Genius Magician Who Takes Medicine, Chapter 557

From the end of failure (4)

“I was about to return after patrolling the Ramahal area, but Kaise-dono contacted me and asked me to take care of one more task.”

Claude rubbed his forehead as if tired.

“I asked for a message to be delivered by noon, so I shamelessly stayed awake here for a while. I never meant to disrespect you.”

Lennok, who had been listening to Claude’s muttering as if making excuses, asked quietly.

“Didn’t Kaise explain anything about me?”

“hmm? well. I told you to be careful about something, but about you… … Weren’t you one of the collaborators in this operation?”

“… … done. continue.”

When Claude tilted his head, a mixture of black and white hair flowed down his shoulders.

The innocence that Lenok knew was a stark contrast to the white coat and complete gray hair.

“Well, that’s not the point. For now, let’s deliver Kaise’s message.”

Claude sat upright and handed the bright yellow paper to Lennok in his arms.

“What is this?”

“I don’t know either.”

“… … .”

Claude replied to Lennok’s cold gaze, as if making excuses.

“I just heard the message to deliver this to you. It was unplanned in the first place, so there was no time to listen to the explanation.”

“Did you just tell me to deliver it?”

Considering Kaise’s attitude and actions so far, he’s not the kind of person who would throw a riddle without any basis.

shape of the talisman. It looks like nothing is drawn on it. If you think about the color of the text that should be drawn on it… … .

‘Is it magical power?’

Considering what kind of magical power Kaise possessed, the answer is probably fixed.

The moment Lennok thought so, holding the amulet upside down and injecting mana in reverse order from the back,

Arrangements of letters that had once been erased on the bright yellow paper began to emerge as if going backwards in time.

[Four hours and 38 minutes from the time this message was delivered, all work to restore the space-time fixture will be finished.]

“… … .”

[I will borrow the power of Gileon to separate the space and enter the stabilization phase with the magic eye of Oliviera.]

Did he figure out that there weren’t many messages that could pass through the firewall and immediately find the connection point?

Considering Kaise’s retrograde magic, he must have written all the letters backwards from the back to convey this message.

[Paarden McQueen is investing all his energy in the power plant’s security, but he’s reached his limit. There will be a big disruption to the security of the power plant from 2 hours ago.]

The characters that are retrograde and restored are covered over the already written characters and become increasingly difficult to recognize.

Only one word was now recognizable from the text that covered the amulet.

[There is only one chance to meet again. I hope you know what that means.]

Dig!!

At the same time as all the messages left in the amulet were restored, the letters piled up in layers all glowed brightly, drawing complex spell letters.

As soon as the message was finished playing, Kaise made the overlapping characters become the incantation characters used for the talisman, removing the remaining traces neatly and turning it into a real talisman.

Claude, who was watching it from the other side, looked at it and added his words.

“It’s the talisman you used to disable the particle power station’s control room. I’ve seen Kaise-dono use it when occupying power plant facilities.”

“… … .”

Claude nodded at the silent Lennok.

“Looks like they requested reinforcements to fill the security staff.”

Why did Kaise use Claude from the past as a messenger to deliver the message and the key to Lennok?

That’s probably because Claude at this point, unlike other superhumans of the past, was the only one who didn’t know whether Lennok was an enemy or an ally at this point.

However, if Claude returns to the power plant, it is only natural that he will know the truth.

As long as things have come this far, do you think that it doesn’t matter that Kaise’s own intentions are revealed?

In other words, it was the same as saying that the end of this situation, which Kaise himself thought was not far away.

Claude, who looked at Lennok, who didn’t say anything, as if it was strange, immediately stood up with his own spear.

“Then I will go. I think I need to close my eyes for a while before the study is over… … .”

“Before you go, there’s one piece of advice I’d like to give you.”

“hmm?”

Claude turned his back at Lennok’s sudden voice.

Lennok smiled sharply at Claude.

“It’s a very slim chance, but a monster imitating you might try to kill you.”

“… … .”

“It’s just an illusion, so don’t deal with it and run away to the power plant. It would be difficult to deal with him in such a tired state. Do you understand?”

Claude listened to Lennok’s words, then answered quietly.

“It’s such a strange thing.”

“What do you mean?”

“No, before I came here, Kaise-dono also said something similar to me… … . That was the nuance of being careful.”

“… … .”

After checking Lennok’s cold expression, Claude asked cautiously.

“Is something happening in this area that shouldn’t be happening right now?”

“okay.”

Lennok answered without hesitation.

“When you return to the power plant, Kaise will explain.”

“… … I see.”

