Genius Engineer in the Labyrinth - Chapter 414



Only Noblemtl

Eldorado (5)

The leader of the Ibex mercenary group is the mountain goat Lycan. He has a muscular human body with a mountain goat head, and large, curved horns that stand out like feather decorations on a helmet.

Cliffrunner, the leader, sat on a tree stump and assessed the damage.

“Three squads of magic tanks collapsed in an instant?”

“yes!”

As the goat’s characteristic square pupils moved, the subordinate’s shoulders trembled. He wrapped his eardrums in magic power to prepare for any possible shouting.

“It’s definitely over depth 5. So who is it?”

There is nothing that is not there in the universe. The same goes for human information. If it is a depth of 6 that has begun to surpass the limits of life, it will be easy for the world to take notice and find it.

“My name is Alan, and I am a magic engineer working in Maze City.”

“This kid!”

Cliffrunner slammed his pistol into the air. A blast of compressed air shot out and struck his subordinate in the forehead.

“Ouch! I will correct it!”

“Do you know what you did wrong?”

“If you teach me, I will correct it!”

“You’re a wizard, not a magic engineer.”

“I’m sure it’s a magic engineer!”

The subordinate inserted the memory crystal he had pulled out from the nape of his neck into the terminal. His square pupils dilated slightly as he looked at the screen.

“Really? But twenty-four? You used the cheap information and took the remaining money?”

“I bet my neck on it!”

“Or is it not, that you are hanging yourself like that?”

Cliffrunner flicked a small magic stone with his finger. The red-browed subordinate smiled and picked up the magic stone.

In the past, Alan only went through the labyrinth, and when he had time, he went around the whole world and erased all the related information, but now it has reached a point where it is difficult to control it in that way.

“The Magic Engineer is at depth 6… There was a reason the divers were noisy.”

“I was surprised too. I had heard rumors of divers going deep into the ocean without brain expansion devices, but when I checked, it was true.”

“It won’t work even if we hit them with magic weapons.”

“There are two Titans over there.”

“Tell the armored personnel carriers to put away their weapons and gather only the Titan pilots. And call the cavemen as well.”

“Okay···.”

Before the subordinate could finish speaking, the stump was empty. Where the strong wind had stirred the grass, only deep hoofprints remained.

*

Krrrr!

One of the towers, hit by a shell, collapsed. As the structure that had blessed the allies and cursed the intruders disappeared, the soldiers of the Gold Hand side rushed in.

Alan watched the scene from the cliff. As the scenery he was concentrating on changed, the gun barrels of the escorting magic tanks also turned.

Let’s focus on one spot, and the chariots with goats on them are spitting out fire. Thump thump! Every time we hear a sound, the ground shakes violently.

“Out of control! We’re trapped!”

“The accuracy is amazing.”

“What are you talking about accuracy after shooting your own troops! Shut up!”

Allen looked down, ignoring the chattering of the mercenaries trapped inside. Two Titans were pushing through the forest.

[Yes, this is it!]

Taylor was locked in a fierce battle with a Titan. He was so big that he could roll around on the ground once, creating a playground.

[Brother Alan, are you listening?]

[Just leave it and the automaton will collect it.]

[thank you.]

A crumpled tank was left where Shiva had left off. If it wasn’t a monster from the labyrinth, it was aimed at being as immortal as possible, and Alan respected it.

Their collection was left to the leopard, who covered them in shadows and buried them somewhere, intending to collect them later when needed.

Alan focused elsewhere. Two Titans were approaching through the forest. Their target was clear.

[A Titan has appeared in the northeast.]

[I’m having a hard time.]

[I will try to hold on.]

Alan looked to the side. Nicola and Zion, who were receiving his gaze, reacted.

“Fight the Titan?”

“I like it.”

“What’s so good about it?”

“Go with the buffalo.”

Nicola grumbled as he climbed onto her back, and Zion stood on her head, crossing his arms. The buffalo, larger than a chariot, descended the steep slope.

Alan looked straight ahead. A presence larger than a weapon of war was approaching. A strong and fierce presence ran straight ahead, and the trees and grass along the path swayed as if they had been hit by a typhoon.

