Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 279



Advent of the Apostles (1)

Level 7 Aspect ability.

A level achieved by combining the strength of a warrior with the family’s secret arts as a magician.

Although it is difficult to compare in both aspects to other superhumans who have completely completed the hierarchy in one field there is no need to say how agile Lee Bongaju’s reaction speed is.

But what does it mean that he couldn’t react until the prayer beads were placed on his right forearm?

Lennok’s proficiency in activating Archangel’s Compassion. Evidence that his sharp intuition that penetrates the gap between breathing and cognition has already far surpassed Yvonne’s level.

However the head of this family was not given any time to deduce such details.

“…!”

“Wait a minute this feeling…!!”

The prayer beads attached to the wrist rotate and activate using Lennok’s magic as power.

Starting with the wrist filled with prayer beads it begins to freeze the entire space.

It only took a moment for it to climb up my wrist harden my elbow and encroach on my shoulder.

“Kaaaaaaaa!!”

This is not an ordinary artifact. One of the nine tools that Cheongyeon used right before becoming an ascendant.

Yvonne let out a terrible scream as she realized that even if she resisted with all her might she might still be able to escape the restraints of the prayer beads.

If you continue like this it won’t be surprising if your entire body freezes in an instant.

It was not a rational decision but the body that felt that his life was in danger moved ahead of Yvonne’s decision.

Suddenly!!

Almost as soon as the bracelet was put on she raised her left hand and cut off her entire arm.

Everyone in the room except Lennok opened their eyes wide at that extremely extreme response.

At the same time that Yvonne who had cut off her entire arm retreated Chen took Oren’s body and ran towards Lennok.

“Uuuuuuuu…!!!”

No matter how excellent a magician and powerful warrior he is there is no way he would not feel the pain of having his entire arm cut off.

Not only was the body cut off but even the magic flow in the arm was cut off to avoid spatial freezing.

The face of the head of this family who was screaming in pain was distorted viciously.

In the meantime Wilter who had escaped from the siege of Suryun and Manson supported her.

“…you!!”

“Let’s retreat. “You must have told me?”

Walter answered leisurely.

“We still have a chance. “We put it off until the last minute but we kept the family head alive for a time like this right?”

“That’s not your decision.”

Lennok quickly retrieved the martial arts tool and took a step forward.

Although a considerable amount of magical power was used to preheat the Jeongto Shinhaejin it was not a bad result if one of the Bongaju’s arms was cut off.

It seems that the others were pressured by the power of Yvonne and Wilter who defeated Oren but Lennok guessed that Wilter would not be able to maintain his fighting ability for long.

It goes without saying how inefficient it would be to bring life to an already dead body.

If they drag on like this and keep the two of them on their toes Walter’s fighting ability will disappear on its own and he will only have to deal with the head of the family who has one of his arms cut off.

There is no reason to let these two people go from here.

Slam!!

However Walter smiled leisurely even when he saw Lennok holding up a double-barreled shotgun.

“Space freeze… I was surprised when I first saw it but there is no way such an artifact could be used in succession.”

“….”

“Preparations are already over. “If the head of this family agrees it’s over.”

“Wait a minute that means….”

Lennok who sensed Walter’s intention as he glanced at the sky immediately raised his magic power but was too late.

The head of the family bit her lip and raised her hand and at the same time the weapons held by her attendants all plunged into her neck.

“…!!!!!!!”

Although many of Yvonga’s entourage who attempted to attack Oren were killed dozens were still alive.

It is obvious what kind of magic will be activated again by sacrificing all of that power.

Amrita’s scale which had swallowed dozens of lives was activated again and a crack opened in the sky sucking in Wilter and Yvonne at the speed of a flash.

From the beginning the two had planned to escape from this place if things went wrong even if it meant sacrificing the lives of others.

Ahhhh!!

The sound of flesh being chewed.

“It’s not your mistake. “Don’t be too disappointed.”

Walter who was sitting between the rapidly closing cracks looked down at Lennok and smiled.

“This is a miracle woven by the will of God manifested directly on earth through the Apostle of the Order. “Unlike the general cult’s magic the hierarchy itself changes depending on the number of lives offered.”

“….”

“It is impossible to defeat the miracle given by Amrita. I really got into trouble today. “I’ll see you again in the near future.”

Does this mean that beyond simply moving through space by sacrificing the same amount of lives the hierarchy of the magic itself changes depending on the number of lives sacrificed?

If you think about it in relation to the word ‘apostle’ mentioned by Walter it means that the magic that the apostle named Amrita manifested by directly receiving the will of the end is the crack in space movement.

But Lennok raised his hand even as he watched the crack rapidly closing before his eyes.

“I don’t really trust what fanatics say.”

I understood that they had somehow prepared a corner to escape to.

A movement technique that has already been activated after paying the price. This is also a case of raising weight by sacrificing dozens of lives.

Even if it is Lennok it is impossible to interpret and cancel this level of magic on the spot.

