Drug-Eating Genius Mage - Chapter 396

Mystic Eyes (3)

Anatomical hologram of a human body with the Mystic Eyes awakened in both eyes.

The horsepower circuit that spreads evenly between the optic nerves divides the output and lowers the load.

[It is for this reason that extraocular awakeners are relatively unstable compared to binocular awakeners. The more you use the Mystic Eye, the more stress is placed on the optic nerve on one side, and the body can’t stand it.]

Oliviera continued.

[The best way is not to touch the magic eye itself, but to adjust the excessive output itself. Rather than draining or suppressing the overflowing water, it is best to move it to a different place little by little.]

“Awakening the demonic eye in the right eye is the solution… … .”

Unlike other magic eye holders, Lennok’s magic eye is like a mirror that reflects his image as it is.

Therefore, it is only natural that the output of the Mystic Eye will become stronger as Lennok’s image is firmly established.

Could it be that the power flowing from Lennok’s mental image, which received answers from Jindun’s labyrinth and set the direction, has grown to the point where one left eye can no longer receive it, so it is not functioning properly and is being broken?

However, the fact that there was no abnormality in Lennok’s body or eyes was possible because Lennok’s demonic eye was thoroughly based on that image.

Oliviera did not know exactly what process Lennok’s mystic eye was opened through, but she was accurately pinpointing the cause and solution of the problem.

“To be honest, what you’re saying sounds like a fluke.”

Except for the fact that the solution is way too drastic.

Lennok said, looking up at the hologram with his arms crossed.

“It’s not that I haven’t tried to awaken the demonic eye in the other pupil.”

After recognizing that the ability of the Mystic Eyes is linked to his own image and that its effectiveness is beyond imagination, Lennok has been steadily attempting to awaken the Mystic Eyes in both eyes.

However, unlike the first time when the magic eye was awakened by following the flow of Iola’s magical power, positive results could not be obtained.

The ability of the magic eye was close to a physical ability that was completely different from the sorcerer’s sorcery ability, so even Lennok’s talent was not an area that he could reach at will.

Every time I met a magical eye holder, I tried to stimulate the pupils arbitrarily while imitating the flow of magic in both eyes, but I only felt the side effects of mana addiction strongly.

“Opening the demonic eye itself is not something that the magician wants, so I don’t know if it can be called a solution.”

If the output of the excessive magic eye itself is a side effect caused by Lennok’s image becoming stronger, then the magic eye to be awakened in the right eye must also be in contact with Lennok’s image in a different way in order to reduce the output.

Can the answer to awaken even the right eye be a normal answer to the ability that one cannot even open one’s eyes at will, let alone set one’s ability at one’s will?

‘Should I contact Balak Oedon? I did accept the word about the leaflet, but… … .’

While Lennok was thinking that he might have to contact the Ingenious Development Agency, which deals with innate abilities, including psychic abilities, Oliveira reluctantly

turned around.

[Follow me.]

“… … what?”

There was no answer.

Whoops!!

At that moment, the huge book with the laboratory open was folded and stood vertically, and the bodies of the two people sandwiched between them sank deep down and reached the edge of a stairway.

A huge book located within a glass sphere hundreds of meters in radius. The scenery of the gloomy basement that exists beneath that vast book.

How can such different spaces exist within the same crystalline lens?

Contrary to the lab, which folds and stores the space through bookmarks, the existence of a hidden basement behind the space.

That would mean that Oliviera is also using the concept of the imaginary dimension itself and applying it to the real world.

woo oh oh… … !!

Unlike the scene of the laboratory, which feels warm somewhere, the air in the basement is cold and gloomy.

Oliviera walked down the stairs while Lennok shrugged at the chilling wind.

[There were countless wars even before megacities were created.]

“… … ”

[Many strong people died, leaving only remains. What is kept in this cellar is part of the evidence for repeating that mistake.]

Lennok’s complexion slightly changed when he finally realized what Oliviera was saying.

“Wait, that means… … .”

Before Lennok could speak, she beckoned and the huge metal barriers that filled the cold cellar began to vibrate loudly.

Kugoong!!

At the same time as cracks form between the walls, the hidden space is revealed.

A chilling chill that seeps through the barrier with the door open.

