Drug-Eating Genius Mage Chapter 448

Boundary of the well (1)

An ancient civilization city boasting an absurdly vast width to simply call it a ruin.

It is hard to believe that it is located in this hot jungle, and the scale and elaborate sculptures are glimpsed.

Even though only traces of it were swept away by the sands of time, it is recognizable that it has built a considerable civilization and system.

Lennok looked down at the city from above the airship and narrowed his eyes behind the mask.

‘The light of the structure… … .’

It is hard to see because it is buried in rust and moss, but a faint golden light can be seen between countless buildings that have lost their balance and collapsed.

It is unlikely that the entire city is a golden town made of gold, but it would be reasonable to assume that the minerals that made up some of the structures still remain.

It must mean that the civilization that was nestled in the jungle in the past boasted of mighty prestige.

To the extent that he personally attended and managed the entire ideology of the ascendant.

“Take this, Victor.”

While Lennok was lost in thought, Leya, who had descended into the cargo hold, threw something at him.

When I grabbed it and examined it with a magician, it was a patch-type seal that was attached to the skin.

Strange, unknown characters were drawn in a mess on the seal.

Leya said, showing that the same seal had been applied to the bottom of her ear.

“They say it’s an item that suppresses the mental interference waves flowing from the well. It will take three days, so stick it in advance.”

“A mental interference wave?”

At Lennox’s question, she shrugged.

“Well, Glenn says that if you do it right, you won’t last long with your sober mind and you’ll go insane.”

“… … .”

“They say you will do what the people who used to live in this city did, but I haven’t heard much about it, so I don’t know.”

“I get it.”

After Lennok said that, he quietly raised his senses without putting a seal on it.

An alien sensation burrowing into the head at the same time as the huge historic site in a radius of several kilometers enters the sensory sphere.

Although it cannot penetrate the wizard’s mental resistance, there exists an unknown force that shakes judgment and tries to forcibly inject unknown impulses.

It was only then that Lennok nodded, confirming that Reya’s words were not nonsense.

‘It’s not just an impulse. It’s definitely more of an ugly kind of ritual.’

The mental waves that flow from the deepest depths of that collapsed ancient civilization city are not the kind that simply drive people crazy.

Excessive excitement and pleasure Cannibalism Human sacrifice and sacrificial ritual.

In a way, it was close to the fanaticism and mania I felt whenever I faced the priests of the Guido Church.

Traces of an ancient civilization in the past that worshiped the Ascendant and enshrined his realm within their cities.

The memory remains intact in this space and tries to dominate the intruder.

‘Isn’t there a reason why the clown did some shit earlier… … .’

It’s not unconvincing if the reason why he pranked his new colleague while passing out was to test Lennok’s mental resistance.

Of course, there was no doubt that the clown who hadn’t even explained that fact was insane.

Whoops!!

While deep in thought, the airship quickly makes a half turn around the outskirts of the city and lands on the border between the jungle and the ruins.

The balance of an airship that does not shake at all even when a storm of unknown power rages in the sky.

At the same time as realizing that, Lennok also realized how valuable Pandaemonium’s old-world technology was.

Originally, it would have been possible to reach this place only after a few days after passing through that complicated jungle as if competing with other forces.

Having skipped such a complex process with only one airship capable of flying in this jungle, he was the first to arrive at this collapsed city.

“Hmm, it looked like this. It is much better preserved than I thought.”

As soon as she landed inside the collapsed stone wall near the city, Leya landed on the ground as if she had waited and started looking around.

At the same time, dozens of people who got off the airship began to run quickly and spread out in all directions.

Tata dot!!

The signs disappear all over the city without saying a word to Lennok and Leya.

As the clown said, are you thinking of planning a strategy to occupy two directions first and buy time?

Considering the number of forces and the speed in the direction of travel that I remembered from the airship earlier, it doesn’t take long to prepare.

“Did you say Glenn? What is the level of the armed forces following him?”

“army unit? Glenn is just Glenn. Not someone else.”

“… … Are you saying that all those dozens are one person?”

“They say it’s a hive consciousness, but I don’t know. I have a quiet personality and listen well, so I only use a few people as my bodyguards.”

“… … .”

Come to think of it, as she said, a few people in jet black suits were left on the airship, finishing up their preparations, and heading to the border of the sandbar.

It would be a waste of time to ask any further questions, so Lennok shut up.

Unlike a member of Pandemonium who participated in this event, Reya doesn’t know much, and her mentality doesn’t seem very toxic.

But that’s not because she’s so inferior in ability, but on the contrary, it must be because she has a powerful ability enough to take into account such a personality and ignorance.

The clown also cast spells on Lennok to test him, but he didn’t even touch her who hit her head.

There are still doubts about whether the operation is possible with just this configuration, but Lennok put the doubts aside and decided to move.

“Go first.”

“I’ll be looking around the city a bit. I was wondering if you could take some pictures with your cell phone. Can I post it on social media?”

