Drug-Eating Genius Mage - Chapter 536
Genius Magician Who Eats Medicine Episode 536
Giant of the Sun (3)
Turyeonmun Garden in the back of the main building.
The main house provided for important nobles in the Turyeonmun Gate, where the facilities available for use are determined according to the level and skill level.
Several gigantic stone statues resembling evil demons surround the garden as if to protect it.
The thick hands of stone statues lined up in all directions spread out like a curtain, secretly covering the innermost space of the main house.
The edge of the sunny garden, out of reach of outside eyes.
Lennok was slowly warming up in the military coffin directly facing the wide meadow.
The contrast between the hard wooden floor underfoot and the warm garden visible to the naked eye right next to it.
The shape of the unique structure half-connected to the outside garden is impressive, but I couldn’t afford to pay attention to such a scene right now.
It was because in front of Lennok’s eyes, a man wearing a white coat and his hands behind his back was staring at him with a strange smile.
Innocence, standing bare-handed without any equipment or weapons, opened his mouth.
“Get ready slowly. I can give you as much time as you want to warm up.”
“… … .”
“But I don’t intend to give you too many opportunities to check your qualifications. Do you understand?”
He smiled, raising his long white eyebrows.
“As I’ve lived longer, the distinction between those who can learn something and those who can’t is getting faster and faster.”
The pure white eyes of innocence shone coldly.
“I cannot give you a chance if it does not arouse my curiosity or inspiration, at least in the determination of incompetence. It is a courtesy to all the unmanned people who passed through the main gate.”
“Now that the useless talk is over, let’s hear about the specific method.”
said Lennok, erasing the taste of the painkiller slowly dissolving in his mouth.
“Tell me about the test method and acceptance criteria.”
Stimulants and painkillers have already been mixed with various medicines, including paralytics that suppress the sense of balance.
Pretending to warm up was to avoid giving unnecessary excuses to others watching.
Because Lennok and innocent were not the only two standing here.
Dozens of people looking down this way from the other side of the main building.
All of them are warriors of considerable skill who exude unusual momentum.
They were probably high-ranking officials in the Battle Gate enough to hear the decision of innocence and directly observe the test.
Among them, a black-haired woman with a strong impression, standing to the far left, sighed and opened her mouth.
Exceptionally thick eyebrows and sharp features. Even at a glance, the similarity to the appearance of innocence is noticeable.
“Grandpa, I still can’t understand the current situation.”
“What do you mean?”
“The first thing you do after you break the gate and go out after a long time and come back is a test to receive a new disciple.”
The woman gave Lennok a distrustful look and said,
“How much more can anyone understand this situation if the target is a notorious wizard in the shadows?”
“… … .”
“He has no reason or purpose for doing this. I don’t think there is any other ulterior motive.”
The reason why he said so much must be because what Gyeon-roe has been doing in the shadows is known to some extent to the warriors of Turyeonmun.
It is a reaction that they cannot show unless they have heard about the decisive battle between Madric Onion and Lennok.
The same goes for the fact that he guessed about Lennok’s identity even though he didn’t say anything.
The reaction itself is not incomprehensible.
No matter how advanced they are, who would understand that a high-ranking wizard like Lennok learns martial arts out of nowhere? It wouldn’t be too awkward to feel suspicious of the fact
that a person with the talent and strength who would not feel any regret even if he had not learned martial arts
would approach innocent in this way.
Innocence also laughed haphazardly to see if he was unaware of such a reaction.
“Karia, that’s because you don’t know much about this situation. Bringing him in the first place is-”
After saying that, Gyeol-baek stopped talking and shook his head.
“It happened. It’s already been decided, so it won’t be too late to talk about it after it’s over.”
“… … Grandpa.”
“If you don’t pass the test, isn’t that the end of the story?”
He must have realized that if he wanted to say more, he would eventually have to explain the whole situation to others.
Innocence, who took a step forward, looked at Lennok with pure white eyes.
Lennok took that gaze nonchalantly and nodded toward the woman who was keeping a keen eye on him.
“Didn’t you tell me that you left your granddaughter somewhere else?”
The woman whom Innocence just referred to as Caria. Didn’t you openly call him grandfather?
When he saw Lennok, he said something unfunny that he remembered his granddaughter in a foreign country, and it was only half a day later that he was caught and lied to.
“Heh, was it? As I get older, my memories keep coming and going.”
“… … .”
