Drug-Eating Genius Mage - Chapter 539

Genius Magician Who Eats Medicine Episode 539

Closed Area (1)

“There was an incident where more than thousands of people were slaughtered without any sign.”

A conference room located at the inner gateway of the Kurvas Dam. said Keegan, who projected a hologram on the wall.

“As a result of investigating the cause of death, it was confirmed that all of them showed the same high fever seizure and confusion. I realized that the strong exposure phenomenon was the cause.”

A map of the central district of Balkan, a megalopolis projected through a hologram.

“The area where the exposure occurred is Area 25. It is the first area designated as a closed area along with District 19.”

“Are you saying that the Kurvas Dam was built to prevent radiation exposure in Area 25?”

Keegan nodded at Felix’s question.

“The phenomenon of exposure to magical particles is difficult to detect, and it takes a long time to recognize the seriousness of it as it is concentrated and accumulated in the body.”

“… … .”

“However, if the water resources of the 20th District are concentrated, it is also possible to dilute it to a level that is harmless to the human body.”

“… … That’s a dangerous story.”

Felix said with a tired expression.

“If this fact is known, the Central Council will not be safe either.”

Keegan nodded to Felix’s words.

“If this is disclosed to the outside world, some city council members may have to step down. But that’s all.”

“… … .”

“Decades have passed and now the interests surrounding the Kurvas Dam are so complicated that we don’t know who to hold accountable for.”

Even if this problem is announced to the outside, who will say that this huge multi-purpose gravity dam will be stopped and the problem of the closed area will be solved?

Stopping the dam to briefly check for exposure-related issues will shut down half of the water supply facilities in the 20th zone.

The financial loss that occurs in the meantime must be truly astronomical.

No one wants to step forward or take responsibility knowing that fact.

Especially because I know that this huge city has a mountain of problems that have festered and rotted like that.

“The academic community has concluded that it is virtually impossible to artificially generate exposure to magical particles.”

Illya, who had been quietly listening to the explanation, continued.

“Magic particles, which supply life with stable and efficient power, require enormous investment to disintegrate or annihilate.”

“… … .”

“Even if the decomposition process is exposed for a long time, it is difficult to harm the human body due to exposure to magic particles… … . To think that such a phenomenon has been going on for decades on this scale.”

Illya’s eyes shone sharply as she looked at Keegan.

“What kind of experiments have you been conducting in Area 25?”

“… … Back to the point. The problem is that in recent months, the phenomenon of exposure to magic particles has been getting stronger.”

“… … said Keegan

, looking around with a slightly stiff face.

“If this continues, it would not be strange if harmful particles were leaked to all water facilities in the 20th district.”

The direct flow of highly harmful radiation particles through the water of the dam to the water supply of the 20th zone.

The human casualties and financial damages that will occur through the process are difficult to dare to measure in terms of scale and figures.

“The upper part believes that there is a high possibility that a runaway occurred at the particle power plant located in the deepest part of District 25.”

Keacon continued.

“So you will aim to enter the closed area, find the power plant, and remove the cause of the exacerbation.”

“Where is the specific location of the power plant?”

Immediately upon Felix’s question, Keegan had his attendants distribute something.

A blurry distorted satellite image. It is difficult to recognize the shape because the image quality is severely blurry due to how old and old the data of the photo is.

“This is a picture taken by an elemental satellite right before Area 25 was designated as a closed area.”

“The quality is terrible… … .”

“Fortunately, Mr. Kyeon-roe, who is here, seems to be able to detect the level of exposure to magic particles to some extent, so there shouldn’t be much difficulty in finding the way.”

“If I hadn’t recruited Mr. Ban, the difficulty of this task would have been much higher.”

At Illya’s sharp point, Keegan laughed bitterly, unable to refute.

“Isn’t it really surprising that the presence or absence of a mage determines the success or failure of an operation like this?”

“… … .”

In fact, Ilya shut his mouth at the most reasonable refutation.

To be honest, it was self-evident that even if Ilya and Felix’s strength and values were combined, it would be difficult to catch up with just one Lennok.

high-ranking superintendent. Among them, everyone here understood the value of a wizard who completed and surpassed the hierarchy with pure magic.

