Proxy War (3)

It didn’t take long for Asui to wake up from a coma and realize that she had survived.

“I did it!”

Rather, he started pouring out his words out of excitement at the fact that he had fought the agent of Sagun intact and returned to life proudly.

“Perhaps the instinct of a great warrior like my uncle was dormant in me. In fact, unless my beastly nature, which had been suppressed by my magical abilities, was awakened through this incident, how could I come back alive and well among the prominent agents… … .”

[This bastard has changed a lot since he came out alive.]

Manson murmured in disgust, and Lennok shook his head.

“Leave it alone. Asui’s real role isn’t proxy warfare anyway. I’d rather be uplifted with the joy of victory.”

“No, you never won in the first place, did you?”

“Oh, I see.”

Lennox laughed as if he was briefly confused by Chen’s words.

“But doesn’t it matter?”

No one here accepts Asui’s defeat as a defeat.

At the point where he successfully withdrew his limbs and fucked Sagun’s representative, the audience’s attention was focused on this side.

Now, it was enough to let others know where the weight of the proxy war was leaning.

“I will start right away. Can you afford it?”

“of course.”

Chen answered while lightly warming up.

“You practiced like that for this day.”

While tying the curve of her waist, she pulled back the curtains and stepped into the manor.

Wow!!

Deafening shouts as if they had made a promise.

The executioner was waiting for him in a magnificent response that made the ground tremble slightly.

His mental health may be shaken by sending Asui back, but his breathing is stable as if he has already made up his mind.

The light in his eyes flashed beyond the helmet and calmly looked down at Chen.

Chen silently took out the curved sword and slowly examined his body.

I had already gotten used to the feeling of a magician tied to my whole body.

The important thing is not to blindly follow Lennok’s manipulations, but to understand his battle logic and to prepare for and react to the actions he will take in advance.

That alone made Chen feel his senses sharpen even more.

The executioner looked down at him with a heavy gaze and then spoke softly into the helmet.

“The bastard of Oryunga. I heard the story.”

“… … .”

“I didn’t know that with the hand that cut my father, I would be able to lay my hand on my son as well. Among the executioners, it is considered taboo to touch blood relatives together… … .”

coo!!

The executioner lowered his posture with the heavy yam sword resting on his shoulder.

“On a day like today, even the ghosts will take care of things.”

Whoa… … !!

The appearance of an executioner who raises his mana without hesitation.

There wasn’t even a trace of carelessness left in his words and actions.

As much as he was humiliated during his fight with Asui, he is determined not to be beaten twice.

Faced with that deadly appearance, Chen also slowly adjusted his posture.

At the same time, the magician inserted by Lenok reacts and sharpens the magic flowing through Chen’s body.

Keyiing… … !!

As I felt my whole body sharp like a knife, Lennok’s voice echoed in my head.

[I’ll keep it short.]

“What?”

Lennok continued, not paying attention to the hesitation of Chen, who was lifting the curved sword.

[I got a rough idea while touching Asui earlier. Thanks to that, I think I can do something fun.]

“No, I’m sorry, but I refrain from experimenting in a place like this and just as I practiced… … Whoops… … !!”

There was no answer.

At the same time as the bell rings, Chen’s limbs shake and he starts running through the manor.

Just by lowering the upper body, leaning forward, and moving the legs, the body balances in an instant and accelerates.

In an instant, the scenery around him became blurry, but despite the tremendous acceleration, Chen’s complexion was not very good.

‘It’s too simple… … !’

While Lennok was manipulating Chen’s body and experimenting with battle logic, Chen wasn’t just playing around.

As an entrepreneur by birth, who took it for granted to use his brain, he was quite impressed with Lennok’s way of thinking.

Even in the middle of a fierce battle, he sets clear priorities and does not hesitate to engage in verbal battles and psychological warfare at every moment.

They do not hesitate to make reckless or bold moves, but they are also part of psychological warfare to take away the timing and take the initiative.

Observe the act of battle as if looking down from a large perspective, and take more options than the opponent in the sum of the battles, even if it means giving up the right to strike moment by moment.

The frenzied confidence that if you have the opportunity to choose, you will surely choose the best judgment.

