Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 619



The Genius Wizard Who Takes Medicine Episode 619

Ex Machina (6)

“you…!!”

The assassin who belatedly recognized Lennok’s presence glared at him with a sharp gaze.

Lennok raised his head ignoring the sharp slash of death coming from the assassin.

A huge statue of the two-armed god standing in a dark cavity.

It is an object brought by the doctor for interim settlement in Pandemonium and a magical device used to store retrieve and exchange knowledge and power from the old world.

This is because the object suddenly appeared in front of Lennok’s eyes within the coordinates returned after tracking down the assassin.

“Fuck you…!!”

The assassin gave Lennok a murderous look as if he was going to kill him at any moment but even so he could not easily move from the spot.

Only then did Lennok who was staring at the assassin’s figure exactly realize that fact and nod.

“It feels good. Did you try to remove the bullet knowing you were being followed?”

Blood is dripping down the inside of his rolled up forearm and he is holding a thin knife resembling a scalpel in his hand.

Self-injury that cannot even be attempted without the determination to dig into one’s own flesh and remove the bullet.

He probably guessed that the presence of bullets would be a hindrance right after he succeeded in escaping.

“It’s impossible unless you have similar experience… It seems like you’ve carried out this type of assassination operation several times.”

“….”

“Side squad right?”

At Lennok’s direct question the assassin’s demeanor became even sharper.

Although he didn’t show it on the outside it was proof that he was caught off guard in an instant.

However from the moment Lennok encountered Idupalbi’s identity he was convinced that the assassin was an agent of Side Squad.

The pattern on the new statue that was confirmed through Commissioner Langmuir seemed to be the core strength that formed the group called Side Squad.

Did he think there was no reason to remain silent once his identity was discovered?

The assassin glanced at the statue of Idupalbi located behind him and quickly shot at Lennok.

“I don’t know how you found out about this place but if you keep your mouth shut and turn around obediently I won’t kill you. “From the beginning my only goal was Narcissa Solmer.”

“But you also shot the colleague who taught you how to shoot.”

“….”

This man was the one who taught the soldier who came to Lennok bad maintenance habits and deliberately prevented him from getting the zero point.

The assassin’s face seemed to blur for a moment at Lennok’s calm reply but he quickly regained his composure.

“I have dedicated years in the security department to this moment. “I can’t help but make small sacrifices…”

“Do you know exactly where this new item is used?”

“…!!”

Lennok passed by his father-in-law and stood in front of the statue of Idupalbi.

While the startled assassin looked back Lennok touched one arm of the statue and spoke.

“I thought it was impossible for multiple items like this to exist but the appearance is slightly different from what I remembered. “The inherent power is not that great.”

“….”

“No looking at it now the material itself….”

It is not the hard ore that Lennok remembered but a form of bronze that gradually rusts and crumbles.

Lennok who instantly realized that the statue standing here was not the item the doctor left behind looked away.

“It was an imitation. “Is this an object made to be used simply by projecting the power of a god?”

Without waiting for the assassin’s answer Lennok lowered his head.

“It makes no sense to keep such a precious item hidden near the workshop district. Another original is hidden somewhere in the Machine City….”

The new image of Lee Dupalbi that the doctor used in the interim financial statements and the second new image that exists somewhere in the Machine City.

And what is now in front of Lennok is a replica created to imitate the second statue and project its abilities.

‘Considering that traces of relics and knowledge from the old world stand out here and there I wonder if the doctor has ever worked in Machina.’

The end of the old world’s Demon King Teremer.

The technology used by Side Squad agents to capture consciousness in thought circuits through whole body modification.

An old world artifact transformation imitation technique contained in the pendant that Narcissa carried.

And even the image of the Idupalbi God statue that Lennok is facing now.

Traces of the old world and reverence for knowledge can be seen everywhere to the extent that it is too much to pass it off as a coincidence.

In response to Lennok’s words the assassin did not ask any more questions.

