Chapter 24
3 days later.
It is dawn when the cold night air wets the tip of the nose.
After walking all the way under the exceptionally bright night sky and arriving at Area 48, cold smoke leaked from Lennok’s mouth.
A long leather bag is hung from his back, and a tobacco stick is in his mouth.
Because the bag was rather heavy, I needed to forget my fatigue by smoking weed on the way.
“Whoa...”
It is true that I am nervous when I arrive at the port and breathe in the cool air.
Especially considering what he will do from now on.
Lennok lightly tapped both cheeks and sent Jenny a text saying that he was starting, and headed straight to the promised place.
“Come. You are the last.”
The four people who had gathered first and lowered their heads slowly turned their heads.
A skinny woman and a man with a bandit-like body. And two people who covered their faces with blue iron masks.
The two people who covered the masks were covering their entire bodies with a thick cloth so that their gender and body shape were not easily recognizable.
‘They’ve got all the stars...’
Lennok said and silently moved towards them, and the four of them took a step back in an instant.
A look that is clearly full of vigilance.
The discipline of the team members ahead of the operation did not seem to be lax.
The rightmost mask opened its mouth first. thick voice. It is undoubtedly a man’s.
He seemed to have the biggest say in this place.
“Everyone knows the outline, so I’ll just summarize the details and get going.”
After saying that, he manipulated the device on his left wrist and floated a simple hologram in the middle of the crowd.
This is a skill that was demonstrated in front of the mercenaries under Dray Krimgaldo.
“Currently, there are seven entrances to the port of Area 48, which is blocked by Paul Ackerman’s enlisted men. Among them, except for the exclusive entrance for sailors and cargo transporters, it is neatly divided into five places. I take charge of each entrance one by one, subdue the soldiers and wait.”
The mindset that each person should do it thoroughly. It’s not bad.
His tone was quite overbearing, but everyone nodded their heads without much complaint.
“Distributors and Ackerman will go their separate ways and hold talks. When the meeting place is specified, the confirmed side starts the operation first, and the rest immediately join.”
Five small ear sets popped out of the masked man’s arms, and the other team members shared them one by one.
“It is a disposable communicator that can make contact. They are designed to break the circuitry overnight, so don’t keep them for too long. Then let’s begin.”
Judging from the way he speaks, it seems that Mask doesn’t expect much from the other team members in the first place.
It seemed blatant to just fight moderately and ask for time.
Lennox understands that feeling to some extent.
If you gather five people you don’t know right away and ask them to work together, trusting them would be even more strange.
Rather, the more simplified the operation, the more room for individual excellence to shine, so it is not necessarily only disadvantages.
“But you guys are really careless.”
The moment everyone understood the plan and was about to disperse, another mask standing next to the mask opened its mouth.
“You don’t even think about covering your face when you come out here? Dyke may have a lot of money, but he’s not responsible for their safety.”
Unlike the Masked Man, he has a relaxed yet high-pitched tone. this is a woman
Did you accept this request as a pair of men and women? It can be said that it is an unusual composition.
At the masked woman’s words, the three people, including Lennok, looked at each other silently and burst into laughter.
The skinny woman replied with a strange face as if mocking.
“You guys are not the people who work here.”
“.....what?”
“If you want to raise your ransom on this floor, you have to work with your face and name uncovered, whether you like it or not. Do you think you’ll care about having your face exposed unless there’s a special reason?”
It’s a special circumstance... Do such circumstances exist beyond Dylan’s grotesque mask?
Lennok suddenly recalled the first time he had been commissioned to demolish a factory, and fell into a vague memory.
The masked woman seemed briefly taken aback by the skinny woman’s words, but quickly recovered her emotions and turned around.
“As long as you do a good job, it won’t matter. Don’t grab my ankle.”
‘Looking at his attitude, it seems he’s not really from this side.’
As Lennok watched the masked men disappear among themselves, he sifted through the list of potential recruits from the Dyke side.
Mercenary Gang, Freelance Soldier... It wouldn’t be surprising if you brought in a corporate armed force or even a criminal.
In the meantime, a man who looked like a bandit tapped the skinny woman on the shoulder.
“Hey, where are you going?”
“.....It doesn’t matter where. Anyway, I wasn’t chosen here because I’m strong. I will take care of my own business.”
“okay? It’s a pity... If you’re the same skinny guy, I wanted to go to the same place as Lady.”
Looking at the man with a sinister smile, the woman ignored him with a cold face.
The man looked back at Lennok and smiled when the woman didn’t respond.
