Clash (3)
“Is this your first time seeing your face properly?”
The smile on his face didn’t contain the slightest intention to kill, but the greatsword in his hand was swung honestly and aimed precisely at Lennok’s waist.
Whoops!
If it hits properly, it’s not strange even if the spine is broken.
Lennok’s eyebrows rose slightly as he confirmed the bizarre shape with dark red veins protruding thickly from the wide blade.
Even at a glance, it’s not enough to call it a demonic sword.
It would be best to hold out with a shield and hit the counterattack… But is that what Irina is aiming for now that the attack and defense have been blocked once?
Thoughts were short and conclusions were reached in an instant.

The enormous mana that Lennok raised was superimposed on his right arm and began to rotate, which soon turned into a whirlwind of lightning.
[Lightning Vortex]
Pajijijijik!!!
The long-range bombardment fired from close range and the greatsword wielded by Irina collided.
Aaaaaaang!!
A shockwave bursting out with a roar. The once cracked and cracked floor collapsed heavily, and at the same time, the two people standing at the center of the amplitude came out in different ways and stood facing each other.
“………”
Even though it’s the first time we’ve met face to face, somehow it feels like meeting someone we know.
It’s probably because we’ve been thinking deeply about each other for the past week.
But Lennok cast his gaze out of the villa before speaking to her.
A vast magical power sensing ability that covers a radius of several kilometers. It was because there was an incident that could not be overlooked in that range.
More than dozens of signs. Life reactions, each with substantial mana, were rushing to this place in perfect order, jumping over a long distance.
“It is ironic.”
Irina said with a calm expression as she picked up her greatsword.
Still, the greatsword in her hand pulsated like a living heart, pulsing through unpleasant veins.
“I can’t believe that the single remedy I’ve created to protect this villa will be more helpful than the countless methods I’ve prepared to catch and kill you. After all, this is why people can’t be sure.”
“Even in this situation, there is no change in the life response felt inside the villa.”
Lennok replied.
“But despite that, there are dozens of signs running outside the villa right now.”
It wasn’t for nothing that Dylan and Mila ran through every room of the villa after they first entered.
It is important to secure the identity of Irina Pesfield, but it is difficult to trace the location easily due to the life reactions that are filled in the villa.
But now, not only Irina Pesfield appeared, but the fact that the exploration team was belatedly narrowing the encirclement was pointing to only one fact.
Irina left ‘persons to be sacrificed’ inside the villa only to deceive the intruders and buy time.
“The range and sharpness of the sensory sphere of an excellent magician are unmatched, but… it is not difficult to pass off an already existing life response as someone else’s.”
“…”
No, it’s not. Lennok’s ability to sense magic wasn’t weak enough to be fooled by such a shallow number.
Nevertheless, it would be correct to think that Lennok was not aware of this trick, after all, it was one of the abilities of the countless artifacts possessed by the Arashak Ruins Exploration Team.
As if to bite the tail of that reasoning, the translucent veil hanging from Irina’s shoulder shimmered.
“Nyx’s insignia. It is a type of artifact that hides its identity by randomly disguising life reactions within a certain range.”
said Dylan as he stepped out beside Lennok.
“I heard that it was from the Duris workshop, which has now been completely discontinued, but I managed to have that treasure.”
“Oh, but you do have eyes that don’t look like a mercenary. I thought the eye for treasure no longer existed in this city.”
“………..”
“That’s why I left here a long time ago. It’s a very unpleasant place. This needlessly large city.”
Irina smiled as she said that.
Doo doo doo doo!!
At the same time, heavy footsteps began to be heard from outside.
He didn’t even have to think about whose side the men approaching were on.
“I was a little surprised. It was hard to imagine that he would jump into action so quickly as soon as we spoke that day.”
“…”
“Ban’s response to the actions you’ve taken so far and the troubles you’ve had with my exploration corps have been quite passive, so I thought it would be safe until this side’s preparations were finished… It must have been my mistake.”
“But even so, you dug a trap in case I came in first.”
“yes. It wasn’t difficult.”
Irina answered Lenok’s words obediently.
No one here knew that it was just a ploy to buy time, but Lennok and Dylan waited patiently.
Dylan loved Lennok because Lennok was trusting his own judgment.
“It was difficult to anticipate their attack, but on the other hand, I knew that it wouldn’t be strange no matter what happened in this city.”
I didn’t think that Lennok would try to attack right away, but did he mean that he had prepared for any unexpected situation through the experience he had in the Balkans?
Apparently, the time she spent in the Balkans was a pretty harsh experience.
Enough to counterattack his attack so perfectly with only the traps that were not prepared for Lenok.
Dada Dada Dada!!
Kwaaaang!!
Dozens of exploration team members burst through the door.
In addition, signs of enveloping and approaching this side can be felt from the windows and roof of the villa.
Both of them glared at Dylan and Lennok with sharp eyes, and each of them held equipment that emitted unusual magical power.
“half. Can you see?”
Dylan muttered as he pulled out the two daggers he was wearing on his thighs.
“Those are all artifacts.”
“…..okay.”
Artifacts with various abilities, regardless of blades and accessories, shone in a dizzying way from within the field of vision.
It was not simply used for combat purposes, but from the moment it came into sight, it suppressed Lennok’s magical power and interfered with the development of magic.
