Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 308



Cogwheel (4)

A cold fog settles down on the outskirts of the road at dawn.

The asphalt surface which had been dug up here and there and had been silent suddenly turned red and dozens of lasers exploded into the sky.

Quaaaaaaa!!

Two human figures sticking out from the explosion.

Rundel whose entire body was in tatters and Lennok who followed him dripping with sweat.

Lennok took out a candle took a breath and laughed.

“Didn’t you say you were planning on holding on until I suffocated to death? “I’m impatient.”

[Huh I was already breathing while filtering out the heat…]

“You have a good sense of humor.”

Craddeudeudeuk!!

As soon as Lennok’s words fell dozens of mechanical tentacle derbies crawled up the broken asphalt and glared at Rundel at the same time.

A bright red laser shined through the mouths of dozens of snakes as thick as a car.

A pile of tentacles spread out like a peacock. However that scene was intended and created by Lundel himself.

Rundel let out a laugh as he looked at the snake that had now turned its mouth towards him.

[I cut all the wires long ago but they’re still moving like this… What on earth are you doing?]

Installable heavy equipment parasitic magic battery Jeunesse’s Snake.

Although its power and ability to make arbitrary judgments are truly enormous it has an inherent limitation in that it does not operate unless it is installed in place and supplied with a power source.

However Lennok ignored such shortcomings and raised the batteries installed underground in the coal mine to the ground to push Rundel.

Lennok who was staring at Rundel said with a grin.

“It’s taking over the role of a battery.”

It’s so scary!!!

The electricity that flowed from Lennok’s hands flowed precisely into the bottom of the pile of severed mechanical tentacles.

A perfect conversion without a single error using power that matches the tentacle’s specifications and purpose.

At the same time the defense system of the tentacle that Dabi subdued is reset to target Rundel.

[Fuck you…!!]

The laser fired from Jeunesse’s snake along with Rundel’s death covered the entire outer road and swept along the center line.

Kwagwagwagwa!!

A long rain of lasers shoots from behind. Lennok who was comfortably watching Rundel running away like crazy asked Dabi.

“Dabi. “Are you done with the analysis?”

[The output and operating principles of parts with built-in simple space implementation functions have been recorded.]

Dabi immediately answered through Lennok’s earphones.

[However in order to take control of that dog’s body it seems that direct contact is necessary. As an independent system is used hacking is difficult without circuit intervention.]

“I don’t think you need to worry about that.”

Lennok answered turning his attention to Rundel who had disappeared in the laser barrage.

“It looks like he’s running out of energy so he’s going to have a fight sooner or later.”

If we say that this is the last chance Rundel can choose in this situation.

Kwaaaa!!

Isn’t this a very close combat where all power is projected into the simple space?

A simple space leap that flew tens of meters. Rundel growled as he shattered Lennok’s shield with the beam blades pulled from both hands.

[I’m sorry but let’s ignore the data collection.]

“Was that something you should feel sorry for me?”

[Instead if I tear your body apart and take it back wouldn’t your friends in bionics do something?]

Keying!!

The beam blade cuts through Lennok’s shield without hesitation deflecting the barrage of lasers and penetrating into the immediate vicinity.

The shield surrounding Lennok’s body is compressed and rotated to receive the amount of light being emitted.

Good profit!!

With an annoying noise like scraping metal the shield is unnaturally pushed away and Lennok’s bare body begins to be exposed.

[I told you.]

A fleeting moment that burrows into your brain.

Confidence mixed with outright ridicule.

[Is it useless?]

The space occupied by the shield is pushed out into a simple space and its position is reversed.

Pushing out the entire space the positions of the blade and shield are completely transferred. The beam blade wielded by Rundel was shot towards Lennok’s abdomen as if it were being sucked in.

Wow profit!!

Dozens of battles that occur in the blink of an eye. A move that makes the opponent’s attack and defense meaningless by simultaneously calculating the simple space and the space’s density.

If the shield is pushed aside and attacked through momentary spatial interference normal exchange of offense and defense becomes impossible for Lennok.

The unexpected interference with the laws of physics that Lundel spoke of meant exactly this kind of trickery.

No matter how much you try to block Rundel’s attacks with shields and lightning magic if Rundel pushes out the space as he wants you will eventually have no choice but to leave an opening.

In addition if Rundel’s location cannot be properly identified it is impossible for Lennok to block Rundel’s attack in a head-on confrontation.

[Start with the heart!!]

Wedge!!

Rundel appeared behind Lennok in an instant and lightly pushed in the beam blade.

