Requiem of the Sea (1)

[There is a saying that once you start going into debt, you can’t stop.]

muttered Darby, who was yawning as she sat curled up on top of Lennok’s coat.

[As it turned out, it wasn’t about money, but about the social life of organisms, right?]

“… … There are a lot of strangely painful words these days.”

Sweaty Lennok, wearing only one shirt, turned to Darby and smiled.

“It seems that he has become very interested in humans.”

A secluded construction site with no human traces at all.

Amidst the chilly ruins, where cement dust fluttered, Lennok was concentrating with his hands raised.

These days, as he returned to the city, he is resuming various trainings and studies that he could not do in the labyrinth due to circumstances.

On the edge of the cartel’s undeveloped district, which he had visited for quite some time, Lennok was engrossed in refining his spatial magic.

Darby snorted and slapped him as Lennok looked back and focused his energy on the concrete pile.

[Because I don’t want ignorance about other organisms to hold me back. I am a good spirit who takes good care of the Master.]

“Yes, thank you very much.”

He said it like a pout, but I don’t think Darby was wrong.

Although he particularly enjoys receiving attention and praise, if there is a reason why the spirit, which did not pay much attention to individual people, now changes its attitude, it must be because of Lennok.

Conversely, does it mean that there are people who have an influence on Lennok even though Darby, who is not very interested in others, is watching from the sidelines?

Having reached that point, Lennok slowly withdrew his swaying mana and drew his breath.

“… … .”

I do not intend to deny that the premises that Lennok thought of change little by little according to the change of time and environment.

However, if there was such a change, the direction itself had to move in a direction that Lennok could control.

It is not a good choice to increase the variable in a situation where the end of this world may still lead.

Even Lennok himself wants an answer based on his unfounded conviction and intuition, but he also understands that it could end in tragedy.

What is the meaning of an illusion built on promises without a promise?

It’s impossible to clearly define the future you can’t be sure of, or to deceive others with such lies.

It was not a question that could be answered by thinking about it for a long time. Lennok put an end to his thoughts and turned his nerves back to the problem before his eyes.

“… … It is far from improving the efficiency of the space transfer itself even if you apply the barrier technique.”

Don’t fall!!

Depending on your hand gestures, the space in front of you is distorted like a crumpled sheet of paper, and soon it is torn apart without overcoming its limits.

Along with that, the heavy concrete lump in front of Lennok was smashed into pieces according to the crack, and burned and melted away from the friction between the spaces.

Chi profit!!

The strong smell of cement melting stung his nose, but Lennok’s expression did not change.

“Not only does the activation of the space transfer technique itself consume a huge amount of mana, but as the area increases, it’s like pouring oil on fire.”

[It’s a story that came to a conclusion a while ago.]

Darby responded with a wagging tail.

[It is difficult to expect more efficiency than now, unless you know if it is to define a new area within the spatial series and go through adjustments within it… … There is a record in the research journal written 84 days, 5 hours and 48 minutes ago.]

“… … You don’t have to tell me. I came back here today to solve that very problem.”

Lennok kept a brief journal of his research and record of his achievements in magic, and kept them inside Darby’s database.

Although Darby may not be very helpful at the point of discussing magical theories, it is helpful to organize your thoughts while talking to someone.

After correctly recognizing it, Lennok relayed some of his understanding to Darby and took measures so that he could analyze it in real time.

Even if there is no significant effect right now, who knows?

Darby, who understood all of Lennok’s theories, will be reborn as a decent wizard.

It was an imagination that made me laugh just thinking about it, but since it didn’t require a lot of time or effort, it didn’t matter anyway.

The reason I really had to invest my time and effort in a tight split was in the research of the new space magic I was going to try from now on.

“shall we start.”

ugh!!

At the same time as he touched his left eye, a purple demon’s eye came to mind and started scattering soft purple eyes.

The cracks that tightly covered the demonic eyes are still there, but there is no further loss of sight.

At the same time as the new magic eye was opened, the output was distributed, and it began to be adjusted to a level that did not harm the body.

“Whoa… … .”

Taking a deep breath, Lenok did not hesitate to pull out a huge scroll from his bosom and unfold it.

charleureuk!!

Papyrus Argenteus.

It is one of the spell weapons acquired in Jindun’s Hanghasa Labyrinth, and is originally intended to record and use complex barrier formations or spells that require prior preparation.

