Drug-Eating Genius Mage Chapter 534

Genius Magician Who Eats Medicine Episode 534

The Giant of the Sun (1)

Claude Azlan. A greeting from a man who calls himself innocent.

Lennok didn’t immediately recognize the name, but Jenny, who was listening to the conversation over her phone, seemed different.

[…] … !!]

Her reaction was holding her breath, unable to hide her agitation even through her phone.

That alone made Lennok understand what a dangerous monster the man standing in front of him was.

‘A magical power that I’ve met on the contrary with a face I don’t remember. Not from the dark side.’

If Lennok, who has been active in the dark for a long time, is the first person he meets, he must be a monster living in the sun.

But it wasn’t just the way Gnoku introduced himself that Lennok recognized.

Unparalleled fighting spirit and magical power. It wasn’t long before I realized that that noble white glow existed in my memory.

‘The white pillar I witnessed in Bayrutz. Was this man the owner?’

Unlike the battle between Lennok and Ibelin, another fierce battle took place in the satellite city of Bayrutz.

The existence of the second extrinsic force presumed to have collided with Maya Lenslit.

This man, along with Evelyn, was one of the monsters who cooperated with the Aegis operation and lent their strength.

A level 8 superpower. Even at a glance, it is an unmanned person specialized in avant-garde.

I can’t even properly guess how strong and fighting ability it will be.

Lennok’s gaze calmly subsided.

He smiled lightly, as if he knew his innocence would be so.

“You are weighing your odds. I knew you would.”

“… … .”

“If you’ve dealt with Onion, you’ll be able to give an estimate against me too. How about seeing it in person?”

The pure white eyes of her innocence shone brightly as she said that.

“If you fight with a life-or-death decision, how confident can you be in a match?”

“… … You’re also insane for wanting to hear that from me.”

Lennox smiled and looked away.

“I have no intention of answering that, if that is the only business. I will go.”

You don’t know the details of innocence, but there are things you can understand without having to talk to the other person for a long time.

The man standing in front of Lennok right now is a madman far removed from the common sense of common people.

A monster who wasn’t even crazy about anything else, but was consumed by the passion of battle and the pleasure of winning.

A warrior whose overwhelming fighting spirit made Lennox sick of him and his consistent words and actions that he couldn’t overcome.

What did it mean to go up to level 8 and transcend the hierarchy in such a state?

A being that breathes and lives, but has already been maddened by the joy of struggle from its head to its marrow.

There is no benefit to be gained by hanging out with such an opponent. I guess I should say I’m glad I didn’t get swept away by the heat and get angry.

It is to the point where I don’t understand how he has been quietly tied to the sun while keeping the prohibition law until now.

Although he never expected to encounter such a monster in the middle of the city, Lennok did not panic and slowly turned his back.

If a monster like this was roaming around in the sun without hesitation, there would surely be considerable attention from the people around it.

Even knowing that, there is no reason to go along with the other person’s doctor.

Thinking so, that moment when Lennok stepped on his cane to return to Jenny’s bar.

Claude casually added one more word.

“I know you heard Onion’s comments about the Black Consumer Project.”

“… … .”

A word that Lennox could never hear.

Innocence laughed at Lennok, who slowly turned his gaze.

“There is something I would like to ask for your cooperation with. Would you like to hear a story?”

* * *

Metropolis 16 District.

Among the inner districts, the outer lanes of district 16 are famous for their vast flat areas.

Only highways and grassy gas stations stand behind empty fields lined up intermittently, and only endless fences block the horizon.

The shape of a magnificent gateway built right in the middle of a fence that could have been hundreds of meters in length.

Even the look of the signboard hanging on top of the bloody gate surrounded by the images of all kinds of demons and generals carved from old trees.

[Turyeonmun Gate]

The gate opened wide, revealing the shape of a vast manor.

Awesome… … !!

Hundreds of superhumans canter around the outskirts of the huge manor and beat wooden dolls.

From those facing each other who are absorbed in sparring, to those standing guard with weapons in the cabinet inside the manor.