All he did was grit his teeth and stab the knife he was holding in his hand into my forearm without hesitation.

Phew!!

“Whoa….”

With a faint frown he massages the inside of his forearm muscles without hesitation.

Fresh blood flowing along the blade and dripping down the fingers and forearm even the flesh was torn and cut.

Teeing!!

The bullet which was deflected by pushing it with the tip of the hand knife falls helplessly at the assassin’s feet.

Without even thinking about stopping the bleeding in his forearm he raised his hand knife towards Lennok. The blade had become tattered as if it had been torn off.

said the assassin.

“This hand knife is made from Grazaia ore. “Even if it gets hit by a shell right in front of your nose it ends up bending a little.”

“….”

“It says that this object was briefly used to extract bullets. “Do you know what this means?”

“well.”

Lennok laughed.

“I don’t think you need to brag about being scammed in front of me.”

In reality Lennok’s residual magic contained in the bullet ate away at the blade and damaged it but Lennok did not bother to tell him that fact.

Wasn’t the assassin also expecting a normal answer?

“Hehe…!”

The figure of the assassin smiling darkly appeared right in front of Lennok’s nose and kicked him hard on the shoulder.

Kwaaaa!!

The image of Lennok bouncing and rolling around in the middle of a dark cavity.

Without stopping there he catches up to Lennok and roughly presses his neck with one arm and punches him down.

Suddenly!!

asked the assassin who had taken down Lennok in one fell swoop by climbing on the sliding figure with its back split on the floor.

“Are you a bailiff?”

“….”

“If you were a member of the Mechanized Fire Corps you wouldn’t even want to talk to me like this. “Who is behind it?”

“Don’t you think the order is wrong?”

A voice that is incredibly calm despite being kicked and pressed against the neck.

While the assassin was startled by the tone of voice Lennok continued to answer.

“You were the one who plotted the assassination of Narcissa Solmer. “Rather there are a lot of things I want to ask.”

“I don’t have time to talk nonsense like that right now…!!”

The assassin said that and was about to scold Lennok when he suddenly looked down and realized something was wrong.

If a human body had been swept across the floor for a dozen meters all kinds of miserable fragments including blood and flesh would have remained intact.

Nevertheless the communal floor leading down to Lennok’s feet was extremely clean without a speck of dust.

The moment the assassin realized that fact he jumped up from his seat.

“Well I guess I know roughly what they were aiming for.”

A calm voice was heard right next to the assassin.

Before he knew it Lennok who was standing next to him was taking out a pendant from his arms and looking at it closely.

“Was Narcissa waiting for the moment to bring this artifact outside?”

“…!!”

The crafting tool for the furnace Jindun that Narcissa presented to Rennok for testing purposes and Lennok repaired it on the spot.

I think I now understand why they did not kill Narcissa on the spot even after plotting the assassination.

For the assassin securing this pendant safely was as important as making sure Narcissa was suffocated.

“profit…!!”

The assassin looked very nervous and was looking for an opportunity to somehow steal the pendant from Lennok’s hand.

Without paying any attention to the assassin’s reaction Lennok was lost in thought as he adjusted the pendant he had repaired.

“Even the presence of a pendant and a statue of a god… I see.”

After saying that Lennok smiled and threw the pendant back to the assassin.

“Try it.”

“…what?”

“Try to activate your divine power. “You must have stolen the pendant for that?”

“….”

“If you look at the fact that they have set up a station like this near the lower-level workshop district they probably knew that Narcissa would be dispatched and made preparations.”

Lennok laughed as he looked at the silent assassin.

“You’ve been waiting for an opportunity like this. What are you doing?”

“Damn….”

The assassin gritted his teeth at the thought that his true intentions were revealed but he could no longer resist Lennok.

This was because I had just made two futile attempts in battle and realized that I could not gauge my opponent’s strength at all at this rate.

The man standing in front of him now is an overwhelmingly strange and mysterious monster compared to any strong men the assassin has ever faced.

