Genius Wizard Who Eats Medicine Chapter 679

oldest lineage (1)

The basement is so deep that you can’t even guess how far you’ve come down.

A dark corridor reached only after riding a cramped elevator and passing through hundreds of layers of security and barriers using the authority of a senator.

Senator Raysen Azamaha.

A criminal who was arrested after stealing the Central Council’s slush funds, and a prison where a being who was deviant from being human was encroached on by the power of foreign media.

Only the unknown tree trunks that filled the hallway that stretched out before my eyes proved that all the circumstances Mayer had said were true.

“… … .”

A skinny, twisted tree trunk.

A strange existence that burrows into corridors and greedily eats even dim light sources.

A gesture of burrowing between the alloys on the walls where nourishment did not exist, squirming faintly and trying to suck in even the tiniest bit of something.

Lennok’s eyes narrowed as he silently looked in the direction the tree trunk had branched out.

“According to the instructions we received in advance, Reisen will be waiting at the end of the hallway.”

said Mayer, gently kneading the nape of her neck.

“Looking at the reports so far, the time for conversation and the time for intelligence to return are different. That’s why they say it’s difficult to communicate unless those two time zones overlap.”

“… … .”

“Since there is no way that the chairman is unaware of this fact, I think he ended the meeting with the assumption of a time zone in order to send you here… … He is a very thorough person.”

be a thorough person

The words were very close to Mayer’s personal feelings, but Lennok agreed to a certain extent.

The huge tree trunk that surrounds this hallway and the investments made to preserve it now in this cellar.

And the attitude of not saying a word until Lennok was ready, even though he was being briefed on the whole thing.

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

“Whoa, that’s hot… … .”

Mayer shook his head helplessly, sweating.

“It’s underground, so I feel like the ventilation isn’t good… … It’s a place where you lose your energy in many ways.”

Lennok looked at Mayer and asked.

“You look tired even without it.”

“I have so many things to deal with these days.”

Mayer, who wiped away the cold sweat, answered.

“I thought I would be more free after entering the Senate, but it’s the complete opposite. 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’s probably why the story of death from overwork coming out of his mouth doesn’t sound like a joke.

“I can even send you an elixir if needed.”

“I am grateful, but I decline.”

Mayer smiled and waved his hand.

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

“… … .”

After all, there’s no way Mayer can’t get medicine because he lacks money or connections.

He must have known that if he abused the elixir as an old man, the backlash would come severely.

Lennok thought about that for a moment, then took out a small business card from his pocket and held it up.

“This?”

“Between the hidden roads of Area 55, there lives a pharmacist called Yakseon.”

“… … ”

“Due to circumstances, I can’t introduce myself, but it wouldn’t be a bad idea to visit at least once.”

Yaksun Janusica Greenway.

He is a pharmacist who has reached level 7, and an old man who has raised his skills to Geass and obtained unapproachable pharmaceutical abilities.

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

However, he is living in seclusion in a remote place due to the restriction of geas, which is that he forgets the memory of the patient he treated.

Lennok also deals with Gias to some extent, and was looking for a way to heal and subdue Janushka Greenway.

The situation is that the drug ship has time as long as it has dangerous geas.

I don’t think she will remember Lennok, but as long as she introduces me to Mayer, that’s fine.

Mayer accepted the business card from Lennok with a strange look on his face.

“If it’s the pharmacist you recommend, there’s no need to ask about your skills. I’ll see you right away as soon as the sun rises tomorrow.”

“no.”

Lennok shook his head.

“I’d better go see him right now.”

“what? what the hell is that… … .”

Mayer replied casually, then realized Lennok’s intentions and hardened his face.

“… … Right. Have I stepped into a place where I shouldn’t be?”

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

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

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

Tsutsuchun… … !!

As if the flames and filler of the tobacco are being sucked out, they are absorbed by the roots of trees and disappear.

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

“Instead of burning, it is a power that absorbs and absorbs even the heat.”

“… … .”

