Genius Wizard Takes Medicine - Chapter 61
Only Krnovel
Leaving Hina in command of the team members in this operation, the four immediately split into two groups and rushed into different buildings.
Hina’s voice resounded in Lennok’s ears as he easily reached the lower building after casting the floating magic on his shoes.
[half.]
“I am listening.”
[There is one fact I didn’t tell those three before.]
“what?”
[Do not keep the encryption key until the end, fight moderately and then withdraw.]
“……..”
[We need to make them run away with the encryption key.]
To Hina’s words, Lennok didn’t answer right away, but shook his head moderately.
If I had intended to entrust such a suitable job, it would have been nice to have used another freelancer instead of him.
But even so, the reason why she insisted on adding a sajok at this point is probably because what she is saying now has an important meaning in the operation.
“You already messed with the encryption key?”
[That’s right. I couldn’t confirm which data was the encryption key, so I overthrew all the databases in this building. You’re quick-witted.]
“Are you planning to use the dummy as a clue to track the location of the opponent’s base and strike it down?”
[If a powerful wizard like Van is guarding this place, the enemies won’t even question the authenticity of the encryption key.]
“From the moment I got the information, everything was already planned. Is all agent work done like this?”
The espionage ability of digging into the opponent’s organization and directly obtaining information. Incredible execution power enough to replace the databases of all servers in a 20-story building.
It is so skillful and amazing that it is hard to believe that the operation is being carried out using an outsider.
Perhaps it was because they were quick experts on this part from the beginning, but they were thorough enough to be different from Dyke’s work.
And to that extent, Lennok’s vigilance was growing little by little.
‘I shouldn’t be mistaken.’
The agents were not allies from the beginning, and they cannot become allies.
It was just that they collaborated by chance due to the unusual relationship of Evelyn.
The city hounds were by no means Lennok’s close friends.
‘Should I focus on work for now?’
Open the roof door and go downstairs, passing through the narrow hallway.
The floor where Hina said the common office is located is on the 17th floor.
Lennok slowly raised his mana as he walked down through the cold empty rooms with no one in sight.
Whoa..!
A slow rumbling sound coming from inside the body.
As if slowly warming up an engine, it pumps horsepower, covering the entire building at once and sweeping away all signs.
Whoo!
“……..”
Lennok nodded his head, closing his eyes for a moment and accepting the intrusive information.
“About 15 people come upstairs through the emergency exit on the third floor.”
[It’s started.]
“Seven of them are on the stairs, four are on the elevator, and the other three are… climbing the outer wall of the building. Do I really need to do this?”
Even if you think about it from the opponent’s point of view, it’s a handshake to ride the outer wall from the position of dividing troops and secretly aiming for this side.
There would be nothing to be gained by showing outside the glass wall like a leech.
It’s impossible to climb the outer wall to the 17th floor unless the gain is greater than the loss…
“Ah, I see.”
Before Hina could answer, Lennok quickly found an answer.
“It was camouflage. Are you assimilating yourself into those around you in some way?”
[…….]
“The movement of magical power itself is smooth, so I don’t think it used a magic formula… If that’s the case, it’s probably towards magic engineering.”
After answering his question, Lenok opened the window in the hallway wide and muttered,
“It doesn’t matter anyway.”
Clap!
At the same time as he said that, an elongated metallic object protruded from his waist.
It has the shape of a revolver, but its barrel is much longer and thicker than those used by Lennok before.
The modification of the revolver entrusted to Palmer was finally finished, and he had acquired a new auxiliary equipment.
The modification of the shotgun has not been completed yet, so I had no choice but to get the revolver first, but it is enough to try out the new equipment.
Awesome!!
Lennok loaded the cylinder with bullets and built up mana while being hit by the cold wind pouring in from the window.
[Aim correction]
[Heat wire tracking]
[3-point shot]
Woooooooo!!!!
As soon as the chanting was finished, three bright red lines extending from the muzzle ran across the building’s outer wall.
As the red line settled into place, Lennok pulled the trigger.
Tata Tang!!
one shot. However, three shots of flame came out of the muzzle.
The three arrows of fire, each divided into different trajectories, move along the red heat line and pierce the invisible air.