Claude nodded, and left the church first, winking.

“Take care of yourself. That too.”

“… … .”

thud!!

At the same time as the door closed, Claude’s presence quickly moved away to the other side of the cathedral.

A movement so fast that even Lennok could not guess its speed.

Although he is in a state where he does not know what is going on, Claude Azlan at this point is also an experienced warrior with enough experience.

If Kaise and the person receiving the message say the same thing at the same time, you know there’s a reason for that.

After confirming him, Lennok slowly turned his back and murmured.

“It’s too late to catch up and hunt him now.”

deafening silence.

But Lennok didn’t care and continued.

“With this, your wish may not come true for the time being.”

At that moment, a bright white flash flashed from one corner of Lennok’s field of vision.

Wedge love!!

One step beyond the gap in which humans perceive and respond to external stimuli.

But Lennok didn’t try to perceive, judge, or react to the flash.

The moment something moves at a speed higher than the limit within the sensory sphere that has been expanded through magical power detection, the blinking technique is automatically established.

As it was, Lennok’s body moved one step to the side and narrowly avoided the attack.

The flash of light that passed by the nape of the neck shattered the sky of the church and exploded a huge ring of light.

Kwaaaaang!!

A white flash of light spread out in a cone, dispersing the mist and capturing the clear sky.

A manifestation of power that completely evaporated the upper floors of the cathedral building in an instant.

However, instead of being surprised by that fact, Lennok looked back at the dispersing shape of magical power and said,

“I said I would teach you how to use your mind to move your body.”

Before I knew it, someone was standing in the spot where the flash of white light had burst out.

She was wearing a frayed apparel with her white hair flying carelessly. The spearhead in his hand was half twisted and bent.

“But even if your heart doesn’t reach it, if you know it in advance, you can react somehow. That is the privilege given to superhumans who use magical powers.”

Lennox smiled at the man.

“That evasive action. Did it look good to you?”

“… … It was good enough.”

The innocence raised his head and smiled gloomily.

“It was so good, I wanted to kill it on the spot.”

“… … .”

“You know my secret wish, but you choose to ruin it right in front of me… … . Do you know how much pain that brings me?”

The innocence that stumbled out muttered.

“I was persevering, thinking that I just had to hold on a little longer… … . It is all over.”

Clap!!

Innocence, who had fixed the slightly bent spear, stood in front of Lennok’s nose at some point.

The white eyes hidden under the white hair were stained with madness that could no longer be hidden.

“Now, I can’t stand it any longer.”

“half!!”

Felix, who jumped into the explosion from the cathedral, opened his mouth wide after confirming the innocence of confronting Lennok.

“Ah, Azlan-sama… … !! Where the hell have you been doing all this time!!”

It was Lennok, not innocence, who answered that.

“I was looking for an opportunity to hunt down my past self.”

“Sah, hunting? No, more than that, didn’t Azlan-sama also participate in that operation before?!!”

Felix stuttered.

“How come you didn’t tell us about it in advance… … !!”

“It is natural. If you know that fact, you will be able to quickly guess the purpose of the innocence yourself.”

Lennok explained without averting his innocent eyes.

“How can I explain to others that a battle hero, a war hero, and an 8th-level superpower are trying to alleviate madness by taking their own bodies?”

“… … .”

“I knew that while this space was infinitely close to the real past, it wasn’t real after all. That’s why innocence… … .”

Lennok said confidently.

“I was thinking of stealing and replacing parts of my past self.”

* * *

At Lennok’s shocking remark, the shattered cathedral fell silent.

Felix staring at innocence with an expression of disbelief, and Illya with a somewhat calm expression.

Even the appearance of innocence with a bowed head.

“Considering that Innocence himself has difficulty controlling basic urges or excitement, he must have been targeting the pituitary gland, which is in charge of endocrine hormones.”

Only Lennok’s voice broke the silence.

“It is located deep inside the brain, but since it is relatively small, it should be able to be removed without much damage with innocent skill. Because it is your own body, there is no reason to worry about side effects or recoil. No, rather… … .”

It must have been virtually the only solution for Innocence, who had grown so high that he reached the pinnacle.

The body, which transcends the hierarchy and becomes whole, cannot accept any variable or sense of heterogeneity other than itself.

“Stolen body parts from my past self and replaced them… … .”

Understanding what Lennok was talking about, Felix gripped the hammer firmly.

“Is that really possible?”

“Perhaps Innocence knew what was going on in this closed area. You must also be aware that there is no problem in changing body parts in this way.”

Lennok went on to explain.

“That is because this space is not a real timeline of the past, nor is it simply an illusion or fragment of memory.”

