Drug-Eating Genius Mage

The Genius Wizard Who Takes Medicine Episode 962

Geumje (17)

Anathema’s home buried under the underground water pipe in Area 55.

The appearance of a huge shrine buried in the basement of the house and the golden weapon stored in the center.

Lennoc, who encountered Ermont at the entrance to the temple, which had complicated paths like a maze, smiled and raised his hand.

“It looks like you couldn’t come to your senses even after doing such a stupid thing in front of people.”

[Bing Bak Gwe (氷迫櫃)]

Twaa!!

A ring of solid ice grabs Ermont’s arms and legs, freezing them.

Lennok crossed his arms, looking down at Ermont, who was instantly trapped in the ice chest.

“Are you still pretending to be Zaun Odis? “I guess you quite liked that body?”

“Do you know someone?”

“An ancient warlock.”

Lennok answered Felix’s question as he approached him.

“A ghost that steals human bodies and lives as a parasite, and now belongs to Pandemonium.”

“pandemonium? “This idiot is a member of Pandemonium?”

Feisha frowned in displeasure and glared at Ermont.

“I met him once before because of King Myeong’s business, but things got messy that time and I couldn’t kill him.”

Lennoc, who was staring at Ermont with a cold gaze, laughed.

“Seeing you appear in front of me again, I feel like I’m slowly losing my attachment to life.”

“Haha haha….”

At Lennok’s cold words, Ermont smiled awkwardly and averted his gaze.

“That’s it. “There is a story.”

“Why should you die by my hands?”

“No no no!!! “Please think about it.”

In response to Lennoc’s indifferent response, Ermont desperately uttered an impassioned speech.

“I don’t know about the Archmage who is unaffected by the flow of time, but for me, it’s been a very long time since I’ve been back to this city.”

“….”

“Despite Pandemonium’s inhumane forced labor, don’t you think I need to be praised for trying to avoid going to the Balkans?”

“What kind of bullshit is this crazy bastard talking about now?”

Feisha asked back as if it were absurd, but Lennoc was feeling the passage of time through Ermont’s words.

It was not long after returning from the Machine City that I met Baegon and Ermont, who were self-proclaimed disciples.

Considering what Lennok went through during that time, it would not be a lie to say that it has been a long time since Ermont visited the Balkans.

Rather, from his point of view, it may be unfair that he ran into Lennok as soon as he returned to the Balkans.

“No, and why is the Archmage so diligent? “Is there no such thing as the Sabbath there?”

Ermont, who sensed like a ghost that Lennok’s reaction was not that sharp, immediately started muttering.

“If you become a top owner, shouldn’t you go to lectures at academic conferences, put some gold on your face, waste time doing personal research, and take a decent amount of money from your students?”

“I understand very well what you have always thought of other wizards.”

“half.”

Felix said with a shocked expression.

“I think this guy has already forgotten what he just tried to do to us.”

“You’re just pretending to forget.”

“…You seem like a fraudster with a knack for sophistry.”

“It’s an accurate assessment.”

Slam!

Felix raised the hammer.

“I’m going to smash your head.”

“Wow!! Save people!! Help me!!”

Felix approached Ermont, who was struggling and begging for his life, holding a hammer.

A servile figure with his body bound by a ring of ice, rubbing his hands and feet with tears in his eyes.

But Lennok knew that Ermont’s apparent reaction could not fully explain his existence.

“Not even a day has passed since Anathema’s death was officially announced.”

Lennok said as he looked at Ermont, who was struggling with his arms crossed behind Felix.

“The fact that you are here at least means that you obtained information about the mansion immediately after the meeting ended and made your move.”

“….”

At that moment, Ermont’s movements, which had been struggling, suddenly stopped.

Lennok saw this and asked with a smile.

“Where are the other guys and what are they doing?”

“…Haha.”

Ermont tilted his head back and muttered quietly.

“As expected, the acting was very poor, wasn’t it?”

Kwaang!!!

At that moment, the ice chains that were binding Ermont exploded and light flashed.

A flash of light so strong that Felix, who was swinging the hammer, had to block the shock wave instead.

Behind the group of lights, Ermont stood up with a normal complexion.

“I’m sorry. “I don’t remember shedding tears since I took over this body.”

“….”

“After borrowing the body of a friend who had no blood or tears to begin with, I wonder if even my tear ducts have dried up.”

Ermont turned around, adjusting his collar, and narrowed his eyes at Lennoc.

“I will take Anathema’s treasure. Wouldn’t it be a more useful item for needy criminals like us than for an archmage who grew up with nothing?”

