Genius Magician Who Takes Medicine, Chapter 797

Betrayal and fanaticism (4)

“I understood that the body of the ascendant enshrined in the infinity was the vessel of the leader.”

Lennok said as he watched the ship sink infinitely deeper into the dark river.

“However, it is a completely different story that Dorae is the cult leader and that the cult leader used Dorae’s vessel.”

[…] … .]

“Which one?”

Looking at the silent priestess, Lennok asked again.

“Darae, a berserker who existed hundreds of years ago, was the cult leader himself?”

The shocking truth that the cult leader used the body of the arrival and existed as a berserker who challenged the ascension in the past.

An empty admission that Lennok knew nothing about the religious leader after all.

But even so, there were still stories to be heard from the priestess.

It is a completely different case that Do-rae is the cult leader himself and that the cult leader borrowed the body of the cult leader.

Lennock knew it was necessary to make it clear at this point.

[According to the doctrine, He existed at the same time as He descended, unfettered by the shackles of the flesh… … .]

The priestess looked at Lenok in silence, then put her hands together and began to pray.

The image of a priestess naturally reciting the doctrines of the church.

[He had no regrets even in his vessel. That’s why the vessel that exists in Mugan is both himself and not.]

“I am not interested in puns borrowing doctrines from the church. I would have said.”

Lennok sneered and shook his head.

“What I want to know is that the religious leader concealed his identity in that way for hundreds of years… … .”

For a moment, Lennok’s voice stopped slightly.

Ironically, the explanation itself seems to be pointing to someone else, not the religious leader.

asked Lennok, suppressing his agitation and quickly regaining his composure.

“So, it’s about whether I’ve been repeating mimicry as a different being.”

[…] … .]

“Has the cult master been in this world borrowing other vessels besides Dorae?”

Was it because of Lennok’s voice, which shook for a moment the moment he asked the question?

The priestess stared blankly at Lennok before opening her mouth.

[If you deal with the rituals of the church from generation to generation, there are times when you look back at the memories of the previous priestesses.]

“… … .”

[The beginning was a very small opportunity. It wasn’t something he didn’t want.]

As if breathing slowly, the priestess muttered in a tone that seemed to break at any moment.

[But even if I gave my all, there was something I had to do… … .]

“… … .”

[He has made a choice… … .]

Looking back at that memory, the priestess seemed hesitant to even mention it.

Looking at him for a moment, Lennok felt an indescribably complex mix of emotions.

who is the teacher?

Who does he think he is?

In the first world, he chose the path of a guru, and what did he see and return while digging into the secrets of the world?

Successfully ascending to heaven and moving on to the next world, what did he think as he looked back at the destroyed world?

The flow of time and cause and effect that only one person will remember is so thick that I dare not count the feelings.

His journey, which may have started out similar to Lennok’s.

His existence, which even abandoned his body and lived on in his memory.

Would it be strange if his actions, borrowing different names and leaving causal effects, looked so different and overlapped on the other hand?

“… … .”

It was after quite a long time that Lennok, who had been silent for a long time, spoke again.

“When I first met you, you said you were heading to Yoreta to speak to Jinwa.”

[…] … .]

“I said that there is something I must do even if I have to endure the death of my body and become a soul.”

Lennok murmured.

“At the time, I thought those two words had the same meaning, but… … .”

The reason why the priestess Seina Naidri led her dead body to Yorta even after she was sentenced to death by Jinwa.

Even though it was also in order to refute the command of Jinwa, which had been placed on her body, in silence.

On the contrary, he also prayed to check the old bowl of Gyoju, which was kept inside the Mugan.

The resolution that the priestess Seina Naidri had repeatedly promised that there would be something she must do even if she were to die.

That it had something to do with the corpse of the arrival, Lennok understood now.

“Even though it was a long time ago that Dorae’s remains were enshrined in the dark, why is the church trying to touch them now?”

[…] … .]

“Does your religious leader have any reason to move again through the remains of an ascendant who has already been spent and discarded?”

Even within the Church of Guido, which has hundreds of thousands of followers, the priestess possesses the most outstanding priestly capabilities.

If a religious priestess with such talent is acting for the sake of the religious leader, wouldn’t it be the result of the religious leader’s own intentions intervening?

If the leader left a comment to Lennok, it was because he foresaw and arranged this future.

