Drug-Eating Genius Mage - Chapter 540
Genius Magician Who Eats Medicine Episode 540
Closed Area (2)
The area that had been isolated by the gate and security is wide open, and the shape of the launch pad and barrier come into view.
I couldn’t even try if I hadn’t opened all the doors by linking the system of the instrument panel and the dam.
But even Lennok hadn’t expected things to turn out this way from the start of the operation.
[The barrier will remain open for another 20 seconds… … !!]
Darby poked her head out of her arms and spoke quickly.
[It was forcibly opened due to confusion caused by security conflicts between the systems on both sides of the Kurbas Dam and the evacuation route, so it will be closed as soon as the system starts to recover!] I feel that
Darby’s ability is getting stronger and stronger.
To be precise, it should be said that it is not the size of power, but the growth of skills and techniques to deal with the brain space.
This sight now is also the result of forcibly creating a variable by colliding both sides of the network of the megalopolis, rather than Darby’s own power.
How to control the butterfly effect derived from small variables at will.
With a different direction and potential than Lennok, the Brain Spirit is also constantly learning and growing.
At a moment like this, Lennok himself should reduce his tendency to rely on Darby’s abilities, but quickly and intensely enough to be a moment’s trouble.
There wasn’t much time to think.
The other team members who noticed the change immediately moved.
Whoa… … !!
The bird-headed giant bounced out of the west door and slid all the way in front of Lennok.
A strong wind stood up the moment he grabbed the hammer hanging from his back and swung it sideways.
At the impact, the countless bullets that rained down from the sky changed their trajectory and missed Lennok and disappeared.
Ride on and on!!
Felix’s sunken eyes scanned the back of the aisle Lennok had walked out of.
Taking a peek inside the aisle where blood was pouring out, he raised his hammer and quickly stood in front of Lennok.
“Ban, how did this happen?”
“It worked out better than expected.”
Lennok looked down at the inside of his coat and replied.
“Move before the relief ship is completely destroyed. If we don’t ride that before the barrier closes, all we’ve been doing will be for naught.”
“Magat-sama is here!!”
Illya, who jumped out into the island before she knew it, took out two super-vibrating spears and swung them around.
The image of Ilya wiping out the soldiers guarding the relief boat and connecting the power to the launch pad.
Felix also immediately lifted the angle of the launch pad and fixed it, then smashed all the locks on the relief boat with his bare hands.
Even if no one told us to, we know exactly what we need to do.
“I must be too late.”
Kwaaaang!!
With the innocent Claude Azlan walking out with a dazzling pillar of light, everyone boarded the relief boat.
Beep beep beep!!!
Warning lights blaring incessantly from inside the canopy.
Felix, who checked the instrument panel in the cockpit, frightened and stuck out his tongue.
“… … It’s incredibly outdated. It is a remodeled old transport aircraft that has been used for decades.”
“It would have been inevitable to make it possible to fly in Area 25.”
Illya, who quickly fastened her seatbelt and sat down, tapped the communicator.
“Chief Grimes. How to operate the relief boat… … !!”
[After operating the engine of the relief ship, the automatic flight system is installed to the target point… … .]
Beep!!
As soon as the lights on the instrument panel came on, the warning text was dyed red.
[Auto flight detection sensor not working. Manual flight required.]
“… … .”
“… … .”
Lennok and Felix looked at each other’s faces. The manager, who was watching the screen with the transmitter, was also speechless.
A situation that was completely unexpected at the beginning of the operation.
“no no… … !! Wait a minute, if things go like this… … !!”
“Well, here it is my turn. Even if you look at it like this, the experience of participating in the battle as a pilot in childhood… … Ahem.”
Claude, sitting in the cockpit with an air of pomp, tilted his head as he looked at the instrument panel.
“I’m sure this was the control stick for takeoff… … .”
Boaaaang!!
As the innocence fiddled with the instrument panel at will, flames gushed out from the back of the launch pad and pushed the relief boat up into the sky.
The appearance of a relief boat flying up dozens of meters in an instant.
“Ugh… … !!”
“It’s been such a long flight… … !!”
Felix and Ilya gritted their teeth and Lennok’s complexion, which was taking motion sickness pills, also turned pale.
“To reach beyond the barrier, flybys must cross the boundary of the enclosed area. If it is not operated properly, it will surely crash… … !!”
