Light and shadow (2)
I guessed to some extent the moment I realized that Lee Bonga’s agent did not belong to the church.
If an outsider like Walter was to be treated well by the high-ranking officials of the citadel, the role of agent of the 8th family would have been the most appropriate after all.
Aside from holding hands with Lee Bon-ga-joo, it would have been the best cause to appear in public.
“There are a lot of really talented sorcerers in the big city. envious.”
Walter laughed.
“I met an elementalist not too long ago, and I was surprised at how good his skills were. After all, I felt that the world was wide.”
“….”
“Stepping into this city was always part of a great cause, but now I feel very fortunate.”
Even though the flag has already been raised, Walter only smiles at Lennok instead of running towards him.
He didn’t feel any kind of life or desire.
“If you don’t intend to fight, you’d better take off your bracelet and go down.”
said Lennok.
“Are you going to keep talking?”
“You are quick-witted. you’re right.”
Despite the careless remark, Walter nodded obediently.
“Actually, I didn’t think the proxy war would flow in such a tense way.”
“….”
“I was thinking of putting the other families up as spectators and using a member to quickly end the ritual of the proxy war…. The wind that an outsider rallied the families to fight for cause made things strange.”
It was obvious what Walter meant. The fact that the situation has flowed so far is a result that was not expected.
Originally, they would have had to win a formal proxy war against Paldun and Samyeong Oryun, who were not properly united, and immediately get the position of borrower.
It is only up to Lennok to create a new game by manipulating and wielding families with different purposes and motives.
All the procedures of justification, qualifications, and proof of power were overturned before the checks of other families came in, and the game was overturned.
If he hadn’t overturned the inferiority of the 3-to-1 proxy war by himself and brought it to the big battle, Walter wouldn’t even have to step forward.
“That’s why I didn’t pay much attention to the history of each family’s agents, but I didn’t know that it would bring about this kind of anger.”
Walter smiled bitterly and nodded.
“It’s my patch. That is why I would like to offer you a deal.”
“It’s a deal….”
It’s amazing. I never thought I’d come to this point and instead of showing my true colors, I’d try to appease you.
It was probably because there was an internal judgment that the things originally planned for Lennok would be difficult to go through.
“When I went here and there to donate money, I found out that he was already working as a famous freelancer outside.”
While Lennok was lost in thought, Walter quickly got to the point.
“Among them, I heard rumors that you are asking for clues about time series artifacts or spells as compensation for nomination requests. Perhaps that is the purpose of entering this fort?”
He held out his hand with a generous smile, as if he knew exactly what Lennok wanted.
“If you cooperate with us, as an agent of Ilwon Family, we will specifically hand over the items to be bid before the auction house opens. Among the dogs, there are even a few artifacts of the time series that you want.”
“….”
“How is it. Wouldn’t it be enough to give up the immediate battle?”
“well….”
Instead of seriously pondering Walter’s proposal, Lennok pondered the implications of the situation.
It was because I realized that Walter’s response itself was a landscape of privilege brought about by one-sided information superiority.
If he had known that Lennok was the same person as Evan, if he had known that he already knew all the information about the ruins, would Walter have been as eager to appease Lennok as he is now?
Since the two identities were perfectly distinguished and a thorough alibi had been established, even the bishop of the church was throwing a futile blank check without noticing the sense of incongruity.
The absurd promises that you don’t even intend to keep.
The answer was fixed from the beginning.
“The unit price doesn’t match much.”
Lennok laughed.
“I don’t have enough faith to accept that offer.”
Pagging support… … !!
The blue lightning that rose from Lennok’s feet struck Walter as it was.
Kwaaaaang!!
The earth’s axis shook in an instant from the bombardment of lightning that bounced off the ground, and dust rose everywhere.
The audience, who thought that the final proxy war had begun, roared with wild cheers and the expressions of the other family heads changed drastically.
Lennok paid no attention to such reactions and focused on the opponent in front of him.