What would it be like if there was a huge plan in reserve that the leader himself had to act on?

Just by understanding the secrets hidden in the infinity, countless speculations float around and get lost.

It was because the time the master of the church had spent was so thick and convoluted that it was impossible to guess the purpose by reading one of its secrets.

However, the priestess shook her head at Lennok’s words with a blurry expression.

[If his appearance had been placed in front of us even a little bit, the whole church would have already been holding a grand festival.]

“then?”

[After the vessel of the Ascendant had served its purpose, He made a deal with Yorta to enshrine it beyond the infinite.]

said the priestess.

[The traces he left behind are very precious to us, so the church’s priestesses have been looking down on even the vessels for generations. but… … .]

The spiritual body of the priestess who stopped talking began to bleed a cold chill.

[Recently, the conscious connection with the remains he left behind has begun to break.]

“… … Are you starting to lose contact with the remains?”

[The Pope’s Castle judges that this situation was touched by his bowl in the requiem.]

The face of the priestess, who quietly raised her head, turned infinitely cold.

[The spirits trapped in the old nocturnal dare to break their promise and invade the sanctuary.]

“… … .”

Did you mean that he coveted the body of the ascendant stored in the inferno at the requiem and began to touch it?

It is certainly not a common sense reason to carefully preserve or manage the body of an ascendant.

The reason why warlords who have lost their bodies and have lost their hands touch dishes that have lost their owners.

The priestess knew that their purpose was infinitely impure and was based on a desire that could never be ignored.

[It is understandable that bowls that have served their purpose are forgotten and disappear with the passage of time. We can also accept that it leads to the legacy he left behind.]

said the priestess.

[However, if the thing enshrined in the dark begins to be misused contrary to his intention… … I will never accept that.]

“… … .”

[I intend to fulfill my last duty as a priestess before this soul is exhausted.]

The priestess asked Lennok, who did not answer.

[You. Will you please help me to fulfill my mission?]

After hearing Seina Naidri’s words, Lennok finally realized the true purpose of the priestess’s visit to Yorta.

From the beginning, she had no interest in canceling Jinwa’s command or observing the flow of the curse.

Even after death, are you fulfilling your last responsibility to lead your body and protect the church’s mission?

Although he couldn’t understand the fanaticism of sacrificing others, Lennok understood how eager the priestess was for her mission.

“It’s not even funny to ask for help with the church’s mission.”

Lennok, who had been silent, responded with a cold smile.

“I do not like the crude fanaticism of the cult. It goes without saying how much the faith that has been twisted from the object of faith is broken.”

[…] … .]

“I don’t know why I have to watch the ugliness creeping in after choosing the obviously wrong answer. but-”

Looking at the spiritual body of the priestess who was calm even though her doctrine was denied in front of her eyes, Lennok said.

“There’s nothing I can’t lend a hand to, if you’re pretending to be making a deal over the body of an ascendant.”

[…] … A deal, you mean?]

“I will help the requiem to not touch the remains of Dorae. Instead, transfer ownership of the remains enshrined in the grave to me.”

Lennok turned around and asked, leaving the priestess speechless.

“If the only purpose is not to hand over the vessel of arrival to the requiem, then it won’t matter if I manage it for you, right?”

[…] … .]

“As you said, it would be even more so if it doesn’t matter if it is treated as a legacy.”

From the moment he identified the remains of Dorae enshrined in the darkness, Lennok knew what a valuable relic it was.

The body of a berserker who has qualified to challenge the ascension. What does it mean to be a vessel in which the religious leader himself became flesh and incarnated?

Just by taking a look at the vessel and examining it, you can discover tremendous new possibilities.

Lennok, who had learned the martial art of arrival through training with Lancia, knew how ridiculous its potential was.

‘It became a counterattack that twisted the laws of physics just by using the Eight Views of Gujungdorae mixed with Ouroboros.’

Looking at the troubled priestess, Lennok thought.

‘A strange sense of unity that exists between the martial art of arrival and Ouroboros. At the time, I thought it might be a coincidence, but… … .’

Why did the martial art of Gujungdorae suit Lennok so well?

The power of the Eight Scenic Views of Guzhong had an incomprehensibly powerful power compared to the time and principle of learning.

Could it be that the martial art created by someone who existed as a guru a long time ago was passed on to Lennok after a long time?

