Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 651



The Genius Wizard Who Takes Medicine Episode 651

Qualifications for Ascension (1)

“I heard you rejected the leader’s offer.”

A dark room without any light.

A man with dark shadows on his face was talking to someone who had lowered his head.

Ambiguous height and body type whose age cannot be guessed. Wearing an old white robe with arms folded a grumpy attitude.

The elderly woman at the end of the man’s gaze just lowers her head without answering.

“….”

Even though the woman is clearly alive she can barely detect any vital reactions including breathing.

A trace so faint that even a man who has greedily studied all kinds of technology and civilization cannot understand it.

That’s probably because she has lived a long hard life and is worn out.

A great transcendental person who observed the open sea for over hundreds of years and postponed the impending destruction.

An ascendant who wears out his strength while carrying a mission that ordinary humans can never fathom.

Because Madrea Falseer the Heavenly Sight was that kind of being.

“You’re so weak. “If you were the person you are now you could easily kill idiots like me.”

“….”

“The leader doesn’t show it but he wants to respect the will of a long-lived ascendant like you. So I probably resigned obediently…”

The man shrugged his shoulders as Cheon-gyeon did not respond.

“But it’s a shame that your power and qualifications are disappearing like this. “Don’t you think so?”

At those words Cheongyeon slowly raised his head.

Gray eyes out of focus. An opaque gaze that makes it impossible to guess whether he is looking at the man properly.

Two eyes that do not at all live up to the reputation of Cheongyeon who sees everything farthest.

“As we try to fill what cannot be filled we become obsessed with understanding and proof.”

However the words that Cheongyeon uttered in passing struck the man’s essence very accurately.

The man who flinched as if he had not expected those words at all laughed bitterly as if surprised by his own reaction.

“…I see. Are you pointing out the delusion that I still have left? “I didn’t want to know it this way.”

“….”

“Thanks for the advice. But I want to hear the answer to my question.”

Did the man’s unwavering request make me think of something else?

Cheongyeon who had been lowering his head helplessly very slowly raised his hand which was leaning on the armrest.

“…!!”

With just that small gesture the man shook his shoulders and stepped back dozens of meters.

Even though he is dying due to exhaustion the supernormal abilities of a qualified ascendant are enough to be called transcendental.

Moreover if you are an ascendant who has been on a mission for a long time like Cheongyeon even if your essence is far from combat you are bound to be extremely dangerous.

She was a being who could overturn the very concept of ‘seeing’ from one sitting.

However Cheongyeon did not pay any attention to the man who quickly retreated and lightly lifted his raised finger.

At that moment the scenery reflected in the man’s eyes changed as if turned upside down in an instant.

Paaaaa!!

A huge night sky with no end in sight.

Dozens of lighthouses illuminating the sea of ​​darkness come together to serve as eyes that dispel the darkness.

This is the image of a transcendent person who inherited the mission of a lighthouse keeper.

The heart of an ascendant devoted to the earth as a lamp that illuminates the open sea.

“…It’s beautiful.”

Even men who are not well-versed in aesthetic sense can inadvertently exclaim in exclamation at the scene in their hearts.

The moment when Cheongyeon who had shined his own light turned his hand over.

A small model of a lighthouse rose out of thin air and soon changed its shape into a dazzling jewel-like mirror.

Faaah!!

The moment Cheongyeon slowly put his hand down on the armrest of the chair the jeweled mirror was already in the man’s hand.

“This is…”

A look of admiration that could not be hidden appeared on the face of the man who recognized its identity.

“It is the calling of a lighthouse keeper to provide a lantern to those who are looking for hope.”

Cheongyeon muttered softly.

“Even if you chose the wrong path… everyone has the right to light the way.”

“….”

Even though he knew that the man was engaging in human sacrifice he did not assert that the method was wrong.

She only vaguely stated that she herself did not prefer that method.

This may be because Cheongyeon’s way of treating people and his standards have long since surpassed the values ​​of ordinary humans.

