Drug-Eating Genius Mage

The Medicine-Taking Genius Wizard Episode 885:

Eyes that See Destiny (21)

Whioooo!!!

A huge stone wall measuring tens of meters.

A scene where the outer wall of the dam, which was originally supposed to contain a huge amount of water, has been cut out in a neat circular shape.

As if the entire sphere had come into contact with it and evaporated, the cut surface burned and boiled, and the material that could not overcome the heat melted and flowed out like lava.

Cheeeeeek!!

A jarring noise as if heaven and earth were melting at the same time. Acrid smoke rising endlessly before my eyes.

thud!!

A wolf with soot all over its body emerged from among the completely dried remains of the inner wall of the canal.

The wolf, which was glaring at the burning ground with its fierce gaze, bared its teeth and suddenly roared.

“Damn it… hey Angel!!”

“I’m here~”

Angel, whose lower body had melted like water, was hanging precariously near the top of the dam’s outer wall and waving his hands.

The sight of Lauder tidying up his uniform with a gentle expression next to Angel.

As the two men climbed down the ramp on the outer wall of the dam, they looked back in disgust at the boiling lava everywhere.

“Who is that wizard bastard?!”

“I ran away a long time ago. “What are you expecting?”

Of course, Lennok’s appearance has long since disappeared somewhere.

Angel sat down helplessly and muttered as he looked at the miserable sight of the half-broken dam.

“I don’t think they had any intention of fighting us properly from the beginning.”

“My prediction was completely wrong.”

Lauder smiled bitterly and completely folded the scroll he was holding.

“I thought that in order to obtain that level of mobility and inaction, you must have placed conditions and constraints like Geass on the technique. “He seems to be a wizard with much greater capabilities than I thought.”

“This is all because you gave me room to deal with your useless explanations.”

Merilda, transformed into the form of a giant phantom beast, raised her claws and scratched the concrete, glaring at Lauder.

“A mantra that explains the principles of a spell and increases its power. Did you really have to do that in front of that wizard?”

Lauder, a witch doctor, is very skilled at controlling the power of spells by placing restrictions and restraints on them due to the nature of the system he deals with.

The direct comment about Lennok’s flame magic just before restraining him was also a way to increase the power of the curse through a type of Geass.

However, Merilda was pointing out that she had given Lennok room to deal with it.

“If the power of the curse had not been increased that much, we would not have been able to lay the board in the first place.”

Lauder calmly responded to Merilda’s harsh criticism.

“Not only me, but many high-ranking magicians use magic spells at a certain level as naturally as breathing. “You probably saw Evan Martinez have a similar reaction.”

“….”

“Judging that it will work on the opponent if you increase the power of the spell by imposing this level of restraint is the realm of intuition. “It is difficult to explain with logic how strong a certain Geass will be because it depends on individual differences.”

said Lauder, tapping his temple with his finger.

“The only problem is that the way Martinez uses magic seems very familiar with Geass.”

“You looked familiar with Geass?”

“Compression and release attenuation and amplification of techniques. “We understand how to handle magical power to make it more powerful under certain conditions, and we use it by modifying it in various situations.”

Lauder muttered thoughtfully.

“But if magic manipulation is perfect, there is no reason to use it with so many conditions. Could it be that it is difficult to control the power for some reason…”

“That’s ridiculous. “Is this the result of the monstrous sun-manifesting magic having difficulty controlling its power?”

Merilda frowned as if she found it hard to believe.

“It had such strong expansion properties that it was one of the few secret amplification techniques I had seen in person. “If I had been a little late in my judgment, we would all have died.”

A collection of calories so enormous that it is hard to believe that they were vomited by a single wizard.

An unrealistic miracle of creating the sun with a human body and dropping it on this spot.

If it had been too late to leave just a little distance and run away, it would have been difficult for everyone gathered here to be safe.

It is said that a magician who used such a powerful technique at perfect timing to destroy the structure in one fell swoop actually finds it difficult to control his own power.

However, no one here could realize that what had just been said contained a fragment of truth, even if just for a moment.

Lauder also seemed unsure and shrugged his shoulders.

Merilda, who returned to her human form, looked shocked as she saw the cell phone ringing non-stop in her arms.

“They say the secretary’s office is getting a lot of calls. “Others must have been watching that little Taeyang.”

“You want data.”

“At this level, even if we can’t stop it, the goal of consuming it has been achieved, so wouldn’t it be okay?”

“what? Consumption?”

Merilda snorted as if she wasn’t feeling well.

“It looks like you don’t know anything about flame-heat techniques. Do you think a flame magician of that level would be wasted in a fight like this?”

“Merilda. “Actually, they didn’t know much until they got involved in Deadrise’s operation last time.”

