Drug-Eating Genius Mage - Chapter 15
After bending over and entering the pharmaceutical company, the work proceeded swiftly.
Instead of doubling the advance payment of 10 million cells originally due to Lennok, the success fee of 10 million cells is retained.
Lennok, who had signed a temporary employment contract with a deposit of 30 million cells in case of success, immediately climbed into the car driven by Sage and headed toward the warehouse.
There was no big problem because I had brought my belongings in advance.
“It’s a bit late. Perhaps others have arrived first.”
“Other people?”
“These are the people we hired to guard the warehouse. It’s absolutely not enough compared to the number of gangs, but it will help nonetheless.”
…….
No matter how much it was, it didn’t seem like he had the intention of making the wizard deal alone with the gang.
Lennok turned his head out the window instead of responding.
The number of gangs Jenny said was at least 100.
How many people can Lennok deal with if he doesn’t expect much help from others?
To be honest, as long as the opponent wasn’t a magic user, Lennok could easily handle more people than that.
If you spread the shield in five overlapping layers, most bullets and blades won’t go into it, and if you bombard all directions with magic while sitting, a one-sided attack will be possible as long as your magic power allows.
However, if there is someone in the gang who handles magical powers or abilities, it becomes a little difficult.
Of course, I wouldn’t die, but I couldn’t guarantee that I could properly protect the new drug sample.
Additional information was needed.
‘Let’s shake it a little.’
“According to Jenny, you guys said that you hit my ransom even though you knew.”
“Yes…yes?”
Seeing Sage’s visibly flustered face, Lennok smiled faintly.
“They doubled the pay at once, and completely ignored the general market price.”
“Oh, you misunderstood.”
Seiji answered while sweating profusely.
His hands on the steering wheel began to tremble.
It’s fair to say that it wasn’t really because he was pricked by Lennok’s words, but rather out of fear of offending the wizard sitting in the passenger seat.
It is difficult to experience the fear of being turned into an electric grill in one sitting.
Lennok stared at Sage in silence for a while before continuing.
“Are there any other samples in the warehouse?”
Seiji, who was very nervous, snapped at Lennok when he subtly changed the topic.
“That is not so. It was originally used by the president for personal use, so there are samples of other drugs on the market.”
“I wonder what samples are there. Are there any ordinary medicines like sleeping pills?”
“We don’t deal with it ourselves… but maybe there is.”
“It’s okay.”
“yes?”
“Nothing.”
Even so, the sleeping pills sold at the shabby drugstore in District 49 are not being listened to, but it’s not a bad thing if you can secure another sample.
I always think about it when I fall asleep, so I’ve been putting off buying other sleeping pills, but I thought it would be nice to take one at this time.
In the meantime, the car Seiji was driving came to a halt.
“Im here. It seems that other people have gathered to some extent.”
There were about 10 people gathered in front of the warehouse that I had already confirmed in the photo.
There are few people to attract the attention of the surroundings, but a large number of people gathered to protect a warehouse.
There were clear signs that the pharmaceutical company, which could not make a clear decision to openly pretend to be with the district councilor, was concerned about the number of heads.
“People… seem to have a lot of complaints.”
Lennok murmured as he looked out of the car window at the people with bloodstains on their heads.
It was bloody to see them approaching this way, dressed in sloppy clothes and each holding a gun or knife.
Among them, a muscular man with a stern expression, approaching at the forefront, hit the car body roughly.
“hey!! Open the door right now! Come out!”
“What is going on?”
“This is different from the promise! What the hell can you do with this number of people!!”
It seems like a lot to protect one warehouse, but when you think about preparing for a gang attack, the number is absurdly small.
As Lennok looked around, the level and appearance of each individual could not be said to be very neat.
It wasn’t difficult to figure out the situation.
“The rest of them, except for me, were blown away.”
“That… ah no.”
“I don’t care, but don’t they know that?”
Sage’s complexion turned blue again at Lennok’s plaintive words.
To put it bluntly, the current situation cannot be wholly his fault.
The president and very few executives know that samples made by pharmaceutical companies are hidden here.
Their decision to watch samples from the gang with just this amount is probably the biggest culprit.
It’s annoying, but you can’t always work with smart customers.
“Whoa… let’s go out.”
“yes? But if I leave now…”
“I’ll do as much as I received.”
Lennok opened the door without waiting for an answer.
When he appeared in the
front passenger seat, people immediately turned on their twin wicks and rushed towards him.
“What are you doing, are you coming out with this guy?”
“If you’re late, get out of the way! We have something to talk about with this kid.”
“These bastards didn’t even talk about the gang when hiring us!”
My head starts to ring as I hear a shout in my ear.
“Can you be quiet?”
“You bastard, you’re fucked too! What are you arrogant about!!”
“If you get caught by the gang, you can’t escape!”
The voices of the men who said that sounded like faint cries mixed in.
Lennok understood their position.
Pretending to look at them, they seem to have flown here because they were lured in by the expensive pay, but if they said that they might have to deal with a gang out of the blue, their eyes would go dark.
