The Genius Wizard Who Takes Medicine Episode 873

Eyes that see fate (9)

Wow!!

A complex cityscape that breaks like glass.

In the midst of chaos where everything that shines is cracked by an ensemble of deafening roars.

Even as all the visible space is being destroyed, the door to the open sea, mixing day and night, remains in place.

The [gate] on the open sea that Vice Mayor Amy Weinston showed them around is definitely real.

It’s just that through him, no one has been able to reach the depths of District 19, which is said to exist outside the open sea.

“I knew Lapis didn’t have access rights.”

Lennok asked, turning to face the deputy mayor standing on the edge of the collapsing rooftop.

Grumbling!!

The flames that rose from the fingertips stretched out along the steps, drawing a long tail of flame.

“Were you still suspicious even after completing the biometric code test?”

[Once I begin to doubt something, I never believe it to the end.]

The deputy mayor responded calmly even in the face of Lennok’s fierce appearance.

[Feeling ominous is the answer derived unconsciously through countless experiences. Even if there is no basis, I completely trust my judgment.]

Are you the type of person who completely trusts and follows your own intuition rather than solid evidence and reasons?

However, if Amy Weinston rose to the position of deputy mayor of the Balkans despite maintaining that way of life, it is natural for Amy Weinston to think so.

[Rather, you are the one who is terrible. I never would have thought that even after coming all the way here and seeing the [Moon] in person, I would suspect its existence and rescue its owner.]

The deputy mayor’s eyes narrowed as he looked at Lennok.

[I thought that someone who knew the Gate of the Open Sea well would never suspect this situation… … . The wizard’s intentions are really difficult to read. They are still an unpleasant group.]

“okay. “I understand that everything I said in response was a ploy to control this situation the way I wanted.”

bang!!

The flames that burst out melt the glass door at the back of the rooftop. Lennok, who had blocked his escape corner, stretched out his hand forward.

The deputy mayor tried to avoid him, but as if he had read his movements, he narrowed the distance and sneaked in through the gap.

Hand gestures much slower than those of Weinston. However, Lennok’s hand suddenly grabbed the vice mayor’s collar as if being sucked in.

Sigh!

[Quick, loud… … !!]

“But if you wanted to fool me until the end, you shouldn’t have talked about the ban.”

Lennok’s fingertips turned red and soon dug into the iron mask that covered the vice mayor’s lower rank.

Although he struggled roughly, the iron mask, unable to overcome the heat, tore off, exposing his bare skin.

Tdu-duk!!

The deputy mayor’s mouth and chin, hidden under the mask, were miserably crushed, as if they had been dissolved in poison.

“Even if you say that this is what happened as a result of breaking the project’s prohibitions, it’s natural to be suspicious if you reveal the secrets of District 19.”

“Uh, uhm… … .”

Weinston’s lips are torn, teeth and tongue missing, and he can only emit simple sounds.

Was the vocalization itself implemented through a function built into the iron mask in the first place?

said Lennok, shoving the half-melted iron mask back into her mouth.

“Why did you break the agreement and try to kill Lapis? In this situation, where the Philenom Autonomous Territory’s non-aggression pact has not been terminated, is there any benefit for the city government?”

[Huh, huh… … . You’re not going to kill me?]

“Why do you want me to make you comfortable here quickly?”

Lennok laughed.

“You are not incapable of feeling pain or a fearless madman. “It’s just a prosthetic body made using android manufacturing technology.”

[…] … .]

“Considering that the main body’s hierarchy is not high, it would not be at the level of manipulating multiple artificial bodies at the same time. Is this a method of moving to a new body using the death of the artificial body as a trigger? “I guess I had abandoned my body a long time ago, leaving only my spirit behind.”

Lennok, who knew that research on androids had been conducted in District 19, thought there was a high possibility that the vice mayor also knew about related technology.

After the ban was lifted, it would not be surprising if the technology for manufacturing androids even influenced high-ranking officials in the Balkans.

Moreover, hadn’t Lennog heard from Mayer that Amy Weinston was a master of bionics and was very open-minded when it came to related technologies?

It would not be strange if the boldness of guiding a person through a closed area alone comes from having a spare body ready.

Lennok guessed this and realized that Amy Weinston was insensitive to pain, so he tried to subdue her.

“Even though it is a prosthetic body, the reason your mouth and chin are so crushed is probably because the prohibition price is always applied. “It would be a curse that would eat away at your spirit, not your body.”

[Haha, I see you understand that much about prohibition.]

