Genius Magician Who Eats Medicine Episode 713
Burglary (6)
The outskirts of the central front. Dead Rise’s rear supply unit.
A few days before the start of the satellite building operation.
With less than a day left before leaving for the Balkans, Stockton returned to the unit and made an appointment to meet someone.
“Damus.”
“Come. Sit down.”
In a dark room where the screen glows softly.
Damus pointed to a chair without looking back at Stockton.
When Stockton nodded expressionlessly and sat down, he finally put down the papers he was holding and turned around.
Damus asked, rubbing his forehead with a tired expression.
“Were you waiting for me to come earlier? You’d better get some rest.”
“There is not much to enjoy before going out. Nothing to worry about.”
When Stockton answered calmly, Damus smiled.
“They said he was the most diligent under Grease, but that’s what the rumors say.”
“On the contrary, I think it is very rare for the commander to come to the rear.”
Stockton’s eyes lit up.
“Did something happen to the headquarters?”
Damus is one of the busiest field commanders in the entire Dead Rise unit.
Even on the central front, he commands the special mobile 6th corps, which has the highest maintenance cost, so he rarely shows his face in the rear.
The fact that this meeting took place today was only possible because Damus was in the rear before the start of the operation.
It’s good that Stockton can get information from an experienced commander before being dispatched to the Balkans in earnest.
The fact that Damus is now in the rear isn’t a very positive sign.
But at Stockton’s question, Damus shook his head.
“... ... Let it be for personal reasons. There is someone I need to meet separately.”
“If it’s someone you need to meet-”
“It’s nonsensical, so let’s move on to the main topic. You didn’t come to me to ask about that, did you?”
Damus said that and pressed the remote control button.
At the same time, the screen turned on and someone’s profile began to appear.
“Originally, the Balkans are not under my jurisdiction, but I recently had an opportunity to obtain information about risk factors that exist outside the front lines.”
Damus said that and turned his gaze to the screen.
“There are many variables that exist all over the place. But if I were to pick the most dangerous and unpredictable of them all, this one would be at the forefront.”
Beep!
It is said to be someone’s profile, but there are not many things written in that profile column.
An empty space without a picture. Several characters written in the ciphertext are also left blank.
Rather, there is only something written in the special notes at the bottom.
“fastness. That’s all we know about the most belligerent mage in the Balkans right now.”
Damus looked at it and explained.
“Excluding information that cannot be verified, such as name, birth and age, the special notes that have been filed through cross-validation are as follows.”
Damus said, pointing straight to the specialty section at the bottom of his profile.
“A pure-form magician. Combat-specialized lightning system user. An extremely rare multi-attribute holder. A level 8 superpower. A congenital possessor of magical eyes.”
“Um... ... .”
A series of words that take your breath away just by hearing them.
It’s just that each and every word that modifies that magician has invaluable value on the battlefield.
Damus’s words did not end there.
“He is well versed in marksmanship and is known for his ability to operate equipment including bikes. Beyond the level of not being averse to advanced technology, it is also estimated that he handles that area better than experts.”
“... ... .”
“But the real value of fastness is not in such secondary abilities or talents.”
Damus said to Stockton, who stared at the screen without blinking.
“Although there have been attempts to find out about the magic system of fastness, very few people have obtained accurate information. Because there are extremely few survivors of the operation involved, the level of leaked information is also inconsistent.”
“... ... .”
“If you look at his achievements and achievements over the past few years, you can only guess that he is terribly engrossed in battle... ... It is difficult to determine the intentions of the people who have been with and dealt with because they all have different origins and tendencies.”
Damus continued by turning the remote control.
“He is a person whose personality and motives are so unpredictable that he caused such an uproar even after suffering a major injury in Makina. If possible, avoid contact as much as possible and avoid stimulation.”
“What should I do if I encounter an encounter during an operation?”
Stockton knows, too, that it is best to avoid encountering fastids if at all possible.
However, as this operation itself is conducted in Area 59, which corresponds to the shadowy area, it is self-evident that it cannot escape the activity radius of the dog.
It wouldn’t be strange if the wizard, who couldn’t read their actions and thoughts, noticed them and moved.
When you run into a dog, you need a means or a countermeasure to deal with him and get out safely.
But Damus looked at Stockton blankly and asked.
“lieutenant colonel. What do you think it means for an 8th-level archmage to live with rumors that he’s crazy about blood?”
“... ... I don’t understand your question.”
“Based on a mentality devoted to battle and blood, at the point of transcending the hierarchy, he is already close to a madman who has no room for rebirth.”
Damus looked away.
“Therefore, the possibility of a normal conversation being established when encountering a dog is extremely low. Even if communication takes place, the meaning he accepts will be completely different.”
Stockton, who belatedly understood the words, stuck out his tongue.
“It’s not at the level of being the same human being. Are you still alive in that demonic realm with that much mentality?”
“He is a person who transcends the hierarchy by living intact despite violating the principles of the world, which are incompatible with each other.”
Damus replied nonchalantly.
“If he is still alive after making enemies of all sorts of monsters and geniuses, isn’t it because he has a talent that transcends mutual interests?”
“... ... .”
Stockton’s reaction, swallowing a low breath.
So Damus has crazy fastness, is it neat, but on the contrary, is he valuing it highly?
Damus turned off the screen, leaving Stockton with a slightly flustered expression.
