The Medicine-Taking Genius Wizard Episode 886:
The Eye that Sees Destiny (22)
The magic tower of fastness located in area 49.
Those gathered in the hospital room where Dylan, who had collapsed, had been escorted were checking the results of the examination.
“Grade 1B full body burns. Extreme exhaustion. Impact of the thigh and lower coffin. “Is this a significant scar right now?”
“It’s difficult to know what happened at the time because regeneration was in progress even while being transported.”
“I tested my blood alcohol level, but it didn’t mean much. “In fact, the concentration of hormones released when resisting mental techniques is much stronger.”
“Considering that he was left alone at the scene of the incident, the result seems to have been quite one-sided.”
“It’s one-sided…”
Felix’s expression as he looked at Dylan subtly hardened.
“Are you really sure that the wizard fought alone?”
“I knocked it out just enough so that it didn’t die and left it there. “He must be used to fighting someone with powerful regenerative abilities like Dylan.”
“….”
The other mercenaries also fell silent in disbelief at Zordon’s diagnosis.
Dylan is a warrior who is highly regarded for his interpersonal skills throughout the office and company.
As an immortal, he also has excellent regenerative abilities that constantly regenerates his body.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was very good at doing his part in most battles and was particularly specialized in survival, but he collapsed without being able to run away.
Isn’t this impossible unless the abilities of a wizard named Evan far surpass Dylan’s abilities?
“I heard that he easily killed dozens of mercenaries, but I never thought it would be like this…”
“Maybe there were other helpers? “You fought against Dylan alone and won?”
The other superhumans standing around Dylan quickly began exchanging opinions.
“If there was a helper, he would have been accompanying me even before the wanted order was issued. “It’s unlikely.”
[He is being chased by a wanted order issued throughout the Balkans. There is no way he has any companions.]
“Then you really mean that the wizard fought against Dillon alone and won…”
A wizard who can directly engage in hand-to-hand combat in the front line, not as fire support in the rear.
It is a talent that cannot be said to be common even among magicians who are gifted with all kinds of outstanding talents.
They already knew better than anyone else how dangerous a wizard who had honed his combat skills to the limit was.
Belver muttered with a serious expression.
“In the worst case, it could be like a deteriorating version of Ban… “This is really dangerous.”
“There is no doubt that he is a war mage with a lot of combat experience. “There was a reason why he was in charge of the lighthouse keeper’s security alone.”
“At this level, there are likely to be several unknown majors. “Shouldn’t we dig into the background?”
“Felix Tatiana. what do you think about it?”
Ignoring those who were heatedly discussing Evan, Jenny immediately asked a question.
“Can you win against your old class?”
“….”
“It’s a difficult problem.”
Felix remained silent and Tatiana responded, burning the cigarette with a listless expression.
“Even in the center, you don’t often meet that type of genius. “First of all, it’s a structure I’ve almost never imagined.”
Would it be possible to win if you were a level 7 lightning bolt rather than someone who reached level 8 and became an archmage?
What if you’re half of level 6 and haven’t even completed the root imagery yet?
Ironically, even Felix and Tatiana cannot be sure of that.
Ban’s combat performance ability. This is because the mental realm, which is dismissed as a battle of numbers, psychological warfare, prediction, and intuition, has already reached an unrivaled level.
Rather, the hierarchy that Gömnoe obtained is merely evidence that the results followed the completed strength long after.
And if a wizard named Evan Martinez is a being with a talent similar to that of a minor enemy –
“If the premise is to develop the microcosm and territory first and then enter the battle, then the fight will be established.”
Tatyana said.
“At the same time, the condition of keeping the opponent’s territory in check is necessary. “It is possible to develop a non-image realm that does not contain imagery even at level 6, let alone at level 7.”
“….”
“Or, in the complete opposite direction, we should continue to expand the territory and drag it into a war of attrition.”
Tatyana, who was tapping the ashtray with a cigarette between her fingers, gestured.
She said, pointing to the rapidly burning tobacco filter.
“In this case, you must decide in advance the order in which your troops will use the imagery device. In particular, it is a relative method that assumes that there is a microcosm with good magic efficiency.”
“Oh…”
Wei An exclaimed.
“Tatiana, when you say things like that, you seem very old. “I think I finally feel like a veteran.”
“Do you want to run back, kid?”
The sight of Tatiana holding Wei An’s head in frustration.
However, Tatiana’s explanation contained details that would be difficult to explain to anyone but an experienced person, to the extent that Jenny, who is not an expert, agreed.
This may be because it is a coping mechanism she learned while dealing with many powerful superhumans and magicians in the center.
“It’s just a guess, but I think it would be best to avoid a war of attrition if possible.”
