The drug-eating genius wizard episode 558

From the end of failure (5)

Lennok, who had reached an agreement with Innocence, immediately led the party and moved to another place.

Even though you can see the power plant in the distance, it is a downtown area that is somewhat free from searching for ghost ships.

said Lennok, magically projecting an image above the screen in a quiet movie theater.

“Currently, there are five superhuman forces cooperating with Kaise’s research at the particle power plant.”

Lennok tapped on the screen as he watched people sitting on any seat in the theater checking the equipment.

“Parden McQueen and Gileon Madrich Onion and Oliviera and Claude Azlan himself.”

“... ... .”

“I’ve dealt with the others once, so even if I skip it, I’ll only hear about Claude Azlan’s own hierarchy.”

“At the time, I was in a state where I had entered the war in an enlightened state and was consolidating my own inspiration in the real battle.”

Innocence, who was standing leaning on the seat right next to the aisle, answered quietly.

“At the end of the civil war, I already had a sense of it, and a month after the war ended, I transcended the hierarchy and reached the pinnacle.”

Felix and Ilya stuck out their tongues at the calm words of innocence.

“It is so easy to say that you have transcended the hierarchy... ... .”

“It’s a state where everyone can’t even reach the tips of their toes even if they spend their entire lives trying.”

His innocence was calm despite his words, which could not hide his admiration.

“Strictly speaking, at this point, it was not yet at the highest level. I felt the same way when I confronted him.”

Lennok, too, didn’t care, and asked again.

“If you participated in the operation, do you know how Kaise’s research ended at the time?”

“Unfortunately, I don’t know.”

Innocence shook his head.

“I just inspected the area around the power plant for a few days right after the civil war went into a lull. Unlike now, the research ended quietly, and the results were not communicated afterwards.”

“... ... .”

I knew what anomalies were happening in the closed area, but at the time, it was an incident that passed quietly, so I wonder if I did this arbitrarily.

Even if they did, innocence did not seem to know what conclusion Kaise had reached in the original timeline.

“Kaise is calling us out without even telling his friends what he found out.”

Lennok, who glanced at his phone in his arms, said.

“In order to completely stop the radiation exposure and return those who are tied to the past, it would be more efficient to borrow the power of the designer who led all the research.”

Looking at the listening party, Lennok snapped his finger.

“So we have to decide who gets to hold our feet against whom in this operation.”

“You mean you need to be selective and focused.”

This is not to say that all of this has not taken into account the possibility of a trap.

But if Kaise had intended to kill Lennok, why didn’t he try it the moment he guessed Lennok’s identity?

Even when secret messages were sent to Lennok through the firewall network.

Even when he summoned him to the cathedral and conveyed the message to Claude of the past.

There were countless opportunities, and Kaise knew it, but let it pass as if it meant nothing.

Like I really wanted to talk to him again and convey something to him instead of killing him.

‘Even when we first collided, Kaise’s attitude wasn’t that positive. As if observing and waiting for something... ... .’

It is not only because of the research on space-time fixation that this space-time, which is not reality, exists infinitely close to reality.

Establishing and maintaining the separated space-time in a form close to reality is the influence of something unrelated to Kaise’s will or power.

Perhaps it was because of the power of Alcaid, who collaborated with him, rather than Kaise himself.

‘He might have noticed it to some extent by now.’

If they had known that Kaise himself was a being from the past, he would have known that they could not exist with such independent thinking and power.

It is natural, then, to want to speak directly with Lennok rather than with his companions.

Because he vaguely recognized how far Kaise’s thoughts had reached, Lennok was thinking of following the message and entering the power plant once again.

“I will leave the judgment on the spot arbitrarily depending on the situation, but basically, I plan to make an entry order so that a different composition is created.”

Illya and Felix dealt with McQueen and Gileon respectively, but despite their outstanding abilities, they could not easily overcome them.

It is not simply that the two people lack skills or capabilities, but rather that the opponents who are difficult to distinguish superiority and inferiority in terms of ability were matched.

If so, it was necessary to forcibly change the composition and remake the board, even if it took some damage.

As Lennok said, he put the scene of the power plant on the screen, set the composition and time of entry, and set the route to break through.

“I will take the first entry. I am confident in taking my time and enduring it.”

“I’m aiming for the underground power room myself. I want to create a composition that is comfortable for Ban as much as possible.”

Felix and Illya, accustomed to this type of operation, also quickly set out to find something to do.

They do not hesitate to prioritize strategic judgment over individual burdens.