However, I had no intention of appeasing them with words.
“Can’t you hear me now? Get out of the car…!!”
Lennok pushed him hard and grabbed the man by the shoulder as he opened the car door.
As it is, it raises mana at once.
[Volt]
Jikji Jik!!
“Oops!”
Looking at the man who collapsed with his eyes closed and foaming, he took out a cigarette from his chest and put it in his mouth.
No one could speak to him as he ignited the flames between his fingers and let out smoke.
Although it was a short moment, there was no one who did not see the blue current he raised.
“It must have been a magician…”
“Did the pharmaceutical companies hire the magician?”
“I understand that, but…”
“Be quiet.”
This time everyone kept their mouths shut.
Lennok looked around slowly and opened his mouth.
“Looking at what you’re talking about gangs, you seem to have a rough idea of what’s going on.”
People silently nodded.
“good. It’s the company’s fault for not giving you detailed explanations.”
The car shuddered slightly as Lennok hit the tire with his heel. I didn’t even have to think about who was trembling inside.
“But now this person is just an employee following the company’s orders. Is it just a waste of time if I smash and beat the car here and now?”
It’s not that I’m talking like this because I have a special crush on Seiji.
However, nothing can be solved by taking out your anger on him, who is only a messenger.
What he was doing now was a waste of time to Lennok. It is better to send him away quickly and get ready for work.
But not many people came this far to hear what they were saying.
no, i don’t want to hear it
“Get out of the way when you say nice things. Is it okay if it’s a wizard?”
Roaring!!
Red flames rise from the arms of a man who appears after pushing people away.
People hurriedly stepped aside from the scorching heat that burned themselves like living flames.
He smirked as he glared at Lennok with burning eyes.
“The people gathered here don’t seem to know much, but not all wizards are proud. Rather, if it’s enough to roll in here, they’re the ones who were kicked out of the Mage Tower with only a small amount of mana.”
“……”
Lennok breathed smoke and looked the man up and down in silence.
Eyes bloodshot with tension and anger. A rough impression with a sharp beard and a leather jacket.
In a way, the atmosphere was close to that of the supervisors at the factory where he worked, but the flames burning around his arms were not a lie.
Lennok nodded inwardly at the sight of the flames rising in the air without any magic power.
‘You see a psychic twice a day.’
Chlorination ability. Pyrokinesis. Its names and forms vary, but it is well known for its intuitive and powerful abilities.
However, he is not a very powerful psychic as he is a man who has been called to this place without hearing anything about it.
Lennok replied with a laugh.
“So what? Push me out and burn this car to ashes?”
“…..no. In the first place, low-level wizards are just burdens. I won’t burn you too!!”
The man growled and stretched out a flaming hand toward Lennok.
Lennok stared at it, biting on the tobacco.
After all, on this floor, nothing can be solved with words in a good way.
One’s opinion is power, and power is the means of communication.
Recalling that simple yet brutal logic, Lennok reached out as well.
Tuuk!
Just before reaching the flames, I covered my skin with a shield and held the man’s hand as it was.
“…!!!!”
At Lennok’s unexpected action, not only the flame-powered person, but also those watching behind him opened their mouths.
“What!! What are you doing bastard!!”
Lennok didn’t answer. Even if you don’t speak, you’ll soon understand.
He conjured up images of strong flames as he silently raised his mana.
With just that alone, the mana fluctuates, and a new magic that blends with the man’s flames is turbulent.
Red heat burst out from Lennok’s clasped hands, turning the man upside down and swallowing him.
Hwareuk!!
“Hey!!”
“I’m crazy… Nonsense!!”
Leaving the voices of astonished people behind, the two flames entwined each other and spread out in all directions.
The two flames, wriggling as if violently colliding, soon merged into one and spread out in one direction in an instant.
There was no need to question whose spark was defeated.
Roaring!!
“Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!”
Not all flamers are immune to flames.
Of course, as much as they burn themselves and make flames, they will of course have some flame resistance, but low-level psychics cannot be free from the pain of high-temperature flames.
If you didn’t know if you were not proud of your own talents and polished your abilities, you would be helpless like other people in front of the fire that goes beyond your limits.
‘In a way, it’s like the limit of a psychic.’
As it only relies on innate talent, the manifestation is intuitive and requires no extra effort, but on the contrary, it takes more than ordinary effort to handle abilities beyond one’s own capabilities.
Because of this, powerful psychic people received the same treatment as high-level magic users, but the number was relatively small.
The man screamed in pain and twisted around, but Lennok wouldn’t let go.
In fact, I don’t know what his true intentions were, but he was the one who threatened to burn him first.
Even if they were not killed on the spot, it was necessary to thoroughly trample them without leaving any aftereffects.
“Okay, I was wrong!! Please please save me!!”
The man shed tears at the pain of being burned by the fire, which he had never experienced in his entire life, but even those tears evaporated in an instant from the flames that wrapped around his body.
An ordinary person would have fallen off right away, but ironically, the innate fire resistance of a person with the power of pyrolysis had been holding him back intact.
