Drug-Eating Genius Mage - Chapter 960
The Genius Wizard Who Takes Medicine Episode 960
Ban (15)
Time.
Of all the concepts that symbolize change, it is the most relative and standard-free force.
An ability that I have tried so hard to have since I woke up in this world, but I have not yet been able to touch its essence.
The innate ability of the postcheonbagua, which symbolizes all changes in heaven and earth.
Lennok received one of the special powers of the Eight Trigrams from Anathema, and through it, he indirectly learned how to manipulate time.
Although it may not be a magic that fully understands and manipulates the concept of time, this is definitely an ability that captures some part of it.
Wow…!!!
The rapidly rotating beam becomes a luminous halo and emits sharp light.
Lennok thought so in the scenery around him where time began to slow down.
‘Manipulating time through innate ability is close to the actual manipulation of perceived time.’
The front legs of a spider falling from above its head slowly bend, and even the water droplets that pass its cheek stop in midair.
As time passes by slowly, Lennok’s body is also slowing down at the same speed as theirs.
Only Lennok’s consciousness, which activated his innate ability, was flowing normally in an extremely short period of time.
‘At the time of activating this ability, is the speed of consciousness the only force that moves without being affected?’
Did consciousness accelerate ahead of time? Or did everything except Lennok’s consciousness slow down?
The reason why the ability to manipulate time is difficult and difficult is because even the practitioner himself cannot properly perceive the changes.
Because the parties are also standing on a changing timeline, they cannot objectively perceive changes in time.
That may be why the ascended have dealt with perceived time in a way that splits their consciousness infinitely.
The nature of the innate ability of the Bagua Beopjin is no different.
In a way, this ability to manipulate the user’s perceived time to expand cognitive abilities to the limit is close to a deteriorated version of the talent used by the Ascendants.
Isn’t this because this ability that has been passed down through Anathema’s name is an ability that artificially imitates the skills of an ascended person?
As Lennok thought so, his thoughts moved towards the spider web passing before his eyes.
Geek…!!
It is not possible to enjoy the benefits of supernatural abilities by manipulating the body.
To do that, Lennok’s body is only moving very slowly in real time.
What matters is will.
Through his thoughts, he awakens the ability to interfere with the material world and manipulate cause and effect even in infinitely slow time.
If you understand that will is the only standard and unit in changing time, you can stay centered no matter how time changes.
The direction of the hundreds of branches of the web spread by the giant spider slowly changes in slow time.
Lennok’s time of carefully changing the direction and location of the spider web one by one came to an end.
The moment when the power of the innate ability runs out and the speed of time returns to its original state.
All of the webs spread out beneath the spider’s feet went astray and penetrated the spider’s body from all directions.
Papababababat!!
[Kwiiyikik!!!]
The unrealistic result of having your own body pierced by the spider web you pulled out.
In an instant, the spider turned over with its legs and torso stuck in the air, screaming and struggling like crazy.
Creep Creep!!
Every time it struggled to get caught in the spider’s web, the spider’s body began to break into pieces as if it were being torn apart.
The limbs and torso fall into pieces, body fluids and internal organs spilling out on the spot.
In the blink of an eye, Felix looked shocked as he saw the spider’s entire body being dismembered.
“What the hell is this…?”
“What this spider spins is something closer to a magic thread than an ordinary spider web.”
Lennok said, letting the spiderwebs stick to his hands.
“It is not difficult to take away the control authority by infusing my thoughts or magical power.”
“….”
Lennok’s eyes glowed coldly as he looked at the twitching head of the spider with its entire body cut into pieces.
“Once a spider slips from its web, the spider cannot escape from its web.”
[Queeeeeeek!!!]
At that moment, the mouth of the spider, with only the head remaining, jumped up as if in a fit and rushed towards Lennok.
A creepy movement that looks as if it is trying to eat Lennok one last time, spewing out bodily fluids and cobweb fragments.