“I don’t think you’re the kind of person who puts in too much effort... Don’t die and follow me to the port. If you make it difficult for no reason because of the lack of numbers, I will tear you out.”
Lennok didn’t respond and immediately turned around.
Now I’m sick of this kind of bullshit so much.
It’s not too late to decide the right rank after the work is over.
If that man is still alive by then.
[Three two one. Go in.]
A dry voice came through the ear set. There was a claim from the masked man that the timing of the rush should be matched together.
Breathing in the cold air deeply, we enter the harbor.
No sound can be heard around, only the sound of waves lapping the edge of the harbor in the distance reverberates low.
A messy cement street lined with hundreds and thousands of containers.
Turning his head, all he could see was a steel container resembling cardboard, but Lennok already knew that there were a lot of people around.
His vast magic power sensing ability accurately detects those hiding everywhere and monitoring all directions.
All of them are holding heavy rifles in their hands and wearing hard bulletproof vests.
From the mask worn on the face to the sharp death that flows from the whole body.
They must be private soldiers hired by Paul Ackerman himself.
Undoubtedly.
Those gathered here today will never be the ones who carry their faces proudly in broad daylight.
‘Looks like Paul Ackerman hasn’t arrived yet. It’s worth it to arrive early.’
No one could withstand the hallucinatory magic that stuck in the eyes and ears of the enlisted soldiers.
The sound of other team members entering the harbor in different ways can also be heard.
[Kwajik!! Wow!]
Break through head-on.
[Ah, can you hear me here? There’s nothing wrong with Jayden. I just want to change the patrol route, so please cooperate.]
Modulating the voice.
[Wheeying...!!]
Even the unknown machine sound.
In that short period of time, it seems that people with various abilities have gathered.
I leisurely passed between the soldiers and took a seat in the corner of the clearing where I could see a large cargo ship at an angle.
Even among the privates, there were not a few who used magic sensing, but it didn’t mean anything to Lennok.
It’s been a while before Paul Ackerman arrives.
Instead of fooling around while he waited blankly, Lennok decided to try some more tricks.
‘It would be better to reduce the number of heads in advance.’
Little by little, I adjust the hallucination magic cast on the enlisted soldiers who passed by in turn
.
Spray small hallucinations in your ears. Throwing a shadow in the field of view, raising the vigilance and releasing the magic.
“.........”
Blocking their eyes and ears and continuing to inject signals to distract them, the unbearable soldiers raised their muzzles and slowly began to follow the trail.
Lennok smiled faintly as he watched the enlisted men approach one by one around the container.
I couldn’t have imagined it would happen this way.
No matter how rare the chance to meet a mage was, you wouldn’t have known that among them you would meet a mage who could use hallucination magic.
[Silence]
I brought enough bullets in preparation for an occasion like this.
Lennok slowly pulled the trigger one by one at the soldiers approaching slowly from behind the container.
container! container! container! container!
Every time the trigger of the revolver was pulled, blood splattered and the stiffened soldiers fell like powerless puppets without any resistance.
Lennok, who had dealt with dozens of enlisted men in an instant, came out from the back of the container again and hid himself in the corner of the clearing.
Appropriately, it hides itself in the shadow of the moonlight and rummages around its waist.
In Lennok’s hand was the Druid’s amulet that Mila had given him.
After roughly rubbing the amulet with my hands a few times and putting it back on my waist, Lennok’s movement faded and he couldn’t even feel his breath.
Considering that it was a consumable item, it was like losing one rep, but Lennok was not vigilant.
Paul might not know it, but given that Russell was a war mercenary, there was a high possibility that his senses were sharper than the others.
It was not a waste to use the talisman to escape his senses.
Time flies.
[......Entrance complete. Wait now, and let the one who found the target first send a signal.]
......Suddenly, the masked man’s words are becoming commands.
Lennok frowned slightly, but decided to wait until the request was finished. It wasn’t that much of an annoyance.
Soon after, the entrance of the harbor became noisy for a moment, and several footsteps echoed with a muffled sound.
You can guess just by listening to the noise that gradually gets louder.
‘It’s on my side.’
Lennok tapped his earset, said a few words, and immediately used the amulet again.
A car’s headlights shine through the containers, and a loud engine suddenly approaches.
About a dozen people entered the clearing and looked around anxiously.
They seemed to be distributors dealing with Paul Ackerman.
After waiting a little longer, a sleek sedan slid into the clearing from behind.
The car door burst open and a handsome middle-aged man and a black man got out together.
