The ceremony of selecting apostles conducted in the highest secrecy by the Church of the
Land that Runs on the Sea (2) .
The legacy of Jindun, which is believed to be hidden in the Far East branch.
And the existence of a mirror that reflects the will to exist, which was mentioned in the thesis on the projection rate of existence.
As all three of the reasons at stake in this case are the kind that Lennok can’t easily overlook, Lennok is willing to cooperate as much as possible when necessary.
However, it is only natural that he becomes more cautious after hearing Pio’s words that he would clone Lennok.
It’s not strange that the shifter Pio took part in the operation, but what use would Lennok’s physical information be needed?
Pio took a step back after confirming that Lennok’s expression had changed somewhat.
“Ah, if the word cloning bothers me, it doesn’t matter if I call it mutation. Anyway, since I participated in this operation, it would be much easier to use this side for the main goal of the operation.”
“It’s a change….”
Come to think of it, did I say that Pio’s original technique was a mutant ability?
“It seems so unbelievable. Okay, take a good look.”
Shrugging his shoulders and stepping back, Pio warmed up his body lightly and quickly raised his mana.
Whiik!!
As he grabbed his hair and spun it around, the top of his neck transformed into the shape of a huge dog’s head.
“…!!”
The figure of P.O, who has a normal human body from the neck down, but has changed to Rapford’s face from the top of the neck.
“I’m a shape shifter, so I’m a magician who changes the shape of objects or living things.”
“….”
“It’s not difficult to simply put leather on your appearance, but you need to know your opponent a bit more in order to achieve a perfect camouflage.”
As soon as he shakes his hands and stands up, Pio’s face returns to normal.
“…From now on, I’ll ask you in a more normal way.”
Lappard, who had been looking at him with a puzzled expression, turned his head away.
Judging from Lappard’s reaction, it didn’t seem like a very pleasant experience.
“But anyway, since it’s a technique that mutates the appearance, it’s difficult to use it without the other person’s biometric information.”
“Right….”
Realizing why Lapis had included Pio in this operation without the slightest hesitation, Lennok nodded.
If Pio could freely disguise himself as Lennok and other observers, that alone would greatly increase what he could do during the infiltration process.
It is said that they will not simply decorate their appearance to be plausible, but will imitate their internal skeleton and existing life reactions as well as their physical abilities through mutation.
Lennox smiled and obediently held out his wrist.
“I know what you’re thinking, so let’s try. However, it is highly likely that there will be no significant effect.”
“Hehe, what are you looking at me for? No matter how brilliant a wizard is, if he allowed it, everything would be prosperous with the mysterious technique… … Kkeek!!”
Pajijik!!
As Pio licked his lips and grabbed Lennok’s wrist, the moment he tried to energize him, all of Pio’s hair stood on end and his entire body convulsed.
“Gegegegegegegeep…!!”
Pio, who had been trembling as if his head had been struck by lightning, opened his eyes wide and fell backwards trembling.
“….”
Lappard, who was watching from the side, opened his mouth wide at the completely unexpected situation and turned his gaze to Gapsun, who was staring at the coastline from a distance with his hands behind his back.
Seeing Pio collapsed with his tongue out, Lennok shook his head quietly.
“You said it wouldn’t work.”
A transcendent talent that Lennok set himself up by taking a penalty.
Among them, his talent for targeted resistance is at a level far beyond Lennok’s own hierarchy.
Resistance that cannot be captured by all kinds of curses, target magic, or spells corresponding to various target designations.
It is only natural that Lennok, who had mastered his talents to the limit, would not be captured by other sorcerers’ scans.
It would be possible for a magician like Pio to forcefully use his strength to manipulate Lennok’s biometric information, but the more he did, the more the recoil would come back.
“…Fuck this is ridiculous!!”
Pio, who jumped up from her seat, screamed.
“There were cases where mutation was impossible, but there was no case where it couldn’t be measured at all!!”
This is not the case with vampires, for whom Lennok was able to directly give blood and remove resistance.
Since it was impossible to know how much information Pio needed to transform, it was close to impossible for Lennok to voluntarily get rid of the resistance itself.
“Looks like collecting information for mutation is also a kind of transformation ceremony, is that correct?”
“…yes.”
“Then it probably won’t work no matter what you do. Give up and start.”
Giving away Evan’s body information itself isn’t particularly risky for Lennok.
It wasn’t like he was giving Lennok’s real blood, like when he was being examined by Murphy, and Evan’s appearance, body odor, and skin magic pattern were all close to a randomly created dummy.
However, it was difficult for Lennok to transmit it to Pio through a spell because of his ability to designate a target.
“Fuck it, I shouldn’t be like this….”
Pio frowned and muttered.
“I thought I’d disguise Evan’s face to draw attention and give you time to get inside.”
“….”
Are you planning to change into Evan’s form and create a perfect alibi and timing for Lennok?
If he could mutate and imitate Evan’s presence and magic, it would be enough to fool the eyes of the priests of the church.
Considering that Lennok is not a bad idea, it seems that he has been using his mutation ability quite skillfully… … .
