The Medicine-Taking Genius Wizard
Episode 876: Eyes that See Destiny (12)
“But it doesn’t happen that often.”
“….”
“Lapis Falseer. Why did you come to the Balkans alone? “Did you think there wouldn’t be a single person in this city who would seek the life of the head of the Blue Eye?”
The man asked in a slightly ringing voice.
“I’ve just finished formal consultations with the Balkan City Council and-”
“That’s naive. “That is not a rational decision.”
The man stared through the lenses of his glasses at Lapis, who was speechless.
“No matter how urgent you are, you should not have accepted the city council’s conditions. “The organization you created has become so powerful that no one can ignore it, but its central point is extremely vulnerable.”
“….”
“Anyone who wants to intervene in the Blue Eyes will want to have your life in their hands. Are you planning to say that you came to the Balkans without knowing that?”
“no.”
Lapis shook her head quietly.
“Still, I have work to do. “That’s it.”
“Right. “Even though you knew it was a misjudgment, you couldn’t overcome your selfishness?”
The man nodded and took out a green test tube from inside his lab coat.
The saliva that fell from the tip of the man’s lips as he opened the lid and gulped down the contents instantly melted the asphalt and created a terrible poisonous fog.
A type of drug that turns all body fluids into extremely poisonous substances.
“Then, without hesitation, I will take your personal property and hand it over to the council.”
The man who approached Lapis was very tall.
Her eye level is higher than that of Patisia, who is embracing Lapis with a nervous look, so much so that I have to look up at her for a while.
“I think you misunderstood my answer.”
However, Lapis still responded with an expression that did not lose her composure.
“The reason I was able to visit the Balkans was not because I trusted the city council.”
“what?”
Whoop!!
At that moment, the flames surrounding Lapis and the man slowly distorted and moved to both sides.
Flames splitting as if making a path through melting asphalt.
The moment when the man felt an indescribable and eerie feeling from beyond and looked away.
A voice was heard from behind the man.
“You are not a mercenary.”
“…!!!”
Immediately after that, acrid cigarette smoke fills the tip of my nose.
An expressionless young man with a thick cigar in his mouth was suddenly standing behind the man.
A nervous figure looking at a few cards and several wallet terminals in his hands with a frown on his face.
“There is no ID or registration, all numbers stored in the terminal are restricted from calling, and there is no broker contacted. “If this is going to happen, why are you carrying a cell phone?”
After a cursory inspection, the man realized that most of the belongings he was throwing away were originally his, and immediately stretched out his hand.
“Give it to me…!!”
Boom boom!!!
The man’s hand, swung with poison fog, is blocked by dozens of explosions that erupted in front of the young man’s eyes and bounces back.
An extremely sophisticated operation that throws small fireworks in advance and explodes them at different times to block the man’s attacks one by one.
The moment the man turned his gaze in bewilderment as he looked at his half-burned and crushed right hand.
[Scorching sphere]
[Non-sublimation spring]
Quang!!
The fireball that fell from above his head instantly pressed the man’s body in place.
“Kahak…!!”
Lennok asked as he looked at the man who had fallen down with something black stuck between his neck and back.
“If you’re not a mercenary or a freelancer, you’re a member of an organization. Which one?”
“Pfft…!!”
The eyes of the man with his face buried in the melted asphalt then turned to the back of the fire road that Lennok had passed.
Corpses that looked exactly like themselves, horribly burned to death, were scattered mercilessly all over the road.
Only then did the man realize that this wizard had eliminated all the pursuers and mercenaries in the area, and he let out a helpless laugh.
“Hehehe… He killed all of his pursuers in that short period of time… That’s an unbelievable killing ability. “Where did a wizard like you come from?”
“You haven’t answered my question yet.”
“…It was like that. There is no way that lighthouse keeper came to the Balkans alone without anyone to trust…”
Suddenly!!
The head of the man who was monologuing with a bitter smile was cut off with a sharp flash of light.
