Chapter 12

“This is a request from the Krimgal Mercenary Office. They plan to recapture a building, but they say they need fire support from the mage.”

“Is that why the pay is so high?”

Jenny nodded at Lennok’s question.

“The request from Balitz did not cover any occupational group, so it was only a consistent payment of 50 million cells. Originally, it was customary to greatly increase the payoff when appointing a wizard. Demand is plentiful, but supply is always short.”

At Jenny’s crooked smile, Lennok sipped his glass and fell into trouble.

It’s a mercenary office... I thought it would be the Antares office with Dylan if we got involved again, but I didn’t know that I would be working with another office so quickly.

“I want to hear more details. Exactly which building do you want to recapture?”

“They say that scavengers are occupying a common office that was currently used for financial consulting purposes and using power generation facilities without permission. The company said that they were kicked out without even lowering the breaker for fear that the transaction information would be initialized. Krimgal will accept the request from the consulting company and begin the recapture operation.”

“The mercenaries hired by the consulting company want to hire me separately.”

“Exactly. Krimgal also tends to do well among the private offices that have set up business here, so I know they originally have one or two magicians, but seeing as they are looking for magicians separately, it seems that they have a problem there too.”

“Can you hear what exactly is meant by fire support?”

Jenny shrugged.

“It is not difficult. Wizards like Ban are usually quite helpful in street fighting. Just blow some magic behind the mercenaries. It’s much easier than infiltrating a cosmetics manufacturing company’s factory and destroying it whole.”

“Hmm...”

Lennok put on a worried expression, but he had listened to her and made up his mind.

Seeing Jenny say this far, it seems clear that the difficulty of the job is not that high compared to the generous pay.

Besides, if it was just a matter of projecting firepower from behind instead of directly facing each other, wouldn’t it be a great opportunity to try out the auxiliary magic he started researching?

Jenny stared blankly at Lennok, then calmly held out another file folder in front of him.

“If you don’t want to get involved with mercenaries, there are other things. It’s all work that I nominated you for. It seems that the story of the wizard who came back alive from Croken’s hand has become a little famous on this floor?”

“.......”

Without Ibelin, life would be as good as dead, but what meaning would that have?

Jenny, unable to see that Lennok’s eyes had calmed down, spoke cheerfully.

“Because I have a lot of time. It doesn’t matter if you decide slowly. But personally, I think the Creamgal side is the best. Mercenaries are very sensitive to money matters, so it’s not uncommon for mercenaries to take away or steal the promised money.”

“Does that happen a lot here?”

“Is there one or two bullies and trash on the floor? There are so many people who cut off their hands and feet neatly just for errands.”

“........”

“Because we can prevent such a situation, guys like us live off the commission. Selling credit and safety. For both clients and freelancers.”

I feel it every time I meet her, but one word is really liquid.

Personnel Office. To put it bluntly, she arranged work and sucked the blood, but she looked confident and not at all timid.

Lennox smiled and nodded.

“Cream Gall. would. Date and location?”

“Area 53. 11 a.m. tomorrow. I’ll let you know the exact location via communication.”

Mercenary Office

“It’s time to come...”

Dray Krimgal, director of the Mercenary Office in Krimgal, swallowed nervously as he looked down at his watch.

Although they are basically called mercenaries, strictly speaking, they are part of a private military company (PMC).

The services provided are powerless. The solution can also be said to be a bit drastic.

In addition, the Krimgal mercenary office he runs is not a large-scale office that has grown into a franchise like Antares and Plato, but is a newcomer who is just starting to establish itself.

Even so, the mercenary corps is a famous workplace that wizards avoid, but the scale is not that large, so the opportunity to return to him is inevitably small.

Even if you try your best to hire one or two people, you will soon be scouted by another organization or you will get tired of the difficult mercenary work and leave.

He had been trying to minimize the gap in his magical powers by constantly hiring at least two wizards, but things broke when he accepted this request.

“I thought the two wizards I hired this quarter would hold hands and go out...”