The artificially created ultra-low temperature feels cold as if it is intended to artificially store something.

Following Oliviera into the space, Lennok opened his mouth slightly.

All kinds of human body parts, including arms and legs, pupils and hair, floating between huge glass tubes.

Not only corpses that do not exist from the waist down, but also remains of men and women with intact limbs, or corpses with only the head remaining are visible.

The energy of death that settled in this space where there was no noise and only the faint sound of vibration resonated made the whole scene even more horrifying.

“Crazy… … . Did you organize this many human specimens for research?”

[The remains of those with rare constitutions or innately powerful abilities are valuable resources and assets in themselves.] Oliviera

answered in a nonchalant voice.

[They are the most valuable and valuable items among my assets and treasures.]

“… … It must be very dangerous to hide such remains. If the city council finds out, there will be an uproar.”

Even the Balkan city government, which almost ignores crimes in the outskirts and in the shadows, is extremely strict about handling the corpses of high-ranking superhumans.

In this world where various arts and sciences live and breathe, there are many ways to play with human corpses and lives.

[At the time of awakening Chilchaebo’s Mystic Eye, I had no intention of covering it up in any way. It was on the verge of self-destruction if the madness was not resolved before going mad while being consumed by the power.]

“… … .”

[No answer.]

A faint smile began to blend into her twilight as she looked back at Lennok through the veil.

[You’re not going to say that you’re disappointed in my humanity right now, are you? I don’t think he’ll be able to keep his trivial duty with that much talent and skills.]

“… … no.”

Lennok shook his head slowly.

“Just because I think I know why you changed like a completely different person at some point.”

[…] … .]

As if not expecting that answer at all, Oliviera kept her mouth shut.

After being silent for a while, she smiled and started walking again.

[…] … Did you even come to meet an old shaman? I can guess what he said, so I won’t ask anymore.]

“… … .”

[But if we meet again, I hope you tell her to watch her mouth.]

Of course, Oliviera still remembers Grisha properly.

Lennok confirmed the fact, but did not further inquire into what had happened in her past.

Right now I had to focus more on the things she was showing Lennok than on those things.

[As I said before, I have kept the remains of people with unusual constitutions or innate abilities in this basement.]

Standing in front of a shelf lined with three glass tubes, she said.

[Among them, there are also superhumans who have exceptionally powerful magic eyes. Organized in this category are the remains of demonic eye holders who have reached the Ascension level.]

“This is… … .”

Lennok held his breath as he stood in front of him.

Three types of pupils floating in different glass tubes.

It was because those eyes were looking down at the two of them as if they were alive.

[The one on the far left is the ‘Mystic Eye of the North Head’ possessed by the Great Warrior of the Southern Blood Spirit. They say you can see into the future by borrowing the power of the stars, a blood relative ability passed down from generation to generation

.

Strolling between the glass tubes in a calm tone, Oliviera began to tell stories about the Mystic Eye.

[The one stored in the middle is the ‘Magic Eye of the Swordsman’ possessed by a space-type tailor in Machine City. He has the ability to accurately cut and measure space itself according to absolute coordinates. The power of the demonic eye reached its peak, and it was to the extent that it could cut and connect space just by looking at it.]

“… … It’s not even an eyeball.”

Lennok was at a loss for words as he looked closely into the glass tube.

It was because not the pupils, but the whole human head, which had been torn off in half, was floating between the glass tubes.

A pattern of colorful figures appeared on the retina of the pupil, which was preserved intact among the remains.

Is it to keep the remains as intact as possible in order to preserve the Mystic Eye?

Even so, it was only natural that the appearance seemed excessively eerie.

[And the one kept on the far right is the ‘Mystic Eye of the Thunderbolt’ possessed by the Grand Commander of Arsnova, the central city. It is the ability of a great aristocrat who has been living intact for decades even with the outside eye.]

Unlike the previous two cases, in which the two pairs were intact, only one pupil was left in the third glass tube.

However, the pupils that glowed with golden light seemed to be no shortage compared to the other two Demon Eyes.

A monster with all three magical eyes possessing extraordinary power and potential at the same time.

Realizing how rare treasures and artifacts each of these Mystic Eyes were, Lennok stuck out his tongue in silence.