“Why?”
“The burn marks left on Dylan’s body. “This is a remnant of the flame magic taught at Blaver Magic Tower.”
Tatiana said, looking down at Dylan’s reddened skin.
“He could possibly be my teacher’s student.”
“…A wizard from Blaver Magic Tower?”
“Yes, especially these burn marks, this is a pattern I have never seen before…”
Tatyana’s expression became slightly alarmed.
“He must be a possessor of extremely deformed magical powers. “His magical power operates in a different way than that of existing magicians.”
“….”
“In the first place, in a war of attrition against a high-ranking magician, there is too much information to know in advance. “The amount of magic power consumed per second, the magic efficiency when using large-scale spells, and the yield of the spell that is implemented immediately after chanting… Without prior information, it is just a meaningless two-hand plan.”
The fact that the maximum horsepower was increased by absorbing the magic of the open sea was also the fact that the magic power control method was distorted in the process.
Although she does not understand the essence, Tatiana is able to guess a guess that is infinitely close to the correct answer just by looking at Dylan’s wounds.
“If that’s what you said, you should definitely avoid one-on-one encounters.”
Jenny also seemed to think that Tatiana’s words were correct, so she nodded and took out the terminal.
Jenny, who was tapping her phone while looking down at the fallen Dylan, said.
“You may know that the lighthouse keeper is in the magic tower. In the worst case, they might target Area 49.”
“The odds are high.”
Felix nodded.
“He’s a wizard strong enough to survive and continue the battle even after being hit by Ban’s magic. “If he has that level of capability, he would definitely be aware of the existence of the Magic Tower.”
“good. “I will warn the officials in the tower and tell them not to wander outside the tower for the time being.”
“Is it okay if we don’t have to evacuate the employees of our partner businesses separately?”
“Where?”
“….”
[This magic tower is an area declared by Ban himself in Area 49.]
Manson supplemented his explanation, looking back at Mila who was speechless.
[If a guy named Evan crawls into the tower on his own feet, then it won’t be a matter for us to intervene.]
“Huh? Why is that again?”
Manson let out a dark laugh at Wei An’s puzzled question.
[That would mean that he is either a madman who entered the archmage’s domain with his bare body, or a monster who has reached a level similar to Ban.] “….” [Wouldn’t it be the
same
that it wouldn’t be a problem for us to worry about either way?]
“ “It’s a creepy thing to even imagine…”
Manson’s explanation was so creepy that even Bellver muttered while rubbing his forearm without thinking.
However, the sentiments shared by others were not much different.
If the wizard named Evan is a monster who has reached that level and tries to retrieve the lighthouse keeper at any cost, this discussion itself will be meaningless.
In the first place, is there a wizard with talent comparable to Ban? Such speculation has no meaning.
Breaking all existing common sense and prejudice, wasn’t the Archmage right by their side in a corner of the Balkan region?
“He hasn’t stopped moving since the wanted order was issued, right? “It is clear that he is a wizard who specializes in independent action.”
“I’ve been moving without stopping for several days. “Are they making up for their lack of stamina with pure magical power?”
“I have requested information disclosure from the cartel regarding the battle that took place in Area 45. “If Virgil doesn’t reject you for no reason, I can receive related information.”
The mercenaries who were talking about Evan quickly changed the topic.
“How is Lapis Falseer?”
“He was unbelievably calm. “I know he’s young, but he has very strong self-control.”
Mila shrugged and answered.
“They wanted to see where our line was. “They understand their position as hostages, but they haven’t given up yet.”
“Wasn’t he about the same age as Wei An? “What a strange thing…”
“What?”
Wei An protested, shrugging his shoulders at the strange looks of his other colleagues.
“I’m an adult too!! Why are you suddenly looking at a child…!”
“Lapis Falseer. “He seemed very interested in the items handled at the Magic Tower.”
Jenny said as if something suddenly occurred to her.
“Don’t you think we can expand the item business further if the heads of large powers in the center show interest?”
“Even in the morning, they stayed for a long time on the steps of the branch where partner companies were located. “I showed a strong interest in Professor Bylan’s research field.”
One by one, the mercenaries who had been monitoring Lapis came forward to add their opinions as if they agreed.
“I haven’t been able to contact Professor Bylan these days. Is there some problem?”
“It’s not something that happens overnight. “Since forming a partnership with Magic Tower, there have been no official activities other than the third paper.”
“Rather than that, let’s discuss the conditions requested by the Blue Eyes headquarters-”
Ugh…!!
The loud voices from across the hospital room are gradually moving away.
The sight before my eyes is filled with quiet darkness, and the only sound is the low, cooing noise of the guardian spirit beast sleeping.