Lennok looked back at Leya, who was returning to the airship to find her phone, and immediately kicked her foot.

The complete opposite of the disappearance of dozens of people presumed to be Glenn.

That’s right!!

Stretching out and reducing the magician, he pushed his body out over the jungle.

Climb on top of the tallest tree and carefully head to the top at a speed enough to avoid motion sickness.

After successfully hanging on to the top of the giant tree, Lennok unfastened the watch on his left hand and, with a few taps, the watch strap transformed into an elongated telescope.

A sniper rifle’s scope was added to it, and a powerful telescope was completed that could see several kilometers away.

Lennok, who brought his eyes to the inside of the lens, involuntarily burst into admiration at the first sight he saw.

“… … elephant?”

Booooooo… … !

The appearance of an elephant troop running from the outskirts of the jungle, trampling the forest at random, leading a massive body.

Even from far away, you can see the destruction they cause and the dust they cause is spreading high into the sky.

Riding on top of such an elephant were bronze-skinned people with tattoos all over their bodies.

With its mouth, it is constantly chanting incomprehensible spells and bursting with bizarre forms of brilliance in all directions.

Lennok nodded when he noticed the green chain pattern engraved on their chests.

The magic of the wild green that the clown said. Did you say it was an organization formed by the shamans of the southern jungle?

“I guess we should start soon.”

I don’t know when the clown who crashed on the way will come back, but as he said, Lennok can do what he can.

“I’ll ask you to scan the 2km terrain around Davi and simulate the magician’s installation.”

[The one-to-one magical power density is bizarrely high, so there will be a lot of errors. I’ll try to design an algorithm with as much consideration as possible, but I have to be careful.]

“Don’t worry about that.”

Hundreds of strands of magic thread began to shoot out from both hands of Lennok, who had quickly fallen from the tree.

“I will take care of the errors myself.”

* * *

Ujijijik!!

The thick legs of the elephant move without rest and trample between the trees without hesitation.

In the meantime, the hidden human body was crushed like a grain of sand, scattering blood on the damp floor.

“Ahhh… … !!”

Mounted on the elephant’s back, the sorcerer, Cayenne, frowned at the fishy smell of blood rising up her nose.

“It looks like a bug.”

“That’s what I mean. I’m starting to get annoyed now.”

The shaman next to him accepted his words with a sad expression.

“Did you say the Reding Revolutionary Army? There’s really no need to be persistent. I wouldn’t have cared if he was just following me quietly.”

“It’s only natural since we held the ceremony for King Gifu. How can soldiers relying on spears and knives resist the great laws of magic?”

The spell of Maengnok, a shaman group based in the southern jungle.

It hasn’t been long since they started moving as an organization, but their strength is at a level that no one in the Southern Continent can ignore.

It took a long time for the selfish shamans who only knew themselves to join forces, but most of them were superhumans who had already mastered the game.

These massive elephants, on which shamans now ride, are not mere animals.

A religious body that symbolizes a violent elephant. It is a summoned beast that was summoned after offering a huge sacrifice to King Gifu Sang, and its physical strength and durability exceed that of a level 5 superhuman.

Considering the enormous weight class and weight of an elephant and its physical ability comparable to that of a superman, it is at the level of a living, breathing weapon of war.

Who can stop the army of shamans who leave the hand-to-hand combat to elephants on top of such weapons of war and cast spells from above?

Except for the blood spirits who live in harmony with nature inside the jungle, it is a matter of course that they are most familiar with the terrain of this jungle.

At the same time, he is making a road by crushing the entire jungle using elephant troops, and there is no way he is falling behind.

Instead of moving along the road, they trampled whole trees and made their own path, and they were one of the strongest forces that took the lead by far in this huge jungle.

Except for one airship that disappeared over the jungle as if laughing at them.

“How long has it been since they passed over our heads?”

“About two hours. It’s been quite a while, but enough to catch up.”

“I must hurry. Shouldn’t the work be delayed because of the bugs that catch the feet?”

“If you can get something from the demonic realm that you couldn’t even get close to on your own, there will definitely be a big increase in your shamanistic skills.”

“… … yes. Otherwise, there is no reason to step into the deepest part of the jungle.”

“If I could get even one artifact from the altar where the well was built… … .”

“Hmm, just thinking about it… … .”

Powerful greed dwelled in the eyes of the two shamans, as if they had made a promise.

Originally, witchcraft is a bar that is as good as the skill of the caster and is affected by a mysterious catalyst.

In that sense, the remains of the abandoned city of an ancient civilization must be a catalyst with tremendous shamanistic value.

Didn’t the leader who gathered these shamans into one and formed the spell of Maengnok also unified the southern jungle by wielding powerful magic with rare catalysts?

If it wasn’t for this moment when forces from all over the continent gathered at once and invaded the jungle, they wouldn’t even come near the well.

All the other shamans knew that the moment of greatest crisis that came to the jungle could be an opportunity that would never come again.

