New branching point (1)
“Like this?”
“no. That’s not it.”
While saying that, Lennok slightly corrected the shape of the raised hand.
“It feels like this.”
After spending a whole day checking Darby’s health as a Samiho and checking his ability and growth.
Lennok visited the head office of the distribution company he and Jenny had been building for the first time in a while.
It is a harmonious space in the courtyard where those who are usually in charge of security for companies such as Drey Krimgal are engaged in sparring and group activities.
About 10 people who had never been able to gather together were squatting and moaning.
It is a strange sight that Dylan and Mila, who came to see Lennok, quietly put their hands together and try to think of something.
“Um….”
Mila, who was lost in thought with her head tilted, said.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about?”
“…I didn’t expect it to work out from the start either.”
Lennox said that and slightly turned his head.
“But wouldn’t it be much better than being like that?”
[Wuwehehehe… … !!]
In the corner where the two of them turned their heads, a woman with a robot’s head was kneeling down and putting her head on the ground.
Oil drips from the machine-made head at the same time as a terrible voice like vomiting leaks out.
[I can’t… … . can never do this… … .]
said Lennok, pointing to Mad Manson, who muttered in a melancholy voice and burrowed into the ground.
“At least, you have a higher chance of success than Manson, who deals purely with psychic powers. Be confident.”
“…Can’t we just not do it… … ?”
What does it mean for Mad Manson, who has been working as a freelancer in the shadows for a long time, to roll on the floor, unable to bear the pain that is transmitted during training?
Wouldn’t the technology that Lennok was trying to convey right now be just as dangerous or painful?
But Lennok shook his head resolutely at Mila.
“It must have been the one who rushed to tell me about magic. I can’t give up here. go again.”
“profit…!!”
As Mila braces her hands and focuses her mind, Lennok transfers his magical energy to her fingertips.
At the same time, the faint light that rose from her hand rotated in concentric circles.
Biting heads and tails, they slowly began to connect.
“Ooooh!!”
That moment when Mila’s expression brightened at a completely different scene from before, and the others who had been sitting next to her, looked away.
Mila lowered her head and began to vomit the contents.
“Gweeeeeek!!”
“I thought so.”
“A mercenary with nothing but a drink on his head is like that.”
“If that woman had succeeded first, I would have given up without any regrets.”
Dylan, who had been crouching down next to him and clasped his hands together, let out a grotesque laugh through his mask.
“Khehehe! You can’t do anything either, Mila!”
“shut up…!! Wow, what kind of hair is this… … !!”
A strange feeling stronger than most hangovers. My stomach is turned over by the strange sensation of playing separately with my head shattered.
Even though she was still lying on the ground, Mila stumbled and collapsed with the feeling that her head was spinning.
Lennok looked down at Mila and clicked his tongue.
“Is this test subject also a failure…. next.”
“Half over there? We’re all gathered here to learn magic, right?”
Wei An asked, standing in front of Lennok with a slightly trembling voice.
His complexion was pale, as if he had already been vomited once.
Lennox let out a small sigh and nodded.
“I must have explained it several times. In the meantime, I didn’t have enough understanding of magic to be able to teach someone, but now it’s a different story.”
“No, then what the hell is the story of a test subject….”
“I can’t teach you magic perfectly, but I can teach you the basic tips.”
Lennok, who had firmly cut off Wei An’s words, spoke naturally.
“They say there is something you learn by teaching someone. I also hope that this opportunity will be a good opportunity for each other.”
Wei An tilted his head with a puzzled expression as he looked at Lennok, whose tone had changed solemnly before he knew it.
“No, something seems strange….”
“If you still have doubts, I will show you one more time. There will be an example of an experienced assistant. from now on.”
“Half there. I’m a bit ashamed of this… … .”
While grumbling, Evelyn, a bobbed-haired woman, walked out from behind Lennok and put her hands forward.
Evelyn spread her hands out and made a triangle with her thumb and forefinger, and in Evelyn’s hands, a faint green ring was created and rotated.
woo woo woo… … !!
A low noise, as if the car’s engine was running. At the same time, Evelyn’s hair fluttered faintly.
As the others stared blankly at it, Lennok pulled a strand of electricity through Evelyn’s fingers and bounced it.
Fall out!!
The electrodes that were sucked into the ring making a loud noise disappear instead of touching Evelyn’s body.
A bizarre phenomenon, as if another space exists inside the ring.
However, Evelyn slightly frowned and untied her hands and beckoned, and the ring collapsed, and Lennok’s electric shock came out from within and shattered the floor.
bang!!
The well-laid cement on the floor was smashed and a large pit was made.
Lennok turned his head.
“Did you see it?”
