Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 479



The land running through the sea (2)

A ceremony to select an apostle that is carried out in extreme secrecy by the church.

Jindun’s legacy believed to be hidden in the Far East Branch.

And the existence of a mirror that reflects the will to exist as stated in the paper on the projection of existence.

All three reasons at stake in this matter are things that Lennok cannot easily overlook so Lennok is also willing to cooperate as much as possible when necessary.

However it is natural for him to become more cautious after hearing Pio’s plan to clone Lennok.

It’s not surprising that Pio a shapeshifter participated in the operation but why would Lennok’s physical information be needed?

Pio who saw that Lennok’s expression had turned sour took a step back.

“Oh if the word ‘cloning’ bothers you it doesn’t matter if you say ‘mutation’. Anyway since I participated in this operation it would be much easier to use this as the main goal of the operation.”

“It’s a change….”

Now that I think about it it was said that Pio’s original magic is a mutant ability.

“It seems like you can’t believe it. Okay take a good look first.”

Pio shrugged his shoulders and stepped back lightly stretching his body and quickly raising his magic power.

Whiik!!

As soon as he grabbed his hair and spun it around the top of his neck transformed into the shape of a giant dog’s head.

“…!!”

From the neck down P.O has the body shape of an ordinary human but from the neck up the face has changed into that of a rapper.

“I am a transmutationist meaning I am a magician who changes the form of objects or living things.”

“….”

“It’s not difficult to simply put on a skin arbitrarily for your appearance but to achieve perfect camouflage you need to know your opponent in more detail.”

As soon as he shakes his hands and stands up P.O’s face returns to normal.

“…Next time please ask in a more normal way.”

Rafferd who was looking at the scene with a look of disbelief turned his head.

Judging from Lafferd’s reaction it appears that it wasn’t a very pleasant experience.

“But anyway since it is a technique that changes one’s appearance it is difficult to use it without the other person’s biometric information.”

“I see….”

Lennok nodded realizing why Lapis had included Pio in this operation without the slightest hesitation.

If Pio can freely disguise himself as Lennok and other observers what he can do during the infiltration process will greatly increase.

This means that it is not just about making the appearance more plausible but is also about imitating the body’s skeleton vital reactions and even physical abilities through mutation.

Lennok chuckled and obediently held out his wrist.

“I know what you’re thinking so let’s give it a try. However there is a high possibility that it will not have a significant effect.”

“Hehe what are you looking at me for? No matter how great a magician is if he gave his permission everything would be fine with the mysterious magic… ugh!!”

Puzzle!!

The moment Fio was licking his lips and trying to grab Lennok’s wrist and raise his magic power all of Fio’s hair stood on end and his whole body convulsed.

“Gegegeg gegegeng…!!”

Pio who was shaking as if an electric shock had struck the top of his head opened his eyes wide and fell backwards trembling.

“….”

At the completely unexpected turn of events Lapard who was watching from the side opened his mouth wide and turned his gaze to Gapseon which was staring blankly at the coastline with his back in the distance.

Lennok quietly shook his head as he looked at Pio who fell down with his tongue stuck out.

“I told you it wouldn’t work.”

A transcendent talent that Lennoch took the penalty and set it himself.

Among them his talent for targeted resistance far surpasses Lennok’s own hierarchy.

Resistance that cannot be detected by all kinds of curses targeting magic or various targeting spells.

It is natural that Lennok who has mastered his related talents to the limit is not captured by other magicians’ scans.

It would be possible for a magician of Pio’s level to use force to manipulate Lennok’s biological information but the more he tried the greater the backlash would be.

“…Fuck this is ridiculous!!”

P.O jumped up from his seat and screamed.

“There were cases where variation was impossible but there were no cases where it could not be measured at all!!”

The case is different from the vampires for whom Lennoc was able to remove resistance by directly giving blood.

Unless we know how much information Pio needs for mutation it is close to impossible for Lennok to arbitrarily eliminate the resistance itself.

“It looks like collecting information for mutation is a type of mutation technique is that correct?”

“…yes.”

“Then it probably won’t help no matter what you do. “Give up and start.”

Giving Evan’s physical information was not particularly risky to Lennok.

Lennok’s real blood was not given like when receiving a medical examination from Murphy but Evan’s appearance body odor and skin magic pattern were all more like randomly created dummies.

However it is difficult for Lennok to convey it to Pio through the spell due to the target resistance ability.

“I can’t fucking do this….”

Pio frowned and muttered.

“I was thinking of disguising my face as your face Evan to draw attention and give you time to get inside.”

“….”

Are you planning to take on Evan’s form and create the perfect alibi and timing for Lennok?

If he could mutate and imitate Evan’s presence and magical power it would be more than enough to fool the priests of the church.

Considering that Lennok’s idea doesn’t sound too bad it looks like he’s been using his mutation ability quite skillfully…

“Okay then how about this!!”

