Chapter 224

Apostasy (2)

“50 years.”

muttered McQueen.

“Fifty years have passed since I followed him down the mountain. There were so many things going on before the establishment of the cartel. Crawling through the darkness of the streets, enduring all kinds of humiliation and humiliation, there was not a day without inhaling the smell of blood. There were times when I drank the blood of the corpses I killed because there was no water to drink.”

The hollow eyes leave Lennok and begin to look out over the landscape.

“I have never regretted quitting penance. If you follow him, riches and glory are always with you. Every day was exhausting, but more than that, it was a rewarding moment. I didn’t even have time to reflect on each day.”

“... ... .”

“But I was too old when I came down the mountain. By the time I arrived in the Balkans, I was already close to eighty. I was on a different starting line from the beginning than other bosses who are still young.”

McQueen looked down at his hands.

His own tattoos, wrinkled and worn away from the wind and waves.

It was a sign of aging that no human could escape.

“Heavenly luck reached him and he ascended to the level of Ascension and was granted the rest of his life, but that is now the limit. I had denied it until now, but I knew it in my heart. That the gap with the other guys is getting wider... ... .”

McQueen’s sincere monologue made Lennox silently listen to his words.

Aging and death that high magicians face. What is the fear of facing the end of that long lifespan?

If it wasn’t for this place, there wouldn’t be many chances to hear it.

“My loyalty to the President has not changed even now. But unlike him, who still boasts of his prestige, I was becoming a useless part.”

“... ... .”

McQueen’s face, which had been muttering calmly, changed to the most painful.

He murmurs without hesitation the agony and anxiety accumulated over a hundred years.

Just spitting out the fear that was piled up and forgotten directly into language.

The fear of facing his own ugliness was destroying his grave face.

A final monologue leaked from his mouth as he covered his face with one hand.

“Before I was abandoned by him, I would rather... ... .”

“Did you think you would betray first?”

“well... ... . Now I don’t know. What I really wanted and longed for... ... . You are still pathetically searching for an answer.”

Looking at the self-helping McQueen, Lennox shook his head.

strong mental strength. Even superhumans of that level, with strong bodies and clear images, could not escape the fear of the passage of time.

As much as they had been complacent for decades, they could not stand the upcoming changes and collapsed.

“But now it is done.”

Crush the stone scepter in his hand, and at the same time as he powerfully slammed the ground,

Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!

A fierce force began to erupt from his thick body.

At the same time, the tattoos all over his body crawl along his skin, drawing a unique flow.

The dozens of rings attached to the end of the pole jingled madly.

“Confessing my ugly inner self gave me strength. This will soon be a promise and a constraint to prove my own sincerity.”

“Is it magic... ... A

way of confessing one’s inner self and motives and raising the power through gias.

Parden McQueen improved and used the conditions used by magicians who reached the limit to raise their level to the limit.

“Since this ordeal is also part of the process of finding answers, I will seize the last opportunity given by the president and return to his side.”

Suddenly, the pain on McQueen’s face disappeared without a trace.

Only the tattoo on the bald head that glared at Lenok was spinning around the top of his head, endlessly reciting incomprehensible verses.

While making a hand sign with one hand, keep pounding the stone with the other hand on the ground.

Incomprehensible words poured out of McQueen’s mouth, but Lennok just watched them.

It is because he has passed through countless fronts that he can know.

After all, winning or losing is not decided by this alone.

For Lennok, the first battle with the 7th level high magician.

It was far more important to memorize every single movement he made.

Aaaah-!!

A strong ripple was created on the floor following the movement of the stone pole that hit the ground.

A disparate power wriggles in the ripples that spread through the air, eventually opening up even the space.

‘This... ... .’

Lennok, who had many opportunities to encounter space-related abilities, knew it as soon as he saw it.

This is no ordinary spell or magic.

Rather, it was closer to a natural flow that does not go against the laws like the world’s order.

As if the door was opened through a legitimate contract.

[Release summoning declaration]

[Arju Marta]

Doo doo doo doo doo!!

At that moment, behind McQueen’s back, a huge statue of ten meters tall opened the ripples and appeared on the roof of a skyscraper.

The statue, summoned from a height of 800m, clung like a spider to the wall of the building and started staring at Lennok with an angry face.

McQueen howled in the midst of a violent storm.

“Raise your hand, wizard!”

“... ... .”

“I will start the takeover!!!”

* * *

“It’s started.”

Virgil nodded at the scene of the building seen across the screen.

At the same time as yellow ripples rose from the empty skyscraper, a huge stone statue appeared.

Doo doo doo doo!!!

Dozens of beams and barrages from the sky simultaneously rain down unharmed masses towards Lennok, but Lennok’s shield moves first.

