    Growth and Proof (3)

    A night street drenched in rain.

    Twenty people stand with their heads down in the pouring rain on the empty asphalt where there is not even a single car let alone a person.

    Shoot!!!

    Although they are scattered in a disorderly manner without any formation no one loses their posture even in the pouring rain.

    “…it’s not too late. Should we rush in now?”

    The man who was standing at the front of the group spoke at the words heard among the group.

    “I must have said several times that we need to wait until the observation of the magical power pattern is completed.”

    As if protesting those words another voice behind the man spoke.

    “But it’s already been five minutes since the signal was lost. “There is a high probability that he would remain silent for more than 5 minutes against someone of such outstanding ability…”

    Perfect!

    There was no answer.

    As soon as the man snapped his fingers a red eye light emerged from the darkness and the upper body of the voice speaking to him was split diagonally.

    “Heehee…!!”

    While someone was swallowing their screams at the sight of the instantly dead body that could not even react properly a heavy fuselage appeared right behind them and made a quiet noise.

    Click click…!!

    Wriggling with bright red eyes shining through the dark night air is an eight-legged mechanical spider about the size of a bike.

    The fresh blood flowing from between the legs dug into the road clearly reveals the weapon that just cut off the voice.

    There is no proper sign or response. Only the red eyes wandering in the dark rain illuminate the surroundings.

    Dozens of such red eye lights were quietly shining one by one around the superhumans standing in the rain.

    The sight of them waiting for orders occupying the walls of buildings above the streets the rooftops of flower gardens under bridges and the sides of streetlights above traffic lights gave off a different atmosphere from those gathered here now.

    Shhh….

    “I don’t think you understood properly so let me explain it again. “Once we confirm that we will have to deal with lightning in this operation what you will do is decided.”

    The man spoke as he stepped on the hot blood flowing down to his feet in the rain.

    The man muttered as he looked around at the people looking at him with cold eyes.

    “The reason we have been able to maintain security until now is because you are all prisoners whose personal information has been deleted. “It is natural that it is difficult to find traces of people who were originally expunged and would have spent the rest of their lives locked in a single room.”

    Click click.

    The man took out a small terminal from his pocket and began to operate it.

    “In a little while a technical team dispatched from headquarters will build an anti-level 7 defense system in the area and freeze all of Lightning’s magical power. Until then all you have to do is rush into the Dyke branch one by one and take your time. Once the program is installed all you have to do is catch the lightning and bring it in front of me. Do you understand?”

    “….”

    “No it’s okay if you don’t understand. I’ll explain it again and again. “I was wrong.”

    In the darkness the lenses of the glasses the man lifted up glowed coldly.

    “There is no use in getting angry and raising your voice against the earthworms. “I still lack mental discipline.”

    No one was hasty to talk back to the man’s seemingly mocking words.

    This is because the man has just clearly shown that the mechanical spiders standing dead can change at any time with a single signal.

    The magic control suppression chip embedded in their bodies prevents them from even attempting proper resistance.

    If you don’t want to be killed like the superhuman who just talked back to the man you have no choice but to remain silent and follow his orders.

    Fortunately if the anti-level 7 defense system he just mentioned is completed no matter how solid it is it will be difficult to hold out for long.

    The essence of a project that was ambitiously started at the Achilles headquarters level as soon as the ban was lifted.

    Having personally experienced the extent of its power they were keenly aware of the fact that Lightning could never win this battle.

    The only important thing is to wait until the defense system which is coordinated against only one magician is completed.

    That moment when I silently waited for my turn to come hoping that I would be the one alive until the system was completed.

    Wow!!

    Immediately afterwards a heavy seal fell right in front of the man causing a tremendous roar.

    Wiping away the rainwater that was blocking his view the man tapped something that had fallen in front of him with his foot.

    “…What is this?”

    “Ugh….”

    Surprisingly what fell from a height of tens of meters was the appearance of a giant writhing alive.

    The figure with thick iron-like pillars embedded in both arms was a vanguard moving with a spirit messenger named Levi.

    The audience fell silent at the strange sight of a superhuman with outstanding skills capable of working with a special type of magician called Eonryeongsa struggling like a child.

    Only the man standing in front looked confused and started poking the giant with his wet boot.

    “Did you run away after fighting the fast? “But why are you acting like this?”

    “Ugh…!!”

    The image of a giant rolling around groaning in pain but unable to speak properly.

    “It’s a sealing ceremony.”

    Another Inyoung who was watching the man slowly opened her mouth.

    “Seal? Was such an old-fashioned technique still being passed down?”

    “Can I touch it for a moment?”

    As soon as the man nods Inyoung walks up from behind and carefully touches the giant’s body.

    “Of course. “It is a level of sealing that restricts movement as well as most body functions to the minimum.”

    “okay?”

    “The level of skill is… it’s difficult for me to even discuss it. “I can’t even fathom how someone with physical ability can be destroyed so thoroughly.”

    Inyoung who understood the situation by flowing magical energy into the hardened shoulder blades of the giant let out a series of exclamations.

