    Cogwheel (3)

    bang!!

    There isn’t even a foreshadowing. A few blurry flashes of light flashed in the air and the body of Rundel appeared in front of Lennok and danced on the spot.

    Doo doo doo doo doo!!!

    The attack speed is so fast that it is difficult to detect with the eyes.

    Rundel’s movement rotates as if interrupted and Rennok’s new form which is stuck between the buildings is violently pressed down to the ground.

    Immediately I used a magician to keep my balance and hit the top of my head with lightning but the ground nearby began to collapse so easily that my counterattack was in vain.

    “…!!”

    It is not a matter of being pushed back by the momentum of the magic power wielded by each other or that the opponent’s level is extremely high.

    Every time the magic power wielded by Rundel and Lennok explodes in all directions the ground near where Lennok stands collapses and falls endlessly.

    [Did you know that there is an abandoned coal mine underneath this street?]

    Rundel was whispering above Lennok.

    [They say it was a facility that was used before this city was even built. I did some work for half a day while waiting for you to come.]

    Even though the whole body was moving vigorously mechanical sounds were released leisurely unaffected by breathing.

    [It won’t be bad to have fun together.]

    “That’s what it means to be prepared…!”

    Kwaang!!

    The ground which was constantly collapsing suddenly broke through the boundary creating a huge pit and two people fell into the spacious underground coal mine beneath it.

    Darkness where you can’t even see an inch in front of you. However what is more surprising is the underground space itself which is so vast that it is impossible to properly measure it even with the power of magic detection.

    [Alpha Light]

    Lennok raised a source of blinding light into his hands and immediately threw it onto the coal mine.

    Paaaa!!

    A small but powerfully shining light source slowly fell from the air scattering light everywhere and only then did I begin to see the surroundings properly.

    A huge underground cavity in the shape of a cylinder. A spiral staircase runs along the wall.

    Considering the extremely simple and primitive form of transportation it seems clear that Lundel’s words are not entirely false.

    However what bothers me is the depth of the coal mine itself where the bottom is not visible even though it is illuminated so brightly.

    I didn’t know what was down there and I had no intention of falling.

    grasp!

    A long spear protruded from Lennok’s sleeve and stuck in the wall of the coal mine.

    A spear brought as a trophy from the Bardiche Brotherhood. Although it lost its effectiveness as an artifact its durability was considerable so Lennok kept it for a while.

    He nails the window pole into the wall casts a floating spell on his coat levitates his body and hangs on the window pole.

    Wedge!!

    Immediately after that Rundel’s body fell at high speed and stuck to the wall like a spider casting its gaze towards Lennok.

    Two people hanging on either side of the walls of the coal mine looked at each other at the same time and concentrated their magic.

    Lennok muttered adjusting the tobacco in his mouth with his other hand.

    “You didn’t just ignorantly replace your entire body with a machine. “Is that what you meant by researching magic engineering?”

    I step through the narrow stairs on the nearby wall.

    “Improvement of the body to interpret techniques. In addition is it coexistence with the human body to preserve a source of magical power?”

    [It was not wrong to say that he was the most talented magician in the underbelly of the Balkans.]

    Rundel who had his arms and legs pinned against the wall asked in a slightly surprised tone.

    [In the meantime have you figured out the identity of the technique I am using? ]

    “If something happens that shouldn’t have happened there’s no need to look elsewhere for the cause.”

    Lennok who took a deep breath of smoke answered.

    “Space class… I can’t believe I succeeded in mastering that technique. “Is that the essence of magical engineering you pursue?”

    [flaw….]

    It was only after the battle began that Rundel realized that he was touching space beyond simply using strange techniques.

    The moment he kicked Lennok’s shield instead of being shattered it flew backwards and arrived at the intended location of the coal mine.

    In the meantime when Lennok’s shield encountered an impact that exceeded its limit it broke on the spot and was not pushed away.

    This is because the shield which has been continuously improved has been adjusted so that any impact beyond the level surrounding the body does not affect the caster’s body.

    However Rundel just ignored all such adjustments and kicked Lennok away with his shield.

