Genius Magician Who Takes Medicine, Chapter 556
From the end of failure (3)
Clap!!
With the sound of communication being completely cut off, the conference room at Kurvas Dam fell into a dead silence.
Dozens of people stared at the woman in the center of the conference room without even breathing.
The space of the meeting room was filled with an overwhelming presence that flowed from the being with a veil covering her face and wearing a colorful coating.
Oliviera didn’t say anything and looked at the damaged equipment as the communication was cut off, then turned around without regret.
The figure of Virgil, a vampire who glides along behind her.
Keegan gritted his teeth and opened his mouth.
“Now, wait… … !!”
[…] … .]
“Are you going to come all the way here and go back with only a few words left behind? … !!”
At Keegan’s words, Oliviera quietly turned her gaze and stared at him through the veil.
Cold sweat ran down Keegan’s back just by facing the faint glow of the dark eyes hidden by the veil.
A feeling of pressure pouring down along the line of sight. It was also difficult to resist the reverberation of the magical power that weighed down her shoulders.
But even in the midst of that, Keegan tried not to forget what he had to do.
“Considering the procedures and responsibilities omitted to guide you to this place, this is not enough.”
Keegan took a deep breath and continued speaking with a pale complexion.
“A little more, please provide solid information and circumstantial evidence about the inside of the closed area… … .”
“… … Officer Keegan Grimes.”
At those words, Virgil, the vampire standing behind Oliviera, slightly bared his teeth.
At the same time, the thick smell of blood emanating from under your feet. Keegan took her breath lightly.
“I understand your situation, but it’s not like I can tolerate rude words and actions.”
“… … .”
Just by revealing a faint sense of life, the environment inside the meeting room is gradually changing.
An ancient vampire who overtook Parden McQueen to take the cartel’s de facto chief executive position as the first president.
It is rumored even in the sun that its intelligence and power are the most correctly balanced even in a huge conglomerate.
“The cartel is not bound by the interests of the city government. If you want to understand that fact in a different way than words, there is no reason to stop it.”
If a 7th-level Ascendant starts using his hands right here, there will be blood and wind.
But Keegan gritted his teeth and shook his head.
“… … no. I’ll have to listen though. If you know anything, you should definitely tell us here.”
A somewhat far-fetched claim. But it wasn’t that Keegan was writing her shoals at Oliviera for no reason.
It’s not just to be compensated for the risk I took to get her into the dam here.
The fact that Oliviera herself arrived at this place in itself was clear evidence that she had the intention of heading directly to the closed area.
But after a brief conversation with Lennok, she gave up the plan without hesitation and walked away.
Keegan thought that the reason for his change of heart must be brought up here.
Because the trivial act of changing Oliviera’s mind couldn’t be established without the certainty that this matter could be solved.
“You don’t understand the warning.”
Virgil didn’t say it twice. His red eyes narrowed coldly.
The two veins of blood that rose between his fingers spun in a spiral and grabbed Keegan’s collar.
“Cheer, cooer… … !!”
Keegan’s expression, a young man and an old man coexist, is painfully distorted.
Keegan’s limbs trembled as the gushing veins gripped his throat like a living grip and choked him.
[The face.]
The bloodline’s grip, which seemed like it would snap his neck at any moment, stopped because of the thunder that resonated from the other side of the veil.
[You are a survivor of the incident in the closed area.]
“Cool!!”
A line of blood released like a lie. The collapsed Keegan coughed weakly.
[Most of them must have died shortly after the bombing, but you managed to survive and come this far.]
“Huh, huh… … !!”
To the collapsed Keegan, Oliveira turned her head languidly.
She murmured as she sat down slightly and met Keegan’s gaze.
[Kaise wasn’t too happy to see victims like you. He regarded the sacrifice he had made as an error coming from the gap between lack and failure.]
“Whoa… … !! Who would love that… … !”
[yes.]
Oliviera meekly affirmed.
[However, in the conclusion of this maddening world, it is only a minor sentiment. At least it should look that way.]
“that… … .”
[Because that mistake in judgment killed Kaise in the end.]
“… … !!!”