Lennox clicked his tongue briefly and slowly released his hand.
It wasn’t because the man was pitiful, but because the grip in his hands was so weak that he couldn’t stand his struggles.
There was no such thing as a really weak body.
As soon as Lennok let go, the man took off his leather jacket and started rolling frantically on the floor.
“Turn off the lights!!”
“If it moves to the warehouse, it will be the end!!”
The others, startled, came to their senses and began pouring water on him from the water tap inside the warehouse.
Chii profit!!
“it hurts! it hurts!!”
“Calm down you bastard!!”
While people were gathering and making a fuss, Lennok opened the driver’s door and spoke to Seiji.
“It wouldn’t be possible for you to be here. Just go.”
“I see…”
Lennok checked the time as he quickly got behind the wheel and watched Seiji’s car disappear.
7:00 pm.
A day and a half from now. The time to hold on is roughly until dawn the day after tomorrow.
Assuming that the patent office opens at 8:00 in the morning, the samples should be protected from gang attacks at least until then.
Considering the vast warehouse space, it seemed very difficult, but Lennok calmly organized his thoughts without wavering.
‘All I have to do is keep the samples of the new drug and take them to the Korean Intellectual Property Office.’
Lennok’s position is completely different from the other people who were hired to guard the warehouse.
There is only one condition that the pharmaceutical company put on him. Until the Patent Office opens, there is only one thing to do is to collect and submit samples.
Although colliding with a gang in the process is now unavoidable, it is true that it can be relatively unconstrained.
The warehouse where the samples are stored is not known. In the worst case, even if the entire warehouse was given out, it was enough to keep only the samples.
Having said that, Lennok immediately headed inside the warehouse to confirm the existence of the sample.
People around him flinched and backed away as he passed, but he didn’t care.
They are people who can’t even become a proper power anyway. It was better to just treat him like nobody and do what Lennok had to do.
When I opened the dusty door and went inside the warehouse, I found a white box full of medicine samples.
Covered in clear vinyl, the sample doesn’t seem to be damaged, but it’s not a good-looking environment to store and manage something.
Amnak Pharmaceutical Company was also under pressure from the district councilor, so they must have had no choice but to hide samples in this warehouse that was not even managed properly.
As Seiji told him the name in advance, Lennok found the sample of the new drug they said without difficulty.
A blue liquid contained in a small test tube-like bottle. Three vials of liquid-type samples.
It seems that only a minimum reserve was left in consideration of the fact that it would have to be hidden in the warehouse.
Lennok held it for a while, then finally picked up all three test tubes and shoved them into his bosom.
Rather than trusting the others out there who were still making a fuss about watering it, it was better to just keep it.
I can roughly guess who these people are.
People who don’t want to belong to an organization and do risky things, but can’t give up on the temptation of money coming and going on this floor.
Pharmaceutical companies seem to have hired them to squeeze out the scarce money and even increase their headcount, but they are completely wrong.
It was obvious that no one would be of much help except for the flamethrower he dealt with just now.
“I don’t have a knack for directing people…”
What kind of speech skills and leadership does Lennok, who has lived as a gamer, have?
The magician’s talent allowed him to make rational decisions much more rationally than before, but leading people he had never seen before and dealing with an organization was a completely different story.
‘I’d rather run away with the sample, but…’
If you hide like this and wait until the door of the Patent Office opens, no one will be able to find Lennok, but it’s not the end Amnac Pharmaceuticals wants.
Besides, Lennok decided to condone the conflict with the gang and didn’t bring more money in advance.
Even if the place and time were not fixed, in the end it was necessary to break the power of the gang by bumping into it at least once.
Lennok, who was agonizing as he opened and closed the sample of the new drug, finally made up his mind.
“You can just wipe everything out here.”
After all, what the gang is aiming for is the possibility of a sample of the new drug, and as long as the sample is here, they will come to this warehouse instead of going back a long way.
If you can handle them, it’s much easier to call them here instead of running away.
The battle with the bounty hunter Croken and the subsequent fight with the scavenger branch leader, Lennok was able to have confidence in his own fighting ability.
Despite being weak, his mobility is absurdly lacking due to his lack of stamina, but he is not pushed anywhere in terms of firepower.
Mentally, it felt much more comfortable to take the sample to the Patent Office after completely pushing away the gangsters who came from this spot and leaving no room for pursuit.
“I have to move right away.”
I had an idea that came to my mind when I heard about the warehouse from Seiji.
If done well, it might be quite an interesting sight to see. The people who saw Lennok walking outside in a slightly excited state
of the night
came toward him suddenly hesitantly.
No one is ignoring Lennok anymore. It was full of only those who forcibly moved their steps while hiding the faint fear in the corners of their mouths.
“What is going on?”
“Um… what can I do?”
Of course, they have no plans or plans.
I was hired by Amnak for a lucrative pay, and I ran without knowing anything, holding a weapon that could save me.
And it was only natural that such people cling to Lennok, who seemed to be the strongest here.
‘I can see why Jenny said that.’
