Genius Magician Who Takes Medicine Chapter 927

Anathema (1)

After Slaine finished speaking, the attendees of the meeting began to prepare for the ceremony.

The benefits are traded between those who directly participate in the ritual and gain special abilities and those who will assist in the ritual.

The speculation that was swirling around the ceremony hall has calmed down to some extent with Innocence taking Lennok’s side.

The other 8th level is also probably because they don’t want to show off their full power while everyone is watching.

“Then, as promised, I will take the Bagua in the southwest.”

“The Bagua of the North. The capacity is larger than other axes of the beopjin. “It would be better if someone who can afford it takes it.”

“It’s a pity that the Bagua of the West was taken over by Gorei first. Because the dosage was most appropriate, it was likely to be a good spirituality....”

Olynyk and Lazy Tillian. In addition, those who decided to attend the ceremony step forward one by one to settle the situation.

Those who refused to participate from the beginning, including a giant with supernatural powers and a red-faced man wearing a mask, only occasionally participate in the conversation.

Looking at that, Lennok was able to guess why Slaine focused most of the content of this meeting on the manifestation ritual.

Just by discussing and collaborating on the progress of the ritual, exchanges between level 8 superhumans, which had barely existed before, continue from time to time.

This may be because they judged that the exchange, which is the purpose of the meeting, would naturally continue just by explaining the ceremony and encouraging attendance.

‘Did you say Slaine? I don’t remember ever hearing their names...’

With Jenny’s help, I received materials that were lost during the civil war, but there are too many powerful people whose names are unknown.

Considering the size of the huge city, it may not be possible to know all the superhumans, but a mediator of Slaine’s level would most likely have an unusual reputation.

It would be easier to get information later from Innocent or Feisha, who we already know.

Lennok, who already possesses the Dharma Circle, should be able to just head to one of the eight axes of the Later Heaven’s Eight Trigrams Dharma Circle without the need for any other preparation.

As Lennok was about to leave the ceremony hall, a familiar roar was heard from behind.

[Hearing. I was very impressed.]

Grumble!

A thin man standing with a rotating metal sphere instead of his head.

Olinik, the pretender who had already reached an agreement with the others, looked at Lennok and gave a humorous greeting.

[They say they don’t kill people easily. No one can make a statement that tastes like that. It was a word that so perfectly summarized your ambiguous nature.]

“Did you come here to be sarcastic?”

thud!

In response to Lennok’s reply, Innocence, who was standing next to him, firmly struck down the spear pole.

The loud noise made other attendees turn their gazes, and Olynyk shrugged his shoulders as if he couldn’t stop it.

[It was a compliment that was close to high praise. It’s a pity that my true feelings are not conveyed.]

“It sounds like sarcasm bordering on ridicule.”

[It’s unfortunate that we lost a thousand times, but it’s understandable at this level. Above all...]

Olynyk’s expressionless gaze seemed to be directed at the innocence standing next to Lennok.

[It’s not just that he restored Turyeonmun’s protective style to normal, he’s treating him like a servant, so if he’s a man, that’s fine.] “....”

Olynik

‘s words don’t even bother to hide that they are provocations.

However, Innocence quietly nodded despite Olynyk’s sarcasm.

“It’s been a while. Olynyk.”

[That’s right, Azlan. It was 25 years ago that you met me with a sober mind.]

“....”

[You criticized and ridiculed our methods and scolded us that we should not avoid madness in that way. Do you remember?]

Olynyk asked in a humorous tone.

[So, I don’t know if the famous Protector acquired a noble spirit by honing his martial arts.]

“I was foolish. “It was only after I felt sorry for my granddaughter that I was finally able to admit that I was broken.”

Innocent said calmly.

“I won’t make excuses. I was wrong. “It broke down a while ago and is standing here.”

[....]

“Even now, his condition has not improved and he is keeping his distance from Tulianmun. If I were to be honest, I just went back in time to a time before it became irreversible.”

Crood Azlan was able to escape from his madness because Lennok restored his mind using Kayse’s pocket watch.

Rather than solving the fundamental problem, it simply returns it to the way it was before it got worse.

Innocent probably understands that fact better than anyone else.

“Now this is where I belong.”

Claude raised his spear and pointed next to Lennok.

“Even if things are broken and broken so that we can no longer go back, we are next to a benefactor who can give us an end.”

[He is a benefactor who can bring about the end...]

Olynik’s tone became thin.

[Are you saying that that man can give you a more perfect ending than what we said?]

“What can I say?”

[....]

Innocence laughed and Olynyk was silent.

Olynyk, who had been silently looking at the innocence, slowly took his steps back.

