Drug-Eating Genius Mage - Chapter 952

The Medicine-Taking Genius Wizard Episode 952

Prohibition (7)

Shuuu…!!

A rainbow-colored brilliance flashed beyond the swaying and dancing veil.

A library filled with the smell of old books. A wave of cold thoughts spreads through the fallen bookshelf.

The personal laboratory of cartel president Oliveira Ron Maze.

In the area controlled by the level 8 archmage, Lennok stood in front of him, dragging Feisha with him.

[Regardless of your nature, I have never thought of you as someone who takes promises lightly.] An

intense eye glow came through the veil, and Oliveira’s screams rang out coldly.

[I guess I misread you because I had to get a raise in just a few days.]

“No, I saw it right.”

Lennok, who put his hand in his coat, smiled and shook his head.

“If I hadn’t planned on keeping the deal, I wouldn’t have come to see you like this after the meeting.”

[….]

“You must have heard that the church moved to attack the satellite city and that Anathema was reduced to the status of the Six Apostles.”

Slam!!

Lennok said as he spread his armored wings to block the magic eye light and at the same time pushed the fallen Feisha back.

“If variables that were not discussed in advance affected performance, wouldn’t the transaction terms also need to be adjusted?”

“Get out of my way!!”

Faisha, who recognized that the ironclad wings Lenno was handling were Gilleon’s, cursed and struggled.

Faisha, unable to overcome the power of her wings, was pushed helplessly and rolled around on the floor.

“The wings are still there… wow…!!”

Feisha, who was glaring at Lennok with a murderous gaze, could not hold back her pout and lowered her head.

Only bitter gastric juice mixed with blood flowed down from a stomach that had not eaten anything.

Lennok glanced back at that figure and was lost in thought.

‘I expected it, but it’s worse than I thought.’

Although he saved Feisha’s life by feeding her a piece of Anathema’s horn, he only prevented her from losing her life due to the reaction of the gold.

It is difficult to say that even high-ranking superhumans have completely suffered the harmful effects of the prohibition that leads to death.

The reason Feisha was able to survive was probably because she herself had extremely strong physical abilities.

This may be because the secret mentioned in violation of the prohibition was Ethan’s purpose, not Kaise’s.

[Yes… I heard that Anameta couldn’t overcome her greed and took the hand of the church.]

Oliveira shed a cold cynicism.

[It was a story so bad that it was so pitiful that it made me lament.]

“Is that the only way you felt after hearing about the commotion that happened all night?”

Lennok laughed.

“I thought I would get a more meaningful answer about the nobles of Arsnova.”

[Considering his hypocrite nature, this is not surprising.]

Oliveira snorted.

[He had no interest in humans even during the civil war. I just performed good deeds obligatory like a machine.]

“….”

[This was probably my last chance, so how could I be satisfied with just a brief incarnation? It would be impossible for a man who valued his time so much to lend a hand in something as grandiose as the reproduction of a curtain.]

The light shining through the veil curved as if he was smiling.

[It wouldn’t be strange if it wasn’t clearly visible to those who were on the same side. He probably doesn’t have the same eyes as me.]

“You know that, but you entrusted me with the job without any explanation.”

[The explanation was insufficient? I can’t agree with that.]

Oliveira tilted her head to one side and smiled lazily.

[Cause and effect that resulted in a contradiction in the twist of fate. If I had said this to a sensitive magician like you, he would have understood my consideration the moment he met Anathema.]

It’s not wrong.

If Oliveira, who was bound by gold, wanted to talk about the essence of Anathema, such an explanation would have been the best.

Rather, the fact that she was able to explain it to Lennok was proof that she was benefiting from Chilchaebo’s magical eyes.

“yes.”

But Lennok smiled even though he knew that.

“That’s why I’m saying we need to change our deal with you.”

[….]

“When we killed Anathema, who had become an apostle, and recovered her body, our efforts became too much.”

Lennok’s eyes shone sharply as he tilted his head and massaged his shoulders.

“The original deal was not to kill Anathema and retrieve her body, but to take some of her body parts. “Originally, you would have had to be satisfied with whatever body part I brought.”

