The Medicine-Taking Genius Wizard Episode 955:
Prohibition (10)
Far Eastern Branch of the Guido Church. A decisive battle that took place on an island in the sea.
The day when the existence of a priestess and an apostle were mixed and a new being was born and died.
Lennok had met him at the moment when he was concluding his fight with the Ten Apostles Amrita Fraubel.
The second apostle is called the most elite and powerful even within the church.
A transcendent person who leads the actual steps of the church as the most perfect incarnation.
A monster who still maintains his sanity even while the other apostles go crazy.
How can we forget the horror of that day when he crossed the sea barefoot, arrived at the Far East branch alone, and attempted to kill all living things?
Appearance looks ordinary. Easy-going way of speaking. It is so serene that it is hard to believe that it is an incarnation that serves foreign media.
However, there is no doubt that hidden within him is the most dangerous and mysterious intention among all the apostles of the church.
“Why am I here? “That’s a meaningless question.”
The second apostle sitting next to Lennoc rested his chin and smiled lazily.
“Of course I came to get my glasses adjusted. “Can’t you see it?”
“....”
“For people with bad eyesight, it’s like a part of the body. “It’s something that requires careful attention at any time.”
While Lennok was silent, the Second Apostle joked calmly.
He slowly turned his head to look around the quiet workshop and smiled.
“The craftsmen at Duris Workshop are skilled with their hands and the quality guarantee period is quite long. “I also use it fondly.”
“Don’t stop talking nonsense.”
Since he says such things to people who knocked him out by crushing their consciousness with his own hands, the other person is not human after all.
However, the answer was that the second apostle, who bore great responsibility within the church, came to Duris Workshop and wasted time simply to get his glasses adjusted.
It may be because they are hiding another purpose or because the glasses are a special item that must be handled by the Arcane Workshop.
“I heard that Machina was turned upside down, but I didn’t know he was hiding in a place like this.”
The tension is so tight that it feels like it will break even if you pull it just a little.
Lennok chose his words slowly, carefully measuring the distance between himself and the other person.
The Second Apostle is a transcendent person who is said to be completely free from madness among the Apostles.
In terms of power and status, he stands in a unique position among the apostles of all time.
If you let your guard down even a little, you never know when you might catch the first strike.
It is difficult to expect that he, an apostle of foreign affairs, would care about the well-being of other people.
Lennok asked, raising his awareness so slowly that even the Avatar sitting right next to him could not recognize it.
“It seems that even the church’s top apostle had a hard time dealing with the machine city, right?”
“The Machine City is a place that is tied to a more complicated position than you might think.”
The second apostle raised his glasses and answered.
“The Supreme Council has lost its power, but the superhumans who rule the underworld behind the scenes are very picky. “In particular, big names like Mastermind and Chungryeong are dangerous enough for even the central government to check their movements periodically.”
“...Are you saying it took time to deal with the superhumans of the underworld?”
Although he didn’t know Chungryeong, Lennok also knew who the Mastermind was.
Aoshu Spero, a level 8 psychometrician living in the shadows of the Machine City.
He is a superhuman who approached Lennoc after the battle with Hermes and helped him clean up the mess with his abilities.
He spoke and acted as if he was acquainted with Maiya Renslit, and even acted favorably towards Lennok.
On the contrary, a madman who openly said in front of Lennok that he wanted to steal his memories and brain matter.
When Lennok stayed in Machina, he clashed with the machine city’s sunny forces, including the Supreme Council, so he only had a brief encounter with them at the end.
Clearly, the shadowy superhumans living in the Machine City were also monsters with considerable power and status.
Could it be that the Second Apostles also clashed with them in Machina and returned after clearing out all other forces?
“Let’s just say there was some kind of deal.”
He shrugged, leaving Lennok lost in thought.
“It wasn’t easy. “We had to destroy the old city to the point where it could not be restored for the time being, but not annihilate it.”
“....”
“Because an incarnation like me is given meaning to every action. “Wouldn’t it be difficult to be tied down to troublesome rituals like going and going?”
Lenok smiles calmly and casually brings out all the secrets and taboos he has been uncovering.
As if he was trying to guess Lennok’s reaction, or on the contrary, as if he didn’t even care about it at all.
From the moment he appears here, he feels free and cheerful, as if he is not bound by intention or purpose.
Therefore, Lennok felt an extremely clear confidence in the apostle in front of him.
“You knew I would be here from the beginning.”
The Second Apostles, who were laughing at Lennok’s confident words, stopped moving.