[Changrye (唱雷)]
It’s so hard!!!
The moment when a thunderbolt exploded from the tip of a finger and struck the head of a spider running towards Lennok.
Hundreds of fragments of thunderbolt exploded inside the spider’s body, tearing the giant body apart.
Ugh!!!
The spider’s body exploded like a thunderbolt and was torn apart, scattering bodily fluids, leg antennae, and internal organs.
“Umm…”
“Kill me cleanly!!!”
Felix covered his beak and Feisha screamed at the sight that made him feel sick just by looking at it.
Lennok calmly reached out among the falling spider corpses and grabbed something.
“found.”
“It was pure bullshit to say that this kid also has a weak stomach.”
“I can’t hear very well because my senses have been blocked. “Look at this.”
Lennok, who turned his back to avoid the rain of bodily fluids, held out something in his hand to the two people.
A five-colored orb that shines brightly even in the middle of a dark power room.
It is a neat and beautiful jewel that was hidden inside the body of an ugly spider.
Felix and Feisha’s expressions changed strangely after checking this.
“This…”
“Is this the treasure that that spider bastard just hid?”
“It’s Naedan.”
Lennok said, tapping the orb.
“It is an object made by condensing and condensing a specific energy of a long-lived spirit creature.”
“….”
“It is usually a very powerful magic condensation that is used as an elixir or catalyst and is often traded at a high price.”
Lennok is a VIP member who buys large quantities of all kinds of catalysts and elixirs from auction whenever he has time.
As he was well-versed in the ingredients of drugs and elixirs, Lennok knew as soon as he saw the spider that there was an inner circle hidden inside its body.
At the same time, I had a intuition that this product was very effective in manufacturing new elixirs and drugs.
However, the reason Lennok showed this inner altar to the two people was not to boast about its purpose.
“It’s a spirit thing… It’s a strange thing.”
Felix tilted his head.
“Let alone whether a spirit being could be born in this environment, it didn’t seem intelligent enough to be a spirit being with inner thoughts.”
A spirit creature is a beast or demon that has gained strength and intelligence by being exposed to a specific energy for a long time.
Basically, it is normal to speak human language without difficulty.
However, the spider that had just been defeated by Lennok did not seem intelligent.
“If you had known how to talk, you would have yelled at us a long time ago for destroying the nest.”
Feisha responded with an expression of annoyance.
“How can a bug have that kind of patience to search without even cursing when its stomach is exploding?”
“I don’t know that far, but it is true that the spider just wasn’t a spirit creature. However, it is also true that even though it is not a spirit creature, it harbors inner thoughts.”
Lennok nodded.
“That was possible because this spider built its own nest in the power room.”
“Is it because they built a nest in the power room?”
“This is because an energy so powerful that a spider, not a spirit creature, could create an internal altar was rising through the power room.”
“….”
“If such energy is coming from the underground water pipe, there must be only one reason, right?”
Felix, who finally understood Lennok’s words, muttered.
“Right. “The place we were looking for is…”
“Anathema’s home is hidden down here.”
Lennok nodded.
“From now on, we will dig under the floor of the power room. “Get ready.”
* * *
The mound collapsed and silt poured down.
The shadows of three people fell at high speed through the sliding dust.
Wow!!
Felix regained his balance in an instant and landed on his feet, looking around with a curious expression.
“I can’t believe there was a space like this hidden under the underground sewer…”
The underground cavity beneath the sewer that the three people have passed through so far.
But what is more surprising is that there is no odor or trace of pollution within this underground cavity.
I felt a sense of discomfort as if the environment itself had completely changed even though I had only dug down about ten meters into the power room floor.
An ornate gate was buried at an angle in one of the walls of such a cavity.
“….”
A strange sight, as if the gate of a huge mansion had been torn off and buried in the dirt.
However, the strong magical energy coming from beyond the door proves that you have not come to the wrong address.
