Drug-Eating Genius Mage Chapter 680

Genius Magician Who Takes Medicine Episode 680

The Oldest Lineage (2)

Doo Doo Doo!!

The shape of a truck running through a barren wasteland.

“It seems that Reisen Azamaha has been personally collecting information about the old lineage for a long time.”

The young man behind the wheel put down his phone and turned his head.

“It is presumed that in the process, he contacted the black magicians and borrowed their power to devise a plan to siphon off slush funds.”

“….”

“Even though he failed and was consumed by an unknown power, that’s probably… … .”

Lennok silently took out a small relic ring from inside his bosom and looked at it.

A ring obtained in exchange for doing the old warlock Raul’s request.

An object that could not find any other ability other than floating the shape of an old tree through the change of magical properties.

Lennok knew that this was a symbol of an ancient wizarding family, but he couldn’t find any other clues.

Though I thought I would get a chance someday, I turned off my nerves, but I didn’t know that I would be involved again with the foreign media.

The shape of the tree drawn on the ring and the fragment of the extinct tree that Lennok obtained.

It would be rather strange if there was no relationship between these two concepts.

‘It’s the oldest lineage… … .’

As Lennok traveled the continent and sought knowledge, he knew that several ancient wizarding families existed.

However, what is related to this case right now is undoubtedly a lineage that uses black magic as a symbol of extinction.

And Lennok had some idea of who the owner of this lineage was.

Armand, a young man, continued to explain while driving the truck.

“If the warlocks hold the secret of the situation, it would be a priority to hear from them about Reisen’s corruption.”

Before answering Armand’s words, Lennok slightly opened his eyes and stared at the rearview mirror.

“I think we should first hear why the central council aide is still accompanying us. Isn’t it?”

“….”

At that light word, Armand broke out in a cold sweat with a nervous expression.

“…Our aides represent the presence of the Central Council in case of emergencies.”

“credit?”

“If it is necessary to prove parliamentary involvement in external activities, aides are moving instead.”

Armand responded by gently turning the steering wheel.

“Of course, in the case of official intervention or a major incident, the special agency under the direct control of the parliament acts as an agent, but….”

“If you’re doing things in secret, you’re saying that sometimes they’re put in.”

“As long as I accompany you, you will not be asked to appear or testify about this. That is why aides exist.”

It is a position that exists to assist the Senate in everything it does.

It is unknown why a psychic as unique as Armand was involved in such a thing, but as always, Lennok did not bother to ask.

I just concentrated on holding the fragments of the branch of the tree of extinction that I had obtained from Reisen in my hand.

Keying… … !!

Projects mana synchronized with foreign encroachments through omnidirectional mana sensing.

Lennok, who instantly found the most reactive direction in the vicinity of the undeveloped district, pointed in the direction of the setting sun.

“It is over there.”

Sweat began to form on Armand’s forehead as he drove the truck toward the sunset.

“Wait, that place….”

As soon as I crossed the ridge of the sand dune, the traces of a huge construction site spread out below.

All sorts of equipment and workers of unknown use move busily in all directions, and thick drums come and go without a break.

Every time the thick pipes installed here and there pulsated, black liquid leaked out and soaked the sand.

The hot heat rising on the ground and the strong smell of oil that makes you forget even the sensation.

It was hereditary.

“….”

Armand, who had been staring blankly at the scenery spread out beneath his feet for a long time, turned his gaze away.

“I…Mr. Van. here….”

“okay.”

“You have to be sure, Mr. Van.”

Armand’s expression was shaking.

“If you turn the oil fields upside down and nothing comes of it, the two of us will be charged with huge damages in the future.”

“….”

“I’m not afraid of dying, but my account becoming a negative passbook…The card is seized… … Ugh!!”

Just imagining it, Armand grabbing his stomach, as if he had a stomach ache.

Lennok looked away without a snort.

“Stop talking nonsense and go downstairs.”

“Ban-sama!!”

I was already getting out of the truck and going down the dunes. Armand sighed, started the truck, and followed.

Lennok, who did not hesitate to cross the oil pipeline and approached the workers, stared blankly at them.

The black oiled workers found Lennok belatedly and frowned.

“what? who are you?”

“Why do you look at people in a bad way….”

The workers, who confirmed the elegant silver staff and black coats, were about to scream, but retreated slightly.

“…Are you a manager by any chance?”

“If you have business, go over there to the field headquarters.”

The workers continued to grumble, as if they had to say something, even as they watched Lennok notice.

“I can’t even get a goddamn rest.”

“I want to close my eyes quickly….”

“Ban.”

Armand, who had followed, opened his mouth cautiously, watching Lennok notice.

“These are normal people. If you kill me because you don’t like it, you’ll be responsible later… … .”

“….”

He seemed to know what Armand thought of fastness, but Lennok didn’t respond. Instead, he told the workers.

“You can rest if you want to rest.”

“what?”

“I am responsible. Close your eyes and relax. Let’s talk to the field headquarters.”

