    Between immortality and mortality (7)

    “Oh it’s a story about Victor and the leader….”

    The sight of a young man lowering his head to one side as if he had completely forgotten about the corpse he had just incinerated.

    The clown who had paused as if lost in thought for a moment grinned.

    “Don’t lie.”

    “what?”

    “It’s not that you have something to say to me but rather isn’t there something you want to hear from me?”

    “….”

    “Hehehe since when did the spider who had no idea what was going on in the world start using such cute speech techniques…?”

    The corners of the clown’s mouth were torn apart.

    “I guess I’ll have to ask Freya about this.”

    The Agneta he knew did not have the personality to prolong the introduction like this when saying something.

    A descendant of an ancient species that is so uninterested in the world that it’s not enough to just say what’s needed and then disappear sometimes even forgetting to convey everything.

    That’s why the clown had an intuition that the reason she came out like this was because she had some information she wanted from him.

    It must have been influenced by Freya who is relatively close to Agneta.

    Agneta who was standing still with an expressionless face spoke.

    “I’m sorry to ask you this after seeing you for so long but…”

    “I understand so let’s stop with the useless public affairs.”

    The clown who was laughing turned around without hesitation and walked out of the incinerator.

    “To begin with there’s no way you have any concept of time such as it’s been a while. “Let’s go in and talk.”

    Without hesitation I walk through the complicated back alleys and return to the huge gambling hall where I first came.

    A gambling scene where thousands of people gather together in a huge hall and get drunk on money and entertainment.

    The electronic display boards on the ceiling and walls showed constant flow of dividends and funds all kinds of slot machines and tables rotated and bloody chips were fluttered everywhere.

    The clown suddenly realized that the space he had been occupying was gone and laughed.

    “This is why you shouldn’t play around with the stakes but you got excited and wasted time.”

    “They were the ones who put that priest on the gambling table in the first place. “What are you talking about?”

    “What were you looking at there?”

    The clown who was giggling at Agneta who cannot be seen but whose voice can be heard spoke.

    “Well then there’s no need to explain why I’m here like this.”

    “It’s been over a month. “It seems things are getting better.”

    “Okay. “Now it’s okay to go outside.”

    The clown said this and rubbed his heavily powdered cheek.

    Following the gesture the skin peels off exposing the red-hot flesh underneath.

    The clown grinned blood dripping down his cheeks.

    “As you can see my body is still at this level.”

    “…I roughly know the story about the redistribution of misfortune. Are you still in the process of relieving the side effects?”

    “The work in the jungle was quite a daunting task.”

    The clown grunted.

    “Even if we rob the idiots and idiots gathered here it’s still not enough.”

    It was not for nothing that the clown returned to Tokerfuzz with Reya right after successfully ending the clash between the ascendants in the jungle.

    Tokerfuzz is a large city that is a symbol of gambling entertainment pleasure drinking and dancing.

    Right here the clown was continuing to work on relieving the aftereffects of the reality manipulation illusion he had performed in the jungle.

    “The leader needs to be fully aware of this fact. “If you ever get in touch with me please tell me in detail about my hard work.”

    “To be honest I still don’t know what controlling the total amount of luck means. “Is it okay to just gamble lose moderately and win?”

    “Is that possible? “This is a very delicate work in its own way.”

    As a transcendent illusionist the clown does not define his hierarchy to just one level.

    This is because Geass which appears in the midst of instability where even one’s own hierarchy is not properly established protects the clown’s reason to some extent.

    Considering that most excellent illusionists go crazy at the border between reality and fantasy this is truly a groundbreaking idea and ability.

    However it is also true that the burden before and after use increases when high-ranking power is needed.

    Although I sacrificed several of Glenn’s hearts as gold and handled the operation as a level 8 illusionist.

    The aftereffects of manipulating the hierarchy and the injuries accumulated in battle remained intact on the clown’s body.

    The clown was delicately controlling the amount of luck he had used in this city of gambling and entertainment to alleviate the aftereffects.

    “We adjust the frequency of luck by continuously running probabilities as close to random as possible.”

    By repeatedly testing your luck like gambling you adjust the balance between good luck and bad luck.

    This was a completely opposite action in the jungle where Geas’ abilities were adjusted by forcing luck in the process of raising the hierarchy to level 8.

    The forced ‘good luck’ that raised the hierarchy by forcibly adjusting the scale of the dice was being balanced by ‘bad luck’ through ordinary gambling.

    When I rub my cheek again the blood stops and the clown’s skin returns to its original state.

