Drug-Eating Genius Mage

The Medicine-Taking Genius Wizard Episode 863:

Handover (31)

Shoot!!!

Dark cloudy sky. A dark back alley in the rain.

A construction tunnel with materials wrapped in old plastic scattered about.

The heavy rain pouring down outside is making my ears deaf.

The dirty rainwater flowing like a stream under your feet only gives you an idea of the fact that this place is open in both directions.

“Is it really okay?”

And in the center of the tunnel, an elderly man in a suit was pacing around with an anxious look.

He is looking around while holding a briefcase in one hand and constantly checking the time with the watch on his wrist.

He can’t stand still and moves his feet to avoid the puddles everywhere.

An intelligent-looking young man who was watching from the side sighed and shook his head.

“It is not for us to decide whether this promise comes true or not. “You’d better calm down a little.”

“You could say that at Baritz. “They’re not even a party to this incident.”

“….”

At the man’s sharp retort, the young man closed his mouth and shrugged his shoulders.

As if feeling more anxious about the young man’s reaction, the pacing man began to walk faster.

“I didn’t mean to leave the work to a necromancer. “At most, what I told him when I met him was about the meeting…!!”

“Coroner Mares is desperately lacking in communication skills in that regard. “When working with the head office, we had many problems due to his personality.”

“If you’re moving a dead body, you don’t know that you’re scared of people and you’re making fun of your mouth. “The guys hiding behind the stage are all obvious.”

The man muttered, tapping his foot vigorously with a grim expression.

“Fast fastness is insane. Even if the same information is delivered, how it is received is completely different depending on the method. Even though I indirectly asked him if he wanted to attend and prepared the place, I entrusted the job to someone who doesn’t have anything like that…” ”

You’re talking as if you know that wizard well.”

“It has been several years since the Central Council observed the existence of lightning. “Do you think they haven’t prepared a reaction manual to deal with a level 8 archmage?”

The man turned his head in annoyance at the young man’s strange question.

“He is a madman who knows how to communicate normally, but inside he thinks completely differently. Rather than just delivering a message and calling it a day, it’s best to meet them face-to-face and see their reaction. There’s no way the higher-ups wouldn’t know that…”

“Well, I understand. “Wasn’t it probably right after the Bylan Institute incident ended when Coroner Mares delivered his message?”

A young man with a bitter smile said.

“It would be even more strange if a magician with a lightning-quick personality was tolerating the affairs of the laboratory. “Who could speak rashly to such an enraged monster?”

“That’s why we’re taking care of that.”

The man spoke in a sharp voice.

I’m talking to calm my mind, but it feels like the more I talk, the more nervous I become.

That’s probably because the person they need to meet from now on is a magic master who can tell the truth with a single wave of his hand.

In this living area where tens of millions of people live in the Balkan, a megacity with a developed civilization, he is a superman who has overcome the limitations of his species solely through his own power.

However, there are not many people who realize its status and true value even though they have not reached that level.

How dangerous and powerful a monster it is to be an extremely powerful person who transcends hierarchy. Is it a weapon that can bring about a disaster reminiscent of a wartime situation just by its movements?

“Clearness is seeing things that are invisible to others when talking to them.”

The man spoke quietly.

“It’s not that we have no standards or are capricious and move as we please. There is clearly a consistent standard within him, and it is just a concept that cannot be understood by lower-world magic users like us.”

“Hmm, that’s similar…”

The young man thought for a moment and muttered.

“That sounds like something people who returned from meeting the Ascended would say.”

“It’s the opposite.”

The man chuckled.

“Only monsters who go crazy like that and go to the end become ascendants.”

“….”

“That wizard is the superhuman most likely to advance to the next level in the entire continent.”

The man muttered in a grim tone, biting his nails with an expression of infinite anxiety.

“If by any chance a problem arises due to a misunderstanding about this call, I will not let it go….” “Please rest assured

that I came from the headquarters planning office to prepare for such a situation.”

The young man responded by taking out his cell phone and refreshing the company messenger.

“At Baritz, we have an optimal system in place to prepare for any unpleasant situations that may arise.”

“…It’s a system.”

The man’s eyes narrowed strangely as he turned around.

“Now that I think about it, there was a saying that the descendant lineage of the Baritz company inherits foresight ability from generation to generation.”

“….”

“Is helping me here and now part of that precognitive ability?”

“I am just an employee of the planning office at the headquarters and have no connection with the CEO team.”

The young man said with a mechanical smile on his face.

