Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 410



Master of the Military Command (3)

“It’s military command.”

Although I have never thought very deeply about the existence of the soul I am aware of how martial arts deals with similar concepts.

A way to deal with the spirit. A method that deals with a different type of power than existing techniques.

But that doesn’t mean it truly covets and takes souls.

Martial arts is simply a way to define and discuss human possibilities and potentials in the form of a spiritual body.

What was left at the end of the crossroads which had different roots and directions from various magic techniques using magic was given the name martial arts.

Madrich whispered softly to Lennok who kept his mouth shut.

[If someone has both talent and character as good as you I am willing to treat them with no disrespect.]

“….”

[Maybe you were chasing afterimages of the project because you were curious about what this city dreamed of and what it resented?]

Do you know exactly why Lennok got involved in this matter?

[I will tell you the qualifications to reach that secret. Why have we still not recovered from the failure of the project and why are we now trying to start a new project?]

There is not a hint of wavering or hesitation in the voice that calmly declares.

A mania similar to the conviction that one’s path is absolutely right.

But Lennok knew that madness was never right or wrong in this world.

What is needed to create meaning beyond a wish that does not exist?

In this world with a fixed ending the only thing that can leave that will until the end may be obsession and twisted resentment that scrapes it all the way to the bottom.

Lennok had already been vaguely aware of this for a long time.

“That doesn’t mean much.”

Lennok who was quietly listening to him answered.

“I heard that secrets about the project are prohibited and difficult to disclose to the outside world.”

[….]

Lennok laughed looking back at the group of corpses with their necks snapped to one side.

“The prohibition on confidentiality is like a knot tied by one’s own strength… The stronger a person like you is the more difficult it will be to break that promise. What should I believe and comply with that demand?”

Madrich who had been silent spoke.

[It seems like Oliveira told you more than you thought. It is truly an old evil relationship.]

“….”

[But I am different from the woman who lost access to the project. Even if you can’t tell it with your mouth it is possible to show it with your own eyes.]

Are you planning to show him the confidential facilities in the closed area in order to placate Lennok?

While Lennok was silent for a moment at the unexpected suggestion Madrich continued.

[Your origins and past history of disobeying the city government do not pose any problems. This huge city has embraced and strengthened even such traitors.]

“….”

[Normally I wouldn’t even allow time to worry like this… but I even like that agony.]

Was Lennok quite satisfied with his attitude of not caring even though he was clearly aware of Madric’s identity and power?

From his perspective having gone through a long war it was not strange if the spirit of the criminals fighting back and forth seemed more familiar than the subordinates bowing their heads in front of him.

[I will deliver the message through Achilles’ greeting. The choice is yours.]

Phew…!!

Madric did not wait for Lennok’s answer.

In the place where that strong will swept away all that remained was the corpse of a man who had collapsed like a doll with its strings cut.

A miserable figure with scars all over his body. A bizarre rigor mortis where the neck is twisted. The face became blank and frozen.

Is this the end of the superhumans who were subordinated to the magician by military order?

However instead of feeling unnecessary pity for the gang boss who died after being used by Madric Lennok immediately grabbed his corpse and placed his hand on his forehead.

“Dabi. “Are you ready?”

[Of course.]

At the same time a huge scroll unfolded behind Lennok’s back and the magic spell written within it began to glow.

Papyrus Argenteus the magic weapon brought from Jindun’s Hanghasa Labyrinth.

It is an object that memorizes the barrier that requires advance preparation and can be used immediately. It was used as a storage for magical power but now it is different.

As soon as the complicated barrier written on the papyrus began to shine I closed my eyes and caught the blurry spirit flowing from the fallen man’s body.

Wow!!!

A spirit prison created using Jindun’s barrier technique.

It is one of the techniques passed down in memory so clearly that even Lennok who is not familiar with the concept of spirits can handle it without difficulty.

[Recording variables that are different from the existing surgical pattern. Data packet copy completed. Preparation for implementation of spirit pattern segmentation.]

Lennok who had a huge scroll spread out behind his back made a hand seal and at the same time Dabi assisted with his calculation ability.

[Military order replication completed.]

Paaaa!!

At that moment the military spirit trapped in the scroll that Lennoc opened leaves the papyrus and disappears.

Even though he lost sight of the military order right before his eyes Lennok’s expression did not change at all.

This was because a blurry spirit body that was exactly the same as the military order that had been confined within the papyrus barrier just moments ago was glowing like crazy inside the scroll.

Lennok who was staring at the silky smooth surface of the scroll nodded.

“It was a success.”

[The necromancy compatibility also worked to some extent on the military command’s data variables. This is an improvement of about 30% compared to what was simulated.]

“Necromancy would also exist within the category of spiritual magic called martial arts. Although we cannot analyze all variables we can record and replicate them. “This is enough.”

I wasn’t running around vaguely trying to track down a military magician named Madrich.