As it can be used simply as a storage of magical power, it must have been a product with many uses, but Lennok had only one thing in mind from the time he obtained this wine bottle.

[Blinking], a complex space-jumping magic that consumes a lot of mana, requires a preliminary chant, and requires calculations.

Isn’t this magic the right magic to memorize on papyrus and use like consumables?

Even knowing that, the reason why the blink spell couldn’t be recorded on papyrus was because the function wasn’t properly implemented due to the collision between the two spells and the artifact.

Papyrus Argenteus is a relic that compresses spells or barriers to the limit and records them between pages.

Of course, in the process, it was natural to interfere with the information of the space and the magic formula.

Likewise, Lennok’s flashing technique, which directly touches the space system, collided with the basic operating principle of such papyrus, making it impossible to record in it.

‘Spatial interference is a work that must be handled extremely elaborately and delicately, and it is understandable that the artifacts and techniques of the two systems that have already been completed collide. but… … .’

On the contrary, there was no doubt that this was a problem that had to be resolved in order for Lennok to use the flashing technique without worrying about consuming mana.

It was a task far more worthy of being done than inflating the amount of mana to an absurd level or drastically reducing the mana consumption of space-based magic.

And if you put together the new abilities Lennok had acquired so far, it wasn’t impossible.

wheein… … !!

Carefully place your hand over the papyrus page and draw a small circle with your finger.

Another incantation bottle [Feigenbaum’s Eye] inserted into his finger illuminates the imaginary dimension and forcibly opens another space on top of the papyrus.

I’m going to have a good time… … .!!

By overloading Feigenbaum’s pupils that observe the imaginary number dimension, it can directly interfere with the imaginary number dimension for only 0.75 seconds.

It is a time close to an instant in terms of human reaction speed, but at the same time as Lennok closes his right eye, the imaginary dimension opens and the papyrus begins to be fixed.

Lennoc’s right demonic eye is an ability developed by imitating Chilchaebo’s demonic eye possessed by Oliviera.

It’s still not comparable to her demonic eye that observes and fixes the results of causality, but it is possible to fix and maintain the ongoing situation with magic.

Woooooooooo!!

A situation in which the passage to the imaginary dimension was opened on the page of a wide scroll and forcibly fixed with the power of the Mystic Eye.

With trembling hands, Lennok began to slowly blow the magic circle of the blinking technique prepared in advance.

Jiggly… … !!

As soon as Jindun’s barrier art schematized beforehand began to apply the boundary line of blinking magic, the sound of tearing paper resounded due to the fierce resistance.

Repulsion between different spatial systems. A side effect that occurs in the process of inserting it using a shortcut on the other side of the imaginary number dimension.

“Whoa… … !!”

Despite the cold wind blowing, thick beads of perspiration flowed nonstop from Lennok’s forehead, wearing a light shirt.

As the gray glow of the imaginary dimension spreads backwards along the arm, it dulls the senses of the fingertips, but on the contrary, the magic circle of flickering begins to be slowly engraved on the surface of the papyrus.

Damn it!

A roar as if a bedrock that had been tightly closed for a long time was splitting.

It is like a precarious balance built up by elaborately grinding all of Lenok’s capacities and methods to the limit.

The moment when the magic method of flickering was completely imprinted on the scroll as if drawn by an invisible hand.

The intense shockwave that exploded from the scroll threw Lennok’s body back.

Paang!!

The figure of Lennok falling from the wall of an isolated high-rise building that was under construction.

[master!!]

Embarrassed, Darby jumped up from her seat and stomped her feet to jump down to the same spot.

Parbat!!

Lennok, who appeared flashing above Darby’s head, grabbed the fox by the scruff of her neck and began to fall dozens of meters down.

“Don’t worry too much.”

[what?]

The cyber spirit tilting its head while being held in Lennok’s arms.

Lennok, clutching at his shirt fluttering in the wind, smiled contentedly as he fell with his back to the ground.

“Because it seems to have been successful.”

[Blink]

The figure of Lennok disappears like a flash in the air.

It doesn’t end once, it flashes twice more in the air, and in an instant, the wind blows through the night sky.

Extend the magician, grab onto a nearby building, and glide. As it was, I used Blink once more to leap into the building and run through the office.

