Chapter 902
The Medicine-Taking Genius Wizard Chapter 902:
The Eye that Sees Destiny (38)
In the middle of a ruined city where the thought-form of the manual disappears and disappears.
A solid metal barrier rises above the hill where the remains of high-rise buildings have melted away, blocking the view.
A thin man stands at the top of the barrier with his back facing and looks down at Lennok.
Lennok opened his mouth as he looked at the monster with a floating metal sphere in place of his head.
“You were the owner of that unpleasant piece of scrap metal.”
[I’m late to say hello. It’s called Olynik of the Horse God Palace.]
Instead of lowering his head, Olynik quickly rotated the metal sphere.
Charrrrrrr!!
Each time the sphere rotated, the metal barrier thickened in real time and increased in size.
A blatant look that seems to be trying to block the gap between Lennok and Evan and create distance between them.
Olynyk slyly opened his mouth again.
[First of all, I would like to congratulate you on your magnificent victory in this fight. It was a very impressive final battle.]
“….”
[I am very interested in the new horizon of magic that you and Cheonbun gave us all a glimpse of. If it’s okay, just for a moment-]
“It’s a long Gongchi story.”
Lennok asked, immediately interrupting Olynyk.
“What does it mean to certify these results with the authority of the city government?”
[Hmm, as you know, a lot of people are watching this fight. There are probably countless eyes in the city government and the central council as well as outside the city that are not aware of it.]
“….”
[It is said that there were many variables, but you clearly won against a thousand times. From this moment on, that fact will never change.]
Olynyk said and clasped his hands together.
[However, there is no reason to show the next thing to the luxury people, is there? Our Horse God Palace will cooperate so that you can fully enjoy the value of victory.]
“You make a good excuse.”
Lennok sneered.
“Didn’t you try to prevent me from returning to the Magic Tower a few hours ago?”
[It’s true that I bet a thousand times, but I’m not so stupid that I can’t accept the decided result.]
Olynyk let out a strange laugh as if he didn’t care.
[It is only because there are differences in mutual priorities that a possible arbitration solution exists. Don’t you know that too?]
“….”
Olynyk’s persuasion as if he were calmly stating his opinion without any hesitation.
It emphasizes that fastness won a thousand battles with fastness and suggests that reasonable arbitration is possible.
In exchange for helping with the process, Olynyk was attempting to save Evan Martinez’s life.
Regardless of the outcome of the fight, I think it’s because I think I saw in Cheonbeon a potential comparable to Fast Lightning.
As Lennok, who knows everything about the situation, he understands where Olynyk’s judgment was based.
But-
“It’s already been a while since the ban was lifted.”
Lennok said slowly, tilting his head to the side.
“There is no reason to lend a helping hand to old monsters who have finally crawled out. Move.”
The leaders of the Yangji region, including Gisu Shrine, cannot be trusted and there is no reason to entrust mediation to them.
Now that the fight is over in an acceptable manner, all that’s left is to take Lapis and finish the job.
In the process, third party intervention only becomes a useless hindrance.
Olynyk smiled and raised his hand.
[If that’s the case, then there’s nothing we can do about it.]
Considering the safety of the incarnation, it’s probably impossible to avoid a collision here.
After making his decision, Lennok stretched out his hand into the sky where the reverberation of the lightning bolt remained and was about to shatter the metal barrier in one fell swoop.
Clap la la rock!!!
The metal barrier blocking Lennok’s path split to the side, clearing the way.
“….”
[I think I’m misunderstanding, but it doesn’t mean I have to take on the role of mediator while fighting with you.]
As Lennok raised his gaze at the unexpected reaction, Olynik shrugged his shoulders.
[If you think about the scheduled schedule, including the summit, you shouldn’t start freaking out already. I’ll be satisfied with a brief greeting today.]
A meeting between level 8 super-talented people that Lennok was also hinted at.
Are they saying that the outcome of this battle may have an impact on the scheduled meeting?
He said that he manipulated and destroyed tens of meters of metal barrier with a single wave of his hand.
[If you want to fully preserve the value of victory, you will have to hurry. In any case, you won the battle watched by the entire metropolitan city.]
Olynik laughed.
[In the process, everyone saw that you did not even care about fighting to the death with a magician of the same level, and that you were a person who could use your hands at any time if you messed up.] “….” [It is clear that the rumors about your twisted nature and mania are not
exaggerated
. Since you proved it in such a spectacular way, isn’t it natural that the post-processing becomes a hassle?]