Wei An, a young man who was warming up next to Dray’s sigh, grinned.

“That’s why I told you not to roll too hard from the start, Captain.”

“It wasn’t even hard work. I listened to them from start to finish and asked them to endure this quarter, but they hit me in the back like this!”

“It must have been too harsh for the delicate sandals.”

“That’s right, let’s not worry about what has already happened!”

Kidel, a bespectacled woman holding a long gun and smiling, and Ike, a bald giant with thick forearms.

In addition, seeing dozens of mercenaries chattering around Dray, he let out a weak laugh.

“done. I’ve been assured by Jenny, so until this day, I’ll still be able to find a proper wizard. I’ll have to try flirting with chicks again after work.”

“Is the wizard coming this time a good guy?”

“They say he’s a very talented lightning wizard. It will be of great help in this operation. Even if that toxic woman died soon, she was the one who insisted that she receive 20 million cells.

Elemental Wizard. In particular, if you are a lightning wizard capable of spraying ranged attacks, its value is indescribable.

Especially in a job where the pay and scale were so large that the entire mercenary corps had to move, like this one, the sense of stability would be incomparable to other forces.

It was for this reason that Dray had a big heart and decided to pay 20 million cells.

There will be no shortage of abilities. .... I don’t know what his personality is like.”

It was only once or twice that he got tired of the mages’ rotten personalities and depravity. The moment Dray raised his head thinking that way.

Someone came out from the side of the alley with slow steps.

A young man with a calm expression in a shirt. He holds a sandwich in one hand and slowly examines his surroundings while mumbling.

“......”

The moment Dray and the young man’s gaze met, he immediately stopped walking.

The mercenaries who were watching everything behind him groaned.

“no way.”

“Isn’t it the captain?”

Before Dray can answer, the young man stops in front of them.

said Lennok, munching on his sandwich.

“Krimgal Mercenary Office?”

“.....Half-mage?”

“Right.”

Lennok ate the rest of the sandwich and stuffed the rest of the plastic into the bag he was carrying.

A paprika sandwich he made for his own health. Ironically, paprika was also paprika in this world.

It tasted awful and dry, but Lennok was enduring many things while thinking about his health.

“Are you smoking before going into operation?”

Kidel, furious at the sight of Lennok taking out a cigarette and biting it into his mouth, shot at Lennok, but Lennok replied without batting an eye.

“It is necessary.”

I have no intention of making them understand why he smokes.

In fact, I had already smoked one to catch my breath while I was coming, but I took a new pill to be safe.

As much as the Krimgal Mercenary Office had paid a considerable amount of money, Lennok was willing to spare no effort.

Dray looked at Lennok in silence before opening his mouth.

“This side paid 20 million cells just to hire you.”

“.......”

“I hope there will be no hindrance in the operation.”

“I will do my best.”

Unlike the shocking first appearance, which made it hard to believe that he was going on an operation with mercenaries, Dray nodded and turned his back at Lennok’s calm answer.

“Now that the wizard has arrived, let’s begin the final briefing.”

As he said that, he took out his laptop from his backpack and opened it.

After manipulating the button a few times, blue light emitted from the lens attached to the top of the laptop, creating a hologram.

It was a schematic drawing of a three-story, one-story building.

Dray rotated the hologram all the way around so that everyone could see it, and then began to explain.

“Currently, the place where scavengers occupy and steal power from power generation facilities is the roof of the third floor. And the two route elevators and stairs going up there are guarded by armed forces gathered from the three scavenger branches.”

Considering that there is usually one scavenger branch per district, scavengers from three districts participated in this operation.

Among the scavengers, it is a unit that gathers magic users who have some fighting ability. Even if it’s not difficult to deal with, it’s never an opponent to be on your guard against.

While saying that, Dray quickly displayed numbers on the hologram and continued his explanation.

“I don’t know what these rats are doing to drain power, but what we need to do doesn’t change. As previously discussed, while Squad 3 penetrates the first floor and Squad 1 enters through the windows on the second floor, Squad 2 infiltrates directly to the rooftop.”