The remark was so shocking that even Virgil, who had been silently listening to her, held his breath.
Leaving the meeting room that had turned quiet, Oliviera slowly stood up.
[I tell you this story because, as a survivor of the incident at the time, I thought you deserved to hear about the end of Kaise.]
“… … .”
[The person who ruined your life eventually died in a similar way to the one who sacrificed you guys.]
Looking at Keegan who couldn’t say anything, Oliveira said as if she was having fun.
[The ending of those who put their own lives on the chessboard is usually like that.]
“… … You?”
Keegan asked quietly.
“Do you think your ending will be like that too?”
Virgil’s brows furrowed at the fearless question, as if he had risked his life, but was stopped by the sound of laughter that flowed through the veil.
Oliviera looked down at the collapsed Keegan for a moment, then replied with a steady voice.
[Do you mean this?]
There were no further questions and answers.
Leaving the silent meeting room behind, Oliveira and Virgil quietly walked out of the hallway.
The cartel’s most elite troops, waiting outside the conference room, quietly guided them to the roof of the dam’s water wall.
tutu tutu!!!
A heavy black aircraft gliding over the water wall, scattering loud noises.
the water wall of the dam. Due to the influence of the closed area, it is flying casually in the vicinity of the closed area, which is considered virtually impossible to fly.
[It seems that the newly developed airship has already arrived. What would have happened if anti-gravity technology had not been commercialized?]
Oliviera glanced up at the airship and said with satisfaction.
[Evan Bylon really did a great job. The landscape of this city will change a lot in the future.]
“Researchers at Cartel Headquarters are looking for a way to contact Evan Bylon. It is said that the cooperation of the authors of the paper is essential for dramatic performance improvement… … We plan to delegate that task to the board of directors.”
Virgil, who reported on the headquarters’ airship mass production business, asked as he got on the airship with Oliveira.
“Would you mind not helping Van? Even if the president moves, I came with the intention of going out on my own if the situation arises… … .”
[After meeting Kaise once, he came back to life and contacted me, so there was no need for me to move.]
Oliviera leaned back in her seat, looking tired, and bowed her head.
[That’s proof that this situation won’t end easily with just the will of either side, whether it’s Kaise or Kyeonro. I checked it, so it’s done.]
“Are you saying that the fact that the situation is not resolved quickly is in itself a good sign?”
[A piece of the past that is different from reality, yet infinitely close to reality… … It’s not a level that can be dismissed as simply a fantasy or a memory.]
From behind the veil, I felt as if Oliviera smiled slightly.
[It’s a dream we all once had, and it’s still someone else’s dream.]
“dream… … you mean?”
[Between endless rest and daydreaming, it’s just that someone hasn’t let go of that hope yet. And I think I know who he is to some extent.]
“… … .”
[Innocence probably noticed that and tried to find herself in the endless dream… … .]
Only faint ridicule remained between the distant airships.
[Even at the time, he wasn’t the only one who thought that way.]
* * *
Cold foggy cathedral.
A gigantic structure located in a meadow in the south of District 25.
Lennok took out a stimulant, hidden between buildings with the cathedral visible in the distance.
Not all of the fatigue from the intense battle has been relieved, but I can’t afford to take a long break to take care of my body.
I had no choice but to continue the forced march, even if it depended on the strength of the medicine.
“Do you see anything?”
“… … at all.”
Felix, who had been hiding his characteristic gigantic size among the piles of collapsed concrete, answered.
“I don’t see any special presence or presence outside the cathedral.”
“We can’t rule out the possibility that it’s a trap.”
Illya said while inspecting the equipment she was carrying.
Clap!!
One of the five Super Vibration Spears was already half damaged and on the verge of losing its function.
After hesitating, Illya eventually broke the broken spear in half to completely stop its function, and took the parts out of it.
The sphere, created with Cybrid Echo’s technology, contains a control device that controls movement in conjunction with Ilya’s brain waves.
The practicality of being able to resonate brain waves with magic and unify them with the movement of the spear, and apply it even to superhuman battles.
