    At the end of the collapsed ruins (2)

    In that brief moment of waiting for Craig’s next reaction countless crossroads pass through my mind and all of them remain in my mind moving toward a clear turning point of victory.

    The moment when I desperately stirred my dark magic in all directions and raised my magic significantly in order to somehow find clues for a counterattack.

    That momentary gap when you take a risk for a return.

    Woooo!!

    I grab the hair of the magic energy flowing downward and lift it up.

    The moment the will was put into the intangible magic bright blue lightning surged up from six places instantly trapping Craig and tightening it.

    A unique magic created by mixing the magical power of a manipulation class magician and lightning.

    [Six Halls]

    I’m so sorry!!!!

    “Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…!!”

    As the electric wire was swung around his neck and suffocated him Craig’s struggling movements quickly began to subside.

    Only then did Lennok exhale softly with a pale complexion.

    It seemed fierce at first glance but the victory was overwhelming.

    The gap was proven by the fact that although more than a dozen magic shots were exchanged in a split second Craig never made a successful effective hit.

    In a way this is natural.

    Even though Craig is a warlock with a long history Lennok’s combat experience combined with his talent has begun to surpass the value of time.

    It is not just a concept of responding well to the attacks and defenses of the opponent in front of you.

    In a more fundamental sense it is a fighting method to obtain what you want. Lennok’s ability to use magic had already surpassed a certain level and had reached the level of skill.

    Especially against the same wizard it’s not easy to picture yourself losing.

    The talent perfected as a wizard was taking Lennok to a level beyond just high-firepower artillery.

    Due to the fact that Craig was an excellent necromancer they even prepared a secret plan against him but since he did not use necromancer the outcome was decided.

    The two wizards made eye contact as the common landscape became a mess.

    Is this enough?

    Lennok said to Craig as he contacted the operating team.

    “I have something I want to ask.”

    There is no other reason why they achieved victory by refraining from using powerful unique magic and pushing at a fast tempo.

    We shouldn’t kill Craig right now.

    There was more than one piece of information that needed to be heard from his mouth.

    He could have asked about Reisen’s slush fund first… but that wasn’t Lennok’s purpose in coming all the way here.

    There was something he thought was more important than the safety of the Balkans.

    Lennok took out the relic ring he had received from Raoul and held it out in front of Craig who was groaning in pain.

    Ugh…!

    When magical power of the right wavelength is injected into the ring through a change in nature the shape of a huge tree rises above the ring.

    Lennok asked as he held the image in front of him that looked identical to the tattoo drawn under Craig’s eye.

    “The pattern of this tree. A tattoo under your eye. I heard that it is also related to a wizard family. “Tell me everything you know.”

    “This is…”

    Craig who was looking at the ring with slightly surprised eyes closed his mouth.

    He looked down at it blankly for a while and then let out an unnatural smile.

    “ha ha ha…!! I didn’t know you would bring this ring. Raoul: Did you get it from that old man? Well there’s no way that old man knew the true meaning of this painting.”

    “……..”

    Even though his skin was covered by six electric wires the moment he saw the pattern Craig’s face became as calm as a lie.

    A reaction that would be impossible for a human to use common sense.

    Only then did Lennok realize exactly what emotions were peeking out from behind Craig’s eyes.

    It is not a belief that allows you to throw away your life like straw for what you want.

    It was almost like madness looking at nothing other than what was desired.

    “I thought the only thing that could befall an ignorant person was death but this would be a different story.”

    “what?”

    While asking Craig looked up at Gong with a drunken gaze and said.

    “The ‘observation’ ended after Philenom’s lighthouse keeper went to rest. “It seems that the successor is diligently preparing to take over but the boundary between the open sea and the land is already blurring and the end that the ascendants feared is approaching us.”

    “A lighthouse keeper?”

    Wasn’t that another name for the ascendant who was called Cheongyeon?

    While Lennok paused at the sudden appearance of the name Craig continued speaking.

