Drug-Eating Genius Mage Chapter 318

Metamorphosis (3)

A heavy old man’s voice echoed slowly through the shimmering noise.

[I only realized it after the coup. The city council was planning to use even our last outburst as an excuse to break the ban.]

“….”

[I was devastated by the reality that the cost of burning the soldier’s life was only a justification for lifting the ban. It was impossible to stand on an equal footing with them. Without overwhelming power beyond the standard.]

“So you decided to accept Gearside’s proposal and give up on being human?”

Lennok asked.

“To rise to level 8?”

Considering Barclay’s words and Treffen’s whereabouts, it is not difficult to infer his purpose.

Treffen, who has completed the hierarchy and rises to the position of Lieutenant General of the National Guard, has a goal to achieve even at the cost of abandoning his body.

The lieutenant general was thinking of reaching level 8 right here with the help of Gearside.

[I’ve been complacent for too long. I was about to give up thinking that the time allowed for me was up to this point.]

The old man’s voice was so calm.

[But it wasn’t like that. What I had to give up was not my limitations, but my humanity-]

Coo coo coo coo!!!

A huge vibration suddenly echoed along with the trephine’s fading tone.

[-I just admitted it now.]

But the epicenter is not this fortress.

The shock from outside the satellite city could be heard all the way here.

Strong enough to shake the ground around the satellite city as well as the fortress.

Recognizing the location of the place where the vibrations were spreading, Lenok hardened his face and immediately ran out of the office.

“Dabi!!”

Immediately put Darby into the control room database and hack the fortress central control system.

For the necessary authority, break through the biometric data present in Vice Admiral Trepen’s corpse and obtain control of the fortress as it is.

Lennok, who was shown on a huge monitor screen in the satellite city of Delta, slightly opened his mouth.

“Wait, can this be…!!”

Kwaaaaa!!!

A desert area near the horizon, far from the satellite cities.

A huge sandstorm erupts from the vicinity, and something huge rises through the ground.

What stood up almost simultaneously at the two points were two forts with the exact same appearance as the mobile fort that Lennok had infiltrated into.

Two more mobile fortresses, which had been maintaining the outer front line with just one, appeared.

To the extent that everyone who had been fiercely fighting in the vicinity of the fortress stopped moving for a moment at the scenery beyond common sense.

But the shock didn’t last long.

The two forts that rose to the ground bursting with dust began to move past the satellite city.

Koo Goo Goo!!

The direction he is heading toward with his heavy steps is the outskirts of the undeveloped district where the megalopolis is located.

Only then did the freelancers who realized Trepenn’s true purpose screamed and the communication network turned into an uproar.

“Going to the fucking Balkans!!”

“I couldn’t have imagined they had two more forts hidden…!”

“Did you use all the power of the National Guard as bait and have been looking for opportunities until now, you crazy bastard!!”

“You have to go and stop it!!!”

[If the city council wants chaos, it will.]

Treffen’s voice echoed majestically through the vicinity of the satellite city.

[If you look forward to the end of the prohibition law by sacrificing the lives of millions of people, then I will.]

Weiyiying!!

The batteries on the decks of the two fortifications start to heat up as they rotate in unison.

The speed at which it moves forward while moving its thick legs feels faster than most vehicles.

[I won’t stop until I burn down the Congress Clock Tower… … !! Hahahahahahaha!!!!]

Hearing a maniacal laugh, Lennok quickly began to assess the situation.

[half. Are you listening?]

Immediately afterwards, Palad’s voice echoed over the communicator.

[Lieutenant General Treffen moved. I know that you infiltrated the fortress control room, but can you briefly explain the situation?]

“That’s right.”

As Lennok explained how he made his way to the control room and the scenery he saw inside, Pallad let out a sigh.

[A relocation facility that was not confirmed in the desert area near the satellite city. It seems that both of those places were where unfinished mobile fortresses were hidden.]

“Looking at the circumstances, it looks like that.”

