Need for Speed (3)
Kwagwagwa!!!!
A heavy subway approaching with dim lights.
The figure in the dark tunnel is very blurry, but there is no one who does not realize the size and speed.
There is no time to even wonder how the forgotten train, buried inside the closed station, moves so fast.
Everyone understood that it was difficult to guarantee survival even if a train of that weight just brushed against the running track.
“Aaaaaaaa!!”
Tung!!
It doesn’t even make a decent noise.
The moment when a participant who was driving a 4-wheel drive car from the back lightly passed by the front part of the train.
The vehicle, which floated into the air like a toy, landed on the ceiling of the tunnel and exploded.
Kwaaaaang!!
It is only natural that the complexions of the other competitors who watched the scene turned blue.
“Aww…!!”
“Fuck fuck…!!”
It’s not a place to save energy.
Each one just prays to get ahead of the signal of death running from behind by taking out the remaining engine power, horsepower, or artifacts.
“It’s crazy…!!”
The Elementalist who was running right next to Lennok also began to speed up with a frightened expression.
“If you leave that kind of thing in this place, you won’t be safe either!!”
It was built, but there is nowhere to escape in this tunnel.
In order to avoid the subway running from behind with a terrifying momentum, you have to somehow speed up.
However, Lennok laughed at the spiritist and slowed down the bike.
The appearance of a monster bike that instantly sends an open-mouthed spirit sorcerer forward and starts to lag behind.
In a dark tunnel where it was difficult to predict the scenery ahead, the train that had been running through the tunnel in an instant began to be disturbed due to the bike suddenly leaving the lead.
Koo Goo Goo!!
“Come from the front!!”
“Don’t push, don’t push!”
“No, if the balance is disturbed…!!!”
Woojijijik!!!
The body of the monster bike is completely twisted horizontally to block competitors from behind.
In the middle of the rails, just whipping the throttle of the bike disrupted the entire race, causing countless crashes and explosions between the trains.
Aaaaaaang!!
Even the front-runners who were ahead of Lennok rushed towards the train rushing from behind, giving out tongues.
“Crazy bastard…!! Do you intend to destroy yourself along with the train!!”
“I’m not crazy, keep as much distance as possible!!”
Lennok, who had pushed away the participants who were relatively behind in the ranks with just one stir, puts his bike close to the oncoming train.
The speed of the train, which has already been properly accelerated and attached to inertia, is accelerating more and more violently, rather than decreasing.
But Lennok didn’t care about the enormous pressure that squashed the air and lifted the bike’s rear wheel.
At the same time, the front wheel of the bike rotated loudly and began to adjust the bike’s speed in an instant.
[Observation of rolling stock speed. Acceleration pattern and friction coefficient measurement completed. Prepare for bike body speed synchronization.]
Kagagagak!!
[Sit down!]
As soon as the rear wheel of the lifted bike touched the front of the train, a strong crackling sound came out.
Pushoooo!!
However, unlike the other participants who flew off without a thread, rather, they stayed at the front of the train and maintained its speed.
The absurd skill of getting on the train upside down exactly at the speed at which it is running.
While others forgot to look ahead and stared blankly back due to their transcendent ability to maintain speed and sense of balance, which is even questionable whether it is possible with human senses.
Lennok climbed onto the front of the train and climbed up the window in an instant, pulling something out of his arms.
Clap!!
Sightglass-992, a sniper rifle with a barrel long enough to stick out from the front of the bike.
By using the apostle’s carapace to adjust the recoil and strengthen the firepower, it is now an object that has a power close to that of an anti-tank sniper.
Quickly reload the bullets and put the barrel of the rifle over the bike to get a comfortable position.
Only then did the participants, realizing what Lennok was aiming for when he got on the train and started aiming at their backs, gritted their teeth and raised their mana.
[We’ve dealt with the second team, so now it’s only the advance team left.]
Putting his finger on the trigger, Lennok muttered quietly through his visor.
[Let’s see how well you can dodge it?
]
* * *
A quiet construction site in the early morning, well past midnight.
Although half-built, the rails at the bottom of the tunnel are so rusted that it looks like no vehicles have passed over them.