The deputy mayor said, putting his iron mask on his mouth with trembling hands.

[Because of this wound, you might not think of me as a prosthetic body. When I inherited the access rights, I guessed that he was not an ordinary wizard, but – ah!!]

chin!!

Lennok, who roughly pushed the deputy mayor to the ground, looked at the deputy mayor with cold eyes and said.

“If I kill you right here, you will only wake up in a new body stored in a safe place. Why should I help you escape from here safely?”

[Off… … !!]

The deputy mayor’s body was thrown onto the flagpole at the end of the building’s roof, which was constantly shaking, and tied with magic thread.

Tduduk!!

With that alone, the deputy mayor’s neck was slightly bent and the sound of a bone breaking was heard.

“say. “If it was an agreement to be broken from the beginning, why did you bring Lapis here in the first place?”

[Fu, huhuhu… … !!! Are you curious as to why you did this?]

At that moment, the deputy mayor, who was out of breath, suddenly burst into laughter.

Even as it crawls and rolls around on the ground, its eyes do not dim at all.

Amy Weinston smiled as she looked away and saw Lapis standing behind her.

[If you want such a trivial explanation, I can give it to you. It is also true that opinions were divided in the Central Council regarding this matter, and that the process was focused on excluding the Blue House.]

“… … “Are you saying that the consultation with the city council itself was a lie from the beginning?”

[At a time when the position of the Qing Dynasty on the central front has grown too much, it is natural that other major powers also do not want to sit idly by. Congress and the government also just made a choice.]

The vice mayor whispered slowly to Lapis, who was silent and looked frustrated.

[Rather than a secret society led by Cheon-gyeon’s granddaughter, there were simply more city council members with connections to the federation and warlords.]

“… … .”

[With the emergence of the Corrupted Ascendant, the landscape of the central front is undergoing dramatic changes. Sooner or later, the city government will have to settle its position.]

The deputy mayor muttered as he looked around the crumbling city center outside District 19.

[This is just a simple step to organize the surroundings. Don’t you think it was too reckless from the start?]

There was a hint of ridicule in Weinston’s eyes that could not be hidden.

[What on earth can you believe, that you will be able to get what you want in this city without any trouble?]

Kwasik!!

At that moment, something struck the vice mayor’s chin so hard that the iron mask was torn off again.

I try to say something, but I can no longer come out with words.

Lennok looked down at the deputy mayor with an expressionless face and said.

“Oops, my hand slipped.”

“… … !!”

“do not worry. I’ll put it back on soon. More than that… … .”

Lennok looked back at Lapis, who was lowering her head, touched her wrist and opened her mouth.

“Patisha, what is Lapis’ condition?”

“There is nothing major wrong with my body.”

Patisia said as she quickly supported Lapis and checked her condition.

“However, since you used your supernormal abilities unreasonably, if you don’t rest for a while… … .”

The reaction that was about to be eaten by the gate of the open sea was actually stopped by the power of the lighthouse keeper.

“Evan. I’m fine.”

Only after hearing those words did Lapis raise her gaze with difficulty.

“I don’t want to come this far and stop. “For now, let’s stay here and find a way to get through the door.”

“No, that would be impossible.”

“If it doesn’t work out, perform the ceremony in front of the gate of the ocean, Jo-”

“That’s not what I meant. “The moment you failed to open the door, the deputy mayor immediately changed his attitude and tried to kill you.”

Lennok shook his head, covering Lapis’ mouth.

“There are two things that can be learned from that fact. One is that the deputy mayor did not know whether Clifton’s access rights could open the door.”

Why did the vice mayor guide them all this way when he had no intention of keeping the deal with Lapis?

Lennok thought it was because the deputy mayor wasn’t sure whether the access rights Lapis was supposed to inherit would actually work.

“The other one, then… … .”

Lennok, who was looking at the cityscape that was constantly shaking and breaking apart, shook his head.

“At the point when you fail to open the door, there is a high possibility that this space itself will not be maintained normally.”

At that moment, the gate to the open sea, which had been quietly flashing above the group’s heads, began to rumble loudly.

Damn it!!

Kwaaaa!!

An endless ominous magical power flowed out from beyond the door, instantly occupying all sides of District 19 and pouring down.

Intense magical power that destroys and annihilates the surroundings indiscriminately, like a pillar of black light striking down.

[Every time the door is opened, every time the attempt fails, everything is destroyed and reorganized… … .]

The deputy mayor muttered as he struggled to pick up the iron mask.

