Chapter 195

Assistance (4)

“You mean the library?”

“Don’t get me wrong.”

Aris spoke quickly.

“No matter how much I think about it, I don’t think Lennok will be able to continue meaningful research in school for the time being, so wouldn’t it be nice to exchange opinions about theories like we did in the library before?”

“... ... .”

Lennok silently turned his head and looked at Aris’ profile.

Aris didn’t show anything, but I could roughly guess what the face next to the flowing hair was like.

It’s not that I don’t know how she feels when she says that.

It was probably because he was concerned that Lennok would get tired of getting caught up in useless work.

It just occurred to me that Aris didn’t seem to think so badly of the time they spent together.

Wasn’t Lennok the only one who liked the view of the library illuminated by the sun?

Lennox smiled and nodded with a sense of satisfaction.

Puff!!

“Wow!!”

“It’s hot... ... !!”

“sorry! sorry!!”

After acquiring the flame magic of the Blaber Magic Tower,

it became much easier to deal with the bullies who came to quarrel like this out of nowhere.

The development of the application of the crocodile.

When using saengdeukyeom (生得炎), the flames cling madly to living things around them.

The flames that devoured the group of them more voraciously reduced Lennok’s worries.

“Fire magic is unexpectedly useful for this kind of thing... ... .”

To be honest, it is impossible for fire magic to follow electric shock magic in a single battle.

The instantaneous power of lightning magic, which satisfies all three factors of high speed, high power, and high firepower, and its power is amplified by the square according to the user’s ability, is by far the strongest among attribute magic.

On the other hand, fire magic basically requires a certain amount of warm-up time to increase the size and firepower, and it is also necessary to take steps to concentrate the firepower.

It is a great help in raising the ‘scale’ of magic beyond the skill of the caster, but it is not a very helpful feature in one-on-one combat.

The battle would have been much easier if Lennok hadn’t disguised himself as Weizen in the battle against the drug lord or the young man in the Magic Tower.

Even so, I like the vast scale of the flame magic and the preheating method that causes a sea of fire with a single body.

If you continue to collect these magics and combine their characteristics well, it will be of great help in establishing a new magic system like Lenok’s own magic ‘Manri Printing’.

Lennok thought so as he passed through a dirty alleyway.

“Whoa... ... .”

Lennok’s expression remained intact as he walked down the filth-soaked streets.

The sighing face slowly turns into an expressionless expression, the thoughts are sharpened, and momentum naturally spreads to the surroundings.

Thinking about what I had to do today, I couldn’t distract myself just because of those guys.

The coat fluttered, revealing a faint glimpse of the artifacts dangling from the inside.

The amount of magic recovery is normal, and there is no problem with the manipulation ability. The sensory sphere always covers this area far and wide.

There’s nothing to write about, but after checking that his body was moving properly, Lenok walked slowly and checked his equipment one last time.

Clap! Clap!!

Both magazine and loading are perfect.

Artifacts also work smoothly, and Enakpil’s five fingers and Archangel’s compassion work perfectly.

I’ve been preparing for this day for quite some time.

If you think about who you have to meet from now on, even the slightest gap is not allowed.

On my way to the meeting place I had heard in advance, I turned my head when I suddenly felt a presence behind me.

The life reaction that suddenly appeared in the city right now. But nothing was left on the street.

“... ... .”

I can feel a clear presence right in front of my eyes, and I can catch someone’s breath even with my magical power detection, but I can’t see anything.

After a brief moment, Lennok realized that it was a work of art made entirely of intangible magical powers and shaped like a human.

At that moment, in front of my eyes, the human figure shattered and turned into a single sentence.

Realizing the meaning of those words, Lennok let out a blank laugh.

“under... ... .”

It is a skill that is not easily realized even though you can see and feel it with your own two eyes.

Seeing that Lennok’s mana detection didn’t show any signs, it must mean that he was manipulating mana from several kilometers away and projecting his intentions onto Lennok.

Regardless of the amount of magical power or the ability to manipulate magical power, it would only be possible if the magical power sensitivity reached the limit.