If it wasn’t for an opportunity like this, Chen wouldn’t have even guessed how Lennok thinks and acts.

As much as Lennok’s control ability grows, it is only natural that Chen understands Lennok’s battle logic and synergy rises.

Conversely, the moment Lennok manipulated Chen’s body, it was the same as Chen being able to guess Lennok’s intentions, albeit slightly.

A rush that ran at full speed. At first glance, it looks good, but it’s not a good move against opponents with a difference in weight.

The reasonable result that can be hoped for by rushing in this way is to break the opponent’s balance immediately after the collision to narrow the enemy’s choices and, on the contrary, to increase one’s own options.

Taking advantage of the absolute psychological warfare that occurs in the process is the Lennok method that Chen has experienced so far, but the situation is different now.

Considering the executioner’s wide-open physique and thick armor, no matter how much Chen slams his magic power, there is little chance that the opponent will lose his balance.

In a word, he is a reckless pioneer.

Kaaaa!!

Chen’s curved sword, which quickly penetrated the inside of the executioner, pierced the inside of the armor.

As if he had waited, the executioner took a big step back and swung his yam sword roughly.

There may not be a shock from receiving the sharp charge, but there is no loss of balance due to the hardness of the armor and the strength of the body weight.

Even as if he had anticipated the situation, he skillfully stepped back and lifted the yam sword.

It would be impossible if the body had not been prepared by pulling back the balance from the beginning.

shhh!

A gap opens between the two as the executioner opens the distance.

A lich that can’t reach Chen’s curve and can cover the executioner’s sword.

At this rate, there will only be a future where Chen’s body is neatly split from the top of his head to his crotch.

“bye.”

The voice resounding inside the helmet is already certain of victory.

Unlike the shadow magician, who could not predict how his opponent would come out, the executioner was also somewhat skilled at fighting as a warrior.

‘Damn it… … !’

At the moment Chen bit his lip and inadvertently tried to raise both arms, the magic flowing inside his body rotated freely and created an unknown technique.

A collection of principles and configurations that are impossible to understand or understand with his current magical abilities.

Along with a strange feeling as if a puzzle is being arbitrarily put together inside the body, the ‘will’ built up in an instant is expressed as a meaning with magical energy.

Paa!!

It becomes an intangible wave and spreads out in all directions.

Right after that, the shadow that arose behind him clung to Chen’s back and flapped its wings.

Wedge love!!

The distance between two people, about three steps apart.

coo!!

“Ugh… … !!”

Having jumped over that exquisite gap that was neither far nor short, Chen’s body bounced off the executioner’s back.

Awesome!!

Behind Chen, the severed head of the executioner bounced off the helmet and rose above the manor sky.

Thousands of people gathered in this place faced the executioner’s head, which was scattered while spattering faint veins of blood.

The other family heads who were watching the scene opened their eyes wide, and at the same time, the audience cheered.

Aaaaaaaaa!!!

Who won or who should have won is of little concern from their point of view.

The important thing is to provide a spectacle as colorful as the residents of the fortress gathered together.

In that respect, the clash between Chen and the executioner that just happened was fleeting, but the background of the two was enough to give viewers a thrill.

A confrontation between the executioner who killed his father and his grown son.

Whatever the reason, isn’t it enough to make it look like a plausible revenge play?

The fact that each of them had an instant confrontation using strength and speed as their weapons and Chen won the victory was too much to see as a dramatic victory.

“shit… … . If this is going to happen, please tell me in advance.”

Chen grumbled like that, but struggled to stand up.

Picking up the curved sword that had fallen from the executioner’s throat, he raised his arm with all his might, and at the same time, the shouts resonating in the manor grew stronger.

oh oh oh oh oh oh!!!

While receiving the shouts of thousands of people with his whole body, Chen’s gaze was directed to the curtain behind the manor stage.

Lennok, who was touching his wrist backstage, noticed that gaze and smiled.

‘This is as planned for now.’

Although the process has changed slightly, the results are satisfactory for Lennok.

A player who placed shadows throughout the manor in advance, with Asui as the vanguard.

The second move was balanced by winning the proxy war with Chen as the midfielder.

