    Cogwheel (1)

    Dray and Wayan. Kidel and Ike. Mad Manson Training and Asui. Even the faces of Panoa and Killian blood mage Rayan Eiter who came from Dyke.

    All of the people gathered here are military officers equivalent to level 6 or have an aptitude for a specialty that is comparable to that level.

    It would be much more convenient to take them and cooperate with this matter rather than having to deal with the people who had gathered at Mayer’s call.

    In particular Dray’s expression looked quite complicated as he knew that his past comrades were involved in this matter.

    But Lennok shook his head even though he clearly guessed that.

    “Once the operation begins there is a high possibility that confusion will increase among outlying areas. “It would be a good idea to leave spare power within the company in case of an emergency.”

    “It’s not wrong but….”

    “Agent and Representative Meyer also hired separate freelancers for this operation. “If they have planned the strategy and selected suitable members there is no reason not to use it.”

    Clap clap clap!!

    Lennok said as he placed the disassembled rechargeable shotgun on the bar table and quickly assembled it.

    With Lennok’s incredible dexterity it would not be surprising if he lost dozens of parts but fixing them with magic thread and assembling the shotgun itself was not very difficult.

    Lennok nodded as he looked at the shotgun that was disassembled and reassembled in an instant.

    Jenny looking at that scene sighed deeply.

    “I don’t want to criticize the decision you made but… haha I don’t know what’s going on with this one.”

    She frowned as she flicked her curly hair back.

    “All I can do is gather information from Gearside and nearby Pandemonium members. “It would be nice if it ended well without any major incidents but…”

    “That’s enough.”

    Scream!!

    He casts the shrinking spell on the shotgun again and instantly shrinks the shotgun to the size of a finger and hangs it inside his coat sleeve.

    Lennok who finished checking the last remaining equipment immediately stood up from the bar.

    “The Antares office will also begin to move separately for this matter. “Considering their military capabilities it won’t take long.”

    As he walked out of the bar and was seen off by the others the cold air of dawn greeted Lennok.

    I looked at the breath escaping from between the corners of my mouth and took out a cigarette from my arms.

    Lennok sitting on the bike parked in the open space behind the bar immediately pulled the spark and grabbed the throttle.

    Woooooo!!

    An intense engine sound that makes your stomach tremble.

    Lennok slowly lowered his posture breathing in the noise that echoed through the early morning air.

    As soon as Dabi wags his tail in Lennok’s arms the AI ​​interface activates and draws a map.

    [Shall we go?]

    Buaaaa!!

    The new model of the bike turned into a flash of light and shot out onto the road.

    * * *

    An operation to eliminate National Guard special forces hiding inside the city.

    The operation that the agent operation team including Hina worked together with the congressman’s secretary’s office to devise was simple.

    Analyzing the composition of the fiber of the National Guard uniforms secured through previous battles only high-quality materials that are not easily used in outlying areas are classified separately.

    A large-scale spell was activated using the classified fibers as a medium.

    They gathered together all the shamans they could contact within the megacity and established an artificial link created through shamanism to the outskirts.

    Although it is impossible to find the location of each individual in the vast area of ​​the 4th and 50th division with this alone it is possible to estimate the approximate whereabouts and narrow down the route by observing the noise pattern generated when the spell comes into contact with the target.

    After investing approximately 30 hours we succeeded in narrowing down the whereabouts of the National Guard Special Forces members to the area around Areas 48 and 52.

    Those involved in the shadows who had decided to participate in this operation were organized into several groups and made to search each area.

    Ta-ta-tang!!!

    “I found it!”

    “Track it right away!!”

    thud!!

    “Don’t miss it!”

    Even from the intelligence unit’s point of view there is no way they would miss out on the fact that those who were originally targeted for obtaining data come to visit on their own accord.

    The members unaware that an operation was underway against them naturally began fighting and immediately transmitted the secured location to several individuals.

    “Taking time!!”

    “If you hold on just a little longer anyone will come!!”

    [Wait no way support from the beginning…!!]

    Buaaaa!!

    Before Daewon who belatedly realized what was wrong could hurriedly shout the heavy wheel of the bike that came out right next to him crushed Daewon’s new model causing blood to splatter.

    Wow!!

    [Quaaaaa!!]

    Even in that situation the crew member who was struggling without losing consciousness tried to escape somehow and plan his next move but was only crushed to pieces by the flash of a shotgun that exploded from above the bike.

    Taaaang!! Taaaang!!

    Lennok who silenced the other struggling members by firing two more shots in succession then turned around.

    “Who ran away?”

    Donovan who was holding a heavy weapon responded immediately to the bloody momentum.

    “There were five when I found it. “They probably ran away.”

    “Two.”

    Doo doo doo doo!!

    Lennok said gripping the throttle.

    “I can guess who it is.”

    There are two signs moving away in different directions from the nearby sensory area.

    Did they realize that staying together in this urgent situation was a problem in itself?

    Without hesitation Lennok drove his bike straight out of the narrow alley.

    The other freelancers who were staring blankly at the back let out empty laughs.