It was entirely possible to sabotage things.

Dozens of magic threads extend out from above the hands and dig into the rapidly closing cracks.

Puddeudeudeuk!!!

Beyond space.

In exchange for sacrificing one’s life one interprets and accepts without reservation the operating principles of a magic trick that specifies coordinates and moves physical forms.

interrupted at the same time.

Walter’s face who was looking down at the figure through the crack was distorted.

“out…!!”

“I can’t send you away kindly.”

Lennok smiled looking up at the crack with an instantly tired expression.

Through the magician he interprets the operating principle of the magic called Amrita’s Scale and at the same time he blasts the magical power in all directions and breaks the crack with force.

Overloading a technique that has already been completed with superiority through overwhelming magic sensitivity and manipulation ability.

The space inside the crack becomes strangely heated and begins to burn Walter and Yvonne’s skin.

“Aaaaa!!”

With a single scream the crack closed and the two people disappeared.

Everyone in the manor looked up with blank faces as the figure twisted into a spiral and disappeared leaving behind a haze in the space.

“Did he run away too?…”

Su-ryeon muttered with a sad expression.

Chen sighed and sat down.

“In the end we couldn’t come to a conclusion here.”

At the end of the proxy war the plan to reveal the true intentions of the Ibon family bring justification and punish the bishop and the Ibon family at the same time was aborted.

This side ended up being pushed out of the meticulous plan they had prepared while hiding their intentions from each other.

The damage this side suffered in the process was indescribably fatal.

Although they succeeded in protecting the safety of the fortress residents the head of the single family was taken away and Oren was in a moribund state.

But despite this Lennok shook his head with a calm expression.

“I wasn’t letting go. “I wouldn’t have arrived in good health.”

Although it was not possible to prevent the activation itself it definitely succeeded in overloading the spell at the last moment.

If there was a problem with the technique of jumping between spaces it would not be surprising if part of the body was permanently lost in the worst case.

Walter’s last words before fleeing would have been an expression of anger as he sensed it.

“I also found out their destination. “That’s enough.”

The center of Baguong Citadel. The main headquarters of the Ibon family which was gathering information as the root of the fortress.

There is no need to tell you what the intention was for choosing to run into Yvonne’s deepest place instead of running out of the castle.

“Ban’s… what Ban said is not wrong.”

Oren muttered as he struggled to get up with Chen’s support.

“Matriarch!!”

Samyoung’s attendants who evacuated the fortress residents and joined him late hastily received his body.

Oren spoke to the others paying no heed to the reactions of those around him.

“Work… Cough! It was a mess but it succeeded in taking over the creditor’s authority. “I won the proxy war…”

“okay. “That’s what’s important.”

Lennok nodded.

The creditor’s authority to manage not only the outer perimeter of the fortress but also all internal facilities without any additions or subtractions through the proxy warfare system.

By winning against Walter Martinez in the final match Lennoc became eligible to nominate Chaju.

What Matriarch Yvonne and Walter tried to accomplish by sacrificing the castle residents in the end was probably an attempt to change the eligible candidates for the creditor nomination.

“Chae Chae-ju…. Cough!!”

Seeing Oren bending down while coughing blood the warriors of the Samyeong family quickly supported Oren and walked away.

“You can’t say any more!!”

“Bring the doctor right away. “What are they doing!”

Oren’s condition was so serious that the attendants could not get far.

The group watched in silence as Oren who had fainted was laid down in an unnamed mansion near the manor and treatment began.

[The plan is tangled.]

Manson came up next to Lennok and muttered.

Lennok who was secretly looking at him asked.

“Is your arm okay?”

[ah? Well… I have to endure this much.]

The area below the left elbow is stained with blood as if there was damage in the process of suppressing Wilter who absorbed the life force of the two matriarchs.

Manson glanced down at his arm and answered in a casual tone.

[That woman is probably not fine either.]

“….”

Su-ryeon touched her shoulder and frowned faintly.

And even Chen and Asui sat down in their seats with pale complexions.

While Lennok was looking around in silence others hesitantly approached him and asked:

“Did you say half…?”

The other family heads were on Yvonne’s side even before the proxy war.

Although they also did not know the full details of the incident that had just occurred they knew which side they should take now.

The head of the six spirits spoke with a stern expression.

“I know that you are the only one who fully understands the situation now that the Samyoung family has fallen.”

“….”

“I fell for the trick of the Ibon family but I never intended to join hands with the church. From now on I will fully cooperate with you.”

“Same here.”

The head of the Paldun family said with a shocked expression.

“Not only is it not enough to attract fanatics but you are trying to make us all a living sacrifice… Gaju Yvonne is crazy. “I will cooperate as much as possible without causing any harm to the family.”

“It’s a line that doesn’t cause any damage.”

Lennok laughed.

“I think you misunderstand what is urgent about the situation right now.”

“What?”

“It’s not me who gets eaten by Yvonne like this it’s you. “If you’re thinking of passing responsibility and minimizing damage behind the scenes there’s no reason for me to care about you.”

