Paradise’s words (4)
I didn’t have to ponder for long what the identity of the first feeling of discomfort was.
The fact that only three people were mobilized for such an urgent yet important operation, and the behavior of Ming who suddenly abandoned him in the jungle.
Even the creepy feeling of déjà vu that I felt from a clown I saw for the first time. All explained perfectly under one single assumption.
An incredibly powerful spell. A transcendent ability that is incomparable to Rick, the illusionist who accompanied him in the process of stealing the archangel’s tears.
He had placed a phantom spell that shook all five senses in the gap where Lennok had lost consciousness, and was trying to figure out when he would notice it.
The reason why he couldn’t properly feel the heat or dampness was probably because Lennok’s powerful spell designation resistance ability prevented all illusions from being applied even while he was unconscious and defenseless.
However, after quickly inferring such a series of circumstances, Lennok raised his guard against clowns considerably.
‘I’ve never heard of a magician of this level. There is a high probability that he is already insane.’
It must have been that he took advantage of the moment when he lost consciousness and was defenseless, and even took advantage of the supernatural ability of the airship called the silver warship.
Even so, what did it mean that he cast a spell on Lennok, even for a short time?
There was no doubt that the clown was also a transcendent quality system, and also an incredibly powerful illusionist.
If you think of the curse of the special world that says that the more you master the magic of the higher ranks and get your hands on it, the more you suffer from madness, the clown must already be insane.
The attitude of putting a magic spell on Lennok and waiting for him to rise is an overly dangerous idea to call him an ally.
Soryu and Ermong were wary of calling him a madman, and there was obviously a reason for that.
However, the clown is just looking at him with a single smile as if he is having fun with Lennok’s attitude.
Rather, the red laser pointers aimed at Lennok’s robes shone even colder.
“Hey, what are you guys doing?”
Leya frowned and raised her hand at the tension that began to circle around her in an instant.
At the same time, bright red dots disappearing in the air in an instant.
“You’re the one who joined on the recommendation of a person. don’t interfere It’s a problem we’ll solve ourselves.”
“…Dangerous.”
A gloomy voice came from inside the bulkhead.
Is he a commanding officer in charge of dozens of combat troops gathered here?
“Speciality. Also, against space-type wizards, there is no choice but to give the first attack almost unconditionally. Security may not be possible….”
“Fuck you, do you think I’m asking because I don’t know that?”
Raya burst into annoyance.
“Of course I was called to this job because I have that level of ability. I rather want to see more, so stay still. Don’t go out unnecessarily like during a performance. Got it?”
“….”
There was no answer.
Instead, dozens of people hiding in bulkheads and watching Lenok and the laser pointer illuminating the dark cargo compartment quietly disappeared.
Leya glanced around, then strode forward and held out her hand to Lennok.
“Freya. What about that one?”
“Victor.”
At this point, there was no need to decline the greeting.
After shaking hands lightly, she naturally distanced herself from Lennok and said,
“I don’t care because I think I can talk better than that psychopath. If you’re a sorcerer with a special trait, there won’t be anything that catches your ankle.”
“It’s not as much fun as I expected.”
The clown, who had been watching the scene quietly, said with a smile.
“It’s been a while since the dice came out well, so the spell was chosen well, but I didn’t expect it to be discovered so quickly.”
“Is that important?”
“Important…. Raya is not wrong. How long you can survive my pranks will also be a pretty important part of this job.”
“….”
“I didn’t think Ming would bring a space-type special magician. whooping… … what happened Now that the play is over, shall we get to the main topic?”
Saying that, the clown grabbed the lever next to the bulkhead and lowered it.
Woo Woo Woo!!
With a harsh noise as if air pressure was escaping, the door on one side of the bulkhead went down as it were, revealing the ground thousands of meters below.
Lennok, who inadvertently looked down, paused.
At the same time as the airship slightly lowered its altitude, it pierced through the thick clouds and showed the magnificent jungle scenery below.
A view of dense jungle covered all the way to the horizon.
Even though the sun has already set and it is night, the remaining heat on the ground rises through the air and spreads hotly, creating a haze.