    “The guys who were struggling so fiercely were only hit with a bike and three shotguns….”

    “There is a difference in skill but I never thought it would be this much.”

    Just now in the process of tracking down the intelligence unit members who were moving as a group of five people they entered into battle and were repeatedly retreating.

    The soldiers were not only skilled in handling firearms but also showed remarkable superiority in weapon techniques and box fighting techniques in close combat clearly demonstrating the strength of trained superhumans.

    He was unable to even resist a few attacks from Lennok who appeared right next to him and gave up his life.

    However instead of being surprised Donovan calmly said while checking his hand cannon.

    “Don’t say that but look at our communication network now.”

    “what?”

    “If you check the performance reports that are coming in now you will be able to understand who this operation is centered around from the beginning.”

    Those who heard those words immediately took out their cell phones scrolled through the communication screen and slightly opened their mouths.

    [Three Area 50 members killed. Two traces: half]

    [Five Area 52 members killed. Set tracking: Illya]

    [Two Area 49 members killed. [Eight Chase: Rundel]

    [A member of Area 50 is killed. Track One: Rundel]

    [Two Area 51 members killed. Net tracking: half]

    [Two Area 51 members killed. Set tracking: half]

    [Three Area 51 members killed. Moving: Half]

    [A member of Area 51 is killed. Moving: Illya]

    ….

    In the performance reports constantly posted on my cell phone only three people’s names were visible.

    Donovan also muttered while looking down at his phone.

    “It’s a tactic of giving a lot of information to three people with overwhelming skills and expecting results. So to speak we can be said to be the buoys that bring that amount of information in this matter.”

    But even so the fact that Lennok a wizard is keeping up with the mobility of the other two physically capable people is ridiculous.

    Donovan knew very well that this kind of performance report would not have been possible without his crazy bike riding skills that seemed to ignore the distance.

    “Even if that’s the case Ilya and Rundel are also amazing.”

    “This is the first time I’ve heard of both of these names… Are you sure they’re not freelancers?”

    “yes.”

    Donovan nodded with a serious expression.

    “Rather that is the biggest problem in this operation.”

    * * *

    Area 51. An abandoned building parking lot full of trash.

    Lennok was sitting on his bike lighting a cigarette.

    With the rechargeable shotgun resting on his shoulder he quickly scrolls through the mobile phone network screen with one hand.

    In the performance report automatically recorded on the screen there are only three names including Lennok.

    [All tracking signals in this area have disappeared. The remaining member in front of you is the last one.]

    “The progress is faster than expected. “I think I can finish it in half a day and move on to the next step.”

    “Ugh…!”

    Lennok grabbed the handle of the shotgun as he looked at the injured member rolling around.

    Slam!

    [Autoload]

    [Orbit Correction]

    [Fast charging 300%]

    [In a bunch of pellets]

    [Single-point shooting]

    Wow!!

    In the blink of an eye pale magic light streams out through the barrel of a shotgun that has over five types of auxiliary magic stacked up.

    The moment when I was about to pull the trigger towards the head of the fallen operator.

    “…for a moment.”

    Lennok’s eyes shone sharply.

    [Master?]

    “The color of the epaulettes on the shoulders of the suit is slightly different. “Even if there isn’t much difference on the outside you can still see it in the dark.”

    “profit!!”

    He puts away the shotgun and immediately pulls out the magician.

    “I have to take him alive. “I might have some other information.”

    The moment when Lennok was trying to weave the struggling body of a member of the magician.

    Wedge!!

    A high-speed flash of light flew from behind and directly hit the agent’s head.

    A spear blade that sheds an alien brilliance. Although it clearly has the shape of a blade it cannot be clearly seen.

    The short spear fired at high speed pierced through the crew vibrated violently and scattered traces of blood everywhere.

    Parrr!!

    “Gagging…!!”

    “….”

    The crew member died after groaning in pain that exceeded his limit. Lennok’s eyes sank coldly after seeing that.

    The keen eye and hand speed of taking advantage of the momentary opportunity to use the magician are remarkable but the sight of the member dying is also unusual.

    The javelin itself which had already been thrown vibrated violently completely damaging the victim’s internal organs.

    Beyond martial arts or arts using magical power it is difficult to do without completely modifying the equipment itself.

    Push!

    At that moment the javelin that had pierced Daewon’s body rose into the air and instantly began to return to where it had come from.

    Instead of looking at it foolishly Lenok turned his magician that had already been extended and grabbed the javelin in an instant.

    Charrrrrrr!!

    “This is…”

    Only when you stop in the air and check its appearance can you get a rough idea of ​​its appearance.

    An abnormally elongated spear blade that is approximately half the height of a human being.

    It has an extremely simple appearance made solely for remote operation with no handles or blade rests.

    Even now that it has been captured by a magician the spear itself is vibrating violently maximizing the destructive power it has created.

    Dabi scanned the blade in an instant and pulled out the answer from the database.

    [This is a remote-operated specialized sphere created by combining single-molecule cutting and ultra-vibration cutting technology. It is a product that combines several durable and rare metals to raise the magic conductivity to the limit.]