Join our discord and ping me to update more chapters. Discord: https://discord.gg/93rmBjgP6B

Lennok reacted immediately turned the shield back and struck down a lightning strike but all the attack and defense were pushed aside as if leaning to one side.

Conversely Rundel’s blade is curved like a half moon and aims at Lennok’s chest from the front.

It’s a miracle at the level of dividing the space into two and pushing it in two different directions as a single simple space.

If it were someone seeing it for the first time it would be impossible to even react to this deadly move.

However Lennok nodded calmly even as he saw the brilliance of the blade approaching right in front of him.

“As expected.”

[what?]

Wow!!

At that moment the shields that had been pushed to either side of Lennok bent inward in a strange way instantly blocking Rundel’s blade.

Wow!!

[…!!!!]

A near-momentous jersey. However Rundel also realized what Lennok had done and shouted in horror.

[Did they predict the amount of space being pushed and bend the shield accordingly…!!]

If you create a simple space and push the space to one side all you have to do is move the shield and magic that Lenno implemented to match the amount of push.

However this is only possible if one can predict and react to the moment and distance at which space is pushed out.

If you fail to predict even once you will be killed on the spot.

Although Lennok knew how Lundel was trying to strike a critical point he was waiting for his unique spatial interference.

Just to wait for the moment when Rundel is fixed in one space.

A very brief gap where the second attack which was thought to be a special move missed.

Renok’s palm penetrates that momentary gap without hesitation and settles into Rundel’s solar plexus.

As the magic power compressed in the hand rotates the shape drawn is a flame that blooms without knowing any limits.

[Chewing fire]

The essence of firepower compressed to the limit was completely poured into Rundel’s body exploding his massive mechanical body backwards.

Kwaaaaaaa!!!

[──────!!!!]

Rundel who was thrown out of the clearing with an indescribable grotesque roar began to wriggle like crazy on the spot.

[Damn it…!!]

Once heated parts do not cool down easily.

The exoskeleton covering Rundel’s body falls off revealing a bony body with machines attached to it in an instant.

Biological tissue purely to leave behind a source of magical power. The pinnacle of cyborgs whose entire body has been replaced by machines except for some parts.

However its technology and durability were more sophisticated and complete than any others Lennok had seen.

“I think the fact that you just took that attack in its entirety shows what you are.”

Lennok said as he walked out of the clearing.

“I didn’t choose to remodel my entire body and use the essence of that technology to create a simple space. “It’s just the result of changing the whole body for that function.”

[Data transmission function disabled…!! whenever!!]

Looking down at Rundel who was groping his chest in embarrassment Lennok slowly raised his magic power.

“Devoting all of one’s time to the realization of only one function… It is literally a life no different from being a part of a machine.”

A group of madmen who modify their entire bodies to implement the technology they have researched.

The name of the organization Gearside itself clearly proves its purpose and origins.

“I don’t know what you want to do now by joining hands with the National Guard Command but it doesn’t matter.”

Lennok’s left eye which used to glow purple returns to black.

“If you go through the body alive it will be enough to find out something.”

[Aaaaaaa!!]

A scream like a scream.

Immediately after that Rundel’s bony body accelerated explosively and shot towards Lennok.

A deadly blow close to zero hundred that pushes up the entire rear space and creates non-existent speed.

Wow!!

However even that last struggle easily becomes futile in front of Lennok.

Lennok said stopping Rundel’s body as it was shot out of the air.

“It was a very good experience to get a feel for space combat.”

[Persimmon… I see.]

Lundel who only then realized what Lennok had done laughed helplessly.

[You just performed a trick in front of a magician who touched the space directly?]

“….”

[Just parts… Just parts…]

Rundel started to complain in a daze.

Lennok listened to the muttering for a moment and then used the power of Dabi that had penetrated into his body to cut off his consciousness.

The eye light that appears between the mechanical skulls disappears as if extinguished and his limp body is tied up with a magician.

[The taste is strange perhaps because it is a strangely modified power source.]

Only then did Dabi jump up holding the wire between Rundel’s fallen body.

[Should I say it feels slightly cooked?]

“Did you stop the data transmission properly?”

[Because the consciousness data was backed up on the Gearside public network I briefly disabled the transmission and deleted the entire backup data.]

Dabi who hit Rundel’s fallen head with his tail raised his chin and said.

[You will never have to eat this tasteless electricity again.]

“good job.”

Lennok stroked Dabi’s head then hugged her and lifted her up.

