#The Medicine-Eating Genius Wizard Episode 850

Takeover (18)

Whitestone National Park, located between Districts 35 and 36.

A secluded factory located a short distance from the hidden laboratory between the borders of the area.

A power generation facility built to produce and supply electricity throughout the national park.

Thousands of meters away from the facility, hundreds of troops surrounded and besieged the facility.

Clack, clap!!

The sound of the cannon’s activation with built-in magical power could be heard from everywhere, and the tone of voice that was extremely low was quickly coming and going through the communication network.

Soldiers wearing exosuits that were worn all over the body lined up and surrounded the power plant.

“Hmm… … .”

A red-haired woman hiding in a bush a little ahead of him tilted her head with a puzzled expression.

The woman who had been staring at the distant facility for a long time asked, picking up the light red visor that had been put down at her feet.

“Are you sure it’s over there?”

“In measured horsepower, that’s for sure.”

The boy, still young, answered with a puzzled expression.

“It’s almost certain that you can’t discern the magic pattern at all. It’s a level that I don’t even intend to hide in the first place.”

“… … .”

The boy muttered with a wry smile.

“It doesn’t matter if we intervene or not… … .”

“Theo. Watch your mouth.”

The young man standing next to the boy spoke calmly.

“Maybe you are listening. It will be late after lightning strikes over your head.”

“Ugh… … .”

“The distance from here to the power plant is over 6km. You might still be listening?”

The yellow visor asked absurdly. Voices without voice modification flowed naturally over the helmet.

The young man looked back at his yellow visor and replied.

“He is famous for his poor health, but he is a wizard with a sensitive sense that goes beyond that. You would have been caught right away.”

“… … yes. They immediately recognized my slaughter ceremony and laughed at it.”

The yellow visor nodded with a heavy expression for a moment.

“I couldn’t answer properly. I was afraid rather than angry… … .”

“He is a madman who cannot stop fighting even with a chronic disease. It’s nothing strange.”

The jade-colored visor, who was standing in the rear with his arms folded, comforted him with a soft voice.

“The city council is speculating that the dog’s health may be much worse than thought. But I think the reason he continues to be on the front line has something to do with the way he transcended the hierarchy.”

“I am not crazy. You mean you can only maintain the status quo if you go looking for a fight?”

“It’s speculation in the report, nothing certain. However, there is no doubt that the fastness will be broken, just like monsters that have transcended the hierarchy.”

“… … .”

There was a tense air between the members of the Aegis.

An archmage who can only maintain his sanity through madness close to destruction.

They realized that the wizard they might have to deal with from now on is a monster more dangerous than any superhuman.

“No matter what happens, we must prevent the leakage of the core technology of the laboratory. In particular, if the project that was secretly researched at the research center falls into the hands of the dog, then everyone will not be able to avoid responsibility.”

“Ha, I don’t like dog death… … .”

Not all members of Aegis serve the noble mission of protecting the city.

The reason why they entered the special agency is that most of them are deals based on personal circumstances, so they can’t avoid orders.

It’s not that he hesitates because he’s afraid to die fighting. It is unwilling to let death be consumed without any meaning.

You have to dive into it, not to win, but to lose even a little later.

And to hinder opponents who can never win even if they die and wake up.

In a gloomy mood, the green visor tapped the man standing next to him on the shoulder.

“Hey, Druid. Don’t stand so idly by, say something.”

“… … .”

A tall man with a height of over 190 cm, wearing an animal skin hood, glared at the green visor.

The green visor nodded indifferently.

“I heard you had a fight with Kyeon-roe earlier. Do you have any facts or feelings to tell us?”

“… … The bastard’s lightning.”

After thinking for a moment, the druid, Ifasa muttered.

“Don’t get hit. It hurts.”

“Is that the end?”

The other crew members who were looking at Ifasa muttered absurdly.

“The lightning class is the fastest magic in the pure magic system, excluding light magic. It is virtually impossible to avoid them all.”

“I’d rather teach you how to fit without hurting.”

“I don’t know about that.”

Ifasa said, scratching her head with an annoyed expression.

“The moment I was struck by lightning, the basis of the spell was shaken. I could feel my consciousness breaking.”

“… … what?”

Ifasa sneered lightly and turned her head.

“Since I, who doesn’t use magical powers, was at that level, you ordinary people won’t be able to withstand it.”

“Um… … .”

Realizing the meaning of those words, the Aegis crew fell silent for a moment.

If the druid, who uses natural magic, felt that way, the end that the magic user would face would be obvious.

“As expected, should we wait until black comes?”

“No, there is no time. He must be planning to use it to restore data starting with the kidnapping of Professor Hayward and Raphael. If those two stick together, the results will come soon.”

Professor Raphael is not only not a resident of Balkan, but he is also one of the foremost authorities in the analysis of magic theory.

“It is not that there is no way. If we forcibly cut off the power supply to the facility, we might delay the plan.”

“Infiltrates the power plant, damages the power unit, and rescues the professor by observing the situation according to the reaction of the dog.”

