Genius Wizard Takes Medicine - Chapter 73



Only Krnovel

A dark basement.

Rusty water dripping from the ceiling, a dingy corner of the room where the wind blew and creaked the hinges.

Inside, Lennok and Hina were staring blankly at a man who was chained up and groaning.

“What about Eveline?”

“……Are you calling the team leader like a friend? Your liver is too big.”

Hina shook her head in embarrassment.

“By now you must be busy playing head-to-head tug-of-war with the city council. It’s reducing our authority. Even so, if the budget is cut, the answer will be lost.”

“Is that part not agreed upon in advance? That doesn’t make sense.”

“Because even a mere bastard will go mad after realizing that his position is dangerous.”

To sum up, does it mean that Reisen, who realized that the agent’s movements were suspicious, is struggling to arbitrarily reduce the agent’s budget?

Hina’s remarks were a little more exaggerated than Lennok’s, but it was enough to understand that she had some kind of grudge against Reisen.

Instead of delving into the details of the situation, Lennok immediately turned his gaze to the landscape in front of him.

“So, what is that friend going to do now?”

An operation that took place at the Trade Center.

Sitting there is a shock-type mage that Lennok himself captured at the time.

I stunned him, handed him over to the agent, and forgot about it, but he didn’t seem to kill him yet.

“All preparations for the operation are complete. All that remains is to assemble the team members hired by us to the operation site.”

Hina calmly replied.

“But, I just want to get notarized by that wizard one last time.”

“This requires cross-validation.”

“yes. So far, I’ve beaten various interrogations, but my mental barrier is pretty solid, probably because I’m a wizard with some skill. There won’t be a big problem if you kill it right away… but I think it’d be better to relieve the awkwardness as much as possible before going.”

“hmm…..”

It is not that the mindset is incomprehensible.

Lennok was quite familiar with the way he handled work, wanting to leave no doubts while carrying out a life-threatening task.

However, a woman named Hina Oneil seems to be openly expressing what she thinks of Lennok, so I laughed a lot.

He responded by getting up from his chair.

“good. It’s only going to go through this once.”

“……..yes?”

The hounds of the city government would have well over a dozen torture technicians under their command, but does it make sense that one level 4 wizard couldn’t open his mouth?

Hina now suspects that Lennok is colluding with a terrorist organization because of the fact that he kept the wizard alive.

In a way to see if he can directly interrogate that mage or not.

He slowly raised his mana and looked down at her.

The deep blue eyes that pierced the dark room and scanned her entire body.

“Ibelin, who hired me directly, wouldn’t do something like this, so this must mean that it’s their own opinion. I can understand.”

“What do you mean, well…”

“But if you doubt me one more time, the deal is over.”

Of course, the reason Lennok agreed to collaborate with the agent was to borrow their power to find Craig.

However, the reason Lennok was ostensibly cooperating with Ibelin was that he owed her his life in part. Not for the grandiose organization of agents.

If Hina Oneil had been properly aware of Lennok’s superficial circumstances, she would not have done this.

Considering her ignorance, I move once as she intended.

That was all.

Lennok turned his head after confirming that Hina was avoiding her gaze with a clearly withered expression.

Taking out a cigarette, I kick open the door of the alcove and step inside.

Quaang!!

I blindfolded her and tied her limbs to the chair, but that doesn’t mean I can’t hear the noise.

Hearing the jarring sound, the magician’s movements changed violently, but there was no resistance.

Lennok immediately removed the blindfold from the sorcerer’s eyes and met his gaze.

After blinking his eyes a few times, he looked around, and then the sorcerer, recognizing Lennok, frowned weakly.

“…..Damn it, is it you again?”

“Long time no see.”

“Fuck, I thought you would kill me quickly, but what are you dragging around like this? do it right.”

Lennok burst into a small laugh at the tone that was no different from before.

The indifference that feels like it’s none of your business.

However, the heart that lives and breathes here is unmistakably his own.

Even in this situation where he is driven to a dead end, it is undoubtedly his innate temperament that allows him to maintain his composure.

Perhaps I would have become a much better mage if I had met him somewhere else.

So Lennok smiled and told him.

“Hey, I don’t know how that sounds… but I don’t really hate an insensitive guy like you.”

“…… What bullshit?”

“Then let’s go comfortably. When I can easily kill you.”

No matter how much the situation changes and blurs, Lennok never loses sight of the essence of the matter.