All of the superhumans gathered here are talented people close to aces in their respective organizations. Everyone is used to taking on responsibility.

“There are less than three hours until the time Kaise promised by message. We’ll start right away when we’re ready.”

Lennok, who finished the meeting in an instant, said that and left the theater rubbing his temples.

Due to having gone through a fierce battle, a considerable amount of mana and energy were consumed. A situation where Lennok, as well as the others, needs to prepare in his own way.

In this state, in order to raise your condition and rearm, you should take a break at least a little.

That moment when Lennok thought so, leaned back in an empty cinema cafe, closed his eyes, and tried to calm himself down.

“I guess I haven’t gone far.”

At the end of the hallway, he felt innocence follow him.

He approached Lennok with his hands behind his back and quietly put something down in front of the cafe table.

chin!

“It’s the two-in-one’s ball that we promised.”

He replied with a clouded expression of innocence.

“How to move the body with the mind. I said I would teach you myself. I’m sorry I couldn’t keep my promise.”

“... ... The two-in-one’s punishment? Is this what you mean?”

Lennok picked up the object that Innocence had dropped with a slight absurd expression.

What he said was a two-in-one ballot was not a simple booklet or scroll with information written on it.

What innocently put down was a small wooden statue in the shape of a soldier, as if it had just been carved.

Lennok’s eyes shone faintly as he carefully examined the wooden statue.

“Right. On the surface of the wooden box... ... .”

The surface of the unmanned wooden statue is densely engraved with extremely small letters that are difficult to see with Lennok’s naked eyes.

The number of characters engraved on the surface of the small wooden statue is immeasurable, just as if Buddhist sutras were engraved on a grain of rice with a needle stitch by stitch.

The letters engraved in this way rotated along the wooden statue, drawing a beautiful picture on the body of the warrior.

[I leave this phrase in order to break through the wall of martial arts through mental study.]

The moment Gyeolbaek said that, the wooden statue Lennok was holding slowly moved and changed its posture.

hard... ... !!

“... ... !!”

The figure of the warrior who had been holding his palms changed to a posture with his arms and legs spread at an angle as if he were about to start sparring.

“If you recite the phrase engraved on the wooden statue, the movements are supposed to change accordingly.”

Innocence explained.

“It is the best way to show the process of reconstructing the body according to a specific intention. It is a type of ancient artifact used when leaving a secret in the main text.”

“It’s a relic... ... .”

Lennox replied and nodded slowly.

An object made to record the rules of martial arts and visually recognize how to move through them.

Gyeolbaek was immersed in holding onto the wooden statue for the rest of his time and writing the two-in-law’s sentences on the surface.

“Because the domain of Mangnyangsaehan is canceled as soon as he leaves. As long as we maintain this posture, there will be no coming down from the ship.”

“Right. Now, it seems that there is virtually no option but to wait on site.”

For a mage with abilities comparable to that of Oliviera, it would be no task to hide her presence from this side’s pursuit.

Even more so, this side is in a situation where you can’t move even if the operation area is discovered.

Whether the opposing side reinforces their strength or changes the direction of the attack, they have no choice but to respond passively.

Claude, who was looking at the ship with a curious expression, asked in a passing tone.

“Come to think of it, what does a wizard look like?”

“He is a man with black hair and a sharp impression. He carries a waving, thin staff and wears a black coat like a shadow.”

“... ... what?”

“I am teaming up with a bird-headed giant and a woman who handles spears. It would be convenient to show it in person.”

McQueen was answering Claude’s questions one by one, even though he seemed to be bothered.

Although his insensitive attitude bothers him, Claude is the only one with physical abilities along with Gileon, and among the dogs, he is the most specialized spearman.

It is worth explaining the situation even if it is somewhat belatedly as it is clear that there is a person who can do their part in any battlefield.

That moment when McQueen said that and recalled the images of Lennok and Felix Illya from his memory and showed them as an image.

“... ... .”

Claude’s face hardened.

“The bird-headed giant uses a battle hammer and emits strange powers. The woman who uses the spear can remotely manipulate it using her super-vibration ability... ... hmm?”

McQueen thought Claude’s reaction was strange, but he stopped talking after explaining about them in turn.

Claude, who was listening to the explanation, turned his head around.

“Why? I’d love to hear more clarifications right now. please.”

“... ... No, more than that, I felt a sense of incongruity somewhere... ... .”

A rare figure of an apostate monk tilting his head with his eyebrows furrowed.

This is a rare reaction for this monk who, though somewhat harsh and stern, is not prone to panic or agitation.

“A sign of an intruder? Just give me the direction and I’ll take care of it and come back.”

