Drug-Eating Genius Mage
Chapter 317

Metamorphosis (2)

Wooooooooooong!!

[Director Zelic is beginning to exert his strength.]

Unlike the reactor, which had lost communication, contact with Felix, who was still confronted at the back gate of the fortress, was safe.

[We are looking for the person who created this thunderbolt. They must be planning to get away from us and head inside the fort. I’ll try to tie my feet here as much as possible.]

Felix continued without waiting for Lennok’s answer.

[If a talented person like him tries to get out of the seat with all his might, it won’t be easy to catch his feet. It might be difficult to contact them from now on.]

“… … .”

[I’ll leave the rest up to you.]

Pop!!

At the same time as the communication stopped with those words, the collision of magical powers felt from the lower deck became much more violent.

Felix, who is a key executive in the Antares office and has completed the hierarchy with his powerful body, began to clash with Director Jelicich with all his might.

Lennok lifted his gaze without a word, feeling the power of that magic with his whole body.

Gate 8 is still firmly closed despite this uproar. But there are no more Barclays and commanding officers left to hinder Lennok.

The only thing left is for Lennok to go inside the fortress himself, see the truth of all this with his own eyes, and successfully capture the fortress.

There was no time to hesitate.

“Shall we go?”

Clap!

A rechargeable shotgun in Lennok’s hand at the same time as turning his wrist.

The barrel of the shotgun filled with heavy mana radiated intense light, and at the same time as he pulled the trigger, the thick iron door of the gate was bent like a piece of paper.

Kwaaaaang!!

One more step.

Aaaaaaaaaaaa!!

Two rechargeable magic bullets amplified by the 8-stack shooting auxiliary magic burst.

It was impossible for the empty gate to withstand the power that would turn even the body of a person with physical abilities into meat.

The iron doors that were firmly closed on both sides shrank, allowing a gap in the center for one person to pass through.

At the same time as Lennok pushed himself through the narrow gap, the guards waiting inside the gate hallway started pulling their triggers in unison.

Tatatatatatatatatatang!!!

“Shoot!!!”

“Kill the wizard!!”

“We have to block it right here, stay alert and maintain the front line… … !!”

Woooo!!

There was no desperation from the guards.

This is because the unidentified carapace that came down suddenly blocked the entire gate corridor and deflected all the bullets.

“This is… … ?”

At the moment the guard holding the rifle stammered, huge flames flowed out from between the carapaces and filled the corridor.

Using the heat wave bursting from behind as a stepping stone, the carapace blocking the corridor moved forward like a bulldozer.

The outer shell that made up the body of Apostle Walter. Its durability is overwhelming enough to be difficult to melt even with the flames of Lennok’s magnetic realm.

A pile of carapaces of unbelievable durability and weight moves forward, crushing the guards into pieces.

Eugeo support!!!

A grotesque sound of flesh and muscle bursting and a desperate scream erupted.

“Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!”

“Step back!! I can’t stop it!!”

“Save me!!!”

The pursuit of the pile of carapaces pushing heavily from behind the movements slowed down by the continuous heat wave.

The guards somehow tried to replace an escape route and run back, but it was not enough.

In an instant, Lennok, who wiped out the guards waiting near the gate, moved forward without hesitation.

As long as Major General Barclay, who commanded the inside of the fortress, dies and other generals and colonels struggle, there is no one capable of stopping Lennok.

Gearside modified guards surrounded Lennok and tried their best to somehow stop them heading to the control room.

It was only burned and exploded while being pierced by the spear of thunder and lightning that appeared behind Lennok.

Kwagwagwagwa!!

A huge wave of flame spread like a wave and swelled along the gradually widening corridor.

In the meantime, the flashing light became a sharp dagger, piercing the vital points of the guard convulsing in flames and tearing the superman’s body apart.

A few of them, full of will and talent, broke through the fierce firepower and ran towards Lenok, but the shotgun and revolver barrels rotated alternately, and even the last resistance was completely subdued.