Tadadadak!!

I’m covered in sweat and out of breath, but I don’t stop.

Runs forward wriggling arms and staggering, then jumps into the air using Blink again.

Riding on the wind, he fell through the cold night air.

Wedge love!!

The sound of a sharp wind blowing in my ears. A cold breeze brushing your face.

Even as his lungs exploded, Lennok couldn’t stop laughing.

Even though he used blinking in succession like this, there was not a single change in Lennok’s mana.

As the blinking technique already recorded on the papyrus is consumed instead, Lennok’s body is being moved as it is.

I had to jump according to the distance and speed I had recorded in advance, but I thought I had found a way to temporarily escape the burden of magical power.

My fingers trembled at the thought that I had finally obtained the mobility that I could use in battle.

[Whoa… … You knew you were going to die.]

Darby, who was sitting on Lennok’s shoulder and looking at him, sighed and sagged his shirt collar.

Hugging Dabi, he runs until he runs out of breath, blinks, and leaps again.

Papababat!!

Although Lennok’s body was drenched in sweat as he sped through the air several times.

A confidence bordering on joy spread across his face.

“haha… … !! The preparations are over.”

He turns around holding onto the papyrus that slowly floats in front of his eyes and circles around Lennok.

Lennok, who stepped on the outer wall of the building with one shoe, muttered as he looked down at the far ground below.

“It’s time to go see Madrid.”

* * *

An undeveloped district spread out on the outskirts of a megalopolis. Among them, the coast located at the tip of the southeast continent.

Even though he can’t see the sea yet, the salty smell and the cold sea breeze hit Lennok’s body.

The moment when Lennok, crouching with his hands in his coat pockets, was about to reveal himself slowly, hiding the signs he had been hiding.

“Ban-nim, this way.”

A voice from behind the thick rock quietly called Lennok’s name.

Lennok also naturally nodded and moved towards the other person.

The man checking the equipment with his back leaning on top of the rock, checked Lennok and lowered his head slightly.

Lennok asked quietly as he approached the man.

“agent?”

“This is Sttruman from the field response team. It is an honor to be able to work with an external advisor that I have only heard about.”

A strong impression with short hair. The moderation and demeanor are impressive.

“I heard you were in the Navy.”

“It has been more than five years since I was discharged. In fact, it is difficult to be called a soldier now.”

Strumman answered indifferently, then turned his back and began to move first.

“Let’s go. All preparations have been completed before Ban-nim arrives.”

“The information I gave them in advance would have been this shore, and that was only the approximate location. Have you already guessed something?”

I like the attitude of Sttruman, who exchanged a light greeting or two and went straight to the point.

It would be strange if there was no confidence in that bold move.

Sure enough, Sttruman, who had been walking ahead, quietly nodded.

“Actually, I had no intention of accepting this mission. Even if I put aside the promotion test, which doesn’t mean much to me, I don’t have very good memories of this area.”

“… … .”

“But after hearing that Van-sama might have been a court sage that settled in this area, I had no choice.”

Even though he came to the shore, Strumman’s steps do not go to the sea.

Rather, it was just a small hill with a clear view of the sea, a simple meadow built on the outskirts of a salty sandy beach.

The appearance of hundreds of elongated tombstones erected tightly on the grass.

The name of the deceased and a position that could be used in the military were written on the tombstone worn away by the sea breeze.

Lennok muttered quietly, realizing only then exactly where this place was.

“Cemeteries made for the dead in the navy.”

“If the Warlord has established himself in this area, there must be only one thing he wants.”

Standing in front of hundreds of tombstones, Struman muttered with an indescribable expression.

“It was unbearable to see my friends, who should be at ease, being taken advantage of in such a way.”

“… … .”

It is not difficult to guess what happened before the dissolution of the now-defunct naval power directly under the city government.

Just like Treppen, Lieutenant General of the National Guard, whom Lennok dealt with, the reality is that he loses his scale and power, weakens, and is eventually abandoned like a dog that has been hunted.

Can we say with certainty that it didn’t even happen against the Navy?

Lennok, taking a cigarette from his bosom and putting it in his mouth, turned to Struman and said.

“Thank you for your cooperation. I will contact the agent separately and compensate.”

“… … Would you really mind going alone?”

