Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 436



Archangel’s Tears (1)

A field filled with acrid dust.

An old jeep rolls along in the wilderness where you can’t even see an inch ahead.

Tututu!!

Sticky oil drips from the back of the car with an annoying sound like spitting.

Lennok whose entire body was wrapped in a thick robe looked down at the figure and was lost in thought.

‘The tears of the archangel….’

Now that I know that Pandemonium’s work of collecting relics from the old world is done in the form of a point organization I have no intention of being dragged around by Hilea’s words.

But apart from that it is also true that Lennok cannot ignore the efficacy of the Archangel’s tears.

Is it really a coincidence that the theme of the operation arranged by Hilea is the space-time elixir that Lennoc was looking for as a freelancer?

Perhaps this operation itself was created with Myeong’s plan-

“I plan on going back from here so get off now.”

While Lennok was unable to shake off his complicated thoughts the man sitting in the driver’s seat held out his hand without even looking back.

“1.6 million cells.”

“….”

When Lennok did not answer the man spoke again.

“1.8 million cells.”

“Why does the price go up by 200000 cells?”

When a dumbfounded Lennok asked the man behind the wheel answered calmly.

“Well without me you wouldn’t be able to find your way around here and would end up falling down.”

“….”

“If you brought an idiot who doesn’t really know where Kaiushu is and came all the way here shouldn’t you get paid extra?”

Even when calling the destination and finding the way the friendly attitude is everywhere and the face-saving attitude of spitting while picking the teeth is rather surprising.

Therefore Lennok was also able to take out a solid iron bar from his chest without feeling any guilt.

“If you talk back one more time I’ll give you 2 million cells….”

Slam!!

He stops talking as soon as the cold muzzle of a gun touches his temple.

Lennok said looking down at the man.

“1.5 million cells in exchange for dropping it off here right now.”

“Now wait a minute… that’s…”

“One million cells.”

“Oh I understand!! I understand! Damn it…!!”

The driver who hurriedly unloaded Lennok’s luggage his complexion turning blue hurriedly drove away in his jeep.

Feeling relieved that the distance had widened he shouted at Lennoc.

“As long as I see you at the Eastern Terminal later…!!”

bang!!

The rear tire of the jeep exploded and the vehicle staggered and flipped over.

Lennok turned his head as he looked at the back of the man who crawled out from under the overturned car body and ran away in a hurry.

Dabi who was teasing in his arms snorted lightly.

[I had to hit the grumpy organism with a stick.]

“If you kill him here you will only end up throwing away his body for no reason. “This is enough.”

[Even so I am working hard to create a whip to replace the Master. Please look forward to it.]

“…Wait a minute what does that mean?”

The moment when Lennox was about to extend his hand inside the court to ask again about Dabi’s unusual remark.

The howling wind suddenly cleared and I began to feel someone’s presence through it.

A sharp voice was heard from behind the hesitating wizard.

“I was waiting because I heard reinforcements would come but someone came that was much more unpleasant than I expected.”

Gray hair that seemed to have been scattered by the wind. The face is extremely dirty as if covered in soot.

A reinforced suit that steadily covers the entire body of a skinny figure.

The young man who was staring in this direction with his arms crossed gave a slight gesture.

“A person with a dual personality who is killing it in the cathedral. name.”

“…Are you talking about Hilea?”

“Confirmation complete. “Let’s go.”

The young man turned around and chuckled.

“Everyone is a little upset because the departure time is late.”

“….”

[The organisms of the West Continent are all nasty-tempered.]

The words Darby muttered on the court only represented Lennok’s feelings.

* * *

“Rick is back. “Now that all the members are here let’s briefly introduce ourselves and leave.”

There were about seven people gathered among the rock-strewn fields.

All of them are of military rank or higher and there are a couple of powerful people who have reached castle rank.

Lennok who said it was a team but didn’t expect it to be of this size stood next to the man who called him slightly surprised.

A stern-looking man with an impressive scar covering one eye tapped Lennok on the shoulder.

“This is Victor who participated in this operation at Hilea’s recommendation. So that we can welcome you with warm applause.”

“….”

Naturally no one applauded for Lennok.

I just stared at Lennok’s masked figure with a cold gaze as if I was staring at a rolling stone.

This man who appears to be the leader of the team probably said this not for Lennok’s sake but to get his reaction.

Because Lennok guessed that fact he did not reply.

I just quietly raised my finger towards the man who was tapping my shoulder.

Sigh!!

At that moment the man’s arm suddenly jerked upward and bent behind his back.

A strange sight as if you were manipulating a puppet. The expressions on the others’ faces changed slightly as they realized that Lennok was manipulating the magician.

“Is it a manipulation group?…”

“He was a specialty magician.”

“Even if it is a parachute a parachute with good performance is better.”

“good. “At this level there won’t be anything holding you back.”

The man whose arm was broken while tapping Lennok’s shoulder also casually returned the arm and grinned.

Wood clack!!

