Prescription (1)
“I was thinking of dealing with the cartel executive I met the other day like this. It just made things difficult because the boss level appeared out of nowhere and intervened.”
At the point of completely subduing Iola with the Mystic Eye, Lennok had no intention of killing her in the first place.
I don’t think it’s bad to kill him on the spot to relieve his anger, but I thought it would be more efficient in the current situation to capture him alive and blow up information.
However, unlike this time, the fact that Virgil intervened and put the situation to rest was the reason that Lennok finally brought up the pure land statement.
“In that sense, it’s pretty lucky that a senior executive like this is working alone. In the worst case, I was even thinking of blocking the roads and dealing with armed forces….”
Belita clicked her tongue at Lennox’s plaintive words.
“Girard Ozette is a slayer who specializes in solo actions among the cartel’s top executives. As you’ve seen it, you know, but because of its unique appearance and bizarre personality, it gets into a lot of accidents here and there, but there’s no doubt about its skills.”
“In the mercenary industry, he is well known as a madman who has to avoid enemies in an operation. Although his outside activities have decreased since he was appointed as the cartel’s general manager, he is not an opponent who can easily make loopholes like this.”
“hmm….”
Their speech was calm, but mixed with an expression of admiration that could not be hidden.
And since most of the admiration was for Lennok’s powers of divination, Lennok nodded in satisfaction.
‘With this level of performance, I’m sure it will work for a higher level opponent.’
I’ve tried activating it a few times in the meantime, but it’s the first time I’ve used it in real combat, so I’m more satisfied.
It was a plan that was prepared as a reserve while destroying the cartel’s cooperative businesses, but there was no chance to use it in the meantime.
That must have been possible because Girard was the first cartel executive who had pursued Lennok so tenaciously.
In addition, it was possible because he had a bizarre ability and taste enough to prefer solo action even though he was a member of the manager level.
If you tried to subdue Girard by defeating it properly, you would have had to spend dozens of times more time and resources than this, but the Pure Land God’s Declaration is a powerful spell that freezes a specific space and restrains the target as soon as it is activated.
There was no doubt about its power as it was an item that Madrea Falseer, the Thousand Dog, had been using until right before she became an Ascendant.
It seems that Girard has been strengthening his power by doping his physical abilities the more he bleeds through the change in the nature of the magic within his body, but there is nothing he can do within the magic tool that blocks resistance in space.
Lennok observed Girard carefully and silently stroked his chin.
‘It’s the first time I’ve tried to arrest such a talented person directly with a spatial law tool. I have to keep in mind the related phenomena and the flow of magic.’
Considering that it takes about 10 seconds to activate the Pure Land Divinity Statement, no matter how fast it is, it may not be easy to find a case in which the opponent is completely defeated.
Things like now were only possible because, like Velver, he had prepared a plan and power to thoroughly crush the enemy with force, and had the artifact preheated.
Somehow, instead of the time-based spells or artifacts that Lennok desperately wanted, space-type artifacts or artifacts were coming into his hands, but Lennok did not neglect to study space-type spells.
Although they are classified into completely different series, in the end, space and time are intertwined in one axis and are two axes that compose the world.
If you understand one, you might reach out to the other.
“half. So what are you going to do? I think I’d better kill him cleanly while he can’t resist.”
“Personally, I recommend starting by putting Girard’s belongings up for auction. There are quite a few people who have a grudge against him, so even if you take off one of his limbs and sell it, you should be able to get a pretty decent price.”
Lennok made his decision as Belita kicked Belver in the shin for talking nonchalantly about what a gang or criminal organization would say.
“Although Belver’s proposal looks interesting, we aim to interrogate him by locking him up in a suitable place.”
Lennok grabbed Girard’s hair and pulled it up.
Her eyes, which were frozen in a daze, didn’t move at all.
“If you’re a high-ranking executive worthy of belonging to the cartel’s management agent, you must know a lot.”
“I’m not going to open my mouth that easily.”
Belita said with a worried expression.
“Considering that he gets stronger when he bleeds and gets hurt, even physical torture won’t work.”
Certainly, it would be difficult to tie him up properly once the Pure Land Shinto was stripped away.
“Don’t worry about that.”
But Lennok grinned as he pressed Girard’s head to the ground.
“Because I have a good understanding of torturing magic users.”

Whoop Whoop!!
Sweat dripped from Virgil’s upper body as he bent his arms and pressed himself to the ground.
Although the thick chains tied around his body limited the range of motion of his muscles and put an enormous burden on him, Virgil continued to exercise in silence.
Three system windows floated above his head as he worked hard on his workout with his head down.
[1: SOUND ONLY]
[3: SOUND ONLY]
[4: SOUND ONLY]
[4: Virgil. You must have heard the story?]
“….”
[4: Girard was captured alive by a wizard named Van. This is a much bigger problem than the death of that psychopath at his hands.]
“…so?”
[3: Hey, what’s wrong with your answer?]
Displeased voices rang out one after another.
[3: I heard that Virgil was the one who decided to organize this project. Then you shouldn’t be doing the fucking thing properly. Now, the number of businesses that have been destroyed on our side is slowly going over five, so are you going to leave it like this?]
“If you guys want to solve it, do whatever you want.”
[3: What are you bastard?]
Despite the high-pitched bickering, Virgil answered silently, paying attention to the stimulation of his muscles.