“Aaaaagh!!”

“The Lord is dying… … !”

“Did you still have this much energy left? … !!”

“How can I deal with the warden!!”

Desperate deaths resounding here and there. Perhaps they, too, were waiting inside the fort watching the battle between Lennok and Barclay.

Spacious joint located at the end of the hallway. Near the central corridor leading to various places in the fortress.

Originally, it was a space prepared to periodically convene and check the strength of the defense forces working in the fortress and issue work instructions.

But now, the waves of fire that Lenok had lit endlessly rolled over, melting and stirring indiscriminately in all directions.

A vortex of violently rotating flames. Standing in the center, Lennok raises his head and looks at the road leading in all directions.

Darby, who noticed Lennok’s intentions, immediately helped.

[The central staircase on the 3rd floor of the fortress corridor. It’s the shortest way to the control room.]

“Yes. Confirmed. Only the passage leading there is protected from magical interference.”

Raising his head, Lennok’s eyes shone coldly.

As it is, I spurt up the stairs in the middle of the corridor on the third floor and knock on the door of the tightly closed control room.

The pitch-black hand extending beneath Lennok’s shadow grabbed the gap in the door and forcibly twisted it open.

I’m going to have a good time… … !!

The door to the control room was much stronger than the previous gate 8, but unlike before, Lennok didn’t break it with his shotgun.

If the facilities existing in the fortress control room are damaged due to the wrong shock, it is the same as the end of the story.

That’s why they use shadow magic to squeeze the cracks in the door, materialize them, and forcibly open the cracks.

“Ughhhh… … .”

“please please… … .”

“Commander… … !!”

Terrified voices came through the door of the control room that slowly opened.

Are they the officers who have been watching and controlling all this situation in the control room of the fortress until now?

Hearing the voice, Lenok raised his mana even more, but the tightly closed door to the control room was locked with multiple locks, making it difficult to open it by force.

Hey hey hey!!!

Lennok thought in front of the control room, where a constant twisting noise reverberated.

“It’s easy to break it with force, but it’s hard to open the door without shocking it.”

[The door to the control room is completely independent of the fortress system. There isn’t much room for me to intervene.]

“I can’t drag it out for a long time.”

Lennok frowned slightly.

“As long as they realized my existence, the other commanders will try to run away from allied forces and run towards me.”

And following him, Illya and Felix will also try to enter the fortress from different sides.

If the confusion increases, there is a risk of missing Vice Admiral Treppen and Gearside.

[What are you going to do?]

Lennok didn’t think long.

“I learned useful skills from Aris.”

When I unlocked the archive with Aris, I applied the trick I learned over my shoulder.

The grip of the shadow flowed as if it were melting and dug into the lock inside the door.

Hey profit!!

I reconstructed the movement of the flowing shadows and the changes in the magic array that I felt into a three-dimensional blueprint in my head.

Analyze and understand the principle of the control room lock made of 8 layers in an instant. From the bottom upside down, we touch on the sophisticated operating principle.

Darby flinched at the sight of Lennok moving the shadow and unlocking the device backwards without a single mistake or hesitation.

[Is this possible because you learned it over your shoulder?]

“If you can remember and picture the structure in your head, it’s not impossible.”

Lennok replied without hesitation.

“The important thing is to flip the structure you remember and draw it in the complete opposite direction.”

Charrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Contrary to earlier, the sound of elaborate gears being loosened from the inside of the door.

Realizing what the sound meant, the officers screamed.

“No no!!”

“The central system interference was completely blocked!!”

“Aaaaa!!!”

Koo Goo Goo!!

All of the last 8 locks are unlocked and the door to the control room slowly opens. The officers with pale faces trembled.

Some people are sitting there crying incontinently, while others are just muttering something with a bewildered expression.

They may be good at commanding a fortress, but they are not so good at fighting skills or experience.

Tueok!!