While amazed at the overwhelming standard the man picked up the jeweled mirror and slipped it into his arms.

“I express my gratitude to the Great Ascendant for his mercy. But why to the leader?”

“Because he has already decided how to walk.”

An illusion arose as if Cheongyeon’s gaze suddenly came into focus.

“For those who choose to walk backwards looking back at the path they have taken there is no need for a lamp to light the way.”

“….”

A silent man. Cheongyeon silently raised his gaze as if he wasn’t expecting an answer.

“If you don’t realize it yourself you can’t survive. “I hope Lapis will understand someday.”

“I see. “Is that what you meant by the way you love humans?”

After muttering that the man slowly stepped back and lowered his head.

The utmost courtesy he could show the great ascendant.

“The ending you choose. The fate you chose. “Even the lamp you want to leave behind.”

The man’s eyes seemed to turn serious for a moment.

“Let’s all remember and not forget. So that one day someone will understand.”

Dismissal!!

That moment. At the same time as the illusion of the dark room breaking apart the sound of someone’s heavy breathing was heard.

Wow!!

“Ha ha ha…!!”

It took a while for Lennok to realize that the sound was coming from his own mouth.

An empty city. He is seen leaning on the edge of a bookstore shelf with paper fluttering in the wind.

Lennok who was sitting down in a daze and recalling his memories looked back on what had happened and smiled bitterly.

“This is…”

Whose memory was it that he was looking at just a moment ago?

Because I felt like I knew who the man Cheon-gyeon was talking to was without me having to say anything.

The omnipotent and unique pupil of Heavenly View temporarily developed through Dr. Maiyaga’s auxiliary calculations.

An image of a transcendent person who takes on the mission of a lighthouse keeper and is qualified to take on the challenge of ascension.

A transcendental ability that completely changes reality itself through it.

Eyes that illuminate everything. The power of all thought befitting its prestige was the power to turn reality itself upside down and shatter it even if only for a moment.

Maiya succeeded in neutralizing the executive agencies at once through simple deployment throughout the entire Sasang region and even allowing Lennok to escape while avoiding pursuit.

However not only Maiya but also Lennok could not escape the aftermath.

Therefore right after he succeeded in escaping Lennok was swept up in the aftermath of the brief development of the entire history and saw someone’s memories.

Memories of someone who was once the designer of the Gate of Ascension once a explorer of civilization and now lives as an engineer of the Battle of Pandemonium.

“….”

I never thought that memories like this would remain beyond the consciousness of that eccentric man who laughed at everything and talked as if he understood everything.

Could it be because his last meeting with Cheon-gyeon left such an impression on his memory?

If so I thought I could understand why the doctor used Cheongyeon’s intention to help at this point.

“…It can’t be a coincidence.”

Not everyone in the entire Sasang region would have seen the same memories as Lennok.

Because Lennok had met both of the people who appeared in his memories the thought may have flowed beyond his consciousness.

After arriving in Machine City I started looking into other people’s memories a lot more often.

Although Lennok’s own spirit may not be shaken by looking into his memories it is an undeniable fact that the recoil is severe.

Lennok stopped thinking about it and stood up with difficulty.

Maiya’s burden must have been enormous as she forcibly imitated other people’s images and the powers of the Ascended and developed them temporarily.

However in order to buy Lennok more time he is concentrating the entire machine city’s power on himself.

A moment of leisure given to Lennok. There was no time to waste this opportunity.

Lennok looking at the darkened sky touched the falling water droplets with his fingers.

“It’s raining….”

Lennok who was looking at the pouring raindrops completely disappeared from the street.

* * *

[The fire that broke out in the upper workshop district is not being extinguished easily.]

[Currently personnel are being recruited from various organizations including the police force…]

[People in the world are pointing out the fact that the uproar has not subsided and is instead spreading to various districts raising the possibility of terrorism…]

It is a ward with the best medical facilities in Machine City and a medical district that mainly treats top-level VIPs.