Pio stood up from his seat and took a stance keeping some distance between himself and Lennok.

He must have been quite familiar with bare-handed fighting and even to Lennok the poomsae of lowering the center of gravity and maintaining spacing were very skillful.

At the same time Pio made a hand sign with his other hand and this time began to cast the spell on himself.

Ugh…!!

The form of an unknown magic sentence floating on the forehead.

P.O. who quickly finished chanting took his stance again and said.

“Mutation system’s unique technique [Mimicking of Natural Enemy]. “It is a technique that imitates the strength of an opponent through direct combat.”

Lennok who finally understood the meaning of what Pio said let out a laugh.

“So let’s have a fight here and now?”

“Originally it is a technique created to overcome a crisis situation by imitating the opponent’s characteristics or strengths in a tense situation.”

P.O grinned and tapped his forehead.

“It may be less efficient than receiving biometric information properly but won’t it meet the minimum requirements for mutation?”

Wow!!

As I ran down my feet for a long time the sand on the shore fluttered around exploding sand dust.

“A battle wizard who is counted on one hand in the eyes of Blue. “Let’s check your skills now.”

Lennok couldn’t help but laugh lightly at Pio’s bold words.

There were many people who argued to see Lennok’s skills but this was the first time someone asked to spar for this reason.

“good.”

Lennok who tapped his feet and entered the sandy beach opened his mouth.

“We don’t have much time so let’s set some conditions.”

Draw up your magical energy and pour it into the sand beneath your feet.

“This sparring is purely to collect the biometric information necessary for mutation. From what I understand of natural enemy mimicry avoiding it won’t help right?”

Pio smiled and nodded.

“That’s correct Evan. So you don’t have to run away too much just to win?”

“I will not move more than three steps until the procedure is over.”

Lennok said and tapped a nearby pile of sand with his foot.

“….”

[….]

“No there’s no need to go that far…?”

At Lennok’s absurd declaration not only P.O. and Raffard but even Gap-seon fell silent.

This was because what Lennok had just said sounded even more absurd than what Pio had said about the enemy’s mutation technique.

To that extent what Lennok just said sounds more like arrogance than confidence but it is no different from a declaration that is not strange.

What does it mean that in a battle between superhumans one side gives itself a penalty of not moving from its position?

An assertion that cannot be made without the certainty that one can completely crush the opponent from the front and even with that confidence it is difficult to make.

It is natural that the atmosphere becomes strange due to Lennok’s calm words which are in fact no different from provocation.

However Lennok did not just say those words without any calculation.

‘Because it’s something I’ve always done.’

Because he has not had proper mobility for quite some time Lennok is having a hard time fighting without moving.

Since not being able to move didn’t feel like a major constraint it was better to use that fact and get the necessary work done as quickly as possible.

If I hadn’t felt that Pio’s mutation technique was useful in the first place I wouldn’t have started it.

“…Well okay. Because I was the one who spoke first. “Can I understand this as permission?”

P.O also quickly adjusted his expression and increased his magic power.

The moment he took his stance and lowered his center of gravity P.O.’s left arm turned into a giant bat’s wing and flapped.

As the one-armed wing stirred the air sand dust began to fly everywhere.

“Then let’s go…!!”

Whoa…!!!

The moment he thought that the sight of Pio with his wings spread wide was hidden between the bat wings he was already waving his fist right in front of Lennok’s eyes.

Although it cannot be faster than magical power detection it is a weapon that precisely targets the gap in the sensory sphere.

P.O.’s strike was blocked by a several-meter sand barrier raised beneath his feet.

The barrier which is solidified by fluidly mixing magical energy between sand grains is stronger than most steel plates.

However even after seeing Lennok’s reaction P.O. did not dodge and instead swung his hand.

Tududududuong!!!

The pistol which extends like a cannonball between the shoulders twists for a moment in front of the barrier passes straight through and stops right in front of Lennok.

A fierce force that goes beyond simply threatening the wizard and can crush and pierce the outer wall of the shield with just its aftermath.

Crunch…!!

P.O laughed as if he was embarrassed.

“Hey… are you really not going to avoid me?”

Instead of responding to that comment Lennok looked closely at Pio’s fist that was right in front of him.

The fist that instantly pierced the sand barrier that surpassed the steel plate changed from a human fist to a shape similar to a mace.

“Is it possible to mutate into a non-living form? “I guess it’s not impossible to weaponize the whole body.”

“Continue…!!”

A huge gun barrel protruded from inside the forearm which had taken the shape of a mace and a light flashed inside the muzzle.

bang!!

Immediately after the sand barrier burst from the inside exposing Lennok’s body to the front.

Before the obstacle between the two had completely disappeared Pio leaned forward and rotated his magic.

Kagagagak!!!

An arm transformed into a beast’s head grabs the shield and the whip of the spine protruding from the lower back is aimed at the rear.

