Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 641

The Genius Wizard Who Takes Medicine Episode 641
Machina Martial Law (1)
“The Meister was murdered!!”
“Find Commissioner Hermes. “Right now!!”
“Close all passages to the Mind Hall. From now on make sure no one can leave this place!!”
Doo doo doo doo!!!
An uninhabited island with a huge jungle. Inside the underwater barrier psimseong tube.
Soldiers wearing suits and carrying firearms are running around and searching.
It’s not just urgent it’s bloody and desperate. They also sense the fact that an irreparable accident has occurred at Simseonggwan.
The radar and magical power detection activated by the soldiers from all directions rotate constantly and pierce throughout the Simseong Pavilion.
“Whoa….”
Lennok walked slowly avoiding the soldiers’ movements while maintaining the magic that erased his presence.
A unique landscape with transparent glass cavities and huge conveyor belts located throughout the island.
However Lennok who had looked directly into the Ascension Gate knew the reason for the existence of this place.
The Legacy of the Gate of Ascension is a passage that extracts information from the already destroyed second world into a rigid body.
Machine City Machina used its power to create a space called the Mind Hall and was randomly extracting information and relics from the old world.
Trade the legacy of the old world using the rules of iron at the gate above the lake.
The acquired heritage is sorted on a huge conveyor belt that leads to the outskirts of the island.
Old world literature music biology technology etc. are divided categorized and stored according to standards and value categories.
When the wall is opened every quarter of the machine city’s division all of the people and materials collected are evacuated and the workforce is replaced.
The existence of Simseonggwan itself was a space for producing and extracting relics from the old world not for storing them.
However Lennok’s eyes were deeply sunken as he walked unsteadily as if he was still dreaming.
‘heartbreak….’
Godslayer of the old world.
Because I never thought that I would find out that the name Hermes was pretending to be looking for refers to the leader of Pandemonium.
And that fact indirectly hinted at more fatal and complex secrets for Lennok.

The first is coincidence. The second is inevitable. The third is fate.
What does it mean that the leader knows what he said?
How did the declaration of trying to postpone destruction by shooting God come to fruition?
Was he truly one of the transcendents who reached this world in hopes of ‘next time’?
“….”
Nothing is certain.
However it is also clear that the memories encountered beyond the door are not lies.
Because the trajectory of the life I lived like that was not short the times that disappeared were fitting together like a puzzle.
‘But… there are facts that cannot be explained by that alone.’
Lennok’s eyes which had been constantly reflecting on memories and anguish slowly began to return to focus.
‘I said I would find another way not ascension. but….’
He created an organization called Pandemonium walks backwards in world time and exists as a part of the transcendent.
This is strong evidence that contrary to his advice that he would find another way the leader ultimately chose to ascend and move on.
Even after killing God and reaching ascension he still longs for something different in this world.
As long as he doesn’t know that Lennok will no longer be able to understand the leader’s existence.
Fortunately there was still a way.
‘Hermes. He must know more than I have seen.’
If Hermes is the memory left behind by the ascendants of the old world then other memories and secrets can be discovered just by studying its existence.
The difference between the memory Lennok saw beyond the door and the Hermes that had become the memory itself.
Lennok intended to find Hermes again and inquire about the truth to the fullest extent.
Snap!!
The key design code for the Ascension Gate was copied and acquired by Dabi the moment he returned from his memories.
What remains is to reach Hermes at the top of the machine city of Machina through the fruits of his work as a craftsman and the information he has acquired from the underwater barrier.
But before that there was still one thing left to do.
‘I told you that a meister named Oason was trying to fix the end of Teremer himself.’
Lennok’s eyes sank as he quickly recalled the conversation between the meisters.
The old world horse gun that Lennok maintained at the selection ceremony.
Lennok remembered that among the Meisters who were interested in it someone attempted to fix it properly.
‘In that case there is a high possibility that the Demon Gun exists in the area that Oason was in charge of. I’ve inserted the penterect so if I can find the exact location…’
Kwaaaa!!
A huge explosion occurred on the other side of the island and smoke began to rise from everywhere.