“Okay then how about this!!”
Pio, who stood up from his seat, took a stance, widening his distance from Lennok.
Perhaps he was quite accustomed to hand-to-hand fighting, but Lennok seemed very skilled in his poomsae, which lowered his center of gravity and kept distance.
At the same time, Pio made a hand sign with the other hand, and this time began casting a spell on himself.
ugh… … !!
The form of an unknown incantation sentence floating on the forehead.
Pio, who finished the chant quickly, returned to his stance and said.
“The mutation system’s unique technique [Natural Enemy’s Mimic]. It’s a technique that mimics the opponent’s strength through direct combat with the enemy.”
It was only then that Lennok understood the meaning of Pio’s words and let out a blank laugh.
“So, let’s have a fight here right now?”
“Originally, it was a technique created to overcome a crisis situation by copying the characteristics or strengths of the opponent in a tense situation.”
Pio grinned and patted his forehead.
“It’s less efficient than receiving biometric information properly, but wouldn’t it satisfy the minimum requirements for mutation?”
Chew!!
As I swung my feet down for a long time, the sand on the shore swayed and blew up, bursting with sand dust.
“A battle mage with one hand in the Blue Eye. Now, let’s check that skill.”
At Pio’s bold words, Lennok couldn’t stand it and laughed lightly.
In the meantime, there have been many people who have been arguing to see Lennok’s skills, but for this reason, it was the first time the opponent asked for sparring.
“good.”
Lennok, who brushed his feet off and entered the sandy beach, opened his mouth.
“I don’t have much time, so I set a few conditions.”
Raises one’s mana and pours it into the sand beneath one’s feet.
“This sparring is only for collecting biometric information necessary for mutation. According to my understanding of the enemy’s mimicry, avoiding it wouldn’t help, would it?”
Pio smiled and nodded.
“Exactly, Evan. So you don’t run away too much just to win?”
“I will not move more than three steps until the spell is over.”
As Lennok said, he pounded his foot on a nearby pile of sand.
“….”
[…] … .]
“No, you don’t have to do that…?”
At Lennox’s absurd declaration, not only P.O and Rapford, but even Gap-seon shut their mouths.
It was because the words Lennok had just thrown sounded far more absurd than Pio’s words about the opponent’s mutation.
To that extent, what Lennok just uttered is nothing more than a declaration that is not strange, even if it sounds more like arrogance than confidence.
What does it mean when one side gives itself a penalty for not moving from its place in a battle of superhumans?
An assertion that cannot be brought out without the certainty of completely crushing the opponent from the front, and even with such certainty, it is difficult to bring it out.
It is only natural that the atmosphere becomes strange at Lennok’s calm words, which are practically provocations.
But Lennok didn’t just say those words without calculating anything.
‘Because that’s what I always do.’
Having not been properly mobile for quite some time, Lennok is good at fighting without moving.
Since not moving doesn’t feel like a huge constraint, it was desirable to use that fact to get the necessary work done as quickly as possible.
If I hadn’t felt that Pio’s transformation technique was effective in the first place, I wouldn’t have started it.
“…what good Because I was the first to speak. Can you understand that I gave permission?”
Pio also quickly adjusted his expression and raised his mana.
The moment he fixed his posture and lowered his center of gravity, Pio’s left arm turned into a giant bat’s wings and fluttered.
As the one-armed wings stirred the air, it began to scatter sand dust in all directions.
“Then go…!!”
Whoa… … !!!
The moment he thought Pio with his wings spread wide was hidden between the bat wings, he was already swinging his fist right in front of Lennok’s eyes.
It couldn’t be faster than the sense of magic, but it aimed precisely at the gap in the sensory sphere.
I received P.O’s punch with a sand barrier of several meters raised under my feet.
The barrier hardened by fluidly mixing mana between the grains of sand is stronger than most steel plates.
But even after seeing Lennok’s response, Pio swung his hand at him instead of running away.
Do-do-do-do!!!
The punch that stretches through his shoulders like a cannonball briefly twists in front of the barrier before penetrating it and stopping right in front of Lennok’s nose.
A fierce momentum that went beyond simply threatening the wizard and crushed and pierced the outer wall of the shield with the aftermath.
creepy… … !!
Pio laughed like he was embarrassed.
“hey…. Are you really not going to avoid it?”
Lennok, instead of responding to those words, carefully inspected Pio’s fist that was right in front of him.
The punch, which instantly pierced the sand barrier that jumped over the steel plate, was not a human fist, but was transformed into a form resembling a mace.
“Is it possible to transform into a non-living form? Weaponizing the whole body is not entirely impossible.”
“Continue…!!”
A huge gun barrel protruded from the inside of the forearm that had changed into the shape of a mace, and a light flashed from the inside of the muzzle.
bang!!
Soon after, the sand barrier exploded from the inside, revealing Lennok’s body intact in front.
Before the obstacle between the two completely disappeared, Pio leaned forward and rotated his mana.
Kagagak!!!
The arm that transformed into the head of a beast tore off the shield, and the spine whip protruding from the back aimed at the rear.