“….”

The assassin tightly clutching the pendant stood in front of the statue of the God of the Two Arms with a nervous look.

The moment when Narcissa’s pendant was placed on the statue’s wide open hand.

Kugu Palace…!!

The statue’s hand slowly shrank grasping the pendant and clenching it into a fist.

At the same time the five eyes embedded in the left of the two faces of the statue slowly begin to open.

“Now it works…!!”

The assassin full of joy climbed onto the arm of the statue and immediately shouted urgently with his arms wide open.

“I want to know where the dragon’s heart is…! Or any information about him would be great!!!”

“Heart of the machine dragon…?”

The moment when the assassin looked urgently at the statue not paying attention to Lennok’s question.

As if responding to those words the statue’s eyes opened and looked down at the assassin.

The statue’s eyes which lifted their eyelids were scarily red and bloodshot unlike Lennok’s memories.

“hmm?”

At that moment Lennok frowned slightly at that sight.

The statue’s wide-open hand swung at the assassin as if rejecting it and threw it away.

Huh!!

The appearance of the assassin widening the distance and moving away from the statue with an agitated look as if he had not expected such a reaction from the statue.

“Tch…!!”

In the meantime he tried to run away from Lennok with the pendant he quickly recovered.

Taang!!

“omg!!”

As soon as I heard the gunshot the pain that shot up my side completely cut off the flow of magical power in my body.

As the fallen assassin bleeding from his side turned around with difficulty he saw the face of Lennok slowly walking towards him.

In his hand was a pure white revolver emitting faint smoke.

However what is different from before is that blue cracks are spreading across the surface of the white metal as if an electric current is flowing.

“no….”

Lennok ignored the assassin’s protests picked up the pendant from his hand and spoke.

“The pendant made by Hwa Deok Jin is not a relic from the old world. To be precise it is just a Noble Phantasm created by applying technology from the old world.”

“….”

“What the new statue collects and exchanges are not objects with ties to the old world but only memories directly intertwined with the forgotten world. “You don’t know that fact for sure.”

It was not for nothing that Lenno handed over the pendant to the assassin and encouraged him to use his divine powers.

This is because Lennok knew relatively accurately about both the pendant and the statue so he knew from the beginning that this transaction itself would not be concluded.

As a result should we be satisfied with having incited the assassin to some extent and discovered his desired goal?

“He is the one behind the scenes who is looking for the heart of the machine dragon but actually has vague knowledge of the statue’s abilities… or rather would it be correct to think that he was testing the standard?”

From the moment Lennok realized that he was projecting his abilities through a replica of a statue he had ruled out the possibility that the assassin had acted on his own.

The fact that the replica was brought here in advance means that someone is keeping a second new statue corresponding to the original.

“Side Squad. What does it have to do with Pandemonium? Are you receiving orders from the doctor?”

“…!!!”

Could it be that Lennok’s words were a trigger?

“Oh no… please!!!”

The moment he heard those words the assassin’s entire body began to tremble and twitch like crazy.

Crack cluck!!

A strange throbbing sensation as if a piece of flesh were swelling up. A noise that feels like gears turning from inside the body.

“Off… Ugh!!!”

Tdu-duk-duk!!

The steel frame protruding from the inside of the assassin’s face as he raised his head covered his entire body transforming into the shape of a strange monster.

[Haaaaa!!]

The monster jumped up let out a loud scream skidded across the floor and lunged at Lennok.

A brutal gesture to shatter the invisible shield and rip out Lennok’s heart without hesitation.

However almost at the same time the revolver bullets raised by Lennok deflected the shower of blades and caused an explosion.

Kwaaaa!!

[Keeeeeeek!!!]

As soon as I realized that it would be difficult to block Lennok’s magic bullets from the front I changed my tactics.

It moves quickly throughout the dark cavity distracting Lennok’s aim.

Pabababat!!

