    Where promises intersect (5)

    “He’s really gone.”

    Reya who was fiddling with her phone craned her neck out of the helicopter and looked at Lennok walking away.

    The robe which was falling rapidly towards the edge of the jungle seemed to swing back and forth with its magic thread outstretched and then disappeared as if blurring in an instant before my eyes.

    Reya muttered in amazement as she looked at Lennok who had suddenly disappeared using his special skill space jumping.

    “I knew that Ming was traveling all over the continent but I never thought they would actually bring in someone like that. “Where on earth was a special magician like that hiding?”

    Freya Carlins is not an official member of Pandemonium but she is not completely unaware of the circumstances of the organization.

    Because of her vast underworld magic if you cooperate with the Pandemonium battle you will inevitably hear various stories even if you don’t like them.

    Reya who was close to Agneta found it strange that a magician of that caliber would appear in a battle where manpower was already scarce.

    The clown who was removing the IVs from his forearms one by one chuckled.

    “Myung is not the type of person to invest a lot of time in useless things. Even if we couldn’t bring Victor back I think it was worth it.”

    “Hey do you think I’m saying this because I don’t know?”

    Reya turned her head with an annoyed expression.

    “Regardless of ability it’s strange to think about a veteran who has done this dozens of times.”

    If Victor hadn’t taken over the clown’s work at the last moment things would have gone awry.

    It’s surprising that he not only perfectly adjusted the Ascendant’s Geass at that critical moment but also finished the job faster than a clown.

    What was even more strange was Victor’s attitude which did not consider the matter such a big deal.

    He was a gambler who was no different from a series of tightrope walks where it was not surprising that if he made even the slightest mistake his life could be lost.

    How accustomed do you have to be to such a routine to be able to just shake it off like that and leave?

    That was exactly what Reya was concerned about but the clown didn’t seem to be very interested in that fact.

    “What are you thinking so hard about? “To begin with it was obvious that both the name and identity of Victor were pseudonyms.”

    “what?”

    The clown shrugged his shoulders at her question.

    “If he has that level of skill he would have been brought in not only with his name but also with the leader’s approval. Considering his arrogant nature we cannot deny the possibility that he is an old monster who has spent a long time on the battlefield despite his appearance.”

    “This is really…! “They think I don’t know anything just because I’m preparing for the concert.”

    Wow!!

    said Reya who hit the clown on the head with a microphone stand that was standing nearby.

    “If a space type magician had appeared on the central front there would be no way that rumors wouldn’t have been heard in Tokerfuzz. “There are bastards all over the city who gamble on whether the battle will be won or lost. Do you think they missed the news?”

    “Hehe now that I think about it it’s been a while since I’ve been able to participate in Wizard Board betting. Let’s see I hid some ssamjit money around here…”

    Reya sighed at the pitiful sight of the clown rummaging through the box underneath the stretcher while quenching his appetite.

    There is no point in continuing the conversation if I have no intention of having a proper conversation.

    My phone is already being flooded with messages from the company.

    The moment Reya lifted her phone again to leave a reply saying she would return quickly before communication was cut off the clown spoke.

    “You won’t have to wait long. I expected it when I heard that 100 people were brought in but the capabilities exceeded my expectations. “It will surge upward in an instant.”

    The eyes of the young man who picked up the spilled skin and rubbed it suddenly shone coldly.

    “You will soon be able to see how dangerous this person is.”

    “…It’s funny. “Because in my eyes you look like the craziest bastard?”

    While Reya and the clown were arguing Glenn who was driving the airship without saying a word suddenly changed direction.

    At the same time a feast of countless flashes of light passing through the wide open door.

    The clown who had already seen the countless interceptor weapons spread out below the ground of the airship that had escaped the jungle slowly got up from the stretcher.

    “This is the final operation. “Reya can you still sing?”

    “I took two throat lozenges so you think you’ll be okay?”

    In response to Leya’s calm reply and fiddling with the speaker the clown snapped his finger at the two Glenns standing nearby.

    “With two hearts I think I can use genjutsu enough to fight.”

    “All right.”

    Seeing Glenn taking out a knife from his pocket without hesitation the clown immediately took out two dice from his pocket.

    Rattling!

    The clown who rolled the dice towards the bottom of the airship threw himself out of the airship without even checking the scale.

    He held the twisted two-pronged blade protruding from his arms in reverse and slashed his own neck with both sides.

    The clown let out a strange laugh licking the blood spreading in the air with his tongue.

    “Hehehehe!!! “If I had known it would be like this I would have sent it a little later…?!”