At those words, the complexion of the workers instantly brightened.

“Oh, it’s been a while since a manager with whom I can communicate has arrived.”

“Well then, without hesitation…wait for a sec…lol.”

The workers leaned against the pipeline with a rather happy expression and tilted their heads back.

However, it wasn’t long before the workers rose from their seats with a bewildered expression.

“…I can’t sleep.”

“Strange. I was so sleepy until just now… … .”

“No, how did you sleep?”

“….”

Lennok asked again while Armand’s expression hardened little by little.

“How long have you been working here?”

“yes? It’s been quite a while.”

“If I had to count the number of years…what?”

The workers tilt their heads again.

“I have been working for a very long time. I can’t remember… … .”

“Come to think of it, when did you go home?”

Lennok asked again.

“How old are you?”

“my…age…?”

“age? what age… … ji?”

The voices of the workers cut off little by little, as if the tape was breaking.

At the same time, the faces of ordinary workers began to twist little by little.

Lennok looked at the workers and asked again.

As if to drive a wedge into the questions so far.

“What are your names?”

“….”

The silent workers spoke.

“…I don’t remember.”

“Who was I?”

“I am me…What are you doing here?”

“Unbelievable….”

Beyond the eyes of Armand, who mumbled with a pale complexion, the dead who couldn’t even remember their names wriggled.

“Nana…Wanna go back… … .”

“Where are you?”

“I’m fine…!!!”

The skin of the workers turned inside out, rotting muscles and bones protruding into hideous monstrous shapes.

The figure of a howling beast with bone fragments drenched in black oil all over its body.

[Quaaaaaaaa!!!]

Armand muttered blankly as he saw that.

“They were all dead from the start.”

“It’s an abandoned oil field after drilling a long time ago.”

Lennok replied.

“Oil is leaking from the oil pipeline, but there is no intention to fix it, and the drilling well is broken and stuck in the ground. I don’t see any villages or facilities that should be near oil fields.”

“that….”

“There was a major accident and all the people involved were massacred and buried alive.”

“….”

“In that state, they were disguising themselves as normal oil fields by eating the corpses soaked in crude oil buried under the oil fields.”

[BIG!!]

Lennok explained, pointing at the fat monster that looked like a skinny, twisted pony charging right in front of him.

“Making the dead belong to the realm of necromantics, but it is not impossible with other systems. Even necromancy is sufficient, especially if it is enough to hold the spirit of the dead in the body. but….”

The moment I put my finger between the forehead of the monster that couldn’t pierce the shield.

[Neungroe (凌雷)]

Dismissal!!

A blue electric current burst out and blew up the entire lump of oil on the spot.

Whoa!!

Lennok said, leaving behind the oil shards that slipped and were blocked by an invisible shield in the air.

“It doesn’t take long to become a monster that has lost most of its intellect and left no humanity behind.”

“….”

“There must be a specific word for this phenomenon, but I don’t know how it is called in necromancy….”

Trampling on the broken oil pipeline and seizure monsters, we head towards the oilfield central drilling tower.

A close inspection of the dusty drill tower, broken in half, made it clear that it had completely stopped functioning.

“…It is as Van said.”

In the meantime, the alter egos of Armand, who made several alter egos and explored various places in the oil field, said.

“The workers here have all died and turned into monsters, and the facility seems to have been out of action for decades.”

There are unknown oily substances all over the bodies of the clones who may have fought monsters.

Lennok looked at the alter egos of Armand with an interesting expression and asked.

“Your alter egos seem to have real bodies. How exactly does it work?”

“yes…?”

“Most of them have psychic powers, but it’s quite different for an innate ability.”

The alter egos of Armand, who were looking at each other in bewilderment, spoke.

“Basically a replica…It’s a way of replicating my image and imbuing it with power individually.”

Armand 5 received Armand 2’s words.

“To the extent that we create a foundation with intentions and infuse magical power to build reality, the more the number increases, the weaker it becomes.”

“So I use two or three during battle and increase the number only when exploration is necessary.”

“Right….”

“I’ve explored the entire oil field with clones, but I couldn’t find the proper entrance or passage.”

While Lennok was lost in thought, Armand let out a deep sigh as he noticed and returned the alter egos to one.

“I’m sure they’re working near an oil field… … I don’t know where to start digging.”

“I am not working near an oil field. You must have seen the oil leaking through the pipelines?”

“yes?”

“It can’t be that oil is still leaking from an oil pipeline that has been broken for decades.”

When Armand seemed to have no idea, Lennoc explained again.

“The cracks in the oil pipelines are recent signs. What do you think it means pumping oil through a broken pipe?”

“….”

“These guys aren’t hiding near oil fields. rather…

said Lennok, walking up into the turret.

“It’s hiding right under the oil field.”

The moment Lennok found a lever that was unusually oil-free among the fragments of the broken drill tower and pulled it.

The entire oil field began to sink as if sinking downward.

Koo Goo Goo!!