All those warriors who are devoted only to polishing and polishing themselves politely bow their heads the moment they face their innocence.

“Prince Azlan, how was your long outing?”

“The writer is waiting for you.”

“Looks like you got a direct call from the Central Council.”

The figures of warriors naturally following innocence and Lennok and saying various things.

The innocence simply nodded and immediately took out the matter.

“Guide me where to receive the guests.”

“All right!”

It guides the two as if escorting them towards the main building built like a palace.

He never asked what it was or what it was for.

[…] … You have to be half careful.]

Jenny’s voice was faintly heard in Lennok’s ears.

[Turyeonmun’s innocence. Among the monsters who were bound by the forbidden law, he was the one who took a very dangerous course.]

“… … .”

Since the voice is transmitted directly using the magical bone conduction phenomenon, there is nothing to be heard by innocent people.

Jenny understood that and was relaying information about innocence quickly in a way that only Lennok could.

Darby’s data hacking or Lennok’s mana sensing alone can’t tell.

Secret rumors and information that were passed on only by word of mouth among those who knew in the dark.

[It’s a monster that has existed since the time this city was being reorganized, and it’s an old monster who even held the position of a member of the council… … . There is a saying that he resigned from his position in a very unfortunate incident.]

Jenny said in a very nervous voice.

[Some have reached the point of being irreversible due to mental illness-]

“Please understand.”

“… … .”

Innocence turned his gaze to Lennok and smiled.

“I have been away from the main text for a while due to work, so the reception is very busy.”

“Does not matter.”

said Lennok with an expressionless face.

Since I already had a rough idea of what the innocence was talking about, I didn’t even bother to ask about it.

Jenny, who was holding her breath at the strangely overlapping words of innocence, spoke quietly as if in a whisper.

[…] … I’ll link my account on the deep web to Van’s phone for a while. If there is any information you need, look for it right away.]

It is necessary information.

Although he understood Jenny’s concerns, Lennok had no intention of using the account right away.

There is no reason to go round and round at the point of following innocence. If necessary, dig it out directly through conversation.

It wasn’t that difficult to find something special about his behavior.

“How long are you going to keep that ridiculous tone?”

“… … You mean the way you talk?”

Seeing the halting innocence, Lennok laughed.

“Unreasonable respect. It’s mixed with a sense of goodwill that you can’t hide, and it’s popping out.”

“… … .”

“Actually, I have no intention of doing so, but I’m just forcing myself to press it. Rather, this one is annoying.”

The way he kept talking to Lennok was rather awkward and unclear, so it was easy to grasp.

Innocence is probably not the kind of personality that always respects or pays attention to subordinates.

His tone of voice jumped out as he tried to maintain respect for Lennok, who was obviously younger than himself and had a lower status.

“… … It can’t be.”

Innocence laughed.

“I don’t care about age or honorary status. However, I am very interested in the opponent’s achievements and achievements.”

“… … .”

“A major who single-handedly defeated Onion, a phase built in the name of solidity. Everyone is pointing out what level you have reached, but should I treat you carelessly?”

Having said that, Innocent chuckled while holding his mouth and pretending to pull it all the way.

“Please excuse me for bad habits. I made a mistake because she looked younger than I thought and the granddaughter I left in a foreign country seemed to overlap hahahaha!!!”

A bold reaction as if he was trying to cover up his mistakes generously.

But Lennok only smiled coldly at his innocence.

“It must be to the point where rational thinking is impossible without restraining oneself while refining one’s tone like that, right?”

“… … .”

The innocent laughter stopped.

“Transcending the hierarchy is also a very troublesome thing. Isn’t it?”

Without waiting for an answer, he continued.

“Because the unexplored territory reached beyond the established path is not always beneficial to oneself.”

What does it mean to completely transcend the existing hierarchy beyond the seven stages of self-change?

Starting to follow the road not taken means that you gave up stability and threw the odds.

Lennok understood very well that reaching level 8 was not necessarily an advantage.

It’s not that he insists on talking back and forth for the trivial reason that he thinks of his granddaughter.