Paul Ackerman and Jude Russell.
With his navy blue shirt undone deeply, he waved at people with a confident smile on his face.
“Women!! Good night. The weather is just right for business talk. is not it?”
“.........”
Distributors did not respond to his words and shrugged their shoulders in silence.
From that simple question and answer, it was clear where the superiority and inferiority relationship leaned between them.
Paul, without hesitation, put his hand on the shoulder of the distributor in front of him and started talking loudly.
It seemed like there was a lot to say.
“I want to say thank you very much for making this a place like this today. Actually, I also had a lot of things I wanted to say to my co-workers, but it was difficult to seize the opportunity.”
“What do you mean...”
“I worked hard to give them back money, take care of medicines, and oil the public servants diligently to help them do their jobs well. But there was nothing coming back to me. It’s not like I’m digging the ground and doing business. I have a give, but I can’t take it.”
Kwaaaak.
Paul muttered as he grabbed the distributor by the shoulders.
“I’m a little angry too.”
“...Kuh! Let go of this!”
The red-faced distributor cut off Paul’s arm and gave him a look of regret, but Paul’s feelings seemed to have crossed an irreversible line.
Wow!
The properly slapped distributor collapsed and Paul started stomping on him frantically.
“These fucks keep on! repeatedly! repeatedly! You’re blowing my money, but I’m not going to go crazy!!”
Puck! Puck! Puck!
The distributor crouched down without protest, and the others standing behind him watched without a word.
Lennok watched the scene from a distance, then slowly drew a revolver from his bosom.
I called the other team members, but I had no intention of just watching them until they came.
In the end, wouldn’t it be cleaner to take care of things by hitting the first gong in some way?
The important thing is timing.
Just the right gap for Lennok to hit and the team to arrive and wipe out all the people gathered here at once.
And Lennok’s vast magic power perception already accurately estimated the time.
I pulled the cock of my preloaded revolver and slowly put my finger on the trigger.
The gun was aimed precisely at Paul’s back.
Build up sub-magic.
[Aim correction]
[Trace concealment]
[Rotation acceleration]
According to the information, Paul Ackerman is an ordinary person with no magical powers.
And Jude Russell is looking around in all directions, well over five meters apart.
With 3 assistive shooting spells, the garage was overflowing.
[Aim Correction] assists Lennok’s poor marksmanship, [Trace Concealment] covers the trajectory of bullets shaking in the dark night, and [Rotational Acceleration] will stir up Paul’s upper body the moment it hits.
Count two and pull the trigger.
[Silence] Barrel activated at the same time
!
Bullets are fired with a faint noise that only Lennok could hear.
The moment the bullet, hidden in the shadows of dawn, pierced Paul’s shoulder blade without an inch of error and was about to shatter his flesh.
Kaaang!!
Jude Russell appeared right behind Paul and swung his arm like lightning to deflect the bullet.
In his hand was a long sword that had been drawn before he knew it.
“.......”
Lennok silently lowered the smoking gun.
“What!!”
“what is this sound!”
“Someone shot!! There’s someone else here!!”
Paul sighs as he stares at the disorganized distributors.
He looked at Jude and nodded, and immediately he jumped into action.
Awesome!!
“Quaaaaagh!!”
It was a deep cut in the shoulder of the distributor who was the first to run away.
Blood spurts nakedly and the cut man collapses with a scream.
However, on the contrary, the mouths of others were closed in an instant.
Paul, who made the whole area quiet with a single move, looked at the distributors and said.
“How have our customers been selling drugs all these years while being afraid of this?”
“Ha, but...”
“You bastard, you won’t die. a little!”
Kwaaaaang!!
As soon as Paul finished speaking, a blue laser fell from the sky and swept the ground.
Paul and the distributors’ bodies were swept away by intense heat.
“Kaaaa!!”
“Ah ah ah ah..!!”
“Buy and save..!!”
People screaming and howling from the burning heat.
Lennok glanced around and looked at the man who had just dropped a bombardment on this spot.
The masked woman who arrived first was standing on top of a three-story container and looking down at them.
“I was lucky to be able to take care of all the trash in one go. Is this the end of this mission?”
“Hey, you haven’t even checked the body yet and you’re already getting excited? And Jude Russell didn’t even get swept up in it.”
Whoop!
A ray of blue light flashed from the mask at the skinny woman’s scolding that appeared next to the masked woman along with black smoke.
It seemed to be an expression of emotion.
“Never mind. This one will only deal with Paul Ackerman and leave.”
