The Medicine-Taking Genius Wizard Episode 1013:
Conjugated Liquor (14)
Whioooo…!!
A distant amount of flame petals fluttering around the body of Jangsaengjong.
After sending off the drinker, Lennok was walking around inside the unfinished magnetic realm.
Even after the joint master has disappeared, the life realm he built is still burning within the realm.
A special-type installation-type life-sphere operating room that the alcoholic beverage owner had prepared and brought to life over many months.
The reason why the life sphere maintained its form within Cheonhwamanlihyang was not because the strength of the sphere was higher than that of alcohol.
It was simply Lennok’s intention to bring the remaining supplies and items to the operating room after the fight had come to a complete conclusion.
[Oooooh….]
The long-lived Chimera, who had become one with the life realm, let out a slow groan within the pillar of fire.
Even if I leave it like this without doing anything, it will soon turn into a handful of ashes.
Wow!!
As he moved his finger down, the fleshy wall split open, revealing a hallway inside the operating room.
Lennok, leaning against the wall, looked across the hallway and muttered.
“They destroyed the entire area, but there are still intact places…”
The battle between Lennok and Junsuju was a series of bombings that burned and crushed the entire area.
In the rampage of flame magic and space bonding chimeras, the entire life sphere was torn apart.
Nevertheless, Lennok was aware of what it meant that there was still a clean space left.
Wow!!
Lennok pushed his hand through the wall of flesh and pulled out a blood-covered arm.
Lennok smiled bitterly when he realized who the arm belonged to.
“Did they dissect Michal Zelich’s body parts and stuff them all over the area?”
Michal Zelich, an immortal with an innate ability based on super-regeneration.
If the body was dissected and ‘joined’ into the area, it would not be strange for the space inside the damaged area to be regenerated.
I can understand why the alcoholic beverage owner did such a thing.
Before joining Jangsaengjong’s remains, this operating room was an area made entirely of flesh.
There must have been spaces that could not overcome their own weight and collapsed or were compressed.
The alcoholic drinker had pinned Zelich’s body parts to prevent Gwonyeok from self-destructing under his own weight.
“The items that need to be retrieved from the operating room immediately are…”
Even though the master of the joint is dead, the reason why the operating room he left behind was left within the territory of Cheonhwamanlihyang.
That was because Lennok was sure that there were still things left to collect from the operating room.
A series of skirmishes began when the liquor master realized Lennok’s purpose much sooner than expected.
Equipment and consumables inside the operating room that were temporarily excluded at that time will be able to be recovered at this point.
Drurrrrr!!
Search the spare drug storage room and catalyst processing room located on the outskirts of the area and collect all remaining stolen goods.
Salt mushrooms and gwiryeongcho grow only in the center. Bingyo (氷尿) root collected from the northern snowfield cultivation area. A prescription medicine for alcoholics processed by the Federation.
“It would have been a shame if I had just passed by.”
The master of conjugation was a doctor who was as good at healing people as he was at destroying them.
Many of the medicines he stored in the operating room were excellent, even by Lennok’s standards.
Lennok, leaning against the shelf in the storage room, tore open the wrapper, took out a small pill, chewed it, and swallowed it.
As the pungent scent lingered on the tip of my tongue and spread throughout my body, sweat quickly began to seep onto my skin.
Cheek!!
A therapeutic product that liquefies impurities and waste accumulated in the body and forces them to be expelled.
Just by sweating, your body feels lighter and your energy seems to increase.
“Whew…”
Lennok sighed in satisfaction and tilted his head back.
I’m lucky that I can try to recover a little bit after the fight.
Although it may not be possible to cure all injuries right away, it is clear that the faster action is taken, the higher the recovery efficiency.
‘Thanks to the power of Cheonhwamanlihyang, my magical power was greatly restored. This alone gives us a little more space, but….’
The true value of Cheonhwamanlihyang is not only in its scale and sustainability.
In an area that blooms over time, the magic effect and magic density increase explosively.
Lennok’s magical power, which had been exhausted immediately after the battle, had already recovered by almost half.
As the headache that was pounding my head subsided and I regained my energy, I felt a little hungry.
Rattle, rattle!
Deer antlers are said to have been made by melting the horns of Hwansu species. A concentrate made by squeezing Lara Valley’s hwagwa.
Lennok, who had gathered medicinal herbs to help restore energy, stopped when he found beef jerky made by grinding up and drying the internal organs of a demonic beast.
“….”
Why is an item that should be thrown as a snack to a chimera in the medicine storage room?
Perhaps the liquor drinker often enjoyed eating odd foods like this as a hobby.
While Lennok was thinking, Dabi smelled the dried beef jerky in his arms and stuck out his tongue.
[Eweee.]
“…What are you doing alone?”