Automatic flight is almost impossible due to the magic particle exposure in the closed area.
A food relief ship is an airship that has been modified to transport food through such adverse conditions.
The remodeling of the old transport aircraft is probably also because the simple and simple structure of the aircraft is environmentally advantageous.
However, because of that, the problem was that there was no corner to intervene with Darby’s hacking.
A situation where you have to manipulate the relief boat by relying purely on the memory of innocence.
Lennok sat in the cockpit, realizing that at this rate he would fall from the firing position and land on the ground.
Lennok, who quickly checked all the units and control sticks on the instrument panel, immediately turned his head.
“Hey Felix. There will be thick levers on either side of the wall under the relief boat seats. Get ready to grab and spin.”
“You mean this?”
“Why is there such a lever under the seat… … .”
“It’s a reserve function for the manual operation of the relief ship. It seems that you can directly manipulate the wings of the transport plane with it.”
After hearing Lennok’s explanation, Felix murmured incredulously.
“I didn’t even consider boarding an ordinary human… … .”
A method of forcibly maintaining lift by holding a lever and rotating it as if rowing.
It’s obvious, but it doesn’t even budge with ordinary human power.
It’s just a crude function that was temporarily remodeled and pasted in order to somehow maintain the altitude in an area where flying is impossible.
But now, there was only one way for all four of them to cross the closed area intact.
“After calculating the flow of air here, I will give you instructions by specifying the frequency at which the wings vibrate.”
As he said that, Lennok’s left eye was shining bright purple.
The Mystic Eye of the left eye visualizes the realm of possibility through Lennok’s imagery.
Lennok said, quickly checking the launch trajectory above the relief line.
“If you don’t start within 7 seconds, you’ll lose forever. Choose.”
“… … great.”
Illya nodded as she firmly gripped the lever sticking out from under the seat with both hands.
The wings of the simultaneous relief boat trembled faintly, and the aircraft began to oscillate wildly up and down.
“I’m ready, half. Please give me instructions.”
“After 3 seconds, rotate the left wing for 1.7 seconds.”
“… … yes?”
“After 15 seconds, rotate the right wing for 1.3 seconds. After that, both wings were stopped simultaneously for 5 seconds. Starting from the left side, glide by repeating the vibration of each wing at 3-second intervals.”
“… … .”
“Was it difficult to understand?”
“No you can… … !!”
Felix slightly opened his beak at the sudden outpouring of instructions, and Illya gritted his teeth.
It requires incredibly delicate adjustments, but surprisingly, it doesn’t say impossible conditions at all.
What Lennok wants from the two is not to directly maintain manual flight, but to manipulate the time difference between lever rotations necessary in the process.
It is a very difficult and sophisticated requirement for giving instructions out of the blue, but if you give instructions in seconds like this, you can somehow fulfill them.
Woooooooooooo!!!!
The direction of the relief boat undulated and twisted as if dancing on the spot, and rose wildly up and down and plunged.
Kiki profit!!
“Woo-wook… … !!”
Even Felix clenched his beak with a pale complexion from the intense movement.
The moment Lennok gave instructions to Illya in succession with the magic eye activated.
A single word fell from the innocent mouth as he stared out the window.
“We have arrived.”
Shoot Aaaaa!
The wind that had been pounding the glass walls of the relief ship cracked like a lie, and a mighty steel barrier appeared in front of it.
It is so tall and magnificent that it far exceeds the height of the water wall of Kurvas Dam.
On top of the wall, which is covered with ink-colored metal as if it were being painted, there are only black and red letters and the number [25] plastered like a pattern.
The moment Felix and Ilya’s eyes are inadvertently directed as if possessed by the intimidation of the barrier. Lennok spoke once more.
“After 4 seconds, both wings rotate simultaneously. As long as you can.”
“All right… … !!”
The moment when two people frantically turn the lever and vibrate the wings vigorously at the same time.
The relief boat, which arrived on the flow of the air current, soared as if it were being pushed up into the sky.
The two air currents collide and the relief boat, exquisitely mounted on top of the explosion, soars dozens of meters from the spot.
The aircraft soared into the air and barely passed over the gray steel barrier.
keying!!
“… … !!”
With a sense of déjà vu as if the senses were reversed once, they fell straight into the closed area.
“You came in… … !!”
The moment Felix mumbled in disbelief and the exhausted Ilya closed her eyes with both hands hanging down.
