Drug-Eating Genius Mage - Chapter 643
Genius Magician Who Eats Medicine Episode 643
Makina Martial Law (3)
Slapping… … !!
A stormy beach. A secluded beach in the dingy rain.
A sandy beach where the waves rise several meters close and stir and constantly beat and cut away the bedrock in all directions.
A half-shattered metal body lay there, half-buried in the sand.
The metal body, covered in rain and sand, stirred faintly and slowly began to open on one side.
click!
“Cool!!”
Someone who opened the door of the probe and walked out coughed up water and collapsed on the sandy beach.
I pressed the button on the helmet I was wearing with difficulty with my hand, which I could barely feel.
[Decompression processing 86%]
[Insufficient remaining power. Another 5 seconds to stop functioning]
Profit… … !!
The disassembled helmet split from the back of his neck and Lennok slammed his head into the ground.
The complexion sunk into a dingy shade because it was not pale. Without even thinking about spitting out the sea water that wets his mouth, he just inhaled quickly.
“Whoa… … !!”
I barely lifted my finger, connected the magician to the bedrock, and slowly pulled my body.
Sliding out of the waves, Lennok rolled over on his back in the sand.
I drink in my mouth the rainwater that pours through the hazy sky with dark clouds.
[Now Master.]
Dabi crawled out of Lennok’s arms and poured the potion into her mouth with her front paws.
Lennok, who had received and swallowed the potion mixed with rainwater, snapped his fingers again, and the suit he was wearing cracked open, revealing his overalls.
Lennok murmured as he leaned between the rocks in his drenched overalls.
“I thought it wouldn’t be easy, but… … .”
In the process of escaping from being surrounded by the navy, he forced himself to rise again and again, and if he made a mistake, his whole body would explode and he would almost die.
It was difficult to withstand the recoil even with the anti-pressure suit prepared in advance and the presence of dozens of layers of protective magic.
Nevertheless, the reason why Lennok was able to shake off the 12th Fleet and Triton that were pursuing him and escape to an unknown sea area.
‘It would have been really dangerous without the ring.’
Thinking so, Lennok stared blankly at the ring on his left index finger.
Hanghasa Labyrinth. Feigenbaum’s Pupil, one of the two artifacts from the Cradle of Jindun.
The ability is originally to give the user the power to observe the imaginary dimension with the naked eye, but there is one more hidden ability.
By overloading the ring’s power, it temporarily forcibly transports the wearer to the imaginary dimension for 0.75 seconds.
It is not a function originally intended, but it is a function close to a side effect of simply looking deeply into the imaginary dimension and allowing the user to enter it.
Lennok knew that this ability, if used well, could be used to temporarily evade any attack.
The water pressure inside the probe fluctuates like crazy and Lennok temporarily enters the imaginary dimension by overloading the ring just before it is destroyed.
Right after that, he threw away all the load and recoil from the probe and returned to reality.
In terms of time, it was only 0.75 seconds, a gap close to an instant.
Even more so, considering the need to overload the ring’s ability in advance, it is extremely difficult to get the timing right.
However, Lennok quickly analyzed the route Darby set while running away between the navy’s pursuit and torpedoes.
Aiming for the moment when the water pressure passes the most extreme inflection point, he accurately evacuated his body to the imaginary dimension.
I was confident of succeeding, but if it failed, the probe and Lennok wouldn’t be fine.
In preparation for the worst case scenario, several lifelines were made, but Feigenbaum’s pupils were quite low priority among them.
‘It will be difficult to use the power of the ring for the time being. It’s getting harder to charge the blink… … .’
After using the ability to temporarily evacuate the user to the imaginary dimension, the ring cannot be used for a month.
A side effect of forcibly increasing the function itself and overloading it.
The problem was that Lennok was using the power of the ring to store his blink spell in Papyrus Argenteus.
Although the blinking technique itself was chanted and used by Lennok himself, the amount of mana consumed was so great that he memorized it in his artifact whenever he had time.
Although there are blink spells left, the risk is that you can no longer charge blink for the time being.
Looking back on the last time he used the power of the ring, Lennok recalled the Ten Apostles Amrita and laughed.
“… … Even back then, we fought by counting halfway through blinking.”
With the body of an apostle and the foresight of a priestess, the 10 apostles, who used super-speed space combat, were one of the most difficult opponents in terms of combat skills.
It was to the point that Lennok learned a lot from being beaten with her bare body on her space combat skills and tricks.
After that, Lennok sat still in the rain and wind until the medicine took effect, then slowly rose from his seat.
With his wobbly legs, he cleaned up the suit and probe and other traces, and neatly erased the remaining magic power and presence.
There were no abnormalities until the condition was checked, so it seemed that he was not being pursued, but he should have erased any traces.
Lennok stood up after dabbing his still tingling body with painkillers and walked out along the shore.
Lennok, stepping onto the stormy asphalt, raised his gaze as he stood on top of the empty car.
