Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 501
by Jessie@AFNCC
Interim closing (2)
After resting for about a day Lennok finished preparing to leave immediately.
After talking with the observers who decided to stay on the island they board a boat heading out of the island.
Grisha laughed at the sight of Lennoc holding in both hands a lot of items such as the amulet Lafferd’s cross that Gap-seon had given him.
“You are quite worthy too. “We haven’t even been able to properly share the lessons of this operation yet. Do you have any regrets about it?”
Grisha took something out of his arms and threw it at Lennok.
Tuk!!
Lennok who had naturally missed it sighed and picked it up.
“If I hand it over to you nicely what’s the difference?”
“Huh? “I think something like this happened once before.”
Grisha tilted his head then grinned and pointed to the object in Lennok’s hand.
“Well I guess it doesn’t matter. “After all there is no one who has been more active here than you.”
“…So what about this?”
“This is the key that allows free access to all facilities on the island.”
Grisha said.
“Not only the third lighthouse that will be newly built but also the safe where relics and elixirs are stored and the hangar where material storage facilities are located will all be opened.”
She grinned and stared at the key in Lennok’s hand glowing with a faint blue light.
“You are free to use any items that can be opened with that key.”
“….”
Does this mean that all the assets accumulated in the name of the Far East branch of the church are actually transferred to Lennok’s ownership?
First of all it will be managed by the Qing Dynasty and used jointly but taking out and using the materials itself means that it will be subject to any questions at any time.
In fact a declaration that the assets that exist on this island will be returned to Lennok’s name.
Only then did Lennok chuckle understanding what Grisha meant by handing him this key.
“Since we are in a situation where we cannot share the credit right now are you saying we will give it to you in full?”
Although others may not know Grisha who has been working with Lennok since the beginning of the Blue Eye knows what kind of person the wizard named Evan is.
I guess I was able to hand him a key like this because I thought he wasn’t a greedy person even if he felt free to take whatever he needed.

Granting Lennok the entire assets of the Far East Branch is in itself a sign of trust in him.
“If you inject magical energy into the key the location of the island will appear in real time. “If you need anything take it yourself.”
“The location of the island comes to mind in real time? “Were these artifacts in the vault?”
“I made it yesterday.”
“….”
For something that yawns and replies it is a surprisingly sophisticated artifact.
Being able to observe and quantify the position of an island floating in the sea using absolute coordinates is impossible without the master’s excellent intuition and skills.
How amazing it is to create such an artifact in just one night and hand it to Lennok.
As Grisha himself had lived for a long time it was not surprising that he had a lot of experience in making cast iron and was very skilled.
The fact that such skills were revealed in this way was a bit surprising to Lennok.
“Well… it’s good. Among the church’s weapons there was quite a bit of useful equipment. “I’ll stop by often when I need to.”
As the Far East Branch was one of the places in charge of supplying the religious order to the rear the amount of materials and weapons stored there was considerable.
Among them there are also taboo weapons that cannot be used without permission from a member of the religious order.
Wasn’t the veiny greatsword used by Irina Fesfield of the Arashak Exploration Team also a similar type of weapon?
Lennok himself was not the type to use blades or long weapons but among the mercenaries he knew there were talented people who could use such weapons.
“Let’s go quickly.”
“okay. “There were a lot of unfortunate events this time but let’s try to do better next time.”
“That’s a rather interesting statement.”
Lennok laughed.
“When was the last time we got together for something fun and happy?”
Grisha smiled bitterly without responding.
Leaving behind the shaman who was clucking the candle Lennok immediately boarded the small boat.
Pio who was waiting on the boat skillfully pulled the motor and Lennok’s body jerked backwards.
thud!!
Lennok muttered irritably in the boat which was moving quickly through the current and away from the island.
“…Go slowly.”
“Hehehe I’ll take you there at top speed!!”
P.O and G.O. are laughing with playful faces.
The tension is strangely high even though his entire body is covered in bandages due to the aftermath of an intense battle.
Lennok asked as he watched the twins arguing that they were going to drive the boat.
“Are you feeling okay?”
Although the other observers also suffered quite a bit it was these twins who were the most difficult after Lennok in this battle.
Not only did they deal with several bishops who had lifted the restraint spell but they also waged a group war against hundreds of priests on behalf of Lennok.
Even if he had reached level 8 by fusing his mind and body the battle he endured in the deepest part of the temple would not have been an intense war of attrition.