“At this level of absorption, there is a risk that even breathing, nutrition, and mana floating in the air beyond the contact area will be taken away.”

Lennok nodded.

“I think there will be at least an artifact for self-defense, but… … There is no need to take unnecessary risks.”

From the moment he saw the tree trunks stretching across the corridor, Lennok had a rough idea of ​​what Reisen was encroaching on.

Since the Central Council knows that, it must have invested such a huge amount of security and investment to bury Reisen deep underground.

Mayer may also have some means to protect himself, but this kind of environment itself eats away his energy.

There was no reason to risk a senator who now favored Lennok in the House of Representatives.

Mayer also understood Lennok’s intentions and nodded immediately.

“I understand. If you’re going to say that, it’s certainly not a lie.”

The appearance of meekly accepting Lennok’s advice without any additional comments.

In fact, did he think that it was right to completely follow the judgment as long as the expert who reached the peak in this field was with him?

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

“However, even if it’s not me, it’s better to attach at least one guide to show you around this place… … .”

“it’s okay.”

As Lennok said, he quietly gazed at the endless dark hallway.

“Because it seems that the other side has already recognized me.”

* * *

After sending Mayer up through the elevator, I slowly walk down the hallway alone.

The sound of wriggling tree trunks and the tapping of canes echoes throughout the corridor.

The light from the newly opened tobacco was the only light source to illuminate the dark hallway.

Square, square, square… … !!

A sign of the tree trunks wriggling and gathering around the light of the tobacco in Lennok’s mouth.

The living tree trunks are staggering uncontrollably at the magic of Lenok seeping through the tobacco smoke.

Even when he crept towards Lennok, he was blocked by an invisible shield, and he hesitated and then retreated repeatedly.

Kigigg, Kigiggeek!!

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

The surface of the hallway was so densely covered that even underfoot one could not see it.

By the time the corridor finally turns into the shape of a wilting old tree. On the other side of the open hill, Lennok spotted a tree.

“… … .”

The size of the tree is not that big, considering that it turned over and swallowed the entire tens of meters long corridor.

several meters in height. The thickness is the size of a couple of human torsos overlapping each other.

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

Chick, chick… … !!

Just standing in front of a tree feels like your throat is burning and moisture and nutrients are being sucked out.

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

Even now, the disquieting will to pierce through the shield and covet his magical power is clearly visible without hiding it.

“I heard you wanted to meet me.”

Lennok looked at the silently wriggling tree and asked.

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

At that moment, the trunk of the tree wriggled, and the branches hanging over the head swayed wildly.

Dark red fruits began to grow between the branches twisted as if to squeeze out the energy inside them.

Kudo deuk!!

The size of the fruit grows little by little, the moment it changes to a size slightly larger than a fist.

Lennok realized that it was not a nut, but the shape of a newborn baby.

“… … .”

While Lennok shuts up at the unimaginable sight, a baby born from a tree branch grows rapidly.

From boys to young people, from young people to adults. from old age to old age.

The fruit of the tree, which had turned into an old man, dropped the old man’s body on the spot as if to cut it off.

Iron flip!!

The naked old man, whose whole body was drenched in an unknown liquid, wriggled and opened his eyes.

“ah… … .”

Lennok looked at the figure in silence, then asked incredulously.

“This is what it means that there is a separate time for conversation and a time to recover your mind.”

“… … .”

“Must we have to construct a completely new human body in order to communicate?”

The main body was completely engulfed by the power of the open sea, and it is an existence that expresses its intentions by making the fruit of a tree into a human body.

Is this the end of Reisen Azamaha, a senator who was once called the trumpeter of the city council?

I thought it would have escaped human form long ago, but this is beyond my imagination.

It’s not at the level beyond human, it’s a strange type that seems to have been distorted and diverged from the species lineage and expression itself.

Lennok immediately understood why the Central Council had kept Reisen alive and kept like this instead of disposing of it right away.

Being alive and twisted by accepting the power of the open sea to this extent would help to explore the secrets of the outer world in some way.