Kwajik!
The noise of flesh and muscle crushing.
As soon as blood splattered into the air, Lennok immediately turned around when he saw three corpses falling from the outside of the building.
“For now, three people.”
[It’s going smoothly. The other side also succeeded in blocking the first entry.]
I don’t even have to tell you which ladder to kick off second.
Standing in front of the elevator that was rapidly increasing the numbers, Lennok put his hand on the button.
If you don’t have any knowledge or experience, Lennok will have some trouble, but operating the elevator is not difficult if you understand the magic engineering you realized in the process of opening Ciger Bang’s safe.
The mana flowed from the button as the starting point approaches through the electric wire and cuts off the power in an instant.
In the process, even the backup power of the safety device that was supposed to operate automatically was destroyed, and the elevator, which had stopped standing on the 15th floor, began to fall.
Inside the elevator, Lennok nodded his head as he confirmed the three vital reactions knocking on the door in bewilderment.
Those with physical abilities would break the elevator door on the way to escape, but magicians wouldn’t have many holes to get out of.
All that’s left is seven people climbing up the stairs.
As if he noticed that his colleagues had been hit, his speed increased considerably.
At this rate, they would open the emergency exit door within 30 seconds and rush into the hallway.
I was lost in thought as I stared at the tightly closed iron door.
As Hina said, in order not to raise suspicion that the encryption key has been changed to dummy data, you must fight moderately before handing over the encryption key.
‘It’s a difficult job.’
It’s more comfortable to press down with force from the front, even Lennok doesn’t know how to pretend to have the encryption key unintentionally stolen while dealing with the opponent while adjusting the force.
How much do you have to act so that the other person can be tricked?
Hina probably skipped the other freelancers and entrusted the job to the magician Lennok because of this, but…
I felt like I could try to do something once I checked the other person’s face.
Kwaaaang!!
As soon as I finished my thoughts, smoke billowed from inside the iron door, and the door burst open as if it were about to explode.
Seven people rushing into the corridor at the same time.
The two in the front are sturdy, one is holding a shield and one is holding a large caliber energy gun, and three riflemen assisting in breaking through behind them.
And one sorcerer and one swordsman standing at the back.
Although they all wear masks to cover their faces, they cannot hide the momentum of the magical power flowing out.
Except for the two superhumans at the back, the rest were not at the level of much concern.
On the contrary, the others who saw Lennok raised their senses and began to form carefully.
The sorcerer standing at the very back spoke quietly.
“Everyone, focus.”
“…….”
“He’s an extremely high-level gunner. He probably has the support of hackers since he hacked the elevator and crashed it. We need to deal with it as quickly as possible and get it out before he messes with the encryption key.”
Lennok, who was preparing for battle, laughed involuntarily at the words that were completely different from what he had expected.
bait
It’s not strange to not know that Lennok did it all by himself, but the fact that Lennok was mistaken for a gunner was quite impressive.
I don’t know what method was used, but it seemed that the sorcerer had confirmed that Lennok was dealing with those clinging to the outer wall.
It must be proof that the new shooting assist magic, [Heat-ray tracking] and [3-point shooting] felt so threatening to the other side as well.
As he raised the revolver in his hand, he felt his opponent visibly flinch.
Lennok smiled at the sight, twisted the muzzle, and pulled the trigger.
Not from the person maintaining formation in front, but toward the floor and walls of the hallway.
[Rockshot]
Tata Tang!!
one crash. The bullets bounced off with that repulsive force rotated randomly and pierced human flesh through parts other than the head.
I didn’t even have to say who the target was.
“Ah, ah!”
“All, legs…!!”
I checked the muzzle flames rising from the darkness, but I didn’t think that Lennok would use the ricochet.
In an instant, the three riflemen standing behind the two giants collapsed, each grabbing a part of their body.
As if a white flower had bloomed on their bodies, cold ice rose and froze their bodies bit by bit.
The enchantment engraved on the bullet [Freeze Order].
The ricochet with the added freezing effect far exceeded the power of a simple shot.
The eyes of the sorcerer and the swordsman, who lost three powers in an instant, completely changed.
As if they were aiming for that moment, the two giants standing in front simultaneously charged at Lennok.
