Drug-Eating Genius Mage - Chapter 582
Genius Magician Who Eats Medicine Episode 582
How to use space (6)
The downtown area where the headquarters district is located is temporarily blacked out when power supply to hundreds of nearby buildings is cut off.
A power outage was so powerful that the power supplied to the entire street was temporarily insufficient.
And the space magic that gathers that much energy and uses it as fuel to set fire to the sea.
“I knew that forcibly adjusting the function by overloading the output could cause repulsion between the particles, but that was not the intended result.”
Lennok murmured as he watched the purple halo of light falling from the sky.
“An antimatter magic particle weapon that takes instability as its essence and causes low-temperature great extinction. But because… … .”
Keyiing!!
Lennok grabbed the glassy brilliance in his hand and tossed it straight up into the sky.
“It’s not easy to maintain that instability for long.”
Inherent creation magic: Application of space magic
[Distortion Changyeon (歪曲昌連)]
[Decapsulation Leaves (脫却秘燁)] A
huge glass-colored barrier that rose in front of Lennok caught a group of purple lights falling from the sky.
Awesome!!!!
It wasn’t simply hitting the wall and blocking the access of the halo.
Even though the purple light is moving forward, the light that passes through the glass barrier still does not reach the ground.
It is as if the invisible space is infinitely stretched and the group of lights is forced to swim between the spaces, making a mess.
A season that does not push the external force away, but rather draws it deeply into the inside, but never reaches beyond it.
It was only then that the faces of the other superhumans hardened as they realized what type of magic Lennok was using to receive that bombardment.
“Space Warp… … !!”
Oneeil muttered in a shocked voice.
“That is nonsense. A single wizard could create a space barrier of this scale… … !!”
Everyone confirmed that Lennok was using the cartel headquarters’ reserve power, but it’s still hard to believe.
Most of what is supplied to the cartel headquarters is not pure magic prepared for magicians, but industrial power to circulate the facility.
In order to draw a large amount of such power and use it to implement magic, it is necessary to convert the power into magic power in real time and adjust its purity.
If he made even the slightest mistake, it wouldn’t be strange if he became an idiot and died from the reaction.
A transcendent magical power that no person with physical abilities in this place, who constantly sharpens his senses of the body, cannot be confident about.
What does it mean that such a high-difficulty task was succeeded with only a brief moment of concentration in this situation where steam and heat raged and a melee broke out?
That the man standing in front of the barrier of the underground vault split in half fully understood the concept of space itself and began to wield it as a rule.
It was proof that he was directly manipulating the space.
Woooooo!!!
Between the distorted spatial barriers, a group of purple lights that radiated madly rotated themselves, biting their tails and drawing a huge ring.
The form of a particle weapon that draws a circle and circulates along with it, losing its power in an instant and beginning to disappear.
The sense of heterogeneity in which the antimatter particle cannon, which should have sunk the whole cartel headquarters district, fades on the spot.
Before everyone fully realized what that meant, Lennok slowly raised his other hand that wasn’t gripping the wires.
Kagagak!!
At the same time, the distortion barrier that blocked the underground vault was split into dozens of branches and scattered in all directions, locking themselves in various places on the ground.
An extremely precise manipulation ability that separates the entire shattered cavity into spaces like broken pieces of glass.
Not only the concept of distorting space, but the skill of skillfully applying the concept itself through the phenomenon of separation and isolation.
However, it wasn’t Lennok’s ridiculous spatial magic that first caught the eye of the agents and the bosses of the cartel.
Only Lennok and Greta were facing each other and were isolated in the countless fragments of the Ghost in the Shell barrier that had been isolated like that.
“Chief Greta!!”
“I’ve been aiming for this from the damn beginning… … !!”
Chain and other agents try to move, but bloody giants and white-furred beasts block their path, and a cold barrier falls in front of them.
“It is not enough to understand the principle of the anti-gravity engine, so to think that the application method will be calculated backwards and dismantled in reverse… … .”
Realizing that, Greta smiled bitterly and sighed.
“Do you know that even if you bring a bunch of quantum computers from the central council, you can’t even try it here? There are no crazy monsters.”
An anti-matter particle weapon created by overloading the anti-gravity engine.
