Chapter 501

Interim settlement (2)

After that, Lennok rested for about a day and finished preparing to leave immediately.

After exchanging conversations with watchers who wish to remain on the island, they board a boat heading out of the island.

Grisha laughed at the sight of Lennok holding in both hands the talisman Lappard’s cross that Gap-seon had handed him over.

“You’re too lazy. You haven’t been able to properly share the lesson about this operation yet, so you don’t have any big regrets there?”

Grisha took something out of his arms and tossed it at Lennok.

Took!!

Lennok, who missed it as if for granted, sighed and picked it up.

“Where does it add up if I hand it over?”

“what? I think this has happened before.”

Grisha tilted her head, then smiled and pointed to the object in Lennok’s hand.

“Well, it doesn’t matter anyway. After all, there are no observers who are more active than you here.”

“... ... So what about this?”

“It is a key that allows free access to all facilities on the island.”

said Grisha.

“Not only the third lighthouse that will be newly built, but also the safes where artifacts and elixirs are kept and the hangars where the material storage facilities are all open.”

She grinned and stared at the key in Lennok’s hand, which glowed with a faint blue light.

“You can freely take and use all the items that can be opened with that key.”

“... ... .”

Are you saying that all the assets accumulated in the name of the Far East branch of the Church are actually handed over to Lennok?

For now, the blue eye will manage and use it jointly, but taking out and using the material itself means that it will always be abandoned.

A declaration that the assets that actually exist on this island will be returned to Lennok’s name.

Lennok smiled when he finally understood what Grisha meant by handing him the key.

“I can’t share the achievement right now, so I’ll give it to you in its entirety, right?”

Even if no one else knows, Grisha, who has worked with Lennok since the beginning of Blue Eyes, knows what a wizard named Evan is like.

If it’s something you need, you can take it without hesitation, but you’re not a greedy person, so you can hand over a key like this.

The fact that Lenok is allowed to own the assets of the entire Far East branch is no different from trusting him.

“If you inject magic into the key, the location of the island will come to mind in real time. If you need anything, take it yourself.”

“Reminds me of the location of the island in real time? Was there an artifact like this in the vault?”

“I made it yesterday.”

“... ... .”

It’s a surprisingly sophisticated artifact for a yawning reply.

Being able to observe and quantify the position of an island floating in the sea in absolute coordinates is impossible without the master’s own excellent intuition and skill.

How amazing it was to create such an artifact overnight and give it to Lennok.

Although it was not surprising that Grisha herself had a lot of experience in making pitchers and was very talented as she had lived for a long time.

It was a little surprising to Lennok that such a skill was displayed in this way.

“what... ... . good night. There were quite a few useful equipment among the weapons of the church. Make sure to come by often when needed.”

As the Far East Branch is one of the places in charge of supplying the church’s rear, the amount of supplies and weapons it has stored is considerable.

Among them, there are taboo weapons that cannot be used without obtaining permission as a member of the church.

Wasn’t the bloody greatsword used by Irina Fesfield of the Arashak Exploration Corps also one of those types of weapons?

Lennok himself was not the type to use blades or long weapons, but among the mercenaries he knew, there were talents who could use such weapons.

“Let’s go soon.”

“okay. There were a lot of misfortunes this time in many ways, but next time let’s do something better.”

“That sounds kind of funny.”

Lennok laughed.

“When was the last time we got together for something fun and happy?”

Grisha laughed bitterly without answering.

Leaving behind the shaman who sighed in long seconds, Lennok immediately boarded the small boat.

Pio, who was waiting on the boat, skillfully pulled the motor, and Lennok’s body jerked backwards.

thud!!

Lennok murmured annoyedly as the boat swam swiftly away from the island.

“... ... Go slow.”

“Khehehe I’ll take you there at full speed!!”

Pio and Gio giggle with mischievous faces.

In the aftermath of the fierce battle, the tension is strangely high even though Ching-ching bandages are wrapped all over the body.

Lennok asked as he watched the twins arguing that he was driving the boat.

“Are you feeling okay?”

Other observers also suffered quite a bit, but these twins were second only to Lennok in this battle.