Lennok, who looked up at the sharp battle of nerves between the two women, quietly raised the amulet again.
It seemed like I could use the talisman once more while my eyes were focused on that side.
Immediately, one of the patterns engraved on the amulet disappears, and Lennok’s presence fades again.
Whether Lennok agrees or not, the two women’s bickering continues.
“Are you deciding that on your own? If something like this happens, I will also protest against Dyke. You don’t think you’re the only one being treated and thinking you’ve been put into this quest?”
“So, don’t worry...”
Lennok asked instead of responding to the taunting remark.
“You have no reason to kill me, do you? Your work would be over when Paul Ackerman died.”
“...That’s a pretty useless question for asking right before you die.”
Judd tilted his head and opened his mouth without hesitation.
Should it be considered leisure? I heard the answer obediently, probably convinced that Lennok could not return alive.
“First of all, since the target of my escort is dead, shouldn’t I save face by taking revenge? And...”
“And?”
Jude Russell, who had been staring at Lennok, smiled cruelly.
“Because it was Juice Master who entrusted me with this escort request. If the guard failed, wouldn’t there be an excuse to carry around the culprit’s head?”
“........”
“Of course, I won’t cut my head just because the boss on the other side of the earth died, but it’s not something I can just pass over.”
Was the rumor true that Paul Ackerman was Juicemaster’s subordinate?
If the drug lord sent him directly to protect his limbs, he would surely not be an ordinary person.
I only heard that he was from a war mercenary, but the movements he showed earlier were also quite high.
After all, it was necessary to kill them at once on the spot.
Since you’ve come this far, everything has already been prepared.
Lennok, who had made up his mind, nodded and slightly raised his mana.
The flow
is so stealthy that the two waves don’t even notice, yet swift and breezy.
Stack it up with magic at once.
[Reverse Gravity]
Woooooooooo!!!
Right after that, the gravity in all directions is accurately reversed, and objects around it, including containers, begin to float upward at once.
The bizarre scene in which the laws of physics are overturned as the direction of gravity is reversed.
It was an instant for the two people who had been firmly planted on the ground until then to change their expressions.
“.....!!”
But the response was quick.
Quaang!!
A man sticking his hand into the cement floor and holding out, and Jude staring at Lennok with a sword drawn and a flower on the ground.
Lennox shook his head calmly.
I didn’t expect to be able to do a lot of damage simply by turning gravity upside down.
[Reverse Gravity] is famous for its superficial majesty and its powerful effect of reversing gravity, so it consumes a huge amount of mana, but it is not very practical.
If you want to bind your opponent, it is more reasonable to use [Gravity Bind].
But, nevertheless, there was a reason Lennok dared to reverse gravity right here.
The first to notice the anomaly was Jude Russell.
“.....Wait, this direction!!”
The direction of gravity is not exactly reversed.
An ominous thought flashed through Jude Russell’s mind as he saw five or six containers floating in the air all at once moving in a direction away from the sea.
Lennok grinned.
“It feels good.”
Aaaaaaaaaaaa!!!
As soon as he finishes his words, the waves rising from the port frantically swell and stretch toward the sky.
Lenok reversed the gravity of this area and at the same time included the sea behind him in its scope.
The waves stretched out and slanted enough to cover the sky for a moment and cast a second shadow in the middle of the night.
At the same time, Lennok moved his mana once more.
Unlike before, it took control of the space in an instant and distorted the source of the two people’s strength.
Wooded Deuk!!
“Kuh...!! What the fuck is this..!!”
“Magic power...?!”
If you are a skilled person like them, there is a high possibility that you will not be able to do it again after being hit once, but rather, that’s why you need to catch the best timing.
Even though I had many opportunities to kill the man while running away, I endured it and ran all the way here for this moment.
That brief moment when the movements of the two people, who were trying to avoid the oncoming waves, turned into those of ordinary people.
A huge amount of sea water covers the three people as they are.
Aaaaaaa!!
The salty water that drenches the edge of the harbor.
Before the moisture had evaporated, Lennok pulled up his mana with all his might.
I felt the mana go through my stomach and return as a burden to my body, but I gritted my teeth and pushed it up to the top of my head.
The burden of using mana, which consumes a lot of mana in succession, was not an issue to consider in the current situation.
In this place, there is a lot of moisture that has spread thickly, and cold air like frost flows out.
[Ice Round]
Wow!!
In the blink of an eye, the seawater that flowed between the ports freezes and grabs and binds everything floating in the air.
A huge block of ice hardened into the shape of a wave sweeping over the entire visible clearing and squeezing it down.