The soldiers’ complexions changed as they checked the direction of the island where the explosion occurred.
“A special prison where city test subjects are imprisoned…!!”
“Divide into platoons and subdue them!! “He’s going crazy so subdue him as quickly as possible!!”
Experimental subject. It probably refers to those who paid a price to the door and were used to extract the legacy of the old world.
If you think about Boyan’s memories most of them were people who volunteered for this work in exchange for a large amount of money or compensation.
It was used to gather information from the old world by gathering people who were not averse to the fact that their memories were being taken away.

In any case this gap where the soldiers’ power began to disperse in all directions was an opportunity.
“Whoa…”
Lenok injected another stimulant ampoule with trembling hands and started walking again leaning on the glass cavity wall.
If it was a community that the Meisters were in charge of it was definitely an important area located in the center of the island.
That must have been the area where artisans handled material heritage that they could touch.
Considering that Area 12F where Lennok disguised himself as a soldier and infiltrated was in charge of living creatures it is highly likely that it is far from there.
Through this you can calculate the island’s topography and conveyor belt movement and select the necessary candidate sites –
Tiring!!
“This way.”
The watch-shaped device created to track the location of the penteract began to respond for the first time.
A huge hemispherical glass dome draped in the shade between dense bushes.
Inside a huge conveyor belt is constantly rotating sending out various items.
However because there are no soldiers who would normally be helping the Meisters and sorting out the equipment the equipment is stuck inside the glass dome and spills out onto the floor.
Warrrrr!!!
A neat wooden workbench located at the edge of the glass dome.
The appearance of an old musket standing at an angle on top of it.
Wow!!
The moment when Lennoc broke the glass dome without hesitation and picked up the musket lying inside.
“….”
Lennok stopped his hand and quietly turned his gaze to one side.
“I was waiting.”
An old man was sitting there with a pale complexion and out of breath not even trying to hide his bloody appearance.
A figure sitting on a chair shaking with both hands on the knees.
Lennok who recognized the other person’s identity without difficulty muttered.
“Was it called Oason?…”
“I thought you would come here.”
Oa-son muttered as if struggling to speak.
“Other meisters have set out to find their own ways to survive but for me there is no next. In that case I just decided not to leave any regrets.”
“….”
Regret it.
Instead of answering Lennok looked at Oason’s trembling side.
The blood goes beyond the sticky level and drips down every time you breathe.
It had already gone far beyond the point where it could be revived through hemostasis or treatment.
Had he already suffered irreversible damage while running away from the spirit of the old world that Hermes had brought down?
Although Oason knew that he did not have long to live he was confident that Lennok would come here and was guarding this place alone.
Lennok asked sensing something in that action.
“What do you want?”
“You came to bring an end to Teremer right? “Take it.”
Oason raised his trembling hand and pointed at Ma Chong.
“Instead I would like you to do me one favor Lyman.”
“….”
“As I was tinkering with this artifact to repair it I learned that there was an unknown part inside it.”
Oason said with difficulty as he looked at Lennok who was leaning against the glass wall with his arms crossed.
“I thought that if you were able to maintain the horse gun during the selection ceremony it was because of this part. That’s why I thought that someday I would definitely come back to get this magic gun…”
Only then did Lennok realize why Oason had discovered his identity.
Oason did not notice a flaw in Lyman’s identity itself or an alibi.
However he recognized that the Penterect was an unusual item and believed that Lennok had improved the magic gun through it.
Therefore at this point I thought that if there was someone who came to retrieve the Demon Gun it would be Lyman himself for some reason.
‘That’s interesting. Is this the mindset of a master-level craftsman?’
He doesn’t care about the alibi magic pattern disguise and habits that Lennok created to hide his identity.
As a craftsman he only made and repaired equipment and thought of someone who would think about these parts like him making associations and reasoning.
Oason’s words which were based on nothing more than vague imagination and speculation ironically pinpointed the truth of the identity created by Lennok.
However Lennok did not show such sentiments and asked coldly.
“so?”
“…Who you are probably doesn’t matter anymore.”
As Oa-son said that he took something out of his arms with trembling hands.