The moment he broke Rundel’s space jungle and inserted the axes into his solar plexus Lennok computerized Dabi and threw it straight into Rundel’s body.

This was because I was confident that if the body was to be operated with most of the body replaced by a machine there would be room for the power of the Thunder Spirit to interfere.

The prediction came true and from the moment Rundel’s data transmission function was disabled the battle was already over.

The reason Lennog tolerated Rundel’s final struggle was simply to check whether the space he was manipulating could cope with the jungle of Rundel’s simple space.

After checking up to that point it was enough.

What was important was not only the detection of an internal traitor but also the direct capture of a member of Gearside.

“Send a message to Palad and let him know the situation.”

Lennok said as he turned towards the stopped bike.

I massage my sore shoulders and take out another cigar from my arms.

I lit the fire inhaled a lot of smoke sat down on the bike and sighed.

“I guess you can just tell me that we found evidence of Gearside’s involvement.”

* * *

Agent Headquarters.

A spacious main auditorium located in the basement of the headquarters. The stage with a stepped structure that can easily accommodate hundreds of people stands out.

Pallad standing on the central platform facing the direction of the stairs opened his mouth in a calm tone.

“The identity of 67% of National Guard intelligence agents registered on the city government security network has been verified.”

Faaah!

At the same time countless photos of National Guard members appeared on the screen. More than half of the photos had a bright red X on them.

“We captured and killed almost seven out of ten members of the intelligence unit. Considering that it was a very adventurous operation it was an extremely successful outcome. Of course it cannot be denied that the contributions of those two people were significant.”

It was obvious without needing to say who those two people were.

Even among the countless seats in the main auditorium attention was naturally focused on Ban and Illya who were sitting apart from each other.

Illya had half an expressionless face arms crossed and eyes closed.

“In particular in the case of Ban he achieved a record equal to that of Illya even after encountering Gearside fighters during the operation. “Without further ado let’s check it out ourselves.”

The screen changed and what appeared was camera footage of somewhat poor quality.

A man is shown being held in solitary confinement with heavy restraints placed all over his body.

[Tzuzuzuzuzu!!!]

It’s a rather strange shape that doesn’t even seem to be the same human being.

Although it certainly has a human face and shape all its components have a strange awkward feel that is closer to a machine than to life.

“….”

Illya’s eyes sank deeply after seeing the scene. Lennok didn’t miss that moment and just stared at her.

“You understand why I am revealing this information to you.”

Pallad said.

“Because I thought it was necessary to inform those who cooperated with the operation that this was not just a coup by the National Guard.”

There was silence.

“Gearside. A heretic in magic engineering research who was ostracized even in the machine city of Machina. “An elite group armed with excellent brains and modified bodies.”

Palad continued speaking to the freelancers who remained silent.

“I don’t know why they participated in this incident but it has become clear that there was direct involvement in this incident. “We may have to deal with enemies that go beyond the level of stopping the fortress.”

With those words the screen changed again and a satellite image taken from a distant sky appeared.

“This is the operation to attack the mobile fortress that will begin now.”

Wow!!

A huge steel fortress that lets out endless rumblings as the ground crumbles.

The figure slowly but surely moves forward emitting dazzling magic light in all directions.

The number of gun barrels and armor mounted on all sides of the fortress is more than several thousand.

The majesty of a strategic weapon designed to build a front line and create a blocking line beyond the level of forming a fire net with a single weapon was there.

Noise leaps through the screen and fills the auditorium.

Pallad opened his mouth clearly ignoring the noise.

“I’ll tell you this in advance. “I hope that anyone who is missing will tell me as soon as possible.”

“What do you mean?”

An older man sitting in the front row expressed his displeasure.

“Does this mean that there might be someone among us who will stab us in the back while we’re at work?”

“….”

“No one would come out like that unless they wanted to get their head pierced by Hyeon-gung who came back from vacation.”

“That means the situation going on outside is urgent right now.”

The man fell silent at Palad’s calm answer.

“While you were killing the agents I was waiting near Area 13 with the agents I had separately sent in. I thought that if the National Guard headquarters was targeting Area 13 they would move toward that direction while the intelligence forces were being killed. “What do you think the result was?”

Without having time to reply Palad continued.

“There was nothing. District 13 wasn’t even in Command’s thoughts from the beginning. Their only goal was to buy time until they could advance the mobile fortress to the vicinity of the megacity.”

“That means….”

Only then did the people who understood what Palad said nod their heads.

The agent did not simply plan a strategy to deal with the mobile fortress.

