Proxy War (4)
The audience opened their mouths at the futile ending, which was different from the previous battle in which they risked their lives.
The next runner up was Mad Manson, a freelancer whose head was made of a robot head.
The head of the six spirits glared at him as if he were going to kill him, but what is the meaning of it since he has already left his hands?
However, contrary to that, the expectations of the residents of the fortress grew infinitely higher.
No matter how dark the outside news is, brief personal information about agents is bound to spread.
This is because they are aware that both a mercenary named Adam Brobeck and a freelancer named Mad Manson are talented people living in the shadows of a megalopolis.
Even these two people are not from the fortress, so there should be no problem if you watch and cheer freely.
“I will fight properly this time.”
“I want you to show me how to fight outside the castle!!”
“If they fight for money, they won’t betray us!!”
But it didn’t take long for those expectations and cheers to disappear.
Manson, who had drawn his sword and seemed to be knocking several times, raised both hands after running away for about 10 minutes.
[Surrender.]
Between the heavy robot heads, sparkling green eyes shone brightly.
Woo woo woo woo woo woo!!!
Thousands of people booed throughout the manor.
Lee Bongaju’s face, looking down at the scene, was sternly crumpled.
“…That’s not good.”
“yes?”
Hearing her murmur, the boy sitting next to him raised his head and looked up at Yvon.
“I can’t come out here unless I have something to think about.”
Lee Bongaju muttered nervously while biting her nails.
“We should hold onto the audience until the ceremony is over….”
“….”
“The guards currently deployed may not be enough. At worst-”
“That’s a pretty interesting story.”
Oren, who had been quietly closing his eyes, spoke.
“The ritual of proxy war itself would have nothing to do with people.”
“…I don’t know what you mean.”
“I was wondering if you now have a new reason to care whether the villagers exist or not.”
Oren muttered as he slightly opened his eyes and met Yvon’s direct gaze.
“Like I was too engrossed in a strange belief….”
“….”
Bongaju Lee’s face hardened.
Oren said casually, turning around, but it wasn’t hard to notice the intention behind his words.
At the same time, they realize that each other holds a fragment of truth.
Blood vessels faintly swelled in Yvon’s forearm as he gripped the armrest of the chair.
The other family heads watched from the sidelines and couldn’t breathe.
However, Lee Bongaju endured Oren’s provocation with superhuman endurance and smiled.
“Looking at it now, it seems that Samyoung is misunderstanding something. We have not had many opportunities to be with the residents, but we are doing our best to help people anytime.”
“A misunderstanding?”
“Yes. Didn’t Iwon and Samyoung faithfully take care of the public sentiment of the citadel, while our Yibon silently supported the citadel’s foundation?”
“….”
“That’s why this time, the members are just making concessions to us.”
As she said that, she gently stroked the head of the head of the head of the seated next to him.
“Isn’t that right?”
“…you’re right.”
The boy slowly raised his head and met Oren’s gaze.
There was not a single hint of delusion mixed in the clear will that emerged in those eyes.
“Although I received the help of the family head Lee, this work was carried out on my own will. There is no reason for the head of the family to be concerned.”
member of the family. We know that Chae-ju’s son, who died, has chosen everything that has happened so far purely of his own will.
Oren knew that too, so he hadn’t reached out to him hastily until now.
Even though Oh-Ren couldn’t figure out what price the head of the Yibon family had put up to reach out to the head of the Ilwon family, so he had been watching the situation for a long time.
He knew it now that he had obtained information about the Church through Lennox.
“Teo. Growing old and dying are two very different things.”
Oren said.
“The opposite is also true. Isn’t it obvious that acquiring youth and raising the dead are two different things?”
“…!!!”
Only a faint pity remained in Oren’s eyes as he looked at Tae-oh, Irwon-ga-joo.
“How much more is there any meaning to an illusion created by consuming other people’s blood and flesh?”
“….”
“Even now it is not too late. It’s okay if you take the position of the borrower. But it’s enough for me as long as you admit that everything you’re doing is wrong.”
“I don’t know.”
Taeo gritted his teeth and looked away.
“The proxy war is almost over, and the debtor will come into my hands through a due process. There is nothing the godfather can give me.”
“…okay. If you are, then so be it.”
Oren replied calmly and turned his gaze to the manor.
“But the proxy war is not over yet.”
On the stage waiting for Plato’s mercenary, the agent of the Chilhyeon.
A sharp-looking young man in a coat was slowly walking up the stairs.
“Let’s wait until the end to see who will be standing last.”
* * *
‘As I thought.’
