The Genius Wizard Who Takes Medicine Episode 545
Kaise (2)
Crackling crackling….
Illya who was fiddling with the transmitter looked at it sighed and put it in her arms.
“Even if I replaced it with a spare part it would be virtually useless at this rate.”
Illya a member of Cybrid Echo was unable to fix the transmitter even though she was quite knowledgeable about mechanical equipment.
If Illya was like this other people would practically not even be able to touch the transmitter.
In this situation it was safe to say that there was virtually no way to contact Keegan at Kurbas Dam.
Illya’s expression begins to brighten as she fiddles with the communication device instead of the video transmitter.
This was because Felix’s somewhat tired voice could be heard faintly over the radio.
[…Ilya?]
“I see you’re safe Magat.”
[I got caught up in an unexpected fight… things went awry.]
Felix’s voice was extremely serious.
[It was moving with the class but it suddenly disappeared the moment it entered the vicinity of the power plant.]
“….”
[Once I finish the battle here I plan to head straight to the power plant. Considering the health of the class the burden of being away alone is ridiculous-]
“You won’t have to worry about your safety for a while.”
Illya slightly looked away and answered.
“I just saw you entering the power plant with someone guiding you. In fact I think we should say that he is making the fastest progress among us.”
[…what?]
Felix stumbled for a moment at her unexpected answer.
[Hey how on earth do you know that? No the question is wrong. Where are they now?]
“Rather than where I am now…”
Illya answered like that and slightly leaned forward.
Her body tilted and her hair fell like a waterfall.

The top of a power plant outlet whose end cannot be clearly seen.
Hanging upside down at the top of an outlet with a diameter of several tens of meters it stares into the endless darkness.
“We were just about to sneak into the power plant.”
[….]
“But I think I should contact you in advance before it’s the last time.”
Illya who has undergone body modification can see things that are invisible to the ordinary human eye.
An ultra-high temperature heat ray that cannot be seen with the naked eye.
The only ventilator in a power plant that not only serves as an outlet but also excludes intruders.
Illya was planning to directly access the internal facilities of the power plant through that place.
“Van drew our attention and the surveillance network in the sky relaxed for a moment. Thanks to you I was able to get here easily. “Others should probably be careful.”
Clap clap clap!!
Illya said as she checked the belts and ropes that were tightly attached to her entire body.
“He is a superhuman with tremendous flying abilities. It’s hard to believe that this person is from decades ago. “I didn’t see the face but it was probably the Three Heads of the Iron Blood Palace…”
Felix took a deep breath at the calm explanation.
[…I already realized it.]
“Isn’t that also true of the battle that Magat was involved in?”
Illya responded calmly and slowly leaned back. Her body turned upside down and arched loosely.
“The timeline of the enclosed area was completely tangled and the same was true for the people living within it. It’s not a fantasy in my memory. They are clearly alive and thinking.”
[….]
“In order to unlock this secret and stop the radiation exposure phenomenon the only way is to get directly to the core of the power plant. “Ban must have recognized that and chose to be captured by them.”
[What do you plan to do?]
“I’m not good at tact so I can’t go as easily as you but…”
Lastly Illya wearing goggles slowly untied her body from the belt and answered.
“I just hope I can at least help you in your moment of need.”
This is not a problem that can be solved simply by avoiding the heat rays surrounded on all sides of the exhaust outlet.
An extremely intense hot air rising irregularly from below. If you get caught wrongly your entire body will melt or be cut off by the heat rays.
But even though Illya knew this she was ready to throw herself into the darkness of the exit.
[Where on earth is Azlan… I haven’t even been able to contact you since the last message.]
“Oh I have something to tell you about that too…”
Ilya said as she unfastened all of the remaining belts.
“Azlan doesn’t seem to have much interest in the success of this operation. “I don’t think I should expect any help.”
[What on earth is that….]
While Felix was saying that he urgently asked Illya as if he had realized something late.
[Hey what did you see inside the closed area!!]
“….”
[Have you confirmed something related to Azlan’s secret? If you understand that in advance…!!]
“Innocent what you are looking for in this area is not any object or person.”

Ilya said.
“From the beginning he had no interest in anything but himself. “I think we realized it too late.”
[Hey wait there!! I will resolve this situation right now and join you…!!]
“At least one more person needs to help before the situation gets further out of control.”
Click!!
Without hesitation she unfastened the last belt and at the same time her body sank down.
Illya’s new form which narrowly passed through countless heat rays disappeared into the darkness beyond in an instant.
