Drug-Eating Genius Mage - Chapter 814
Episode 814
Knot (1)
It gets stuck and then stretches out, flashing as if burning for an instant, as if cutting off everything.
Two different and conflicting phenomena surfaced under the same time and space, and the body of the ascendant burned miserably.
“…!!!”
Roaring!!
The body of the arrival, which could not be touched by any imagery or magical power, is surrounded by dark lightning and crumbles.
“Ah…”
Do-rae gazes in disbelief as the connection between body and soul is severed and disappears, then
looks back at the sanctuary of infinity turning and distorting with an indescribable expression,
gets angry and sad, and clings to lingering regret. I trembled my shoulders without knowing.
“…Right.”
At the end, he smiled bitterly as if he had accepted everything.
The will that Lenok used at the end is not a force that only cuts the connection between matter and matter.
body and soul. belief and will. faith and commitment.
Even though we cannot touch with our hands or see with our own eyes, emotions and thoughts that are clearly present and present there.
A heretical power that cuts off the heart itself.
A long time ago, Ascendant Dorae died and was enshrined in the dark, and the only thing that moved his body was his lost soul.
That’s why Lennok cut off even the lingering feelings with his own hands and brought peace to Do-rae.
Even if that rest is something he does not want.
thud!!
Without even thinking about holding on to the body that slowly knelt down and scattered and disappeared.
Dorae quietly looked back at Lennok and murmured.
“You were the one who reaped in your own way the seeds the cult leader sowed.”
“…”
Did he understand something while accepting the thought of destroying his body at the last moment?
Do-rae’s face, which was filled with hatred and regret for the leader, was wrapped in an uneasy calm.
“Is he trying to make his own answer by taking a different possibility that he didn’t choose… It’s ironic.”
The existence of Dorae is a transcendent fruit that was completed through a deal with the cult leader and established as an ascendant.
However, Lennok used the divergence point that the leader had not chosen and smashed the leader’s bowl from the front.
Dorae understood that this was Lennok’s answer to him only after all these battles were over.
A meaning that I couldn’t think of when I hated it with all my heart and was angry.
Even while Do-rae was doing his best against Lennok, Lennok was trying to convey meaning to him.
I feel somewhat relieved because that fact seems to explain the difference between me and the sorcerer standing over there.
The answer of the investigator who obtained a meaning that is different from that of the religious leader but comparable to him.
Watching it and making the ending yourself is ironically more comfortable than ever.
Dorae understood what Lennok wanted and was waiting for the ending.
“To think that he had already achieved that much fruit without challenging the ascension…”
As the body of the ascendant slowly disperses and disappears, even that whisper fades a little.
However, even in the midst of that, Dorae turned his head towards Lennok and muttered with a dazed expression that lost focus.
“We have not seen… you yourself…”
Eternal extinction. true death.
Even in front of the end that came after a fight, I try to hold on to my will to hear the next one somehow.
An incomprehensible longing to hear the ending.
An innate nature that never gave up on that wish even beyond death.
That must have been why, even at the moment of his death, Dorae could not let go of his lingering feelings and accepted the religious leader’s proposal.
That’s why Lennok also answered Dorae.
“I’ll have to build up a level comparable to this world and come up with an answer myself.”
“…”
“That’s how I…”
said Lennok, slowly turning his gaze toward the arrival.
“I’m going to start by standing in the same place as the religious leader.”
What would have been the result if he had dealt with Dorae with his unique magic, which he used as a fastidious person?
If it is the power of lightning that has been together for the longest time, Lennok is confident that he will never be defeated even against Dorae.
But even so, the reason why he dared to risk his life and gamble on creating a warrior’s supernormal ability.
It was because he acknowledged the fact that he could not move forward without understanding where the leader stood in the end.
Qualification to go through and convince the whole world of one’s answer.
Unexplored scenery that must be achieved by giving up and abandoning something completely different from what it has been so far.
Obviously, that doesn’t mean that you’ll become much stronger than you are now, or that you’ll be perfected as a better being.
Rather, it may be a state that can be reached only by destroying, crumpling, and crushing oneself so that even the original form is not left.
But even so, I know that those who succeeded before Lennok certainly did.
I was convinced that I couldn’t even start without standing in the same place as them.
“…okay. It might be different for you.”
As if Dorae had finally heard the answer he wanted, he raised a hazy smile.
“We all couldn’t reach it…”
Kuung!!