Above all, someone’s name is engraved in old-fashioned cursive on the door.
“Armas von Anathema….”
Felix nodded after reading the name.
“I can’t believe that Anathema’s mansion was buried underground in such a remote outskirt.”
“At the time this mansion was built, it would have been a time when the Balkan area was not as clearly defined as it is now.”
Lennok, coming up behind Felix, explained.
Lennok’s gaze, which was staring at the door, turned cold.
“It is unfortunate that the facility created when the mansion was buried was a sewer… but in a way, it fits well with that death.”
“…I don’t know much about forbidden weapons, but I do know that they are forbidden weapons made from humans.”
Felix, who had been silent, asked.
“I don’t know what kind of human it was made from, so Anathema treated it with so much care.”
“I don’t know much about Geumgi Byeongjang either.”
Lennok answered and stretched out his hand toward the door.
“However, I heard a rumor that the more high-ranking superhumans you use as material, the better you can use their original abilities.”
“….”
The human body is weak, precarious, and easily broken.
Even if you use it as material and process it, it is difficult to make it into an excellent weapon.
However, the taboo weapon was created by overcoming the difficulties of various conditions and immorality that violates the taboo.
It is known that he can literally use the abilities and supernormal abilities that superhumans used during his lifetime.
So, what kind of abilities must a superhuman be used as a material to obtain the power worthy of the name Taboo Weapon?
“The story about the weapon’s ability or origin is not something that can be confirmed right away.”
Lennok’s eyes glowed calmly as he held the doorknob.
“The first priority is to prevent the taboo from falling into the hands of the city government or the Senate.”
To begin with, Lennok does not rely too much on specific artifacts when fighting.
There is still doubt as to whether the forbidden weapon sealed by Anathema is a necessary weapon for Lennok.
However, we are just trying to retrieve the taboo weapon in case it falls into the hands of the city government or the senate.
That is why, instead of urgently dealing with the matter regarding Sergeant Major Keumgi, Lennok also made his move only a few days after the meeting ended.
“I knew it. “You’re giving such boring reasons again.”
Feisha said, giggling.
“If you are going to get such an item and leave it as a waste of time, give it to me. “It might be a weapon better suited to me than a lucky wizard like you, right?”
Lennok completely ignored Feisha’s words and immediately pulled the door handle.
The moment I lightly hit the lifted doorknob against the door, a heavy sound spread through the underground cavity.
thud!!
“….”
The silence that follows.
Just as Felix was about to say something while looking at the door that didn’t react in any way.
Someone’s face appeared beyond the door.
The face of a bizarre man with his eyes closed and bloody tears flowing.
A man screaming like a scream opened his mouth and let out a voice.
=The great outcast. A proud traitor. Flowering of Arsnova. Gold in the center.
“….”
=The house of Armas von Anathema.
“Why are there so many idiot-like epithets?”
Feisha asked in a voice that cracked the door while she was grumbling.
=Are you a guest who visited the mansion at the invitation of a proud noble?
“no.”
Lennok, who was looking at the door with his arms crossed, answered.
“Neither.”
=Then, in order to visit his house, you must go through proper questions and answers.
Moon asked, his voice slow.
=When did Anathema become the fallen morning star in Arsnova?
“I do not know.”
=….
At Lennok’s calm answer, the door fell silent and Felix asked with a puzzled expression.
“half? “Is it okay to answer like that?”
=Then let’s move on to another question.
Moon asked as if singing.
=Who was the opponent who was praised as Anathema’s greatest achievement when he made his military achievements into a song?
“I don’t know.”
=Among the many lives that Anathema saved, who was the one who shouted her gratitude the loudest?
“I do not know.”
=How many statues were erected in honor of Anathema during her six incarnations?
“well.”
=….
Moon closed his mouth and remained firmly silent.
“It’s a question and answer that makes you feel like you’re going to explode from falling into narcissism.”
Feisha, who was listening to Lennok’s answer while laughing in the background, sneered.
