Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 179



Vault Search(5)

Grisha sighed as the strange scenery unfolded before his eyes.

“Yes based on common sense there is no way we wouldn’t have prepared for an operation like this….”

“Let’s keep it simple.”

Lennok immediately stamped his foot while raising his magic power.

The shock wave extending from the tips of the feet hit the iron door hard causing it to tremble and the man’s body split in two due to the recoil bounced forward.

At the same time Lennok and Grisha distanced themselves from each other and used different techniques.

The bodies of the two men who were running naked were defenselessly hit by the magic and exploded but then began to regenerate in an instant.

Abnormal resilience indeed.

It was already difficult to call him a human including his unique dull intellect.

“Oh if you’re not going to eat it… you’ll have to die…!!”

The man who was stuttering raised his skinny arm and shook his fist.

An ordinary power that does not feel any magical power.

Grisha snorted but his complexion changed completely when he heard the sound coming from the man’s fist.

Quaaaaaaa!!

The intense shock wave coming from the man’s fist shattered the ceiling of the museum and revealed the sky.

“What kind of crazy power…!! “With such incredible power it would have been impossible to not get noticed even once!”

Grisha muttered that with a slightly surprised face and immediately realized the correct answer.

“No someone can control the output from outside. “It’s a work created by someone’s hands from beginning to end…!!”

“Exactly.”

Lennok responded as he looked at the man’s clone rushing towards him.

Perhaps due to the monstrous power emanating from the clone with both fists clenched shock waves explode from the floor one after another and accelerate.

A speed so fast that it cannot be clearly seen.

However instead of dodging Lennok quickly reached inside the court.

As the black collar fluttered the compassion of the archangel relic hanging inside flashed for a moment.

The moment when Dabi who appeared at the same time manipulated the light precisely and hit the man.

As if it were a lie the man’s body disappeared and crashed into the iron gate of the exhibition hall located in the opposite direction.

Quaaaaaaa!!

Lennok smiled faintly as he saw the man’s body being thrown against the iron door and the door opening wide unable to overcome the force.

I took a stab at it just in case but the harvest exceeded my expectations.

Since I succeeded in subduing the guy and opening that solid iron door at the same time it can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.

While Lennok used his remaining magical power to completely subdue the man Grisha quickly finished the job and approached Lennok.

“So why don’t you explain it to me now?”

With an annoyed look on her face she stamped her foot and the head of the man lying beneath her shook pitifully.

Before he knew it the man’s arms and legs were tightly bound with strange green rings and he could not move.

Grisha also immediately saw through the man’s abnormal regenerative ability and realized that it was easier to subdue him and abandon him than to kill him.

“What is this monster? And why did that door open so easily?”

“….”

“If it were the personality of the drug lord I know there would be no way things would be this easy…”

“It’s simple.”

As Lennok said that he slowly picked up the man who had fallen with his head in front of the door.

“This is not a human being much less a life.”

That’s why Lennok used the transference technique contained in the archangel’s compassion to transfer the man who was running towards him and pinned him against the iron gate.

Because he finally realized the identity of the déjà vu that was flowing in his head.

“This is a homunculus.”

Artificial life created in the past by magicians who devoted themselves to research to create gold.

It is the work of alchemists who are now forgotten in this world.

“Homunculus?”

Grisha asked back with a puzzled expression.

“This is my first time hearing it. “What type of magic is this word used in?”

“hmm….”

Lennok was about to explain but stopped when he realized now was not the time.

There was a concern that it would take a long time to convince Grisha of what he knew about alchemy.

This is because the alchemy he knew was the name of the gold technology that existed in WORLD 1.0.

This is why Lennok who does not easily forget magic or techniques once he has seen them was unable to properly remember them after seeing them in front of his eyes and only felt a sense of déjà vu.

That memory was not a memory from after he opened his eyes as Lennok but a skill he remembered through the monitor.

“It’s difficult to explain here. “Let’s talk after we finish our work.”

Lennok gave a vague answer and rushed into the safe.

Alchemy is an unfortunate compounding technique that existed in WORLD 1.0 but was deleted in 2.0 through a later update.

At the time it was not very popular because it had an overly complex structure in terms of game balance and was overly inaccessible.

I remember everyone being a bit skeptical about the argument that there was no need for alchemy in a world where magic exists.

Nevertheless the reason Lennok still remembers the name and skill composition is because it was only towards the end of 1.0 that the ridiculous efficiency of alchemy began to receive attention and be studied.

It has a high efficiency in combining medicines in a different way from the existing herb combination method or in creating dependent creatures including golems so there was public opinion among players that it was late to regret it.

“….”

At the time I thought it was just part of a game update but what if it wasn’t a coincidence?

What if everything that existed in that world wasn’t just an illusion in a game?

Perhaps treasures of unknown origin called ancient relics are actually…

Lennok thought about that and shook his head strongly.

Let’s not think too deeply.

It’s an idea that should never be overlooked but now is not the time to get caught up in such concerns.

