Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 328



Strength of nature (4)

A shot fired from a distance so close that you could see each other breathing with your own eyes.

Nevertheless the magic power compressed to its limit is not directed at Lennok and Felix but completely covers Kroken’s entire body and is launched hundreds of meters further behind.

A huge amount of blue magic light occupied the sky and ground at the point of impact drawing the shape of a huge cubic cube.

Quaaaaaaa!!

The recoil alone caused Lennok to roll on the sand and Felix also stumbled while holding the hammer.

“Ugh…!!”

A huge beam of light shot out in an inverted triangle struck Kroken’s body thousands of times in the blink of an eye.

While Lennok was unable to get up and was convulsing Felix lifted Lennok’s body and instantly widened the distance behind him.

“Cough!!”

It trembles its limbs and spits out gastric juice through its mouth.

Because of nausea during the mobile fortress attack operation there was only leftover magic power recovery medicine left in his stomach.

Felix looked at Lennok like that and nodded.

“As expected your body is excessively weak compared to your skill and boldness. “Did your thoroughness come from a weakness in your nature?”

“…I want you to keep it a secret.”

Lennok wiped his mouth with his sleeve and lifted himself up holding on to his trembling legs.

“Because it’s not something worth bragging about unnecessarily.”

“If you don’t I won’t tell anyone.”

Felix laughed and grabbed the cylinder attached to the hammer handle again.

“I was just convinced of that. You are someone who should not die in a place like this. “I can’t let it end here-”

Felix’s words did not last until the end.

Because the Croken that landed in front of him like a flash of lightning kicked Felix in the shoulder.

Wow!!

There wasn’t even a scream. Felix flew over a distance of over a hundred meters and only a heavy battle hammer remained in his path.

Hot steam rises from all over the magnificent physique of the crocodile giant which slowly lowers its legs.

Shuuuu…!!!

A huge amount of water vapor as if it were a living steam engine.

As the entire body’s metabolism becomes extremely active all of the moisture in the body evaporates and leaves the body.

If you were an ordinary human being you wouldn’t have been able to withstand that high temperature metabolism or evaporation of moisture even for a moment.

Is this possible for a living creature with intelligence like Lennok?

“If you don’t want to die early stop using the magic power of ‘arrival’. “Because it’s not something a half-penny like you can handle.”

“Big…!!”

“You probably aren’t lending your hand to an idiot like Antares just with the intention of throwing away your life here.”

Felix seemed half-fazed by the shock and didn’t even look like he could answer properly.

Kroken looked at Felix who was faintly twitching and grabbed the handle of the hammer that had fallen upside down.

“I’ll take this.”

thud!!

As soon as the battle hammer is placed on the scale-covered shoulder the endlessly swirling black magic subsides like a lie.

As the horsepower sank between the hammers the movement of the cylinder that had been pumping ceaselessly stopped.

The sight of Felix taking the weapon that he found difficult to control and making it his own in one go.

There wasn’t a single wound left in the center of that wide chest.

[Sasangroe] hit Kroken squarely in the solar plexus.

Despite the crushing firepower created by the compression and coordination of power he did not suffer any significant damage.

Lennok who finally realized that fact faintly bit his lip and slowly distanced himself from Kroken.

“Whoa….”

Thought lightning and space leap.

After using two miracles Lennok has almost no magical power left in his body.

A small amount of the remaining magical power recovery medicine was given to Aris and there was not much left.

However it does not mean that there is still no way.

Twenty elixirs given by the medicine master Janushka Greenway as a cure for Lennok’s mana addiction.

I have now taken nearly half of the medication and have about nine pills left but with this I can move like an ordinary person with physical ability for close to 5 minutes.

You can do your best to survive until the end.

‘Can I do it?’

I didn’t think it was shabby. Rather acknowledge and accept yourself for wanting to survive until such a moment.

It’s been a long time since he made up his mind and his answer and stopped hesitating at the border between life and death but from then until now Lennok has never once forgotten its meaning.

The hand reaching for the wooden armor inside the coat pocket no longer trembled.

However Croken looked down at Lennok and quickly withdrew his magic power that had been weighing down the area.

Huh!!

Like a candle blowing out in a strong wind the magic of the giant that seemed to dominate all directions disappears in an instant.

The will to fight disappeared like a lie. The moment when Lennok paused at that unexpected action.

Kroken with a battle hammer on his shoulder crouched down and made eye contact with Lennok.

“possibility.”

The crocodile giant’s elongated snout was deeply curved.

“To be honest if I didn’t feel it today I was planning on killing you before anyone noticed…”

thud!!

As soon as I stood up it rang loudly as if the earth was shaking.

“I guess there’s no need to do that. “I never thought they would already be able to gauge how to directly deal with space and territory at that level.”

“….”

“If we understand the meaning of interfering with space and time as a result we will eventually be able to see a place like ours someday. “Now that I know that it’s okay.”