“You’re saying something interesting.”
Lennok crossed his arms and laughed at Olynyk’s words.
“Do you even want to worry about when I will go completely crazy?”
[well. That’s something you don’t know. You may even be using your madness for your own benefit in the end…]
Olynik scratched his metal sphere with a strange expression.
[At least we try to never rule out that possibility. In the long history of the continent, there were actually people who could do that.]
“….”
[Those who even had their own twists acknowledged by heaven. Transcendent people who have acquired the qualifications to move on to the next stage of non-existence.]
Olynyk’s golden days seemed to turn bitter for a moment as he placed his hand on his waist.
Without waiting for Lennok’s answer, Olynyk slowly took his steps back.
[I don’t know if you understand, but that’s exactly why I stood on the other side of you in this matter.]
Char!!
At that moment, Olynik’s body collapsed into metal powder on the spot.
A strange consistency, with not even a series of omens when leaving, as when appearing without any sign.
Is that the power of Olynic, the head of the Horse-Body Shrine, who controls the bias of metal?
It is unclear whether it is manipulated by imparting magnetism to an actual metal, or whether only magnets can be manipulated.
It was clear that it was a force so foreign that even Lennoc could not guess its nature by looking at it.
Considering that he boldly appeared in front of Lightning even after placing a bet on Evan in this fight, he is probably not a great man to be trifled with.
The giants of the sun who accepted the prohibition law and lived in seclusion.
There is no doubt that the old barbarians, who only began to move after Yorta and Machina were overthrown, possess more insidious and grotesque potential than expected.
Thinking so, Lennok walked towards the fallen incarnation in the distance.
‘What should I do…’
The incarnation’s operational ability was regained immediately after coming into view.
Nevertheless, the reason the incarnation was not immediately recovered was because, as Olynyk said, the people watching this battlefield had to be taken into consideration.
As this is a battle that was watched throughout the city, it should end in an understandable manner for the safety of Lightning and Evan.
Buaaaa!!
At that moment, the sound of more than a dozen vehicles rushing towards the ruins was heard from afar.
The friction sound of tires being worn roughly. The sound of an engine making an annoying roar.
Dozens of airships appear, casting dazzling lights on the ground and forming an intangible shield over the sky.
Good!!
Dozens of tanks stopped on the outskirts of the battlefield and artillery batteries moving backwards along the lines.
They bring in troops, occupy the area, and settle in neatly as if forming a battle line.
The moment I realized that it was not a move to surround this battlefield, but on the contrary, a measure to protect these ruins from the outside world.
Jump up!
The door of the airship that landed on the ground opened and an old man with a familiar face walked out, holding a cane.
“It may be somewhat inconvenient, but please understand.”
“…Senator Mayer.”
“Currently, an unidentified armed organization is approaching from the outskirts of the city at incredible speed.”
Mayer said, glancing at Evan’s collapsed form across from Lennok.
“In all likelihood, they are trying to target you. “The identity verification will be completed in a moment, so please be patient.”
“….”
Instead of answering those words, Lennok stared silently at the shield spread out in the sky.
The flow and pattern of magic or magic that conceals presence and gaze and prevents the exchange of information is quite heterogeneous.
At least a type of magical manipulation not commonly seen near cities.
“That shield. That’s not the National Guard’s way. “Did you outsource it?”
“Hmm, I was planning to explain, but it looks like you already figured it out.”
Mayer cleared his throat and nodded.
“The Central Council invited magic towers from all over the continent to seek advice. “It was inevitable because many people showed interest in this issue.”
“It looks like some useful commentators were needed.”
“That means what you did this time was shocking.”
Mayer, who was looking at the fallen Evan, muttered in a voice that could not hide his admiration.
“He was a monster who went on a rampage destroying the city alone while being chased by a wanted order from the city government. The battle record was truly spectacular…”
“….”
From the perspective of Mayer, who is entirely on the side of Balkan, it would not be strange to think of Evan that way.
Regardless of being a watcher belonging to the Blue Eyes, it was obvious how Evan’s actions would be viewed by the outside world after Lapis was kidnapped.
Mayer, who was watching Lennok’s expression, naturally changed the topic.
This may be because he noticed that Lennok was excited or not reacting sensitively to stimulation even though he had just finished the fight.
“I plan to personally investigate the unidentified monster that invaded during the battle later. “I will share the information with you right away.”
“All right.”
Mayer, who glanced at Lennok’s calm answer, naturally got to the point.
