Genius Magician Who Takes Medicine Chapter 778

ghost tour (4)

A sudden encounter with the priests of the Church of Guido and their absurd proposal.

However, Lennok calmly looked back at his memories before answering.

‘When was the last time you had contact with the Church?’

Come to think of it, it’s been a while since I’ve had direct contact with the church.

I met the religious leader a while ago, but in the first place, the transcendental person is not an existence that can be defined as a single concept.

To put it bluntly, it is safe to say that this is the first time that he has been involved with the church since the Amrita incident.

But it was clear that they were plotting something in the middle of the swamp.

“It must have been an intentional plan to attract demons by smelling blood.”

As Lennok said, he glanced at the corpse of the young man he had split open.

“Did you mean to make an offering to him even though he became an apostle?”

A passenger who couldn’t speak properly and vomited the paprika sandwich Lennok gave him.

When he didn’t die from the swaddling and rode on the bug’s back, Lennok realized that the young man was no ordinary human being.

I just worried about whether he was a monster who could speak human language or a monster of another category.

The priest who was standing in the lead heard the words and asked back with a look of admiration.

“You know very well about the Order of the Order. Are you also of the same doctrine?”

“Is that an important issue now?”

“yes. It is important.”

Having said that, the priest put his hands together towards Lennok and respectfully joined them together.

“If you are a believer in the doctrine, would you like to be an offering for the apostles of our school?”

“… … .”

While Lennok kept his mouth shut at the absurd suggestion, the priest calmly explained.

“It will take a sacrifice to get out of this swamp. We will remember for a long time the grace of the believers for the well-being of the church.”

“What if I’m not a believer?”

“… … If that’s the case, then we shouldn’t be afraid to ask for cooperation.”

The priest answered, taking out a sharp sword from within his bosom.

“If we make offerings to non-believers, the gods will be happy to accept our devotion.”

[These crazy organisms. Do you want to get rid of it quickly?]

Darby, who had been listening inside the robe, grumbled.

[I’m annoyed because I’m listening.]

Doesn’t that mean that he wants to be the subject of human sacrifice regardless of whether he is a member of the religious order or not?

The shameless request and the words and actions covered in fanaticism made Lennok laugh as it seemed to be the church he knew.

“It’s probably not because you have to get out of the swamp.”

Lennok said, looking at the priests surrounding him slowly in the middle of the cramped island.

“The church is not a group that hesitates to make sacrifices to solve problems. If it was simply to cross the swamp, you would have already obtained a method by making offerings among yourselves.”

“… … .”

“Nevertheless, if it is the reason to call the magic beasts and lure other people to cross the swamp… … .”

Lennok laughed.

“It must be because you have a very urgent problem to the extent that you need to offer a high-level magic user to receive strength.”

members of the church. Priests whose faith is deep enough to allow outside activities are not short of being called madmen.

Most of them don’t hesitate to sacrifice themselves to make offerings. Even so, the reason why the followers waited for other offerings instead of making offerings to each other and gaining strength to cross the swamp.

Isn’t it because there are problems that can be solved just by making offerings to the members of the church?

“Shindo.”

The priest who had been listening to Lennok smiled faintly.

“You know too much.”

“I have already said it once, but I am not a believer.”

The moment Lennok said that and raised his hand.

The head of the priest standing right next to him exploded like an explosion.

woooooong!!

Lennok shook his head with a smile, seeing the members of the church who were expressionless despite being covered in the blood of a fellow priest.

“I would like you to refrain from using such offensive titles.

” “Kill!!”

Dozens of church members and wizards clashed on a cramped island.

From all sides, the tangled weapons and the cult’s spells collided, scattering unknown flesh.

The moment the silvery-white solid lines that pierced the gap between them rippled and dug into my brain.

Papa papa papa!!!

Dozens of church members gathered their hands together as if they were dancing and took a reverent posture.

The figure of believers sitting on their knees as if praying.

However, they were not in a position to perform common rituals or spells.

Magicians who were elaborately attached to the limbs manipulated the limbs like puppets and forcibly took away the ability to control the body.

They pierce their own heart with a weapon held in both hands.

Pooh!!

“… … !!!”

The images of priests who knelt down as if praying and pierced their own hearts and died.

A series of workshops that could not even earn a little time.

Lennok, who killed all the church members on the spot, shook his hand and retrieved the broken magician.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to dig up information about why the Guido Church was here, but Lennok knew who the Church was.

It is a group of zealots who will never reveal information about the Church under severe interrogation or pressure.

Even as Lennok, all he could do was use his Mystic Eye to crush his mind in half and pick up information that was spit out in fragments.

It’s not impossible if you have enough time, but it’s a different story if you’re left alone in the middle of such a rough terrain.

“We’ll have to find a way to cross the swamp again. Should I build a boat?”

It would be possible to escape the swamp area by using the flashing technique, but if you consume the flashing charged in the papyrus here, you will have to refrain from using it while staying in the military command city.

Lennok wanted to avoid such a situation.

