    Metamorphosis (2)

    Couuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck!!

    [Director Zelich is starting to exert his strength.]

    Unlike the reactor where communication was cut off communication with Felix who was still facing off at the back gate of the fortress was safe.

    [We are looking for the person who created this lightning strike zone. They’re probably planning to shake us off and head inside the fortress. I will try my best to tie my feet here.]

    Felix continued without waiting for Lennok’s answer.

    [If someone with that level of skill tries to leave with all his might it won’t be easy to keep his feet. It may be difficult to contact you from now on.]

    “….”

    [I will leave the rest to you.]

    Pop!!

    With those words the communication stops and at the same time the clash of magical energy felt below the deck becomes much more violent.

    Felix a key executive of the Antares office and who completed the hierarchy with his powerful body began to clash with Director Zelic with all his might.

    Lennok raised his gaze in silence feeling the force of that magic power with his whole body.

    Despite this uproar Gate 8 is still firmly closed. But there are no more Barclays or commanding officers left to hinder Lennok.

    All that remains is for Lennok to go inside the fortress himself see the truth of all this with his own eyes and successfully conquer the fortress.

    There was no time to hesitate.

    “Shall we go?”

    Slam!

    A rechargeable shotgun was held in Lennok’s hand at the same time as he rotated his wrist.

    The barrel of the shotgun filled with heavy magical power glowed violently and as soon as the trigger was pulled the thick iron door of the gate crumbled like a piece of paper.

    Kwaaaa!!

    One more step.

    Quaaaaaaa!!

    Two rechargeable magic bullets amplified by 8-stack shooting assist magic explode.

    It was impossible for an empty gate to withstand the power that could turn even the body of a person with physical abilities into a piece of meat.

    The tightly closed iron gate on both sides shrinks allowing a gap in the center for a person to pass through.

    At the same time that Lennoc squeezed himself through the narrow gap the guards waiting inside the gate hallway began pulling their triggers all at once.

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

    “Shoot!!!”

    “Kill the wizard!!”

    “We have to stop it right here keep our wits about us and maintain the front line…!!”

    Wow!!

    There was no continuation of the guard’s desperate cries.

    This is because the unidentified shell that struck out of nowhere blocked the entire gate hallway and deflected all the bullets.

    “This is…?”

    The moment the guard holding the rifle mumbled and stuttered a huge amount of flame flowed out from between the shells and filled the hallway.

    Using the heat wave that erupted from behind as a stepping stone the carapace that blocked the hallway moved forward like a bulldozer.

    The outer armor that made up Apostle Walter’s body. Its durability is so overwhelming that it is difficult to melt it even with the flames of Lennok’s magnetic domain.

    A pile of shells with incredible durability and weight moves forward and crushes the guards into pieces.

    Ujijijijik!!!

    A grotesque sound of flesh and muscles being torn apart and a horrendous scream erupted.

    “Kwaaaaaa!!”

    “Step back!! “I can’t stop it!!”

    “Help me!!!”

    The pursuit of a pile of shells pushing heavily behind the movements that are slowed down by the continuous heat wave.

    The guards tried to find a way out and run back but it was not enough.

    Lennok who instantly wiped out the internal guards waiting near the gate moved forward without hesitation.

    Now that Major General Barclay who was in command inside the fortress is dead and other generals and colonels are struggling there is no one capable of stopping Lennok.

    Guards who had been modified by Gearside surrounded Lennok and struggled to somehow stop him from heading to the control room.

    He was pierced by the lightning and flame spear that appeared behind Lennok’s back only to be burned and exploded.

    Kwagwagwagwagwa!!

    A huge wave of flame spread out like a wave expanding in size along the increasingly widening corridor.

    The flash of light between them became a sharp dagger penetrating the vital parts of the guard convulsing in the flames and tearing the body of the superhuman to pieces.

    Among the dogs some who were overflowing with will and talent ran towards Lennok through the fierce firepower but the muzzles of the shotgun and revolver rotated alternately completely suppressing even the last resistance.

