Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 38
by Jessie@AFNCC
Abandoned railway station located in Area 59.
This area is an undeveloped area located on the outskirts of the Balkan metropolis and it is no exaggeration to say that it is the most neglected area in the Balkans excluding extra-urban areas.
Although it is a little far from the area where the ruins where the pollutants ran around are located only the remains of the large railway facility that was originally planned to be located here remain clearly revealing the failure of the policy.
All that remains are the corrupt customs office that manages imported goods from outside and the vagabonds who live day to day in this abandoned area.
Therefore it is not difficult to bring in goods from outside as long as you can get customs officials involved and the city government tolerates it despite knowing it clearly.
Because that would be the only way for government employees to sustain themselves in this rotten city.
As we approached the railway station a sharp sense of tension was already prevalent around us.
The Cigar Bang gang members who arrived first took their seats and were watching the surroundings.
The group hid themselves in a distance that was reasonably out of sight of the members and watched the movement.
pato
There are plenty of places to hide around.
Lennok also picked a collapsed container nearby and disappeared.
[….I don’t think the soldiers have arrived yet.]
Hearing Zod’s words through the earphones Lennok touched the watch on his wrist and immediately changed it into the form of a telescope and held it to his eyes.
This is a multi-tool obtained in exchange for having Agria as a teammate.
As they say there are more than a dozen members hanging around near the railway station but there are no firearms or anything like that.
Evidence that they are taking great care to avoid suspicion at least in the visible corners.
This probably means that dealing with veterans is important to the current gang.
[You have to wait?]
“okay.”
Lennok responded.
“When the soldiers arrive they settle down from there. Since we will be exchanging goods in kind the transaction will take quite some time. In the meantime secure an advantageous position and begin the operation.”
[Do you know when they will come? No I don’t even know which direction it’s coming from in the first place.]
“To the railroad tracks. “I’ll be there in 3 minutes.”
[what? How do you know that…]
Lennok hung up without waiting for an answer.

Keini seemed quite cautious but on the other hand he didn’t seem to be the type to think that quickly.
If you bribe the customs office and set the meeting point at a railroad station isn’t it clear what means of transportation you will use?
Even more so if you need to transport weapons such as guns at once.
There was no need to spend time explaining it here since you would be able to check it quickly anyway given the magic sense.
As I took a moment to catch my breath and flicked the cigar in my mouth the area across from the railway station quickly became bustling.
Rattling rattling…..!
A regular noise coming through the darkness.
The light of two headlights approaching through the night fog.
A huge rectangular piece of iron slowly runs toward the station and slowly slows down.
An old train car running on a rusty railway stopped in the middle of the stop and the door flew open.
A group of people walking out from inside raised their heads stiffly and opened their mouths towards the gang.
“It came on time. “Where is the person in charge?”
A dark ink-colored military uniform. A blue armband worn on the shoulder.
It is definitely a National Guard uniform.
Lennok grinned as he checked the image through the telescope.
Boldly the gang was directly operating this abandoned railway station to conduct business with soldiers.
If you think about it it’s not that difficult.
The only people who directly monitor the railroad in this area are customs officials and if they can be captured their watchful eyes will become a reliable sentinel.
Even if you are caught it is possible for customs to make an excuse that they are directly operating the train for government officials.
Rather it was a much more natural method than having several military vehicles moving through the darkness.
Even if you move a spacious train compartment full of guns no one will easily suspect you.
Lennok who checked the faces of the soldiers immediately pressed his earphones and whispered.
“Let’s get started.”
[…………]
There was no answer.
However five signs that felt very secret even to Lennok’s senses immediately began to move.
It quickly spread in all directions instantly overpowering the members who were on guard and at the same time Agria fired a jammer into the air cutting off the gang’s communication.
Communication between team members will become difficult due to the inability to identify enemies but from now on it will not have much meaning.
Lennok also immediately got up and moved forward putting bullets into the heads of the members surrounding him.
container! container!
As we moved forward little by little as we approached the railway station we began to see soldiers and gang leaders facing each other and having a conversation.
About a dozen soldiers gathered together led by an old soldier with a cold air that looked as if not a single needle would go in even if pricked and a large man standing facing them with only three assistants.
the old soldier asked looking up at the man with sharp eyes.
“How long do you plan on using this old train?”
“Please calm down.”
The man answered in a slow tone.
“Hasn’t there already been agreement that this is the most effective means?”

“That’s only happened once or twice so I don’t see why we have to go through the trouble every time. “After all we are the ones supplying you with weapons.”
“……”
The man’s brow twitched at the soldier’s harsh words but he did not say anything.
But the old soldier recognized the meaning of that expression like a ghost and frowned.
“What is that expression?”
“It’s nothing.”
“I’ll say it again if you make even the slightest mistake it’s over. The western satellite city is full of friends who are anxiously awaiting our return. “If you put us in danger even for a moment we will never do business with you again.”
The man shrugged his shoulders silently.
Lennok watched the conversation between the two and quietly shook his head.
‘He’s very skilled….’
On the outside it seemed like the man had taken a step back under the soldier’s pressure but the old soldier’s more sensitive attitude than necessary clearly showed his psychological state.
