Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 52



“It would have been around here.”

Lennok who had been to a place other than the library for the first time in a long time looked around.

The weather is getting colder every day.

The air that had been sharply grazing my skin had suddenly become a cold chill that was digging into the inside of my collar.

An empty shopping mall. Lennok suddenly stopped as he saw his reflection behind the opaque glass.

“……..”

The image of a young man with dirty hair wearing a rag and looking at the mirror with bloodshot eyes is now gradually fading away.

Lennok who had been wearing a blazer at most had a thick trench coat hanging on his shoulders and his worn-out sneakers had been replaced with thin shoes.

When I put on the Black Palace workshop gloves that were a gift from Panoa on both hands I couldn’t see any exposed flesh except my face.

If he were to put a mask on his face he would be no different from Dylan.

‘The surroundings are quite empty. ‘It’s different from what I heard.’

Information on warlocks handed over to Zordon.

Among them I found a street where the most moderate faction did business but it was difficult to even find people passing by.

A full month has passed since the inspection began so I thought things would slowly return to their original state but I guess I was wrong.

Not a single door in the building is open and even the windows are tightly closed with unknown stoppers denying access to the outside.

Shuttered stores and unnamed exhibition halls. Only a clothing store lined with shabby mannequins welcomes Lennok’s gaze.

It seemed like the city government was strangling the underworld more powerfully than expected.

I had no choice but to summon my magic power and look in all directions.

It reads visual information from the entire street at once and quickly checks vital reactions.

The sound of clattering shoes. A soft breath. And a series of people approaching quickly from a distance.

It seemed like these people could answer Lennok’s questions.

As I was waiting with my arms crossed a group of people appeared through the unlit alley.

People wearing suits and wearing silver-colored badges near their collarbones.

They are civil servants of Balkan city governments.

And Lennok’s brow twitched slightly when he noticed a short hunched old man standing in the center.

Because he was a familiar face and a person I never thought I would meet in a place like this.

The other person’s eyes widened as if he recognized Lennok’s face.

The old man stopped within earshot of each other and began to speak with difficulty.

“I never thought I’d see you here again.”

“I feel the same way Senator. “I hope you’ve had a good time so far.”

After hearing Lennok’s calm answer District Councilor Mayer twitched his lips.

“…You still have a good way of speaking. “I’ve been hearing stories about you too.”

“……”

“This is the hottest burning star on this street these days right? I heard they destroyed an entire gang. Even my friends who work under me told me to be careful of wizards.”

“It appears the rumors are exaggerated.”

Although he showed an unbecoming humility Mayer did not even pretend to listen.

“As expected my insight was not wrong. “I should have held on tighter then.”

Those eyes overflowing with greed don’t seem to have changed at all since then.

Lennok had no choice but to speak first.

“So what are you doing here?”

“I still remember what you said back then. “It was the most impressive piece of advice I’ve ever heard from a friend younger than my son.”

“……”

Are you not planning on listening at all?

Mayer who saw Lennok’s embarrassed face began to quietly continue the conversation.

“The explanation is late. I have a seat on the committee that oversees this inspection. “The reason I came here now is because of follow-up processing after the inspection was over.”

“…You mean the committee?”

That’s quite surprising.

Does this mean that this greedy old man has already earned a spot on the city government’s schedule?

People say they were lucky but in the political world even such luck is not something that can be taken carelessly.

I don’t know what method he used but it seemed like he had begun to solidify a fairly solid political position in that short period of time.

“okay. If I’m going to have talented young people like you under my wing wouldn’t I need a more convincing nameplate? But it seems like you have raised the price significantly in the meantime.”

“You need to work harder.”

As Lennok sneered Mayer chuckled.

Since I have a good opinion of him from the beginning I don’t think anything of jokes like this.

Lennok narrowed his eyes as he mentally assessed the distance.

‘Maybe we can really work together.’

Although it is impossible for Lennok to connect with key figures in the city government now wouldn’t it be possible to at least prepare for the future?

Although Mayer is not young he has proven that he can still take a slice of the narrow power pie.