Do-rae’s body, unable to finish speaking, slowly loses its balance and collapses.
The moment when the body disappears and turns into a handful of ashes, and even the cause and effect accumulated in the body is completely closed and disappears.
Even so, he kept looking into Lennok’s eyes until the very end.
As if he wanted to check the beyond that he could not reach and understand instead.
Lennok’s new model, which was looking at such an appearance, collapsed on the spot powerlessly.
Pachik Pachik…!!
The dark thunderbolt that flowed through his body disappeared, and the imagery in the kaleidoscope also disappeared.
After the miracle of being able to confront the Ascendant head-on after obtaining the turning point to become the Apostle of Harmless disappeared.
The recoil surged through Lennok’s body a step later.
blah blah blah!!
“…Cool!!”
It’s hard to breathe, so all I can do is cough. A sharp pain that cannot be hidden by the medicinal effect rises through the body.
The blood soaked on the shadow robe dripped like tears.
The tingling tinnitus as if digging into the ear and the sight that lost focus and was dyed red.
I feel like I’m about to lose consciousness as my whole body runs out of energy and I’m about to collapse on the spot.
Lennok, who had been sitting blankly watching the dripping blood, struggled to open his mouth and let out a voice.
“Ah…”
I am not even sure if I am raising my voice properly even though I am vibrating my vocal cords.
A feeling of loss, as if the senses themselves were completely dislocated and lost their direction.
Gwangramu Haegung is the possibility of a madman who chose a turning point as an apostle that Lennok would never choose.
Therefore, while it is heterogeneous and powerful, its recoil is also designed to inflict serious damage.
Even the turning point used this time was the realm developed after directly starting the apostle selection ceremony with the help of the priestess.
As it is a kaleidoscopic image that is strongly influenced by Lennok’s own experiences,
the power of Gwangramu Haegung, which was developed even through the ceremony of selecting apostles, was much stronger than before.
That’s why I was able to try the crazy thing of carrying out a head-on hand-to-hand combat against the body of the Ascendant.
Conversely, the cost of using the power of a non-existent apostle was also severe.
Madness that should never have invaded Lennok’s mind.
The power of the sea, which should not have eaten away at his body, rages wildly between spirit and body and tries to devour him.
“haha…!!”
Saaak…!
Wheein!!
Kagak Kagak Kagak!!
I hear whispers of unknown meaning in my ears and hallucinate as if something is being stroked on my skin.
The clock trembled in front of my eyes and the disgusting stench of burning corpses lingered at the tip of my nose.
If the incarnation had been chosen as an apostle and not shared the recoil of the realm, it wouldn’t be strange if he lost consciousness and collapsed on the spot.
In the meantime, Lennok raised his trembling hand and stretched it out toward the place where Dorae’s body fell.
“Retrieve…”
The arrival got an answer and disappeared, but the body of the ascendant was destroyed and the ashes remained.
Even if we cannot fully recover the original form, we must secure the remnants left behind by extinction.
After moving the shadow robe to retrieve the ashes, Lennok clung to the magician and forcibly stood up.
thud!
“…!!”
Rolling helplessly between the cursed candles that lit up the cathedral, he stood up and fell over and over again.
But Lennok continued to look back at the collapsing Mugan even as he was sweating profusely.
‘I can’t see the priestess.’
Even after the battle, Seina Naidri, the priestess of the church, is nowhere to be seen.
Surely, even when the selection ceremony began, the soul that somehow held on to that being disappeared with all its remaining strength.
I turned the swaying magic sensor and moved slowly, scanning the sanctuary of infinity.
Guguaguagua!!!
A decisive battle against the arrival of the Ascendant. Due to the impact that penetrated all of Mugan, this sanctuary is shaking so precariously that it can no longer survive.
If you lose consciousness here and pass out, you will be thrown without any action into the middle of the spirit world, where the living cannot stay.
‘The main gate of Mugan leading out of the memorial tower. That’s the only way out left.’
Two passageways connecting the Sanctuary of Infinity, the main gate and the reverse gate.
Unlike the reverse gate that Lenok used to enter the darkness, the front gate located on the opposite side is directly connected to the stairs of the memorial tower.
If you find the main gate in the Sanctuary of Infinity, you should be able to use it to go directly to the Memorial Tower.
“haha…!!”
I struggled through the piles of fragments and chains of the huge throne that had completely collapsed.
He tumbled helplessly between the candles and walked in the opposite direction of the station door through which Lennok himself had passed.
