Chapter 873

The Medicine-Taking Genius Wizard Episode 873

: Eyes that See Destiny (9)

Wow!

A complex cityscape that breaks like glass.

In the midst of chaos where everything that shines is cracked by an ensemble of deafening roars.

Even as all the visible space is being destroyed, the door to the open sea, mixing day and night, remains in place.

The [gate] on the open sea that Vice Mayor Amy Weinston showed them around is definitely real.

It’s just that through him, no one has been able to reach the depths of District 19, which is said to exist outside the open sea.

“I knew Lapis didn’t have access rights.”

Lennok asked, turning to face the deputy mayor standing on the edge of the collapsing rooftop.

Grumbling!!

The flames that rose from the fingertips stretched out along the steps, drawing a tail of flame.

“Were you still suspicious even after completing the biometric code test?”

[I never fully believe in something I begin to doubt.]

The deputy mayor answered calmly even in the face of Lennok’s fierce stance.

[Feeling ominous is the answer derived unconsciously through countless experiences. Even if there is no basis, I completely trust my own judgment.]

Are you the type of person who completely trusts and follows your own intuition rather than solid evidence and reasons?

However, it is natural for Amy Weinston to think so if she rose to the position of deputy mayor of the Balkans despite maintaining such a way of life.

[Rather, you are the one who is terrible. Who would have thought that even after coming all the way here and seeing the [Moon] in person, he would suspect its existence and rescue its owner.]

The deputy mayor’s eyes narrowed as he looked at Lennok.

[I thought that someone who knew the Gate of the Open Sea well would never suspect this situation... but it’s really hard to read the wizard’s intentions. They are still an unpleasant group.]

“Yes. “I understand that everything I said in response was a ploy to control this situation the way I wanted.”

bang!!

The flames that burst out melt the glass door at the back of the rooftop. Lennok, who had blocked his escape corner, stretched out his hand forward.

The deputy mayor tried to avoid him, but as if he had read his movements, he narrowed the distance and sneaked in through the gap.

Hand gestures much slower than those of Weinston. However, Lennok’s hand suddenly grabbed the vice mayor’s collar as if being sucked in.

Sigh!

[Whoops...!!]

“But if you wanted to fool me until the end, you shouldn’t have talked about the ban.”

Lennok’s fingertips turned red and soon dug into the iron mask that covered the deputy mayor’s lower rank.

Although he struggled roughly, the iron mask, unable to overcome the heat, was torn off, exposing his bare skin.

Tdu-duk!!

The vice mayor’s mouth and chin, hidden under the mask, were miserably crushed, as if they had been dissolved in poison.

“If you say that this is what happened as a reward for breaking the project’s prohibitions and then reveal the secrets of District 19, it’s natural to be suspicious.”

“Ugh...”

Weinston’s lips are torn and he has no teeth or tongue, spitting out only simple sounds.

Was the vocalization itself implemented through a function built into the iron mask in the first place?

said Lennok, shoving the half-melted iron mask back into her mouth.

“Why did you break the agreement and try to kill Lapis? “Is there any benefit for the city government in this situation where the Philenom Autonomous Territory’s non-aggression pact has not been terminated?”

[Huh huh... You’re not going to kill me?]

“Why do you want me to make you feel comfortable here quickly?”

Lennok laughed.

“You are not incapable of feeling pain or a fearless madman. “It’s just a prosthetic body made using android manufacturing technology.”

[....]

“Considering that the main body’s hierarchy is not high, it is probably not at the level of manipulating multiple artificial bodies at the same time. Is this a method of moving to a new body using the death of the artificial body as a trigger? “I guess I had abandoned my body a long time ago, leaving only my spirit behind.”

Lennok, who knew that research on androids had been conducted in District 19, thought there was a high possibility that the vice mayor also knew about related technology.

After the ban was lifted, it would not be surprising if the technology for manufacturing androids even influenced high-ranking officials in the Balkans.

Moreover, hadn’t Lennog heard from Mayer that Amy Weinston was a master of bionics and had a very open mind when it came to related technologies?