Pio and Gio looked back at Lennok with slightly surprised expressions.
“I didn’t know you were the kind of person who could worry about something like that. “That’s touching.”
“That’s right. “When you first spoke to me you said you were a killing machine without blood or tears…”

“You crazy bastard be quiet!!”
P.O is scared and covers G.O.’s mouth.
Instead of replying to the nonsense he had been hearing so many times Lennok asked something else.
“An injury is an injury but we are talking about what happens after the fusion is completed.”
“amalgamation?”
“There is no way there is no cost to achieving unity in both mind and body. “There will definitely be significant aftereffects.”
“….”
We can guess that Lennok also roughly learned the principles of the fusion technique from them.
Twins born at the same time on the same day.
The perfect condition is that each person can learn the techniques of mutation and synchronization and complement each other’s differences.
But even so it is not easy for two people born from different lives to fuse into one being.
If through union two people can temporarily become beings of a higher hierarchy than they originally possessed it would also be clear that they would have to pay a high price.
Only then did the twins understand what Lennok was talking about and looked away with a embarrassed expression.
“Well… it’s not like there’s no problem at all.”
“Sometimes when memories are mixed or the fusion process is completed the state temporarily falls.”
“That’s right so at some point this bastard was with his girlfriend….”
“You fucking bastard don’t talk about things like that!!”
As if they couldn’t get serious again the twins started punching each other in the buttocks.
In the loudly shaking boat only Lennok’s complexion turns purple as he feels sick.
[Sigh… what pathetic organisms.]
Dabi who was watching in his arms sighed and turned on the motor and the boat regained its balance and began to move through the water.
By the time they reached the shore the twins had stopped fighting and got out of the boat and gathered up their belongings.
“Anyway I’m indebted to you in this matter.”
Pio holds out his hand to Lennok with a bruised and swollen face.
Although it was not because of the battle with the church but because it had just been created Pio’s expression looked serious.
“To be honest I’m not really interested in a mission that involves the destruction of the world or anything like that.”
“….”
“If you enjoy today it’s okay if tomorrow is a little difficult. “Wouldn’t tomorrow’s sun rise tomorrow?”
Pio said.
“Same. “If I did my best to live in the present wouldn’t it be okay to understand that the end will come someday… I think so.”
Are you the type of person who has no great feelings or antipathy towards the ending of the world? This is an unusual way of thinking for a high-ranking superhuman.
Perhaps it was because of his values of not caring much about his situation that he was able to master the art of transformation which is not limited by his appearance to such a high level.
Lennok quietly listened to him and then asked.
“But why did you join the Blue House?”
“Gio has a family.”
P.O slowly looked away.
“I don’t mind but my younger brother is different. “Both children are not even ten years old.”
“….”
“I don’t know exactly when the world will end but if we need at least a little more time wouldn’t this be the only place?”
P.O grinned as he said that but G.O. who cleaned up the boat and approached hit him on the head.
Bah!!
“Keu!!”
“Don’t be a bitch. “Who is your brother?”
Gio who looked back at Lennok while grumbling kicked Pio’s butt and kicked him toward the boat.
“Listen to what he says. “Because he’s such an unreliable guy.”
“I understand.”
“Unlike me he is a pathetic person who is disloyal has a selfish temperament and is not good at saving money….”
Geo snorted.
“That is no reason to accept the ending. I will survive. “My brother and my family too.”
“….”
“In that sense it is comforting to know that there is a wizard like you in the eyes of Qing… At least it doesn’t mean that my way of looking at people is wrong.”
Geo nodded looking into Lennok’s eyes.
“I owe you this time. Next time I’ll definitely pay you here. “Like my brother.”
A moment of silence.
But before that lingering feeling could go away P.O who was covering his head rushed towards G.O.
“This bastard really…. Don’t you know I came out a few minutes before you!!”
“You don’t understand what I’m saying. In the clan we grew up in those who came out later were born first…!!”
“….”
The sight of the two twins rolling around on the sandy beach and fighting did not match their serious determination just a moment ago.
Still I understood what they wanted to say.
Even talented people who were wandering around without belonging are now approaching the time when they must choose a direction.
As long as you remember and do not forget that fact that is enough.
“Lapis said that there will be one more joint convening of the East and West against castle-level observers. See you then!!”
“Hey that hasn’t been confirmed yet so I’m asking you not to tell me in advance…!!”
After that Lennok exchanged proper greetings with the two idiots with swollen faces and then turned around.
