Chapter 1002

The Genius Wizard Who Takes Medicine Episode 1002

: Combined Liquor (3)

The Three Seats of the Demonic Power Enlightenment Front. Michal Zelich, the Immortal.

A superhuman with immortality based on super regeneration and a superhuman who was captured and dissected alive by a splicer.

Zelich, whom even Bernard had not expected to survive, was still alive.

The entire body was dissected and placed in a water tank with only half of the brain remaining.

[Right. I came at the request of Bernard~]

The left brain contained in the tank shook and slowly spewed out mental waves.

[What a special guy. In fact, he was kind to me even when he was the youngest at Pioneer.]

“....”

[I once gave him pocket money when he could afford it, and he never forgot the favor. It feels rewarding in its own way.]

“I guess now is not the time to be spouting such sentiments.”

Lennok asked, looking at the brain messing around in the tank with a bewildered expression.

“No matter how immortal he is, shouldn’t he already be dead? “Why is he still alive even though his entire body has been dissected and only his brain remains?”

[What do you want me to be dead now? Well, it makes sense. Who would want to take away a toy that was defeated by a splicer?]

Zelich chuckled and his left brain fluttered.

[I’m sorry, but I’ve been through a lot of worse things than this in my life. I don’t mind this much.]

“....”

[It’s been a while since I became insensitive to pain and death. I guess I could say that I was secretly hoping for it... Hahaha, it’s just a joke!]

Zelich said, making a silly joke in response to himself.

[I don’t want to die, but staying alive like this isn’t entirely my will. It is the so-called crime of unauthorized possession of a body and embezzlement of property.]

[There is no such crime in Continental law.]

[Hmm? What did you say?]

“It’s nothing.”

Lennok lightly patted Dabi, who couldn’t resist a retort, and glanced into his coat.

“If you were dissected by a grafter, where would your other body parts be?”

After saying that, Lennok immediately corrected the question.

“How can you communicate at such a high level with only half of your left brain?”

Even if it is understandable that Zelich, who has immortality, is still alive with only his brain remaining.

It was definitely strange that half of his brain had been removed and only the left hemisphere was left to talk to Lennok.

Although the cerebral cortex is said to be important in the operation of superpowers, isn’t it strange that it is so intact?

[That’s because the left brain’s role in understanding and expressing language is much greater than the right brain’s.]

But Zelich’s answer was much more detailed than expected.

[There is no difference in receiving and understanding information, but it is the left brain’s job to output it.]

“....”

[I don’t know why the alcoholic beverage owner cut off only my left brain and kept it, but the fact that I communicate with you like this is the same. is not a strange thing.]

The left brain seemed to be staring at Lennok.

[Rather, from my perspective, your existence is more surprising. Even though you are not a member of the Flying Corps, you react so sensitively to the mental waves of a psychic... If I hadn’t listened to your explanation, I would have thought you were a very powerful innate ability captured by a master of conjugation.]

“You were captured by a master of magic?”

[Because grafters have a habit of collecting and dissecting potential or rare talents.]

Zelich answered in a bitter tone.

[That’s why I ended up like this after I was defeated by the alcoholic drinker. My abilities are quite unusual even among the special abilities, so I suffered quite a lot here and there.]

“By suffering, do you mean that you cooperated with the church’s immortal body experiments?”

[...Hmm, I guess I heard Bernard explain that part.]

At that moment, I felt the left brain’s response momentarily slowing down.

Does this mean that the immortality experiment was a more unpleasant experience for Zelich than the current situation?

It was hard for Lennok to believe it, looking back at the devastation left behind in this operating room.

“I know that the immortal body experiment was a project to create a body for the cult leader.”

Lennok’s eyes brightened as he clutched the fish tank.

“What happened there? “Did you meet the cult leader in person in return for your cooperation in the immortal body experiment?”

The immortal body experiment is the cult’s human experiment to create a body for the cult leader who cannot remain in reality.

Wasn’t the victim created through that experiment none other than Dylan O’Casey of the Antares mercenary group?

Considering Dylan’s incredible regenerative ability, one can imagine how powerful the concept of immortality that the church was pursuing through experiments with immortal bodies was.

And it is clear that Zelich served as a model in that process.

If we find out the inside story of the experiment, we can adjust Dylan’s regenerative abilities and bring him back.

Conversely, it may also be possible to copy the regenerative ability itself and give it to Lennok.

[You know a lot about undead experiments. From there, it would have been a confidential matter that even those involved in the experiment could not easily mention...]

However, Zelich only hesitated and could not easily respond to Lennok’s request.

[I’m sorry. I don’t know much about the specific process of the experiment. I simply provided my physical information to the experiment.]

“....”

[At the time, there were several specimens close to immortality in the experiment, including me. There were true ancestor vampires, seven kalpa long-lived species, and phantom beasts who learned life-extending techniques.]

“There were other specimens besides you in the experiment?”

[The immortal body experiment sought to identify laws by synthesizing biometric information from such specimens and apply them to the human body. I also feel responsible for the victims that occurred in the process, but...]

Zelich shifted his left brain with an uncomfortable look.

[How should I say it? At that time, I couldn’t go against the church. To be precise, that is how much I believed in the religious leader.]

“....”

[Because there are not many beings in this world who can truly call themselves gods. Even if I failed, I just thought that if I had saved the world... I could also be saved.]