“that….”

Even when this group was engaged in a fierce battle with Yvonne’s entourage they were the ones who stood back and watched the situation unfold.

In this situation there was no reason to favor the other side.

“If you want to survive even after Oren regains consciousness you will have to follow what I say from now on.”

The other household heads fell silent unable to respond to Lennok’s cold words.

Lennok looked sharply at the family heads and quickly shook his head.

Now that Oren has fallen unconscious someone must collect the scattered residents of the fortress and evacuate them to the outskirts.

There are humanitarian issues but beyond that we need to prevent the lives of residents from being used as weapons by Walter.

Lennok planned to leave the troublesome work to the heads of the family. If you think about that you should take the initiative from now on.

“Will it be okay?”

Chen asked as he watched the heads of the family hurriedly walking away with their family attendants.

“He probably isn’t someone you can trust.”

Most of the heads of the eight families are neither good nor very capable.

There was a possibility that the head of the family might be unnecessarily greedy in the process of clearing up the fortress residents.

But Lennok shook his head with the tobacco in his mouth.

“There will be no time for tricks. “I plan to come to a conclusion one way or another within one day.”

The reason why the citadel’s status which had weakened to the point where it could hardly be called a triumvirate was still maintained was probably because it refused to communicate with the outside world maintained a closed society and controlled information.

But all that vain glory and shame ends today.

Chen’s eyes widened at the unexpected answer.

“…One day?”

“I didn’t give up because I didn’t have enough energy. Only after confirming that Ilwon Family Head had been recovered in advance did I run away to Yvonne’s home. “This is impossible without preparing another secret plan.”

Considering what the two have done so far there is a very high probability that they are planning to do something using the body of the monogamous head.

He is not very concerned about the well-being of Tae-o who was willing to sacrifice thousands of lives to save his father.

However if they are planning to proceed with the ritual the most effective way is to take advantage of that opportunity and attack again.

It was the perfect opportunity to observe the true purpose of the church right up close.

Lennok’s eyes shined sharply as he looked down at the ruined manor.

“If things have dragged on like this it won’t be okay on the other side either. “It moves as soon as its magic power is restored.”

* * *

A vague cavity trapped in the dark.

A crack appears as if tearing the space piercing the cold silence where there is no trace of life at all and the mouth opens wide.

Two new figures protruding from inside the crack fell to the ground as if they had been thrown.

Couuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck!!

“Keuuuuu!!!”

Walter whose entire body turned red writhed and rolled on the floor.

“Damn it…!! Ugh…!!”

Cheeeeeek!!

Scales of Amrita a large-scale movement technique.

An incredibly powerful transfer technique that transfers an amount of life equal to the number of lives sacrificed.

Although he succeeded in activating the spell he could not avoid overloading the spell itself due to Lennok’s interference at the last moment.

What level of magical manipulation and sensitivity must an apostle have in order to be able to use the magic that was bestowed upon him directly through the will of the Outer Sea?

If an error occurs in a door connecting different spaces it is natural that the harm to those using the door will also be affected.

It is a delicate work that touches space. Should I say that I am fortunate to have woken up with a clear mind?

Walter’s thoughts disappeared without a trace as soon as he saw the head of the family lying down next to him.

“Kyaaaaaaa!!”

The head of this family cries out with a scream that is not human.

The mixture of a young woman’s face and an old man’s face explains how much pain she is experiencing.

The area around the side including the upper right shoulder was completely cut off.

Among the side effects of space transfer I ended up experiencing physical loss which is the worst case.

“Go matriarch…!!”

“This is…!!”

“Haaaaa!!”

The attendants who heard Yvonne’s screams rushed over to her and in the blink of an eye she died in a spray of blood.

The head of the family whose eyes were averted in pain began greedily devouring the corpses that had not yet died.

“Bring more!! Quick!!”

Walter sighed at the sight of him losing his temper and becoming closer to a man-eating beast.

“What can we do?….”

The burns that occur at the amputation site due to space transfer are not the kind that can be explained by the ordinary kind of pain.

This is because a physical entity that should have been temporarily ignored during the transition process is observed and friction equal to the distance over which the spatial transition occurred is materialized on the cut surface.

It is the same as the pain of grinding the injured area into asphalt at full speed.

If the head of this family hadn’t already lost half of its human form it wouldn’t be surprising if she died of shock a long time ago.

Walter who had been watching the man not even recognize the family’s attendants and greedily gorge on human flesh stood up.

“Bring the family head.”

“But the head of the family….”

“After we kill a few more people we’ll come to our senses. Even if you don’t know how to regenerate it right now it won’t be difficult to stop the bleeding. “There are far more important things than that.”

Now that things had come to this what Walter had to do was decided.

The small garden that caught his eye as he struggled to stand up.

Water droplets were falling slowly on the leaves of the plant.

“It’s not as planned but we will begin the ceremony of the Advent of the Apostles here.”