    “Judging from the gunshot wounds on the body it seems like it was caused by a bullet. How could it be so elaborate? At this level it would be impossible to even think properly.”

    In-young who casually examines and admires her colleague who fell after being treated so cruelly is also not in her right mind.

    However the man also nodded as if he understood only after hearing those words.

    “I see… You were the type of person who cared a lot more about performance than I thought.”

    “yes?”

    “What does that mean?”

    The sight of these people questioning the man again without notice.

    But this time instead of snapping his fingers the man twitched his lips with an amused expression.

    “Why would a wizard who has been known to kill everyone who dares do something like this? “I’m telling you to wait because we’re all going to make it like this.”

    “….”

    “It’s a very cute idea… His thoughts are quite insidious as befits a guy who used to roll around in the basement.”

    Only then did the people understand what the man said and fell silent.

    Less than 5 minutes have passed since the signal between Levy and the giant was cut off.

    In that short period of time I realized why the wizard who killed the Eonryeongsa and reduced the giant to a pulp had acted like this.

    I don’t want to show off my power against the superhumans who are running rampant in this city.

    Just a bold declaration that you too will make something like this and display it in front of the governor.

    The man who was deep in thought looked up at the building rising above his head and opened his mouth.

    “It’s a change of plan. “All ready to rush in.”

    “Yes yes?”

    Unlike Inyoung who hurriedly spoke in a slightly embarrassed voice the others silently checked their equipment and began to increase their magic power.

    These are people who are perfectly accustomed to killing people and committing crimes.

    Under the neatly organized logic of power most of them were capable people who had no hesitation.

    The man looked back at them and nodded.

    “I tied up the two smartest guys and sent them in first but they couldn’t last even five minutes.”

    “….”

    “Even if we send one or two people up they will only be at the level of toys. “If that’s the case we should press it with numbers.”

    Saaaaa!!

    With those words the spiders that had been standing dead began to wriggle all at once and furiously flail their legs buried in the darkness.

    Spiders gliding through the rainy streets and quickly climbing up the walls of the Dyke branch building.

    The man leaving behind those who hesitated at the sight of the bloody sight looked up at the building with sharp eyes and licked his lips with his tongue.

    “This is the sixth demonstration of 71-Araneia a spiritual weapon specializing in magic and security fighting. “Would you like to see how long you can endure?”

    * * *

    “I always think about it…”

    Lennok who was secretly looking out the window wiggled his hands and muttered.

    “It seems like there is no end to the people who have gone crazy in this city.”

    [We succeeded in hacking part of the database of the Master Kertritz prison facility.]

    Dabi who was shaking inside the court said.

    [Compared to prisoners locked up inside the facility data on prison escapees is relatively easy to access possibly due to their mugshots. Levior Mortensen 85 years old. Level 7 Eonryeongsa. He is a former cult leader and is accused of trying to establish a new country with 5000 believers.]

    “…This man was the leader of a cult?”

    Lennok looked down at Levy’s corpse with his head blown off with a bewildered expression.

    [It is said that the plan was to lure people through word of mouth and settle them in a satellite city. Because of his unusual skills he was sentenced to life imprisonment instead of the death penalty through a judicial deal and occasionally cooperated with the city government in the form of a special pardon. It is said that he escaped during a terrorist attack five years ago and has been missing ever since.]

    “If you become a level 7 criminal the charges against you are enormous…”

    The bigger problem is that these guys with such a grand criminal record have started walking around these streets without a care in the world.

    As the prohibition was lifted level 7 completers who had secretly refrained from activities also began to move for their own benefit in earnest.

    Until now even in the shadows there wasn’t much to do with castle-level people unless they were quite big names but that would be proof that this city was becoming more and more messed up.

    “As far as I know there are quite a few crazy people locked up in such detention facilities… If these people continue to be released one by one that will be a problem.”

    [It seems to have been an open secret that the city council used the prisoners on death row in exchange for their power and skills. Dyke’s strategy office predicts that if the current trend continues it will probably get worse.]

    “When did you steal information from Dyke again?”

    [I stole the security code during a meeting with a person named Panoa. Once the old code was updated it became difficult to access but I couldn’t resist this opportunity and stopped.]

    Lennok laughed at the sight of Dabi swinging his front paw as if to steal something.

    “Well done. If what you say is true things like this will become much more frequent in the future.”

    [If you have time it would be a good idea to look at this material as well. This is a document that was kept at the highest level of security in the strategy room and based on observations and statistics over the past few decades the trend of increasing levels of magic users has dramatically increased -]

    “I’ll listen to you later.”

    Lennok stood up after interrupting Dabi and lifted the object he was holding in his hand.

    Slam!!

    With that hand gesture the revolver was assembled in an instant placed in Lennok’s hand and began to emit bright blue magic light.

    Lennok quietly sniffed the bullets in the revolver’s cylinder and muttered.

    “It’s much later than I thought.”

    Faaah!!

    Immediately afterwards a harpoon rushes towards Lennok’s solar plexus.