Lennok did not neutralize the power of the particle cannon by blocking it from the front.
By adjusting the direction of the space-distorted barrier, the process of creating the antimatter particle weapon is reproduced in reverse order.
By forcibly stabilizing the antimatter energy within the space barrier, the force was completely annihilated.
Space-type magic that consumes mana like crazy. A momentary miracle that was attempted with the power that was brought close to the limit by scraping the reserve power of the cartel headquarters to the bottom.
[Uuuuuuuuuu!!!!]
The flame-powered person burst into flames like crazy and tried to save her somehow, but she couldn’t reach it between the barriers that separated the space and just faded away.
“I’m sure you didn’t intend to go out on your own in this operation in the first place.”
Lennok smiled and walked slowly, facing Greta in front of him.
“Haven’t you given up on the existing operation and turned in a different way at the point of revealing yourself even though you know that the damage to your power is considerable?”
Although the strategies and plans that Greta Witherhild has shown so far are very radical and gambling.
It was just a decision that accompanied her because she had a solid basis and reason for herself.
However, the last appearance in the underground cavity with the person with the flame ability was far from planned or calculated.
At the point where much more time was dragged on than planned, her real purpose must have been to destroy the headquarters district, cause chaos, and get out of here safely.
Lennok noticed this early on and nullified Greta’s goal in one go.
“But on the other hand, if you tie only your actions, it means that you can stop the agent’s every move in advance.”
So, I was waiting for just one moment to tie Greta Witherhild down.
If the agent’s plan of action at the time Greta came to the fore was completely dependent on Greta’s improvisation,
the actions of the other agents would also stop at the point of capturing her alone.
Dozens of superhumans wield magical powers, send shockwaves everywhere, and try to break through the space distortion barrier and escape.
The small room that surrounds the two and is isolated in a common center is surprisingly quiet.
Clap!!
Lennok, raising his revolver, put his hand on Greta’s shoulder and turned her around.
“Shall we continue?”
“Haa, as expected, there is no such thing as everything in the world going your way. That’s why it was important to hit short and fall… … .”
Greta sighed and raised both hands with a smile.
“It is surrender. First of all, will you remove this dog-like stuffy space barrier?”
* * *
A sudden clash between the cartel and the agent. An agent assault operation in the headquarters district.
In the process, despite the surprising achievement of capturing the director Greta Wiederhild alive, the fact did not leak to the media.
The existence of a wizard who mediated all the conflicts and conflicts that intensified without rest with just one creation magic.
It was because the officials involved in this incident did not want the current situation, which was concluded by the intervention and talent of the third party, to escalate any further.
Clap!!
Hundreds of attendants and dozens of board members have returned and are standing in the spacious president’s office.
Greta, whose whole body was bound, was sitting in the center of the gaze of intense hostility and outright murderous intent, with a puzzled expression.
“A ticket to Machine City Machina?”
“I think an agent might have a ticket.”
said Lennok, who was smoking a cigarette across from her.
“I understand that the organization has a long history and has collaborated with other cities several times. Some of the Agents must have tickets.”
Saying that, Lennok touched Kansoa’s ticket he had obtained from the underground safe.
Greta, who confirmed the appearance of the ticket made in the form of a biochip inserted into her forearm, lifted her bound hands and scratched her chin.
“It’s not that level, but there is an agent on our side who has been transferred undercover to Machina. If you want, it’s not difficult to hand over your friend status instead.”
“Good. Bring it right now.”
“No more than that… … The first transaction condition in this negotiation is Makina’s ticket?”
Greta glanced up at Virgil, who was standing behind Lennok, with a puzzled look on her face.
“Are you negotiating, not Virgil, and you decided to turn the whole cartel over to this wizard friend?”
“Could it be?”
Virgil replied, furrowing his brow.
“As long as Ban’s achievements are great in this matter, I’m just taking care of his needs first. There are other conditions here.”
“Hmm… … .”
“You’ll have to pay the agent’s three-year budget as compensation and sign a contract not to tamper with the cartel’s business district for the next five years.”
thud!!
Virgil, who put the magically written contract down on the desk, stared blatantly into Greta’s eyes.
“Originally, I want to make the contract period much longer than this, but if you do, your position at the top may be replaced immediately.”
