Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 498

Between immortality and mortality (6)
“…!!”
Lennok who came to his senses in an instant as if cold water had been poured on his head jumped up from his seat.
It wasn’t that I was distracted by concentrating on my work or that I was letting my guard down through magical power detection.
The other person actually appeared on the spot and spoke to Lennok at the moment he recognized it.
Could it be that Lennok’s magic detection penetrated a radius of several kilometers in an instant?
Or did he literally appear as if he had been called to this position? I don’t know which one it is.
However even considering all the possibilities there was no doubt that the opponent was a monster with unbelievable power.
“Why don’t you continue?”
The man smiled faintly as he looked at Lennok.
“If not will you please get out of there now?”
“….”
“If life and death are supposed to flow according to nature shouldn’t we be courteous to each other after crossing the other side?”
A man in a suit wearing thick glasses.
Unlike his impression of being somewhat sensitive and sharp the empty smile on his lips is impressive.
However Lennok twisted his mouth as he recognized the alien magic flowing from beyond the man’s appearance.
Even though they look like the same human being right in front of your eyes it’s so incredibly awkward that you can’t really feel that they are the same species.
Would this be what it would feel like if a monster that would tear up the sky and turn the earth upside down was speaking while wearing a human mask?
Even its presence is qualitatively different from the incarnations endowed with the will of the end that we have encountered so far.
He is one of the highest-ranking apostles within the Guido Church.
It’s almost certainly the cult’s most elite special power given a single-digit number.
Did the religious leader refer to this man as his friend?
Despite Lennok’s complicated thoughts the man continued walking without any problem.
“Well I’d like to thank you for leaving behind a body like this.”
He glanced at Lennok and then quietly bowed.
The man who carefully held Amrita’s body lying on the ground laughed.

“Even before I became an apostle I was a very faithful child. “Wouldn’t you be ashamed of the name Guido if I didn’t let you go comfortably on your way?”
“….”
“The other side is slowly being sorted out. What should I do…”
Although he turned his head aimlessly towards the sky Lennok knew what the man in front of him was looking at.
He is fully aware of all the battles taking place on the outskirts of this remote island and their progress and is contemplating whether to intervene.
Lennok looked at the apostle like that and quietly took out the elixir and ampoule from his arms.
The dosage is several times higher than that used for normal combat.
Even as Lennok who has improved his constitution to some extent he is afraid of the aftereffects but now is not the time to worry about such things.
This apostle who arrived as an ally of the church at the very end when everything was coming to an end is a monster more powerful than anything Lennok has faced on this island.
The delicate balance that has been established under the premise of no external intervention will be shattered as soon as such a being intervenes.
If the man cannot be captured here it would not be surprising if all of the observers including Lennok were killed.
The air is rapidly growing tense.
The man who was looking at Lennog blankly with an expression that did not know what he was thinking soon burst into laughter.
“I quit. “No matter how much I think about it the picture is not good.”
“…what?”
“Is it enough that we were able to recover the bodies of Amrita and Izel? “I’ll hand over what’s left on the island to you.”
“….”
Lennok remained silent at the apostle’s words which he could not believe even after hearing them in person.
That’s because it was difficult to believe what the man had just mumbled.
Are you saying that you have crossed the Sea of Understanding and reached the Far East branch single-handedly and yet you are willing to give up all your remaining strength?
A knight commander who assisted Archbishop Naidry agents of monstrous ability who were selected as apostolic candidates in each branch.
The high-ranking priests of the church and corrections officers followed them and threw themselves into the battlefield without hesitation.
And even the islands that run across this huge sea that make up the Far East branch.
The apostle in front of me was saying that it would be okay to hand over all of those things to the eyes of Cheong without hesitation.
“Hmm it seems difficult to understand. But this is not a decision I made alone.”
Sado grinned at Lennok’s reaction which kept his senses sharp and alert.
“I originally came with the intention of erasing all life here today but…”
“….”
“It’s been a really long time since he responded to a call in person. “That alone is enough to say that you are qualified.”
An apostle who calls Lennok by another name without hesitation.
Only then did Lennok realize that the man in front of him knew everything that had happened on this island.
How did the Apostle who had not been on this island until just now understand what had happened?
“You knew everything about the cult leader’s conversation….”
“This is a bit embarrassing. “Actually I don’t know everything.”
The apostle laughed.
“We just hear about what decision you made a little faster than others.”
This means that the apostle in front of us is not simply an incarnation of a god who serves himself but also shares the memories and intentions of the religious leader.