The moment I learned the nature of the Ascendant’s arrival, I was able to give a real answer to the doubts I felt at the time.

For Lancia, it was just part of the coming of age. Although he only learned a few very simple moves.

Investigating the remains of the arrival and the magical powers contained within them will reveal much more.

I don’t intend to do human experiments, but even examining the body of an ascendant and studying its composition can yield great results.

“As I said, borrowing the form of a transaction is to borrow that supernormal ability from Yorta.”

Lennok looked at the priestess and slowly adjusted the mask.

“Even if you refuse, if you enter Mugan, I will move as you said, so judge for yourself.”

If I borrowed the supernatural powers of the priestess, things should become easier, but I have no intention of stepping down just because she refuses to make a deal.

Since it’s up to Lennok to do the work himself anyway, it’s up to Lennok to dispose of the Ascendant’s remains after everything is done.

Even if Victor’s identity became hostile to the Church in the process, it didn’t matter at all now.

The priestess also smiled bitterly and nodded her head, as if she understood Lennok’s words.

[Requiem and pandemonium. If you have to choose one side… … You should hold the hand of an outlaw rather than a traitor.]

“… … .”

[All right. After everything is over, the next thing will be left to your will.]

It was certainly not a cool answer to accept Lennok’s proposal.

As if the situation were like that, it was just an agreement that he would not be able to stop it with his own strength.

Is it because that is the only authority the priestess herself can grant, or is it because there are other reasons?

The moment Lennok was about to say something to the priestess, the ghost ship shook greatly and felt a heavy shock.

coo!!

“… … did you arrive?”

Turning his gaze toward the window, Lennok realized that a completely different landscape was being projected on him.

The shape of a huge ruin located under the waterway.

Ruins that collapsed long ago and lost their original form, full of moss and rusted debris.

The ghost shark that pulled the ship put down the chain it was biting on and started swimming around.

In all directions of the site, there were countless boats of unknown shape going back and forth.

“The 8th basement floor of the memorial tower. The Underwater Garden of Pavellon.”

As Lennok watched the scene, a boy’s voice echoed behind him.

Oris, the judge who entered the ship before he knew it, was grinning as he looked this way.

“If you’ve come this far, you won’t have to worry about being chased.”

“… … .”

“It is one of the oldest historical sites in Yorta, and the water current passing through here is connected to all the marinas in Yorta.”

Oris asked, waving her hands like a fish.

“Don’t you understand why an ancient civilization settled in such a rough area?”

“… … This shouldn’t be the time to explain the archeology of Yorta.”

Lennok rubbed his mask annoyedly and turned his head away.

“Let’s first hear why the Grand Inquisitor, who should be on the first basement floor, did this.”

“Well, it’s a pity to see you again like this. Actually, I didn’t want to use such an ignorant method.”

Oris raised a hand to Lennok, as if begging for forgiveness.

“But when I saw you, I thought it might be like this. If you’re the one who came to Yorta with the power of a guide, you’ll be able to quickly find out the secrets hidden in the darkness.”

The judge chuckled and patted his stomach.

“Then I just thought I would have another chance.”

“A chance?”

“If you had heard the story from your soul mate, you would have known?”

the boy said calmly.

“The Man Gui Night Trip has already failed, but it is still not over. Everyone who participated in the night trip had to choose.”

“… … .”

“Whether you will be trapped in an endless nocturnal journey and belong to the Tower forever, or you will give up the nocturne and be branded as a traitor and exiled… … Onion and I were on the latter side.”

Watching the silent Lennok, Oris shrugged.

“Well, I’m in a bit better situation. Because I had a chance to make a choice. Most of the commanders have become parts of the tower without any room for it.”

“I don’t know what that has to do with this situation.”

Lennok replied coldly.

“Would you like to show condescension at how miserable the words of those who failed to ascend to heaven were?”

“her… … You must have a very sharp tongue.”

Did those words thrown without hesitation pierce Yoreta’s private parts too painfully?

The judge with an uncharacteristically bitter smile looked back at the ruins visible outside the ship and said.

“I understand, man. Anyone would be angry if they found out that Requiem’s ​​proposal was a trap to use you.”

“… … .”

“But you should know that this city is as old as it is. Our challenge ended a long time ago, and now we are just holding on to the remaining meaning and sinking… … .”