The moment the dull shine of metal flashed through the shadows the line of movement had already left the spot and was aiming for Lennok’s blind spot.

But as soon as Lennok saw that gesture he put away his revolver and took out another gun.

Slam!!

A thin elongated laser gun that shines with a cold indigo glow.

However what is unusual is that a finely carved crystal prism is floating in front of the elongated muzzle.

The shape of a prism that floats in a fixed position as if it were fixed in front of the gun barrel even if the gun barrel is moved around.

Without any time to be wary of its strange appearance Lennok immediately inserted the magazine and finished loading.

Bibibbibik!!!

A series of messages that appear quickly as the target is simultaneously captured in the laser gun’s scope.

[Prediction calculation complete.]

[Activate automatic interception.]

Immediately after the message appeared under the scope Lennok pulled the trigger and the laser gun’s muzzle began to glow brightly.

Paaaaa!!!

The laser light erupting from inside the muzzle passed through the crystal prism and split into dozens of beams in an instant brightening the cavity.

The appearance of a monster trying to escape the aim by turning slowing down and accelerating throughout the cavity.

But surprisingly the beam of light split into dozens of branches hit the rampaging monster’s entire body without a single error.

Doo doo doo doo!!!

[…!!!]

Almost simultaneously the fragmented laser catches up with and penetrates the monster’s desperately fleeing trajectory.

Only then did the monster realize that evasion was impossible within the scope Lennok was aiming at and it howled and ran in a straight line.

[Hehehe!!!]

Every time I indiscriminately allow the rays in from the front I stumble from the high heat that penetrates deep into my body and shatters the steel frame.

Nevertheless the monster gathered all its remaining strength and succeeded in grabbing the laser gun’s prism and breaking it.

[Aaaah!!!]

The assassin lets out a series of indescribable colorful screams and then appears to be about to explode himself as if inflating his entire body.

However Lennok stared at the monster blankly and took out another prism from his pocket.

“There is one more.”

[ah?]

The monster realizing that it was the same equipment as the prism it had just destroyed let out a death cry.

There was no need to pull the trigger any further.

Taang!!

One shot between the eyes of the assassin who was badly distorted inside the completely shattered steel frame.

Looking at the monster’s form collapsing and losing its strength on the spot Lennok cleaned up the remaining debris.

“Is it a self-destructive killing machine that degenerates into a specific word as a trigger? As befits a machine city they made something unique.”

A human weapon that indiscriminately destroys the surroundings and self-destructs by modifying the hormones that explode from the brain just before human death.

Isn’t this the best way to commit a specific incident and destroy witnesses and evidence?

If you think about it the shadow leader who infiltrated Lennok’s workshop also turned into a strange beast and struggled at the end.

“Pandemonium….”

Bokmajeon and Ph.D. It seems clear that they responded to this keyword but it is difficult to determine to what extent they are actually involved in this incident.

It wouldn’t be impossible if you were determined and used Lennok’s magic or Victor’s contact network.

If that were the case Lennok’s position as a craftsman would be in jeopardy.

‘Now that Narcissa is embroiled in an assassination attempt it is difficult to know whether the plan to relocate the Advanced Workshop District will proceed as promised. In the end is it best to wait and see what happens…’

Even though the assassin was killed the limit of operating a workshop in Lyman’s name was still not crossed.

Since I know that I can fool the Executor and the Ex-Machina it wouldn’t be a bad idea to maintain my status as a craftsman as long as I can.

Lennok muttered after checking the time and removing the assassin’s body to make it look like he had exploded himself.

“It took approximately 3 minutes for the investigative agency to find this place….”

If we leave right now we can avoid finding out any traces or circumstances that Lennok was here but…

While thinking this Lennog stared at the still intact replica of the statue.

“…good.”

In the interim settlement he was only able to use his new abilities once due to the doctor’s intervention but since the opportunity was given there was no reason to pass it by.

Lennok immediately climbed onto the statue’s palm and took out an object from its arms.
