was recognized that the existence of piles of documents flying everywhere before the expansion of the area was an object that should not exist at this moment.

    “Wait a minute why is this pile of paper still in my area…?”

    It is impossible for a pile of paper with work instructions written on it to penetrate the filter of the area that Levy deployed.

    Unless certain magical measures were taken against all of the hundreds of papers currently fluttering across the sky of Ipmukseondogyeong.

    And for the first time Levy’s complexion turned pale as she confirmed that the letters written on the document that had fallen from above her head were not simply work instructions but were a barrier line so complex that its original form was unrecognizable.

    “That’s ridiculous… Just drawing a barrier this size on a piece of paper… That’s right from the beginning…!!”

    At that moment hundreds of sheets of barrier drawn among the papers flying in the distant sky including the one held by Levy glowed all at once.

    Paaaaa!!

    Just as paint dissolves in flowing water the scenes of Ipmuk Seondogyeong began to disappear as if washed away.

    Crash!!

    Noise generated when a space melts and returns to its original form.

    “Khaaaa…!!”

    Levy staggered vomiting blood from her mouth due to the shock and backlash of the entire area being canceled.

    “You have to be careful about this.”

    Right behind him someone took Levy’s body.

    A calm male voice comes from my ear.

    Levy who recognized that it was the tone of the wizard who had been talking to him just moments before trembled and turned his head.

    Lennok who had fallen down just moments ago and was receiving attacks from the giant and Levy was standing there holding both of his shoulders with a normal complexion.

    “Uncharacteristically for an escaped convict he is in poor physical condition. No it was normal for someone who escaped from prison to be undernourished.”

    “You… this….”

    “A bold first move to expand the territory from the start was not bad. “Maybe it’s because I was born into a lawbreaker but my hands are hot.”

    Lennok smiling patted the back of Levy’s neck and said.

    “But when developing an area you should have checked the location and situation carefully. It’s not a powerful spell or weapon. “If you take it out without being confident that you can kill the opponent it is very likely that it will end up like this.”

    Keyee!!

    The area around my neck becomes hot and the heat quickly spreads through my spinal cord and brain.

    “It’s a so-called double-edged sword. I learned how to hold a sword but I never learned when to swing it. “Next time we’ll need to make more careful choices.”

    Lennoc let go of Levy’s shoulder and muttered as he slowly stepped back.

    “If you have a next time.”

    “Oh no…!!”

    Phew…!!

    As Levy screams hot flames rise from every hole in his face.

    Immediately after his head burst like a balloon.

    Pfft!!

    The sticky mixture of blood and bodily fluids falls on Lennok’s head but is soon blocked by the shield and slides down.

    Lennok glanced down at the fallen corpse with its head missing then quickly looked away.

    At that light gesture the giant who had been staring blankly at the tragedy just now took a step back.

    Lennok muttered as he took a step forward.

    “Let’s begin.”