    This is impossible without going beyond simply interfering with the technique and interfering with the space itself where the shield exists.

    [To be precise I am not touching the space directly. By activating the previously improved magic factors we roughly embody the appearance of the imaginary dimension. The recall rate is approximately 5%.]

    “….”

    [If you create a simple space like that you can physically ‘push out’ the space. how is it?]

    Lundel asked.

    [Isn’t this an incredible achievement achieved without any spatial techniques?]

    “That’s amazing.”

    Lennok agreed.

    Although Rundel’s explanation was difficult it was not difficult for Lennok who had begun to dabble in space to understand.

    As a result of direct research on the imaginary dimension a non-existent space called simple space was realized.

    Even if the simple space created in this way does not function as a proper space it is possible to push out other spaces.

    Even though Rundel cannot directly manipulate space he has been using it to create a simple space that is infinitely close to the real thing and to push other spaces out.

    It’s like putting a balloon in water and pushing out other water.

    Although it is something so different and simple that it is difficult to call it a real space it is nevertheless able to push out the real space as an aftereffect of its existence.

    The strange movements he had shown so far and the first strike that blew away Lennok’s shield must have been part of it.

    [Using this method I could twist the laws of physics in directions you couldn’t predict and rip off your head.]

    Rundel pulled out the blade again between his palms and slowly stood up.

    He stood with his feet perpendicular to the wall as if he were not affected by gravity spread his arms wide and spoke.

    [So if you don’t want to die now show me your full potential. How long do you plan on hiding it?]

    “You seem to be misunderstanding something. “What they just showed me wasn’t a weapon that could kill me but it seemed like an amazing catching technique.”

    Lennok laughed sharply throwing a burnt-out piece of tobacco through the darkness on the floor.

    “If you want to extract my data you’re going to have to work a lot harder than this.”

    [The Aspect Wizard who has reached level 7 cannot understand what is being said…]

    Tuk!

    Rundel’s body which was standing on the wall falls into the darkness of the coal mine.

    At that moment dozens of bright red lights emerged from the darkness underground in the coal mine and illuminated Lennok.

    [I told you I was prepared.]

    Immediately afterwards the laser fired changed into dozens of red rays and stirred up the coal mine.

    Jijijijijijijing!!!

    Dozens of dark red laser beams rising upside down from underground in the coal mine rotated dizzyingly and indiscriminately bombarded the walls inside the coal mine.

    Heat that clearly reaches the skin even without direct contact.

    The enormous amount of heat and impact instantly shattered the stairs carved on the wall of the coal mine and countless rock derbies fell to the floor.

    All traces of destruction are swept away and destroyed by lasers fired from all directions before they even reach the bottom of the coal mine.

    Through the blinding light of the laser Lennok was able to see with his own eyes the identity of something that existed underground in the coal mine.

    Dozens of long thick mechanical tentacles curved like snakes.

    It was thick enough to swallow a sizeable car.

    It wriggles and convulses strangely at the bottom of the coal mine and eventually spits out a powerful laser beam from the tip of its head.

    Hundreds and thousands of wires were connected to the floor supporting the tentacles and flowing somewhere in the bottom of the coal mine.

    widely!

    After checking that far Lennok immediately let go of the spear he was holding.

    At the same time he canceled the floating magic and threw himself upside down into the underground mine.

    Dozens of lasers bend and attack from all directions at once as if waiting.

    However this time instead of touching the shield Lennok folded his hands together and instantly began forming a summoning spell.

    A summoning magic that I have become somewhat familiar with through my research with Aris.

    Although it is impossible to summon a summoned animal in its true nature it is enough to summon the item that Lennok is carrying to this location.

    Gagagagak!!!

    Surrounding Lennok’s body with his arms crossed a haze appeared as if space had become distorted and a pile of shells of unknown shape began to surround Lennok.

    The laser bombardment hits the armor with great heat but the destructive power that was felt until now fades away without being able to pierce the carapace to the point where it feels awkward and meaningless.

    A chunk of shell fell from the air and landed in the basement of the coal mine.

    Couuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut!!!

    A vibration so large that it shook the entire coal mine.

    Due to the impact of the fall some of the mechanical tentacles that were shooting towards Lennok were damaged and some of them started to attack other tentacles and eat away at their own flesh while trying to pierce the carapace.

    Only then did Rundel realize that something was going wrong and stopped the tentacle’s laser.

    Damn it…!!

    The pile of shells opened wide and Lennok slowly walked out through them.

    As Lennok stepped on the floor full of electric wires he already had another piece of fresh tobacco in his mouth.

    Rundel who had his back turned to dozens of tentacles spoke in a sour voice.

    [You have some interesting stuff. Thanks to this the stage we had prepared was in vain.]

    It’s not wrong.

    The preparation time was only half a day but the capital Lundel invested for this project was truly enormous.

    The official name of the mechanical tentacle currently used by Rundel is ‘Jenes’ Snake’.

    Although it looks bizarre and simple on the outside it is actually one of the parasitic magic engineering batteries that have autonomous will recognize enemies and fire automatically.

    Generates fission energy using the earth’s intelligence and nearby electricity as power. Its characteristic feature is that it shoots as a laser.

    Even while the laser is being fired the tentacles move freely and the direction of the laser can be freely changed and its power is so strong that even a person with military-level physical ability cannot withstand it.

    Dozens of medium-to-large artillery pieces are considered sufficient to build a position just by installing one. With that in mind the space was compressed to one location and the laser resonated. What kind of power would it be?

    There was no need to say how ridiculous the carapace was which was able to withstand such a laser bombardment.

    [I can see how poorly the battle data was collected. The information that such a shield exists is not even recorded in the database… When this returns I will have to completely review the plan.]

    “It won’t be necessary.”

    Phew!!

    Lennok said as he reverse-summoned a bunch of shells.

    “Because if you investigate this you won’t be able to find out much.”

    The item that Lennok just took out was a piece of armor acquired from Apostle Walter’s body that was not burned even in the flames of the magnetic realm.

    Lennok was wondering how to use that extremely hard and heavy object and after becoming more familiar with summoning magic he planned to carve a summoning circle and use it in this way.

    It was the first time to use it in practice like this but the effect was truly amazing.

    The underground area of ​​the coal mine was already twisted due to the impact of the falling shell.

    However despite Lennok’s words Lundel calmly shrugged his shoulders.

    [Well it seems quite difficult to say that doesn’t it?]

    “….”

    Lennok holds a piece of tobacco in his mouth sweat dripping down his forehead.

    Even though the nearby temperature has been adjusted to a comfortable level through common magic this is still the case.

    This meant that the air in the area was abnormally hot and burning.

    A bunch of lasers rained down continuously from inside the coal mine. The presence of an enormous amount of calories poured out in the aftermath.

    The heat rising in the somewhat closed space circulates inside without being able to escape through the narrow gap in the ceiling.

    If you spend a long time here it wouldn’t be surprising if you suffocated from the thickening heat and dwindling oxygen.

    Considering Rundel’s thoughtfulness he was probably aiming for this point and chose this coal mine as his stage.

    It wasn’t surprising.

    [Time limit. This is my victory wizard.]

    Lundel recited teasingly.

    [Coal mine 900m underground. All the stairs on the wall have collapsed and there is no escape route for you. Even if you have the means to save your life you won’t be able to touch it until you kill me.]

    Rundel began to walk briskly holding the blade he had drawn between his palms.

    [The only thing left is to record in my memory the struggles you make until you die.]

    “I keep thinking about it but do all the guys who changed their heads into machines talk that much?”

    Puzzle!!

    Lennok slowly walked forward holding a long strand of electric current between his fingers.

    A bright blue light illuminated Lennok’s face from below.

    “I would understand if you wanted to talk a lot and turned your tongue into a speaker.”

    [Yes it should be like this.]

    Rundel also let out a hard laugh.

    [This is our wizard’s last dance before he dies. I’m happy to hang out with you!!!]

    Quagwagwagwang!!