The booster that explodes from the bottom of the leg pushes the body forward and the wings of the membrane rising behind the shoulder rotate and change direction in the air.

A state where one can quickly change all parts of one’s body into the form of an animal firearm or weapon and freely change direction accelerate explosion and control recoil.

This is evidence that Inwai’s fighting methods have been honed over a long period of time in two areas: rational calculation and instinctive intuition.

I guessed that he had completed the hierarchy through the mutation technique but he was probably a very good warrior himself.

It is absurd that a mutagenist who has to mutate his own body to fight is weak in direct combat ability.

Doo doo doo!!!

The violently swinging fist splits and melts into three blades in the air.

The moment the gun barrel rising from the elbow burst into flames the air flow violently stirred creating a small storm.

As they pound on the shield and search for loopholes incredibly strange and intense movements begin to materialize one after another.

The composition is so one-sided that it is hard to believe that Lennok is standing still and receiving all the attacks.

“Gotcha…!!”

The moment I thought Pio’s hand stretched out like a sword and grabbed and twisted Lennok’s collarbone.

Tdu-duk-duk…!!

A pile of sand the size of a fist covers P.O’s fingers which have turned into sharp claws and stops them.

A perfect response that would be virtually impossible if not recognized in advance.

Pio’s expression distorted as he realized that he had stabbed the intended loophole and Lennok chuckled.

“Now it’s my turn.”

At that moment there was a shock that felt as if the entire sandy beach was tilting.

Kwaaaa!!

The huge sand wave that rose at Pio’s feet picked out his body ate it and dragged it down to the ground.

The sandy beach with its mouth wide open like the mouth of a living animal shakes and engulfs the body of the superman like a hell of ants.

“Ugh!! “What is this?”

Panicked Pio quickly kicks his feet and summons an air current to bounce his body over his head but as if he was waiting a pile of sand stands up and surrounds him.

The wind that burst from Pio’s body rotated along the sand pillar that stood on the shore growing in size.

It began to grow in size to the extent that it spread to the end of the ocean.

The situation suddenly grew in scale to the point where Lafferd began to glance at the distant horizon with an anxious expression.

“Master Dreyfus are you okay?”

[This is truly an incredible magical power manipulation ability.]

I answered without taking my eyes off the sand column that was rushing in.

[If you ask me it’s not even a type of magic at all. Is it possible to bring the battle structure to this point just by manipulating the flow of particles?…]

Lafferd seemed not very interested in sparring as he already knew Lennok’s skills but Dreyfus was different.

As an 8th level magician he can clearly see how technically excellent the exchange between Fio and Rennok has been.

It goes without saying that despite being a monk Pio’s skills in manipulating magic and dealing with the aftereffects are comparable to those of any other magician.

What was more surprising than that was the fact that Lennok was able to counter Pio’s offensive with just the catalyst of sand.

Considering that Evan who had heard rumors was a flame-type magician this means that he was actually continuing the battle without even using his real magic properly.

Even Lennok himself never broke his promise not to move from that spot.

At this point does it even make sense to continue sparring while maintaining the combat structure as Pio said?

P.O probably doesn’t know that either.

As if that thought was correct a flash of light flashed between the sand pillars and at the same time a strong wind blew spreading out to both sides and forming into the wings of a great cliff.

A huge bird which used the propulsion of flying backwards from the sky to the ground to sink its floating body in an instant raised its head and looked at Lennok.

Wedge!!

It closes its sharp beak tightly and presses down on the lenok with wind pressure as it descends.

A sandstorm blew in from all directions completely blocking the sight of the two people.

What appears in the landscape beyond where the dust has cleared is the figure of P.O. who has already returned to his original form.

The emblem engraved on Pio’s forehead making a hand sign with both hands was shining brightly.

“The first condition for natural enemy mimicry has been met. Then let’s go!!”

Paaaa!!

At that moment Pio’s body bursts into dazzling light and begins to transform into Evan’s face and physique right in front of Lennok.

A strange atmosphere where expression is somewhat expressionless but the impression is hard to recognize.

Would this be what it would feel like if someone else looked at Evan’s face in front of their eyes?

Of course in Evan’s case it was an identity he created arbitrarily but he had no idea that he would really succeed.

“Oooh…!! “I’ve just received basic physical information but the magic rotation speed is ridiculous…!!”

“….”

Even Lennok was looking at Pio who had imitated Evan with a curious expression.

“Okay at this rate we can be more certain without having to use the transformation technique right now…!!”

The moment when Pio looked down at his fingertips with a slightly excited expression and was about to take a step forward towards Lennok with a repentant smile.

Quadang!!

I tripped over my own feet and hit my head on the sand.

“….”

“….”

A strange silence flowing everywhere in an instant.

P.O who looked up blankly with a face covered in sand tilted his head.

“…Huh?”
