Chapter 95
At the end of the collapsed ruins (3)
“It’s done.”
“This…!!”
Hina, who usually didn’t change her expression much, widened her eyes and groped her limbs.
I can feel that the movement of the body has become more than half as fast, and the body’s response has also jumped up rapidly.
Lennok pushed her on the shoulder while Heeney hesitated at the sudden increase in physical ability that even he could not understand.
“Go ahead and stop that bastard. I have work to do.”
“I see!!”
I’d never thought of a wizard who could give me a buff like this, but the momentum of the power flowing through my body doesn’t lie.
And Hina Oneil had the ability to use this speed better than anyone else.
I bent my back and put my hand on the handle of the sword.
Bloody fountains gushed from Zaun’s side as the blue energy of lightning leaped from her eyes.
Pakaac!!
“…What kind of bullshit did you do again!!!”
Ignoring Zaun’s annoyed roar, Hina opened her sword again.
A soft flash of light.
This time, Zaun could not ignore it and bounced the jewel.
Lennok, who had been watching his comrades who were holding Zaun’s feet in a fierce fight, pulled out a cigarette and turned his back.
“Whoa…”
Cray couldn’t move and Zaun was stranded.
Now that all the hindrances are gone, the only thing left is to uproot that seedling that grows without knowing the end.
A huge magic circle engraved on the floor of the cavity.
Lennok walked to the end of it, put his hand on it, closed his eyes, and slowly raised his mana.
The magical power engraved in the magic circle resisted the invasion of an unfamiliar power source, but Lennok’s magical power lightly shook off the resistance and dug into the ground in an instant.
magnetic area.
Bondi level 6 or higher. Among them, did you say that it was a spell that only a very small percentage of gifted magicians could use?
It’s the first time I’ve encountered it in person, but I can guess the structure itself to some extent watching it.
An environment construction team that manifests the field most suitable for implementing high-skill formulas.
All the spells that are manifested in the realm increase in a sharp upward direction, and the level is one level higher.
Craig must have been able to summon the fragments of a ridiculous monster like ‘Extinction’ because he used necromancy in this field.
Then Lennok had no choice but to respond in the same way.
Dig-!!
Read the structure of the magic circle created to artificially build a realm backwards and dig into the principle from the basis.
Understand what was lacking, not what was added.
Something that didn’t exist for Craig.
However, using his powerful inspiration and intuition, Lenok breaks through ignorance and digs out the root.
Woo woo woo woo!!!
Just by seeing and understanding the higher-level magic manipulation method, a strange gong sound resounded and shook off the branches approaching from all directions.
The force field spread around Lennok rotates in a strange direction, distorting space and blocking all obstacles.
In an almost trance-like immersion, I read the direction of the will engraved on the magic circle.
The important thing is the ability to embody one’s will into reality.
And it is the power that continuously holds the will embodied in that way within the space.
A pillar that supports the heart. Building fortresses in all directions at once based on the skeleton that builds the caster’s fundamental image.
That was the principle behind the mage’s establishment of territory.
‘It’s difficult…’
The moment I understood the meaning of domain development, that was the only thing I thought for the first time.
If you really insist, this is like building a grandiose building by relying on a blueprint in your head.
If the blueprint that exists inside is not perfect and if the blueprint is not clearly embedded in your head, it is useless.
Among the high-ranking mages, I think I know why it’s a spell that hides talent.
It’s not just magical talent.
It was a technique that could not even be attempted from the beginning if the inner image was not completed.
‘But it’s not impossible.’
I think I know why Craig couldn’t handle the realm.
The surrounding environment shakes aimlessly. It must be because he did not even have time to fully organize his own state due to anxiety that he was not sure of the path he had chosen.
But Lennok is different.
The factory’s alcove where I spent the night with my eyes open.
The resolution I made that first day, when I felt like I was going to die right away, has never wavered.
The moment he realized it, it was already in Lennok’s hands.
Woooooooooooo!!!
At that moment, the force field that surrounded and shook disappeared as if it were melting.
The branches that were still hovering around rushed towards Lennok like crazy, clamoring to suck out his mana, but
hey!
An intangible wave bursting out from Lennok’s center pressed down on all sides and burst the branches at once.
Once spread, the wave does not disappear and continues to revolve around Lennok.
get up slowly I walked towards Craig.
Every time I took a step, the waves rotated, widening the range and adding to the trembling.
Each time it moves past blue, red, green, and yellow, it changes to a different color every moment, expanding its territory like ripples spreading across a lake.
Everyone’s attention was focused on the incomprehensible phenomenon, but only one understood what Lennok was doing.
The complexion of Zaun, who had been wandering around freelancers in a trance, changed in an instant.
“No wait. What are you bastards doing right now…!!!!”
“Stop!!”
Chen and Hina stopped Zaun from throwing the bloodied Freelancer’s collar and rushing towards Lennok.
Kwagwawang!!
Cheisha fired random rockets at the common ceiling, randomly dropping obstacles between the two.
“die!!”
Although we do not know how the situation is going, everyone is clearly aware that this situation is a turning point in the operation.
“Get out of the way, you bastards!!”
Faaaaaaa!!
The dazzling brilliance of the jewel exploded and illuminated the collapsing cavity, but Hina, whose eyes were shining bright blue, shot off dozens of flashes.
The thinly sliced blade flashes blue.
