Chapter 405

Need for Speed (1)

“It’s not bad that the color doesn’t change... ... .”

It is not too much to wish for both eyes to change to different colors when the demonic eyes are awakened.

Even a minor change in appearance can be a variable in a battle between high-ranking superhumans.

It’s okay if only a faint golden ring comes to mind in this way, but the process of opening the demonic eye is not over yet.

It was the first time that Oliviera showed her magical eyes in person.

After that, he completely controls his magical powers, observes the act of handling his supernatural powers, and gives only light advice.

A series of information exchanges, as if they were monitoring and checking each other, which was more like a transactional relationship than a master and a disciple.

However, with just that, a new reaction started to form in the right eye, so should I admit that the ability and performance are certain?

The guidance ability of a high-ranking magician who knows better than anyone else about the combination of abilities and spells.

In the meantime, Lennok tried to figure out what the cartel chairman wanted from him, but it wasn’t easy.

The chairman understood all too well that not revealing his true intentions might be the most effective method.

‘It’s not something that can be finished right away. I have no choice but to focus on what I have to do.’

The moment Lennok brought his eyes closer to the mirror to take a closer look.

Clink!!

The vibrating mirror shattered and shattered.

“ah... ... .”

Fragments of the broken mirror grazed his forearm, and blood began to form.

Lennok’s expression sank deeply as he inadvertently placed his hand on the sharp pain he felt between them.

It was because the hot blood dripping from his forearms clearly showed how weak and precarious his balance was.

“... ... .”

It is different from the fatigue and injuries caused by the aftermath of intense combat.

Normally, she only protects herself with a shield and a carapace. It is not a powerful superhuman attack, but a body that has to worry about injuries from broken mirror pieces.

Lennok stared blankly at the shattered mirror pieces on the sink, then placed his forearm in the running water to wash away the blood.

Dabi, who looked at it from the side, said.

[I’ll order a new mirror from the auction. This time with a much harder one.]

“... ... okay. thank you.”

[If you know, don’t get hurt this time. Heh.]

Darby, snorting lightly, climbs on top of Lennok’s head and spins.

Lennok looked at him, smiled and raised his hand.

Chow!!

The magician who stretched out between his fingers grabbed the mirror pieces in an instant, put them in a trash can, and stopped the bleeding.

Since being able to manipulate the magician’s physical power more delicately, Lennok has been working hard to apply his magic to a wider variety of places.

If you can’t strike a balance between physical health and the study of magic, you won’t be able to obtain anything.

If it wasn’t for Darby’s existence, I would have been thinking about it all day, immersed in these thoughts.

Although the existence of the cyber spirit was, in a sense, nothing short of accidental, it was clear that Lennok was being helped by her in many ways.

“It’s about time. I need to get ready quickly.”

After looking at the clock hanging on the wall, I hurried to get ready to go out.

Didn’t I force myself to sleep during the day for today’s sake and change my internal body clock once?

The clothes I brought with me were not the shadow coats I always carried with me as a class member, but a short coat that could block the wind.

Although he moves in the name of his class, he is in a position where he must not be exposed as a class member.

While checking the necessary equipment and checking the condition, the cell phone started ringing once again as if to annoy such Lennok.

[Have you finished preparing for class?]

Sebastian’s voice was clearly tense.

The broker’s breathless words, as if forcibly suppressing his voice, echoed quietly over the speakers.

[If it’s okay, I want you to come as soon as possible. We need time to let you in from this side as well. Do you know how much effort I put into changing the list of participants?]

“I know there are about two hours left until the appointment time.”

Lennok replied as he changed his clothes.

[I told you that it would be better if you come as soon as possible. So that you can see the atmosphere and intervene at any time... ... .]

“Don’t worry, it’s all over. but... ... .”

It is an operation that proceeds without revealing Ban’s identity.

It’s natural to change clothes and change faces, but if you’re looking for an effective method, there was another way not far away.

“... ... .”

An obsidian mask standing in one corner of the workbench.

It is an impressive object with a dark appearance that covers the entire face and a surface that emits a mysterious glow.

Lennok never forgot even for a moment about the item he had personally received from the King of Pandemonium.

As Myeong suggested implicitly as a way to hide his identity and contact Pandemonium, there must be nothing more certain than that to hide his identity.

But Lennok, who was worried, eventually stopped thinking and shook his head.

“... ... later.”

I’ve confirmed that the mask doesn’t have any tracking devices or harmful powers, but I haven’t been able to figure out the artifact’s abilities yet.

If there is an irreversible ability at the time you wear the mask, you should use that item when you decide to contact Pandemonium.

Quickly organizing his thoughts, Lennok grabbed Darby by the tail and left the mansion.

[Eh, it’s still time to take a nap... ... .]

Only the agony of the brain spirit resounded quietly through the quiet corridors.

* * *

Around midnight past evening.

The air nearing late at night is so chilly that you can smell your breath.

Through the cold night streets where even small sounds resonate loudly.

Boaaaaang!!

The deafening roar of engines resounded incessantly.

Leaving behind the violent noise that sounded like a pounding in the stomach, Lennok looked up at Sebastian, who was standing in front of him.

“Sebastian, I’m sorry, but your disguise is poor... ... . Not like a broker.”

“I couldn’t help it. It’s already been over ten years since I ran into the field like this.”

Sebastian, wearing a thick scarf and sunglasses, answered as if making excuses.

A wide roadside located at the bottom of the stairs in an alleyway where two people are standing.

Dozens of people gathered under it stand as if waiting for something, each making a completely different noise.

Koo Goo Goo!!

Engine sounds coming from all kinds of vehicles overlapped to emit an intense vibrating sound.