    “Of course even this cannot relieve all the aftereffects… but we cannot simply suffer the side effects.”

    The clown suddenly turned his head to a corner of the gambling hall and grinned.

    A strange attitude as if he knew where the invisible spider was.

    However Agneta did not react in any way to the clown’s unexpected behavior and changed the topic.

    “I’m not sure either. “Anyway you’re telling me that you’re committing an ugly fraud that goes far beyond human sensibilities right?”

    “How can you say that you don’t understand this when you’re dealing with such a delicate manipulation system of magic?”

    The clown chuckled and laughed.

    “It’s a pity that the sense of balance that is walking the tightrope in the imaginary dimension is so dark in the world. So the leader is probably letting you do as he pleases.”

    “What do you mean?”

    “It’s no big deal. So what is your business?”

    The clown took out a trump card from his pocket sat down at the empty gambling table and asked.

    It was like talking into empty space but surprisingly none of the players sitting at the same table paid any attention to that fact.

    Rather than paying attention to clowns they tend to mutter to themselves pray take medicine and harm themselves.

    Two bloodshot eyes constantly go back and forth between the table and the electronic display board.

    In the midst of all this chaos and madness even if the clown had a conversation with Agneta there was no one in his right mind who could hear or remember it.

    Receive the card thrown by the dealer and replace it with the card you prepared in advance as naturally as breathing.

    Agneta’s answer was heard in the clown’s ears as he quickly completed the full house and put it down.

    “I found traces of the leader.”

    The clown’s hand that was pushing the chip stopped for a moment.

    “…Do you mean traces?”

    “I found footprints from an imaginary dimension. “He probably took the coordinates thinking I would find it.”

    “hmm….”

    Pretending to be lost in thought he doesn’t hesitate to steal a chip from the shabby man who is biting his finger right next to him.

    The man’s fingers who had lost half of his chips in an instant were already covered in blood.

    “It was impossible to contact me but contact was necessary?”

    “I think the doctor thinks so.”

    “I think you need to think about it. “It’s rare that there have been so many plans going on simultaneously across the continent but especially at this time… What did your name say?”

    At that moment a chip on the table rose into the air as if bouncing.

    The clown followed the movement of the chip and turned his gaze to the electronic display board on the other side and laughed.

    A breaking news flashed up in a corner of the electronic display screen showing a huge pillar of darkness bursting out in the middle of an unknown city being broadcast in real time.

    The clown who threw the card muttered as he looked at that scene.

    “Well I guess it’s not a situation where we have to contact each other. All right. First let me collect some relevant information from here.”

    “Then I’ll go. Say hello to Reya.”

    “Wait a minute weren’t you curious about the story of a magician named Victor?”

    The clown stopped Agneta who was about to disappear and waved the chip in his hand leisurely.

    “If you play a game of poker with me I can tell you what happened in a very fun way.”

    “…Are you planning on taking away my luck too?”

    “So it doesn’t feel like that?”

    The clown grumbled and then laughed lightly.

    “Well it’s true that if you gamble with someone as unique as you your adjustments will be quicker.”

    “….”

    “Now that I think about it that friend was also a manipulator like you.”

    The corners of the clown’s mouth rose to both sides as he recognized the momentary sign of a flinch.

    I don’t know the specific circumstances but it was clear that Victor’s presence was as interesting to her as the traces left behind by the leader.

    If you’re careful you might end up with a surprisingly interesting story.

    The clown who quickly gathered up the cards waved the trump card with a leisurely hand gesture.

    “If you let me hang out with him for at least three minutes I can tell you in detail about him?”

    * * *

    Grisha was walking inside the vast Far East branch temple.

    The shape of the Crystal Palace located in the center of the island was truly magnificent as befits its built-up strength and status.

    Even though many places were burned and destroyed by the fierce battle the sense of intimidation from the scale was enormous.

    As she walked through the corridors where other Watchers who had arrived late from the Dominion were busy coming and going she noticed someone and started walking.

    “Dreyfus.”

    A magician wearing an amulet mask stands leaning against the window of a spacious hallway and looks down at the palace in silence.

    Even though he was covering his face he couldn’t hide his somewhat tired look but that feeling didn’t subside in the slightest.

    “It happened faster than I thought. “It looks like you should get plenty of rest.”

    Gap-seon glanced at Grisha and she naturally stood next to him.

    “In fact without your help in this matter I would have suffered a lot of losses.”

    [If it weren’t for Evan it wouldn’t have been possible to even start.]

    Gap-seon shook his head in a somewhat tired voice.