    The clown’s body falls like a meteor into the center of the Air Force fire unit and a huge commotion spreads everywhere like a wave.

    It was two hours later that the news spread that the air defenses of the Redding Revolutionary Army which boasted an iron wall had been breached and the head of the facility had been decapitated.

    * * *

    A confrontation between a religious order and a magic tower that took place on the outskirts of the jungle.

    It is hard to believe that the denomination is in a unilateral position in a series of confrontations that feel somewhat sudden.

    What if the reason was to make Tatiana Chiglet one of the five beads of the Blaver Magic Tower an apostle of the church?

    Even Lennok who heard those words just looked back at Tatiana with a somewhat absurd expression.

    However she shot back raising her eyebrows as if she was displeased with even Lennok’s gaze.

    “If you don’t want to fight pandemonium get out of the way.”

    Grumbling!!

    At the same time as he lightly wielded his magic power the air in the area heated up and a breath of red burning flame swept through the area.

    “Seeing you babbling such bullshit it looks like the church’s priestess came here in person.”

    Join our discord and ping me to update more chapters. Discord: https://discord.gg/93rmBjgP6B

    Tatiana muttered that and looked in all directions with her sharp gaze.

    “I don’t know why a nobleman who is said to never step outside of the church’s true nature traveled all the way to the jungle but if I kill you there will be fewer apostles born in the church.”

    “Hehe there’s no use taking your anger out on me here.”

    The woman called a priestess smiled with a strange expression.

    “This child is just an incarnation of me. “I’m still just sitting with my nature and letting fate unfold.”

    “….”

    “Pandemonium?”

    The priestess looked back at Lennok and smiled.

    “If you help me capture that person here I won’t be afraid to reward you. “If anything I can help you visit the church’s main relic repository.”

    “A warehouse of relics of the original nature?”

    “There are a lot of items that Bokmajeon people would covet. For example is it an artifact related to the energy of the archangel residing in your body?”

    “….”

    “I hate deals with obvious targets but opportunities like this don’t come easily. “I never thought I would meet someone with the aptitude for being an apostle near a well connected to the open sea…”

    The priestess crossed her arms as she saw Lennok not responding.

    “Perhaps we may be able to fill the void left by the six apostles before a day passes but we cannot easily pass by.”

    “…I see.”

    Lennok who quickly recalled the conversation between Tatiana and the priestess nodded.

    All of this conversation now consisted of information that could never exist if one assumption was not established.

    The power possessed by this female priest called a priestess.

    “Is it possible for the priestess of the church to turn humans into apostles?”

    “It can’t be. “All I can do is receive and pass on revelations on my behalf.”

    The priestess laughed.

    “When the time and place match perfectly like now it is possible regardless of the will of the parties involved.”

    “…”

    Does this mean that because the handbook found a suitable apostle near a well it can force the opponent to become an apostle?

    It was nothing short of an assertion that the priestess’s power became stronger in places close to the cracks in the world.

    “How about Pandemonium? “Can you make a decision quickly before he burns us all?”

    Before answering Lennok looked at Tatiana and the magic tower wizards standing behind her.

    They all seem nervous and are raising their magic but their faces are full of more fear than before.

    The survivors who were watching the battle between the ascendants in the square also painfully realized how incredibly skilled the wizard in front of them was.

    Although Tatiana the magic tower’s rosary is at the head everyone is exhausted due to the long-term operation.

    Even if Tatiana is fine it is difficult to guarantee victory so what if it is too much to save the other wizards?

    If the church starts supporting the rear and assisting the wizards of Pandemonium I am not sure if they will be able to survive in this situation.

    In fact it is not strange to see that the balance of the game is tilted due to Lennok’s decision.

    “….”

    Tatyana did not bother to try to persuade Lenok at this point.

    Anyway since there is nothing left to show on this side useless words are just a waste of time.

    Instead Lennok who had been quietly watching her exert her magic power to the limit and create a flame slowly shook his head.

    “I refuse.”

    “ah…”

    “…what?”

    Tatiana frowned faintly as if she couldn’t believe it and the priestess let out a soft sigh.

    Lennok paid no heed to the two people’s reactions and peered through their robes.

    “You don’t even want to increase the church’s power so how can you believe that they will pay you in return from the main treasury?”

    “If you want there is another way…”

    “Another way? “Is this a way to make me an apostle and not that woman?”

    The priestess’s eyes narrowed at Lennok’s harsh reply.

