Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 558



The Genius Wizard Who Takes Medicine Episode 558

From the end of failure (5)

After reaching an agreement with the innocent Lennok immediately led his party to a new location.

A downtown area with a power plant visible in the distance but somewhat free from ghost ship searches.

said Lennok who magically projected an image onto the screen in a quiet movie theater.

“Currently there are five superhuman powers that are cooperating with Kaise’s research at the particle power plant.”

Lennok tapped the screen as he watched people sitting anywhere in the movie theater and checking the equipment.

“Farden McQueen Gileon Madric Onion Oliveira and Claude Azlan himself.”

“….”

“I’ve dealt with the others once so even if I skip it I’ll just hear the story about Claud Azlan’s own hierarchy.”

“At that time I was participating in the war with enlightenment and strengthening my own inspiration in actual combat.”

Innocence who was leaning on the seat right next to the hallway answered quietly.

“By the time the civil war was over I had already figured it out and a month after the war ended I transcended the hierarchy and reached the top.”

Felix and Illya clicked their tongues at the calm words of innocence.

“It is so easy to say that we have transcended hierarchy….”

“Even if everyone strives for their entire life they can’t even reach this point.”

Even as he spoke unable to hide his admiration his innocence was indifferent.

“To be precise at this point we were not yet at the highest level. “I had a similar feeling when I met him face to face.”

Lennok also paid no attention to what he said and asked again.

“If you participated in the operation do you know how Kaise’s research ended?”

“Unfortunately I don’t know much.”

Innocence shook his head.

“I just inspected the area around the power plant for a few days right after the civil war entered a lull. “Unlike now the research was completed quietly and no further results were reported.”

“….”

Although they knew what kind of abnormal phenomenon was happening in the closed area did they act arbitrarily because it was an incident that passed quietly at the time?

Just in case it seems that Innocence didn’t know what conclusion Kaise reached in the original timeline.

“Kaise is calling us out without even telling his friends what he found out.”

Lennok said as he glanced at his cell phone in his arms.

“In order to completely stop the radiation exposure phenomenon and return those trapped in the past it would be efficient to borrow the power of the designer who led all the research.”

Looking at the group listening Lennok snapped his fingers.

“So we have to decide who will hold our ground against whom in this operation.”

“You mean it requires choice and focus.”

It’s not that I haven’t considered the possibility that all of this is a trap.

However if Kaise was planning to kill Lennok why didn’t he try it the moment he guessed Lennok’s identity?

Even when I secretly sent a message to Lennok using a firewall network.

Even when I called him to the cathedral and delivered a message to Claud from the past.

There were countless opportunities and even though Kaise knew them he passed them off as if they had no meaning.

It’s not like I want to kill Lennok but I really want to talk to him again and tell him something.

‘Even when we first clashed Kaise’s attitude wasn’t that active. As if observing and waiting for something….’

The reason that this space-time which is not reality exists infinitely close to reality is not only because of research on fixation in space and time.

Constructing and maintaining the disconnected space-time in a form close to reality is the influence of something unrelated to Kaise’s will or power.

Perhaps it was not the power of Kaise himself but the power of a being called Alkaid who collaborated with him.

‘He might have noticed to some extent by now.’

If Kaise himself had known that he was a being from the past he would have also recognized that they could not exist with such independent thought and power.

In that case it is also natural to want to talk directly with Lennok rather than with his colleagues.

Lennok was vaguely aware of how far Kaise’s thoughts had reached so he was thinking of following the message and entering the power plant once again.

“I will leave the judgment on site to a certain extent depending on the situation but basically I plan to set the entry order to create a different structure from the last time.”

Ilya and Felix each faced McQueen and Gilleon but despite their outstanding abilities they were unable to easily overcome them.

This is not simply because the two people lacked skills or capabilities but because they were matched with opponents that made it difficult to determine superiority or inferiority in terms of ability.

In that case it was necessary to change the composition and re-set the game even if it meant taking some losses.