The life of the man whose head was cut with a smiling face was cut off.
“….”
Lennok, who was looking at the head that had fallen at his feet with an expressionless face, turned his gaze towards the direction where the flash occurred.
“It is said that the flames of a high-ranking fire magician are the most excruciating and dizzying among the pain of burns.”
The swordsman holding the long sword was smiling as he looked in this direction.
“Wouldn’t it be better to let you go in peace rather than suffer needlessly?”
“Who is it?”
“Polaris.”
The swordsman, holding a sword in one hand and swinging both arms in a graceful greeting, answered.
“He is a common civil servant in this city.”
“….”
“The compensation was too generous for a task that involved capturing one person, so I was curious as to what kind of noble person they were going to serve, but there was a reason. Even if the Ascendant’s blood relatives are like that, there is another wizard who is so accustomed to murder…” The
swordsman’s eyes as he looked at Lennok narrowed for a moment.
“It’s annoying. “One monster like that is enough for this city.”
“….”
“One person…?”
While Lapis was tilting her head in confusion behind her, Lennok quietly motioned towards Lapis and changed the subject.
“What exactly was the reward? “Mercenaries and underground organizations are said to be driven by money, but that may not be the type of incentive that can be given to city officials.”
“Even if I tell you, outsiders won’t be able to understand. “In the first place, it is not compensation based on gain or loss.”
Doo doo doo doo!!
At that moment, the dazzling lights of the helicopter illuminated Lennok in the darkened sky.
Military helicopters flew over the burning streets, surrounding the sky, and heavy tanks pushed through the collapsed concrete, crushing abandoned vehicles.
Hundreds of soldiers lined up in formations throughout buildings and streets, and executive-level physically capable men commanding them.
Even a small elite unit of a special agency stands by at the rear and prepares for any unexpected situation.
Special agency Polaris.
The reason the prosecutor went out of his way to answer Lennok’s question was probably to completely close his escape.
“From now on, you will have to come with us.”
Slam!!
At the same time as those words were said, the prepared tanks and helicopters aimed their guns at Lennok and Lapis.
“The construction of a siege network has been completed, centering around District 21 and covering three nearby districts. “There is nowhere for you to run.”
The swordsman nodded, looking at Lapis looking around nervously.
“After the investigation is over, you will be able to meet with the Central Council as you wish. “I won’t interfere from then on, so please accompany me for now.”
“….”
Instead of answering those words, Lennok took a deep breath as he looked at the sight of the army tightly surrounding the downtown area.
Could it be that he couldn’t have run away when he was discovered?
When the wanted order was issued, the city council’s response was too quick, and the Balkan mercenaries, as always, had a knack for killing and disrupting people.
When their location was discovered, they couldn’t escape far, and now that they were surrounded, there was nowhere to run.
It is possible to try to break through by force, but by now, traffic restrictions would have been placed throughout District 21 and inspections would have begun.
Even if you escape to another nearby area, you will be caught up quickly.
The problem was that it was difficult to judge Lennok’s current condition as being completely normal.
As a result of escaping from Area 19 by absorbing the magic power of the open sea, detailed manipulation of magic power has become difficult.
If you lose concentration just a little bit, your blood vessels will tear and blood and bruises will seep out onto your skin.
If you want to kill, you can kill. If you try to win, you can win. Dealing with special agencies and the military was still not difficult.
However, will they be able to fight while safely protecting Lapis against the superhuman forces that have occupied the entire nearby area?
I wasn’t sure if Lennok would have figured it out alone.
“…Evan.”
Lapis also seemed to realize this and smiled nervously.
“Please leave me behind.”
“….”
“If the Central Council is properly aware of the situation, they will try to focus on securing my safety rather than Evan’s.”
“….”
“I’m going to waste time by confronting the city council directly, so I’ll contact the watchers and figure out how to-”
No, that’s impossible.
Even if Lennok escapes alone and leads the observers to Balkan, it is unlikely that Lapis will be alive and well.