    “Kaaaaaa!!”

    “Lord die…!”

    “Is there still this much energy left?…!!”

    “How can you even deal with the warden!!”

    A tragic death resounding here and there. They were probably also waiting inside the fortress watching the battle between Lennok and Barclay.

    Spacious communal space located at the end of the hallway. Near the central corridor leading to various parts of the fortress.

    Originally it was a space prepared to periodically summon and check the strength of the National Guard forces working in the fortress and issue work orders.

    But now the waves of fire ignited by Lennoc are rolling over endlessly melting and stirring up all directions indiscriminately.

    A violently rotating swirl of flames. Lennok standing in the center raises his head and looks at the roads leading in all directions.

    Dabi who realized Lennok’s intention immediately helped.

    [Central staircase on the 3rd floor of the fortress corridor. It is the shortest route to the control room.]

    “okay. Confirmed. “Only the passage leading there is protected from magical interference.”

    Lennok raised his head and his eyes shone coldly.

    I go up the central stairs of the 3rd floor corridor and knock on the tightly closed door of the control room.

    A pitch-black hand extends from beneath Lennok’s shadow grabbing the crack in the door and forcibly twisting it open.

    Awesome geek…!!

    The control room door was much stronger than Gate 8 which we had just passed through but unlike before Lennok did not hit it with a shotgun.

    If the equipment in the fortress control room is damaged due to a wrong shock it would be like ruining the truth.

    That is why they are using shadow magic to pry open the gap in the door materialize it and forcibly open the gap.

    “Ugh….”

    “Please please….”

    “Commander…!!”

    Frightened voices coming from beyond the slowly opening door of the control room.

    Are they the officials who have been watching and controlling this whole situation from the fortress control room until now?

    Lennok heard the voice and raised his magic power even more but the tightly closed door of the control room was locked with multiple locks so it was not easy to open it with force.

    Kiiiiiiiii!!!

    Lennok was lost in thought in front of the control room where the twisting noise was constantly echoing.

    “It’s easy to break it down with force but it’s hard to open the door without shocking it.”

    [The control room door is completely independent from the fortress system. There is not much room for me to intervene.]

    “I can’t wait too long.”

    Lennok frowned slightly.

    “Now that they have noticed my presence the other wardens will try to somehow shake off our forces and run this way.”

    And following him Ilya and Felix will also try to enter the fortress from different sides.

    If the confusion increases there is a risk of losing Lt. General Trepen and Gearside.

    [What are you going to do?]

    Lennok did not think long.

    “I learned useful skills from Aris.”

    When unlocking the archive with Aris I applied the tricks I learned from looking over my shoulder.

    The shadow’s grip seemed to melt and penetrate the inner lock of the door.

    Easy profit!!

    Reconstruct the movements of the flowing shadows and the changes in the magical arrangement felt into a three-dimensional blueprint in your head.

    Analyze and understand the principle of the 8-layer control room lock in an instant. From the bottom up we touch on the elaborate operating principles.

    Dabi stuck his tongue out at the sight of Lennoc moving the shadow to unlock the device upside down without a single mistake or hesitation.

    [Is this possible by learning from looking over your shoulder?]

    “It’s not impossible if you can remember and draw the structure in your head.”

    Lennok answered without hesitation.

    “The important thing is to turn the remembered structure upside down and draw it.”

    Charrrrrrrrr!!

    Contrary to before it was the sound of gears being elaborately loosened from inside the door.

    The office workers realized what the sound meant and screamed.

    “No no no!!”

    “Central system interference was completely blocked!!”

    “Aaaah!!!”

    Coo coo coo coo!!

    All of the last eight locks are unlocked and the control room door slowly opens. The sight of office workers trembling with pale tired faces.

    Some people are sitting down incontinent crying while others are just muttering something with a lost expression.

    They may be skilled at commanding a fortress but they are not very good at combat skills or experience.

    Wow!!