“I am in charge of this job because I needed someone in charge until the report went up to the president. I told the president the whole story, but I have no intention of using my hands in this matter myself.”
[1: What does that mean?]
The first time No. 1 opened his mouth, Virgil lifted his head slightly and smiled.
“Chairman completely forgot about Zenith until I personally posted the report. But apparently it was our side who touched it first. Does that mean that out of the three of you, there is one of you who started fighting over there first?”
[…] … .]
“I don’t know if it’s one or two, but probably not all three. Finish what you started on your own. It’s really embarrassing to have to say this with my own mouth. Do you really think you can sneak away from responsibility now?”
It is not yet known who destroyed Janice’s bar, but if you check which side the cartel members who participated in the operation are on, the conclusion will come soon.
After the night he confronted Ban directly to save Iola, Virgil had long since given up the thought of confronting Ban directly.
“A wizard named Ban. be strong At least he is a much more dangerous man than you think.”
[4: Anyway, just a freelancer….]
“I don’t know about Zenith and the others, but it would be difficult to easily catch and kill a wizard of that level. After putting in an indelible grudge once, you won’t be able to catch him, and the same thing will happen again, and it will become clear where the damage will be reflected in the performance evaluation.”
This time everyone else kept their mouths shut.
In the end, the problem stems from the simple fact that the cartel has much more to lose.
The number of digits of damage that Van alone can inflict on this side is different from the damage that the cartel side can inflict on the other side.
Even knowing that it was Lennok’s intention to imprint this point of view on the cartel and make them hesitate to act, they have no choice but to accept it.
“I would rather have picked the wrong time to get my hands on it, unless it’s the point where their business is in earnest and expanding. I don’t know whose fault it was, but I have to pay the price.”
[3: Let’s see this x.]
The voice became sharp.
[3: You just put your name on it, and if the one among us who made a mistake solves it, you’re going to get a plausible cause?]
[1: Merylda. Stop it.]
With the sound of a heavy voice, the harsh swearing stopped abruptly.
The words continued on the monitor labeled No. 1.
[1: Virgil I know what you mean. First of all, Girard was nominally the agent of the business I was managing, so I’ll take care of it first.]
“….”
[1: But this is ridiculous as it is. How many years has it been since we couldn’t come to a consensus? … There, obviously, your provocative behavior is also responsible.]
“I admit it.”
[1: If things don’t go well, you don’t know, but the executives in your line will have to be prepared for responsibility. The child you care about, Iola, shouldn’t be let go either. Ah, did I mention that I haven’t recovered properly yet?]
Virgil’s eyes shone sharply as he lowered his head, but no one noticed his gaze.
It wasn’t until long after the meeting was over that Virgil stood up, his sweat-drenched body.
As if tossing a thick chain on one side of the exercise equipment that was full around him, he muttered as he wrapped himself in a towel.
“I don’t think it was a coincidence that I touched Janice at this point… … .”
Even if it seems like a mistake at first glance, everything that is happening now is exquisitely happening in the direction of forcing Ban and Jenny to gain an appropriate justification and unilateral gain.
To be precise, in the direction of steadily and surely undercutting the cartel’s power.
No matter how grandiose a mistake may be, if the damage is accumulated so elaborately, it cannot be said to be a coincidence.
“Someone has turned their back on the President.”
There was a traitor within.
Fluctuations in the internal order of organizations that have never changed in decades.
From Virgil’s point of view, it was far more important than the existence of a wizard called Van who resisted the cartel.
* * *
[Did Jenny not come?]
“…Because the situation is not good. He begged my pardon.”
Jenny and Jordon became more cautious about their official behavior as Lennok started to destroy the cartel’s businesses in earnest.
In particular, after Jordan was kidnapped and nearly killed, the two had no choice but to refrain from any action that could weaken the escort of the mercenaries, including Dray.
Jenny would have been willing to accompany Lennok on such a thing, but Lennok didn’t bother to do that.
[okay. that’s a bit disappointing I wanted to see your face before the end.]
Lennok smiled faintly at Yakseon’s words.
“You will never forget her face. Even if it’s because of Kaise’s memories, you’ll remember her.”
[I know.]
Yakseon stared up at Lennok and said in a full tone.
[However, you will completely forget the fact that she, who grew up as Kaise’s blood and lived as if she died, changed little by little after meeting you.] “
….”
[Memories are records of time… … To forget is to eventually lose the entire time. My time has stopped since a very long time ago.]
Yakseon smiled at Lennok’s bitter face.
[Well, it’s nothing for you to worry about. The mere fact that you made Dominic Cavaro unrecoverable was enough of a miracle for me in this not-so-short life.
Wouldn’t it be greed to wish for more?
Did she let go of the countless patients who communicated with her in this way?
In the bondage created by her own foolishness, her time never moves and is only tied to the past.
It was started to raise the level of medical science, but it just disappears like a bubble when the patient is sent away without any experience or memory of every moment.
That’s why Lennok should be alert rather than sympathetic to her.
The fact that even geniuses who move to an absurdly distant place can collapse in vain without seeing the feet right in front of them.
The trajectory of an old man’s life was shining so lonely.
[This is the last piece the foolish old lady made before forgetting all the money.]
Saying that, Yakseon pushed a long neck armor in front of Lennok.