It’s so quiet that even breathing sounds like an echo.
That’s why the deafening roar reverberates so loudly that it doesn’t really feel like a lie.
Bubbubuck!!
Dozens of figures bounced through the broken asbestos walls.
They have only one thing in common: they are riding on top of vehicles, beasts, or unknown floating bodies, but various people run away in a hurry without even getting their posture right.
Kwaaaaang!!
As if chasing after them, a massive subway car protrudes like a stone pillar from the wall of the collapsed tunnel and runs at full speed.
Even though it has already been off the rails for a long time, its speed does not decrease.
The sharp beams of light emanating from the bikes on top of the head of such a train.
bang! bang! bang!!
Those who do not escape are pushed back by the train, and those who stumble and lose their balance are shot in the head with rifles.
Even those who desperately tried to avoid Lennok’s sniping somehow couldn’t stop from the large-caliber bullets penetrating through their thick helmets and fell down with blood splattered.
“Surrender surrender!! I will abstain!! help me!!”
“You can give up, if you give up!!”
Some beg for their lives in order to live immediately, even risking gang retaliation.
“It’s not over yet, you bastard!!!”
“What kind of race is this? … !!”
Tatatatang!!
In the meantime, even those who somehow manage to escape from the congestion of the train and counterattack Lennok.
In a cramped tunnel with nowhere to go, he had no choice but to be shot by Lennok and chased by a train, but the story is different now that he has come out to an open construction site.
Lennok quickly counted the number of them and then jerked up the handle of the bike he was holding.
Awesome!!
The runaway train, which lost its rails, landed on the ground just before it veered off the race route.
The front wheel of the massive monster bike suddenly lifted up and landed, squeezing the head of the beast that was holding up in front of it.
Along with an indescribable sound, something sticky came out of the bike tire.
Lennok frowned at the fishy smell rising through his visor.
[Everything goes off.]
The front wheel is lifted and it sprints forward. Get on top of the armored vehicle blocking the road and jump over the obstacle.
At the same time, he dropped several small bombs he had taken out of his arms directly into the seat.
Buff!!
Leaving behind the exploding car body and racers engulfed in flames, Lennok made his way through the rain of collapsing steel bars and recaptured the lead in an instant.
Buaang!!
Leaving behind the sound of steel bars collapsing and the shouts of competitors squealing in between them, they leave the construction site in an instant and get on the wide road.
‘Once you get out of the outer ring road and return to the abandoned port, it’s over. If you wipe out all the other competitors before then, the gang leader will come out.’
The moment Lennok thought so and tried to check the heat of the engine to increase the speed.
Tadadadak!!!
Right behind me, I started hearing the sound of treading on the thick asphalt.
“I knew you would stay.”
A figure of a bronze-colored warrior riding on a majestic leopard.
Impressive with his wild appearance, he was looking back at Lennok right next to him with a long spear stick slung over his shoulder.
[you….]
Is it the warrior riding the leopard who first asked the old man a question?
Considering what I said about the last episode, this probably wasn’t the first time I participated in the race.
Fuhwaak!!
At the same time, the third competitor rose from the asphalt as if sweeping sand dust.
“Are there only three of us?”
A male figure with the lower body in the shape of a snake. The snake’s tail, which swims restlessly on the ground, is made of hard steel and magic circuits.
Cyborg. Is that also a case of remodeling the entire lower body to increase mobility?
The cyborg grinned as he slipped his long tongue between his lips.
“The correct answer was to focus on matching the pace without needlessly speeding up. I never imagined that you would drop all the guys who competed with you.”
[…] … .]
Instead of answering, Lennok silently stowed his rifle and took out his rechargeable shotgun.
Movable bridges, cramped stairs, underground tunnels, chasing railroad cars, and even Lennok’s sniping.
If you’ve overcome all the obstacles and competition and reached this point, you’re sure not to be a normal person.
And all three of them were by no means stupid enough to come this far and compromise on the standings.
Three people staring at each other in the middle of the open ring road swung their hands at the same time.
bang!!
