Drug-Eating Genius Mage
Chapter 244

The white lion (1)

Lennok, who finally realized his true purpose, looked up at him with a bewildered expression.

“I am not crazy. Are you planning on stealing the fire from the brazier?”

“No, I have prepared everything for this moment.”

Gionis said firmly.

“All facilities provided near the furnace are designed to control and manipulate the firepower of the furnace. In short, as long as you can carry one ember alive, that’s enough.”

assertion close to certainty. It is already impossible to bite that thought.

Sensing the ominousness in those words, Lennok slowly rose from his seat.

“… … There must have been another reason for entrusting Mouser with furnace maintenance. Did you intend to borrow a craftsman’s hand while pretending to be patronizing?”

A Mouser who cares deeply about the furnace enough to even get into the control room is very likely to be tampering with if something seems to be wrong with the furnace.

Deliberately leaving Mouser alone would have made sense if it was a paving stone for this moment.

“The function of the furnace itself has already been damaged to some extent, and the internal facilities have been cut off to the extent that it can be transported. As long as Mouser seals the broken part, you will be able to extract only the essence of the furnace perfectly and escape.”

“… … .”

Perhaps the furnace accident, which seemed to be Zionis’s trick, also occurred in the process of measuring Lenok’s skills and removing the fire from the furnace to the extent that it could be transported.

However, the specific inside story of the incident was not important now.

Gionis smiled faintly at Lennok’s silent expression.

“Can you guess why I’m telling you all these long and detailed stories?”

“… … You want my cooperation.”

“okay. I was watching your skills. Even in such an unfavorable environment, a skilled person using that level of freezing magic would be able to help transport the furnace.”

If the skill that Gionis admired was a skill he learned from watching [Freezing magic that even beginners can easily learn], what kind of expression would he make?

Lennok was seized by an inexplicable urge, but he soon shook his head neatly.

The answer was decided even before I heard his proposal.

“Tell me honestly. It’s not that I don’t understand your feelings.”

Who can imagine how he feels when he was betrayed by his mentor whom he trusted so much and turned into a dog guarding the Mage Tower?

Lennok understood why Gionis Verwein had gone this far.

Perhaps this was also a future that Lennok could face.

It’s probably because he knows that he could have withered as someone’s test subject or toy in an unknown mage tower without even knowing his own future.

I still remember what Grisha said.

Did they say that everyone involved with Pandemonium ended up either opposing them or joining them?

This is probably the power of pandemonium and why they are so powerful and terrifying.

There was evidence in front of Lennok’s eyes that their knowledge and power could perfectly penetrate the human heart.

“But I don’t want to help you either. I joined hands with Pandemonium, but I took things too far… … . No one will be able to escape the responsibility of this.”

Apart from the circumstances of Zionis, many people who had nothing to do with this incident died.

Members of the Senate, the wizard of the Mage Tower and the delegation to the Machine City who had gone missing. Even those who died in a furnace accident.

He had no desire to side with the Mage Tower, but he was also reluctant to help him.

In the end, who can guarantee that Lennok won’t be victimized by Zionis like that?

“… … .”

Gionis was silent.

“I don’t think you understood what I was saying.”

After a long pause, he took a slow breath and spoke.

“Otherwise, do you think there would be any reason to keep you alive?”

At the same time as he said that, flames shot up from Lennok’s feet and engulfed him.

Aaaaaaaaaaa!!!

unrelenting hands. However, there was not even a hint of agitation on Gionis’ face.

From the moment Lennok found this place in the first place, he had no choice left.

He thought he was a high-level freezing wizard, so he only asked for cooperation even though he knew Ban’s identity.

For Zionis, who sacrificed even those who had nothing to do with his circumstances without hesitation, there was no option to send the opponent alive.

Whoops!!

“You’re the one who didn’t understand my answer.”

“… … !!”

Lennok walked out of the pillar of flame, shaking off the heat lightly and laughing.

“I can’t buy one of my legs on that condition.”

Shortly thereafter, the shotgun in Lennok’s hand burst into flames.

Accurately hit Gionis’ left shoulder. A circular shockwave swept through him, knocking the thick walls of the tower apart.

Woooooooooo!!!

Gionis, who blocked the impact with the flames raised from under his feet, took a step forward.

