Medicine-Taking Genius Wizard Episode 831,
Knot (18)
“…The enemy is going to come out to deal with King Myeong?”
Damus’ assertion that Deadrise’s enemy, who has never appeared in public in person, may make a move.
The others seemed to have also felt something from those words, and the ritual space fell into a quiet silence.
“….”
Are you thinking about how huge the repercussions will be if the Marshal, who is considered the leader of the army, steps forward in person?
However, rather than immediately responding to Damus’ words, Lennok focused on observing the reactions of others.
“I don’t know if he’s bluffing or if he has some faith in him…”
Chevien smiled darkly.
“To be able to face that warlock head-on, it would not be enough to have reached the same level of hierarchy…” “
I understand that the enemy of Deadrise is someone who built the largest warlord on the continent without even having a military background.”
Vernon muttered with a vaguely drunk expression on his face.
“It would be natural for him to be excellent as a commander, but he was a superhuman powerful enough to rival the King of Myo?”
“It seems that the enemy’s inaction is much stronger than we thought. But I’ve hardly ever heard of his record or major…”
The members of Bokmajeon didn’t seem to know exactly who their enemy was, but the question itself cut straight to the core.
What level of inaction has the leader and enemy of Deadrise, Ethan Bajur, reached?
This is because Lennok was also thinking about it right away when he understood Damus’ words.
This is only my second time meeting Damus, but at first glance he is a soldier with cool-headed and realistic values.
In particular, as a commander leading a corps, his insight into assessing victory or defeat on the battlefield must be at a considerable level.
If Damus didn’t assume Ethan’s defeat against Ming, it wouldn’t be such a groundless belief.
It wasn’t like Lennok couldn’t guess at all.
‘The art of resurrection and the magical power of reverse heaven. Was something achieved using those two means?…’
Ethan’s journey encountered through the travelogue in Yorta. The fate of the resurrected, who could only gain new life after dying once.
What if the talent of Reverse Heaven, inherited from Kaise, grew stronger after his death and eventually became powerful enough to reverse even his own death?
In the process, if he had even lifted the curse of his nature that bound him and lifted all of its restrictions.
Because of his talent for even reversing and correcting his own fate, he may have turned into something completely different from the existing superhuman.
“You have no idea what you guys have been doing lately. “If you knew, there’s no way you could say something like that so easily.”
However, Maiya did not hesitate to laugh at Damus.
“It is a monster that gave up on humans from the moment it built its hierarchy. It is qualitatively different from mortals like you and me who are pulled by the big current….”
“….”
“Well, okay. There is no reason to make a fuss about something that didn’t happen. Just don’t think about using unnecessary tricks to increase your game.”
The cold executioner’s gaze seemed to coldly penetrate Damus’s eyebrows.
“If you interfere with what I am doing, I will kill you first.”
Just as Damus uses pandemonium, Maiya Rensleyt is also an outcast who puts her own goals above all else.
Is that why he empirically understands and is wary that what he does is likely to conflict with his own goals?
[Master, that’s good.]
Dabi, who was listening to the conversation in Lennok’s arms, wriggled and whispered.
[Instead, I will release the information in advance on the deep web and test which side will win.]
“….”
What on earth is that good? No, I think I know, but I don’t really want to think about it.
Dabi muttered in a sinister tone inside his robe as Lennok remained silent.
[Hehehe, it’s not impossible to temporarily paralyze the central network by gathering plausible video data and attracting aggro.] While
grabbing the snout of the lightning spirit, I don’t know if it wants to get information or cause trouble on the deep web.
Freya, who was unable to join in on the conversation and was tilting her head, looked around and asked.
“Marshal… are you talking about a military title or something?”
“If you mean someone who commands all legions under Deadrise, then it’s probably wrong.”
The doctor asked in a relaxed tone.
“But Damus, do you think it’s okay to say something like that in a place like this?”
“….”
“As far as I know, the generals of that warlord… are not very healthy.”
A faint mockery that cannot be hidden mixed in the doctor’s voice.
As expected, the doctor must know that the leader of Deadrise, including Gilleon, is Ethan Bajur.
They may even be guessing that their current situation is not so good that they cannot go to the front lines.