[It must have been a plan to complete the two unfinished forts with the help of Gearside and use the strength of the National Guard as bait to advance. It’s an idea that’s hard for a sane person to think of.]

Palad sighed and said.

[Currently, Illya and Felix lead their respective agents and mercenary forces to engage the generals. It is difficult to draw power right away.]

“….”

[It’s not a request for you who recaptured the fortress single-handedly, but there aren’t many people who can move now.]

“The problem is that there isn’t one fortress.”

said Lennok, looking out of the control room.

Outside the window, two forts moved tirelessly away from the vicinity of the satellite city.

“I don’t know where Treffen, who has reconstituted his body, is, but it’s not enough alone to stop two fortresses.”

[I’m going with Hina,]

Palad replied calmly.

“Are you okay?”

Although he holds the position of agent’s deputy director, Palad’s fighting ability is no different from that level.

If you encounter the resurrected Treffen, you won’t be able to survive even for 5 seconds.

But Palad laughed in a nonchalant voice.

[Ban] The moment you recaptured the fortress control room, the role of the control tower ended. All that remains is to organize the wardens holding out at the back gate of the fort and the reactor. But that’s not an area I can help with.]

[I’ll join you too.]

Right after that, Aris’ cold voice echoed through the network.

[The main force of the National Guard, which was stationed on the main street of the satellite city, has been cleaned up. The rest of the power can be dealt with by allied Freelancers… … . Then it would be right for me to focus on blocking those newly appeared fortresses.]

“….”

[I’m sure it was you who told me to leave some spare energy in case of an unexpected situation?]

“I understand.”

Lennok said no more and stood up.

“Then, from now on, we will have to find a way to cover that distance and reach the fort.”

The distance between the two forts that had just appeared was more than 10 km no matter how short it was.

If I was alone, I would try to shorten the distance somehow, even by changing the engine of the bike, but it is difficult to achieve that speed with Palad and Hina Aris.

[What are you talking about now? Come down to the deck quickly.]

“What?”

[I’m sure I didn’t mean to say that I could help.]

Lennok, looking down at the deck from the control room window, saw the two of them and let out a blank laugh.

Pallad grinned and waved as he picked out one of the fighters strewn beneath the messy deck.

[Even if you look at it like this, he was a fighter pilot.]

“Ha….”

[Decades have passed, but it’s not difficult to deliver three people. Let’s get on quickly.]

* * *

“So how are you going to get four people on a two-seater fighter?”

“….”

At Aris’ cold words, Palad turned his head slightly.

Aris let out a deep sigh.

“The idea itself is not bad, but the problem is that there is only one person who can ride it.”

“It would be possible if we airlifted one more fighter, but…”

“Then this time there is a shortage of pilots.”

Lennok took Hina’s words.

“It’s about finding another fighter that’s in good shape. It won’t be impossible if you search this deck… … . Which of the two can drive a fighter jet?”

Aris and Hina faced each other at the same time and shook their heads.

“Armored vehicles are somehow possible, but flying vehicles….”

“I got my Balkan driver’s license a month ago.”

“…”

I got the good news that Aris got her license a month ago.

Finally, Lennok nodded towards Aris.

“Let’s go first.”

“How are you going to follow me?”

“I have experience operating aircraft, but I am not sure if I will be able to operate a fighter jet.”

Lennok said that and glanced at Hina.

“It would be better to have someone relatively strong in case of a crash.”

At those words, Aris and Hina’s expressions crumpled at the same time.

“It’s not that strong, but….”

“Your needless consideration is impressive.”

“…Doesn’t that matter now?”

I feel like I’ve lost my crush unintentionally, but I’m in an urgent situation anyway.

Eventually, Aris rode behind Palad’s fighter, and Lennok and Hina found another intact fighter and took their position.

Hina, who was fastening her seat belt from behind, asked.

“Have you ever flown an airplane like this before?”