To some extent, the chairman expected that from Lennok and helped him meet Reisen.

I make eye contact with the naked old man who collapsed with his head down.

Lennok asked after meeting Reisen’s eyes, which were enveloped in a hazy mist.

“How does it feel to be a tree that was nourished by civilization?”

Extinct Acrotrinier.

A foreign press that spreads its roots and grows into an unfathomable civilization on the other side of the open sea, and eventually becomes a part of the ending.

Warlock Craig Tillian succeeded in summoning a part of the incarnation by necromantic with the help of the Church.

And if Reisen, who held hands with Craig, was engulfed by the power of the open sea, it would be impossible unless it was the power of extinction.

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

From the moment he heard the story of Reisen’s end from the chairman, Lennok had guessed about the existence of the Extinction.

“The ability of the Central Council is beyond imagination. I never thought I would lock up the encroachment of foreign powers underground in the city and isolate them… … .”

Lennox laughed and shook his head.

“It wouldn’t be strange if I made even the slightest mistake and more than tens of thousands of people were killed, but were you confident enough to handle it?”

As if in response to those words, the old man slowly raised his blurry gaze.

A dry, crackling voice leaked from his throat.

“I haven’t slept in decades… … .”

“… … .”

“I stay up all night with my eyes open, watching them float in space forever… … me, i… … I am… … I didn’t want this… … .”

Although a considerable amount of time has passed since the death of the warlock Craig Tillian and the subjugation of the incarnation of extinction.

Even if you calculate the time accurately, the time of decades does not make sense.

Even more so when you consider that the power of extinction that Reisen was encroached upon was only discovered relatively recently.

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

“The feeling of time floating in space with the apocalypse on the other side of the open sea must be far different from what humans feel.”

Lennok replied.

“In that amount of time, it wouldn’t be strange if your mind completely wears out… … Rather, it is surprising that he has not forgotten the language yet.”

“The church, the baptism of the church… … I received it at a diplomatic event… … there was… … .”

Reisen stammered and answered with difficulty.

It wasn’t speaking with human vocal cords vibrating, but an irregular tone as if the sound of tree nuts cracking was replaced with language.

But even in the midst of that, Reisen was desperately trying to talk to Lennok.

“Wait, while reciting the sutras… … Praise, worship, so-so… … .”

“You kept your spirits by reciting the doctrines of the Church?”

While Lennok questioned that, deep down he understood that fact to a certain extent.

There may be some who don’t admit it, but the Church is one of the experts who have the most accurate awareness of the Dark Sea.

They are the ones who can handle and manipulate their power in the realm of mutual benefit, even though they are abusing fanaticism in worship and praise, and human sacrifice.

No, maybe it’s only possible to use that way.

“Jujujujuju, kill me.”

“what?”

“Oh, oh oh, I can’t stand it for long… … I can’t anymore… … .”

snap!!

Reisen, who touched Lennok’s shield with both hands, muttered blankly.

Now, it seems that even the pronunciation is blurred and leaks out, as if the voice cannot be maintained for a long time.

“Ji, it can’t be done without support money. His consciousness was focused on the oldest lineage, but now… … !!!”

The old man’s body splits open on the spot, and the muscles and bones are crushed beneath the skin, melting like jellyfish.

The cry of Reisen, who looked at Lennok with bloodshot eyes and begged desperately.

“You can do it… … You did it… … !!!”

“… … ”

“no… … come back… … Dodo is coming back aaaaaa!!!”

Food Deok!!

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

In place of Reisen’s body and consciousness that had disappeared, something that had returned to this place seemed to be staring at Lennok.

[…] … .]

It is not a complex and ferocious emotion such as murderous intent or hostility.

As if looking at very tasty prey, the intention of gluttony as if the invisible mouth was dripping.

Encroached by the power of extinction, Reisen cannot even become a human.

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

Can we call this a tree? The moment Lennok shook his head with a wry smile.