“Do you know where Darby is?”
[that is… … The location coordinates are not properly set.]
Darby answered with a puzzled expression.
[There are four reference points that are used as reference points to calculate the relative coordinates inside the Machine City, and the data itself is completely twisted.] “
… … .”
[Perhaps there was a momentary error in the coordinate calculation system or city network… … .]
Lennok quietly listened to Darby’s words, then quietly moved on.
There are no people and only cold rain and wind blows in the commercial district and the downtown area with many shops and accommodations lined up along the coast.
The chilly desolation and eerie silence, as if Lennok was left alone in the middle of the city.
Even Darby quietly held his breath in that unusual atmosphere.
[Is it a trap?]
If the reason why the Navy didn’t pursue it wasn’t because they missed Lennok, it was to force them into this area.
And if he had prepared a plan in advance to completely subdue Lenok by encircling it here.
An innumerable bombardment of missiles may immediately pour over the wall and turn this city into a sea of fire.
But Lennok shook his head faintly at Darby’s words.
“At first, I thought of that possibility first, but… … Probably not.”
Lennok, who entered the nearby shop, inspected the small room inside.
“There are traces of someone living there. Even the bowl is still warm. Not too long ago, there were people.”
Clothing hastily messed up here and there and traces of leftover food on the table.
Lennok’s eyes scanned the surroundings calmly as he ran his fingers through the bowl.
“Compared to the hastily messed up clothes, there are no traces of valuables in the room. The checkout counter that should have cash in it is also empty. There is a high possibility that he packed only the important things and left this place right away.”
[It means that the people in this town heard the news in advance and evacuated.] It
was less than 20 minutes after Lennok decided to escape by taking an escape route to this area.
Judging from various visible circumstances, the evacuation order issued on this street was 45 minutes ago, no matter how short it is.
If so, the possibility that it was a trap that lured Lennok here is greatly reduced.
“45 minutes before the evacuation order was issued. As soon as the order is given, everyone in the area is serious enough to evacuate immediately… … . When I think of the time… … .”
Lennok’s eyes shone sharply as he looked back on the time he felt.
“Right after I escaped the sea barrier.”
[If the master noticed the abnormality as soon as he escaped the barrier and sent a signal, it must be the right time.]
Darby said in a slightly hasty tone.
[But if that’s the case, wouldn’t the evacuation order itself have been given out to be wary of the Master’s existence… … .]
“No, that’s not it… … .”
Saying that, Lennok slowly closed his eyes and began to increase his mana.
woo woo woo… … !!
Through the forcibly stabilized condition by borrowing the power of medicine, it forcibly suppresses the mana that is still rampaging.
Cognitive abilities amplified through magic transcend the limits of the five senses and unfold in all directions.
It swept across the space like a rocking wave, and in an instant looked out at all the scenes thousands of meters away as if it were my own.
“The sea barrier was opened when we escaped. I thought the commander of the mechanized corps opened the barrier himself to track me, but… … That wasn’t it.”
Lennok murmured.
“The conditions necessary for the seawall to open were already being met above this city.”
[master… … ?]
Darby, who finally realized the meaning of Lenok’s words, poked her head out of her arms.
The faint vibration felt from the tips of my toes quickly grew in size and turned into a huge earthquake.
Deed deed deed… … !!!
As the ground thousands of meters away stood up vertically, it approached as a huge wave as if to hit Lennok.
The change is so bizarre that even seeing it with two eyes makes it seem as if the ground itself is bent and rotated at right angles.
Kwurreung!!
As the asphalt split under my feet, a huge crack appeared between them and began to swallow everything in all directions.
A huge mechanical barrier waving in the distance rose vertically and ran across the ground.
Guguaguagua!!!
The appearance of all the surrounding scenery not standing still for a moment, but moving and changing positions in a turbulent way.
It’s not just happening on this street.
The whole city, within a radius of thousands of meters that Lennok could sense, was flipped upside down and upside down, left and right, and regardless of direction and location.
“I think you know what Hermes did as soon as he woke up in his new body… … .”
Kwaaaang!!
Lennok murmured as he watched the waves of the giant mechanical barrier approaching like a tidal wave as he fell like a tumble in the distance.
“The schedule for the division of Machine City, which should have been carried out every quarter, was completely twisted. The whole city will be thrown into chaos.”
* * *
Deaf!!
The mechanical barriers that rose to a height of several tens of meters and blocked each compartment rotated violently.
The heavens and the earth vibrated as the huge metal mass rotated and moved, unable to withstand its weight.
An overwhelming yet heterogeneous landscape, as if the steel mountain ranges were running across the ground without hesitation.
There is not one barrier that rotates and moves in all directions, but dozens of visible barriers.
All the districts assigned to each location in the city are moving in unison and changing places in perfect order.
Cuguaguagua!!!
Lennok, who avoided the mechanical barriers that came in front of him, immediately got on his bike.