Did he make me protect an important item called a sample of a new drug, but didn’t explain the circumstances?
Unlike the urgency of the internal affairs, the carelessness of the work. Jenny only noticed it with the stakes she had presented to Lennok.
Working with such a client more than once is rather a loss.
Lennok responded while holding back a sigh.
“How many people are there?”
“If you add that guy who is now conscious, there are about 15 of them.”
“The entrance to the warehouse is blocked and patrolled. You’ll have to hold out longer than you think. Divide the number of people into three shifts, check the trends outside the warehouse, and notify me immediately if there is anything wrong.”
“All right. Then the wizard is…?”
“I have other work to do.”
When Lennok made that assertion, the people meekly agreed and backed off.
As they watched from the back, they divided themselves into groups and started dividing roles into groups guarding the entrance, patrolling, and resting.
Still, he didn’t seem to care as much as he was working on this floor.
Lennok passed them and headed for the lot outside the warehouse.
A desolate industrial district. A secluded site that is not easily seen because it is hidden by the traces of an old construction site with dirt.
The walls around the warehouse are full of all sorts of low-level graffiti, including spray paint, and sometimes you can see places with dirt on them.
The sample was hidden in a place like this, so it must have gone unnoticed until now.
Walk all the way around the warehouse and check if there are any unusual spots.
The wall itself was quite high, so it didn’t look easy to jump over, but it was a fairly old facility, so there were several cracks or holes in it.
Lennok sat down in front of the poorly fortified wall and raised his mana by placing his hand on the floor.
Whoo!
‘The principle itself is the same.’
The ignition magic used to explode the factory.
At that time, the magic chant was reversed and the know-how I realized while installing the magic circle was drawn here.
[Claymore]. As the name suggests, it is a mine magic designed to explode on the spot when certain conditions are met.
In general, it is a trap-type common magic used by hunters such as hunters, and its range power is weak, but its firepower based on human beings is considerable.
This is the only trap-type magic that Lennok remembers, so it can’t be helped, but it’s not a very good magic in the current situation when dealing with an organization called a gang.
But there was no problem.
If there was only one magic he knew, he would just have to remodel that magic in its entirety.
‘Change the conditions.’
While projecting mana onto the floor, he erases the previously known [Claymore] will and rewrites it anew.
Change the approach condition to pressure applied, and instead of reducing the single firepower, expand the range so that you can damage as many places as possible.
I put theory and knowledge experience far away and proceed with my work relying only on my intuition and talent.
Lennok toured the warehouse site several times, focusing on installing and remodeling Claymore magic in each area that seemed relatively poorly defended.
It is the same as the act of ‘imposing’ magic on a place such as the ground or a wall.
How effective and powerful it would be if these enchantments could be used not only on places, but also on objects carried.
If you can mass-produce magic tools beyond simply granting magic for a while, sitting on a cushion of money in the blink of an eye wouldn’t be a dream.
Lennok knew this very well, so he was constantly trying to give magic to things while he was researching, but the problem was that the difficulty was transcendentally difficult.
It was ridiculously difficult to enchant an object whose location information changes every time it moves beyond the level of simply changing the area to be enchanted every time, even for a very short time.
To solve this problem, there seemed to be no answer until now, other than having a strong will close to madness and precise design ability in particle units, or calculating the location information that changes in real time every moment and giving it a new magic.
“Em wizard…”
“…..What is it?”
By the time the work was finished, the sun was setting.
I straightened my back, put another cigarette in my mouth, and turned around. A person was waiting for him, trembling.
It was a person with the ability to ignite, who, after arguing with Lennok earlier, was engulfed in flames and rolled on the floor.
Because of being engulfed in flames and rolling on the floor, almost no clothing remains and it is a mess of ash and dust, but surprisingly the body is fine.
The fire resistance he was born with didn’t block all the pain, but it seemed to have strong resistance to the harm.
He slowly lowered his head while breaking out in a cold sweat, as if just looking at Lennok brought back memories.
“I am really sorry about that. Stop because I went crazy for a second…”
“You don’t need to apologize.”
“Then how are you going to forgive me?”
“Forgive me?”
Where would Lennok need to forgive him?
It was annoying that he didn’t understand what he was saying and used his hand first, but Lennok knew very well that it wouldn’t be the case once he had tasted it.
I didn’t have high expectations, so I just hoped that I would take enough time against the gang.
But he must have completely misunderstood Lennok’s words, and he fell to his knees and began to pray.
“sorry. I will never speak ill of wizards again. Please help me…”
“…….”
Only then did Lennok realize what the man was worried about and why he had been looking for him.
He feared that Lennok would kill him after this was over.
In fact, in light of the physiology of this side, the conclusion is not so wrong.
A society that goes back to a very strict logic of power. It is fatal to be looked down on in this place where misjudging an opponent’s capabilities is directly linked to a life-and-death crisis.
Since the man openly insulted Lennok and other wizards among people, he must have thought it natural that he would pay the price.
But Lennok wasn’t interested in any of that.