[I guess organisms here don’t have a sense of taste?]
Judging from Dabi’s reaction, it seemed like it was definitely something that ordinary humans shouldn’t eat.
Lennok left the medicine storage room while stroking Dabi’s grunting head and immediately began searching the remaining rooms nearby.
“Is this… a warehouse?”
When the flesh-covered wall was cut open and the warehouse door was opened, all kinds of equipment and items poured out.
thud!! Warrr!!
“….”
Dok2 and staff. Grimoire and spear blade. Magical arrows poured out of the quiver.
Lennok, who was looking at the dozens of pieces of equipment that had poured out, picked up the staff that had rolled down to his feet.
“There are signs that someone has used it. “The amulet wrapped around the handle is worn.”
Lennok’s eyes sank deeply as he stroked the staff with one hand.
“It’s a staff that assists in changing the nature of magical power… It’s not low-level equipment. “But it’s not something that the alcoholic drinker would personally use.”
The joint master did not use any equipment other than simple surgical tools throughout the battle with Lennok.
Rather than looking down on Lennok, it’s probably because he’s just a hindrance to using special skills.
Rather than saying that the winemaker used them himself, it would be more correct to say that they were trophies he acquired in war.
“Let’s take it first.”
Open the sub-space and sweep up the equipment that had spilled at your feet.
Because the size of the subspace was not large, it quickly filled up, but when I used a shrinking spell, I was able to fit it in somehow.
[There is almost no equipment that would be of much use to the Master, right?]
“If I recover it, it will be of some use. “If it doesn’t work out, just sell it in a nearby city.”
If it was an ordinary weapon, it would have been overlooked, but most of it is an item or artifact filled with magical power.
Moreover, if it was an item that the master of articulation kept as a trophy, it would be useful somewhere, even if only for that purpose.
Lennok thought so and walked towards the upper level of the area.
Although they are trying to preserve the original form by deliberately suppressing the power, the area will not be able to hold out for long now that the joint liquor is gone.
There is something that needs to be checked before the operating room is completely destroyed by the Sihwa fire.
Kwaaaang!!
After passing through the familiar hallway, the door to the main operating room number 2 is smashed with a fireball.
Lennok, who entered the operating room with hot flames, hardened his complexion when he saw the empty operating table.
“…There is none.”
There was just a blood-soaked surgical gown lying on the operating table.
Blaber Matapju, who was receiving surgery from Sulju, is nowhere to be seen.
“….”
I wasn’t sure that the owner of the tower would be dead here.
The magic tower lord that Lennok knows is someone who is very obsessed and cautious about his own safety.
There is no way that a pagoda owner would have left his body to a liquor owner without any protection.
“I keep using magic detection, but I can’t find any sign of him… He may have already left the gateway city.”
Lennok touched the operating table with one hand and was lost in thought.
The patient’s gown on the operating table is placed in the same position as the patient is lying down.
Strange traces, as if only the body of the head of the hospital, which was wearing a patient gown, had been removed cleanly.
‘Ultra-long space jump or teleportation. Or is it a foreshadowing of a transference ability comparable to that….’
Considering the oath of righteousness sworn by the master of the junction, there is a possibility that he evacuated the master of the tower in advance just before the battle.
If it is certain that he has escaped from the gateway city, it is impossible to track down the tower owner in Lennok’s condition right now.
It was a shame that he couldn’t take away more of his spark and treasure, but even though Lennok knew that, there was a reason he came back here again.
“It’s not like there’s no income.”
Jump up!!
A shelf located at the back of the operating room where patients’ belongings are stored.
There were three clothes that glowed brightly on the shelf.
A phoenix robe woven with luxurious red embroidery.
A belt with many colorful jewels embedded in it like sockets.
A pair of pure white gloves with a red magic circle engraved on the back of the hand.
Tapjoo escaped, but was unable to take his belongings that he had brought back for the surgery.
Lennok chuckled as he lifted up his red-embroidered robe.
“You’re the lord of the magic tower. “Are all three items of clothing top-class artifacts?…”
These are items that the Magic Top Lord himself, who is extremely apprehensive about his own body, always wears.
All of them are top-class artifacts. Or it must be a relic or item equivalent to it.
[Oh.]
Dabi, who was looking at the artifact in his arms, tilted his head.
[Does this organism not wear pants?]
“…I’m not particularly curious. “Don’t ask.”
Could it be that it burned down and disappeared during the battle of the joint liquor?
Deciding to believe that, Lennok quickly changed his mind and grabbed the robe and belt in both hands.
“Hmm…”
I can roughly guess what kind of power the phoenix robe has.
Overall, it probably contains the ability to assist in chanting or mastering flame magic.
