Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 485



Apostle Evan (3)

“That’s what I should ask. “The service hasn’t ended yet so is it okay for the person in charge to leave the seat?”

Now that I think about it was he one of the agents sitting on the platform in the square?

His outward appearance is ordinary but judging by his unusually faint presence he must be a skilled person who focuses on mobility.

The bishop called Tritan scratched his cheek and responded.

“Uh… I’m not sure but he said there was something to do at the temple so I should go first.”

“….”

“Aside from me several other agents are also away but I don’t know where they are.”

Could it be that Archbishop Naidry noticed something strange happening at the temple?

Lennok and Jaif exchanged quick glances but then both shook their heads slightly.

If they had known that the two apostles had been going in and out of the archbishop’s office at will they would not have been able to proceed with the service calmly.

The agents were probably sent back to the temple because of other business.

The archbishop’s secret may be hidden right there.

“Anyway what’s going on with Apostle Zaif? “Who is this person here again?”

“Actually…”

Zaif now told a version of a story he had repeated to the priests a dozen times.

Tritan’s eyes sparkled as he listened to the whole story while shaking his head.

“Why even in nature there was an apostle with such faithful faith…!!”

“….”

“I guess I can’t just sit still about this. “We will help together!!”

“…what?”

After quickly rolling up his sleeves Zaif’s expression faintly distorted at Tritan’s reaction.

Tritan began fiddling with the broken wall with a grin on his face as if he was aware of that thought.

“It seems that it was difficult with the strength of the priests alone but I have also done many such chores in the Northwest Branch. “If you catch me it’s like eating a cold fortune cookie.”

“Is that what fortune cookies meant?”

“Hmm what does that matter? Rather than that…”

Tritan who caught a glimpse of Lennok cleared his throat and muttered.

“Could you please pay more attention during the selection ceremony? It would be great to hear a definite answer on that matter.”

“….”

“Wouldn’t it be possible for them to have a senior/junior relationship?”

So instead of clearing up the commotion in the temple please help me get noticed by the archbishop during the ceremony.

Although he looked good he was a devious person on the inside.

The moment Zaif was about to dismiss those words with an absurd expression Lennok took a step forward and quickly nodded.

“If they say they will cooperate for the temple is there any way to refuse? However there is one thing I would like to ask about here as well.”

“Say yes.”

Lennok’s gaze shone sharply as he looked at Tritan’s face which seemed to be secretly expectant.

“The promised location that the archbishop had announced in advance. “Could you please listen for a moment before the ceremony begins?”

* * *

A huge ammunition depot located behind the Far East Branch’s main shrine and food distribution center.

Unlike other buildings made of stone it is impressive in that it is made of solid steel plates and painted white.

It’s easy to mistake it for the strong smell of paint but if you get a little closer it’s not hard to notice something wrong.

At first glance it appears to be left defenseless without any security forces but the entire ammunition depot is surrounded and protected by an elaborate barrier.

As soon as an intruder or unfamiliar magical power approaches a signal is sent to the barrier manager and the entire barrier is isolated.

Among Jindun’s barrier techniques it is an advanced isolation barrier that requires careful management but guarantees high security.

Although it was disguised as if it wasn’t very important what does the fact that Jindun’s barrier technique was newly applied only here unlike other facilities mean?

Without delay Lennok took out another piece of paper with a control code drawn on it and without hesitation he crossed the barrier of the ammunition depot and stood in front of the door.

“….”

An unknown odor coming out of the door as if the smell of paint that had been wafting just a moment ago was a lie.

The smell was so strong that even Lennok’s insensitive sense of smell could tell that it was not just filth.

As soon as I checked the surroundings one more time and opened the door I was speechless at the shocking sight I saw.

Bullets and chunks of gunpowder rolling on the floor were soaked in sticky fluid and countless corpses were scattered haphazardly on top of them.

Naked people regardless of gender or age without any clothes on. There is no longer any blood left on my body.

Stiff and frozen like a pure white wax doll with its limbs twisted into strange shapes it was abandoned in an ammunition depot.

Even Lennok who reacts resolutely to human death frowns faintly at the sight.

“That’s not unusual.”

Lennok also shook his head at the scene inside the ammunition depot which was so horrific that even Zaif was a little nervous.

“…The problem is that this is not everything.”

The very fact that they kept the location of the ammunition dump a secret from Zaif is proof that they wanted to keep this place hidden.

Why did Archbishop Naidri hide this place and leave a message so that only agents could sneak in?

Lennok who had been carefully examining the corpses strewn about finally succeeded in finding the identity of the faint sense of déjà vu.

“Apostle Zaif look at this part.”

Lennok said as he lifted the body of the old man leaning helplessly against the wall.

“A small hole under the left armpit through the chest. “Similar scars are present on all corpses.”

“I see. “There will be no traces like this left during the offering process…”

“It wasn’t a magical attack but a physical one. Do you understand what this means?”

At the same time magicians stretched out from their fingertips and began to quickly lift up all the corpses and the bottom of the ammunition dump.

“There is someone nearby who killed people in this strange way.”

“…Who is it?”

“and

Thump thump thump!!