I can feel Zelich’s mental waves, which had always been light, becoming infinitely heavier.

Does this mean that the salvation that Zelich was trying to obtain through the immortality experiment was that much desperate for him?

“I will open a subspace, so stay hidden. “If it’s not that bad, you won’t be able to hide your psychic wave from the alcoholic drinker.”

[Hide in the first place -]

Lennok, ignoring Zelich’s answer, gestured, and a small space crack opened under the tank, instantly swallowing Zelich.

A basic subspace created by Lennok while practicing manipulation techniques.

Although I was inspired by Agneta to create a subspace, the achievement itself is not yet high.

It’s barely big enough for one person, but it should be enough for temporary use like now.

Considering the transcendent sensitivity of the liquor, this method was the best right now.

Wow!!

At that moment, the wall of the anesthesia room burst open and the master of the joints walked in.

I look around the anesthesia room, rubbing my gloved hands with a dry towel as if I had just washed them.

“Hmm...”

Soolju’s eyes flashed indifferently between the surgical cap and mask.

He looked around the anesthesia room in silence and walked slowly with both hands raised.

Passing by the silent Lennok, he bows his head and stands in front of the stunned Mage Tower.

“....”

“I think we’re on the same level, but...”

Soolju, who had tilted his chin back and rolled his eyelids as he fainted, opened his mouth.

“I don’t understand the archmage’s thoughts. Should we even record that as part of personality?”

“What do you mean?”

“Why did you bother to knock out the magic tower lord again?”

The splicer’s eyes swiveled towards the silent Lennok.

“The exact amount of anesthetic I administered to Mtapju was the amount that should have taken effect 12 minutes from now. “Even allowing for a two-minute margin of error, I still had to come to my senses immediately after completing the first surgery.”

“....”

“The owner of the tower was forcibly knocked unconscious using the anesthesia room equipment. “I can guess what he was trying to do...”

The surgeon laid Tapju down on the operating table and felt the pulse on his neck, then tilted his head.

“Change in body temperature, which was maintained at 75 degrees immediately after anesthesia. Changes in heart rate. Considering the resistance to the effects of the newly administered anesthetic-”

The drinker slowly looked back at Lennok and asked.

“Did you steal the [Embers] belonging to the Mage Tower while I was away?”

“....”

Did they already figure it out just by briefly examining Tapju’s unconscious body?

However, Lennok was not swayed by the words of the tower owner, which struck the key point at once.

‘You still don’t know that I recovered Zelich’s left brain.’

The master of the joint was aware that Lennok had touched the tower owner, but did not know that Lennok had visited Zelich.

This is probably because, regardless of Lennok’s targeting resistance, no exploration or clairvoyance is allowed against Lennok.

If the drinker did not notice that Zelich’s left brain was missing, there is room for use.

After making his decision, Lennok slowly opened his mouth.

“You knew about embers even though you weren’t a flame wizard.”

“I’m also interested in maximizing the ultimate firepower through preheating.”

The drinker responded indifferently and slowly approached Lennok.

“I also know that the great wizards of the flame-heat world who have reached the level are looking for new embers to burn in place of their own energy.”

Uncharacteristically for a specialty magician, his understanding of flame magic is abnormally high.

Should we judge that the master of the joint liquor possessed profound insight as the master of the alliance?

“Ever since I was captured in my domain, I have been spending my time stealing the tower owner’s spark...”

The owner’s eyes narrowed as he looked down at Lennok.

“That is not the action of a magician who gave up his life. “It’s a preparation for living and promising the next time.”

“....”

“Are you not going to answer? Okay, that’s not what’s important.”

The owner snapped his fingers and the operating table where Lennok was tied began to slide.

Damn it...!!

As the writhing inner wall cracked, Lennok and Sulju’s new form moved inside the area as if they were overturned on the spot.

A type of spatial movement that completely exchanges the positional coordinates inside the operating room.

This was the moment when Lennok frowned at the unrealistic change of position without even a sense of speed.

“Case 29541. Main operating room 1 opened.”

Faaah!!

Before we knew it, Lennok was lying down in a pure white room with dazzling lighting.

A larger and more spacious space than any room I have ever seen in an operating room.

Complex machines located in all directions of the operating room are aimed at Lennok, who is lying on the operating table.

Slam!

When the fusion master pulled the lever on the wall, the powered machines all turned their heads towards Lennok.

“Decompression adjustment. Magic synchronization. Mana resistance offset. Maximum responsive resonance. Ready for operation up to the 3rd spare power room.”

At the same time as a red scale was engraved on Lennok’s body, a scale protruded between the aiming lines to determine the numerical value.

At the same time, more than a dozen graphs and data began to appear on the screen next to the operating table.

“Database open. In the remarks column, enter the special information mentioned from now on in order.”

The drinker, wearing transparent gloves on both hands, looked down at Lennok with an indifferent gaze and said.

“Let’s look at the blue eyes. The last owner of the Hanghasa Labyrinth. Heir to Ascendant Jindun’s barrier technique. “A level 8 flame-type archmage.”

“....”

“The current time is 2:42:14. Thousands of examinations of Evan Martinez are beginning.”

click!

The drinker’s eyes sparkled as he wiped the needle of the ampoule in his hand with disinfectant.

“Shall we check to see what’s inside that body?”