I don’t know what kind of ambition he had and how he challenged power but there is no reason to let him be an enemy.

That’s why Lennok honestly told me the purpose of his coming here.

“I came here because I had some business to do with the warlocks. “I knew that there were people who gathered here to do business but it looks like they couldn’t avoid the inspection.”

“It will probably be difficult to find other magicians here for a while.”

Are you saying that even though you personally participated in the interrogation?

Mayer paid no attention to Lennok’s gaze and muttered as if he were talking about someone else’s business.

“The will of the higher-ups is stronger than you think. “There must be a more important reason than meets the eye.”

“Is your goal to prevent magicians from making profits?”

“well. There could be many reasons. “Either they don’t pay taxes at all on the money they earn or they try to bring magicians hidden behind closed doors into the arms of the city government.”

“……”

“It’s none of my business.”

Mayer laughed in a low voice.

Greed shining again in his eyes. Lennok seeing those naked emotions let out a light sigh.

He may act like a foolish person who is only interested in immediate success but he knows that this is actually a wise attitude in the current situation.

Do not seek information and knowledge that exceeds your authority.

Even if they are interested they do not show it.

Even if he were to bite all the other public officials waiting behind him it would be difficult to get a good answer.

Lennok who had neatly put aside his thoughts nodded.

“Then I’ll just leave.”

“Are you planning to visit those friends?”

“Even if I left to avoid inspection I wouldn’t have left the city.”

I have no intention of giving up easily over something like this.

closed world.

Lennok was prepared to do whatever it took to hear about the theory that Aris had said was a useless hypothesis.

“Whoa….”

Mayer sighed as if there was nothing he could do and whispered in a low voice.

“Searching in the 40th district will be in vain. “Let’s go outside more.”

“…..thank you.”

“You know why I’m telling you this right?”

He smiles showing his yellow teeth.

“Let’s have a drink together sometime soon.”

“……”

Lennok who was looking at Mayer leaving the street with the government officials he brought with him lightly shrugged his shoulders.

Unlike the time we met in front of the Intellectual Property Office he looked much more lively as he moved around with his dozen aides.

I don’t know why he decided to take power at such a late age but it must be important that he is achieving results.

Even for that reason Lennok did not just ignore the man named Mayer.

Right now he was unilaterally courting Lennok but no one could know what would happen next.

Thinking so Lennoc adjusted his coat collar and turned his back.

‘It’s an outside area…’

There was also a story about warlocks living in the off-duty area in the material Zordon gave me.

Before going I thought it would be a good idea to stop by Jenny’s bar and announce my destination.

foggy area

“oh…..”

“and…..”

“…What are you two doing?”

It’s been almost a month since I visited Jenny’s bar.

As soon as I entered the bar feeling a strange sense of longing I made eye contact with Sebastian who was sitting at the bar and talking.

Almost at the same time Jenny turned her gaze to Lennok.

The two people let out strange exclamations as if they had made a promise.

When Lennok asked with a frown Jenny answered with a slightly awkward expression.

“Ban what on earth have you been doing all this time?”

“what?”

“There’s something about magic… it’s a little different.”

“……”

When I glanced back at Sebastian’s face I saw that his expression was slightly frozen.

As both of them knew how to use magic to some extent they felt Lennok’s growth just a little bit.

Lennok who had nothing to say twitched his mouth and immediately sat down next to Sebastian.

I was about to take the glass handed to me and have a drink but Sebastian quietly held out a business card from next to me.

I held out my hand thinking I had sold a new business card but I burst out laughing when I realized that there was a piece of paper hidden behind the business card.

“Hey man.”

Jenny who had noticed Sebastian’s trick like a ghost looked down at him with cold eyes.

“Are you out of your mind?”

“Hmm I’m also human so I can’t control my greed.”

“I can tolerate manipulating other people’s customers but doing it in front of me is crossing the line.”

“It looks like the peninsula is now ready to move up to higher ground. “Don’t you need a partner who matches that?”

“You’re not saying that my abilities are lacking are you?”

For a moment the two people’s gaze turned sharp but then they casually clinked their glasses and started talking again.

