Drug-Eating Genius Mage
Chapter 270

Kingmaker (2)

Silence passed.

Oren stared at Lennok with his brow narrowed.

It must have been because Lennok’s proposal was so unexpected from his point of view.

But Lennok saw no need to complicate things under these circumstances.

8 families that exist inside the fort. However, it is enough to divide the power structure neatly into two.

Lennok intended to investigate Samyoung’s cooperation and the internal circumstances of the 8th family on the condition that he assume the role of kingmaker in this proxy war.

At that moment, the shadow curtain that blocked out the surrounding noise collapsed.

The freed warriors hurriedly tried to rush at Lennok.

“Hahahahaha!!!”

Everyone stopped in place at the sound of Oren’s voice bursting with laughter.

The cold and arrogant expression he had been making up until now is nowhere to be found, leaning back on the chair and restlessly shaking his shoulders.

Oren, who had been laughing like that for a while, muttered slowly, catching his breath.

“Heh heh… … . Listening to you, I can feel that the prestige of Bagoong Fortress has fallen to the ground.”

“… … .”

“How did things turn out this way… … . It’s very fun, it’s not so much fun… … .”

As Oren’s eyes, which had been muttering blankly to himself, came into focus, he replied coldly.

“But it’s not fun.”

thud!!

At that moment, the pitch-black shadow that had been raised from Oren’s feet once again enveloped the entire throne room and changed its appearance.

The ceiling of the wooden palace soars high into the sky, casting a huge shadow over the changing audience room.

Wow!!

Lennok looked up at the changing landscape of the Palace of Trees, his arms folded in silence.

To be able to remodel one’s nest to this extent using magic formulas, the magicians’ ability to build a base cannot be ignored.

“My lord!!”

“How can you be alone with such an outsider… … !!”

Samyoung’s warriors, pushed all the way out of the palace, were anxiously calling the name of the family head.

Oren neatly ignored the shouts coming from all directions and stood up from his throne.

Flutter!!

The overcoat with abundant feathers draped over the shoulders had a sharp appearance, as if embroidered with the wings of a crow.

At the same time as he stretched out his foot, the long wings that rose from behind his back supported his body and swayed.

“Considering the conditions set by the guy who rolled in from outside the fort, he’s too self-indulgent.”

saaaaaa… … .

As he stretched out his hand, the shadows gathering under his feet turned into a cane of dead wood.

At the same time as he grabbed the staff, Oren’s magic power spread out in all directions and in an instant began to crush the vast palace area.

Woo woo woo woo… … !!

“I’ll have to check myself today to see if I’m capable enough.”

A smile still hung on Oren’s face as he said that.

Lennox finally realized the emotion on his face and smiled.

“Samyoung Family. In the first place, you had no interest in my offer.”

“… … .”

“You’re not going to have any conversation without checking your skills?”

It’s not that I don’t understand. Changing the guidelines of a family that has been carefully observed so far cannot be decided with just a few words of conversation.

But would it be an illusion if the smile on O-Ren’s lips looked closer to a sense of war than curiosity?

“I’ve been wondering for a long time what level the cartel bosses have reached,”

said Oren, laying his wand-holding hand horizontally.

“The lightning that is said to have caught and killed the apostate monk… … . Show me right in front of my eyes!”

Woooooooooo!!

At that moment, the shadows in the throne room rose all at once, coiling around Oren and spinning.

Pulsating like sticky tar, it slowly but surely wets the space and paints over it.

Even Lennok, who had some knowledge and senses about shadow magic, was impressed with his manipulation ability.

Even Lennok was the first sorcerer to freely deal with the shadows, which were only traces and traces of light.

“I used to think something like this would happen at least once.”

Lennox also raised his mana and grinned.

“It was the right answer to come alone.”

The sorcerer and Samyeong’s family head clashed almost simultaneously, with blue lightning flashing from both hands.

Aaaaaaang!!

The explosions of lightning and shadows exploded from the fingertips overlapped, sending heavy shockwaves down in all directions.

Instead of ending in a single clash, the magical powers that should have escaped the magician’s control after the realization come alive and split into dozens of lightning bolts and hundreds of bullets of shadow.

A torrent of unstoppable magical power.

Ignoring the sharp anticipation that mercilessly passed through the limbs, the two sorcerers twisted the mana in their hands.

Doo doo doo doo doo doo!!!

[Thunderbolt]

[Spirit Opening: Spirit]

The thick electric current that burst out between Lennok’s fingers changed into lightning that ran through the air and covered the ground in the blink of an eye.

The shadows rising from Oren’s feet rotate in all directions and transform into a gigantic beast and run.

The shadows that filled the ground and the thunderbolts that flashed ceaselessly in the air took over each other’s territory without ever retreating.

Kagagak!!!

below the left knee. After bending the three shields at right angles to deflect the approaching shadow blades, he reversed his fingers and slammed the huge ice pillar on his back.