    Lennok asked as he grabbed the collar of the secretary who was shedding tears with a magician and lifted him up.

    “Lieutenant General Trepen. “Where are they now?”

    “That that…”

    “Answer me.”

    “In the office inside the Saturday control room… since yesterday… don’t let anyone in… black!!”

    The secretary’s face was shaking and tears were streaming down his face. But what is felt in that expression is not fear of death.

    Despair that the coup d’état which risked the entire security and status of the National Guard ended in vain like this.

    Those who followed Trepen’s final instructions closest must have already guessed their ending.

    “….”

    The magician was released and the secretary’s body was placed down.

    Lennok ignored them and headed straight into the control room.

    Dozens of monitors popping up everywhere. Inside thousands of wires are intricately twisted. Through one glass window you can see the common area on the lowest level of the fortress.

    And the commander’s office located in the innermost part of the control room.

    Kwaang!!

    Lennok who broke down the door without hesitation using shock magic and rushed inside frowned.

    A bed awkwardly placed in the middle of an empty office.

    An old man was lying on a bed at an angle his eyes rolled back and his mouth was foaming.

    All the veins on his forehead beneath his gray hair had burst and the black blood streaming from his eyes and nose had solidified and covered his face.

    A star attached to the epaulettes of the military uniform worn. Dozens of thick plug wires plugged into the back of the neck.

    If you think about the status and circumstances of being in this position right now there is only one possibility that you can think of.

    The fortress commander whom our troops were searching for with all their might. Lieutenant General Trepen was completely dead.

    Pot!

    Lennok did not hesitate despite the unexpected scenery.

    Immediately he pulled out all the wires connected to the back of the lieutenant general’s head and glanced at Dabi towards the inside.

    Even though he was aware of the risks of physically pulling out the wire he thought it was necessary to prevent things from proceeding as the lieutenant general intended.

    Dabi jumped up in his arms and clung to the broken wire behind the lieutenant general’s neck interrupting the signal and immediately shaking his head.

    [Signal Lost. I don’t feel any electrical stimulation. Not only is there no life reaction in the body there is nothing on the connected wire side either.]

    Lennok who instantly grasped the situation frowned.

    “He’s dead. “And that was after quite some time had passed.”

    [Rigor mortis has fully progressed and is slowly resolving. If we estimate the time of death it is quite a day ago. No matter how fast you go 20 hours have passed.]

    Lennok quickly calculated the time and frowned.

    “This is before we even specify the entry route. To be fair right after we arrived in the city… it’s too early to throw in the towel.

    [Unlike others maybe I failed to remodel my body?]

    Dabi said.

    [Lieutenant General Trepen’s military strength is extremely strong but he is a very old man. There is a possibility that age may have been a problem.]

    It’s not just an unlikely guess.

    In fact doesn’t the fact that Lieutenant General Treffen’s body remains here prove his demise?

    But Lennok looked at Trepen’s dead body and shook his head.

    “…No if that were the case there is no way Barclay would have said that before he died. The lieutenant general died less than 20 hours ago. “It makes no sense that other wardens didn’t know about this.”

    [then….]

    “Maybe the tilt of this bed…”

    Lennok walked up to the bed and opened Trepen’s chest.

    Despite his advanced age his upper body is well-built and muscular. But that’s why the hole in the exact center of the chest stands out even more strangely.

    Even Dabi muttered in a surprised tone.

    [You have no heart.]

    “This is what Barclay meant.”

    Lennok muttered.

    “Lieutenant General Treffen did not choose body modification like other major generals. “He committed this act with the intention of completely abandoning his body and replacing it with a new body.”

    [Is that… possible for life?]

    “It’s clear that only the heart was taken out. The intention was to retrieve only some of the most important biological organs and reconstruct the body. perhaps….”

    Lennok slowly raised his head and said.

    “They may have already come back to life and are watching us.”

    [That was the only opportunity given to me.]

    Paaaaa!!

    At the same time as those words were said dozens of monitors shining in all directions began to glow at once.