However, Lapis’ eyes were sunken deeper than ever as she collapsed in the underground cavity.
“Evan Bylon….”
I knew that Professor Evan Bylon had established a formal research partnership with the Magic Tower of Lightning.
The fact that Evan even puts down his real identity for a moment to help Lapis and helps her.
But then, where on earth does the relationship between Evan Bylan and fastness begin and stop here?
I have been putting off confirming the result even though I am faced with a result that goes against mutual understanding between confidence that surpasses trust and intuition that surpasses reason.
In the end, there was a fact that could not be confirmed without Lapis herself facing the answer.
“Eveline. I have made up my mind. “I’d like to ask you to prepare.”
Lapis’ eyes flashed with intense confidence as she slowly stood up.
“I will escape from the Magic Tower and head to the Eight Roaring Fortress before the lightning comes back.”
* * *
“The situation is not good.”
Sebastian, a broker in charge of a part of the freelance business in the underworld of the Balkans, sat in his fancy office and was on the phone all day.
I don’t even have time to fill the wine glass I always have with me.
My phone got so hot that I had to hold it up with my weak telekinesis.
But Sebastian didn’t have enough time to worry about such trivial things.
“Evan Martinez. There is a high possibility that he is not an ordinary wizard. “We recommend that you avoid collisions as much as possible.”
-Sebastian. So, didn’t you say it was difficult?
An arrogant voice rang out from the other end of the phone.
-This is a wanted order issued directly by the Central Council. If you stand out here, it won’t be difficult to establish a direct line to Congress. Isn’t the opponent only a wizard?
“A single wizard is not something to be ignored.”
-Do you know how many magicians I met when I was young who only believed in my talents and made fun of me?
The man on the other end of the phone laughed.
-These are just big words and no substance. If their inner strength had reached even the tip of their toes, I wouldn’t be here.
“So, that wizard named Evan…”
Even if the other person was also someone who built a business with his bare hands, being a broker was not an easy task.
Sebastian looked like he was holding back, then sighed and said.
“I’m telling you that he may have a talent similar to fastness.”
Only then did the other person’s laughter stop on the other side of the phone.
-…what?
I had to quickly finish my explanation while this customer, who often indulged in self-bragging, was listening to me.
Sebastian quickly looked back at the monitor and opened his mouth.
“The news coming through the information network is unusual. “All the expectations I had about the inaction of a wizard named Evan are going wrong.”
-But….
“I fought single-handedly against a first-class mercenary from the Antares Mercenary Office and won by a landslide. Break through the siege of the Weta Temple, an authorized military institution. Escaped after a battle with the cartel’s lower-ranking bosses. “None of these are records worth taking lightly.”
-….
“As soon as we got to the outskirts of the city, things became very cruel. They say they are randomly massacring mercenaries and private units approaching in the area of Area 47, aiming to be wanted. “The news hasn’t spread right now, but soon word will spread throughout the city through other brokers.”
A coercive persuasion that he would never normally choose, as he mainly deals with VIP customers who are sensitive and have high self-esteem.
“I’m finally coming to a conclusion and I’m telling you this belatedly, but…”
Sebastian paused and finally spoke.
As a broker, I only came to a reasonable conclusion, but it was difficult to understand what was happening.
“It is assumed that the achievements and inaction that the man named Evan is showing now are comparable to those of Fastener a few years ago.”
Evan Martinez. A flame wizard belonging to the Blue Eyes.
The fact is that the skills of this man, of whom there are no rumors about his origin or background, may be comparable to his former fastness.
-Is that… possible? There could be another attribute-type wizard with such ridiculous talent?
This is proof that a man who accurately points out the world of attributes and asks questions is not an idiot who knows nothing.
As the man boasted just a moment ago, this was possible because he had met many wizards and gained experience.
However, talent that goes beyond experience and common sense tends to pop out without warning and sweep away the surroundings.
“That’s how I judge it. “Defeat hired mercenaries and private forces and move in a direction to avoid contact.”
-….
“It might be a good idea to consider abandoning the workplace and taking shelter. The president’s safety must be considered first-”
-Actually… I already released information to lure Evan Martinez.
“…yes?”
-I heard that he was looking for firewood to burn in this city.
The president’s trembling voice was heard through Sebastian’s frozen ears.
-Among the heirlooms that have been passed down in our family for generations, there is a tree branch left after being burned by evil fire. So I deliberately released that information to lure-
Sebastian jumped up from his seat and shouted.
“Where are you now!”
-In the monitor room of the management department at workplace 2…
I sit in front of the computer while listening to stuttering answers.
“We will be accessing the workplace surveillance system, so please grant access immediately.”