“Then Evan Martinez’s life is also…”
“I can let you investigate for a moment, but I will decide his life or death myself.”
Lennok said, looking back with a cold gaze.
“I don’t want any unnecessary interruption.”
“I understand. “Let’s do that.”
Mayer nodded without saying anything.
“However, I will take charge of the repairs and reconstruction of the facilities around the fortress. “The quarantine zone of the Hexagonal Fortress is something that needs to be paid attention to, even for the sake of material distribution.”
“In the process, do you mean to obtain data about what happened here?”
“From your perspective, you must have gained a lot. Enlightenment and fame that can be gained in the process of fighting and winning against a magician of the same level. “Changes in status are by no means something that can be treated vainly.”
Mayer smiled bitterly at what Lennok said with a chuckle.
“I just want you to know that the city council’s position is that it cannot do that. “At the very least, we need proof that Congress was involved in ending this battle.”
“….”
“It’s for the sake of the citizens who will be anxious due to this incident.”
Does this mean that there is a need to secure at least a minimum of data on the fight that took place here, at a time when we can no longer be involved in Evan’s life or death?
“It’s not something I can answer for.”
“Thank you for understanding.”
When Mayer gestured, dozens of people appeared from among the armored vehicles surrounding them on all sides.
Investigator, coroner, researcher and city council member. Wizard of the Magic Tower.
Experts in each field called in under the authority of the Central Council began to carefully record the traces of the battlefield.
In the process, most of them stiffened their bodies and broke into cold sweat because they were unable to notice Lennok.
As I am digging up traces of the person who turned this entire city into ruins, it is no wonder that my stomach feels cold.
However, as Lennok just watched without reacting for a while, other people’s behavior also changed more naturally.
Eventually, soldiers wearing power suits slowly approached Evan, who had fallen in the center of the explosion.
“….”
Lennok raised his gaze without saying a word.
It’s not just a glance, but a grin as if faced with an unexpected situation.
Just as Mayer, who had been watching Lennok, immediately noticed what had happened and turned his head.
[Move away.]
A sharp female voice echoed from beneath the cracked ground.
Bushes and trees exploded between the collapsed cracks, throwing away all the people standing around.
Kwaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!
“Wow!!”
Soldiers wearing power suits fly in all directions like toys and land among the piles of ruins.
At the same time, the shielding technique spread across the sky shattered like glass, scattering a loud noise.
Deeudeeudeeudeuk!!
Overgrown roots burst through the ground and spread across the battlefield.
It grows rapidly over the roots like a thicket of bushes, covering them with new branches and roots.
In an instant, over hundreds of people were stranded on the spot by bushes and tree roots growing over their feet.
The magicians, who belatedly realized the power of this spell, shouted in astonishment.
“Is it a main spell…!!”
“That’s a ridiculous amount of work. “How on earth do humans…!!”
Kwaaaa!!!
A huge tree grew in the blink of an eye, spreading out its thick branches and casting wide shade on the ground.
A giant tree the size of a high-rise building stands tall in the middle of a ruined city and catches the eye.
A woman of mysterious age with bronze skin was standing on the edge of a branch of that giant tree.
I brushed away his loose gray hair and lifted Evan’s body up with one hand.
“…It’s too late.”
As she stared at Evan’s fallen face, she silently turned her gaze towards the ground.
“The fight is over. Evan was defeated.”
The shaman’s intense gaze, burning like fire, glared at Lennok’s face.
“And you… are you the crazy wizard who kidnapped Lapis?”
“….”
Boom!!
At the same time, several superhumans appeared among the collapsed steel and concrete debris and began to look down on the battlefield.
A young man with a stern look holding a spear. A muscular female fighter wearing heavy gauntlets on both arms.
A dog-headed prisoner who is constantly reciting prayers with his eyes closed.
A scarred man with his back turned and his head tilted in frustration.
An army of watchers riding on the roots of giant trees instantly appears in the center of the battlefield and joins the ranks.
Coo coo coo!!
All of them are physically capable of dispersing ferocious life and magical energy.
A force capable of deploying this much power on a single battlefield, and the only organization capable of taking such drastic measures at this time.
Mayer, who immediately realized the identity of the other person, muttered with a stern expression.
“Right. In the end, in the Dominion….”
An unidentified armed organization approached from outside the city.
The identity of those who ignored the magnetic storm and entered the outskirts of the Balkans at incredible speed was the main unit of the Blue Eyes, which had returned from the central front.
* * *
A huge tree rising in the middle of the city outside the fortress.