Lennok didn’t answer the man, but he didn’t listen to what he said.

The Grimoire Gang is one of the gangs that maintain their organization with a fairly stable profit among the gangs located in the outskirts of the Balkans.

Apart from hearing a rough explanation from Sebastian, Lennok also collected information about them separately through Jenny.

‘The gang that the cigar bang gang used as a role model was called a grimoire. It’s understandable that they have strong roots, if it’s clear that they are really lining up for Madrid.’

And if this kind of race was held consistently, even irregularly, it wouldn’t be strange if those who gathered after hearing the rumors continued to take on the challenge.

Of course, Lennok, who is participating in this race for the first time, is relatively behind in competitiveness.

While Lennok was immersed in such thoughts, people began to mumble at the far end of the road.

hey hey... ... !!

The night fog that had flowed bleakly through the roads began to gather at some point, and soon began to take on a human form.

At that unusual appearance, Lennok also began to pay attention to the nearby magical flow.

“It’s about time. The signal will drop in a moment.”

The fog, which had changed into the form of a dwarf old man, began to speak slowly.

The old man looked around at the participants filling the road and turned his gaze toward the outskirts.

“You must have secured the required number of caches, right?”

As soon as he appeared, Cathy, a woman who had been politely bowing her head, answered right away.

“of course. Counting up to the last participant to appear, 112 people. The standard was definitely passed.”

“good. It is important to secure the head count at the moment the race starts. Looks like you got the job done.”

The old man turned his head and grinned as he looked down at the participants.

“As we all know, this race is one of the annual events organized directly by the gang. It is a journey that starts from the outlying district, goes all the way around the outskirts of the city, and ends in the undeveloped downtown area.”

“... ... .”

There was no answer. The old man continued, as if he hadn’t expected a great reaction.

“We have about four hours left before dawn. As long as you reach the destination within it, the gang’s supplies will be distributed to all participants in a lump sum. but!”

The old man cut off his words in a strong tone and looked around.

“Participants who drop out or drop out in the middle are handled directly by the gang. Also, keep in mind that you must take a stopover notified in advance and cross the finish line.”

Still no answer. But there was no one who refuted that statement.

“In order to keep these two prerequisites, participants participating in the race are thoroughly screened. I make sure in the name of the gang that we will find out the backs of the contestants and put them at a disadvantage if they voluntarily give up the race.”

“What about the privileges given to the participants who placed in the rankings?”

The bronze-skinned young man who had been petting the leopard’s head in the lead asked.

Impressive with a somewhat easy-going tone, it seemed that this was not the first time he had participated in the race.

“I was a bit perplexed because the product was different from what I announced last time.”

“... ... This race will run normally. Participants in the top 3 will face the boss face-to-face and receive the items they want one by one.”

The old man paused for a moment before answering.

“Recently, quality artifacts and elixirs have arrived, so if you do your best, there might be good results—”

Piing!!

Before he could finish his words, a small spark erupted from the other side of the road.

The atmosphere around her who saw it begins to tighten in an instant.

Woooooooooo!!

The resonant sound of engines and horsepower roared around Lennok.

Naturally, Lennox also put his hand on the throttle and waited for the signal.

The old man also glanced back and slowly retreated out of the road.

“It might happen. Then, I hope that everyone will abide by the information I announced earlier, and I wish you luck.”

Beep!!

Unknown firecrackers exploding through the night sky begin to draw vivid numbers at some point.

3 2 1.

A trail of sparks disappearing through the dark sky.

At the same time as the last number of 1 disappeared into the air, everything with feet on the road tilted its center of gravity forward.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!

With the deafening roar of the engine, we started to run across the asphalt.

The moment when Lennok, too, tried to pick up the throttle and speed up among the vehicles and beasts that were passing everywhere in an instant.

The heavy tank that was running right in front of me slowed down and began to run in reverse.

Woo support!!

The body of a tank that relentlessly moves backward while crushing the asphalt with its heavy track.

“Ahahahaha!!”

Even the low-spirited, middle-aged man’s laughter echoed from within.

“If you stupidly stood behind me, you’ll have to pay the price!!”

The fact that he pulled such a tank to the race itself is tantamount to saying that he has no intention of competing with speed.

A blatant intention to trample on other competitors from the start and settle in the rankings.

Others noticed it early and kept their distance from the tank, but Lennok was the only one who did not move from the back seat of the first tank that landed.

No matter how much a monster bike boasts a considerable body, it is nothing compared to a tank used in war.

If the two bodies collided like this, only Lennok’s bike would be crushed flat like a plastic can.

But Lennok clearly guessed that and smiled.

[I know.]

[Triple deployment of alloy armor on the front. Activating the jet propulsion. Opening the force field glider.]

Weiying!!

At that moment, the alloy parts that were disassembled and gathered at the front of the bike turned into a giant fox-headed shield.

Supports protruding from various parts of the body stirred in the air and forcibly lowered the weight of the body.

Kwaaaa!!

A pipe protrudes from the back of the wheel of the bike and explodes with bluish sparks.

The sound of the engines making the ground hot and vibrating.

Right before the bike collided with the back of the tank, Lennok’s bike disappeared on the spot for a moment.

[Pasha!!]

Wow!!

With Darby’s spirit, the parts of the tank completely smashed in the middle of the road exploded and scattered in all directions in the night sky.

A new type of bike that disassembles a tank weighing dozens of tons and runs forward on the spot.

While the other competitors opened their mouths wide in amazement at that ridiculous physical force.

Lennok, who had passed between them in an instant, looked back and smiled.

[What we need right now is not strength, but speed.]