The slash that flew through the cognitive gap slashed Zaun’s thigh in an instant.
moment. But enough injuries to lose mobility.
Zaun, realizing that he was late, distorted his face hideously.
“Fuck!! How did that crazy bastard get the ‘territory’…!!”
“………”
I do not attach a name.
What Lennok implemented was nothing more than a fake imitating the artificial realm.
But that’s enough.
If only he could use the same level of magic as Craig, even for just a moment.
At the same time as Lennok closed his eyes and concentrated his mind.
The seedling, which did not respond and only spread its branches in all directions, responded for the first time.
[………!!!]
It’s as if he realized only belatedly that the obstacle he hadn’t noticed until now was actually a dagger stabbing him in the back.
[Kiaaaaaaaaaaa!!!]
Moving the creaking metal body, he reaches out for Lennok.
Thick reddish-brown twigs pour out like a waterfall and run toward the direction the finger points.
At the same time Lennok looked at it, he stopped and threw it away as if he had promised.
At the same time, the shape of the tree filling the cavity began to slowly collapse.
“……..”
Lennok murmured, looking up at Craig’s fading wishes.
“The analysis of the necromancy ceremony is complete.”
After finding out what Craig was after through questioning with Raoul, Lennok continued his research on necromancy.
If Craig really succeeds in using the artificial intelligence algorithm to defeat the monsters he removed through the necromancy ceremony, that method of destruction will be needed.
Even the introductory books on necromancy that he had obtained at the temporary base were not enough, so he entered the central library of Rabatenon University and finished his research.
Thanks to that, didn’t Aris even hear meaningless nagging asking if she wanted to become a necromancer?
However, because of that, I was able to find out what the weakness of necromancy was in the end.
A fundamental problem that is different from the risk that magicians innately take.
It was to dig into the vulnerability of the very act of the program itself.
Necromancy using an unstable energy source called the soul. Aside from the convenience and simplicity of the technique itself, it is a structural limitation that is extremely sensitive to handling the soul.
If two spirits are summoned from the same time and space, the necromancy ceremony is canceled.
In other words, if two necromancers fight each other, it means that each other’s spells will be sealed.
Lennok focused on the weakness that existed in necromancy and prepared only one method of destruction during the remaining time.
It was Lennok himself who learned the necromancy formula to nullify the opponent’s necromancy, a bizarre solution that an ordinary wizard could never implement.
It is felt.
An attempt by another soul to come down to the realm where God was supposed to descend.
The enormous presence that had just filled the cavity disappeared like a lie, and the branches filling the surroundings began to wither rapidly.
He loses all the momentum that greedily sucked in the mana around him and fades away.
“Uh, how could this… such an absurd ending…”
Lennok turned his head at the familiar voice coming from the floor.
Craig’s body, now a broken piece of scrap metal, trembled thinly as he collapsed.
“So vain…!!”
“Looks like he was still conscious.”
“How on earth can you do such a thing!!”
Craig cried out bitterly.
“This is ridiculous!! This wasn’t in my plans! A talent like this… How could a monster like you have to do it at this moment…!!”
Lennok looked down silently at Craig, who was unable to speak properly due to resentment.
The moment he realizes that the plan he risked everything for has failed, his firm expression, which seemed to never collapse, also collapses.
“We succeeded in controlling the fragments of the end to bring down the Balkans, but how did this happen…”
If it had gone as planned, Craig would have started to invade the Balkans with the fragments of extinction at the forefront.
It is a monster that occupies space and sucks up mana.
Even if Vulcan doesn’t collapse, there’s no doubt that it will receive a significant blow.
However, Lennok made that attempt null and void here.
you don’t want to understand
The unbelievable fact that such a well-thought-out plan collapsed with just one person’s talent.
“I bet everything..!! I gave everything and like this!!”
“Sometimes even if you give everything, it just isn’t enough.”
Lennok replied plaintively.
“Isn’t it because you know that too well that you killed and robbed them all and hung on?”
“no!!”
The decrepit warlock shouted at his throat.
As if I couldn’t bear to deny that.
“There are things more important than my life. A goal that should never be buried in this rotten city!! I’ve been living only for that!!”
Aaaaaaang!!
With those words, a black wave of magic that rose from Craig’s body rushed towards Lennok.
It was rough and savage, yet extremely concentrated force of magical power.
It becomes a vicious weapon that can tear the body of an ordinary person to shreds just by mixing willpower and extending it.
However, that is only the last desperate effort of those who have lost all hope.
It is the requiem of a wizard who is about to throw away his life like straw.
Lennok looked at the ripples of the waves and quietly bit the tobacco.
“okay.”
He nodded.
“Actually, I don’t think your method is wrong either.”
How beautiful is the way of life that throws everything for what you want.
But Lennok’s time was always something close to soggy, far from beauty or nobility.
There aren’t many things I really want now.
Just as I promised the moment I first opened my eyes, I will struggle to the end to survive.
That was all I could promise myself.
With determination, the area surrounding Lennok glassed the space more clearly.
Lennox himself raised his magic power with an unknown certainty.
Intuition.
In the realm, you can reach out to the realm of magic that you knew only with knowledge that you couldn’t reach normally.
Pajijijijik!!!
A black electric current seething between your fingers.
It gathers the violent flow and turns it into the rotation of a small star.
Lightning class unique magic.
