Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 486



Apostle Evan (4)

“It’s time. “Let’s begin the final service.”

After taking a moment to catch his breath Archbishop Isel Neidry head of the Far Eastern branch of the Guido denomination climbed up to the podium and opened a textbook.

Even though she is quite old it is difficult for her to maintain worship with thousands of believers.

If Ezel had been a magic user he might have been free from the problem of physical strength.

However those who performed the role of priestesses of the religious order for generations intentionally refrained from enhancing the achievements of their main deity.

Building up a hierarchy means that one exists completely and completely on one’s own.

This is because in order to receive and pass on revelations to the gods outside the ocean the priestess herself must be essentially empty.

It was important to avoid any disruption in the performance of the mission of the priestess who had to deliver divine revelations right next to the religious leader.

Even though she had long since stepped down from her position as a priestess Izel was still completely avoiding building up a hierarchy.

Even though all the seats on the podium where the delegates were seated were not filled Ezel was about to start the service.

One of the priests kneeling in the front row spoke.

“Mr. Priestess I have a quick question.”

“Tell me.”

“Why did you move the location of the Far East Branch toward the Sea of ​​Understanding?”

At the priest’s words the commotion in the square quickly subsided.

This is because there were quite a few priests of the same denomination who were curious about that fact.

“I understand that thanks to the great blessing given to the Far East Branch we are allowed to run on the sea.”

“That’s right.”

“Then wouldn’t it be overly dangerous to locate a branch in the territorial waters of the Sea of ​​Understanding close to the Philenom Autonomous Territory at this time?…”

“….”

The priest quietly lowered his head as Izel stared at the priest without answering.

“I am saying this out of consideration for the safety of the priests gathered at the General Assembly. “Do you know which organization has the Dominion as its headquarters?”

blue eyes.

At least among the believers gathered at this general meeting there will be no priest who has not heard that name.

The name which was quite feeble before being inherited by Cheongyeon’s blood relatives has now grown to be grand enough to spread across the entire eastern region.

Did you say that not only did they achieve final victory in the Northern Hanghasa Labyrinth but they also took control of the Valley of Pajeop in the Middle East and opened a path to the center?

No one was deaf enough to not hear the news that a new force was invading the entrenched front.

“If watchers start showing up in our territorial waters it may already be too late.”

“What do you want to say?”

“If you allow it I would like to contribute the power I brought from our branch to protecting the Far East branch.”

“….”

“There is no need to say enough about the excellence of the orthodontic technicians but if the priestess is willing to risk a close fight with the Eye of Blue we cannot back down.”

Looking at the high-ranking priest of the Far West Branch with his tongue twitching without changing his expression Izel recalled a memory from a long time ago.

Memories of the day when she commanded the pantheon as a proper priestess.

Since he stopped appearing the affairs of the church have become so messy and ugly.

Even though I thought I had given up everything it was inevitable that a corner of my heart would be shaken.

“I knew my heart well. But I guess that won’t be necessary.”

“Haona….”

“I will answer all your questions when the time is right so finish the service first-”

Kwaaaaaaaaaa!!!

At that moment a huge pillar of fire rose between the huge crystal palace where Ezel’s back was turned.

* * *

“Did I hear this correctly?”

Zaif’s expression not even realizing he understood it correctly.

“You are going to kill Apostle Amrita…?”

The meaning and value of the Ten Apostles Amrita within the Guido denomination cannot be expressed in words.

Apostolic Art Amrita’s scales. Although it requires a huge amount of offering and cost what is the strategic value of a technique that enables large-scale spatial transfer?

Naturally Amrita’s existence and location were treated in extreme secrecy within the church so much so that no one knew where she was sleeping.

Even for Zaif it was the first time in his long life that he witnessed Amrita’s true form.

Does it make sense to tell Zaif about the death of the 10 sleeping apostles who couldn’t even think of touching them let alone waking them up?

Rather the fact that he did not immediately attack Lennok even after hearing those words was proof that Zaif completely trusted Lennok.

As soon as Lennok saw Zaif’s reaction he immediately changed his mind.

“Calm down. “I didn’t really mean to try to kill Amrita.”

“…then?”