“It’s not you who decides that.”

Lennok raised his hand.

“Once I catch and kill you, I have to check the faces of those moving with you.”

[Consonant chanting]

[Sweet thunder]

There is not even an omen.

A thunderbolt rotated silently under the shadow of Lennok’s raised hand and ejected at supersonic speed.

It pierced between Ermont’s eyes at an invisible speed.

Kwaaaa!!

The lightning of the lightning that pierced Ermont’s body toppled the temple wall made of gravity stones like dominoes.

In an instant, one side of the wall was hollow, and a tingling thunderstorm hovered over the ruins.

Pajik Pajijik…!!!

A sign of lightning that struck the spot only after all acts of destruction had ended.

“Crazy…”

The chanting speed is so unrealistic that even Feisha, who was watching, felt scared for a moment.

The power of the specialized spell, which maximizes penetrating power by twisting the fragments of the thunderbolt, is such that it is impossible to defend from the front in the first place.

However, Lennoc’s expression did not change even after he exploded Ermont’s head with a single gesture.

“Puhaha!! “I lived.”

Sure enough, Ermont’s body hardened and broke apart, and a new Ermont rolled over and appeared.

Ermont, who was lying flat on the floor like a frog and looking servilely at Lennoc, grinned.

“Well, I guess you understand. “You cannot kill me in this temple.”

“It’s a gem technique.”

The gemstone technique used by Ermont is the power of Jaun Odis, the owner of the body.

It is a very useful technique that varies abilities and systems depending on the gem used in proportion to the difficult condition of using expensive gems as consumables and discarding them.

Ermont also knows this, so he didn’t bother to throw away Zaun Odis’ body and is still using it.

“Are you using a magic trick using the temple’s gravity stone?”

“Because the purity of the gravity stones that Anathema has collected in the temple is very high. “Inside this temple, it doesn’t matter if you use magic without wasting mana.”

As long as there are enough gems as catalysts, the consumption of magical power used in gem magic is virtually negligible.

If this entire temple can be used as an ingredient for a magic trick, it is no wonder that Ermont shows confidence in front of Lennoc.

“Even though the original owner of this body has a lot of karma, there is a reason why it cannot be thrown away.”

Ermont grumbled as if he had been waiting.

“It’s not good value for money. It’s good value for money. If you’re going to change your body, shouldn’t there at least be no performance downgrade? Surprisingly, it is rare to find friends who satisfy that kind of riding experience.”

“You’re talking like you’re switching cars.”

“Now come.”

Ermont declared, extending one hand and clawing at Lennoc.

“How long do you think you can deal with me, who keeps coming back to life like a leech?”

“….”

Although he says it with confidence, the content of the declaration is very simple.

Even under the blessed circumstances of unlimited use of gem magic, there is no nonsense about being able to win against Lennok.

A very wise decision by Ermont, who understands his subject very well.

“What a fun guy. “You say things so humiliatingly and shamelessly.”

Feisha muttered with a curious expression and held the spear.

“I heard that Pandemonium is full of crazy people, but it’s amazing to see this in person.”

“The other class is taking their time on purpose.”

Felix nodded with deep eyes.

“I will deal with that person, so you retrieve the golden weapon as soon as possible.”

Even to those who don’t know anything about Ermont, it is clear that he is trying to trap Lennoc by talking nonsense.

That may be because Ermont did not enter this temple alone, but has other colleagues, and they are working on Ermont’s behalf to steal Anathema’s legacy.

In that case, wouldn’t it be reasonable for Felix and Feisha to take charge of Ermont and for Lennoc to retrieve the taboo weapon?

“If there had been any significant result in stealing Anathema’s Noble Phantasm, that person would never have come near me in the first place.”

But even after hearing Felix’s words, Lennok smiled and shook his head.

“I guess the reason they show up first, draw attention, and provoke me is so that I can head to the temple first.”

“…What do you mean?”

“The resistance of the temple that stores the forbidden weapons is stronger than I thought, so I have to lend my hand…”

Lennok muttered, taking a step forward and stretching his arms to the sides.

“I wasn’t aiming for the Geumgi weapon in the first place.”

Grumbling!!

Stretch one arm out to the side and chant two magic spells of different properties at the same time.

The moment when a cold flame, created by combining fireworks and ice wheels, exploded from Lennok’s fingertips.

Flames flashing with blue light melted the gravity stones everywhere and began to collapse the walls and ceiling.