How strong must the original body’s power be to reach that level while even such powerful apostles suffer from mania and go crazy.
The apostle’s eyes as he looked at Lennok now became sharp with no intention of hiding them.
“Evan the Blue Eye Watcher. Is he now the new Apostle Evan? Well it doesn’t matter either way.”
The apostle said that and slowly turned his back.
“The disaster that occurred during this selection ceremony was relayed to apostles all over the continent through foreign media. From now on the winds of division that will blow within the church will be uncontrollable.”
“….”
“We do not necessarily recommend joining the Church to heretics who do not believe in the doctrine. It seems that He is planning to recognize even the person who killed Amrita as a new apostle but I think differently.”
The apostle’s eyes turned cold behind the thick lenses of his glasses.
“The paradise of the pantheon comes only to those who truly understand its meaning. In that sense you fall below the standard.”
“….”
“However it is the first time in hundreds of years that our gods have shown such great interest in a single human. Do you know?
The apostle laughed.
“What on earth is sleeping in your heart that makes you worthy of becoming an apostle of the godless sea? I’ll pay attention to it whenever it comes to mind.”
Questions and answers between Lennok and the religious leader. Because in the process I heard the leader’s decision and the whole story.
The apostle was saying that he would withdraw from this position without taking any action.
What the religious leader means when he says he will recognize Lennok as a new apostle.
That was no different from saying that the religious leader would accept even the turning point of an apostle who went crazy and did not believe in God as an apostle.
Is it any wonder that we end up accepting rather than being surprised by that crazy and arrogant decision?
“I see….”
Whether Lennok wants it or not as long as the cult leader’s approval has been granted that name will fill the vacant position of an apostle.
He is a new apostle who neither follows foreign media nor religious leaders nor believes in religious doctrines.
Interests that run counter to the original purpose of the denomination. This means that I will not even care about the current situation which is no different from my enemy.
While Lennok was thinking about the meaning the apostle holding the corpse slightly lowered his head.
“Poor Ezel…. She always suffered from the fact that she lost her position as a priestess due to her own mistake. “At the end of the day I’m glad that he did his best to fulfill his wishes and left.”
“….”
“Even though it didn’t end well she must be satisfied that she regained even for a moment the power of revelation she had longed for.”
For a moment I felt as if the Sado’s eyes behind the glasses glowed sadly.
“I am grateful for that. “I have nothing more to say.”
At some point the body of the apostle with his back turned disappears on the spot as if being cut off little by little.
A strange appearance as if crossing a door into an invisible space.
Lennok looked at the back in silence and suddenly opened his mouth.
“I’ll just ask you one thing.”
“whenever.”
“What number are you?”
“her.”
The man who let out a strange exclamation looked back at Lennok and grinned.
“This is the second time. “Newbie.”
The presence of the two apostles disappears as if they have been washed away leaving behind only those words.
Lennok looked at the man and quietly put the ampoule he was holding back into his arms.
An apostle who appeared on earth for the second time according to the will of the leader after the founding of the Guido Church.
Lennok who had gathered information by contacting them several times also did not know the extent of the significance of the existence of the Second Apostle within the church.
Would you say that he is a monster who possesses both overwhelming practical ability and popularity within a religious group that spans the entire continent?
I never would have thought that the Second Apostle whom I had only heard about through word of mouth through the priests of the church would show up here and face Lennok in person.
There is no place where his appearance words actions and exit do not disturb me.
However instead of obsessing over the meaning of the second apostle’s words Lennok took a deep breath and walked away.
Although the loss of Amrita’s body was painful in itself the original purpose itself did not fail.
‘The encryption of the apostle technique itself was successful. Just that one thing is enough.’
By directly blocking the will it was no longer possible to prevent the incarnation of the apocalypse that Amrita serves from being born.
At the very least it is a certain fact that they succeeded in sealing the magic called Amrita’s Scale.
Since Amrita’s body has left Lennok’s hands the encrypted seal itself cannot be managed directly but it will become clear that Amrita’s scale technique cannot be used within the church at least for the time being.
Maybe the information itself can be used as a valuable hint and sold.
With that in mind Lennok took out several bottles of magic potion he had made drank them all and started walking.
Originally I was planning to just let it all go and rest but what guarantee is there that a monster like the Second Apostle will appear once more and turn things upside down?
Under the approval of the Second Apostle the island itself actually came under the ownership of the Blue Eye.
Even if it was a bit of a stretch it seemed better to help other observers and quickly resolve the situation here and now.
“Cough!”
As I swallowed the potion like water I heard a sigh as if it were natural.
Lennok’s delicate body does not easily allow it to consume anything quickly.
Lennok coughed with a somewhat embarrassed expression and caught the rapidly building up magic power and spread it out everywhere.
The only sound of the potion bottle breaking behind Lennok’s back as he disappeared into the island was heard quietly.
* * *
“This profit…!! “Why are you suddenly using a scale technique?!”
Kujik!!
A sharp-edged dagger gets stuck in the back of the priest’s head as he makes a bewildered expression.
Blood drops form and drip down onto the blade of the dagger that pierces the back of the head and protrudes between the eyebrows.
The priest who was staring blankly at the drops of blood flowing from his head rolled over and fell to the ground with blood pouring from Goku.
“Wow! “So where are you trying to run away?”
A frivolous voice cackling from behind the fallen priest.
A young man with a pale powdered face approached with a grin on his face and pulled a blade from the back of the priest’s head.
A dagger that turns into a trump card and is stored away as soon as you grasp the handle.
“If you lose at gambling you should just stay calm. I don’t know why you keep struggling. This is why I don’t want to sit on the same table with religious people.”
Slam!!
Carrying a bleeding corpse they walk through an alley with flashing lights and neon signs.
I leisurely passed by the idiots lying around drowned in alcohol and drugs and opened the entrance to the simple garbage incinerator located nearby.
When I inserted a chip I had won at a gambling house a circular entrance opened that was large enough to fit a person.
Cheap!!
A young man throws a corpse into a hole with smoke flowing out of it and opens his hands as if he is relieved.
However he soon falls into trouble resting his chin as if he had done something pointless.
“Hmm it’s been a while since I’ve had a believer there… Should I have tried an experiment?”
“If Tokerfuzz conducts human experiments without permission it will only be a waste of money.”
A voice with no pitch coming from behind the young man.
“I don’t really want to recommend it.”
The image of a spider appearing faintly as if it would disappear at any moment with a spider web wrapped in the empty night sky.
Her upper body has the shape of a human woman but her eyes are covered by a thick eye patch making it difficult to see her facial features properly.
“…It was you Agneta.”
The young man who paused for a moment turned his powdered face and grinned.
“I didn’t expect you to come to me first. What happened?”
Agneta continued speaking with an expressionless face despite the clown’s appearance.
“I have something to say about a magician and leader named Victor who participated in Operation Well. “Is it okay for a moment?”
