Drug-Eating Genius Mage

약먹는 천재마법사 892화

Eyes that see fate (28)

A huge spear of flame that penetrated the lower part of the magic tower.

And the expressionless face of the wizard standing at the end of the spear looking down at the tower.

Her flowing hair, wrapped in explosive flames like wings, was dyed red.

“Evan…!!!”

The moment Lapis turned his head to call out to Renok, a fireball fell from above his head and exploded, blocking his view.

Kwaaaang!!

Tatiana, who was standing on the rooftop and making a hand sign, glared at Lennok with a sharp gaze and said.

“For someone who entered the tower’s domain alone, he is very confident.”

“….”

Lennok did not respond to Tatiana’s words.

She just turned her gaze and looked at her standing on her rooftop.

Just from that, Tatyana felt a chill on the back of her neck even in this heat.

‘I can’t see the floor. It’s an incredible amount of horsepower…’

Even though I am keeping an eye on the magic power detection at such a close distance, there is no limit in sight.

Even if you dip your hand under the flowing water, it feels as if you will be sucked backwards instead of touching the bottom.

The Aspect Wizard who completed the hierarchy. Even Tatiana, who has faced numerous monsters on the central front, has felt this way for the first time in a long time.

She said, ‘It might be more than half of her maximum magic power. Wasn’t it a lie that she used this city as firewood to increase her power?’

Tatiana, a fellow flame magician, understood exactly how Evan had been enhancing her own magic power.

Flame-type magic is basically a confirmation bias technique that inflates its power and scale through the overlap of magic techniques.

Although it may take some time to ignite and warm up, it has a high point that overwhelms other techniques in terms of scope and scale.

However, this is only possible if the caster can control the enhanced will and magic power.

Flame magic that begins to grow on its own becomes a fire that burns even the user himself.

Will, magical power, and magic. If you lose control in any of the three directions, it wouldn’t be surprising if you were eaten by the flames you created.

Did that wizard succeed in using everything he burned while exploring the dark corners of the city as his own strength?

“I want to ask you one thing.”

At that moment, Jenny looked down at Lennok from the end of the tower’s outer wall and asked.

“What standards do you have when going into battle?”

“….”

“I don’t know everything you’ve done in this city, but there’s something puzzling about it. “It seems like a plan, but the detailed judgment is a series of difficulties while running wild.”

Jenny’s soft voice rang out over the quiet courtyard of the tower.

“If you were born with purely monstrous talent, there would be no need to come back this far. The secret to your power lies there, right? For example-”

Jenny brightened her eyes sharply.

“You say you’re intentionally imitating what Ban did in this city?”

“…“That’s an interesting idea.”

At Jenny’s sharp point, Lennoc couldn’t help but laugh.

A series of journeys that Lennoc made under the name of Evan Martinez in this city.

This is because Jenny was pointing out the blind spots that most people did not worry about because they were distracted by his overwhelming record, the moment she first saw Evan.

That was far from Lennok’s essential cause, but it wasn’t entirely wrong.

Coo coo coo!!

With wings of flame fluttering wildly in his hands, Rennok’s body slowly rose upward.

“There’s no need to explain what I’m doing, but….”

Lennok nodded his head and wrung his hands.

“Everything has priorities.”

Kagak!

The moment when the two wings crossed each other, twisted the direction, and the breath of flame was released from the impact.

Lennok and Lapis’ new model accelerated from the spot and soared at incredible speed.

“catch!!”

Mila shouted, immediately jumping off the outer wall and running away.

Mila, who stepped on a structure on the ground and jumped, accelerated as if bouncing on her own and caught up with Lennok.

Using the shock wave created by superpowers as a stepping stone, he turns around and sticks out the muzzle of his shotgun to avoid the swirling stream of flames.

[Chewing fire]

Lenok turned his body and collided head-on with the flames exploding from his fingertips.

The intersection of magical power and mental power. With the impact of the clock being distorted, balance is instantly lost.

The flames compressed to the limit exploded and crushed Mila’s new form to the ground.

Kwaaaa!!

“…!!!”

Even though I was lucky enough to fall onto the tent in the courtyard, the impact was so heavy that I couldn’t breathe for a moment.

Did you get it right? Did the superpowers manifest at the right time?

It’s a feeling of helplessness, as if you’re being pressed down by force from all sides, to the point where you can’t remember the point of the collision.