Lennok stood at his side, his arms folded, listening to Dray’s explanation. He spoke fast, but his pronunciation was clear and stable, so he had a knack for calming the listener.

If there is a field marshal’s lumber, it’s probably referring to people like him. Watching the scene, I suddenly wondered what kind of person the mercenary named Antares was.

If it’s enough to command a strong man like Dylan, Antares is also a very good commander and mercenary.

While lost in thought, Dray’s explanation continued.

“Once Squad 2 kills the forces occupying the power plant and confirms that the server is safe, Squad 3 and Squad 1 sweep the scavengers from above and below at the same time towards the stairs. After that, the 2nd squad coming down from the roof and the 1st and 3rd squad coming up from the bottom repeat the same operation. Have you checked everything?”

“““I see!!!”””

After hearing the mercenaries’ resounding confirmation, Dray finished his explanation while looking at Lennok.

“Wizard, after projecting as much firepower as possible at the first charge, follow the 3rd squad and help support from the bottom all the way.”

Lennox nodded silently. To put it simply, isn’t it just saying stay behind and use magic whenever the situation arises?

Compared to the request to infiltrate the manufacturing plant and explode the basement, it was a much easier task.

As expected, as Jenny said, it didn’t seem like it was too difficult.

‘No, in fact, wouldn’t it be that Balitz’s request was too difficult?’

Dylan is a very skilled person, and he draws attention appropriately by himself.

Of course, since Jenny knew Dylan’s skills, she wanted Lennok to experience the corporate request even if it was unreasonable, but it was difficult for Lennok to understand her favor to that extent.

“good. So let’s get started right away. To each position!”

After hearing Dray’s words, the mercenaries picked up their equipment and started to move in perfect order.

Some people have unique equipment such as mechanically designed hammers or tonfas, but the most diverse types are swords and firearms.

In a world where the body can be strengthened with magical power, it is not strange that melee weapons that maximize power and long-range weapons that can produce effective power with little physical ability coexist.

It’s just that the moment comes when the miracle of magic is more desperate than all such means, so the people who roll on this floor must be desperately wanting and hoping for a wizard.

As I walked all the way along the mercenaries, the street suddenly began to weather.

A three-story building located at the end of an alley. In the chaotic appearance of messy wires sticking out of the windows, there are clearly armed people hanging out at each window and entrance.

A unified outfit with equipment including various firearms. Even the gentle flow of magic.

It was said that it was an armed force, and it was definitely different from the existing scavengers that Lennok knew.

From the 50th District, it is a lawless zone where even the police in Balkan have completely given up. That’s why even scavengers can occupy the offices of other companies without permission and openly stretch.

It would be unfair for a consulting company that lost its office, but aren’t they the ones who set up an office here because of the low rent and almost non-existent taxes?

There are times when other means of force, rather than the police, are needed to solve these headaches. Just like the Krimgal Mercenary Office that came to this place.

Watching the wires sticking out of the window all at once lifted their heads to the roof of the building, Lennok calmly thought.

‘It would be much more comfortable after dropping one Thunder Calling from the start.’

If you drop lightning on the power plant located on the roof, you can turn all the scavenger’s tricks to dust at once, but the server may go down in the aftermath, so you should avoid it.

Among the conditions of the request put in by the financial consulting company, there was a saying that there should be no damage that would cause the server’s data to be lost.

It’s a tricky condition, but it’s a job that needs to be done as the payoff is the payoff.

The mercenaries each picked up a cover, hid themselves, and slowly began to move in line with Dray’s gestures.

He whispered in a low voice to Lennok, who was following him.

“It’s a low probability, but it’s possible that they also hired wizards. If you have any clues, please tell me right away.”

To put so much effort into a scavenger full of impoverished people must mean that this job is very important to them.

“Okay...um?”

Lennok, who was about to answer Dray’s words, hesitated when he felt a stare piercing him with magical power.

