Genius Wizard Takes Medicine [EN]: Chapter 166

Lenok easily lifted it and muttered, looking into the magazine.

“They modified it to be compatible with various calibers of ammunition. That must have cost a fortune…”

[It is determined that such modifications using combined techniques are possible. Perhaps he is the type to invest that much in his equipment.]

“Hmm.”

Feeling a bit sorry for him, Lenok cast a simple sleep spell on the hairy man.

There was no need for him to know what was about to happen, so it might be better for him to just sleep soundly.

Leaving the rear cabin and passing by the bewildered passengers, Lenok immediately opened the train’s exit.

Kwaaaah!

Along with the cold dawn wind rushing into the cabin, the sound of the train speeding along the tracks echoed loudly.

Only the blurry scenery of the prairie flashing by in the darkness was faintly visible.

“Wait a minute, what are you doing?”

“Are you crazy? Close the door quickly!!”

“There are weird guys targeting this train right now!!”

It seemed that some of the passengers were capable of sensing magic, as they had roughly grasped the situation.

However, Lenok, who had already realized that none of them would be of any help, ignored the words from behind and stepped out of the door.

“Are you planning to jump off a moving train!”

“Ha, but that might actually be a better chance of survival.”

“Are you out of your mind?!”

Leaving those who were making strange assumptions behind, Lenok did not hesitate and threw himself out of the train.

Paat!

At the same time, using the magic threads attached to the train’s ceiling, he stabilized his body while casting a levitation spell on his coat, lifting his entire body upwards.

Thud!

“Ugh…!!”

He rolled around clumsily because he couldn’t land properly, but Lenok managed to get onto the train’s roof.

Davi didn’t say anything even after seeing Lenok’s clumsy roll. It was the spirit’s small consideration.

It was a bit unsightly due to his poor motor skills, but he had achieved his initial goal.

Lenok immediately pulled out dozens more magic threads, firmly securing himself to the train’s roof, and then shouldered the rifle he was holding.

Click!

“Davi, please prioritize targets for firing.”

[Assigning numbers to 37 life signs approaching from beyond 300m behind. 17 are approaching from the lower left of the train. 20 are approaching from the upper right at a speed of 70km/h.]

Dudududu…!!

A faint exhaust sound could be heard from afar.

He knew it as soon as he heard it. It was a motorcycle.

[They’re coming.]

Buaaaang!!

No sooner had Davi finished speaking than dozens of motorcycles appeared from behind the train, pushing through the darkness.

Perhaps to avoid leaving traces, they didn’t even turn on their headlights, revealing a glimpse of their meticulousness.

Seeing them speeding up without any hesitation, it seemed they hadn’t yet noticed Lenok on the train’s roof.

Should he take care of the ones trying to get close to the train first?

He brought his eye to the scope and naturally drew up his magic power.

[Aim Assist]

[Precision Shot]

[Impact]

Wiiiiiing…

The sensation of magic rotating inside the gun was different.

Perhaps because it was a custom-made product, it seemed to have a higher magic conductivity than any other gun Lenok possessed.

The rifle, which had absorbed three types of shooting assistance magic in an instant, began to glow dimly and hum softly.

Lenok immediately aimed at the first motorcycle trying to smash the train door with a blunt object in his hand.

Feeling the cold night wind, he pulled the trigger.

An unfamiliar recoil caught his finger, and at the same time, the muzzle spat fire.

Train (3)

Fire.

Taang!!

He accurately hit the first rider who was about to smash the door with a powerful swing of his arm.

As if struck by an invisible fist, he fell off his motorcycle.

At the same time, the skidding motorcycle bounced backward, hindering the approach of others following behind.

Other riders quickly dodged the fallen motorcycle, but Lenok was faster to clench his fist.

“Davi.”

[Bbaang.]

Kwaaaang!!

The motorcycle that had fallen in the middle of the pursuers exploded accurately. Instantly, more than five pursuers were engulfed in flames.

“…!!”

It seemed that the flames that had risen in the darkness had jolted them awake, as the motorcycle riders all looked up at Lenok at once.

Lenok ignored their murderous gazes and immediately reloaded his bullet and pulled the trigger.

Taang!!

In an instant, the helmet of one rider who was coming alongside was shattered, and blood flowed out.

This time as well, the driver fell, and the motorcycle crashed.

However, unlike before, the other pursuers had created a distance of at least ten meters, and in the meantime, the train was speeding up again.

“…”

Only then did the riders realize Lenok’s intentions and quickly exchanged glances.

Kill one approaching to explode the out-of-control motorcycle.

If hit, the loss would be several times greater. If they dodge, it would be impossible to pursue.

They didn’t know what method was being used, but the moment the motorcycle lost control, it was overloading and exploding.

Then, what was the countermeasure?

The pursuers came to a conclusion in an instant.

Click!! Kagagak!!

The riders on the motorcycles simultaneously took out their equipment, and their murderous intent began to target Lenok.

Lenok, sensing the intense fighting spirit that could be felt even on his skin, smiled wryly.

“This is all as expected… but I don’t know how quickly Kasia will return.”

In the end, the most important thing was to protect the train until it reached the autonomous territory.