A feast of carefully selected items to deal with only one wizard.
It was enough to tell at a glance how much Irina was putting in to kill Lennok.
A completely different perspective from before.
On the way to the inside of the villa, a fat man with a huge hammer is waiting for dozens of members, led by Irina, on the way out.
Even after all the ideas that existed in her head were perfectly translated into reality, Irina’s words continued.
“It was a mistake to come this far with people who couldn’t even make up a squad. If there were no members in the villa, they would have immediately noticed that it was a trap and retreated, but rather, the halfway troops would have interfered with their judgment.”
“………..”
“The sacrifices made by the members are painful… But if there is something to be recovered, it is unavoidable. What our exploration team had to do was decided from the beginning.”
Irina’s momentum, which slowly raised her magical energy and took a step forward, was so strong that even Dylan, who was standing next to her, flinched.
Although she had an intuition from the extreme sword she had shown earlier, she was also a warrior of considerable skill.
“I’ll admit it. That I’m not too different from dirty freelancers.”
Whoo!!
The greatsword was swung, and red lines spread across the sky.
“But at the end of the day, that’s how you live in this city. I will pay for the blood shed by Brooke and my members right here and now.”
“Funny. Is there a certain way?”
Lenok couldn’t help laughing at Irina’s words and let out a faint sneer.
“It’s a world where you can’t live and die as you please. Wouldn’t it make you feel a little better if you justified yourself with plausible bullshit?”
“………..”
“I thought I had succeeded in keeping my feet on hold while taking time for this moment, but how much do you really know about me?”
Lennok brushed off the cigarette ash from his mouth and continued.
“It took time and gathered all the power of the exploration team. It’s not something you’ve been waiting for alone.”
“…You’re spouting weird nonsense when you’re cornered. Start!!”
Along with the words that Irina shouted with her teeth clenched, the mana fired by the members fell all at once towards the center of the villa.
At the same time, the members in the back started charging at Dylan and Lennox in unison.
“half!!”
“know.”
Irina laughed at the stupidity of Lenok, who had been attacking the villa with only three people, but can it really be called a mistake?
The answer is, after all, that no one knows until they know the direction this battle is pointing.
As a result, Irina would never have appeared in front of Lennok without the certainty of victory.
Like a grave robber who has been exploring the buried ruins while wandering the continent for a very long time, he must have wandered around Lennok in search of a fatal opportunity.
But Lennok didn’t have time to wait for that decisive moment.
There is so much to do.
Following the words of the medicine man and bringing Malabeth from the drug lord’s safe.
And meeting the next lighthouse keeper and getting a clue about all this.
It was a daunting and difficult task for him now.
“I just don’t have time to linger here.”
The reason why he hired only Dylan and Mila and went straight to this villa.
The reason why he went straight into the operation with only Sebastian’s information.
Does Irina Fesfield realize that all those moments that made the other person feel that they had a good chance were to hasten this moment when they collided with each other?
If you don’t know, you should know from now on.
“Milla.”
The moment Lennok whispered the name of his third colleague in a low voice.
Aaaaaaaaaaaa!!
As the floor of the first floor of the villa collapsed, a huge shockwave exploded.
The expedition members lost their balance in an instant and staggered and fell downward.
“Aaaaaaaa!!”
“On the bar floor!!”
“Could it be that you’ve escaped the captain’s eyes and are still hiding down here!!”
Beneath it, Mila, with her wild hair flying, burst into madness.
In both of her dusty hands, two heavy shotguns were glowing with magical energy.
“Hahahahahahaha!!! Search them all, you fucking bastards!!”
Taang!! Taang!!
Dylan, who drew his sword with him, threw two daggers into the necks of the members and randomly stirred the unbalanced exploration team.
A very brief gap created by the two. And while Irina was wasting time, Lennok had prepared the most powerful move.
Was it the first time you showed it to the mercenaries of Antares?
Now, that’s irrelevant.
With a strong will, he slammed his mana into the air.
zone activation.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!
At the same time, waves of achromatic color spreading in all directions like ripples.
It doesn’t end with one ringing, it rings two or three times, constantly shaking the space.
In the end, this whole area is squeezed into Lennok’s hands.
A sense of exhilaration as if the magical energy that exists in all spaces that the senses touch comes into one hand.
Twisted the amplified magic manipulation ability from the inside of the realm to the limit.
It is felt.
The limits of one’s own abilities. The sound of Lennok’s talent shattering that line and tearing it all down.
[Master Ma.]
There was no time to listen to the embarrassed Darby.
It borrows her ability naturally as if it were just passing by.
Strong artificial intelligence and Gosran’s powerful calculation ability and hacking ability that can directly interfere with electronic equipment.
I grabbed that will and kneaded it at will, turning it into a wave.
Manipulate the range of possible interference and apply it to reality as it is.
What they want is an interpretation of the magical power contained in the artifact and runaway.
Fain!
At the same time as I wished, a very faint dark green wave swept around.
At the same time, the artifacts in the members’ hands began to overheat.
Pajijijik!!!
“Oh what!!”
“no!!”
“Everyone get away from him!! This..!!”
Those who confirmed the backward flow of magical energy bouncing from the artifact in their hands changed their complexion belatedly, but it was already too late.
