Drug-Eating Genius Mage - Chapter 991
The Genius Wizard Who Takes Medicine Chapter 991
First Gate (1)
As a catalyst to twist the orbital cycle of the veil, the first gate arrived at to rescue its fragments.
A gigantic corpse of a demonic beast positioned as if protecting the gateway to the central front.
Ugh…!!
The waves of magical energy flowing from the demonic beast’s white bones become a wind blowing over the grassland.
However, instead of heading to the corpse of the demon beast, Lennok wandered around the hill for a while.
“You’re wrong.”
Lennok, who had been closing his eyes and reaching out into the air to touch the invisible ‘flow’, stood up.
As soon as he found the first gate, Lennok attempted to intervene in the flow of power around him, but the results were all failure.
‘I can feel it being here, but it is not a concept that can be contacted in real form.’
Lennok’s eyes sank deeply as he looked at the curtain that swayed like a transparent curtain.
‘It would be impossible to acquire the fragments of the veil right here and now.’
The first gateway is the passage into the interior of the veil, and the actual road to Arsnova itself.
The closer you get to Arsnova, the more intense the collision becomes, and the thicker the veil becomes.
With Lennok’s sensitivity, he could pierce the thin curtain around the gateway, but he could not forcibly remove the fragments.
‘In the end, I have no choice but to acquire the fragments of the veil directly from within the gateway.’
It would be nice if we could get the fragments without taking any risks, but it’s unlikely that things will work out that easily at this point.
However, the reason Lennok does not head to the gate right away even though he knows this is because he knows that he needs to be more careful from now on.
‘The conjugation spellcaster is a level 8 specialty spellcaster. If there is a conflict, there is a high possibility that it will be a very different opponent than before.’
The fact that Lennok was able to gain an advantage over superhumans of the same level after reaching level 8 was a result of Lennok’s original mind.
This was possible because he had the upper hand in almost all battles by using a kaleidoscope of images that illuminated the possibilities of the future and talent that was not tied to a lineage.
Acquire various abilities and techniques and use them on the right opponent according to the situation and conditions.
Needless to say, the victory over Lieutenant General Robert Loveride is no different.
Wasn’t it because the Hellfire Phantom Bow was an ability close to the corps commander’s Microcosm that he was able to outmanoeuvre it so easily?
However, there was a high possibility that such analysis and strategy would not work against specialty magicians.
‘Should I have asked Oliveira for more relevant information?’
Since the first gateway itself is not a hidden place, I thought I could obtain relevant information at the scene.
It is undeniable that the information is immediately regrettable at a time when contact with Angel has been lost and the situation has become twisted.
“…It’s not like there’s no way.”
After muttering that, Lennok sat down on a hill with a clear view of the gateway and stretched out his hand to his arms.
click!
The eyes of heaven. An artifact carved from jewels to imitate the human eye.
This is the Heavenly Presbyterian’s Artifact Armament that Lapis gave as a gift at the end during the Lightning and Thousand Incidents.
It has the power to record all things in heaven and earth, and is said to be an object that functions as the thirteenth lighthouse.
At the time of the meeting, Lennok had modified and used this as a magic gun scope, but later recovered the artifact and kept it in its intact form.
“….”
Lennok, who was looking into the soft eyes of Heaven, grabbed it tightly.
This is evidence that Evan Martinez participated in the mission of a lighthouse keeper.
For Lennok, it is also an object with complex meaning in many ways.
Although I was never caught up in Cheong’s eyes, it was true that I sympathized to some extent with the answer Lapis chose.
Lapis respected Lennok’s intention not to be bound by the Watcher’s karma, and gave him these eyes and sent Lennok on his way.
Whose lingering attachment was he awakening to become a complete lighthouse keeper and passing on Cheongyeon’s belongings to Lennok?
It’s ironic, but after leaving the Blue Eyes, Lennok actually spent more time thinking about Lapis.
Even though she had hoped and Lennok had helped her, was the decision to send Lapis up to the border of the world at that time the right one?
Can it be said that Lapis, who completely let go of Heaven’s Eye and inherited the mission, is the Lapis Palseer that Lennok remembers?
“….”
Nothing is permanent, and everything continues to change.
Lapis is just following the ending that Cheongyeon faced long ago and is changing.
Lennok smiled bitterly, stopped thinking, and carefully infused magic into the artifact.
Keyee…!!
Cheonhye’s eyes, which accepted magical power, rotated gently and gave off a soft light.
A magic weapon that responds to the user’s magic, awakens its functions, and gradually expands its abilities.
It is no exaggeration to say that among the artifacts that Lennok currently possesses, this treasure is one of the top three in terms of its sophistication.