Damus frowned for a moment, perhaps realizing that he was openly poking the Legion’s private parts, but immediately regained his composure.
“…That’s right. “It wasn’t something I could hide from someone like you.”
“Hmm.”
“However, as a result of recent attempts to suppress the activities of the generals and crack down on the internal affairs, significant results have been achieved.”
Damus’ eyes brightened brightly for a moment.
“Like what happened in Yorta, many pieces are coming together in various places. “It won’t be long.”
A copy of the travel record handed over to Songha in Yorta.
Are there various arrangements being actively made within the Corps to revive Ethan’s memories, including that of him?
Although he didn’t explain anything properly, Lennok seemed to understand what Damus was trying to say.
He was hinting that the corps might soon begin to move in earnest.
“The reason I am revealing and explaining this secret is to let you know that the matter of fasting is not a one-time situation.”
“So, what does that have to do with us?”
“He doesn’t belong to anything and continues to exert influence on the metropolis. Among monsters that have reached level 8, it has a uniquely dangerous and aggressive nature, and its capabilities are strong enough to match its twisted nature.”
Damus said, turning behind his chair.
“The central government is already treating the wizard as the most powerful challenger of the next generation and is being cautious.”
“….”
“When I first brought this up at this meeting, it was treated as nonsense. But what about the current fastness? “What about next time?”
Damus asked in an indifferent voice among the silent members.
“Can you be sure that when we meet again, that blood-crazed wizard won’t be more dangerous than the Emperor?”
“….”
“All we need is people. The rest can be replenished at any time, anywhere. “The same goes for other members.”
Damus slowly turned the ring on his finger while exchanging glances with Chevien and Vernon Raphael.
“If it’s a reasonable request, we can meet the conditions here. “I hope you think seriously and contact me.”
As the ring spun, Damus’ new form slowly became blurred.
“I will be waiting.”
“what?”
After Freyja’s harsh response, Damus disappeared.
Whoop!!
The others also looked back at the empty seat where Damus had disappeared for a moment, then stood up one by one.
“The time to maintain ritual space is over. I’ll just go now too…”
Chevien moves the gloomy mannequin and looks back.
He seemed to smile subtly at Lennok, then tilted the mannequin’s head in a strange direction.
“Today, I will take it as a harvest that the ritual space was not ruined by one arrogant magician…”
“Puppet master.”
Lennok said with a grin.
“A story about the Magic Tower. “You were the first to bring it up and see the reaction.”
“….”
“I’m pretending not to, but weren’t you trying to see if Damus was thinking the same thing?”
Lennok cast a cold gaze at the mannequin that did not respond.
“Damus took advantage of you even though he knew your intentions, but it won’t be like that next time… You’ll have to be careful with your mouth from now on.”
“Hehe, he’s still so sharp that it makes me feel bad…”
Chevien continued to let out a dark laugh, but then stopped and said.
“Keep that in mind.”
“I’m leaving~ Oh, and if you see that clown, please contact me at Talkerfuzz!! “I need a genjutsu to leave during the tour, but I’m not reading the message!”
The sight of Freyja kicking Chevien and disappearing noisily.
Vernon is trying to persuade him to go out for a drink, and Professor Raphael is watching because he wants to talk to the doctor about common magic.
The moment Lennok raised his spirits, leaving behind the new members who didn’t say anything until the meeting was over and Maiya who didn’t even pay attention.
“Ah, Victor.”
Huh!!
From the other side of the immersive simulated consciousness space, the doctor spoke to Lennok.
Immediately after that, the ritual space began to be isolated and reorganized, centered around Lennok and the doctor.
Patter!!
A strange situation in which the two of us are left alone on the other side of the silent darkness.
Lennok tilted his head back from among the remains of consciousness that even Hilea had left.
“…What’s going on?”
“There’s one thing I want to check before I finish.”
Tdu-duk, tdu-duk!!
The pure white fur ball that represents the doctor’s will collapses on the spot.
Death in which the flesh is torn off, the skin decomposes, and even the bones are crushed.
In order to convey his intelligence to distant places, he always uses techniques that imitate human sacrifice.
Although I didn’t see him every time I saw him, it was only occasionally.
Watching the offering die like this was not a pleasant experience.