“Noisy!”

Merilda said, patting Angel’s head, which was as empty as ice.

“The basics of the flame system are that the more you fight, the more powerful you become. “The purpose is to continuously burn firewood to start a fire.”

“….”

“Considering the type of magic core he used earlier, he probably intends to use it as a stepping stone for all battles taking place in this city.”

Merilda’s expression, which had returned to that of a girl, was unusually stern.

“I really want to have a fight with that bastard.”

“Hmm…”

Lauder heard those words and turned to look in the direction where Lennok had disappeared.

It didn’t take long for a strange smile to appear on his expressionless face and then disappear.

“I think that might be useful in its own way.”

“what?”

“If we can’t stop it anyway, shouldn’t we find a way to use it in our own way?”

* * *

Port located in Area 47.

It was a familiar place to Lennok, who had escaped and flowed in through the evaporation of the dam.

Splat!!

Lenok dragged his exhausted body to the port and quietly climbed onto the port.

With a single wave of my hand, I blew all the moisture off my body and calmly walked through the quiet harbor.

Lennok, hiding among the containers piled up everywhere, leaned against the driver’s seat of a forklift that had stopped while loading cargo.

“Whoa…”

When was the last time you stopped by this area?

I once played a game with Deadrise’s commander, Feisha Grisburn, for gambling purposes.

Since then, this is my first time setting foot in this area.

In the first place, this may be because District 47 itself was mostly created as an environment for related businesses.

Lennok was lost in thought as he slowly pounded his throbbing chest.

‘Now that we have activated the red star system, we need to use our time more tightly from now on.’

Red Star, a secret amplification technique that increases the power of magic by molding preheated flames into a magic core.

Another possibility created by Lennok by combining the ultimate flame magic and Jindun’s barrier technique.

However, at the point of activating the red star system, it is no different from giving up the control over the power of magic that was barely maintained.

‘It is a radical method of unleashing magical power to the limit and creating an external inflection point. There is no limiter other than controlling the number of cores.’

If you do not borrow a medium such as a lighter or spark stone, from now on you will have no choice but to use all magic at close to maximum power.

A strange phenomenon that occurred because the magical power, which was unstable between 1 and 100, was set to 100 and stabilized.

‘First, let’s deal with those who are trying to secure Lapis’s safety…’

By moving Evan and Lightning’s status in the Vulcan at the same time, solving the wanted order and Lapis’ ascension ritual at the same time.

A means to achieve Lennok’s own goal of being qualified for ascension.

The moment Lennok was about to close his eyes for a moment as he continued to think about it.

Crash.

“….”

I open my eyes to the feeling of the cold muzzle of a gun against my temple.

Before I knew it, more than a dozen superhumans were standing around the forklift where Lennok was sitting.

A crowd of people staring at Lennok from all directions, including container boxes, ships, and yachts.

“…I’ll ask you first.”

Lennok asked, slowly taking out a cigar from his arms.

“Where do you belong?”

“You have good guts.”

A middle-aged man with a long mustache said sarcastically.

He was carrying a long howitzer and was aiming it as if he were going to blow up Lennok with a forklift.

“Does that matter when we are being chased across the city like pigs being slaughtered?”

“It’s important.”

When Lennok nodded, someone among the people facing each other spoke.

“Hyeolwiseondan. “He is a businessman.”

“He was a human trafficker.”

“….”

Lennok’s words immediately cut to the core, and the atmosphere around him turned grim.

Lennok looked back at those people and smiled grimly.

“If you look at the people gathered at the port, they probably use ships to transport stolen goods and have joined hands with the Navy, which is said to be more corrupt than the National Guard. Since I haven’t heard the name, is this a recently established organization?”

“What does a foreigner know…!!”

“Oh, I’m sorry.”

Lennok raised his hand and laughed, interrupting the conversation.

“I feel a little more at ease when I think that finally I have taken the bait of firewood that I can burn as much as I want.”

“what?”

Although work was delayed due to unintentional encounters with acquaintances, that is not the picture Lennok painted.

The fundamental reason why he wandered around the outskirts in the first place, deliberately showing his face with a wanted notice.

Wasn’t that so that everyone watching could clearly see the process of Evan Martinez growing in power in this city?

The meaning of burning the Balkans is not a trivial story limited to structures or facilities, but a calculation that includes the cost of the lives of those who have heard the wanted order and are targeting Lennok.

And the human waste that could be burned without any worries in this city was spread out like stars in the night sky.

Just like the human traffickers who are proudly standing in front of Lennok right now.

Grumbling!!

At that moment, the sky over the port brightened brightly and soon began to glow infinitely red.

All the people gathered here momentarily raised their gazes at the strange phenomenon, but were unable to look down again.