That moment when he finally arrived at the end of the Sanctuary of Infinity, where the main gate was supposed to be located.
Hard!!!
“….”
I witnessed a man standing in the blazing flames smashing and destroying the crack that was presumed to be the front gate of Mugan.
The figure of a man who glances back here while burning his whole body on a candle burning in the dark.
The moment he realized that it was the ghost lord who tried to take over the body of the arrival, the monarch spoke in a calm tone.
“I can’t believe it when I see it.”
“…”
His voice seemed to be immersed in faint wonder.
“A mere human… can fight and defeat the remains of an Ascendant. Are you saying that was a miracle granted to mortals?”
I thought it disappeared along with the awakening of the memory of arrival, but did it remain without disappearing?
no, not on that level.
The presence of the monarch who now burned his spiritual body in the flames of the curse was growing bigger and bigger.
Lennok looked at it and coughed hard.
“What… are you trying to do?”
“It is to properly preserve this sanctuary that you Transcendentalists ruined.”
The monarch replied as he looked at his spiritual body burning in the flames of the curse.
“At this rate, the sanctuary will lose its balance and sway, eventually collapsing. So I will become the curse itself and reorganize this sanctuary into an independent realm.”
“Would you burn yourself in the flames of a curse and sublimate even your own soul into a curse?”
Lennok shook his head.
“This is crazy. Attempting to do so would not leave your soul intact.”
The monarch does not intend to fight Lennok or kill him right now.
It’s just trying to block all the passages leading to the outside in order to become a curse that imprisons itself.
It must be a process of processing and thoroughly altering one’s own existence for a very long time.
Maybe I won’t be able to wake up again in this spot.
Cuguaguagua!!
Even during this time, the Sanctuary of Infinity is violently collapsing, and the appearance of the cathedral spread out in all directions is gradually disappearing.
Even the vague candlelights of the curse that illuminated the sanctuary fell and disappeared one by one through the cracks in the collapsing sanctuary.
“After becoming one with Mugan, I might be a completely different existence than before.”
A strange smile seemed to form on the monarch’s lips as he glanced back at Lennok.
“It’s unfortunate for you, but you should be with me forever in this place and become a heroic spirit protecting the sanctuary.”
The reason why the monarch did not waver even after the plan to take Dorae’s body failed.
That’s probably because the ruler himself became a curse subject to infinity and planned to metamorphose as a completely new being.
In the process, he thought it would be perfect if he could tie Lennok’s existence here.
“Who do you want?”
But Lennok laughed at the monarch’s words and struggled to push his hand into his bosom.
The limit was to arrive here with a body that had been damaged by the recoil of the magnetic realm. It is impossible to find a new way out.
Unlike when he first entered Mugan, Lennok was completely exhausted and exceeded his limit.
The point came when either side had to gamble one more time to survive.
Click!
I groped my hard fingertips, where my senses had hardened, and took out a dark red ring.
A deadly drug that forcibly injects magical energy into the body in exchange for reducing the life expectancy of the user.
Originally, it was an item made by diluting poison that was created to force the magic power of the target out of control.
It was a method prepared for when Lennok himself was in such a state of disrepair that he could not properly handle his mana.
‘Dose…’
Reduced the size of the medicine to the limit.
Only take off enough to maintain the chant without losing consciousness.
According to the will of the monarch, before the Sanctuary of Mugan is completely isolated, the area is expanded one last time to escape this place.
If you can develop the False Commandment and find a way to the material world, you should be able to escape infinity before you die.
The moment Lennok brought the short pill he had removed into his mouth.
[No.]
A muffled voice echoed from behind.
[I’ll do it here.]
Aaaaaaa!!!
The boundary between infinity where even the cursed candle loses its light and darkness descends little by little.
A flash of light burst forth from beyond that, so intense that even Lennok squinted his eyes.
A clear, pure white flash.
The dazzling light of faith scattered around the spiritual body of the priestess who prayed with her hands clasped together.
The soul of the priestess, Seina Naidri, stood swaying precariously, as if it would disappear at any moment.
“Sena?”
She didn’t respond to Lennok’s muttering.
He just silently got down behind Lennok and whispered softly while putting his hands on his shoulders.
[Transfer of Sanctuary access. Reorganization of the selection ceremony. Sharing of the magic circuit.]
“…What?”
[In the name of Nydri, the 10th member of the Guido Church, I will transfer the priestly authority to you from now on.]
