Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 133



“Heo-eok, heo-eok!!”

Yard Marlingson branch leader of Scavenger District 43 thought as he frantically played with his feet.

‘How did this happen?’

As always it was just a simple task.

It’s just a matter of attaching a number to an unknown cargo transporting it to the railway station and collecting the freight fee.

Although some time has passed since the city government’s inspection ended the stiff atmosphere on this street has not yet gone away.

That’s why I’ve been so careful and only take on tasks that I think are safe to get caught in.

Of course in the process they killed a few passers-by and looted nearby stores but that was just a charm compared to what they had been doing so far.

Today after receiving the money I planned to wash off the bloody smell by drinking heavily at a club in District 40 with the guys below me.

Until a skinny guy shows up and ruins everything.

Kwaaaang!!

The barricade built with all kinds of objects was broken and the scavengers who had been trying to break the door in front turned into pieces of meat and flew into the air.

“Kwaaaa!!”

“A monster!!”

“The crazy guy is here!!”

Before they got here there were more than a dozen scavengers who couldn’t even leave a corpse.

A bright blue light covers my eyes.

Puzzle!!

Those who confidently took out their tools and set out to attack their opponents were unable to withstand the lightning that struck the top of their heads and were instantly reduced to ashes.

The entire force of the 43rd Scavenger Branch which numbered hundreds of people was completely destroyed.

The power of the scavenger which rushed like a swarm of ants in front of the wizard who freely unleashed lightning in his hands had no effect at all.

Doo doo doo!!

As soon as Yard saw the lightning that was hurtling through the air split into dozens of pieces and rained down he gave up everything and ran away.

“Great leader…!!”

“You traitor!!”

I run like crazy ignoring the desperate screams coming from behind.

I inhaled greedily ignoring the acrid smell that stung my nose.

“Hehe hehe hehe…!!”

Even though he is drooling his feet do not stop moving.

Fearing that I might be chased I changed my running direction here and there struggling to somehow get away from the station.

“Huh?

As soon as I think I’ve run away enough my tense body suddenly relaxes and fatigue sets in.

Yad clutched his pounding chest and slowly sat down against the wall to catch his breath.

‘They’re probably all dead.’

They say that there will be a way if we just all approach together and attack them all at once while the magic is being chanted.

The subordinates said such false things but they were all bullshit.

Yad knew very well who that skinny magician with lightning was.

He is the person who has been gaining fame most rapidly in the 40th district recently.

Supernova who was not only scouted by dinosaur companies like Dyke but also received love calls from elite organizations like agents was present here.

Not long after he started working as a freelancer there was a rumor that he single-handedly killed the head of Scavenger District 50.

Except for his stupid subordinates who were just roasted by lightning.

“Fuck I can’t believe I was working with those idiots who didn’t even recognize their faces…”

Yard let out a low curse and stood up on his shaky legs.

Although he is nowhere near that crazy wizard he is also a skilled magic user in his own right as he is the head of the Scavenger branch.

Fighting from the front would have been suicidal but he was adept at running away using his foolish colleagues as shields.

“I just have to live. “If only I lived…”

Once you get your body back on track there is a way to survive.

In fact most of Branch 43’s power has been lost but there are trash to replace scavengers scattered throughout this city.

If you come up with a suitable excuse and report it to the leadership and the yard directly replenishes the missing personnel the higher-ups will not have much of an issue.

The Scavengers were an organization that operated that way from the beginning.

It was like proof that Yard Manningson understood these hyena-like beetles so well.

The moment Yad slowly caught his breath and tried to get up.

The sound of slow footsteps coming from behind.

“……”

Has it already caught up? What about the other subordinates?

No there is no need to think. Everyone is probably already dead.

The moment Yard realized that running away was impossible his body moved instinctively.

It’s shaky…!!

The moment I lower my posture and turn around a flash of light passes by my cheek.

Before I could even realize that I had avoided death by a single piece of paper I rushed towards him and pulled out a dagger from my arms.

The sword body that he received in return for saving the life of an old blood mage a long time ago was an ominous object marked with blood but Yad remembered what the old man had said back then when he prayed for his life.

The fruit of human sacrifice made by grinding up human bones and flesh. Although it is only used once it contains the essence of blood magic that can completely nullify the opponent’s magic.

If only I could pierce the lightning it emits and dig into its embrace…!!

I open my eyes with the greatest concentration and earnestness of my life.

It’s coming.

A ray of blue electricity devastates the retina.

I stretched out my hand before I even felt it coming.

I was convinced before I even stretched out my arms all the way.

Cut it out.

Suddenly!!

A faint path found among the backflow of lightning where not even a single gap could be seen.

There is no longer any hatred or anger on Yad’s face as he moves towards the gap narrower than the eye of a needle.

There is nothing but a healthy sense of improvement that moves forward in life.

Beyond the lightning that was cut off in a trance my vision returned to normal.

Yard blinked as he faced the blunt muzzle of the shotgun.

“…Huh?”

Kwaaaang!!

What came out of the shotgun in the skinny wizard’s hand was not a bullet.

A shock wave like a cannonball.

His body fell to the floor in vain to the point where all the options that Yard had risked his life to find became meaningless.

The moment I realized that my entire lower body had been blown away was when the cold air of the railway station began to sting my internal organs.

Wizard Lennok looking down at Yad’s twitching face said.

“It was good concentration.”

“Haha… fuck.”

Yard laughed helplessly realizing that there was no chance of winning from the beginning.

This is a foul.

A wizard who scatters such powerful lightning can also carry a shotgun with such ridiculous power.

There are degrees of being cautious. As always the world is better for those who have it.

Would the story have been different if that weapon had been in Yard’s hands?

Now it doesn’t really matter.

Yad muttered as he slowly closed his eyes.

“I cut the lightning….”

Yard Marlingson. Scavenger 43 branch leader. Age 37.

At the last moment of his life he falls asleep while reciting achievements that no one has ever achieved.