In front of Lennok’s eyes, the shields, which were split into dozens of pieces, simultaneously compressed and rotated, lowering the hit area and lowering the angle at the exact moment, deflecting and deflecting all attacks.

Kagagak!!

“... ... !!”

Lennok laughed when he confirmed that McQueen’s mouth was twitching as he chanted the ceremony with all his might.

The shield used by Lennok is still the same as the common magic he used for the first time, and the number of overlaps is only five.

There is only one reason why Lennoch has not improved his shield magic until now, despite the strength of Girad’s full-strength attack.

This was because the capacity of the shield magic was reduced to such an extent that it was almost integrated with Lennok’s consciousness.

Shield magic is very useful, but on the contrary, it requires an enormous amount of mana every time you increase the strength.

The more mana is invested, the heavier the magic capacity and the harder it is for Lennox to handle.

From Lennok’s point of view, who freely handles the dispersion, concentrated compression, and rotation of the shield, it was much more efficient to shed the impact while maintaining the appropriate strength.

The important thing is not to completely block the attack, but to create a momentary time for Lennok to respond.

Lennok’s fighting style, which doesn’t have any mobility and doesn’t rely on the magic of a shield, is bizarre.

No one could say it was wrong.

‘I’ve roughly figured out the pattern.’

Long-distance bombardment is the most efficient means of attack that a magician can use, but on the contrary, because of that, the number of spells that can be used is standardized for each magician.

It wouldn’t matter if the battle became more intense, but in the current situation, it wouldn’t be easy to maintain more than this.

After completing the calculation, Lennok immediately began to roll his head.

‘Considering the tools we have... ... . I can end the game inside five times.’

“good.”

Woooooooooooo!!

Lennok, who raised his mana, raised his left hand in an instant.

Dozens of thick currents that flowed from between the five elongated fingers were twisted and tied in an instant and turned into a giant thunderbolt spear as it rotated.

Blitz-type unique magic property change

[Naraesal (螺雷殺)]

Pajijijijik!!!

The blue-light changgeuk that floated up on his left forearm emitted light as it swirled in the air.

In that brief moment, the tip of the spear blade was drawing a perfect spiral, showing how strongly it rotated after holding the electric shock.

As McQueen flinched, Lennok released his hand from holding the spear.

You don’t even have to throw it. According to Lennok’s will, the bolts fired became a flash of light and rushed towards the place where McQueen was.

Aaaaaang!!

A speed that transcends the cognitive gap. But McQueen did not escape.

I watched as Lennok parried all of his attacks from the front.

In addition, if you evade here, those who get hit by that lightning bolt become your summons.

“Huh... ... .!!”

McQueen, who made a handshake in an instant, slammed the ground with a stone.

[Inner Sea Gate]

Cuckoo Cuckoo!!!

Like a giant mouth rising from the ground, the summoned arched door blocked Lennok’s light.

Lennok looked at it and murmured.

“You should have avoided it.”

The spear blades of the arrowheads, twisted to the limit, rip open the thick iron walls of the inner sea gate and burrow into the interior.

Kagagakak!!

Just as when destroying a shield, it twists and shatters power from the inside, so the siege magic that is most optimized for breaking through barriers and tearing flesh.

It is more like a battering ram rather than a spear.

The spear of the brain that broke through the inner sea gate at once rushed towards McQueen.

Kwaaaaang!!

The strong arms of the stone statue standing behind him grabbed the bolts and twisted them.

Ddu-du-dududuk!!

“Ugh... ... .”

McQueen’s body was safe by a narrow car, but the cost was considerable.

The electric light that had pierced Arzumarta’s left arm passed through the back of the statue’s shoulder, and a huge shockwave exploded.

TOOOOONG!!

The thunderbolt flowers blooming over the blue sky are shattered and disappear in the cold wind.

McQueen’s face hardened in an instant at the firepower beyond common sense.

At first glance, it looks like they exchanged fierce battles, but the reality is different.

All of McQueen’s attempts so far did not work, and on the contrary, the first magic thrown by Lennok blew off the statue’s left arm.

The rooftop of a skyscraper.

Even in an unfavorable battlefield surrounded by huge summons with limited space to escape, Lennok saw right through to the core.

If the firepower is the same, in some ways the McQueen side, which has a wider area of attack, is rather impossible to avoid.

Lennok looked up at McQueen and asked.

“Don’t you think it’s too cramped for the stage you’ve prepared?”

“... ... .”

McQueen flinched and averted his gaze at the intense gaze that emanated from the blue eyes.

“The skirmish is over. If you really want to live and find the answer, you will have to do your best from now on.”

At the same time as he said that, Lennok quickly started making hand signs with both hands hanging down.
