Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 679



The Genius Wizard Who Takes Medicine Episode 679

oldest lineage (1)

It’s so deep underground that you can’t even guess how far underground you’ve gone.

A dark hallway reached only after taking a cramped elevator and using the senator’s authority to pass through hundreds of layers of security and barriers.

Senator Reisen Azamaha.

A prison where criminals who were arrested after embezzling slush funds from the Central Council and beings who have deviated from humans due to the encroachment of the power of foreign media are imprisoned.

Only the unknown tree trunks that filled the hallway in front of me proved that all the circumstances Mayer had said were true.

“….”

A tree trunk that is dry and twisted.

A strange being that burrows through the hallways and greedily eats up even the faintest light sources.

A gesture of digging through the alloy of the wall where no nourishment exists and wriggling faintly trying to suck up even the slightest bit of something.

Lennok’s eyes narrowed as he silently looked in the direction the tree trunk extended.

“If we follow the instructions we received in advance Reisen will be waiting at the end of the hallway.”

Mayer said slowly massaging the back of his neck.

“I looked through the reports so far and found that the time for conversation and the time for intelligence to return are different. So it is said that it is difficult to communicate unless the two time zones overlap.”

“….”

“There’s no way the chairman didn’t know this so I think he ended the meeting by suggesting a time slot to send you here… He’s a really thorough person.”

He is a thorough person.

Although those words were largely Mayer’s personal sentiments Lennok agreed with them to some extent.

The massive tree trunks that surround this corridor and the investments made to preserve them now in this basement.

And even though he was directly reporting everything that happened he didn’t say a word until Lennok was ready.

There was no doubt that the Chairman had intended this moment to send Lennok down with Mayer to some extent.

“Wow it’s hot….”

Mayer shook his head weakly sweating.

“Maybe because it’s a basement it feels like there’s not enough ventilation… It’s a place that drains your energy in many ways.”

Lennok looked at Mayer and asked.

“You look tired even if you don’t.”

“There’s so much to get done these days.”

Mayer answered after wiping away his cold sweat.

“I thought I would be more free once I entered the Senate but it’s completely the opposite. “At this rate I’m on the verge of dying from overwork without even seeing the mayor’s face…”

John Mayer is busy even in his old age with the goal of becoming mayor and uncovering the secrets of the Black Consumer Project.

Rather that may be why the story of death from overwork that comes out of his mouth does not sound like a joke.

“If necessary I can send you an elixir.”

“I am grateful but I decline.”

Mayer chuckled and waved his hand.

“When you get to my age you have to be careful about taking medicine. “My body can’t stand it.”

“….”

There is no way that Mayer could not obtain medicine due to lack of money or connections.

He probably knows that if he abuses the elixir in his old age there will be a severe backlash.

Lennok thought about that for a moment and took out a small business card from his pocket.

“This?”

“Among the hidden streets of Area 55 there lives a pharmacist called Yakseon.”

“…”

“For some reason I can’t introduce you directly but I don’t think it would be a bad idea to visit at least once.”

Yakseon Janushka Greenway.

He is a pharmacist who has reached level 7 and an old man who has further improved his skills through Geass and acquired unrivaled pharmaceutical abilities.

The person who dramatically cured Lennok’s chronic chronic disease mana addiction.

However due to the geas condition of forgetting the memories of the patients he treated he lives in seclusion in a remote place.

Lennok was also dealing with Geass to some extent and was looking for a way to heal and recruit Januszka Greenway.

Since Yakseon possesses such dangerous Geass they are taking their time.

She won’t remember Lennok but it would be okay if she introduced him to Mayer.

Mayer accepted the business card handed to him by Lennok with a strange expression.

“If it’s the pharmacist you recommend there’s no need to ask about his skills. “I will go and visit you as soon as the sun rises tomorrow.”

“no.”

Lennok shook his head.

“It would be a good idea to go see it right away.”

“what? “What on earth is that…”

Mayer answered without thinking but then realized Lennok’s intention and his face hardened.

“…I see. “Did I step into a place I shouldn’t be?”

I immediately realized that Lennok’s advice itself was closer to telling me to leave this place right now and run away.

Instead of answering Mayer’s question directly Lennok looked away in silence and stared at the tree roots.

The moment when I picked up the tobacco that was in my mouth and brought it to the root.