Lennok and Innocence jumped to their feet as if they had waited.
Ignoring the appearance of the rapidly approaching ground, I unfasten my seat belt and get up to pick up my equipment.
The canopy opened wide at the same time as innocent snapping his fingers, and the dry air of the closed area seeped into the inside of the aircraft.
At the sudden movement, Felix and Illya got up from their seats and began to pack their equipment.
The fact that he can get up and pack his belongings even while falling almost vertically is proof of his superhuman abilities.
Felix, who adjusted his goggles, asked.
“I entered the area, but there is no reason to rush. Isn’t it enough just to settle down like this?”
“I didn’t listen to the manager’s explanation earlier. This isn’t an amphibious plane, it’s just a moving warehouse made by remodeling a transport plane.”
Lennox replied with a smile.
“This aid ship is not for salvage. It seems that the structure also drops items before impact. We must escape too.”
“Wait a minute, that means… … !”
Felix and Illya grimaced when they finally understood what Lennok was saying.
Innocent laughed and patted Illya’s shoulder.
“You’d better escape before you get caught in the explosion.”
“… … I really don’t have time to rest.”
Ilya let out a sigh and lowered his stance, and at the same time, the four new models jumped out of the falling relief boat and moved away.
Shortly thereafter, the entire front of the aid ship, which was driven vertically into the ground, exploded.
On the spot, he raised a pillar of fire that was extremely magnificent and emitted dazzling light in all directions.
Kwaaaaaang!!!
“Ugh… … !!”
Illya, stuck in a building that looks like an old stable, gets up weakly and Felix walks out of the shabby mansion.
Innocence, who was riding on the white spear pole, and Lennok, who walked out of his coat while holding on to a cane.
Although they tried to escape right before falling to the ground, all four of them were unscathed.
All of the people gathered here are only superhumans with a rank or higher who have completed the hierarchy.
“As expected, the judgment that brought you to this place was not wrong.”
Innocence, who had just walked down from the window sill, said with an embarrassed look.
“I heard that he was an excellent wizard, but I never dreamed that he would succeed in manual flight in that situation. It is my vice.”
“Certainly, a magician’s intelligence and judgment skills stand out in a place like this.”
Illya also muttered as if she was admiring her heart.
“I still can’t figure out how the frequency was sensed and the instructions were given randomly.”
“I was lucky. If I hadn’t gotten on the spot where the air currents collided at the end, I would have had to find another way.”
Answering that, Lennok looked back at the huge steel barrier they had jumped over.
“But I don’t like how difficult it is to get into the closed area… … . Do I have to repeat the same method when I go out?”
“Of course, it is not that there is no way to break through by force. But don’t you know why I didn’t do that?”
Innocent said with a laugh.
Since it is a team convened to handle the work of the closed area, it was not assumed from the beginning that it would draw attention from the outside or spread to the media.
Wasn’t the operation that just took over the relief boat also happened in an area where the city government, including the manager, could thoroughly clean up the situation?
“I don’t know if the entry was covert just after jumping over the tens of meters barrier in low-flying flight.”
Felix replied with a timid expression.
“It is highly unlikely that even the explosion of the relief ship just leaked through the barrier… … .”
Felix’s words stopped for a moment as he turned his gaze to the place where the relief boat exploded.
The other people who looked at the unusual reaction also did not say anything for a while.
Instead of exploding red fireballs through the air as the relief boat exploded into the sky.
It was because he was standing still.
* * *
The scene of the explosion that blooms like a dark red flower and is fixed in place as if time has stopped.
Even the broken and melting fragments of the relief boat are still visible between the explosions.
It was only natural that other people would be at a loss for words in that nonsensical phenomenon.
“This… … .”
“You are stopped. How could this… … .”
“I knew something unusual was happening inside the closed area, but… … .”
Illya let out a sad smile.
“Are you saying it was like this?”
“It’s not completely stopped.”
Lennox’s eyes went cold.
“Little by little, we are moving. It has become very slow, but the explosion itself continues to happen.”
“… … .”
“Rather than stopping time completely, it is a way to slow it down by extending it infinitely closer to the limit… … .”
It was one of those ways of dealing with time that felt quite familiar to Lennok.
The monsters who began to touch the power of time, which created a new gap between them by infinitely stretching the gap in consciousness, were doing it from time to time.