It is an item worthy of consideration for its value and rarity. It must have been difficult to throw it away in a place like this.
“In the worst case, we may be surrounded the moment we reach the meeting place.”
“… … No, that side doesn’t have that much power either.”
Lennok shook his head, pondering Ilya’s words.
“The forces put in for Kaise’s research are limited to a small number. If monsters like Oliviera or Madric have moved, you will undoubtedly know in advance.”
“… … .”
“To be considered a trap, the way the message was delivered was too secretive, and the meeting place was too far from the power plant. It is proof that I do not intend to play nonsense.”
“but… … .”
Instead of replying, Lennok stood up and started walking.
Felix and Ilya naturally stood up following the wizard with the wand, but Lennok waved his hand right away.
“Go alone.”
“Ban, it’s dangerous in a situation where the opponent doesn’t appear.”
“No, it would be safer for you guys to watch the situation from the outside.”
Lennok looked at the two of them with a cold gaze.
“As Illya said, if you consider the possibility of a trap, you should stay away even more. Wouldn’t it be the worst situation to be surrounded by three people at once?”
“… … .”
Leaving the two unable to answer, Lennok immediately moved toward the cathedral.
The quiet sound of footsteps resonating in a city that doesn’t feel human.
Even at noon, the fog surrounding the cathedral is so thick that it is difficult to see ahead.
Awesome… … !!
Holding the old church door open with his bare hands, Lennok saw that the dust that flowed through the mist had filled the chapel inside the church.
Coughing low, I walked to the front of the chapel and sat down in an empty chair.
“As promised, I came alone.”
Lennok muttered to himself in the empty chapel.
“There’s no way Kaise himself will come, so it’s probably a messenger… … If you have something to say, finish it quickly.”
Felix and Illya didn’t seem to notice, but Lennok had known for a while that someone was waiting for him inside the cathedral.
It detects signs that have faded to the limit with Magical Perception, and projects its location and traces using the angle of attack and the Mystic Eye.
“Or are you going to pray together in this old chapel?”
“… … No way.”
With those words, someone’s figure slowly began to appear in the chair across from Lennok, as if the color was peeling off.
“I am aware of the existence of gods, but I have no intention of worshiping them. This place, too, is nothing more than an incomprehensible space for unmanned people.”
A scruffy figure with arms folded and leaning crookedly, holding something elongated in its arms.
A wide black coat that did not show the shape of the body, and a strange color of hair like a checkerboard mixed with black and white.
But the moment Lennok saw the young man’s face revealed at the end, he felt his breath suffocate.
“I’ve been up all night for over fortnight. The feeling of wanting to finish the operation as soon as possible and go back is the same here. Let’s finish quickly and part ways.”
“… … .”
“Why do you look like that? Hmm, to ask if you got anything on your face, it’s actually already very dirty.”
Seeing the young man scratching his head shyly, Lennok was speechless.
I just thought about it for a long time, and then I just came up with a name in front of him.
“… … Claude Azlan. was this the purpose? for this… … .”
“hmm? How do you know its name?”
The young man with a slightly surprised expression immediately nodded his head with a satisfied expression.
“Huhuhu, it seems that the achievements accumulated on the frontline are slowly starting to spread throughout the city. Have there already been strangers recognizing me?”
“… … .”
“It was good that I took part in Kaise-dono’s operation before the civil war ended. I hope this too is clearly recorded as an achievement in the main text.”
Did Kaise know about this and send this man as a messenger to Lennok?
The face of the young man who sat in front of Lennok bore a striking resemblance to the 8th level spearman who had led him into the closed area.
No, it is not enough to say that they resemble each other.
Skip back decades, if you imagine Claude before he reached the stage, he would probably have a face like this.
Although he was freed from the effects of aging by building up a hierarchy, his expression was full of vitality before he was shaken by madness and unconsciousness.
Superhumans of the past who participated in Kaise’s operation.
It wasn’t just Oliviera, Madric Onion, or Dead Rise executives from the past.
Innocent, former 8th-level spearman who was the guardian of the battle spell, and former Claude Azlan also participated in an operation to help Kaise’s research decades ago.