A small vial the size of a finger. The refreshing light blue liquid flowing inside is impressive.
Oa-son slowly put the medicine bottle down on the workbench and spoke with difficulty.
“It is a healing agent that can lift the curse on Narcissa’s body. “Can you give this to her?”
“….”
Lennok did not answer but just stared at the vial.
Narcissa was still unconscious after the assassination attempt.
This is not only because the injuries she suffered were quite serious but also because of the unknown curse formula contained in the assassin’s bullet.
The fact that Oason possesses the antidote to such a curse spell…
“You were the one who instigated the assassination of Narcissa Solmer.”
Oason nodded his head weakly.
“She tried to check the use of the Gate of Ascension’s legacy. It was difficult to ignore Narcissa who had a strong voice within the Warhammer faction. so….”
“Is this an item that uses a magic spell from the old world?”
“Yes… Hermes handed it over to me.”
It was not a lie when Hermes mentioned the culprit of Narcissa’s assassination to the Meisters.
Did Hermes go beyond simply questioning and hand over the assassination method itself to Oason?
Lennok thought so and quietly picked up the vial.
He packs up the old dusty musket in his arms and even retrieves the penterect attached to it.
“Whoa I’m sorry for asking you a difficult favor…”
“There’s no need to be sorry just consider it a late deal.”
Lennok answered looking at Oason whose breathing was fading with a calm gaze.
“You too would have calculated the bill and asked me for a favor.”
Since Hermes betrayed the Meisters it is highly likely that Oason will spread the fact that he attempted to assassinate Narcissa.
That’s why Orson deliberately waited for Lyman an outsider to ask him to treat Narcissa on his behalf.
If this request is made to other Meisters the fact that Oason himself instigated Narcissa’s assassination will inevitably spread.
If that happens even after Oason himself dies his disciples and children will suffer the same disaster.
If we’re lucky Oason’s crime itself will be buried and even if Narcissa is cured the chances of those left behind suffering will be reduced.
Lennok was not very grateful to Oason because he had seen through that fact long ago.
Oa-son also seemed to have understood what he said and slowly shook his head with a wry smile.
“That’s right… that’s enough…”
The old man’s hand which was clutching his side with dripping blood is slowly losing strength.
At the same time Oa-son who was slumped as if leaning on a chair completely stopped breathing.
Oason’s breathless eyes as if he were falling asleep in his seat look up into space blankly losing focus.
Lennok looked at the scene in silence then placed his hand on Oason’s head and raised his magic power.
Among magic or shamanic necromancy there is a technique that turns the brain of a dead person upside down and forcibly extracts fragments of memory.
I don’t think there will be a problem but it would be better to delete the information about Lyman and the conversation we just had.
After completing the simple steps Lennok wiped his forehead closed his eyes and turned around.
“The road to the outermost part of the island. “Please guide me on the fastest route possible.”
[Route calculation complete!]
Dabi also seemed to understand Lennok’s thoughts and quickly set coordinates to the outskirts of the island’s coast where Lennok woke up.
Shoot!!
Lenok took out the probe onto the artificial coast with calm waves and quickly checked that there was no damage to the interior or exterior and immediately boarded it.
The moment when I went to the end of the coast and was about to use the power of Kaise’s pocket watch at the end of the invisible barrier.
As if Dabi sensed something he put the probe in reverse at full speed and moved away from the edge of the barrier.
Wow!!
[Master!!]
“okay. “The water pressure…!!”
Even though it has not yet escaped from the barrier intense water pressure is felt as if the probe will be crushed.
The moment Lennok realized this and raised his magic power the entire undersea wall began to rotate counterclockwise as if it were a lie.
At the same time as the transparent coastal landscape is distorted a huge cogwheel cliff appears beyond it.
Kugwagwagwa!!!
With a deafening roar the barrier opens wide creating the image of a wide sea road leading to the middle of the deep sea.
The impact of opening the barrier forces the seawater in the area to rotate creating an ocean current that can escape the influence of water pressure and rise to the ground.
It must be a passage designed to allow ships carrying personnel working at Simseonggwan to safely enter the barrier.