“Well, that’s not important. While I was waiting, I decided what to test my qualities with.”
The innocent, who casually turned around, took one more step forward while gently loosening his hands behind his back.
“It would be meaningless to test your cognitive ability or judgment against a high-ranking mage. I am well aware of the fact that I cannot judge your non-existence with such things.”
“so?”
“If it is difficult to examine each one individually because they are already so good at certain abilities, then in the end, we have to judge based on the overall impression and feeling.”
Innocent, who had been touching his chin, muttered in an ambiguous tone.
“It’s just a matter of who you’re dealing with… … .”
As Claude Azlan said, he slowly began to release the momentum he had been hiding.
Woo Woo Woo!!
Along with the hallucination of a cold wind blowing, the mana that flowed from under his feet swung like a whip and clawed the ground.
At the moment when the white coat seemed to flutter, the illusion of an innocence rising from inside Lennok was created.
Claude’s intense aura filled the vast interior of the military crown and seemed about to explode.
“Should I check it myself first?”
‘come… … !!’
Each step forward turned into a pure white battle.
Using the simultaneous activation of Magical Sensing and Mystic Eyes, the movement of innocence is pre-entered in the realm of prediction.
Lennok’s neck seemed to snap to one side, and then he lowered his posture exquisitely as it folded from his collarbone to his shoulder.
Immediately after, the flash of light that passed by my cheek transformed into a human form.
Aaaaaang!!
A terrifying gong sound that arrives a step late.
“Oh my.”
The innocence gaze turned to Lennok, who was holding his body down.
“It is not the realm of cognition and senses. Didn’t you even think of reacting from the start?”
“Whoa… … !!”
Even with just one evasive action, sweat dripped down from his body.
Even though all preparations have been completed to move the body with magician manipulation, the body reacts to the pressure from the front.
In Lennok’s head as he stared at the monster in front of him, various pieces of information he had been familiar with earlier were quickly circulating and being organized.
‘The precedent must be the second choice through direct report and sameum (直步杉陰). I’m guessing there’s no possibility of reacting to it based on my physical abilities.’
With Darby’s help, Lennok succeeded in obtaining some information about the innocence’s abilities and microcosm by using the deep web’s collective intelligence.
Thoroughly familiarize yourself with the martial arts mainly used by Gyeolbaek and the ability presumed from the image of the first gong pattern.
In addition, the information of the mock battle accumulated by others while discussing the situation on the premise of a one-on-one battle with Lennok.
A situation where I simulated this situation in my head close to 50 times even before the start of the match.
As a result, Lennok was able to safely avoid the first attack of innocence, which jumped through space as soon as he started.
‘Jikbo Sanyin (直步杉陰) is a high-level step method of jumping over space and approaching on the condition that you show the opponent the first step.’
The contradiction of gaining mobility that is close to hitting by leaving room for reaction.
Even in the martial arts of Turyeonmun, it is a technique that most perfectly embodies the concept of Seon later than anything else.
Under the condition of being able to use magic, the archangel’s compassion would twist the space and counterattack, but it would be impossible to react and
avoid the attack with just Lennok’s body manipulated by magician.
I didn’t even think about cognition through the physical eyes and five senses from the beginning.
Thoroughly predicting the movement of the innocence in advance with the ability of the magic eye and detecting magic power, and making the opponent’s attack and defense follow by moving first.
Lenok was standing in this position after studying and studying roughly the martial arts and techniques used by the innocence for him.
Innocent must have felt it as well, so he was silent for a while.
“… … Right. Is that your answer?”
“… … .”
“Are you trying to dance until you break even yourself as a chess piece? You really don’t have to be a wizard.”
Flutter!!
With one gesture of innocence, the white coating fluttered madly and covered the view.
A quiet voice of innocence resounded through the fragments of magical power that fluttered in all directions.
“Caria. Come down this way.”
“Grandpa… … ?”
“I guess you’ll have to fight in my place.”
The innocence said so and slowly began to back away.
“I want to step back and see what this wizard is trying to show me. Can you help me?”
“… … .”
Caria, who had been silent, sighed and ran her hair through her hair.
Her new model, which fell from the upper level of the military officer’s dais, landed on the floor where Lenok and Gyeol-byeon were standing in an instant.
“It’s Grandpa’s request, so I’ll help you right away, but… … .”
Karia stepped forward, glancing at Lennok.
“After this is over, you need to explain clearly.”