As Lennok said so he displayed the scene of the power plant on the screen decided on the entry structure and viewpoint and set up a breakthrough route.

“I will take charge of the first entry. “I am confident in taking my time and persevering.”

“I will target the underground power room directly. “I want to create a structure that is as comfortable as possible for the class.”

Felix and Ilya who were accustomed to this type of operation also quickly set out to find what to do.

We do not hesitate to prioritize strategic decisions over individual burdens.

All of the superhumans gathered here are close to aces in their respective organizations. Everyone is accustomed to taking responsibility.

“There are less than three hours left until the time Kaise promised in his message. “Once we’re ready we’ll leave right away.”

Lennok who finished the meeting in an instant said that and left the theater rubbing his temples.

Because of one fierce battle a considerable amount of mana and energy have been consumed. This is a situation where Lennok as well as others needs to make his own preparations.

In this situation I need to get some rest to improve my condition and regroup.

The moment when Lennok was thinking that sitting back in the deserted movie theater cafe closing his eyes and trying to calm his mind and body.

“I guess it didn’t go far.”

He felt Innocence follow him out of the end of the hallway.

He came in front of Lennok with his back to him and quietly placed something in front of the cafe table.

chin!

“This is the deliverance of Tuin that I promised.”

He answered with a look of clouded innocence.

“How to move your body with your mind. I said I would teach you myself. “I’m sorry I couldn’t keep my promise.”

“…Touin’s rescue? “Is this what you mean?”

Lennok picked up the item that Innocence had dropped with a slightly embarrassed look.

What he said was the salvation of Tuin was not a simple booklet or scroll with information.

What innocence put down was a small wooden statue in the shape of a warrior as if it had just been carved.

Lennok’s eyes as he was carefully examining the wooden statue glowed faintly.

“I see. On the surface of the wooden table…”

The surface of the wooden statue which appears to be unmanned has something engraved in extremely small letters that are difficult to see with Lennok’s naked eyes.

The number of letters engraved on the surface of the small wooden statue is immeasurable as if a Buddhist sutra were carved with a needle stitch by stitch on a grain of rice.

The engraved letters were rotating along the wooden statue drawing a beautiful picture on the body of the warrior.

[I leave this phrase to overcome the wall of martial arts through mental study.]

The moment Innocence said that the wooden statue Lennok was holding slowly moved and changed its posture.

Suddenly…!!

“…!!”

The appearance of the warrior who was holding his hands together changes to a stance with his arms and legs spread out at an angle as if he is about to start a sparring match.

“When you recite the verses engraved on the wooden statue the movements change accordingly.”

Innocence explained.

“This is the best way to show the process of the body being reorganized according to a specific intention. “It is a type of ancient relic used to leave secret messages in the text.”

“It’s a relic….”

Lennok responded and nodded slowly.

An object made so that the martial arts techniques can be written down and the method of movement can be visually recognized.

In his spare time Gyeongbaek was concentrating on holding the wooden statue and writing the phrases of the two people on its surface.

“The teachings of Tuin do not refer to how to learn and practice it correctly. “It’s closer to taking an already completed sample and showing the result.”

Innocent’s voice echoed in the quiet hallway of the movie theater.

“In the end the mind is shaped into different forms depending on ideals and desires. “Unless you watch from the side and make adjustments one by one it is impossible to awaken your mind with just a few lines of text.”

“For that purpose I asked you to teach me directly.”

Innocent laughed weakly at Lennok’s mocking reply.

“I’m sorry that things happened this way. “It’s the result of my vice…”

“….”

Of course Lennok didn’t expect to be able to properly learn Two-in now.

Considering Innocent’s disappearance as soon as he entered the operational area it is true that he did not expect that he would try to keep his promise at this point.

However I just set it aside because I thought it was more important to meet Kaise again rather than immediately urging Innocence to make a promise.

“Think of it as a gift of apology left behind while you are still in your right mind. “I plan to speak separately to Lord Illya and Magat.”

“Are you planning to end any remaining relationships now?”

Innocence did not answer any more and turned his back.