Status of being a retired soldier. Feeling guilty about secretly selling military equipment. Risk of being discovered.
The stress accumulated in a psychologically depressed situation is being expressed in a negative way toward the trading partner in front of you.
Even though the man clearly knew this he was not having a hard time accepting the annoyance caused by the soldier in front of him.
Naturally Lennok’s gaze sank deeply.
‘If only I could kill him right here…’
In order for the plan to succeed Seager Bang must be completely destroyed and Dyke Enterprises must take its place.
In order to do that all of the gang’s major executives will have to be dealt with at some point.
It would be perfect if we could eliminate not only the soldiers but also the gangs.
The old soldier who had been glaring at the man for a long time reluctantly nodded.
Anyway he was here to make a deal and the soldiers who were kicked out of the battlefield needed money.
Even if the money is dirty money squeezed out of the hard work of the back alleys.
“Move things.”
When the man nodded the dozen or so members who had been preparing at the back quickly entered the train compartment and began carrying firearms.
There are a few pistols mixed in but most of them are automatic rifles which weigh quite a bit.
In addition since they were carrying a lot of ammunition it would take a considerable amount of time to transport them no matter how many people were there.
The moment when you first move the rifles stacked outside and start taking out the ammunition.
Lennok immediately raised his magic power and shot it towards the sky.
Wow!!
A clear will reacts with precisely assembled magic power along with a specific image scattering bright blue light across the empty sky.
Some magicians among the gang members realize what is happening and turn their heads.
But it was already too late.
[Thunder Calling]
Kwahiah ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh !!!
A lightning strike signaling the start of the battle struck the ground.
The place where the intense firepower that can instantly reduce a human being to ashes is headed is an old train compartment full of ammunition.
It is obvious what happens when a spark ignites in a makeshift ammunition dump.
As the old train compartment exploded a huge wave of flames spewed out engulfing everyone standing nearby.
Fuuuuuuu!!
“Kwaaaa!!”
“Hot hot!!”
“Beh beek!! what’s this…!!!”
Gang members and soldiers gathered at the scene rolled around on the floor screaming desperately as their whole bodies melted in pain.
With Lennok’s first strike other team members mixed in everywhere also move immediately.
The hazy purple fog spread by Allen instantly covered the entire area and weakened the members’ strength.
The laser fired by Agria accurately pierced the heads of the magicians who had responded to Lennok’s magic earlier.
Kwaaaang!!
Hazer appeared while pushing up the burning train compartment wading through the blazing flames and swinging a huge hammer at other members.
Zod and Kaney appeared behind the railroad station and cut down all the fleeing members.
Amidst the chaos Lennok remained unfazed and immediately pulled out a revolver from his belt.
The intended goal of disrupting the arms trade and disrupting the relationship between gangs and veterans was achieved.
Once they have tasted the heat soldiers who were already secretly selling weapons will become even more intimidated and will not hastily try to do business with gangs.
But we can’t stop here.
If we can’t kill Cigar Bang’s executive on the spot we’ll end up at a standstill.
Panoa did not directly tell him to kill him but other team members must have been aware of it implicitly.
And if someone had to step up Lennok would not hesitate.
I quickly put the tobacco in my mouth and sucked in the smoke gathering up a lot of courage that I didn’t have.
From here on we don’t spare any effort.
As much as Panoa showed sincerity Lennok also had an obligation to deliver the same results.
While glaring at the heavy shadow slowly rising through the blurry flames Lennok immediately built up shooting assist magic.
[Aim correction]
[Intensify trigger]
[Rebound control]
[Penetration amplification]
[Rotational acceleration]
Kiiiiing…!!
This is the first time I’ve hit five types of auxiliary magic since using shooting auxiliary magic.
Among the shooting combos that Lennok can currently use this is the most powerful single shot within the limits of what the gun allows.
The silver revolver gave off a bright blue light and trembled but Lennok raised his trembling arms and forced himself to focus his gaze on the aiming line.
There is no need to try to aim for an elusive target.
All the results were already contained in the magazine inside the revolver.
Phew!
The new type shrinking from the flames rushed towards Lennok in the blink of an eye.
Lennok pulled the trigger.
Taaaaa!!
A shot that is completely different from ordinary shooting.
A leader who penetrates the gaps in thinking. If it doesn’t work that’s rather strange.
As Lennok thought the shadow twisted his body to avoid the timing of a normal shot but Lennok’s bullet hit his shoulder faster than that.
I tried ignoring the bullet’s power but it wouldn’t work out as I wanted.
Embarrassed by the completely unexpected shock the shadow’s steps stumble greatly.
Kwazijic…!!
With the sound of flesh being crushed the approaching Shinhyeong suddenly changed direction and fell diagonally.
Kwaaaa!!
The heavy body of the man who appeared with a scorching heat burning his cheeks slipped and rolled on the floor.
Seeing that Lennok immediately increased his magical powers to full power.
Lennok is not sure how strong the man who fell here is.
However if a gang leader is famous enough to make a name for himself in a district he will be one of the strongest opponents he has ever encountered.