“I’ll send you profiles of high-ranking superhumans operating in the shadows of the Balkans, including Kung-roe. So that I can share it with Greeceburn later. I won’t even read it anyway.”
“thank you.”
Damus looked down at Stockton, who lowered his head, with an expressionless gaze.
“It’s great to be prepared for variables, but don’t mistake your priorities.”
“no.”
Lennok laughed and shook his head at Duren’s reaction when he cut off his words in a sharp tone.
“That’s why I had several chances to kill you, but I didn’t.”
“... ... !!”
“I thought it would be a disaster if I couldn’t catch the location of the factory in time because the surrounding wide-angle lens was twisted due to the runaway mirage technique.”
“What arrogance is that... ... !!”
“therefore.”
Lennok raised his left hand and pointed at Duren.
“I will not allow the magnetic field. I have no desire to see the mirage again.”
Chareuk!!
At the same time as the bandage tied to the forearm was undone, a wave of red light penetrated space-time.
It wasn’t just the burning heat, but the shape of a living flame tied to its arm.
The moment of astonishment on Duren’s face when he realized that the form had changed, but it was the true body of the Phoenix Hall he had been searching for so long.
Roaring!!
The achromatic waves that were spinning under Duren’s feet soon stopped moving and were sucked into the rosary.
“What is this!!”
The recoil of having the domain expansion chant canceled forcibly by someone else’s will runs through the whole body.
The blood in his whole body was turned upside down, his blood pressure and magic rotation increased rapidly, and blood spurted out from his pores.
“Other top lords... ... authority... ... Kkeuk... ... !!!”
Duren’s body, which could not overcome the sudden change in blood pressure, was damaged, and the aftermath ran backwards to the heart in an instant.
My heart stopped on the spot due to the recoil of the territory deployment being canceled.
Duren’s body, unable to breathe properly, fell forward as it was, stiff in place.
oh oh oh... ... !!
Frozen Stockton. Torn Solseer. Duren stopped breathing.
That moment when Lennok looked at it and moved toward Stockton, who was still breathing.
Wedge!!
A white object flew from the other side and shattered the block of ice that had trapped Stockton.
Kwaaaaang!!
“... ... .”
Lenok, who had avoided the attack by blinking, looked away with a slightly stiff expression.
It wasn’t the speed and trajectory that could be avoided with the moderate response of that throw.
An unusual blow that seemed to check Lennok’s reaction rather than aiming for ice.
The moment Lennok realized this and raised his gaze, a cold female voice rang from the other side of the fog.
“I am too late.”
[Churrr... ... !!!]
At the same time, a scream erupted from the white object that fell at Lennok’s feet.
“Merylda.”
The shape of a huge wolf with white mane torn in places and bleeding.
He has not lost his fighting spirit yet and his eyes are shining brightly, but he looks like he has suffered quite a few injuries.
As if he was forcibly kicked out of a fight with someone, he was bleeding everywhere.
But even as her whole body trembled, Merilda’s gaze was clearly fixed on the other side of the fog.
Fire!
As if responding to the hostility, the figure of a woman brushes through the fog and slowly walks out.
He doesn’t have a special impression to speak of, but his expression is so stern as to be frightening.
The woman who looked around silently was Stockton and Duren. And he laughed at Solceer’s dead body.
“I thought everyone was having a lot of fun except for me, didn’t they?”
“Cool cool!! Warden... ... .”
Stockton collapsed through the broken ice, gritted his teeth and lowered his head.
“sorry. Because of my lack... ... !!”
“No, even to the point of being sorry.”
The woman said that and threw something she was holding in her hand.
“Kkeuk... ... .”
Something so bloody that it couldn’t even be compared to Merilda.
Lennok’s eyes narrowed when he realized that it was barely breathing and took on the shape of a wolf.
The appearance of Killian, who was covered in blood and was crushed to the brink of death, barely breathing.
The woman who threw Killian like garbage looked at Lennok and smiled.
“It is rather me who should be sorry. I could have fallen for any simple provocation and almost messed up the job.”
“... ... .”
The woman’s gaze grows stronger over Lennok, who doesn’t answer.
The woman, too, knew who Lennok was even before she appeared here.
A brief entertainment at the District 47 Casino.
A promise that was not even answered.
Even the fact that all the memories that were passed over as trivial things came together to form this current catastrophe.
“okay. Kangwoon who pulled the slot, fighting skills worthy of watching, even the guts that I liked... ... I mean, everything had a reason.”
A whitish figure swiped past the back of the muttering woman.
A bizarre chill and howls resound as if a ghost had been possessed and then disappeared in the midst of a momentary emotional agitation.
A cool, secluded wind blew that made everyone in this place freeze.
Whoooooooo!!
Touching her shoulder with one hand, she slowly loosened her neck.
“It doesn’t move, it’s solid.”
The woman recalled the image of a blue spiritual body behind her back and smiled.
“A game that I couldn’t finish at the casino at that time. You decided to bet today, right?”
Peisha Grisburn, a ogre with physical abilities at level 8.
The monster, who had been locked in the casino under the pretext of winning, returned at this point when the operation was not over.
“... ... Are you okay?”
But Lennok knew that, and slowly moved towards her.
Lennok sneered as he confronted Peysha head-on in the midst of the flames burning in all directions.
“Here, even if you lose, there won’t be any coins to continue the game.”
