Chapter 142

Preparation (2)

A similar feeling to when Rayan, who had lost his business in District 44 the other day and was looking for Lennok, followed him.

However, it is much more secretive and sharp than that.

It is proof that there is someone determined and following Lennok.

No, strictly speaking, it would mean that there are people following Ban.

And, of course, at a time like this, if there were forces trying to get behind Lennok, there weren’t that many candidates.

Lennok’s head began to spin rapidly, sifting through possible backseats.

‘Remnants of Ciger Bang or executives of Falchion. A member of the drug trafficking organization we met in the last nomination request... All of them are plausible, but the one with the highest possibility is definitely the exploration team.’

By now, it would not be strange for Irina to take action upon hearing the news that Brook and other members of the expedition had died.

It wasn’t strange at all if she put aside the cause of the incident and took revenge because of the deaths of her colleagues who were aiming for the talisman of medicine.

On the contrary, sending people in this way felt much more natural to Lennok.

He summoned Darby while lightly raising his mana.

“Check the CCTV around you. Are there any eyes watching this area?”

[Electronic devices within a radius of 100m are being blocked in real time. It’s not physically disconnected, it should be able to be restored within 5 minutes.]

“Blocking, not monitoring? Um...”

I couldn’t believe it, but did you intend to kill Lennok right here?

At least it was clear that the opponent was chasing him with that much determination.

[You have great confidence.]

“Let’s check where you have that level of skill.”

Lennok crossed his arms, turned his back, and waited for his opponent to approach.

The five fingers of the artifact Enakpil in the chest are fully prepared for use at any time.

For Lennok, who realized how to develop the magnetic realm, there weren’t really many factors that could hinder the use of magic.

The confidence that he could run away at any time, if necessary, turned into curiosity about the other person, waiting for him.

Lennox’s unchanging attitude immediately changed the momentum of the opponent who realized that he had been followed.

Ssssss...!!

A chilling noise, as if the wind was crawling low on the floor.

An aggregation of sharp killings becomes a series of streams and pierces every corner of the narrow street.

When he came to his senses, it had already turned into a black shadow, looking down at Lennok.

A man squatting on a lamppost staring at Lennok with a calm gaze.

Black cloak and shaggy hair. A warrior’s outfit that seems distant from the world.

However, the magical energy that drifts through its body is extremely pure and stable.

A warrior who has trained himself terribly. It is also a skill with a considerable level of stealth.

“I made a mistake.”

The young man who met Lennok’s gaze for a while opened his mouth slowly.

“You really didn’t seem to notice anything until I got here, but it must have been waiting for me here from the beginning.”

“........”

“Maybe this street isn’t your real address, it’s just an intermediary you can throw away at any time. Now that this has happened, I have no choice but to interrogate you myself to find out the information.”

“You’ve followed me all this way, and you have a long snout.”

“.....what?”

“If you have any questions, why don’t you ask them yourself?”

Lenok replied, pulling out a long stick from his bosom and holding it in his mouth.

It is a product made by solidifying herbal extracts, which are also used as portable health food.

It’s famous for its bitter taste, but it’s not overly disgusting either.

It was an impressive product with just the right level of disgusting taste, so Lennok also loved it.

Lennok had grown accustomed to the taste of this bitter watery medicine.

The young man smiled bitterly at Lennok’s words and said,

“Hey, I hope I’m not mistaken. Do you think we would have done this without doing any research on you?”

“.......”

“I have finished investigating how you move when there is no request. And I’ve finished figuring out what type of magic you use.”

“That is very interesting.”

The young man, ignoring Lennok’s plaintive reply, snapped his fingers, and at the same time a small bead rose from his hand and exploded, scattering thick powder all over the area in an instant.

“If you block the lightning magic, the width of your response will be drastically reduced...!! Take out all your cards!!”

Saying that, the young man became a shadow and quickly ran towards Lennok.

Wedge liquid!!

The speed at which it shoots out like a wave on the outside of a shaded building is unusual.

Judging from the flow of mana moving within the creature’s body, it didn’t seem like magic or magic, but it seemed to be a kind of martial art that deals with shadows.