In a world where only the weak are exploited reputation and skill are generally proportional.
And Lennok had no intention of letting down his guard against such an enemy.
pull it down
The purple whip sweeps sharply in all directions snatching up any life reactions and throwing them to the ground.
Churrrrrrrr!!
Let’s start with the ice series.
Pure white cold air erupts from Lennok’s grip on the whip and the cold air flowing through the elongated shape of magical power instantly freezes even the tied target.
[Frost Horn]
An applied magic that was briefly effective against Croken Asillus.
Although it has a short range and consumes a lot of magic power it is an ice-type magic that is very effective against large people but it boasts excellent effects when mixed with Gravity Bind.
The cold chill that suppressed the movement of the air tightened around the man’s entire body subsiding the surrounding heat and instantly dimming the burning flames.
Before the frozen man was even revealed Agria’s laser which had cleared out all of the gang’s magicians turned its head.
Whoa!!
A blue laser sweeps the ground and Allen’s curse ceremony covers it again.
When Allen first attacked he used a range spell due to the situation but in general curse spells are a spell that has the advantage of being more powerful when targeting individuals.
Curses that fatally limit the body’s reactions such as muscle weakness slowed reaction reduced speed and restricted vision rain down on the man one after another while he is unable to move.
A burning train car fell from the sky as if it had been waiting for the right moment.
the second enemy
Kwagwagwagwagwa!!!
A deafening roar.
Lennok intuitively realized that the attack he had just made was a follow-up attempt by Hazer.
He struck the end of the train compartment with that large hammer and dropped it on the man’s head.
Was he paying attention to this even while he was frantically killing members?
The three people’s combined efforts as if they were waiting for him to tie the man’s feet were very elaborate even though I didn’t expect it.
In the meantime it was also a sharp decision for Zod and Kaney to focus on wiping out other gang members instead of turning their attention to this area.
In particular Keini who has the ability to move at high speeds penetrates the members’ blind spots in all directions and cuts off their necks and even to Lennok his movements are extremely sharp.
Since he is that talented is he working as a freelancer for Madame?
A brief lull created by the joint effort of four people.
Lennoc flicked the tobacco in his mouth and slowly spread his magical power wide covering the entire area.
Whoa…
Underneath the damaged train car where there are still signs of destruction.
After seeing the slowly writhing man’s hand begin to tremble slightly and become limp he sighs softly.
“Whoa….”
Starting from Lennok’s reaction other team members who realized that the operation was over began to appear one by one.
Allen who was the last to show up said rubbing his chest.
“It’s not easy.”
“It was easier than I thought.”
When Zod responded bluntly he shrugged his shoulders.
“Would it have been easier without the captain?”
“……”
Lennok did not answer but he deep down agreed with what he said.
It is no exaggeration to say that most of the work was already done the moment the lightning struck and exploded the train compartment.
There was nothing more to say after the first attack was aborted by shooting the executive who was running towards Lennok.
Even in that moment of confusion the man who found the subject of the lightning strike and took it down had great insight but Lennok’s strike first was just faster.
“I finished it in one go so it doesn’t matter. “Let’s not fight.”
Hazer smiled kindly and shook off the smoking hammer.
Being able to lift an entire train compartment would be possible not only because of Hazer’s own strength but also because the hammer itself has a very unique function.
Lennok nodded after seeing Kaney wiping off a bloody blade from a distance and Agria replacing a spent cartridge.
A one-sided surprise attack using superior information.
It is said that they hacked the gang’s entire network using a professional hacker organization called Mirror Divers and indeed the task became quite easy.
If things continue like this there will be nothing better… but how can anyone’s job be that easy?
If Cigar Bang was a functioning organization it would start cracking down on where the information was leaked and as soon as network security is concerned this method would work at most once or twice.
‘If possible it would be important to cause as much damage to the gang as possible in the meantime.’
Panoa would naturally take this into consideration.
Lennoc whose thoughts had gone up to that point turned his back.
“let’s go. “There is no reason to stay here for long.”
“…Well it would be a bit troublesome if you were to mess around for no reason and leave traces.”
“I decided to stay away from gangs anyway so it doesn’t really matter. “I think it would be better to confirm the kill one more time than that.”
The moment Lennok was about to respond to Zod’s words.
A ray of light pierced through the vast magical power and ran through the air.
Lennok who instinctively recognized the direction immediately raised the shield and covered it with Allen who was right next to him.
Awesome!!
Immediately after something elongated flew in and collided with Lennok’s shield.
Kwasik!!
The flash of light which seemed to waver for a moment shattered the shield at once and pierced Allen’s chest precisely.
“Big…!”
Allen’s stiff body unable to speak properly falls to the ground like a piece of wood.
You can tell without having to look. There was no way the magician’s weak body could withstand such a javelin. It was instant death.
In the meantime Lennoc checked the spear that had pierced Allen’s body and let out a laugh.
A long sign erected near a railroad station.
This is because the rusty iron bar was placed on the chest of the dead witch doctor and became a tombstone.
Although we lost a team member in the blink of an eye no one lost their composure.
They quickly distance themselves from each other and turn their gaze toward the direction from which the javelin came.
