Archangel’s Tears (2)
Rick’s mouth twisted at Lennok’s plaintive declaration.
“... ... He’s a sorcerer with special qualities, so his nose pierces the sky. Let’s see how long we can go on like that!!”
Without waiting for an answer, Rick took out a dagger the size of a forearm from his waistband and quickly charged at Lennok.
It sprints at a high speed and staggers as if it is about to fall and disappears before our eyes.
quick!!
Despite Rick’s disappearance from sight in an instant, Lennok did not panic and raised his finger.
The magician who stretched out between them was entangled in a dagger digging into his temple and stopped exquisitely.
Kiririk!!
“It’s not over yet!!”
It is a miracle that a 6th-level ward with a few strands of magicians can hold back the attack with all their might.
Beyond the level of manipulating thin threads, it is impossible to play with physical force by exquisitely distributing the tension of the threads.
But instead of being frightened by the fact, Rick didn’t hesitate, let go of the dagger in his hand and dug into Lennok’s arms.
Kagagak!!
It moves irregularly as if bouncing back and forth, and rushes forward without giving Lennok time to respond.
Its movements are so flexible and nimble that it doesn’t even feel like your feet are on the ground.
Lennok, too, swung the magic wand that had been released below his feet to restrain Rick’s movements and was lost in thought.
‘I’ll have to be careful.’
Rick, whom I am dealing with right now, is not a big problem.
What Lennok really had to worry about was the fourth identity, Victor, which he was now using.
‘Victor is different from Evan. The time zone and alibi are half open to suspicion.’
Unlike Evan, who was active in the Northern Continent and the Dominion far away from the megalopolis, Victor was created by revealing himself to Highrea, who was stationed in a cathedral inside Balkan.
Even the face hasn’t changed at all, and it’s easy to be suspicious of identity at the point of wearing a mask.
When moving as Evan, he used a mix of the magic he used as a class, but Victor had to make a clear distinction.
It was necessary to set some differentiation from the existing ones, including the ability to use, the system, the identity, and the personality.
A special magician with a mad personality to the point of being arrogant.
And to be seen as possessing such excellent and rare abilities that their arrogance is taken for granted.
The system dealt with is magician manipulation. And until now, even Lennok had never seen it before –
‘to the spatial system.’
[Blinking]
There wasn’t even a flash.
Ignoring Rick’s frantic attack in front of me, I openly use Blink to move forward a few meters.
The moment I raised my foot against the invisible void.
“Kahah!!”
A scream of pain echoed from Lennok’s feet as the entire landscape melted.
The appearance of Rick, who had been brandishing all sorts of weapons at Lennok until just before, was the appearance of Rick crawling on the ground with his neck accurately stepped on.
The whole body was tied with magicians, and only the neck was tilted, and the face looked closer to fright than pain.
“Uh how... ... ?”
“I thought you might have some unusual tricks.”
Immediately after the grouping, Peeler raised an objection to Olga, but said nothing to Rick or Tucker, who were in the same break-in group.
Even if the existence of the leader, Tucker, does not covet Rick’s position, it must mean that Rick’s ability is playing an important role in stealing the safe this time.
Lennox smiled and put his foot on Rick’s neck.
“He was a high-ranking illusionist. You, too, talk about your nose while being a special magician... ... .”
“Kek kek!!”
Like the manipulation system or the spatial system, the illusion system is classified as a special system due to the rarity and difficulty of the magic itself.
It is said that it is possible to go beyond simply deceiving human senses and to the level of deceiving local physical laws or phenomena once you reach a high level.
Not only does it mask aptitude and talent, but it is also famous for inducing mental madness the deeper you dig, so Lennok had never seen an illusionist who had learned so deeply.
Kirik... ... !!
The sorcerer wrapped around Rick’s body climbed up like a snake and slowly began to tighten his neck.
“I think it would be okay to tie your limbs and drag them to Kaiushu.”
“I was wrong.”
Rick’s face went pale, and his face moved wildly and he hurriedly opened his mouth.
“I just provoked it on purpose because I wanted to check the skills of my teammates. As you know, the difference in strength isn’t too great... ... !!”
Boom!!
Lennok, who didn’t listen to Rick and put his head on the ground, responded coldly.
“It’s a long story.”
bang!!
“I hate noise.”
“Don’t go there.”
Olga, who was watching the fight between the two with her arms crossed, said while chewing gum.