“The reason you contacted me at this time is probably because you have something to say about Kaise’s work.”
However, instead of taking out the kaleidoscope and unfolding the branch he had prepared, Lennok immediately drew in his magic from the eerie sense of discomfort he felt before his eyes.
‘There is none.’
A fleeting moment when the space and time of reality and the realm overlap.
The presence of the two apostles is not felt anywhere in both time and space.
Even when your senses and intuition go beyond their limits and reach transcendence, you cannot detect the presence of the two apostles standing in front of you.
“....”
After confirming this, Lennok folded his hands, and the area that had spread across the entire workshop was canceled and faded away.
“I heard that he has strong hands, but this is completely beyond what I expected.”
Even if he was the highest-ranking apostle, couldn’t he have taken over Lennok’s territory without taking any action?
The Second Apostle, who raised his hand and raised his magic power, muttered as if he was troubled.
“To suddenly expand your territory in a situation like this, you didn’t come here after deciding life or death with Anathema a few days ago-”
“That was the apostolic technique of the foreign god you serve.”
“....”
The Second Apostles fell silent for a moment at Lennok’s sharp words.
“Avoiding the realm of self-reflection is not something that is allowed for ordinary apostles or incarnations.”
The magnetic field is the point of self-transformation that overturns the practitioner’s image into the space and time of reality.
Because it is a power that changes space and time as a whole, it is not a technology that can be avoided or blocked.
It is possible for areas to collide or overlap, but it is impossible to avoid the area itself.
In that case, I can’t help but think that the abilities of the two apostles just showed are related to the apostle techniques he possesses.
“The detachment of space and time. Avoidance of concepts. Nullification of bondage. “In either case, it is impossible just by twisting thoughts or images.”
Lennok said, looking at the Second Apostle with sunken eyes.
“Your origin as an apostle. “It must be a power related to the identity of the foreign media you serve.”
From the moment he met the Second Apostle, Lennok was worried about a vague presence whose presence could not be read.
A strange sense of incongruity, of not being able to pinpoint its shape or object even though it clearly exists in front of one’s eyes.
Even when using Lennok’s priestly powers, his true nature as an apostle is not clearly visible.
Perhaps the strange atmosphere that is clearly different from other apostles is the essence of his apostle.
During the conversation with him, Lennok concluded his judgment and developed the area at the same time as the engagement to verify his guess.
“It is the origin of an apostle...”
Is it because he also noticed that Lennok had caught a glimpse of his true nature?
The second apostle smiled and shook his head with a troubled expression.
“I made a mistake. I should have assumed that the wizard who killed Anathema would know that much about the Apostle...” “
....”
“I didn’t expect that he would try to find out my technique by using the magnetic realm as bait. “This is a bit difficult.”
Although he lived as the second apostle of the cult leader, he was infinitely free from mania.
Does this mean that his abilities and apostolic techniques are the reason and origin of his not being able to go crazy yet?
However, while the apostle in front of him obediently acknowledged the fact, he did not seem to have any regrets about it.
While Lennok was thinking about that fact, the Second Apostle tilted his head.
“But the decision to bring up territory as soon as you decided to fight me is surprising. “It would be impossible unless you were quite confident in the power of the area... When I return to the headquarters, I will have to completely revise all the information about you.”
Although the Second Apostle did not see Lennok’s domain, he understood what Lennok’s response meant.
If you develop your territory immediately after preparing for a life-threatening battle, it is because you literally have absolute confidence in your territory.
Isn’t this because the magnetic field possessed by lightning is a power that is completely specialized for combat?
“If you had realized the power I wield, you would have also understood that this doesn’t mean much.”
The second apostle, who was leisurely massaging his wrist, tilted his head and asked.
“Do you still want to settle the matter here?”
“....”
Lennok was silent in response to the second apostle’s question.
At the point when Lennok confirmed the power of the Second Apostles, he was also feeling skeptical about whether he could fight any further.
Perhaps the fact that the Second Apostle remained calm even after showing part of the magic trick was intended to induce such a reaction.
A strong man with transcendent experience and talent that even Lennok cannot be sure of his odds of winning.
If such an opponent took a step back rather than confronting Lennok head-on, there would be no fight in the first place.
When Lennok, who had thought that far, withdrew his magic power, the second enlisted man also nodded and turned his back.
“There will be some time before Oshuto’s son wakes up.”
The Second Apostle smiled and gestured toward the outside of the workshop.
“Until then, let’s talk for a bit.”
“....”
“This is a story about Anathema’s death and Kaise Bajur’s role.”
