Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 421



New magic system (4)

“Ugh….”

I stood up holding my head that felt like it was about to break.

The smell of the sea filling my nose made my headache even worse.

“Wow…!!”

As soon as I stood up I felt like my stomach had flipped and I started vomiting.

A trace that is swept away by seawater and disappears between cracks in the floor of the naval base.

I laughed at the ridiculous thought that I had unintentionally contributed to environmental pollution.

‘It’s like this every time.’

It’s good to forcibly improve his condition and make it easier for battle but the price is harsh enough for Lennok.

Not only was his entire body swollen and throbbing as if it was about to burst but his skin was bruised due to the bones and joints broken during the fight with Madric.

I moved my fingers which had stiffened and turned purple and took out an ampoule of painkillers.

I inserted another needle into my shoulder which had clear needle marks and waited. Only then did the medicine take effect and I was in a state where I could move.

I took out an ointment that was said to be effective for bruises and swelling from the Juseom Juseom treatment kit applied it took two antibiotics and took a breath.

‘It’s been a while since I took all the medicine I received from Yaksun. I’ll have to find a stronger cure or elixir…’

Although it effectively improved mana addiction it did not solve the fundamental problem of returning to a fighting condition only with the help of medicine.

How did he come this far without being able to find a way to solve the problem of not knowing how much life he would have left?

I visited Jindun’s Hanghasa Labyrinth to check at least a small part of the method but even if I realized the world’s secret and obtained the barrier technique the penalty was the same.

‘Through Jenny I am checking all the rewards for requests and the existence of artifact elixirs in real time. Still if you can’t find a way… it’s a dicey battle after all.’

Lennok who was catching his breath while leaning near the collapsed ruins of the naval base struggled to get up.

Just before losing consciousness he contacted Oliveira and placed the seasonal ice prison in the magnetic realm that he had personally sealed.

Since Madrich’s mind had been broken to a level that could never be restored it would not be difficult to hand over traces of it to her.

In return I agreed to receive her cooperation in opening the right magical eye so it was inevitable… but at least I had to see for myself how it ended.

If Oliveira had planned something with Madric while avoiding Lennok’s eyes Lennok would have to take responsibility for the consequences.

Shoot!!

The coast near the naval base where the sea water rushes in full force.

Lennok leaning against a rock on a nearby sandy beach and looking around with difficulty soon found the person he was looking for.

The back of Oliveira standing on the calm water like a ghost and watching the distant horizon.

Lennok stared at the detached figure walking on the water without using any magic power.

[This is ridiculous.]

Calm Jeonseong. Oliveira said without even turning her head.

He appeared to be in complete disrepair but for now it can be overlooked as it is due to the injury suffered in the battle with Madric.

Lennok ignored those words and asked.

“Madrich?”

The condition of the deal in exchange for showing Chilchaebo’s magical eye was to subdue Madrich and hand over some of his military commands to Oliveira.

It is not easy to care about the other person’s life or death during a life-or-death battle.

Furthermore Madrich Onion was originally one of the most powerful players for the current Lennoc to deal with.

Although he was injured after a long war and had been in seclusion for over several decades the combat power that Lennoc personally felt was at a level that could not be explained simply with such excuses.

Oliveira lightly shook her veil.

[It’s over there. I was waiting for you.]

“…waiting? “What happened to the ban?”

Didn’t you say that now that all of Madrich Onion’s power has been taken away from the source you will be able to hear his story directly from him without the interference of the prohibition that bound you with your own power?

[Madrich himself refused.]

She answered while turning her back.

There was a hint of fatigue in her voice that she couldn’t hide.

“….”

[I just held on because there was something I wanted to check at the end. It wasn’t a relationship that would end beautifully.]

When she turned around a thick veil was suddenly draped tightly over her face.

[You kept your promise so now I will take responsibility for the aftermath of all this.]

Madrich Onion is not simply a powerful martial arts wizard.

He was once the head of a judicial institution who served as the chief justice of a large city and as an executive of the Achilles security company he was a magnate with enormous influence scattered throughout the world.

If you deal with a big man of that size and kill him directly it is natural to worry about retaliation or repercussions from those who knew him.

In the end Oliveira offered to take responsibility and take care of the aftermath himself in exchange for retrieving Madric’s military orders.

[It’s not difficult. It is always the responsibility of the person in charge to provide justification and reason.]

Oliveira muttered in a laughing voice as she passed by Lennok.

[You captured Madrich at my request and killing him was my will and decision. Do you understand?]

It is impossible to hide the fact that Lennok won the fight against Madric.

Is that why Oliveira is planning to take the blame directly and turn the grudge against the cartel?

Lennok who was leaning against a rock and lowering his head chuckled.

“I feel sorry for Virgil. Should I give a separate blood pack as a gift later?”

Even if Oliveira herself decides to take responsibility it will be the responsibility of Virgil who assists her to handle the cumbersome practical work.

It’s fun to see how high the blood pressure of a resourceful vampire will rise but it’s also not a good sign that the vampire’s longevity compared to humans is decreasing.

Olivier also let out a faint laugh at Lennok’s sly reply.

[You are unusually generous. But for Oreden such worries are just a luxury.]

“Why?”

[Because he must already feel that time is not far away.]