“There must be more that need explanation.”

“yes?”

Lennok’s sunken gaze turned to Keegan.

“The location of the dam is District 22. The closed area is Area 25. Even if it is assumed that it is going in a straight line from a close place, it is difficult to break through due to the barrier blocking the area.”

“… … .”

“According to Lucinda’s words, the time for the biometric code to be alive and functioning is at most one hour. We spent about 20 minutes traveling and briefing, so we should be in front of the entrance to the closed area within 30 minutes.”

Lennok knocked on the table without waiting for Keegan’s answer.

“Considering the word ‘shoot up’ you said earlier, it seems that you want a method of being ejected and falling over an enclosed area… … . Then, before that, we have to reach the launch pad or the ejection port.”

Only Lennok’s voice echoed in the quiet conference room.

“The fact that the fact has not been told yet means that there are hidden circumstances or secrets in the location or function of the launch pad itself.”

“… … A high mage’s intuition is truly remarkable. Did you already understand that?”

Keegan smiled and snapped his fingers as the attendants began stacking military equipment beside the table.

clap clap clap!!

Suits and gas masks similar to those worn by others, as well as firearms and mechanical liaisons and accessories.

Keegan said in front of the attendants who quickly divided and distributed equipment that appeared to be screen transmitters and location tracking devices in front of the four people.

“What I am about to tell you is something that should be kept strictly confidential. That’s why I’m telling you this last.”

The moment Felix hesitated, Keegan’s face hardened.

“In the closed area… … There are survivors still alive.”

“… … A survivor?”

“We don’t know who they are or what purpose they serve, but there are certain traces of their survival.”

Keegan lowered his voice and whispered quietly.

“And there are members of the Senate who, for some unknown reason, regularly send food aid ships for them.”

“… … .”

“At this point, it’s the only way to get something into the lockdown. Other methods are administratively, physically and technically inaccessible.”

After listening to Lennok’s words and Keegan’s explanation, everyone finally fully understood the operation.

Board the food relief boat, recognize the biometric code on the barrier of the closed area, and enter.

We need to find the particle power plant inside the area and remove the cause of the exposure phenomenon.

While the others were silent at the difficulty of the absurd operation, Keegan started connecting the screen transmitter.

“The Kurvas Dam’s underground evacuation route is connected to classified military facilities, including an island where a food aid launch pad is located.”

“… … .”

“In order to activate the relief line, the soldiers guarding the launch pad must be occupied and penetrated simultaneously from four directions.”

Finally, Keegan, who attached Lennok’s transmitter directly to his chest, spoke.

“Operate the four different instrument panels at the same time to activate the launcher and get on the relief boat.”

That strange gaze, half old and half young, gazed silently into Lennok’s eyes.

“I will take responsibility for all the clean-up of the work.”

* * *

The meeting room where the four superhumans left.

In the space where dozens of attendants still remained, there was a tense silence.

The sound of swallowing saliva, resounding heartbeats and regular beeps are mixed together to create a strange melody.

Beep beep beep… … .

Amidst the beeping, someone quietly asked.

“Would it be okay?”

“What do you mean?”

One of the attendants was staring at the wall of the conference room with a worried expression on his face.

“Apart from the other three, there is a circumstance that in the case of Kyeon-ro, he has been seriously injured recently.”

“… … .”

“I heard that without life support equipment, it would be inconvenient to move around, but the conditions are not too bad for this operation… … .”

Regardless of how powerful and great superhumans the high-ranking wizards are, they too will eventually die when their brains and hearts are damaged.

Even a sorcerer who demonstrates great value and talent in other areas than combat ability cannot avoid acting alone in such a special operation.

An underground evacuation route leading to the island where the food aid launch pad exists. The senator’s private soldiers guarding the road.

It’s not just about dealing with them.

“Considering the environment of the evacuation route, we need to have an attendant who can fight even now follow.”

Underground evacuation routes are strong against external shocks, but are fairly weak against internal shocks.

It wouldn’t be strange if, in a cramped and dark passageway, he used high-powered magic or techniques excessively, the passageway collapsed in its entirety and he was buried alive dozens of meters underground.

