Drug-Eating Genius Mage - Chapter 855
＃Medicine Genius Wizard Episode 855
Handover (23)
After hearing about the Demon Giant’s abilities from Black Visor, Lennok was quite interested in the undefeated contract.
Hell of a deal. Undefeated contract. What is the power not to be defeated?
Is it the power of causal reversal that forcibly overturns a predetermined victory or defeat?
Or is it the power that stops the turning point where victory or defeat is decided and maintains the state of antagonism?
A somewhat unfamiliar concept to Lennok, who had fought against all kinds of superhumans and monsters and aimed only at victory.
However, if an Aegis superhuman does not hesitate to bring it out in front of Lennok, it is definitely not a supernormal ability that is limited by the size of its power.
Therefore, after taking away the demon giant, Lennoc planned to test its abilities against Aegis, but –
“I don’t think it can even be tested like this.”
Tduduk!!
[Ugh…!!]
The yellow visor, which was held in the giant’s sharp, curved grasp like a rake, falls helplessly to the ground.
Next to him, other members who had been swept away by the demon giant first lay lying down.
The appearance of a devil shaking his head as if he had no choice, with one hand on his head.
Lennok, who was watching the strange movements of the devil who seemed to be intoxicated with his own power, sighed and shook his head.
“Do you mean that in order to avoid defeat, you have to get into a situation where defeat is possible? “I didn’t expect this.”
The demon giant’s own weight class is so strong that the exhausted Aegis crew cannot satisfy the activation conditions.
They are not even a match for superhumans who have expended a considerable amount of energy to break through the fortifications of not only research centers but also power generation facilities.
[On the other hand, we also want to ask how this is possible.]
The jade-colored visor quietly answered, clutching his twisted wrist.
[What the executioner uses is a golden magic that brings out more power than a vessel among black magic.]
“….”
[I stand here prepared to give up my life, but how can you control that devil without even a simple contract? Is that right?]
I tried to answer calmly, but the gaze of the jade visor could not even meet Lennok properly.
Because during the series of disturbances that went from the research lab to the power plant, I realized how dangerous that wizard was.
‘Being able to talk is not a good sign…’
A magic that has reached the level of mortality. A transcendental ability that allows one to freely wield even non-magical power as if it were one’s own.
Infinite chants with no limits, even combat experience that far surpasses that of the superhumans gathered here.
But more than anything, what makes Shim Roe dangerous is that he is a being who can have normal conversations and express emotions.
Lightning is not trapped in his own world like other wizards or looks down on humans like bugs.
Even though he stands at the center of the commotion, chasing blood and fighting, his eyes calmly look around and perceive everything clearly.
Place, situation, conditions and environment. They even select people regardless and assemble the boards as they wish.
Evidence that you have the self-control to listen, be patient, and communicate for a purpose even if it means sacrificing efficiency or time.
In Ok-Saek’s opinion, it was a much more dangerous form of madness than running wild without regard for direction.
I think I can understand why the Senate, which is shrouded in mystery, tried to intervene and mediate the situation by directly sending someone to announce its position.
As the agent’s director warned, and as city council officials expressed the same sentiment, there is an eerieness there that cannot be explained by blood-stained notoriety alone.
While seemingly asking about black magic, the jade-colored visor quickly took stock of his position and was thinking about his future treatment.
Whoop!!
Her and the other Aegis members’ bodies were pushed backwards on the spot.
[Ugh…!!]
“I didn’t want to use drastic measures, but I had no choice.”
In an instant, Lennok, who had pushed aside the other members and was left with only the black visor, stretched out his hand.
Black Visor, who had been standing still, was pulled out in front of Lennok at the gesture of his hand.
“Come closer.”
[…!!!]
Even though his stomach must have been twisted because he was forced to cancel the development of his imagery, he endured it without a single scream.
The moment Lennok tapped the helmet with the black visor that was barely maintaining its balance.
Wow!!
The visor popped off, revealing the face of a young man with wet black hair.
A sharp face covered in blood, as if he had vomited blood. Perhaps because of the pain, cold sweat flows down my face.