Lennok, who was about to respond immediately, guessed the identity of the thick powder around him and shook his head.

“Looks like you picked up a strange theory somewhere. Are you aiming for a dust explosion?”

Was he spraying flammable particles into the air and hoping that Lennok would be swept away by the firepower he created?

The fact that even if it wasn’t for the pity of the archangel, there would be an artifact that could transfer people with a suitable penalty somewhere.

And if the metastasis ability that can metastasize living things works in a completely different way from magic, as just before.

Even the fact that Lennok would be able to use that metastasis ability.

He lightly snapped his fingers as he organized his thoughts.

[Harmonics]

At that moment, Lennok’s mana, which was trapped in the five ice piles, resonated all at once, creating a huge vibration.

Right in the stomach of a pierced young man.

“Aaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!”

Even warriors who have trained their bodies cannot bear the pain of having their internal organs turned into mash.

The crying young man hugged his stomach and collapsed, shivering.

The results of the short battle were overwhelming and even futile.

It seemed that he had prepared various things to deal with Lennok, but in the end, he couldn’t even touch anything properly.

Clots of blood pouring out of Goku dripped down the back, giving off a thick fishy smell.

If the young man is a proper warrior, he won’t die with just this.

There were still things I had to ask him.

“If you leave it to Sebastian, he will open your mouth on his own.”

Hiring a decent advisor is too easy for a broker.

Weeeeeeeeing...

Lennok, who was trying to lift him up by holding on to his drooping collar, paused and lifted his head at the disparate resonating sound coming from behind him.

Awesome!!

A single flash of light shot from the ripples rising from the air.

It was a sharp and swift action that could not be easily sustained, but Lennok did not avoid the approaching light, but only looked away.

A flash of light passed gently under Lennok’s arm, piercing through the frozen young man’s head and completely shattering it.

Kwaaaang!!

It was like losing the subject of interrogation right in front of his eyes, but Lennok was not disappointed.

The reason I tried to interrogate him anyway was to uncover the fact that he was related to the exploration team.

The answer was clearly in front of me, but I didn’t have to go far.

[I’m sorry to greet you in this way.]

His voice was cold enough to make you feel chilly just by hearing it.

It was to the extent that it was meaningless to gauge the hostility contained within it.

Clearly, the tone is conveyed using the waves that rise in front of your eyes, but the principle is not easy to guess.

Considering Sebastian’s explanation, this is probably a type of ability that has a different principle from the spells possessed by top-notch artifacts.

A disparate ability that only high-level artifacts have. A cold hand that can sacrifice even a colleague who does the same job without hesitation.

I didn’t even need to say who it was that appeared at this moment.

Irina Pesfield.

Lennok pretended not to know.

“Who are you?”

[Are you asking me that now?]

“Well. If you keep talking nonsense, what answer should I give you?”

Having said that, Lennok took out the supplement from his bosom and poured it into his mouth.

There was only one reason why Irina, who was watching the situation from afar, appeared here.

In the end, during the battle with the young man, Lennok did not reveal that he was a manipulative magician, and the young man could not get any clues from him.

In the process of dealing with him, he used the transfer ability built into the jewel, but the ability to interfere with space was often not noticeable even from the side.

Just now, she saw Lennok’s transfer ability, but on the contrary, she couldn’t help but be suspicious of him who didn’t use any manipulation-type abilities.

‘Let’s shake it some more and watch the reaction. I need to find out how to deal with provocation.’

Lennok was deep in thought as he quietly chewed on his nutritional supplements.

I have no intention of procrastinating on this. Because I had a lot of work to do.

That’s why I had to put an end to my judgment on her here and take action.

Depending on which side she has, you will have to change your opponent’s strategy completely.

[I say it without hesitation.]

Irina said in a frosty voice.

[If you return the item right now and ask for forgiveness, I will spare your life. But...]

“But?”

[If you are greedy for nothing, you should punish the thief who covets the owner’s property.]

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Lennok laughed.

A fleeting conversation. The first thing Lennok chose to communicate with those cold words...

“Aren’t you looking at the wrong person?”

It was a shameless pair of flippers.