A strange feeling for the first time. However, Lennok’s powerful magic perception immediately grasped that this was a visual substitute created using magic.

Someone is looking down on them from above.

The moment he realized that, Lennok unwittingly stretched out his magic power and seized the branch of his gaze.

[Ugh...!!]

Someone’s astonished voice came through the magical resonance. Lennok’s sensitive magical energy instantaneously picked up that sense and identified the location.

...found.

Pajijik..!!

A man kneeling in an isolated room on the third floor of a building and using magic.

I don’t know how. But Lennok instinctively sensed that he could do more than this.

The magician’s gaze extended by his search magic was caught with his own will and he broke it.

Crunchy!!

Along with an inaudible noise, the magical energy that had been radiating from the inside of the wizard was seized by Lennok’s magical energy and severed.

A recoil that shatters the magic being cast.

Lennok, seeing the wizard collapsing with blood dripping from his nose and ears, spoke to Dray.

“The opposing wizard just used a search spell.”

“....yes?”

“Immediately after detecting the magic, I dug into the fork in reverse and subdued it. I think we should get going right now.”

It’s such an absurd statement that it’s hard to believe even after hearing it with your own ears.

However, when Dray heard that, he inadvertently turned his gaze to the third floor, and saw that the armed forces, who had been maintaining tight security, were suddenly moving busily.

An empty gap that was not expected at all. Sensing that this was an opportunity, Dray immediately beckoned to the mercenaries.

“let’s go...!!”

Quaang!!

The mercenaries who received the order immediately threw something in their arms and ran forward.

Push Yi Yi...!!

Suppress the sight first with a flash grenade, then spray a smoke screen to create a path.

Along with him, the mercenaries from the Krimgal office began to run across the asphalt without a sound.

Sensing that something has happened, the scavenger’s armed men respond by pointing their guns at them.

Seeing that, Lennok immediately raised his mana.

Suppression

‘At the beginning of the entry, it was said that the strongest possible firepower support was needed.’

The most effective magic to subdue the scavengers who are shooting at the window right now.

Lennok quickly found the correct answer and projected his will into the overflowing mana.

Pajijijijik!!

A bright blue current radiates light as it bounces between the two raised fingers.

The principle was distorted so that a chain reaction was possible by setting the direction with magic power to a bundle of lightning that seemed to jump out of the hand at any moment.

Tzpapapapapat!!

The electric current shot from Lennok’s hand split like dozens of chains in the air and spread out in all directions.

[Chain Lightning]

“Does not matter. It’s not something I started just to stop here.”

The man who came down from the wire put his hand in his arms and said.

“.....It’s too soon to be stopped by just one mercenary.”

Dray’s head begins to spin rapidly in the immediate situation.

What is the most dangerous and deadly method among the things that can come out from the inside of the bosom?

Pistol grenades, or smoke screens or flash grenades to obscure the line of sight.... Either way, the moment the back of the man’s hand reveals skin again, the battle resumes.

And the man betrayed all of Dray’s expectations and took out an object many times more dangerous than those.

A disposable syringe with a long needle protruded from his arms.

As soon as he saw the syringe, Dray, who felt a chill in his spine, raised the muzzle and shrieked at the mercenaries behind him.

“Stop!!”

Tatatatatatang!!

The gunners opened fire straight at the man, but his reaction was much quicker than that.

The man, who deflected the mercenaries’ fire by moving quickly to the left, inserted the syringe into his arm without hesitation and pushed the cylinder back in.

Fu-wook!

“Whoa...”

The effect of administering the unknown liquid to the body appeared immediately.

As the man’s eyes turn black, his arms begin to tremble.

A chilly black mist spread around his body, slowly soaking the floor.

The mercenary corps continued to pull the trigger at the sight, but the moment the man stomped his foot, everything went wrong.

Kwajik!!

“Aaaaagh!!”

It took an instant for the mercenary, who was aiming at the man with a rifle to the side of the formation, to have a fist-sized hole punched in his chest.

“Hansen!!”