“Never fight head-on. It is premised on running away the moment you encounter it.”

At the blue briefing, the other members of the crew immediately got up and stood up.

At that moment, the members of the Aegis gathered in one place quickly surrounded the power plant and distanced themselves from each other.

Whoop!!

Hiding between the shadows of trees and the swaying bushes, they infiltrate the power plant by different paths.

dismissal… … !!

The moment I entered the factory, I heard a faint noise in my ears, but no one had time to pay attention.

[Start!]

Dig!!

The moment they entered the power plant, the crew started running in different directions in the factory.

It raises mana with full power, strengthens the body, and opens the senses wide.

It accepts all the information seen and felt around the facility with its whole body, and selects only the optimal judgment for the success of the operation and transmits it through communication.

[This is far from the power department. I will move and attract the eyes of the dog.]

[Waiting garrison call completed. I’ll back in and block the road.]

[I’m close to the power department. I went first-!!]

Dozens of messages cross over the communication network in an instant, and all of that communication is converted into meaningful action.

quiet hallway. A control device for a facility that runs without a single guard.

The moment when the crew members, who had been quietly walking under the wires densely packed into the ceiling and walls, and slowly closing the distance, raised their magic all at once.

Kwaaaaang!!!

At that moment, communication was cut off with a roar that shook the entire factory.

Eerie static electricity that makes your skin tingle. A stinging sensation that made your hair stand on end and your chest tremble.

The moment when the crew members who fell all over the power plant suddenly turned their attention to an inexplicable ominous sense of déjà vu.

[Oh oh oh oh!!!!]

Waves of thunderbolt exploded with a majestic roar and penetrated the entire power plant.

Pajijijik!!!!

An illusion as if a huge lightning bolt had grabbed the entire facility and pulled it out.

The property of a tingling thunderbolt was given over the metallic barriers and steel plates, and in an instant, the entire facility was turned into a passageway and hall where current flows.

Woooooooooo!!!

Electric wires scattered everywhere were indiscriminately cut and shaken, and the sparks that burst out from the cross section came together and formed a specific shape.

Tsutsutsutsu!!

[…] … toad?]

[Thick, thick.]

A toad spirit that was born with the nature of lightning and swells its body by consuming all the power that rages in all directions.

Between the corridors and the lobby of the facility, dozens of toad spirits instantly increased, ignoring intruders and touching the cut wires in various places.

[Bulging.]

The figure of a toad spirit inflating itself by eating sparks coming out of wires.

The members of the team who were looking at it hurriedly reconnected the communication network and exchanged the information they had identified.

[It’s not a real spirit.]

[An elemental spirit that is randomly born in a space temporarily overflowing with attributes.]

[Nonsense. There was no such thing until just now!!]

[The solid has recognized our intrusion. No, maybe this is-]

At that moment, the toad spirits that ate power and grew in size from all sides began to emit intense lightning through my body.

Pajik, Pajik!!!

The impact shattered the ceiling and walls of the power plant on all sides, and the control devices and converters installed in various places were helplessly broken.

Kwaaang!!

[This, what is this… … .]

Far from protecting the power plant, he broke it himself and dropped the fragments at random.

All kinds of parts, including screws, steel plates, steel frames, and springs, helplessly fell to the floor, emitting noise, and began to be reassembled on the spot almost at the same time.

Charreuk!!

An army of steel that unites the broken parts to form a body, and stands up with lightning bolts.

Machine soldiers with blue eyes instead of eyes and assembled limbs quickly block the path to the facility.

Above the head, a curtain of thunderbolt covered all directions, and tingling currents bounced off the floor and walls, dyeing the factory blue.

Pajik, pajijik… … !!!

The flashing lightning fragments clumped together to form a mass, and scattered small thunderbolts indiscriminately as if they had their own will.

The lightning spirits and the army of steel created in an instant scattered their power indiscriminately, then all at once turned their attention to the Aegis crew.

In this hall of lightning, where strong currents flow, a hostile reaction as if an intruder had been found that shouldn’t exist.

[Over 300 artificial spirits and machine corps combined. It is estimated that there are more than 30 types of spells that are expressed through the medium of steel and electricity.]

[I can’t break through the barrier. Retreat the garrison. Open the communication network!!]

[Apply the lightning attribute. It is a spatial property change corresponding to the highest level.]

[no way… … .]

Faced with the lightning spirit and machine army, the members muttered in disbelief.

[From the beginning, I had no intention of using the facility’s power like this. rather-]

[You made the entire power plant your own fortress in that short time?]

* * *

“Good start.”

Kwaaang!!

Lennok murmured as he watched the exploding mechanical soldiers over the monitor.

Dozens of monitors located in the power plant control room.

It is a monitoring device made to monitor short circuits in the facility and overload in the power room, but now it only reflects the brutal beating of intruders.

An innumerable army of machines that stand up using parts made by Lenok himself as materials.

The lightning spirit created by altering the electricity in the power plant, and the curtain of lightning built with the entire facility within range.

Lightning strikes irregularly from all the screens projected on the monitor, and the thunderbolt fence violently rotates, restraining everything that moves.