Buaang!!
Run over the sliding barrier at an angle and quickly get out of the area where the shoreline was located.
As soon as you cross the barrier, what you see is a garden of innumerable moving parts exposing a giant cogwheel.
All kinds of buildings and public facilities were moved and reversed their location and direction.
drooling!!
The ground tilts vertically and the building flips upside down, as if an invisible hand is moving a giant block at will.
It is difficult to balance and balance among the mechanical barriers and block blocks that come and go from all directions at high speed.
However, Lennok rode his bike and quickly jumped between the buildings and parts floating in the air.
“In terms of time, Mouser would have already returned to the upper workshops.”
Lenock said, raising the horse power detection even more while entrusting the operation to Darby’s automatic driving algorithm.
“Since the coordinates inside the city are completely distorted, we must move until we detect the presence of Mouser with magic detection.”
If Mouser returned to the workshop, tracking his life reaction would be the fastest way to return to the workshop.
Darby, who was operating the bike on behalf of Lennok, asked.
[Is it okay if we don’t have to track down Hermes right away?]
“The fact that the entire city was overturned by forcibly advancing the schedule for relocation is proof that Hermes wants to hide his location.”
Lennok answered right away.
“Mouser is one of the very few people involved who has lived in this city for a long time and has been through everything from exclusive workshops to low-level workshops. If you’re going to find the way, it’s probably quickest to ask him.”
In addition to that, there are still unfinished work in the studio.
All remaining preparations must be completed before Hermes can complete his plan and manifest himself as the Ascendant.
“… … found.”
Spreading the sense of magic far and wide to the limit, skipping the rapidly waving barriers and recognizing a familiar life response.
An advanced workshop area where Lennok’s workshop is located.
This side is also cluttered due to the movement of divisions between cities, but the original form itself is still preserved.
If I had to say something unusual, would it be that the building in the workshop moves neatly into blocks without collapsing?
You have to catch up with the moving speed of the workshop quickly before it goes any farther.
The moment Lennok thought so and tried to speed up his bike.
Wedge liquid!!
A faint flash of light flashed in the distance, and then it sped away at a terrifying speed and crashed into the place where the bike had been.
Quaang!!
The expansive dormitory quarters flash by quickly, upside down overhead.
[Infiltrate Shim Seong-gwan on the sea barrier and confirm Meister’s assassination suspect.]
Dozens of side squad agents hanging upside down on top of the building, seemingly covered in shadows, glared at Lennok.
[I’m going to start tracking now… … .]
“No.”
Lennok, who cut off the conversation through the Side Squad agent’s network, raised his hand.
“There will be no reason to keep things in your hands from now on.”
If Hermes was involved in the assassination of Narcissa Solmer, the Side Squad that assisted him would also be in league with him.
At the same time as attaching hundreds of strands of magic thread to the earth block, Darby connects the will.
The moment the lifted hand turned half a turn, the block of the residential district where the agents were riding turned half a turn and changed direction.
gurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
[…] … !!!]
A sudden change between dozens of earth blocks moving in perfect order.
Deviations occur between blocks that need to be thoroughly planned and moved, and the movement lines begin to diverge and overlap.
The shape of another block rising from the bottom at high speed before the Side Squad agents could be agitated by the suddenly changed direction of the block.
Blocks of park districts with dense forests and public facilities rise at a tremendous speed without a bird to avoid.
Collision between medium-sized districts surrounded by mechanical barriers.
Before the Side Squad agents, who belatedly realized the extent of the aftermath, made every effort to escape the residential district.
“bang.”
As Lennok clapped his hands, both earth blocks collided head-on.
A huge shockwave exploded in the middle of the rapidly changing machine city.
Aaaaaaaaa!!!
[Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaak!!]
The side squad agents who were fleeing are swept away by the shock wave that exploded in the aftermath of the two areas of Machine City itself colliding.
Agents who were crushed between trees and building debris screamed desperately, and sticky blood flowed through the crushed suits.
It was such a shock that the communication network itself was paralyzed and locked with screams and moans.
One of the agents stuttered and muttered in disbelief.
[Nonsense… … . Unless it’s an Ex Machina, how can you gain control over the mobile earth… … !!]
“It is not difficult to briefly manipulate the administrative authority while the entire city is undergoing a cataclysmic change.”
Lennok replied as he looked at the two districts colliding and being crushed.
The authority within the city is dispersed by the divisional movement, and the authority to operate the movement of the corresponding district is seized in an instant by breaking through the gaps in the weak security barriers.
All the earth blocks moving at high speed in this area are already uninhabited by the residents.
That’s why, the moment Lennok identified the Side Squad agents, he used the city’s landmarks as weapons and crushed them.
“It is enough to cause an error in the angle and direction values entered in advance.
[Ahhh… … !!]
Agents moaned in despair as they saw another no-man’s-land block falling overhead.
“If you want to catch me, you’ll have to deal with the whole area yourself.”