Lennok looked at his back as he walked away and shook the wooden statue and said.

“But if you’re going to do that you shouldn’t have handed this over to me in the first place.”

“….”

“The essential reason why you went crazy was because of this technology called Two-in.”

After hearing those words Innocent’s steps stopped abruptly.

“Isn’t transcending hierarchy itself a problem?”

Lennok asked.

“The problem arose because I chose Two-in as a way to reach level 8. “Isn’t that right?”

The art of moving the body with the mind is two-in.

A drama that brings the heart of a warrior who takes a step forward in a moment of desperation into the realm of technology.

However if it is eaten by that technology it becomes a monster that goes crazy with blood and battle and runs rampant without being able to distinguish between friend and friend.

The image of a warrior who is immersed in the passion and excitement of battle and is burning with the will to win regardless of his opponent. A monster devoured by a mind of its own making.

Isn’t there a being standing before Lennok’s eyes who exactly matches those words?

Lennok understood why Innocence’s mental state was so unstable and dangerous when he saw the depravity he displayed in the closed area.

It is not because I have reached too high a level and lost my way because I am older.

The way Innocence transcended the hierarchy and rose to level 8 was because of the power of the Two People burning the mind and moving the body.

Now that I have lost my way my mind is trying to eat my body little by little.

Those are the words of those who tried to use their own image as a weapon rather than thoroughly polishing it into an ideal form.

Innocence was trying to directly pass on the secret and concept that allowed him to reach level 8 to Lennok.

“Do you want to give me the same madness that you are experiencing now?”

“…It can’t be. My problem arises because as you said I chose Tuin as a means of transcending hierarchy. “It was an act of foolishness that sought a higher state.”

Innocence shook his head quietly.

“But that only applies to someone like me. Practicing Tuin as a skill will not be a problem for someone like you.”

“How can you guarantee that?”

In response to Lennok’s rebuttal Innocence smiled forlornly.

As if you were looking at someone who had something from the beginning that you could never have had.

“Because any deception will be of no use to someone who is already looking for their own answer.”

* * *

The sky over the power plant is hazy and full of dark clouds.

McQueen was still sitting cross-legged at the bottom of the transmission tower concentrating.

The statue of Arjumarta perched on the top of the transmission tower above his head.

The moment when the stone statue and McQueen who had been immersed in meditation with a calm expression that did not feel the slightest disturbance opened their eyes at the same time.

Taaa!!

A young man with impressive black and white hair landed in front of McQueen.

“Apostate monk. “What are you doing here?”

“…It was Tulianmun’s defense method.”

The sight of McQueen breathing hard and closing his eyes again as if he was annoyed.

“If you plan to disturb me get out of there. Even without that it’s hard to concentrate.”

“After reporting my return I took a nap for a while… but the atmosphere seems to have become strange in the meantime.”

The old Claude leaned against the window sill and smoothed his chin.

“It seems like the power plant’s alert posture has changed quite a bit. “What happened?”

McQueen frowned as if he was dumbfounded by those words.

“You can’t even see the scenery in front of you right now?”

A truly miserable sight with the vacant lot of the power plant and nearly half of the facility melting away.

The ground is partially torn apart as if it has exploded and the corridor leading to the basement of the power plant is clearly visible through it.

Isn’t it even more strange that Claude asked if something had happened even after seeing that?

However Claude shrugged his shoulders despite McQueen’s criticism.

“Have you ever had a fight with the same allies on the front line once or twice? There were several instances where the entire ground had to be lifted for construction purposes. “Unless someone is dead this level of turmoil is not even worth mentioning.”

“…there was an intruder.”

McQueen responded with an annoyed look.

“I broke through the border alone and met Kaise in person but my identity was discovered.”

“hmm.”

“He fought with the chairman and ran away and his whereabouts are currently unknown. Do you understand?”

If you ask me it was McQueen’s mistake to personally guide the guy to the power plant so he couldn’t feel comfortable having to say it with his own mouth.