There is nothing to be gained by stepping on the man’s head and beating him until he dies.
All he can do for Lennok is to ignite the flames he prides himself on against the coming gang.
But you don’t have to tell the man straight away.
And there was no reason to say anything nice.
Lennok said as he knelt down and approached him with his head bowed.
“You came very quickly. yes?”
“…….”
“Still, it seems that the pride was still there. Did you not want to show this side of yourself in front of people? It’s ugly.”
“sorry…!! sorry!!”
When I gently pressed the man’s shoulder, I could clearly feel him trembling.
You must be recalling the same memories as before.
Lean down and whisper in his ear.
“Give me a chance.”
“If there is a chance…”
“Maybe tonight. Guests will come here.”
According to Lennok, it’s probably as early as today. At the latest, by tomorrow morning, the gang will definitely show movement.
Considering the pharmaceutical company’s explanation that information leaks out, the information that the application was submitted to the Korean Intellectual Property Office must have entered the ears of the district councilor as well.
You probably want to avoid having a patent that could be worth a lot of money be in the name of a pharmaceutical company.
“Your job is simple. You just need to light a fire on their shoulders.”
Lennog grinned as he bit off the tobacco.
“Like you tried to do with me earlier. Did you understand?”
“All right!!”
After sending the man back with a blue complexion back, Lennok leaned against the wall and smoked all his cigarettes.
“I’m going to have to stop by the orchard one more time…”
Thirty bundles of cash buns I bought at Plumber’s orchard at the beginning of the year.
I tried my best to avoid it sparingly, but when there was such a large request, it was inevitably consumed quickly.
I rummaged in my arms, and there were only four left.
I should have bought it in advance, but the price was too expensive, so I kept putting it off.
Will it interfere with combat?
Lennok thought about it for a while, but it was also true that he couldn’t guess unless he directly confronted him and judged the opponent’s level.
‘Based on the duration of the medicinal effect, it could last for about a day, but…’
If the gangs split their forces and rushed in with time differences, then Lennok would be in a bit of trouble.
It was likely to be an unnecessary concern, but Lennok didn’t stop thinking about it.
Even if you assume all situations and start an operation, there can be any number of variables.
Lennok learned that through his encounter with the Croken Asilus.
‘My magic power and bullets are in sufficient condition. I have to think about the possibility that I will have to buy time by shooting it with a gun.’
Of course, he had already figured out the escape route in case something happened.
I remembered the underground passage inside the warehouse building as well, so there shouldn’t be any problems there.
I stopped thinking moderately and stood up.
I’ve been away for too long, so it’s time to slowly show myself to people.
He must have felt uneasy about dealing with the gang, but if Lennok was away for a long time, he might sneak away in the meantime.
Lennok thought he had no leadership or commanding abilities, but at least he could guess what people would think.
As you might have guessed, when Lennok returned to the warehouse, several people flinched and turned their heads.
“……..”
I don’t think they’re wrong. Because life is precious to everyone.
But the choice is also theirs. Lennok had no intention of helping with that choice.
Lennok said nothing and went inside the warehouse and sat down on a random box.
There is still plenty of time before the Patent Office opens.
If the gang didn’t move, maybe we’d have to wait for quite some time.
‘…..It reminds me of the army.’
It’s not difficult compared to the time when I spent two years just passing time.
Fortunately, the strong mental power of the wizard was able to make it so that his thinking ability did not slow down even if he stayed up all night.
Time flies.
Lennok, who took a revolver out of his pocket and was cleaning it, sensed a little noise outside.
Immediately release magic in all directions and observe the presence.
2 km radius. His cognitive ability, which has developed much broader and more intensely than before, scans his surroundings sharply.
As expected, I was able to discover that all kinds of unknown heat surrounded this area.
Lennok concentrated even more, gauging the strength of the presence that was quickly gathering in this place.
‘About two signs of strong heat. Then this column. The rest is about one hundred and fifty…’
Two heads leading the crowd and ten officers. 150 members.
It’s a smaller number than Jenny said, but it’s not a number that can be caught off guard.
As soon as I headed out with my cold head, the people who were waiting immediately jumped at Lennok.
“Damn sorcerer…!! Outside right now…”
“I know.”
Lennok, who cut off the man’s words, continued to pay attention to the movement outside.
The speed is… quite fast.
If there were one or two people like this, they could be considered magical users, but if more than a hundred people were running at once, it seemed highly likely that they were using a vehicle.
Then Joe returned from patrol and shouted as he ran toward the warehouse.
“come!! All ready!”
Woooooo!!
Along with those words, the faint sound of engines could be heard from afar.
Breaking through the light darkness, the headlights illuminate all directions and the acrid smell resonates and stings the tip of the nose.
It wasn’t long before the darkness in this area completely cleared, and the surroundings were all brightly lit by car lights.
Fireworks
“…….”
Looking at the sound of engines and lights all over the wall, other people probably noticed that the area near this warehouse was completely surrounded.
People turned to Lennok with frightened expressions, but Lennok deliberately stiffened his expression and replied.