“… … .”

“This space-time separated by the power of Kaise is a part of the realm of space-time that is infinitely close to the real one. Decades ago, he really succeeded in locating a specific time zone in the world and fixing it in this zone.”

Illya, who had been silently staring at her innocence, bit her lip and said.

“Actually, I saw Azlan-sama from the past on the way to the power plant.”

“… … .”

“At the same time, I could guess why Azlan accepted this mission. But I can’t believe that such a secret is hidden… … .”

If you think about it, unlike Felix, Illya didn’t seem to expect much help from the innocence from the beginning, despite Lennok’s words.

I thought there was a change of heart, but was it because I had already witnessed who innocent was aiming for?

“Why did the Central Council only rush to hide and conceal this fact?”

“Isn’t it understandable that it’s rather a miracle like this?”

“yes?”

“Kaise was a rare genius, and even in that era, few researchers reached the same level. That is true even now, decades later.”

Lennox smiled at Illya’s surprised expression.

“I wouldn’t have been able to continue my research or develop it in a different direction. It was all there was to preserve it here.”

The magical power of reverse heaven that can rewind time. Strong and capable colleagues who were by his side.

In the midst of a great storm of war, the monsters of the city are working with all their heart and soul for a single project.

Even the self-proclaimed Alkaid who was conducting the project with Kaise.

It is a piece of miracle created by combining talent and intelligence that cannot be easily gathered together.

From the standpoint of the city government, it is natural to try to maintain the original somehow, rather than touch it and damage it or lose it.

Unless there is a researcher with genius talent that surpasses Kaise.

‘Right. Perhaps, personally inspecting an event such as the fair in the Senate itself… … .’

It might have been an attempt to find talent who could touch the secrets left in the closed area.

It was something that had to be confirmed by joining the Central Council’s Technical Advisory Committee as Evan Bylon.

“Ever since the prohibition law was lifted, I have been looking for strong people who remain in my memory for a long time.”

Innocent, who had been silent for a long time, spoke in a calm voice.

“I believed that to calm the boiling heat, I would have to fight them face-to-face. But it wasn’t.”

“… … .”

“No matter what I do, the fight and the thirst for blood that exist within me are getting stronger and stronger, and they are divination from my very foundation. They are invading reason and going crazy.”

It is hard to believe that it belongs to an unmanned person who has been with us even inside the closed area, and the tone is shaking and unstable.

Even though such cracks had already spread in his mind and body, did he forcibly hide them and assume peace?

Innocent Claude Azlan had been aware for a long time that he had a problem with his mind.

In order to solve that problem, at the same time as the decree was released, she continued her outside activities, and even though she was dealing with strong people like Maya Lenslit.

Realizing that even that could not be the answer, he was thinking of heading to the closed area as a last resort.

In order to take away the body of the past self that was fine, take it and return to its original state.

“What do you want?”

Innocent asked.

“As you can see, I don’t have any energy left to continue the operation. I have no intention of doing that.”

“… … .”

“I’m sorry I dragged you all in, but if you run away now, somehow your life will be saved.”

Grabbing the bent spear pole, he nodded quietly.

“Go. don’t look back twice Before I go completely crazy and lay waste to you.”

“No, there is a way.”

Lennok met his gaze at that innocence.

“He helps us get back into the particle power plant.”

“… … what?”

“If you just lost track of my advice and Kaise’s warnings, he’ll never stray from the vicinity of the power plant. Do you still not know what this means?”

Looking at the silent innocence, Lennok continued.

“It means that your past self, who abandoned even the strategy and searched for you, will be able to pinpoint its location in this area for the first time.”

“… … .”

“Nothing has changed. You just need to help us get into the particle power plant and meet Kaise again.”

“From the beginning… … .”

He muttered innocence as if in agony.

“From the beginning, did you intend to use me like this?”

By making his past innocence run away, Lennok prevented his present innocence from serving its immediate purpose, and set up a plan that forced him to head for the power plant.

Innocence was asking if the last words of advice he gave to his past self were the words he threw after taking all of that into consideration.

“I don’t know what the hell you mean. Who was it that stood in the role of directing the operation and abandoned us to pursue its own purpose?”

Lennok let out a cold sneer.

“I have no intention of reprimanding you here. I am just offering a compromise that will benefit us all.”

“… … .”

“Only help us get inside the power plant. After that, you decide whether or not to find your substitute.”

“… … Who do you have to deal with?”

Sensing that the answer was in fact a kind of affirmation, Lennok laughed.

“You will have to deal with Madrid Onion. can you do it?”