Only the last message she left rang out quietly.
“I will do what I can so Magat please do the same. please.”
* * *
“therefore….”
The appearance of a man lost in thought touching his chin with a disapproving expression.
“You newly participated in the operation under Oliveira’s orders?”
Her appearance was quite handsome with her curly black hair roughly swept to one side.
The magic power rising from that body was quietly spreading like ripples vibrating with a quite unique sound.
Instead of answering those words Lennok quietly observed the magic power radiating from Kaise’s body.
‘He’s not physically capable.’
It is very difficult to guess whether the opponent is a magician or a person with physical abilities based on one’s physical magical power.
This is because the system of techniques or the direction of imagery is not necessarily defined into two categories.
There are many cases where one has mastered pure magic but is strong in close combat or one who is close to physical ability but specializes in long-distance gunfire.
The only way to make a judgment is to comprehensively check the density of the physique muscles and the flow and direction of magical energy and make an educated guess.
However Lennok was still half-convinced that Kaise was not a person with physical abilities.
‘The magic flow is very unique. No it’s not at a unique level…’
Lennok’s eyes turned cold as he looked at Kaise.
‘The direction of the flow itself is going against the whole body.’
Basically the magic flow of a living being rotates along the direction of movement of blood vessels and is naturally supplied to the whole body as blood including oxygen.
Since it is the most basic driving force and source of power that constitutes the essence of the superhuman it is clear that it is ideal for it to occur and circulate simultaneously with life activities.
However rather than following blood circulation and vital activities Kaise’s magical power went against the flow of the entire body scattering its irregular patterns everywhere.
Ttuk ttuk ttuk ttuk!!
Magical power that reverses the sky which would never be possible without the influence of an innate constitution bloodline equivalent or ability factor.
It is extremely alien and powerful enough to go against the flow but it is not surprising that it causes real-time harm to the user’s body.
In this timeline Kaise’s health is probably not good to say the least.
Kaise must have sensed that he couldn’t take his eyes off the magical power that was going against the flow. He looked at Lennok blankly and spoke bluntly.
“He’s extremely rude as expected from the guy Oliveira brought in. “Didn’t you learn that it’s rude to look at people like that?”
“…I didn’t know you were the kind of person who cares about manners. “Be careful from now on.”
Kaise chuckled at Lennok’s pitiful words.
“Well looking at that reaction it looks like you have some insight.”
“Discerning?”
“Weren’t you looking at my magical power? “Not many people understand that as soon as they meet me.”
“….”
“She is the most powerful magical eye holder among the people I know. “It wouldn’t be surprising if that subordinate had good eyes.”
Lennok finally understood the meaning of Kaise’s words and smiled bitterly.
Kaise had already noticed that Lennok was not only observing his magical power but also possessed the Magic Eye.
Kaise said casually turning his back.
“If you possess that level of magical eyes it is not difficult to understand why you would belatedly participate in this operation. “There’s no way other guys would handle their work in a vain way so what can I say?”
“I understand quickly.”
“Anyway if you don’t want to help me now would you mind leaving?”
Kaise waved his hand as he began quickly manipulating the tablet again.
“It’s not long until we get the results. I need to finish the adjustment as quickly as possible and get some rest. “Before the research begins you need to get some sleep to preserve your stamina… lol!!”
Kaise coughed a few times shrugged his shoulders and looked away.
Lennok looked at Kaise’s back for a long time.
His easy-going yet somewhat indifferent nature seems somewhat different from the ruler of the shadowy world he has been imagining.
Regardless of his reputation as a strong man who ruled the underworld of a huge city his essence seems to be closer to that of a researcher or scholar.
Was it because he possessed these abilities and dispositions that he was able to bring together the darkness of the city by overseeing the Black Consumer Project?
Jenny’s grandfather. The boss of the underworld. A ruler who was betrayed by his henchmen.
There are quite a few people around Lennok who still remember that name and miss that era.
What kind of hopes and secrets did this man have that so many people remember him?
I wonder if that name still resonates occasionally in the back alleys of the city where everything is forgotten as the day passes.
If not now you will never be able to check it for yourself.
However rather than directly answering the curiosity he had in his heart Lennok said something else.
“It looks difficult. “Do you need help?”
“It is necessary but without basic knowledge it will only hinder you. “Do you think I’m carrying out these projects alone for no reason?”
Lennok quietly raised his gaze and looked at the huge mechanical device placed in the center of the power room.
