Genius Engineer in the Labyrinth - Chapter 397



Only Noblemtl

Dragon Cult (7)

A sailing ship appeared in the sky of Sansimon. It was over 150m long, and its sails emitted a blue light, giving it an overwhelming presence. In fact, the scenery around the sails was distorted.

A huge sinkhole formed where the sailboat had sunk, and it was so deep that the bottom could not be seen.

Philos shrugged his shoulders.

“There was a ship like that under the presidential palace?”

“···.”

No one answered because everyone was staring at the sailboat.

Alan’s eyes see more than anyone else’s. The dizziness is amplified by the swirling magic, but he can’t take his eyes off the sailboat.

‘It’s like a sun created by magic.’

The reason why the South Pole responded lukewarmly has been revealed. The decisive weapon existed in the basement of the Sansimon Presidential Palace, and their goal from the beginning was a sailing ship.

The torrent of tremendous power surrounding the sailing ship was so strong that even ordinary people could feel it. If the floating fortress, which resembled a collector’s metal top, had a multi-purpose feel, the sailing ship gave off a strong impression of being used for battle.

The decisive weapon is likened to a depth of 7, but its range of influence was far superior. With the appearance of the sailing ships, the probability of General Parma’s victory was close to zero. The army began to retreat.

Orc, a special agent from Soldos, attempted to communicate with a pale face. However, the moment the sailboat appeared, the magical field it emitted completely obscured the signal.

As soon as Alan got out of the helicopter, he turned his head to look at the scattered magic signals.

“I will help you.”

“What? …Please.”

The situation was so urgent that I thought about it for a moment and then accepted.

Alan pulled a cable from the helicopter’s internal mechanism. He brought it to the orc’s nape, and it flinched violently. He seemed to think of the dwarf lying on the ground, but soon accepted it.

The amplified signal pierced through the ship’s magic field. No matter how great the decisive weapon was, it could not cover the entire Sansimon.

“There seems to be room for exploration. Don’t be too intimidated by the name ‘Decisive Weapon.’”

“It’s possible because it’s you. If you asked any other magic engineer to do it, they’d give up right away.”

Nicola said, keeping his eyes fixed on the sailboat. In the meantime, the helicopter had landed. He didn’t know what would happen if he had been noticed by the sailboat.

Alan talked to Nicola and also secretly listened in on Orc’s communication. It was his right to help, so he did. He also needed to make sure the communication was working properly.

[Mountaineer here, please respond.]

[···The signal is bad. Amplification is needed···.]

[Emergency. A decisive weapon believed to belong to the South Pole has appeared in Sansimon. It is a blue-sailed sailing ship that is also equipped with flight capabilities.]

[···.]

The other party’s voice was cut off for a moment. Several people’s urgent voices mixed together and became a murmur, and then a deep voice took over the communication. The signal also became stronger due to Allen’s adjustment.

[Can you maintain communication?]

[Difficult…possible.]

When Allen nodded, Orc quickly changed his words and opened his eyes wide. He realized that he had been listening. Before he could say anything, a voice came rushing in.

[10 minutes. Make it stay in Sansimon somehow.]

[yes···?]

The orc made a dumbfounded sound for the first time. It was a natural reaction to see the scenery of Sansimon.

The sailing ships were engaged in a one-sided assault, a battle, or in fact, it would be a shame to call it a battle, with the army that had occupied most of the capital.

The gun ports opened, the cannons popped out, and the shells they fired were not solid chunks of metal, but flashes of blue light.

The appearance was brilliant, but the result was dismal. Where the light passed, only scattered ash remained. Even the screams were broken into small pieces.

A heavy military vehicle waiting outside Sansimon moved. The multiple rocket launchers on the back aimed at the sailboat. The missiles that shot out darkened the sky.

The cannon’s beam of light did nothing to deter the missiles. They stopped at a certain distance, then turned around and headed back towards the soldiers.

The orc gulped.

[Are you talking about that?]

[There are 9 minutes and 30 seconds left until the Stargate opens. Its use is also permitted. That’s it.]

When the other side cut off the communication, the orc stumbled. He barely managed to hold on by holding on to the inner wall of the helicopter.

“You heard, right?”

“Since they are so focused on the massacre, wouldn’t they stay for about 9 minutes? Until then, we should do our best to avoid it···.”

As soon as Alan spoke the ship turned around. The sails remained still, but the ship turned and moved forward.

‘That direction is···.’

The sailing ship had been shooting a pillar of light towards the Serpent Archipelago since it appeared, and was currently moving towards it.

The cannon continued to emit light. It wasn’t just aimed at the soldiers, but the entire Sansimon area was reduced to ruins.

The helicopter was also a natural target. I thought I had avoided it, but the sailboat’s flash fire refracted and flew in.

“It even has a guidance function.”

“Is it time to analyze?! Euaaaah!”

The helicopter performed rapid evasive maneuvers. It flew using all its rotating wings and the runes painted on its outer armor. Its shape, moving freely up, down, left, and right, looked just like a dragonfly.

As the flight became more violent, people’s bodies also shook violently. The orc held on to the wall and shouted.

“Subordinates, you must go to your subordinates!”

“Will there be a way if I go?”

“okay!”

Orc gave orders to his men using the helicopter’s signal amplification.

Unlike the slow-moving, destructive sailboats, the helicopters flew at top speed to the outskirts of the city.

As the helicopter sounded, Orc’s men rushed out onto the rooftop and waved. As the helicopter landed on the rooftop, the wind made the special agents’ clothes flutter. So did the large bags someone was carrying.

‘It’s a magic-destroying bullet. You must have hidden it somewhere and found it.’

If we estimate the magical power that Alan can see, the area of ​​influence would be about 1km in diameter.