    After observing Lennok carefully through her robes for a moment she smiled and shook her head.

    “is it so. “It’s not like you have no aptitude for it at all.”

    “….”

    “great. If you don’t feel like it I’ll just leave. “You didn’t come here with the intention of helping us.”

    Considering that they were confronting Tatiana even before Lennok came it is proof that the church also had the means to subdue Tatiana.

    However the reason the priestess gave up the opportunity and retreated was because she realized that Lennok’s appearance here was in order to disrupt the church.

    ‘There is room for Tatyana Chiglet to be brought in here in the future.’

    At the time when Lennok visited the West Continent branch of the Blader Tower in the name of Van Tatiana came to settle the case of Turan the White Lion.

    At that time Tatiana felt a strong sense of skepticism about the Mage Tower’s work and in turn expressed interest in Lennok’s offer to recruit her.

    Her power which specializes in fire-based bombardment techniques can be used effectively and powerfully in any organization.

    Lennok intervened deciding to save the life of a capable wizard rather than making a deal with the church that could not be guaranteed.

    As soon as the priestess took a step back the sharp gazes of the priests standing behind her caught between her robes.

    “I will leave behind today the fact that you joined hands with us in Pandemonium.”

    The priestess with her back turned slightly raised her head and muttered.

    “This was clearly against our church’s doctrine but there was an order from him that it was necessary.”

    “….”

    “He told me to keep an eye on it. “It was as I said.”

    The priestess with a strange laugh said something unintelligible and left.

    The priests’ silent footsteps follow them and they disappear so quickly that you don’t even know they were there just a moment ago.

    Lennok stared at the place where the church had disappeared for a while lost in thought.

    From the perspective of a church that worships the apocalypse of the open seas as a god it is natural that they are reluctant to carry out this operation which involves sending out enlightenment and locking themselves in the apocalypse.

    Nevertheless I was curious as to why they cooperated by increasing the number of the Six Apostles but they seemed to have dismissed it as something that was directly needed by the religious leader.

    Is there a reason for the religious denomination that is different from simply serving foreign media and expecting their favor?

    Lennok swallowed those incomprehensible questions and looked away.

    Tatiana approached him with a tired expression and was extinguishing the flame in her hand.

    The wizard muttered as he feebly brushed his red hair.

    “I didn’t know I would get help from the puppet of Pandemonium.”

    “We just avoided creating more crazy monsters.”

    Lennok snorted behind his mask.

    Here it was necessary to portray the somewhat arrogant character of Victor.

    “If you want to die think outside the eyes of the church. “Take your men and get out.”

    “…okay. I guess so. “This is the last time anyway.”

    Tatyana smiled tiredly.

    “When I said I was going to stop praying Master told me to do this for the last time. “I found out too late that it was essentially an abandoned mission.”

    “….”

    “Still I have to send the kids who followed me back to the Magic Tower… Do you want to help me?”

    Lennok chuckled instead of answering.

    Tatiana also shook her head as if she wasn’t even expecting it.

    She muttered as she turned towards where the other wizards were gathered and waiting.

    “Yes… I remembered where to go when I leave the Magic Tower.”

    “Are you talking to me?”

    “When I see a wizard like you someone comes to mind.”

    Her burning red eyes shone brightly.

    “I owe you. “Remember this incident.”

    “….”

    Lennok walked out of the jungle after confirming that the wizards of the Blader Tower were disappearing after the church.

    We don’t know what happened to Tatiana Chiglet but it is clear that she has been thinking about leaving the Magic Tower for a long time.

    It might not be long before we see her again near the great city.

    If it’s short it’s short if it’s long the infinitely long pandemonium is over.

    This is the point at which those who have been involved in the commotion voluntarily or unwillingly are retreating one by one.

    Now that he had finished what was bothering him Lennok had no intention of staying in the jungle for long.

    It was time to return to the Balkans.

    * * *

    After getting out of the jungle Lennok was able to get on his bike and leave the southern continent within a few days.

    Although there were times when food ran out along the way there were plenty of outlaws to make riders traveling alone not feel lonely.

    It wasn’t difficult to beat up those who started a fight and receive the food they had as a gift.

    It is also fun to watch the bewildered expressions on the faces of the gangsters as they lose their carefully stored smoked sausages.

    Lennok arrived near the Balkans having unintentionally consumed a lot of fatty meats and salty smoked foods that could be stored for such a long time.

    Buaaaa!!

    In an instant Lennok moved to the area near the cathedral in District 21 stored his bike and started walking on his own two feet.

