Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 557



The Genius Wizard Who Takes Medicine Episode 557

From the end of failure (4)

“I was about to return from patrol in the Ramahal area when I was contacted by Lord Kaise and asked me to take care of one more thing.”

Claude said massaging his eyebrows as if he were tired.

“They asked me to deliver a message by noon so I shamelessly stayed here for a while. “I never meant to treat you poorly.”

Lennok who was listening to Claude muttering excuses asked quietly.

“Kaise didn’t give you any explanation about me?”

“hmm? well. “I told you to be careful about something but about you… weren’t you one of the collaborators in this operation?”

“…That’s it. “Let’s continue.”

As Claud tilted his head a mixture of black and white hair fell down his shoulders.

His behavior was completely contradictory to the innocence that Lennok had known with completely white hair and wearing pure white robes.

“Well that’s not really important. First let’s deliver Kaise’s message.”

Claud adjusted his posture and handed Lennok a bright yellow piece of paper in his arms.

“What is this?”

“I don’t know either.”

“….”

Claude responded to Lennok’s cold gaze as if making an excuse.

“I was only told to give this to you. “It was something that wasn’t planned in the first place so I didn’t have time to listen to the explanation.”

“You just told me to tell you?”

Considering Kaise’s attitude and actions so far he is not the type of person to suddenly throw out a riddle without any basis.

The shape of an amulet. It looks like nothing is drawn on it. If you think about the color of the letters that were originally supposed to be drawn on it…

‘Is it magical power?’

Considering what kind of magical power Kaise possesses the answer is probably certain.

The moment Lennok thought so he held the amulet upside down and infused magical power in reverse order from the back.

On the bright yellow paper the once erased character sequences began to appear as if going back in time.

[The space-time fixation device restoration work will be completed 4 hours and 38 minutes from the time this message is delivered.]

“….”

[We will use Gileon’s power to separate the space and enter the stabilization phase with Oliveira’s magical eyes.]

Did they realize that there were not many messages that could be transmitted through the firewall and immediately find the connection?

Considering Kaise’s magic of retrograde he would have written all the letters backwards from the back to convey this message.

[Farden McQueen is investing all his resources in protecting the power plant but he has reached his limit. There will be a major disruption in power plant security starting two hours ago.]

The letters that are restored in a retrograde manner cover the already written letters and become increasingly difficult to read.

There was now only one word that could be recognized from the letters that covered the amulet.

[There is only one chance to meet again. I believe you know what it means.]

Faaah!!

At the same time as all the messages left on the amulet were restored the letters stacked on top of each other glowed brightly at the same time drawing complex magic letters.

As soon as the message playback was over Kaise created the overlapping shapes of the letters into magic characters used for amulets completely removing any remaining traces and turning them into real amulets.

Claude who was watching it from the other side looked at the scene and added a word.

“It’s the amulet used to stop the particle power plant’s control room functioning. “I saw Lord Kaise use it when he was occupying the power plant facility.”

“….”

Claude nodded towards Lennok who was silent.

“It looks like they requested reinforcements to fill the security staff.”

Why did Kaise use the past Claude as a messenger to deliver a message and key to Lennok?

That may be because unlike other past superhumans Claude at this point is the only one who does not know whether Lennok is friend or foe.

However if Claude returns to the power plant it is natural that he will find out the truth.

Now that things have come to this point does he think it doesn’t matter if Kaise’s intentions are revealed?

In other words it was no different from saying that Kaise himself thought that the end of this situation was imminent.

Claude who was looking at Lennok strangely as he didn’t say anything soon stood up holding his spear.

“Then I’ll just go. “I think I need to get some sleep before the research ends…”

“Before you go I have some advice for you.”

“hmm?”

Claude turned his back on Lennok’s voice that suddenly spoke.

Lennok smiled sharply as he looked at Claude.

“It’s a very slim chance but a monster that looks like you might try to kill you.”

“….”

“It’s just an illusion so don’t ever deal with it and run away to the power plant. It would be difficult to deal with him in that tired state. Do you understand?”

Claude listened to Lennok’s words and then answered quietly.

“This is such a strange thing.”

“What do you mean?”

“No before I came here Lord Kaise also said something similar to me… That was the nuance of telling me to be careful.”

“….”

Claude looked at Lennok’s cold expression and asked cautiously.

“Is something happening in this area right now that shouldn’t be happening?”

“okay.”

Lennok answered without hesitation.

“Kaise will explain when we return to the power plant.”

“…I understand.”