“… … .”
In order to pay compensation for several years of the budget given to the special agency at once, it would be impossible without the agency’s stockpile of materials being disposed of in large quantities.
This condition itself can greatly slow down the action of an agent who has maintained an aggressive tone.
Not to mention, a contract in which Greta pledges not to tamper with the cartel business district.
If you borrow the power of Geass and put a limit on the effect of about 5 years, you can take her life as a penalty.
“The contract itself is focused on limiting my actions… … .”
Greta looked over the contract with her hands tied and smiled bitterly.
“He is also quite smart. It looks like you didn’t learn from Oliviera in vain.”
“I know how you can conceive and carry out such a reckless operation.”
said Virgil, casting a sharp glance.
“A violent act that is impossible without receiving a definite answer from the Central Council that it can be dealt with. You must be leaving your belly behind.”
“… … .”
“I know that killing you here is not the end. If so, wouldn’t it be enough to put on a leash so that what you’re doing doesn’t go crazy for the head office?”
Looking at Greta, who finally lost her smile, Virgil laughed in reverse.
“It’s okay to continue commanding agents and run amok in the shadows. Except for our workplace. It’s enough for us to quietly take advantage of you behind your back.”
“under… … .”
Greta smiled as if she couldn’t help it and held out her hand.
“Give me the pen. Because I have to sign it.”
Dip a pen into the tip of Greta’s wrist, draw blood, and write her own name into the contract.
Restraint completed by signing the contract purely with Greta’s own will, not coercion or pressure.
Charreureuk!!
The phrases written on the top of the contract rose up on her arm after signing, wrapped around her forearm, glowed as if imprinted, and then disappeared.
Greta frowned as she realized that Gias was properly embedded in her body.
“Damn it, it makes me feel dirty every time.”
“You seem to have had similar experiences many times?”
“Such Geass? I already have one or five more.”
Greta smiled and waved her hand.
“If you make a mistake, you might not be able to protect Gias and die first.”
“You have good guts.”
Lennox gestured with a smile, and the restraints that bound her arms snapped.
Duduk!!
“Isn’t it too tight? Now that I am old, my skin elasticity is not what it used to be.”
Greta, rubbing her red-stained wrists from being tied up, gave Virgil a hand.
“Well, now that it’s like this, it seems like we’re destined to go together. Let’s do well in the future.”
“I will.”
Virgil didn’t bother to reject Greta’s handshake.
At the point where this happened, the damage the cartel suffered would be compensated many times over.
Greta will not stop the ethos of aggressively moving agents until now, but the cartel will no longer suffer the damage directly.
Then, naturally, the direction will be toward other organizations in the shadows, rivals and rivals of the cartel.
At the point when Greta herself filled the gias, the agent was no longer an enemy of the cartel, but took on a role that was tantamount to being the vanguard.
She must have realized this when she saw the contract and called herself a partner in the cartel.
“Let’s do well in the future.”
Duduk!!
Receiving Virgil’s firm handshake, Greta turned her gaze to Lennok.
“The ticket will be sent there as soon as we return to the agent headquarters. Can I send it to the cartel headquarters?”
“You know how. If you think about your back, the way to get a ticket must have already been decided.”
“… … .”
“It seems that he is receiving strong protection from the Central Council, but it must be because he has contributed to the work of the city government while his whereabouts are unknown.”
“hmm.”
“Did you have something you wanted to achieve by reorganizing your agent through the background you gathered like that?”
Greta laughed quietly at Lennok’s question.
“that’s right. I made a deal. You made a very risky deal.”
“… … .”
“This way is too busy. Today I made a mistake and fell down, but if I don’t die, I’ll get up and walk again. Can you tell me anything?”
“You think a little differently than I do.”
Greta nodded at Lennok’s plaintive reply.
“What good. Didn’t I say that the name of the solid is Ban?”
She smiled as she casually took Lennok’s hand and shook it.
“Today we met as enemies, but tomorrow we may meet again as external advisors. The first meeting was not good, but let’s meet as colleagues next time.”
“Your face is thick. Are you already thinking about working together?”
Lennox shook his head as he looked at Greta.
“It’s been some time since I didn’t receive a nomination request. If you want to work together, you will have to come with some reasonable conditions.”
