Drug-Eating Genius Mage

Chapter 969

The Medicine-Taking Genius Wizard Episode 969: Geumje

(24)

The half-ruined temple of Anathema and the dark cathedral where the silt that was pouring down has disappeared.

The scene of a quiet chapel lit by candles and wooden chairs lined up around it.

Meanwhile, a scream suddenly rang out.

“doesn’t exist!”

bang!!

“no!!”

Bang bang!!

“There is none!!”

Ermont, who was turning over between the wooden chairs in the chapel, cried out.

“Aaaah! “My curse maw that I got after acting like a dog for two days!!!”

“...Stop giving up, Ermont.”

Soryu, who was sitting in the chapel chair with his head down helplessly, answered.

The ring that was on his finger also suddenly disappeared.

However, unlike Ermont, Soryu’s expression after losing the Ice Man looked much calmer.

“In that situation, it is ridiculous to go so far as to target and steal relics. “I still haven’t been able to let go of my regrets.”

“Don’t act fucking aloof. “Do you want to at least protect the dignity of a prince in this situation?”

“Then, if it were you, would you be able to think as far as a black hole falling right in front of you?”

A cold air flowed from Soryu’s mouth as he leaned on the chair with a pale expression.

Damn it...!!

The chair and his body turn into cold ice and stick together, and parts of his body turn into ice and collapse as if melting.

It was as if he was pressed against a chair in a chapel and was somehow able to withstand the collapse of his body.

Excessive use of ice-type and blood-type abilities to survive the battle with lightning.

This was because, now that the Ice Master had been taken away, he was receiving the full recoil of his abilities with his own body.

Soryu frowned as if in pain from the cold that was eating away at his entire body, and spoke softly.

“We only found out about it after we escaped, so we had no right to have that relic. “For now, I’ll have to be satisfied with the fact that Sergeant Geumgi has come over here.”

“no!! “In order to use black magic properly, you had to have that cute toad!”

“I don’t know what’s so cute about that grumpy toad...”

Hilea shook her head next to Ermont, who was screaming while clutching his cheek.

“It seems ominous to me, as if a curse will take over at any moment. Have you lived so long that your eyes have rotted away?”

“Hi Leah. What are you saying? “It’s charm is that it’s so fierce that it seems like it’s going to bite its owner at any moment!”

“....”

It is difficult to sympathize with the aesthetic values of warlocks who have lived for over hundreds of years.

Hilea sighed and adjusted her eye patch and immediately looked away.

“Ugh thick thick.”

A psychopath crawls on the floor looking for a toad, and Soryu leans on a chair and catches his breath.

Maiya Lenslit, leaning silently at the back door of the chapel. The image of Hyeolno crouching next to the organ and muttering to himself.

There is an atmosphere of exhaustion and wear and tear, as if a great storm has swept through.

This probably means that what happened in the underground temple was a significant burden for the members gathered here.

“Oh my stomach hurts. What is this? In the end, I worked hard for two days and did something good for that friend!”

[Even if your mouth is crooked, you must speak straight.]

At that moment, a cold shout rang out right behind Ermont.

An old cathedral in District 21. Shadow Robe standing with his arms crossed in the center of the first floor chapel.

[If it weren’t for me, you all would have died on the spot.]

“...Victor.”

The brilliance of the obsidian mask flashed dimly beneath the hood, and red eye light leaked from within the mask.

The appearance of Lennok with his head raised, surrounded by members of Pandemonium.

[It’s not enough to struggle against one wizard, so you’re just talking about how to escape.]

“....”

[I solved your problems for you, so shouldn’t I get a reward instead?]

Grumble ...!!

As Lennok said that, he rolled up his sleeves and a glass-colored sweatshirt appeared.

A beautiful glass-colored brilliance that illuminates the chapel with a soft resonant sound like ringing a bell.

The golden weapon, which was constantly shaking the space and going wild, is as quiet as a lie in his hands.

However, the expressions of the other members looking at the gauntlet were subtly stiff.

“Victor. “I haven’t heard anything about you in this plan.”

Soryu, who was sitting back in his chair with a tired look, raised his gaze.

His expression was so tense that he looked pale from fatigue, but his eyes were cold.

“How did you find out about this operation and come here?”

[I received Hilea’s message.]

Lennok answered leisurely, crossing his arms.

[I heard there was urgent work to be done near the Balkans.]

“No. Hilea did not verbally explain the plan to us.”

Soryu said in a cold voice.

“This is because right after Sabrina went into suspended animation, we were avoiding verbal or written communication for the time being. “There’s no way we could have found that place with just that message.”

[....]

“Where did the information leak out? “Have you been following one of the members?”

Upon Anathema’s death, Hilea devised a plan to remove the relics from her home.

Among the members of Pandemonium, those who could move immediately were selected and summoned to Balkan.

In the process, the doctor’s role was to prepare the items and means needed to attack the temple.

However, no one had ever heard that that special type magician would participate in the operation.

It would be a lie if I said that I didn’t have any doubts about the existence of Victor, who showed up at the most critical moment of the plan and left out only important items.

[I quit.]

Whoop!!

Lennok sneered as he looked at Maiya’s twitching left hand.

[Because it doesn’t seem like it would be much fun to fight against an executioner with a broken arm.]

“....”