“He’s a bad guy, but he’s a must-have if you want to easily break through the vault security in this operation.”
“... ... .”
“Or are you going to cheat the image scanning device and biometric security and open the vault bulkhead instead?”
“no.”
Lennok replied.
“I don’t do dirty things like that.”
Silence hung all around.
While Lennok was a little worried about the concept being too much, Tucker patted Olga on the shoulder, who was frowning.
“Stop bothering each other and move slowly. Do you all get a rough idea of why I can’t comment on the top line?”
“... ... .”
Not everyone seemed to agree that much, but no one refuted it.
Not only is there really not much time left until the time of execution, but it is also proven that Lennok’s power is considerable at the point of Rick’s complete defeat.
Needless to say, Tucker took advantage of Lennok’s crushing on Rick to subtly secure his cause.
Tucker looked around and threw in a few formal remarks to set things right.
“I will explain all the details after the work is over. Until then, everyone can faithfully follow my instructions.”
“that... ... .”
“Let’s start.”
Tucker replied in a heavy voice, then, without speaking, he ducked and began to pack up his gear.
An attitude that makes it seem like there is something complicated behind the scenes that anyone can see.
To Lennok, acting like a sergeant in his later years was such a perfect performance that it seemed like a lie.
Tucker, who stopped talking, started to move in the lead, and the others started to walk after him.
In an instant, the group stood on top of a hill overlooking the city.
Kaishuu, a mid-sized city located in the western continent.
Even considering the width of its 4 million inhabitants, it is more than enough to cover several districts of a vast metropolis.
The time from late afternoon to evening.
Street lamps located throughout the city began to shine one by one, and the lights began to light up little by little between the windows of the building.
“An old lady who doesn’t even know she has treasure in her hands doesn’t deserve it.”
Tucker murmured from the top of a hill overlooking the city slowly regaining light against the darkening night sky.
“Let’s all become thieves together for today.”
* * *
Finding the location of the penthouse was not difficult.
Tucker and Rick Olga quickly move into a nearby street while Lennok and the other three wait on the scene. When the signal sounds, you can spread out in all directions and observe the trend.
A flirting man and woman and a filler standing with an annoyed expression.
Without hesitation, he picked a room and entered it, and the filler swiped down the picture frame hanging on the wall.
The shape of the mysterious instrument panel that reveals itself in it.
Peeler did not look at the instrument panel properly and constantly looked around and entered the password.
Beep beep!!
At that moment, the light hanging in the middle of the room split left and right, and the stairs came down from within.
Lennok stared at him with an absurd expression and asked.
“What is this?”
“It is a secret passage to the top floor of the penthouse. I thought you were still alive.”
Peeler, who climbed the stairs without hesitation, gestured to Lennok.
“Make sure there are no guys following you, then come up.”
“Um... ... .”
To be honest, Lennok has bad memories of stairs.
It is a memory that is hard to forget even if you try to forget the indecent act with Ermong in the Hyangsahamigung.
Fortunately, the length of the stairs was not too long, perhaps because it was a passage just below the top floor.
When I went up to the warm corner of the warehouse, my senses opened up and I could feel all signs heading inside the top floor at once.
Housekeepers and janitors who manage the interior of the house. And even the appearance of the rush team who have not been able to enter the house yet and are concentrating on breaking through the security.
Peeler smiled contentedly when Lennok informed him of this.
“I knew it would. Foolish bastards dare... ... . If you had taken me, things would have been much easier.”
“... ... ”
When Tucker didn’t include him in the starting group, did he bother to tell him what he knew?
Haha, no one would have thought that Filler would be able to grasp the internal structure of the penthouse this well.
“The safe where the elixirs are stored is over there. Follow me.”
I crossed the spacious lobby of the house without hesitation and headed to the place where the rooms were tightly packed on the other side.
When I hit the light switch on the wall three times and turned on the emergency light, a small crack appeared in the hallway wall, revealing a hidden door.
Before opening the door, Peeler glanced back at Lennox and said.
“From the moment you open the safe, a log remains. From the time the door is opened for more than 5 minutes, I report to the old lady at regular intervals.”
“You mean you have to get things done in five minutes and pop out.”
“No, I’ll make it as close to the time as possible.”
The corners of Filler’s mouth were torn into elongated pieces.
“Because when the old lady finds out that the safe has been opened, those guys will stay and become the culprits instead.”
“... ... .”