In the end, you have to reach your destination using magic power that doesn’t damage the passage, sophisticated technology, and strong physical strength.

In this aspect, isn’t Kyeon-rok a superman who is in fact placed in completely opposite conditions?

It is an extreme situation in which it is difficult to guarantee success even if many-on-one battles are repeated endlessly through the manifestation of one’s own fighting ability and local scale magic.

Even if he is a magician who has accumulated an unrealistic record in the dark, can he demonstrate his skills in conditions and environments that suppress his abilities to this extent?

But before he could answer, Keegan turned his head toward the wall the other attendants were looking at.

“… … Azlan didn’t say anything about it.”

“… … .”

“The other team members also had no comment on the safety of the dog. It’s none of our business to intervene.”

Each of the four screens that appeared on the wall of the meeting room moved quickly, and deafening sounds of gunfire and explosions began to reverberate in succession.

Kwaaaaang!!

The four screens land on the ground at almost the same time and run at different speeds.

A movement to attack the missile launch pad located in the center of the island where the food relief ship is located from four different directions.

= How could an outsider infiltrate this far… … !!

= They are criminals trying to invade the closed area. Suppress them immediately!!

Tatatatatatang!!

As the area of the island is not small, the number of soldiers guarding the four directions toward the launchpad easily exceeds hundreds in each direction.

As much as they guard the secret area directly related to the closed area, all the soldiers are magic users at a considerable level.

Not to mention the support of firearms, they do not hesitate to attack without fear of close combat using magical power.

The four-pronged supermen’s transmitter screen gradually increases its shaking prior to the full-scale battle.

That fleeting moment when the other attendants were watching with a tense look.

[There’s one thing I’d like to check before boarding the relief boat.]

Lennok’s calm voice echoed through the conference room.

[I said that the purpose of the food aid ship was for survivors who might be alive in the closed area.]

“… … .”

[But the senators I know are not so benevolent or compassionate. Rather, I wonder if it is to hide the real purpose by putting up such a justification.]

“… … It is a fact that has been verified through various circumstances that there are survivors in the closed area.”

[Yes?]

Lennok laughed.

[That situation is Manager Grimes. Is it because you are a survivor of the closed area?]

“… … !!”

Keegan made no reply, but it was inevitable that the faces of the other attendants who were assisting him would turn pale.

[An unusual appearance with a mix of youth and aging. It was too heterogeneous to be a natural constitution or a chronic disease. It looked very close to a man-made disaster.]

“… … .”

[If the phenomenon that happened to your body itself is related to the radiation exposure phenomenon, you can also guess what is going on inside to some extent.] “What do you want to hear?

”

[I just want to hear the answer to my guess. There was no chance to ask a separate question if it wasn’t now.]

“This is a question in an area that I cannot answer.”

[Occupy the launch pad and wait until the relief boat is activated.]

Clap!!

At the same time, a heavy metal friction sound came from beyond the screen.

[In the meantime, think slowly. It should be enough time to change your mind.]

“What the hell does that mean… … .”

Keegan tried to answer that, but soon opened his mouth in a daze when he saw the video projected on the wall of the conference room.

Unlike the other three screens projected through the transmitter.

The landscape of the video projected from Lennok’s transmitter was changing completely differently.

Paji Jiji!!!

As soon as I pull out a thunderbolt and throw it into the empty air, a soldier rushes in from the darkness and puts his head into the brilliance.

Awesome!!

The upper part of the neck disappears on the spot, and the corpse spurts blood.

It doesn’t end with a single coincidence.

If you fling the flames under your feet, the superman who rises from the shadows will burn alive.

If you raise the muzzle of a revolver above your head, as if you’ve been waiting for it, you’ll be hit at a defenseless vital point.

Every time the colorful magic glows through your fingertips, illuminating the dark underground evacuation route.

Instead of avoiding the trail, the soldiers rushed as if they wanted to die.

As soon as he grasps the opponent’s speed and position, he anticipates the next move and casts magic there.

It is impossible to avoid the magic thrown in advance, and it leads to death by catching the breathtaking and exquisite breath on the verge.

A workshop that penetrates and overwhelms so perfectly that even a superman who has surpassed human reaction speed cannot react even if he sees it.