Claude nodded and winked as he left the cathedral first.

“Take care of yourself. “That one too.”

“….”

thud!!

As soon as the door closes Claude’s presence quickly disappears to the other side of the cathedral.

The movement was so fast that even Lennok had difficulty guessing its speed.

Although he doesn’t know what’s going on Crood Azlan at this point is also a seasoned warrior with ample experience.

If Kaise and the person receiving the message say the same thing at the same time you know there’s a good reason.

After checking him out Lennoc slowly turned his back and muttered.

“It’s too late to catch up and hunt him now.”

Depressing silence.

But Lennok paid it no heed and continued.

“With this your wish won’t be granted for a while.”

At that moment a white flash flashed in the corner of Lennok’s vision.

Wow!!

A step beyond the gap between humans perceiving and responding to external stimuli.

However Lennok made no attempt to recognize judge or react to the flash.

The moment something moves at a speed exceeding the limit within the sensory area expanded through magic detection a blinking technique is automatically established.

As it was Lennok’s body moved one step to the side and narrowly avoided the attack.

The flash of light that passed by the back of my neck shattered the sky of the cathedral and exploded into a huge ring of light.

Kwaaaa!!

A white flash spread out in a cone shape shattering the fog and revealing a clear sky.

An expression of power that completely evaporated the upper part of the cathedral building in a split second.

However rather than being surprised by that fact Lennok looked back at the dispersing and disappearing forms of magic and said

“I told you I would teach you how to move your body with your mind.”

Before I knew it someone was standing where the white flash erupted.

With his gray hair flowing carelessly he wore a worn-out coat that had fallen off. The spear in his hand was half twisted and bent a miserable sight.

“But even if it doesn’t touch your heart if you recognize it in advance you can react somehow. “That is the privilege given to superhumans who use magic power.”

Lennok chuckled at the man.

“That evasive move you just made. “Did it look okay to you?”

“…It was good enough.”

Innocence raised his head and smiled darkly.

“It was so great that I wanted to kill him right here.”

“….”

“You know my secret wish but you choose to destroy it right before my eyes… Do you know how much pain this fact brings to me?”

Innocence muttered as he staggered away.

“I was persevering thinking I just had to hold on a little longer… but it’s all over.”

Slam!!

At some point Innocence who had fixed the slightly bent spear was standing in front of Lennok’s nose.

The white eyes hidden behind pure white hair were stained with a madness that could no longer be hidden.

“I can’t stand it anymore.”

“half!!”

Felix who rushed in at the explosion that erupted from the cathedral opened his mouth wide when he saw Innocent confronting Lennok.

“Ah Azlan…!! “Where on earth have you been and what have you been doing all this time!!”

It was not Innocence who answered that question but Lennok.

“I was looking for an opportunity to hunt down my past self.”

“Sa hunting? Or rather Azlan you also participated in that operation before?!!”

Felix stuttered.

“How could you not tell us that fact in advance…!!”

“It’s natural. “If you know that fact you will be able to quickly guess Innocent’s purpose.”

Lennok explained without avoiding his innocent eyes.

“How can I explain to others that a level 8 war hero who is a martial arts protector is trying to cure his madness by stealing his own body?”

“….”

“I knew that although this space was infinitely close to the real past it was not real in the end. That’s why innocence…”

Lennok said confidently.

“I was planning on stealing body parts from my past self and replacing them.”

* * *

The shattered cathedral fell silent after Lennok’s shocking remarks.

Felix looks at the innocence with a disbelieving face and Illya looks somewhat calm.

Even the look of innocence with his head down.

“Considering that he has difficulty controlling basic impulses and excitement he was probably targeting the pituitary gland which is responsible for endocrine hormones.”

Only Lennok’s voice broke the silence and rang out.

“It is located deep inside the brain but it is relatively small so with a decent skill it can be removed without causing much damage. Because it is your own body there is no reason to worry about any side effects or reactions. No rather…”

In fact it must have been the only solution for Innocence who had become powerful enough to rise to the top.

The body which has transcended hierarchy and become independent cannot even accept any variables or feelings of heterogeneity other than its own.

“Stealing healthy body parts from your past self and replacing them…”

Felix who understood what Lennok was talking about grabbed the hammer strongly.

“Is that really possible?”

“Perhaps innocence knew what was going on in this closed area. “They must also be aware that there is no problem with replacing body parts in this way.”

Lennok continued to explain.

“That is because this space is not a real timeline of the past nor is it simply an illusion or a fragment of memory.”