“….”

Oliveira turned her head away from Lennok who was silent.

A long sandy beach stretches out behind the collapsed naval base at the back of the coast.

Even the distant scenery of high-rise buildings at the edge of the faint horizon.

Even in this remote southernmost part of the continent the scenery of the megacity remains intact.

The unwavering scenery clearly shows how many people shed their blood and lives to achieve hegemony and order in that city.

[It won’t be long before everything that makes up that city will be reorganized once again.]

Her arms fluttered as she shook her shoulders.

At the same time even that image slowly began to fade away.

[Because everyone will want to leave something meaningful before the ending approaches. Efforts to not end up as an echo will bear fruit in one way or another.]

Shoot!!

As her excitement disappears the sound of the waves becomes louder.

[Until then I will have to do what I can.]

“….”

Her words felt somewhat strange so Lennok walked on without asking any more questions.

A small sandy beach located at the end of the coast.

The back of a young man with his back to the sea caught my eye as the dawn was just beginning to dawn.

A breathtaking shape that seems as if it will disappear beyond the horizon at any moment. Even after living for over a hundred years is the heart still that of a young man?

Looking at Madric’s back Lennok sat down on the shore with difficulty.

“If you go to the shaman who practices business in area 21 you will be able to receive appropriate treatment.”

The first to speak was the military commander.

Madrich slowly turned his head and said with a smile.

“When it comes to spiritual techniques no matter how well you take care of yourself there are still aftereffects… If you don’t want to go crazy in the future refer to this.”

“Why did you reject the deal?”

Lennok asked instead of answering.

“Wasn’t it because you were so obsessed with life that you were still dreaming?”

“You don’t seem to know what she’s researching yet.”

“….”

Madrich shook his head as he looked at Lennok who was silent.

“It’s better not to know… But know that the reason she abandoned the project that depended on the city’s fate was because of that research. “I have no intention of surviving my life that way.”

Does this mean that Oliveira is not someone who can just be an ally?

I thought I fully knew that he was a dangerous person but the words Madrich muttered were somehow different from that.

“Things like this happened frequently during the long war. “It’s just my turn now.”

Madrich looked at Lennok and then turned his gaze back to the sea.

“The dream I had was not mine alone and even if I fail here someone will still believe that this is the right answer. Therefore I have no intention of unlocking the secrets bound by the taboo at the cost of my life.”

It’s ironic.

I thought that if he had the passion to join Achilles and lead new projects even after stepping down from his position as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court he would definitely accept the terms of the deal.

With Madric’s power and influence wouldn’t there be a chance for a better situation if he were to survive?

I thought he too would take aim at that and accept this deal but Madrich was too meekly willing to accept his own end.

“I’m angry at your arrogance for trying to surpass the hopes we dreamed together… but I still want to ask you.”

Madrich asked.

“Why did you have that image?”

“….”

“Why did you choose that answer? I don’t understand. “I have watched countless geniuses and monsters come up with their own answers but what you are looking for is not a complete answer.”

Madrich spoke again with an expression whose thoughts were unreadable.

“It’s more like a question that goes back to the beginning. Do you really believe that can be the answer in this world where both sides of cause and effect are closed?”

Both Lennok and Madric know.

The scenery of the magnetic realm sleeping inside the wizard is ultimately a miracle that cannot exist without Lennok himself drawing the shape of an answer to some extent.

Although Lennok himself is still wandering without deciding on an answer it is vaguely taking shape in his mind.

A martial arts wizard who had reached level 8 saw the scene in person and understood what it meant but on the other hand he did not understand it.

That was probably because it was unclear whether what the scenery Lennoch chose meant was truly possible in this world.

Lennok also knew this better than anyone else.

My mouth opened naturally before I even realized it.

“…well. “I don’t necessarily calculate and think about such things before deciding.”

From the moment he awakened to the magnetic field and fully recognized its possibilities Lennoc has never imagined the moment of showing this to anyone else.

When he takes up this area it is either at the moment of certain victory or at the moment when he is pushed into a corner where he cannot hope for tomorrow.

If others were to recognize the existence of the image inside him no one would be able to treat him as a human being.

However that martial magician who was shaking as if he would disappear at any moment before my eyes was a being who was temporarily free from all such calculations and boundaries.

Maybe I was able to get out the words that had been stored up deep in my heart.

“I just follow what my heart tells me.”

“…I see.”

Madrich laughed.

“That’s ironic. “Does a wizard as accomplished as you eventually become honest with his own wishes rather than calculations?”

“….”

It’s not wrong.

Various wishes swirled in Lennok’s mind.

To throw off this tiresome bondage to move on to the next part of the world to become a great wizard and see the end.

Unraveling the secrets of all this and revealing the truth.

I believe that here is the only possibility to satisfy all those wishes.

There was no need for any more questions and answers.

Madrich who was deep in thought with his eyes closed spoke.

“Even before the project failed Alkaid was always being chased by something.”

“…what?”

“It seemed like he was wary and afraid of someone invisible. As if there were a being who thought like him…”

There was silence.

That moment when even Lennok could not recognize the gap and listened to his words blankly.

Madrich opened his eyes and said.

“Alkaid is not a name that refers to one person.”