Asked Lennok, who grabbed and lifted the tearful officer by the collar with a magician.

“Lieutenant General Treffen. Where are you now?”

“that that… … ”

“Answer me.”

“To the office inside the control room… … From yesterday… … Don’t let anyone in… … black!!”

The officer’s face shuddered and shed tears. However, what is felt in that expression is not the fear of death.

Despair for the coup d’état, which risked all the safety and status of the National Guard, to end in vain.

Those who were closest to Treffen’s final instructions must have already guessed their outcome.

“… … .”

I released the magician and put down the secretary’s body.

Lennok ignored them and headed straight into the control room.

Dozens of monitors popping up everywhere. Thousands of wires that run inside are intricately twisted. Through one glass window, the view of the lowest floor of the fortress comes into view.

And the commander’s office, furthest inside the control room.

Quaang!!

Lennok frowned as he smashed the door down without hesitation with shock magic and rushed inside.

A bed awkwardly placed in the middle of an empty office.

The old man was lying on a bed that stood at an angle, his eyes closed and foaming at his mouth.

Beneath his gray hair, all the veins on his forehead were bursting, and the black bloodstains that flowed from his eyes and nose covered his face.

A star hanging from the epaulettes of the military uniform he was wearing. Dozens of thick plug wires plugged into the back of the neck.

There is only one possibility that you can think of if you look at the status and background of being in this position now.

The fortress commander that all allies have been searching for with all their might. Lieutenant General Treffen had completely stopped breathing.

Pod!

Despite the unexpected scenery, Lennok did not hesitate.

Immediately, he unplugged all the wires connected to the back of the lieutenant general’s head and turned to the inside to wink at Darby.

Despite recognizing the risk of physically pulling out the wires, he thought he had to prevent the work from proceeding as intended by the lieutenant general.

Darby jumped up in his arms and clung to the broken wire behind the lieutenant general’s neck, interrupting the signal and immediately shaking his head.

[Signal Lost. I don’t feel any electrical stimulation. There is nothing from the body’s life reaction, nor from the connected wires.]

Lennok, who grasped the situation in an instant, frowned.

“You are dead. That too after quite a while.”

[Rigidity after death has fully progressed, but is gradually being released. If you estimate the time of death, it’s enough a day ago. Twenty hours have passed at any rate.]

Lennok counted the time quickly and frowned.

“It’s before we even materialize the entry route. To be specific, right after we arrived in the city… … . It’s way too early to give the odds.

[Couldn’t it be that he failed to remodel his body unlike the others?]

Darby said.

[Lieutenant General Treppen’s body is very strong, but he is a very old man. There is a possibility that the considerable age may have been a problem.]

It is not an improbable guess.

In fact, the fact that Lieutenant General Treffen’s corpse remains here proves his end.

But Lennok looked blankly at Treffen’s corpse and shook his head.

“… … No, if he did, Barclay couldn’t have said that before he died. The lieutenant general died less than 20 hours ago. It’s ridiculous that the other wardens didn’t know about this.”

[then… … .]

“The tilt of this bed could be… … .”

Lennok strode over to the bed and opened Treffen’s chest.

A well-built, muscular upper body despite his advanced age. However, that is why the hole in the center of the chest stands out even more bizarrely.

Even Davi muttered in a startled tone.

[He doesn’t have a heart.]

“This is what Barclay meant.”

Lennok murmured.

“Lieutenant General Treffen did not choose body modification like the other wardens. He did it with the intention of abandoning his own body and changing into a new body entirely.”

[that is… … Is this possible for life?]

“It’s clear that only the heart was taken out. He must have been thinking of reconstructing the body by recovering only some of the most important vital organs. Maybe… … .”

said Lennok, who slowly raised his head.

“Maybe he’s already been revived and is watching us.”

[That was the only chance given to me.]

Aaaaaaah!!

At the same time as he said that, dozens of monitors that had been shining everywhere began to emit light at once.