Tsk tsk…!!

Join our discord and ping me to update more chapters. Discord: https://discord.gg/93rmBjgP6B

The fire and filler from the beginning of the year are absorbed into the tree roots and disappear as if being sucked out.

Lennok said as he removed his hand from the tobacco filter which disappeared in an instant.

“Far from burning it has the power to absorb and absorb the heat.”

“….”

“With this level of absorption there is a risk that the breathing and nutritional magic floating in the air will be taken away beyond the contact area.”

Lennok nodded.

“I think there are some artifacts for self-defense but… there’s no need to take unnecessary risks.”

From the moment he saw the tree trunk extending throughout the hallway Lennok had a rough idea of ​​what Reisen was encroaching on.

The Central Council also knows this which is why they invested such a huge amount of security and investment to bury Reisen deep underground.

Mayer may also have the means to protect his body but this type of environment itself saps his strength.

There was no reason to risk the senators who now looked favorably on Lennok in the Central Assembly.

Mayer also understood Lennok’s intention and immediately nodded.

“I understand. “If you say that it’s definitely not a lie.”

He seems to immediately accept Lennok’s advice without any further comment.

In fact since he had a top expert in this field by his side did he think it was right to completely follow his judgment?

In that respect Mayer was a man with a flexibility that did not match his greed and ambition.

“But even if it’s not me it’s better to have at least one guide to guide you to this place…”

“it’s okay.”

As Lennok said this he quietly looked down the dark endless hallway.

“It seems like they already recognized me over there.”

* * *

After sending Mayer up through the elevator he slowly walks down the hallway alone.

The sounds of tree trunks wriggling and walking sticks striking echo throughout the hallways.

The light from a freshly pulled out door and a candle was the only source of light illuminating the dark hallway.

Square Square Square…!!

The sight of tree trunks wriggling and gathering around the light of the tobacco that Lennok held in his mouth.

The living tree trunks are shaking uncontrollably due to the magic of Lennok seeping through the smoke.

Even though he slowly crawls towards Lennok he is blocked by an invisible shield and repeatedly hesitates and retreats.

Ki-Geek Ki-Geek!!

As you walk into the hallway the number of tree trunks increases exponentially.

The surface of the hallway was so covered that you couldn’t even see it under your feet.

Finally the hallway on all sides turned into the shape of a withering old tree. On the other side of the open hill Lennok found a tree.

“….”

The size of the tree is not that large considering that it overturned and swallowed an entire hallway that was tens of meters long.

The height is several meters. The thickness is about the size of two human torsos overlapped.

However on the surface of the tree stump blood vessels were pulsing and bloodshot eyes were constantly rotating between the bark.

Kikikkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk…!!

Just standing in front of the tree makes my throat burn and I feel as if moisture and nutrients are being sucked out.

If Lennok had been an ordinary human his entire body’s energy would have been taken away and absorbed while he stayed here for a while.

Even now the disturbing will to penetrate the shield and covet his magical power is clearly visible without being hidden.

“I heard you wanted to meet me.”

Lennok asked looking at the silently wriggling tree.

“If you have something to say come out and say it. Or should I wait until I can speak?”

At that moment the tree trunk wriggled and the branches hanging overhead swayed greatly.

Dark red fruits began to form between the twisted branches as if they were squeezing out the energy stored inside them.

Kkuddeukduk!!

The moment when the size of the fruit gradually increases and becomes slightly larger than your fist.

Lennok realized that it was not a tree fruit but the shape of a newborn baby.

“….”

While Lennok remains silent at the sight beyond his imagination the baby born from the tree branch grows at a rapid pace.

From a boy to a young man to a man. From middle age to old age.

The old man’s body falls on the spot like a tree fruit that has transformed into an old man and is cut off on the spot.

Clap!!

The naked old man whose entire body was soaked with an unknown liquid wriggled and opened his eyes.

“ah….”

Lennok looked at the scene in silence and asked as if he was shocked.

“What this meant was that there is a separate time for conversation and a time for regaining one’s sanity.”

“….”

“Do we have to create a completely new human body in order to communicate?”

A being whose main body has been completely engulfed by the power of the ocean and who turns the fruit of a tree into a human body and spits out its will.

Is this the end that Senator Reisen Azamaha once known as the city council’s trumpeter faced?