“Kuaaaaa!!!”
A giant wielding a shield like a blunt weapon, and a colleague charging an energy gun behind him.
From behind, the sorcerer starts muttering a chant, and the swordsman slowly starts walking while holding a sword.
Lennok, who captured the four figures in one glance, immediately moved.
[Upper Ground]
Kwaaaang!!
“Keuuk…!!”
The hallway floor suddenly rose from under the giant’s feet, who was charging the energy gun, and pinned him to the ceiling.
The energy gun that fell from his hand landed on the back of the giant who was wielding the shield, burning the giant’s shoulders.
“Aaaaaaaaaa!!”
The moment when the struggle of the giant who rolled on the floor howling in pain and the struggle of the two struggling with only the lower neck hanging from the ceiling calmed down.
The swordsman appeared through the chaotic atmosphere and fired a straight flash at Lennok’s chest.
Saaak!!
A clean and precise strike.
He doesn’t know much about swords, but he’s sharp enough to recognize the fact that there are no superfluities.
But because of that, it was rather difficult to break it.
Woooooo!!
As magic interference puts pressure on the swordsman’s wrist, the trajectory of the blade twists strangely, far away from Lennok, who was standing right in front of him.
The swordsman’s shoulders visibly shook at the bizarre sensation of his own two hands moving freely.
Kwaaaaang!!
Lennok, who did not miss the chance, planted shock magic on the swordsman’s back.
Leaving behind the figure of the swordsman who had flown across the hallway, I turned my head.
How quickly that series of processes were completed, the chant the magician was preparing was not yet complete.
Lennok, who was staring at the sorcerer, asked.
“I don’t think he’s a warlock, but where is his faction?”
“Sir, fuck…”
The brilliance of magical power rising from the magician’s hands is distinctly different from the sticky-yin magic that Lennok knew.
He said he joined hands with a terrorist organization. Is he a sorcerer working for that organization?
Actually, I wasn’t too curious, but there was a reason why Lennok suddenly stopped fighting and started talking.
The magician must have noticed that too, so he quietly canceled the ceremony and answered the question obediently.
“…Shock type. But it seems that they use shock magic as well.”
They say that shock-type magic is popular here, but it doesn’t seem to be wrong.
This was the first time I had encountered the same type of magician twice, including the one I met when I was commissioned by a pharmaceutical company.
Still, he seemed to have realized that the magic he had just spewed out towards the swordsman was similar to the one he was using.
“It’s about what I learned from looking over my shoulder.”
“…A Gunner like you? That’s nonsense. No, he wasn’t even a Gunner in the first place.”
It was only then that the wizard’s eyes became clearer, as if he had come to his senses to some extent in this chaotic situation.
“Who are you? Among the Freelancers in the 40th District, I’ve never heard of a wizard like this.”
“hmm….”
Lennok didn’t have a strong desire to show off enough to ask if he’d ever heard of the name Van.
When Lennok couldn’t answer easily, the wizard smiled and said,
“Looking at the reaction, it’s obviously not a simple freelancer. Okay, so how about this?”
“what?”
“I don’t know how much money I got into this, but I’ll give you twice that amount. So help us get out of here safely.”
“………”
“It’s enough until we get out of Area 41. There are vehicles waiting outside to help us escape, so escorting them is enough.”
Instead of answering, Lennok crossed his arms and tilted his head.
No matter how much it was a ploy to attract time, it was not an ordinary guy with a thick nerve to make such a proposal to him here.
If a member of the organization, not even the head of the organization, comes out like this, there must be a reason…
“I don’t know how rich they are to make such an offer.”
Lennok asked, and the wizard took the bait right away.
“Of course. I can’t go into detail, but soon the organization will receive a huge amount of money. It will be enough money to change the foundation of the organization from the root. Recruiting talented people like you is definitely not difficult.”
“…Can you say that to me right now?”
Lennox replied with a bewildered expression, convinced inside.
‘I’m sure. It’s about Reisen.’
A slush fund belonging to a senator of the city council that the black magician knows about.
This kind of answer would not be possible unless we decided to share some of the money together with a terrorist organization.
