Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 556



The Genius Wizard Who Takes Medicine Episode 556

From the end of failure (3)

Slam!!

With the sound of a complete loss of communication the conference room at Kurbas Dam fell into a dead silence.

Dozens of people stared at the woman standing in the center of the conference room without even making a sound.

The overwhelming presence of a being wearing brightly colored clothing with his face covered by a veil filled the space of the conference room.

Oliveira didn’t say anything just looked at the broken equipment due to loss of communication and then walked away without any hesitation.

The sight of the vampire Virgil gliding along behind her.

Keegan gritted his teeth and opened his mouth.

“Now wait a minute…!!”

[….]

“Are you planning on coming all the way here and leaving with only a few words?…!!”

Oliveira quietly turned her gaze to Keegan’s words and stared at him through the veil.

Cold sweat ran down Keegan’s back just by looking at the faint glow of the demon’s eyes hidden behind a veil.

Pressure pouring in along the line of sight. It is difficult to resist the sound of magic power pressing down on your shoulders.

But in the meantime Keegan tried not to forget what he had to do.

“Considering the procedures and responsibilities I omitted to guide you to this place this is not enough.”

Keegan out of breath continued speaking with a pale complexion.

“Please provide more solid information and circumstantial evidence about the inside of the closed area….”

“…Administrator Keegan Grimes.”

At those words the vampire Virgil who was standing behind Oliveira slightly exposed his teeth.

At the same time a thick bloody smell emanating from under my feet. Keegan took a deep breath without saying a word.

“I understand your situation but I can’t allow rude words and actions.”

“….”

The environment inside the conference room is slowly deteriorating just by revealing a faint trace of life.

An ancient vampire who overtook Farden McQueen as the first president and took over the position of de facto CEO of the cartel.

It is even rumored throughout the world that its intelligence and power are the most well-balanced even in a large corporate alliance.

“Cartels are not tied to the interests of city government. “If you want to understand that fact in a way other than words there is no reason to stop you.”

If a level 7 Aspect ability starts taking action here there will be bloodshed.

But Keegan gritted his teeth and shook his head.

“…no. Still I have to listen. “If you know anything you must clearly state it here.”

A claim that seems somewhat far-fetched. But Keegan wasn’t throwing a tantrum at Oliveira for no reason.

It is not simply to compensate for the risk taken to bring her to the dam.

The fact that Oliveira himself arrived at this location is clear evidence that he had the intention of heading directly to the closed area.

However after a brief conversation with Lennok she gave up the plan without any hesitation and walked away.

Keegan thought that the reason for his change of mind must be explained here.

Because Oliveira’s small change of mind would not be possible without the assurance that this matter could be resolved.

“You don’t understand the warning.”

Virgil didn’t speak twice. His red eyes sank coldly.

The two streams of blood welling up between his fingers spun in a spiral and grabbed Keegan’s collar.

“Whoa whoa…!!”

Keegan’s expression which is a combination of a young man and an old man becomes painfully distorted.

Keegan’s limbs trembled as the rising blood grabbed his collar like a living grip and suffocated him.

[That face.]

The reason why the blood-filled grip that threatened to break my neck stopped at any moment was because of the shouting that rang out from beyond the veil.

[You are a survivor of the closed area incident.]

“Cough!!”

A stream of blood came out like a lie. Keegan collapsed and coughed weakly.

[Most of them would have died shortly after the radiation exposure but they managed to survive and come here.]

“Huh oh oh oh…!!”

Oliveira turned her head lazily towards the fallen Keegan.

She sat down slightly made eye contact with Keegan and muttered.

[Kaise was not very happy to see victims like you. He believed that the sacrifice he had made was an error resulting from the gap between inadequacy and failure.]

“Whoa…!! Who would be happy about that…!”

[yes.]

Oliveira obediently agreed.

[But in the end of this crazy world it is only a trivial sentiment. At least it should look like that.]

“that….”

[Because that mistake in judgment ultimately killed Kaise.]