With this level of magic sensitivity, it was only possible if you really felt the magic outside of a thousand miles as if it were your own body.

Lennok’s steps immediately changed direction.

After walking for a long time in the direction indicated by magic power, I felt an intangible pressure slowly pressing down on my surroundings.

Whoa-

“... ... .”

A strange phenomenon, as if the gravity of the area is getting stronger.

Is this level of pressure being spread all over the place with only one’s own presence, without any magical powers or realms?

I’ve only heard of the name through rumors, but it’s the first time I’ve seen it in person.

As I passed through the narrow alley and turned to the place where the pressure was strong, the area around me suddenly widened and revealed a huge junkyard.

Thousands of damaged cars are thrown away like garbage.

Rusty fork cranes and container boxes are strewn about under the moon hanging in the dark night sky.

A man, legs crossed, looked down at Lennok, perched atop a pile of carcasses.

“nice to meet you.”

The man who was resting his chin smiled softly.

“Is this your first time seeing your face?”

Black shirt and slacks. The coat with thick fur is impressive.

Even though the long hair was tossed back casually, the impression is surprisingly neat.

His calm expression and gaze calm him down even in this chaotic junkyard, but the enormous magic that runs rampant around him is, on the contrary, extremely violent.

Overwhelming magical power that is not far behind Grisha.

It was the first time seeing his face, but he could tell by exchanging glances just once.

The leader who has obtained the strongest mercenary corps in the great city of Balkan.

Antares stood right in front of Lennok’s eyes.

“I’m rather sorry for making an appointment like this.”

Antares said that and slowly rose from his seat.

A slimmer physique than expected. 190 cm is a tall figure that can easily be seen.

“But you would have thought it would be like this. it is not so?”

“well.”

Lennok replied plaintively.

“It’s very different from the image I had in mind.”

When I heard about him from Dylan or Mila, I imagined him as a rambunctious and bulky warrior, but it was completely different from what I thought.

For a mercenary, he was a man with an incomprehensible smile and a soft tone that was quite foreign to him.

“Ha ha ha!! As Dylan said. He said he was a man with a lot of nerves, but he wasn’t wrong.”

Antares nodded behind Lennok as he said that.

“... ... .”

A distance well over a few hundred meters.

Sensing that leap was a very fleeting moment even with Lennok’s sense of magic power.

It is not easy to gauge whether even Lennok will be able to react if he strikes first from the square.

It was so obvious, but the opponent must have been a monster.

“What happened? Originally, I should have finished the story much sooner than this... ... I made a mistake because I was busy with work.”

“What do you mean?”

“If I had known you would come this far, I would have come to a clean conclusion the day I heard from Dylan.”

Dududuk!!

As soon as you open your finger, you hear a loud noise.

Antares, who warmed up by gently turning his head, said.

“Because I couldn’t do that, I have to find out who you are now.”

“It doesn’t matter anyway.”

Lennok also took out a cigarette from his bosom and turned his back while biting it.

As soon as you light it and inhale the purple smoke that spreads out, a distinctly different vitality rises from within your body.

The first prototype created through parallel alchemy research.

It’s not quite finished yet, but it’s a good time to test its performance.

“Because I’m also curious about which one you are.”

“Hmm?”

If it hadn’t been for the stories he’d heard from Dylan and Milla, Lennok would have passed him off as a mere mercenary leader.

However, hints that he has some involvement in the Black Consumer Project outside the Balkans.

In addition, after learning that the mercenaries were frequently absent from their seats, Lennok had one question in his head.

“Antares.”

Woowook!!

Lennok asked, looking down at his face.

“It turns into an anchor for this world.”

The entire sky of the junkyard tilted.

“... ... .”

As if the axis of space itself was being shattered, the entire area that Lennok hit was completely displaced.

Dozens of junk cars that fell from the sky changed direction all at once and landed on the side of the junkyard.

It was a level of fighting that was hard to believe even after seeing it with both eyes, but Lennok was convinced.

What Antares had just shown was nothing more than a fragmentary demonstration of how warriors of level 7 or higher ascend to the top.