At least the old bastards of the Central Council that Lennok knew were not great people who would never treat a lighthouse keeper in that way.
Even if we arrive on time, by all means, what will it mean to the war taking place between the megacity and the Blue Eye?
Lapis doesn’t know that either.
All she wants to do is make sure that her wrong judgment does not hurt Lennok even in this urgent moment when she feels the end is coming.
Knowing that, Lennok was able to choose without hesitation.
“no. “It’s my fault.”
The most extreme measure that I hesitated until the very end while explaining my future plans to Lapis.
A choice that will turn this whole chaotic situation upside down at once, but on the other hand, it will also ruin everything.
“sorry.”
“…Evan?”
The moment when Lennok smiled bitterly and tilted his head back, and Lapis turned her gaze with a puzzled expression.
Broke…!!!
A tingling thunderbolt flashed across the dark cloud-covered sky.
A blue flash engulfs the sky from end to end and suddenly falls upon the drenched ground.
Kwaaaaaaaaaa!!!
An enormous lightning strike measuring tens of meters in diameter fell in the middle of Area 21.
All the tanks and batteries surrounding the group from all directions were blown away by the tremendous impact, as if there was no thought to control the power.
“Aaaaaaa!!”
“Pull back the entire army!!”
“I appeared…!!”
“The wizard is here!!”
Broken broken…!!
In the middle of a rainy intersection, a young man wearing a coat stood with his head down.
He is holding a silver staff in one hand, leaning at an angle and lifting his gaze helplessly.
The bright blue eyes flashing through the hair stretched out in long tails, pressing down on the air around them.
Gooooo…!!
Everyone forgets the current situation and stops breathing at the manifestation of that overwhelming murderous intent that cannot be described in words.
“That person…”
The moment Lapis opened her eyes in a daze and looked at the face of the young man who slowly turned around.
Whoop!!
The black-haired young man had already come right in front of Lennok.
“….”
The expressionless young man with his eyes flashing silently and Lennok shaking his shoulders as if in pain.
The moment when the two wizards, surrounded by countless military units and fire nets, faced each other and Lennok was about to move his lips.
A violent bolt of electricity exploded from the young man’s fingertips and exploded into Lennok’s body.
[Crash]
Kwaaaaang!!!
The thunderbolt that shot up in a straight line instantly threw Lennok’s body to the end of the intersection and threw him away.
Before Lapis could react to this unexpected situation, the young man raised his hand.
“Blood relatives of the Ascendant. “Is this the lighthouse keeper’s mission?”
“Lapis!”
Quick…!!
Patisia felt a strong sense of discomfort and threw herself forward, but it was already too late.
The moment a sharp electric shock grazed the back of Lapis’ neck and disappeared, Lapis’ body instantly lost consciousness and fell on the spot.
“It might be useful.”
Full!!
The young man, who picked up Lapis’ fallen body with one hand, slowly looked around and smiled.
“I’ll take this.”
“The bran is fast….”
“I didn’t commit it.”
“You’re out of your mind, how can you…!”
Dozens and hundreds of superhumans cower, unable to take their eyes off just one wizard.
The atrocity of barging in at a critical moment, disrupting the situation and taking away the most important target.
But no one could complain or even refute the madman’s actions, so they held their breath and averted their gaze.
A blood-crazed archmage who has suddenly started active in the Balkans recently.
This is because everyone standing here did not know that his reputation was still full of vicious and terrible actions.
It’s impossible with the power gathered here. You won’t even be allowed to raise your voice once.
Therefore, no one realized that Lennok, who had just been thrown by a thunderbolt, was lying unconscious with his eyes open.
‘…okay.’
From now on.
The only way to fulfill Lapis’ ascension ritual, resist being pursued throughout the city, and reach a conclusion against the Vice Mayor and City Council.
And just one choice that will turn the whole situation upside down so strangely that it is difficult to handle.
It involved handing over Lapis’s personal affairs to the archmage who was considered the craziest in this city.