What would it look like if night came to the scenery of Nammando Coast, which was the domain of self-reflection of the blue-eyed sorcerer Grisha?
But it’s not just the magnificent Southern Continental jungle that overwhelms the viewer that catches Lennok’s eye.
From the dazzling light sources and acrid smoke that spreads everywhere in the jungle, to the appearance of black figures running between them.
Other forces had already come into the jungle and were running toward the well of handbooks.
click!!
Without hesitation, the clown walked to the end of the bulkhead, which slanted downward, and stood with his feet almost vertically on the bulkhead, pointing his fingers downward.
“The Warlord Blood Spirit Clan Flyer and Guido should have arrived a long time ago…. Oh, that’s the magic of the beast. Rumors abounded that the southern shamans would unite to form a vast dictatorship.”
“….”
The clown glanced at the time and giggled.
“If you calculate the return time, Gyebaek will arrive shortly after dawn. Until the road to the well opens, we should do what we have to do, right?”
“What should I do?”
“What are you even asking about? of course….”
Shiiik!!
The clown gently touched the blade protruding from the end of his sleeve.
“We have to deal with the annoying intruder.”
His face, which had always been smiling, was no longer smiling.
* * *
At the same time as the light flashes everywhere in the jungle, the forces encountered from all sides collide in various places.
The airship of the pandemonium that Lennok was riding passed through the jungle leisurely as if mocking them, and started speeding toward the center in an instant.
“It’s an object made with old world technology.”
said the clown, squatting on one side of the bulkhead.
The attitude of taking out dozens of blades from his bosom and carefully touching and polishing them one by one seemed very sincere.
As if from now on I would never do anything roughly.
“Above the southern jungle, flight is almost impossible due to the intense convection caused by the heat rising from the ground. If you don’t have a special car like we do, you have no choice but to crawl down there like a bug into the jungle. Hehehehe!!”
At the words of the clown who burst out with a shady laugh, Leya, who had been spread out carelessly on top of the cargo, frowned.
“Hey, I told you not to laugh like that. Because I’m really gross.”
“…Hmmmm Anyway, we’ll start as soon as we get to the ruins where the well is located.”
The clown slightly avoiding Leya’s line of sight said.
“Me and Victor take on each passage heading into the ruins, and Glenn watches the area outside the landing area. Leya stays on the airship and supports the rear.”
“under.”
“All right….”
Leya’s snort and a sullen voice coming from the darkness.
Instead of answering, Lennok nodded moderately.
Looking at the situation, it is clear that the clown is the leader and commander of this operation.
Contrary to that light attitude of being beaten by Leya while chatting, the clown’s status and ability are by far the most outstanding among them.
“I’ll take my time, secure space until dawn, and head to the altar where the well is located.”
The clown gathered all the blades that had been spread out on the floor with a single gesture and said,
“Open the well, signal when Gyebaek appears, and let the airship float. Either Leya or Victor just needs to drop it near the well.”
Sharpened blades quickly pointed at the myriad masses of cargo piled up inside the bulkhead.
Dozens of cargo that seemed to be tightly wrapped in something thick and long. Each one is large enough to be comparable to a passenger car and exudes heavy momentum.
“This is a key piece in this operation. The captain said it was prepared a long time ago.”
“…the leader? What did he prepare and deliver to us?”
Lennok’s gaze also sank heavily.
It would surely not be an ordinary item if the leader, who was by far the most heterogeneous among all the beings he had seen, had prepared it a long time ago.
The clown ignored Leya’s words and continued.
“If you embed those into Gyebaek’s body in order and bring them in front of the well, the last hidden geas will be activated.”
“….”
At the clown’s words, all sides fell into a quiet silence.
The last gias that makes up Gyebaek.
Not only because it was hidden, but because everyone knew what it meant for the leader to know about its existence.
Perhaps the core and key that penetrates this operation from beginning to end may be right there.
It was only then that Lennok nodded, realizing that the intricate magic formations drawn on the bottom of the bulkhead and the strange statues surrounding the area were arranged around the cargo.
