Drug-Eating Genius Mage - Chapter 88

Containment (1)

Lennok also cast a floating magic on his shoes and threw himself downward.

Kwaaaaang!!

A spacious hallway that you can see as soon as you land on the dark floor.

Unlike the shabby scenery on the ground, the hallway inside the crack was neatly trimmed and the walls were built solid with iron plates.

Even at a glance, you can tell that this place is an artificially created facility.

Lennok nodded at the trace of the deep-sounding magic that he felt as soon as he descended.

‘Looks like they put a barrier between the upper and lower levels to prevent magic from leaking out.’

Looking at the corpses lying around with burns, it seems that they were probably hit by Lennok’s fireball while defending the entrance to the main base… but there was no time to be immersed in

thought.

Doo doo doo doo!!!

After confirming that the intruders had entered the basement through a huge crack in the road, members of the Falchion immediately began pouring bullets at them.

“What the fuck!!”

Even if you are a superhuman who can strengthen your body with magical powers, if you are exposed to bullets naked, you will inevitably suffer damage.

However, as if proving that there were people with their own experience, the freelancers around Lenok quickly smashed the nearby walls and floors to create their own cover and started avoiding bullets.

“Come in half this way!!”

“There is no need for that.”

Pajijijijik!!

[Thunder Flower]

The ball of lightning thrown into the air by Lennok sweeps through the underground corridor and shoots forward at once.

The mass of lightning that stopped in front of the crossroads of the hallway branching in three directions started to bloom in blue current as it rotated on the spot.

Deed Deuk!!

Aaaaaaang!!

“Aaaaagh!!”

“The magician is with you!! It wasn’t a bomb!”

“It seems that no one with magical powers has appeared over there yet.”

Everyone was convinced by what Chen muttered.

Those who deal with magical powers would not even think about thinking that Lennok’s fireball was a bomb even after seeing it.

Hina said as she put her hand on the long sword hanging from her waist.

“I clean up quickly and dig inside. The goal is to locate Ordis and Craig in Zaun. Immediately after that, we will clear the road so that the second group, including Cheisha, can enter.”

There is no reason to wait quietly now that the attacks on both sides are in a lull with [Thunder Flower].

Chow!!

“Aagh!!”

“He’s a magic user!! Ask for support!”

Hina, who pulled out a longsword from her waist, jumped down the hallway with the 1st squad and wiped out the remaining members of the Falchion.

A strange and terrifying flash of light, completely different from anything that had been sluggish before, roared through the dark cellar.

At the same time as the distance increases, the voice begins to be heard through the earphones.

[The purpose is to find the target as much as possible by dividing the forces of the 1st and 2nd divisions. The 3rd and 4th divisions will deal with the members escaping outside, so leave them alone and focus on digging into the main base. Then let’s go!]

Chen’s tone was calm, yet fast and orderly enough for listeners to understand at once.

A talent that can moderately elevate people is a talent that is more rare than the combat power of a mere superhuman.

Even in this chaotic situation, he was showing his leadership skills without regret.

Although they had already shared the details of the operation beforehand, Lennok was well aware of how important it was to ventilate them mid-flight before they were swept away by the excitement of battle and forgot their original goal.

Following Chen’s words, the freelancers formed groups of three or four and immediately began to leave one by one whenever the road diverged.

Lenok and Hina, who confirmed their appearance, also chose one side of the hallway and walked down.

Watching them disappear across the corridor one by one, Lennok put his earphones on and opened his mouth.

“Find a way down underground as much as possible, check places where people gather, and get out. Do not fight in useless places.”

As a result of confirming through magic detection, Falchion’s main base consists of dozens of narrow corridors extending like an ant’s nest, except for the huge underground cavity located at the bottom.

‘It’s an ant nest, so I can guess why.’

A structure that can build an underground space by making the most of scarce resources.

In addition, it has the additional effect of making the intruders get lost and wandering while making hit-and-run guerrilla warfare easier for members who are accustomed to the layout of the main base’s corridors.

It is an optimized structure for a terrorist organization that does not know when to relocate due to an attack on its headquarters, as it is now.

While Lennok stretches out his magic sense, he continues to focus his mind on the location of Zaun Ordis and Craig.

From afar, I felt a clear sign of magical power approaching this place quickly through the hallway.

Awesome!

“Keugh!!”

“Enemy!!”

“Cut the blade.

In an instant, blood spurts from the shoulders of the two freelancers who were moving with Lennok, and one of them jumps into the air with his head severed.

The remaining three quickly gathered around Lennok, but were helpless by the flashes of light that bounced off the walls and ceiling of the hallway.

“…….”

Lennok frowned and studied the movement closely.

ride on it!!

Five leaps that shoot across the ceiling and the hallway floor.

Each step on the step foot accelerates rather than slows down.

The moment the flash of light ran three more times and turned its head upside down, not paying attention to the direction or reaction.

Someone with a sharp blade landed right behind Lennok.

“half!!”

Kwaaaaang!!

As if he had waited, Lennok cast reverse gravity magic on the spot and struck shock magic on both sides to create a huge wave, but the man holding the sword managed to get out of the gap and rush towards Lennok.

Lennok pulled up his shield and pulled out his revolver, but the swordsman twisted his knee and changed direction in an instant as if he had waited for that moment.