The topic was again about the movements of the city government.

“The inspections are continuing longer than expected. “It’s getting harder and harder to read the city council’s thoughts.”

“After the agreement the external stance and internal policy have completely changed. “We may need to involve more internal stakeholders.”

“How much money have you spent so far? If this doesn’t work it won’t work until the end. “Aren’t these people whose lives are most precious to them?”

“What’s new?”

“All the magicians connected to my line are going crazy right now. At least it has become very difficult for magicians who are not affiliated with an organization and move alone to obtain equipment and consumables…”

“Well this way…”

As Jenny said that she glanced at Lennok who had a sour expression on his face.

What can I say when there is a monster here who started from scratch with no equipment or bare hands successfully completed all kinds of requests and even took down a gang?

Rather it is surprising that Lennok’s outfit is changing little by little after coming this far.

“…Except for one person the situation is generally difficult.”

“I think I know who it is without you having to say who it is.”

“You keep playing around….”

At that time I heard the sound of someone coming down from the back of the bar.

A somewhat short and rough gait. A short shadow compared to the average adult.

A boy with a sullen expression and black hair stuck his face out into the smoking bar.

“The bounty thief Jenny mentioned…..”

The boy who opened his mouth in a childish voice made eye contact with Lennok and frowned subtly.

Lennok also looked at the boy’s face and grinned.

“It’s been almost a month. How are you?”

“…Thanks.”

Bloodmage boy Rayan Eiter responded stiffly and put down the thick iron file he was holding in his hand on the bar.

Tuk!

“I traced the blood traces in the order listed in the directory and organized my whereabouts. Of the 48 people 24 died. Three unconscious. “There are 8 survivors.”

“There are 3 people empty?”

“It’s hard to track them because they’re not human. “I wrote down roughly what sub-race it is so check it out.”

Rayan’s face looked very tired as he said that but Jenny mercilessly began to evaluate what he had done on the spot.

As she flipped through the files she stopped at a certain point and opened her mouth.

“Hey kid.”

“…Why again? what. “I did my best.”

“The whereabouts of the deceased are not properly organized. “Are you kidding me?”

“All you have to do is find the body. “Why is it important where he died?”

“Are you saying that? “I’m sure we talked about it separately when I entrusted this to you.”

“……..”

Rayan keeps his mouth shut wondering if he’s saying something wrong and Jenny’s words continue mercilessly.

“Besides I warned you so many times but it’s already been two days overdue right? “I know that out of the promised compensation you will receive only a small amount.”

“No that’s really….”

Lennok shook his head as he watched the two people bickering like children.

Although it was the first time he had seen it in a month it was familiar to Lennok who had been in constant contact with Jenny as if he had seen it every day.

Rayan who lost his job during the city government’s inspection followed Lennok’s advice and evacuated safely and then came to Jenny to do the same freelance work.

Rather than having heard her name by chance it seems that the rumor about Lennok who has recently become famous in this area had trickled down to the bar but in any case Jenny had the ability to give the boy a decent job as well.

That’s how the blood wizard became the broker’s customer.

As a competent broker she would never ignore a boy just because he was a customer. Rather he was just absorbed in ripping off the stubborn boy’s money day after day in useless places.

It’s not that I don’t understand how she feels since she has nothing to regret but now she has to take on another freelance job as a complete novice.

I don’t have good physical ability and blood magic is too inefficient to be used as a combat ability so even if it’s a light request it’s burdensome to entrust it to me.

Since he is young enough to not even be skilled at using firearms it would be difficult to complete a proper request without relying on magic.

At least they were assisting with bounty hunting by taking advantage of the special characteristics of blood magic and tracking the movements of those with bounties but even that seemed like a process of getting used to it for the boy.

“It doesn’t matter to me whether you are a blood mage or not. If you do your job well. He’s a drunk and a bad person but for me someone who is good at work is the best. okay?”

“Okay….”

Lennok stood up as he watched the boy scratch his cheek with an embarrassed expression.

Sebastian who was stirring whiskey next to him looked up at him.

“Are you planning to go already?”