Ilwon and Yvonne. Conversation between the three young households. Lennok, who had been overhearing the entire conversation, nodded softly.
If the purpose of cooperating with Yvon is the resurrection of the dead, then the target must be the dead Chae-joo.
Taking advantage of the agitation of the family heads, Oren succeeded in telling Lennok the fragments of the truth by catching the gap in the exquisite conversation.
‘Because he is the son of the former chaeju… … .’
There is no need to explain how resurrecting the dead is against the laws of the world and is an impossible miracle.
A rebellion that goes directly against the already existing cycle of life, not just to bend or rewrite the laws.
However, if Lee Bongaju seduced Ilwongaju with the youth he regained as bait, it would be understandable enough.
As a member of the Three Heads and the leader of the 8 families, Tae-o, who sits in the seat of Ilwon Family, must have well understood the value of time that the old people of the city council want.
If you can make that kind of miracle, you don’t want to care at the expense of other people.
Even if it is the lives of the residents of Bagoong Fortress.
‘I understand the purpose of the family heads. Then what about the church?’
Ilwon family head who wishes for his father’s revival. Yvonne family who wants to get her youth.
It seems clear that the two are hoping to benefit from the immortality research that the Guido Church conducted on Dylan O’Casey.
But then what does Walter really want?
After obtaining the authority of the chaeju and canceling the barrier of the historic site.
What does the church want to do by using the space-time that is the trace of the old world and is separated from this world?
“….”
I remember the appearance of the monster that Walter called at Rabatenon University by sacrificing his incarnated body.
If it wasn’t for the monster body he showed at that time, it was simply a desperate attempt to get out of the spot.
Perhaps, what if Walter’s ‘mission’ truly meant such an act of incarnation?
If it was a part to summon beings who transcended the timeline of the world using the space-time of the old world as a catalyst-
Ohhhh!!
Lennok thought that far and returned his gaze to reality.
Because the opponent he had to fight right now was standing in front of him.
And didn’t all the plans that Lennok and Oren put forward on the premise of taking the position of the borrower from this side?
The audience, who had already cooled down at the appearance of the 7th-level Aspect Wizard, turned their heads and focused their attention.
It was enough time for even the residents of the fortress to know who he was, no matter how dark the outside news was.
“Are you a wizard again?”
“You don’t mean to abstain like that bastard, do you?”
“If you’re the captain, show me something!!”
Despite the strong response from the residents of the fortress, the eyes of the two on stage do not waver.
The one who opened his mouth first was a slender physique of a swordsman. It was Adam Brobeck.
He smiled as he looked up at the audience who were forcing themselves to scream.
“It is an interesting landscape. Isn’t it?”
“….”
“There are a lot of crazy things while working as a mercenary, but there is a reason why I can’t quit easily. If it weren’t for this kind of job, where would I go and have this unique experience?”
“It’s a positive mindset.”
Profit-
Lennok replied as he lit the fire at the beginning of the year.
“How are Nicole and Maoren doing?”
“huh?”
Adam murmured slightly surprised at Lennok’s words.
“Amazing. Do you still remember the two of them?”
“I’m not the type to forget people easily.”
Collaboration with agents. At the time of dealing with the warlock and the terrorist organization Falchion, I remember that the members of Plato who were on the board were Nicol and Maoren.
It wasn’t a long meeting, but Nicole’s attitude of highly valuing Lennok, who was an unknown freelancer at the time, remains in my memory.
Considering that Maoren treated Nicole with great respect, Nicole must also hold a high-ranking position in the mercenary corps.
It’s not hard to guess that he might be familiar with Adam.
At Lennox’s plain reply, Adam smiled awkwardly.
“Hehe Actually, I also heard about you from Nicole.”
Clap!
As Adam lightly flicked the elbows on both arms, the gauntlet in his hand swelled greatly.
A gauntlet that thickly wrapped around both forearms and turned into heavy gloves as if they had become a single piece of armor.
The guru, holding the two-pronged steel in his hand, continued as he slowly adjusted his posture.
“Didn’t I tell you never to meet me as an enemy? But when you hear those words, you rather want to fight.”
“is it?”
“okay. So after the pension was released, I was aiming for an opportunity in moderation. I hope we will meet soon… … .”
Adam licked his dry lips and laughed.
“I am lucky too.”
“He’s a funny guy. Guys like you aren’t common.”
Lennox laughed too.
This city, which seems to have been built on madness and chaos, is in fact maintained with quite precise and complex calculations and reasoning.
In this place full of this guy and that guy and his schemes, there were few people who were as innocent as Adam and burning his desire to win against a formidable enemy.