Just by running, a road was created in the forest. The road builder maintained his speed even when he reached the cliff. He ran vertically down the cliff and soared into the sky.

The sun cast a shadow on the huge figure with its back to him. Alan could clearly see its figure. It was a mountain goat, a lycan.

“Mr. Cliffrunner of Ibex. Nice to meet you.”

“He’s a funny guy.”

That was the end of the conversation. Now that those who wanted to defend and those who wanted to destroy had met, the only thing left to do was clash with force.

Cliffrunner rose to his feet, raised both knees high, spun around, kicked the air with his hooves, and shot toward Alan, his horns sparkling in the sunlight.

Kwarrung!

Pierced the cliff with a human body. A small cliff collapsed with a single attack.

Alan appeared nearby, palms clasped together. He watched as the rock tidal wave rushed towards the Titans.

“Take your time?”

Even amidst the loud noise, a voice could be heard clearly. A black shadow appeared in the thick dust and soon approached right in front of my nose.

“Get behind!”

Cliffrunner’s hoof pierced Alan. For someone who had successfully attacked, his expression was not very good.

“You’re quick-witted.”

As he shook off the reverse joint of his leg, a chunk of scrap metal fell out. The square pupil stared straight at where Alan was standing. It was on a tree.

“Are you planning to keep running away?”

“I hate fighting.”

“You slaughtered so many monsters in the labyrinth? I heard that you feel more at home in the labyrinth than on the surface.”

“It’s not a battle, it’s a sampling. It’s a necessary process for research.”

“Yeah, depth 6 can’t be normal.”

“What about Mr. Cliffrunner?”

“Me too!”

Cliffrunner raised his leg high and slammed it down on the ground. Cracks started from his hoof and spread out like spider webs. The gaping ground swallowed up the surrounding objects.

As the ground beneath him began to sink, Alan’s vision naturally became less clear. He tried to open the space door again.

“Where!”

Cliffrunner roared loudly. Magic mixed with the scream that came out of his throat. And it stuck in the coordinates like a space wedge, hindering movement.

Alan watched the approaching enemy. He tried to control his magical power by examining and analyzing it. But the defenses were too strong and there was not enough time.

Boom!

Alan, who was kicked, flew far away. Cliff Runner chased after him again. He approached him, jumping over the ground and trees like a mountain goat.

After a long time, Halo was activated. The wings of the power suit opened on both sides and the shape-shifting metal poured out. The circular ring that appeared behind his back emitted a blue light, looking like the halo of an enlightened being.

The ring shook and turned into runes.

[Weakness], [Slowness], [Confusion], [Paralysis], [Corrosion], [Pain], [Suffocation]

A total of seven negative effects hit the Cliffrunner.

“You’re a wizard!”

Cliffrunner shouted loudly, recalling the face of the guy he had reported earlier. He was the type of person who could blow away curses with just a shout, but this time it was hard. It was too sticky, and when he removed it, it would stick again. It felt like he had fallen into a sea of ​​curses.

The curse was bothersome, but it wasn’t enough to prevent me from moving. It was just like wearing several layers of thick clothing. Even in its current state, it was enough to slaughter a depth of 5.

Cliffrunner chased, and Alan dodged.

“You, you punk! Are you a coward?”

“I think I explained earlier that I hate fighting.”

“Raise your visor so I can check your gaze. Something is creepy.”

His feeling was correct. Alan was accumulating data at depth 6 of the body wave. Of course, careful observation was essential.

“I can feel your sticky, disgusting gaze. Do you like homosexuals?”

“no.”

If you only look at the content of the conversation, it seems ordinary, but the spectacle they created was not like that.

When Cliffrunner reached the land where Alan had passed, the surrounding area collapsed. Trees were uprooted and blown away to dust by the mere aftermath of the magical collision, and the ground burst open.

As he passed the Titans, Cliffrunner used them as springboards. He jumped up lightly, crouched, and then kicked hard as he leaped toward Alan.

The 10-meter-tall Titan’s body lurched as if a person had used it as a stepping stone. It was an extraordinary sight.

[crazy!]

Taylor, who almost fell forward, barely managed to keep his posture as he was hit by the enemy Titan. And while he was at it, he started dirty boxing.