“I guess so. It was said that he was an opponent worthy of competing directly with Duke Oliveira. “He must have been a very powerful warrior.”

“No it was a wizard.”

“…wizard?”

Claud looked slightly surprised at McQueen’s answer.

Oliveira Ron Maze is a powerful wizard but her combat abilities are so heterogeneous that they are comparable to those of the same level of physical ability.

Not only has she accumulated countless experiences by traveling around the continent for a long time but she is also bold and enjoys competing.

It would be impossible for most wizards to withstand her even for a moment let alone fight on equal footing with her.

A wizard with a force commensurate with his rank is extremely rare so he wasted time running away from that Oliveira?

No the fact that he was able to escape meant that in a way the wizard had an advantage over Oliveira.

Are you saying that we haven’t yet figured out the identity of the wizard who is so powerful and has excellent combat abilities?

Only then did Claud understand why the atmosphere near the particle power plant had changed like this.

“Where are Lord Gilleon and Lord Oliveira now?”

“Gilleon is doing wing maintenance work and the Chairman is in the power room.”

A sharp smile appeared on McQueen’s lips.

“By now you must have finished the construction work to trap them in the illusion.”

“….”

As soon as those words were finished a gloomy shadow of fog began to fall over the heads of the two people.

The sight of a huge ghost ship suddenly returning to the sky above the power plant.

Madrich Onion had finished patrolling the area and returned to the power plant.

Gooooo…!!

McQueen glanced up at the sight of the ghost fleet and shook his head.

“It looks like there wasn’t much harvest. “I can’t help it…”

“Lord Onion hasn’t changed his guard method.”

“Because Mannyangseoryehan’s domain is canceled as soon as he leaves his position. “As long as you maintain this posture you will never have to come off the ship.”

“I see. Now it looks like we really have no choice but to wait on site.”

For a wizard with capabilities comparable to Oliveira hiding his presence from our pursuit would not be an easy task.

Moreover this side is in a situation where they cannot move even though the operation area has been discovered.

This is a structure in which there is no choice but to respond passively whether the opposing side reinforces forces or changes the direction of the attack.

Claude who was looking at the ship with curiosity asked in a passing tone.

“Now that I think about it what does the wizard look like?”

“He is a man with black hair and a sharp look. “He holds a thin waving staff and wears a coat as black as a shadow.”

“…what?”

“I am teaming up with a bird-headed giant and a woman who wields a spear. “It would be easier to show it in person.”

Although he seemed annoyed McQueen was answering Claude’s questions one by one.

Although his indifferent attitude is annoying Claud is the only one with physical abilities here along with Gileon and is the most specialized spearman among them in independent action.

Since it is clear that he is a skilled person who can do his part in any battlefield it is worth explaining the situation even if it is somewhat belated.

The moment when McQueen said that and brought back images of Lennok and Felix Ilya from his memory.

“….”

Claud’s face hardened.

“The bird-headed giant uses a war hammer and emits strange power. The woman who uses the Spear uses her super-vibration ability to operate it remotely… hmm?”

McQueen found Claude’s reaction strange but stopped as he continued to explain them one by one.

Claude who was listening to the explanation turned his head.

“Why are you doing this? I’d like to hear more explanation right now. “Please.”

“…No rather than that I felt a sense of discomfort somewhere for a moment….”

A rare sight of an apostate monk tilting his head with his eyebrows furrowed.

This is an unusual reaction for this monk who has a somewhat harsh and strict personality but rarely gets embarrassed or agitated.

“Is this a sign of an intruder? “Just give me the direction and I’ll take care of it.”

The moment Claude picked up the spear and raised his magic power McQueen frowned.

“Yes that magic power. “It’s similar to yours but it’s also extremely twisted…”

“What on earth are you talking about?”

“It’s like being thrown this way from thousands of meters away-”

Net…!!

At that moment a white flash of light flashed from beyond the cloudy sky of the power plant and struck diagonally toward the ground.

The white light that fell in a faint spiral raced towards the power plant and accurately pierced the keel of the ghost ship blocking its path.

