Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 184

Plant(3)
Along with the young man’s body collapsing the fluorescent flames that were burning as if struggling disappear as if in a lie.
Only then did Lennok smooth his eyes with a tired expression.
This weak body was feeling tired just by looking at such intensely glowing fluorescent colors for a long time.
Lennok approached the fallen young man and pulled out the dagger from his chest.
As his inner balance was broken dark red blood was flowing out from every hole in the young man’s body as if the reaction was significant.
There is no time to even listen to the will. The vaguely attached life was simply because he was a wizard of such considerable skill.
It’s ironic.
I threw everything away to achieve the magic I had been longing for my whole life and the moment I gained territory I collapsed because I couldn’t look back at a dagger approaching right in front of me.
However it was Lennok himself who presented this contradiction to the young man at the end of his life.
That is why we must not forget it even more.
The fact that Lennok’s time which he ran so fiercely could also end in vain and fleetingness.
Each time he defeated those who stood in his way one by one Lennok steeled himself so as not to forget his original intention.
Lennok lifted himself from the young man’s corpse and looked down at the dagger covered in his blood.
It was not intended to be a sword that stabbed a priest and a executioner once but its origins are extremely bizarre.
Considering the myth that magic rituals become more powerful as time and story are added it would not be strange if this dagger also gained strength in a different direction due to this incident.
“Considering the relic’s ability to transfer it wouldn’t be a bad idea to prepare a few more similar weapons…”
It is possible to pursue variety with attacks using magic but the important thing is to establish variables that exceed the opponent’s expectations.
From Lennok’s point of view it was possible to do this because adding a few anomalous patterns was enough to turn the game around in one go.
Recovering the battle that has ended is important but before that you should pay attention to what you have to do first.
With that thought in mind Lennok immediately gathered his magic power and struck it at the bottom of his foot.
[Sink Hole]
Gooooooooo!!
Suddenly a huge hole opened in the bottom of the ground and Lennok’s body fell all the way underground.
A three-dimensional effect that is completely different from simply creating a deep hole.
As Lennok speculated this is evidence that something more than just an empty space exists beneath the plant.

It is surprising that even with such an underground space created saplings such as nightshade trees were growing above ground… but anyone who can guess the inside story will understand.
“You’ve arrived.”
Down in a dark underground cavity.
Dozens of glass cylinders slowly rotate and emit light illuminating the surroundings.
In a cylinder large enough to fit a human body a naked man and woman crouch with their eyes closed and float around.
Sap of unknown origin was filling the barrel and assisting their vital activities.
No should I say there was?
There wasn’t a single human alive left in this place.
Even Dabi hesitated for a moment as if he didn’t understand it properly.
[These are… humans.]
“okay.”
Lennok answered.
“They are probably all high-level wizards or magicians. In particular they must have focused on those who can use magical power.”
[Are they using living magicians as a power source?]
“Do you know why the plant here is the most successful among the Dominion’s floating islands? “The nutrients that should have been obtained from the land were supplemented with human resources.”
Even though I already had a rough guess it couldn’t have been less shocking than seeing it with my own eyes.
The sight of more than 40 cylinders neatly arranged in all directions.
The soft noise of bubbles rising above the sap in the barrel and the dull sound of lifeless pieces of flesh hitting the barrel.
And a bizarre scene where the lines at the bottom of the cylinder converge and extend beyond the pitch-black darkness.
There was something that made my whole body shiver just by stepping into this space.
“He was probably saying something similar to what he said to me recruiting a skilled magician and then using medicine to turn him into a human battery. “The reason why we created this factory even though we knew that confining this many magicians in one place would inevitably reduce efficiency…”
[It was to prepare for such a situation.]
A heavy voice echoing from the depths of the underground cavity.
Lennok slowly turned his head to hear the words spoken as if he had been waiting for them.
A deep corner of the cavity that is not illuminated even by the light that fuels the life of the magicians.
A low voice rang out from the deep shadows.
[Nice to meet you. Is this your first time seeing your face?]
“….”
[I thought we would meet again. The fire magic I last saw back then looked very familiar… It’s not easy to forget that intense flame. Even more so if one of you was helping with the business under me.]
He continued with a low laugh.
[But looking at your face it seems the Magic Tower has reconsidered our business relationship. I am very sorry.]
Even though he didn’t directly see the situation outside did he already know everything about the situation before and after?
Regardless of his strange tastes I can’t help but admit that his insight is considerable.
As expected it was a wise choice to completely change the face and magic pattern.
Although it was quite a long way back it seems that it was at least enough to create a clear misunderstanding as Lennok intended.
Lennok crossed his arms and cocked his head haughtily.
The expression was completed to match Weizen’s blank face quite well.