Even Lennok, who had mastered the manipulation technique, had to feel the recoil of his soul shaking the moment he put on the taboo armor.

Those are the blood relatives of the ascendant used as material for the taboo weapon. This is probably because the spirit rejects and pushes away the wearer.

As Maiya, who is not a magician, she would have had to suffer considerable damage just by enduring the reaction for a while.

Although he doesn’t show it on the outside, it’s not surprising if his senses are damaged to the point where he can’t use his left arm at all.

[No matter what you say, I will take this weapon. You won’t start complaining now, right?]

“There is no disagreement about the ownership of Geumgi Armory. “Because it wasn’t our property to begin with.”

Maiya said and raised her face.

“For now, just the fact that the weapon came over here is enough.”

As a result, it was Victor’s own ability to steal the taboo weapon and run away from it.

Putting aside how the lightning would react in the future, it was a predetermined outcome that Victor would take the weapon.

“It’s time. “Glen’s airship will arrive in a little while.”

Maiya turned her gaze to the chapel clock.

“I’ll just say the last thing I want to say and end. “This is a story about the subjugation operation proposed by Damus.”

“....”

At that moment, the sharp atmosphere in the chapel turned into frustrating silence.

Ermont whistles and averts his gaze, and Soryu, half of his body melting away, smiles bitterly.

Even Hyeolno, who was ignoring the surrounding noise and muttering to himself, closed his mouth for a moment and only flashed blood-red eyes.

Most of the members gathered here are the ones who ran away after confronting the wizard just a moment ago.

He had felt what a deformed monster the wizard he had faced in the underground temple was.

“It was unexpected to face Lightning in this operation, but it is also true that we were able to confirm some of his power.”

Maiya asked, looking around.

“I’d like to hear everyone’s thoughts on that. “At the very least, we will try to confirm Damus’ intention before his plan is planned in earnest.”

“Well... I’m not sure.”

A delusion that rarely flows from the mouth of Soryu, whose judgment is clear.

He sat down on the chair, exuding coldness and shaking his head.

“I never knew that man could handle ice magic so well. “I heard that he possesses multiple attributes, but in fact, he seems to have reached a level where he is not bound by lineage.”

“....”

“All the abilities and techniques I used didn’t work. Even if the royal family’s Noble Phantasms had been used, the result would have been the same.”

Soryu possesses Noble Phantasms taken from the Kabahim royal treasury, but did not take them out in the battle with Lightning.

This is because it would not have been strange if he had taken out various precious items, such as the first world relic [666 Burnt Redemption Orb], and had it stolen right in front of his eyes by a lightning rod.

In fact, wasn’t even the ice seal he was wearing taken away so easily?

“Even among level 8 wizards, he is a powerhouse of a different class. It wouldn’t be strange if he was challenging for ascension as rumored...”

“No, you’re not that crazy yet.”

Ermont spoke passionately as if he felt unfair.

“You seem to be a more cold-hearted person than any wizard I’ve ever seen, but who keeps spreading rumors that you’ve lost your temper?”

“It’s not normal for a wizard like Ermont to be there.”

Hilea retorted in a calm voice.

“Don’t you know why the plan failed in the first place? “Even after subduing the apostles, instead of seeking medical treatment, they are looking for loot. It is a being that far exceeds our expectations.”

[....]

“Only on the outside we can communicate normally, but on the inside, it is already rotten and rotten.”

Hilea shrugged his shoulders at Ermont, who was sobbing.

“This is what usually happens to wizards who reach that point. “You know.”

“...Hahaha.”

At that moment, Ermont’s laughter became lower.

He tilted his head back and covered his face and spoke quietly.

“Now that I think about it, it’s a story I don’t really want to know.”

“I just got lucky this time, and the next time I fight against fastness, the structure will be completely different.”

Maiya said, carelessly stroking her left arm.

“The true value of fastness lies in its output and inaction that far exceed that of a magician of the same class. This time, the timing and location were fortunate enough to limit the output and fight, but-”

“It would be a different story if we fought while sitting in the tower’s sphere of influence, right?”

The reason Maiya was able to compete with Lightning for the forbidden weapon was possible because Lennok responded to the fight while refraining from using high-ranking magic.

Crucially, he did not even use the lightning bolt he was said to have used to subdue Anathema.

This is the result despite restricting the environment and conditions of a wizard who specializes in firing wide-range magic.

If you fight within the sphere of the tower, where location restrictions disappear, it would not be strange for the Thunder God to descend on all corners of heaven and earth.

“Besides, he had that Feisha Grisburn under his wing. “You know, you’re not the kind of person to bow down to someone like that.”

Maiya said with her arms crossed.

“We cannot ignore the possibility that Damus may have another purpose at a time when the corps commander is cooperating with Lightning-”

[This is going on for a long time.]

Victor responded harshly.

[What do you want to say?]

“...even considering various situations and reasons, fastness is a dangerous entity that surpasses all situations and assumptions.”

Maiya’s eyes lit up.

“A strict restriction that limits spells and magical power. “The odds of victory can only be discussed if the spirit is at least intact.”

“....”

“Well, you’re not saying we should wait for him to turn around now, are you?”

“Well, at least if those conditions don’t come true...” A

faint bitter smile appeared on Maiya’s lips for a moment.

“I guess we should at least bring the King of Heaven and have him sit in front of the Emperor.”