It is less powerful than [Frost Horn], which is used as an anti-personal freezing magic, but the casting time is extremely short and the range is wide, assuming that there is moisture in advance.
Magic that can be used most efficiently and powerfully only at this moment.
Whittling white steam through his teeth, Lennok quickly drew a revolver from his waistband.
[Aim Correction]
[Strengthen Trigger]
[Rotation Acceleration]
In the blink of an eye, the revolver’s muzzle, which had piled up three sub-enchantments, aimed at one of the two frozen people in an instant.
Considering the skills of the bandit man and Jude Russell, the time to keep them captive is not long.
If it had to be taken care of, who would be the first to kill?
It was after the troubles were over.
Lennok pulled the trigger hard without hesitation.
Taang!!
Flames leaked through the muzzle and smoke flew.
At the same time, half of the head of the bandit man, who had been frozen in a hesitant position, was shattered.
Few!!
Hot blood gushed out with a dull sound like a snowball breaking.
The man finally released from bondage stared at Lennok in disbelief.
“It can’t be like this. Just because I couldn’t move for a moment...!!”
Do you think and speak properly even after half of your head is blown off?
Proof that men are not low level warriors who die in vain like this.
But Lennok did not respond and immediately pulled the trigger once more.
What did it matter how strong and skilled he was?
The man was careless and did not fully grasp Lennok’s abilities.
That was the only loss.
leave no regrets
The strength that the bandit-like man had strengthened by summoning the spirits of his ancestors was so strong that even Lennok could not easily handle it from the front.
I don’t know how strong Jude Russell is, but it was right to calculate the next fight by eliminating the visibly identified danger.
Taang!!
“Mr. Baal...!!”
Jude Russell is freed from the icy chains at the same time as the man’s corpse falls from the neck down.
quick!!
At the same time, his body left only a vague afterimage, then disappeared in an instant and appeared in front of Lennok like a flash war.
A bold decision aimed at right after the magician uses magic.
It’s an unbelievably good choice, considering that my whole body was pickled in the cold just a moment ago.
Kaaaa!!
He must have thought that he had to break the shield with just one attempt.
Of course, he must have tried to take advantage of this golden opportunity by putting all his magic power into it.
However, Lennok did not fall twice in the same attempt to destroy the shield.
Uuuuuuuuuu...!!”
If the shields that were simply overlapped were destroyed by the mighty strength, it would be enough to change the arrangement of the shields.
The gap between the shields is subtly spaced, and the moment an attack approaches, the direction is twisted little by little, causing the direction of the force to be slashed each time one is shattered.
If you didn’t know if you weren’t prepared like before, you could cope with any situation you already knew.
You have to pay a little more attention to magic control, but it’s enough in situations where you only focus on defense.
“Kuh...!!”
He must have hoped that Lennok would look as confused as the bandit man did earlier.
But it was Jude Russell who bit his lip.
The moment he realizes that the first attack is blocked, Jude’s new model makes a strange sound and disappears in an instant.
The moment he confirmed Lennok’s strength, he intuitively felt that there was no answer in a head-to-head confrontation.
Faaaa!!
Quickly moving in all directions, desperately aiming for gaps in the shield made by Lennok.
He saw through to the fact that the shield opened by Lennok could not work in all directions in that short period of time, and came up with the most effective countermeasure.
Shik...!! Shik...!!
Only the noise of the shrieking wind rustling over the ice of the harbor that has become a mess reverberates.
tutter tong!!
The empty footsteps heard while stepping on empty containers dozens of times, and the cargoes whose corners were cut off unable to overcome the anticipation.
In the invisible wind of death, Lennok clutched his revolver and waited for him to come.
I know that Jude Russell will not run away from this place.
All that remains is if Lennok can detect Jude’s intentions and subdue them.
That was the only problem.
And Lennok believed in his own talent and in his own power.
walk forward slowly
Rather, it is a defenseless act that opens a gap.
However, instead of rushing forward, Jude sped up a little more and dazzled Lennok’s senses as he watched the situation.
Contrary to his arrogant speech skills, he has an extremely cautious attitude.
The gap brought a faint smile to Lennok’s lips.
Whii profit!!!
Lennok never dared to guess, but never later than expected.
That fleeting moment that accurately penetrates the gap between the senses and the gap between thoughts.
Jude emerged from Lennok’s left flank and thrust the blade in.
A movement so natural that you would never even feel it if you were not very conscious.
A single move that makes you realize how skilled a murderer Jude Russell is.
