Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 614



The Genius Wizard Who Takes Medicine Episode 614

Ex Machina (1)

“The Lyman Workshop was closed these days.”

“The owner there was quite an unusual person so it was quite interesting to drop off the equipment and hear his thoughts. “You also posted a review.”

It’s been a few days since Lennok locked the door to his workshop and concentrated on modifying new equipment.

The rumor that the workshop which had been a hot topic for a while was closed spread quickly.

Among them there are quite a few customers who brought equipment to be entrusted to Lennok and then swallowed their disappointment when they saw the door closed.

“The door is closed but it looks like the workshop furnace is still running?”

“From what I heard there is a rumor that he is concentrating on closing training after being pushed out of the selection ceremony.”

“…You mean you were a martial artist not an engineer because of the closed pipe training?”

“Anyway it doesn’t seem like he has moved or quit the workshop altogether so let’s wait and see.”

“The workshop district reservation app is already full of turn numbers. When will it be updated…”

In the middle of the night people passing through the workshop district while grumbling disappear one by one and there are hardly any passers-by left on the streets well past midnight.

Black shadows slowly began to rise and approach from various parts of the workshop district centered around Lennok’s workshop.

Saaagh…!!

In the darkness Inyoung approaches gliding through the night streets wrapped in even thicker darkness like clothes.

With a faint green eye glow they quickly confirmed each other’s locations.

[….]

[….]

They exchange opinions without even saying a word decide the order and timing on the spot using hand gestures and return to their assigned positions.

In the shadows a hand wrapped in a thick glove quietly opened the locked door of the workshop and carefully pushed it open.

Sigh….

Some flow through the cracks in a window some pass through a ventilation hole in the roof and some walk out through a wall on the spot.

In an instant the shadows entered the workshop and began to quietly look around the interior.

[….]

Unlike when the workshop first opened and began accepting customers the landscape was chaotic with all kinds of mechanical parts piled up like a mountain almost like miscellaneous items.

Various production tools including hammers are hung on the wall as if on display melted smashed or split.

Even among the debris of parts and discarded mechanical equipment piled up so much that the workbench could not be seen the shadows did not make any noise.

Silence in which no reverberation of their movements can be felt even though they are definitely there as if the noise they are making is being sucked into the shadows.

However even though the shadows had successfully infiltrated the workshop they began to look even more nervous and watchful of their surroundings.

A rustling noise suddenly rang out from behind the shadow as he slowly placed his hand on his waist.

“…Ugh!!”

[…!!]

Immediately the shadows took up positions each holding different firearms from their waists and aiming in all directions.

An incredibly agile move. There was a degree of theft that could not be hidden in the movement to divide and divide the border area in an instant.

[….]

The image of shadows moving at the same time as the shadow holding the assault rifle in the lead gestures.

I slowly turn around to the back of the mountain of miscellaneous where I heard the sound.

Centering on the location where the noise was heard the shadows divide their positions and numbers and appear as if they are attacking from three sides at the same time aiming their guns.

Slam!!

The heavy sound of a magazine ringing for the first time. However the person with the gun pointed in front of him was not embarrassed by the feeling of cold metal touching his forehead.

“Umm cooul….”

He just licked his lips with an uncomfortable expression and turned over with heavy breathing.

The shadow looked at the face of a middle-aged man with a bushy beard and raised its gun.

[Who is it?]

[Mouser Blofeld. I am a craftsman who has lived in the lower-level workshop district for a long time.]

The voices of shadows belatedly exchanging information through each other’s communication networks.

[I have never participated in a Meister selection ceremony but I am recognized for my skills and I know many craftsmen. He is a very popular person.]

[Officially this workshop is now under his name. Under the circumstances it is not strange that this person is here… but the target appears to be away.]

[Should I wake him up and interrogate him?]

[no.]

A sharp voice immediately cut off the question from the communication network.

[There is no reason to make a fuss unnecessarily. This is not our goal. It would be better to leave it to sleep like this.]

[….]

