    The Genius Wizard Who Takes Medicine Episode 643

    Machina Martial Law (3)

    Slurp slosh…!!

    A stormy beach. A secluded coast with dingy rain pouring down.

    A sandy beach where waves come up several meters close pounding the rock in all directions without stopping.

    A half-broken metal body lay half buried in the sand.

    The metal body covered in rain and sand moved slightly and slowly began to open on one side.

    Click!

    “Cough!!”

    Someone opened the door of the probe and walked out spewing out water and collapsing on the sand.

    With a hand that I could barely feel I pressed the button on the helmet I was putting on.

    [Reduced pressure treatment 86%]

    [Lack of remaining power. 5 seconds until function stops]

    Chiik…!!

    The helmet disintegrated from the back of his neck splitting on both sides and Lennok’s head fell to the ground.

    A complexion that is not only pale but dark and sunken. I just took a quick breath without even thinking about spitting out the sea water that was moistening my mouth.

    “Whoa…!!”

    Barely lifting his fingers he connects the magician to the bedrock and slowly pulls his body up.

    Lennok who had been dragged out of the waves as if slipping lay down on his back in the sand dazed.

    I breathe in the rain pouring down through the cloudy cloudy sky.

    [Now Master.]

    Dabi crawled out of Lennok’s arms picked up the potion with his front paws and eagerly poured it into his mouth.

    Lennok who was swallowing a potion mixed with rainwater snapped his fingers again and the suit he was wearing split open revealing his work clothes.

    Lennok wearing soaked work clothes and leaning between the rocks muttered.

    “I didn’t think it would be easy but…”

    In the process of escaping from being surrounded by the navy if he made a mistake while climbing too hard his entire body would burst and he would almost die.

    Even with the anti-pressure suit prepared in advance for the probe made of Arma Delta alloy and the presence of dozens of layers of protection magic it was difficult to withstand the recoil.

    Nevertheless the reason why Lennok was able to shake off the 12th Fleet and Triton that were pursuing him and escape to an unnamed sea area.

    ‘It might have been really dangerous if I didn’t have the ring.’

    Thinking so Lennog stared at the ring on his left index finger.

    Hanghasa Labyrinth. Feigenbaum’s Eye one of two artifacts taken from Jindun’s Cradle.

    The ability is essentially to give the user the power to observe the imaginary dimension with the naked eye but there is one more hidden ability.

    By overloading the ring’s power the wearer is temporarily forcibly transported to an imaginary dimension for 0.75 seconds.

    It is not the original intended function but is more of a side effect of looking deeply into the imaginary dimension and allowing the user to enter it.

    Lennok knew that if this ability was used well it would be able to temporarily evade any attack.

    The water pressure inside the probe fluctuated like crazy and right before it was destroyed Lennok overloaded the ring and temporarily entered the imaginary dimension.

    Immediately after he threw away all the burden and reaction that had been caught by the probe and returned to reality.

    In terms of time it is an almost instantaneous gap of only 0.75 seconds.

    It is extremely difficult to get the timing right especially considering that the ring’s abilities must be overloaded in advance.

    However even as Lennok was running away from the Navy’s pursuit and torpedoes he quickly analyzed the route set by Dabi.

    He evacuated his body to the imaginary dimension precisely aiming for the moment when the water pressure passed the inflection point where the water pressure changed most dramatically.

    I was confident that I would succeed but if I had failed not only the probe but also Lennok would have been in vain.

    Several lifelines were made to prepare for the worst-case scenario but Feigenbaum’s eye was a very low priority among them.

    ‘It will be difficult to use the ring’s power for a while. It becomes difficult to charge the blinker…’

    After using its ability to temporarily evacuate the user to an imaginary dimension the ring cannot be used for about a month.

    A side effect of overloading the function itself by forcibly increasing it.

    The problem was that Lennok was using the power of the ring to store his blinking technique in Papyrus Argenteus.

    Although the blinking technique itself was chanted and used by Lennok its magical power consumption was so great that he had to memorize it in the artifact in advance whenever he had time.

    Although there are blinking techniques remaining it is also a risk factor that blinking can no longer be charged for the time being.

    Lennok who was thinking back to the last time he used the ring’s power remembered the 10 apostles Amrita and laughed.

    “…Even back then we fought by blinking and counting half the time.”

    The Ten Apostles who possessed the bodies of apostles and the precognitive abilities of priestesses and used ultra-fast space combat were one of the most difficult opponents in terms of combat skills.

    Lennok learned something from her space combat techniques and tricks while being beaten with her bare body.

    After that Lennok sat quietly in the wind and rain until the medicine took effect then slowly stood up.

    With trembling legs he cleared away traces including the suit and probe and completely erased any remaining magical power and presence.

    There was no incident until we checked his condition so it seemed like he wasn’t being tracked but any traces should be erased.

    After rubbing painkillers on various parts of his still numb body Lennok stood up and walked out to the shore.

    Lennok stood on the rain-stormy asphalt and raised his gaze to the empty car.

    “Dabi do you know where this is?”