I thought it would have gone beyond human form a long time ago but this is beyond my imagination.

It is not a level beyond humans but a variant that seems to have completely distorted and split the species lineage and expression itself.

Lennok immediately understood why the Central Council kept Reisen alive and stored like this instead of immediately disposing of him.

A living being that has accepted and twisted the power of the open sea this deeply would be helpful in exploring the secrets of the outside in some way.

To some extent the Chairman expected this from Lennok and helped him meet Reisen.

I lower my head and make eye contact with the naked old man who has collapsed.

Lennok asked meeting Reisen’s eyes covered in a hazy fog.

“How does it feel to be a tree that grows with the nourishment of civilization?”

Extinct tree Acrotrinier.

A foreign body that grows and spreads its roots in an immeasurable civilization beyond the open sea and becomes a part of the ending.

With the help of the church warlock Craig Tillian succeeded in summoning some of the incarnations.

And if Reisen who joined hands with Craig was encroached upon by the power of the open sea this would not have been possible without the power of extinction.

The moment I saw tree trunks extending out in all directions of the hallway.

From the moment he heard from the chairman about Reisen’s end Lennok had guessed about the existence of the extinction tree.

“The capabilities of the Central Council are beyond imagination. Who would have thought that the encroaching bodies of foreign media would be trapped and quarantined underground in the city…”

Lennok smiled and shook his head.

“It wouldn’t be surprising if there were tens of thousands of casualties if we made even the slightest mistake but were we confident enough to handle it?”

The old man slowly raised his blurry gaze as if reacting to those words.

A dry cracking voice escaped from his throat.

“I haven’t slept in decades….”

“….”

“Staying up all night with my eyes open watching it float in space forever… I… I… I… I didn’t want this….”

Although a considerable amount of time had passed since the warlock Craig Tillian died and the Avatar of the Extinct Tree was subdued.

Even if you calculate the time accurately decades are inconsistent.

This is even more so when you consider that the power of the extinction tree that was consumed by Reisen was discovered only relatively recently.

But Lennok knew that the lament that Reisen muttered was not a lie.

“The time felt while floating in space with the apocalypse on the other side of the ocean will be vastly different from what humans feel.”

Lennok answered.

“In that amount of time it wouldn’t be surprising if your mind was completely worn out… On the contrary it’s surprising that you haven’t forgotten the language yet.”

“I once received the baptism of a religious denomination… at a diplomatic event…”

Reisen stammered and answered with difficulty.

Rather than speaking by vibrating human vocal cords it is an irregular tone that seems to have replaced the noise of tree nuts cracking into language.

But even in the meantime Reisen was struggling desperately to talk to Lennok.

“Reciting scriptures…praising and worshiping and so on…”

“You maintained your spirit by reciting the church’s doctrines?”

Even as Lennok questioned this he was convinced of the truth to some extent.

Although some may not admit it the church is one of the experts who most accurately understands the Sea of ​​Darkness.

Even though they abuse fanaticism and human sacrifice in worship and praise they are able to handle and manipulate that power within the realm of commercialism.

Or maybe it’s only possible using that method.

“Kill Ju Ju Ju Ju.”

“what?”

“Oh oh oh I can’t hold on for much longer… I can’t do this anymore…”

Hot!!

Reisen caressed Lennok’s shield with both hands and muttered absentmindedly.

Now he seems unable to maintain his voice for long and even his pronunciation is becoming muffled and leaking.

“It can’t be done without support funds. Unless his consciousness is now focused on the oldest lineage…!!!”

The old man’s body splits on the spot muscles and skeleton crushing under the skin and melting like a jellyfish.

Reisen’s heartbreaking cry as he looks at Lennok with bloodshot eyes.

“You can do it… you did it…!!!”

“…”

“No… it’s coming back… Dododo is coming back!!!”

Food deuk!!

On the spot Reisen’s body was crushed and exploded without a trace and the huge black tree moved greatly as if writhing.

The presence of something that had returned to this place in place of the missing Reisen’s body and consciousness and was staring at Lennok.

[….]

It is not a complex and fierce emotion like murderous intent or hostility.

A gluttonous spirit that seems to drip with invisible saliva as if looking at very delicious prey.

Reisen consumed by the power of extinction cannot even become human.

I just think of it as nourishment that even Lennok can faithfully absorb according to its fundamental desires and instincts.