The moment Claude picked up the spear and raised his mana, McQueen frowned.

“Yes, that magic. An image similar to you, but terribly twisted... ... .”

“What are you talking about?”

“Like being thrown this way from thousands of meters-”

A wedge... ... !!

At that moment, from the other side of the power plant’s cloudy sky, a flash of white light slanted downward toward the ground.

The white light that fell in a faint spiral sprinted for the power plant and accurately penetrated the keel of the ghost ship that stood in the way.

Kwaaaaaang!!!

A circular shockwave that explodes from the target area. The ghost ship floating above the power plant swayed violently and spewed out fog.

“... ... !!!!”

The attack started suddenly. Even more so, it was a powerful bombardment that could damage the Madrich Onion’s ghost ship.

A terrifying idea that was completely different from the abilities of the intruders they had talked about so far.

Claude opened his mouth slightly and McQueen jumped up from his seat with his eyes wide open.

“You have to inform the president. Another monster has joined us... ... !!”

The moment McQueen muttered that and tried to contact the inside of the power plant using magical communication.

Taaaaang!!

The inside of his raised wrist was crushed and blood was sprayed all over the muscle.

A low gunshot that comes late only after the wrist is completely shattered.

“... ... !!!”

Claude stretched out his hand toward McQueen’s head, who couldn’t even scream.

Awesome!!

Crott stuck out his tongue after hitting the second bullet that was aimed at McQueen’s head.

“Looks like you’re knocking out a bunch of shells. Such a stealthy yet powerful sniping is an incredible shooting ability.”

“Are two different sniper abilities attacking this side... ... !!”

A situation where nothing is caught in the search radius, but this side is allowing an attack unilaterally.

No, it wasn’t just because of that.

The presence of Baek-gwang, which was aimed at the ghost ship for the first time, was more than expected, so it was deprived of attention.

A sneaky yet deadly second sniping shot taking advantage of that overwhelming pure white will.

All these series of flows were thoroughly planned and connected.

Realizing that in an instant, McQueen turned his head away.

“Go to Claude Azlan Kaise!!”

“... ... Are you okay?”

“The other party is interfering with our communications. I don’t know why, but if the other person doesn’t want it, I have to force it.”

Drenched in pain and sweating profusely, McQueen tore his clothes and tied his wrists to stop the bleeding.

“I will take responsibility and spend time with Onion. You should tell Kaise about this right now... ... !!”

It didn’t happen that McQueen’s words continued to the end.

After a brief interval, the second white light flashed across the sky, this time accurately penetrating the power transmission tower and exploding.

Kwaaaaa!!!

An explosion filled with white magic wrapped around the power transmission tower and burned everything as it was.

* * *

A transmission tower collapsing along with the screaming summoner Arjumarta’s new model.

“It’s okay.”

Using the sniper scope of his sniper rifle sightglass-992, Lennok nodded.

“Confirmed that target points 1 and 2 hit. We will start entering the operational area from now on.”

-Confirmed.

-I’m ready.

Felix and Illya’s calm reply.

Lennok did not wait for an answer of innocence, but continued immediately.

“Rather than directly targeting the inside of the power plant, the focus is on breaking down the external boundaries. Repeat the bombardment towards the target point number 1.”

-... ... Got it.

A dry plain several kilometers away from the power plant.

Innocence, who had dozens of window poles made from broken street lamps and put them up all over the plain, picked up one of them and inspired his will.

I’m going to have a good time... ... !!

The white magic that flowed through the innocent hands covered the metal spearhead and rotated in a spiral.

The form of a spearhead twisting, unable to overcome the extremely dense flow of magical power.

But Gyeol-seok looked down at the metal spear pole before it was completely destroyed, lightly stretched one foot forward and twisted his shoulder.

Kwajik!!

With the noise of joints twisting and grinding, the innocent right arm rotates as if disappearing from the spot.

The shape of a white spearhead rising beyond the dark clouds after swimming on the ground with a faint shock wave bursting through the fingertips.

Aaaaaang!!

The third white light, twisting through the pier outside the power plant, penetrated the ghost ship once more and exploded with a tremendous roar.

Innocent eyes swaying through gray hair looked up at the shape of a staggering ship in the distance.

Above the shaking ship, an old man who appears like fog looks down at him with a stern gaze.

The moment when the two monsters, who had risen to level 8 and transcended the hierarchy, recognized each other’s existence by jumping thousands of meters.

“Let’s start.”

Lennok climbed onto the bike and pulled the throttle without hesitation.