“….”

“This space-time created by the mixing of Kaise’s power is a part of the space-time realm that is infinitely closer to the real thing. “Decades ago he really succeeded in capturing a specific time zone in the world and fixing it within this zone.”

Illya who was silently looking at the innocence said while slightly biting her lip.

“Actually I saw Azlan from the past in person on the way to the power plant.”

“….”

“At the same time I was able to guess why Azlan accepted this mission. But I never thought such a secret would be hidden…”

If you think about it unlike Felix Ilya didn’t seem to expect much help from innocent from the beginning despite Lennok’s words.

I thought there was a change of heart but maybe it was because I had already seen for myself who innocent was targeting.

“Why was the Central Council so focused on hiding this fact?”

“Isn’t it understandable because it is a miracle of this magnitude?”

“yes?”

“Kaise was a rare genius and there were few researchers of his time who reached an equal level. “It’s still the same even decades later.”

Lennok laughed at Illya’s surprised expression.

“It would not have been possible to continue research or develop it in a different direction. “All I wanted to do was preserve it here.”

The magical power of reverse heaven that can rewind time. Strong and capable colleagues who were by his side.

In the midst of a huge storm of war where the monsters of the city were working with all their might for a single project.

There was even a being who called himself Alkaid who was leading the project with Kaise.

It is a miraculous piece created by combining talents and intelligence that could not easily be combined as one.

From the city government’s perspective isn’t it natural to try to maintain the original in some way rather than hastily damaging or destroying it by tampering with it?

Unless a researcher with genius talent that surpasses Kaise appears.

‘I see. Perhaps directly inspecting an event such as a fair in the Senate itself…’

It may have been an attempt to find talent who could touch the secrets left in the closed area.

That was something that had to be confirmed by joining the Central Council’s Technical Advisory Committee as Evan Bylan.

“After the ban was lifted I have been looking for strong people who remain in my memory for a long time.”

Innocent who had been silent for a long time spoke in a calm voice.

“I believed that in order to quell the boiling heat I would have to face them directly and win the battle. But no.”

“….”

“No matter what I do the fight and bloodlust that exists within me grows stronger and stronger divining my very foundation. “He is going crazy because he is violating reason.”

A tone so shaky and unstable that it’s hard to believe it came from an unmanned person who was with us all the way into the closed area.

Could it be that cracks of this magnitude had already spread through his mind and body but he was forcibly hiding them and assuming equanimity?

Innocent Crood Azlan had been aware for a long time that something was wrong with his mind.

In order to solve that problem the law was lifted and at the same time he continued his external activities and dealt with powerful people such as Maiya Rensleyt.

Realizing that even that couldn’t be the answer he planned to head to the closed area as a last resort.

In order to take the body of the past self that was healthy and take it to return to its original state.

“What do you want?”

Innocence asked.

“As you can see I no longer have any strength left to continue the operation. “I have no intention of doing so.”

“….”

“I’m sorry for dragging you in but if you run away now your life will somehow be saved.”

He quietly nodded clutching the bent spear pole.

“Go. Don’t look back twice. “Before I go completely crazy and attack you all.”

“No there is a way.”

Lennok met his gaze seeing such innocence.

“Help us get back into the particle power plant.”

“…what?”

“If you the person from the past you just missed followed my advice and Kaise’s warning properly he will never leave the vicinity of the power plant. “Don’t you know what this means yet?”

Lennok continued looking at the silent innocence.

“It means that for the first time you will be able to pinpoint the location of your past self who abandoned even your strategy and was searching for you in this area.”

“….”

“Nothing has changed. All you have to do is help us get into the particle power plant and meet Kaise again.”

“From the beginning….”

Innocence muttered as if in pain.

“Did you plan to use me like this from the beginning?”

By making the innocence of the past escape Lennoc prevents the innocence of the present from achieving its immediate goal and sets the stage so that he has no choice but to head to the power plant.

Innocent was asking whether the advice he gave to his past self at the end was something he said after taking everything into consideration.

“I don’t know what that means. “Who was it that was in charge of directing the operation and abandoned us to pursue its own goals?”

Lennok let out a cold sneer.

“I have no intention of criticizing that fact here. “I’m just suggesting a compromise that will benefit both of us.”

“….”

“Just help us get inside the power plant. “After that it’s up to you whether you want to find a replacement or not.”

“…Who do I have to deal with?”

Lennok laughed sensing that the answer was actually a kind of affirmation.

“They will have to deal with Madrich Onion. “Can you do it?”
