Genius Magician Who Eats Medicine
Episode 723 Burglary (16)
Shortly after Lennok raised the indelible black sun on the altar of the sun and returned to reality.
The chant of Taegeuk Hwasin, which burned the closed area, stood tall as if time had stopped.
The flames of the ceremonial magic that had risen were reversed into the flames of black flames and pierced them to the ground.
Kuhwaaaaaaaa!!!
Beyond the collapsed theme park, the waves of black flame rippling over the field of trash spread far away in an instant.
Leaving behind Tatiana, who was staring blankly up at the sky, Lennok, who returned to reality, landed on the ground.
“Take Angel with you and escape quickly. I do not have time.”
“What happened? Master… … ?!!”
Even while Lennok overturned the world of consciousness, the consciousness was still in progress in reality
.
Not to mention, the presence of the pagoda owner, who descended as an incarnation by using the corpse as firewood, is no longer felt.
While Tatiana looked around in bewilderment, Lennok lifted Tatiana up with a tired expression.
Lennok replied to Tatiana, who stood up awkwardly.
“I have officially inherited the authority of the Phoenix Hall. You have acquired the ninth power.”
“…!!!!”
Tatiana glanced back at Lennok with the utmost surprise.
“Well then…!!”
Lennok declared without batting an eye.
“From now on, call me Master.”
“…Tatiana
, who had been silent with her mouth wide open, came to her senses a little later.
“No no!! You didn’t become my teacher just because of that!”
“Looks like you haven’t lost your mind yet.”
Saying that, Lenok headed for the sewers to escape the black flames burning from all sides.
“Let’s find Angel quickly. In the current environment, it would not be very good.”
“Wait a minute. So, the magic tower you originally planned to build… … ?”
Tatiana asked as if she couldn’t stand it while exploring the sewer system with Lenok.
“The plan will go ahead as usual. It’s just that the order has changed.”
“The order has changed?”
“Originally, I was thinking of borrowing Blaver’s system after building the tower.”
Lennok answered as he walked towards the restrooms at the theme park mall.
“It’s like we’ve already taken care of what’s needed to fix the system. Actually, I wanted to work in a more stable environment than this, but… … .”
As the head of the pagoda unexpectedly appeared, Lennok had no choice but to proceed with the succession ceremony of the Phoenix Hall.
An image of flame magic that exists in Lennok.
In the future of observation of the divergence point, the magnetic realm Black Sea Shinra was obtained.
After countless battles and research, Lennok carved the black sun into the solar system.
As long as Lennok lives and breathes, the sun’s flame will continue to burn within the tower’s solar system, never to be extinguished.
After hearing the explanation, Tatiana’s expression changed seriously as she understood the whole story.
“Master is not the kind of person who will never spare a person who has once turned into an enemy.”
“….”
“If I hadn’t known that you inherited authority, it could have ended with just me… … .”
“Maybe.”
Lennok, who found Angel passed out at the end of the toilet seat, answered.
“But at this point, it was unavoidable. So what I did… … .”
Tie Angel with magicians, throw them into the cart with Peisha, and look away.
“It was to weaken the authority of the tower owner and damage the system itself by imposing subordinates he could not control.”
“….”
“It will take time to sort things out since you left the inside of the conscious world upside down. The pagoda owner should also focus on managing his image.”
The reason why Lennok forcibly punched the image into the solar system of the Mage Tower and carved the ninth sun into it.
It was because there was a certainty that Lennok and the tower lord’s authority would collide and the foundation of the tower lord’s power would be shaken.
Even if the tower lord learned magic from another world, the source of that was the flame magic of the Blaber Magic Tower.
Having an abnormality in the tower’s solar system that supports its authority is no different from a big blow to the owner of the tower.
Even more so, the burden of having to continue the power of the opponent he said he would burn himself to death within the same consciousness world.
Even seeing the image of the black sun burning right next to him, he couldn’t use his hands.
At this point, Lennok knew very well how to deliver the most lethal blow and humiliation to the opponent who was about to kill him.
“Since they have the same authority, they will be able to recognize the change once the tower lord begins to gather power.”
After walking out of the theme park, Lennok turned to Tatiana and smiled.
“Even if we cannot directly find out the plan of the tower owner, we can be aware of when it will resume its activities.”
“…I never thought that a solar system could be such a comfortable concept.”
Tatiana nodded with a timid expression.
“I still can’t believe it. For Master to be usurped in this way… … .”
“If I were to argue, it’s because the tower owner made her own power unstable first.”
Lennok replied.
Lennok looked at Tatiana, who seemed somewhat relieved.
“All that’s left is… … I’m just thinking about how to get out of here.”
“what?”