A noise that felt like the entire ammunition depot was shaking. But Lennok paid no attention to the commotion and continued to focus on searching everywhere.

A noise different from before resonates among the magicians who pass by without stopping.

Lennok immediately rubbed a piece of paper with Jindun’s control code written on the area where he felt deja vu.

Sigh…!!

The barrier hidden deep inside the mountain of corpses melted revealing a circular passage.

A lukewarm breath blowing from inside the open passage.

Lennok muttered looking down the aisle carefully.

“It’s not just a warehouse for storing corpses.”

Why has most of the barriers in the Far East Branch changed to barrier techniques using Jindun’s relics?

I think I now know why the facilities inside the temple were strangely outside the control of the priests.

Archbishop Naidry had a secret that he wanted to keep hidden through his own power even if it meant preventing other priests from controlling the barrier or security facility.

“It’s a breathing hole that spits out the humans it throws away as food.”

“then….”

Lennok and Zaif faced each other and then took turns entering the passage.

Go up the passage in the opposite direction of the harsh wind.

“…!!”

Fuuuuk!!

Lennok’s body bouncing through the squishy flesh instantly rose through the darkness.

Lennok raises his magic power as he looks at the face of the priest who is standing next to him with his mouth wide open.

[Jae-roe Island (載雷殲)]

[Manghak (網虐)]

Tsuzzzzzzzz…!!!

Dozens of strands of electricity bursting through the priest’s clothes spun around in an instant penetrating and twisting and tearing the priests who were moving in all directions.

The enormous firepower compressed between lightning bolts thinner than a finger takes life from that body in an instant.

Lennok who had killed more than a dozen priests in an instant without even being able to control himself placed both hands on the floor and groaned.

“Wow….!!”

Even though I took motion sickness medication the speed was a problem that made me feel nauseous but the scenery spread out in all directions made it unnecessary to endure the nausea.

A pure white room believed to be a hidden annex of the temple. This was because dead human bodies and oozing fluids were stuck all around it.

The smell of moisture and slime that filled the entire space made it difficult to even breathe. The priests Lennok killed also had something similar to a gas mask on their faces.

If it weren’t for something like this would it have been difficult to breathe and die without even being able to scream?

If it weren’t for the shield’s filter magic Lennok wouldn’t have been able to last even a few minutes in this space.

Zaif who followed down the aisle also muttered looking somewhat embarrassed.

“I can’t believe there was a secret agent like this hidden in the Far East Branch… The Archbishop really…”

“….”

I got up and quickly looked around shaking my stomach.

A huge room made in the shape of a hexagon. Bodies treated with slime are flowed through passages at the bottom of each wall for disposal.

The job is to collect the corpses that are constantly pouring out from the center of the room clean the slime and drain it into the sewer.

When corpses that have been cleaned of their internal fluids are thrown in they are pushed one by one and fall out of the passage.

Lennok kept his mouth shut as he looked at the body that had not yet drained of its fluids.

A gruesome death that seemed to shed bloody tears from the face of Goku.

A behavior that clearly shows the extent of the fear and pain at the time of being sacrificed.

When I force myself to ignore it and turn my gaze to the center of the room the sight of a being constantly reproducing all these corpses comes into view.

[Kuu kuu….]

A ball of fur that is as clean and soft as pure white cotton candy.

A huge ball of fur that appears to be about ten meters long fills the center of the room and is asleep making a quiet breathing sound.

An appearance that feels pure and completely separate from this horrendous space.

However the sight of corpses covered in slime coming out from underneath the hairball as it breathes and shakes is by no means an illusion.

Before Lennok could even open his mouth to criticize that obscene behavior.

Zaif who was standing next to him muttered in a strangled voice.

“10 Apostle Amrita… Why in a place like this…”

“….”

Apostle Amrita. Lennok also knows the name very well.

The master of an apostolic technique called [Amrita’s Scale] which is capable of transferring the same number of lives through space by sacrificing the same number of people.

“Apostle Evan there wasn’t a single lie in what you said. “How far ahead were you looking?”

Zaif’s expression was distorted with a strange emotion bordering on fear.

“Archbishop Naidri did not intend to make the agents apostles. She intends to offer the devotees of each branch simply as food to Lord Amrita.”

“….”

“We have to block the ritual. “Please tell me anything and I will do my best to cooperate with whatever you decide to do.”

Zaif’s strong gaze makes it seem like he would agree even if I told him to go kill the archbishop right in front of his eyes.

Lennok inwardly shook his head as he listened to Zaif’s burning words.

Have we come too far now to say that I never knew all these lies would turn out to be true?

If all the words that were said to deceive Zaif came back like a boomerang and accurately penetrated the secrets of the Far East Branch.

If the secret was so big that even Lennok’s original plan had to be changed.

There was no time to think for long.

A sunset when the sun is almost gone. Now that the service was over the archbishop had enough time to notice something strange happening in the temple.

“good.”

Lennok sighed and raised his head his eyes shining sharply.

“If you say that I will tell you the last thing you need to do. Are you ready?

“okay…!!”

“I will kill Apostle Amrita right here.”
