The Medicine-Taking Genius Wizard Episode 898:
Eyes that See Destiny (34)
Kugwagwagwa!!!
Under the dazzling flame flower, a huge black snake leapt out and coiled around the area.
The length of the massive body covered in black, indecipherable mud was tens of meters long.
It creaks and vomits as if a living high-rise building is writhing and moving.
[KAHAAAAAH!!!]
Like a broken machine, stiffness and convulsions repeat at every moment of movement.
As if a dead body was convulsing, there was no sign of any vitality in its movements.
Gigigigigigeek!!!
The sight of a pitch-black snake rushing toward the petals of Cheonhwamanli Incense with an ear-piercing hissing sound.
As if moving according to the instinct presented in front of you, you simply seek out the strongest energy on the spot.
However, in the meantime, the flames and lightning burning in the air are constantly crossing towards each other, colliding, and exploding.
The aftermath of the ceaseless battle was pounding and pushing the snake’s body across the city.
As the petals fell one by one, the area of blooming Cheonhwamanli Incense began to spread throughout the undeveloped city area.
And there was a group of people watching the flame flowers blooming in the distance.
“They are terrible bastards. “Are you still concentrating on martial arts combat during this time?”
“There’s no way he wouldn’t have noticed the existence of the thought form, but he had no intention of stopping from the beginning.”
[The city government will be turned upside down. Didn’t they help prepare the stage?]
A blind man with his eyes gouged out and a monster with a metal sphere in place of his head.
A silver-haired woman with an ice-cold expression.
A huge baby hanging from a broken umbilical cord and a behemoth whose entire body is made of jewels.
An antique roof tile roof built on top of a skyscraper hundreds of meters high.
Some people stand and others sit on a veranda that does not match the surrounding scenery and talk.
The blind man who had his eyes gouged out spoke while rubbing his eyes.
“It’s been quite a while since I’ve seen such a monster. “You’re the spirit beast of the Great Forest, right?”
[The size is a little different than I remember, but there is no other snake that size.]
Olynik, the magnet-headed monster, answered.
[I can clearly see the reverberations of that gloomy main ship. It is the thought of a snake guarding a well.]
“How could that faithful guardian of the jungle end up like this…”
An old voice leaked out like a lament from the mouth of a baby with an umbilical cord.
The giant whose entire body was made of jewels crossed his arms and shrugged his shoulders.
= It is not a thought that arises when the main body dies. It seems like a fragment of my lost consciousness came into reality by chance.
[That itself proves the decline of the great ascendant.]
Olynik said in a somewhat joyful voice.
[If she were three years old, she would never have allowed such a thought form to disturb the world.]
“….”
[Time is so meaningless. Daejeon from decades ago now feels like a dream. In the end, even if you are an ascendant, you are a mere beast-]
“Padme Chiesa was a transcendental who guarded the [gate] of the Great Forest for a long time.”
At that moment, the silver-haired woman stared at Olynyk with ice-cold gaze.
A cold feeling without even the slightest emotional change.
Her hair cut short near the nape of her neck seems to hint at her resolute and ruthless personality.
“Be polite, Olynik. “Because a being who has fulfilled his mission deserves to be treated appropriately.”
[Kiri. If you want to devote yourself to the mission like that, you could help with the burden of the handbook.]
Olynyk ignored the cold remark and sarcastically said.
[Ah, of course, you will have to put aside the discipline and pride that you cherish like your life. What use is honor when dedicating oneself to the world?]
“Are you still planning to continue a discussion that ended decades ago? “It’s so boring…”
The baby with the voice of an old man laughed at the two people.
=The Thought Form of the Handbook Even so, how do you plan on doing the battle between Thousand Times and Lightning?
The Gem Giant asked, lightly squeezing his drink and grinding it into powder.
=Considering the scheduled meeting, it would be better to settle the matter here. If this fight ends ambiguously, there will be a disruption in our plans.
It is an unchangeable fact that an unplanned variable intervened in the clash between the two wizards that had been eagerly awaited throughout the Balkans.
The problem is when the two wizards try to stop or avoid the fight due to the presence of that thought form.
It was not strange for them, who were planning to reflect the results of this fight in the talks, to consider intervention.
But the blind man seemed to think differently.
“well. “I think there will be a definite conclusion due to this variable, don’t you think?”
=What?
The blind man said while rubbing the area around his eyes as if it were itchy.
“I felt like I was watching it just now, but the fastness was more passive than I thought. “It seems highly likely that it is due to a well-known rumor.”
[You mean the injury you got in return for killing Onion? There was a saying that it was a type of curse.]
The baby trembled at Olynyk’s question.
“That old man’s martial arts skills were really terrible… If Onion cursed him while he was dying, it’s no wonder he’s still suffering.”