Dozens of shadow needles shot right after were stuck between the ice pillars and turned into hundreds of ice crystals.

A cold chill made from magical crystals. Breathe in and lift your spirits again.

Before I knew it, Lennok’s left pupil had turned into a passionate purple.

‘It’s tricky.’

The sequence of the workshop itself, which Oren throws, is surprisingly not so violent or extreme.

However, the shadow technique itself, which thoroughly mixes the first attack and counterattack, changes more colorfully and flexibly than anything else, making Lennok’s response difficult.

A sharp thorn sprouted from the shadow sphere rising from the floor, and a beast’s jaw protruded from the tip of the thorn, biting Lennok.

He understands and handles the characteristics of shadows that do not have a fixed form better than anyone else.

This could be possible not only because of his long training and combat experience, but also because Oren’s innate thinking ability itself is free.

A privilege unique to shadow magic that allows you to twist the direction at will at the end of an offensive while thoroughly keeping the basics of combat necessary as a magician.

It was a very different battle logic from Parden McQueen, who had versatile abilities but preferred to press down with force.

“Is this all it takes to make such a loud noise?!”

It wasn’t enough to manipulate the pile of dozens of shadows tied to his fingertips, and Oren started to narrow the distance directly toward Lennok.

Voices of astonishment echoed among the other warriors who watched with their mouths wide open, but Oren did not care.

Kaga Gak!!

[Hyeon-gyeom(玄鎌)]

Instead, Lennok added a huge scythe to the staff he was holding in his hand with a slightly surprising and fluid movement and began to apply pressure.

Instead of panicking at the unexpected melee, Lennok snapped his fingers.

The ice crystals scattered between the shattered ice pillars exploded in all directions, scattering chilly air like a storm.

tutter tong!!

“Huh… … !!!”

However, instead of stopping there, Oren took a deep breath and threw himself into the cold storm that raged in all directions.

Only then did Lennok realize Oren’s thoughts and smile.

Kaaaa!!

A huge spear of ice fell from the air and caught Oren’s shadow scythe.

Immediately after that, the ice spears of the same size surrounded Oren and plunged down, creating a huge prison of ice.

Lennok murmured as he looked down at the scythe of shadows that had approached the tip of his nose.

“Looking at it now, your mindset is closer to that of a warrior than a sorcerer. No, you have lived as a warrior and still have that kind of magic talent?”

I guessed it roughly when I saw Hyu-woon quarreling with him at Sam-young’s home, but now I can be sure.

The fighting style as a warrior and the manipulation ability as a magician.

Samyeong Family Lord O-Ren was a superman who perfected himself by achieving the state in those two aspects.

“Interesting. Are all the Aspect powers of the fortress like this?”

“The entertainment hasn’t gone yet, so what nonsense are you talking about!!”

Oren roared and transformed the shadow blade into a giant hand.

The moment the shadow’s grip was about to catch Lennok and swallow him.

[Gyeolpok (結爆)]

Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!

The entire ice prison in which Oren was imprisoned exploded, sending out a tremendous shockwave.

Lennok spoke nonchalantly as he held up his shield at an angle and let the aftermath flow.

“But narrowing the distance means that the movement becomes easier to predict. Is there any reason to narrow down the options on your own with that kind of magic ability?”

For Lennok, who succeeded in visualizing the observation of the divergence point through the Mystic Eye in a local aspect, it is just a handshake.

However, Oren did not pay attention to the intense heat of magic that burst out around him.

Rather, the cloak that was draped over his shoulders rose like huge shadowy wings, enveloping and protecting his body.

Flutter!!

At the same time Oren’s body is revealed from the inside of his coat, he spreads his wings and soars up into the sky.

asked Lennok, staring up at him.

“If the purpose is to gauge the level, I wonder if this is enough.”

A battle between superhumans who have risen to the status quo.

There was no way they could end it without raising their power considerably.

However, if you wield power by adding a realm or a microcosm, this huge wooden palace will not remain.

It is curious whether Oren’s hierarchy, which has the capabilities of both a warrior and a magician, was completed in either a microcosm or a realm, but Oren wouldn’t be hoping for that far either.

Oren’s lips twitched faintly as he looked down at Lennok.

“… … good. I know you deserve your arrogance.”

He murmured as he slowly laid his wand horizontally.

“Let’s decide the winner with the next three battles.”

Awesome profit… … !!

The shadow drawn from the tip of the wand extended towards Lennok twisted into a spiral spear.

Lennok, who confirmed that, immediately raised his mana.

“I don’t need even three times.”

Pagging support… … !!

Darby’s body glowed from the inside of the coat, assisting Lennok’s spell, and the essence of alchemy melted in her body responded and obeyed the doctor.

“I will prove it once.”

Creation-type unique magic: Alchemy applied

double fusion.

Pajijijijijik!!

The two bolts of electricity leaked from between Lennok’s grip and twisted into a double helix, transforming into a harpoon the size of his forearm.

