Genius Wizard Who Eats Medicine Chapter 685

oldest lineage (7)

Although the Baegon Lennok faced was arrogant and violent, his talent was an excellent wizard.

The more talented a wizard is, the more rational intuition that sees everything objectively.

In that sense, it is strange that Baegon believed himself to be the King’s apprentice without any circumstance.

On the contrary, it is also true that Ming has no reason to deny Baygon and lie.

‘The other side of death. gap between fantasy and reality. mission and tools.’

If you guess what Myung muttered while he was unconscious, you can guess the truth a little bit.

If, as Ermong said, in the process of obtaining qualifications and preparing for Myeong, if a major mental problem occurred.

If it’s at the level where you can’t remember what you said or did due to the shock or reaction that caused your personality to separate.

If the existence of Ming cannot be defined as a single person, then we can understand what Baegon has shown so far.

[You have a sharp point. It’s all the more so in that it wasn’t very wrong.]

However, Myung laughed silently at Lennok’s question.

[But maybe not the way you think. The basis of my power is fundamentally different from your talent.]

“… … different?”

[Everything is different. Unwanted bloodline spells, and even this cursed black magic.]

Are you saying that you don’t value this transcendent power and black magic that even feels great?

However, Myung seemed to have no hesitation in undermining his power without hesitation.

[It’s not me, it’s a miracle created by twisting the curses and sacrifices I’ve shouldered. It’s okay if you don’t care too much.]

“… … .”

Lennok’s guess wasn’t completely wrong, but on the contrary, wasn’t it completely correct?

Ming did not bother to deny that he was not one person, but on the contrary expressed doubts about the separateness of his personality.

That’s an answer closer to explaining the source of that power and the way it exists, rather than the consciousness or subject of name.

If so-

“Is it because the way that lineage exists is also related to the existence of foreign gods?”

[…] … .]

“The oldest mage family with the symbol of extinction… … Where did that start?”

Myeong did not immediately answer the question.

Instead, he slowly retrieved the darkness that had withdrawn Baegon’s existence and pushed it into the coffin.

With the withdrawal of will, the grip of the dark giant slowly loses its form and disappears in the darkness.

Hundreds of chains stretched into the coffin are folded and rotated.

[It’s not difficult to reveal the old history and family’s shame, but… … .]

Only the sound of the submerged chains echoed quietly over Myung’s voice.

[If the outside world is intertwined, it becomes troublesome to explain in writing. You must have already seen and returned from Machine City?]

“… … what?”

[Challenging transcendence is not a blessing or a privilege. Rather, it is a bond that is close to a curse.]

Myung said to the silent Lennok.

[That’s why sometimes, even if it’s forced, it’s necessary to hold it for a while.]

“… … .”

[I have succeeded in leaving a little room, but there are others who have not.]

For a moment, I felt a chilly cynicism permeate Myung’s tone.

[The renegades who forget the essence and dream of miracles close to corruption… … We may always look back and laugh at ourselves.]

Even though he obtained the qualification to challenge the ascension, he deliberately delayed it.

And the fact that there are renegades who can’t stop because they can’t do it.

Even though it seems difficult to even have a conversation, Myung is trying to say something that can be explained as simply as possible.

It must be because of the existence of that huge black crown made by the power of extinction that Baegon opened.

It is because the power of the black crown, which is directly related to the oldest lineage, is forcibly holding the consciousness of Ming, which cannot exist here.

However, even with the power of the black crown, Ming’s will can’t be held for a long time, and that will begins to fade.

Myung also seemed to notice it and mocked himself.

[okay… … It’s just a moment’s worth of leisure. Even this moment was not planned.]

“… … .”

Rather than losing contact, it seemed as if the will of the name itself was gradually faltering.

A tired voice, as if being in this place was getting harder little by little.

[I’ve put a word in Highrea, so check it out… … .]

“… … okay.”

Until just now, Myung couldn’t tell whether this place was real or the other side of consciousness.

Even so, they had conversations and answered questions, and were even aware of the fact that Lennok had returned from Machine City.