“I wonder if you can still say that after crushing both of your legs… … place!”

The two wizards simultaneously raised their magical powers and swung their hands.

[Chain Lightning]

[9 stacked White Thunder]

[Square Ball]

[Blood Line]

Dududududu!!!

Red and blue radiance crossed over dozens of times in an instant, tearing the floor of the tower apart.

Remnants of the wall that had been severed and smashed by the intense firepower crumbled like grains of sand and exploded in a chain through the nearby corridor in an instant.

The sphere of lightning thrown by Lennok explodes in the air, releasing a dazzling light, and the disk

of flame that Zionis swings downwards grows in size endlessly, turning the surroundings into a sea of fire.

The moment when each other’s breathing comes and goes.

The magic power raised by the two wizards turned into dozens of battles and purple flowers bloomed in the air.

tutter tutter!!

“… … !!”

In the midst of bursting out one after another, intense flashes of light that made it impossible to see properly in front of the eyes.

However, Lennok didn’t miss the moment when Gionis’ expression faintly distorted.

He must have guessed what level Lennok’s fighting ability and fighting skills had reached through the previous sparring.

However, they are shaken by this situation in which doubt has turned to certainty as the initiative is taken away in an instant from the position where they exerted their best efforts to attack.

Conversely, Lennok was faintly impressed with Gionis’ initial response.

‘It seems that the fact that he was active in the central front wasn’t a rumor in itself.’

At the same time that Lennok raises his mana, he fires his mana indiscriminately in all directions.

The floor of the research building was deliberately smashed, changing the stage to a conference room and expanding the battlefield.

At first glance, it may seem like a meaningless waste of magic, but Lennok guessed that this was his own attempt to seize the initiative in the first workshop.

Proof that you are aware that battles between sorcerers are battles for leadership where there are clear battles and fights.

The battle continues even as Lennok quickly clears the room.

Unlike Lennok, who didn’t move much from the start of the battle, Gionis was already running furiously down the hallway on his two legs, keeping distance from Lennok.

At the same time, he draws across the floor with one finger and forms a hand sign with the spilled magic power, transforming it into powerful magic.

[Red Guard Army]

Kwagwagwagwa!!!

A red crack opened in the middle of the corridor following the elongated mana on the floor, and the soldiers whose bodies were burning in it stood up.

Seeing that unique summoning magic, Lennok grinned involuntarily.

“Hoo.”

Do you intend to change the aspect of the battlefield once again by summoning the avant-garde, rather than simply attacking with firepower from the front?

That attitude of putting aside his pride as a mage and thoroughly dealing with him in his specialty.

It is a practical combat method that is completely unthinkable for a mage from the Mage Tower.

Even with the historical unique magic of the Blaver Mage Tower, the way they fight is no different from that of worldly wizards who grew up on the battlefield.

In some ways, he was clearly a sorcerer who was quite similar to Lennok.

“good!!”

In an instant, a series of groups filled the wide corridor and moved towards Lennok.

Following Zionis’s fingertips, he rushed towards Lennok in a disorderly manner.

[Geoeoeo!!]

While pushing Lennok with his body burning with super-high temperature flames, he forces a sloppy hand-to-hand combat.

It didn’t end with simply blocking the flames, but the blazing heat scorched all the air in the hallway and interfered with breathing

.

Woooo!!

[Sink hole]

At that moment, the floor of the corridor collapsed and a huge hole was formed, and the soldiers rushing towards Lennok collapsed downstairs in vain.

“… … !!”

Gionis, who was chanting magic behind the soldiers, shook his shoulders.

Basically, the endoskeleton of the Mage Tower uses magic blocking material to prevent magic interference from mages.

Although it is unavoidable that it will be destroyed by an impact exceeding the limit, it is forbidden for mages to artificially tamper with the structure of the tower.

Nevertheless, Lennok opened the hole casually, clearing the corridor in an instant and opening the space between the two.

If the floor had been shattered by impact, the bodies of the soldiers would have exploded in the aftermath, and enormous flames would have exploded filling the corridor in an instant.

Did that wizard think that far and drill a hole down the hallway?

The conflict in my head was fleeting.

The moment you hesitate, you lose the initiative.

As soon as he put aside the specific questions and finished the magic he had been chanting, a bright red glow began to form in his hands.

Flame class unique magic