Everyone paused at the sight of Mila, who had a particularly sensitive fighting sense among dogs, being overwhelmed.

“Tsk…!!!”

“If you’re going to follow me, follow me.”

Quaaaa!!

Lennok, who accelerated the elongated jet of flame like a rocket, looked down at the ground and smiled.

“Even if I’m not in a hurry, I plan to show everyone the final outcome.”

* * *

Flames sprayed more than a dozen meters away rotate and flutter like wings.

It reminds me of a time in the past when I was being chased from an unmanned hotel and was escaping by clinging to Lennok’s flame wings.

The now unfolded wings of flame were moving much more smoothly and flexibly than when Lapis remembered them.

Clap la la rock!!

While gently flapping like the wings of a living creature, it explosively pushes the two people’s body upward with great force.

The heat released as the flame burned removed the air resistance that accompanied the acceleration process.

The folding wing, which rotated more smoothly than the Patissia wing and increased speed, quickly left the area of Area 49.

“Evan…!!”

“wait.”

At the words of Lapis, who was clinging to Lennok’s shoulder, he glanced down and immediately changed direction.

“So far.”

Good!!

Realizing that he was outside the area, Lennok closed his wings and landed with Lapis.

The border near the 50th district, located on the outermost edge of the 49th district.

“Eh, Evan Martinez!!!”

Everyone who had camped at the border and watched the situation retreated in horror.

Reporters and journalists who reported on the conflict that occurred near Map Tower, and brokers who buy and sell all kinds of information.

A mercenary or freelancer waiting for a corner to run out of money.

And even executives from various organizations came to observe this situation.

Everyone’s eyes widened as they saw Lapis hanging on Lennok’s arm.

“It’s true!! Stay with the lighthouse keeper!!”

“Did they attack the magic tower and rescue the owner…? … !!”

“You’re crazy, are you really planning to fight with Do-rei!!!”

Lennok, ignoring the people’s shouts, clenched his hands and compressed the flames, muttering.

“You can’t use it anymore. “From here, we will have to break through directly to the fortress.”

“If it’s a matter of magical power, I can help Evan-”

“It’s a matter of power, not magic.”

Lennok shook his head at the words of Lapis, who quickly started walking next to Lennok.

“The output amplification rate has become too high. “At the point when you lose control of your acceleration, there is no guarantee that you will arrive at the fortress safely.”

“that….”

Lapis looked shocked.

Lapis, who immediately understood what Lennok was talking about, muttered absentmindedly.

“…“You haven’t used the spell even once since the wanted order was issued.”

Due to what happened with the drug lord and the Underworld Labyrinth, Lapis also knows what type of magic is.

An attribute magic with fire-like characteristics that increases its power and power the more it is used.

And Evan Martinez is a human being with greater capabilities than any wizard Lapis knows.

What does it mean that the amplification rate has become so large that it is difficult to control the techniques Evan uses?

Proof that ever since a wanted order was issued and Lapis was kidnapped, the flame has never been extinguished.

“do not worry.”

Lennok said, patting the shoulder of Lapis, who lowered her head with a confused expression.

“All preparations are complete. “The only thing left is to bring this side into a field that is advantageous to us and reach a conclusion.”

“….”

“I’m glad I was able to make it on time. “As long as you meet the conditions required for the ritual in the sanctuary-”

At that moment, Lapis spoke with his head down.

“please…Do we have to fight?”

“what?”

Lapis’s expression, hidden between her dark hair, could not be clearly seen even by Lennok.

Lapis, slightly clenching his fists, lowered his head and muttered as he walked quietly behind Lennok.

“Evan… … “You still have work to do in this city.”

“….”

“Do we really have to fight that wizard?”

Lennok finally understood what Lapis said and stopped.

This is because I realized that Lapis was talking about Evan Bylon, who had never been directly mentioned before.

The fact that Lennok, who was helping the Watcher with his work, was Evan Bylon, who worked as a researcher at Labatenon University of Magic.

The identity of the researcher who published papers on magic theory, including common magic.

Lapis knew about this from the moment she first met Lennok, and yet he hardly ever mentioned it.

However, at this moment when the situation was approaching the end, Lapis was worried about Evan Bylan’s identity and had a hard time getting him to say anything.

If Evan and Lightning, who had been cooperating across the Magic Tower, fall apart due to this incident-

“….”