[No one has been in or out of the workshop for the past few days. Either they were hiding inside or they escaped through a passage not visible to the outside.]

The shadows slowly widened their distance with silent steps and began to look closely at the structure inside the workshop.

In the thick darkness where you can’t see an inch ahead.

Even in a workshop where the only source of light is the embers that sporadically bounce from an extinguished furnace shadows are not that difficult to observe in the dark.

The green glow of the night vision goggles they are equipped with allows them to clearly see through the darkness and see more than what is invisible.

[There is no space for one person to hide. On the outside it looks close to an ordinary workshop but…]

[I guess I’ll have to look for the secret passage. I heard that these ordinary workshops sometimes employ more sophisticated techniques and designs.]

[The target is a craftsman who specializes in modification technology. We cannot rule out the possibility that the workshop itself was remodeled and made into a passageway…]

The shadow that was muttering like that suddenly raised its head and shifted its gaze.

Lying at the end is the back of another shadow looking closely at a corner of the room.

Seeing the shadow’s sudden reaction the others also stopped their search for a moment and looked back at him.

[Team leader. What’s going on?]

[…I was shaken.]

[yes?]

[The network’s tone wavers briefly only when Brett speaks.]

[leader. Here speaking the names of team members directly is…!]

The moment when the embarrassed shadows stretched out their hands to dissuade the leader.

The leader quickly pulled out a pistol from his waist and shot the same shadow he called Brett in the head.

Taang!!

The sound of a gunshot resounds refreshingly with no intention of hiding it any longer.

Brett’s head which was turned with his back to him was greatly shaken and dark red blood dripped down.

[leader!!]

[What are you doing now!!]

The shadows quickly widened their distance and placed their hands on their waists as the leader suddenly shot and killed a fellow colleague.

[Is this fragging…!!]

“Cool cool…”

Even though the sound of a gunshot rang out right next to him Mouser was choking his appetite and had no intention of waking up.

The air between the shadows heats up with such urgency that its carefree insensitivity feels awkward.

The leader nodded without embarrassment as he saw shadows suddenly surrounding him and reaching for the gun.

[Look at Brett’s body. Don’t you know yet?]

[….]

[It’s already too late.]

Hearing those words the other shadows turned their gaze towards the shadow corpse that had collapsed with difficulty and quietly held their breath.

Kwasik!

This is because Brett’s chest wearing a colorless mechanical suit was rough as if it had been scratched by an animal.

A truly gruesome sight as if one’s heart had been torn apart while still alive.

The blood that flowed from the wound on his chest that had been ripped open by merciless scratching was already half solidified.

[Brett… is dead. Blood coagulation is already underway.]

[Even if he died right before the speed is abnormally fast. This is from the beginning…!!]

[okay. From the beginning.]

The leader who was watching the shadows with his arms crossed spoke.

[From the beginning he was waiting for us without leaving this workshop even for a moment.]

At that moment a strange screaming sound as if steel was being broken by rubbing together came from the ceiling of the vast workshop.

Sigh…!!

Flush!!

Something falls from the air and grabs the shadow’s neck as if swinging a claw.

Slam!!

The shadow that lost half its head died on the spot without even being able to scream.

It was then that the shadows realized that an invisible enemy was hanging above their heads and all raised their guns.

[…I can’t believe it.]

Come on…!!

A huge raven whose entire body is covered in black metal is glaring at the shadows with its red eyes flashing.

The blood dripping from the tip of the sharp beak and claws is so clear that I can’t understand why I didn’t notice it until now.

A crow monster so strange and alien that it is hard to believe that it is lurking in the middle of this secluded workshop.

Even the shape of the automatically manufactured mechanical arm that was stuck between the body and the wings and could not be removed.

Clap clap clap!!

While the shadows stopped in place speechless at the sight a quiet voice was heard from behind them.

“Not a bad design right?”

[…!!]

The shadows who were startled and turned their muzzles back pulled the triggers at once shooting out all the bullets.