Cliffrunner stopped in his tracks. Alan also stood still and looked at him.

“That’s cool.”

I acknowledged its limitations. If the power suit was running away like that, there was no way to take it down.

“You have to clap your hands to make a sound, but you keep avoiding me, so I’m losing strength. Please, let’s fight coolly. What are you going to do if I lose interest and go somewhere else?”

Alan turned his head away, ignoring the Cliffrunner who kept nagging him.

“Did you call reinforcements?”

“You don’t need to know!”

Cliffrunner unleashed his magic. It was a trick to draw attention to himself and make it a little bit later to detect the projectiles flying at him at a terrifying speed.

But it was visible to Alan’s eyes. The spear that had come flying like lightning was right in front of his nose.

Alan opened the space door, attempting to return the spear to the charging goat.

But that couldn’t be done. A crack appeared in the space door, and the sharp tip of the spear came out. And the tip touched the power suit’s armor.

Woohoo!

The blue shield vibrated like crazy. It was a countermeasure armor, and when an attack came in, it dispersed the power.

Boom!

The shield exploded towards the window. This was a repulsive armor, projecting force outwards to repel or counter attacks.

The spear still held its power. It only sagged when it touched the space armor that Alan had ingeniously stretched across space.

It happened in a second. Even a second was very long for Depth 6, and Cliff Runner’s image filled his eyes.

‘Magician? Wizard? Doesn’t matter.’

If you stick, you win. Cliff Runner stuck out his horns with that kind of mindset. His eyes widened and found Alan’s fist.

‘suddenly?’

Before he could finish his thoughts, the horn and fist collided. A loud noise, like a hundred thunderclaps condensed together, erupted from between them.

Another landslide occurred. The mountain, which had been suffering from the destruction of the two and the clash of the Titans, poured out its contents in one gulp.

Cliffrunner smelled the thick earthy scent of the dust. It was accompanied by a damp smell from the deep earth that had been turned over. His eyes pierced the dust.

“It looks good.”

Their collision created a new cliff, and Alan was stuck there. The power suit around his right arm, which was extended forward, was completely blown away, revealing pure white skin. And the red letters engraved on it.

“You’re a tattooed person.”

“It’s not a tattoo.”

It was a 7-layer [Destruction] rune drawn with Alan’s blood. The blood did not flow out, but rather soaked into the skin. The helmet and the right side of the torso armor were completely blown away, letting in the wind.

“Did you feel it? This is my power···.”

Cliffrunner’s pupils suddenly trembled. The hand raised to his head simply passed through a certain part. One of the majestic horns disappeared.

“You bastard!”

“Are you looking for this?”

Alan showed him the thick horns.

“What a wonderful example.”

“You guys, just wait and see!”

Cliffrunner quickly turned around. In the blink of an eye, he became a dot.

“The subordinates···.”

“I will engrave the children’s revenge in my heart!”

He said his own words and disappeared. He was so fast that Alan’s voice did not reach him. The Titans, who sensed his retreat, also ran away in a hurry. His ability to escape was much better than his ability to fight.

At dawn Zion appeared, covered with oil instead of blood.

“Why the subordinates?”

“The ransom business is better than you think. If you give them a big wound and hand them over, their power will be weakened because they have to take care of them. That’s what I was aiming for, but they disappeared before I could even say anything.”

“What if I use it as a material?”

The mercenaries who had just been dragged to the box were shaking their legs violently. This was because the thoughtless conversation was much more painful than the automaton’s whipping.

“Compensation is better.”

“Depth 6 or more?”

“Then the person is good.”

He only told the truth, but he did not mean to actually do it. He avoided human experiments on living people as much as possible. That was Allen’s own line.

“Once you cross the line, an infinite world unfolds…”

[Hey, don’t put air in the good kid!]

Taylor threw a piece of wood at Zion’s mouth, covering it. Dawn danced. The splintered pieces of wood piled up at her feet.

“Did you throw the log?”

[Don’t make that hurt face. It’s just corn stalks to you. No? It’s right.]

“Concentrate.”

As soon as Alan spoke, both of their heads moved simultaneously. They followed his finger and looked at the lake surrounded by mountains. Something black and huge was rising.