-Oh, I see.
Beep!!
Dozens of CCTV screens appear simultaneously on Sebastian’s monitor.
Mercenaries and soldiers were camped out in an old workshop complex with barbed wire and simple stairs.
These are people who came to target Evan’s arrest warrant or secretly talented people hired by the boss.
“We will guide the boss in real time on his escape route.”
Sebastian reconstructed CCTV footage and drew an internal map of the business.
“The route that exits the 40th district area as quickly as possible-”
Woe!!
At that moment, the camera screen showing the front door of the business began to blur and flicker.
A strange illusion as if the haze rising from beyond the gate was distorting the lens.
“come!!”
“Shoot it!!”
Doo doo doo doo!!!
Freelancers holding rifles as sidearms pull the trigger with the intention of emptying the entire magazine, as if they had been waiting.
Hundreds of bullet holes burst through the iron gate, sending out fierce sparks and collapsing.
Quirky….
Even though we poured out fire until the moment we ran out of bullets, there was no sign of anything beyond the door.
It was just that the amount of heat coming through the bullet hole became stronger.
Cheap profit…!
The heat flowing out beyond the door is growing stronger, so strong that even a small breeze can melt the iron door.
“…what?”
“I shouldn’t have just avoided it-”
A huge fiery fist pushed through the iron door and completely shattered the entrance to the business.
[Flame seal]
[Cheonbung]
Bwaaaaah!!!!
A heterogeneous landscape that looks as if a giant’s forearm was set on fire and created into a burning shape.
All of those caught up in the punch let out terrible screams and rolled around with their entire bodies on fire.
Cheap!!
“Kwaaaaaa!!”
“Ah, it hurts…!!”
“Haaah haaak!!”
Kugwagwagwa!!!
The fist made of flame splits into two sides and spreads out like a curtain of fire.
A young man with an expressionless face walked into the business from the other side of the curtain spread for one person.
A calm and frail figure holding a thick cigar in his mouth and lazily flapping his fire-resistant coat.
Hot steam rises above the pipe of the array device mounted on the left arm, constantly discharging body heat.
Cheek Cheek!!
“Confirmation of wanted target. “All we have to do is catch that blasphemous bastard and kick him, right?”
“I heard he was a pyromaniac, so I had some expectations, but he looked much better than I expected.”
“So, shouldn’t there be a big burn on your face?”
Freelancers who calmly joke and giggle even after seeing their colleagues die right in front of them.
“Achilles’ magic interception system is ready.”
“I even filed a report with the police. “They will soon come rushing in and surround this place.”
“It would be nice if a few special agencies came as well. “Go catch the wanted criminals you missed.”
A man with a whitish mask on his face asked, tapping the dagger in his hand.
“Hey, arsonist. “Are you listening?”
“….”
“Tell me something. How do you feel about setting fire to the city?”
“impression?”
At that moment, Lennok’s eyes, which seemed to be looking somewhere far away, returned to focus.
Lennok, who was looking around as if he was belatedly checking the mercenaries and freelancers who had blocked his path, tilted his head.
“Why do you stay here? “Do you all want to die?”
“what?”
“What nonsense is this bastard talking about…!!”
The moment when the mercenaries frowned in displeasure at Lennok’s unexpected question and raised their magic power.
The forearm of flame that smashed down the front door began to wriggle and slowly retreat.
Wow!!
A movement as if a hand was inserted deep into the basement of a business, grabbed something, and was slowly pulling it out.
Eventually, a pale radiant tree branch was held in the grasp of the flame that appeared.
Quad deuk…!!
A strange figure that burns engulfed in Lennok’s flames and still maintains its shape.
“It’s a cursed flame that burns with negative emotions as an ember…”
Hwa-yuk!!
At that moment, the flames of Lennok burning on the tree branches began to change color to deep purple.
Lennok, looking at the tree branch stuck under his feet and the purple flame burning around him, nodded.
“There is enough space to introduce it to a new star in the red star system.”
The red star system is an amplification system that explosively increases the power of the spell through a pre-constructed magic core, the so-called star.
However, in order to maintain the red star system so that the trajectories of the stars do not overlap, the new magic core to be built on the outskirts must use more powerful and heterogeneous forces as manpower.
In that respect, the cursed flame that Lennoc has obtained is enough to be used to build a new star.
Together!!!
Behind Lennok’s slowly turning back, four flame spheres wrapped around the barrier technique like a ring appeared, spinning in unison.
The brilliance of the flames filling the workplace brightly illuminates the darkened faces of the mercenaries.
“I’ll ask you again.”
Lennok smiled and raised a finger.
“Why are you still here?”