“How the system works is something I can’t tell outsiders. “Please understand.”

“okay?”

The man’s expression turned crooked at the attitude of the official who did not even deny the existence of Yeji.

The young man spoke in a somewhat soothing tone, as if to appease such a man.

“You are too wary of us. “Hasn’t headquarters prepared various measures to support this summit?”

“….”

“The security cost, including the jamming and security unit emergency escape equipment and artifacts currently installed around this tunnel, was more than enough to cover an area.”

The young man laughed as he lifted the cell phone that was faintly vibrating in his hand.

“Even if all our plans go wrong, we will still be able to escape with just one of our bodies…”

The young man’s words stopped as he looked at his cell phone with a smiling expression.

“What is it? “Why do you stop talking?”

“…All security forces ready for battle.”

Slam!!

At that moment, dozens of simultaneous reloading sounds rang out from all sides of the tunnel where the two people were standing.

Dozens of thick wires came down and installed in between the tunnels, and a powerful glow of magical energy rang out from beneath our feet.

Paaaa!!

Hundreds of magic circles drawn overlapping on all sides of the rain-soaked tunnel operate simultaneously.

The inside of the tunnel began to be colored with bright light.

“Wow!!”

As the man struggled against the light that suddenly illuminated his eyes, the young man grabbed the man by the collar with a stiff expression.

“I’m going to get out of here right now. “Take out the artifact!!”

“Yes, is Yeji here?!!”

“This is the worst situation…!!!”

Despite the young man’s aggressive behavior, the man did not waste time getting angry or asking why.

Instead, he just took out an old pencil hidden at the end of his sleeve and inserted it into the center of the magic circle the young man was pointing at.

The moment the pencil with complex letters engraved on it was inserted into the magic circle, the magic circle surrounding the man’s body rotated and floated.

[Confirmation of one of Enakpil’s five fingers. Preparing to activate the forced space transfer amplification magic circle.]

Faaah!!

Next to the man, the young man also wrapped the same magic circle around his body and was preparing for space transfer.

No matter how dangerous and powerful a wizard is, once they succeed in escaping across space, it is not easy to track them down.

Administrative agency directly under the Central Council. It was a luxurious escape plan made possible because they were executives of an organization sponsored by Baritz Corporation.

The moment when the man and the young man canceled all their plans on the spot and immediately activated the magic circle to escape into space.

Click!

With a strange sound of gears, the magic circle surrounding their bodies creaked to a halt.

A soft shout rang in the ears of the two people with their eyes wide open.

[Is this an auxiliary magic circle that increases the performance of the artifact?]

“….!!!”

[It is a method of rewriting the result obtained immediately after the spell is activated. It must have been quite a cumbersome and inefficient task, but they miniaturized it with a magic circle of this size.]

It took less than two seconds to insert the artifact into the magic circle and wait for it to operate.

In that short period of time, they have already destroyed all their targets and found the two people and started talking to them.

The moment the two people, who had become stiff as if they had been struck by lightning, could barely move their necks.

[Process simplification for miniaturization is basic. But that makes it easier to analyze.]

At that moment, the auxiliary magic circle containing the old pencil began to slowly rotate in the reverse direction.

Let’s go…!!

As if a magic circle was disintegrating on its own, it disintegrated all kinds of hieroglyphs and designs and spat out the old pencil stuck in the center.

[End of inversion. Wait there.]

“What…”

[I’ll go there myself.]

Lightning struck.

The brilliance of a lightning bolt that turns your eyes white.

The acrid and terrible burnt smell that cannot be hidden even in this heavy rain.

A shadow standing tall at the end of a tens of meters tunnel, being hit by pouring rain.

Flash!!

The moment lightning struck again, the shadow disappeared at the end of the tunnel.

“no!! “Stop!!”

The young man, who came to his senses late, screamed.

“Don’t stop me. “It’s no use…!!”

A military response is virtually impossible. Resistance is meaningless when escape fails.

The young man alerted the guards and tried to shout to make them stop, but it was already too late.

Wow!!

Dozens of bodyguards, fully armed and hiding in all directions of the tunnel, descended with built-in firearms.

Pre-installed wires are pulled taut, blocking the path and densely occupying the space between the narrow tunnels.

The magic particle density-disrupting technique installed densely on the tunnel ceiling and walls is activated.

The moment when powerful jamming was applied to all sides of the dark and damp space to delay the activation of magic and other spells as much as possible.

Dismissal!!

A bright blue flame flashed between the shadows.