The oil field, which looked like a wide sandy plain, sinks entirely and starts spewing out fountains of oil from all sides.

At the same time, the shape of a field that rapidly descends to the bottom of the ground.

The oil flowing under your feet acts as a lubricant by beating the part that rubs against the passageway.

Unable to overcome the heat of friction, it burned and created passages of flame in all directions.

In an instant, the oil field, which had been sunk dozens of meters down, stopped in front of a dark underground cave like an elevator.

Awesome!!

An underground cave made of pitch-black bedrock where no light shines through.

It is as if they are waiting for their approach with their mouths wide open.

Armand muttered as he held his sword nervously.

“How could there be such a deep underground cave under the sandy beach…!!”

“The mana extracted from the corpse was applied with oil and mixed with sand to harden it.”

Lennok admired as he lightly brushed the black walls of the underground cave.

“It’s much tougher than I thought. By forcibly mixing and hardening mana, it has a strength that originally did not exist in oil… … .”

“Ban.”

Armand asked in a hard voice.

As he took a step forward, Armand’s body split into three parts.

“I will lead the way here. Can you help me from the rear?”

oldest lineage. And the warlocks who are related to the existence of extinction.

I don’t know what awaits me on the other side of the cave, but it’s not strange if there’s a secret hidden in Bondy Armand that’s never allowed.

All he had to do now was risk his life to assist the wizard.

The moment Armand, who had raised his mana while being very nervous, was slowly trying to narrow the distance into the cave.

“Before we go in, I’ll cast a simple spell on you. It will help.”

“All right.”

Lennok, who looked at Armand’s alter egos with interest, spoke.

“Now that things have come to this, there are things I want to experiment with.”

“yes? It’s an experiment-”

The moment Armand 3 looked bewildered at Lennok.

The intense lightning that fell from the sky hit the head of Armand 3 as it was.

“Agggg!!!”

“Ban-sama!!”

“Why are you attacking me…!! what? the pain… … .”

Embarrassed Armand 1 jumped up and hurriedly tried to widen the distance, but made a puzzled expression.

It was because I started to feel the boiling power to a different level, not the burning pain.

Lennok asked as he watched Armand 3 tremble in place.

“If you cast augmentation magic on only one clone, can the other clones share the power?”

[Chu Bak-chain]

[Yeo-roe-sin(余雷身)]

[The Four-West Three-Geuk(思瑞三極)]

“What the heck is this… … !!”

Pitch Pitch!!

Blue thunderbolts bounced around Armand 3’s body, and the rotational speed of its magic accelerated.

A sense of condensation as the eyes of blue light floated between the lines of sight, and the presence of the whole body stood up sharply.

Everyone opened their mouths at the vision of their hair standing on end and the ends dyed with a blue light.

Armand 3 looked at the tips of his hands, which were generating electric shocks from all over his body, with a fish-eyed expression.

“This…?”

“This is the third revision of the lightning-type augmentation magic I devised.”

Lennok nodded, arms crossed.

“You mean the dog revision?”

“Out of the three versions, the output is the best, but on the contrary, the efficiency and fuel economy are the worst.”

“….”

“After experimenting, it seems that the power is not dispersed even if you apply augmentation magic to a specific clone. thank god.”

At Lennok’s words, Armand’s other alter egos answered tremblingly.

“I don’t know what I’m happy about, but….”

“I think I know.”

At that moment, Armand 3, who had been silently lowering his head, opened his mouth.

His gaze, shining with blue light, was already filled with an unknown certainty.

“Didn’t you directly admit that I am the body of the alter ego?”

“…what?”

Ignoring Armand 1 and Armand 2 opening their mouths, Armand 3 strode forward.

“Whether or not the self-independence that inevitably exists for those with alter ego abilities. I got it approved directly by the Archmage.”

“Oh no what are you talking about!!”

“Why the hell did I suddenly have psychic powers…!!”

Embarrassed Armand 1 hurriedly tried to retrieve his psychic powers, but Armand 3 did not look back at Armand 1.

Instead, he confidently asked Lennok in a completely different tone.

“If the alter ego has greater power than the main body, is that an alter ego or the main body?”

“….”

“I realized that my alter ego is also a person, has a self, and deserves equal rights with the main body. I salute you for teaching it.”

Lennok laughed at Armand 3’s words and asked.

“I think your personality has changed a lot?”

“Because from the moment I was reborn with the power of you, I am no longer Armand Martins.”

Armand 3 answered with a confident tone.

“As you wish, I will cooperate as a front-line officer for this situation only. But after the work is over, I will leave the Balkans.”

“…what?”

“I’m fed up with living as an aide to the Central Council.”

Armand 3 crossed his arms as if mocking the other alter egos.

“I will abandon my identity as an alter ego and enjoy the new life that Kyeon-roe has given me.”

“….”

The other alter egos of Armand stare at Lennok without saying anything to that staggering declaration.

Lennok looked at him and tilted his head.

“I didn’t even think about enhancing consciousness…Was it a little too much?”