Considering the fire resistance shown by the tower owner in the battle with Lennok, there may also be a blessing related to it.
The problem is the belt with jewel sockets and the gloves with magic circles engraved on the backs of the hands.
It’s a jewel socket. I’ve seen Maiya Lenslet use a similar item, so even so, the energy I can feel from the gloves is unusual.
Of all the artifacts Lennok saw in the operating room, it might be the best.
“The magic circle engraved on the gloves. “With my knowledge, I can’t interpret what kind of magic it is.”
Lennok muttered, frowning with suspicion.
“Could it be a relic from the old world…?”
Some time ago, in Balkan, the tower owner tried to kill Lennok using old world combustion magic.
Is the magic used by the tower owner at that time related to this artifact?
I thought about it for a moment, but I can’t test all of the artifact’s abilities here.
Bring a robe and belt and put gloves on your hands on the spot.
“….”
The fit itself, which sticks well to the hand, is quite satisfactory.
Lennok, who was testing the strength of the glove by pulling on the back of his hand, began to look closely at the operating table again.
A scalpel, scissors and tweezers neatly placed on a cleaning device next to the operating table.
Lennok, who was staring at it, wrapped a set of surgical tools in a towel and took them with him.
“I think he’ll like it if you bring it to Jordon.”
It is probably not an ordinary item as it is a surgical tool that the surgeon himself used.
“Okay then-”
The last thing to be found, retrieved, and interrogated in this operating room.
The stairs of the life zone are burning and melting into a mess.
A half-destroyed water tank was buried among the remains of internal organs engulfed in flames.
Half of the gray-white brain in the tank was shaking and convulsing.
Lennok slowly stood in front of the tank and looked down at the brain with a cold gaze.
“Mikal Zelich. “There was still something left to say, right?”
* * *
[…I can’t believe it.]
That was the first wave of salt Zelich sent inside the dried tank.
[That Avesta Chapman… was defeated by you?]
“It must have been quite a difficult fight for him.”
Lennok responded, massaging his neck with one hand.
“Not only is the domain itself not a helpful ability in battle, but he split his head in half to join your brain.”
[….]
“In the beginning, I started by matching the recoil of the technique and putting him in a near-death state, and the situation was right, so I was able to force a handicap and fight-”
[No. Those things are no excuse.]
Zelich said, decisively interrupting Lennok.
[Sulju was not a person who was swayed by such circumstances and conditions and was unable to produce results.]
“….”
[I fought with you within my sphere of influence and lost. That’s all.]
Despairing mental waves echoed vaguely in the tank.
[Evan Martinez. You… were stronger than the Great Sorcerer of the Alliance. How on earth-]
“It would have been nice if you had known that before the fight started, right?”
Damn it!!
Lennok, who kicked the water tank and smashed it, grabbed Zelich’s left brain with his magic power.
When pressure was applied with half of the brain floating in the air, painful mental waves flowed out.
Lennok said while looking at Zelich.
“As the party who provided the winemaker with immortality, don’t you think that you are responsible for this result?”
[….]
“Is the leader of the Demonic Enlightenment Squadron named Appelia? “I’m very curious how you will react when you find out that you betrayed the flyers and joined the Alliance.”
[As for Appelia…]
Zelich let out a bitter smile and a sad look.
[Emperor Appelia won’t care. She is no longer able to distinguish between individual flyers.]
“What?”
[In order to unite the flyers and stabilize their runaway talents, she became one with the collective mental network…]
“….”
[Now she is closer to a group than an individual. The consciousness also became closer to a program than to a human. Some people call it a ‘disease’, but-]
Zelich, who had been talking up to that point, soon changed his tone and sighed.
[It’s done. Now what can I say about the flyer?]
“…You.”
[I will answer anything I know. So, after listening to everything, finally, throw me into that hellfire.]
Zelich’s mental net seemed to be directed towards the huge pillar of fire that wrapped around the area.
[With the flame of yours that killed the master of conjugation, even my consciousness could be consumed without any residue. Please.]
“….”
It is not impossible.
Cheonhwamanlihyang has the power to kill things that do not die in a different way from Gwangramuhaegung.
Zelich’s brain will also not be able to survive in the flames of Sihwabun and will be incinerated particle by particle.
But Lennok had no intention of giving Zelich such a comfortable ending.
“I’m afraid that’s going to be difficult.”
Lennok said.
“The incineration of the living area has been completed. “My area will now take on a completely different form.”
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!
At that moment, the huge prayer beads that had been burning around Jangsaengjong’s body began to spin and soar into the sky.
After incinerating and pulverizing everything that remained on the ground and needed to be burned, the flames were now directed high into the distant skies.
A [curtain] hung over the gateway city.
The flames of Cheonhwamanri Incense, which had moved onto the shadow of the star, spread through the curtain and glowed.