At the same time, the machine tail swung by Cyborg collided with the body of the bike.
A spearman riding on top of a running leopard twists his shoulder and a sharp flash of light ignites the air.
Kaga Gak!!
Dozens of scars were etched on the asphalt where the leopard was running, and it began cutting everything in all directions.
Streetlights, sidewalk blocks, fire hydrants and signs, as well as junk cars abandoned like garbage on the street, are neatly cut and bounced around the leopard.
A unique spearmanship that holds the base of the spearhead and spins like a circle.
In line with the strong centrifugal force, the sharp spear blade grinds everything in all directions and rushes to get Lennok’s bike out of the way.
And on the other side, a half-man, half-beast that flashes a laser blade and quickly digs into melee.
A cyborg human combined with the lower body of a snake narrows the distance with an unimaginable bizarre movement line and tenaciously aims only at the tire.
Lennok let out a hollow laugh when he realized that the two had decided on one goal, just like they had promised.
[Do something useless… … !!]
I gritted my teeth and pulled the brake.
Kiki profit!!
A sudden stop to the extent that the speed built up so far is colorless.
At the same time as the massive fuselage leans forward, the rear wheel is lifted to take off the onslaught that is stabbing from both sides.
Darby, who was observing the situation inside the bike system, also moved immediately.
[Front-wheel drive conversion 270 degree multi-angle rotation. Maintaining the balance of the body.]
The bike lifted the rear wheel and spun to the left on the spot. At the same time, the propulsion protruding from the side of the body activated and spewed bluish flames.
Accelerated by the rotational force, the heavy bike’s tires hit the half-man, half-beast man as it was.
Quaang!!
The rear wheel of the bike, held high in the air, hit the man’s temple and slammed it down, squeezing his swaying tail.
The bike tilted to one side and slid across the asphalt at breakneck speed, stepping on the snake’s tail.
At the same time, boosters protruding from various parts of the body work in the reverse direction, adding to the weight.
Wow!!
Tires and steel simultaneously ground across the asphalt, sparking countless sparks and raising the heat.
Kagagak!!
The machine-made tail joint was ripped off, revealing wires, and in an instant, a man who lost his entire lower body let out a desperate scream.
“Quaaaaagh!!”
At the same time as the tail entangled in the bike was smashed, the upper body fell helplessly in the middle of the asphalt and rolled around, crashing into a nearby fire hydrant.
The moment when Lennok looked back and pumped up his horsepower to somehow keep the bike in balance.
“It’s not over yet… … !!”
The spearman holding the spear pole from the right also twisted his shoulder without hesitation.
Let’s turn around and rotate the spear pole as if performing a stunt while clinging to the leopard’s back as it gallops voraciously on all fours.
Dozens of slashes began pouring down around the bike with an eerie sound.
Doo doo doo!!
‘Shield… … !!’
Because the weight of the carapace shield itself is considerable, it is difficult to take it out while riding a bike.
In the meantime, he puts out a relatively weak shield like glass and stabs Lennok’s vital point accurately.
The spearman’s hand movements swung the spear through the shield shards that shattered like glass. His hands are moving so fast that he can’t even see the two forearms holding the spear.
Hey profit!!
I gave up on checking the attack with the naked eye, checked the direction of the spearhead with magic power sensing, and lowered my head until I was about to fall off the bike.
Even so, the spear blade followed tenaciously and scraped the side of Lennok’s visor.
Hard!!
[Master!!]
The visor, which should protect the wearer’s head safely, is crushed like a feather, revealing Lennok’s side hair.
Changsa, who did not miss that figure, shone sharply.
“Black hair. Judging from his head and physique, he must be a man in his 20s. With that alone, personal information can be identified to some extent.”
[…] … .]
“The fact that you have that level of skill and still want to hide your identity is proof that you have a bad back. The base is good, but that’s it. give up.”
There is not a single shudder in his voice as he constantly swings the blade at Lennok.
“If you voluntarily give up the race, you will be pursued by the gang. However, if you stop here for about 30 seconds and come to the finish line, there is no problem with the rules.”
[Why don’t you pay attention to the front when you have time to say that?]