    The moment you extend the shield and strike it away the harpoon tip explodes like a bomb sending out its contents noisily in all directions.

    Doo doo doo!!

    Dozens of wires were installed like bullets in the room blocking Lennok’s passage.

    At the same time several mechanical spiders smashed the window and rushed towards Lennok at once.

    Kiriririk!!

    Dozens of wires filled the vast lobby of the 7th floor of the building where Lennok was standing.

    The mechanical spiders that came in between them like spider webs moved in unison and rushed towards Lennok.

    The spiders that rushed in first closed the distance and put their bodies in and the spiders that followed took out machine guns and all kinds of magical weapons from inside their bodies and warmed them up.

    The first attack was delivered in perfect harmony as if the spirit weapons occupying the top bottom left and right sides of Lennok were all one body riding on wires extending in all directions.

    Quaaaaaaa!!

    As soon as the fire was over the door at the end of the opposite hallway was shattered and the swordsman holding two blades ran through the spiders.

    A sword play that quickly cuts off a once tattered shield. Firepower support from mechanical spiders that are not far behind.

    Before Lennok could react to the sight a cold-looking man appeared after smashing the wall on the other side swinging the scythe in his hand.

    Saaaaa!!

    In one attack it cleanly cuts through the tattered shield and passes through the carapace shield like a ghost.

    An attack using a spirit body. That’s also a considerable level of magic.

    Lennok also moved without hesitation.

    [Specification of spatial jump coordinates. Jump distance 5m. Casting time 0.25 seconds. Magic injection completed.]

    Paaaa!!

    Consumes 30% of your magic power in an instant to jump 5 meters forward.

    A burning lightning bolt is pierced straight into the spine of a man who is wandering in the empty air.

    [Sea and lightning]

    Paaaaaa!!

    It explodes from the inside of the man’s back causing a dazzling flower of electric light to bloom in the middle of the spine.

    Lennok immediately swung his hand leaving behind the man who could not even resist and turned into a handful of blood.

    The shape of a huge hammer smashing the ceiling and hitting it at the same time as the shell shield moves above the head.

    Wow!!

    Lennok chuckled as he saw rocket-like flames coming out of the other side of the hammer.

    “I’ve seen something similar.”

    [System control completed. It’s so easy!]

    Kwaaaa!!!

    Dabi’s hacking ability instantly hacks the hammer’s ability.

    Overloads the remaining magical energy within the weapon and increases the flames emitted from the other side of the hammer.

    Fuuuuuu!!

    Unable to overcome his power he thrust the icy blade into the face of the bewildered giant through the exploding hammer.

    [Icebreaking weight: explosion]

    [White Ghost Snow Play]

    The blade refined like an awl penetrates and explodes at the same time. Immediately after the blades of ice exploded and turned into a sharp snowstorm.

    Knock knock!!

    An eerie sound that pierces entire flesh and muscle. One step later I heard the sound of a heavy body falling down on my back.

    Ignoring the corpse lying behind me I unfolded my magic while holding on to a strand of wire hanging in the air with my gloved hand.

    A sophisticated magic that combines three different attributes and systems of unique magic alchemy and barrier magic is assembled in the body like breathing.

    Lightning class unique magic: Alchemy application

    Gyeolgyejin conversion: granting magnetism

    [Magnetic concentration: homogeneous group]

    It’s a joke!!!

    Barrier techniques that require prior preparation can be created in an instant as a catalyst through alchemy and the results are realized based on unique magic.

    Finally it uses the fallen caster’s thoughts as prey to instantly change reality and reveal itself.

    The purple lightning that extends from Lennok’s fingertips travels through wires installed throughout the lobby and reaches the spiders on top of it.

    Kiriririk!!!

    A season where he captures and penetrates the mechanical spiders who were sharing his time while thoroughly distracting Lennok.

    It does not end at the point where the function stops the moment it is penetrated.

    Spiders connected by strong magnetic forces began to come together with tremendous attraction.

    Tdu-duk-duk!!!

    The massive body of the mechanical spider is unable to overcome the pull from all directions and is gathered in one place.

    In the violent flow even Lennok and the superhumans who were fighting at close range become helplessly entangled and their flesh begins to crumble.

    “Kaaaaaaaaaa!!!”

    “Get off!!”

    The bodies of the superhumans who fell at Lennok’s feet are caught between the bodies of the mechanical spiders and are crumpled into one.

    With that force even the joints and bones of the superhumans are helplessly shattered and pulled as if they were reduced to a single piece of meat.

    Even the others screamed in fear at the enormous force that made them unable to resist.

    Kiririririk!!

    “Oh no!!”

    “This is not this this is…!!”

    “Aaaaa!!”

    Wood-dud-dud-deuk!!!

    Dozens of mechanical spiders wriggle their legs in a disgusting way unable to withstand the pressure generated between them and even the crunching flesh and blood flowing out.

    Lennok looked down at the bodies of those who had gathered together and had lost their breath and began to walk out of the room.

    The giant that was thrown down earlier is a specimen of those who should be put on display alive.

    This is a model for the people I will kill from now on.
