Chapter 789

Genius Wizard Who Eats Medicine Chapter 789

Prophet of Yoreta (3)

Quagmire!!

An incessant roar of explosions echoed through the frozen dungeon.

Prisoners running out of prison and those throwing themselves without hesitation over a huge crack where the cold wind blows.

“The Prophet really made the way!!”

“I, I will go first!”

The appearance of the prisoners raising their mana while shouting loudly.

As the prisoners, unable to control their excitement, swung their limbs, the bars and walls of the prison staggered and cracked in the aftermath.

Koo Goo Goo!!

Prisoners quickly spread to all directions on the 5th floor underground, invading other prisons where news has not reached.

Not only the nearby prisons, but also the release of prisoners from other districts far away, the number has increased rapidly.

“Are you that prophet?”

“You have an unlucky face, bro. I will never forget this favor!!”

Images of prisoners giggling around and running past Lennok and over the rift.

Hearing of Lennok’s existence, he seems to be interested, but he seems to be in a hurry to escape this place.

“This time, don’t get caught and kill people...” ... !!”

“Because it’s so cold here, the ground will light a fire to keep you warm!!”

“Hee hee hee!!”

Lennok looked at the prisoners too, and followed them down the crack into which the wind blew.

The moment I fell through the wind that brushed my ears and fell over the curved crack passage.

Faaaa!!

A garden shining with blue light spread out in front of my eyes.

The overwhelming emptiness felt like an empty area of ​​magical energy, as the magical power itself was not so faint around it.

But the wind that blows over the garden is getting stronger, and it’s hard to keep my eyes open and stare straight ahead.

“Ji, I really escaped!!”

“There will never be anything like being trapped anywhere!!”

Prisoners hurriedly run through the garden before Lennok and disappear.

At the point of leaving the prison, there is no one to follow the control anymore.

“Sir, Prophet... ... .”

Lenok, who was watching the prisoners at the end of the garden, looked back at the giant who came out through the rift belatedly.

“Have you come to your senses now?”

“Crazy child... ... Did you come up with a plan like this just now?!”

The giant shouted at Lennok with a frightened expression.

“No one gets out of here this way. You are thinking wrongly!!”

With a look of fear at first sight, the giant pointed at the flying ghosts from afar.

“You don’t know how terrifying the commanders of Yorta are. I’ll sense this kind of commotion right away and run out!!”

“.......”

“Damn it, everything is wrong... ... !! I wrote my hand so that I could pass through the rift very secretly, but because of you alone... ... !!”

“Why do you think so?”

Lennok asked.

“Because the author of the Ghost Experiences told me to watch my back?”

“......!!”

The giant shrank his head as if he had been stabbed to the point.

“You, you... ... how to... ... .”

“It is impossible to plan a specific escape route and form a team unless you have a very strong conviction.”

Lennok explained lightly.

“The memoirs were written in a location that would be easily recognizable if you had investigated the inside of the prison. It wouldn’t be strange if any of the prisoners knew about it.”

“... ... You mean you figured out all of that just one day after you entered this prison?”

At the point of discovering the text in the Ghost Sights, Lennok didn’t think he was the only one who saw it.

Perhaps among the prisoners who dreamed of escaping here, those with the ability to see outside the cell might have discovered this phrase.

In particular, the giant standing in front of Lennok is a body shapeshifter who can transform his body and pass through narrow gaps.

If you had this ability, it wouldn’t be strange if you sneaked around the hallways to avoid the surveillance of the hundred demons and discovered the writings of your experiences.

“I can’t understand even more that you come out like that even after reading the advice of the experience book. This underground floor is a demon cave where monsters abandoned in Yorta live.”

The giant hardened his face.

“To think that even if you gather only the necessary people and work with a small number of elites, you can’t guarantee success, and you can grow your work on your own... ... !!”

“Among the hundreds of demons chasing the prisoners, do you see someone directly attacking them?”

“what?”

Lennok averted his gaze before responding to the giant’s words.

Prisoners running to all directions of the garden, and ghosts chasing them while floating in the air.

Lennok said, looking at the white ghosts wearing gray-white hoods.

“Instead of attacking the fleeing prisoners, they are subtly driving them into the cracks.”

“uh... ... ?”

“It’s been decided what to do if this happens.”

“.......”

“Even though the criminals of Yorta were imprisoned, the restraints and monitoring were very poor.”

While the giant blinked his eyes, not understanding the meaning, Lennok laughed.

“It is an intentional trap. They are forcing the prisoners imprisoned in this prison through a deliberately constructed escape hatch.”

“That, like that... ... Are you saying that the exit itself didn’t exist in this prison in the first place!!”

“No, the exit itself must be real. There really is probably a way out of this prison.”

The Revelation of the Priestess and the writings of the Ghost Report. Neither of these things can be false, so it is true that there is a way out.

But what does it mean that Yorta is deliberately luring prisoners to the exit despite knowing that fact?

“It must be extremely difficult to escape from here, or a very dangerous monster is guarding the exit.”

“... ... Did you confirm that with your supernatural power?”