Pick up the transparent, shining pupil of heaven and place it in front of one eye.
When the gate was illuminated through the lens, the field of view expanded rapidly and invisible things began to become visible.
Lennok muttered inadvertently as he turned the artifact in a similar way to a telescope to illuminate the gateway.
“…a city.”
A corpse left behind by a demon. There is a small city down there, built with that white bone as its foundation.
The appearance of a gateway city built as a place for people to live, using the ribs as pillars and the spine as a roof.
In terms of area and population, it is slightly smaller than Kaiushu, a small city that Lennok visited earlier.
The forces passing through the gateway, merchants, and refugees gathered together to form a living area over a long period of time.
In fact, it is the first entrance to the central front and a transit point.
‘The entrance to the gateway… can’t be seen from here.’
The first gateway refers to the gateway city built beneath the corpse of that gigantic demon beast.
The city itself, built beneath the bones of the demonic beast, is the entrance to Arsnova.
However, if the gateway is a passage leading to Arsnova, the space itself where entry is possible must be determined.
‘To cross the veil, you have to go through the gateway city after all. It’s not something I can understand, but…’
Lennok’s goal is not to immediately cross the gateway and head to the depths of the front line, but to acquire fragments of the veil.
And Lennok, who looked at the gateway with his heavenly eyes, was able to witness a vast haze moving over the gateway.
Wooooow…!!
A transparent haze rippling as if spreading to both sides of the gateway, echoing through time and space.
It seems to reflect the scenery on the other side without any function, but at some point, it blocks all information like an inviolable barrier.
Something very powerful, invisible and invisible, was blocking Lennok’s senses from going behind the gate.
That haze extending to both sides of the gate with a strange resonance sound is the [veil].
It must be a conceptual barrier itself that has been installed and managed directly by the high-ranking Jangsaengjong of the remote city of Kundara.
‘Is this all for now?’
Although he could only see traces of the veil through Heaven’s eyes, Lennok was not that surprised by that fact.
According to what was explained to Clarice, the veil was a wedding ceremony spread across the entire continent using the shadow of the star as a medium.
It is a barrier that exists semi-permanently as long as night exists on this planet, but because of that, its shape cannot be properly confirmed during the day.
Perhaps it would be possible to directly confirm the reality of the veil only at night.
‘It’s not difficult to wait here until nightfall, but…’
As we arrived near the gate, we tried just in case, but still couldn’t contact Angel.
In the end, in order to contact Angel again, I have to find a way within the gateway city.
“…I can’t help it.”
Lennok, who was worried, sighed and walked away.
Riding the wind of the meadow, I jumped over the hill and headed straight to the simple fortress built at the entrance to the city.
“stop. “Stop in front of it.”
The moment we approached the fortress, the soldiers standing guard extended their hands towards Lennok.
“Stop using magical power and kill your intentions. “There will be a brief inspection.”
“It’s not even about suppressing your will, you’re telling me to kill you?”
Lennok tilted his head back with an expressionless face and raised his magic power.
“Do you tend to say that to everyone who comes and goes through the gate?”
Phew!!
The reverberation of the magic power that flowed out was transformed into a hot breeze through the wind.
The art of mixing pure magical power with intent and converting it into attributes.
“…!!!”
A vague yet skillful pressure that shows off that he is an excellent magician, but does not reveal his true identity.
Only then did the soldiers’ complexions completely change as they realized that the opponent was a powerful high-ranking wizard.
“sorry. “You were an official from the front line.”
The soldiers, who instantly became polite, bowed their heads.
I don’t know if it’s anywhere else, but this is a battlefield where all kinds of superhumans and monsters clash.
A high-ranking magician of this level would naturally be considered an executive-level figure of a large power.
“Currently, the Guard is on the lookout for victims of demonization rituals. “Excuse me, but could I check your belongings?”
“Demonization ritual?”
Perhaps because he felt an explanation was needed, the soldier exchanged glances with his other colleagues and opened his mouth.
“It refers to the offering rituals performed by cultists. “Victims are increasing one after another because they are clumsily imitating the Guido Church around the gate.”
“….”
“In particular, magic users who undergo this ritual will turn into monsters bent on murder, so special caution is required.”
Cultists and human sacrifice. And the demonization ritual.
There seems to be a lot of talk about the atrocities of those who clumsily imitate the religious denomination.
The behavior of the cultists who were keeping an eye on not only the soldiers gathered here, but even the 3rd Deadrise Corps.
“I think I saw that demonization ritual a few times on the way.”
Lennok took out a red pendant from his pocket, showed it to the soldier, and asked.
“Is this a force related to this pendant?”
“…!!”
“This is…”
An ornament placed on the altar while helping the search party subdue the cultists.