A lightning strike that flashed with intense light that would not be lacking even if it blinded both eyes.

[Thunderbolt], which was designed only for penetration and reverberation, was mixed with the common magic [Alpha Light], and began to emit a white aurora.

PAAAAAAAAA!!!

The shadows also avoid their places as the shadows that have settled down in the courtyard are completely removed by the unusual amount of light.

It was an instant for the complexion of the warriors who were watching it from all directions to change.

“… … .”

For a moment, the corner of Oren’s mouth twitched, but neither of the two magicians stopped the spell.

Intention raced through the air, preoccupied space, and one step later, magic moved along with will.

The two spears pointed in different directions in the sky and on the ground attach themselves to each other’s heads like magnets.

Awesome!!!

“Ughhh!!”

“Everyone stay seated!!”

A scene in which light and shadow divide into two lines, dividing the entire space into two halves.

The impact shattered the air around the area, blowing heavy winds everywhere, and other warriors struggled to secure their sight somehow.

At that moment, Lennok’s synthesis magic, which penetrated the window of shadow, changed once more.

[Gwanchun]

Wood Deud Deude Deuk!!

A ray of light penetrated the shadow mark of Oren, who was trying to maintain its shape somehow.

Instead of losing its power, it accelerates in reverse and runs through Oren’s short distance without hesitation.

“hmm!!!”

A flash of lightning surged up into the sky as it grazed Oren’s shoulder with a short drive and tore through the air.

A flash of light soared unstoppably into the sky, smashing the ceiling of the wooden palace that had risen into the sky, revealing a clear sky into the courtyard.

Aaaaaaa!!

Right after that, the aurora borealis shot by Lenok shattered and split in the sky, launching a small aurora above the wooden palace.

“… … !!!!”

Only then did Oren realize that Lennok’s magic was not aimed at him in the first place, and Oren’s eyes widened, but it was too late.

The sunlight projected by the aurora borealis began to devour Oren’s shadow without hesitation.

“I am somewhat knowledgeable about shadows.”

Looking up at Oren’s hardened face, Lennok murmured.

“Among all the spells, the special operation system is the most easily affected by the environment. Isn’t it a spell that can hide weaknesses, but can’t get rid of them?”

Unlike black magic, which essentially draws out the inner darkness and uses it, the shadow is a real concept, a technique implemented using an existing medium as a catalyst.

It is easier to manipulate than general black magic, has a high magical conductivity, and has a relatively high compatibility with special spells.

However, even considering that, it is clear that it is relatively difficult to cope with sudden changes in the battlefield due to environmental constraints.

It wasn’t the problem of weakening Oren’s shadow right now.

It was as if Lennok was directly demonstrating to Oren that he could overturn the game again and again with a single gesture.

The appearance of Oren, who lost all mediums for the magic in an instant and became defenseless.

The warriors also began to move.

“How dare this cheeky bastard!!”

“Everyone protect the family head!”

“stop!!”

The moment when the air that had been loose became tense in an instant and was about to go to the limit.

Oren’s shouts stopped everything.

“Go, Lord… … ?”

“Why did that wizard… … .”

“Everyone, don’t move.”

He gazed at the shadowless floor of the wooden palace, ignoring everything else that moved around him.

Even if the whole sky is filled with bright polar lights, as long as objects exist, the existence of shadows cannot be avoided.

But what if the shape of the shadow remaining so faintly draws a specific pattern?

If you combine the remnants of the real aurora and the invisible flow of magical power and draw them in your head, a picture will come to mind.

The shape of a dragon with a shark head.

A remnant of one of the gods worshiped by the Guido Church.

Another pattern that existed along with the image of extinction he left behind when dealing with the black magician Craig.

Lennok had made up his mind and confirmed some of his knowledge to Oren.

What exactly is the identity of the forces behind this fort?

“… … .”

How much does Oren really know?

How far could he have guessed from the message that Lennok had just sent him?

Is he really the right talent to stir up the stage of this rigid fortress to his heart’s content, just as Lennok thought?

Lennok’s deeply sunken eyes met Oren’s gaze.

“Heh heh… … .”

Oren gave a sullen laugh and let go of the staff he was holding.

Looking down at the staff that had disappeared through the shadows, he let out a deep sigh and slowly descended to the ground.

“I’m old too. In the old days, every time something like this happened, I would have ended up seeing it.”

The wings of the shadow fluttering from his shoulder as he murmured that, were not disturbed at all.

Even under this courtyard bathed in intense sunlight, the shadow he controlled had a solid shape, as if it were unaffected by the environment.

Aside from being surprised by Lennok’s aurora borealis, it must be proof that Oren has also perfected his spell to a level where he is not greatly affected by the environment.

But even with such power and status in his hands, his expression still looked complicated.

“Follow me.”

Oren turned his back and headed first to the back of the throne room, followed slowly by Lennok.