“Dominic Cavarro. That’s it. “If you promise to stay out of the Dominion we promise to stay out of your business.”
[It’s us… It’s a very annoying sound. Is it okay to think that your magic tower has established a new partnership with the disgusting lighthouse bastards?]
“…”
Lennok remained silent.
Although he disguised himself as Weizen and stole his unique magic Lennok knows nothing about how the Blader Magic Tower works.
Here it is more helpful to remain silent than to talk needlessly and get caught by the drug lord.
A man as sharp as he is will surely find his own answer in Lennok’s subtle attitude.
As expected the drug lord clicked his tongue and sighed deeply.
[Why did I make such a big decision in such a stubborn town like Magic Tower? Is it like this? If a magician as big as you came directly to convey the will of the Magic Tower it would be difficult to think of it as a simple operation… It is very difficult to work with idiots.]
From the way he muttered he seemed to have already guessed what Lennok was trying to do but Lennok was confident that this trick would not be discovered.
You can disguise your face as much as you want but you can copy someone else’s magic pattern.
And handling the opponent’s unique magic to a significant level was something that anyone other than Lennok could never accomplish.
How can we know Lennok’s transcendent magic manipulation ability comparable to that of a level 8 archmage and his ability to freely use unique magic based on common magic?
No matter how outstanding the drug lord was and how sharp his eyes were what he saw before his eyes was ultimately just a fairly powerful fire mage.
[I’m sorry but my answer is-]
“It’s a refusal.”
The voice that had been heard only as a solemn voice changes into a voice in an instant.
Immediately after that a pale flash of light shot out of the darkness and instantly struck Lennok’s shield.
Instead of resisting the powerful impact Lennok flung his body backwards and rose into the air using reverse gravity magic.
Quaaaaaaa!!
Using the impact as a stepping stone he quickly pulled himself out of the underground cavity.
It’s powerful enough to shatter four shields with one attack.
It’s so powerful that it’s not surprising if your shield is pierced in an instant if you don’t come to your senses properly.
While he was massaging his temples with a tired face the hole he had dug into the cavity collapsed and a huge amount of silt began to flow into the cavity.
In the aftermath of the rampant fire magic the soil of the plant was reduced to ashes lost its cohesion and began to fill the empty space underground.
The ash that was filling the hole ate away the entire ground of the plant and continued to increase in height without stopping creating a huge mountain of ash.
A man sitting naked on top of the mountain slowly rose above the ground and looked down at Lennok.
The face of a young man completely different from the age he was known to be in his mid to late forties.
He is a large man with a strong physique that can be seen from afar.
And the magic power swirling throughout his body clearly shows how he tried to arrive at this Dominion.
If you are only sending away consciousness there are no limits to distance and speed.
In addition it is also possible to explain how it broke through the barrier of the Dominion which was isolated from the outside world and appeared here.
Dominic Cavarro arrived at this location directly by transferring only his consciousness to the homunculus.
The existence of the homunculus guarding his medicine warehouse was probably part of the process of extracting this result.
It is understandable if you think that the reason why all the human batteries that were originally supposed to be used to manufacture drugs were killed was to rapidly regenerate their bodies.
Dominic looked down at Lennok with a sharp gaze and stood up.
He slowly walked down the mountain of ashes snatched the clothes of a young man buried nearby and put them on bursting into laughter.
“Hahahaha!!”
Couuuuuuuu…!!
With just the simple act of expressing one’s emotions an enormous amount of magical energy was unleashed shaking the entire area.
What is the potential of the body created by sucking the magic and life of more than a dozen magicians?
Moreover it is a relic of WORLD 1.0 that has now disappeared.
It was impossible to even easily guess its power.
“For a long time I have admired the overwhelming power of Pandemonium.”
Dominic muttered clenching his fists.
“It was not difficult to admit that the most basic logic of this world is power not money… but I lacked the means to obtain it.”
“….”
“But now it seems like all the things I needed have been fulfilled.”
He lazily clenched his fists and slowly turned towards Lennok.
“Once I find the place where your lighthouse is hidden and kill the Watchers’ minions with my own hands my status will be recognized to some extent in the Battle of Pandemonium… From there I will take control of that unknown organization.”
“I think I’m misunderstanding something.”
Lennok responded with a grin.
“Was Pandemonium an organization that could be described as a grandiose organization?”
The Bokmajeon he knows is an organization where let alone a shared resolve there is no proper relationship between superiors and subordinates and the relationships between members are as faint as grains of sand.
What makes Pandemonium a true hall of devils is the overwhelming power and individuality of each member not the size or history of the organization.
There was no room for false words such as organizational power or unity to be included in that strong prestige.
Dominic also smiled faintly instead of denying those words.
“You know very well about Pandemonium. “That is not wrong.”
“…”
“It is true that among monsters there are quite a few who act as they please… but it is still true that the meaning of Pandemonium exists clearly.”
As the eyes flash a glow made of magical power overflows.
“Even though the values and intentions expressed by those who were like grains of sand were in my view unmistakably close to the truth. “There is no need to worry any more.”
Dominic took a step forward and rolled up his sleeves.
“I will discover the secrets of this world and survive until the end.”
Shuuuu-!!!
Immediately after that a huge amount of steam came out from his arms as he rolled up his sleeves.
Before I even fully realized the determination contained in those words the battle with the drug lord began.