At Lennok’s words, the wizard replied with a meaningful smile.
“That’s right… I have no intention of giving you a penny, that’s right…!!”
“……..”
Has it just finished?
Lennok thought so and slowly turned his head.
The swordsman who had been hit by shock magic and flew behind Lennok was coming out of the office with something that looked like a USB port.
“Run away!!”
The moment our eyes met, the sorcerer screamed loudly, and the swordsman turned his back and ran like lightning.
Kwakkwakkwa!!
As if he had been waiting for this moment until now, he suddenly threw shock magic at Lennok, a sorcerer trying to seize the time.
Seeing the sorcerer’s appearance, the swordsman, who wiped his eyes with one hand, boldly threw himself through a nearby window.
Wow Jangchang!!
The swordsman’s shadow quickly disappears down the 17th floor.
Lennok, who witnessed the desperate camaraderie with his own two eyes, put on an expression of absurdity.
“……What are you guys doing now?”
“Ah, as long as I can steal the encryption key, that’s enough… I have no regrets anymore.”
“……..”
Seeing the sorcerer clenching his trembling hands and closing his eyes as if waiting for the approaching end, Lennok couldn’t help but laugh.
It seems that as soon as he judged that it would be difficult to deal with him from the front, he was thinking of a diversionary operation.
What kind of expression would this guy make if he knew that all those moments were made according to Lennok’s intention?
[You escaped safely. Seeing the location tracking happening in real time is perfect. Good job.]
Hearing Hina’s satisfied voice, Lennok asked.
“I caught a magician from a terrorist organization, what should I do?”
“……!”
Although invisible, cold sweat begins to form on the magician’s forehead, probably overhearing that this moment is the moment that determines his life or death.
[Hmmm… First of all, this side’s goal has been achieved, so it doesn’t matter too much. If you want to kill me, whatever you want.]
“What do you think of me?”
Lennok isn’t exactly a blood-crazed killer or a madman who enjoys the thrill of fighting.
He’s doing it because it’s necessary, and because it’s the most efficient and risk-free for his circumstances.
If he had been carrying out this request by himself, he would have just killed it because it would be difficult to clean up if he kept alive, but now that he has an agent as a backing ship, it is different.
poop!!
When the back of the head was hit with shock magic, the sorcerer collapsed with his eyes closed immediately.
“I fainted, so take it on your own. Interrogate or not, do whatever you want.”
[Hmm… This is a bit surprising.]
“what?”
[no. Then we’ll take care of the post-processing. I should have restored the internal network that I touched in the process of fixing the encryption key anyway. Once you get out of the operation area-]
Aaaaaaang!!
An intense explosion covers the earphones.
I wondered if Hina had been hurt, but I soon realized that it was noise coming through the window and turned my head.
A 30-story high trade center that was the gathering area for operations.
Bright red flames were dripping like blood from the building where the three freelancers, excluding Lennok, had decided to combine.
It is such intense firepower that it brightens the night sky in an instant.
Certainly, it didn’t bode well for us that this happened right after the prosecutor succeeded in escaping with the encryption key.
There was a moment of silence, and Hina’s voice became very heavy.
[…you’ve been hit.]
muttered Lennok as he took out a cigarette from his bosom.
“It must be ours.”
“Looks like there was a talented person hiding there just in case. It seems to be a way to safely escape the power that attacked the trade center after stealing the encryption key… but it’s more than expected.]
“How about contact with other team members?”
[This is a disconnected state. Judging from the fact that they still have vital reactions, it is presumed that all of them are in battle.]
“Whoa…”
Lennok lifted his left wrist as the smoke in his mouth drifted out the window.
The watch given by Agria naturally turns into a telescope and helps Lennoc secure his sight.
As I put one eye through the telescope, looked inside the trade center, and continued to turn the magic sensor, I began to picture a situation that was going around to some extent.
Opponent is one magician and one warrior.
After all, it’s the same superhuman composition as the place Lennok was in charge of, but the level is different even if you just glance at it from afar.
Perhaps the warrior was mobilized by the terrorist organization and the magician by the warlock, but they were pushing the three people to an almost overwhelming level.