    A feast of strangely curved mechanical devices. Between the bundles of wires overlooked by dozens of tentacles two flashes of light bisected the cavity and flashed.

    The figures of Rundel who changes his attack dozens of times in the air as if he is freely moving between spaces and Lennok who attacks by striking dozens of bolts of electricity in all directions.

    Sharp blades and shells constantly flash and explode centered around the wizard who bit the cigar forming a hot storm within the cavity.

    Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-tang!!

    Lundel changes his position without resting even for a moment and Lennok stands up and takes all the attacks coming his way.

    Unrefined magical power burst out from behind the two men without hesitation burning the dark coal mine without stopping.

    Kaga River!!

    Pile of dirt and remnants of hot air falling like rain from the sky.

    I waved my hands ceaselessly not paying attention to the stone dust that was spreading so thickly that I couldn’t see an inch in front of me.

    [Hahaha!! This is truly absurd!]

    Rundel’s body divided into several pieces like remnants and pouring out shouted all at once.

    [Even if you do this almost no data is collected! I don’t know how much the magic structure has been improved so that it can’t be seen!!]

    The reason Rundel came here today was to directly extract Lennok’s data which cannot be interpreted even through technique bias analysis.

    However even while pushing this far and fiercely exchanging attacks and defenses I can’t read anything about the techniques he uses.

    A magic pattern that is infinitely complex and twisted. The more we dig into recognizing and interpreting the pattern the more it continues to twist inside creating a complex chaos.

    It is strange as if it has created a real sense of disorder without any order.

    The simple fact that even a child would know that he prefers lightning and ice-type techniques without any habits or preferred breathing patterns is the only thing that flows into Rundel’s database.

    Even though you are fighting with such a complicated opponent in front of you all you can actually read is dust-sized fragments.

    Kwaang!!

    said Rundel who formed a simple space and kicked Lennok once more sending him flying into the corner of the coal mine.

    [If it keeps becoming boring I can’t help it.]

    Charrrrrrrrr!!

    At the same time dozens of mechanical tentacles rose from beneath his feet glowing dark red and waving behind Rundel’s back.

    [After cutting off the limbs with the disintegration ray we have no choice but to cut the flesh alive and analyze it cell by cell.]

    “….”

    [You brought this on yourself. We have no intention of coming this far and increasing unnecessary variables.]

    “I see.”

    Lennok’s voice rang out from a dark corner of the coal mine.

    “I think the same thing.”

    At that moment the mechanical tentacles that had been swinging behind Rundel’s back all at once began to stagger and slam their heads in a certain direction.

    The direction of the tentacles is exactly where Rundel was standing.

    Charrrrrrrrr!!

    […!!!!!]

    Rundel shocked pushed through the space and escaped the mechanical tentacles but it was already too late.

    The tentacles change their positions in an instant widening the distance from Rundel as if the owner had changed in an instant. Lennok slowly walked out onto the countless piles of wires.

    Only then did Rundel’s suppressed voice escape realizing how things were going.

    [Fuck it no way…!!]

    “Did you say Jeunesse’s snake?”

    Lennok said shaking off his coat and wiping the sweat from his forehead.

    “The idea of ​​recognizing the existence of the coal mine in advance and stopping me to death was a good idea.”

    [How on earth!!]

    “But then you should have also paid attention to their security. “It was a lot more sloppy than I thought.”

    [Even if I tried to hack the control it only took less than 5 minutes…!! Even assuming the magician’s computing power it would have been impossible in such a short period of time!!]

    “Being good at using machines isn’t something only you can do.”

    Magic engineering research group Gearside. There is no doubt that its technological prowess powerful firepower thorough preparation ability and high intelligence are all extremely threatening.

    However the presence of the Thunder Spirit with Lennok made all those barriers meaningless and had enough power to outwit Gearside.

    Weeeeeee!!

    The laser bullets shining at the tips of the tentacles all turn towards Rundel and begin to warm up.

    Lennok laughed as he looked at Rundel who was backing away little by little.

    “Then now it’s my turn.”