Without even looking at the young man’s face, Lennok placed the chain hanging from the giant’s arm over the young man’s neck.
Slam!!
The moment when the young man frowned at the chains that were chained like shackles and the demon giant shrugged his shoulders.
“Make a contract.”
“…what?”
“Originally, you were going to sign a contract with interest, right? “Just finish it.”
Lennok said that and stretched his left hand into the air.
“Undefeated superpower. “If it is impossible to satisfy the conditions through the power of others, I plan to experiment myself.”
The spiral thunderbolt that rose through the fingertips suddenly began to twist desperately in the air and glow.
Among Lennok’s unique lightning-type magic, it is a destructive magic that ranks high in terms of anti-personnel power.
[Lightning Death]
I’m going to fall in!!!!
A blue light that turns the sight bright blue, as if it could burn the young man at any moment.
The screams and shouts of the crew could be heard from all directions.
“It’s useless.”
But the young man gritted his teeth and glared at Lennok’s face.
“Once the contract is over, it is impossible for me to get it back. “Either way, it will be a dog’s death.”
The dark evil giant summoned through a deal from hell is not a being that fully follows the young man’s control.
If the devil changed his stance because he liked Lennok, that would be the end of it.
Even though the young man is the subject of the summoning, he cannot go against the devil’s will and retrieve the contract.
“You have the guts to say it’s a dog’s death even when you think you’re going to die.”
Lennok chuckled.
“But that’s not what I told you.”
“…what?”
The moment the young man asked a question, he felt the chain around his neck respond strongly.
The demonic giant standing behind Lennoc was trying to draw out his power by making a contract with the young man of his own will.
That was the moment when the young man’s expression wavered for the first time when he realized that Lennok’s words were a direct command to the devil, not to himself.
Lenok grabbed the lightning bolt twisting in the air and slammed it straight into the young man’s solar plexus.
Paaaaaa!!!
The bright blue lightning on the front and back of the upper body rotated counterclockwise and bloomed like dozens of flower petals.
Every flower petal that blooms contains an enormous amount of heat and division, overwhelming the space and overflowing.
The moment when the Aegis members realized that the body would evaporate without leaving a trace, they tried to move.
The lightning bolt inserted by Lennok was sucked into the young man’s body like a lie and disappeared.
Woe!!
“uh…?”
“Is it gone?”
Even Raphael and Hayward, who had been watching the situation in silence as the unrealistic magic disappeared, muttered as if they were embarrassed.
The intense heat disappeared as if it were a lie, and even the body of the young man who had received the magic appeared to be fine.
But Lennok’s eyes were sparkling with an extremely interesting light.
“It is not extinction.”
“…Cough!”
The young man’s complexion turned swarthy, and he immediately collapsed and lowered his head.
It was as if most of his bodily functions had been paralyzed, and he was barely able to maintain consciousness while shaking his hands.
“It’s not absorption, decomposition, or disintegration. On the contrary, is it a concept close to transference?”
Immediately after Lennok naturally took a step back in front of the young man and muttered.
Woooo!!
A bright blue thunderbolt erupted from the demon giant’s fingertips and exploded into the sky above the control room.
The lightning bolt unleashed by Lennoc exploded from the fingertips of the demon giant one step too late.
Kwaaaaaaaaaa!!!
“Wow!!”
When the unstable power generation facility was completely destroyed and debris fell, Hayward was scared and rolled his body to avoid the debris.
However, Lennok muttered without paying attention to the reactions of those around him.
“The moment it reacts to stimulation above a certain level, it is sent flying to a specific space, eliminating physical damage.”
“Cluck cluck!!”
The chain that was tied to the fallen young man falls and the demon giant withdraws his hand as if he is not satisfied.
Although he briefly made a contract with the young man according to Lennok’s words, he seemed to have no interest in the act itself.
“It’s an alien world that is stable and vast enough to temporarily accommodate my magic…”
Lennok muttered, looking at the chain swinging slowly in the air.
“Is this the concept of hell behind the undefeated contract?”