    [He took the risk of infiltrating the temple and found a way to break through the barrier and contact us. All I did was tell you the full story of this incident.]

    Grisha smiled and answered.

    “But it was also your power that helped us reach this island by assisting Lapis’ supernormal abilities.”

    Gapseon used the control code given to him by Lennok to create a hole in the Daejeon system and succeeded in contacting Lapis.

    As soon as Lapis received the call from Gap-seon she decided to immediately reinforce strong observers.

    By combining Lapis’ supernormal abilities and his own talisman Dreyfus succeeded in transferring several observers including Grisha and Liza into space as a group.

    A large-scale space transfer that even the church could barely use through the apostolic technique through human sacrifice.

    Even if the attempt was based on the supernormal abilities of a lighthouse keeper it is as obvious as seeing how much power Gapseon expended to achieve such a feat.

    Even for those with the highest level of ability who have reached level 8 manipulating space to this extent is an act of suicide that erodes the body’s power from the root.

    Even after doing something like that he immediately participated in the battle and dealt with several agents so it was obvious how severe the reaction would be.

    It is no wonder that although he still looks relaxed on the outside he is literally burning up inside.

    “Lapis I know you overextended yourself too. “For the time being no formal operations will be assigned to them.”

    [….]

    “If you want you don’t have to stay on this island and help with the cleanup. Do you have a separate destination in mind?”

    […Yes.]

    Gap-seon answered.

    [But I want to spend some time like this for today.]

    “….”

    [Sometimes there have to be days like this.]

    Grisha followed Gap-seon’s gaze and looked out the window and laughed.

    “It looks like those guys never get tired.”

    At the bottom of the lakeside garden located in the palace courtyard five watchers who were also familiar to her were bickering with each other.

    Two twins and rappers Liza and Evan.

    The five of them were having a heated discussion about what they were so passionate about constantly exchanging magical energy.

    “So it is impossible to maintain a stable state without a synchronization technique. “Even if I learn this it won’t be of much help.”

    “If it’s okay with you two I’d like to at least check the magic flow first.”

    Lennok answered as he touched the area around his bandaged shoulder.

    “I am interested in super fusion techniques. “I’m trying to find out exactly what it feels like.”

    Double resonance complex system unique technique [super fusion].

    A unique technique that transformed two people who were still at the saint level into fully capable individuals of the highest rank.

    During the few days that the watchers who participated in the battle gathered together and rested Lennok was asking the twins for advice on whether he could learn the fusion technique.

    Even as Lennok who has encountered all kinds of mysteries across the continent he has personally witnessed techniques that interfere with the hierarchy itself less than five times.

    The clown’s illusion that deceives the hierarchy itself was too gambling and unstable for Lennok to attempt.

    The super fusion used by the twins is worth learning although the conditions and risks are exaggerated.

    If you find the right conditions and partner it will be a technique that can greatly raise Lennok’s rank and power.

    Lennok was thinking about that and was asking if he could teach Pio and Geo the principles of super fusion techniques.

    “The super fusion technique itself seemed closer to a foundation created by a combination of two systems rather than the vision of two people.”

    Lennok asked.

    “Simultaneously implementing higher-level mutation and synchronization techniques through fusion. “I guess that’s the most powerful weapon you two have right?”

    If the super fusion technique itself was the vision or ultimate intention of each of the mutant and synchronous systems Lennok would not have been so hasty in asking about it.

    However Lennok was asking to be informed of the principle itself which realized the result of fusion which is technically impossible through mutation and synchronization.

    No matter how unusual and heterogeneous a technique may be it is compatible with other systems in terms of principles and theories.

    In that sense the super-fusion technique created by extracting the essence of both mutation and synchronization systems will require a deep understanding of the systems in itself.

    Lennok planned to gain some understanding of the techniques used by the twins through his understanding of the super fusion technique.

    “Well if you put it that way there’s nothing I can’t tell you…”

    P.O nodded with an expression of confusion.

    “I can’t actually demonstrate it. You know right? “This is a gamble that we have to rely on a lot of luck every time we use it.”

    “Hmph I can’t go up any higher because I’m using a technique that relies half on luck.”

    Liza snorted and said.

    “Evan why don’t you learn my crystallization ability!! “For a weak wizard like you just learning these abilities will be of great help!!”

    “Lisa are you out of your mind?”

    Lafferd who was sitting by the lakeside quietly reading a prayer turned his head.

    “Your ability is not something that can be explained in the technical field in the first place. “You’re sure you still don’t know that right?”