Lennok replied, lying on the edge as if he were going to be crushed to the ground at any moment.
Wedge love!!
Soon after, the race route the two run through turns into a container district that resembles ruins in the middle of the city.
Pile of rusted containers sitting in ruins all over the abandoned streets.
A common ruin in an outlying district that may have once been actively involved in freight traffic.
At the same time that Changsa recognized it, the magical powers extending from Lennok’s hands spread out between the containers in all directions.
[Let’s do our best together.]
The bike that was caught in the magician finally lost balance and fell over, sliding all the way to the ground along the side of the fuselage.
Kiki profit!!
It doesn’t lose its speed even when it fires sparks on the asphalt.
A method of maintaining balance and center of gravity not on the body of the bike but on the magician and keeping acceleration and inertia intact.
How delicately did he have to handle the weight of a massive bike weighing hundreds of kilograms to be able to manipulate a magician like this?
“Was it an operation-type mage…!! If that’s the case, why did you make the railroad cars runaway!!”
Kagagak!!!
It is natural that maneuvering becomes much easier at the point where the center of gravity itself can be turned to the outside at the will of the magician rather than putting it on the bike.
The sting of a spear fired like a machine gun with every exhalation.
Lennok was evading all the attacks from Changsha by manipulating magicians and autonomous driving algorithms to the limit.
Kiriric!!
The bike lays down and rises between the ground and the wall of the building, rotates and twists, and constantly changes direction.
The bike’s body, which smoothly rotated along with the flame of the booster that flickered nonstop, deflected the radius of the spear’s blade from the line where it could not be damaged.
At the same time, without losing the slightest speed, it glided all over the container as if gliding.
A miracle that can only be accomplished by perfectly reading and predicting all the workshops that Changsha himself develops.
It was only then that Changsa’s complexion hardened as he intuited that his opponent was not an ordinary rider, but a highly skilled sorcerer with transcendent number-reading abilities.
Clap!!
In that moment, Lennok took out his rechargeable shotgun, finished loading it in an instant, and aimed the gun.
[It has arrived.]
I pulled the trigger and fired it.
Taaang!!
A barrage of magical energy that spreads widely between the muzzles.
The shrapnel of Lennok’s sharp magic that seeped through the bullets aimed at the body of the panting leopard.
“That doesn’t work…!!”
The spearman, who turned the spear like a windmill with one hand, blocked the shots one after another at once.
Kagagak!!
A monster-like reaction speed that reacts right in front of the shotgun fragments fired at the speed of sound and knocks them out.
A leopard with physical prowess, high-level spearmanship, and comparable riding ability and superior intellect.
Perfect aptitude and abilities, as if they were born for such intense mobile warfare.
Even if it is not a race, it is impossible without thorough combat-related training and education somewhere.
It is self-evident that it is difficult to shake off a spear in a chase where the limit of reaction speed is tested while riding a bike, not in a one-on-one battle where Lennok can use his full strength.
“Stop giving up!!”
The moment when Changsha also intuitively sensed it and raised the spear once again with a determined expression confident of victory.
[Stop talking nonsense and look behind you.]
“What?”
Lennox laughed as he adjusted his visor.
[The grimoire gang is also pretty vicious. The place I chose as my last stop must be… … .]
Shoot it!!!
Countless piles of powder poured down on the heads of the two before they could finish their words.
Holes are pierced between the heavy containers located all over the street, and unknown white powder is seeping out.
The shots from Lennok’s shotgun were not simply directed at Changsha, but were smashing through containers located beyond them and blowing their contents.
The moment he smells the powder, even Changsa, who has long since broken through the ranks of military commanders, feels dizzy.
Changsa, realizing the identity of it in an instant, covered his nose with a stunned look on his face and muttered.
“Artificial drugs…Is it a cocktail!! They put such a dangerous thing in a container on the outskirts!!”
[You’re not the only one who has to cover your nose.]
“This Garum!!”
Even if it is not difficult for Changsha, a level superman, to continue fighting while forcibly controlling his breathing, the leopard he rides is a completely different story.
