Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 93
by Jessie@AFNCC
At the end of the collapsed ruins (1)
“You are the one called Ban.”
Before responding Lennok pressed his earphones to send a signal to all allies including Hina. A signal confirming Craig’s existence.
With this Chaisha will be able to come into the cavity and support our allies.
If possible it would be nice to deal with Jaun quickly and come down here to help capture him alive… but Lennok decided not to expect much from that.
“Do you know me?”
“I heard a lot of stories. “It is rumored that he is the bug that interferes with my work the most.”
He slowly began to walk sideways flapping his pitch-black long gun with an elaborate magic circle engraved on it.
Is that attitude an expression of confidence or arrogance?
Craig quietly looked up at the ceiling of the common room with his back and muttered.
“Shall we talk?”
Quaaaaaaa!!
Instead of answering Lennok dropped a fireball on his head.
It was clearly a ploy to waste time but I wasn’t stupid enough to deserve it.
If you can’t erase the magic circle shouldn’t you kill the caster yourself?
However Craig’s voice coming from the other side of the smoke was too normal for a wizard who allowed the attack.
“He’s a short-tempered guy. “But it’s late.”
Woooo!!
With those words the magic circle drawn all over Lennok’s cavity began to vibrate roughly and rotate slowly.
“Among magicians who have reached level 6 or higher the ‘self-reflection realm’ is only available to a very small number of those with natural talent… It is the result of artificially realizing it. “Until the spell is activated both the caster and the magic circle are protected by a strong security spell.”
Magnetic area. Got important keywords.
Could this be a clue to the strange pressure I felt when facing Heavenly Gyeon or the Warlock of Pandemonium?
There was almost no information about the combat methods used by high-ranking wizards so I didn’t have a chance to ask Aris.
Lennok quickly collected his thoughts thinking that he would have to ask her a question later.
“Until the spell is activated…..”
Conversely does this mean that there is no protection whatsoever after the spell begins to be activated?

It may seem like a stringent condition but if you are allowed to use strong security techniques with such conditions it is a viable business.
The time and cost involved in building this level of infrastructure must have been significant.
Lennok shook his head as he withdrew his magical energy.
‘……Let’s shake it a little more.’
There is no need to reveal that he is completely ignorant of the field.
From here let’s move on naturally in a direction that can divert that guy’s nerves.
“Aren’t you relieved that we have implemented space-based security techniques? I know that you are planning something to counter Balkan. “We have also prepared a suitable strategy here.”
It’s an argument that’s so obvious and clumsy that you can’t help but laugh as you say it.
But rather it is a statement that makes me want to refute it.
And as expected Craig reacted.
“Is this what you mean by that strategy?”
Buuuuung!!
With those words something appeared behind Craig’s back.
A strangely twisted corpse with limbs impaled on large skewers.
The broken glasses and aged face were distorted in terrible pain and the eyeballs were strangely protruding and frozen.
It’s a familiar face. An executive agent who disappeared after speaking with Lennok just before the start of the operation.
It was Niro Cohen.
“……..”
“It seemed like he thought he could avoid my eyes in a cocky way so he passed by the labor yard and tried to peek inside the cave.”
Craig said tapping Niro’s head with his middle finger.
Niro’s head swayed as if it were a pendulum from that light touch.
The sticky hardened blood dripped down in time with the pendulum movement.
“It looks like he was confident in his stealth skills but he made the mistake of coming into the sensory area of the wizard who built the territory. “It’s a pity.”
He continued to push Niro’s head then clenched his fist as hard as he could and struck him.
Wow!!
A skewered body falls helplessly on the floor.
The person who had been talking normally a few hours ago had turned into a piece of meat but Lennok asked without blinking.
It was impossible to show him shaking here.
“How far do you have to go to be satisfied? Are you going to take Reisen’s slush fund and race until the city collapses?”
“A race? “You’re talking like a dog.”
Craig glared at him with a heavy gaze.
“It wasn’t our doctor who accepted that old man’s slush fund!!”
“……..”
“Even though I had the title of bugler for the city council I didn’t even know the exact date of the inspection decided by the Senate. Who was it that handed over the slush fund to us and told us not to know about it in order to hide it? “This is not what I wanted!!”
A voice that fills the cavity and resonates loudly.
His voice boiled so harshly that you could clearly feel the extent of the anger hidden beneath that heavy expression.
At the same time pitch-black magical power leapt from the magic circle and pulsated instantly covering the entire area in pitch black.

“Whoa whoa…!!”
Craig who was out of breath in the center of the blackened cavity spoke in a quiet voice.
“It is acceptable to become distracted while chasing a goal that is out of reach. But it can’t disappear because of the greed of just one old man.”
Woooooo!!
Magic power rotates. At the same time the magic circle glowed darkly and began to vibrate slowly.
“I just tried to do a little better.”
Lennok responded to that desperate persuasion.
“You mean turning innocent people into sacrifices?”
The two wizards simultaneously turned their heads and faced each other.
Quaaaaaaa!!
An explosion explodes.
Lennok spoke amidst a deafening roar.
“I think it can be done.”
Even without having to convince himself that he was right Lennok understood Craig.
It is natural to struggle to survive and not to fall victim to the greed of others.
Regardless of what sacrifices were made or how many innocent people were killed in the process.
Lennok thought Craig’s behavior was natural.
This place is not a solemn judgment hall where justice is administered.