“Call me Tucker newbie. “I will explain the operation now so listen carefully.”

“….”

“The target is the safe on the top floor of the penthouse located in the center of Kaiushu. “There I stole the archangel’s tears and returned safely.”

Tucker continued.

“We divide into two groups and divide the work. “One group watches the movement of Jebyeok who is recuperating in a villa on the outskirts while the other group guards the area and rushes in to seize the elixir.”

“What’s the lineup?”

The woman chewing gum on the far right asked.

“Me and Rick Olga infiltrated the penthouse. “The new Victor and three other people take charge of each direction and monitor the movement of the embankment.”

“Switch places with Olga.”

A young man with a sharp-looking face sitting in the middle said.

“I would be better than that stupid woman.”

“I watched it thinking he was a young guy but he didn’t seem to know the topic so it was just filler.”

A woman called Olga spoke in a cold voice.

She raised her messy hair high and stepped forward emitting hot flames from her fingertips.

“Shall we check who is borrowing the floor?”

“There is nothing to decline.”

“stop!”

Tucker shouted and jumped up to stop the two people.

“We cannot tolerate the number decreasing any further than this. “The help of two people is absolutely necessary to break through the security of the safe.”

“Who can say that those two guys will secretly drink the elixir and leave?”

“Can you say that?”

Rick said chuckling.

“It’s because you also want to drink the elixir that was stored in the safe on the wall. “Let’s be honest.”

“…I’m different from bugs like you.”

Filler a sharp-looking young man sneered.

“Don’t think that just because you work together for a short time you are equals.”

The surrounding atmosphere became cold at Piller’s remark that seemed to draw a firm line.

Lennok took a step back watched the scene and nodded.

‘That’s bullshit.’

If you are a superhuman who has reached level 6 or higher it is not surprising if your opinion is so strong that it extends to the bone marrow and hardens.

I think he survived and got to where he is today because he decided on his own style and direction and believed that it was absolutely right.

Since we had gathered together strangers who had barely met each other it was natural for clashes to occur.

While Lennok shook his head the man and woman sitting on the far left stared at him.

Two other people were grouped in the same group as Lennok along with Peeler. Perhaps because they have a relationship with each other there doesn’t seem to be any complaints about the group composition.

The two people smiled and waved probably thinking they had made eye contact with Lennok.

“Let’s do a good job as a masquerade. “You not me.”

“If you catch the ankle of the parachute I will kill you.”

“….”

Unlike the friendly gestures the words spoken are extremely cruel.

In the midst of chaos it wouldn’t be strange if we broke down right away let alone starting work together.

However Lennok felt affectionate rather than annoyed in this atmosphere.

Even when I started working as a freelancer under the name of Ban weren’t these kinds of disputes and conflicts a daily occurrence?

As time passed the number of people who started fights decreased but that was because Lennok became uniquely stronger quickly not because the Freelancers became docile.

A bloody atmosphere where it would not be strange if someone betrayed or stabbed someone in the back right now.

But since this is the situation wouldn’t Lennoc have no hesitation in using them as chess pieces and then discarding them?

The only thing I confirmed to Hilea was that I would obtain the Archangel’s tears but it was not my business to know whether Pandemonium’s name would be discovered in the process or whether the people gathered here would die.

Rather it would be even more strange if Bokmajeon was unable to properly clean up this matter.

“Fuck….”

After spitting out two curses Tucker sighed and waved his hand.

“It doesn’t matter whether it’s Olga or Filler so you two can agree. There are three hours left until Jebyeok heads to the villa to meet the healing magician. “If you can’t decide within that time I’ll follow my own judgment so figure it out.”

There was no answer.

bang!!

Tucker turned his attention to Lennok ignoring the two people who took out their weapons and clashed on the spot.

“Please talk to me about that.”

Tucker took Lennok behind the rock and took out a case of tobacco.

“Do you smoke?”

“Don’t spread cheap stuff like that.”

“…good. “It looks like you don’t really want to talk so let’s keep the business brief.”

After saying that Tucker took a large cigar in his mouth and lit it.

He glanced around took notice and spoke in a low voice.

“How long did you know?”

“What do you mean?”

“I mean do you know which organization arranged the work for us?”

“…You’re asking something strange. “Are you saying you want to see my liver now?”

Lennok’s voice modulated behind the mask turned cold.

“If it wasn’t for Pandemonium I wouldn’t have even come to you like this.”

“Pandemonium… Phew I like it. “That’s a good thing.”

Tucker breathed a sigh of relief and continued.

“You may know this because you heard from Hilea but the people gathered here don’t know that the subject of this incident is Pandemonium.”

“….”

“Some people might guess. However it is officially a secret that Pandemonium arranged the work.”

“Why?”

“There is no end to this episode. “I went through a lot of trial and error but this is the most efficient way to collect relics from the old world.”

Tucker responded exhaling a puff of smoke.

“We are sending reliable forces to collect the relics that must be recovered in the Battle of Bokma. “Considering the amount of power invested in this operation the Archangel’s Tears are not a very high priority.”