While the blunt giant and the young man with firepower somehow manage to hold out in front of him, the woman grabs two blades and tries to find an opening, but it doesn’t seem like she’s even an opponent in close combat.
A man who accelerates while frantically spewing steam from both arms modified with unknown mechanical devices.
Lennok’s eyes naturally sank as he confirmed the incredible speed that the naked eye couldn’t catch up with.
“……..”
I asked leisurely, taking my eyes off the telescope.
“Shouldn’t we intervene soon? If you are supervising the operation, it seems important to manage the team members.”
[…….]
Hina doesn’t talk to Lennok first.
first operation. That, too, was a collaboration that was barely reached through the cooperation of Evelyn.
Her reluctance to hand over the initiative is understandable.
But there was no reason for Lennok to sound sorry in the first place.
If I had to argue, wouldn’t Hina be the one who had to deal first?
momentary silence. But in the end, the one who raised the white flag was decided.
[……My abilities are not suitable for this situation. Rather, it is more likely to be a hindrance.]
“Right.”
Lennok replied happily.
“so?”
[Wait a little while, reinforcements will arrive. Until then, I hope Ban-nim will take his time. It’s a waste of power to lose with just one operation.]
That’s not wrong.
It’s just that he’s struggling because an unexpectedly strong enemy has appeared, but the team members struggling over there are obviously quite talented in Lennok’s eyes.
To put it bluntly, they were as skilled as the mounts I encountered at the meeting with Madam.
Whatever it is, if you keep it alive, it’s enough to help you in some way.
After completing the calculation, Lennok stood up from his seat.
“Do you know which account the success pay of those friends should be put into?”
[of course.]
That was enough.
Lennok immediately turned his back and headed for the hallway.
support fire
A sorcerer passed out while being overpowered by him, and other combatants groaned in pain beside him.
On the floor, various equipment they brought with them is strewn about, regardless of type and size.
Lennok looked around, saw what he wanted, and immediately picked it up.
A long rifle carried by a rifleman.
It wasn’t intentional, but in the current situation, there is no such thing as this.
Lennok struggled to carry the rather heavy rifle to the window, fixed the muzzle, and slowly brought the butt to his shoulder.
“Whoa…”
I’m not used to it, but it’s not an unfamiliar feeling either. I thought of the military.
It may not be a good memory, but it naturally reminds me of the earth again.
A longing that suddenly arises at an unexpected moment.
I forcibly shook it off and straightened my posture.
Lennok was well aware of the rifle’s range, though he had acquired a long-barreled rig.
Even in a world where magical engineering exists, it has already been confirmed several times that the size and ability of a gun is no different from what Lennok knew.
You can’t reach that building simply with the specs of this rifle.
If that’s the case, it’s just stacking magic.
[Aim correction = 2 steps]
[distance amplification]
[Concentrated fire]
Woooooooooo!!
There were only three types of auxiliary magic that were assembled. However, the power and level of each one is distinctly different from the previous one.
The blue magic light flickered slowly, wrapping around the muzzle and drawing a faint spiral.
launch.
Taaang!!
As soon as I pulled the trigger, a single bullet ricocheted through the frozen air and passed between the two skyscrapers.
A small metal object that rotates on a steel wire. The apex that converges to one point advances without any disturbance.
It hit the temple of the man who jumped forward with his eyes wide open.
Quaang!!
Lennok, who confirmed that the man’s model fell to the side in an unexpected shock, immediately turned the gun.
The next target is a sorcerer looking out of the building with a bewildered expression from behind. The magic combination is the same as before.
Loads and fires at high speed.
Taaang!!
A single shot that even a warrior with physical abilities could not react to.
However, the sorcerer succeeded in blocking it by pulling up the black wall.
The five senses raised to their limits through magic sensing. The reaction speed that comes from it is temporary, but it also surpasses those with physical abilities.
The same principle that allows Lennok to go up against a warrior like Beck Clinton.
A smile crept across his lips.
“It’s fun.”
The ensuing battle is a simple iterative process.
reload, trigger. reload, trigger.
Although its functionality and efficiency have been greatly improved, the shooting assist magic, which still consumes less mana compared to common common magic, does not burden Lennok at all.