    “That’s why it’s not that difficult to borrow the power of the apocalypse which is getting closer. Fortune-tellers who predict the fate of the sky or ritualists who perform sacrificial rituals must already be aware of this fact and are informing those around them of the danger.”

    Craig said looking in ecstasy at the image of the tree floating above the ring.

    It seemed like there was no reason left in that gaze.

    It was only after Lennok saw that that he realized why Craig had rushed at him so recklessly and with his bare body and without hesitation he raised his magic power.

    Craig is a practical warlock. Among them he is a master of necromancy.

    Nevertheless what does it mean that during the battle with Lennok he rushed in with his bare body instead of using necromancy?

    It’s not that necromancy wasn’t used.

    It was already in use.

    The ritual began a long time ago.

    “The tree you are holding now is a symbol of Acrotrinia an extinct tree that ate an entire civilization and whose branches reached the end of the sky….!!! And the god coming down to this place right now represents a piece of that great end!!!”

    Kwaaaaaa!!!!!

    A common area where darkness has subsided.

    The illusion of a huge tree appeared in this alien space where time and space seemed to have been separated.

    A foreign yet natural presence as if it had been there from the beginning.

    It wriggles its dark red roots as if stained with blood and bends its branches as if looking downward.

    The overwhelming feeling of intimidation is such that you can guess its status just by the welcome that appears here.

    It was only when Lennok saw that that he realized.

    The ‘artificial realm’ that Craig was talking about was a stage created solely to display the fragments of the apocalypse.

    Woooooo!!

    The energy that fills all directions is so tight that it is hard to believe that a force with this much intimidation and presence is nothing more than a trace and not the real thing.

    Pop.

    And the silence that follows.

    The magic circle rotates like crazy absorbing the tree’s illusion.

    The enormous presence that had been absorbed was poured into the space beneath Craig’s feet.

    I’m so sorry!!!!

    A heterogeneous red-brown magical power bounces through the bloody air of the cavity.

    At the same time a sprout growing through the hard hollow floor suddenly expanded its body and turned into a seedling.

    [Aaaah!!!!]

    It didn’t stop as if it was pouring out all the magic it had absorbed so far.

    Jjigigigigeek-!!!

    A strange noise that cannot be described by the ear. Would it be like this if the sound of a tree growing were played back thousands of times faster?

    Wood clatter!!

    The sight of a sapling growing through a solid steel plate is in itself quite bizarre.

    The sight of leaves starting to form at the tips of the branches seemed to indirectly show how powerful the sapling he had commanded was.

    “Did you say it was a fragment of the apocalypse?”

    Lennok muttered.

    “I was only thinking of activating necromancy from the beginning.”

    “……”

    There was no answer. All that comes back is the bitter mockery of someone who was confident of success.

    Lennok no longer paid any attention to Craig but instead watched the ever-growing saplings carefully.

    ‘It’s an extinct tree… That’s a grand name.’

    I couldn’t understand everything Craig said but I could understand his intention.

    Philenom’s lighthouse keeper Madrea Falseer was a sentinel who observed monsters in the open sea and guarded against them crossing into this world.

    Now that she has died and the boundaries have become blurred this probably means that others can more easily come into contact with the monster called ‘Apocalypse’.

    That’s not surprising.

    Especially considering that this world is the background of WORLD 3.0 which he originally wanted to enjoy.

    Regardless of whether this is real or not if it’s a world the player is ready to enter…

    Isn’t it reasonable at first glance that an adversary exists?

    Even if the opponent is not a person but a monster like a giant tree.

    In some ways this may have all been decided from the beginning.

    Cheongyeon’s death. City government inspection. Resistance of warlocks. Craig appears.

    Even the existence of true monsters crossing the open sea.

    Are we drifting into a predetermined future without even realizing it?

    Where is the fate of this world going?

    [The first is a coincidence the second is inevitable. The third is fate.]

    The only thing he remembers from the day he launched WORLD 3.0 to what extent does it tie him down?