[If you make something like a boat out of trees grown in this demonic realm, the poison will rise soon.]

Darby answered Lennok’s self-talk from inside his robes.

[It will be full of moisture, and it will not be suitable for waterproofing, so it is not a very good choice.]

“I’ll have to climb up the tree and think about it. If you go higher, you will be able to see your surroundings in more detail.”

That moment when Lennok answered and hung the sorcerer on the tree above his head and pulled it slowly.

coo cooo… … !!

A shock that seemed to tremble the whole swampy area, and at the same time, something burst out from under the surface.

Huge enough to fill the entire field of vision. A poisonous toad the size of a house with sharp thorns embedded all over its body stares at Lennok with inorganic eyes.

[Bulging.]

A tremendous amount of mana that could be felt just by looking at Lennok.

Without being processed or circulated properly, it easily surpasses the average superman just by accumulating in the body during the time it grew up.

Seeing that the signs of other monsters disappeared as if they were washed away with the appearance of the toad, you should probably see this monster as a predator at the top of the food chain in the nearby swamps.

But instead of rushing right after seeing Lennok, Toad yawned as if he were drowsy.

[spoken.]

[Isn’t it cuter than I thought?]

“… … Aren’t words learning wrong?”

While Lennok and Darby are talking to Toad, who is more defenseless than expected.

The toad, with its jaws wide open, opened its mouth wide and swallowed the entire small island Lennok had been standing on just before.

Kwajajajak!!

The corpses of dead monsters, beasts, and priests disappear into the mouth of a toad.

Only Lennok, who had been hanging from a tree with a magic spell, remained watching the meal.

[Oops.]

At first glance, it seems that there is a difference in the inorganic eyes of the toad.

Most of the dead here were magic users, so it must feel like a very special meal to the demons.

The sight of him chewing up and swallowing several tons of dirt to eat a handful of meat, should I say it’s like a monster living in a swampy area?

While Lennok thought so and rummaged in his arms, the toad witch slowly began to approach Lennok.

damn!!

Only then did Darby, who confirmed the body of the toad revealed under the swamp, let out a strange scream.

[Ugh… … .]

“Does it still look cute?”

Under the toad’s neck, like a monkey, long limbs are running and swaying in all directions.

It’s bizarre, as if some piece of mechanical equipment that doesn’t fit is forcibly fitted and operated.

The toad moved toward Lennok, who was hanging in the air, slowly opening his mouth.

It was only then that Darby realized why the witch didn’t eat Lenok right away, and murmured.

[I thought there was no place to escape anyway, so I guess I was thinking of eating it last.]

“I tend to save delicious things until the end. It’s not like I don’t know that feeling either.”

As Lennok said, he dropped something in his arms.

“Then let’s see if we can eat this deliciously.”

beep beep… … !!

It wasn’t just the artifacts and personal firearms that he had been using that he had prepared before leaving for the military command city.

I thought about how to easily project high firepower, and what I came up with was the type of explosive that I tried in the well of the handbook.

Like the mana resonance incendiary bullets used in the great forest, explosives that compress mana in a specific way and explode are more powerful than you can imagine.

Among them, what Lennok brought out this time was a penetrating caloric bomb that thoroughly focused on internal destruction rather than diffusion.

Chii profit!!

A metal sphere the size of a fist that emits strangely hot heat.

It emits a blue magic light through the cracks and catches it as it falls from the air with a magician.

The moment when he used centrifugal force to swing the sorcerer, and the caloric bomb hanging from the end of it was accurately thrust into the toad’s throat.

Wow!!

The toad’s head exploded, and the gooey skin and eyeballs began to melt in place.

As if the instinct to eat lenok remains even after the whole head is melted, the monkey’s arm wriggles in the air with only the torso remaining.

Unable to find Lennok, who had been clinging to the Magician, the body of the Witchbeast, which had lost its power, was thrown back into the swamp.

Lennok saw him and immediately climbed up the tree and prepared to leave.

“Move quickly. Soon, other demons will come here as well.”

The monsters in the swamp, as we saw earlier, seemed to prefer the meat of the same beast rather than humans.

Since he killed the toad, which was quite strong even in the swamp, other monsters would probably come to greedily eat the meat.

It would be better to get out quickly while the beasts’ eyes are focused here.

“… … hmm?”

However, Lennok, who was about to run away without looking back, stopped again, recognizing a sense of déjà vu caught in his gaze.

The corpse of the Witchbeast whose head had just been blown off.

To be precise, it was Lennok staring at the belly skin of the torso.

“… … .”

[master?]

“The magic power remains.”

[Isn’t it strange that a strong monster retains its magical power for a long time after death?]

“no. It’s on the other side. You were mistaken in the first place.”

Lennok said that and immediately jumped down the tree.

Adjusting the floating magic to slow it down, Lennok, who landed on the beast’s belly skin, picked up a magician.

Awesome!!

Applies cutting magic to neatly cut off the belly skin and dig out the intestines.

“… … found.”