No, that’s not it.

Worrying about Evan’s dual identity is only a formal justification.

Lapis wanted to confirm something from Lennok through this question.

Rather than just answering the questions asked on the surface, I want to know something more.

Lennok had never once said this directly. But there was definitely room for a secret.

“Lapis.”

I slightly lowered my head and made eye contact with Lapis.

People watching Lennok and Lapis from all around, exchanging information, and recording things.

The sound of engines of vehicles and airships echoing loudly in the distance.

However, even though Lennok was aware of the rapidly changing situation, he did not rush and opened his mouth calmly.

“What I’m trying to resolve is not limited to fighting. “It’s just a process.”

“The process, you mean…?”

“A crack in the open sea that exists in the Hexagonal Fortress. “We won’t be able to properly carry out the ceremony at that size.”

Lennok said as he took out a spark stone from his pocket.

“We need to stimulate the crack and expand it closer to [the door]. For that to happen, a very intense collision of magical power that goes beyond the limit will be needed.”

“…that.”

I know what awaits all the superhumans in this city.

I also understand the fight that Lapis wants to stop.

But if this was all just a play to attract other people’s attention, Lennok wouldn’t have even started this plan.

In the first place, didn’t he set up a stage that was too flashy and grand to begin with just for that reason?

The fight that has been anticipated for a long time should not be a conclusion in itself, but should be a process for moving on to the next step.

“I know you have questions about me.”

Lennok smiled as he stroked Lapis’ head.

“But I won’t answer. “It’s not that important to me.”

“….”

“Still, if you really want to know, get your hands on the qualification and check it for yourself. “If you can see it, then I can show it to you too.”

Lennok slowly stood up and looked back at the flow of magical energy running behind Lapis’ back.

“Just like Cheongyeon did to me in the past.”

“…“You are saying cruel things.”

Lapis smiled bitterly.

“Are you saying that when you know what kind of outcome I want from the ritual?”

“….”

“You know how much I owe Evan….”

Lennok did not answer that question.

However, he just started making hand signs while looking back at the mercenaries who were running towards him with an armored vehicle from afar.

“all right. “I will do that.”

Lapis, who was looking at Lennok’s back in silence, slowly nodded his head.

“At the border of the world…“I will go through the ceremony and meet my grandmother.”

“okay.”

The moment Lennok slowly nodded and raised his magic power.

Behind the wizard’s back, two brilliantly rotating stars appeared simultaneously.

“Liberation begins.”

Kuoooo!!

The flames of flame are burning with different colors, each wrapped around the chain of the bounding technique like a ring.

A moment when magical energy penetrated between two stars rotating in orbit around Lennok.

The magical power increased explosively on the spot and began to grow, consuming the user’s intentions.

“Summoning art.”

Flame series unique magic

[Jugwashin Wheel]

[Hwacheon Ganggwi (火喘鋼龜)]

Good luck!!

The flames rising from the wizard’s body stand tall, swelling in thickness like a flaming sacred tree.

Thick limbs protruded from the pillar of fire to support the ground, and the ceiling, curved like an umbrella, turned into a solid carapace.

Wood-like limbs come crashing down on the burning shell, trampling and crushing the entire street.

The turtle’s head popped out last, opening its mouth wide and letting out a powerful roar.

[Wow!!!]

thud! thud! thud!!

It breathes and roars, and every time it takes a step, its entire body burns pitifully.

Every time a 10-meter-long giant summoned beast stamped its feet on the road, everything around it emitted acrid smoke and burned.

“Huh, turtle?!”

While Lapis was looking up at the Flame Turtle with a look of embarrassment that made the determined expression on her face become insignificant.

Boom, boom!!

The summoned beast stomps away as soon as it appears, paying no attention to Lennok and Lapis who summoned it.

Lennok quickly climbed onto the turtle’s shell and held out his hand to Lapis.

“Come up. “We’re going to ride this guy and go all the way to the castle.”

Lapis, who belatedly came to her senses, held on to Lennok’s hand and managed to climb onto the tip of the shell.

Lapis asked, looking down at the distance from her shell with a confused expression.

“Well, wouldn’t it be too slow to get to the fortress?”

Although there are exceptions everywhere, most summoned animals have characteristics and abilities that match their appearance.

A turtle-shaped summon may have good durability and tenacity, but it is unlikely to be specialized in mobility.