Bright yellow pupils move and look down at Lennok’s face.

“Come into Pandemonium class.”

“what…?”

“I’m not really interested in what the leader and that guy are planning. “You too I guess.”

“….”

“But they are much smarter and more foolish than you think.”

Croken’s eyes flashed and his tongue licked.

“At least to the extent that I can grant your one most earnest wish.”

Croken Asillus does not know what Lennok is.

There is no particular interest in the magic he uses his talents his goals or all of his growth process.

However this old mercenary who survived on the battlefield for decades and became a legend seemed to know what he wanted.

The crocodile giant was massaging his shoulders as if his body was aching and then tilted his neck from side to side.

“Seeing the stupid guy’s face… I had an interesting experience for the first time in a while. “It was a lot more fun than I expected so I’ll stop here.”

Kroken who was looking at Lennok’s confused expression with an amused expression slowly turned his head.

“There’s no need to decide right away. But someday you will remember what I said.”

The sandstorm blows fiercely and the figure of Croken striding across the horizon gradually disappears.

Only his heavy voice echoed faintly through the intensifying storm.

“There is a set answer that even a person who has come to the end can give alone.”

“….”

Lennok half-buried in the sand looking completely disfigured silently stared at the empty spot where the monster had disappeared.

A commotion that started with Kroken’s whim and ended with his whim.

The scenery in the area was so cruel that it was hard to believe that all of this had nothing to do with his original purpose.

A truly helpless ending. But Lennok didn’t stop thinking.

A conversation between Felix and Croken. The attitude of the giant who seemed strangely concerned about Felix and the meaning of the never-ending dream.

Even the series of words he left behind to Lennok. None of it was worth wasting away.

Crucially Kroken’s disparate response in the final clash.

Lennok clearly remembered his behavior as if he was trying to test the effects of a lightning strike from the front.

‘No matter how strong your body is it is impossible to be completely free from the aftereffects of a stroke.’

A zero-range bombardment fired by a level 7 Aspect Wizard half prepared to die. It was a fatal blow that even hit the solar plexus accurately.

No matter how hard and strong the crocodile giant’s body is it is normal for traces or aftereffects to remain.

But even so Kroken’s body which had risen again still had no wounds.

Isn’t that the power of the microcosm of that monster’s inner world?

A move that Lennok threw in between the power struggle with Felix. What if I had taken out part of the monster’s image that felt something there?

It is also understandable that Kroken suddenly ended the battle and said various things to Lennok.

What did he see in the lightning that Lennok fired in the clash just now?

If only I could find out about its abilities through my experience and conversation battles so far… It wouldn’t be completely impossible to attack Kroken.

Even so Lennok barely had to convince himself.

The gap between the disastrous outcome of this battle and that monster seemed horribly distant.

“…Damn it.”

Inside the coat. Lennoc let go of the wooden armor given to him by Yakseon and slowly fell backwards.

Lennok covering his eyes with one hand closed his eyes and relaxed.

The operation to attack the mobile fortress was full of controversy and hardship.

Although he sensed that the series of events that had begun with the National Guard’s coup had finally come to an end Lennok could not easily get up from where he had fallen.

Even though I know very well that there is still a lot of work to be done and things to be resolved.

If only for a moment Lennok wanted to lie like this.

* * *

Near the North Continent. An unknown mid-sized city.

It is large enough to escape the domination of exceptional individuals yet small enough to call itself a nation.

A woman was squatting and burning cigarettes in a spacious office in a brightly lit high-rise building late at night.

Every time I take a sip the light flickers and glows dimly in the dark room.

Snap!

As soon as the lights turned on the scenery in all directions came into view.

A lump of mucous membrane spewing out strange parts and slime scattered all over the place.

She stood up with an expressionless face looking at the disgusting writhing mechanical tentacles.

Kwasik!!

One head survives until the end and squirms.

There is no body left below the neck only the dozens of wires that once connected the head and body are twitching.

He let out a loud voice with his head trembling.

[How did you… get it?]

“I have confirmed that the network backing up your consciousness has been compromised.”

Slam!

She knelt in front of the head and answered in an indifferent tone.

Her hands quickly began to dismantle the hard metal mechanical parts.

The head asked as it looked at its own image disintegrating before its eyes.

[Not even 10 minutes passed before the grand plan which borrowed the power of the National Guard in the Balkans ended in failure. Even we didn’t expect this level of damage so how could you…?]

“We exchange information with Echo on a regular basis. “I was just preparing in advance just in case.”

Snap!

“I didn’t think it would turn out this well.”

She made a complicated expression as she completely opened the part of the human skull and checked the data chip embedded within it.

At this point when the network backing up Gearside’s consciousness has been destroyed they are just ordinary humans with one life.

If this data chip is disassembled and destroyed the existence of Gearside will disappear into the back of history.