“The old man has already fallen behind, but what I want to say is that Lightning wasn’t giving his all.”
=The response of such fastness will change due to the existence of the thought form?
“I would have tried to stick to the method that had the highest chance of winning in a battle with a thousand times, but I wouldn’t be able to do that even after the situation changed.”
The blind man laughed.
“If it had been something that had to be stopped due to unexpected variables, we wouldn’t have tried to come to a conclusion in this way in the first place. “I’m actually looking forward to seeing which method Solidarity will choose.”
[What if the spirit leaves the battlefield and spreads the damage?]
“Hmm, I didn’t know you were worried like that.”
At that moment the blind man looked back at Olynyk as if he were truly surprised.
“Do you still have any part of your frontal lobe left to worry about human life?”
[….]
As Olynik crossed his arms with an expression of displeasure, the rotation speed of the metal sphere that replaced his head slightly increased.
The blind man chuckled at the sight and turned his head again.
“don’t worry. Even if we didn’t do that, didn’t the protagonists of that battlefield take care of moving the stage to the outskirts of the city?”
“….”
“The acceptance of the prohibition law was for the benefit of the people living under the management of the city government.”
The blind man laughed as he watched Cheonhwamanlihyang gradually distorting from afar.
“The lives of trash that are out of control are no longer in my sights.”
Kugugugugu…!!!
At that moment, a huge snake’s thought body began to burn above the flame flower that was just before flowering.
The fire power of the Heavenly Manli Incense soars and spreads out over the thought forms that surround the realm.
[Kyaaaa!!]
The thought form in the handbook also screamed violently, constricted its body, and began pounding all over the city.
A brutal tragedy, with thick, black whips hitting indiscriminately hundreds of meters above the ground.
At the same time, the dark clouds cleared over the flame flowers, which were about to bloom, and the sky began to open.
“It has begun. “Everyone, please take a good look and speak for me.”
Broken broken…!!
The blind man muttered as he raised his gaze toward the empty sky where the soundless thunder roared.
“If Faster has decided to make a move at this point, he will never leave his hand ambiguously.”
* * *
“A transcendent person who is qualified to take on the challenge of ascension realizes how to split his or her consciousness infinitely.”
A vast space and time where a distant sea of darkness spreads out.
A borderline that becomes distorted as it touches the world and the sea.
The empty starlight shining beyond the open sea and the traces of civilization left beneath the earth are clearly visible here.
“You get the opportunity to infinitely divide, classify, and define the time and memories you have lived.”
The boundary between matter and consciousness. A secret world where all kinds of concepts are mixed and confused and exist without even a specific definition.
The line of cause and effect that allows this world to exist as a world.
I step onto the whitish horizon.
“In the past, I thought it was a miracle given to a seeker who devoted his entire life to contemplation, but…”
Cheongyeon muttered as he walked out as if riding on a cloud and glanced back.
“I’m not sure right now.”
“….”
Lapis couldn’t answer those words.
Cheongyeon walked away as if he wasn’t expecting an answer.
As she quietly lowered her gaze to the ground, the complex cityscape was reflected in her eyes.
The image of a huge black snake running wild above the city and a burning flame flower coiled between it.
Beyond, the sky is slowly opening, filled with lightning.
Cheongyeon said.
“Padme used that ability to throw away her younger self. Because she was born as a spirit beast and became an ascendant, the memories of a time when her instincts were strong were a hindrance to protecting her mission.”
“….”
“That choice is eating away at her remaining time. “That’s why the thought form of the handbook, which had once become a [door] to the open sea, popped out into reality again.”
Cheongyeon, who was looking at the snake’s thought form with a complicated expression, said.
“I hoped to endure as an ascendant by throwing away old memories, but it was those memories that allowed her to exist as an ascendant.”
“Memory…”
“Do you understand what I’m trying to say?”
As Cheongyeon said that, he completely turned his body towards Lapis.
“Nothing lasts forever, Lapis.”
“….”
“A great destiny, a noble mission, even long-standing promises and memories… they are all like foam in this sea.”
Cheongyeon spoke with the dark sea above his head and the pure white world below his feet.
A scene of the border dividing heaven and earth in black and white.
Cheongyeon, standing in front of Lapis, spoke.
“To get one, you have to give up one. “Every time you throw it away, it moves away from perfection and completion, and becomes structurally damaged.”
“….”
“Same thing, Lapis. In order to obtain the fate denied to life, one must endure loss in some way. “The price you pay for breaking this law and trying to avoid it is-”
Cheongyeon winked at the snake running wild on the ground.
“It’s down there.”
“….”
Are you saying that the fact that the handbook’s thought form has appeared in that place is a mistake caused by the handbook itself?