Doo doo doo!!!

The elephants trample and break the trees in the jungle, increasing the speed of their progress.

A remote area untouched by humans. That’s why trees located relatively inside are easily broken and their roots are shaking.

The well is getting closer. Realizing this, the shamans also naturally urged the elephants they rode on.

“You man, you are walking so slow!”

“I guess I’ll have to ask King Gifu to bring down a guy who’s a little faster on his feet!!”

Everyone doesn’t speak properly, but they are subtly conscious of each other and speed up competitively.

Every time the excited elephant steps faster, the elephant next to it also leans forward to lose.

Every time you increase your speed, the scenery around you blurs and you begin to pay attention to the shaman on either side rather than being wary of all directions.

Unconsciously, the nerves are gnawed at by unknown mental waves that quietly penetrate the minds of excited shamans.

Cayenne’s lips trembled with excitement as if competing with the witch doctor she had just chatted with.

“quickly… … !!”

The moment when the thick elephant’s leg was about to move forward, crushing the broken tree and scattering sap in the meantime.

Cheer la la rock!!!

With the sound of something falling in front of the elephant’s eyes, countless skeins of thread began to scatter in all directions.

* * *

[Complete control of the southwest swamp area.]

[Construction of the northern mud plateau deterrence line in progress.]

[Complete subjugation of 4 monsters. Dismantle the corpse and start transporting it by airship.]

[Insufficient ammunition for line 8. Firepower support required.]

[Moving to the main unit’s ammunition depot. The remaining power can come out in advance and accept it… … .]

“Oh noisy!!”

A communicator reverberated incessantly from inside the airship hangar.

Oddly enough, the voices resounding non-stop over the communicator belonged to the same person.

Leya, who had been lying haphazardly lying among the cargo and chewing on potato chips, burst into irritation.

“Glen. I can’t concentrate on the drama. Can’t you be quiet?!”

On the laptop in front of her, a soap opera she hadn’t seen because of her busy schedule was playing at several times the speed.

The communicator crackled, and then a quiet voice came right next to it.

A man standing idly next to Leya, as if protecting her, was directly conveying his intentions.

“… … sorry. However, as the clown dropped out along the way, the area we had to cover widened.”

“That’s what you know. I mean, keep quiet until the operation starts. Don’t you know I’m managing my condition?”

Freya, who is famous all over the continent, is an entertainer who lives without a break to the extent that her schedule is full throughout the year.

At least, on days when I was dragged into Pandaemonium work, I was enjoying the content I hadn’t seen before in the free time given to me unintentionally.

While watching a soap opera, Leya gives a ridiculous reason for managing her physical condition, but Glenn couldn’t carelessly answer her words.

That’s because Leya’s abilities and powers were things that even Glenn could never underestimate.

Even the not-so-funny excuse of managing her condition cannot be ignored because of the potential for it to impede her ability.

“We will reduce the volume of the communicator as much as possible. However, Freya-sama, please listen to the communication in case of an unexpected situation. There is a possibility that the barrier will be breached and someone will intrude there.”

“okay. I know, so let’s try each other. Tell your other friends what I said. Understand?”

“… … .”

Glen closed his mouth instead of answering.

He’s probably relaying the conversations he just had to another ‘Glen’.

Although Leya gave Lennok a rough outline of Glenn’s identity, she was aware that he was a much more complex being.

Glenn does not simply manipulate multiple bodies with a single mind.

There are dozens of people who believe and act as Glenn, and they are just fighting and thinking as if they were one body.

Rather than mental illness, fanaticism is also a kind of infection from outside this world.

The dozens of people gathered here who believe themselves to be Glenn are all those who once faced the end of the open sea as members of the Order and suffered from madness.

[I’m talking about this separately because it’s a place like this, but… … A man named Victor Beware. He may not be an ally.]

Leya laughed at another Glenn’s words that came from the other side of the communicator instead of Glenn right next to her who was silent.

“So, are we friends? Are they good colleagues? Would you give your life for me?”

[…] … .]

“I don’t like the fact that I suddenly got involved in the operation itself, but it’s a pick I picked after going through auditions traveling all over the continent, so you have to understand.”

[I don’t doubt my skills. However, the combat ability itself has not been sufficiently verified to be suitable for such an operation… … .]

“Stop talking.”

Without taking her eyes off the soap opera highlights playing on her laptop, Leya waved her hand.

“Wouldn’t Victor be covering the empty area anyway because that bastard clown acted rashly? You can wait until dawn to think about it.”

[…] … .]

“Let me watch the drama. huh?”

[…] … ]

“Haa… … . That shit really. okay.”

Leya let out a deep sigh and stood up and headed towards the airship’s instrument panel.

“If you seem to be running late while looking at the area on Victor’s side, I’ll help you. That’s okay, right?”

[…] … That’s enough.]

“No, no matter how much it is, there’s no way the person who chose the name would handle the work carelessly… … hmm?”