“Just guard the entrance. I’ll take care of the rest.”
Even the strongest person in this position is the only one who can use them somehow.
It was necessary to keep as cool as possible and to instill composure.
At least, it’s good that the person with the ability to chlorine, who was counter-threatening by Lennok, is standing in the front, but if it’s really dangerous, Lennok or something will run away.
As he pondered, the harsh horn sounded closer.
They hold on to their respective equipment and wait.
I see blurry figures with their backs to the headlights, but they don’t approach the warehouse.
Are they waiting to figure out the situation here?
After a long silence, the first thing I moved was the wall near the warehouse, not the car at the entrance.
coo!!
A roar erupts as the earthshaft shakes slightly.
“Hee-ik…!!”
Someone screamed, but there is no one who does not sympathize with that feeling.
It didn’t take long to figure out the situation.
The gang’s vehicles surrounding the warehouse were crashing into the wall.
‘I’m thinking of destroying all the walls and completing the siege.’
The cruel intention of not letting a single person live was felt, but Lennok burst into laughter.
How much do you know how much you understood your opponent in this short amount of time, did you choose the path to crash into without thinking like that?
It was confirmed by the number they just held out.
It was already decided who would not be able to return alive in this place.
As soon as the thought ends, the arrangement shines through.
Aaaaaaang!!
A deafening explosion from behind. A fierce hot air that loosely wets your back.
The dark sky was dyed crimson and the heat rose up.
At this moment, everyone looks up at the sky with the same feeling.
A roaring old jeep spins in the air, flipping its body around.
Woooo!!
A red-hot fireball flying in the sky lands right in front of the warehouse site, scattering sparks in all directions.
People panicked and fled in all directions, but Lennok did not blink an eye and was lost in thought.
‘Even if I was swept away by the explosion, I wouldn’t have flown this far… What is it for?’
Lennok knew better than anyone else the power of the [Claymore] magic he had installed.
The amount of mana invested and the range power that was modified were already perfectly arranged in his senses.
No matter how violently it explodes in contact with the oil on the body, it is strange that an explosion large enough to blow up the car occurs.
While worrying so much, Lennok suddenly noticed oil leaking from the inside of the car and his eyes lit up.
It’s engulfed in flames and hard to see, but it’s a deep fluorescent color that’s completely different from ordinary oil.
As soon as it leaks out of the body and encounters heat, it reacts rapidly and ignites the flames.
It seemed that the gang was using a different type of fuel for driving rather than normal fuel.
When that small coincidence and Lennok’s arrangement met, in an instant, a spectacle unfolded over the night sky.
Quaang! Kwaaaang!! Kwaaaaang!!!
Explosion doesn’t end once.
Explosive sounds heard one after another and fireballs rising like fireworks over the dark sky.
They are paying the price for being ignorant and ignorant without any special preparation.
With the shaking of the ground, the surroundings suddenly turned bright like broad daylight.
Under the light, Lennok could make out the face of the head leading the gang.
A shaved head and a younger-looking face. An elongated scar on the corner of the mouth. And the baggy training clothes that don’t go well with the dignity of the captain.
Another man standing next to him was holding a languidly long cane and smiling strangely.
Lennok’s eyes lit up when he noticed the subtle magic emanating from the man with the wand.
‘You’re a wizard.’
This is the third time meeting the same wizard.
Professor Aris Richellen. A search-type wizard who was helping the scavenger. and this man
And it’s the first time you’ve faced him face-to-face.
what kind of magic to use How should I respond? Which series do you mainly use? What sinister system do you have?
Would it be better to fly the first ball? Shall we take it and blow the counter?
‘I would like to know.’
Lennok, who had thought of dozens of thoughts in an instant as soon as he saw the wizard, was slightly surprised to find himself being engulfed in his own thoughts.
“…….”
Losing concentration in front of hundreds of gang members was dangerous.
But I am very curious.
What kind of magic the wizards of this world truly use.
What kind of offensive means will be forced to fight. How to counter the magic I use.
His reason and judgment, most perfectly suited to the magician’s talent, went beyond enjoying the moment and fully indulging it.
Yes. It felt too futile to deal with the search-type wizard I had met the other day.
Wasn’t it possible to prevent Lennok’s interference and, on the contrary, to see through the magic, and was shocked by overclocking in an instant?
But this wizard is different.
Isn’t it one of the two heads who stand at the head of the gang and lead the group?
You might be able to fight a much higher level than that.
“…Huh.”
…..Calm down.
As I took a deep breath, the smoke penetrated my lungs deeply.
Along with the sensation of a heavy hit on the back of the head, the medicinal ingredients that quickly permeate the body slightly add strength.
Lennok, who had regained his composure in an instant, turned his gaze back to his surroundings.
The effect of [Claymore] was so explosive that a hole was punched through the siege net surrounding it.
In the first place, the idea of blocking the escape route with about 100 people was absurd, but it is positive that there are vacancies in the already small number of troops.
In fact, those standing in front of Lennok must have noticed the situation, and their faces were full of colors.