‘Am I concentrating on digging into the inner world instead of interfering with the surrounding laws?’

Lennok already knew how to continue his research in order to reach level 7 as a mage.

The power to redefine the laws of the world and turn the environment in one’s favor by projecting one’s inner image onto the outer realm.

However, Antares, on the contrary, formed a local area limited to the body and bent space in a way that manipulated the laws applied to its own body.

Compared to the magnetic realm, the application range and usefulness are somewhat inferior, but in return, it frees one’s body from the yoke of physical laws.

It was truly a road to superman.

“Did you just call that realm a microcosm? It’s very interesting.”

Pagging support... ... !!!

As Lennok said, he gathered all the electric fields that couldn’t reach Antares and held them in his hand.

It’s the first time I’ve met a warrior of this level since Croken.

In order to prepare for the day when we meet the monster-like crocodile again in the future, it is desirable to extract the data now.

If a battle with Antares could not be avoided, it was only natural to make the most of it here.

The realm of magnetism and the inner world microcosm.

If both sides have reached the point where they can interfere with each other’s laws, when the two wills collide, which one will stand out more?

A high-level concept battle that has never been allowed before.

The feeling of the unknown territories aroused interest and curiosity in Lennok rather than fear.

“Show me more, Antares. Do you still have a lot left?”

Even though he knows better than anyone else that he has to be calm, it is difficult to hide the excitement that wells up from the depths of his heart.

The most perfect talent as a mage.

Lennok’s reason, who put all his mind into his talents and qualifications, peeks out and rejoices at the state beyond.

Is this what it feels like to face strong people who are truly tilting the world line?

A state where individuals let go of their individual identities and truly reign as more than a group.

The man standing in front of me was clearly drawing the line.

In an instant, more than dozens of magic and battles unfold in your head, carefully designing a path to victory.

Depending on what kind of card the opponent will play, prepare all kinds of countermeasures and cut corners to save lives, and add counterattacks that catch your eye.

Antares said he wanted to confirm Lennok’s qualifications, but he was wrong.

It was Lennok himself, and no one else, who wanted to be confident in his boundless potential and talent.

Woooooooooooo!!!

It wasn’t far. I was so sure.

In this sharp, unpredictable battle, if he refines his reason to the limit, Lennok can undoubtedly advance further.

The images inherent in the heart and reason in the head run amok at the same time, losing their form and distorting, and at the same time, the realm vibrates violently.

Even though no magic was used, waves

of lightning and heat waves raged inside the magnetic realm where the will soon returned to the law, and began to slowly rotate around Lenok.

“... ... .”

However, Antares saw Lennok’s appearance and calmed down his ferocious mana.

Looking up at the waves of lightning that converged and radiated above the two heads, he shook his head slowly.

As if the fierce battle just before had been a lie, his momentum changed in an instant.

“Don’t stop here.”

Antares let out a sigh when they saw each other unscathed.

“I did it just in case, but it’s already impossible to touch each other. If you do it right, it won’t be strange if someone dies.”

“... ... .”

Lennok didn’t answer, but he agreed.

It was only for a moment that they exchanged attacks and defenses with each other, but even with that fierce blow, no effective blow came out.

As Antares said, the only way to further check your skills here is to increase your output.

It wouldn’t be strange if Lennok and Antares collided with each other and the whole area would be destroyed.

If that’s the case, if an agent or even a giant like Evelyn appears... ... .

That wasn’t what either of them wanted.

“Whoa... ... .”

Lennox let out a heavy sigh as well, slowly dispelling his mana.

I understand it in my head, but it is not easy to accept it.

I was overexcited at the thought of being able to confirm a higher level, but I had to calm down.

The Antares office is a target to build a long-term cooperative relationship with.

Considering that a series of confrontations had been a condition for his cooperation from the beginning, it was only right that he quit when he lost the will to fight.

It was right, but... ... .

“It’s not that easy... ... .”

Saying that, Antares crossed his arms and tilted his head.

The overwhelming momentum that had filled the junkyard area had long since disappeared as if washed away.