“okay. “Tell Jenny I’m heading to the off-duty area.”

Even if you sit here for a long time there isn’t much to do.

It’s been a while since I stopped by and just wanted to mention where he was planning to go.

Moreover the attention of other guests who were slowly starting to recognize Lennok was also annoying.

It was also a hassle that people who previously didn’t pay attention to his comings and goings from the bar were now watching his every move.

Sebastian called out to Lennok who was about to leave the bar.

“Do you remember what you got from solving Ottable’s request?”

“what?”

“Please contact me anytime if you need anything. “You might need a trusty Rottweiler when you’re traveling around an off-duty area.”

“……..”

As I listened to Sebastian I immediately remembered something.

Was it also about the bike design you got from Madam?

Lennok laughed at those words and immediately turned his head.

I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t attracted to the means of transportation but it wasn’t an immediate regret or necessity.

Moreover considering Lennok’s devastating athleticism he may need to develop additional riding assistance magic in order to drive the bike.

It was a different problem from sitting in the driver’s seat and quietly pressing the accelerator.

After leaving the bar Lennok headed straight toward the undeveloped area.

The materials I received from Jorden included various maps here and there so I didn’t have much trouble getting my bearings.

50th district. A lawless area beyond the scope of city government inspections.

I once received a request from the Dry Plains to subdue pollutants but the direction I’m going in now is very different from there.

A foggy area where the scenery before your eyes begins to appear blurry.

A moist meadow filled with moisture that makes you step on moss.

It was a ruin that was different from anything Lennok had already experienced with only the remnants of an undeveloped and abandoned civilization remaining.

A strange scene of a half-built but abandoned four-lane road coexisting with a green field unfolded before Lennok’s eyes.

The moisture that wet the tip of his nose added to his discomfort but Lennok calmly observed his surroundings with an indifferent face.

‘According to the data it must have been around here.’

If the data provided by Zordon is accurate there is a small research center created by a group of warlocks somewhere in this area.

This is an unofficial facility built with the sponsorship of Falmouth Corporation which mainly deals with artificial intelligence. Research is being conducted to gradually develop the intelligence of artificial life forms by studying chimeras and homunculi.

However in addition to bioethics issues there were rumors that actual humans were being used as test subjects so it was officially closed down.

Yes officially.

‘Of course there’s no way they would have just listened to the city government’s advice and closed down.’

Lennok thought as he raised his magic power.

Compared to before the flow of magical power was infinitely smooth and rapid.

The pulse of magical power resounding like a heartbeat spread slowly but surely in all directions absorbing information from all directions in an instant.

Lennok who was embracing the sensation of extending across the empty plain and returning like an echo stopped at some point and his eyes lit up.

It’s hard to see because it’s obscured by stuffy humidity and fog but it’s clear.

A strangely distorted haze. It looks empty but a strange amount of heat is felt beyond it.

It’s here.

When I stretched out five fingers and grasped the air a strange sound rang out along with a subtle vibration as if something invisible was caught.

Wow….

A noise like a rusty hinge turning.

A black mist flows out from beyond the empty landscape as if trying to resist Lennok’s magic but Lennok just scoffs and twists his fingers.

Wow!!

The magical power that stretched out between the fingers grabbed hold of the air and broke it and something that could not withstand the strong will was shattered revealing a hidden space.

Kaaaa!!

With the sharp noise of the window breaking something inside rushed towards Lennok as if it had been waiting.

“Kahaaaaa!!”

A bizarre creature whose flesh is loose as if its entire body has been stretched.

Three arms and one leg. He has something similar to a prosthetic leg attached to his hip and a wolf head dangles from his shoulder.

chimera? Homunculus?

Either way it seemed clear that they were not normal creatures.

By slightly bending my left arm I immediately increased my magic power.

[Lightning Vortex]

Weeeeeeeee!!!

A torrent of bright blue electricity rotating around the elbow crashed into the monster’s abdomen.

Kwajijijijik!!

With a loud sound like a blender spinning the monster’s entire body was pulverized into the whirlpool and turned into a handful of dust.

What followed were colorful strange monsters running towards Lennok.