A tall skinny man walks through the acrid smoke of a burning field.
Lennok seeing that face let out a deep sigh without even realizing it.
“Whoa…”
The other team members also confirmed his identity and gulped nervously.
The newly appeared man slowly walked towards the group and after seeing Lennok’s face he stopped and smiled empty-handedly.
“I made a mistake.”
“……..”
“I should have ripped your head off that day when we met at the bar. “It’s not time to worry about Kaise’s lies.”
Beck Clinton.
The leader of Cigar Bang who was supposed to be away on a business trip outside the Balkans made a belated appearance here.
The moment he met his face Lennok’s head began to spin rapidly.
Has Dyke Corporation made a ridiculous mistake again? Or was this all a trap for Cigar Bang from the beginning?
‘No both are wrong.’
If Beck had known of this plan from the beginning he would not have stood by and watched his gang members and soldiers burn to death.
And there would be no way he would have shown up to the transaction site late and alone like this.
As if to prove Lennok’s guess Beck continued talking to himself.
“I stopped by just in case while negotiations with the client were delayed but it was too late.”
“I told you so.”
With a long puff of smoke Lennok responded to his words for the first time.
“Our client won’t sit still either.”
“Hehe… okay. “After Paul Ackerman searched we started to find and gather information on our own.”
Beck let out a low laugh with a sad expression.
“It’s a Dyke company… I joined hands with a very worthy company. “I never imagined that the merchants in the 10th division would be so eager to steal the lunch boxes of their subordinates.”
“……..”
“In particular the information about this transaction was kept completely secret but seeing that they came in with such determination it seems like the gang network has been completely robbed. This is why I told my boss that network management should not be left to rats…”
Beck who was muttering with a dejected expression soon shook his head and slowly took up his position.
“What happened?”
He grinned looking straight at Lennok.
“Now that we know the problem we just need to fix it. “I guess I’ll have to start by ripping out your spine right here.”
Beck who was staring at the burning railroad station rummaged through his belt in silence.
Beck took out a long iron handle and lightly turned his wrist and at the same time the handle he was holding stretched out to both extremes and turned into a long iron bar.
Wooooow!!!
A bright blue blade protruded from the tip of the pole softly lighting up the surrounding area.
“I have no choice but to cut off your hair and place it on the tombstones of those who went before me.”
I know.
The fact that Beck’s seemingly calm face is filled with anger that boils like oil in his eyes.
The failure of this deal will be a significant blow to the gang and it will probably be difficult to deal with it.
Whether Lennok dies here or not Siger Bang’s finances will become increasingly difficult.
How long can I pretend to be so relaxed and smile?
At least it is certain that his expression will not be the same after shattering his limbs and slamming his head to the ground.
Lennok also grinned as he raised his magic power.
“I wonder if you can say that even after being crushed under my feet.”
“Khahahahaha!!!”
Beck bursts into hearty laughter as if he couldn’t bear to hear such words from none other than Lennok.
He immediately rushed towards Lennok.
“This arrogant bastard until the end…!!!!”
Kwaaaaaaaaaa!!!
The shape of a bison appeared and disappeared behind Beck and he sprinted at terrifying speed plunging the long spear blade straight into Lennok.
The speed is so fast and heavy that it is difficult to even react by looking at it.
It’s so powerful that it wouldn’t be surprising if all the flesh on your body exploded if you held on to it from the front.
However instead of foolishly holding on Lennok immediately activated the magic he had prepared in advance.
[Upper Ground]
The ground Lenno was stepping on suddenly bounced upwards and at the same time his body flew high into the sky.
At that moment when their directions diverge the spear blade wielded by Beck bounces upward before it can shatter all of Lennok’s shields instantly widening the distance between them.
Lennoc clicked his tongue as he realized that three shields had been shattered at the moment when the blue magical spear blade scratched the shield.
‘This kind of power even when the shield is rotated…’
However we succeeded in defeating the first attack.
Lennok did not miss the sight of Beck momentarily losing his balance as his sprint with all his might went astray in a completely unexpected way.
While falling I gather magical power in both hands and use magic once more.
Not towards Beck but towards the rusty railroad tracks laid out neatly next to him.
[Magnetic Control]
Keyee!!
The first magnetic magic used.
Due to the limitations of common magic it can only do so much as pulling and pushing metal towards an object but Lennok’s magic control ability has already far surpassed those limitations.
I’m so excited!!
As he twisted his body the train quickly climbed up Beck’s ankles tightly grabbing his entire body and tying him up.
“Ugh….!”
Although he was watching Lennok’s hand keenly he could not have imagined that he would control the entire railroad beneath his feet and arrest him.
After wrapping around his body he plunged the remaining end of the rail into Beck’s head and then interfered with it twisting Beck’s magical energy flow with all his might.
Uddudeuddeuk!!!
“Oops!”
Beck who was trying to destroy the iron prison with magical power suddenly coughed violently and convulsed.
After seeing that far Lennok landed safely using the floating magic and quickly took a step back and looked around.
Just by nullifying a single spear strike from Beck he completely suppressed his new form and even temporarily cut off the flow of magical power.