A ghastly voice came from the dust that spread like fog.
“You knew from the start that I belonged to the Order, right?”
“….”
“To play with me…. Hehe, it seems that Samyoung’s ability was more than expected. what good.”
Walter’s arm, which had stepped out of the center of the explosion, swayed weakly.
He didn’t seem to be able to properly block Lennok’s first shot, but there was no trace of pain on his face.
He put his fingers inside the bracelet on his wobbly wrist and said with force.
“Because things don’t always go the way you want them to.”
Charreureuk!!
At the same time as the chain bracelet is shattered, the light from Walter’s bracelet is transmitted to Lennok’s bracelet, and the eight chain rings shine brightly.
It was clear evidence that Lennok had the right to name all the families in his hands only after the ceremony of proxy war was over.
But even before Lennok moved to appoint Oren as Chaeju, Walter moved first.
Pale light began to emanate from the outskirts of the huge manor that housed thousands of the inhabitants of the citadel.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaa!!
The brilliance that covered the whole huge manor covered the sky with a huge hemispherical barrier.
At the top of the barrier, a disparate crack appeared as if it had been cut and pasted with scissors.
Wow!!!
Suddenly, the cracks drawn in the sky slowly opened and at the same time began to greedily suck something from the bodies of the spectators in the manor.
As if the souls were escaping, whitish forms were expelled from people’s bodies and escaped to the top of the barrier.
The audience, who witnessed the unknown energy escaping from their bodies, fell into confusion at once, and the manor turned into a mess in an instant.
“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!”
“Save me!! what’s this!!”
It is unbelievably large and full-scale for a ceremony that began in the blink of an eye.
A crack opened in the sky. And a pale glow that spreads with the momentum to suck the lives of thousands of people.
The large-scale space teleportation technique ‘Amrita’s Balance’ that Walter tried at Rabatenon University.
Offerings are made in exchange for a certain amount of lives, and in return, the same number of lives is transferred.
The range of capture of the magic formula was this huge manor. It is enough to feed thousands of people at once.
Even if efficiency is raised at the cost of human life, on this scale, it would be absolutely impossible without preparation in advance.
From the very beginning, Yvonne Family and Walter had planned to annihilate all the residents of the fortress if things did not go according to plan and fill the place with members of the Guido Order.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t want to see a lot of blood like this… … .”
With his back to the pale pillar of light, Walter laughed.
“If you hadn’t turned down my offer, this disaster wouldn’t have happened. It’s all because of you.”
“As long as I can get the creditor’s authority, it doesn’t matter if the fortress continues or not.”
asked Lennok, ignoring Walter’s words neatly.
“Is the site still important to the Church?”
“…If you know that far, I don’t need to say anything more.”
Walter nodded meekly.
“It’s not just a tourist destination with amazing scenery. The traces of being separated from the timeline of this world are unmistakably the remains of the old world… … . It is like a ‘crack’ in the world that is hard to find under this closed sky.”
“….”
“In this world where even communication with the gods has become difficult, a communication channel with the outside world is extremely rare… … . Do you know what that means?”
“no.”
Lennok replied plaintively.
“I’ll crush you right here and listen to it slowly.”
At that moment, a black shadow rises from the corner of the manor where the two were facing each other.
Whoaaaaa!!
The remnants of the shadow arts secretly spread all over the manor, even with Asui as the vanguard.
The traces rise all at once as if they had promised, and spread all over the manor in an instant.
The place where the thick black shadow fragments are headed is the junction connecting the columns of pale light that extend from all directions.
As if they knew about this technique, instead of blocking the light from the front, they set up a black curtain and deflected it obliquely, distorting the flow of the barrier.
The cracks that slowly opened their mouths in the sky closed and even the flow that sucked people’s lives began to cut off.
“…!!!!”
The smile disappears from Walter’s face for the first time, but the arrangements Lennok and Oren have prepared do not end there.
Woooooooooo!!