Cuguaguagua!!!!

In the storm of lightning and steel, the members of the crew were swept helplessly without even being able to resist properly.

Noticing the abnormality, the druids and the army guarding the laboratory belatedly rushed in, but the situation did not change.

[Retreat, retreat!!]

[Don’t touch it, you’ll get an electric shock!!!]

[Everyone, take off your metal gear, cyborgs and prosthetic arm wearers, get away!!]

[No, the power of the trap-!!]

[Aaaaaaa!!]

Kwaaaaang!!

Desperate shouts and screams erupted from all sides of the monitor.

A soldier who collapses after being electrocuted and superhumans of a special agency trying to infiltrate the power department while running away.

A chaos unfolded throughout the facility between the ripples of lightning that was so dazzling that the pixels could not capture all of it.

Raphael, who was watching the horrors from behind, muttered behind his back, forgetting what he was doing.

“… … This is impossible.”

“What do you mean?”

Waves of lightning overflowing and densely covering the vast facility.

An overwhelming amount of light, as if the entire power plant was submerged in a sea of ​​lightning and slowly sinking.

It seemed like he would go blind just by watching, but Raphael didn’t take his eyes off the monitor at all.

Even on the way, his eyes were rapidly bloodshot, and he couldn’t hold back his curiosity, so he brought his face closer.

Raphael said with a bewitched expression.

“The electric power system’s magic conversion rate rapidly deteriorates in proportion to its power. No matter how much power is replaced, projecting such a change in nature in such a short period of time is unreasonable. At the speed of mana dispersal, absolutely-”

“It is not impossible.”

Lennok replied, coughing weakly as he leaned back in his chair.

Raphael shrugged his shoulders as if he had regained his reason, but Lennok ignored it and answered.

“There are beings who can do this purely with just one amount of magic power. Monsters who are not bound by the concept of changing the nature of magic or efficiency… … .”

“… … .”

There are monsters that are so overwhelming that even Lennok can’t catch up, purely based on the amount of mana possessed.

Originally, the amount of magical energy was a power that was affected by the time that had passed as much as that talent.

After reaching level 8, I had never been so obsessed with the absolute amount of magical power, but there were monsters that put even Lennok to shame.

Transcendentalists who ceased to be crazy and piled up endlessly for a time corresponding to dozens of times the time Lennok had lived.

If it were them, they would be able to wield a transcendental status against city-states, not just power facilities like this.

Raphael’s lips turned blue at those words he muttered.

A monster that even Kung-ro could talk about would not know what kind of status he had in this world.

“So what you said is wrong. That’s not what magic theory is. It is only a consequential study that proves real magic in the form of a theory, and it cannot contain all exceptions.”

“Isn’t that the same for other studies as well… … !!”

“The moment you forcibly destroy the hierarchy completed under the seven stages of self-modification and move forward, rules and classification lose their meaning.”

Lennok turned his gaze to the monitor.

“If you create your own rules by adding exceptions on top of exceptions… … You won’t even know what you set the standard for in the first place.”

“… … .”

“And the moment you forget the inner rules like that… … .”

said Lennok, who kicked the wires rolling under his feet.

“It doesn’t matter if it’s my own power to deal with or not.”

Turning the entire power plant into a fortress of lightning, Lennok consumed not even a handful of mana.

It was not Lennok that engulfed the entire fortress with lightning and electrocuted it, and created the lightning spirit and machine army, but a miracle achieved with the power stored in the power plant.

“That, that… … .”

Rafael also understood how Lennok had fortified the entire power plant, and his expression wriggled.

He couldn’t breathe, and he murmured, catching his breath.

“That is not human. Not even life.”

“… … .”

“At the point of thinking like that, can’t it already be defined as a living thing…? … ?”

“Maybe.”

Lennox readily agreed.

“Forgetting the boundary between things and myself is, in a sense, the same as losing the qualifications of a creature. This is the root cause of many superhumans who have reached level 8 being broken.”

“… … .”

What is the standard for distinguishing living things from non-living things?

For a superman who can materialize and handle his will, will is the standard.

But if I continue to deal with that standard outside of my body and mind, I tend to forget what I was.

To transcend the hierarchy and reach level 8 means to rule the concept itself as your own rule.

That’s probably why many of the superhumans who reached level 8 gave up on their humanity, or went crazy because they couldn’t hold on.

Raphael also seemed to agree with Lennok’s words, and kept his mouth shut with a gloomy expression.

It did not end with an explanation, but the demonstration that perfectly handled and showed the concept itself, which transcended the hierarchy, was quite powerful.

Lennok looked at Raphael like that and asked abruptly.

“Do you understand why I am telling you this?”

“… … ?”

“They put off the work they secretly asked them to do and looked around this way.”

Lennok gave an eerie grin at Raphael, who was looking at him with a curious expression.

“It meant that I had to finish everything I was told to do before I went mad with irritation.”

“Heh, heeup!!”

Raphael, who had immediately forgotten the serious atmosphere until now, quickly ran away.