Without forcibly trying to stick to a respectful tone of voice, you have reached a level where your self-control is so low that you can’t stand fighting spirit.

“It makes me wonder how such a mental head can obediently accept and tolerate the prohibition law.”

Looking down at the silent innocent’s back, Lennok spoke plainly.

“At that level, wouldn’t it be better to tie your arms and legs together and not come out of the closet?”

“… … Whoops.”

low laughter. Creepy flesh oozes out from beneath the swaying white coating.

The string that tied the white hair that was neatly arranged broke off and turned into scattered hair due to the flow of murderous blood that was strangling all around.

Click!

Innocence glanced back at Lennok through his loose hair and answered in a calm voice.

“There were times when I had to suppress my urge to go that far.”

“… … .”

“I used to welcome the restraint of the prohibition law. I saw it as an opportunity to forget about the complicated situation and dig deep into myself.”

The innocence that swept his hair was ridiculing himself with a sharp sneer.

“But I realized too late that the tower I had built uncontrollably high had gotten out of control and was prone to collapsing.”

The shadow of innocence, which was walking with its hands behind its back, soon fades to pure white and begins to emit a soft light.

The complexion of the warriors who were guiding innocence turned pale with the illusion that the bottom of their feet were brightly stained.

“Ah, Lord Azlan… … !!”

“Calm down, isn’t it forbidden to release magical powers above the level of the Ascendant rank in the headquarters… … !!”

Faaaaaa!!

The magic of innocence swells up without knowing how to control it.

Ignoring the disapproval of others, the rising white shadow began to take on a clear shape.

The shape of a white demon that was huge enough to surround an innocent body.

He glared at me with his eyes glaring at me with his savage, twisted face almost as close to a skull as he wore his gray hair all over his body.

In his skinny hands, he held a flash of white light stretched out like a spear, and it seemed close to the incarnation that represented the superhuman image of innocence.

“… … .”

A shady and damp chill that was completely different from the attitude that had been pretending to be pleasant somewhere before.

The aspect of a monster born at the end of an image twist and living in the shadows.

Perhaps this is the essence close to the true nature of the monster called innocence.

An alien monster who pursues the essence of an uninhabited person more powerfully and vividly than anyone else, but becomes unable to imagine anything other than that image.

It’s not different from the sense of incongruity I faintly felt when dealing with Evelyn.

The 8th level superpowers are already somewhat out of human morality and temperament, and are struggling to adjust and control them in their own way.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa… … !!

The ghost’s gaze glazed over as if it would eat Lennok at any moment.

It seems clear what Claude Azlan thinks of Lennok.

Probably, when fighting Maya Lenslet, he also used similar powers, madly inflating the weight class and scale of his magical powers.

However, Lennok only touched the cane in spite of the shape of the white ghost rising as if it would attack at any moment.

“Are you using a monster born from the twist of your image like an incarnation? Interesting though… … .”

Faaaa!!

A wave of achromatic color burst out from under Lennok’s feet and began to press down on the shape of the white ghost on the spot.

“It’s not something to take out in a place like this.”

The intention to freely deal with the signs that appear right before the development of the magnetic field.

The weight contained in Lennok’s image carried in the waves presses down on the shape of the white ghost itself and fades away.

The golden spirituality burst out and pierced the eyes of the white ghost without hesitation.

Whoa… … !!

Innocence, too, did not resist the power of the waves that Lennok unleashed for long.

As if he knew it would happen, the shape of a hundred ghosts faded so vainly.

The other soldiers who were watching the scene from the side hesitated back without being able to speak properly.

“How could a mere wizard do the madness of Lord Azlan!!”

“It might not be too dangerous a talent to include in the main text… … !!”

However, innocent ignored the reaction of the other soldiers and smiled as if he knew it.

“I could have done it too.”

“… … .”

“It can’t be without you. I have already made my decision.”

Words that don’t make any sense whatsoever.

However, Lennok, who understood the words to some extent, did not bother to respond.

Innocence had just reacted to Lennok’s provocation, trying to see if he had risen to the point where he could counterbalance his powers head-on.