“Could the chairman of the cartel be able to collect this amount of artifacts and put them in the basement? It’s a really great resource.”

[I only collected samples in the process of researching mystic eyes, but never used them. Mystic Eyes are things that only show their true value after transplanting them myself , and

I had no intention of replacing my own eyes.

The magic eye of Chilchaebo that she possesses is the power that symbolizes Oliviera Lone Maze, and is the key that made her reach the 8th level Ultimate Wizard.

I don’t know exactly what kind of power the demon’s eye emits, but it seemed certain that it would never be inferior to the three demons gathered here.

[I have collected several other demon eyes, but these are all three specimens that fit your level and are in the best condition.] Oliviera

said with her arms crossed.

[I’ll choose one of the three magic eyes and transplant it into your right pupil.] It

was a very unconventional proposal, but Lennok wasn’t too surprised.

It was because he had at least guessed that Oliviera would make such a proposal at the point of bringing her here and showing her mystic eyes.

[Then you will be able to handle it naturally by dividing the output without having to try to open the magic eye. Your Mystic Eyes with no cracks will also grow naturally.]

“… … .”

[As long as you are determined to cooperate with the cartel at any cost, I am also willing to give you a corresponding reward.]

She continued with a slightly softened tone.

[I am also very aware of your talent and power, and I don’t want that power to run in an unnecessary direction in this city.

I think there is ample room for holding hands if there is a need.] Certainly, handing over a rare type of magic eye just by dealing with the 3rd boss, Ayun, and taking care of troublesome things is itself a benefit to Lennok.

Considering that the Mystic Eye itself is something that cannot be obtained with money on the market, and that the stronger the grade or ability, the more it is treated as an artifact-level artifact, so at this point, Oliviera is patronizing it.

Is it to confirm that he is the one who will always pay a generous price even if he sits at the same negotiating table as Lennok?

“Sorry, but that’s not the answer I was looking for.”

However, Lennok agreed with Oliviera’s words, but eventually shook his head slowly.

“I don’t really like the idea of throwing away my intact pupil and transplanting someone else’s eye. If I had intended to change body parts like that, I would have done it a long time ago.”

Although he suffered countless hardships due to the punishment imposed on his body, Lennok never thought about modifying his body or transplanting body parts.

Talent is, after all, a force that is affected by both the mind and the body.

No matter how crude and weak the body is, it does not change that it is a vessel that most perfectly embodies Lennok’s talent and bondage.

Lennok had no intention of breaking the balance with the clumsy method of human body modification or transplantation.

It was already recognized that the probability of escaping from the confines was very low with such artificial substitution alone.

[I asked about the Mystic Eye, so I only gave an answer corresponding to that.]

Oliviera naturally relaxed her arms and replied.

[If you don’t like the offer, there’s nothing you can do about it. It’s been a long time since I’ve had a sorcerer who raised the ability of mystic eyes to this level, but I don’t think there’s anything I can’t do anymore.] It’s only natural to

think of Lennok’s answer that way.

If she refuses to bring her to the lab where she had been hidden, show her a sample of the magic eye, and offer her own solution, she will think she did her best.

But Lennok immediately shook his head despite her reply.

“Even if it’s not the three types of demonic eyes here, isn’t there still one other person’s demonic eye?”

[…] … What?]

Before Lennok could answer that, he met Oliviera’s eyes hidden behind a veil without saying a word.

There was only one magic eye that Lennok had in mind from the beginning.

Only then did Oliviera realize what the wizard in front of her was thinking and slowly tilted her head.

[I hope you… … .]

“It’s about the 3rd boss. I never intended to get anything out of you with just that.”

This was because it was clear that the eyes of Oliviera, who had reached the level of a wizard of the highest order and completely acquired the power of the Mystic Eye as her own, would almost certainly be deeply connected to her image.

It is not simply the size of the supernatural ability itself or the power of the Mystic Eye that is strong.

What Lennok wants is to investigate a case like his own where the magic eye ability itself is strongly linked to the image of the caster, and to study the process of its manifestation.

And there was only one person in the city who had the power to meet Lennok’s condition.

“Chairman, the magic eye of Chilchaebo you have. I want to propose a new deal in exchange for allowing you to study it.”