    [Well… the location coordinates are not captured properly.]

    Dabi answered with an embarrassed expression.

    [There are four reference points used as a standard for calculating relative coordinates within the machine city and the data calculated there is completely distorted.]

    “….”

    [Maybe there was a temporary error in the coordinate calculation system or city network…]

    Lennok quietly listened to Dabi’s words and then walked quietly.

    There are many shops and lodging establishments lined up along the coast and in the commercial district and downtown there is no one and only cold rain and wind blows.

    A chilly silence and an eerie silence as if Lennok was alone in the middle of this city.

    Even Dabi held his breath in that unusual atmosphere.

    [Is this a trap?]

    If the reason the Navy’s pursuit did not continue was not because they missed Lennok but because they wanted to drive him into this area.

    And if a plan had been made in advance to surround Lennok here and completely subdue him.

    At any moment countless missile bombardments may pour down beyond the wall turning this city into a sea of ​​fire.

    But Lennok faintly shook his head at Dabi’s words.

    “At first that possibility was the first thing I thought about… but probably not.”

    Lennok who immediately entered a nearby store looked into the small room inside and said.

    “There are traces of someone living there. There’s even some heat left in the bowl. “There were people there not too long ago.”

    Clothes hastily scattered here and there and traces of uneaten food left on the table.

    Lennok’s eyes calmly scanned the surroundings as he ran his fingers across the bowl.

    “Compared to the hastily disorganized clothes there are no traces of valuables in the room. Even the cash register that should contain cash is empty. “It is highly likely that he left here immediately taking only important items with him.”

    [This means that the people on this street heard the news in advance and evacuated.]

    It had been less than 20 minutes since Lennok decided to take an escape route to this area and escape.

    Judging by various circumstances the evacuation order for this street was issued at least 45 minutes ago.

    If so the possibility that it was a trap that lured Lennok here is greatly reduced.

    “The evacuation order was issued 45 minutes ago. “It was such a serious matter that everyone in the area had to evacuate immediately as soon as the order was given… Considering the time at that time…”

    Lennok’s eyes shined sharply as he reflected on the time he felt.

    “Right after I escaped the undersea wall.”

    [If the Master had noticed the abnormality and sent a signal as soon as he escaped the barrier the timing would have been correct.]

    Dabi said in a slightly urgent tone.

    [But then wouldn’t the evacuation order itself have been issued in response to the Master’s presence?…]

    “No that’s not it….”

    As Lennok said that he slowly closed his eyes and began to raise his magic power.

    Wooooow…!!

    By forcibly stabilizing the condition with the help of medicine the mana that is still rampaging is forcibly suppressed.

    Cognitive abilities amplified through magic surpass the limits of the five senses and spread out in all directions.

    It swept across the space as if it was trembling and in an instant I could see the whole scene of thousands of meters as if it were my own.

    “When escaping the undersea barrier opened. “I thought the commander of the mechanized corps had opened the barrier himself to track me but that wasn’t true.”

    Lennok muttered.

    “The conditions necessary for the undersea wall to open were already being met above this city.”

    [Master…?]

    It was only then that Dabi realized the meaning of what Lennok said and popped his head out of his embrace.

    A faint vibration felt from the toes quickly grows in size and turns into a huge earthquake.

    Dedeudeudeudeuk…!!!

    The ground thousands of meters away rises vertically and at the same time a huge wave approaches as if it will hit Lennok.

    A change so strange that you can’t believe it even with your own eyes as if the earth itself is bending and rotating at a right angle.

    Gurgling!!

    The asphalt split under my feet and a huge crack appeared between them and began to swallow everything in all directions.

    In the distance a huge undulating mechanical barrier stood up vertically and ran across the ground.

    Kugwagwagwagwa!!!

    The sight of all the surrounding scenery not being still for a moment but turbulent moving and changing positions.

    This doesn’t just happen on this street.

    The entire city within a radius of several thousand meters that Lenno could sense was turning upside down left right and upside down regardless of direction and location.

    “I think I know what Hermes did as soon as he woke up in his new body…”

    Kwaaaang!!

    Lennok muttered as he looked at the huge waves of mechanical barriers approaching like a tidal wave collapsing in the distance.

    “The machine city’s division relocation schedule which was supposed to take place every quarter was completely distorted. “The whole city will fall into chaos.”

    * * *

    Crash!!

    It rises to a height of more than tens of meters and the mechanical barrier blocking each section rotates violently.

    The heavens and earth trembled unable to withstand the weight of the huge metal mass rotating and moving.

    An overwhelming yet heterogeneous landscape that seems to have steel mountain ranges running unstoppably across the ground.

    There is not just one barrier that moves and rotates in all directions but there are dozens that are visible to the eye.

    All of the areas assigned to each location in the city are moving at the same time and switching places in perfect order.

    Kugwagwagwa!!!

    Lennok who avoided the mechanical barrier coming in front of him immediately got on the bike.

    Buah!!

    It runs straight across the diagonally tilted and sliding wall and quickly leaves the area where the coast was located.