In a private hospital room located on the top floor Ebert was looking at the TV with a serious expression.

“Nothing should happen….”

Although the media does not directly mention possibilities other than fire Ebert knew from several sources what was happening to the city.

A major problem has arisen inside the undersea barrier.

The survival of all Meisters working with Ex Machina member Hermes who was in charge of this quarter is unclear.

Meanwhile news that someone had entered the undersea barrier and escaped spread throughout the Navy and an emergency summons order was issued in the area.

Crucially the culprit has been identified as Lyman who was recently working in the upper workshop district and the enforcement agency has now launched an investigation.

Everything moves so quickly that Ebert’s common sense makes it impossible to easily judge any situation.

Ebert’s expression became clouded as he looked at Narcissa’s face lying dead wearing a breathing apparatus.

“Sister….”

“You were here.”

“…!!!”

Ebert jumped up from his seat and turned his head.

A young man completely soaked as if he had just been hit by pouring rain was standing in front of the door of the hospital room.

Wearing an iron mask that covers half of his face he looks as neat as ever.

But that expressionless face looked like a completely different person from the Lyman Ebert knew.

Lennok paying no heed to Ebert’s reaction slowly walked into the hospital room and stood in front of Narcissa.

The moment when Lennoc looking at Narcissa’s unconscious face stretched out his hand into her arms.

“Now wait!! “What are you trying to do!!”

Ebert jumped up in a huff and stood in front of Narcissa.

“….”

“Aren’t you all being chased by the enforcement agencies?”

Ebert said glaring at Lennok with a strong expression on his face.

“The commander of the mechanized fire corps personally issued a wanted order so how on earth…?”

“I used some bait.”

Ebert’s shoulders shook in surprise at Lennok’s answer which changed his tone of voice.

Lennok looked at Ebert and took out a light blue medicine bottle from his arms.

“This is an antidote obtained from the person who attempted to assassinate Narcissa Solmer.”

“…!!”

“Oason joined hands with Hermes to kill Narcissa and he has the antidote to it.”

Lennok said and shook the vial in his wet hands.

“We have confirmed that the drug is real. “I want to ask Narcissa something so get out of my way.”

“No. “How can I trust you…!!”

Phew!!

Ebert screamed and raised his magic power but the next moment his limbs were tightly bound by the thin magic thread.

In the blink of an eye Ebert realized that his wrists were tied to the corner of the hospital bed his mouth widened and Lennok muttered.

“I’m not asking for a favor.”

“Ugh…!! “I’ll call someone!!”

“as you please.”

Lennok ignored Ebert and immediately poured the medicine into Narcissa’s mouth.

Pour about half of the medicine into Narcissa’s mouth close the lid and place it on the hospital table.

“There is probably one more soldier who was hit by a bullet and is in critical condition along with Narcissa. “Give it to him.”

“I knew what the medicine was and I told my sister…!!”

“Uhm….”

Ebert’s words were cut off just as Narcissa’s eyelids began to twitch.

The old man’s brow seemed to furrow and his calm breathing became loud and irregular.

Narcissa slowly awakens her breathing becoming disturbed as if she is waking up from a long sleep.

Ebert tried to stand up but was tied up by the magician and was thrown around.

“Nunimnim!!”

“…Ebert?”

Narcissa looked at Ebert with blurry eyes and frowned.

“What are you doing there?”

“This guy came to my sister’s hospital room!!”

Narcissa’s expression changed slightly when she turned her gaze and found Lennok at the words of Ebert who was struggling on the floor.

“You were that kid back then…”

“Narcissa Solmer. “There is something I want to ask you.”

Narcissa’s eyes began to focus as she heard Lennok’s voice.

“…I thought his talent was extraordinary but he was no ordinary craftsman. “What are you doing?”

The mental power of remembering Lennok and interrogating him as soon as he regained consciousness after a few weeks is admirable.