Creation Class Unique Magic: Alchemy Application

Double Convergence

[Changing Flame]

Quaaaaa!!!!

As the gravity stone of the temple melted following the cold flames set off by Lennok, Ermont’s complexion changed completely.

“Now wait a minute!!!”

“If you are saving your life with a spell using gravity stones, just melt all the gravity stones around you.”

Lennok smiled and stretched out his hand toward Ermont.

“Would you like to check how many more hidden cards are left?”

“Aaaah!! sorry! “There is no such thing!!”

The moment Ermont let out an ugly scream and rolled over.

Damn it!!

A path of cold ice was laid on the floor, and someone grabbed Ermont by the collar and slipped down at great speed.

Good profit!!!

The other person, who narrowly avoided the blue flames sweeping through the hallway, raised his gaze.

“Soryu!!”

Ermont called his name and babbled as if he had been waiting for him.

“Holy shit it’s late!! “I almost died.”

“You’re busy talking loudly all day.”

Soryu stood up and looked down at Ermont with a cold gaze and responded.

“Are you not even able to do the simple task of being on guard around the outskirts of the temple?”

“A simple thing? Does this seem simple to you now? “A once-in-a-lifetime event is happening here!!”

Ermont shouted loudly while lying on the floor.

“Then you can deal with that wizard or do it yourself.”

“…okay. So, I came out myself.”

Soryu’s cold eyes turned to Lennok, who was standing in the distance.

“Don’t overuse alcohol. “If we were to read this man’s abilities in front of him, we might all die right here.”

“It seems like the bottom has already been scraped away and the bottom line has been revealed.”

Soryu walked slowly, ignoring Ermont’s shouts.

Damn…!!

The entire body is covered in pure white frost as the cold air blows away.

Feisha draped her spear over her shoulder at the strange appearance of a sharp snowstorm coming to life.

A member of Pandemonium and a member of the royal family of Kabahim. Possessor of the ice-bound innate ability.

Lennok laughed as he looked at Soryu who walked in front of him with an expressionless face.

“For a thief who entered a safe, you have a very confident attitude.”

“Don’t make a deal.”

Soryu said, looking at Lennok with cold eyes.

“I have something to tell you about this matter.”

“It’s a deal.”

Lennok tilted his head slightly to the side.

“I don’t think that’s what should come out of your mouth right now.”

“Currently, the space and time of this temple is unstable and distorted, and the effects of magic and thoughts are suppressed.”

Soryu said without heeding anything.

“It’s because the magical powers of the Forbidden Soldier, who lost their master after Anathema’s death, are running wild.”

“Runaway?”

“Fully automatic activation of a manipulation technique that does not use the medium of a magician. “With that alone, the surrounding space is randomly repeating transitions and collapses.”

Soryu’s gaze turned cold as he glanced at the gauntlet stored in the center of the temple.

“According to what the doctor said, that is a taboo weapon made using the ascendant’s blood relatives as material.”

“….”

“It may not be the Ascendant himself, but it is a forbidden weapon made by grinding a skill and vessel that is comparable to him. “In this situation, it is difficult to even move around the temple normally.”

They are the blood relatives of the ascendant.

Soryu didn’t say anything more, but Lennok seemed to know who the ascendant was referring to.

While Lennok was lost in thought for a moment at the unexpected information, Soryu spread his hands as if waiting.

“Now that Anathema herself has died, two items are needed to suppress the transference and collapse of space and access the forbidden weapon.”

Pot!

A grumpy poisonous toad and a ring scattering cold energy appeared on both of Soryu’s hands.

“A fetish [Curse Maw] that eats up resentment and curses and spits them out with magical power. [Ice Craftsman], a relic with the highest level of mystery in the ice world.”

Soryu said, holding up the poisonous toad and the ring.

“Both are powerful artifacts, but the important one is the ice craftsman. “It has the ability to engrave the user’s name into frozen soil and grant ‘Blessing of the Snow White.’”

“….”

“If you use the Ice Man to suppress the random space transference within the temple and feed the magician to the Curse Maw, you will be able to obtain the Taboo Armor.”

“That’s a long explanation.”

Lennok asked.

“So what do you want to say?”

“I’ll use these two items to help you retrieve the taboo weapon.”

Soryu said with an expressionless face.

“Instead, I hope you send us away safely from this incident.”

“….”

“I didn’t expect that ownership of Anathema’s legacy would have been transferred to you as soon as the meeting was over. “I was planning on taking the items out before ownership was determined, but for such a cautious Slaine, the decision was incredibly quick.”