Unlike fragmentation bombs, the annihilation bombs had no aftershock. While fragmentation bombs exploded through collisions between particles, annihilation bombs acted as their name suggests. To be exact, they did not annihilate, but rather froze the surrounding magical power, rendering it useless.

If you only touch Freeze, you may think it is a gentle weapon, but it is clearly a weapon of mass genocide. It freezes even the minimum magical power necessary for life activities.

Alan pointed to the bag.

“I bet you gave the order to capture that voice with that in mind as well?”

“You know what this is.”

“please.”

“···Are you crazy?”

“You’ve understated your words. Is there any way for Mr. Oak to approach the ship? If not, please give me some.”

“there is.”

“How are you going to fly into that sky? The timer will start beeping loudly before you even find the plane.”

“···.”

The orc, who had been hit hard, closed his eyes tightly. There were only 4 minutes left, and the sailboat gradually sped up.

“According to my calculations, the ship will completely disengage with two minutes left to go.”

“after···.”

The orc held out his bag. As if he had been waiting, a creature twice as large as a normal falcon entered the helicopter. It took flight, clutching a backpack the size of a human torso.

The ship was gaining altitude. It was over a kilometer from the tallest building, so it was okay to just blow it up.

“If it were me, I would have flown close to the city on purpose to prevent such tricks. The South Pole would have gotten a decisive weapon, so I guess they’d want to show it off.”

“···.”

His colleagues did as they were told, and Oak and Philos looked at Alan cautiously.

Meanwhile, the falcon flew in a spectacular manner and reached the vicinity of the sailing ship. This was possible because the sailing ship showed the leisure of a predator. And then the magic-depleting bullets were activated.

······.

No sound was heard. Only silence hovered over the sky of Sansimon. That is why the other name for the magic annihilation bullet was the silent reaper.

The speeding ship came to a halt. Its sails still glowed like sapphires, but the light it had been casting in the direction of the Serpent Islands had become too faint.

Philos shook his legs in anxiety.

“You can hold that?”

It was worth it. The destruction bomb was a weapon that threatened even life at depth 6.

Alan asked Oak.

“Is there anything else?”

“Do you think it’s an easy weapon to make? The emergence of a decisive weapon was an unplanned accident in the first place.”

Even the magic-depleting bullets weren’t enough to destroy the sailing ship. As if living up to its name, it quickly came to its senses and moved. The problem was that the artillery fire was heading this way.

Nicola screamed.

“Teleportation! Quickly!”

“It’s hard because of the magical power field emitted by the sailboat and the residual magical power left behind by the destruction bullets. If you don’t mind losing a leg….”

The helicopter spun around in the air like a roller coaster. It also fell and bounced back up like a bungee jumper.

“Eww!”

“5 seconds.”

“what?!”

“It’s time.”

As soon as Alan finished speaking, a meteor shower fell from the sky. The sun was just setting, so the meteor’s trajectory was clearly visible.

The meteors approached Sansimon, and stopped abruptly, hanging in the air like curtains, emitting a dazzling light.

“That’s why it’s called a Stargate.”

The Titan appeared, kicking away feet made of light. It was 10 meters tall and had an angelic appearance, clad in pure white plate armor.

The Titan spread its wings made of light. It flew through the air in one breath. Before he knew it, it was aiming at the sailing ship with its drawn sword.

Kwarrung!

Lightning struck from the sky. The sailboat was not spared. It fought back by violently ejecting blue rays of light as if the previous attacks were nothing more than a joke.

People were mesmerized by the battle unfolding in the sky. Even with their eyes closed, the presence was so overwhelming that it felt like a flashlight was shining right in front of them.

Alan was different. His eyes, which he prided themselves on having better eyesight than anyone else’s, caught the sparkling powder.

The wreckage of the sailboat and the Titan fell like flower petals. Alan could recycle them as much as he wanted with [Molecular Assembly]. Even without that ability, he had to take care of such precious materials.

Beep!

The box had jumped out of the helicopter without any specific orders, and was quickly moving through the ruined city.

The little one also fully displayed the dragon’s unique instincts. The parts dust shed by the two decisive weapons must be a rare substance in itself.

Kyuururur!

“no.”

Of course, that meant he couldn’t do it alone. Alan jumped down with the little boy. Taylor’s voice reached the back of his head.

“Where are you going!”

“A crisis is an opportunity.”

“what?”

[If you collect scattered materials and create a Titan, you can challenge the 58th floor without having to borrow anyone’s strength.]

Alan landed on the ground, his communication flying. His companions jumped down with him. The helicopter carrying Ork and Philos left the city.

There was not a single intact building under the sky where the sailboats and the Titans were fighting. The attacks and shock waves that passed through each other’s bodies destroyed everything. Even now, the waves continued to fly.

“Junior, it’s dangerous!”

“The eyes have already turned back. Let’s help and finish it quickly.”

The box continued to pick up things with its claws like a crab. Alan picked up the fallen debris while holding back the little boy who kept trying to run away.

“You bastard!”

Then he heard a familiar voice. However, Allen ignored it and continued working. Then, the other side fired a spell. The shield built into the power suit blocked it, but his head moved on its own due to the continuous interference.

“You cheeky brat, you’re finally looking at me.”

It was Yong-in Dekimus. There must have been a bunker exit nearby, so he was escaping with his subordinates.

Alan’s eyes and forehead glowed with light. The power was weaker than when he had subdued the Titan, and was easily obscured by the visor.

“It just so happened that I was short on hands.”

“What is that… Huh?!”

Decimus realized that his hands were acting on their own. So were his men. He became a gleaner, stooping and searching through the rubble of a collapsed building.