After all, I was wondering why they were moving as a team when they knew the internal structure of the penthouse so well, but they needed someone to be the culprit instead.
It must mean that even this young man who looks down on everyone around him is afraid of the 8th level monster called the wall.
However, instead of refuting that comment, Lennok nodded calmly.
“Not bad.”
“good. Then let’s begin.”
jump!
As soon as you open the door, you can see countless cases piled up in a small dark alcove.
Lennok and Peel, who had been scattered on both sides, simultaneously opened different cases, revealing all sorts of elixirs carefully wrapped in thin paper.
As the recipes and origins of elixirs vary, so do their appearances.
Some elixirs are simply in the form of illusions, but others are hard and softly shining like jewels, and some elixirs look like whole plant roots.
Lennok nodded, using his magical power detection to grasp the energy of the surrounding elixirs at once.
After starting the distribution business in earnest with Jenny and not running out of money, he never spared investment to maintain a balance between combat and daily life.
As Lennok had been taking elixirs and testing various products on his body, his knowledge in this field was never shallow.
‘On average, upper-middle class. All of them are worth hundreds of millions of won.’
Perhaps because it is the elixir hidden in the vault of a superhuman who controls a city, all of them are of considerable quality.
Even from Lennok’s point of view, who has taken all sorts of elixirs and experienced their efficacy, the coveted ghost is barely visible.
There were quite a few things that would help increase the maximum horsepower and energy, no matter how many there were, if consumed properly.
While carefully selecting and storing only items that were reasonably large enough to be carried, Peeler gestured to Lennok.
“I think I found it. Come this way.”
A case so old that its shape cannot be recognized.
The remnants of the elixir clinging terribly to the inside of the wooden box wrapped in bandages.
“It is most similar to the description of appearance I heard from Mr. Tucker. Maybe this must be it.”
“... ... Right.”
It seemed that he could not feel the filler even when he saw it with his own two eyes, but Lennok, who rotated his demonic eyes through the mask, was able to recognize the specialness of the wooden box.
Even inside this vault, the energy of countless elixirs that run amok do not reach anywhere around this wooden box.
Rather than the specialness of the wooden box itself, is it something that emits a rather heterogeneous force when it is with other elixirs?
That’s probably why Jebyeok didn’t recognize the specialness of this item and put it in the safe.
Archangel’s Tears. The target was easily obtained to the extent that the strategy he had set up so far seemed futile.
Filler asked in a tense atmosphere.
“Do you want me to keep it or do you want to keep it?”
“What are you asking about?”
It was obvious what the narrow-eyed Peeler thought of Lennok.
Lennok chuckled and shoved the wooden crate he was holding into Peeler’s bosom.
“Since you opened the door and found it first, it’s your lesson.”
“... ... yes.”
“There are still three minutes left. In the meantime, let’s get together useful things.”
“good.”
At the same time as Lennok turned around without hesitation, Peeler, who had been looking down at the wooden box in his arms with a strange expression, raised his head.
A faint murderous feeling passed through the eyes of the filler as he looked at the back of Lennok, who was bending down defenselessly without a magician.
The peeler rushed in like a flash war and hit Lennok’s back deeply.
Fire!!
A surprise attack by a level 6 military rank physical ability. The speed at which the forearm rotates is close to subsonic.
The blade, hidden between the wrists of the filler that had stabbed Lennok’s back precisely, pierced his lungs and pierced his heart.
Lennok, unable to even scream, trembled and slowly sagged.
soo soo soo!!
Without leaving even a hint of leeway, he stabbed Lennok’s body one after another and stood up.
“Thank you, stupid bastard.”
Peeler’s eyes were cold and hard as he looked at the fallen Lennok.
“Anyway, Tucker is not an idiot. If there are no obstacles, you will get out of Kaiushu in no time.”
“... ... .”
“It’d be nice if your corpse could hold Tucker’s ankle and pull the time back, wouldn’t it?”
“... ... .”
“Whoa, I was nervous because they called me a special magician... ... . After all, he wasn’t much to see up close.”
The moment Peeler, who swept his hair, exhaled and immediately turned his back.
The answer came from Lennok’s mouth as he collapsed.
“I should rather thank you.”
“... ... !!!”
A cold mockery resounded in the ears of the filler with both eyes wide open.
“To be honest... ... If it hadn’t been for this ending, I would have been rather disappointed.”
As if he were a puppet controlled by a puppet.
Lennok’s limp body slowly began to rise.