Didn’t he not only deal with several bishops who had lifted the restraining spell, but also wage a group war against hundreds of priests on behalf of Lennok?

Even if he had reached level 8 by merging his body and mind, the battle he endured in the depths of the temple would not have been a typical fierce battle of attrition.

Pio and Gio looked back at Lennok with slightly surprised expressions.

“I didn’t know you were the kind of person who could worry about me like that. Impressive.”

“That’s right. When you first told me, you were a killing machine without blood or tears... ... .”

“You crazy bastard, be quiet!”

The appearance of P.O, who is frightened and covers G.O’s mouth.

Instead of responding to the nonsense he had been hearing, Lennok asked something else.

“Injury is also an injury, but we are talking about what happens after fusion is over.”

“fusion?”

“There is no price to pay for achieving unity in both mind and body. There must be considerable aftereffects.”

“... ... .”

Lennok can also guess as he has roughly learned the principles of the fusion ceremony from them.

Twins born at the same time on the same day.

The perfect condition that each of them can complement each other’s sense of difference by learning the techniques of mutation and synchronization.

However, even so, it cannot be an easy task for two people born with different lives to fuse into one being.

It is also clear that if two people can temporarily reconcile as beings of a higher hierarchy than they originally possessed through union, they will have to pay the price.

Only then did the twins understand what Lennok was talking about and looked away embarrassedly.

“what... ... It’s not like there aren’t any problems at all.”

“Sometimes, when memories of each other are mixed or when the fusion ends, the level temporarily falls.”

“That’s right, so once in a while this bastard and his girlfriend... ... .”

“You bastard, don’t brag about things like that!!”

As if it was serious again, the twins started punching each other this time.

Only the complexion of Lennok, who was groaning in the roaring boat, was dyed purple.

[ha... ... . What a pitiful organism.]

Dabi sighed while watching in her arms and hacked the motor. The boat regained its balance and began to navigate through the current.

By the time they reached the shore, the twins had stopped punching each other and got off the boat and gathered their belongings.

At the same time as the sound of the bike starting was heard and the shadow stood up loudly.

Lennok’s figure had disappeared from the shore.

* * *

Balkan satellite city Bayruts.

It is the product of an urban expansion and development plan designed to handle the explosively growing population, asset size, and supplies in a megalopolis.

At that time, the city government tried to create a huge city union by forming several satellite cities around the Balkan area, but it turned into nothing with the failure of the black consumer project.

Satellite cities with no investment received no attention and were abandoned, and now they have become ghost towns that no one visits.

Only gang scavenger robbers and terrorists wandering outside the city live in the satellite city as a hideout from time to time.

Even they don’t stay long in an abandoned city like Bayrutz.

Fair to everyone An abandoned city means a place that is open to everyone equally.

Even the outlaws who trample on citizens can become mere prey in this lawless zone.

“Turn it off... ... !!”

dark night sky. A ghost town where the cold wind blows.

The groaning sound intermittently heard between the railroad tracks of the rusty floating train that was supposed to run throughout the city.

The image of a dying man with his clothes inscribed with gang patterns stained with blood. The lower part of the body is completely gone, and blood is pouring out from the cross section of the waist.

The gang member’s lips pursed as he watched Lennok glance back.

Despair appeared in the man’s eyes at the sight of Lennok passing by without hesitation, and soon he lost his focus.

“You made a wise choice, friend.”

A skinny man who appeared next to Lennok and giggled.

“I’m worried because there aren’t many idiots out there without fear these days. Do you know how sweet it is to cut them in half and eat the marrow from the other side?”

The man smirked and walked up beside Lennok without hesitation and started walking together.

“Those who have lived their whole life believing that they are superior are especially delicious. I’ve never bent my back before, so my cartilage is very fresh... ... .”

“... ... .”

“Being good at pretending not to know means knowing your subject well. That’s a great virtue. I will try to keep it well and live well in the future.”

At the same time as the words, people appeared from all over the empty streets.

The man smiled and said.

“If only I could survive being cut off from the waist down.”