Thousands of flame petals began to flutter like snow.
Paaaaaa!!!!
Hot snow falls ceaselessly above the gateway city and spreads over the grasslands.
The power to change the environment itself near the first gate rather than simply leaving the flames at the gate.
Only then did Zelich sigh as he realized what kind of territory Lennok had developed at the first gate.
[That’s crazy… It was an image that changed the gateway environment itself?]
“Now that Jangsaengjong’s body is gone, we will need a medium to act as the [gateway] of the veil.”
Lennok said, looking at the burning curtain with indifferent eyes.
“The flame of Cheonhwamanli Incense has already left my hand. “The flame that surpasses the constraints of time will burn the veil and become a new gateway in itself.”
[….]
“Everyone will remember that I broke down the first gate of the Central Front and built a new one.”
Lennok laughed.
“That’s enough.”
Grumbling…!!!
The flames on the curtain converge to one point and rotate in a circle.
A huge ring of flames rose in the sky and brightly illuminated the ruined earth.
Lennok, who was looking at the ring of flames floating above the ruined gateway city, took a step forward.
A quiet street where flames and snow fall. A silence that seems as if time has stopped amidst the fluttering fireworks.
“This is the last time, Michal Zelich.”
Lennok said as he walked alone through the city, where the flames of Heavenly Harmony Incense had ascended and everything had become quiet.
“When you first met me and talked to me, you mentioned an artifact for pyrokinesis.”
[….]
“The Ritual Weapon that was given to you by Empress Appelia. “Even when I searched the alcohol’s life area, I couldn’t find even a trace.”
The ritual weapon he mentioned to appease Lennok the moment he first met Zelich’s left brain.
Lennok did not forget Zelich’s presence when he met him again.
It is the last weapon and artifact that must be taken from this gateway city.
The reason Michal Zelich’s left brain was recovered and kept alive was also to retrieve the bloody planet.
“Where is it?”
[…That.]
Zelich trailed off.
After hesitating for a while, he asked in a broken voice.
[If you tell me that… could you kill me with your flame?]
“Depending on your answer, it might be possible.”
Zelich, who hesitated at Lennok’s harsh answer, muttered.
[I have lived too long… Most of my life was a time of suffering from those who coveted my abilities.]
“….”
[I was not strong enough to endure a life I did not want. From the beginning, this kind of talent… was not suitable for me.]
I was born with a talent that I could not control, and suffered and suffered for the rest of my life.
The life that Michal Zelich has lived is nothing short of experiencing the pain experienced by other people with natural abilities multiplied dozens of times.
It wouldn’t have been strange for him, who couldn’t find the right answer for himself, to want to feel comfortable before the ending.
Did Lennok’s non-answer actually give Zelich confidence?
[The ritual weapon, Hwangseong, is not a weapon with a shape.]
Only after a while did his left brain emit slow mental waves.
[In order to take it over, the life of a member connected to the Aphelia throne’s mental network is needed.]
“…You need the life of a member of the leaflet organization?”
The existence of a ritual weapon that can only be handed over in exchange for one’s life.
The moment when Lennok suddenly stopped walking at that unexpected fact.
“aha.”
A low male voice echoed from behind Lennok.
“I finally achieved that monstrous magnetic field.”
Weeeeeeeee!!!
The very large drill that protruded through the ruins of the building rotated violently.
In the blink of an eye, the spot where Lennoc was standing was swept away, leaving a huge scar on the ground.
Kwaaaa!!
A heavy roar burst through the quiet ruins of the gateway city.
Someone was scratching their head as they looked at Lennok, who had used blink to avoid the drill.
“Wow, the reaction is faster than I expected. “Are you really sure you just came here after fighting with the conjugate drinker?”
“…It’s not a magic trick.”
Lenok turned his gaze with a stern expression and looked back at his opponent, who was standing on the collapsed bell tower.
A silver-haired man wearing light travel clothes. A sharp look that makes you look like you’re around 30.
Although it was his first time seeing his face, what Lennok noticed about him was not his appearance.
A huge metal drill that the man fired at Lennok. Because I realized that it wasn’t a magic trick.
Superpower to manipulate metal based on mental power.
And at this point, there was only one superpower organization that could invade the gateway city.
Is it really a coincidence that things happened like this at the time I heard Zelich’s explanation?
Lennok, who quickly reviewed the situation in his head, raised his magic power and asked.
“Leaflet for enlightenment of abilities. “Don’t you think it’s too early to stab me in the back at this point?”
“That question has no meaning at the time you stimulated the collective mind network.”
The man slowly lowered his hand and looked down at Lennok with a sharp gaze and said.
“Emperor Appelia has recognized your presence. She is looking for you.”