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

As if the quiet silence until now had been a lie flames mixed with the intense sound of gunfire filled the room giving off an acrid smell of coal.

A voice that resonates clearly without wavering even in the center of the commotion.

“I entrusted the design to the person who would manipulate it and surprisingly it was chosen well.”

[What nonsense…!!]

“I like the shape that is slightly different from the usual aesthetic sense.”

Among the miscellaneous gears and screws strewn about.

The shadows were speechless when they saw the young man sitting with soot all over his body and holding a screwdriver.

Unknown mechanical arms rising from among the miscellaneous debris had caught and held up all the bullets fired by the shadow with their elongated fingers.

The construction of a system that is precise and agile enough to not only capture the movement of shadows in real time but also react to the speed of bullets on the spot.

The moment when the shadows took a step back realizing that they were not dealing with a powerless engineer but a craftsman who had built his own space.

Slam!!

The claws of the night raven which disappeared as if melting in the air easily jumped over a distance of a dozen meters and grabbed the hearts of the shadows.

[…ah?]

Shadows who die on the spot without even realizing what has hit them.

There is only one leader standing among the shadows falling like a doll whose strings have been cut.

Lennok laughed putting his finger to his mouth as he looked at the leader.

“It’s a little quieter now. yes?”

[….]

Instead of answering those words the leader looked closely at the shape of a crow monster writhing in the corner of the ceiling of the workshop.

I thought its entire body was covered in black metal but it wasn’t even a living animal to begin with.

A giant robot whose entire body was made entirely of metal during the manufacturing process. I can’t even guess what the internal process is like.

The only thing I could know was that the claws of the crow that disappeared after digging into the hearts of the shadows leapt through space without any sign and ripped out the hearts.

[I thought he was a semi-dangerous talent but I was completely wrong.]

The leader who tapped his feet while warming up his body in a sharp voice looked at Lennok and said.

[I wondered what he was doing while stuck in the workshop but was he making a space leaping device? This was a completely crazy bastard.]

“….”

Intervening in space. The leader knew how unrealistic it was to use the technology of leaping and flying a specific material as a weapon.

Time and space. In some sense it is the right of the chosen to handle the two forces that define the basic rules of the world.

It is no different for craftsmen who implement their power not with their own power but with tools.

On the contrary it is a clear fact that incorporating such metaphysical concepts into specific materials is on the one hand more difficult or difficult.

Nevertheless this dirty man wearing a half mask was casually showing off such techniques in front of the shadows.

[Was the reason you participated in the Meister selection ceremony and were eliminated to avoid attracting unnecessary attention?]

“It’s actually surprising that you’re asking about that.”

Lennok laughed fiddling with the iron mask that covered half of his face.

“Didn’t you know roughly what was going on?”

[….]

“The selection ceremony ended reasonably well but I didn’t think it would end there if they knew what I had touched.”

Lennok said throwing away the screwdriver he was fiddling with and standing up.

“In fact it came later than I thought. Thanks to that I prepared longer than necessary.”

From the moment he set up the end of Teremer and left a trace Rennok had been thinking that things might end up like this.

A relic from the old world that the Meisters could not repair even after working on it. Because all of the judges witnessed the fact that Lennok could handle it to some extent.

Officially the results were postponed but some people will want to know more about how Lennok achieved it.

Lennok guessed that they might go beyond that level and covet the ability to repair the relics of the old world itself.

Apart from the modification of the firearm the Raven that is currently facing the shadow agents is another result of Lennok’s constant preparation.

It was an alter ego created to act as a force as a craftsman using equipment used in the automatic manufacturing process.

“Which one?”

asked Lennok coiled beneath the wings of a giant raven.

“Meister and Ex Machina members participated as judges at the selection ceremony. “I wonder who among them wanted to see my face.”

[Hoo are you planning on accepting this invitation?]

The leader asked back as if he was interested.

[I thought he was an ordinary craftsman but he seems much more accustomed to this type of situation than I thought. If I had known in advance I wouldn’t have had to put too much pressure on it.]