He had even resorted to obvious tricks to turn the pursuers’ attention this way, but it was not easy for Lenok alone to completely protect the train.

He was better than anyone at annihilating enemies without worrying about his surroundings.

However, was it possible to fully protect the train’s operational capabilities and fend off dozens of magic users while on a train moving so fast?

He couldn’t say it was impossible, but it was an issue that Lenok also needed to approach with some caution.

Using the domain was something he had to think about carefully.

The magic control he gained with the magnetic domain was an incredibly powerful weapon, but the powerful exhaustion that came as a backlash was so overwhelming that it could even render Lenok temporarily unable to fight.

As a result, even in the battle with the exploration team, Dylan and Mila hadn’t faced Irina because of the backlash immediately after deploying the magnetic domain.

Even as he was organizing his thoughts, the situation continued to unfold.

In that short time, as if they had exchanged their intentions, dozens of motorcycles simultaneously increased their speed and began to close the distance with the train.

At the same time, on both sides of the train, the two motorcycles at the very front each sharply turned their handlebars and tilted their vehicles.

Normally, this was an action that should never be done during a pursuit. Rather, it would only become an obstacle hindering those following behind.

But what happened next was far beyond even Lenok’s expectations.

Buaaaang!!

The two motorcycles at the very front created an artificial slope by tilting their vehicles perfectly.

Using those vehicles as a platform, more than a dozen motorcycles following behind soared high into the sky in succession.

“…!!”

Lenok’s mouth fell open at the near-acrobatic driving skills of jumping into the air using their allies’ vehicles as a springboard.

He had faced all sorts of superhumans, but it was the first time he had seen this kind of technique right in front of him.

He was captivated by the flashy technique, but there was only one reason why they had gone to the trouble of performing such acrobatics to jump onto the top of the train.

They were thinking of killing Lenok, who was interfering with all of this, and then chasing their target.

One of the riders, who had taken out a shotgun from behind the motorcycle that had jumped up against the moonlight, shouted loudly.

“Die, you bastard!!”

The buckshot, fired with a desperate shout, was blocked by the shield that Lenok had raised and disappeared.

“It was fun to watch, but floating in the air is a mistake.”

Lenok quickly connected magic threads to the four motorcycles floating in the air and then contracted the lines.

“Ughhhhh!!”

The four motorcycles that collided in mid-air were smashed to pieces and turned into huge chunks of metal.

[Magnetic Control]

Immediately after, the scrap metal, mixed with the riders’ corpses and transformed into a giant screw shape, was shot down towards the bottom of the train.

Towards the other riders who were trying to speed up towards the front of the train, taking advantage of Lenok’s gaze.

Kwaaaang!!

The chunks of metal crushed three motorcycles that were in the lead and scattered into the air.

Lenok, who had confirmed control over all the metals with the magnetism he had gained using magic, stretched out his hand and muttered.

“If you were just trying to draw attention with this, it’s not enough.”

Paang!!

Parts, screws, and bolts that had flown out of the motorcycles ricocheted indiscriminately, piercing other intact motorcycles and tearing through the riders’ flesh.

The pursuers, who were desperately trying to increase their speed, began to fall without being able to resist the metal projectiles piercing their bodies.

“Hwaaaak!!”

“It hurts, it hurts!!”

It might be unexpected, but people don’t easily think that the tools they hold will turn around and stab their owners.

Lenok had always preferred to catch his opponents off guard when engaging in battle, but recently he had been feeling that tendency even more keenly.

Especially in this rough and shady city, there was a tendency to trust the equipment in one’s hand more than anyone else.

He had to know how to take advantage of that tendency, but conversely, he couldn’t let himself forget that fact by being swept away by it.

While he was organizing his thoughts, the man who had fallen at Lenok’s feet coughed up blood and laughed.

“Cough!! Hehe, this isn’t the end… Don’t think you can escape the biker gang’s pursuit so easily…!!!”

“Biker gang, huh…”

Did they want to brag to everyone that they were guys who rode motorcycles?

It was a gang that used a very straightforward name.

Lenok slowly pushed the man off the train’s roof with his foot and replied.

“I know.”

Kooong!

If the biker gang was really trying to target Kasia by doing this, it was normal for there to be additional forces.

No matter how much Kasia was from a research lab and not used to combat, and her body was quite weak, a head-on firefight would be a burden.

If they wanted to finish the job without any casualties, it wouldn’t be strange for other forces to be waiting.

And if the information that Kasia was heading to the autonomous territory at this moment had been leaked…

‘It wouldn’t be strange for them to be waiting ahead of the train.’

“There!!”

Just then, Kasia, who had apparently returned from the engineer, was heard calling out to Lenok, sticking her head out of the window.

Kasia looked around the train and then looked up at the roof with a bewildered expression and asked.

“Did you really already take care of all the pursuers?”

“It seems that you were coming too leisurely, so it turned out that way.”

“…I’m sorry about that. But there was a reason why the conversation got long.”

“Tell me.”

Kasia said with a serious face.

“We need to stop the train right now.”

“Why?”

“I just received a message from the engineer. The relay station located near the fork in the road to the autonomous territory has been attacked.”