Tatiana was frightened by the words she muttered while looking at the field of the closed area swaying with black flame.
“Wait a minute, wasn’t that Black Flame made by you? Why are you thinking about how to get out?”
“What I did was to create authority in the consciousness world and use that authority to reverse the nature of the magic Tamju wielded. It didn’t take away control.”
Lennok shrugged.
“I don’t even have the magical power left to control it in the first place. If you get too close, you will be burned to death.”
“…then?”
Tatiana asked.
“Did we just stand still and burn to death?”
“…hmm.”
“….”
An awkward silence followed.
“No, after going through such dramatic deaths one after another, here…?”
While Tatiana stared blankly at the swaying black flame, Lennok smiled faintly and slightly lifted her gaze.
Right after that, the sound of helicopters suddenly echoed overhead.
Tutatatata!!!
“Hey solid!!”
A girl with bloody, fluorescent hair dangling from the door of the helicopter was waving.
Tatiana checked the girl’s face and her complexion brightened.
“Merilda!!”
“Are you still alive?!”
Originally, flying equipment that cannot be dreamed of in the outskirts where magnetic storms rage.
However, Merylda, who escaped before Lennok, arrived to help them in a helicopter equipped with an anti-gravity engine developed by Evan.
The result of research to commercialize the anti-gravity engine inside the cartel.
Watching the helicopter doors melting in the heat of the black salt, Merylda screamed in fright.
“It’s so hot I’m going to die. Ride quickly!!”
* * *
The black flames that spread to Area 59 only subsided after incinerating about 6% of the waste piled up in the closed area.
The statistical data revealed after the incident and the black flames witnessed beyond the barrier became a hot topic on the deep web for a while.
Those who knew the incident at the Bagoong Fort knew that the black fire was similar to that time, but kept quiet.
At the time, the wizard who caused black flames in the fortress has now become a madman that no one can easily touch.
There was no one to take responsibility even if a bolt of lightning fell on your head while bragging about information.
Now, even trivial information about fastness is being traded with considerable value.
After the incident that almost burned down the entire closed area ended, even the rumors became information and wandered around the shadowy trading network.
Lennok was standing in front of the cartel’s chairman’s office.
dump!!
Lennok put down Peisha, who had been restrained by chains engraved with incantations.
“You Peysha Grisburn. I brought you alive as promised.”
[…] … .]
The library in the chairman’s office, where all kinds of books and papers are piled up.
On the other side of the veil hanging over it, I hear the sound of something squeaking.
Soon, a figure shimmered on the other side of the veil, and rainbow-colored eyes shone through the veil.
After sitting like that for a while, staring at the figures of Lennok and Peysha, Oliveira let out a faint sigh.
[I didn’t expect much, but it seems to have tied the knot better than I thought.]
“The bosses over there did a pretty good job.”
Lennok answered, lighting a candle.
“So I paid a little attention. I also had other things to do.”
[…] … It sounds like you’ve had quite a bit of trouble. All of them are like that.]
A faint smile was mixed with Oliviera’s glory.
[It was like that before, but there was no one who wasn’t poisonous. So I didn’t expect to see this woman’s face again alive… … .]
Peisha was conscious, her eyes open, and she was staring at the veil without a word.
Rather than being afraid of the fact that he had been caught up to this point, he reacted as if he was trying to stare straight at Oliviera.
Oliviera didn’t care about Peisha’s appearance and lightly beckoned from the other side of the veil.
thud!!
Red-skinned giants standing like jangseung on both sides of the chairman’s room lead Peisha’s recruits and disappear.
Lennok, who was looking at the scene with a stream of smoke, asked.
“What do you plan to do with you?”
[well…I’m not sure either. I didn’t want that woman’s recruit with a special goal.]
Oliviera replied in a slow tone.
[It may have been that he needed a companion to recall the memory of the deceased.]
“….”
Who would believe that the cartel’s chairman wanted someone to talk to and tried to capture Peysha?
Responding that he did not want to reveal his purpose openly, Lennok immediately changed the subject.
“I heard that Kaise’s son, Ethan Bazur, is leading Dead Rise.”
[…] … .]
“Did you know?”
The silent shadow of Oliveira.
Lennok looked at him and said again.
“Are you going to say that this is also something that cannot be said because it is forbidden?”
[…] … Ambiguous.]
Oliviera replied.
She slowly tossed and turned on the other side of the veil and, leaning on an angle, rang out.
[But I’ll take into consideration what you’ve done this time and answer.]
“…”
[What are you curious about?]
“I heard that his son died a long time ago, and even Kaise does not know of the existence of his granddaughter.”
Lennok asked.
“A man like Kaise couldn’t have mistaken that fact, so there must be a hidden secret.”