‘This…!’

Only then did Lennok, who realized the man’s intentions, slightly frown, but the remaining freelancers were already dead.

Lennok murmured as he stared at the swordsman slowly widening his distance.

“You didn’t intend to target me from the start.”

“I was waiting for the day we would meet again.”

A muttering swordsman calmly gripping his sword.

The night we met at the Trade Center.

He was the one who ran away with the encryption key while wiping tears over the wizard.

Lennok checked to see if the effect of Feather Fall was working well on his body and slowly raised his mana.

“My running skills have improved since then. Do you have any special tips?”

It is said that he took full advantage of the limited environment of the narrow hallway and killed the other Freelancers alone except for Lennok, but that movement was completely different from what Lennok remembered.

If the speed the swordsman showed at the trade center had been that fast, the battle that took place at that time wouldn’t have ended so quickly.

At Lennok’s words, the prosecutor was silent before speaking.

“How did Devon die?”

“Devon? Are you talking about that wizard?”

“…..okay.”

“It’s a very close friendship.”

“say!!”

“Like you kidnapped and sold. I cut open the stomach, twisted the intestines, and sold all the organs.”

Lennok smiled faintly as he let out a puff of smoke.

“no way. Did you even expect a comfortable death while being loyal to a terrorist organization?”

“Lee Yii Ik…!!”

The prosecutor’s eyes turned black, and the veins near his face began to rise thickly.

At the same time, Lennok raised his eyebrows as he sensed an abnormal explosion of mana radiating from his body.

‘Doping…..’

I had seen a phenomenon similar to this somewhere.

An operation to recapture a building occupied by scavengers with Dray Krimgal.

The scavenger branch manager of District 50, whom we met there. Didn’t an executive who was a retired soldier use drugs to have a similar effect to this?

Considering that it was a doping drug using black magic back then, the current prosecutor must have used a similar method.

Considering that they teamed up with Craig, a practical black magician, it’s not strange.

In addition, that abnormally increased agility can also be explained in conjunction with him.

The moment Lennok thought so, he was about to strike the ground with the electric current he drew from between his fingers.

The swordsman’s body disappeared right in front of his eyes.

Whoop!!

“…….!!”

I couldn’t catch up with the naked eye, but it was so fast that Lennok, who was watching the movement, flinched.

Kaaaaa!!

The swordsman’s blade, which reached Lennok’s eyes in an instant, pierced the shield and quickly slashed at Lennok’s neck.

[Upper Ground]

Lennok took a step back and raised the ground beneath the swordsman’s feet, quickly deflecting the blade into the air.

Awesome!!

Corridors made of iron plates are being cut indiscriminately, and metal fragments fall from the ceiling.

Lennok stretched out his hand toward the rain of iron fragments flying overhead and immediately cast his magic.

[Magnetic control]

[Metal tempo]

Chill!!

It grabs the metal pieces that had just fallen from the air and scatters them as they are.

Like an invisible hand sowing seeds, the fragments scattered into the air flashed and filled the hallway in an instant.

Lennok’s electricity pierced through the gap.

[Chain Lightning]

Pajijijik!!!!

Resonance between metal and lightning.

The flow of electricity, which was originally divided into dozens of branches, rides on small pieces of metal and turns into a dense web of electricity with hundreds of branches.

No matter how fast the swordsman moved, there was no way he could avoid this attack unless he shortened his body to less than a fingernail.

Or, if he had honed his magic manipulation ability beyond just handling a sword, he wouldn’t have borrowed the power of medicine if he didn’t know what to do or if he had that level of skill.

Fall out!!

“Kahaak..!!”

The way he uses magic is no different from before, but its power is vastly different from when Lennok first learned Chain Lightning.

The swordsman, who was surrounded by a net of lightning and his entire body was burned by the enormous firepower, convulsed like crazy and twisted his body.

“At this rate!!”

Judging by the expression on her face, she didn’t seem to feel much pain due to the effects of the medicine, but there was nothing she could do about the load on her body.

I forcibly swung my arm, which did not move at will, and somehow threw the sword in my hand at Lennok.

Caan!!

Lennok, who grabbed the sword in the air and grabbed the telekinetic power of the sword that had bounced off the shield without even penetrating a single layer, grabbed the handle and walked toward the swordsman.

He looked down at the fallen swordsman while bleeding all over his body and raised his sword in silence.

Accepting those hateful eyes as they were, he slashed the blade.

The swordsman, whose entire body was in tatters, could not resist at all and allowed his weapon to the center of his heart.

Fu-wook!

“Keep… ugh!”

The eyes of the prosecutor, who had been glaring at Lennok until the end while trembling with a thick moan, slowly blurred.

Black protruding eyeballs. Veins protruding all over the face.

At that speed, I could have done as much as I could to escape.

It must have been his choice to meet his end here.

Then Lennok had no regrets either.

He just walks forward again, leaving only the feelings he was trying to cherish.

“………”

Lennok, who was about to leave, put the pieces of metal he had just used to subdue the prosecutor into his coat pocket.

Feeling the growing power of negative energy, Lennok continued to walk deeper underground.

Through mana sensing, I feel the rapidly diminishing vitality response.

It was an operation that could not be dragged on for a long time from the beginning and should not be dragged on.