In fact, the leopard’s eyes, which had inhaled a lot of the drug powder while running, were gradually going back and forth.
No matter how beast it is, exposure to drugs that directly stimulate and damage the brain for a long time will be fatal.
If you become addicted, you can’t handle the aftermath.
It was only then that the frightened Changsa quickly swung the spear in all directions, causing a strong wind to drive away the drug powder.
“You can’t inhale it!! Be patient!”
Whoa!!
cocktail. Combination drug is a broad term referring to a combination drug that enhances its efficacy by combining various drugs.
Changsha also doesn’t have a lot of knowledge about drugs, but he understands how dangerous they are and how strong their side effects are.
Choosing a place where such drugs are hidden on a large scale as the last stop is the same as the grimoire gang cheating.
The number of containers stacked in this plaza is dozens. If the drugs were hidden in all those containers, the amount would be enough to inject millions of people at the same time.
Why was the gang hiding so many drugs at the last stop?
The face of the Changsa, who grasped that intention, sank into coldness in an instant.
“If things go wrong, are you thinking of holding us accountable for drug trafficking!! I hope all of this is to forcefully create an alibi… … !!”
[Think to your heart’s content.]
Mei Iik!!
The magical powers hung on all sides of the container were released as if they were cut off, and the body of the bike, which had been tilted abnormally, stood tall again.
At the same time, flames erupted violently from the exhaust vents at the rear of the car body.
Lennok, who had overtaken the staggering leopard by a narrow car, looked back and said,
[I’ll go first.]
Clap!!
At the same time, the shotgun that rotated in Lennok’s left hand automatically reloaded and fired.
The tower of containers piled high above his head on the left tilted and collapsed at the impact.
An incomparable amount of drugs burst out through the containers, covering the entire area.
Sparks thrown through the powder caused a chain reaction and turned into a huge dust explosion.
Aaaaaaaaa!!!
The explosion that covered the entire ruins of containers sweeps away not only the lagging leopards, but also the latecomers who came in a step later.
The heat and light made the dark night sky brighten like daylight for an instant, and light came into the city.
Immediately after, even the explosion turned into flames so hot that it was unrecognizable and engulfed everything.
* * *
“All 12 pacemakers lost contact. Retirement of 88 participants.”
“….”
He tries to maintain a calm expression, but there is nothing to stop the shaking of his reporting voice.
The voice rubbed his temple with one hand and waved his hand.
“continue.”
“Serious damage to the 5 outlying zones set as the race route…. We are getting a lot of complaints from our suppliers who rented us routes in the district.”
“Who are the survivors?”
“Eight out of twelve survivors are in a state of severe poisoning. Considering the addictive nature of cocktails, wouldn’t the aftereffects be significant… … I would like to.”
“And that means the other one is coming here now.”
Of the 112 participants, 12 pacemakers and 100 participants were recruited by the gang.
Among them, the back boats who agreed to share supplies with the gang in advance and held hands became close to twenty.
It is only natural that other organizations and gangs would pay attention to such chaos during the course of the race.
“It’s not even a fuss everywhere because of the explosion made of drug powder. Being investigated by the police will be unavoidable.”
“Did you forget where our back boat is? Let’s put that story aside for now.”
For the grimoire gang, the goods caught as a reward for the race are not important.
The most important thing for them is to thoroughly observe and maintain the form and rules of this race.
It’s natural, but it was because the tycoon who looked after the gang was asking for and hoping for this very strongly.
This is where the fundamental strength that allows gangs to show condescension to others as public goods of the city government and to speak out while occupying two districts of the outskirts comes from.
So what the rider on that bike had just done was the kind of thing the gang couldn’t stand by.
thud!!
A voice said as he lifted his heavy body from his seat.
“Victor. And the wine company behind it. Search the boat immediately and bring it in front of me.”
Red eyes glowing softly in the dark turned to the camera hanging on one side of the wall.
“Until he crawls in front of me.”
The finish line of the race projected through the camera screen.
In front of the grimoire gang’s headquarters.
A heavy bike slowly appeared in front of the iron gate with all kinds of barbed wire roughly wrapped around it.