Spreading his mana, he quickly scanned the surroundings once more.
‘The wrecked vehicle is a little over the tropics. The number of people remaining is almost exactly about 100 people.’
Most of the personnel are also focused on the front of the warehouse site.
There was no reason to be vigilant, but there was no need to be nervous any longer.
Place your right hand on your neck to create magic.
Woooo!!
The words from his voice roared in all directions like thunder, accompanied by violent vibrations of magic power.
[How long are you going to wait like that?]
“……!!!”
[Come in. There must be something you want to say.]
The engine sound that had been ringing in my ears suddenly stopped.
Others can be heard getting out of the car, along with a somewhat agitated mumble of people.
The flames attached to the completely ruined car body disappeared and darkness fell again.
Breaking through the blurry darkness. I heard people approaching.
Indeed, the gang members were walking toward the back of the warehouse.
Originally, such a show of willingness to talk like Lennok said would not have happened.
From the gang’s point of view, it would be enough just to wipe out all the people gathered here and secure a sample of the new drug.
However, the damage caused by the [Claymore] magic that Lennok worked on in advance was so powerful that even a gang could never ignore it, and it made them hesitate to take rash actions again.
But Lennok, who made the situation this way, quietly pulled the man next to him and whispered in his ear.
“Tell the people in front of you to close your eyes and shoot them right away when they come in.”
“Yes…yes?”
Seeing the man with a grotesque expression on his face, Lennok spoke again.
“As soon as you enter, close your eyes and pull the trigger. Shouldn’t we all have a better chance of surviving if we start by reducing the number of people as much as possible?”
Fortunately, the man didn’t say stupid things like being cowardly or not.
Instead, he just quickly ran to the people in front with a face that seemed to immediately understand.
They are nothing more than enemies approaching to set up a siege in the first place and kill them all.
To say that he was cowardly or not different from words against a gang that was no different from street criminals was bullshit.
In the dark, people very stealthily finished loading and put their fingers on the trigger.
They, too, have an intuition that all victories are at stake in this moment given by Lennok.
Did you notice?
Right in front of the entrance to the warehouse site, I feel the man who was leading the way slightly slowing down.
The moment the other gang members enter the warehouse completely unaware of it.
[Flux Light]
Lennok fired a light source that was dazzling enough to light up the whole world.
Faaaaaa!!
Rather than simple light, a brilliant light closer to a flashbang pierced the gangster’s optic nerves in the dark.
In response, the other people who had their eyes closed tightly pulled the trigger in unison.
Tata Tata Tata Tata!!!
“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!”
“It’s a trap!! Avoid everyone!”
“You fucking bastards!! Oh, no!!”
The situation turned into mayhem as members of the gang, who had just walked cautiously, screamed madly at the shooting.
However, except for the leading group, who was helpless to see if this situation was not expected by the gang, the rest began to retreat quickly.
The damage was less than expected, but Lennok was satisfied with hitting the first attacker first.
There was no way they would have expected the existence of [Flux Light] from there, so if they weren’t superhumans capable of reacting in that short amount of time, no doubt a lot of people would have been incapacitated.
And other people didn’t know that either, but rather actively came out and started shooting.
Doo doo doo doo!!!
“Eyes are my eyes…!!!”
“so painful!! I can’t open my eyes!!”
Along with hoarse hoarse shouts coming from over the wall, gunshots, explosions, and fireworks burn brilliantly.
As soon as the person with the ability to chlorine, who had been attacked by Lennox earlier, saw the opportunity, he burrowed into the gang and set himself on fire.
Lennok, too, did not stand still and immediately raised his mana to the fullest and held it in his left hand.
After he uses magic once more, the fact that he is a wizard will be discovered at once, but for now, the most important thing is to continue this offensive.
I pull out familiar images from my unconscious mind all at once and draw them on the palm of my hand.
Pajijijijijijijik!!!
A common magic flower for the Lightning class. Along with Thunder Calling, the magic called the symbol of thunder strike shines here once again.
[Chain Lightning]
Faaaaaaaaaaaa!!
The bright blue current emanating from Lennok’s ten fingers split into dozens of branches in an instant and spread out in all directions.
A blue flower that bloomed in the cold midnight air overcame obstacles and scattered its blue petals across the battlefield that had turned into a mayhem.
Although Lennok’s allies have not yet arrived, this is the place where most of the gang members who have retreated are gathered.
Lennok didn’t miss the moment when he was most effective at projecting firepower and not easily revealed.
“Gyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!”
“Aaaaa…!!”
In the Blitz series, when the magic specialized in ranged attacks bombards all directions, the formation collapses in an instant and the road opens.
Lennok, who confirmed that a one-sided attack had begun as dozens of people dug in between them, immediately saved his magic.
That’s all there is to help out there.
Now it was time to deal with the head.
I slowly turn my gaze in the direction where the sharp life is flowing.
A wizard who came into the warehouse premises at some point and looked at him blankly.
A curly-haired man crouching on a wall looking down at him as if having fun.