The only important thing is that the existence of alchemy allows many of the drug lord’s secrets to be explained in a understandable way.

The two magicians first tied up the man whose body was split in two next to the safe.

Grisha seemed to be trying to use some kind of magic on the unconscious man’s head but he frowned as if it wasn’t working as he wanted.

“…It looks like your mental resistance is very strong. None of my techniques will work in that regard. “It would be difficult to tie it up for a long time.”

They were only able to suppress them like this because they were magicians like Lennok and Grisha but it was clear that they would not react to even a moderate amount of shock.

Great regenerative ability and super strength. A monster that is impervious to mental attacks and divides depending on the number of opponents.

Isn’t this a perfect skill for a warehouse gatekeeper?

But when Lennok saw that he took out another object from his pocket.

“This will be fine.”

A dagger with a twisted blade that was also used to subdue Baizen.

It contains a curse formula but it is not of a very high level.

But when Lennok plunged the blade into the man’s body which was split in two the effect came quickly enough to be dramatic.

“Off…!!”

“Uh oh….”

Grisha looked bewildered at the sight of the man convulsing and writhing his entire body as the curse ritual seeped into his body.

“What is this… that mental resistance is so strong and curse resistance is so weak?”

“Because it’s not a properly made item. “If you look at his intelligence being so low that he can’t speak properly it’s probably the result of deliberately lowering his intelligence to increase his mental tolerance.”

Homunculi are not living creatures and because of that they have almost no magic resistance that all living things have.

In order to solve this problem we need to use high-quality materials to make the homunculus but from the perspective of a drug lord there is no way he could pay that much attention to a simple warehouse manager.

“Go in. “Let’s sweep it up quickly and get out.”

Lennok went straight into the exhibition hall leaving the two convulsing homunculi alone.

As soon as you step inside you can feel the air changing drastically.

Perhaps because it was a medicinal storage facility created by a drug lord the first thing that caught my eye was the delicate interior which was completely different from the primitive environment outside.

The glass window which would normally display various artifacts is equipped with a machine to control humidity and temperature and the floor is covered with soil that allows you to step on it softly.

And on top of that soil there were over a thousand different herbs and medicinal herbs forming a dense mountain.

Sprinklers operating regularly on the ceiling scattered an unknown liquid to and from the medicinal materials piled up in the hall.

Grisha who followed behind was also amazed when he saw the interior.

“For a warehouse of a psychopath who turns humans into monsters it’s very well kept. “This level of humidity is similar to my hometown… but the temperature is surprisingly maintained evenly.”

“He probably used all kinds of tricks and money to protect his property.”

“Cheonilgun Baekryeohwa calabash and Telebia Vinas… There are herbs spread out that are said to be difficult to find even if you pay money. “If this is what I see with my eyes the value of the items gathered here must be beyond imagination.”

Even this is only a part of his medicinal herb warehouse spread across the continent so it is hard to guess the extent of his wealth.

Even just the wealth hidden in the shadows seemed to be enough to surpass a decent number of companies.

“The strange thing is that the medicinal ingredients used as drugs are less noticeable than you might think… Usually when you think of expensive drugs you tend to think of things like Kang San-seul or Call 19 but strangely I don’t see anything like that.”

While listening to Grisha muttering Lennok began to quickly look through the neatly piled medicine.

Although I heard a brief explanation from Yakseon it is difficult to be sure about Malabeth until I see it in person.

Grisha probably needed to find the existence of the ledger so Lennok ended up having to dig through the pile of herbs while inhaling the medicine alone.

“Whoa….”

After moving quickly for the first time in a long time my body starts to warm up.

I thought it was just a matter of rummaging through a pile of medicinal herbs but the task of bending down and sorting through the medicinal herbs with my hands to avoid damaging them turned out to be more arduous than I thought.

It would not be strange for these sensitive herbs to deteriorate if a magician or magic were used.

I thought I was already fully aware of it but I couldn’t help but smile bitterly.

No matter how hard you try to perfect yourself sometimes there comes a moment when you feel with your whole body the penalty that you cannot escape.

That is why it is necessary to complete a new medicine with the help of medicinal plants.

In the end in order to go higher.

To step into the realm of the transcendent beyond humans.

Because he needed a way to throw off the shackles that bound him even just for a moment.

‘I don’t like that the solution ultimately comes down to medicine but…’

If there was no choice there was no reason to hesitate.

“….”

Grisha on the other hand was looking for the existence of the ledger and was looking at Lennok’s appearance attentively.

“…I found it.”

The roots which are divided into five branches come together in the middle forming a flower shape at the distal end.

Malabeth also known as a flower that grows underground.

A rare herb that was once treated as an indispensable commodity in the drug industry but is now difficult to find due to advancements in manufacturing technology.

Could it really be said to be a drug lord’s medicinal warehouse? The sight of Malabeth which was hard to find anywhere buried by dozens of roots made Lennok’s hands tremble.