A human face popped out from between the tree stumps, smiling brightly at Lennok.

[looks delicious.]

Kiriririk!!

Hundreds of tree trunks covering all sides of the huge cellar coiled around Lennok and began spinning wildly.

* * *

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

Hundreds of people who watched the scene through the broadcasting screen jumped up from their seats.

“Rain, damn it… … !!”

“Reisen Azamaha is trying to devour the dog!!”

“Activate the spell barrier. Get ready to administer the drug!”

“Plant Growth Inhibitor Injection!!”

“Complete construction of 86 types of conceptual sorcery and curses!”

The shamans gathered in the middle of the huge magic circle raised their strength from all sides.

Researchers in gowns run around busily and operate the drug delivery device.

Right after that, huge arrows protruded from all over the basement and got stuck between the tree trunks of the giant tree.

Push!! Push!!

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

The shamans who were waiting to watch over Reisen poured dozens of spells and curses as if they had been waiting.

With scholars who have worked in Greenbelt and studied various plants and longevity species.

A collaboration between Bunren, a shaman unit under the direct control of the city council that specializes in suppressing and restraining magical power receptors.

But even so, the tree trunks thrashed like mad in the cellar did not stop.

As if getting more excited by the pouring spells and drugs, he was just swinging the tree trunk like a wave.

The barrier made of metal and insulator is absorbed and sucked out, and the space in the sealed basement shrinks.

Suddenly, red warning lights flashed everywhere, illuminating the pale scholars and shamans.

“Wrong. I’m not listening at all!!”

“I plan to completely devour the 8th level archmage. I’ve already turned the output all the way up!!”

“I didn’t even have a clue… … Were you aiming for this from the beginning!!”

The adsorbing power of a single thin tree trunk is enough to suck up the moisture of a living human.

If hundreds of such tree trunks massaged a person at the same time, it wouldn’t be strange if even the mana and soul were sucked out as food.

Even more so, what would happen if the target was an 8th level wizard with tremendous magical power?

The team leader, who intuited the worst situation, immediately put his hand on the emergency contact network.

“Cut off power work and evacuate. From now on, I will declare a state of emergency and ask for help from the top.”

“Unless it is a special force that transcends the hierarchy, it is impossible to deal with it. If it’s not an innocent reinforcement… … !!”

Duduk!!

At that moment, the movement of the tree, which had been restlessly moving around and kneading Lennok, stopped abruptly.

As if it had been burned by a hot fire, it was so startled that it was not enough to take my hand away, and it started going wild out of control.

[…] … !!!]

As if an inaudible loud scream resounded, the tip of the tree trunk that was running wildly writhed and exploded on the spot.

Don’t fall out!!!

The magic power of electricity seeping through the tree trunks bursts cells and cuts tissue bonds.

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

[Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!]

After each one let out a desperate scream and shout, they disappeared.

Immediately after, the tree trunks surrounding Lennok snapped off on the spot, turning into a handful of ashes.

The cellar, which had been filled with huge tree trunks, had been thoroughly cleaned, leaving only a small, withered tree.

In front of the small seedling left behind, a wizard with a staff stood with an expressionless face.

Scholars who watched the scene grabbed the screen with dazed faces.

“… … I decided I couldn’t eat it and cut off the root myself.”

“Even if self-sustenance is impossible for a while, you decided that you should stop here?”

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

“It won’t happen for a while, so it’s best not to provoke it.”

Lennok, who disappeared from the other side of the screen, was standing next to the scholars.

“The growth suppression you guys were originally trying to do was just replaced with my magical power.”

“Whoa!!”

“Oh, since when!!”

The terrified scholars fall behind their chairs and back down.

Lennok looked at it expressionlessly, then turned around without hesitation.

“It’s the oldest lineage… … .”

Reisen only mentioned that keyword, but didn’t tell me what to do.

Lennok already had the means to investigate the meaning of the words.

“… … .”

The little shriveled wood in Lennok’s hand was watched with frightened eyes by the shamans.