“That level of commotion meant that we could buy some time before the archbishop could begin the ceremony.”

Lennok looked up at Amrita with his arms crossed.

“At least it is clear that the purpose the archbishop wants to achieve through the ceremony is related to the 10 apostles. “Isn’t that right?”

“….”

“In that case we need to clearly raise the suspicion that something is wrong with the 10 apostles.”

“I see….”

“And someone will have to stay and take responsibility for all of this before the archbishop.”

Before Zaif who flinched at those words could reply Lennok spoke first.

“I will stay.”

“Wait a minute that means….”

“You can run away from here and hide while the ritual is in progress. When I give the signal you can come out and help. “What do you think?”

“It’s dangerous.”

Zaif’s face hardened.

“If you touch Amrita you too will not avoid anger. “No matter how much we try to prevent the archbishop’s rebellion by interfering with the ceremony…”

“Isn’t this the plan I proposed from the beginning?”

Zaif was left speechless by Lennok’s calm words.

“Even in the worst case it’s right for me to take responsibility for all of this myself.”

“….”

“If everything goes wrong it is enough if you report all this treason directly to nature.”

“Apostle Evan…!!”

The image of Zaif calling out to Lennok in a hoarse voice.

In his mind Lennok already seemed like a martyr sacrificing his life for a mission.

Lennok looked at Zaif’s face filled with emotion and quietly patted him on the shoulder.

“It was an honor to be together even though it was a short time. Even if all these plans become irreversible…”

“No I won’t say goodbye.”

Zaif bit his lip with a solemn expression and turned his back.

“I’ll be waiting for the signal. “I must… stop all this rebellion and think only about living to see it.”

“….”

“I’m going.”

As soon as he said those words Zaif’s appearance disappeared from the room.

He must be thinking of running away to the outskirts of the island and hiding quietly out of the Archbishop’s eyes.

Only after confirming that Zaif’s presence and magical power had completely disappeared and was moving away did Lenno sigh softly.

“Whoa….”

Of course Lennok had no intention of taking responsibility for all of this and fighting violently instead of Zaif.

It’s just that at this point I left an appropriate excuse to separate Zaif and left room for him to use it in case of an unexpected situation.

Lennok walked slowly and stood in front of Amrita.

Without any intelligence or will they are simply absorbed in eating the food given to them and breathing evenly.

There is no trace of the apostle’s magnificent power high intelligence or external power anywhere in his body.

The only thing that caught my eye was an old mirror that had been carelessly discarded at the foot of the giant body.

“…!!”

Lennok who flinched slightly immediately threw the magician and grabbed the mirror.

A transparent crystal mirror processed into a hexagonal shape. Lennok had already heard of the existence of this mirror once.

While looking for a paper on existence projection I came across a paper that said there was a rumor that such an object exists.

The land running across the sea. A mirror that reflects the will to exist there.

To be precise it reflects a being with the same projection rate as itself but does that mean it is no different from a different form of itself?

Lennok looked at the mirror took a deep breath and glanced at Amrita’s reflection instead of Lennok.

Good luck!

What is reflected in the mirror is not a huge ball of hair but the image of someone sitting with their back turned and not looking in this direction.

“….”

It seemed clear that it was no ordinary mirror.

Lennok took a deep breath and stood in front of the mirror.

Along with that his own image quietly appeared in the mirror.

However the image in the mirror showed something other than himself.

An old worn-out gun abandoned at my feet. And blurry writing reflected far behind the mirror.

-Waiting.

“Waiting…?”

That moment when Lennok held his breath in a daze at the message whose meaning he could not understand.

[…It’s ironic.]

A roar suddenly resounded behind Lennok’s back.

A tall monster wearing an amulet mask was looking up at a huge ball of fur with his back turned.

[Even the apostles who supported the church’s power with the most strategic power are now nothing more than corrupted animals that have lost their intelligence.]

“….”

[Would you believe that all the tragedy happening here was purely a struggle to keep her in reality?]

Gap-seon’s quietly muttered words were clear evidence that he too understood what was happening here.

[It’s just a pitiful being that can only sleep on a full stomach if it eats humans. A beast that is satisfied by using its power and spitting out what it eats…]

Gapseon’s amulet mask shook quietly.