“…!!!”

A statement so shocking that even Virgil who had been listening to her in silence slightly took his breath away.

Oliveira slowly stood up in the quiet conference room.

[I am telling you this story because I believe that you as a survivor of that incident deserve to hear about Kaise’s final moments.]

“….”

[The person who ruined your life eventually died in a similar way to the one who sacrificed you.]

Looking at Keegan who couldn’t say anything Oliveira said with amusement.

[This is usually the ending for those who put their own lives on the chess board.]

“…You too?”

Keegan asked quietly.

“Do you think your ending will be like that?”

Virgil furrowed his eyebrows at the shameless question that seemed like he was throwing away his life but stopped when he heard the sound of laughter coming from beyond the veil.

Oliveira looked down at the fallen Keegan for a moment and responded with unwavering cheer.

[Do you mean this?]

There were no further questions and answers.

Oliveira and Virgil quietly walked down the hallway leaving the silent conference room behind.

The cartel’s elite unit waiting outside the conference room quietly guided them to the rooftop of the dam’s water wall.

Tutututu!!!

A heavy black aircraft gliding over a wall of water while making loud noises.

The water wall of the dam. Due to the influence of the closed area flying is thought to be virtually impossible and they are flying around the closed area without any problems.

[It looks like the newly developed airship has already arrived. What would have happened if anti-gravity technology had not been commercialized?]

Oliveira glanced up at the airship and said with satisfaction.

[Evan Bylon has truly done a great job. The landscape of this city will change a lot in the future.]

“Researchers at cartel headquarters are looking for ways to contact Evan Bylan. “To dramatically improve performance the cooperation of the paper authors is essential… We plan to entrust this task to the board of directors.”

Virgil who reported on the headquarters’ airship mass production project asked as he boarded the airship with Oliveira.

“Do you mind if I don’t help the class? “Even if the Chairman is making a move I came with the intention of stepping forward myself if the situation arises…”

[After meeting Kaise once I survived and contacted him so there was no need for me to move.]

Oliveira looked tired leaning slightly on the seat and lowering her head.

[That is proof that this situation will not be easily resolved by the will of either side Kaise or Gore. I’ve confirmed that so it’s okay.]

“Are you saying that the fact that the situation is not resolved quickly is a good thing?”

[A piece of the past that is different from reality but is infinitely close to reality… It is not at a level that can be dismissed as simply fantasy or memory.]

I felt like Oliveira was smiling slightly from behind the veil.

[It’s a dream we all once had and a dream some people still dream.]

“Dream… you mean?”

[Between endless rest and daydreaming someone has not yet given up on that wish. And I think I know to some extent who that person is.]

“….”

[Innocent probably noticed this and tried to regain himself in the endless dream…]

Only a faint mockery remained between the receding airships.

[He wasn’t the only one who thought that way at the time.]

* * *

A cold foggy cathedral.

A huge structure located in the southern meadows of District 25.

Lennok hid between buildings with the cathedral visible from afar and took out a stimulant.

Although the fatigue from the intense battle has not completely disappeared there is no time to rest for a long time to take care of your body.

We have no choice but to continue our forced march even if it means relying on the power of medicine.

“Do you see anything?”

“…at all.”

Felix who was hiding his uniquely large body between piles of collapsed concrete answered.

“I don’t feel any special presence or presence outside the cathedral.”

“I guess we can’t rule out the possibility that it’s a trap.”

Ilya said as she checked the equipment she had.

Slam!!

One of the five ultra-vibrating spears was already half broken and on the verge of losing its function.

After hesitating Illya eventually broke the broken sphere in half and completely stopped its function and took out the parts from inside it.

The sphere created with Cybrid Echo’s technology contains a control device inside that manipulates movement by linking with Illya’s brain waves.

The practicality of resonating brain waves with magical power to integrate them with the movement of the spear and applying it to the battles of superhumans.