The booster bursting from the lower part of the leg pushed the body forward, and the wing of the skin rising from the back of the shoulder rotated and changed direction in the air.
It is a state of being able to freely change direction, accelerated explosions, and recoil control by rapidly changing parts of the body into the form of beasts and firearms.
It is proof that they have been honing the fighting techniques of humans for a long time in two areas of rational calculation and instinctive intuition.
I guessed from when he said that he completed the hierarchy with the transformation technique, but Pio himself is probably a very good warrior.
It is absurd that a transformation magician who has to fight by mutating his body is weak in direct combat ability.
Doo doo!!!
The blow he wielded roughly split and melted into three blades in the air, and
the moment the gun barrel rising from his elbow spewed fire, the air currents violently fluctuated and a small storm raged.
Unexpectedly bizarre and intense movements begin to materialize one after another in all the movements that are driven by knocking on the shield and finding loopholes.
It’s a one-sided composition that makes it hard to believe that Lennok is standing still and countering all the attacks.
“Caught…!!”
The moment I thought that P.O’s hand stretched out like a flashlight and grabbed Lennok’s collarbone and twisted it.
thump… … !!
A fist-sized pile of sand covered Pio’s fingers, which had turned into sharp claws, and stopped him.
A perfect response that is virtually impossible if you did not recognize it in advance.
Reversely, realizing that he had punched the intended hole, Pio’s expression twisted and Lennok smiled.
“Now it is my turn.”
At that moment, there was a shock as if the entire sandy beach was tilting.
Kwaaaaang!!
A huge wave of sand rising from Pio’s feet accurately picked out the body, ate it, and dragged it down to the ground.
Like the mouth of a living beast, the sandy beach shakes and swallows the body of a superman like an ant hell.
“Aww!! What is this again!!”
Embarrassed, Pio quickly kicks his feet and calls for an air current to bounce his body over his head, but as if he had waited, a whole pile of sand stands up and surrounds it as if it were wrapped around him.
The wind that burst from Pio’s body rotated along the sand pillars that stood up on the shore and grew in size.
It began to grow in size enough to spread to the edge of the sea.
The situation suddenly grew to such an extent that Lappard began to glance at the distant horizon with an uneasy expression on his face.
“Dreyfus-sama, are you okay?”
[That’s a ridiculous ability to manipulate magic.]
Gapsun replied without taking his eyes off the pillars of sand.
[To put it bluntly, it’s not even magic that belongs to the system at all. Is it possible to bring the battle structure to this point just by manipulating the flow of particles? … .]
Rapper didn’t seem interested in sparring as he already knew Lennok’s skills, but Dreyfus was different.
As an 8th-level high-ranking magician, he could clearly see how technically excellent the battle between Pio and Lennok had reached.
Needless to say, Pio’s skill in manipulating magic and handling the aftermath is comparable to that of any magician despite being a master, but what was even more surprising than that was the fact that Lennok was countering Pio’s offensive with just
one catalyst, the sand.
Considering that Evan, who had heard rumors, was a wizard of the flame system, in fact, it means that he is continuing the battle without using his body magic properly.
Not even once did he go against Lennok’s own words that he would not move from the spot.
At this point in time, did it make sense to continue sparring while maintaining the combat composition as Pio said?
Pio probably doesn’t know that either.
As if that thought was correct, a flash of light flashed between the sand pillars, and at the same time, a strong wind blew up and spread out on both sides, transforming into the wings of a daebung.
Using the propulsive force that flew upside down from the sky to the ground, a huge bird that had risen and submerged in an instant raised its head to look at Lennok.
Wedge liquid!!
It clenched its sharp beak tightly and pressed down Lennok with wind pressure from the descent.
A sandstorm blew from all directions, obscuring the sight of the two.
The appearance of P.O, who had returned to his true form before he knew it, appeared through the scenery beyond the dust.
The crest engraved on Pio’s forehead was shining brightly as he sealed the hands with both hands.
“Fulfill the first condition of mimicry of the natural enemy, then go straight away!!”
Faaaa!!
At that moment, P.O’s body bursts with dazzling brilliance and begins to change into Evan’s face and physique right in front of Lennok’s nose.
Somewhere expressionless, yet a strange atmosphere that makes it hard to recognize the impression.
Would it feel like this if someone else saw Evan’s face right in front of them?
Of course, in the case of Evan, it was an arbitrary identity, but he did not know that he would really succeed.
“Ohhh…!!I just received basic body information, but the magic rotation speed is ridiculous… … !!”
“….”
Even Lennok is curiously looking at Pio, who has mimicked the image of Evan.
“Okay, at this level, it’s a little more certain without using the transformation technique right away…!!”
The moment when P.O looked down at his fingertips with a slight excitement and was about to take a step forward toward Lennok with a smile of repentance.
Quadang!!
I tripped over my own feet and fell and hit my head in the sand.
“….”
“….”
A strange silence flows all over the place in an instant.
Pio, who blankly raised his gaze with a sand-stained face, tilted his head.
“…what?”