“No, considering the circumstances, there is no need to do that-”

Lennok, who was about to reply nonchalantly, paused and nodded.

“Yes. Because I know something you don’t know.”

The prisoner, who was buried in the ground with a look of despair, found Lennok and screamed desperately.

“Sorry for running away first!! please please! Please, I beg you like this one more time!!”

Kudo deuk!!

The prisoner’s voice became thin and high as he begged for his life as he buried his face in the dirt.

“Live, live... ... !! Aaaaaa!!”

The moment the prisoner’s voice, screaming in a fit, cut off.

A white ghost appeared over the corpse of the prisoner who had been dragged under the tombstone.

As I swung the scythe while wearing a gray-white hood, a whitish spiritual body gushed out and fell into the hand of the white ghost.

Separation of body and spirit. The figure of taking only the soul from the already dead body so easily.

The priestess, who had been looking at the scene without a word, murmured.

[Separation of body and soul. This tomb was there to facilitate the process.]

“.......”

The white ghost disappeared on the spot without even looking back at Lenok.

Probably moving to retrieve the soul of another prisoner who died elsewhere.

Lennok immediately got up from his seat and followed the ghost.

The noise of the prisoners’ voices disappeared before I knew it, and the vast field became quiet in an instant.

Only the piles of dirt in the graveyard wriggling without dying and dozens of white ghosts waiting for their time beneath them look terrifying.

Even though they were clearly aware of Lenok’s existence, they ignored him as if they had made a promise.

I walked along the path beside the graveyard, and finally reached the end of the windswept garden, and I began to see a different landscape than before.

A high barrier of ice blocking the way out of the garden.

And a gigantic, grayish figure that quietly stirs while trapped inside.

The prisoners who had survived and reached the end of the garden were pounding the ice barrier with dissatisfaction.

“Open the way!!”

“We’re getting out of here!”

bang, bang!!

Even if you put your mana into it and hit it with all your might, the ice barrier doesn’t break, and it doesn’t even show any signs of shaking.

The prisoners, who had been gasping for breath, looked back at Lennok with an angry expression.

“Prophet, this is a different story!”

“Wasn’t this the way out?!”

[.......]

The priestess’ spirit body frowned as if it were displeased at the prisoners’ attitude of expressing resentment towards Lennok.

But instead of caring about those prisoners, Lennok silently watched the ice barrier and the cold winds blowing from beyond.

The wind penetrating the entire 5th floor underground, and a gigantic figure located at the epicenter.

It was because I remembered that I had encountered a composition similar to this a while ago.

“The Prophet.”

At that moment, the giant approaching with the other prisoners held out a small piece of paper to Lennok.

“I wrote only the words I could see while walking around the garden where the cemetery is located.”

“contents is?”

“That is... ... It’s such a complicated story that I don’t even know.”

The giant looked at the ice barrier with a strange expression that was difficult to describe and said.

“It seems to be an explanation of the monster guarding this prison... ... .”

“Was there a story about the Guardian Spirit?”

“......!!!”

This time, as if I hadn’t expected it at all, the figure of a giant with both eyes wide open.

But Lennok ignored the giant’s reaction and picked up a piece of paper from his hand and unfolded it.

The wind that penetrates the entire prison and the epicenter from which the wind blows.

The fact that the identity of this wind itself is the breath of a creature so gigantic that its shape is difficult to guess.

It was because Lennok had encountered this exact composition once in the conscious world of Handbook.

As expected, the writings left by the author of the travelogue were filled with information about the owner of this tomb.

[Lord Frost. The corpse of the dead Guardian Spirit.]

[The result of an experiment conducted after one failed attempt at Mangwi Night.]

[As a corpse covered with the curse of metamorphosis, the essence was eaten and only instinct remained.]

The curse of metamorphosis.

A concept previously mentioned in the Ascendant Handbook and warned against Lennok’s own Guardian Spirit Beast.

While Lennok was silent after confirming the words, the giant asked urgently.

“How are you? Do you think there is a way?”

“.......”

“If you already knew the contents of the travelogue, you would know how to get through this situation, right? Quickly tell me how!”

“Well... ... .”

Lennok muttered as he turned his gaze toward the ice barrier.

“Maybe you should worry about staying alive, not running away.”

“what?”

At that moment, the gray figure that had been trapped inside the ice barrier began to swell.

coo cooo... ... !!

With just that, huge cracks spread all over the ice barrier, and in an instant, the barrier was broken and the body stood up.

Kwaaaaang!!

“Aaaagh!”

“Get out of the way!!”

Figures of prisoners dying in an instant under the fragments of a collapsing barrier.

Awesome!!

A gray giant stepping on the corpses of those prisoners and slowly straightening out the crooked body.

[Whoa... ... .]

The breath that flowed from the giant’s mouth contained an eerie chill that could be felt from a distance of several tens of meters.

“That is the corpse of a spirit beast born in the realm of Yoreta. It’s not something for criminals to deal with.”

But even as Lennok said that, he walked past the others without hesitation.

Lennok grinned as he met the gloomy eyes of the Frostlord staring straight at him.

“Maybe we can solve one of the goals that came to Yorta in advance.”