Sure enough, the soldiers also exchanged glances as if they recognized the pendant.
The soldiers, who were deep in thought with stern expressions, cautiously asked Lennok.
“Are you… by any chance, the wizard who helped the search party with its mission?”
“Has the information already been delivered inside the gate?”
“I received information about you from command. “Thank you for saving the search party.”
The soldier who immediately saluted Lennok nodded.
“The commander is waiting. “I will guide you.”
Was it possible to avoid suspicion because Lennok showed that he was a high-ranking wizard and took out the jewelry first?
It wasn’t a bad thing that it was easier to get into the gateway city than expected.
However, there were some doubts about the simple fortress guarded by the guards.
‘There is no trace of the Order Federation.’
If, as rumored, the conjugation master occupied the first gate, the spellcasters of the subordinate spell federations should also be there.
However, it is not the Order Alliance that guards the gate to the Gateway City, but the soldiers of the search party.
Has the master of the joint liquor handed over all duties to the search party? Does the federation not pay any attention to the gateway?
The moment when Lennok thought of many possibilities while walking with a soldier in front of the bridge leading to the city.
wickedness…!!
Lennok immediately raised his hand as he felt an unpleasant sensation grazing his spine.
Movements based on intuition, not reasonable grounds and judgment, activate the natural eyes.
Just before entering the city, Lennok’s steps stopped when he saw the light fortress.
“….”
Lennok, who was looking up at the scenery of the simple fortress in silence, asked the soldier.
“Are these simple fortresses and bridges facilities that originally existed within the city?”
“no. “It’s a facility that didn’t exist when Master Blaver Mage Tower managed it.”
The soldier who was crossing the bridge without hesitation answered.
“When the master of the joint came, he made it in one day to protect the entrance to the gateway city.”
“….”
“We don’t know how they built and placed a simple fortress of this size in just one day…”
“I see.”
I responded appropriately to the soldier who was trying to continue his explanation, and looked up at the fortress with my heavenly eyes.
A sense of incongruity in the simple fortress that could not be confirmed with the naked eye. The bizarre truth seen through the lens.
On top of the gate, which was built with foundation stones and bricks, was a huge and sticky giant of flesh.
Damn it…!!
A wrinkled and grotesque shape, as if the upper body of a giant had been joined to the castle gate and the hair on its entire body had been plucked and dried.
Like a living creature, it is wriggling and breathing, with its veins and flesh stretching out beneath the simple fortress.
[Kurururup…!!]
The flesh giant whose entire body was sewn together opened its mouth wide, letting out a silent scream.
The shape of the castle wall itself was not disguised or hidden. That fleshy giant is also just a part of the gate.
What Cheonhye’s eyes show is not the inside of an object, but the essence of the soul.
The simple fortress, which was supposed to be inorganic, is a chimera created by modifying a living organism.
This proves that it is the work of someone who is still alive even after converting a living creature into a simple fortress.
“….”
The master of the junction was not giving up or aiding the management of the gateway.
In a way that only he can do, he modified the living organism and gave it the role of monitoring the gateway city.
The truth was finally confirmed by Lennok, who had excellent spirituality but did not possess the eyes to see the soul.
The moment Lennok realized this and slowly lowered his heavenly eyes.
Lennok’s eyes met directly with the flesh giant writhing at the top of the castle gate.
A calm male voice flowed from the mouth of the unfocused giant.
[I understand that the discussion about the lighthouse has already ended.]
“…!!”
Wedge!!
The giant’s upper body, which was attached to the flesh, expanded at an incredible speed, and in an instant, it came right in front of Lennok.
As the giant’s flesh attached to the castle gate crawled down the leg, the leg shook and trembled greatly from the impact.
Awesome geek…!!
Wow!!
“What is this…!!”
[I wondered why I kept feeling the intrusive gaze.]
Ignoring the soldiers who couldn’t even recognize who was the subject of the shock, the flesh giant crawled up to Lennok and stared at him. I just saw it.
The giant moved his wrinkled, swollen lips and let out a soft male voice.
[It was your doing.]
“I never expected to be treated like this when I came to the Gateway City.”
Lennok said while looking at the lump of flesh in front of him.
He was feigning composure, but his head was spinning quickly on the spot.
From the moment the flesh giant, who had become one with the castle gate, recognized Lennok, he understood that things had gone awry. Because I did.
But now that I realized who was talking to Lennok, I couldn’t back out of here. After
thinking about it up to that point, Lennok slowly tilted his head back and asked.
“A mixed drinker. Do you usually treat customers like this? ?”
A master of the Spell Federation. A level 8 specialty caster. The manager of the first gateway. The
joint master was sending down his consciousness directly in front of Lennok.