It was said that a strangely strange landscape was drawn on the inside of the airship, but it was all for that cargo.
It wouldn’t be strange if the equipment was prepared for the runaway ascenders, even if it was stored under such strict vigilance and preparation.
“I said things easily, but don’t worry too much because I plan to handle all the tricky things.”
A request that is too trustworthy to come out of the mouth of the clown who just tried to cast a spell on Lennok and test it.
Rather than being relieved by his words or loosening his expression, the clown stood up giggling at the threatening atmosphere.
“As always, just do what you know how to do. Don’t look back for nothing. Got it?”
The clown nodded with a smile and raised his hand as he walked to the outside of the bulkhead.
In his hand, he held the two green dice he had seen before.
“Then, shall we try today’s horoscope?”
Dalgrak!!
The dice that fell from the clown’s hand rolled on the floor of the airship warehouse.
[4] [2]
“Mmmmm….”
“It’s fine.”
Contrary to the gloomy sound of disapproval of the clown, Leya, who was looking closely at the dice, nodded.
“I don’t really like it…. Did I use too much luck earlier?”
“It was an excessive number to play pranks on a newcomer, right?”
“Well, a total of 6 is enough…!!”
Kwaaaang!!
At that moment, a flash of light flashed in the labyrinth under the wide open bulkhead, and the airship shook greatly with a tremendous shock.
At the same time as a flashing hallucination, the cargo inside the bulkhead floated in the air and turned over.
“Kyaaak!!”
Contrary to Lennok and the clown’s natural balance, Leya, who had fallen from the cargo, rolled and fell out of the airship.
Chew!!
Before the clown could move, Lennok stretched out his magician to grab Leya and pulled her up.
As if she didn’t even know she was falling, she had a dazed look on her face, but after belatedly grasping the situation, her complexion grew slightly tired.
“Mr. Mr. X…!! I almost fell off.”
“As you can see, you don’t seem to be a person with physical abilities.”
“…Aren’t you tired?! I can dance too!!”
Leya, who was breathless at Lennok’s words, looked back at him with an angry expression.
The clown shrugged his shoulders, looking slightly surprised.
“Did you know how to handle magicians so skillfully? It looks like you’re just good at manipulating traits.”
“….”
“Well, it has to be at that level that the fussy King pays attention and makes an effort to enlist….”
Lennok didn’t dare to respond, but rather ignored the clown’s words.
Because of what he just said, he was able to figure out what kind of magician he was going to play inside the Pandemonium.
A sorcerer who specializes in manipulation and space-type talent-type abilities.
It seemed that there would be no doubt about his identity for the time being if he acted with an arrogant and rough temper like a magician who obtained a rare type of magic.
“Stop talking nonsense and start.”
Lennok muttered as he tossed his mask downward.
“Because it looks like there are some guys who want to keep this side in check.”
The shock that just hit the airship couldn’t have been purely accidental.
It would be impossible if someone hadn’t tried to intercept and intercept the Pandemonium’s airship that was speeding through the night sky in the jungle.
As if to support Lennok’s speculation, flashes of light were flashing in succession here and there in the dark jungle.
“Kihihi, is that so?”
The clown and Lennok, who rattled the dice in their hands, stepped out of the bulkhead at almost the same time.
“I go first!”
“Go alone.”
Wedge love!!
Unlike the clown who fell to the bottom of the jungle, Lenok, who stretched out his magician during the descent, pulled himself up and stood back on top of the airship.
“what?”
The clown’s dull voice quickly dissipates down there and disappears.
Lennok straightened the ends of his sleeves and took out the equipment he had prepared in advance.
Clap!!
Wooded Deuk!!!
At the end of the sleeves, the elongated lumps of iron began to line up neatly at the end of the airship’s fuselage as it increased its size and weight.
From the inside of the solid steel pillar, the blue magic light rotates and rushes incessantly.
Lennok, who had placed dozens of iron ingots on the upper part of the body of the aircraft, twisted and pulled the lever of the case in front of him.
Woooooooooooo!!!