“It is not a lie.”

As Lennok said, he let Darby, who had been hiding in his arms, infiltrate the cockpit instrument panel.

In an instant, Darby, who analyzed and mastered the fighter’s flight system, began uploading the algorithm he had completed in the past.

A flight algorithm built using the airships of the Philenom Dominion and completed to some extent.

I didn’t expect to test its performance in a place like this, but now was not the time to cover other tools.

[Automatic flight algorithm upload complete. System activated.]

In an instant, the instrument panel lights up, the altitude indicator works, and the fighter with the two seated begins to tremble slowly.

[Secure driving range. The engine goes into ignition. 3 2 1.]

Weiyiing!!

At the same time as Lennok grabbed the control stick and pretended to push it all the way forward, the heated fighter ran across the deck.

Kwaaaa!!

The fighter jet, which bounced off the material boxes scattered nearby with only the wind pressure bursting at speed, seemed to fall out of the deck, and then soared through the sky.

Hina, who was sitting behind her in the dynamic movement, let out a scream.

“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! The sturdy agent is dead!!”

“….”

The speed of sound broke through with Hina’s scream, which somehow seemed to have Lennok’s words in her heart.

The aircraft regained its balance with a sonic boom that exploded into the sky in an instant.

[I can’t help it because the mileage is a bit short,]

Darby grumbled disapprovingly into Lennoc’s communicator.

[Still, I succeeded in accelerating.]

“Okay.”

Kirik!

muttered Lennok, who quickly turned and steered toward the mobile fort that ran in the distance.

“Let’s go right away.”

Quaang!!

* * *

Two fighters taking off almost simultaneously.

Felix turned his head after confirming the direction the plane was headed, which had broken through the speed of sound in an instant.

“Looks like things are coming to an end.”

“Kuhhh… … A

sharp-looking man drenched in blood.

However, even the momentum that was supposed to be strong at first has completely broken, and he is only supporting himself somehow by leaning on the pillars of the fort’s bridge.

Felix looked at him and put the battle hammer in his hand over his shoulder.

Blood was dripping from the surface of the extremely heavy hammer.

“The fortress you were proud of has been captured, and only Lieutenant General Treffen remains. Although we got help from Gearside, we will end up stopping near the city.”

He said, bowing his head with the male chief Jelicich while crouching like a mountain.

“If we wanted to regain our prestige, we should have started over in the shadows of the city. Did you think you could bring the city to its knees in this reckless way?

Warden Jelicich faintly twitched and raised his head to ask Felix.

“Antares…. Did you say office?”

“Yes.”

“Ha, that’s ridiculous… … . Cool!”

Jelicch let out a blood-dried cough and laughed.

“You mean the hero from 20 years ago was running a mercenary office in the back of a megalopolis?”

“….”

“If a strong man like you is acting as a mercenary, it must be. I thought it was just a coincidence… … . Hehe.”

Jelicch lowered his head and said.

“Then, are you guys starting over from the shadows to subdue the city?”

“hmm.”

said Felix, who touched his beak with a thick hand.

“Since you’re lending a hand to something like this, I thought you were a closed-minded person, but you seem to be very open-minded.”

“Quack…. It’s rare to find someone who gives advice like this to someone who’s been digging everything.”

Jellitch’s expression, which had been giggling, slowly faded.

“mirror…Like .. the old self… … . Unless you’re looking at it… … .”

“….”

“any…good…this isn’t too bad… … .”

The muffled voice cuts off and the focus disappears in the eyes.

Felix looked down at Zelic’s face, then raised his hand and gently covered his eyelids.

Words that hadn’t been told to him came out softly.

“Then and now, we haven’t changed much. I’m just waiting for the right time and doing what I have to do.”

“─────.”

“Even if it loses its glory and falls, that city should remain there. Even for the tens of millions of lives that live inside… … .”

“Mr. Magat.”

A mercenary appeared behind the murmuring Felix and quietly called him.