He was killing the intelligence unit astutely observing the opponent’s reaction and based on that evidence he was moving to find out the headquarters’ true purpose.

“It means that the purpose of the National Guard headquarters is not in a closed area but is likely to be near the undeveloped Balkan region.”

“That’s accurate.”

Hina nodded at Panoa’s comment.

“The short grace period of 15 days was a lie to hide the true purpose… It must have been a plan to advance to the vicinity of the undeveloped area while simultaneously creating chaos inside the city and carrying out a diversionary operation.”

There is a high possibility that the true destination itself is related to the goals of Gearside which joined hands with the National Guard Command.

We weren’t sure what that was right now but it was clear that we had to prevent Command from getting anywhere near the undeveloped areas.

“Most of the agent field agents who are not bound by the prohibition law are going out to the outskirts of the city to determine the movement route of the mobile fortress. “The transit point is likely to be near the satellite city of Delta.”

Pallad who held the microphone again continued.

“I’ll give you half a day to prepare. Until then all those remaining in this conference room will go out of the undeveloped area and participate in the operation to attack the mobile fortress. Anyone have any questions?”

“I think there is too little power.”

Illya who had been keeping her eyes on the video of the Gearside combatant being captured suddenly spoke.

“It was successful in killing the National Guard special forces but according to what has been discussed so far it was only part of an attempt to divert their attention to the interior of the megacity. The core strength of the real National Guard will still be stationed near the mobile fortress.”

“so?”

“Lieutenant General Trepen who commands the headquarters has the physical ability of a castle rank… The three major generals remaining under him have also officially reached level 7 and the colonels under his command are basically capable of freely using the changes in the nature of magical power. “It must be these people.”

There is nothing particularly secret about the strength of the National Guard.

An armed group directly under the city government that protected the outermost border area of ​​the megacity Balkan.

Although it has been on an endless downhill slope for 20 years and its power and reputation have long since expired it is natural that there are still a large number of saint-level superhumans and military-level talents.

Except for level 8 monsters called non-standard monsters superhumans of military rank or higher have always been treated as the main force in the city.

“Assuming that Gearside participates in the war no matter how optimistically we look at it our military power is insufficient… It seems difficult to predict victory for this side.”

Her words seem to pour cold water on a heated atmosphere. However it was an issue that had to be addressed here.

The important thing is not to stop the mobile fortress’s advance even at the cost of one’s life.

Attacking the mobile fortress eliminating key executives at the headquarters and even crushing Gearside’s plans all the while returning alive and with full strength.

Unlike agents who put their lives on the line to maintain order and public order in this city isn’t the process something freelancers should value more than anything else?

Regardless of immediately stepping forward to make this a success whether there was a chance of winning or not was a very important issue.

There are very few people including Lennok who are capable of dealing with the National Guard headquarters in this operation.

In the end in order to successfully complete this task we will have to deal directly with key executives including the command general but the fact that the number of special forces is being reduced in the process is leading to a situation where it is difficult to predict the odds of victory.

However Pallad willingly nodded even after hearing Illya’s sharp question.

“That’s a very accurate point.”

“….”

“Both Representative Mayer and I were aware of the problem when the coup at the National Guard headquarters occurred. “That is why until the last assassination plot each person was assigned a different role and was moving in a different direction.”

Palad smiled confidently.

“A level 7 Aspect Wizard who is not bound by the laws of prohibition in this huge city but is able to take action for the safety and order of the city.”

Squeak!

With those words the door on the side of the main auditorium opened and someone slowly walked in.

“She will be the final participant in this operation.”

Bright blonde hair that goes down to her waist and eyes as blue as the sea. A young woman wearing a simple shirt and a low-saturated blue suit.

However the force of magical energy flowing from that body is so strong that it cannot be defeated by anyone in this place.

“My name is Aris Richelen.”

At the same time as Palad quietly left the place she stood on the stage and opened her mouth.

“This is our first time being together in this situation but given the situation we will have to endure the discomfort. Please take care of me.”

Agent Deputy Director Pallad’s efforts to seek reinforcements in all directions were not in vain.

As a result he succeeded in bringing in reinforcements more suitable for this task than anyone else in the city.

Sinclair Magic Tower’s greatest talent. Distinguished Professor at Labatenon University. A monster who completed the hierarchy in his mid to late 20s.

Recognized as a master of diversification and elemental transformation magic he is the most famous and talented person in the city.

They succeeded in recruiting Aris Richelen for this operation.

Aris and Lennok raised their heads and their eyes met at the same time.

“….”

Lennok sweating coldly glanced away.