Lennok shot his magic downward as he watched them approaching each making inexplicable screams.

Wow!!

[Aqua Buster]

The moisture in the fog quickly turns into a huge amount of water and pours down.

[Ice Round]

The created puddle of water instantly turns into ice tying the monsters.

When the whip of gravity pulled out from there was twisted the upper bodies of the monsters whose lower bodies were frozen strangely folded backwards and were pulled out.

Uzijijijik!!

Lastly the unique magic of the Thorburn school that is fired at an unusually large giant approaching from afar.

[Military thunder]

Quaaaaa!!

A ball of lightning as large as a car crashed down on the giant’s head lighting up the entire area and burning his body with overwhelming heat.

A new bundle of magic that proves your efforts and growth.

The monsters that were already running beyond the hidden space were being burned to pieces with their limbs completely torn apart.

Field encounter

Lennok who wiped the bodily fluids off his coat with an indifferent expression nodded in satisfaction.

‘I’m sure.’

Seeing newly created magic like Aqua Buster Lightning Vortex working properly brings a happy smile to my face.

Is this how an engineer feels when he confirms that his work which he worked hard to create is working well?

Moreover that wasn’t the only thing I gained from digging into Eden’s research journal.

‘In particular the power of lightning-type magic has increased tremendously.’

For nearly a month Lennok did not just look at Eden’s research journal and imitate the magic.

He was attempting to dig into the roots of the Thorburn school’s unique magic understand its tone and principles and apply it as a whole to his own unique magic.

As a result Lennok succeeded in incorporating the imagery and techniques inherent in it into his magic system without properly learning the original magic.

The applied magic [Swarm Thunder] that was just used is proof of such results.

Of course in return the name of the magic was somewhat mixed with the existing one but as long as one could find an intuitive image in the name it would not be a big problem.

Lennok who had pushed the corpses aside looked up at the huge tower standing tall beyond.

A bizarre sculpture that looks as if it resembles a human forearm.

The pure white tower shaped like five fingers stretched out toward the sky had no windows and the only entrance on the ground was covered in blood.

I don’t know what happened but it was clear that things were not going well for Lennok.

I tried to observe the inside by activating magical power but surprisingly the walls of the tower completely blocked the magical power removing the surveillance gaze.

If it was able to block Lennok’s magic control ability which has increased rapidly recently it would mean that the lab also put a lot of effort into creating it.

In the end I had no choice but to go in and check it out in person.

The fishy smell of blood wafts in as soon as you step inside the lab tower.

The moment Lennok frowned at the disgusting stench that had accumulated in a state where there was no proper ventilation.

Right next to me a toothless corpse jumped up and rushed towards Lennok.

“Kaaaa!!”

Wow!!

The monster unable to pierce even one of Lennok’s shields hits its head on the ground and is crushed by the ensuing shock magic.

I leave the falling monster behind and quickly look inside the lab.

Corpses scattered here and there mixed with the corpses of monsters. The heat felt on the skin.

The cold yet still silence hurts my eardrums.

It was only for a moment but I was sure.

There was no one alive here.

Lennok’s expression twitched slightly as he looked at the blood flowing down to his feet.

‘The blood hasn’t even hardened yet. Are you saying he died not too long ago?’

If so the culprit who did this may still be in the same place as Lennok.

The moment his thoughts reached that point Lennok immediately raised his magic power to cover the entire tower and assembled the magic in an instant.

[Half spacer]

Whoa!!

An opaque hemispherical barrier instantly surrounds the entire tower and begins to rotate slowly.

Although it does not have any special security capabilities or the ability to block external attacks it is possible to identify living beings entering and exiting the barrier because it was created with an increased concentration of magical power.

If the criminal is planning to run away you will be able to tell right away.

This is enough. Lennok immediately walked up the lab’s winding stairs to the top of the tower.

Detection of magic power which did not work outside the tower is carried out smoothly inside the tower.

As I walk up each floor I check that there is no life reaction and head upward.

Corpses scattered around. Faces distorted from terrible pain and unknown mechanical devices.