It would not be strange if the boldness of guiding a person through a closed area alone comes from having a spare body ready.

Lennok guessed this and realized that Amy Weinston was insensitive to pain, so he tried to subdue her.

“Even though it is a prosthetic body, the reason your mouth and chin are so crushed is probably because the price of prohibition is always applied. “It would be a curse that would eat away at your mind, not your body.”

[Haha, I understand that much about prohibition.]

The vice mayor said, putting his iron mask on his mouth with trembling hands.

[Because of this wound, you might not think of me as a prosthetic body. I had guessed that he was not an ordinary wizard when I inherited access rights, but- ah!!]

Jaw!!

Lennok, who roughly pushed the deputy mayor to the ground, looked at him with cold eyes and said,

“If I kill you right here, you will only wake up in a new body stored in a safe place. Why should I help you escape from here safely?”

[Off...!!]

The deputy mayor’s body was thrown onto the flagpole at the end of the roof of the building, which was constantly shaking, and tied with magic thread.

Tduduk!!

With that alone, the deputy mayor’s neck was slightly bent and the sound of a bone breaking was heard.

“say. “If it was an agreement to be broken from the beginning, why did you bring Lapis here in the first place?”

[Fu huhuhu...!!! Are you curious as to why you did this?]

At that moment, the deputy mayor, who was out of breath, suddenly burst into laughter.

Even as he crawls and rolls around on the ground, his eyes do not dim at all.

Amy Weinston smiled as she looked away and saw Lapis standing behind her.

[If you want such a trivial explanation, I can give it to you. The fact that the Central Council had different opinions on this matter also means that the process was designed to exclude the Blue House.] “...Are you saying that the

consultation with the city council itself was a lie from the beginning?”

[At a time when the position of the Qing Dynasty on the central front has grown too much, it is natural that other major powers are also not willing to sit idly by. The Congress and the government also just made a choice.]

The vice mayor whispered slowly to Lapis, who was silent with an expression of frustration.

[It’s just that there were more city council members with connections to the federation and warlords rather than the secret society led by Cheongyeon’s granddaughter.]

“....”

[With the birth of the Corrupted Ascendant, the landscape of the Central Front is changing dramatically. Sooner or later, the city government will have to sort out its position.]

The vice mayor muttered as he looked around the crumbling city center outside District 19.

[This is just a simple step to organize the surroundings. Don’t you think it was too reckless from the start?]

There was a hint of ridicule in Weinston’s eyes that could not be hidden.

[What on earth can you believe that you can get what you want in this city without any trouble-]

[Aaaah!!!!]

He thrust his blackened upper body forward and let out an indescribable scream as he stretched out his hand towards Lennok.

[Aaaah!! Ahhh!!]

A corrupted life that hates and curses all living things and spews out bitter cries.

Lennok immediately noticed that it looked somewhat familiar, but he didn’t have time to look at it.

“Partisan!!”

“Here we go...!!”

Even right in front of him, he catches the presence of Lapis and Patisia in the invisible void and grabs them.

Lennok grabbed a hard part, not sure if it was the crane’s leg or beak, and took out an old pencil and stabbed it into the bodies of Patisia and Lapis.

Right next to him, the body of Amy Weinston, wearing an iron mask, stumbled and fell.

[Ha ha ha ha...!! I didn’t expect this...!!]

Even if you’re a deputy mayor who changes his body if he gets caught among those pollutants, he won’t be able to withstand the mental damage.

It’s not bad to watch the deputy mayor who was relying on the body suffer while he was there, but it’s more effective to keep him alive and use him as a hostage.

Thinking like that, Lennok inadvertently raised his magic power, felt his stomach violently shake, and tightened his mouth.

‘Magic power...!!’

What Lennok had just attempted was to forcibly hasten the destruction of Area 19 by absorbing all the magic power that maintains the gate to the open sea.

Aside from forcibly increasing the maximum magical power, whose growth had been delayed so far, the goal was to completely paralyze District 19 so that it could not function properly for the time being.

However, because he absorbed magic power that was not his own too quickly and grew stronger, the control of magic power in his body was immediately shaken.