[…] … .]
“Which one?”
Lenoch’s question with the subject omitted. But both understood what it meant.
Oliviera, who was directly involved in the project, and Lennok, who returned after seeing memories of the past.
Because the one memory that the two shared from different timelines was connecting the thread of conversation, albeit faintly.
[Which one do you think?]
Instead of answering the question right away, Oliviera asked Lennok back.
As if I wanted to know Lennok’s thoughts on this question.
That attitude seemed rather to be enjoying the current dialogue, but Lennok was also convinced.
Considering the restraints she had, in the end, it would be cleaner for Lennok to infer directly and verify the conclusion.
“well…The first thing that comes to mind is the possibility that the head of Dead Rise is impersonating Kaise’s son.”
said Lennok.
“On the premise that Ethan Bajour is actually dead, he borrows that name to lead Dead Rise. Either way, this situation is the most realistic. but….”
[But?]
The worried Lennok opened his mouth slowly.
“The leaders of Dead Rise I’ve seen weren’t the ones who would give their lives for a dubious impersonation.”
Dead Rise is a private military company created by Kaise’s henchmen.
However, Lennok was able to fully realize their skills and experience while dealing with Gilleon of the past and Peisha of the present.
The level of intuition and judgment they showed in the battle with the two strongmen could never be ignored even by Lennok.
Considering the level of determination they left behind, it is also difficult to understand that they are being deceived by a fair amount of impersonation or lies.
In the end, isn’t one piece of the puzzle missing to connect this disconnected cause and effect?
Lennok personally led Paisha’s recruits to find Oliviera in order to ask the truth.
“The head of Dead Rise has a reason. Or maybe there was a tacit agreement between the leaders.”
Oliviera did not answer Lennok’s words for a long time.
Rather than being speechless, he reacted as if he was slowly choosing what to say from now on.
She spoke very slowly from the other side of the curtain, and her voice resonated clearly.
[Human nature is complex and contradictory, so it is not always possible to wield one’s own will.]
“….”
[The same is true for talents and qualities. Ambiguous and ambiguous aptitude is sometimes not a blessing but a curse.]
She murmured as she cast a glance at the expressionless Lennok.
[That’s why sometimes, rather, it becomes stronger after death and forcibly rewinds the fate that has already ended.]
“…what?”
Instantly understanding her words, Lennok’s expression changed dramatically.
Because he knew that what Oliviera was saying was about Kaise’s natural constitution.
What is the contradiction that his son, who was born with an innately ambiguous constitution, became stronger after his son died?
Oliviera’s words suggested only one possibility.
Reinforcement of retrograde magic power. The second hand moves by rewinding the spring on a stopped watch.
The meaning of the word forcibly rewinding the fate that has ended.
[Reviving the dead.]
Oliveira laughed.
[You’ve probably heard of this concept at least once, right?] The
silent Lennok asked slowly, as if confirming her words.
“Kaise’s son… … Are you saying you came back to life after death?”
There are many magics that use the thoughts left behind after death or the spirit and body, but reviving the dead is a completely different story.
The concept of dividing human life and death is so absolute in magic.
Although it may be possible to play a trick before reaching that standard, it is impossible to go back after crossing the boundary of life and death.
Oliviera was now saying that Caise’s son was a resurrected person.
[Kaise had a very rare constitution, but his greatest talent was not retrograde magic.]
“….”
[Then, wouldn’t it be strange if his son inherited that quality to some extent?] It
was almost a pun, but Lennok could not help but understand what Oliviera was conveying even if he didn’t like it.
Kaise, whom he met in the closed area, was a designer with tremendous intelligence and judgment that Lennok admired.
His declaration that he would change the world was not a complacent idea based on his own talent.
A determination to follow through on all the failures in this world and find the only correct answer at the end.
A brilliant mind and leadership enough to put that reckless plan into action and attract monsters from all over the world to success.
If Kaise’s son inherited that talent to some extent.
“…Even death may have been his plan. Was that even a design to deceive Kaise?”
[well. It’s something that can’t be judged that far.]
Oliviera answered slowly, catching her breath.
[But look. How extensive and severe is the ban imposed on project officials.]
“….”
At the same time, thick blood dripped down the veil.
Could it be that the momentary slowdown of speech was due to a moment of patience to endure unimaginable agony?
Oliviera continued with a faint voice.
[It activates just by being aware of it, and it puts life and death on the line. It was something we all agreed on, but that’s why it’s such a terrible bondage.]
“….”
[We don’t know what condition Kaise’s son is in right now. But can’t you guess whether that statement is true or not by looking at the name of the organization he leads
?
“Dead Rise….”
Where the essence of the word is. Because I felt like I knew it now.