But Lennok did not have time to answer Narcissa one by one right now.

“Is the remnants of the Ascension Gate hidden in the Hwadeok Jin Army’s defense?”

“…!!!”

Narcissa’s face hardened.

A question so shocking that even she a long-time meister and seasoned politician could not hide her agitation.

Ebert who was watching Lennok’s words and Narcissa’s reaction from the side opened his mouth wide.

“What on earth does that mean!!”

“Hermes colluded with Oason Meister to plot your assassination.”

Lennok took out a cigar from his arms bit into it and snapped his fingers.

Cheek!

“It may have been to neutralize your actions and at the same time stop the check on yourself… but my thoughts are a little different.”

Lennok said quietly puffing out smoke.

“He is trying to use the Ascension Gate to manifest beings from the old world on this earth. “In the meantime I lent my strength to assassinate you.”

“….”

“Because I wanted to touch the space you were managing. “If you are the one who inherited the Hwadeokjin Army’s attack and defense you would know what Hermes is aiming for.”

It would not be strange to say that the Hwadeok Jin Army who built the foundation of the Ascension Gate had collected the remains and key parts of the gate separately.

This is when Lennok heard that Hermes had lent his hand to Oason.

He was convinced that Hermes was targeting the workshop managed by Narcissa a specific location or a secret.

Narcissa who had been silent soon raised her head and looked at Rennok with a strong gaze.

“There’s a problem with your mind. yes?”

“….”

“Unless the door inside Simseonggwan is damaged there would be no reason to look for a new location.”

When Narcissa said that and looked at Ebert Ebert nodded with a sad expression.

Narcissa understanding the meaning let out a trembling breath and closed her eyes.

“I see. Hermes that guy…”‘

“Where is it?”

Lennok asked again.

“I want to specify where Hermes will ultimately work. “There isn’t much time now.”

“….”

Narcissa Solmer is a full-fledged successor who learned everything including workshop operation from Hwadeokjingun himself.

Therefore there is a high possibility that he knows everything about the secrets he left behind.

That’s why instead of blindly heading to the Fireside Force’s defense Lennok was planning to wake up Narcissa and get straight to the core.

After contemplating with her eyes closed for a while Narcissa’s mouth slowly opened.

“Master… he considered creating the foundation of the Ascension Gate to be the greatest achievement of his life.”

Nasiga chuckled looking somewhat remorseful.

“That’s why he wanted me to always be with him even after he passed away.”

“Are you saying that the remnants of the Ascension Gate are in the tomb of Hwa Deok Jin?”

“Nunimnim….”

Ebert interrupted Lennok and spoke in a trembling voice.

“But Master…”

“Teacher’s ashes were not scattered in the grave but on your remains. “He wanted to be a part of the city even after he died.”

“….”

Only then did Lennok’s expression change slightly as he realized what Narcissa was talking about.

“The last work created by Hwadeokjin and the master’s own workshop tower.”

Narcissa said calmly.

“The tallest building in this machine city is the foundation of the failed Ascension Gate itself.”

* * *

Snap!!

Quiet street in the rain.

Only Lennock walking without an umbrella passes through the dark street alone and disappears.

“….”

The shape of a huge tower rising extremely high.

This is Hwadeokjin’s last masterpiece the huge workshop tower that he used as his workshop.

Each step of the tower is a workshop and residential area designed for Meister-level craftsmen.

It is one of the very few buildings whose height restrictions have been lifted in Machina a machine city that has height restrictions due to movement between districts.

The moment Lennok opened the door and was about to enter.

Paaaa!!

The lights came on in the dark streets and a dazzling light began to illuminate Lennok.

A light intensity strong enough to blind one’s eyes.

The light was bright enough not to cast a shadow anywhere around Lennok’s body as he stood in front of the door leading into the tower.

Lennok chuckled as he watched dozens of laser pointers overlap on the back of his hand which was clutching the doorknob turning his skin red.