Ike called his name and quickly poured the potion into the wound, but it was too late. The blood leaking from the chest was so great that it was simply impossible to stop it with medicine.

Eyes that became empty in an instant and a mouth that opened in a daze. There is no breathing, only minute spasms are full. It was an instant death.

“Do you know why I didn’t kill the guys who came up here first?”

The man said as he wiped his blood-soaked hands.

At some point, he heard Hansen’s beating heart in his hand.

In that brief moment, it pierced the opponent’s chest and stole the organs of a living person.

“To use this power... you need a living fuel.”

With those words, the man began to chew and eat the heart he was holding.

“.......”

The bizarre yet horrific sight, the mercenaries lost their words and raised their weapons.

If that statement wasn’t false, it was obvious that I didn’t have to ask whose heart the next fuel would be.

In the cool air, completely different from the leisurely atmosphere before, Lennok observed the man closely without raising an eyebrow.

To be precise, the unknown aura flowing around him.

It’s sticky yet flexible, slow yet nimble. It occupies the surface without moving in a line, and rises from bottom to top without falling from top to bottom.

A quality that is closer to going against the order rather than conforming to it.

‘It’s black magic.’

It was the first time I had seen it in person, but it was a familiar movement.

The number of wizard players who chose black magic as the mainstream in WORLD was not small, and the proportion of related NPCs was considerable, so Lennok was able to quickly guess the identity of the syringe the man used.

‘Seeing that they covet human flesh, it seems to be on the side of the Vampiric Order, and there is some possibility of Bloodia size. As long as the related magic system remains in this world...’

The Vampiric Order literally refers to magicians who borrow the characteristics of vampires, and Bloodia Size is a beast technique that strengthens itself by taking the other person’s flesh and blood.

Among the dark magic, they were famous sorcerers and sorcerers for gore, so Lennok remembered their names.

‘I know the side effects are considerable, but did you decide to compete here? It’s not an easy thing to see.’

Seeing that one mercenary couldn’t even react and had his heart stolen, Lennok couldn’t be careless.

The magic of the barrier surrounding the body was additionally added to enhance the senses.

In the meantime, the man was turning the war situation to his advantage by indiscriminately stirring up the mercenaries.

“Keep the formation!!”

“We have to stop him from going wild..!!”

“Damage Delrin!”

However, the movement of the mercenaries who have to deal with the men while protecting the already incapacitated 2nd squad is severely restricted, and the men, on the contrary, receive some of the mercenaries’ attacks, but the attack speed does not slow down at all.

In the end, it wasn’t long before the formation broke through and the mercenaries began to die indiscriminately.

“Aaaaagh!!”

It’s natural that you don’t know when you’ll die since you’re working on this floor, but it’s not easy to maintain your composure when your colleagues are dying one after another in front of your eyes.

As the flowing blood increased and the number of dying lives decreased, the mercenaries fell into a panic and their limbs became stiff and their senses became dull.

If you keep going like this, you won’t even be able to use your hands properly, and you’ll just perish.

After making that decision, Lennok immediately gave up the magic he was aiming for in order to subdue the man, and piled up new magic.

The mana he had accumulated for the use of magic in advance is scattered in the air, but Lennok’s powerful mana control ability catches all the scattered mana particles and reconstructs them in the image.

A talent of reversal that controls mana in particle units and extracts fruit beyond efficiency.

If the wizard who had died on the 3rd floor had seen this scene, he would have had enough to roll his eyes, wanting to kill him no matter what.

The magic completed at frighteningly fast speed omits the inaudible chant and the invisible hand sign and descends from the air.

[Thunder Calling]

A flash of blue lightning breaks through the dry sky and lands in the middle of the roof of a 4-story building.

Kwaaaaang!!

Power so strong that a building supported by solid concrete would shake violently.

However, the range of damage caused by the lightning was exquisitely missing the area where the mercenary group and power generation facility were located.

This is because Lennok deliberately adjusted the power of lightning by accurately calculating the amount of magic power and the range of damage with his transcendent perception.