    “Do I need to know?”

    “….”

    “Why are you trying to learn super fusion techniques in the first place?”

    Geo asked with a slightly indifferent expression.

    “Contrary to what you think this is not a very useful or powerful technique. “We just managed to overcome a limit that we couldn’t solve on our own in a way that we could.”

    “hmm.”

    “It requires thorough preparation in advance and even so you have to risk your life every time you attempt it. “There is no way a wizard of your level wouldn’t know this.”

    A borderline that can only be reached by pursuing the contradictions of physical variation and mind-body synchrony change and stability to the limit.

    It is a miracle that two people born with the twins have learned different types of magic to level 7.

    In addition he has a strong determination to overcome the hierarchy even if it means risking his life.

    It is something that requires risking one’s life while having unwavering faith that encompasses everything including environment and talent.

    But even so Lennok did not want to hear the principles of the fusion technique from them for no reason.

    “Same.”

    “What do you mean?”

    Lennok said after looking back at the lake.

    “It means that there is a limit that I must overcome even if it means risking my life.”

    “….”

    Lennok’s calm words made the observers quiet for a moment.

    Rafferd muttered in disbelief.

    “Even a wizard with talent like you has those concerns.”

    “I know. “This is a bit unexpected.”

    Liza laughed and tapped Lennok on the shoulder.

    “Honestly while participating in this operation I thought this is what the Ascendants must have felt like when they were human!!”

    “….”

    “Oh no one is going to refute that…?”

    Looking at Liza’s shaken face Lennok silently massaged her numb shoulder.

    “It cannot be denied that the value of the technique itself and the risk of transmitting it are significant. “If both people don’t agree I don’t think I’m going to force it.”

    “no. “It doesn’t matter.”

    Geo shook his head calmly.

    “My brother owes you his life. Regardless of whether you can actually use it I will teach you basic tips and magic flow.”

    “This bastard is trying to secretly pretend to be my older brother again…”

    Even though Pio grumbled he silently explained the principles of the super fusion technique to Geo.

    “The important thing is to set the flow of magical power in a multiple of 2 or 8 directions and to observe the magical energy of the two people required for fusion from three different aspects….”

    “In addition to achieving unity we must consider stability and return. For that it is necessary to remember the original source of the different magic flows.”

    “…I have no idea what it is.”

    The explanation was so complex that Lafferd who had been listening with interest hesitated.

    “If you haven’t learned this system’s techniques it will be difficult to even understand the words.”

    “It’s okay because you and Liza won’t even remember in the first place.”

    “…Isn’t that a compliment?”

    While the observers were bickering among themselves Lennok nodded.

    “I guess I get it roughly.”

    “Huh already?”

    “Then let’s try it right away.”

    The other twins’ expressions were dumbfounded by Lennok’s unconventional declaration.

    “With whom? “You’re not going to try that with the other observers here are you?”

    “Calm down at least unless the opponent has mastered a technique similar to or compatible with yours-”

    “Don’t worry. “I’m not crazy enough to try something like that with a complete stranger.”

    Ugh!!!

    At the same time that Lennok raised his magic power a whitish figure appeared behind him and began to rise.

    Lafferd who was looking at that scene jumped up from his seat.

    The dog-headed giant’s eyes were wide open which was rare.

    “Woe incarnate…!!! “Since when?!”

    “It was shown once in this operation as well as in the Hanghasa Labyrinth.”

    Lennok laughed wiping the sweat from his forehead.

    “Twice is enough to imitate.”

    Of course what Lennoch has created now is not a proper incarnation like the one used by Rafferd.

    Rather than being a true avatar that refers to another self it is a type of spirit body created by vaporizing magical energy and capturing it with intention.

    I wouldn’t have been able to even attempt it if I hadn’t acquired a sense of command and martial arts through the decisive battle with Madrich Onion.

    But this alone was enough for Lennok to conduct the experiment he wanted.

    “…You’re crazy.”

    Rafferd muttered in an embarrassed voice.

    “Are you trying to merge with Hwashin rather than someone else? “If I did something like that neither my spirit nor my spirituality would last long…!!”

    “But it’s worth a try.”

    As Lennok said that he rolled up his left arm and held it out without hesitation.

    Since it is not a properly completed incarnation it can be destroyed at any time.

    It would be a great place to safely test whether the concept of fusion itself is valid for Lennok himself.

    At the same time Lennok’s body overlapped with the Avatar’s left arm floating behind his back.

    Paaaa!!

    At that moment a dazzling light burst from the lakeside.