Even within the mercenaries, Belver is famous for revealing money exceptionally. But now, his expression was calm.

“All of the remaining guards units in the vicinity have been cleared.”

“You suffered.”

Felix turned and nodded.

“Should I follow the guy in the direction of the fort?”

“Let’s divide the power in half and move it.”

Clap!

Felix raised the hammer and answered.

“You Belver, lead the others to assist near the reactor. Cybrid Eco’s Lancer may not have decided the match yet, so help him and follow him.”

“Who is Magat?”

“Of course I should follow them.”

Felix raised his beak as he said that.

The magnificent mobile fortress stood firm, blocking the sky of the vast satellite city.

“Just in case, the stuff for that is also prepared here.”

“….”

Instead of answering, Belver opened his mouth blankly.

* * *

I love you!!

“Ba Van?”

Hina, slightly pale, called out to Lennok from behind the fighter seat.

“Why?”

“I think this fighter is too fast….”

“It’s been a while since I came down from the sound. It’s impossible to drop them off halfway without slowing down… … It’s natural that you can move much faster than now if you use the automatic flight algorithm, but it’s impossible to drop Hina on the other side of the fortress

.

Even if ejecting the seat was as simple as pulling a lever, ejecting her at supersonic speed would not look good.

In the end, in order to stop two fortresses at the same time, you have to divide your power.

Aris is moving with the help of Palad, but Palad himself will not be of any help in this battle.

It makes sense, then, for the relatively nimble Lennok to take one fort and leave the other to Hina and Aris.

“….”

Hina stared at Lennok’s back and asked.

“Do you have a personal relationship with Professor Richellen?”

“…no. But we met once before because of other things.”

“okay. For some reason, I feel like Ban is avoiding Professor Richellen… … .”

“….”

“It’s not a coincidence, is it?”

I tried not to be conscious of it, but it seems that it was difficult to fool the agent even with subtle changes in attitude.

The fact that Hina was able to reveal the reaction that no one else noticed until now must have been because Aris was unreasonably transported in a Pallad fighter.

Lennok replied, turning the control stick gently to one side.

“It doesn’t mean much.”

“then?”

“I just thought it would complicate things if he discovered the technology I was using.”

In the process of hacking fighter jets and injecting automatic flight algorithms, Darby’s help is inevitable.

Even if the eyes of others could be deceived, it would be impossible to take out the Dabi and use the power while avoiding the senses of Aris, who had the same level of skill.

I expected that I might feel a sense of incongruity, but I didn’t expect to be asked this straight away.

“Can I hear what’s going on?”

“It’s related to the ceremony. I want to avoid personal questions.”

Hina crossed her arms and looked out the window with a smile.

“It’s difficult.”

“No trouble.”

“I thought the team leader would have a strong rival, but I think it will still be okay.”

“…Stop talking nonsense and get ready soon.”

While saying that, Lennok twisted his upper body and placed his hand on Hina’s head.

“It’s because we’ve arrived near the fortress soon.”

“If you let go of the control stick like that…!!”

“are you okay.”

[Yeoroesin(余雷身)]

Pajijijik… … !!

As the electric current from Lennok’s fingertips seeped into the crown of Hina’s head, her whole body reacted swiftly.

Hina Oneil is one of the subjects with the highest efficiency of augmentation magic used by Lennok.

“I put in something stronger than usual, so the medicine will last a long time.”

Looking up at Hina’s face with a slightly dazed expression, Lennok smiled.

“Then please take care of me.”

“Wait a minute, please don’t leave me in this state right now!”

rattle!!

At the same time as the fighter cockpit glass is opened, the seat Hina was riding in is ejected as it is.

Tied to the seat belt, her body soared high into the sky.

“Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!”

Hearing Hina’s screams, Lennok gave a thumbs up without looking back.

“Baaaaaaan!!”

Leaving behind an echo full of anger somewhere, Lennok immediately drove the fighter.