While Lennok was thinking this, he crossed his arms and waited for the doctor’s answer.
the doctor asked.
“I told Damus earlier if Myung was still conscious… that’s what I told him.”
“….”
“Can I assume that you also know what state Myung is in right now?”
As expected, the doctor didn’t miss even those passing words.
I thought someone among the members would understand, but the doctor was the fastest.
The doctor spoke again without waiting for Lennok’s answer.
“I don’t have much time. “I know. I will pass it on and talk about it.”
“Listen.”
“Myung is now standing still before a very huge challenge. “You know why.”
“….”
“Through temporary flight, he obtained a destiny beyond what was given to him and reached the door of transcendence unrealistically quickly.”
The doctor explained.
“The problem is that the name’s capabilities were so outstanding that preparations were made even before the temporary flight was completed.”
“I think I need to get an explanation of what exactly a temporary flight is.”
Lennok answered.
“I don’t know anything other than the fact that Ming was focused on destroying civilization while traveling around the continent. What exactly does that mean?”
The doctor laughed.
“No, I won’t explain. There’s no need for that.”
“What is that-”
“You already know what a false flight is. I just don’t want to show it. Or maybe I wasn’t aware of it.”
“….”
“Myeong has very strict and ruthless standards, but he is very generous to those who exceed those standards.”
said the doctor.
“That’s why you must have watched at least once what Ming was pursuing… And you probably understand why things turned out that way.”
A conviction that is so coldly assertive that it is frightening.
Intuition that finds answers in vague impressions and judgments without any basis.
But the most surprising fact was that such vague judgments and answers were very close to the truth.
The reason why Lennox feels that Dr. Lennox is more dangerous than anything else is because he is an outstanding researcher but has a nature that is not tied to numbers and data.
This may be because he understands the importance of abstract values and ideas more clearly than anyone else.
“What do you want to say?”
“It’s simple.”
The doctor nodded slowly.
“After all preparations have been made and decisions have been made… they may try to complete the unfinished temporary flight.”
“….”
“Because it’s a journey that once you start, you have to end it. Even if it is not Ming’s own will.”
“That’s…”
“What will happen if the Ming becomes stronger than it is now and ‘harvests’ the continent even more damaged than it is now?”
The doctor’s assumption seems to be suffocating.
The doctor laughed softly at Lennok, who was unable to answer quickly.
“There will be a bloodshed there that cannot be compared to the time of Gyebaek.”
“….”
“This is all I have to say. “I thought it was necessary to warn you at least once.”
Tdu puk….
The doctor’s voice changed strangely through the slowly scattered and dying hairballs.
“I’m actually a little excited. If the name is ruined like that, what will the leader do?…” “
….”
“It looks like he has already given up everything, but the leader is clearly holding on to the last piece.”
A conscious space that distorts and sinks before your eyes.
At the same time, Lennok’s spirit also rapidly soars and tries to escape from the situation.
Only the doctor’s voice rang out as a faint echo.
“What should we call it? Would it be closest to call it humanity?”
* * *
Faaah!!
A view of the chapel with dazzling sunlight streaming in.
Morning has just arrived after early dawn, and it is time for people to wake up.
As the number of people increased significantly outside the cathedral, it was felt that the street was becoming more lively.
On the contrary, Lennok’s body, leaning on the chair, was as limp as water-soaked cotton, and he was barely breathing.
As soon as you return from the conscious space, your body, completely consumed by Yorta, suppresses your spirit.
“Are you awake?”
Hilea, who was leaning slightly over the chapel organ, glanced back at Lennok and said.
“It certainly doesn’t seem to be in very good condition. “It’s the first time I’ve seen him wake up this late.”
“….”
I was late talking to the doctor, but I didn’t want to explain.
While Lennok was silent, Hilea lightly raised her magic power and struck the organ.
With the light sound of an organ, her magical power vibrated and spread out like a scrim before her eyes.
“I was just sorting out news from Yorta before he woke up. Would you like to check?”
“What do you mean?”
“Most of them are about you. The video was leaked on the deep web and it’s causing quite a stir.”
Hilea said so and used the organ’s vibration to push the magic-embedded screen in front of Lennok.