The vice mayor’s smile became even brighter as he immediately noticed this.

[...I guess we’ll see each other again next time.]

Amy Weinston, falling backwards, looked back at Lennok and whispered.

[It will not be a farewell, but another meeting.]

Open your arms wide and welcome the tens of thousands of pollutants rushing towards you from the other side of the void.

[Next time, I’ll let you see your face in a more convenient place.]

Quaduk!! Tdu-duk!! Ugh!!!

The deputy mayor’s body being torn apart with an indescribable, terrible noise.

The vice mayor’s face contorted in unbearable pain and then disappeared in an instant without leaving a trace.

The pollutants that ate the living body in an instant couldn’t overcome their hunger and cried out and rushed towards Lennok.

A strange sight in which pollutants rush in and black fog curves long as they fall into an endless void.

It’s as if they’re running away from the flies that live in the stomach of a huge monster.

However, Lennok was hesitant to use Enakpil’s five fingers until the very end.

‘It’s impossible to specify someone else’s coordinates. If you can’t escape the closed area...’

Enakpil’s Five Fingers is a technique that randomly transports the user out of a certain distance.

Although we can immediately increase the distance to which Lennok’s magic is transferred, we cannot accurately specify the coordinates in this state.

Both Lapis and Patisia may end up scattered and it may not be possible to know where they fell.

“Evan.”

But at that moment, Lapis quietly held Lennok’s hand and whispered.

Little drops of blood fell between her closed eyelids.

“I can help you. “I will be watching.”

“...!!”

The moment Lennok understood the true meaning of those words and immediately activated the artifact.

Paaaaa!!!

At the same time as there was a violent vibration that was incomparable to anything seen before, the scenery surrounding the three people changed completely, as if the colors were mixing together.

* * *

Peeeeeeee!!

Uddangtangtang!!!

Behind the old brick building.

Lennok’s new model glided through the ruins inside the wall where a lot of trash was thrown away.

Flap!

Patisia spread her wings and gracefully took Lapis and naturally landed on Lennok’s fallen back.

“Cough!!”

Lennok coughed and glared at Patisia with a cold gaze.

“Move.”

“...I didn’t mean to.”

Patisia cleared her throat and got off Lennok’s back while holding Lapis in her arms.

Lennok stood up and looked at the fallen face of Lapis.

“What is the condition?”

Just before using Enakpil’s five fingers, Lapis used her supernormal abilities to forcibly ‘observe’ the destination.

Thanks to that, the three were able to safely escape out of District 19 without being scattered throughout the city.

On the contrary, it is clear that Lapis used her supernormal abilities excessively.

Lapis, who was shedding bloody tears little by little, seemed to have completely lost her mind.

“Because the already delicate supernormal ability of sight-seeing was overused, the reaction will be significant. In the worst case scenario, maybe...”

“Tell me. What is it?”

Patisia said, barely able to calm her trembling voice.

“There may be a big problem with your eyesight for a while...” “

....”

Lennok hid his confusion and took out his cell phone from his pocket.

Now that we have escaped out of Area 19 and the situation has been resolved, we need to contact Evelyn and inform her of the current situation.

However, the first thing that came to mind in the message was not a communication related to Lapis or Evelyn.

As if Dabi had been waiting, the news that had just been announced was shown on the phone screen.

Lennok, who was absentmindedly trying to scroll through the screen, stopped when he heard the announcer’s voice.

[The meeting with the Eye of the Blues, which was held secretly in a closed area, ended in a bad outcome...]

[Lapis Palsier, the leader of the Eye of the Blues, is suspected of attempting to assassinate Mayor Weinston, who participated in the meeting, and is currently under suspicion. The vice mayor is believed to be in a deep coma...]

[The city government defined the lighthouse keeper and his wizard as high-ranking terrorists, issued an arrest warrant, and requested that they be wanted.]

“...This.”

A screen of a Balkan city reflected in news transmitted beyond a mobile phone screen.

The faces of Lennok and Lapis appeared on every billboard and screen on the street.