Kugwagwagwa!!

Because a huge, blazing ship was falling on Lennok’s head.

Everyone stops unable to say anything at that overwhelming sight.

“There is a lot of work to be done before we arrive at the Magic Tower.”

Lennok muttered as he watched the brilliance of the sun rapidly approaching the ground.

“You guys won’t pay attention.”

“What kind of bullshit-!!!”

“I plan to die here together!!”

[Eight Flame World]

[Jade Flame Hell]

Quaaaaaaaaa!!!!!

* * *

The Magic Tower of Lightning located in area 49.

A staircase area where business departments directly located for individual item business are located.

Meanwhile, a woman with navy blue hair was walking around busily.

“This item works on a strange principle. “It’s a safety device that only works when the power is turned off.”

Click.

“It would be convenient to use a built-in button for the magic signal bullet, but wouldn’t this slow down the catalytic reaction too much?”

Ugh!

“Oh, I’ve seen it in the center. I heard that it is an artifact that can be compressed in volume only in pure water. “It hasn’t been commercialized yet because we haven’t solved the weight problem-”

“Hey, Lapis…”

Lapis was looking at the item with a curious expression, and her attendants were following behind her and breaking into a cold sweat.

One of the magic tower’s management staff noticed this and spoke to Lapis.

“The tower owner has given permission to move, but it is difficult to touch the items being sold in the market.”

“Why?”

“Well, some of the items stocked here are not entirely owned by the Magic Tower…”

“Hmm…”

Lapis tilted her head as if she didn’t like it, but then smiled brightly.

“no, I do not want.”

“yes?”

“You kidnapped me at will and locked me in the tower.”

“….”

“I don’t know when I might die at the hands of that person, so isn’t it okay to quench my curiosity?”

“Uh…”

While the attendants were struggling to say anything, someone from behind grabbed Lapis by the collar and lifted her up.

“Let’s leave it at that.”

“what?”

A sturdy build with broad shoulders. The head of a sturdy eagle soars above it.

Felix was standing with one hand lifting the nape of Lapis’ neck.

“These are people who know nothing about this matter. “No matter how much I grind, nothing comes out.”

“I have no intention of criticizing these people. “Aren’t you misunderstanding something?”

“misunderstanding?”

Felix’s eyes flashed brightly as he stared at Lapis.

“You mean you were excitedly walking around the tower and trying to find a loophole in the barrier?”

“….”

“What you did at the center was too profound to pretend to be childish. In fact, that may be why I can imitate an innocent child.”

“Did it look like that?”

Only after hearing Felix’s calm words did Lapis’ expression slowly change.

The smiley atmosphere subsides in an instant, and the face returns to its expressionless expression.

“I’m sorry. “I just tried not to cause anyone to worry.”

“….”

“Felix….”

“Go first.”

Felix said without looking at the hesitant attendants.

“I am watching over the lighthouse keeper. “I’ll call you when the time comes.”

“You’re thinking of locking me in that underground cave again.”

“Even if there is a will, it is not possible to allow access to all the secret areas of the tower.”

Lapis tilted her head and spoke, and Felix nodded.

“Please stay in the designated place for about half a day every day. “I would like to ask for your understanding regarding this incident.”

“….”

Lapis looked at Felix with light blue eyes without any answer.

Her transparent, shining eyes seem to be trying to see into Felix’s inner self at any moment.

However, Felix did not avoid her gaze and faced her calmly.

“There is something you wish for.”

Lapis asked.

“Hope for others, not for yourself. Do you want to borrow the power of my supernormal abilities?”

Did he suddenly realize that the lighthouse keeper’s sight-seeing ability was needed to change the future of Antares?

Clearly, this is proof that Lapis is the successor to the lighthouse keeper’s power and mission in a more legitimate way than anyone else.

“…I see.”

Therefore, instead of trying to hide it or hide it, Felix honestly admitted it.

“But I don’t plan on making that a condition of the deal. “I plan to strictly follow the class’s decision regarding this matter.”

“….”

Bringing up the story about Antares is not what Felix should do now.

Since we have not yet heard the circumstances surrounding this incident from Ban, we should refrain from hastily intervening in Lapis’ decision-making.

If Lapis hadn’t spoken first, Felix had no intention of saying a word about it from the beginning.

“I saw a lot of people walking around the tower.”

Lapis, who was staring at Felix in silence, said.

“Regardless of the standards of good and evil, various people stayed in this tower and socialized in their own ways.”

It’s already been a few days since I was trapped in the tower, and in the meantime, I’ve seen many of the tower’s officials.

The people I met along the way, including Jenny and Felix, never seemed like evil people.