[Everything is already ruined. The space of this closed area is now a false illusion that exists only for that door.]

“… … .”

Are you trying to reorganize all space and time around you when you fail to open the door?

If the deputy mayor knew this, it is understandable why he took his time even after being overpowered by Lennok.

She knew from the beginning that when the plan failed, everything around her would be destroyed and mixed up.

[The space-time collapse phenomenon that occurs in Area 19 is not something that a mere human can handle. What are you going to do?]

The deputy mayor coughed painfully but did not stop laughing.

Either die here like the vice mayor, or escape out of the enclosed area to avoid the collapse and reorganization of space and time.

In the first place, I knew that since I had come this far and my original plan had gone awry, there were only two options.

But Lennok sneered even as he watched the ominous darkness falling from above his head.

“I don’t like it. “I don’t know, so I just suffer, get dragged around by their intentions, and get kicked out like this?”

It is clear that the secrets and failures of the project in District 19 are more than Lennok thought.

However, because of that, it is unacceptable to be dragged around by the vice mayor’s intentions and then run away as if being kicked out.

Because I didn’t know, because I didn’t know. I am tired of being toyed with due to lack of knowledge and experience.

A gate to the open sea that fluctuates, mixing day and night.

Lennok raised his head, grasping the pitch-black magic flowing from beyond.

“You can’t just go and see the losses. If I can’t get in… … “I’ll make sure no one gets in.”

[…] … What did you say?]

Quick!!

The moment the deputy mayor frowned at those words, Lennok grabbed the magic of the open sea falling under the door and began to absorb it.

The overwhelming assimilation power is such that the dark magic falling from beyond the door is depleted in an instant.

At that moment, due to the strong attraction centered around Lennok, all the surrounding lights were bent towards a single wizard.

Whioooooo!!

Geek!!

Along with a violent sound as if space were bending and rubbing, the twisted flames of the open sea scraped down my body.

For an ordinary wizard, the moment he is exposed to that magical power, it would not be surprising if his madness spreads to the very core of his bones and he goes crazy.

However, Lennok, who has witnessed the will of foreign media and delved into the ending of the world, has never once been swayed by these thoughts.

I realize how to make the will of the sea, which I thought I couldn’t understand, at least a part of it, my own.

Perhaps, I have now embodied and melted into my whole body what I knew the moment I encountered that possibility through Gwangra Muhae Palace.

Rumbling… … !!

By pouring an enormous amount of energy into one’s body, the vessel expands little by little without any recoil.

After reaching level 8, Lennok’s maximum magical power, which had remained unchanged for a long time, began to increase as if writhing.

Weeeeeeeee!!!

[What is this… … !!]

The moment the deputy mayor’s eyelids faintly trembled when he realized that he was absorbing the magic power of the open sea and using it to increase his own magic power.

Lennok swallowed up all the magical power that was bursting out beyond the gate of the open sea and drained it.

The moment when the fundamental power that maintained space and time in Area 19 was completely absorbed and paralyzed.

Wow!!

A gigantic void with no end in sight appeared beneath the ground.

Buildings everywhere were destroyed, and the space that made up heaven and earth began to collapse.

Kugwagwagwa!!!!

Lapis, Patisya, and Lennok’s new model falls between the cracked ground, and the deputy mayor tumbles down.

An acrid fog that constantly explodes from beyond the void.

Tens of thousands of people screaming desperately beyond the fog, their entire bodies covered in pitch-black darkness.

[Aaaaaah!!!!]

He thrust his blackened upper body forward and stretched out his hand towards Lennok, screaming indescribably.

[Aaaah!! Haaaaa!!]

A corrupted life that hates and curses all living things and spews out bitter cries.

Lennok immediately noticed that it looked somewhat familiar, but he didn’t have time to look at it.

“Partisan!!”

“Here… … !!”

In the void that cannot be clearly seen even right in front of you, you catch the presence of Lapis and Patisia and grab them.

Lennok grabbed a hard part, not sure if it was the crane’s leg or beak, and took out an old pencil and inserted it into the bodies of Patisia and Lapis.

Right next to him, the body of Amy Weinston, wearing an iron mask, stumbled and fell.

[Ha, haha… … !! I didn’t expect this… … !!]

If you are caught in the midst of those contaminants, even a deputy mayor who changes his body will not be able to withstand the mental damage.

It’s not bad to watch the deputy mayor who was relying on the artificial body suffer here, but it’s more effective to keep him alive and use him as a hostage.

Thinking like that, Lennok unconsciously raised his magic power, felt his insides violently shake, and closed his mouth.