Tied up in front of his eyes, this mage is just a member of a terrorist organization called Falchion.

They must have killed dozens of innocent people, and they must have plundered, robbed, and destroyed them without incident.

Lennok’s conscience is not thick enough to feel guilty or responsible for such an idiot.

“Since before, what have you been doing… Ugh!!!”

Kwaaaaang!!

No further answer was needed.

I spread the shock magic from the bottom up and hit it as it was.

The magician’s body flew like a piece of paper and was splattered with blood as it slammed into the wall.

“Keah, kuhuhh!!”

Looking down at the wildly gasping wizard, Lennok lazily lit a cigarette.

“Tell me where your boss is hiding. Where is Ordis in Zaun?”

“Kuh, keuhuhh…”

The wizard burst into a sullen laugh and spat.

“좆까, 이 새끼야.”

Kwaaaaang!!

With those words, the wizard rushed at Lennok with a burst of magic all at once, as if it were a lie that he had been lethargic until now.

Until now, he had been saving his mana just in case, but the moment he confirmed Lennok’s attitude, he completely gave up the possibility of surviving.

It was an extremely inefficient decision for a wizard who couldn’t wait for an opportunity while saving his numbers until the end.

But Lennok liked the spirit in its own way.

[Helix Wind]

Woo support!!

Formless whirlwinds gathered in the invisible air pierced the wizard’s abdomen in an instant.

The flesh twists inward in a spiral, squeezing out the intestines and blood.

Although the wizard screamed inaudibly, he did not give up and somehow reached out his hand towards Lennok.

The shadow that emerged from the darkness was quicker to snatch that thin forearm.

Quaang!

“Kaaaak…!!”

The figure of the magician hanging in the air in a grotesque posture with one arm raised was covered in blood in the blink of an eye.

“I will ask you one last time.”

Lennok asked.

“Zaun Ordis. where are you.”

“Heh, hehe…!! Kill!!”

“……”

What we need to see is not the wizard’s cynical reply, but those eyes desperately trying to accept death.

Lennok nodded his head only after confirming that the strong determination in his gaze was not a lie.

This is certain.

These wizards have no idea that the cryptographic keys they stole are fake.

There’s nothing wrong with the operation.

He exchanged glances with Hina and sighed.

“Whoa… yes.”

ineffective persistence.

But Lennok understood his decision.

He doesn’t know what kind of life the wizard in front of him has lived.

The magician’s strong spirit, cheerfulness, and sincerity in not losing his attitude towards life even in the face of death may be possible because he belonged to a terrorist organization.

Although Lennok could accept that there was such a life and such a value.

I had no intention of being respected.

Woooo!!

He raised his mana to the limit and shoved it into the drooping wizard’s mouth.

As the powerful stems of magical power that had not lost their roots penetrated deeply into the wizard’s body, his blood-stained face trembled.

It seized the source of the magical power flowing through its body and twisted it.

Indeed, it’s been a long time since I’ve used magic interference.

It is also an interference applied when two streams are in contact at the same time.

The powerful mana manipulation ability he had raised through steady research and the far-out mana response reacted at the same time, instantly putting all the mana possessed by a wizard into Lennok’s hands.

If you think about it in theory, it is practically the same as holding a person’s entire existence in your hands.

Aside from the growth of Lennok’s magic, his magic manipulation ability gradually expands toward a state that he himself cannot understand.

A vague conviction that you can distinguish what you can and cannot do. And a faint belief that there are more and more things that can be done.

The dominance that had been growing based on the talent of Cheongo was now entangled with the roots of wizards of a similar level to him.

“Cerger, uhm…”

The magical power to exist as a wizard was completely captured.

It’s probably the feeling of being in someone’s hands from head to toe.

The wizard’s face widened his eyes, unable to believe what had happened to him.

Lennok said quietly, looking down at the look on Lennok’s face as he searched for it even as it was out of focus.

“Tell me if you’ve lied to me since you entered this room.”

“……”

“right now.”

momentary silence.

And the flame of life that burns wide the moment death is on the threshold.

The wizard looked up at Lennok’s face with a clearer gaze than ever before, and nodded slowly.

“This was… magic.”

“……”

“Ah, Master…”

Lennok closed his eyes.

Kwajik!!

The shadow shakes violently, and another life dies in Lennok’s hands.

After trimming the hem of his coat, Lennok said to Hina as he left the room.

“The next contact will be made after the rendezvous point has been decided.”

“….of course.”