Shape like a giant egg. The internal parts and circuits are clearly exposed inside the half-cracked shell.
The movement of magical energy that fluctuates ceaselessly within it and even the phenomenon of space being distorted.
Even a high-ranking wizard can only recognize that something beyond common sense is happening inside and it would be difficult to tell exactly what kind of research is being done.
However after seeing the radiation exposure in the closed area and the gap in the timeline Lennok was able to guess what Kaise was aiming for in conducting this research.
Lennok understood the moment he grasped the principle and structure of the mechanism through his innate intuition and transcendent sensitivity.
It is unknown whether Kaise was the most powerful transcendent and ruler in the shadows.
However he was undoubtedly one of the greatest geniuses this city has ever produced.
“I can only hope that Oliveira returns quickly to help me adjust-”
“In order to materialize the space-time domain the magic hardening rate will need to be further increased.”
Kaise’s words stopped suddenly.
Lennok continued paying no heed to that reaction.
“We are using a method of artificially extracting and expanding space but even the original is not correct. In that case we have to force stability by increasing the output by two times the current level.”
“Wait a minute you…”
“Are you trying to maintain the status quo by borrowing the chairman’s magical eye? “What’s the point in producing results with such a brief technique?”
After Lennok said that he immediately realized the answer to his question.
“I see… In the end isn’t even this the essence of the project? “If you are thinking of laying down a board as a test bed and building meaning on top of it…”
bang!!
At that moment the tablet that flew from the other side fell at Lennok’s feet and shattered.
Kaise stood up with an expressionless face and was looking at Lennok.
“You weren’t the one who called Oliveira.”
“….”
“You know what you shouldn’t know and you don’t know what you need to know. What is it?
Kaise asked in an indifferent tone.
His gaze was completely cold and completely different from before when he looked somewhat confused.
A cold and stern atmosphere as if they were going to kill and bury Lennok at any moment quickly filled the power room.
An inhumane presence that is not at all lacking in the symbolism of Lennok’s idea of being the ruler of the underworld.
“Why did you come to see me?”
“well….”
Lennok looked away with his arms crossed and trailed off.
In the end when I met Kaise I knew that things were bound to end up like this.
It was good to trick Farden McQueen into entering the power plant but I didn’t know how to react after meeting Kaise.
The Black Consumer Project the secrets of the city council and the existence of Alkaid the research currently underway in this closed area.
There are so many things I want to ask but if Kaise was in his right mind wouldn’t he be able to explain such secrets to a stranger?
However there is no way that it would be possible to scare or torture Kaise into giving out information. He wouldn’t be the kind of person who would fall for such a trick in the first place.
What is the only way to safely learn the secrets of the project and escape from here without being hostile to Kaise?
The conclusion had already been decided.
“I’m interested in the research they’re conducting. “I want to cooperate.”
“…what?”
That is why Lennok decided to help Kaise and put an end to what is happening in this timeline.
An extremely efficient way to take away Kayse’s knowledge about projects and space-time research.
“Through this research you are probably trying to deal with the construction of areas in actual construction right?”
Lennok continued talking about Kaise who did not respond.
“I will help you complete your research. Instead all you have to do is talk to me for a moment.”
“Please guess what I say….”
“It is true that I have a connection with Oliviara but I am not just an ally of hers.”
Lennok shrugged his shoulders and continued.
“I can’t stay here after McQueen comes back. I want to avoid unnecessary fuss. “I’m here because I want to see your research completed.”
“You can help me with the process?”
“It’s up to you to decide. But don’t you already know?”
Lennok answered.
“I can help you and I have no intention of harming you.”
“….”
There is no answer.
That’s probably because Kaise sympathizes with Lennok’s words but also has doubts.
It is clear that there is no hostility towards Lennok who passes by Gilleon who is monitoring the area near the power plant and attempts to talk to Kaise alone.
Nevertheless it is natural to feel suspicious about the offer to help with research.
However instead of striking down the suggestion like a sword Kaise just looked at Lennok with cold eyes.
As if waiting for the one answer that can connect all this unnaturalness.
‘…I see.’
As Lennok thought about that fact he realized that the correct answer was in the path he had taken so far and smiled without realizing it.
I feel with utmost vividness the reverberations of the terrible contradictions and coincidences that permeate this moment.
“Don’t you know yet?”
He extended his hand towards Kaise as if it had been decided from the beginning.
“Alkaid. I would have promised.”
By telling him the most perfect lie he had been waiting for.