“Now you want to ask permission to step out?”

“I have no intention of fighting you. “Couldn’t we just move on to cooperating in the recovery of the taboo weapon?”

“Hey, ice guy. Do you really want to go after it?”

Kwaang!!

Feisha hit the spear pole nervously and glared at Soryu.

“Why are the thieves who have been crawling into someone else’s safe a while ago spreading themselves out like this?”

“….”

“I don’t know where on earth you learned how to beg for your life and why you’re so stiff like that. “Can you be a royal or something?”

“Oh oh.”

Ermont exclaimed in amazement.

“How did you know-”

Wow!!

Soryu suddenly threw ice into Ermont’s face due to a slip of tongue that could not be determined by time or place.

Soryu left behind Ermont, who was covered in frost shards and crumpled, and turned his gaze towards Lennok.

“I have been observing the pattern of the barrier and space-time collapse within the temple a day ago. “It can help.”

“….”

“If you want, I swear to Geass right here.”

“Right.”

Lennok tilted his head and smiled.

Surely, things might become easier if a superhuman with a sharp mind like Soryu helps conquer the temple.

If you fight here and risk the collapse of the temple, if you make a mistake, you may not be able to retrieve the taboo weapon intact.

Lennok slowly walked in front of Soryu and spoke.

“There is no need for Geass. “I’m going to ask you just one question, so answer it.”

“what?”

“The Cursemaw and the Iceman you mentioned.”

Lennok asked, looking at the artifacts placed on either side of Soryu.

“Is that not yours originally, but an artifact obtained from this temple?”

“….”

At that moment, Soryu, who had maintained his composure throughout, fell silent.

He continued to answer without hesitation, as if he had been anticipating Lennok’s reaction, but for the first time he seemed to be speechless.

Ermont’s expression, who was chewing a mouth full of ice, also changed strangely at that moment.

Felix, who realized that the other person’s reaction was unusual, raised the hammer and asked.

“What does that mean? “Those artifacts were originally from this temple?”

“I don’t think an organization like Pandemonium would be satisfied with no income while moving.”

Lennok said, looking at Soryu’s fingertips.

“I thought that by the time they proposed this deal to me, they were already planning to get a meaningful harvest and then withdraw.”

“….”

“The reason he explained the method by openly showing the Cursemaw and the Ice Man was probably because he wanted to make it seem like he owned those items from the beginning….”

Broken!

Electricity flashed along Lennok’s shoulder as he slowly relaxed his neck.

“If you had the means to retrieve the taboo weapon from the beginning, you wouldn’t be working on this all day. “It seems I got the answer right.”

Cursemaw and Ice Man. Both of those artifacts were sealed within Anathema’s temple from the beginning.

Soryu and Ermont had not been working for several days to obtain the forbidden weapon at Anathema’s temple.

In the first place, they had already obtained the artifact they wanted and were moving to take additional taboo weapons.

“…The ice seal was originally a national treasure used by Kabahim’s predecessor as the dynasty’s seal.”

Soryu said quietly.

“If you ask me, the legitimacy belongs to me, not to you who killed Anathema. The question of ownership itself is meaningless-”

“That’s not something a prince who was exiled after losing in the battle for succession would say.”

“….”

This time, Soryu’s expression lost its composure and showed a faint crack.

“That’s probably not information that can be found through Ermont’s slip of the tongue.”

“Did you hope that no one would know your identity while working as a member of Pandemonium?”

Lennok looked at that and smiled.

“It’s not a position to talk about legitimacy while openly using the Kabahim Dynasty’s blood power.”

“….”

“The tact of hiding the truth and making up deals on the spot in order to survive in this situation is admirable, but-”

Lennok’s eyes flashed blue as he met Soryu’s gaze.

“I don’t think that’s a reason to keep you alive.”

Freezing type unique magic

[Ice White Ju (氷白柱)]

[Honghwa (合華)]

The horn of ice that rose up from under his feet instantly plunged into Soryu’s body.

Kwaaaaaaa!!!

“No way!!”

An eerie horn of ice that proves that the deal Soryu proposed was completely ruined.

Ermont, who was screaming belatedly, cleared his throat when he saw Feisha looking at him intently.

“Well, it was an insidious plan, like something an exiled prince would concoct. I was completely fooled.”

“….”

“It’s a little late, but can the poor warlock who didn’t receive anything from this incident go home?”

“….”

“….”

A quiet silence flows between the two people.

Ermont jumped up and ran away, and Feisha raised her spear.

“Stand there you idiot!!”