It was digested, but in the inside of the beast’s intestines, the particularly bulging part was cut once more.

Jurr!!

An indescribable mixture of remains and filth from the meatballs flowed out of the cracked intestines.

Darby was frightened, but Lennok was unfazed and stretched his sorcerer through the filth and immediately pulled out something.

thud!!

A gigantic locker almost equal to Lennok’s height in terms of size.

The figure of a woman praying is carved on the outside as if it were modeled after Iron Maiden.

A unique object that seems completely unrelated to an object that can be found in the beast’s digestive system.

said Lennok, looking down at the ship.

“The magic that I first felt belonged to the Witchbeast was something that came out of this ship in the first place. I was mistaken because it was an overly primitive idea.”

When a powerful demon or superhuman dies, it is natural that the magic power remains in the corpse, but the magic power that has undergone a huge change called death is bound to change to some extent immediately after death.

However, the magical power that Lennok thought belonged to the Witchbeast did not change at all even after the head was blown off.

Through him, Lennok realized that there was something quite unusual among the items swallowed by the Witchbeast.

Something so intense and special that Lennok’s senses caught him before the magical power of the living Witchbeast.

“I can see why the Church was holding out in the middle of a swamp like this.”

Seeing the figure of a praying woman engraved on the exterior of the ham, Lennok said.

“I needed strength to retrieve this object that was swallowed by the Witchbeast. Is that why you tried to use human sacrifice to provide a means?”

[It’s a treasure that crazy organisms want to get back no matter what.]

Dabi was excited and waggled her tail.

[Let’s open it right away!]

“… … .”

However, as Lennok just said, there is a high possibility that demon beasts will come here in a little while.

Knowing that, is it worth opening this up right here?

It might be better to risk the consumption of mana and move to an uninhabited place with this for now, or leave it behind.

“… … good. Let’s open it.”

However, Lennok put aside such thoughts and immediately began pouring magic power over the door of the ship.

Unless you know how far you’ll have to travel from here to get out of the swamp, carrying it around is inefficient.

It would be better to check the contents here and see if you can carry it or not.

Charreuk!!

A considerable level of locking was applied to the door of the locker, but Lennok knew that and did not hesitate.

Lennok’s particle-level magic manipulation and intuition that reached a transcendental level.

If you have the magical power of an archmage, you can break quite a few spells with frontal force.

supportive… … !!

Without bothering to analyze the system, the part that supplies the power of the formula is blocked by mana and forcibly replaced with the structure of the original formula.

That alone distorts the formula itself and obscures the basic principle, and Lennok’s will immediately replaces the formula.

Paaang!!

With a light ripple on the swampy lake, the lock breaks and the door swings open.

“good. Then, what is the treasure that the Church was trying to hide… … .”

Lennok’s words stopped as he peered into the locker.

Darby, too, immediately confirmed what appeared in front of him and was silent.

[…] … .]

“This… … .”

What existed in the storage box was not an artifact or a sacred relic of the Church.

The corpse of a woman crouched in a prayer position.

A calm face with eyes closed while wearing an antique robe.

At first glance, it looked like the praying goddess engraved on the outer wall of the locker.

[hmm… … .]

After thinking for a while, Dabi asked with difficulty.

[I think I opened it for no reason, should I just leave it like this?]

Even at first glance, the contents of the storage box seemed like something unusual was going to happen.

If it was an object that the priests of the church spent a lot of time trying to recover, the importance of this corpse must be enormous.

Maybe it was a secret that fanatics shouldn’t touch.

From Lennok’s point of view heading to Yorta, there was no need to be pursued by the Church by touching or retrieving it.

But Lennok didn’t even flinch at Darby’s suggestion, staring at the corpse’s face.

“It’s difficult… … .”

[master?]

“He is someone I know. That’s someone I’ve met as Victor’s identity.”

Lennok murmured, shaking his head quietly.

It was because the figure of him dying peacefully in the form of prayer must have been a face in his memory.

“The person who tried to appease Tatiana at the outskirts of the Great Forest at the end of the Handbook Well incident. This is going to be a real problem.”

[…] … yes?]

Only then did Dabi, who can’t remember people’s faces, realize the meaning and ask back.

[Master, I can’t believe this organism… … .]

“There is only one high-ranking position in the church that can make others apostles.”

Lennok said that and nodded.

He realized why the priests of the church he encountered for the first time were able to casually say that they were making apostles.

“The priestess of the Guido Church has died. If this fact is known to the outside world, it will be quite a headache.”

An official from the church who appeared in the final half of the handbook’s well incident and tried to persuade Tatiana Chiglet to become an apostle.

The highest ranking position in the church that represents the will of the religious leader, and the priest who presides over all ceremonies within the church.

The body of the priestess, Seina Naidri, was abandoned somewhere in this unknown rough land.

“no. It is not over yet.”

At that moment, the priestess, who had closed her eyes in prayer, slowly opened her mouth and let out words.

“If even this is the result of His arrangement, we will have to endure it.”