If he had this much on the back of his hand there would be hundreds of guns on his back pointing at him all at once.

A grumpy voice was heard from behind Lennok.

“Slowly raise both hands and turn your back this way.”

“….”

“The head office is Thermore God commander of the 3rd Corps of the Mechanized Firearms. “I swear that if you disobey my orders I will cut you into six pieces on the spot.”

Lennok followed his words and slowly raised his hand and turned his back.

The ranks of armored infantry and tank units filled the inside and outside of the huge defense tower.

Before you know it dozens of transport planes are flying in the sky and you can even feel the presence of snipers aiming at you from afar.

And the image of a man sitting on a huge tank located in the center of the line touching his chin with an interesting expression.

“I didn’t know that the legion would defeat the enforcement agencies and capture you alive. “I thought I would never have the chance to major but I am very lucky.”

Thermore a man who introduced himself as the commander of the mechanized fire corps grinned and gestured.

“I’ve heard a lot of rumors about you Lyman. “It is said that the new craftsman in the upper-level workshop district is smarter than most fortune tellers.”

“….”

“It is very unfortunate that that outstanding ability was not used for our machine city. “But what can you do?”

As soon as Termore said that armored infantry units came from all directions and surrounded Lennok.

“Please remain calm until we arrest your recruit. “I know that my fighting skills are not that great but I still have to make sure I get the job done.”

Do they even know that they used a night crow as bait kept it far away and infiltrated this way?

However instead of responding to those words Lennok turned his gaze towards the tower of the Hwadeokjin Army which was rising very high.

The reason why I walked directly towards the main gate of the tower even though I knew there were ambushes and traps.

That was because I wanted to check the scene that can only be seen from this location.

He poured magical energy through the doorknob he had just grabbed and expanded his senses endlessly quickly covering the entire workshop tower.

Wow…!!

Between the dark night and the bright lights I can’t really see what’s in front of me but my sixth sense expanded by magical power sees something beyond my five senses.

A gigantic throne resembling a magnificent and splendid palace located on the top floor of the Workshop Tower.

A huge perfectly circular ring adorns the wall behind the throne.

The foundation of the Ascension Gate itself which was used in the Ascension Gate plan.

The plan failed and the relic which should have been completely discarded was hidden in Hwadeokjin’s workshop.

[Whoa….]

And on top of the pure white throne located in the center of the huge ring of light.

The image of a young man sitting quietly with his eyes closed his chin resting and his head bowed.

Thousands of wires connected behind the back of a young man with flowing white hair rippling as if trying to inject something that transcends humanity.

Lennok looked at the figure of Hermes who had sunk deeply as if he was asleep at the edge of the defense tower and then looked back at the group of tanks of the 3rd Corps surrounding him and nodded.

“good.”

Snap!!

Lennok removed the iron mask covering his face with a single wave of his hand and slowly tilted his neck back drawing up his magic power.

Maiya guessed who Lennok was so she did not stop Lennok from trying to meet Hermes alone.

Rather she tried to open the way to Hermes even if it meant paying a price.

And it is an unmistakable fact that the plan is based on Lennok’s own abilities and actions.

Once Hermes’ location and condition were confirmed there was no longer any reason to hesitate.

“Now there’s no reason to hide it anymore.”

I’m so tired…!!

At the same time as the intense thunder light rising from the fingertips the expressions of the mechanized corpsmen also gradually change.

The moment when someone noticed that the iron mask on Lennok’s face was not a trace of body modification and that the magic power unleashed was also completely different from that of his father-in-law.

“Wait a minute you’re not Lyman…!!”

A bright blue bolt of lightning fell through the dark night sky of the Machine City.

Kwaaaa!!

Lennok took a step forward amidst the dazzling brilliance of thunder that colored the surrounding area.

Broken broken…!!

The wizard covered in boiling lightning looked at the top of the tower and nodded.

“Let’s finish it quickly.”