It is unavoidable to admire the transcendent spirit that is clearly revealed even without expressing it.

[soon… … It was always like that.]

On the other side of the darkness, Myung felt as if he was laughing quietly.

[That’s why I need you, not me.]

With those words, the darkness burning inside the black coffin trembled dangerously.

The moment my voice reached the point where I couldn’t hear it anymore because it was completely muffled.

At the same time as the deafening silence, the darkness completely dissipated.

Faaaa!!

The black coffin containing Ming’s will was shattered on the spot.

The black, black giant tree that hung over my head convulsed from the root and withered and shrunk.

It turned into a handful of powder and collapsed on the spot.

Woooooo!!!

At the same time as the extinction of the giant tree that supported the underground cavity area, the earth’s axis shakes like crazy.

“ha… … You somehow survived today.”

Ermong slumped down in his place with a face that looked as if he was ten years older.

“… … It’s a little out of shape to ask now, but you’re not thinking of killing me yet, are you?”

The appearance of Ermong, who was quick to notice and prepare to run away. Lennox smiled at Ermong and looked away.

“I’ll save you. Take a guy named Glenn and get out of here.”

“Yes, thank you. But why did he suddenly change his mind… … ?”

While walking along the collapsing underground corridor, I asked if Ermong had suddenly become curious.

Lennok responded while checking the life reaction of the surrounding area by triggering a sense of mana.

“If you have Myeong, it must be because it is useful.”

It seems certain that Ermong is acting as Pandemonium’s business now that Myeong is unable to move due to personal reasons.

It seems certain that Ermong is acting as Pandemonium’s business now that Myeong is unable to move due to personal reasons.

It’s not because Ermong is a famous black magician, it’s probably because there are more personal reasons or ties.

Even though Lennox was clearly aware of this, he had no intention of killing Ermong right here.

Hearing the answer, Ermong’s expression changed to trembling.

“… … ok Considering that you mentioned Highrea, I thought you were ready to enter Pandemonium.”

“… … .”

“Well, that’s all right. I’m not doing this because I want to anyway… … Come to think of it, why am I even replacing the scout?”

The moment Ermong grumbled, took out the jewel and threw it over his head,

The wall of the collapsing underground cavity hardened in an instant and turned into a passage leading to the ground.

“Glen!!”

Ermong shouted with one foot straddling the hardened aisle.

“If it doesn’t come out quickly, I’ll just bury it all here and go… … !!”

bang!!

At that moment, an explosion exploded above the heads of Lennoc and Ermong, pouring down dozens of people.

Dozens of Glens wriggling their arms and legs with dazed expressions, and Armand desperately swinging his fists between them.

Ermong’s expression changed to bewilderment.

“… … He, were you still fighting?”

“Cool!!”

Armand’s alter egos desperately try to shake off the pouring Glenn, but Glenn only rolls around with an expressionless face.

How he doesn’t care about a few Glenns who have been beaten up and have their mouths open and noses broken.

Unlike the Handbook Well, he didn’t even seem to want to fight here.

Rather, he just kept saying things to Armand, who kept beating him up.

“It’s not like that.”

“shut up!!”

poop!!

Glenn, who collapsed with a sunken face, said blankly.

“Moving multiple bodies at the same time is done with the senses. Your head hurts.”

“Sounds useless… … !!”

“It’s easy to give up. accept it.”

Armand resists to get away from Glenn even as he falls through the collapsing sand pit.

Ermong looked at them, sighed, and shook his head.

“Who is teaching whom… … That’s why it’s hard to take this guy and that guy around.”

“Are you teaching?”

Lennok looked down at Glenn, who was being beaten like crazy by Armand.

“To me, it’s nothing more than a punching bag, nothing less.”

“That friend has a strange mental illness.”

Ermong replied plaintively.

“If you want to use a similar ability, I tend to think it’s all myself.”

“… … .”

“So I’m trying to teach you how to accept being a hive mind or something like yourself.”

Maybe that’s why you were telling Armand that it would be easier if you gave up.

If he considered Armand as the same person, he could understand why Glenn was being beaten quietly.