“….”

“Do you know why I told you this in advance?”

Tucker nodded as he stepped on the remaining embers of the cigarette filter and extinguished them.

“Let’s take it easy. You might end up seeing each other often. “If you go somewhere and run into each other just pretend not to notice… Do you understand?”

“You know how to use tricks better than you think.”

He has a stern soldier’s face and the way he speaks seems closer to that of a sergeant in his later years.

Tucker grinned at Lennok’s harsh reply.

“You have to be quick-witted to survive on this floor for long. “If you want to go beyond that woman who is killing it in the cathedral and become a proper member of the Pandemonium wouldn’t you have to show your face to the higher-ups for a long time?”

After saying that Tucker put the remaining cigar into Lennok’s hand and left.

Behavior that is blatantly conscious of favor. Lennok who realized what was going on chuckled.

I didn’t expect Tucker to be aiming for Hilea’s position but coming out as friendly as he is now isn’t a bad situation in itself.

It seems like he’s trying to reveal his identity to those who are aware of the existence of Pandemonium but as long as he maintains that stance he won’t try to betray him outright.

‘The problem is that the powerful force sent by Bokmajeon may be in this direction…’

When I heard information about the Archangel’s Tears from Hilea its importance did not seem low at all.

If he had heard the story from Ming Hilea might have chosen Lennok as a sure ‘means’ to retrieve the Archangel’s tears.

Lennok thought about that and then laughed.

What does it matter what Hilea thinks?

Since Lennok participated in this matter whether the operation was successful or not there would be no chance of the Archangel’s Tears being safely recovered during the Pandemonium.

Although he had to take care of Pandemonium Lennok never participated in this operation to look good in Hilea’s eyes.

He flicked his fingers to light the fire and briefly smelled smoke through the cracks in his mask.

“…It’s not tasty as expected.”

When we returned to the field it seemed as if the commotion had cleared up and the area had become quiet with a small crater.

“You’re being so fucking annoying.”

“….”

Olga a gum-chewing woman opens her hand in frustration and Filler sits down to let off steam.

It seemed clear which way the victory or defeat was inclined.

Tucker also seemed not to be that surprised and announced the group formation again with a calm expression.

Perhaps he already knew that Olga’s skills were superior to Filler’s.

“Then as I said before Rick Olga and I will lead the rush team and the other four will each take charge of one direction and watch over us. “If there are no objections let’s get started right away.”

“wait for a sec. “I have one question.”

The last question surprisingly came not from others but from Rick who had never been bothered by anyone until now.

Just like when he first recognized Lennok and brought him in his attitude was somewhat abrasive.

He looked at Tucker lowered his gaze slightly and asked.

“Tucker do you know the organization that arranged the work for us?”

“….”

In an instant the son-in-law became quiet.

It’s not just because Rick said something he shouldn’t have said but because everyone wants to hear the answer to that question.

Lennok also watched with interest wondering how Tucker would react.

“…specific inquiries about higher-ups would be prohibited.”

Tucker twitching his eyebrows with an unpleasant expression. Are you planning to just roughly mention the rules and criticize them?

But Rick didn’t back down easily either.

“Hey Tucker. You know we didn’t get together to take a few elixirs for free. “Are you going to act upset while you have work ahead of you?”

“….”

Rick added as if he had been waiting while looking at Tucker’s silent mouth.

“From the idea of ​​gathering this many people and planning a strategy to the atmosphere of not being obsessed with success or failure everything is impressive. “It’s impossible unless you’re in a place that has a fairly big picture in mind.”

“so?”

“I wonder what that organization was thinking when they hired us and whether they are planning to stab us in the back. And didn’t we just now have a way to know that?”

At the same time that Rick’s gaze naturally turned towards Lennok the gazes of the other five people also turned towards Lennok.

“I came down with a parachute upon the recommendation of my superiors. “I have a friend who knows what the organization is like and has a rough idea of ​​how this will end.”

Rick licked his dry lips his eyes brightened and he wiggled his fingers at Lennok.

Lennok also didn’t bother to avoid his gaze.

“Let me ask you something. “It’s a problem that can be resolved through dialogue.”

The sight of other superhumans retreating as if fascinated by Rick’s words as he takes a step forward and places his hand on his waist.

Tucker who realized that the situation was taking an unusual turn hardened his countenance.

“Put your hands down. “There’s less than an hour left until the wall vacates its place…!”

“I see. “It’s been a while since something like this has happened so I made a mistake too.”

Lennok interrupted Tucker and took a step forward.

The wizard’s eyes visible from inside the mask glowed coldly.

“I should have stepped on it in advance. “I need to get disciplined and go.”

“…what?”

It was a refreshing feeling that I had not experienced since I started making a name for myself in the shadows of the Balkans under the nickname Fast.

Although he is hiding in Pandemonium under the name Victor he must do what he must.

It was time to go back to basics.