The walls surrounding the manor’s auditorium collapsed, revealing the stairs leading out of the manor.
It is not something that originally existed.
An emergency passage created by physically shaping the shadow.
However, it was not a fact that was of great importance to the residents of the fortress, who were losing their vitality right away.
“I bought and lived…!!”
“Run quickly!!”
“The family heads will somehow prevent this situation!!”
Walter’s face twisted at the sight of the residents of the citadel running away from the manor in an instant.
“This….!!”
A shadow burst out as soon as the conversation between the two ended.
It is clear who the culprit behind this incident is.
Walter’s eyes quickly scanned all over the place.
There are two places where the mana that manipulates the shadows flows strongly.
A skinny young man behind the stage.
And the head of the family, Samyoung, who was at the head of the eight families.
The two shadow magicians were concentrating on each other and manipulating the shadows to evacuate the people inside the manor.
“Do not disturb!!!”
Walter screamed and ran to the back of the stage, but an intense shockwave emanated from behind him, sending his body high into the sky.
woooooong!!
“…!!!”
He had to avoid damage to the extent that he could not move his body even if he had to endure the loss of his arm.
Walter’s face changed strangely as he looked up at the sky, clutching his tattered shoulders.
“The spirit absorption barrier created by transforming the interpretation principle of the 12 types of parishes is so easy….”
“….”
“It looks like there is someone on the Samyeong side who has been in contact with us. There is no way you can only suppress the occurrence of cracks so accurately without understanding the operating principle of the formula… … .”
Walter murmured, not even dreaming that the culprit was in front of him.
The way Walter was incubated at Rabatenon University. At the same time, even the large-scale space movement technique that tried to open it at the cost of the lives of the dormitory students.
Lennok, who saw through the activation of the spell and destroyed it, guessed that Walter would do the same thing to the residents of the fort.
The series of disturbances at the Rabatenon Magic College were probably no different than a demonstration to do something similar inside the fortress.
Although it would be difficult for them to cancel the spell right after they activated it, it was enough to disrupt the barrier’s operation and weaken its effectiveness.
The two shadow magicians, Oren and Asui, had the ability to perfectly fulfill Lennok’s instructions.
“If you think you’re the only one hiding a plot, you’re mistaken.”
Lennok laughed as he looked up at Walter’s figure floating in the air.
Whoa… … !!
At the same time as he raised his mana, the bracelet on his right arm was shattered and the ground in the area began to be heavily crushed.
“Until the surroundings are quiet, you should play with me.”
* * *
A plan that should have been carried out perfectly regardless of whether the proxy war was won or lost.
Lee Bon-ga-joo trembled when she noticed that there was a crack in the board she had designed despite risking collaborating with the Guido Church.
“dare…!!”
Needless to say, who is the owner of the shadow that covers the inside of the barrier and hinders the exercise of skills?
Lee Bongaju’s ferocious gaze quickly turned to the side.
The figure of Oren leaning on a chair with his eyes closed.
I thought it was simply part of a bluff to look like I had no great interest in proxy warfare, but did I just prepare for this from the beginning… … !!
Only then, realizing that Oren had already discovered their plan and the existence of the church, Yvon Family wielded her hand with a face filled with anger.
Aaaaaaang!!
In an instant, the seat Oren was sitting on was swept away and a huge explosion occurred.
The other family heads jumped up from their seats with embarrassed faces.
“Lebon family!!”
“What are you doing!!”
“No matter how different factions they are dealing with, this is… … !!”
In the case of the four military commanders Chilhyeon and Paldun, even if the enemy is located elsewhere, they share the perception that they are members of the same fortress.
Wasn’t the form of proxy war itself a system created to avoid a bone-and-strife between the direct blood relatives of the 8 families in the first place?
In this situation, to suddenly lay hands on another head of household is nothing more than an instant abandonment of the cause of the proxy war that has been built up until now.
Lee Bongaju screamed with a ferocious face.
“Kill the Samyeong family right now!!”