Struman, who could not easily leave his seat despite Lennok’s words, said hesitantly.

“Team leader Marcia told me to think about detaining Ban-nim if the scene looks too dangerous.”

“Didn’t we just meet?”

Lennok laughed.

“Yes. In fact, I never said this to my colleagues even when I was in the Navy.”

Strumman also scratched his head with an embarrassed expression.

“Team Leader Marcia will be very sad.”

“… … .”

Lennok shut up.

Lennok, who had been silently twitching with an unlit cigarette, patted Struman on the shoulder and stood up.

“I will try my best to prevent such an unfortunate incident from happening.”

“… … If you go down to the 6 o’clock in the center of the cemetery, there will be an ossuary going underground. It’s the way the disbanded naval command favored it.”

After saying that, Struman took a step back and bowed his head.

“I wish you luck.”

He is someone who knows how to save his words even though he has more to say.

He must have been an outstanding soldier in the National Guard.

It must be a counter-proof that the situation of the National Guard at the time was so poor that even such a man could not hold out for long.

Considering the downfall of Lieutenant General Treffen and the existence of the newly established Air Force in the city government, it was not difficult to guess the story behind it.

Lennok neatly put those sentiments aside and turned his gaze toward the cemetery.

“Whoa… … .”

I can’t stop even though I know that the other person is walking into the prepared mouth.

After all, it was up to Lennok to uncover the hidden secret.

If Lennok doesn’t take the risk, the other party will just wait for the ending that never ends, sticking to the attitude they have so far.

I had to move before all those mistakes left me with a handful of regrets and spilled over.

No regrets. I’ve always convinced myself with different excuses and unreasonable reasons, but it’s probably because I fully accepted the desire to leave a meaning in every moment.

All possible preparations have been completed.

From now on, it was a matter solely up to Lennok himself.

rattle!!

Downward direction of the huge headstone placed in the center of the cemetery.

As you spread your magic power through the cracks in between, the stairs leading to the basement naturally appear.

After confirming that Sttruman had disappeared before he knew it, Lennok immediately moved down the stairs.

As the figure of the wizard in the coat disappears below the ground, the moon tilts slightly and changes its angle.

Soon after, hundreds of tombstones disappeared like ghosts, leaving only a secluded meadow.

saaaa… … .

The evening breeze gently brushed the grass and disappeared.

* * *

Step on the cold stone steps and go down into the endless underground space.

As Lennok went down the stairs, he slowed down, noticing the sudden change in position he felt through his sensory spheres.

‘Space Warp… … Sorcerers close to level 8 use it like breathing. Is it a way to change the interior location by placing only the entrance in the sea area?’

Every time he took a step, Lenok’s own coordinates, which he checked with magic, jumped quickly and quickly moved out of the sea.

‘I’m by no means an ordinary military commander. Then what the hell… … ?’

How a magician from the military command city of Yorta could exert such a powerful influence on the decision-making of a megalopolis.

What is the meaning of this huge cemetery and charnel house that Lennok is passing through?

It must be an opportunity to check all the reasons and meanings.

Resolutely, Lennok’s gait changed even more quickly, and he stopped in front of a stone door that appeared at the end of the stairs leading to the endless underground.

“You are young.”

Percussion!!

It was because a dwarf old man who had appeared in front of the stone door before he knew it was smiling quietly at Lennok.

“Young and full of blood. It’s a longing that has been difficult to face in recent decades.”

“That face… … .”

Lennok frowned, realizing that standing in front of him was the same old man who had given instructions to the participants just before the start of the grimoire gang’s race.

Despite Lennok’s reaction, the old man didn’t care and spoke again.

“I never thought I would refuse the offer and try to find my place of rest myself. His ambition is commendable, but what is more surprising is the ability itself to turn that wild idea into a meaningful fruit.”

A faint admiration that could not be hidden appeared on the old man’s face as he looked at Lennok.

“I’m not generous enough to allow uninvited guests, but if you wanted to charm me, that’s good judgment. To think that they would find this sea area and come down to the entrance of the charnel house with just one encounter.”

“… … .”

“good night. A gift should be given to a child who finds an answer even though he did not present a problem.”

At the same time as the old man turned his back, the stone door of the charnel house began to open.

The old man glanced back at Lennok and moved on.

“Follow me. I, too, have prepared the answer you want.”