    “It’s ultra-vibration cutting….”

    [Even assuming that the workshop’s technology has been reached it is a very high quality item. For an artificially created artifact this is equipment made with incredible care. It seems like most magic users would be unable to even control it.]

    An item that is a dense concentration of magic engineering technology rather than simple magic.

    Proportionally Dabi’s explanation continues without knowing the end.

    Let’s go!!

    Spear who was violently resisting while bound by the magician broke Lennok’s bonds.

    The result is that the cutting force has been increased to an extreme level through vibrations so great that they cannot be counted with the naked eye. The few strands of magic thread pulled out to capture a wounded unit member were not enough to capture him.

    The spear running through the parking lot instantly flies over the inner wall of the building and returns to its owner.

    Naturally Lennok’s gaze followed him and moved upward.

    On the uneven interior wall of the building. A woman is hanging like a spider from a vertical height of tens of meters looking down.

    The figure clinging to the wall with strangely shiny hair hanging down was so foreign that it did not look like the same person.

    Five spears of the same shape were floating behind her as she looked down wearing a visor that obscured her facial expression.

    “….”

    Hanging on the wall her and Lennok’s eyes naturally meet.

    Even without speaking we knew who each other was.

    Illya from Cybrid Echo.

    The person who had monopolized the performance reporting window with Lennok and killed the National Guard members just a moment ago had appeared in front of Lennok.

    The party who stopped Donovan’s windbreaker who was trying to give Lennok all the compensation for this incident and changed the atmosphere of the meeting room.

    He was also a key figure suspected of being instigated by lawmakers other than Mayer in this operation.

    “I guess they decided to keep him alive and report anything unusual instead of killing him.”

    Lennok said as he watched Ilya jump off the wall and lightly walk towards him.

    Even though she fell from a height of dozens of meters her movements seemed as light as a feather.

    “What’s the point of an operation if you’re not going to stick to what was agreed upon in advance?”

    “I only carried it out because I judged that it would not be a big problem if I killed him.”

    Jiing!

    Illya’s face didn’t show even an ounce of agitation as she raised her visor.

    “This is a case I have never seen before among the crews I have encountered so far. “It is possible that he was a team leader or had a direct line to command.”

    Lennok glanced down at the dead body of the member.

    “They turned the body into a mush so even if you search through your belongings it will be difficult to find anything.”

    “….”

    “It seems closer to destroying evidence than carrying out an operation.”

    The gazes of the two people clashed sharply and the air around them suddenly became cold.

    This is because Lennok’s statement just now was tantamount to suspicion about the fundamental reason for Illya’s participation in this operation.

    At first glance this statement seems extremely radical. However this was something that had been announced in advance before the operation began.

    Palad and Hina also demanded stern action against the strange behavior of those suspected of being instigated by other lawmakers.

    If Illya is planning to interfere with this operation at the instigation of another city council member it would be wise to cut her off before the operation to take over the fortress begins.

    Lennok looks sharply at Illya’s face who does not respond.

    ‘Five ultra-vibrating spears. Considering the combat style of controlling everything remotely there is a possibility that it is surprisingly vulnerable to long-distance combat.’

    In my head I had already assessed the weapons and power she had and calculated how to attack first.

    ‘Punch a high-firepower weapon right in front of your nose and watch the reaction to decide on a successor. When considering the weapon used you should also consider the possibility of being dragged deep into a parking lot and narrowing your range of movement…’

    Considering the mobility that allows it to stick to walls at will the strangely powerful cutting power and the precise ability to manipulate a spear it is a style that is most efficient when there is ample space.

    Of course changing the environment a little won’t drastically reduce your combat ability but you can never ignore minor variables and psychological factors at this level of ability.

    While Lennok was thinking of ways to defeat his opponent here Ilya who was staring at his face quietly shook her head.

    “The National Guard intelligence unit I just killed. “Even if we interrogated him we wouldn’t have been able to get any meaningful information.”

    “What does it mean?”

    “Wearing epaulettes that can only be checked at night means that you are an intelligence soldier dedicated to transmitting data through the magnetic storm of a large city that weakens at night… A transmitter who simply sends the obtained data to the headquarters. “It would have been impossible to achieve meaningful results from this.”

    “….”

    “Killing them as quickly as possible is a way to prevent the collection of combat data.”

    An overly specific explanation. This was an impossible story if one did not know the purpose and methods of the National Guard.

    To be precise about the mastermind behind this incident who is hiding behind the National Guard headquarters.

    Lennok’s gaze sank deeply.

    “Do you know why the National Guard is collecting data like this?”

    “I can guess to some extent. “It is a method that those at the forefront of bionic engineering in the Machine City once tried and failed again.”

    “….”

    “Gearside… We must prevent the heretical technology that splintered from the machine city of Machina from being used in the wrong direction.”

    Ilya continued speaking while looking at Lennok with unwavering gaze.

    “That would be the duty given to us Cybrid Echo who was given the blueprint for the Ascension Gate.”