“Looking at it, it doesn’t seem to have much to do with the current game.”
Lennok replied plaintively.
“Then I’ll spare your life.”
“Oh, the eyes that look down on me. very good.”
Adam also grinned as he hopped lightly in place.
“I’ll see if I have the right to say that. Thanks to the little ones over there who abstained, this side has more energy too!!!”
Paaang!!
As soon as he finished speaking, Adam pushed himself up as he had lowered his posture.
The deeply bent knees bounced up like springs, and the slender model rushed forward.
In an instant, Adam landed next to Lennok, lowered his right shoulder deeply, and raised his mana.
Woooooooooo!!
An uppercut that is raised as if being shot from close range.
At the same time as he swung his arm, a huge air current rose from the ground like an explosion and swept Lennok away.
Whoa!!
The audience erupted in enthusiastic cheers at the intense first performance.
“Ooooh!!”
“Can we see a proper fight now!”
Leaving behind the cheers that filled the manor, Adam immediately squeezed himself through the dust he had raised.
Instantly break through the thick dust, catch the magician’s presence, and run.
He wielded the magical power he had struck into the gauntlet.
keying!!
[Stonia Boxing Technique]
[Full 4-step combo]
Doo-doo!!
The gauntlet, which glows with thick magical energy, was fired from the spot like a machine gun, pounding heavily on Lennok’s body.
The power contained in the successive blows was so strong that the wind pressure alone pushed away the dust in the area, revealing the new faces of the two in an instant.
Whoa!!
He turned his elbow wide and bent his right fist, which was blocked by Lennok’s shield.
The gauntlet, which broke through several layers of intangible defenses, stopped right in front of the wizard.
“Aaaaaaaaaaaaa!!”
As Adam let out a powerful shout and twisted the gauntlet with all his might, even the remaining shield was neatly shattered and in an instant struck the place where the wizard was.
[Two-step spinning winding]
Woojijik!!
“…!!”
At the same time as Lennok, who wriggled his forehead, stepped back, the gauntlet hit the floor and overturned the nearby ground.
Aaaaaaa!!
Adam smiled confidently as he watched the waves pouring out of the dirt pile.
“Contrary to fame, the response is too passive. Why don’t you try your best bro!!”
“….”
When Lennok didn’t answer, once again Adam ran across the ground that collapsed first.
Adam, who fixed the thick gauntlets equipped on both hands, swung his two fists in succession without hesitation.
Koo Goo Goo Goo!!
As he swings his fist, the sound of engines echoes like a huge truck passing by.
Unlike general swordsmen who are relatively fast and light on the offensive, Adam’s two fists are slow but heavy, and even feel intense pressure.
That’s probably due to the presence of thick gauntlets covering both of his forearms.
Aside from being simply heavy and occupying an area, the air around the gauntlet rotates, creating even a faint attraction.
It was not enough to choose a style that was different from others, but it was also a result of succeeding in completely specializing the method of applying magic.
There is no way to know if the method of focusing on power rather than speed while following the fighting method of the gwonsa was wrong.
Only the time he has lived and the blood on his gauntlet proves the rightness or wrongness of his method.
“Hahahahaha!!! If you don’t want to be disqualified, you’d better decide quickly!!”
Although the offensive was so intense that it seemed somewhat reckless, Adam had his own calculations.
The confrontation between the executioner of Sagun and the shadow magician of Samyeong, which was the first match in the proxy war.
Adam clearly remembered the scene where the shadow magician, who had been pushing the executioner to the end, was disqualified without being able to control his magical power.
Considering that the magician’s magical flow was never higher than the 7th level, the magical power that this chain link could accept was quite narrow.
It is a rule that is infinitely unfavorable to Ban, who is a wizard in many ways, rather than himself, who is a guru.
No matter how talented a mage he was, he couldn’t have guessed the magic power limit of the bracelet by just looking at the previous few battles.
The opponent is a magician who has already reached a level different from Adam, but if both have similar handicaps, there is a chance of winning.
No matter how strong a magician is, if he suppresses the flow of magic power and leads it thoroughly into close combat, he
will definitely be able to win… … !!”
Woooooooooooooo!!
Right after that, a heavy fist of ice fell from above Adam’s head, releasing a tremendous roar.
“Ughhhh…second.”
A cold chill spreads out along with the giant’s forearm that was pierced like thunder into the manor.
Even the faint heat of the spectators freezes in the coolness that makes the whole body stand up.
“….”
He looked up at the family heads with their mouths wide open and blew out smoke.
Lennok nodded at the moderator, who was staring blankly at this horror.
“next.”