Even the attendants who were watching the scene through the transmitter stared at the screen at a loss for words.

“This is… … .”

“… … .”

Overwhelming predictive ability close to foreknowledge beyond the speed of cognition.

It is not an area that can be explained by fighting battles or analyzing patterns.

Combat intelligence hardened into a single ability by repeating intuition, judgment, experience, and countless combinations and calculations in the hands.

“Is this the way a high-ranking mage looks at the world… … .”

The words that one of the attendants muttered in a daze perfectly represented the feelings of the others.

You can’t share the moment even though you’re watching it yourself. You understand with your head, but you cannot accept it with your heart.

Even though he knew that he was a human being who lived and breathed like himself, all the lines of movement and judgments extending from the tip of his head and magical powers had already crossed the boundary of life.

Udu doo doo!!

The magic of electric shocks and flames rising through his will did not miss even for a moment.

Like a moth to the flames, like a madman galloping head-on to death.

The appearance of superhumans who die so easily that they rush madly toward the brilliance of Lenok’s magical power.

The hand that wields magic power is infinitely slow and leisurely.

The speed of dying humans beyond the transmitter changes fiercely and furiously, as if grinding people.

Kagagak!!

= Aaaaaaaaa!!

= Why don’t you avoid it! hold on!! Occupy a seat and stay in formation!!

=It is impossible… … !! It reads perfectly right from the start of the offensive- oh ok!!”

The superhumans guarding the passage were not blindly charging at Lennok.

Rather, they somehow step back, dragging time, maintaining formation, and struggling to hold out until the number of people piles up, but

even such minor movements forcefully seize the gap, turn their bodies back, burn their heads, and extract the marrow.

The movement of magic that dances on the wizard’s fingertips has already surpassed even other superhumans’ understanding.

As soon as the fighting and psychological warfare begins, the first move is to see through all the patterns and dispel the opponent’s magic.

As if looking into the future, grabbing the opponent’s collar and sending him to death, fragments of lightning flashed and scattered countless blood all over the aisle.

An unrealistic battle that seems to jump over the timeline and foresee and guide the ending of others in front of you.

The other three are also breaking through the evacuation route, demonstrating their unrealistic combat abilities without hesitation.

The battle that Lennok showed was not even a fight to the death in which he competes with his opponent in strength and speed.

Death falling in succession like flowing water Countless corpses falling one after another according to the gestures of the hands, as if staged.

Beyond it, like a wave parting, the path opened, revealing the control room.

coo!!

The shape of a huge island visible through the window wall of the control room, and the shape of a rocket-like food aid ship located in the center.

Even a mighty barrier tens of meters high spread out in front of such a relief ship.

The only passage to Area 25 was right there.

The hand seen through the transmitter screen grabs the button on the instrument panel without hesitation.

Keegan, who finally came to his senses, pressed the communicator and shouted in surprise.

“You must not activate the instrument panel yet. You must simultaneously activate the devices in the four areas to unlock and unlock the barrier’s door… … !!”

[I promised that you would take care of the aftermath.]

“… … yes?”

Beep!! Beep!! Beep!!

At the same time as Lennok’s answer, a red warning light began to flash in the meeting room where Keegan and his attendants were located.

[warning. Accessing system control authority of Kurvas Dam facility… … .]

[Invasion of restricted rights allowed. Forced closure of underground evacuation route security system.]

[Forcible ejection of southern evacuation route control authority. Forced ejection linked to 3 types of same access rights.]

The system of Kurbas Dam and the security system of the relief ship are interlocked at the same time to forcibly steal the security of the other three places.

Lennok hadn’t intended to wait for the other three from the beginning.

jump!!

The door to the control room, which had been tightly closed, opened wide, and the path leading to the relief ship descended beyond it.

The moment Felix and Ilya began to be seen at the end of the other three evacuation routes.

The tens of meters of barrier stretched out in front of the relief boat wriggled, then slowly demolished the wall and began to reflect the landscape beyond.

The sight of the barrier blocking the other side of the closed area starting to sink on the spot.

While Keegan watched with his mouth wide open, only Lennok’s voice echoed over the transmitter.

[I opened the door. I will enter the closed area from now on.]