Oris said, averting her gaze and hiding her expression.

“Isn’t that the case with all longings that have rotted away slowly?”

“I don’t know what you mean, but you have a strange misunderstanding.”

said Lennok, adjusting his mask.

“I know nothing of the rise and fall of Yorta. I don’t care how the spirits of the requiem went down.”

“… … .”

“Just the reason why you helped me and the way to get into trouble. I just want to be clear about those two things.”

Lennok sneered at the silent judge.

“Or, does the banished Commander need a kinder explanation than this?”

When the goal is clear, all you need is information and means to grasp the situation.

Lennok followed him, knowing that he could make it clear through the judge standing right in front of him.

Whether it’s the requiem or the judge, if you’re moving to use his ability and existence, not because Lenok has a benefactor, you just chose the more helpful one.

“… … no. You are right.”

Oris smiled bitterly as if he understood Lennok’s words.

“At the point when we escaped safely, the requiem will also try to move in earnest. As promised, I will tell you another way to enter the infinite.”

“The most important thing is whether or not to go through the memorial tower and enter the infinity.”

As soon as Lennok heard that, he arranged the necessary conditions and circumstances.

“I felt it while dealing with Mangwi, but the possibility of only losing money against the commander in the tower was too high.”

The demons of the memorial tower are free to separate and deal with the commanders subordinated to the tower.

It is a forbidden technique that uses the spirits and flesh that participated in the night trip that started a long time ago as consumables for the magic formula.

However, because of that, it was not enough to greatly increase the efficiency and power of the command spells, so you could fight while supplementing the necessary commands.

Even Lennok had to ponder whether to use the elixir for a moment,

It would be very difficult to break through the boundary of the memorial tower from the front and enter the infinity.

“From the point of view of the requiem guarding the tower, it would be enough just to be wary of this side’s approach and push it away. You will need a means that does not conflict with the purpose.”

“Oh, you don’t have to worry about that part. Rather, it doesn’t matter if you completely exclude it.”

But Oris nodded, not paying attention to Lennok’s words.

“In the first place, entering the infinity through the memorial tower was an impossible way for you from the beginning.”

“… … You say it’s impossible to enter the infinite through the tower?”

“Infinity is a space that conceptually compresses and embodies the boundary line that does not exist between the material world and the spirit world.”

Oris explained.

“The reason why the sanctuary originally designed to observe the flow of curses can exist as the stairs of the tower is because it is the entrance to the material world.”

“It is the entrance to the material world… … .”

Are you saying that the space between the infinity that exists in the memorial tower is the entrance to the material world?

Lennok realized the meaning and paused for a moment before the judge asked.

“What must I do to cross the boundary from the entrance of the material world to infinity?”

Looking at the troubled Lennok, Oris answered himself.

“You must die once. That is the only way to enter the infinite through the entrance of the memorial tower.”

“… … .”

“That’s why a living being like you can never pass through infinity. Killing yourself to get to the sanctuary of curses is nothing short of a complete turnaround.”

“Right… … .”

The reason why only the method of peeping beyond the infinity was written in the ghost report instead of entering the infinity.

The reason why even the method of peeping into Mugan was to curse oneself and observe the flow beyond Mugan.

Was it because it was impossible to enter the infinity through the memorial tower with a living body in the first place?

As Lennok understood and nodded, the judge asked again.

“Then, instead of dying yourself, the way to enter the infinite is-”

“You can enter through the exit on the other side. yes?”

“… … .”

Lennok said, looking at Oris who was silent.

“If it is a space that exists on the boundary between the material world and the spirit world, there must be an exit to the spirit world that contrasts with the entrance to the material world.”

“her… … .”

“On the contrary, aren’t only living beings allowed to enter and exit the infinity there?”

[…] … .]

The priestess, who had been quietly listening to the conversation, also looked down at Lennok with a surprised expression.

Oris, who was staring at Lennok in amazement, stuck out his tongue.

“He’s not smart enough to give me goosebumps. Did you find the answer yourself with just those words?”

“… … .”

“That’s right. Two doors located on both sides of the material world and the spirit world. An exit to the spirit world that can be accessed without going through the memorial tower.”

Oris said.

“I call this the reverse gate of infinity. It can be said that it is the final destination that we must head from now on.”