Can this be called a tree? The moment when Lennok shook his head with a bitter smile.

A human face popped out between the tree stumps and smiled brightly at Lennok.

[looks delicious.]

Kiriririk!!

Hundreds of tree trunks covering all sides of the huge basement wrapped around Lennok and began to rotate violently.

* * *

The moment when Lennok’s new model was covered by hundreds of tree trunks.

Hundreds of people who were watching the scene through the screen jumped up from their seats.

“Damn the rain…!!”

“Reisen Azamaha is trying to prey on the lightning!!”

“Activate the spell barrier. “Prepare to administer medication!!”

“Plant growth inhibitor injection!!”

“Complete construction of 86 types of concept magic curses!”

The shamans gathered in the huge drinking circle raised their forces from all directions.

Researchers wearing gowns are busy running around and operating drug delivery devices.

Immediately after a huge arrow protruded from various parts of the basement and struck through the trunk of a giant tree.

Push!! Push!!

The growth inhibitor built into the giant arrow forcibly suppresses the tree’s energy activity.

The shamans who were waiting to watch Reisen poured out dozens of shaman curses as if they had been waiting.

With scholars who have worked in the Greenbelt and studied various plants and long-lived species.

A collaboration between Bunryeon a magic unit directly under the city council that specializes in suppressing and restraining magic receptors.

But even so the tree trunks shaking like crazy in the basement did not stop.

As if they were even more excited by the pouring of witchcraft curses and drug administration they were just swinging the tree trunk like a wave.

Barriers made of metal and insulators are absorbed and sucked out and the space in the sealed basement shrinks.

In an instant red warning lights flashed everywhere illuminating the pale scholars and shamans.

“Wrong. “They don’t listen to me at all!!”

“I plan to completely devour the level 8 archmage. “We’ve already maxed out the output!!”

“There wasn’t even a foreshadowing… Were you aiming for this from the beginning?!”

The absorption power of a single thin tree trunk is enough to suck out the entire moisture of a living human being.

If hundreds of such tree trunks were massaging one person at the same time it would not be surprising if even mana and soul were sucked out as nutrients.

Even more so what would happen if the target was a level 8 archmage with enormous magical power?

The team leader sensing the worst situation immediately contacted the emergency contact network.

“Stop power work and evacuate. “From now on I will declare a state of emergency and request help from above.”

“It’s impossible to fix it unless you have special power that transcends hierarchy. “Unless it’s reinforcements who are innocent…!!”

Tduduk!!

At that moment the movement of the tree which had been constantly moving and wrapping around Lennok and kneading it suddenly stopped.

As if he had been burned by a hot fire he was so startled that he couldn’t even take his hand away so he got out of control and started running wild.

[…!!!]

As if a loud inaudible scream resounded the end of the tree trunk which was swinging violently was crushed and exploded on the spot.

Don’t miss it!!!

The magic power of the lightning seeping through the tree trunks explodes cells and breaks tissue bonds.

A human face in pain appeared and disappeared dozens of times between the black surface of the giant tree.

[It hurts it hurts it hurts!!!]

Each person let out a desperate scream and shout and then disappeared.

Immediately afterwards the tree trunks surrounding Lennok were cut off on the spot and turned into a handful of ashes.

The basement which had been filled with huge tree trunks had been completely cleaned out leaving only one small withered tree.

In front of the small sapling that was left behind a wizard with a staff was standing with an expressionless face.

The scholars who were watching this scene clutched the screen with blank faces.

“…I decided it couldn’t be eaten and cut off the roots myself.”

“You decided that you had to stop here even if it was impossible to survive on your own for a while?”

“No it must have been a purely instinctive reaction. but….”

“It won’t happen for a while so it would be best not to provoke it as much as possible.”

Before we knew it Lennok had disappeared from the other side of the screen and was standing next to the scholars.

“I just used my magic instead of the growth inhibition you were originally trying to do.”

“Wow!!”

“Uh since when!!”

The sight of scholars falling behind their chairs in fright and retreating.

Lennok looked at that figure expressionlessly and walked away without any regrets.

“It is the oldest lineage….”

Reisen only mentioned the keyword and did not tell us what to do.

Lennoch had already obtained the means to investigate the meaning of those words.

“….”

The shamans were staring in horror at the small piece of dried wood in Lennok’s hand.