The shaman who appeared to retrieve Evan’s body and the watchers who appeared everywhere, led by her.
Most of them are magic users who have built up a hierarchy and warriors who have perfected themselves through countless battles.
The moment when other people cannot easily adapt to the sharp life they exude and start to shrink.
Mayer looked at the figure and thought quickly.
‘The situation has become difficult. Have we already entered the outskirts of the city?’
Currently, the forces surrounding the undeveloped area where the Hexagonal Fortress is located are the National Guard and the city council maintenance force.
However, most of its core forces are not currently in this battlefield, but surrounding the outskirts of the undeveloped area.
In order not to displease the class, they deliberately tried to keep the powerful superhumans far away from the outskirts of the city and face them.
Who would have thought that the Blue Eyes main force would completely ignore the cordon prepared by the city council and appear proudly at the center of the battlefield.
‘I heard that there is a very powerful shaman among the high-ranking observers, but the scope and scale of the magic is beyond imagination.’
Although I thought that if he was able to enter the Central Front and establish his own position, the power of his followers would also be formidable.
The idea and means go far beyond the scope of Mayer’s common sense.
The very fact that they ignored the cordon and erected a large tree in the middle of the battlefield meant that they were maintaining it using magic from thousands of meters away.
To be more precise, this means that the shaman’s magic range covers the entire area.
“….”
The shape of the shaman staring at the lightning with burning eyes while supporting Evan with one arm.
In the meantime, Goryeong just folded his arms and received the gaze as if he was quite interested.
After quickly exchanging glances with other city council members who had come to the scene, Mayer stepped forward.
“My name is John Mayer, Senator of the City Government Central Council.”
“….”
“As you mentioned, the fight is over. “The outcome of this battle was decided long ago.”
Mayer spoke again to Grisha, who did not respond.
“The Central Council is directly in charge of the situation and is trying to prevent further casualties.”
“Casualties?”
Grisha, who had been listening to Mayer in silence, asked sharply.
“So what were you guys doing when Lapis was being chased by the city government?”
“Fastness and a thousand collisions were not factors that could be suppressed from the outside.”
As Mayer said that, he glanced back at Lennok.
“In particular, Evan Martinez’s rampage was not at a level that could be intervened or stopped. “If we had hastily intervened, there would have been more victims.”
“That’s a good excuse. “You ignored it because you were worried that the damage would increase?”
Grisha sneered.
“It’s a coincidence. Same goes for me, kid. “The lives of Lapis and the Watcher are much more important than the nameless scum of Balkan.”
“….”
“If you think about it, it wouldn’t be cool if you did what you said, but…”
The air around them became cold at the shaman’s cruel words.
The moment when the magic tower mage and city council members who followed the scene quietly placed their hands in their arms one by one.
Grisha quietly lifted Evan up and muttered.
“Because Evan is still alive. “I will follow your orders here.”
“….”
“Evan must have fought you and lost. The most powerful watcher among us has lost. “I don’t really want to deny that fact.”
Grisha said coldly, glaring at Lennok, who was standing with his arms crossed.
“But we will take victory in this war. Evan lost, but his desired goal was fulfilled perfectly. “I will definitely repay you for this someday.”
“Right. “It’s victory in the war…”
Lennok chuckled and cast his gaze behind Grisha’s back.
“It wouldn’t be wrong to express it that way.”
Mayer reflected on the meaning of those words for a moment and then realized the hidden intention behind Grisha’s words and his complexion hardened for a moment.
“It is impossible to say that the purpose was fulfilled for a short time…!!”
Paaaaaa!!
At that moment, a dazzling pillar of light fell in the middle of the Hexagonal Fortress.
A strong atmosphere that makes it impossible for anyone standing near the ruins of the city to turn their gaze.
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
The main gate of the castle, which had been tightly shut, was thrown open as if it had been smashed, and someone walked out from inside the broken castle.
Rich navy blue hair. Taller and more mature face than I remembered.
The appearance of an adult who has completely escaped childhood and has completed full growth.
It is only possible to revive the impression left in the photo from the expressionless face that has become cold.
“Lapis Falseer…?”
The moment when one of the wizards of the Magic Tower muttered as if it was hard to believe and Lapis raised her gaze.
Woe!!
Lapis jumped hundreds of meters in just one step and reached in front of Evan, then slowly turned around.
“….”
The gazes of Lapis and Lennok, who landed in front of Evan, who had collapsed with calm eyes, met almost simultaneously.