“Do you mean this?”
Innocent, smiling happily, turned his gaze to Lennok.
“The opponent has changed, but I believe he will be fine. This time is to verify your innocence.”
“… … .”
“I don’t think there will be any objection to taking a form that is good for you to judge.”
“Does not matter.”
Lennox responded calmly, too, and returned to his stance.
At best, it would be difficult to utilize 100% of Innocent’s information and martial arts patterns gleaned from the deep web, but
if Innocent’s granddaughter was the opponent, it would not be different from dealing with Innocent’s own subordinates.
If that’s the case, it’s more likely that Lennok will do well in the next match.
Lennok’s eyes sank deeply as he looked at Caria.
“If you are ready, I want to start quickly. How much time do you need?”
Lennok wants to finish the test quickly before the effect wears off.
However, Caria seemed to take Lennok’s words as a kind of provocation.
Caria, who twitched her lips, slowly turned her head and opened her mouth.
“Wizard. It’s not that I don’t understand why she’s naturally arrogant with such a talent, but-”
The magical energy around Caria’s body began to vibrate greatly.
Whoops!!
“If you don’t want to die, you’d better focus on me now.”
Caria declared with a cold face.
“I’m not good enough to control my strength against a half-punch like you, like my grandfather… … !!”
The essence of intention that had wrapped around Caria pounded the ground and increased its speed.
thump thump thump!!
With three roaring steps, Caria’s body turned into a flash of light.
A sharp anticipation rushing in an oblique line as if passing by.
However, Lennok twisted his knees and shoulders in different directions on the spot, lowering his center of gravity on the spot.
Right after that, Caria’s first attack barely brushes her back.
Lennok laughed at Caria’s startled expression as she stopped at close range.
“It’s not bad to try to provoke, but I think you should think of a more radical word.”
“… … !!”
“The word ‘half penny’ isn’t really that wrong.”
“How long can you relax like that… … !!”
As Caria’s hot hand draws a semicircle in the air, it sweeps Lennok in all directions at the same time and disappears.
ugh… … .!!
A series of attacks that unleash dozens of hits at once at close range.
The hand shaking in front of my eyes was slow enough to be seen with the naked eye, but the resulting attack and defense rivaled the speed of sound.
The mystery of the approaching gap with the speed of the beginning and the end wide apart like the sky and the earth.
The difference in speed turned into a white flash in front of Lennok’s eyes and rained down like a rain of fire.
Doo doo doo!!!!
In the middle of the white flames bursting out without rest, Lennok also moved his body by manipulating the magician in a trance.
You will never be able to endure it if you simply avoid and accept it.
You know you won’t reach it, but you have to step out and stretch out to secure space to twist and survive.
Karia, who twisted her shoulders as she sprinted, and Lennok’s new model, who leaned forward, crossed on the spot.
Kagagak!!
Every time she moves her body, Caria’s movement, which rushes at the same speed as a flash, is splendid and dazzling.
However, despite this, Caria’s face as she looked at Lennok somehow hardened, and
the gazes of the warriors who admired her movements gradually moved away from him and toward the wizard.
“How could a wizard go this far against the Karia guards… … .”
“It’s ridiculous. Is this really possible?”
Caria’s line of movement and movement are flawless even for warriors who have honed the martial arts of Turyeonmun throughout their lives.
It would be impossible not to be obsessed with power and not be swept away by the graceful, yet sometimes powerful, attacking combos.
However, the wizard standing in the middle of the offensive was moving his body as if he thoroughly denied the thoughts of the warriors.
I’m going to go to the middle of the day… … !!!
At the same time as manipulating the body using a magician, he twists and drains Caria’s magical power by attaching it to the skin.
Dozens of magicians intersecting around the two of them shrank and expanded, flashing strange flashes and spewing noises that twisted the air.
Caria’s attack, which landed more than a dozen blows in one motion, scattered the mage’s model as if staggering.
In Caria’s head, dozens of thoughts and worries were mixed in an instant, turning into a huge mess.
‘The balance was out of whack from the start. The movement of the body and the line of movement also fall short of standards. And yet… … !!’
As if he had already crossed his limits, he received Caria’s attack with a pallid complexion, but always pushed his body in when needed.
Fierce battles that sway and stagger as if they would break at any moment, while fiercely exchanging battles and defenses.
PABABABAK!!
At a distance close enough to touch each other’s breath, the hands and arms of the two intersect and overlap in a dizzying manner, and are tied from all sides.