If the other team members wanted to save their lives they wouldn’t just sit by and watch the two people in a situation like this.
Just as he thought Zod’s javelin having accurately read Beck’s gap swung towards his leg.
Kwasik…!!
Blood spurts out along with the horrifying sound of flesh being torn cleanly apart and Zod who has achieved his intended goal runs away without even looking back.
It was a smart and intelligent move.
And just as Beck feverish turns his head to look for another opponent Hazer who caught the moment to step forward blocks his gaze.
When I gently twisted the handle of the hammer I was holding with both hands bright red flames came out from the back of the hammer and the booster began to shoot out.
“Don’t be too upset.”
Heiser said as he set fire once more to the already desolate field of the railroad station.
“I think you are being punished for committing defense industry corruption brother.”
Before Beck could respond Hazer rushed forward and swung his hammer roughly.
The booster which assists the speed of the hammer increases Hazer’s swing at an incredibly agile speed.
All that speed is converted into intense kinetic energy and hits Beck in the chest.
Ugh!!
In response a huge shock wave exploded from the middle of the two superhumans who clashed.
Heiser’s ample cheeks tremble and his heavily stretched arms twitch faintly.
Beck laughed maniacally beyond the hammer which could not go any further no matter how intense the booster’s flames became.
“Speaking of bees that pig doesn’t know this place very well yet.”
“…This profit!!”
The heavy bear shape floating behind Beck seems to be looking down at him and laughing at him.
Unbelievable strength that allows him to accurately hold the front of the hammer with his skinny long arms.
Beck said his red eyes burning with anger.
“No one can give that to you but yourself.”
Wow!!!
The front of the hammer made of thick steel begins to crumple in response to Beck’s grip strength.
Only then did Heizer whose complexion turned pale hurriedly try to pull out the hammer but it was already too late.
Agria and other magicians noticed the incident and immediately poured out their firepower but it was useless.
Beck took a step forward at once broke the rail that was restraining him and pushed the head of the hammer into Hazer’s left shoulder.
bloody fight
Kwaaaaaaaaaa!!!
Blood spurts out from the devastation caused by the blue laser.
“Ugh….!!”
Hazer fell down clutching his chest with a face that seemed like he was going out of his mind.
The handle of the hammer he had been swinging just moments ago was penetrating his shoulder lengthwise upside down.
Gulp gulp…!
Bright red blood dripping down the sack.
While Hazer was looking at the red drop of blood in shock Beck kicked Hammer’s head hard with his shoe.
Kwazizik!!
The shaft of the hammer stuck in his chest could not overcome the force and shook up and down digging deep into Hazer’s flesh and he unable to bear it let out a painful scream.
Beck’s cool spear blade which neutralized Hazer with just two strokes of his hand was aimed straight at his thick neck.
Just before that a butt flew out of nowhere at high speed and caught Beck’s attention.
[Turn Blaze]
Wow!!
The faint embers left at the end of the butt exploded and turned into a huge flame that hit Beck’s face.
While Beck hesitated at the unexpected attack method other team members who understood Lennok’s intentions moved quickly to save Hazer.
Scum!
Agria aims his laser at Beck’s chest Zod uses his energy to attract attention and Kaney instantly supports Hazer and disappears.
However even in the midst of this Zod who was struck in the side by Beck’s whip-like kick that reacted was thrown to the ground.
Quang!
“Kahaak….!!”
Zod covered in blood as a reward for allowing a single attack rolled on the floor and convulsed like crazy.
The pain that exceeded my limit caused me to lose my senses and fall into panic.
Skillful spearmanship that makes full use of long limbs and overwhelming range.
The spear and kicks that come in like a whip are so powerful and cruel that they cannot be tolerated even once.
Beck didn’t want to repeat the same mistake so he slashed the long spear at Zod without even shaking off the flames on his body.
He is fully aware of the fact that if he kills even one more person his chances of winning will drastically increase.
Lennok’s hastily launched shield blocks Zod’s path but it is not enough.
Beck Clinton’s spear shaft which shattered a thin force field with a single wave of his hand fell down like a mace.
Just before his head was smashed Agria rushed in and received Beck’s attack again.
Paaaaaaaa!!!
A distorted clock.
The bright blue magic light flickers and shock waves rush out in all directions completely wiping away the ground.
The two wide-open hands suddenly turned into pure white metal panels and were absorbing the amount of impact Beck gave off.
In return both of her arms were crushed beyond recognition but she succeeded in bringing Zod back to life.
Beck Clinton looked down at her as she gritted her teeth and trembled with a cold sneer.
“Speaking of the lump of scrap metal… Since things don’t seem to be working out all sorts of bugs are starting to attract me.”
“……”
Agria did not answer. Instead he just quietly looked down at his own two arms.
Considering that she belongs to Cybrid Echo her two mechanical arms are a product of magical engineering that can be replaced.
But even so there was an inexplicable regret on Agria’s face.
The moment Beck remembered the emotions in that gaze and raised his spear to pierce the two men and women standing side by side.
“Step back.”
Waves of bright blue electricity poured down from the sky like rain.
It’s a joke!!!