[If you are satisfied with the increased time to regret, I have nothing more to say.]

“Thank you for your concern.”

Olynyk did not respond to the simple greeting of innocence.

Instead, he just nodded to Lennok as if saying hello and left the ceremony hall first.

Innocence added belatedly, as if explaining it to Lennok.

“Lord Olynik is good at handling metals and received help from a relationship from a long time ago. This spear is also a weapon made in the furnace of Gisu Shrine.”

“know.”

“....”

“It brings tears to my eyes to see the dirty losers hugging each other.”

Behind Lennok, Feisha said sarcastically as if she saw something very funny.

“Would it be a little comforting if a mix of failed and likely-to-fail people lick each other?”

“...Lord Grisburn.”

He looked back at Feisha with a clouded expression of innocence and shook his head.

“There is no need to deny it. “You too will be seeing a similar ending through me.”

“under! “What bullshit.”

“Lord Olynyk was not wrong when he laughed at us. “Didn’t you and I both have the spirit to challenge the sky with a spear in our hands?”

Innocence, standing in front of Feisha, looked up at the sky with his back turned.

“But it was impossible to put the entire human heart into a window. “Just like I did, you too will face the end of going crazy, unable to even recognize people close to you.”

“That’s not a good thing to say. Do you think he would have transcended the hierarchy without even that kind of determination?”

A sharper sneer appeared on Feisha’s lips.

“Did you hope for a comfortable death while destroying the spirit and hierarchy and pursuing power? “Did you think you could lie in bed like everyone else and close your eyes while your grandchildren watch?”

“....”

Feisha mocked the silent innocence without hesitation.

“If you threw away one, you should have given up another. “If you wanted more and didn’t want to give even a single thing, then it wasn’t just greed, you old man.”

“Greeceburn. Should I keep my mouth shut like I did during the meeting?”

When Lennok opened his mouth with an annoyed expression, only then did Feisha close her mouth.

Even if it was her, she didn’t want to be crushed face down on the floor by magical power like before.

Lennok let out a small sigh at the sight of Feisha still glaring at her innocence without hiding her murderous intent.

“I don’t know how Ethan Bajur managed to put a leash on a rabid dog like you. “He has a bad speaking habit and goes around poking people with the tip of his tongue, so it’s a wonder he’s still alive with his arms and legs intact.”

“Even if someone weaker than me holds a grudge, nothing will change.”

Feisha sneered.

“Do you think those guys who don’t even have the skills to protect themselves would have the guts to hurt me?”

“That’s why you set up without knowing the world and ended up losing to me.”

“....”

Feisha, who had become mute, gritted her teeth.

“If we meet again, the results will be different. Next time, I will never use your magic...”

“It’s time. “Don’t move.”

Innocent clears his throat and moves after Lennok, who doesn’t even pretend to hear him.

I raise the rotating Eight Trigrams from behind my back and slowly step into the light.

As soon as it entered, magical energy was consumed, the rotation speed of the beam increased, and the pillar of light rising into the sky curved long and gently crossed the night sky.

Swooooooong...!!

Eight pillars of light rising from all over Etanok bend against the sky and intersect in the center of the city.

The central point of light intersecting from eight directions struck the ground and hit the altar of the ceremony hall, exposing the ceiling.

Kuoooo!!

Lennok, who walked out of the pillar while taking the prisoner away, spoke to Innocence.

“The ritual has begun. Now we just have to wait for Anathema’s body to appear on the altar in the ritual hall.”

“....”

“Azlan?”

Even if you were standing on top of the control tower, there is no way you wouldn’t have heard it, but there was no answer for Innocent.

Lennok frowned and immediately used his blinker to climb onto the control tower.

“...half. “It seems like something strange has happened.”

Claud Azlan then turned his gaze with a strangely stern expression.

He spoke as he watched the back of the facility, flapping his white coat.

“As you said, I was keeping an eye on Father Duris’s posture, but even after the ceremony was over, he didn’t even move from the spot.”

“....”

Innocent asked with a serious expression.

“Isn’t this very far from the attitude of the person who wanted to receive protection from us?”

“...Let me check.”

Lennok said so and headed to the maintenance yard behind the airport facility with his innocence.

The appearance of a mechanical spider lying down with its eight legs folded among sand-covered parts and scrap metal.

The appearance of shining red eyes is no different from before, but there is no reaction even when Lennok approaches.

Lennok asked, standing right in front of the mechanical spider while raising his magic power.

“What is the life reaction?”

“I can’t feel it. But that’s because it’s been like that since Master Duris first appeared.”

“This is a workshop that creates top-class presence blocking artifacts like the Nyx insignia. “It’s not strange, but...”