Shoot, spit, change when you run out of bullets, pick up another gun when the barrel is hot.
If it was one or two long-distance sniping attacks, it could be pared down somehow, but how many people would be able to endure a series of blows of such power?
Usually, those who specialize in sniping tend to take on various penalties instead of having a strong one-hit power, but Lennok, who has overcome all of his shortcomings with his overflowing talent, has nothing to do with it.
‘Especially in this situation.’
Knowing that this situation is not common in battles with superhumans, Lennok pulled the trigger without hesitation.
A somewhat heterogeneous battle environment between the two buildings.
The existence of three freelancers who were dealing with earlier.
Regardless of the sniper ability, it is not easy to find a situation as comfortable as this in the first place.
So just enjoy it while you can.
Tatatatatatatatang!!!
Empty.
In the hands of the riflemen, the bullets that could not even grazed Lennok’s coat flew through the night sky with clusters of bright blue light and were struck down by the terrorists.
The freelancers who didn’t miss the chance are also convinced that the long-distance support is their friend and bite their teeth.
It was only natural for the battle to prolong.
And finally, Hina’s voice arrived through the four earphones.
[Prepare.]
A slightly excited voice, unlike hers I’ve ever seen.
But Lennok didn’t miss the faint fear mixed in between.
[Only once after 10 seconds. Support arrives at this spot. Then the match ends.]
“What the hell kind of bullshit…!!”
Five seconds passed between the words, and the person with the flame power shouted in tears, but three seconds.
And before the remaining two seconds had passed, something appeared from the distant sky.
Wedge love liquid…!!
A graceful noise piercing the wind.
It is a single black flash of light that loftily looks down on the ground while swimming in a dignified yet elegant appearance.
Lennok silently raised his head to confirm the identity of the ‘support’.
The widespread sense of magical power sharply captures the target.
The length is well around 8m. Diameter is 10 cm.
What is wrapped around it is magical power as black as jet black. However, unlike the black magicians, far from being sticky, they are infinitely chaste and sterile.
A single spear that seemed to have been made by finely grinding the shadows.
‘No… Considering that it was shot this far, is it an arrow?’
Hyungung (玄弓).
Before I could fully understand the two letters passing through my head.
A black spear that flew several kilometers pierced the Trade Center.
Kwajijijijijik!!!
Squeeze and twist to pull out.
The moment it pierced the building, the black flashes unraveled like a skein of thread, covering and tying up the upper floors of the building in an instant.
The trade center has been transformed into a round sphere like a matchstick with a stick inserted into it.
Lenok confirmed that and shook his head as Hina’s voice rang through his earphones.
[Agent Evelyn Marcia’s assistance arrives.]
[Successful capture of the enemy. Operation complete.]
widely!
Lennok, who roughly tossed the rifle in his hand to the ground, stood up.
He extinguished the burning tobacco and took out a new one.
His gaze was still on the Trade Center.
The expression is indifferent, but the thoughts swirling inside are very complicated.
‘Eveline Marcia… I thought it was a monster, but it’s beyond my imagination.’
I guessed it to some extent when I had the nickname black bow, but I never thought it would be this much.
It is surprising that a sniper shot from a distance of several kilometers was successful in just one attempt, but the target occupied the entire space rather than a single designation.
It’s a technology that’s hard to believe even if you see it yourself.
An application technique that cannot even be attempted without her innate psychic powers, her terrifyingly sophisticated magic manipulation ability, and a vast image that encompasses all of them.
I couldn’t even feel her presence, but I’m sure.
Evelyn Marcia was indeed a superhuman who deserved equal treatment with the crocodile giant.
‘I have to go up quickly.’
Even when he sees the skill of the monster, which is now just distant, what Lennok feels is not fear or awe, but thorough analysis and evaluation.
And just a little admiration.
Although they have a cooperative relationship for a while, it is meaningless to clearly distinguish peers on this floor.
If he had seen a high level of power, it was right to prepare for the moment when the arrowhead would point at him and to devote himself.
Breathing out lightly the smoke that filled his lungs, he moved towards the stairs.
In any case, today’s work is done.
All that remains is to calculate performance and compensation.
And I was just preparing to listen to what I had to do in the next operation.
