Drug-Eating Genius Mage - Chapter 184
Plant (3)
Along with the young man’s body collapsing, the fluorescent flames that burned as if desperately disappeared like a lie.
Only then did Lennok close his eyes with a tired expression.
This weak body felt tired just by staring at such intense fluorescent colors for a long time.
Lennok approached the fallen youth and pulled out the dagger stuck in his chest.
As the inner balance was broken, dark red blood was pouring out of every hole in the young man’s body, as if the recoil was considerable.
I don’t even have time to listen to the will. The faint life attached to him was purely because he was a wizard of considerable skill.
It’s ironic.
The moment she gave up everything to achieve the magic she had longed for her whole life and gained the realm, she collapsed because she couldn’t look back at a dagger approaching in front of her eyes.
However, it was also Lennok himself who presented this contradiction at the end of the young man’s life.
That’s why you shouldn’t forget it all the more.
The fact that Lennok’s time, which had been running so fiercely, could also end in vain and ephemeral.
Every time he knocked down those who stood in his way one by one, Lennok calmed himself down so as not to forget his original intention.
Rising from the young man’s corpse, Lennok stared down at his bloodstained dagger.
The sword that stabbed the priest and the death penalty once was unintentional, but its origin is bizarre.
Considering the myth that if time and a story are added to a curse spell, it becomes more powerful.
“Considering the transferability of artifacts, preparing a few more similar weapons isn’t bad… … .”
It is possible to seek variety even with attacks using magic, but the important thing is to establish variables that exceed the opponent’s expectations.
From Lennok’s point of view, it was possible to say this because adding a few irregular patterns like this was enough to turn the game around in a single stroke.
It’s important to review the battles that have ended, but I’ll have to think about what to do first.
Thinking so, Lennok immediately withdrew his mana and struck it at the bottom of his foot.
[Sink hole]
Guuuuuuu!!
All at once, a huge hole pierced the ground below, and Lennok’s body descended all the way underground.
A three-dimensional effect that is different from simply making a deep pit.
As Lennok speculated, it is proof that there is something more than a simple vacant lot beneath the plant.
Although it is surprising that even after making such an underground space, seedlings such as wild trees were being raised on the ground… … Anyone who has guessed the inside story will understand.
“You have arrived.”
Down in a dark underground cavity.
Dozens of glass cylinders rotate slowly and emit light, illuminating the surroundings.
In a cylinder about the size of a human body, a naked man and woman crouched down floated with their eyes closed, and a
sap of unknown origin filled the cylinder and assisted their life activities.
Should I say no?
There wasn’t even a single human left alive in this place.
Even Darby hesitated for a moment, as if he did not understand the figure properly.
[This… … They are humans.]
“Yes.”
Lennok replied.
“Probably, all of them are wizards or sorcerers of a considerable level. In particular, they must have focused on those who can use magical powers.”
[Did they use living magicians as their power source?]
“Do you know why this plant is the most successful among the Dominion’s floating islands? They were replenishing the nourishment they should have obtained from the land with human resources.”
Even though I already roughly guessed it, it can’t be less shocking than seeing it with my own eyes.
The appearance of well over forty cylinders lined up neatly in all directions.
The low sound of foam rising over the sap in the vat and the dull thud of dead flesh hitting the vat.
And a bizarre landscape where the lines connected to the bottom of the cylinder come together and extend beyond the darkness.
There was something that made me shudder just by stepping into this space.
“Perhaps he was talking about something similar to what he was talking about to me, and after attracting a skilled magician, he was using medicine to make it into a human battery and use it. The reason why he bothered to create a factory like this even though he knew that the efficiency would inevitably decrease if this many magicians were confined in one place… … [
It was to prepare for this situation.]
A heavy voice echoed from the depths of the underground cavity.
Lennok slowly turned his head at those words, as if he had waited.
A deep corner of the hollow that is not illuminated even by the light emitted by the life of magicians as fuel.
A low voice echoed in the dark shadows.
[nice to meet. Is this the first time seeing your face?]
“… … .”
[I thought we would meet again. The last time I saw fire magic, I was very familiar with it… … It’s not easy to forget that intense spark. Especially if one of you was helping with the business under me.]
He continued with a low laugh.
[But looking at your face, it seems that the Mage Tower has reconsidered our business relationship. It’s very regrettable.]
He hadn’t even looked at the situation outside, but he had already figured out everything about the situation.
I can’t help but admit that apart from his bizarre taste, his eyesight is considerable.
After all, it was a wise choice to completely change the face and magic pattern.
It came back quite a bit, but at least it seemed to be enough to plant a clear misunderstanding, as Lennok intended.
Lennok crossed his arms and raised his head arrogantly.
An expression that went well with Weizen’s far-sighted face was completed.
“Dominic Cavaro. That’s it. Promise me to stay out of the Dominion and we promise to no longer meddle in your business.”
[Us… … It’s a very annoying sound. Would you consider that your mage tower has established a new cooperative relationship with the disgusting lighthouse bastards?]
“… … ”
Lennok was silent.