Meeting eyes with the two heads of the gang, two of the strongest and most dangerous opponents, Lennok slowly raised his mana once more.
Even
in the midst of the chaos, the two entered the warehouse intact and were facing Lennok.
You probably noticed his presence the moment Lennok used Chain Lightning.
The two slowly approached the premises and drove Lennok into the warehouse very naturally.
Three gazes collide tightly in the air.
The long-haired man, who was looking down at Lennok with an amused look, said to the wizard.
“Grim. You didn’t tell me there was a guy like this.”
“I don’t know.”
The wizard replied in an emotionless voice.
“It was impossible to save such a wizard with the capital and skills of Amnac Pharmaceuticals. That has already been confirmed on our side.”
“Then what is this bastard standing in front of us right now? Look at the way he raises his eyebrows.”
“…….”
Lennok gave a grin instead of replying.
The man looked down at him and gave a bloody laugh.
“Hehehe… This is a funny guy. Hey, are you sure you haven’t gone crazy?”
“why me?”
said Lennok, grabbing the filter and puffing out smoke.
“Rather than that, why don’t you worry about your men dying over there?”
On the outside, he pretended to be perfectly relaxed, but now his head was running tighter than ever.
A two-on-one battle where you have to fight head-on in a situation where you don’t know the opponent’s ability.
Unlike previous enemies who simply excelled in physical ability, this time the wizard is also included in the force.
The possibility that a moment’s carelessness and mistakes lead directly to death is also a situation that cannot be ruled out.
“Oh you mean that? doesn’t care. Garbage that will be used once anyway. Let’s cool it down right here.”
A man with thick hair smiles a cruel smile.
“These bastards are all the ones who ate something from me because they wanted something. It’s time to put down that burden and fly away.”
“Guyle. Stop talking nonsense.”
“why. Just looking at it, it looks weak. What difference does it make if you chat with someone who will go after you anyway?”
“If you continue like this, we have no choice but to reconsider your recruitment?”
“…….”
As the two looked at each other silently, Lennok roughly noticed the situation.
‘That wizard didn’t originally belong to this gang.’
And are you thinking of abandoning the tight-knit organization that seems to be the leader of the group and moving to the wizard’s side?
No matter how bloody and fleshy they roll around the streets at night, the purpose of having a conversation with each other does not change.
Lennok laughed involuntarily, feeling as if he had smelled human life in this brief moment.
Gail, who didn’t miss the look, pointed a finger at him and said.
“Look at this. You say this guy has been eating and drinking alone like he’s gone crazy? That’s fucking cheeky. Let’s just kill it quickly and find a sample.”
“…That’s not wrong. You don’t have to look at obstacles for a long time.”
The wizard slowly raised his mana with his eyes shining.
Lennok looked closely at the movement of the magic power and focused his mind to grasp its principle.
Surprisingly, just by looking at the quality of magic power and the flow of movement, Lennok was able to understand to some extent what the magician intended to use magic for.
Thin and elongated horsepower. Strong rotational force and dull color.
‘Border form. I’m thinking of blocking the escape route.’
I had no intention of standing still.
The moment when the wizard is about to shout something with his mouth while brandishing his staff.
Lennok drew his revolver without hesitation.
Taang!!
“chamber…!!”
At that moment, the blue curtain that was about to stretch out from behind him quickly moves in front of him and deflects the bullets.
Although there was no damage, the attempt was naturally canceled as the barrier magic that the wizard originally tried to cast acted as a shield.
He looked at Lennok, dumbfounded.
It was as if Lennok hadn’t the slightest idea that he would fight back.
Gail giggled, grabbed his stomach, and laughed.
“Ha ha ha ha!! What are you doing now you idiot!! No matter how weak he looks, where is the guy watching that?!”
“…….”
Lennok scratched his head in silence, not knowing that the magic would be canceled at once with such a light check.
It was difficult for him to understand, as it was natural for him to complete his magic while crawling on the ground.
The face of the wizard, who had been degraded to be ridiculed in an instant, turned red.
His distorted face could be seen even in the dull darkness.
“However, a magic user dares to block my magic!”
“…Is being a magical user an insult?”
Lennok replied, pulling the gong and raising the revolver again.
Faced with the gun, the wizard flinched and immediately took up his staff and entered a defensive posture.
It is clear that he was very nervous, as if he was thinking that bullets might fly if he had to.
He broke out in a cold sweat and began to speak quickly towards Gail.
“You don’t even know basic common sense when fighting a wizard. Protect me quickly!”
“why me?”
Gail let out an unpleasant laugh.
“I haven’t even used magic yet, and I’ve fired one bullet, so why are you so scared? It’s as if you’re going to make a mistake and look for it.”
“Isn’t he able to use magic first!”
Guild shook his head sullenly at the words of the wizard Grime.
“That’s a guy who handles lightning and light sources anyway. Do you know how flashy they are when they use magic?”
“……..”
Lennok realized why they were so relaxed with him in front of him when he saw Grime agree to that.
Basically, magics that deal with light often have considerable visibility in the process instead of having strong efficiency.