Not only are all of them magic users, but the bleak and empty atmosphere is impressive.

Lennok nodded his head, realizing that the eyes looking this way were closer to starvation than mere murder or anger.

“Is it a ghoul?”

I’ve heard the story from Jenny through rumors.

When a superhuman who has learned or mastered a commandment in the Commander and Commander’s command system fell into a state of suspended animation and was unable to wake up as usual.

Did they say that they become monsters that can neither die nor live, constantly coveting the souls and bodies of the living?

I remember it as a story about a monster that was quite impressive, but it was the first time I actually saw it.

Lennok, who had turned cold beyond the mask, scanned the surroundings in silence.

“Seeing that he talks a lot unnecessarily, he must have been a decent superman in his lifetime.”

“Keuhehe, my young friend has to speak so harshly to use it.”

At the same time as the whitish spiritual body stands up from behind the man’s back, it begins to take on the shape of a skeleton knight.

The others surrounding Lennok also pulled out different spiritual bodies and entered the empty area.

“We are not sick either. I know you are quite a drunkard.”

The man’s jaw dropped open as if it had been pulled out, and a long, non-human tongue protruded from within.

“By the way, the prey that was caught through such hardship is a more special delicacy. Do you know why?”

It was a grotesque look as if he was licking his lips after seeing Lennok.

But Lennok rather laughed at the man.

“It looks like you haven’t forgotten the meaning of hard work in terms of monsters worse than corpses. With a little more effort, you can imitate a human.”

After saying that, Lennok grabbed the archangel’s pity from the inside of his robe.

“Just die.”

The space transfer technique built into the Archangel’s Compassion, one of the best artifacts and relics of the old world, is activated.

At the same time, shards of broken glass that had fallen at Lennok’s feet were neatly thrust into the man’s elongated tongue.

PABABABABAK!!

It is hard to believe that it borrowed the power of an artifact, but it is a sophisticated yet completed space transition.

Lennok’s senses, which greatly improved his understanding of spatial manipulation through the battle with Amrita, reached the point where he could freely manipulate even the ability of artifacts as if they were his own.

“Kihehehehehe!!”

Rotten blood ran down his face, and the man laughed madly.

“It’s just useless. No way!! Why don’t you try hard once... ... !!”

“Activate the self-augmentation method.”

keying... ... !!

At that moment, a dazzling radiance erupted from the compassion of the archangel clutched between the robes.

Trapped in the shadowy robes, most of them couldn’t leak out, but some of them came out precisely through the sleeves and covered the man’s face.

“Casting a unique ability. Code Elise.”

Chii profit!!!

“Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!”

When the man was given an inherent ability activated by the archangel’s tears, the ghoul’s head completely melted on the spot.

“What the fuck is this!!”

“What have you done!!”

The other ghouls backed away in fright at the completely unexpected disappearance.

The moment Lennok ignored them and tried to raise the archangel’s compassion once more.

A high-pitched voice rang out from above.

“Is that an old world relic you brought back?”

A middle-aged man hiccups with a bottle of alcohol while sitting on the roof of a nearby shopping mall.

He looked down at me with a smirk on his reddened face.

“Self-augmentation of the Holy Spirit system. Among the relics, it is also well known for its extremely rare and unique lineage.”

The stance of a room with a bulging stomach is infinitely defenseless, but Lennok couldn’t find the slightest gap in that figure.

A strong level of physical ability. It must be that of a veteran who has survived countless battles.

The drunkard’s eyes, looking down at Lennok, glittered with a strange glow.

“I’m sure it’s a valuable item, but the usage is wrong. You weren’t even interested in that lineage in the first place, were you?”

“... ... .”

“It’s only being used to kill ghouls, so it must have been acquired recently.”

A man who makes a noise regardless of the ghouls who hesitate and notice from all sides.

Lennok asked, silently letting go of the archangel’s pity in his arms.

“What do you want to say?”

“I mean, I can teach you specifically how to use such artifacts.”

widely!!

The man who lightly jumped from a height of ten meters looked at Lennok and smiled.

“Instead, if there are more good items, let’s exchange them before the settlement. How about it?”