“no….”
“That’s possible because it’s just the Hyeongung.”
“In the first place, don’t ask me for that level of mana control.”
“….”
Evelyn patted Lennok, who was speechless, on the shoulder.
“How about giving up soon?”
“Hmm, I expected it wouldn’t be easy, but….”
“Actually, I wouldn’t have been able to follow it if it hadn’t been for you pointing out the tips from the beginning. To be honest, I still don’t know what the principle is.”
Evelyn shrugged her shoulders and smiled shyly.
“If they had a talent for magic in the first place, they would have learned it long ago. Me too.”
People whom Lennok had known from the moment he set foot in this city, and who had saved each other’s lives at least three times.
Lennok’s idea of teaching magic was not incomprehensible, but Evelyn thought the odds of success were low.
Because achieving outstanding achievements and creating a great magic system were close to completely different talents.
Even the most powerful ascendant in history, ‘Bangung (叛穹)’, hadn’t the magic system left to posterity lost without any transmission?
The more complex and sophisticated the power to deal with, the more difficult it is to pass it on to future generations.
It was also an innate talent, Evelyn thought, to explain what she understood in an easy-to-understand, clear and concise way, leading her to arrive at the truth.
But Lennok shook his head even after hearing Evelyn’s words.
“I don’t think I can finish it in one day, either.”
What Lennok is trying to teach them is not the entire newly completed Ouroboros magic system, but only a small part of it.
Among them, [Tanmi] is the most simple and basic technique for application. To put it bluntly, it was the act of drawing a magic circle itself.
How could he want others to perfectly handle this power he had recently acquired?
“It is enough to memorize the magic array I have taught you and implement it in the right place. That much will be helpful enough during the battle.”
The magic system, Ouroboros, is the result of the longing for perfection created with transcendent cognitive ability and sensitivity.
Of course, it is a permanent organ that no one except Lennok himself can fully master and acquire.
Even so, the reason why he tried to pass on the basics of the magic system he had obtained at the 8th level branch to others is simple.
Because the fact that others can learn and learn even a little bit is the clearest and surest proof that it has been completed as a magic system.
‘It’s not like Milla or Dray who don’t have ties to magic were also gathered.’
The principle of Ouroboros is very unique and strange, unlike any other magic that Lennok has used so far.
Rather, because of that, there was a possibility that even those who had no talent for magic could fit their aptitude.
If it is a very basic principle that constitutes a magic system, it can be used in an emergency by memorizing and mastering it.
“If you can handle it properly, it might be able to save your life once in a while.”
It can be a platform for growth not only for those who are taught, but also for Lenok.
Teaching the magic system itself is an act of transmitting Ouroboros’s terminal to others and making them resonate.
As it was highly likely to be a good opportunity to study the convergence and divergence of imagery and power and improve the magic system, I did not intend to give up easily.
“It’s difficult… … . It took me a full week to memorize and reproduce the magic array you taught me.”
Even Evelyn, who only then understood that Lennok was really thinking about this, was lost in thought.
“That, too, was the result of excluding the time I had to worry about finding a way not to collide with my body’s magic.”
Even with Evelyn’s magic manipulation ability, memorization ability, judgment, and reflexes, it took a week to memorize Lennok’s magic system instead of understanding it.
It seemed far off for others to memorize and succeed in the technique in a faster time than she did.
Lennok shrugged his shoulders as well, not expecting a great harvest right away.
“I hope it will get better with time. Considering the hardships you suffered, maybe the more unfamiliar you are with magic, the better it will work.”
“It is easy to say, but practically impossible. Can you even call that a magic system in the first place?”
“…Because we are giving and receiving help like this to verify it. I plan to give it as homework until I return.”
Lennok said that and slightly turned his tail.
Calling Evelyn to this place today was not just to use her as an assistant.
“How is the city government doing?”
“…After the death of Madric Onion, the new project was completely stopped. It has been decided that Achilles Corp.’s affairs will be taken care of by another special agency.”
Evelyn shook her head.
“Thanks to that, some of the management rights that were taken away from the agent have been returned.”
“And the understaffed agent will reinstate the suspended ace.”
“No, not yet….”
“Not yet?”
Evelyn’s eyes fluttered slightly as Lennok looked away.
“Maybe I can get back to work…?”
“…Deputy Director Palad will take care of it. There must be something big going on.”
It seemed that Evelyn’s unwilling life as an unemployed would be a little longer, but she shook her head as if she didn’t want to care for long.
“It’s strange that the city council ended up like this. Something must have happened.”
“There are never people who act for no reason. You must have your own plan, just like when the prohibition law was lifted out of the blue.”