“If you look at mana manipulation or manual fighting, you must have been successful in fighting, and your sense of distance is at a strange level that you are not a warrior... ... Looking into his hands, he must have killed hundreds of people. It’s so perfect in so many ways-”

However, his eyes were empty as he looked at Lennok.

“It is an incredible talent that was perfected overnight. What the hell are you?”

“Rather, that’s what I want to ask.”

Lennok sat down on a nearby bonnet, not paying attention to the cold gaze.

At first glance, it seemed that he had no intention of fighting any longer, but he did not have to stand for long.

After changing the cigarettes he smoked, his stamina began to run.

‘I’ll need a little more adjustment...’ ... ‘

First of all, I started manufacturing tobacco in a way to increase energy while minimizing side effects, but the efficiency was not as good as I thought.

It was unavoidable because it was still in the stage of making prototypes, but it was not enough.

After a while, the medical treatment will be over and the nerve control medicine using Malabeth will be completed, but before that, I had to find a combination formula that suits Lennok.

Lennok looked up at Antares as he rubbed the smoked tobacco out and took a new one out of his pocket.

“Extremely quiet walk compared to fame. Even if you have a tendency to not show your face, it is very suspicious.”

“... ... .”

“There’s no way a big man like you wouldn’t know what’s going on on this continent right now. Why don’t you just reveal where you stand?”

Like it or not, all the superhumans of this continent are now in a position where they have no choice but to answer the one base that Pandemonium is putting forward.

Due to the death of Cheongyeon, the monsters of the open sea are getting closer to the world little by little, and the aftermath is actually appearing in the world in various ways.

As Lapis said, the sky is about to open.

You’ll have to make a decision whether you’re against the pandemonium like Grisha or Ibelin, or you’re on their side like Croken or the drug lord.

And the man Lennok had seen and heard of, Antares, was by no means a man to run away from or turn a blind eye to these problems.

Rather, I don’t know if I’m moving after making a conclusion a long time ago.

The reason Lennok accepted Antares’ invitation was also to hear the answer.

A faint smile appeared on Antares’ face.

“It’s a fun world. There are so many people who want to hear my answer... ... You are not wrong in your words.”

“... ... what?”

“I’ve been busy with various things in the meantime.”

He said, lightly ignoring Lennok’s words.

“While resolving the issue with the Dominion, it was a bit difficult to check my feet. Like you said, I admit that there are some things I haven’t paid attention to in a while. I feel sorry for the members in many ways.”

After talking incomprehensibly, he walked slowly and sat down across from Lennok.

“If it’s a problem with the Dominion... ... Are you talking about an armistice? What is the meaning of an agreement that will become a piece of paper in the event of a war?”

Everyone on this street thinks it’s only a matter of time before war breaks out.

The balance of power will start to tip out of control once the vision is gone, and the City Council will not be willing to leave the Dominion alone.

The reason why Lennok hurriedly went to the Dominion was because he thought that there was no way to know when the agreement would be broken and a war would break out.

But Antares shook his head quietly.

“There will be no war.”

“what?”

“At first glance, this situation seems like a huge trend that cannot be denied, but in fact, it is all just a carefully planned strategy to induce confusion... ... Vulcan power should not be wasted in a place like this.”

“... ... .”

Antares continued while Lennok was silent.

“The moment the drug kingpin got his hands on the Republic and monopolized lands on both ends of the continent, it was almost inevitable, but things changed when he fell into a coma. This war can be stopped.”

“I don’t understand... ... So you’re saying you’re moving to stop the war with the Dominion?”

“It’s not necessarily my story alone.”

Antares laughed.

“In the end, what the old people in the city council want is not war, but the tension itself in wartime... ... As long as I can stabilize the inner turmoil, I don’t care who the external enemy is. I just slowly turn the tip of the knife while scraping that part well.”

“Turn the tip of the knife... ... Where do you mean?”

“To the traitors who would open up the heavens.”

The smile slowly faded from his face.

“I came to a conclusion a long time ago knowing the truth of the world.”