‘Magic power… … !!’

What Lennok had just attempted was to forcibly hasten the destruction of Area 19 by absorbing all the magic power that maintains the gate to the open sea.

Aside from forcibly increasing the maximum magical power, whose growth had been delayed so far, the goal was to completely paralyze District 19 so that it could not function properly for the time being.

However, because he absorbed magic power that was not his own too quickly and grew stronger, the control of magic power in his body was immediately shaken.

The vice mayor’s smile became even brighter as he immediately noticed this.

[…] … I guess we’ll see each other again next time.]

Amy Weinston, falling backwards, looked back at Lennok and whispered.

[It will not be a farewell, but another meeting.]

He opens his arms wide and welcomes the tens of thousands of pollutants rushing toward him from beyond the void.

[Next time, I’ll let you see your face in a more convenient place.]

Quad!! Tdu-duk!! Ugh!!!

The deputy mayor’s body being torn apart with an indescribable, terrible noise.

The vice mayor’s face was contorted in unbearable pain, and then he disappeared in an instant without leaving a trace.

The pollutants, who quickly devoured the living body, were unable to overcome their hunger and rushed towards Lennok, howling.

A strange sight, falling into an endless void, with pollutants rushing in and the black fog billowing long.

It’s as if you’re inside the stomach of a huge monster, running away from the flies that live in its stomach.

However, Lennok was hesitant to use Enakpil’s five fingers until the very end.

‘It’s impossible to specify someone else’s coordinates. If you can’t escape the closed area… … .’

Enakpil’s Five Fingers is a technique that randomly transports the user out of a certain distance.

Although we can immediately increase the distance to which Lennok’s magic is transferred, we cannot accurately specify the coordinates in this state.

Both Lapis and Patisia may be scattered, and it may become impossible to know where they fell.

“Evan.”

But at that moment, Lapis quietly held Lennok’s hand and whispered.

Little by little, drops of blood fell between her closed eyelids.

“I can help you. “I will be watching.”

“… … !!”

The moment Lennok understood the true meaning of those words and immediately activated the artifact.

Paaaaa!!!

At the same time as there was a violent vibration that was incomparable to anything seen before, the scenery surrounding the three people changed completely, as if colors were mixing together.

* * *

Piiiiing!!

Uddangtangtang!!!

Behind the old brick building.

Lennok’s new model glided through the ruins inside the wall where a lot of trash was thrown away.

Flap!

Patisia spread her wings and gracefully took Lapis, and naturally landed on Lennok’s fallen back.

“Cough!!”

Lennok coughed and glared at Patisia with a cold gaze.

“Move.”

“… … “It wasn’t my intention.”

Patisia cleared her throat and got off Lennok’s back while holding Lapis in her arms.

Lennok stood up and looked at the fallen face of Lapis.

“What is the condition?”

Just before using Enakpil’s five fingers, Lapis used her supernormal abilities to forcibly ‘observe’ the destination.

Thanks to this, the three were able to safely escape out of District 19 without being scattered throughout the city.

On the contrary, it is clear that Lapis used her supernormal abilities excessively.

Lapis, who was shedding bloody tears little by little, seemed to have completely lost her mind.

“The already delicate supernormal ability of sight-reading was used excessively, so the backlash would be significant. In the worst case scenario, maybe… … .”

“say. what?”

Patisia said, barely able to calm her trembling voice.

“There may be major problems with your vision for a while… … .”

“… … .”

Lennok hid his confused expression and took out his cell phone from his pocket.

Now that we have escaped out of Area 19 and the situation has been resolved, we need to contact Evelyn and inform her of the current situation.

However, the first thing that came to mind in the message was not a communication related to Lapis or Evelyn.

As if Dabi had been waiting, the news that had just been announced was shown on the screen of his phone.

Lennok, who was mindlessly trying to scroll through the screen, stopped when he heard the announcer’s voice.

[The meeting with the Blue Eyes, which was held secretly in a closed area, ended in a bad outcome… … .]

[The leader of the Blue Eyes, Lapis Palsier, is suspected of attempting to assassinate Mayor Weinston, who participated in the meeting, and the current deputy mayor is believed to be in a deep coma… … .]

[The city government defined the lighthouse keeper and his wizard as high-ranking terrorists, issued an arrest warrant, and requested that they be wanted.]

“… … This.”

A screen of a Balkan city reflected in news transmitted beyond a mobile phone screen.

The faces of Lennok and Lapis appeared on every billboard and screen on the street.