But Lennok reacted.
Kwaaaaang!!!
At the same time as Jude appeared next to him, he struck his shock magic and knocked his head to the ground.
Jude’s upper body fell over as if someone had grabbed his hair.
In an instant, the purple whip tightly bound his limbs.
With that, the battle was over in an instant.
Jude, whose deadly attack had gone to nothing, looked up at Lennok with disbelief.
“Oh how...!!”
Lennok replied calmly.
“From the beginning.”
His gaze goes to the piece of ice still buried on the edge of Jude’s coat.
A piece of his magic that Lennok left after using [Ice Round].
Although it is difficult to detect even that speed with the naked eye, Lennok’s ability to detect magical power is different.
Even more so, tracking the movement of the magical power that Lennok had directly sown was simpler than chasing the invisible with eyes wide open.
From the moment Jude Russell was bathed in seawater, Lennok was already holding on tightly to victory.
Jude, who finally grasped the situation, struggled to get up somehow with a pale face, but the magic Lennok had prepared was implemented first.
Hey hey...!!
The shadow that rose from under Jude’s feet became a very large mouth and swallowed the lower half of his body.
The shadow-type surprise magic, which exerts its true value in the dark, worked properly this time as well.
What followed was a desperate scream.
“Keah haaaaa!!!”
Jude, who had lost both legs in a single attack, let go of the knife with a painful groan.
He groaned slowly and began to run away, dragging his torso behind him, slowly pushing his arms back as if he was somehow trying to get away from Lennok.
But instead of pursuing him, Lennok burst out laughing.
His last bet seemed too obvious.
“Do you want me to be tricked by licking blood so deliciously right in front of my eyes?”
“.........”
Hearing those words, Jude Russell’s body stood still.
Fudduk!!
Without a word, it turns into a red mist and starts to run away through the night sky.
vampire.
strong physical abilities. cunning combat intelligence. thirst for blood. The ability to cast blood mist.
They are similar to werewolves, but they pursue pure blood by achieving power in a different way.
Have I finally met the two races that are similar but different like a mirror?
But no further curiosity arose.
Vampires’ Bloodification (血化) is a very useful ability, but it makes them much more vulnerable to attacks.
Taking that form when running away was really just a last resort.
Lightning strikes from the barren sky.
Confirming that the faint silhouette had turned to ashes in the eye-popping flash and that even the fishy presence had completely disappeared, Lennok slowly turned his back.
Only after the battle is over, my mouth is dry and my head is suddenly pounding.
Lennok, realizing that he had run out of medicine, hurriedly lit a new cigarette.
“Whoa...”
He sat down on a piece of container that had been neatly sliced by Jude Russell’s blade and let the smoke flow.
I can feel my sweaty shirt cooling down quickly in the night breeze.
Indeed, my lungs were already aching and my legs were throbbing, probably because I had been working hard for a long time.
My stomach, which had been hit by a shotgun, also throbbed mercilessly.
When I lifted my shirt and checked my stomach, there was already a large blue bruise on the lower part of my stomach.
Even though he was sucking on cash buns, at this level, the pain wouldn’t be too bad after the effect of the medicine had ended.
Negotiation
‘wasn’t easy.’
I blankly let go of the smoke and recall this battle.
I was prepared when I received the request from Dyke, but this time, too, it was not easy.
Considering the quests Lennok had experienced up to this point, the level of the opponent was also relatively high.
Neither the bandit-like man nor Jude Russell would have had the skills to walk around with their heads down recklessly on this floor.
It’s just that Lennok had a power and talent they couldn’t have predicted and was able to bring it out precisely at the most fatal moment.
In the end, that’s all there is to it.
In an endless battle, Lennok must constantly prove himself.
Alleviation of the penalty More money Comfortable living... All is meaningless if you can’t pass this basic premise.
And because of that, Lennok was able to put all his thoughts aside for that moment and fully focus on the battle.
Rather, I started to feel comfortable in this time of fighting for my life.
‘......This is dangerous.’
Lennok thought as he watched the end of the burning butt.
After all, it is like an addiction to drugs.
Once you start to taste the stimulation, it is not easy to get away from it.
Instead of dipping your toe in the bog and trying to get out of it, you have to thoroughly manage yourself so that you can avoid the bog from the beginning.
This is absurd.
I thought that he was engrossed in running, hoping for one thing more than anything else, but rather it seemed to be starting to hold Lennok’s ankle little by little.
But it’s something he started and was determined to do again.
I have to endure it.
Lennok yet?