It’s just that the two people who came all the way out of the city chasing each other’s gains and losses have finally met face to face.
That’s why Lennok understood all of Craig’s cries but at the same time felt useless.
Even if Lennok had deeply sympathized with Craig’s ideas it would not have changed where they stand now.
There is no good or evil here.
There are only honest desires and plausible justifications to cover them up.
Only one person who stands until the end on this magic circle will be able to obtain the ending beyond.
There was no need for any more questions and answers.
[Lightning Vortex]
Weeeeeee!!
A torrent of bright blue lightning whirled from Lennok’s left arm spinning and shooting straight into the waves of black magic.
Fuuuuuu!!
The extreme penetrating power concentrated at one point breaks through the waves and spreads them rendering Craig’s first attack useless.
Faaah!!
And Craig’s new model races beyond the waves of dispersing magic power.
A face painted with anger and graying hair.
But the movement itself is disciplined enough to make Lennok turn his gaze.
Aside from being a warlock himself it seemed clear that he was a trained warrior.
The outstretched fist filled with overflowing magical power instantly shatters Lennok’s shield and approaches the vital point in an instant.
Kwazizik!!
Lennok too pulled a revolver from his waist without even blinking.
[Reload acceleration]
[Aim correction]
[High-speed shooting]
Ta-ta-ta-tang!!
The four bullets were fired without any time to breathe after pulling the hammer.
As soon as he pulls it out from his belt the flames erupted and hit exactly where Lennok wanted them to be.
Although auxiliary magic was used they were all classes that had little to do with the power of shooting.
Wow!!
However after being hit Craig’s body is pushed back helplessly as if he had been hit from the front by a huge shock wave.
The shock magic previously applied to the bullet threw Craig back faster than the magic.
Lennok slowly stepped back as he quickly loaded the next bullet.
“I didn’t know you would attack me directly.”
I muttered and quickly shook my head.
There’s no way Craig a master of black magic wouldn’t know. Why did he take the lead so quickly?
‘It’s probably because I don’t want to tolerate even the slightest disruption.’
From the moment you realize the reason the surrounding scenery begins to look a little different.
Craig plans to deal with Lennok directly and keep him in check to prevent him from interfering with this process.
“I already know how big your bowl is. “He’s probably looking so far away that a wizard like me can’t even guess.”
Craig said burning young black magic in both hands.
Grumbling!!
The sparks of magic rising from both hands slowly cover Craig’s whole body and turn into a living flame of life.
“A unique fighting method that offsets close combat with shield magic and intersperses accurate shooting with magic. “What creates that contradictory strength is not magical talent but rather a strangely calm and cool-headed judgment.”
“……..”
“But if the shield can be nullified at close range the balance of that fighting style will also be destroyed.”
Instead of responding Lennok silently raised his revolver.
You must not be shaken. The opponent is an old wizard who has experienced many hardships.
If he really had a way to break through his shield it would be much more efficient to swing his hands directly instead of moving his mouth.
It would be correct to view the fact that he spoke out like that as a prelude to psychological warfare against Lennok.
Regardless of whether he said that or not it was right to make a judgment based on the flow of his attack.
‘It’s never too late to look and judge.’
At some point you start to see more than just the defense and defense of the battle.
A new ability that began to arise purely from his intellect and experience completely different from his natural magical talent or mentality.
He who used to balance battles only with coolness and boldness is now gradually gaining insight into measuring the gaps in battles.
It’s something that an ordinary wizard can never have and even a skilled warrior can’t hone… It’s an eye level that is only allowed to those who cross the line of fire at every moment.
The moment Lennok’s strong will and firm judgment were combined with the magic contained in his gaze his eyes glowed bright blue and a dark glow spread across his eyes.
As soon as he felt those gazes Craig’s body became a black flash of light.
breakthrough.
And clash.
Kwaaaa!!
Along with the dense shock wave the stone dust rolling around the quarry turned into gray wind and was pushed in all directions.
The shield which can even withstand the power of heavy weapons is shattered and the gap between the two instantly shortens.
There is plenty of time to react. There are dozens of ways to respond that come to mind.
That’s why Lennok watched Craig’s attack and defense until the end and moved the moment the shield was completely shattered and his bare body was exposed.
The previously broken shield is rebuilt in just one breath.
Kwaaaang!!
Recovering the magical power fired from above the head the flames fall down.
Kwazijic!!
The twisted spiral of wind whips the thighs and robs them of their mobility.
He catches the splashing blood with a shield and inserts the sphere containing concentrated magical power into the wound.
He exploded the compressed air in his ear creating a shadow that covered his eyes and used shock magic.
Doo doo doo doo!!
“….!!!”
An offensive that pushes forward without even taking a breath.
Not only does it not take away the five senses it also robs them at will and wields all senses that feel pain at will.
The moment you try to respond to an attack coming from one side you stab at a completely unexpected blind spot and tap on the gap revealed upside down.
A desperate fight to bite each other’s leashes. However in the process the only thing that is swinging around aimlessly like a dancing doll is Craig’s body.
Blood pours out in all directions but there is only one person whose body is gradually turning red.
Don’t let your guard down. Don’t be conceited.
Wasn’t it just for this moment that they traveled so hard outside the city to find the location of the black magicians and prevent the crimes that threatened the city?
Lennok’s concentration did not drop at all even as he freely manipulated the dozens of magical powers extending from both hands as if he were handling a very fragile glasswork.