No matter how meticulous and elaborate Oliveira’s plan was, he would never have thought that Lennok would return by killing Anathema himself.

Therefore, at the time of the transaction, it may have been thought that any part of his body was okay, but the situation has changed.

From Lennok’s point of view, who has obtained Anathema’s body, there is no reason to hand over control of the transaction to Oliveira.

“Of course, I have no intention of handing over Anathema’s body in its entirety. “You know, right?”

Lennok crossed his arms and nodded.

“Which of Anathema’s body parts will be handed over has not been discussed. “We’ll have to set conditions again for that part.”

[What a cocky bastard.]

Oliveira’s eyes turned cold.

[Are you trying to make a joke about the price of the transaction with me?]

“It’s not because we want to change the set conditions, but because we need to adjust the parts that haven’t been agreed upon.”

Lennok was unfazed by Oliveira’s harsh words.

“Didn’t you also find out that I had business in Kundara and offer me something in return?”

[….]

The deal proposed by Oliveira to obtain Anathema’s cause and effect was the result of her finding out Lennok’s purpose and presenting it.

The reason he accepted the deal was because information about Kundara was so important to Lennok, but

now that he has taken control of the deal, there is no reason not to point out that fact.

Oliveira also immediately read Lennok’s intention and let out a cold laugh.

[There is no way to get over everything smoothly. This is why I have tried to avoid borrowing your talent.]

“I have a very different opinion on that.”

Lennok laughed.

“I thought this was a very moderate solution.”

The reason the transaction with Oliveira was different from before was because the unprecedented situation occurred in which Anathema became an apostle.

Of course, there is no way Oliveira was aware of it or planned it in advance.

Since he did not intentionally try to gain more benefits from Lennok than necessary, Lennok only limited himself to adjusting the terms of the transaction.

If Oliveira had decided to use Lennok, he would have started by destroying the cartel headquarters.

[Hehe… Good. Now I don’t even get that angry that you say such harsh things in front of me.]

Kiiiiing…!!

As Oliveira said that, her magical eyes flashed with such intensity that they could not even be compared to before.

With Oliveira’s cold words, there was silence in the lab.

[In any case, it is true that you declared victory over Anathema. I’m sure it exceeded my expectations in that regard.]

Oliveira, leaning forward with her arms crossed behind the veil, said slowly, withdrawing her thoughts.

[Considering his disposition, he must have been thinking of giving himself up before his defeat was confirmed, but should I say that he took his life? He is a guy who is skilled at fighting back and forth.]

“Are you saying that as a compliment?”

Lennok responded as if he was shocked, but shook his head.

“If I hadn’t met a few special conditions, I wouldn’t have won so cleanly. “I also received help in the process of killing Anathema.”

Apart from Anathema’s own outstanding military power, there is no need to say how powerful the power of the Six Apostles is to assimilate with the earth and reduce damage by half.

If we were to look at the value of the ability alone, it felt like the damage reduction ability was overwhelmingly superior to the apostle magic that manipulates the earth.

Didn’t Anathema know that too, so she fought against 8th level superhumans without even assuming her own death, let alone defeat?

There were two decisive factors that led to his death.

That Lennok is a wizard who can chant a strategic level destruction technique while engaging in hand-to-hand combat with an apostle.

It was in the fact that a transcendent person with the power of inevitability helped.

It would have been difficult for Anathema to properly guess either factor, so his defeat was a foregone conclusion.

Therefore, Lennok also did not feel very impressed by the battle with Anathema.

The really important thing for Lennok happened after Anathema died.

“So, would you agree to adjust the terms of the deal?”

[…Not listening.]

Oliveira folded her arms and tilted her head back.

[However, you should know that this is not because I give in to your argument, but because I highly value what you did at the summit.]

“….”

[I have been taking this into consideration since I borrowed your talent, so I too. [Don’t forget to take losses.]

Oliveira’s cold message is evidence that she is currently enduring Lennok’s words with difficulty.

If it were her nature, she would not have even interacted with the person who suggested a change in business to her like this.

However, there is a part of her that feels that there is nothing she can do about it because of what she did to Lennok in this transaction.