Kwaaaaaaaaaa!!!

A circular shock wave erupted from the affected area. The ghost ship floating above the power plant shook violently and blew out fog.

“…!!!!”

An attack that started suddenly. Moreover it is a bombardment powerful enough to damage Madrich Onion’s ghost ship.

An eerie concept that is clearly different from the abilities of the intruders they had talked about so far.

Claude opened his mouth slightly and McQueen with his eyes wide jumped up from his seat.

“You have to tell the chairman. Another monster has joined over there…!!”

The moment McQueen was muttering that and trying to contact the inside of the power plant using magic communication.

Taaaaa!!

The inside of the wrist he lifted up was crushed and blood splattered all over the muscles.

The soft sound of a gunshot is heard only after the wrist is completely shattered.

“…!!!”

Claude couldn’t even scream and gritted his teeth as he stretched out his hand towards McQueen’s head.

Wow!!

Croat who deflected the second bullet aimed at McQueen’s head stuck out his tongue.

“It’s like knocking out a bunch of artillery shells. “It’s an unbelievable shooting ability to be able to shoot this quietly yet powerfully.”

“Are two different sniping abilities attacking here…!!”

There is nothing in the search radius but this side is unilaterally allowing an attack.

No it wasn’t just because of that.

The presence of the white light that was first fired at the ghost ship was beyond imagination so I ended up losing my attention.

A secret yet fatal second shot that took advantage of that overwhelming whiteness.

This entire series of flows was thoroughly planned and connected.

McQueen realized this in an instant and turned his head.

“Go to Lord Azlan Kayse!!”

“…Are you going to be okay?”

“The other party is interfering with our communications. “I don’t know why but if the other person doesn’t want it I have to force it.”

Even though he was drenched in pain and sweating profusely McQueen tore off his clothes tied his wrists and stopped the bleeding.

“I will take responsibility and take my time with Onion. “You must inform Kaise of this right now…!!”

McQueen’s words did not last until the end.

After a brief interval a second white light flashed across the sky this time accurately penetrating the transmission tower and exploding.

Kwaaaa!!!

An explosion filled with white magic enveloped the transmission tower and burned everything.

* * *

The sight of a power transmission tower collapsing along with the new form of Arzumarta a screaming summon.

“It’s okay.”

Lennok who checked the sight using the sniper scope of his sniper rifle Sightglass-992 nodded.

“Confirmed that all bullets hit target points 1 and 2. “We will now begin entering the operational area.”

-Confirmed.

-I’m ready.

Felix and Illya’s calm answer.

Lennok continued without waiting for an innocent answer.

“Rather than targeting the inside of the power plant directly the focus is on breaking down the external boundaries of the company. “Repeat shelling toward target number 1.”

-…I understand.

A dry plain several kilometers away from the power plant.

Gyeongbaek who had installed dozens of spear poles made from broken street lamps all over the plain picked one of them and instilled a spirit into it.

Awesome geek…!!

The white magic power that flows through Innocent’s hand covers the metal window and rotates in a spiral.

The shape of a spear that twists unable to withstand the extremely dense flow of magical power.

However innocence glanced down at the metal window before it was completely broken stretched one foot forward lightly and twisted his shoulders.

Kwasik!!

With the noise of the joints being twisted and grinding together the innocent right arm rotates as if it disappears from the spot.

The shape of a white spear swimming across the ground and rising beyond the dark clouds with a faint shock wave exploding through the fingertips.

Paaaaaa!!

The third white light which twisted through the pier outside the power plant pierced the ghost ship once more emitting a tremendous roar.

Innocent eyes shaking through white hair looking up at the shape of a ship staggering in the distance.

An old man appears like fog above the head of the shaking ship and looks down at him with a cold gaze.

The moment when two monsters who transcended the hierarchy and reached level 8 recognized each other’s existence after jumping thousands of meters.

“Let’s begin.”

Lennok who was on top of the bike pulled the throttle without hesitation.