At the same time, something close to the infinitely slowing phenomenon that was realized around the cracks in the world that existed in Bagoong Fortress.
Something similar to those two phenomena was now taking place inside this closed area.
Felix was by Lennok’s side, arranging the conclusion.
“If the relief boat we came on is in this condition, it means that it will be affected even if it is not originally in the closed area.”
“Are you saying we could have fallen into a similar situation if we weren’t lucky?”
Illya helped Felix.
“The problem is that it is difficult to guess the trigger conditions of the phenomenon. What if any of us end up in a similar condition?”
“It’s great that we couldn’t confirm the moment the explosion stopped. If I had been aware of the magical flow at the time, I might have been able to find out the clue… … .”
Lennok, who had been quietly listening to the two of them, spoke.
“The conditions themselves may not be surprisingly complicated.”
“What do you mean?”
Instead of answering Illya’s question, Lennok raised his staff and touched a fragment of a nearby aid boat that stopped.
“As Felix said, the relief ship is not something that existed inside the closed area. If the power is strong enough to catch and imprison even the explosion of such a thing… … .”
The moment the shards of the relief ship move a little along the tip of the staff and are completely out of the blast radius.
Wedge love!!
The shrapnel flew past Lennok’s face at great speed and lodged itself in the collapsed wall behind him.
Sudden rapid acceleration, as if the time that had stood still until now was a lie.
However, Lennok merely gestured at the spot where the debris had swept through with an expressionless face.
“It would be correct to assume that a certain space itself has that kind of power.”
“You think there is an area that causes this phenomenon in a specific space in the closed area… … .”
“How about exploring the surroundings a bit more?”
Felix looked at Illya, who was deep in thought, then looked away.
“If what Ban said is true, there is a possibility that similar traces or phenomena exist all over the closed area. And if there is a direction or place where such a phenomenon occurs with a particularly high frequency… … .”
It’s probably the area where the particle power plant is located.
The party then split up to scan the terrain near the barrier where the relief line had fallen.
As each of them has excellent magic power sensing ability, they can explore a radius of thousands of meters even if they spread the distance in all directions.
It was Lennok who first noticed the anomaly.
“Come to the abandoned mart 400 meters away. You seem to have a rough idea of what’s going on in the closed area.”
Lennok, who summoned the other three through the pager, pointed to the shabby mart.
An old commercial building that has not been used by people for decades.
All the paint is peeling off, and all sorts of groceries and utensils are rotten and crumbled and strewn about the shelves.
But among them, there are unusually intact walls and fresh food that looks like it was just made.
A strange phenomenon where old and new walls are jumbled together as if stained, and items that look particularly new are seen between the collapsed shelves.
Felix picked up one of the chocolate bars that had been left looking like new on the shelf and munched on it.
“The taste is no different from an ordinary chocolate bar. There doesn’t seem to be anything wrong with the content itself.”
“… … Is it okay to pick up and eat food that might have been exposed to radiation like that?”
“Ain species usually have a strong digestive system. That much won’t matter.”
Felix turned the wrapping paper around to check the manufacturing date and nodded.
“In terms of time, it was made decades ago. These foodstuffs are still preserved in good condition… … .”
It is difficult to dismiss it as a coincidence since we found traces similar to the stop of the explosion of the relief boat.
It’s not that decades have passed since the entire lockdown area was completely isolated.
Some of the areas or spaces remain intact at the time of the moment when this area was isolated and still preserve the memory.
“I was wondering what the cause of the radiation exposure of magic particles in the closed area would be, but if this is the case, it makes sense right away.”
As Lennok said, he swiped the painted wall with his gloved hand, which was still like new.
“Magic particles that have been confined in a specific space for decades are rapidly disintegrating, unable to withstand the changed speed of time as they leave the area.”
Magical particles that used to exist with the same properties in the same space
disintegrate into particles through the impact the moment they cross the barrier of a different timeline.
The radiation exposure of the magic particles generated through that method is bursting out on a scale that is difficult to dilute even with the water of Kurbas Dam, beyond the steel barrier on a tremendous scale.
“A conclusion has been drawn. The magic particle exposure does not occur at the power plant in the closed area. It is just a side effect of the phenomenon that occurred at the power plant.”
Lennok stood up, rubbing the crumbly paint powder on the tip of his glove.
“The project being carried out at the power plant in Area 25 seems to be space-time research.”