In the end, didn’t there be a clear and important reason for this new project?
At this opportunity, Lennok could keenly realize how much the city council was working in the dark to cover up the horrors caused by the failure of the Black Consumer Project.
It was like getting closer to the secret of the project that had been shrouded in a veil, but since the situation was over with the funeral of Onion in Madrid, it was difficult for Lennok to move hastily.
As in this case, it is very rare that cause and responsibility are narrowly opposed and the aftermath is not great.
Madrich Onion himself went into the Achilles Company, confronted Dyke, and committed a series of disgusting acts after committing terror, so the city council did not take this issue too seriously and just buried it as holding a funeral.
There was a high possibility that the loss would outweigh the gains if he got excited and ran wild to reveal the secrets of the city.
“Struman said he would buy me a drink sometime.”
“The Navy?”
“I guess he didn’t like the fact that Madrid Onion was using the naval base as his beekeeper. They asked me to contact you once.”
Lennok laughed involuntarily.
Even without that, there were many people he needed to meet separately, like Panoa from Dyke and Mayer and Sebastian, who had helped him on this project.
“If you come to Area 49, I’ll treat you to a glass of whiskey.”
“I will tell you that. Shall I go have a drink here after a long time?”
As Evelyn said that, she pretended to tip the glass with one hand.
“Come to think of it, I haven’t been able to do it since I came back from the labyrinth.”
“do whatever you want. But I think Jenny said earlier that she was coming to see the bar with the bar closed… … .”
oh oh oh oh!!!
Lennok and Evelyn turned their heads at the sudden cheers from the corner of the clearing.
Everyone else who had been huddled in the courtyard was staring in amazement.
The two of them, who turned their gazes along the direction in which they were heading, also inadvertently opened their mouths.
“…Is that what I’m looking at right now?”
“I didn’t expect this either. The second most successful person… … .”
A broker with water-soaked hair.
Jenny, who looks like she came out to see what is going on in the courtyard, is sweating profusely with her hands folded.
“There half…? Is this going right?”
Between her fingers, a ring of faint blue light rose and rotated.
* * *
It’s been a week since I gave the people gathered in the courtyard the task of mastering the art of drawing magic circles.
After that, Lennok took care of his delayed schedule and business, met the people he needed to meet, and tidied up his personal affairs.
When returning from a stay outside the city, there are often piles of overdue work, but since this work was completed near the city, it was relatively less burdensome.
The only thing that bothers me is that the aftereffects of the injury sustained in the battle against Madrid have not completely gone away yet.
It would be nice if he could take a good rest and take care of his condition, but Lennok had no intention of continuing this daily life for long.
“Let’s see what’s left… … .”
After promising to send a representative to Dyke’s stockholders’ meeting, he stops by Palmer’s workshop to repair the damaged equipment.
Stop by the Antares Mercenaries and hear that Antares has not returned to the city yet, and say hello to Dylan and Mila.
Evan’s identity is to contact Rabatenon University to check the number of days left in the annual leave, and then contact Bayla, who is serving as a temporary professor, to vacate the schedule.
[Since you have three identities, you have three times as many schedules to pay attention to.]
“That’s right. I do regret it sometimes Even though I only use three identities alternately, there are so many things to worry about.”
Lennox laughed as he accepted Darby’s words.
[But do you still think you have to work now?]
“….”
Darby’s words seemed to pass by casually.
However, Lennok noticed the concern in the spirit’s words and kept his mouth shut.
“…yes. To put it bluntly, this is like going to create a fourth identity.”
Laughing hard, Lenno reached inside his coat and stroked Darby’s hair.
“The destruction of the central city and the failure of the project. Secrets not yet revealed by the ascended… … There are still people who can answer all these questions.”
[but….]
“I said it might be the last offer. I wonder how far that was true…I need to check.”
The hand that was stroking Darby’s hair comes out of the coat.
Between Lennok’s long, thin fingers was a mask resembling a black obsidian rather than a brain spirit.
Inside the train returning to the megalopolis from Hanghasa Labyrinth.
The item that I received and took as the last offer from the King of Pandaemonium.
Lennok stared at it for a while, then slowly placed the mask on his face.
There was a long time of trouble and patience, and finally a decision was made after an unexpected meeting with the religious leader.
There are still so many things Lennok doesn’t know, yet there are truths to be uncovered and answers that fail.
Lennok was rather strongly aware of the leader’s transcendent presence and the conversation that transcended cognition.
Perhaps, as Myeong said, this moment might be Lennok’s last chance to choose another turning point.
The hesitation did not last long.
The voice that echoed through the mask was completely different from Lennok’s and was altered.
“Let’s go see Pandaemonium.”