There are traces scattered here and there that show that this was a research institute but in fact none of the people who worked at the research institute survived.

At one point while walking around the inside of the tower which was filled with only the energy of death Lennok finally reached the top floor and swallowed a sigh.

“hmm….”

The only visible bodies are the brutally murdered warlocks.

There is still no trace of the culprit who committed all of this.

Perhaps the characteristic of the warlocks on the top floor is that they are relatively older and their clothes look classy?

Lennok standing next to the cold corpse was calmly lost in thought.

Assuming the culprit hasn’t left this location yet where would he be?

A place where you can avoid the magic detection of Lennok inside the tower and not be detected by the barrier spread outside the tower.

Of course it is possible to assume that the level of the opponent is high enough to ignore all of this but it is meaningless to consider it in the first place so if we boldly leave it aside…

There is only one place left.

Lennok who had magic power in his left hand immediately drew a huge magic circle in the air.

[Flame Buster]

A bright red pillar of fire burst out and soared directly over Lennok’s head.

Quaaaaaaa!!

When you smash the ceiling of the top floor what you see is a sky still full of fog.

Lennok who was certain that something was detecting magic while floating his body using floating magic nodded.

A laboratory created in the shape of a human hand.

At the tip of the giant finger a person was standing with his back turned waiting for something.

“Huh?”

Untidy dull gray hair. Eyes that are somewhat loose.

A shiny purple cloak covering the entire body. And the blood spattering loudly on his face.

I’m sure.

This sloppy man who appeared to be under the influence of drugs was the culprit who massacred all the warlocks at the institute.

The man looked at Lennok scratched his head and got down from where he was sitting.

“Hey… I was wondering who put up this barrier in the sky but it turned out to be you?”

“……”

Instead of responding Lennok took out a cigarette from his arms and lit it.

The corners of the man’s mouth were torn all the way down to his ears when he saw him leisurely puffing away at the smoke.

“Okay okay. It’s not a bad idea to light a cigarette on the way. So why did you come all the way here and commit suicide? “If I had just quietly hidden I would have saved my life.”

The man began trudging towards this direction as if killing the witness was completely natural.

Lennok who was staring at the faltering gait blurted out something.

“I want to ask you something.”

“what?”

“Why did you kill the same warlock?”

Even if you check again the magical power flowing from the man’s body it is clear.

The man standing before my eyes was undoubtedly a warlock.

Considering that this man was the culprit who killed those working at this laboratory it was like a fratricidal war between wizards of the same branch.

The man laughed absurdly after hearing Lennok’s words.

“friend. Not all warlocks are the same. Or are you so clueless about the world that you don’t even know that?”

“……..”

“Well I’m in a position where I have to be careful with my tongue so it’s hard to tell you in detail. “If only I could show a little kindness to someone who is about to die…”

“I guess it’s because of the city government’s inspection.”

The man quietly blinked his eyes at Lennok’s indifferently mumbling words.

“…..That’s right. “How did you know?”

“Have there been any other changes to warlocks recently?”

Lennok responded harshly and took a step forward.

“What happened?”

He muttered as he let out a stream of smoke.

“It won’t be too late to cut off all limbs and ask questions.”

“hey.”

The man smiled bitterly at Lennok’s indifferent words.

“I don’t know where on earth that confidence comes from…”

Gulp…!! Gulp…!!

With those words black liquid flows from the bottom of the man’s cloak and wets the floor.

As if pulled by an invisible force the floating liquid gathers together in the air and turns into the shape of a huge mouth.

“I don’t know if I really saw the people downstairs.”

The man grinned.

“I did all that. “There is no one here who can help you.”

Kaaaaaa!!!

At the same time as he said those words the mouth of the liquid that was swept away as if sliding across the floor and floating opened its mouth wide and swallowed Lennok.

Lennok answered.

“embrace.”

Kwaaaa!!

The bright blue brilliance of electricity flashed an incredible hot wind swirled and the mouth of the liquid shattered like a balloon bursting.

The dazed face of the man is clearly visible through the scattered remains of the liquid.

[Electric Field]

It’s a joke!!!