“Cough!! It’s not like this in the first place…”
The young man responded with a pale complexion, as if he was about to collapse at any moment.
“Your magic was not received from over there, so it was forcibly returned. Because of that, all the reaction-”
“You mean it was focused on you, the subject of the contract. understood.”
Lennok said and nodded.
Undefeated ability. At least I now know why this demon giant’s ability was given that name.
A supernormal ability that sends the stimulus applied to the user into an unknown subspace at the same time as they are hit.
If the caster can use these supernormal abilities at will through a contract, they will not be easily defeated no matter what enemy they face.
However, because the magic fired by Lennok was not properly received, the contractor suffered all the recoil consumed during the transfer process.
Considering that Black Visor called this process itself a hellish contract, it is highly likely that the identity of subspace is a space defined as [hell] in black magic.
So why did Myung always carry this summoned beast with him?
Although the power of the demon giant is strong, Ming is not a wizard so weak that he has to rely on the power of his summons.
Perhaps Myung had some business in the so-called hell, a subspace that was transferred through the supernormal abilities of the demonic giant.
Lennok, who was lost in thought, suddenly gestured lightly toward the back.
Wow!!
“Wow!!”
Raphael and Hayward, who were dragged out with a scream, slipped at the feet of the black visor.
Lennok nodded towards Aegis, who was looking at him in confusion.
“Take him. “I guess this is enough of a reason to retreat, right?”
[…What do you plan to do?]
“I still have work left to do.”
It is true that the lab has done a lot of research on common magic, so I plan to stop by and pick up the data before I go back.
There might be a good idea or theme for creating a new common magic.
[….]
The Aegis members who approached immediately took over Raphael and Hayward’s new recruits.
The crew members slowly disappearing one by one, looking back at Lennok with a wary look.
Just as the last remaining black visor was slowly walking away.
“To say that he was imprinted with black magic means he knows quite a bit about magic.”
Lennok asked.
“Like what you said about imitating an ancient lineage… there is information that you cannot know if you are not from the origin.”
[What do you want to say?]
“Were you a gravekeeper?”
At that moment, the atmosphere of the black visor became infinitely sharper.
A sensitive and sensitive reaction that feels contrary to how I had maintained my cool so far.
Lennok nodded.
“A group of black magicians who worship the King as if he were a god. It is said that the goal is to live in the Black Forest and pass on forgotten techniques. “I’ve met a warlock there once.”
[….]
“I knew it was similar to you and I used very similar magic.”
Baegon, a warlock who called himself a disciple of Ming but was killed by Ming himself.
It originated from a group of warlocks called the Gravediggers. Lennok knew that it was a gathering of people who worshiped Ming.
Black Visor’s extremely in-depth knowledge and experience of black magic.
Lennok sensed that it was not knowledge he had acquired through imprinting, and was wondering where his origins might be.
“If he had originally been a warlock, he would have been able to use the magic more freely than others, even if it was an engraved spell.”
Lennok said, taking out a new piece of tobacco from his pocket and biting into it.
“I think that the exceptionally powerful superhumans within Aegis increased their strength through a similar process.”
[…What does that have to do with a wizard like you?]
“I have business with the warlock whom the gravekeepers worship.”
Lennok answered leisurely.
“I want to know where to go to meet them.”
[….]
It’s been a long time since he knew Myung, but Lennok doesn’t actually know much about him.
That he was a very powerful warlock, that he had lived for a very long time, and that he was once one of the noblest bloodlines on this continent.
How did you come into Pandemonium and why do you commit destruction in the name of Gavihang?
They have no idea why they are following the leader’s wishes or where and what they are doing.
Therefore, if you need to meet someone, it would be better to find traces of them somewhere else rather than in Pandemonium.
And Lennok thought it was highly likely that the gravediggers knew about the whereabouts of the deceased.
Those who worship Ming like a god, believe in it and uphold it, would at least have a detailed understanding of Ming’s activities.
However, the black visor stared at Lennok and then shook his head with difficulty.
[You are mistaken. I am no longer a gravedigger. I have no connection with them anymore.]