He nodded casually kicking the fallen corpses of the shadows.

[You don’t have to worry about killing a few of these guys. If you are willing to cooperate you can do it constructively now….]

“no.”

Lennok who was listening to the leader chuckled.

“Of course I plan to interrogate you and find out who your master is.”

[….]

There was no way I could show a good attitude to the person who trespassed into the workshop and tried to kidnap Lennok.

Only then did the leader realize that he had gone too far and fell silent.

The leader who was standing quietly observing the surroundings suddenly increased his magical power and sprinted forward on the spot.

[In that case we have no choice but to proceed according to the initial strategy…!!!]

Kagagagak!!!

The leader’s body wrapped in a pitch-black mechanical suit unfolded and changed from a human form into a steel beast.

The leader transformed into a strange beast dripping with oil opened his mouth on the spot and tried to devour Mouser not Lennok.

Given the circumstances the two appear to be partners so rather than Lennok being wary of them from the beginning he improvises to take Mouser hostage.

The moment when the beast’s mouth grabbed the leg of the defenseless sleeping mouser and tried to raise its head.

The night crow with its steel wings wide open struck down on the leader’s head like a flash of lightning.

Kwaaaa!!

[Khaaagh!!!]

From all directions parts and miscellaneous items floated in the air due to the impact and then sank as they were pushed away like waves.

However the space where Mouser is sleeping is extremely quiet as if time has stopped.

Only then did the leader realize that Mouser was not sleeping soundly insensitive to external stimuli but was being protected by some kind of means and laughed weakly.

[Yes even though it was made as bait they put some effort into it…?]

“I owe some money. “I can’t let you get hurt.”

When Lennok snapped his fingers the mechanical arms that rose up around him grabbed the leader’s entire body on behalf of the raven and began to dismantle it.

Click click!!

A sharp blade is lit on fire the outer skin is cut off and the fastened screws and parts are removed one by one.

The leader asked as he watched his entire machine-made body disintegrate into pieces on the spot.

[What do you plan to do with me?]

“I plan to disassemble your body into parts.”

Lennok answered.

“It looks like the entire body has been remodeled with magic engineering metal but I will dismantle it all and leave only the thinking circuit to use as parts for my equipment.”

[…what?]

“The storage condition and hardness are very good. “I think it would be a very good piece of equipment if I slightly modified it with firearm parts and used it.”

An answer that only someone who is completely crazy about renovation and maintenance can give.

Even the shadow leader who was in immediate danger of death was momentarily at a loss for words at that absurd answer.

Meanwhile the mechanical arms began to steadily dismantle the body of the giant robot beast.

Clap clap clap!!

“Contrary to appearance the area where the circuitry was concentrated was inside the chest.”

Lennok muttered after checking the location of the inner circuit and skeleton.

“This is why whole body modification is convenient. “You can completely change the structure of your body by modifying its weak points or vital points as you wish.”

Weeeeeee!!

The saw blade attached to the inside of the mechanical arm rotates quickly and cuts off the endoskeleton that protects the internal accident circuit parts.

The skeleton made of hard hardness resisted with sparks flying but when magic power was applied to the tip of the saw blade and a cutting magic was applied it could not hold out for long.

Kagagagak!!!

Lennoc cut off the endoskeleton and took out an object that looked like a transparent glass crystal from inside staring at it with interest.

“No matter how many times I see it Machina’s advanced technology is truly amazing. Now the thought circuit itself has been materialized and consciousness is contained within this sphere…”

Lennok looked into the glass crystal as he said that but then fell silent unable to continue speaking.

The new image of the two arms engraved on the crystal circuit inside the thinking circuit.

The shape of the pattern is too unnatural to be engraved on such a transparent glass bead.

Lennok had once encountered a being with exactly the same appearance as this in the satellite city of Bayrutz.

A huge new statue used to store data from the old world that the doctor brought in for interim financial statements.

It was a sign of pandemonium.