A huge wave of lightning spread out around Lennok’s body sweeping all around and evaporating the remaining black liquid in one go.

Only then did the man whose complexion completely changed hurriedly move his hands and make a hand sign and a black magic circle appeared behind his back.

Go go go go!!

Three eyes appeared from the empty space of darkness tearing the air as if gnawing at it.

It flowed from space and constantly changed its appearance while maintaining only three pairs of eyes and keeping its gaze on Lennok.

Lennok who knew that ‘seeing’ had a lot of meaning in the magic of this world slowly moved to the side wary of whether it contained special magic or spells.

The man who had regained his composure while looking at that scene chuckled.

“There is nowhere to run.”

“……”

“The barrier you laid out. I’ll squeeze your blood and smear it on the wall there. “The work that needs to be done is done anyway so I guess I can just enjoy it.”

“It’s because I don’t know much about warlocks.”

Lennok said as he brushed off his coat.

“Is that faction full of people with bad tastes like you?”

“what? Uh… I’m not sure. “Maybe so?”

“That’s not a very helpful answer.”

I’m sorry!!!

Lennok takes a step forward emitting a bright blue light from his slightly hanging left hand.

He spoke from the center of a hot blast pushing away the fog.

“It would be quicker to beat him up first and then ask him.”

“If you can do it.”

With those words a three-eyed monster leaps out from under the man’s feet.

Wow!!

The body made of black liquid splits into three parts each with one eye and changes direction.

They rush in from the top of the head and from the left and right once again opening their huge maws wide in the liquid.

At the same time the man put his hands together and thrust his magic energy into the bottom of the rooftop.

Paaaa!!

All the flow of magical power captured in Lennok’s gaze.

Priorities are determined as quickly as the senses allow.

Kwaang!!

The first attack from the black liquid. Beat it with a shield.

The movement of sharp teeth opening in three directions and gnawing away at the magical force field was threatening enough but Lennok’s shield was also woven more tightly than before to withstand the crushing impact.

Rather what you should pay attention to is the flow of magical power that the man just released at his feet.

It is a sharp blade that hides like a shadow in a large powerful attack.

The wave of electricity was so intense that it was difficult to see clearly splitting into four as it spun and as soon as Lennok stamped his foot once it dug into the ground.

[Rapid thunder]

I’m sorry!!

At the same time the ground beneath Lennok’s feet collapsed and the new monster that was attacking him let out a painful scream as it was struck by electricity.

[Keeeeeeee!!]

“Sigh!”

Step on the mouth of the monster that appears from below and jump upward. I took a step forward looking for a floor that had not collapsed.

Lennok who had nullified all of the man’s offense and defense with a single spell nodded.

“I guess I get it roughly.”

After blowing it up two or three times I can guess.

Although it can be destroyed by physical force it is difficult to cause significant damage to the actual composition of magic.

However it is a monster that operates independently of the will of the magician and can coexist in numbers of more than one.

Although it is somewhat inferior to be a summon it is too efficient to be a product of pure black magic.

Crucially every time a man spews out black liquid a foreign energy is sucked in from outside.

Considering that it was at that point that the liquid became self-directed and eyes and mouths formed the conclusion was reached.

‘You mixed black magic with necromantic magic. That’s probably why they can fight while moving independently.’

The black liquid created using magical power is used to possess the consciousness of something and use it in battle.

Considering that necromancy is a very difficult technique that is extremely difficult to use there is a high possibility that the black liquid wielded by the man itself is a catalyst specialized for this type of necromancy.

In order to scrape a man’s resources to the bottom it wouldn’t be a bad idea to wait until all his liquids are gone…

‘I roughly understand the principles of necromancy.’

Now that we have discovered the secret of the spell it would be better to collect the right amount of catalyst before it runs out.

There is no need to continue the battle any further.

Woooo!!

The moment you make up your mind your magical power vibrates and reaches out from deep within your body.

A wish is a moment. But the transfer started now.

hearing

Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssshhhh!!

At the same time as moving magical power.

The fog that filled the area around the laboratory tower gradually disappears.