At that moment, there was a loud noise that drowned out the sound of the airship flying, and the case heated up in an instant.
As soon as he removed his hand from the elongated case, which shook as if it were about to explode and emitted a roar, Lennok kicked it away.
kaang!!
As soon as the case hit by the shoe fell out of the airship, it was slurried by the magician.
With the flick of a finger, the magician rotates and throws the case he grabbed with full force. It was precisely inserted into the bombardment point on the ground that Lennok wanted.
The location is on the edge of the river where the flash of light that just attacked the airship was shining.
The magic light contained in the case descended at high speed and became so faint that Lennok could not see it.
Kwaaaaaaaa!!!
It exploded in the middle of the river with a tremendous roar, creating a bluish hemisphere.
“It’s hot right from the start of these fucking feet!!”
Just as Lennok was about to open the second case that had been standing right there and activate it, the iron door opened on the roof of the aircraft and Leya stumbled out.
“The lower radar is in a frenzy. What kind of dog are you throwing at me?”
“It is a bomb.”
Lennok answered in a low voice.
“There is no need to give up the positional advantage at this point.”
The clown seemed to understand Lennok’s words to get down quickly and move, but Lennok had no intention of going down right away.
There are many ways to firepower projection without going down to the ground, so why waste mana already?
Even if you don’t use body magic, there are plenty of ways to forcibly inflate firepower.
Blueprints for cutting-edge weapons in Machine City obtained from Gearside’s database.
The case that had just been thrown toward the ground was a kind of bomb made by entrusting the design to Palmer.
The exact name on the blueprint is Mana Resonance Range Control Resonance Incendiary (MAPHI). This is what is commonly referred to as the Mafia.
An item that causes an explosion with inflammable material filled inside the bullet and then amplifies the power with the magical power contained in the case, inflating the firepower and range beyond the resource.
A bomb that is close to the symbol used as a bombing ammunition for wartime in the mechanical city of Machina, and a product that constantly attempts to develop its power and range.
Lennok also asked Palmer to take care of it, but the firepower and range were not normal, so there was nothing to use in one-on-one combat.
It was only now that he was able to use the explosives he had stocked up in the battle against Madrid Onion.
Once exploded, there is no worry about leaving traces as the entire case and inflammable materials evaporate.
It is an item that is perfectly suited to be used to pour down one-sided bombardments from such a distance from the ground.
“It would be enough just to recognize the existence of the airship and drop it in the direction of interception. Let’s make it so you don’t even think of looking at it.”
While saying that, Lennok activated three cases at once and kicked them out of the airship.
Bubber Beopbung!!!
Blue hemispherical spheres burst out from everywhere in the dark jungle and then disappeared, illuminating the surroundings.
Screams and shouts echoed faintly from below. At the same time, as if it had been promised, the flashes of light gleaming toward the sky began to diminish.
“You feel cool.”
Leya nodded as Lennok brushed his hands and adjusted the mask.
“You wouldn’t carry a bomb with that much power sober. Did you keep it in the subspace?”
“what?”
“that’s interesting. It’s the first time I’ve ever seen a space wizard myself.”
It was only carrying a lightweight and volume reduction magic circle, but it seemed that Reya was already firmly mistaken about Lenok.
“I heard rumors that space magicians are thoroughly maintaining the form of outsider transmission, but I really didn’t know that the tradition was still going on.”
“….”
“I have been given an artifact with subspace as a gift, but the capacity is very small. How convenient would it be if I could make something like that myself…How is it in reality?”
While Leya is talking, the airship suddenly starts to lower its altitude at some point.
The darkest part of the jungle, where even the topography is unrecognizable.
Dense trees and bushes disappeared, revealing a plateau-like topography with countless piles of stones on a wide field.
Lennok narrowed his eyes as he realized that the piles of stones all over the plateau were the remains of something.
‘Forms of architecture and urban altars… … . Is it an ancient civilization?’
A now forgotten remnant of an ancient civilization in the southern jungles.
They arrived at the Handbook Well, one of the worst demonic landscapes in the Southern Continent that even those who live in the jungle cannot approach.