The silence lasted for a moment.

“Well, I’m paying a lot of attention to mental training these days.”

innocently said, picking up the broken hair tie and casually tidying up her gray hair again.

He smiled, clearing his voice again, then looked away with a grin.

The other soldiers hurriedly came to their senses and began guiding them again.

However, unlike before, when they were just staring at Lenok somewhere, their eyes still couldn’t leave the wizard holding the staff.

“Rather than thinking about becoming stronger, sometimes I try to forget about it and live. Go back as soon as possible Even now, I personally feel that the old saying is not wrong.”

Is there a way to become stronger only when we shouldn’t aim to become stronger?

Although Lennok did not know much about the precariousness of such warriors’ values or images.

I was sympathetic to a certain extent that such contradictions are part of the essence that makes up the inner side of human beings.

“I don’t think it will be a very pleasant story, so shall we stop here?”

Saying so, Gyeolbaek moved toward the side of Bongak Manor without hesitation.

“I think I need to put aside my pointless story and explain the business that brought you here.”

Climb up to the antique pavilion covered with luxurious carpets and sit in front of a lavishly decorated table.

Could it be that during that short time when the two of them walked down and down the manor and had a conversation, they set up such a splendid table for the guests.

Innocence raised a steaming cup and pushed it in front of Lennok.

“How about we start off with a drink?”

* * *

“More than 50 years have passed since Turianmen was established in this city.”

After drinking the glass without hesitation, the bottle rotates and rises in place with just a flick of the finger.

With just a glance while holding the glass, it was poured into the glass as if an invisible hand was pouring it.

“We were here until the project failed, the parliament changed hands, the civil war turned the tide, and Kaise’s granddaughter became the broker.”

“… … .”

Did you hear or not hear?

“Do you know what that means?”

A strangely innocent face. It seemed that he had no intention of hiding the fact that he wanted to see the reaction.

But Lennok did not raise an eyebrow at such an innocence question.

“Do you want to boast that it is rotten water because it is stagnant?”

“Hahahaha!!”

Innocence, who burst into laughter at Lennok’s words, raised his glass and drank it down.

“That’s how much I’ve been helping out in various ways with what’s happening in the dark of this city.”

“… … .”

“I haven’t let go of my hands since I was bound by the prohibition law. Rather, I tried to keep an eye on everything.”

Perhaps because of her white complexion and skin, even a little bit of alcohol makes her face look red.

As he drank several glasses in succession, innocently held up the bottle with a slightly reddened face.

“For example, like the treason of the National Guard in which you participated.”

“… … .”

“Lieutenant General Edmus Treffen. You must remember the mobile fortress commander’s betrayal, right?”

It was only then that Lennok, realizing that the innocence had brought it to the point, put down the glass he was holding without a word.

Innocence said while staring at Lennok’s gesture.

“At the time, Lieutenant General Treppen tried to make a deal with Congress using abandoned military facilities in undeveloped areas, and it actually worked.”

“however?”

“The Council would have had to concede a lot if the Agent’s Deputy Director, Palad Okon, hadn’t recruited talent like you to stop the mobile fortress.”

Innocence tilted his glass and continued.

“Because it was clear that a loophole in the prohibition law had been discovered, we were also able to release our limbs while maintaining the existing privileges. There will be almost no organization or force that has not watched the process with interest.”

“… … .”

“The problem is that in the process, Deputy Director Pallad went around some of the closed areas with some freelancers. I don’t know if you remember.”

“… … A closed area?”

Lennok immediately remembered what incident Innocent was referring to.

Before heading to the undeveloped district to deal with the mobile fortress, didn’t you infiltrate Area 6, which was designated as a closed area, and search for classified documents?

The operation used the data obtained in the process to figure out the advance route of the mobile fortress and waged an all-out war.

Claude was talking about the time he broke into District 6.

“Yes. In fact, if you don’t confirm this, the conversation won’t proceed.”

Innocence smiled as he put down his drink.

“Because we have to go into another closed area to deal with the evils of the Black Consumer Project from now on.”