However, it is strange that there is no reaction even though Lennok and Innocence are this close.

Wanting protection was an excuse, and while the ceremony was going on, he ran away, leaving behind the mechanical spider.

Slam!

Innocent asked, raising the spear.

“I could split that spider’s head right now.”

“...no. wait.”

Lennok narrowed his eyes and slowly approached the mechanical spider.

He silently climbs on top of the mechanical spider, extends his magician, and opens the control seat.

Slam!!

The appearance of a mechanical spider without any resistance or movement even when the seat is opened.

“....”

But Lennok’s expression, looking down at the cockpit, had become much colder than before.

When he belatedly checked the inside of the cockpit, his innocent expression also slightly hardened.

“This is...”

The appearance of Oshuto Duris sitting while holding onto the control stick.

The old man, who was looking relieved, had a hole the size of a coin between his eyebrows, and blood and brain fluid were dripping together.

The body fluids he shed had filled up under his feet in the cramped cockpit, giving off the indescribable smell of death.

The former owner of Duris Workshop and a level 8 meister has died.

The moment Lennok opened his mouth to say something about that fact.

“Fuck it’s fast!!!”

Kwaaaaaaaaaa!!!

At the same time as a loud roar came from the other side of the runway, Feisha’s high-pitched voice burst out.

“Something comes from outside. Get ready!!!”

[Kwiiikik...!!!!]

A strange shape rippling like waves on the other side of the pure white sand desert.

Thousands of monsters that looked like they were made of flesh cobbled together were walking through the desert, forming a group, and running towards the city.

* * *

Thousands of monsters running through the desert with strange, unavoidable screams.

Monsters that seemed to have been forcibly created by clumping together human flesh covered the desert outside the satellite city at an incredible speed.

Doo doo doo doo!!!

It quickly approaches the runway, stepping on its bizarre front and back feet that look like a mixture of human hands and feet.

[Kuii profit !!]

[Taki -gwan !!]

[Curbi ... !!!]

As if you are a pork, a sleepy person screams like a scream.

Feisha let out a double curse and raised her spear.

“These monsters are not affected by the siege barrier. What?”

[Kwiiik!!!]

With a single light spear, the charging flesh monster burst like a balloon.

Ugh!!

A mixture of blood, flesh, muscles, and bones explodes, and Feisha covers her bare body with the bodily fluids.

Feisha, whose entire body was drenched in blood in an instant, licked her lips and grinned.

“It looks like shit, but the taste of blood is the same as that of a human. “They’re fun.”

Huh!!

The wind created by simply twisting and swinging the spear blade instantly pushes away the fleshy monsters.

Wow!!

Uddudduk!!

“I feel a little relieved now, fuck!!!”

Feisha, who crushed dozens of monsters between cracks in the runway with a single wave of her hand, burst out laughing.

“Go for it you bastards. “I will kill them all myself!!!”

A series of eerie crashing noises echo from the other side of the runway, along with a loud shout.

Innocence, who was watching this from afar, tilted his head with a perplexed expression.

“It’s like a ghost crying. What on earth is going on?...”

At the same time that Anathema’s incarnation ritual began, an 8th level meister died and an unknown attack began on the outskirts of the city.

Moreover, it is impossible to guess who killed the Meister or who is responsible for the current attack on the satellite city.

While the innocent was worried about the strange events that occurred almost simultaneously on both sides of the airport, Lennok said as he extended his hand towards Otto’s body.

“Azlan. “I need you to go to the ceremony hall and deliver the news.”

“What do you mean?”

“The manifestation ritual has started, but it needs time to be fully completed. “We must protect this place at least until Anathema’s body appears.”

“So, we must immediately concentrate on helping you protect this place...”

“No, we must tell you who is attacking the city. “It’s a bigger problem than you think.”

Lennok bent down and rubbed the pool of blood under his feet.

The fight is so intense that the remains of the flesh monster that Feisha is killing are already spilling out here.

Lennok grabbed the blood clot with his gloved hand and stared at it with a sinking gaze.

“It is the result of synthesizing living human bodies and removing intelligence, leaving only the bare minimum of instinct. “Regardless of its hideous appearance, it is not something that can be done easily.”

“....”

The human body and mind are much more fragile than we think.

Even the slightest shock can lead to death, and most organs stop working the moment the connection is severed and die.

In order to synthesize human bodies with different genes and blood types and keep them alive, much more delicate techniques and tricks are needed than expected.

“If this is a force that is so used to pranks using the human body, isn’t it obvious who is behind it?”

Lennok turned his gaze towards the outside of the city, seeing the surprised innocence on his face.

“The church intervened. They were already watching this place even before the talks started.”