“The first condition concerns the safety of Feisha Grisburn.”

Lennok responded, turning his gaze to the side.

The image of Feisha kneeling and vomiting with both arms chained.

“Because I fed you a piece of Anathema’s horn, I couldn’t use it in your experiment. Anathema’s causality will no longer save this man’s life.”

“….”

“So, we are going to retrieve your identity from here.”

[They say they are trying to take back Feisha Grisburn’s personal security…]

Oliveira tilted her head to the side.

There was a subtle sneer in her gaze as she looked at Lennok.

[It seems like he liked that mad dog. Are you really going to use a crazy dog to protect your house now?]

“The hierarchy has been ruined and we have become half-penny, but there is some use for it.”

Lennok chuckled as he watched Feisha writhing in a fit when he tapped her shoulder.

“I didn’t expect it at all, but there are some things that make sense.”

[well. I have no intention of making your life comfortable that easily.]

Oliveira’s magical eyes, looking down at Feisha, glowed eerily.

[That woman is a traitor who betrayed Kaise and fled to the central front. As much as insulting and belittling others, the karma listed in the title is also a heavy sin.]

“….”

[Even if it is not a matter of bypassing the prohibition using the cause and effect of Anathema, there are many ways to use it in my experiment. ]

“under! “Do whatever you want.”

Not to be outdone, Feisha gritted her teeth and raised her gaze.

“Do you think you’ll be scared if I scare you like that? If you want to kill me, kill me. “What a pointless threat…!!”

“It’s not a threat. “Greaseburn.”

Lennok said with an expressionless face.

“Oliviera, once the experiment is over, you will be discarded. “I don’t think they had any intention of keeping you alive for long after they took care of you.”

“what?”

“It is inevitable that you will be exposed to the outside world from the moment you are sent to the meeting. “The generals of Deadrise must also have noticed your survival.”

Faisha momentarily flinched her shoulders under Lennok’s cold gaze.

“Of course, wouldn’t the Legion try to eliminate any inconvenience by killing them before they move?”

“….”

“But it’s a different story if you hand over your personal life to me. “The Legion command will want to check if you have joined hands with me.”

“That’s not even funny. There is no way the headquarters would hesitate to make a decision because of something like that…!!”

“well. Is that really the case?”

Lennok laughed.

“At least the captains I met were not superhumans free from personal emotions.”

[….]

“…you.”

Oliveira was silent and Feisha gritted her teeth.

“Anyway, the conditions I would like to propose are as follows. “I have the ability to put a leash on this murderer, and I also have the ability to use it more conveniently.”

Lennok, ignoring Feisha’s words, turned his gaze towards Oliveira.

“A high-level superhuman who is not burdened even if he is literally thrown away as an expendable item could be a valuable force. Do you agree?”

[Not really.]

Oliveira replied indifferently.

[But I understand that you are not planning on taking him to pamper you. That’s it.]

“Then-”

[I don’t hear about the other conditions. But this will have to be the last time.]

Oliveira cut off Lennok and said, leaning back leisurely.

[If your work is not that important to you, this would be the reason you asked for a change in the terms of the deal. What do you want from me?]

“…I told you, but I don’t expect that much in return.”

Lennok laughed.

“I would like to ask just one more thing so that you can more clearly adhere to the terms of this transaction.”

[You were talking about cooperating with Kundara’s work?]

Oliveira sneered.

[I admit that it was my mistake to use the secret that was hidden, but I have no intention of cheating in return for getting what I wanted.]

“….”

[You are not a great person to overlook such insensitivity either. Why are you trying to get a definite answer from me now?]

“It’s because heading to the Abyssal City may be such an important matter.”

Lennok answered, stroking his chin.

“Anyway, I need confidence. This is even more so if the process of entering Kundara requires many complicated procedures.”

[I’m sure. Yes, say it.]

Oliveira snorted.

[What do I have to give to give you that confidence?]

“It’s simple. It’s not that difficult for you either.”

Lennok grinned.

The wizard’s raised hand was pointing precisely at the shaking seal beyond the veil.

“All you have to do is accompany me to the outer world city.”

[…what?]