It wasn’t a bad time to spend a day or so hanging out with the watchers and talking about various things.
Perhaps it would have been a good experience to cooperate with them in building the third lighthouse.
However if you have to choose one thing time is running out and it is natural to focus on things that cannot be solved except now.
The interim settlement of the Pandemonium battle that I learned about from the mentions of the clown and Freya.
‘I originally had no intention of participating during this period…’
Through this incident I unintentionally obtained some valuable information from within the church.
Some of them are secrets that are likely to lose value in the near future.
As the situation in the denomination has changed it is necessary to check the trends of other organizations in advance.
Lennok was thinking that he should participate in the interim financial statements at this point in order to prevent the information from being corrupted.
I picked up my phone and slowly pressed the call button.
“Hi Leah. grow.”
A modulated voice that flows naturally.
[Victor…?]
A nun’s nervous voice came out over the phone.
“The midterm settlement of the Pandemonium I mentioned earlier. “I know there isn’t much time left.”
[….]
Ignoring the silence without an answer Lennok spoke in a cold tone.
“If you plan to participate please tell me the exact time and place. “I will go there from now on.”
[…Balkan satellite city Bayrutz. The exact time is midnight one day later.]
Hilea’s voice became much calmer after a brief pause.
The calm tone as if the person had changed was in fact proof that the person on the other end of the phone had changed his personality.
[However if you really plan to participate you will have to consider some friction.]
“What do you mean?”
[Many of the operations to collect relics from the old world have gone awry recently.]
“….”
[The situation on the central front has changed significantly due to the truce between the Church and the Order Federation and there are operations that have been directly affected by the aftermath.]
In the first place the purpose of holding a meeting in a satellite city was to settle interim accounts among members who acquired relics from the old world.
It is natural for people to feel uncomfortable if they have failed or suffered damage in an existing operation.
[The atmosphere will probably be quite harsh. If you know about what you did in the jungle recently there is a high probability…]
“You might want to check?”
Lennok laughed.
[…You’ll want to know if you brought something out of the well of the handbook.]
“good. “It’s enough to hear that much.”
As he seemed to be about to hang up Hilea added a word.
[The superiors do not interfere in any way with conflicts between members. If you want to save your life you must prepare thoroughly…]
Pop-
Lennok hung up the call and stuffed the phone into his arms.
Even if I tell you now what kind of organization Pandemonium operates on it only seems new.
That level of risk was assumed from the moment I received the mask.
As soon as Lennok took out the obsidian mask and put it on his face the shadow under his feet rose and took the form of a robe.
“Bairuchura….”
After checking the electronic map Dabi handed to him Lennok continued his steps.
“It will arrive in about a day.”
At the same time as the sound of the bike starting was heard and the shadow stood up loudly.
Lennok’s appearance had disappeared from the shore.
* * *
Bayrutz a satellite city in the Balkans.
A product of an urban expansion and development plan created to accommodate the explosive growth in population assets and supplies in megacities.
At the time the city government attempted to create a large city federation consisting of several satellite cities centered around the Balkan region but it came to nothing with the failure of the Black Consumer Project.
Satellite cities where investment was cut off were abandoned without any attention and have now become ghost towns that no one visits.
Only gangsters scavengers robbers and terrorists who wander outside the city occasionally use the satellite city as a hideout.
In reality even they don’t stay in abandoned cities like Bayrutz for long.
An abandoned city means that it is a place that is equally open to everyone.
Even outlaws who trample citizens can become mere prey in this lawless zone.
“Ooooh…!!”
dark night sky. A ghost town where the chilly wind blows.
The groaning sound occasionally heard through the tracks of a rusty floating train that was originally scheduled to run throughout the city.
The image of a dying man with his clothes emblazoned with the gang symbol stained with blood. The entire lower body has disappeared and blood is pouring out from the waist.
A gang member gapes at Lennok who glances back in this direction.
Despair appeared in the man’s eyes as he saw Lennok passing by without hesitation but he soon lost focus.
“You made a wise choice my friend.”
A skinny man suddenly appeared next to Lennok giggling.
“I’m worried because there aren’t many idiots walking around without fear like that these days. Do you know how sweet it would be if you cut them in half and eat their marrow?”
The man grinned and without hesitation came next to Lennok and started walking together.
“Those who have lived their whole lives believing they are superior are especially delicious. “Maybe it’s because I’ve never bent my back before but my cartilage is very fresh…”
“….”