    I felt depressed and looked away.

    However now is not the time to indulge in such sentiments for long.

    ‘Magic power…’

    Just as dried twisted tree roots absorb water Craig’s body which had turned into a sapling began to greedily absorb the surrounding magic.

    Beyond simply tampering with the unclaimed power circling around he is disrupting the foundation of the shield magic that protects Lennok and even taking away its magical power.

    “……..”

    The red-brown tree roots are trying to invade the magical power that forms the basis of Lennok even though they are not in direct contact.

    As my irritability rose my concentration sharply increased.

    Lennok’s magic manipulation ability which goes beyond the scope of talent is not weak enough to be affected by such interference.

    Lennok who instantly regained control of his magic took a step forward and waved his hands.

    Although it’s only for a moment it absorbs magic power powerful enough to interfere with Lennok’s magic control ability.

    The enormous manpower destroys the walls of the cavity and causes the rocky ceiling of the quarry to collapse.

    Kwaaaa!!

    The ceiling of the cavity completely collapsed and something poured out from inside.

    “If the floor collapses…!!”

    “half!!”

    Chen Hina Cheisha and other freelancers fall from the air.

    “Holy shit!!”

    Even the presence of Zaun Odis who was screaming with an annoyed expression on his face.

    Needless to say Lennok’s expression turned ambiguous at the unexpected guest’s intrusion.

    The collapsing cavity suddenly began to become crowded.

    “It’s very late.”

    Hina got down easily and said as she pulled out a sword from her waist.

    “After confirming the report that Craig had not yet left here we entered Cheisha. “It would be great if I could also call Team Leader Marcia…”

    Evelyn is leading the other agents in a fierce battle with Reisen.

    Which side would fall depended solely on the outcome of this operation.

    “That jeweler over there didn’t accept my locket. “I think we need some kind of method.”

    Chaisha muttered while blowing bubble gum.

    Instead of saying anything else Lennok first gave them the news they needed to know.

    “Niro Cohen is dead. “Craig summoned a monster.”

    For a moment I felt the two people’s expressions slightly stiffen but like an execution agent they quickly calmed their complexions.

    “…….okay.”

    “There’s nothing I can do.”

    Chaisha added while popping bubble gum.

    “–He wasn’t a bad grandpa.”

    “Because I have work to do now. “Memorials will be held later.”

    Hina said that and aimed the sword she had drawn precisely at the fallen Craig.

    “Right now the priority is to subdue the criminals in front of us.”

    “Do you think you’ll just watch quietly?”

    Tap tap tap.

    Jaune smiled as he relaxed his stiff neck and took a step forward.

    “It was a little different than planned but if it went this far it was half a success. “I can’t let bugs like you run away anymore.”

    Sigh!!

    He took out two jewels from his arms held them in both hands and bowed low.

    “Anyway as long as I kill that damn wizard…!!”

    Kwaaaang!!

    The images of Chen and Jaun clashing again before the words were finished.

    At the same time allied freelancers including Cheisha began to provide frantic firepower to cover Chen.

    Lennok glanced back at Hina who was about to jump in and quickly grabbed her shoulder.

    “……yes?”

    “Wait a moment.”

    “I don’t have time for this!!”

    “I don’t mean to disturb you so stop.”

    As Lennok said that he slowly raised his magic power.

    Hina was shocked when she saw the current flowing between her fingers but she held it in perhaps because of the trust she had seen so far.

    Watching that scene Lennok passed a crackling electric current straight into the top of Hina’s head.

    “I realized one thing while reading Introduction to Necromancy.”

    Weeeeeee!!

    The magical power of the electricity that flowed through the top of her head did not burn up Hina’s head but instead raced through her entire body to every corner of her body.

    “I may not be able to use the technique itself but there is a part of its principle that can be left out.”

    Lightning series enchantment system applied magic.

    [Yeosintrust (余身雷)]

    Crazy!!