It is an item whose value and rarity can be considered. It must have been difficult to just throw it away in a place like this.

“In the worst case scenario we may be surrounded the moment we arrive at the agreed upon location.”

“…No that side doesn’t have that much power either.”

Lennok who was pondering Illya’s words shook his head.

“The power invested in Kaise’s research is limited to a small number of elites. “If monsters like Oliveira or Madric move you can definitely recognize them in advance.”

“….”

“The method of delivering the message was too secret to be a trap and the meeting place was too far from the power plant. “It’s proof that I have no intention of doing anything foolish.”

“but….”

Instead of answering Lennok stood up and started walking.

Felix and Illya naturally stood up following the wizard holding a cane but Lennok immediately put up his hand.

“Go alone.”

“It’s dangerous in situations where your class doesn’t show up.”

“No it would be safer for you to watch the situation from outside.”

Lennok glanced at the two with a cold gaze.

“As Ilya said if you think about the possibility that it is a trap you should stay even further away. “Wouldn’t it be the worst to have three people surrounded at once?”

“….”

Leaving the two people unable to answer Lennok walked straight toward the cathedral.

The quiet sound of footsteps echoing through a city that feels deserted.

Even though it is noon the fog surrounding the cathedral is thick enough to make it difficult to see an inch in front of you.

Sigh…!!

Lennoc opened the door of the old cathedral with his bare hands and saw that the dust coming out of the fog had filled the chapel inside the cathedral.

Coughing softly I walked to the front of the chapel and sat down on an empty chair.

“I came alone as promised.”

Lennok muttered to himself in the deserted chapel.

“Kaise himself won’t post it himself so it’s probably a messenger… If you have something to say let’s finish it quickly.”

Felix and Ilya didn’t seem to notice but Lennok had already known for a long time that someone was waiting for him inside the cathedral.

The faintest traces are detected through magic detection and the location and traces are projected using spirit angles and magical eyes.

“Or are you planning to pray together in this old chapel?”

“…That can’t be possible.”

With those words someone’s appearance slowly began to be revealed as if color was peeling off the chair across from Lennok.

“I recognize the existence of gods but I have no intention of worshiping them. “This place is just an incomprehensible space to the unmanned person.”

A scruffy figure leaning crookedly with his arms crossed and holding something long in his arms.

A wide black coat that doesn’t give a good feel to the body’s shape and hair of a strange color that resembles a checkerboard with black and white mixed in.

However the moment Lennok saw the young man’s face revealed at the end he felt his breath taken away.

“I stayed up all night for over 15 days. The feeling of wanting to finish the operation as soon as possible and return home is the same. “Let’s finish this quickly and part ways.”

“….”

“Why do you look at me like that? “Hmm it’s already too dirty to ask if there’s something on your face.”

Lennok could not say anything more as he saw the young man scratching his head shyly.

However after thinking for a while I finally came up with a name in front of him.

“…Clord Azlan. Was this the purpose? For this…”

“hmm? “How do you know that name?”

The young man who looked slightly surprised quickly nodded with a satisfied expression.

“Hehehe it looks like the achievements made on the front line are slowly starting to spread to the city. Are there already strangers recognizing me?”

“….”

“It was a good thing that I participated in Lord Kaise’s operation before the civil war ended. “I hope that this too will be clearly recorded in the public domain of the text.”

Did Kaise know this and send this man to Lennok as a messenger?

The face of the young man sitting in front of Lennok looked very similar to the level 8 Changsha who led him to the closed area.

No saying that they resemble each other is not enough.

If you skip a few decades and imagine Claude before he has yet reached his peak his face will probably look like this.

By building up the hierarchy he has escaped the effects of aging but his expression is full of life before he is shaken by madness and unconsciousness.

Past superhumans who participated in Kaise’s operations.

It wasn’t just executives from the past Oliveira or Madrich Onion Deadrise.

Claude Azlan a former innocent warrior and level 8 spearmaster also participated in an operation to help Kaise’s research decades ago.