However, Lennok, who was watching Armand’s movements through the collapsing sand pit, immediately lit up his eyes.

“The alter ego manipulation is much better than before. Does that bullshit work in its own way?”

“More than that, it wouldn’t be strange if all of us were buried alive among the sand if we just watched it like this… … !!”

thud!

At that moment, the sand rose rapidly from under Lennoc and Ermong’s feet, pushing the party to the ground in an instant.

A rapid updraft that travels backwards through passages tens of meters underground.

Sand dust wriggled as if it were alive, spitting out dozens of people simultaneously through the collapsed pit.

Chow!!

The images of Ermong, Glenn, and Armand who were thrown behind the completely ruined oil field facility as if they were bouncing off.

“Cool, cool!!”

Ermong, who belatedly realized the situation after seeing Lennok, who had come down lightly behind him, shook his head.

“Manipulating the sand particles one by one with magic… … Aren’t you human too? Isn’t it like sand mole mixed race or something?”

“Even if you save me, you’ll just keep talking.”

Directly manipulating sand particles with magic was something that Lennok had done without difficulty even before completing the hierarchy.

From the beginning, Lennok had never thought of dying by being buried alive in this vast desert.

“Woo-wook… … !!”

“Turn it off!!”

Perhaps it was because Lennok had forcibly pulled them up by the collar, and in the process, everyone seemed to have eaten a lot of sand.

Lennok nodded as he watched Armand and Glenn vomit and vomit sand.

“The Central Council is watching this agenda. You better move quickly.”

“Yep, that’s right. If only those friends come to their senses, it will go away quickly.”

Ermong rubbed his nose and smirked.

It seemed awkward to do such a gesture with the face of Saihan Zaun Ordis, but what if the black magician who occupied the body said he would use it like that?

Lennok looked at Ermong like that and asked.

“The oldest lineage. Those words are not the story of Myeong alone.”

“… … .”

“I guess you have a reason for that too. Isn’t it?”

Lennok, who competed in the Labyrinth with Ermong as Evan, had some idea of ​​his identity.

An ancient black magician who survived for hundreds of years with only his ritual left behind.

As far as the ceremonial art that he developed, in which he can freely change human bodies, it can be said that even Lennok acknowledged that it was a magic with a high level of perfection.

If Myeong persisted in keeping such a black magician alive, wouldn’t it be because the black magician named Ermong was also deeply entangled in the curse and lineage of Myeong?

Ermong, who secretly wiped his nose-digging hand on his pants, raised his gaze without a word.

His eyes, which had not shown any emotion until now, felt as if they were gloomyly sinking.

“well. I’ve lived my whole life not caring about such things.”

“… … .”

“I just want to kill the weak, get rid of the things that hinder me, and live freely, free from the bonds of the body.”

Ermong shrugged.

“Even if it had something to do with it, I don’t think it was necessarily because of me.”

“Ugh, ugh… … .”

Glenn, who is spitting sand, is carried by Glenn, who is fine, and Glenn, who has a sunken facial bone, picks up Glenn, who has a broken leg.

“If you’re interested in the old lineage, you’d better look for other families, not mine.”

Ermong smiled as he turned around to follow Glenn, who was looking back with blurry eyes.

“As he said, this family has already been completely crushed and there is no room left.”

“… … .”

“Let’s see. I think there were a couple more other than Myoldun and Gonggyeong… … Maybe there are more if we look for them?”

Five families with the oldest mage lineage.

Among them, besides the Ming lineage that dealt with black magic, could there have been more families known as Extermination and Honor?

“I heard that very old ancient magic is being handled by the Spell Federation. You can’t say it’s not related.”

The Order Federation of the Central Front. Does that mean that there is a high possibility that the oldest lineage belongs to the place where all the magic in the world is gathered?

Lennok nodded.

“Remember.”

It was difficult to completely trust Ermong’s memory, who had skipped hundreds of years, but it would be better than not having it.

The fragments of the extinct Acrotrinier tried to find and absorb the mana of Ming, even after abandoning the humans it had already encroached on.