It was impossible because I couldn’t properly locate it before I climbed up the building, but it’s not impossible given that I was aware of all the coordinates of the space in this wide-open electric field...

Even though it was only the second time he used magic, Lennok’s mighty talent was making that ridiculous control possible.

Whoa!!

Even when he saw lightning falling in front of his eyes and seeing the mercenaries with a distraught expression, Lennok did not stop moving his magic.

It would be nice if the man was hit directly by this single attack and rendered unable to fight, but if it wasn’t, it was clearly pictured in Lennok’s mind.

A very fleeting precursor before lightning strikes. If you can notice it visually or intuition, it is also possible to avoid it.

Having already experienced the threshold of a creature called Croken, Lennok’s thinking was such that he could easily calculate the movements of any superhuman.

The most likely is to jump in between the mercenaries on the contrary and get away from the damage of the range attack or use them as a shield to endure.

And if the man really dodged the lightning strike in that way, the next target he would aim for was—-

woah!!

It was Lennok himself who cast the magic. The strong impact

of talent

shattered the solid shield, and Lennok’s body floated backwards, but Lennok was not taken aback.

He had guessed that the man would pursue Lennok in pursuit of the use of magic, and he had piled up many shields.

In addition, instead of increasing the strength by adding magic to each shield, Lennok deliberately took measures to absorb the shock by breaking it.

If you know where you are coming from and are prepared, you can handle anti-tank weapons.

Lennok’s shield was shattered by the man’s arm, which was swung at an incomparable speed, but Lennok’s body was still intact.

“Wizard!!”

The startled mercenaries moved quickly, but the man swung his arms vigorously once more instead of running away.

He was convinced that it would be better to kill Lennok even if the mercenaries attacked than to miss this opportunity.

As much as that, the majesty of the thunderbolt he used was at a level that could not be easily found among the same wizards.

Wedge liquid!!

What is it that cannot break a shield that has been destroyed once?

It didn’t seem difficult at all to break through Lennok’s few remaining defenses and place five fingers at his heart.

However, Lennok did not retreat or use additional shield magic despite the man’s onslaught.

He just quickly raised the revolver he was holding in his hand.

Immediately after using [Thunder Calling], the prepared magic power is arranged in perfect order on the left hand, and it assembles concrete thoughts like a flash of light.

Woooooo...!!

In an instant, the pistol turned blue and began to shake, but I felt a sense of stability that was definitely different from before.

Currently, with Lennok’s capacity, it is impossible to double cast ordinary common magic, but the case is different for auxiliary magic, especially shooting auxiliary magic, which consumes relatively little capacity and horsepower and is mastered through gameplay.

I fully remember which sub-magic is effective depending on the type of firearm, in which order the sub-magic should be placed so that it can produce the most powerful power most efficiently.

[Aim Correction]

[Acceleration Acceleration]

[Recoil Control]

[Burst Fire Correction]

Four assistive magics specialized in shooting correction.

One is a secondary magic that simply enhances the power of shooting, but the story is different if four magics are used at once.

The synergy that occurs when stacking 4 sub-magic spells in one shot increases the power of bullets explosively.

Ride and ride!!!!

Five bright blue flames shot out from the muzzle like lightning and hit the man’s whole body.

Two feet under the stomach, two feet under the abdomen, and one foot for the head.

[Aim Correction] activated at close range makes it easy to neutralize a man’s attack in a single moment, and accurately identifies only the parts with the highest lethality.

Contrary to the man’s arm, which had been dyed in black, cutting through the air in vain, all of Lennok’s gunshots hit the critical point.

“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!”

The man who had been exposed to five counterattacks in just one moment threw away all means of attack and struggled in pain.

The man’s skin, which had become hard enough to easily deflect ordinary gunfire while injecting drugs with black magic, seemed to have alleviated the shock, but it was inevitable that his physical functions would be incapacitated for a moment.

Lennok didn’t miss the gap and quickly raised his horsepower to finish it off.

At such close range, the most effective attack is fixed.