Lennok’s body leans between the ghastly hands brushing his neck and temples, and Caria pushes forward.
The expressions on the faces of the two showed completely opposite feelings of superiority and inferiority.
The figure of Caria biting her lips hard and Lennok taking Caria’s workshop expressionlessly without even breathing.
Lennok’s right hand, which received Caria’s fist with his elbow with a clumsy gesture, collided with Caria’s wrist, which rotated in a semicircle almost at the same time.
Crunchy!!
They came to a precise stop at the same time as each other’s arms bounced off each other.
Lennok stopped in front of Caria’s side, and Caria’s hand curled up as if to grab the uvula.
Lennok, who had collapsed on the floor of the half-coffin, murmured with an expressionless face.
“If you continued, would you die instantly from ruptured abdominal organs and amputation of the carotid artery?”
“… … .”
“It’s a less interesting ending than I thought.”
Laughing, Lennok slowly removed his hand and lay down on his bed.
“lost. I don’t have the strength to continue.”
“… … lost? Do you really think so?”
Caria asked with an expression that could not hide her agitation.
Although they only shook hands for a few minutes, Caria noticed that Lennok was a beginner who had never properly learned martial arts.
The way you move your body is just bizarre, and you have no physical sense of what kind of attack you have to counter, counterattack, or give up space.
He only focused on receiving and letting go of attacks by forcibly moving his body by thoroughly relying on his own cognitive ability and fighting.
‘But I almost couldn’t break through.’
If he hadn’t forcibly closed the distance at the last moment and cut off the variables by reducing the options and dragging him into a power struggle, he might have been attacked instead.
For that monstrous wizard, what had just happened was, after all, entertainment to test his abilities.
The moment Caria noticed that, lost her composure and tried to awaken her magical power once more.
mate mate!!
Slow applause echoed from behind the two.
“Excellent.”
Innocence was slowly clapping both hands.
At the same time as beckoning to the other warriors, only Caria and the innocent Lennox remained in the wide coffin.
Lennok, who struggled to stand up, asked while wiping the sweat from his body.
“Is the test over?”
“Can I ask you one last question?”
A young white man crouched in front of Lennok, staring blankly at him.
“I was just convinced. The injuries that afflict your body are serious enough to be critical.”
“… … ”
“Confirming it myself, the rumors are rather colorless. I want to know why you want to learn martial arts with a body like that.”
“… … There is no grandiose reason.”
Lennok grinned as he thought, slowly choosing his answer.
“Because this is the situation, we are trying to find other ways and countermeasures. Do you think there must be another reason?”
The situation is that he was seriously injured in the battle with Madrid Onion.
That information allowed Lennok to openly admit that he was not feeling well without disclosing his penalty.
Judging from Jenny’s reaction, I’m sure that even now that she has taken the Archangel’s Tears, it looks like a dying body to others.
Innocence also accepted Lennok’s condition as something similar and was asking why Lennok wanted to learn martial arts.
“Right… … .”
A look of astonishment that could not be hidden appeared on the face of the innocence as he silently pondered over Lennok’s answer.
“Even with such a body, have you not yet given up your will to rise? You are already a great warrior after all.”
“… … .”
“Transcendent cognitive ability and avoidance close to foreknowledge. Discipline that thoroughly sets the limits of what one’s physical ability can accept, and even the self-contemplation ability that accurately judges the condition even with an injured body.”
Innocent said, standing up slowly from his seat.
“It is the first time for me to have such an extreme case. As a martial arts explorer, it is clear that this case is very interesting and worth studying.”
Those eyes, which had felt cloudy and blurry somewhere, were suddenly regaining their focus.
At this moment of exploring martial arts, the mental problems that plague innocence are also disappearing as if washed away.
“I have never thought of accepting as a disciple someone who has no basic skills, but… … . You have made your decision.”
Innocent stood up from his seat and nodded his head.
“I’ll teach you fighting skills. I will try to pay for this operation with it.”
“Grandpa… … !!”
Caria turned her head away with a startled expression.
“How can the taboo practice, which is not permitted in the main text, be given to outsiders… … !!”
“I’ll explain and talk about what two-in is.”
“Well, it is not a word that refers to such a difficult meaning or form. It might be the most necessary skill for you now. In a word… … .”
Innocent laughed happily at Lennox’s casual question.
“It’s a way to move the body with the mind.”