Just recognizing that fact will be a valuable clue as to why the oldest bloodlines are so closely related to foreign powers.

Thinking so, Lennok looked at the back of the warlock as he walked away.

It’s easy to forget with a frivolous and light attitude, but in the first place, he has a personality close to a villain who doesn’t care about the sacrifices of others.

Even if I killed him here, I don’t feel much remorse or guilt.

I thought about killing Ermong halfway here and capturing him alive and handing him over to the council, but-

As long as they already have a foot in Pandaemonium, there is no reason to use their hands more here.

Having made that decision, Lennok erased even the vague worries that remained in a corner of his mind.

“what? What kind of chills suddenly… … .”

Ermong, who was trembling and walking faster, smiled at Lennok and turned his steps back.

The figure of the aide looking at Lenok with a disfigured appearance, sitting blankly among the sand pits.

I didn’t hear about the existence of Ming or the fragments of the extinction while fighting Glenn, so I don’t think there’s a need to match.

“… … Is everything over now?”

Looking at Armand like that, Lennok nodded.

“Roughly. Since you intend to tell the city council the whole story, could you please call for another airship?”

* * *

Inside a room filled with thousands of screens.

The ceiling and floor were filled with screens, and papers and research materials piled up like a mountain fluttered.

Crush, rustle!!

A bizarre scene where the sound from the screen replaces the silence and the light on the screen replaces the lighting in the room.

Only the shaking of the piles of paper piled up in between collapses is felt intermittently.

Woooo!!

At that moment, one of the lines scattered randomly on the floor of the room was activated.

The moment when a man walked out of the piles of paper and casually stepped on the wire with his foot.

-doctor.

The cold voice of Soryu echoed quietly in the room.

“I am listening.”

The doctor threw the wad of paper that he was carrying in both hands with difficulty and said.

thud!!

– It’s noisy around, is it okay?

“don’t mind. Because it’s nothing.”

When the doctor, sitting on top of the wad of paper he had thrown, stretched out his hand, a coffee cup was created in the air and emitted hot smoke.

“It takes time in vain to filter out the dummy data pouring in from outside the open sea. Thanks to you, the observation room is messed up.”

Instant created by realizing the coordinates of a cup, coffee powder, and hot water on the spot.

However, there was a hint of satisfaction on the doctor’s face as he tilted his glass.

“I really like the taste of this rotting brain.”

-… … .

“The combination of cheap drugs and hormone modifiers is like squeezing your brain. It would be perfect if the magic collapse line was exposed here, but… … It’s really the taste of two people eating together and then looking for both of them.”

Among the piles of paper piled up like a mountain, the doctor slumped and muttered with a hazy expression.

“It’s the same with Makina’s business, and if you uselessly spread your hands, problems will arise… … Who will be held responsible if the storage device is broken… … ”

-doctor. Where is Ermong now?

“Ermong? Why is that friend?”

-In order to infiltrate the central front, he needs a ritual before his ritual. I don’t want to cause unnecessary fuss.

“hmm… … ”

After the doctor drank all the remaining coffee, he corrected his posture and sat down.

“Tell me more.”

-I know where he is.

Soryu’s voice suddenly changed sharply.

– Is there any reason you can’t tell me?

“Let’s listen and talk.”

To the doctor’s nonchalant reply, Soryu was silent for a moment before replying.

-Jannicus Barbaria joined Blue Eyes. I gave in to the showdown with the lighthouse keeper and accepted defeat.

“… … Barbary? Are you talking about the ruler of Kaiushu?”

The wall Janicus Barbaria.

An 8th-level man with physical abilities, a tyrant who ruled the small city of Kaiushu in the Western Continent.

Even though his mind and body were weakened by a long illness, he was a Nogoe who did not shake his stature in the slightest, and even the doctor knew his name.

“I heard that the old man has a very eccentric temper, but a young lighthouse keeper subdued such an old man?”

-According to the message from the field, it seems that you completely inherited the lighthouse keeper’s abilities.

Looking at the interested doctor, Soryu spoke in a low voice.

-A magnetic field of heavenly vision was observed in her.