“This is…”
The moment Lennok opened his mouth slightly after seeing the waterway that was carefully designed to prevent sea water from entering the wall.
The sound of a sharp machine echoed loudly through the waterway.
[Confirmation of violation of highest level security rules on site. Securing suspects here on behalf of Ex Machina.]
Gurgling…!!
At the end of the tens of meters of water a shark the size of a house swam upside down and scattered intense ultrasonic waves.
It is glaring at Lennok with its red eyes flashing eerily but what catches the eye more than anything is its bizarre appearance itself which is comparable to its size.
Half of the shark’s body is a machine and the other half is made up of smooth fins and a body making it an extremely bizarre shape.
Sharp and terrifying steel and the body of the beast as if a living animal had been converted into a combat weapon.
And the upper body of a human was joined on top of the shark’s head as if it were coexisting.
A body made of steel and muscle. He appears to be holding a multi-meter-sized trident in one hand and his hair is fluttering.
[Commander of the Deep Sea Corps of the 4th Mechanized Firearms Corps. Triton Nesseus Oceanus.]
The magical power that spreads through the body created by the fusion of a shark and a human makes the entire ocean vibrate.
[Under the emergency martial law by the authority of the corps commander you are being arrested on charges of 12 types of special felonies including urban rebellion.]
“….”
4th Mechanized Corps Deep Sea Corps.
Lennok’s face hardened as he realized the meaning of those words.
A military group in charge of the defense of the machine city of Machina and a military organization that never takes part in matters within the city.
A central defense department that is permitted to intervene only in external uprisings or conflicts equivalent to war.
Although it is nothing compared to the executive agencies in terms of a small number of elites the firepower of the corps created to go to war far surpasses the executive agencies.
Clear evidence that the Machine City Machina began preparing for war at the same time that the highest alert was activated on the undersea wall.
What does it mean that the opponent is the commander of the 4th Deep Sea Corps?
Lennok’s eyes quickly scanned the body of the corps commander who identified himself as Triton.
‘Magic power….’
The magic power felt is around the level of a level 7 star.
However as the magical energy flowing from the body mixes with the sea water in the area the weight class itself is amplified like crazy.
Kugwagwagwa!!!
Simply looking at the output the speed and impact amount are equivalent to level 8.
Befitting his prestige as Commander of the Deep Sea Corps he possesses the talent to push his own combat power beyond its limits under the sea.
Or a monster that fused its own body with a shark in order to obtain corresponding power.
[Master…!!]
A high-ranking superhuman specialized in deep-sea maneuvering and combat. No can we call that the same human being in the first place?
This figure who has surpassed the hierarchy using magical engineering and bionic engineering is literally a monster who has risen to the top of the mechanized army.
[Considering the remaining power and durability of the probe the battle…]
“know.”
An extreme demonic spirit that can unleash the power that only the opponent possesses.
Fighting thousands of meters below the sea where you cannot even move freely is tantamount to suicide.
Lennok answered like that and quickly twisted the barrel of the gun in his arms and took out the equipment.
Slam!!
A dusty old musket. The end of Teremer which was taken over by Oason.
A relic from the old world and the Demon Musketeer’s exclusive equipment. And the artifact that the leader himself carried around.
‘I haven’t adjusted it properly yet…’
Now that Lennok had returned from seeing Hermes’ memories he understood exactly how to use them.
The moment you transform the penterect insert it and infuse magical power the shape of the musket flips over and changes on the spot.
Charrrrrrr!!
It is not the lizard-shaped one shown at the selection ceremony but a sharp and strong speargun that resembles an elongated marlin.
As soon as he twisted the long harpoon gun inside the probe and held it in place the archangel’s compassion began to shine.
Keyee…!!
At the moment when the inside of the probe was mixed with white and ultramarine blue magical light Lennok muttered.
“I will throw it aside at once. “Please do the auxiliary calculation.”
[I’m ready!!]
If time goes by here a significant portion of the income earned within the submarine barrier will lose its meaning.
Slam!
The tip of the harpoon gun was aimed precisely at Triton’s shark head swimming in the distance.