Lenok’s cold reason perfectly understood that even though his body was weak and could go between life and death with a single mistake, sometimes he should not be afraid of close combat.

chin!

Lennok grabbed the man’s lower jaw with his shield-covered hand and, as it were, tightened his hand and raised his mana.

Nothing has changed from when I first escaped the factory.

Lennok has risked his life every moment to survive and will continue to do so.

This magic was tantamount to a lantern reminding Lennok of his will.

[Bolt]

Pajijijijijik!!!

An electric current that was incomparable to when he first mastered magic and flashed blue flowed through his five fingers and wriggled.

A dazzling blue lightning bolt that even obscured Lennok’s vision came out and hit the man’s head.

“Ahhhhh....Ahhh!!”

An antipersonnel magic used for the purpose of stunning. It is also a high firepower that raised the output to the end.

For an ordinary person, it wouldn’t be strange if he turned his head to ashes in one fell swoop.

However, the man was wriggling like crazy even after allowing the bolt magic defenselessly.

“Can you hold out?”

The moment you realize that you have not been able to subdue it at once, shake it off immediately and step back. A frighteningly calm response.

There are monsters that catch bullets with their eyelids, but there’s no reason why you can’t survive just because you’ve been hit by lightning magic in the head.

After dealing with the superhuman Croken Asylus, Lennok was confident that he would not be embarrassed by any opponent.

[Reloading acceleration]

The revolver was loaded in an instant before the man recovered, and he pulled the trigger again.

bang! bang!

One shot in each eye. In the meantime, one foot misses and hits the forehead.

No matter how much he strengthened his whole body with black magic, he couldn’t even make his eyeballs hard, so he heard the sound of a man’s eyeballs exploding through his eyelids.

“Aha haaaaaaa!!”

Even in that state, the man went mad and swung his arms at random in an attempt to somehow land an effective blow on Lennok.

Lennok looked down at the man calmly without confrontation this time.

Kwajik!! Fuhwaak!!

It was because the mercenaries who ran in the meantime inserted the weapons directly from behind the man and threw them on the floor.

“This bastard...!!”

“Hold on tight, everyone!”

Doo doo doo!!

“Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!”

With blades planted all over his limbs, other mercenaries fired at him to kill him, but the man only howled in pain and trembled without any loss of strength.

Even in a downed state, he was so full of strength that even the other mercenaries who were holding him staggered briefly.

The mercenaries clucked their tongues at the sight of a man who had poured more than one magazine of bullets into it and yet it didn’t work at all.

Their shots, which were not aimed at the eyeballs like Lennok, did not seem to cause any pain to the man.

“This monster...”

“Is it possible to kill here?”

“Captain, how are you going to do this?”

The mercenaries looked at Dray with hot eyes.

Quite a few members have already lost their lives at the hands of men. There was nothing more embarrassing than that if we couldn’t tie a knot right here and now.

Dray, who had been holding him with his sword tucked into the man’s left shoulder, thought for a moment before looking at Lennok.

With his mediocre knowledge of magic, it is impossible to accurately determine the man’s condition right now.

There was only one subject who could hear the drug used by the man and his opinion on it.

“Wizard, what else can you do?”

At Dray’s question, all the other mercenaries also shut their mouths and looked at Lennok.

The three lightning magics he showed in the previous battle made them remember what a real wizard was.

The skill of bringing out blue lightning from the dry sky as if it were its own was by no means a lie or an illusion.

“It’s black magic.”

Lennok replied.

“The principle itself is not that complicated. It’s a way of sacrificing various things instead of greatly increasing strength, resilience, and durability. Basically, it seems to be a method of supplementing human flesh or blood to use it as power, and when it becomes insufficient, thinking ability including language ability decreases.”

The man apparently spoke and moved normally for a while after the drug was injected, but his mind was so unstable that he couldn’t continue talking properly for a while while Lennok dropped a lightning bolt and withstood the attack.

If you kill people without rest and don’t consume their blood and heart, your thinking ability will be dangerously low.