[Can one say that such an apostle receives the revelation of the end times?]

“Are you sympathizing?”

Gap-seon laughed hollowly at Lennok’s words as he quietly put down the mirror.

[That can’t be possible. But I’m just saying you should also know. That is the end of the incarnation that receives the will of the end.]

“….”

[I am referring to the cruel truth that most warriors and outstanding superhumans cannot avoid such an ending.]

Gap-seon continued speaking without turning his gaze away from Lennok.

[She is still surviving like this because the power of the apocalypse she supports is extraordinary. An ending worse than death awaits the believers of the church that worships the apocalypse.]

With those words Gap-seon slightly raised his gaze upward.

[Just like that.]

At that moment the furball’s back split open and a mouth made of sharp teeth popped out from inside spitting out the corpse.

Chop chop chop!!!

It’s a truly creepy noise if you look at it as if you’re savoring delicious food chewing and swallowing it gently.

However Lennok focused on the debris that Amrita vomited rather than the fact that she vomited.

Among the inorganic objects that came out of Amrita’s mouth were the faces of the agents that Lennok remembered.

Lennok muttered quietly as he looked at the body washing up at his feet.

“The delegates who attended the general meeting were being forced to make offerings to Amrita. so….”

His face was stiff unable to even resist as if he had never thought that the apostle would eat him.

Among the agents gathered in the square they were of relatively low level. Perhaps it was not until the moment of death that he understood his ending.

[Archbishop Naidri did not access the Sea of ​​Understanding for the apostle selection ceremony.]

Gap-seon’s voice became sharper.

[Perhaps their true purpose is not to create new apostles but to transform existing apostles into higher-dimensional beings.]

“Did you guess that from the beginning and continue the investigation separately?”

[I was somewhat certain from the moment I arrived on the island. Because it is an island like this it may contain one of the most deadly secrets of the cult.]

To what extent did you intuit the existence of Amrita and infer the existence of this space from that point on?

There is no way to know what kind of experience Gapseon had accumulated on the Western Continent but it seems certain that he had at least one close relationship with the religious order.

[It is highly likely that what is happening here is not the judgment of the religious leader. The monster is much more secretive and quiet than this and enjoys keeping everything under its eye without anyone knowing that the matter has already been taken care of.]

“….”

A statement as if he personally knew the leader of the religious sect.

However Lennok was not quick to refute those words.

The words and actions of the cult leader that Amilla Baenger the head of the church’s northeastern branch saw in her memory were not at all different from what Gap-seon said.

Even though he recognizes that it is just a part of someone’s memory he has a mysterious way of speaking and acting that clearly foresees what will happen in reality as if he has experienced it.

As a result weren’t all the words the religious leader mentioned about the well in the handbook correct without a single mistake?

Considering that it was understandable that Gap-seon was convinced that the current movement of the Far East Branch was something that was not part of the cult leader’s plan.

“…You think that the movement of the church itself is the Far East branch’s dogma.”

[Archbishop Naidri is a former priestess and has considerable influence within the church. If you think about it all of this makes sense. If the current situation is not the plan of the religious leader but the arbitrariness of the bishop…]

Does this mean that now is the only opportunity to destroy the Far East branch and kill Amrita?

Only then did Gap-seon realize why he was so proactive in solving this problem.

A small variable that arose in the movement of a religious denomination where everything is governed by the religious leader and apostle.

However if only it were possible to seal the Apostolic Art of Amrita’s Scale which is of great value.

The likelihood of conflict with the religious order while searching for secret locations across the continent to build new lighthouses will be significantly lowered.

No it would be possible to go beyond that level and drastically reduce the influence the church has on all corners of the continent.

If we borrow Lapis’s knowledge and judgment about the central front in the long run the truce agreement between the Order Federation and the church itself could be disrupted.

Gap-seon is saying that what is happening here now could be a bigger fatal blow to the church than anything else.

“…good. I understood what you wanted to say. “Don’t cooperate.”

Lennok who was glaring at the screaming humans being sacrificed to the apostle slowly nodded.

“But it’s impossible for us to do it on our own. “You know right?”