Blue flashes cross the ceiling and walls of the tunnel at a speed that exceeds the limits of perception.

Kagagagak!!!

Following the trace of the small flame, a trace of bright blue light moves between the cement walls and emits light.

It soared through all the legal formations, jamming checks and formations prepared in advance.

“….!!!”

A moment when I can’t even scream.

A small flash of lightning passes by dozens of superhumans who are slowly struggling as if time has stopped.

An illusion that seems to slow down the sense of time just by encountering the lightning that shines far beyond the sense of distance.

Immediately afterwards, a deafening roar erupted, shattering everything in the tunnel like toys.

Kwaaaaaaa!!!

“This…”

The moment when the man with a pale complexion was barely able to get up from the ground with his hands shaking.

“Anything you do for a grand cause is as bad as a bug.”

A soft voice came from behind me.

“Bran solid…!!”

A black-haired young man with a sharp expression was looking down at the two people, holding a silver cane.

A subtle expression that looks somewhat tired, but also extremely sensitive.

Even before the two people realized that it was the archmage’s own habit of expressing discomfort.

The bodies of a young man and a man were crumpled to the ground stained with rainwater.

Kwasik!!

“Wow… “Inhale!!”

A scream escaped from the pain of dislocating the shoulder and bending the elbow backwards.

However, both the man and the young man gritted their teeth and suppressed their loud outbursts.

‘I applied hundreds of layers of magic particle interference and jamming, and there was not a single mistake…!’

The only thing Lennok used to suppress this tunnel just now was a ray of lightning smaller than a fist.

I never lost control while using this space warfare magic circle on the distorted coordinates of this narrow tunnel with all kinds of magic particle interference and jamming.

The pinnacle of extremely delicate magic manipulation that feels more bizarre and eerie than just blindly pressing down with force.

Splat!!

“I feel really bad right now.”

Lennok said as he walked slowly between the two people with their heads in the rain.

“So if you have something to say, you better say it before I accidentally blow your head off.”

“….”

Lennok’s bright blue eyes flashed through his black hair.

“You’re not planning on bringing up the meeting and then making a fuss about me just wanting to see your face, right?”

“Is that possible…?”

The man took out the soaked business card from his arms with trembling hands.

Even though he was being pressed down by the magic power that Lenno released without thinking, he lifted his broken arm and managed to place the business card on the bedside table.

“Central Council Level 1 Administrator Strus Eshmel…!! “It is an honor to meet you, the Archmage.”

“….”

Now I understand why the staff at Baritz’s planning office immediately tried to run away with him.

This was not the time to simply worry about the discomfort of fast food.

The worst situation was that they had unluckily called upon this wizard at a time when he was much more uncomfortable than they had expected.

“Originally, I had no intention of calling you for personal matters before the meeting, but I’m sorry-”

Ugh!!

All five fingers on the man’s right hand were bent in opposite directions and broken.

“Sorry?”

Ignoring the man who gritted his teeth and endured the pain, Lennok looked back at the fallen guards around him and asked.

“Is that all you have to say after preparing for such mediocre hospitality?”

“…!!!”

“Just ask me one more time. “Get to the point.”

said Lennok, who stepped on the man’s neck.

“Why did you call me?”

“The meeting is about to be canceled due to a distinguished guest coming to the Balkans…!!”

With a pale complexion, the man gasped and spat out words.

“Due to the presence of the distinguished guest, there is a high possibility that most of the agenda items to be discussed at the meeting will be canceled. “I have something to say about dealing with that…!!”

“I was thinking of asking you to stop that VIP.”

Lennok interrupted and answered.

“Did you call me because you wanted to physically subdue or incapacitate me, if not kill me?”

“….”

Lennok chuckled as he looked at the silent man.

“That’s it. There’s no need to hear any more.”

Puzzle!!

A blue light flashed overhead, and a noise that seemed to twist the air rang out.

The moment when the man and the young man gave up everything and closed their eyes tightly.

As if it were a lie, Lennok’s steps stopped.

“….”

Lennok is silent, as if he is thinking deeply about something.

There was a breathtaking silence in the rain-pouring tunnel.

At that moment, everyone who had collapsed and fainted was unable to breathe properly and was listening to Lennok’s answer.

“Did you say you were a distinguished guest coming to the Balkans?”

“…yes.”

“name is?”

Why are they suddenly asking for the name of the honored guest?

The man also closed his eyes tightly and answered, even though he knew it might be meaningless now.

“I am Lapis Falseer, the lighthouse keeper who leads the Blue Eye…”