Even if the power of a single strand is not that threatening to Beck if that much firepower is allowed in bunches the aftermath will be severe.
At the same time as Beck took a step back Lennok moved.
Phew….!!
Lennoc who had placed his hand on Zod’s shoulder as he fell to the floor and trembled walks forward as if to cover him.
Zod is known for his sharp judgment and ability to intervene appropriately but to put it conversely this is the same as saying that he is the most average and unique among the team members.
So far he has tried to deal damage to Beck without crossing the line like walking on a knife’s edge but he paid the price for inadvertently trying to do something beyond his capabilities while buying time to save Hazer.
“……”
Agria who lost both arms looks up at Lennok with a complicated expression.
Lennok could guess the meaning of that gaze to some extent.
The reason why she who was concentrating on providing rear support suddenly jumped forward to protect a teammate she had never met before.
It must have been a struggle to make up for the shortcomings shown to Lennok in the last operation.
Lennok knew very well that she was not a generous person who would risk her life to save a teammate she had never seen before.
But what does that matter?
As a result Agria and other team members did their best according to Lennok’s will whether voluntarily or unwillingly.
No it bought more time than Lennok expected.
Enough to achieve what he wants.
“Kay take the rest of the team and run far back.”
There was no answer.
All he could hear was the sound of the wind passing by his ears and the sound of the two balloons disappearing behind him.
As a result she did not suffer any injuries while carrying out the request but Lennok had no intention of criticizing her clever stance.
There needs to be at least one person like her who takes care of their own well-being in order for things to be taken care of like this.
Kwaaaa!!
Only then did Beck who had cut off the electric currents slowly floating in the air approached and looked down at Lennok from his high gaze.
The shape of a turtle floating lazily behind him.
That must be the fighting method of warriors who imbue themselves with the spirits of their ancestors.
And it is probably no coincidence that in Dyke’s first operation there were traitors using the same technology.
Beck who was quietly staring at Lennok shook his head and said.
“I said I smelled something familiar with the boss… and it turned out to be a lightning magician.”
“……..”
As Lennok openly ignored those words a murderous smile appeared on Beck’s lips.
“You’d better look forward. I will break off all of your limbs and then take out your internal organs one by one and show you right in front of your eyes. How dare you…”
There was no need to hear anything more than that.
It was a waste of time to even listen to nonsense.
I drew out my magical power as if it was being lifted up and hit it straight into the image I had built up inside me.
[Lightning Bound]
I’m so sorry!!!!
At that moment the huge sphere of electricity that appeared before Beck’s eyes exploded and at the same time a mass of electricity split into hundreds of branches swept everywhere.
Quaaaaaaa!!
As the ground near the railway station bursts open rusted pieces of railroad tracks fly in all directions.
A broken traffic light standing far away stumbled and fell to the ground unable to overcome the vibration.
Hwaaaaa!!
The shape of a bear rushing towards Lennok through a blue electric storm.
It waved its long arms and legs in all directions instantly narrowed the distance took a step forward and hit the spear pole diagonally.
The moment you take a step the ground is crushed and every time you swing your arm the air is distorted and a strange force of gravity wraps around your limbs.
A tragedy of unbelievable power created solely by pure strength.
The power to shatter Lennok’s shield from the front is an explosive power comparable to that of an anti-tank weapon.
If you were hit directly it wouldn’t be surprising if the shield shattered like a window like before.
But the result was completely different from before.
Couuuuuuuuuuuuuuut!!!
“…..!!”
Beck’s eyes widened as he saw the spear blade blocked by the unfolded shield and Lennok who did not miss the opportunity unleashed a shock spell with all his might and struck Beck’s head.
Kwaang!! Kwaang!!
Two strikes aimed at the temple.
“Big…!!”
It was quite a shock but Beck lightly shook his head and started a counterattack.
He significantly increased his speed took a step forward and fired two thrusts towards Lennok’s waist and knees.
A flash-like attack that changes the timing slows down the breathing and steals the gap while stepping through the steps.
It is a quick attack that can never be responded to with the mere physical ability of the magician.
Even if he blocked it with a shield Lennok’s shield would not be strong enough to block a series of attacks.
Wow!!
However this time too the vaguely tilted shield blocked Beck’s second consecutive attack and Beck’s body losing balance fell forward slightly.
The gap that arises when the confidence that an attack will work goes astray.
Lennok who did not miss the opportunity dropped a ball of cold air on his head tightened his limbs extended his gravity bind and fired it at Beck.
Beck couldn’t avoid the cold restraint but his complexion changed completely when he saw the purple whip.
He clearly knows that once he is bound by Gravity Bind it will be difficult to avoid the wizard’s high-power spells.
With his strength he breaks the cold that restrains his body and throws his body to the side.
The sudden movement cracked Beck’s skin but he didn’t care.
Wood-dud-duk..!!
A violent sound as if a part of a muscle was being torn rang out but in the end his choice was right.
A bright red fireball narrowly missed his side and fell in the middle of the railway station creating a strong heat wave.
Quaaaaaaa!!
“Khuu…..!!”
Beck who was completely free from the restraint of the cold stood up while rubbing his numb face.