“I took a trivial test, and it turned out that it was purely about my own achievements and praise. “It’s also disgusting.”
“….”
“So what should we do now-”
That moment when Feisha grumbled irritably at the silent Lennok. Moon asked with his eyes closed.
=Is Anathema dead?
“….”
= At the point when you couldn’t answer, the curse words of self-loathing, whether life or death, should have broken your will.
The curse that was supposed to be placed in the mansion was not working.
Isn’t this because the caster himself, who was supposed to cast the curse, no longer exists in this world?
“okay.”
Lennok said.
“I killed him.”
=That’s right…
Moon, who was fumbling, spoke slowly.
=Is it true that no one is looking for someone to take over this role anymore?
“….”
=Go in….
Sigh!!
At that moment, the door opened wide and the view of the house unfolded before the group’s eyes.
A wooden hallway stacked with old literature and decorations.
As soon as I opened the door, a thick scent of perfume wafted through me.
“….”
Lennok slowly walked past the door, followed by Felix and Feisha.
“Hey wizard.”
Feisha called out to Lennok and pointed to the stairs.
“I’ll go upstairs and search first, so let me know if you find anything on the first floor.”
“You’re strangely active.”
Lennok asked with a smile.
“Do you even want Anathema’s armor now?”
“Haha, can that be possible?”
Feisha asked back with a crooked smile.
“I don’t think I can fight you just because I have a weapon like that.”
“….”
“It must have been decades since this house was buried, and the perfume smells so strong.”
Feisha glanced away and whispered.
“Just looking at it, it looks like it was sprinkled to hide something. “Just looking at the talking door on the mansion earlier, it’s clear that things are going wrong.”
“Hmm…”
Faisha immediately walked away, leaving Lennok worried.
“Anathema, I was curious about what that hypocrite bastard was hiding. “I know that because he will be walking around first.”
Without waiting for an answer, Feisha disappeared to the second floor in an instant.
Felix, who was looking at her back with a thoughtful expression, muttered.
“When you watch horror movies, things always disappear one by one like this.”
“…Did you really have to start with that analogy?”
“Hmm, I didn’t mean to say that you wanted it to be like that.”
As Feisha said, there is a smell of perfume everywhere in the mansion, but there is nothing unusual to see.
It was an ordinary view of a mansion, even though it was buried dozens of meters underground.
“I don’t feel anything unusual.”
Felix said, looking around with an embarrassed expression.
“The only thing that stands out is that many of the items decorating the home are quite elaborately assembled.”
“It’s not just decorations.”
Lennok said and stroked the drawing room door with one hand.
“Door hinges. Screw parts of window frames. “They are all made through very delicate processes.”
“Do you want to say that it is Armas von Anathema’s hobby?”
“Well…”
Lennok muttered as he looked back at the Mansion.
“Rather than that, I think that even these characteristics may be due to the influence of the forbidden weapon sealed in the mansion.”
“Impact…?”
“I think we’ve covered the first floor, so let’s go up and talk.”
Lennok said and shook his head.
“I think I know roughly where to look.”
“….”
The moment Felix tilted his head, unable to understand Lennok’s words.
Wow!!
The loud sound of glass breaking echoed above the two people’s heads.
Lennok and Felix made eye contact at the same time and immediately moved to the second floor.
“Grisburn?”
“The wizard is here.”
Unlike the first floor, which looked like an ordinary mansion, the second floor had colorful accessories on display in shelves.
The image of Feisha breaking the glass window and holding something in her hand in the middle of such a display case.
As soon as Lennok saw her, he shook his head.
“Is it theft from the start? “There is no answer.”
“What kind of theft is this?”
Feisha screamed and turned around.
She kicked the display stand and smashed it, pointing to the trinkets spilling out.
“Why is robbing someone’s house already considered stealing? “This is loot!”
“That’s because all of Anathema’s assets were transferred to my name.”