The necromancy and artificial intelligence database that I had already obtained when creating the brain spirit called Davi.

By combining the two pieces of knowledge within Jindun’s barrier he was able to temporarily imprison the military spirit and obtain an exact copy of the spirit data.

It is not impossible to take over the military command through the barrier but if that happens Madrich will also know what Lennok has done.

Lennok had no desire to show Madric his plans at this point.

Lennok nodded as he looked at the replica of the military spirit that was constantly glowing in the barrier drawn on the inside of the scroll.

“It’s not that I’m not interested in techniques for manipulating spirits but it’s not to the point where I need to learn it from someone.”

[This is a feeling worthy of a master.]

Ignoring Dabi’s harsh answer Lennok got lost in thought.

Regardless of whether it is a field that suits his aptitude he already knows how to handle necromancy and incarnations.

The necromancy used by the warlock Craig Tillian and the incarnation used by the dog-headed giant Rafford a priest and watcher of the Blue Eye.

Doesn’t Lennok already know how to deal with spirits in those two aspects?

It would be a lie if I said I wasn’t interested in martial arts but I wasn’t so ignorant or desperate that I had to go under Madrich and learn the techniques.

Rather the topic of more interest was where Madrich Onion was hiding his true identity.

Quiet morning. Lennok muttered as he walked out of the blood-soaked gang headquarters.

“Madrich Onion said that he has been handling his duties through military orders for several decades.”

[Wouldn’t it be better to give appropriate compensation to the spirits who have worked hard?]

“If we use this replica of the military command we might be able to guess its location to some extent.”

[The first thing I would do is to proudly suggest adding one more comfortable toad house to replace the gas-tasting electricity of the bike…]

“However it would be very difficult to find clear coordinates based on direction alone….”

Lennok who was about to leave the headquarters ignoring the thunder spirit that was protesting by rubbing its front paws in his arms stopped when he saw something writhing nearby.

“Yata….”

A bronze-skinned young man hugging a trembling leopard unable to breathe properly.

He also didn’t look healthy as his bones were broken here and there but he seemed more concerned about the condition of the leopard that was with him.

“….”

When Madric used the power of resentment to stampede the entire area it was thought that all the participants were dead but did they survive by protecting the leopard?

Although he wasn’t in a perfect state because he couldn’t block it properly it was clear that the young man’s skills were considerable.

Lennok looked down at the young man for a moment and took out a small potion from his pocket.

Open the lid and pour the medicine into the mouth of the panther who is breathing heavily.

Cheap profit…!!

“Is this…?”

“It’s an antidote.”

Lennok answered.

“It’s a product that neutralizes the effects of drugs. “It’s better than nothing.”

“….”

This is something I always carry around with me in case I get pushed to the point of no return due to drug abuse.

It may also be effective on animals that have been poisoned by strong drug combinations like cocktails.

Lennok stood up as he saw the leopard’s breathing quickly stabilized and it began to purr.

“Yata!! are you okay…?”

“You may experience hematuria but it is a process of removing impurities so don’t stop. “If you rest for about three days you’ll be fine.”

“It’s incredibly detailed.”

The young man looked up at Lennok with an expression of admiration.

“Have you had many experiences like this?”

“…Well that’s it.”

It was a bit difficult to say that this was Lennok’s own experience.

“I also have a partner who doesn’t listen to me.”

[Look here.]

“I kept it in case he picks up something strange and eats it.”

[Hmph I am a spirit with a picky appetite.]

While he was secretly suppressing Dabi’s movements as he fidgeted inside the court the young man who had difficulty standing up bowed his head.

“…Thank you so much. “I have received great favor.”

“Never mind. If I were to leave no witnesses I would have had to kill you. “The only thing I helped you with was…”

Lennok said and laughed.

“It’s done. “Stop it.”

It was very awkward to say that the image of the young man holding the dying leopard overlapped Lennok’s own image with that of Dabi.

In any case the moment Madrich became aware of Lennok’s identity there was no reason to maintain his identity as Victor.

The fact that Lennok is at odds with Achilles has become public knowledge so there is no need to silence the witnesses by threatening to kill them.

The moment when Lennok thought so and was about to take the papyrus and turn his back.

“Please wait a moment.”

The hesitating young man lowered his head towards the fallen leopard.

He took the leash off the neck of the leopard that was licking the young man’s cheek and carefully handed it to Lennok.

“I am a warrior of the Southern Blood Spirit clan. “He is good at observing the future by looking at the stars and finding his brothers.”

“It’s a blood spirit clan….”

It’s a name I remember.

Among the three types of magical eyes that Oliveira showed Lennok wasn’t the Northern Spirit’s magical eye from the blood spirit tribe?

“If you tie it to your friend who refuses to listen you will be able to find its location by looking at the stars in the night sky no matter where you are.”

“Hmm I’m not sure if you’ll like it… but I’ll keep it in mind.”