Beck said to Lennok as he was hit by the hot air that melted the skin on his face.
“I was wondering what kind of trick they had used since they kept blocking my attacks but now I see that they were using a very reckless method.”
“……..”
“It’s the compression and concentration of the shield. “I’ve heard that it’s theoretically possible but I never thought there would be a crazy person doing something like that in front of me…”
After muttering that Beck erased his smile and raised his spear.
“Let’s see how long we can keep going like that.”
Beck’s words were vague but Lennok understood exactly what he meant.
After just three attacks he had a perfect understanding of how Lennok stopped his attack.
There are 5 shields that Lenno can use to protect his body in a circle around his body.
The amount of shock that a single shield can handle is limited and the defense power does not increase dramatically by layering multiple layers.
In the end it would be useless for someone as skilled as Beck who can tear five shields apart like sheets of paper with a single spear strike.
In order to face an opponent with such strong strength from the front Lennog had given up protecting other parts of his body and had been practicing the application of concentrating his shield on one point.
The shield is released according to the timing and hit point of Beck’s attack and a bundle of shields is piled up in the corresponding local area in an instant.
Even if the same magical power is used the power increases dramatically if the range area is narrowed.
The blocking power of Lennok’s shield which had given up its spherical shape and was concentrated in one place was exceeding the limits of what he could originally use.
‘I thought I would meet someone like this someday.’
Lennok thought as he looked up at Beck who stretched out his skinny legs and strode forward.
In this city where monsters like Croken Asilus live and breathe how can we not meet superhumans who have surpassed the limits of human flesh?
Of course until now there was no one as strong as the monstrous crocodile giant but Lennok continued to research other countermeasures instead of trusting his own shield.
If you don’t learn mobility magic all Lennok can do is take the enemy’s attacks from the front.
Now that we’ve come this far the problem becomes simple.
In the end will he be able to block Beck’s attacks pouring down on him with the shield that Lennok has individually compressed?
The answer to that conclusion will decide the fate of the fight.
And Lennok has never once doubted his own talent.
“Let’s give it a try.”
A gangster with long legs and a skinny wizard take a step forward at the same time.
The image of a wolf emerging beyond Beck’s tattered suit. Dozens of flashes of light raining down at the same time.
Take it all in stride.
Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-tang!!!
A frustrating yet sharp roar like the constant pounding of dry metal rang out in succession and shock waves whipped around mercilessly.
If you see it with the naked eye and react it will be too late.
All I can do is focus and shake off the sensory sphere that I unleashed with magical power on the opponent in front of me.
At the same time he pulls the trigger of the revolver he is clutching.
[Reload acceleration]
[Intensify trigger]
Ta-ta-ta-tang!!
As flames bloom from the silver muzzle bright red flowers burst out from all over Beck’s long limbs.
The ice freezes beneath your feet and dozens of bright blue electric currents violently strike the air rushing from both the bottom and the top.
The revolver’s muzzle and the fireballs fired in succession hit Beck’s whole body violently.
Kwaaaaaaaaaa!!!
conclusion
“Khaaah…!!”
Although they only failed once the counterattack was very strong.
Looking at Beck’s wide-eyed face Lennok nodded inwardly.
His monstrous strength speed that surpasses that of a human and strong willpower that do not match his skinny body are impressive but if you have closely observed the way he uses his strength up to this point you can easily spot his weaknesses.
An ability that becomes dramatically stronger every time the image of a certain animal comes to mind.
To put it the other way around it’s no different from saying that every time you change form your other abilities become relatively weaker.
And Lennok was confident that he could deliver an effective blow at any time as long as Beck did not take the form of a turtle.
“Tsk! “You bastard…!!”
Beck with his face contorted like a demon immediately changed the form that appeared behind him and stretched out his left foot.
Goooooong!!
The shape of a bison rising as its outstretched stepping foot digs deep into the ground.
The intense magical power in the spear becomes a heavy wave and races through it.
Are you still planning on destroying the shield from the front even after experiencing bitterness?
It is not a wrong decision.
If Beck could just break through the shield right here it would be very easy to take Lennok’s life.
Even though he suffered a considerable blow his tenacity in choosing to attack head-on again is surprising.
Lennok also saw the attack and raised his magic power once more.
Second clash.
Kwaaaaa!!!
A deafening roar erupted and shock waves erupted once again.
The ground on which Beck was standing was unable to withstand the force and created a large crater behind him.
However the regime put in place by his elongated right arm could not penetrate Lennok’s shield this time.
Lennok’s shield which was concentrated on one side in the same way as before this time rotated quickly and deflected his hit.
“Damn it…!!”
The reaction of a blow that gave all its might but ended up in vain.
In a situation where there are quite a few injuries the price of losing one’s unreasonable efforts is high.
The accumulated damage from the revolver bullets lodged in various parts of his body and the injuries inflicted by Zod and the laser fired by Agria began to eat away at his body at once.
“Cough…!!”
And beyond Lennok collapsed clutching his chest and coughing dryly.
Beck’s attack itself was successfully blocked but the shock wave that erupted through it was so strong that it even hit Lennok’s body.
