Chapter 93

Roaring!!

As he ran down the corridor, the dark magic he felt became even more intense.

It seemed like the narrow and long space stretched endlessly, but suddenly it opened up to reveal a massive underground cavern.

Although there was a similar space in the underground of the power plant where the gang leader had set up his base, this place was at least three times larger and much more rugged.

Flying gravel and discarded construction equipment in the corners, safety helmets and torn gloves.

Renox immediately realized what this place was originally used for when he caught the acrid smell and saw the scattered traces around him.

‘It was a quarry.’

A space created to excavate stone and simultaneously secure building materials.

Was this why Palsion had set up here, to make use of the labor camp and open spaces created in the process?

To completely uproot this terrorist organization, it would be faster to find and burn all the materials related to their command structure and communication security.

But there was something more important now.

Raising his magic, he quickly scanned the area, and he could guess to some extent how they had used this space.

The command and control room, made of glass and located above the cavern, was still filled with computers running densely, and the ground was overflowing with sticky magic of unknown origin.

‘No, this is... a magic array.’

A massive magic array that not only filled the cavern but also extended to Renox’s feet as he just stepped into the entrance.

Renox tried to erase it on the spot, but it didn’t disappear even when he dug into the floor, as if it had already occupied and fixed itself in the space.

It must have been a masterpiece created over a long period by pushing the limits of conjuration and installation magic.

He knew it from the moment he saw it.

This magic array was the source of the barrier that now covered the entire sky of the labor camp.

There was no need for prolonged deliberation.

Without hesitation, Renox immediately raised his right arm and swung his magic with all his might.

BOOM!!

A spiral of flame that shot out from his fingertips struck the command and control room filled with computers.

Although it resisted to some extent, perhaps due to security spells, Renox did not relinquish control of the magic.

The two streams of flame he wielded penetrated the glass and began to burn the computers inside the control room.

‘Those computers must have been the foundation for constructing the AI’s algorithm.’

If he couldn’t interfere with the magic array, the target was already set from the beginning.

‘It would be nice if this were the end...’

“It’s useless.”

While he was looking up at the burning computers, a low voice came from far away.

“The calculations are already complete, and the remaining tasks were just for maintenance. Burning those things now won’t change anything.”

A deep and resonant voice.

A firm resolve that made the listener tense.

A rigid expression and deep wrinkles on his face. Intricate tree root tattoos under his eyes.

Although it was the first time they were face to face, it felt as if he had been waiting for this moment for a long time.

Craig, the leader of the practical faction of black mages.

The criminal who had raised a banner against Balkan and contributed to the terrorist acts was standing right here.