“What about the gravekeepers’ whereabouts?”
[They stay in the Black Forest, but it is only for external activities. They are vagabonds who wander without an enemy in one place.]
“….”
[There is not much I can say or know about them. But…]
Black Visor hesitated and answered.
[If it is the sanctuary where King Myeong first began his temporary flight, I might be able to meet the gravediggers.]
“The sanctuary of temporary flight?”
[I don’t know the specific location. I only heard that it is at the end of the lowest underground level in the Black Forest.]
“Hmm…”
It is the end of the underground level. There is a high possibility that it is related to the concept of hell that Lennok just experienced.
For now, should we be satisfied with finding a clue to meet Myeong in person?
Lennok, who was pondering, nodded and Black Visor slowly took a step back.
As all of the Aegis members leave the facility, the earth shakes and the building is felt to collapse.
Grumbling!!
Fragments of worn stone and steel framework fell like rain from all directions and hit the floor violently.
However, Lennok did not even think about avoiding the debris falling from the ceiling, and was lost in thought.
Kwaang!!
Lennok looked away as the blackened giant’s forearm, hanging like an umbrella over his head, caught the fragment instead.
“Yes, you were there.”
[….]
Wordlessly, he blocks Lennok’s head with one arm and shrugs, taking the falling rebar fragments instead.
I didn’t know much about it when I encountered it as a summoned beast, but surprisingly, its nonverbal expressions were very clear.
Despite his cruel appearance, I think he has more emotions than I thought.
Kugwagwagwa!!
Lennok was lost in thought as he watched the demon giant take down countless rocks without hesitation.
“What should I do…”
Lennok thought for a moment and immediately shook his head.
“Thank you for making the situation easier, but it will be difficult to get rid of you.”
[…?]
The demon giant tilted his head as if he didn’t understand what was being said.
Black Visor called this a giant of black evil and proof of his undefeated contract.
There is no doubt that it is a summon that is much more powerful than Lennok thought and has unique abilities.
The problem was that this demon did not listen to the summoner’s control and was so powerful that it was not bound by the summoning ritual.
Right now, I’m standing here on Lennok’s side, but it wouldn’t be strange if I changed my mind at any time.
Since we don’t know why the demon giant took Lennok’s side, we can’t ignore the possibility of him becoming an enemy.
“I’m not a warlock, and I’m not versed enough in summoning techniques to keep an ownerless summon for a long time.”
Lennok smiled bitterly and waved his hand.
“If the conservation magic runs out, it will take care of itself. “The caster who summoned you has also left, so there won’t be any problems.”
[…!]
Only then did the demon realize that Lennok was planning to leave him here and grabbed his head with both hands.
[~~~~~!!!]
Twisting his muscular upper body around in a mournful gesture, as if he were letting out a silent scream.
Dabi looked at the strange movement with suspicion from within Lennok’s arms.
[This is neither organic nor inorganic… What is it?]
Sigh.
The demon giant, who was watching, hurriedly grabbed the chain tied to his forearm and carefully placed it on Lennok’s hand.
When Lennok puts it down without holding it, he does not give up and grabs the chain again and places it on his hand.
Clap, clap, clap.
A will so clear that you can tell at a glance that it is telling you to get yourself out of here somehow.
Lennok looked at the scene and said.
“It’s not like there’s no way I can leave you without signing a contract.”
[!!!!]
“However, from now on, you will have to promise to faithfully help me with my work. Is that okay?”
He nods his head hastily and quickly puts the chain tied around my wrist around his neck and pulls it.
Is it an illusion to show one’s intentions more openly than to speak out when one cannot speak?
Lennok smiled meaningfully and stretched out his hand into his arms.
“The contract is concluded. “Shall we start with something light, step by step?”
* * *
Early morning. The lecture building of the Department of Elements at Labatenon University of Magic.
Hundreds of reporters and undergraduate students were buzzing under the normally deserted glass-colored cavity.
The third paper. A private laboratory that has never turned on since public magic was published.
Evan Bylan returned to Labatenon after a few months.