Although he disguised himself as Weizen and stole his own magic, Lennok has no idea how the Blaver Magic Tower works.
Here, it is more helpful to remain silent than to get caught by the drug lord by making fun of your mouth unnecessarily.
A man with such intelligence would surely find his own answer even in Lennok’s delicate manner.
As expected, the drug lord clicked his tongue and let out a deep sigh.
[I wonder why he made such a big decision in a town as obstinate as the Magic Tower. If a magician like you came to deliver the will of the Mage Tower directly, it would be hard to think of it as a simple operation… … It’s hard to work with idiots.]
From what he muttered, he must have guessed what Lennok was trying to do, but Lennok was confident that this trick would go unnoticed.
You can disguise your face as much as you like, but copying someone else’s magical pattern.
And it was because dealing with the opponent’s unique magic to a considerable level was something that could never have been done without Lennok.
How can we know Lennok’s ability to freely use his own magic based on the transcendent magic manipulation ability and common magic comparable to an 8th level wizard?
No matter how brilliant the drug lord was and how sharp his eyes were, what he saw in front of him was only a fairly powerful fire mage.
[Sorry, my answer is-]
“No.”
The voice that was only heard as a muffled electronic sound changes to a voice in an instant.
Immediately after that, a pale flash of light fired from the darkness struck Lennok’s shield in an instant.
Instead of resisting the powerful impact, Lennok threw himself backwards and floated into the air with reverse gravity magic.
Aaaaaaang!!
Using the impact as a stepping stone, I quickly pulled my body out of the underground cavity.
It was so powerful that four shields could be shattered with one attack.
If you don’t wake up properly, it’s power that won’t be strange even if the shield is pierced in an instant.
While rubbing his temples with a tired face, the pit Lennok had dug toward the cavity collapsed as it were, and a huge amount of silt began to flow into the cavity.
In the aftermath of the fire magic, the soil of the plant turned to ashes, lost its cohesiveness, and began to fill the empty space underground.
The ash that filled the pit while eating away at the plant’s entire ground continued to rise in height without stopping, creating a huge mountain of ash.
A man perched naked on top of the mountain rose slowly from the ground, looking down at Lennok.
The face of a young man completely different from the age he was known to be in his mid-to-late 40s.
It’s a huge body with a solid physique that can be seen from a distance.
And the magic power swirling around his body clearly shows how he tried to reach this Dominion.
If only consciousness is blown away, it is as if there is no limit on distance or speed.
In addition, it is possible to explain how it appeared here by breaking through the barrier of the Dominion, which is isolated from the outside world.
Dominic Cavaro arrived here by transferring only his consciousness to the homunculus.
The existence of the homunculus guarding his medicine cabinet was probably a process to extract these results.
The reason why all the human batteries that should have been used to manufacture drugs were dead is also understandable if you think that it was to rapidly incarnate that body.
Dominic looked down at Lennok with a sharp gaze and stood up.
He slowly walked down the mountain of ashes, took the clothes of a young man buried nearby, and burst into laughter.
“Ha ha ha ha ha!!”
woo woo woo woo… … !!
The entire area shook as a tremendous amount of mana was stirred with just a simple act of revealing emotions.
How much potential does the body that was created by sucking the mana and life of dozens of magicians really have?
Even more, it is a relic of WORLD 1.0 that has now disappeared.
It was impossible to even easily guess its potential.
“For a long time, I admired the overwhelming power of Pandaemonium.”
Dominic muttered, clenching his fists.
“It wasn’t hard to admit that the most basic logic of this world is power, not money… … I lacked the means to obtain it.”
“… … .”
“But now it seems that all the deficiencies I needed have been filled.”
Slowly clenching his fists, he slowly turned to Lennok.
“If I find the place where your lighthouse is hidden and kill the watchers with my own hands, then I should be able to gain some recognition for my status in the pandemonium… … From there, I will take control of that unknown order.”
“I think you are misunderstanding something.”
Lennox smiled and replied.
“Was Pandaemonium an organization that could be described in grandiose terms like a society?”
The pandemonium he knows is an organization that does not even share a resolution, and even a top-down relationship does not exist properly, and the relationship between members is as vague as a grain of sand.
What makes Pandaemonium a true hall of demons is the overwhelming strength and individuality of each member, not the size or history of the organization.
There was no room for flimsy words such as organizational power or unity in that strong prestige.
Dominic also smiled faintly instead of denying it.
“You know about the pandemonium. That is not wrong.”
“… … “
It is true that there are not a few monsters who act on their own, but… … However, it is true that the meaning of pandemonium exists clearly.”
At the same time as her eyes flashed, the eyes made of magic overflowed.
“Even if the values and beliefs raised by those who are like grains of sand are certainly closer to the truth in my opinion, there is no need to worry any more.”
Dominic took a step forward and rolled up his sleeves.
“I will learn the secrets of this world and survive to the end.”
Wow-!!!
Right after that, a huge amount of steam gushed out of his arm with his sleeves rolled up.
The battle with the drug lord began before he even realized the determination contained in those words.