“Being good at pretending not to know means knowing your subject well. That’s a great virtue. “I will do my best to keep it and live well in the future.”
At the same time as those words were said people appeared from all over the empty streets.
The man said with a grin.
“If you can survive even if you get cut off from the waist down.”
Not only are they all magic users but the bleak empty atmosphere that does not seem human is impressive.
Lennok nodded realizing that the look in his eyes was closer to hunger than simple murder or anger.
“Is it a ghoul?”
I have heard the story from Jenny through rumor.
When a superhuman who has learned or learned a martial arts technique from the spiritual and spiritual martial arts system falls into a state of suspended animation and is unable to wake up as usual.
Would you say that you become a monster that constantly desires the soul and body of the living with a body that can neither die nor live?
I remembered it as a story about an impressively terrifying monster but this was my first time seeing it in person.
Lennok who had turned cold behind the mask glanced around in silence.
“Seeing as you talk so much it seems like you were a decent superhuman when you were alive.”
“Hehehe is it really okay for a young friend to speak so harshly?”
A whitish spirit stands up behind the man and at the same time begins to take the shape of a skeletal knight.
Others surrounding Lennok also pulled out different spiritual bodies and narrowed the distance in the empty area.
“We are not idiots either. “I know you are quite the magician.”
The man’s jaw opened downwards as if it had been missing and a long non-human tongue stuck out from inside.
“But the food that you go through so much trouble to catch is an even more special delicacy. Do you understand why?”
An absolutely grotesque appearance as if he was chomping at the sight of Lennok.
But Lennok instead laughed at the man like that.
“It looks like you haven’t forgotten the meaning of effort despite being a monster worse than a corpse. “If you try a little harder you can imitate a human.”
As Lennok said that he grabbed the archangel’s compassion from inside his robe.
“Just die.”
The space transfer technique built into the compassion of the archangel a relic of the old world and a top-class artifact is activated.
At the same time the broken pieces of glass that had fallen at Lennok’s feet were stuck neatly on the man’s outstretched tongue.
Bababababaak!!
A spatial transformation so elaborate and complete that it is hard to believe that it was borrowed from the power of an artifact.
Lennok’s understanding of space manipulation had greatly improved through the battle with Amrita and his senses had reached the point where he could freely manipulate even the abilities of artifacts as if he were his own.
“Kihehehehe!!”
The man laughed maniacally rotting blood streaming down his face.
“This is of no use. There is no way!! “Let’s try harder…!!”
“Self-augmentation technique activated.”
Keyee…!!
At that moment a dazzling light burst out from the archangel’s compassion clutched through his robes.
Trapped in the robe of shadow most of it could not escape but some of it came out precisely through the cracks in the sleeves and covered the man’s face.
“Casting unique ability. Code Elysee.”
Cheeeeeek!!!
“Kwaaaaaa!!”
When the unique ability activated by the archangel’s tears was applied to the man the ghoul’s entire head melted on the spot.
“What the fuck!!”
“What have you done!!”
The sight of other ghouls retreating back in horror at the completely unexpected disappearance phenomenon.
The moment when Lennog ignored them and immediately tried to raise the archangel’s compassion once more.
A loud voice echoed from above my head.
“Is that a relic from the old world you brought with you?”
An elderly man hiccupping while holding a bottle of alcohol while sitting on the rooftop of a nearby commercial building.
He looks down with a grin on his face which has turned red due to drunkenness.
“Self-augmentation technique of the Holy Spirit system. “It is well-known as an extremely rare and unique lineage among relics.”
The room-sized posture with its bulging belly was extremely defenseless but Lennoc could not find a single gap in its appearance.
A person with strong physical abilities. It is undoubtedly that of a veteran who survived countless battles.
The drunkard’s eyes looking down at Lennok glittered with a strange glow.
“I’m sure it’s a valuable item but it’s used incorrectly. “You weren’t even interested in that branch in the first place right?”
“….”
“It must have been something I only recently acquired since I only use it to control ghouls.”
A man who talks without paying any heed to the ghouls watching from all directions.
Lennok asked silently letting go of the sympathy he had been holding on to the archangel.
“What do you want to say?”
“What I mean is I can teach you specifically how to use such an artifact.”
widely!!
The man who lightly jumped from a height of a dozen meters looked at Lennok and grinned.
“Instead if you have more good items let’s exchange them before settling the account. “How are you feeling?”