[….]

“At least three. We need the help of high-ranking observers who specialize in combat. “We must contact Lapis and request reinforcements.”

The observers gathered here are those who have the ability to respond to various situations selected through Lapis’s perspective.

However assuming a head-on battle it is also true that there are some shortcomings compared to specialized observers.

In the case of Lennok and Gapseon it is natural that they cannot deal with the entire Far East branch alone even if they are not limited to that category.

“If we use the Dominion Navy to block external intervention and directly attack Amrita to prevent the Apostolic Art from being activated we will be able to block reinforcements from the church.”

[The important thing is that time is needed until reinforcements from the lighthouse arrive.]

“I will take my time.”

[…Are you talking about yourself?]

“I touched various places inside the temple with the intention of disrupting the ceremony.”

Lennok turned his head.

“I roasted and boiled even one of the apostles just in case. “There are enough safety measures.”

In addition Enakpil’s five fingers more than a dozen blinking techniques and Jindun’s control code.

Other watchers may die on the spot but Lennok himself is more than capable of withdrawing at any time.

On the contrary if the task was left to other observers instead of Lennok to waste time there was a possibility that all the work that had been prepared with great effort would be ruined.

However Gap-seon must have been deeply impressed by Lennok’s attitude and remained silent for a long time before quietly nodding his head.

[This is not an easy decision… I salute your dedication to the lighthouse.]

“Contact P.O and Rafferd and break through the confrontation system with them.”

As Lennok said that he handed me a piece of paper with a control code hidden in his arms.

“If you use this you will be able to temporarily break through the island’s confrontation system and contact Lapis. “It will depend on their capabilities as to how they will receive reinforcements.”

Unlike Lennok who specializes in moving relatively alone Gapseon who specializes in talisman arts will be able to receive help from Lapis in more ways than one.

There was also a reason why Lennok not Gap-seon should remain in this position.

Gap-seon who was clutching the control code Lennok handed her looked down at it in silence and muttered.

[I was wrong. You are definitely similar to that man but you are also different.]

“….”

[As much as the young wizard puts in so much effort I also try my best.]

Immediately after confirming that the thyroid gland had disappeared Lennok looked at Amrita who was wheezing in silence.

Appearance similar to a huge pure white furball.

Ironically its appearance is somewhat similar to the appearance of the unknown monster that Dr. Bokmajeon took in the Hanghasa Labyrinth.

If it is not a coincidence the experiment the doctor is conducting through his research is probably…

Grumbling!!

Putting aside thoughts that had no immediate reason to worry Lennok lit a flame from his fingertips.

[Flame]

[Firefighting]

[The advent of revolution]

Rather than inflating the flame as a result of the spell the size of the flame is rapidly increased in a short period of time by combining several chants.

The heat of dozens of branches of flame rising in a spiral trajectory as if dancing with the touch of a hand splits apart as if tangled instantly expanding in size and size.

Damn it…!!

[Uuuu…!!]

As the heat of the fire intensifies from all directions Amrita’s body which was sleeping also trembles uneasily and her cries become louder.

Before the peacefully sleeping bodies of the 10 apostles were fully awakened Lennok captured the magic power that was running rampant in all directions and chanted it as a beast.

Flame series unique magic

[Red Guard Army]

[Taeheo Prayer Beads]

At that moment the flames concentrated in the center of the huge room rose up into the sky and turned into a huge pillar of fire.

Kwahiah ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh !!!

[KIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!!!!]

The screams of the 10 apostles Amrita who woke up screaming in pain at the center of the pillar of fire.

The room where Amrita was sleeping explodes as if bursting open and a pillar of fire rises into the sky creating an explosion so spectacular that everyone on the island can see it.

Lennok’s new form which rose above the room riding the rising air current of the pillar of fire stretched out its hand fully sensing the thousands of gazes looking down at it.

RURRRRR!!!

Hundreds of orthodontic technicians running from afar agents looking back at him from the podium.

And even Archbishop Izel Naidry looks back at this place with a stiff expression.

Lennok who had suffered all the shock and hostility alone gathered the surging flames into both hands and laughed.

“Let’s begin.”