If you ride this to the fortress, you might be caught by the pursuers who follow you right away.

“Everything becomes meaningless in the face of overwhelming output.”

However, Lennok smiled confidently even after hearing Lapis’ words.

“do not worry. “Even those who lack magical power have trouble with their brains.”

“Well, somehow the order seems to have been reversed – yaaaah!!”

The shells and bullets aimed at Lennok and Lapis rushed onto the turtle’s shell.

Doo doo doo doo!!!

However, rather than piercing the shell, the bullets were instantly melted by the flames erupting like lava from between the shells.

Like a living volcano, it continuously spews out flames from its back and raises a huge curtain of flames above its head.

“Hey, you crazy bastard!!”

Buaaaa!!

Mila, riding on a small bike, came close to the summon and screamed at Lennok.

“What should I do if you so ignorantly bring out a large summon!! “Are you planning on burning down all of Area 49?”

“It’s none of my business.”

Lennok responded leisurely.

“You never know. “If we destroy everything, wouldn’t it be easier to re-develop it later?”

“Fuck, that’s how it comes out, right?!”

He carries a shotgun on his waist and carries a bazooka on one shoulder.

Step on the bike steering wheel with one foot, adjust the direction, lean back, and load the missile in an instant.

Slam!!

Before I could lose sight of the agile and flexible movements, I aimed the muzzle and pulled the trigger.

Ugh!!

The missile hit the turtle’s side and exploded violently.

It sent out strong ripples in place and shook the summoned beast’s body sideways.

[Wow!!]

As the flame turtle screamed and shook her body in an unpleasant manner, Mila burst into laughter with an expression of joy.

“Hehehe!! How is it!! “If you attack the stomach instead of the shell, you won’t be able to move, right?!!”

“….”

Slam!!

Mila, who immediately received another missile from the armored vehicle following behind, finished loading and aimed at the ship.

As she turned around, a joy that could not be hidden appeared in her eyes.

“I’ll keep poking your stomach like this and you’ll flip over!”

“That’s a funny thing to say.”

Grumbling!!

Lennok said, keeping fire at her fingertips and leaving an afterimage as if she was swinging a brush in the air.

“Do you think I’ll just sit back and watch?”

“well. “That remains to be seen.”

Phew!!

From tens of meters in the air, a bird-headed giant holding a hammer with both hands falls down.

The image of Felix falling onto the shell, accurately measuring the distance in the air with a rush of hot air.

Kwaaaaaaa!!!

The turtle’s shell shook violently from the impact, but Lennok’s expression did not change.

“Quite a long time ago, we fought together like this.”

Felix muttered.

“It reminds me a lot of the old days.”

“…Wait.”

Rather, the expression of Lapis, who was holding on to the shaking shell behind him, became stiff.

“It can’t be true that all the mercenaries from the Magic Tower are away…!!”

Essentially, these are the core forces that should be stationed in the tower’s area and guard related facilities.

What does it mean that the strong, led by Felix and Tatiana, rushed out at the same time?

At this point, it means that a very powerful force has returned to the Magic Tower, so that there is no need to worry about the tower’s safety.

And it’s clear-

“It means you weren’t the only ones who weren’t late.”

Felix slowly tilted his head and looked at Lapis with hollow eyes.

“He’s back.”

I’m going to fall in… … !!!

A bright blue thunderstorm flashed across the dark cloudy sky, falling precisely onto the top of the high-rising magic tower.

Quaaaaaaa!!

Amidst the dazzlingly luminous and scattering fragments of lightning, a wizard wearing a black coat stands up.

“…!!!”

In one hand, he is holding a long metal stick that looks like a lightning rod like a wand artifact.

Following the wizard’s hand gestures, dozens of lightning bolts were bending across the dark cloudy sky, making thunderous noises.

Kugwagwagwagwa!!!

“That….”

Using the lightning rod he holds in his hand as a baton, he makes elegant hand gestures that seem to guide lightning to cross in the sky.

Each time, the intense lightning that falls on the tower illuminates the structure of the tower with blue light, adding color.

It’s so scary!!

A command of lightning as if to charge the magic tower rising in area 49 by giving it properties.

The moment when everyone bowed their heads, speechless, at the overwhelming yet strange actions of the wizard.

“….”

Lapis saw Evan, who was riding on the turtle’s back, and Lightning, who was riding on the top of the tower, staring at each other.