[I see. Is the malice that began with the failure of the Ascension Gate ultimately holding us back here?…]

The head sighed softly and then laughed at the woman.

[But your colleagues will not know who you are joining hands with.]

“….”

[I knew you were obsessed with fixing the Machine City’s epic failure but I never thought you would bow down to Bokmajeon. It’s like joining hands with the devil to take responsibility.]

“…I don’t think this is something you should hear from someone who tried to join hands with them until yesterday.”

It’s just as the woman said.

The one who fell here now scattering his body was the leader of Gearside and the one who tried to join Pandemonium by leading his forces intact.

He was once one of the top magic engineering authorities in the Machine City but why did he fall to this point?

They both knew it damn well but they didn’t bother to say it.

The tragedy that occurred in Machine City at that time was a by-product of the madness that often occurred at a time when the end of the world was approaching.

A long time has passed since then and the regrets and sorrows have been buried in the sand of memories and forgotten.

All that remains is duty responsibility and the hatred that still won’t go away.

Despite the sharp answer the head of Gearside who was left with only his head let out a slow laugh.

[Hehe… It’s an unconvincing ending but I’ll have to accept it. I also overcame countless irrationalities and came this far.]

“….”

It is an infinitely unfair world. Money power fate and fate.

The man knew that if he gave up everything to stand at the top his turn might come around someday.

The tentacles rising from the lower part of the neck were gently waving as if they were waving their hands.

[Give my regards to the doctor.]

Kwasik!

The woman reaches out for the data chip in her head clenches her fist and shatters the entire chip.

As she stood up in bewilderment and looked at the devastation she had created slow applause echoed behind her.

A man whose facial expression and expression were unreadable was leaning against one side of the office door and smiling.

“Good job Maiya. “Just as I heard you did a perfect job.”

“…doctor.”

The woman called Maiya turned her head.

“Originally this friend could have been one of us but things changed with what happened in the Balkans.”

The doctor said as he walked over the rubble all over the office and walked in.

“It’s unfortunate but the research and technology data held by Gearside has been roughly analyzed so there won’t be any major problems.”

“The horse is very Cheongsanyusu. “If the negotiations with those guys hadn’t broken down you wouldn’t have thought to call me.”

Maiya said while glaring at the doctor.

With that alone the deadly force extending from her body became an intangible thorn and began to rip through the office.

“Do you remember why I joined this organization?”

“I’m sorry about that.”

Even as he watched the scene before his eyes the doctor smiled softly.

“Maiya I recognize your skills but I don’t like people who confuse ends and means.”

“….”

“Isn’t it natural that a good picture cannot be drawn if emotions are mixed during an important negotiation process?”

The doctor said that and tapped Maiya on the shoulder.

“Well anyway you achieved one of your desired goals and I took care of the annoying task so let’s move on. “I didn’t necessarily call you because of today’s work.”

Maiya twitched her hand as she saw the doctor walking defenselessly with his back turned.

Even in the machine city of Machina where all kinds of strange technologies and mysteries abound her skill as the best executioner might be enough to kill her before she even notices.

However even though a part of her mind desperately wished for success in the end instead of reaching out she started walking along with the doctor.

Because my intuition built on decades of skill and experience was sending me a warning not just at this moment.

The moment you use the water spray you may experience something worse than death.

Although she was not afraid of death or the pain that came with it Maiya still had work left to do.

“…Oh my.”

The doctor who walked out of the hallway looked at the scenery in all directions and let out a soft exclamation.

This is because piles of horribly broken machines filled the corridors staircases and elevators of high-rise buildings.

Gearside. There is no trace of the armed group that had a leader and a number of subordinates anywhere.

To be able to accomplish this level of destruction by one person without damaging the exterior or interior walls of the building at all.

Even as a doctor who knew nothing about close combat it was not difficult to guess how refined Maiya’s skills were.

“so. “Where should I go this time?”

Maiya asked as she walked behind the doctor down the hallway.

She was closer to an assassin than a warrior and unlike other Pandemonium members she often took on this type of dispatch work so it wasn’t an awkward situation.

This is probably possible because Maiya herself accepts joining Pandemonium as a kind of transaction.

“early. “It’s at the bottom of the same northern continental plateau.”

The doctor answered in an excited tone.

“An abnormal phenomenon occurred where the aurora hanging over the northern continent’s plateau disappeared. “Considering where the aurora originated it can be said to be a very important event.”

“….”

The doctor muttered as if it was nothing but Maiya immediately understood what he meant and stopped walking.

Having lived as an enforcer in the Machine City she also had some knowledge of abnormal phenomena that existed throughout the continent.

And if it is the source of the aurora that always hangs over the northern plateau –

“…This is the place where the entire ideology of the level 9 ascendant ‘Jindun’ unfolds. “If that means…”

“okay.”

The doctor answered.

“The Ascendant has moved.”