If I hadn’t activated the ring of Freyice to protect my internal organs and skeleton it would have been a normal shock for this weak body to be twisted inward and outward.
But Lennok held on frantically inhaling the smoke from the tobacco in his mouth.
A few items of the beginning of the year that I purchased separately from Plumber’s Orchard. Among them Defiler-92 was highly recommended by the old man in the orchard.
It is a drug specialized for pain relief that suppresses pain by artificially crushing the senses but there will be times when it can be helpful in battles where you cannot foresee the future.
For Lennok who was putting down his shield for the first time and going into battle with a superhuman with his bare body it was an item he needed more than anything else.
Fortunately it is only the five senses that become dull and the sensing ability using magic still operates sharply.
Lennok stood up with difficulty rubbing his numb palms gritting his teeth and slashing his magic towards the ground.
[Sink Hole]
A pit formed beneath Beck’s feet swallowing up his body that had not yet recovered from the aftermath of the crash.
Lennoc holding the revolver with both hands pulled the trigger one after another toward the bottom of the pit.
[Burst Compensation]
[Impact Strengthening]
Ta-ta-ta-ta-tang!!
The blind muzzle swings in all directions spewing out flames and angry bullets head into the pit looking for growth.
Due to the effect of the auxiliary magic each time I took a step a faint shock wave erupted from inside the pit and the dirt floor shook in response.
[Reverse Gravity]
Wood-dud-deud-deuk….!!
Not only that he pulls out the nearby clock tower that Agria was stepping on and slams it into the pit.
A stone pillar about 3 meters high draws a parabola and falls under Lennok’s touch.
Quaaaaaaa!!
Only after turning his head upside down toward the pit and seeing the locked-in clock tower did Lennoc catch his breath and slowly step back.
“Whoa….”
With trembling hands I slowly remove the tobacco I was holding from my mouth.
He had been biting his teeth so tightly that there were clearly bloody teeth marks on the end of the butt.
Did he die?
Lennok wasn’t sure.
The other team members prepared various things while wasting their time fighting against Beck but only two of them were used in the clash so far.
If it weren’t for the power of the new drug taken in the meantime I wouldn’t have been able to even experience this lull.
And as if not to disappoint Lennok’s expectations the clock tower that was deeply embedded in the pit began to wriggle loudly.
Uzijijijik!!!
The clock whose hands had already stopped was crushed in a hand protruding from the ground and long limbs protruded from within.
A picture of Beck Clinton in complete disrepair.
However the two eyes were shining brightly with shiny life.
“Kaaaaak..!!”
Tsk!
He spat out the impurities mixed in his mouth along with his broken teeth and glared at Lennoc as if he were going to kill him.
“It was long wasn’t it?”
“……”
Wounds all over the body. Drops of blood flowing between the collar. Limbs twitching from continuous fighting.
Despite his appearance being noticeably more ruined than before a vicious smile appeared on Beck’s face.
Beck growled rolling his shoulders and loosening his stiff neck.
“You’d better look forward. “I’ll drag you directly to the boss and show you what it’s like to live because you can’t die!!”
“no.”
Lennok responded with a tired face.
“It’s over now.”
“……what?”
Churrrrrrrr!!
At that moment the clock tower stuck upside down behind Beck’s back shines brightly.
A purple magic circle created by drawing an elongated circle as if the hands of a clock were spinning.
Two strong whip protruding from within instantly grabbed Beck’s body and pulled him to the clock tower.
Wow!!
“This is…!!!”
Beck’s complexion turned pale as he belatedly realized the situation.
This feeling of being tied up and pressing down heavily on my entire body.
This terrible sense of confinement that once experienced can never be forgotten.
The gravity-type binding magic [Gravity Bind] came out from a completely unexpected place and bound him.
Considering how hard Beck had worked during the battle to avoid this magic it couldn’t have been a completely meaningless ending.
“In the end one gets caught.”
Lennok said as he slowly walked forward towards Beck.
Lennok wasn’t just watching in vain while the other team members were sleeping and fighting against Beck.
An enchantment that has been developed through continuous research.
They finally succeeded in retroactively applying the results of that research to moving objects.
The fact that Lennok wasted the time given to him after the second clash by suddenly pulling out the clock tower and throwing it was all part of that work.
And Beck completely unaware of Lennok’s aim was immediately caught in the attempt.
Even a skilled warrior cannot deal with applied magic that penetrates the blind spot of perception.
‘Although additional research is needed to apply it to items such as firearms on a regular basis… it has been proven that it can be used effectively in immediate combat.’
Although it was no doubt a considerable achievement Lennok decided to focus on the task at hand.
I quietly look down at Beck’s face struggling like crazy bound by the whip of gravity.
Did Beck know that he would one day look up at Lennok in this way that day when they met at Jenny’s bar?
While calmly ignoring Beck’s cries that were already indescribable Lennok raised his magic power with familiar movements.
Kiiiiing!!
The magical energy thrown into the sky spreads widely scattering bright blue flashes of light.
Beck who senses that the magic that instantly burned down the train car will fall on his head goes crazy.
“Fuck…. kill me.