    As soon as you cross the barrier what you see is a garden of countless parts shaking with giant gears exposed.

    All kinds of buildings and public facilities moved up down left and right reversing their positions and directions.

    Drurrrrr!!

    The ground tilts vertically and the building turns upside down as if an invisible hand is moving a huge block arbitrarily.

    It was difficult to maintain balance and balance among the mechanical barriers and partition blocks coming and going at high speed from all directions.

    However Lennok rode his bike and quickly skipped between buildings and parts floating in the air.

    “In terms of time Mouser would have already returned to the Advanced Workshop District.”

    Lennok said increasing his horsepower detection further while leaving the operation to Dabi’s automatic driving algorithm.

    “Now that the coordinates inside the city have been completely distorted we will have to move until we detect Mouser’s presence using magical energy detection.”

    If Mouser had returned to the workshop tracking his vital reactions would be the quickest way to return to the workshop.

    Dabi who was operating the bike on behalf of Lennok asked.

    [Is it okay if I don’t pursue Hermes right away?]

    “The fact that they forcibly moved ahead of the schedule and turned the entire city upside down is proof that Hermes wants to hide his location.”

    Lennok answered immediately.

    “Mouser is one of the very few officials who has lived in this city for a long time and has worked in everything from exclusive workshops to low-level workshops. “If you want to find the way the fastest way would be to ask him.”

    In addition there is still unfinished work left in the workshop.

    All remaining preparations must be completed before Hermes can complete his plan and manifest the Ascendant himself.

    “…I found it.”

    As I spread my magic perception to its limit and quickly skipped over the undulating barriers I recognized a familiar life reaction.

    The upper-class workshop district where Lennok’s workshop is located.

    This side is also a mess due to the movement of divisions between cities but its original form is still preserved.

    What is unusual is that the workshop building is neatly divided into blocks and moves without collapsing.

    You must quickly catch up with the speed at which the workshop district moves before it goes any further.

    The moment Lennok was thinking like that and trying to increase the speed of his bike.

    Wedge!!

    A faint flash of light flashed in the distance and it sped off at incredible speed and crashed right into the spot where the bike was.

    Kwaang!!

    A view of the vast dormitory complex passing by quickly upside down overhead.

    [Infiltration of Shim Seong-gwan under the submarine barrier and identification of suspects in Meister assassination.]

    On top of the building dozens of Side Squad agents who seemed to be covered in shadows were hanging upside down their eyes flashing at Lennok.

    [I will start tracking from now on…]

    “no.”

    Lennok raised his hand immediately cutting off the conversation between the Side Squad agents’ communication network.

    “From now on there will be no reason to take matters into your own hands.”

    If Hermes was involved in the assassination of Narcissa Solmer the side squad that helped him will also be fooling him.

    At the same time as connecting hundreds of strands of magic thread onto the earth block Dabi connects the thoughts.

    The moment the raised hand was turned half a turn the block of the residential area the agents were riding in rotated half a turn and changed direction.

    Crumbling!!

    […!!!]

    A sudden change occurred among dozens of earth blocks moving in perfect order.

    Deviations occur between blocks that should have been thoroughly planned and moved and the movement lines begin to misalign and overlap.

    Before the Side Squad agents could be swayed by the suddenly changed direction of the residential block another block emerged from below at high speed.

    Blocks in the park district with dense forests and public facilities are rising at an incredible speed with no time to escape.

    A collision between medium-sized Earths surrounded by mechanical barriers.

    Before the Side Squad agents who belatedly realized the extent of the impact could struggle to escape the residential area.

    “bang.”

    As Lennok clapped his hands both Earth blocks collided head-on.

    A huge shock wave exploded in the middle of the rapidly changing machine city.

    Kwaaaaaaaaaa!!!

    [Quaaaaa!!]

    The Side Squad agents who were running away are swept away by the shock wave that erupts in the aftermath of the collision between the two areas of the Machine City itself.

    Agents crushed between trees and building debris let out desperate screams and sticky blood flowed from their crushed suits.

    The shock was such that the communication network itself was paralyzed and submerged in screams and groans.

    One of the agents stuttered and muttered in disbelief.

    [It doesn’t make sense… If you’re not Ex Machina how can you have the authority to manipulate the mobile planet…!!]

    “It is not difficult to briefly manipulate management authority while the entire city is in upheaval.”

    Lennok answered as he looked at the two areas colliding and being crushed.

    Through zone movement authority within the city is distributed and the authority to control movement in the district is instantly seized through gaps in the security barrier.

    All of the earth blocks moving at high speeds in this area are already uninhabited areas where residents have already prepared.

    That’s why the moment Lennok identified the Side Squad agents he used the city’s landmarks moving in all directions as weapons to crush the agents.

    “It is enough to cause errors in the angle and direction values ​​entered in advance. All you have to do is figure out the overlapping movement lines in advance and set the impact amount.”

    [Ah ah…!!]

    The agents let out groans of despair as they saw another No Man’s Land block falling from overhead.

    “If you want to catch me you’re going to have to deal with this whole district yourself.”