At that moment, Lapis understood that this was Cheongyeon’s teaching to her.
At the same time, the Cheon-gyeon that exists here is not the person she remembers.
“Your grandmother… is not the grandmother I know.”
“Grandmother?!”
For a moment, Prejudice shuddered with a shocked expression.
His face suddenly became agitated, unlike the serious mood he had been in until now.
“Oh yeah… I knew that, but it’s a bit different. “I never thought I would hear this from a child like you.”
“Oh… you mean?”
“Isn’t that what you really wanted to hear? “Oh, that’s not it.”
As Cheon Gyeon questioned him like that, he immediately saw the truth.
Her eyes sank deeply as she looked at Lapis.
“You’re sad that I don’t know you.”
“….”
“It’s something that can’t be helped. “I am the Madrea Palsier of the time period in which you were not born.”
Cheongyeon spoke softly.
“Even if you are my granddaughter, I don’t really realize it. “I am no longer a being left behind in the continuity of time.”
“I know that my grandmother split her consciousness beyond the boundaries of the world to take on the role of a lighthouse.”
Lapis answered quietly.
“Before leaving, you taught me a lot about what I needed to do to protect my mission. But what I really wanted to hear from my grandmother was….”
“….”
“It was a slightly more ordinary greeting…”
Lapis closed her eyes, unable to continue speaking.
Those who leave do not return.
Madrea Falseer, the heavenly dog who failed to ascend and died, no longer exists anywhere in this world.
Even though I understand that simple and clear fact, part of my heart still cannot accept it.
Even though I knew it in my head, I wonder if I was performing this ritual while dreaming of a miracle of reunion.
Was he trying to confide in someone who had already left his feelings that he had been worrying about alone without receiving an answer from anyone?
Cheon-gyeon looked pitifully at Lapis, who was desperately trying to control her emotions.
“Pity me. “You are already shouldering all the missions I missed.”
“….”
“I knew that you were this kind of person, so when I was alive, I passed on my mission without any regrets and left.”
Cheongyeon slowly retreated with his back to me and said.
“Are you tired? light housekeeper.”
“…yes.”
Lapis answered in a quiet voice.
“It’s so… so hard.”
“….”
“The more I move for the mission, the less I can convince myself. Is there any meaning to this delayed ending, or is it just a matter of buying time? “How much sacrifice is necessary for just a brief reprieve?…”
He spits out the accumulated words as if he were lamenting.
The emotions welling up in my throat came pouring out with just a slight tilt.
“Is there such a miracle waiting for us at the end of this world?…” “
….”
“Definitely probably not.”
Lapis’ voice trembled slightly as she answered on her own.
Lapis smiled weakly in front of the silent Cheon-gyeon.
“Regardless of the time we devoted and our fate, cause and effect will disappear and the ending will come. “The traces we leave behind in this world will have no meaning to foreign media.”
“….”
“Even though I know it’s futile, I’m trying and convincing myself. Because everyone has been like this so far. Because everyone has endured it like no other. So, I mean, me too…”
She is a cog in the huge machine called the world.
We observe the open sea and postpone destruction so that this world can survive for just a little longer.
So that the causality of this world does not disappear yet. So that foreign media would not notice this feeble struggle.
Kill the emotions and press down on the functions.
Instead of thinking about the future being worn out and broken, focus on the reality that is rolling along.
However, since it was Lapis’s duty to observe the ending without even an answer, she said-
“I know. I was like that too. “Because looking at the future and postponing it is our reality.”
Cheongyeon said quietly.
“Our destiny cannot stay in one time, and our time cannot stay in one fate. “You have to see the ending closer than anyone else and watch from afar more than anyone else.”
“….”
“Even though I’m standing on stage, I’m always a spectator. “You cannot hold on to the passage of time and the relationship, and the only way to give up your mission is to die.”
All those softly muttered words pierced Lapis’s lungs so sharply.
This may be because Cheon-gyeon in his younger days suffered and worried just like Lapis, and wandered around looking for someone who would understand.
The pain that echoes throughout a person’s life reaches the next successor beyond the time it has disappeared.
I couldn’t even answer and was hurt again by the words I spat out emotionally.
Cheongyeon, who was looking at Lapis with her head down and her shoulders shaking, slowly started to walk past her.
The border of the world. Cheongyeon turned around at the end of the pole where the open sea and the terrestrial landscape overlap and disappear.
She spoke softly in front of a pole that seemed ready to disappear at any moment.
“So, if you want, I can do it for you.”
“…!!”
At that moment, Lapis’ trembling stopped as if it were a lie.
“On the border of this world, no one would notice even if we changed our roles.”
Cheongyeon smiled as if he knew how Lapis felt.
“Isn’t that what you wanted and came to me?”