In the process, stealing Asui’s technique and recreating it in Chen’s body was close to a semi-spontaneous decision, but the effect was clear as a result.

Even the other family heads, who used to look at Chen with sad eyes, are looking down at him with bristling eyes.

Chen, who had no knowledge of the art, implemented the shadow art, but from the point of view of the other family heads who do not know the inside story, it would be enough to show that he was hiding his skills.

“The executioner of the Sagun family… … .”

“My throat was blown off at one point. It’s an absurd result.”

“Right after the crash, I accelerated one more time in a ridiculous way. As for the second acceleration, I also missed it briefly.”

“Either way, it’s no coincidence that the executioner couldn’t even react. There must have been a reason why Paldun’s representative was taken away.”

“… … .”

Despite the whispers of the other family heads, the head of Paldun simply lowered his head and did not respond.

It was because it was obvious how Paldun would be treated as he had not even entered the alliance of the five families and had been deprived of his proxy.

Is it fortunate that the more active Chen is, the more the side that has been deprived of the agent’s qualifications stands out?

Lennok stared sharply at the figures of such family heads through the curtains.

It is natural to be agitated.

It’s because I’ve been moving by choosing only the results of breaking the plate and twisting the situation on the line of maintaining the planned plan as much as possible.

Only one deputy has been defeated on each side, but it should be enough to give you a sense that things aren’t working out between the other heads.

If you feel like things are going weird, that’s enough.

Someone who thinks that the flow of proxy war is changing strangely will surely take a different action.

Wasn’t Lennok’s reason to sit as captain and watch the situation without going first, in order to observe the reaction of the family heads during the proxy war?

Church of Guido.

If they were really deeply involved in the fort’s proxy war, there was no way they wouldn’t use their hands additionally in this situation.

‘Large-scale magic that sacrifices life… … If the church’s goal is really that way, then one of the head of households must be helping her. Before the proxy war is over, we need to replace out who we are allies with.’

We know roughly what the missionary Walter Martinez was aiming for to infiltrate the Palgoong Fortress.

The space-time gap that exists inside the fortress. It wouldn’t be strange if he reached out not only to Yvon but also to other family heads in order to collect the secrets contained in the ruins.

For this very moment, he embraced Oren and made Soo-ryun the head of Oryunga and put him there.

With the discerning eyes of the two, they would surely be able to identify with certainty which of the family heads was most closely in collusion with Lee Bon.

All that remains is to watch the reaction of the homeowners as they continue to change the game of proxy war to defy expectations.

* * *

While he was lost in thought, the proxy war continued.

A confrontation between Chen, who succeeded in maintaining almost all of his physical strength, and the second agent on the other side.

What appeared from the other side of the stage was a slender figured swordsman.

Lennok already had a rough idea of who he was through the Samyeong family’s information.

Adam Brobeck. He is an agent of Chilhyeon and a famous mercenary.

A member of Plato’s Office, a mercenary group that rivals Antares even in megacities, he is an exceptional level of swordsman and grappler.

Chilhyeon is one of the families that hired an outsider as an agent, just like Yukryeong, who hired Mad Manson.

Lennok’s eyes narrowed coldly as he reviewed the information in his memory.

‘Platon… … It’s been quite a while since we’ve met again.’

Year 1, when Lennok was just starting out as a freelancer.

Didn’t Plato’s members intervene here and there even at the time when he was handling the warlocks with the agents at the request of Ibelin?

It’s been quite some time since they started to hide their whereabouts, who had no place to step on whenever they received a larger-scale request.

What is the reason why those who intervened in every incident in the megalopolis are now reappearing?

How far can the vicious rumor that the unique and abnormal capital power is related to the high-ranking members of the city council reach the truth?

Contrary to the complex entanglement of thoughts in his head, Lennok dismissed the magician with a calm expression.

At the same time, the magical power reverberated in Chen’s ears and turned into a low message.

[From now on, I will proceed as I said before. Is it okay?]

“Since when did you say you asked such a thing?”

Chen replied with a wry smile.

“I can’t help it even if I get cursed at. Since we started, let’s do it until we see the end.”

It did not take long to replace out what the words meant.

As soon as five minutes had elapsed since the start of the proxy war, Chen immediately declared his withdrawal.