Lennok said so and took the leash handed to him by the young man.

The young man bowed his head once more towards Lennok then picked up his leopard and disappeared.

Lennok also left immediately leaving the gang headquarters covered in blood.

[There’s no need because I won’t leave Master’s side anyway.]

Lennok chuckled at Dabi’s grumpy words.

“Don’t worry. “Because I have no intention of filling you up.”

What would be the point of putting a leash like this on Dabi who exists on the border between the brain and reality?

The relationship between the caster and the spirit exists beyond the physical realm so it was not difficult to overcome the distance as long as summoning and counter-summoning were possible.

“However if the location can be guessed based on a powerful medium wouldn’t it be possible to use it for military command?”

[Huh?]

Looking at Dabi who tilted his head Lennok adjusted the leash in his hand.

“Let’s test whether it works against a clone of the military leader.”

* * *

[It’s an old feud.]

Oliveira’s soft cheers rang out in the quiet basement.

[I didn’t know Onion was thinking that way. There weren’t many encounters during the project.]

“Madrich said he could tell you the secrets of the project.”

Lennok who was smoothing his workbench with his head down answered.

“He said he couldn’t tell me because of the ban but he could show me.”

[The field covered by the Black Consumer Project is so vast that the facts known even to key stakeholders do not often overlap.]

“….”

[If you take that part out it’s probably not wrong.]

Lennok lifted his eyes beyond the lens while listening to the voice echoing behind him.

An underground workshop set up separately at the request of Jenny.

Lennok was working to track the location of the military commander there and at the same time was contacting her through the network that Oliveira had given him.

I was concerned about the risk of being traced back so I left the lab I had set up at home but there were no major problems.

The important thing is to figure out where Madrich’s military orders are gathered by guessing the direction and distance the military order replicas are facing.

Place the leash inside the military order’s barrier bounded inside the papyrus and find the location of the constellations drawn on the back of the leash.

The constellations themselves do not move in the night sky but the location of the leashed subject can be guessed depending on the viewing angle and brightness.

“hmm….”

A sigh escaped Lennok’s mouth as he looked into the night sky through a previously installed telescope.

[Is there any way that things could be resolved that easily?]

Oliveira said in a laughing voice.

[I didn’t expect to get something from a blood spirit tribe but if it was something from Banpoon who was kicked out of the tribe the efficacy itself wouldn’t be great.]

“….”

[Onion said he would send a separate message so if you really want to meet him it would be easier to follow that policy.]

“I have no intention of following what he wants without knowing anything.”

Lennok responded without taking his eyes off the lens.

“At least we need to know where Madrich’s main body is located and where the remaining spirit gathers once the military spirit’s body disappears.”

[What if that’s impossible?]

“Smash Achilles to pieces and interrogate the boss.”

Lennok’s eyes constantly adjusting the wide angle of the lens shone coldly.

“If he destroys the new project he wants to the point where it cannot be revived he will react in some way.”

[That’s reckless.]

Oliveira laughed.

[It would be fun to see when you fall from the end of such a tight tightrope.]

Lennok knows it too.

The unrealistic achievements reputation qualifications and hierarchy he has built up until now are because he took a lot of risk.

But what Oliveira didn’t know was that every time Lennok took a risk it was because he had good reason and confidence.

“Be quiet and concentrate. “The reason I contacted you today wasn’t just to chat.”

As Lennok said that he slowly brought up his senses from deep within his body.

The unpleasant sensation of a foreign body being forcibly developed and controlled by an innate ability that is slightly different from simply manipulating magical power.

However through this the output of the Magic Eyes to both eyes was distributed and Lennok’s pupils began to rotate smoothly.

Only then did Oliveira realize what Lennoc was trying to do and his laughter stopped.

[…You’re out of your mind. It has only just sprouted.]

From the beginning I had no intention of relying solely on blood spirit items I had luckily obtained.

The reason why Lennox took the risk to create a replica of the military spirit and stuffed it.

The purpose was to directly observe the results with Lennok’s magical eye which observes the realm of possibilities and to capture other possibilities that exist in the same time period.

Another possibility that a copy of the military spirit could have would be the main body of the military spirit the gang boss that was just collected by Madrich.

The magical eye on the left visualizing a realm of possibilities.

And the magic eye on the right is modeled after the magic eye of the Chilchaebo which observes and fixes the results of cause and effect.

By combining the two abilities and reflecting on the positions of the constellations observing the military spirit’s replica it is possible to see a landscape beyond what is visible.

Even if it is impossible to imitate Oliveira’s level it would be enough to add additional meaning to the already existing abilities of the magical eye.

[It is impossible to follow only the theory. How can we do this at a time when even the concept of cause and effect is not properly understood…]

“You should check that for yourself now.”

Lennok’s right eye muttered like that.

A golden circle slowly began to emerge from deep inside the black pupil.