Lennok responded with his arms crossed.
“It looks like you’ve already forgotten why you came to retrieve the taboo weapon.”
“….”
“You are now stealing property from the owner.”
“…anyway!! First, look at this!!”
Feisha turned around and pulled something out of the display case.
It was not an ornament, but the shape of a thin, thin thread hanging between them. This is a thread used to connect and hang accessories inside a display stand.
said Feisha, pulling the unbreakable thread and dangling it in a bundle before Lennok’s eyes.
“This is no ordinary thread. “He is a magician.”
“….”
“Really.”
Felix, who realized this fact too late, let out a sigh.
“Nonsense. It’s been decades since the mansion was buried, so how can there be any magic thread left…”
Magic thread is literally a thin thread made of magic power.
Of course, since it is made up of magical power, once all the magical power is gone, it scatters and disappears on the spot.
Nevertheless, the fact that a magician still remains in this house, which has been neglected for over several decades.
Be it a person or an item. Isn’t this possible because the cause of maintaining the magician remains in the mansion?
“The tension is normal. “There is nothing special about the components of a magician.”
Lennok, who received the magic thread from Feisha, pulled it with both hands and said.
Lennok, who was looking down at the magician, nodded.
“However, this magical power belongs to Anathema herself, not someone else.”
“…Anathema’s magician?”
Felix made a strange expression when he heard those words.
“I knew that Anathema was a level 8 dragon wizard…”
“That hypocrite was extremely proud of his skills that were put into practice in the center.”
Feisha spat and laughed.
“If this self-absorbed idiot had a talent for manipulation, he would never have been able to hide it.”
“It’s not necessarily only manipulators who can handle magicians. As long as it is limited to the medium of magician, other magicians can also be implemented.”
It is famous for being used as a medium for manipulation techniques due to its fast conduction and movement of magical energy in the form of a thread.
However, this does not mean that magicians other than manipulation magicians cannot use magic spells.
Simply pull out magic power like a long, thin thread and hold it, and you are no different from a magician.
Delicately manipulating a magician is difficult without the assistance of manipulation techniques, so other magicians do not necessarily use it.
“It took the form of a thread by weaving the particles together, but if you look at the entanglement of magical power, there are some clumsiness. As I said, the composition of the thread is not special.”
Lennok said, strengthening the hand holding the magician.
Tdu-duk-duk…!!
The shape of a magician that breaks easily and crumbles just by pulling with a little force.
Lennok said, lightly shaking off the remaining lint in his hand.
“It’s strange that even though the magician’s level of perfection is not high, it has remained intact for decades.”
“What do you want to say?”
“There is a power within this mansion that keeps even the magicians of magicians who have already died as they were.”
“….”
“That’s also the reason why the spider that built its nest on top of the mansion had a secret spirit and used a magician even though it was not a spirit creature.”
Lennok said and raised his gaze.
“This is possible because something with very powerful power assists magicians and other magic techniques.”
“Hey wizard.”
Feisha’s complexion changed completely as she belatedly understood Lennok’s words.
“No way, the ability of a forbidden weapon….”
“It is a special type of magic that has been treated most specially in Arsnova.”
Lennok nodded, grabbed the magician and increased his magic power.
Woooo!!
At the same time as he raises the Bagua Beopjin, he grabs Kaise’s pocket watch and infuses the magical power of the heavens into the magician.
Simultaneously projects the innate ability to control time and the magical power of reverse heaven to defy time.
The moment when I used Anathema’s magician as a medium to find the most intense flame image in this mansion.
Kiriririk…!!
In Lennok’s hand, the magician began to twist and take on a specific shape.
A strange appearance that seems to imitate the shape of some equipment that existed here a long time ago.
Felix took a deep breath as he realized that it was in the shape of a glove worn on one hand.
Lennok said, slowly lifting his hand.
“The taboo weapon hidden by Anathema is an artifact that uses manipulation techniques.”
