Drug-Eating Genius Mage

“Heo-eok, hee-eok!!”

Scavenger District 43’s branch manager, Yard Marlingson, thought while frantically moving his feet.

‘How did this happen?’

As always, it was a simple task.

It’s just that much of putting a number tag on an unknown cargo, moving it to the railway station, and receiving the freight charge.

It’s been quite a while since the city government’s inspections ended, but the stiff atmosphere on this street still hasn’t gone away.

Wasn’t that why he had been taking care of himself and taking on only the things that seemed safe even if he got caught?

Of course, in the process, he killed a few passers-by and looted a nearby store, but that was at the level of aegyo compared to what he had done so far.

Today, after receiving the money, I was thinking of drinking a lot and washing away the bloody smell at the club in the 40th district with the guys below.

Until a skinny man shows up and ruins everything.

Kwaaaang!!

The barricades built up with all sorts of props were broken, and the scavengers who had been robbing the door in front of them became chunks of meat and flew into the air.

“Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!”

“A freak monster!!”

“A madman is here!!”

Before they got here, dozens of scavengers couldn’t even leave a body properly.

A blue flash of light covered my eyes.

Pajijik!!

Those who confidently took their tools and went out to attack the opponent could not stand the lightning strike on their heads and turned to ashes in an instant.

The power of the Scavenger 43 branch, which was close to hundreds of people, was destroyed.

The power of the scavenger, who rushed like a swarm of ants in front of the magician who could freely cast lightning in his hand, had no effect whatsoever.

Doo doo doo!!

As soon as he saw the lightning that was running through the air split into dozens of pieces and poured down like rain, Yad gave up everything and ran away.

“The Great Captain…!!”

“You traitor!!”

Ignoring the desperate screams coming from behind, I run like crazy.

He inhaled greedily, not paying attention to the acrid smell that stung his nose.

“Hehehehehehehehehehe…!!”

Even while salivating, the feet do not stop.

Fearing that he might be pursued, he struggled to get away from the station somehow, changing the direction he ran.

“

When I thought I had run away enough, my body, which had been tense, was rapidly relaxed, and fatigue hit me.

Yard grabbed his throbbing chest and sat down slowly against the wall to catch his breath.

‘They must all be dead.’

To attack at once during the time when magic is chanted, or to find a way if everyone approaches.

The subordinates said such pretentious things, but it was all bullshit.

Yard knew very well who the skinny mage who commanded the lightning was.

The culprit who has recently been gaining popularity most rapidly in the 40th district.

It was not enough to receive scouts from dinosaur companies such as Dyke Corporation, but there was a supernova that was receiving love calls from elite organizations such as agents.

Not long after he started working as a freelancer, there were rumors that everyone did not know that he killed the head of the Scavenger District 50 single-handedly.

Except for his stupid men who had just been roasted by lightning.

“To think I was working with those bastard idiots who couldn’t even recognize their faces…”

Yad raised his wobbly legs as he spat out a low curse.

He doesn’t even reach the toes of that crazy wizard, but he is a skilled magic user in his own way as he is in charge of the scavenger branch.

It would be suicidal to fight head-on, but he had a knack for running away with his foolish comrades as a shield.

“I just need to live. If only I could live…”

There is a hole in the body that can survive somehow.

In fact, most of Branch 43’s power has been lost, but trash to replace scavengers is scattered all over the city.

If you come up with a suitable excuse, send a report to the leadership, and the yard directly replenishes the number of people with holes, the upper level won’t have a problem.

Scavengers were an organization that operated that way in the first place.

It was proof that Yad Manningson understood these hyena-like slugs just as well.

The moment Yard, who took a slow breath, tried to raise his body.

The sound of slow footsteps coming from behind.

“………”

Has it already caught up? What about other loads?

no need to think they’re all already dead

The moment he realized that running away was impossible, Yad’s body moved instinctively.

Pajijik…!!

The moment I lowered my stance and turned my body around, a flash of light passed my cheek.

Before I even realized that I had escaped death by a single piece of paper, I rushed at him and pulled out a dagger from within.

The sword he received as a price for saving the old blood mage’s life a long time ago was an ominous object stained with blood, but Yard remembered what the old man said while praying for his life.

The fruit of human sacrifice made by grinding whole human bones and flesh. Although it is only once, it contains the essence of blood magic that can completely nullify the opponent’s magic.

If only I could pierce the lightning it emits and dig into its arms…!!

I open my eyes wide with the best concentration and earnestness of my life.

come.

A ray of blue light that ravaged the retina.

Before I even felt it approaching, I reached out my hand.

I was sure before I even stretched my arms all the way out.

Cut out.

Awesome!!

A faint bow found among the backwaters of lightning, where not even a handful of gaps could be seen.

There is no longer any hatred or anger on the face of Yad as he advances towards the gap narrower than the eye of a needle.

Above all else, there is only a wholesome desire to improve toward life.

Beyond the lightning that was cut off in the trance, the vision returns to normal again.

Facing the blunt muzzle of the shotgun, Yard blinked his eyes.

“…..what?”

Kwaaaang!!

The shotgun that the skinny wizard held in his hand wasn’t bullets.

A shockwave like a cannon ball.

His body collapsed to the floor so pointlessly that all the options Yad risked his life to find were colorless.

Realizing that the whole lower body had been blown away was the moment the cold air of the railway station started to sting the intestines.

Wizard Lennok looked down at Yard’s twitching face.

“It was good concentration.”

“Haha… Fuck.”

Realizing that there was no odds from the start, Yard smiled dejectedly.

this is a foul

To think that a wizard who scatters such powerful lightning could even carry a shotgun of such unbelievable power.

There is a degree to being careful. As always, the world has added more.

Would the story have been different if that weapon had been held in Yad’s hand?

From now on, it doesn’t really matter.

Yard murmured as he slowly closed his eyes.

“I cut the lightning…”

In the last moment of his life, he goes to sleep reciting achievements that no one has achieved.