A massive amount of fog rotated around the giant hand-shaped tower converging into a single point where Lennok wielded his magic.

It goes beyond simply freezing moisture with cold and collects all of the surrounding moisture to activate magic.

“Fuck…!!”

The man who sensed that something was not unusual just by that force changed his expression completely and hurriedly poured out a huge amount of black liquid from his body.

Quaaaaa!!

Something dwells in the black liquid that overflows like sewage in a sewer and I open my eyes.

This time the man must have made up his mind and the black liquid began to boil and change into a completely different form.

[Gwaaaaaah….]

An eerie groaning sound as if echoing from hell is heard from inside the liquid.

Four pupils. The giant’s upper body complete with two horns and two huge arms slowly raised itself on top of the giant palm.

Just considering the size of the upper body the skeleton appears to be twice that of an ordinary human being.

“Kill!! “Kill that bastard right now!!”

The man seeing the massive figure of a giant in his eyes then screams in a panic.

The four red glowing eyes glance down at their owner irreverently and slowly raise both arms with a reluctant look.

Although it is an unfinished body dripping with black liquid it is clear what will happen if that much mass falls.

Surely the small tower of this laboratory will collapse without a trace.

It was only after seeing the huge amount of black liquid that Lennok realized that the man did not have black liquid stored in his body but it didn’t mean much now.

Woooooo!!

As if waiting for this very moment the magical power that had been raised to its fullest level turned into freezing coldness.

It turned into a pure white circular ring and snatched up Lennok’s wrist.

“If it’s flowing it will freeze just the same.”

The magic is complete.

The image of Lennok’s landscape once again appears here.

I hit it down.

[ice wheel]

Paaaaaa!!!

The frost ring that appeared around both wrists exploded creating a white storm.

The unrealistic cold took over the temperature everywhere and plunged it down.

Inhibition of movement. A blow that goes beyond the limits of the laws of physics.

Although it is a common magic it is also a new move of Lennok that is close to a unique magic.

A creation that was possible because it was the ice-type magic that was the second favorite and most familiar after the lightning-type.

A new magic that partially represents the growth so far was revealed here.

Quaaaaa!!!

A tower shaped like an arm pointing towards the sky. A white sphere landed on the palm of his hand.

In the frost-filled space the giant raises both arms and without even thinking about moving slowly paints its black body with pure white paint.

When Lennok’s magic ends and the fog disappears and the clear sky is visible all that remains is the giant’s upper body frozen as if time has stopped.

There was no longer any sparkle left in the giant’s four eyes.

Jejeojeojeojeojeojeojeojeojeojeok….!!!

If it cannot maintain its shape it will simply collapse.

The black liquids which were filled with negative magic and moved freely have already been shattered from their composition and disappear into powder.

The giant’s body turned into pure white powder and flew away.

It becomes snow suitable for the cold winter weather and illuminates the entire sky.

“That ahhh….”

In that strange yet beautiful landscape a man with frozen limbs let out an incomprehensible groan.

In the meantime there are hard broken pieces of debris scattered around as if they were trying to protect themselves by extracting the black liquid.

Your eyes have lost focus and you cannot even feel your limbs.

You won’t be able to last long.

Lennok squatted down and took the tobacco out of his mouth.

“Now can I ask you something?”

“Please save me. Save me. Please save me…..”

Ignoring the pleas of the man who was muttering absently Lennok took out the file Zorden gave him from his bag and said as he flipped through the papers one by one.

“I knew that there were factions among warlocks but I never heard that their relationship was so bad that they killed each other like this.”

As Lennok said that he immediately pressed the end of a tobacco leaf that still had a burning ember between the man’s eyes.

Towards the only area where there seems to be any sense remaining.

The response came immediately.

Cheesy…!!

“Kwaaaa!! Hot hot!! “It’s hot!!”

“I wish you could tell me about the circumstances surrounding the city government’s inspection.”

The contradiction of screaming from the heat of the flame even as your limbs freeze and break apart.

It is indeed a fitting end for a wizard.

Lennok smiled faintly looking at the man’s face contorted in pain.

“There is one piece of information I really want to know.”