“Puhahaha, did you just say that as a joke?”
Greta laughed openly at Lennok’s answer, then looked at Lennok with slightly subdued eyes.
“But you are not wrong. I was a little surprised to see that your demands preceded the cartel’s compensation for damages in this negotiation.”
“… … .”
“That means that not just Virgil, but all members of the cartel respect and follow your decisions and decisions. It also means that he is not a monster who is simply brute force.”
Looking at Lennok, whose expression didn’t change, Greta nodded.
“Do you know what it means to be willing to pay for your needs first, at the cost of just one person in this huge conglomerate?”
“… … .”
“I thought there would be variables in the plan, but knowing that you account for this much in the cartel is a harvest.”
The appearance of Greta, who answered casually and obediently entrusted her body to the directors of the cartel.
“So I’ll make sure I send the ticket to you first. If you don’t die, see you next time.”
Lennok watched silently as Greta disappeared in escort surrounded by high-ranking superhumans.
He’s probably thinking of releasing him at the right time along with the agent’s agents who will be imprisoned down there.
Lennok leaned back on the couch, rubbing his temples with a weary look on his face, gesturing to Virgil, who was staring down at him.
“Is it okay if I don’t follow you?”
“okay.”
Saying that, Virgil sat across from Lennok, where Greta was sitting, and lit up a cigarette.
“You must not kill Greta here today. I think this judgment is for the best.”
“I can’t kill you… … .”
“It started on the agent side, but if things get bigger here, we have no choice but to lose money.”
Virgil replied, lighting a lighter.
“Moreover, if you kill Greta, who is protected by the council, you will have to end up with the agent.”
“… … .”
“I don’t think it would be strange if one day such a day would come, but at least not today… … .”
Even if the cartel headquarters district is in danger of collapsing, it is possible to weigh the gains and losses without emotion.
I could see why Oliveira had appointed Virgil as the new first president and chief executive of the cartel.
Lennok thought that far and nodded.
“If the cartel thinks that way, it doesn’t matter. Shall we continue talking about the terms we promised?”
Most of what Lennok did in this incident was to shut down the underground vault and test new artifacts and space magic.
In the process of applying space magic in various ways, he consumed a lot of mental power, but all the mana he used in the process was converted from the cartel’s reserve power.
Lennok’s damage was so slight that Gileon’s ironclad wings could be repaired right away.
Clash between cartel and agent. In the process, it became a form of raising the cartel’s hand to some extent, but that does not mean that the two organizations wanted to fight to the limit and destroy each other.
Although they have different interests, it is obvious that the loss and confusion will outweigh the gains if the two forces, the positive and the negative, who have maintained a positive cooperative relationship with Lennok disappear.
It is desirable to conclude an agreement at an appropriate time and maintain the status quo.
The cartel will begin to benefit directly from the agents’ assets and actions, and the agents will begin to play more carefully in the shadows to recoup their losses.
Lennok’s job was to secure a ticket to Machine City and collect the reward Virgil had promised, rather than worrying about a non-existent shadowy order.
Virgil also nodded at Lennox’s words and bit the other board members and entourage.
“Yes, I was supposed to tell you about Kaise’s death. It’s not even a complicated story, so I’ll tell you right away.”
In the president’s office, which had become quiet, Virgil watched Lennok’s eyes.
“After Kaise’s death, there was a lot of discussion among officials about how to keep the body.”
“… … .”
“The war was almost over, and there was only division and conflict. It was impossible to entrust the body to just one person and ask for safekeeping.”
said Virgil, deep in thought, as if recalling what had happened at the time.
“Because Kaise’s power had a special meaning different from that of others, so did his body. In the end, at the last meeting, it was decided that those with the most suitable ability to preserve the original form of the body would be entrusted with the task.”
“I guess the fact that you know that fact itself is the answer.”
Virgil paused for a moment at Lennok’s question, then nodded.
“right. Those who are more sensitive than anyone to the weathering of human blood and flesh. The vampires did that job.”
“… … .”
“I don’t know where Kaise’s body is buried.”
Virgil’s red eyes shone brightly.
“The vampire who was in charge of preserving Kaise’s body. Go see the madam who has lived the longest in this city.”