Rather, there was something about Lapis that was attracted to that cheerful and boisterous behavior.

However, even though they feel sorry for Lapis’s situation, they all strictly follow the wizard’s decision to be fast.

Lapis wanted to know where the emotions and motivations that came from the discrepancy in his actions were coming from.

“Why would a warrior with such strong standards as you be with that wizard?”

“That’s an interesting question. After all, half the people are never good.”

Felix laughed out loud when he heard that.

“In a way, it is true that it has a much more frightening aspect than the rumors. But still half human.”

“You mean human?”

“Even as they strive for impossible goals and try to catch up with their unattainable hearts… they still try to share the same feelings as us.”

Felix’s expression suddenly turned vague.

“I know because I have gone through the great pilgrimage once. “It is evidence of efforts to not let go of humanity while reaching a level of transcendence that ordinary people like us cannot even dream of.”

“….”

Felix smiled at Lapis, who kept her mouth shut.

“I think that really proves that it is the opposite. “How can you leave someone who is trying so hard not to let go of you?”

Even after transcending the hierarchy and becoming a level 8 archmage, the class hasn’t changed.

It does not change even after crossing the border between life and death hundreds of times and returning alive from countless battlefields.

However, the fact that the constancy that I feel every time I face my class is not something that is easily given.

Felix knew that he was trying to be like the first time.

Lapis also understood Felix’s words and let out a cold sigh.

“You mean you can be satisfied just by watching?”

“I’ve never thought about it that deeply. If I really had to ask…”

Felix smiled bitterly.

“I believe it.”

“….”

Even as he reaches out for the sky, his feet are trying to keep their feet on the ground.

Because I know that if I let myself go even just a little bit, if I lose my balance even once and collapse, there is no turning back.

And the mindset to cherish and protect that value is the essence of why Felix trusts and follows Van.

The process, not the result. That disposition to humbly treat attempts, not achievements, was the strength he had from the moment he first met Ban.

“Was it a sufficient answer?”

“…no. “I cannot sympathize with a process that does not choose any means.”

Lapis shook her head.

“I don’t want even this moment of kidnapping me and forcibly tying me up to be that man’s answer.”

“I understand.”

“However, I agree that even a wizard like that should enjoy the time given through the postponement of destruction. So…”

Lapis nodded, obediently putting down the item she was holding and slowly getting down in front of Felix.

“I’ll come back tomorrow.”

“Thank you for understanding.”

Felix smiled and guided Lapis to the underground cavity.

Felix said as he walked down a ramp that didn’t even have stairs.

“It seems like the guardian spirit is quite following you. “He will be very happy if we spend time together.”

“I’m so energetic. “It’s hard to play for a long time.”

“Good. “If you take away the stamina of a lighthouse keeper, you won’t have time to think about useless things.”

“Is it okay to say that in front of me?”

Lapis smiled bitterly and looked back at Felix before the common door closed.

“Still, I hope I can hear it someday. “What is the hope so strong that a warrior who survived a pilgrimage would wish it on others?”

“Those words alone are enough.”

Felix smiled and turned his back.

Close the communal door and contact your attendants to ask them to remain in their place.

thud!!

A wide obsidian cavity illuminated by soft lighting.

[Gyao~]

A pure white baby dragon lies down and sleeps, but as soon as it sees Lapis, it runs out in a huff.

However, unlike before, Lapis’s eyes were calm as she was stroking Youngsu, who was licking her hair.

“….”

Lapis’s ability to see is not simply the power to strengthen one’s vision and transmit it to the past and future.

The power to make any space, coordinate concept, or object that one’s eyes have once touched into a real ‘eye’.

This is a qualification that should be given to a lighthouse keeper who observes the open sea using the lighthouse as his or her eyes.

And the fact that I went around various parts of the tower and met various people while personally causing trouble for the attendants –

crackling crackling…!!

As I close my eyes and concentrate, I see someone else’s gaze through my eyelids.

The attendant standing at the back of the large hospital room looks nervous and looks at Jenny and the others standing in the center of the room.

In the center of the hospital bed lay a man wearing a wrestler’s mask, his entire body in tatters, lying helpless.

“jenny!”

The sight of a bird-headed giant suddenly opening the hospital room door.

Felix, who had taken Lapis to the underground cave, immediately heard the news and came to the hospital room.

“Dylan collapsed and came back?!”

“Yes. It looks like he went out on his own and collided with a wizard named Evan.”

The moment when Lapis’ heart sank as she listened to Jenny’s words.

“Lapis.”

Whoop!!

At that moment, the darkness split beyond the obsidian cavity and a green eye light flashed.

Evelyn walked out holding the visor in one hand, put a finger to her lips and whispered.

“Be quiet for now. “Are you listening?”