    Although I am tired after spending several days in the field looking for accommodations it would be much easier to get things done before returning to Lennok.

    As he adjusted his mask and opened the church door he saw a nun sitting on the organ pipes above the chapel looking down at him.

    “I was waiting.”

    “….”

    “My mental network is in turmoil because of the operation in the southern continent. Do you know?”

    Instead of responding Lennok sat down on a chair in the chapel and snapped his fingers.

    At the same time the circular wave that spread through the sound instantly covered the space of the cathedral and formed an intangible barrier.

    Hilea’s eyes shone strangely.

    “Is this a barrier technique using sound waves? “I have never heard of anyone learning this type of technique…”

    “Did you know from the beginning?”

    Lennok who stopped her adjusted his mask and suddenly asked.

    Hilea hesitated slightly before answering.

    “The well project was carried out in great secrecy by the leader so I was notified of it only recently. “There is no reason for a manager like me to participate in that field in the first place…”

    “This is Soryu’s story. “I almost lost four months because I moved outside of the plan.”

    Lennok nodded and said.

    “Considering when the operation was formed they were definitely moving ahead of us.”

    “….”

    “I wonder if you knew about it but didn’t tell me or if you didn’t know at all.”

    Soryu acted as if he was going to challenge Hilea about Lennok’s existence but it was Lennok’s job to challenge her.

    Is it possible that she who had received direct advice from Myeong and arranged the work for Lennok did not properly explain the variables of this matter?

    The reason Lennok put aside other matters and came to Hilea as soon as he arrived in Balkan was not simply to hear the inside story of what happened.

    “I think we’ll probably be taking care of Pandemonium work for the time being but if things like this keep happening it’ll be troublesome.”

    Lennok asked again looking at Hilea’s slightly frozen face.

    “What value is it to a manager who can’t even tell you about other variables or even the unexpected behavior of members of the same organization?”

    Lennok said and gently raised his index finger.

    Wow!!

    At the same time several strands of magic thread stretched tightly between Hilea’s neck and began to shed anticipation.

    Lennok laughed as he saw her slightly biting her lip.

    “If this happens one more time it won’t be a warning.”

    “…good. “I’ll keep that in mind.”

    As soon as he heard Hilea’s answer Lennok immediately released the magician.

    If I had been in the class to begin with I wouldn’t have protested so violently.

    Threatening Hilea like this now was the groundwork to impress upon Bokmajeon that his way of dealing with things was very different from that of Bolreai.

    However regardless of that it was true that Lennok was feeling somewhat annoyed with Hilea due to Soryu’s incident.

    As a result Soryu was not very attached to the Archangel’s tears so he just passed on it and if things went wrong it wouldn’t be strange if it ended with only suffering and no tears.

    Hilea who was hanging her neck with a sad expression asked.

    “What about the archangel’s tears?”

    “Destroyed. “I will probably never come out into the world again.”

    Hilea sighed softly at Lennok’s lie without even putting saliva on his mouth.

    “There was a widespread rumor that Jebeok returned to Kaiushu empty-handed but… haha I like it. From the beginning the goal was to seize or destroy it. This will make it easier to work on Kaiushu. “That’s enough.”

    “It’s Kaiushue work.”

    Lennok’s eyes shined sharply behind his mask.

    “Soryu also said something about a plan to overthrow Kaiushu. “It seems like not only old world relics are hidden in that city.”

    “…I’m sorry but even if you say that I can’t give you specific information.”

    Hilea was not frightened by Lennok’s sharp criticism and answered calmly.

    “It is one of the linked operations that has been going on for quite some time in the West Continent and Soryu was probably also preparing for it.”

    “….”

    “It was definitely my mistake that there was confusion in the process of delivering information but it was by no means not intentionally notifying me. “I just want you to know that.”

    Strangely I thought it would be so easy to let Je Byeok live but there was no need to kill him.

    So was the reason Soryu appeared during the operation because he voluntarily recognized the situation and responded accordingly?

    However it was definitely a matter to think about as to what else was hidden in Kaiushu that was worth paying so much attention to.

    While Lennok was silent in thought Hilea quietly stood up and reached inside the organ pipes to rummage around.

    thud!!

    She took out a long sack placed it on the chapel table and pushed it straight into Lennok.

    “This is the success reward for this operation. It was said that the work of the jungle including the clown’s share was to be delivered separately.”

    Hilea smiled as she stared at Lennok’s mask which was looking at the snail’s handle.

    “Why don’t you open it? “He went around destroying other cities and found some really good stuff.”
