Drug-Eating Genius Mage

The Medicine-Taking Genius Wizard Episode 903

: Eyes that See Destiny (39)

Rumbling…!!

On the other side of the distorted sky, burning red flower petals fluttered aimlessly.

The reverberation of the thunderbolt seeped under the split clouds, and the fragments of the flame flower lost their shape and spread a faint heat.

The image of Lapis raising her hand through the haze that still remains on the ground.

“….”

Without saying anything, he touches his mouth with an expressionless face.

It’s as if he is finally realizing, confirming, and recognizing his changed appearance.

Long flowing navy blue hair. The facial features have become sharper than before.

Even the gaze that quietly looks around feels foreign, as if it is not human.

The conscious body of Cheongyeon encountered at the border of the world.

Lennok narrowed his eyes and others hardened their expressions at the sight of a figure that looked just like Madrea Falseer in her youth.

Doo doo doo doo…!!!

A strong sense of discomfort as if everyone’s eyes were being forcibly bent towards her just by watching that appearance.

It seems as if he doesn’t let go of his gaze and forcibly holds her in her every action, tying her up.

‘I can’t read the signs…’

The tower’s high-ranking wizards retreated in a cold sweat, feeling completely alienated from the existing hierarchy.

A feeling of pressure that seems to be suppressing the thoughts and thoughts around you just by standing there and doing nothing.

The moment everyone simultaneously understood that Lapis Falseer’s power had undergone a huge change on the other side of the fortress.

Lapis’ cool gaze precisely intersected with Lennok’s eyes.

“….”

Everyone who was watching the two face each other held their breath, tense.

Even after a decisive battle with Evan Martinez that devastated the entire city, the crazy archmage stands still and waits for the next one.

A face-to-face encounter with Lapis Falseer, who appeared in a completely different form on the other side of the sanctuary of the Hexagonal Fortress and transcended time and space in an instant.

There is no one in this city who does not know how strangely tangled the causal relationship between two people is.

It wouldn’t be surprising if either side tried to put an end to a fight they couldn’t finish.

“….”

However, Lennok and Lapis did not raise their magic power or utter harsh words towards each other.

We just looked into each other’s eyes without saying a word, as if we had made a promise.

The lighthouse keeper who seems to be looking into Lennok’s inner self, and the wizard who does not avoid Lapis’ gaze.

She looked at Lennok for a while and then turned around without saying a word.

Wow!!

Grisha came down from under the giant tree and stood behind Lapis, supporting Evan.

Other high-ranking observers who were surrounded on all sides also quietly followed Lapis.

Damn it!

Hundreds of observers followed the lighthouse keeper who began to walk slowly.

An army of watchers marching through the middle of a city that has been turned into ruins, supporting a fallen wizard.

“Wait a minute, leaving here without any follow-up is-”

“Matif.”

Belatedly, just as one of the city council members was trying to somehow catch her, Mayer tapped his cane.

“Let me go.” “We also open the front lines built on the outskirts of undeveloped areas.”

“Senator Mayer. But…”

“You don’t know yet?”

Mayer smiled bitterly and winked to the side.

Lennok shows no reaction to Lapis’ actions.

Mayer understood that there was no choice at the point when Fast was acquiescing to this moment.

“The shaman is right. Here we are defeated. “It is over there that you will achieve your goal and leave.”

“….”

“I guess it’s right to let him go when he quietly says he’s leaving.”

Mayer nodded calmly.

“I will take responsibility and defeat the military-”

“Senator John Mayer.”

Lapis came up to him and looked down at Mayer without saying a word.

Mayer, who was momentarily speechless at the elegant appearance that seemed to have transcended humanity, opened his mouth with a bitter smile.

“…False Lord.”

“….”

“You’ve changed a lot since I last saw you.”

Lapis, who was looking down at him with transparent eyes, nodded lightly.

“I see you.”

“…You see it?”

“So let me be clear here.”

Lapis spoke, not paying attention to Mayer’s pause at the sudden remark.

She looked back at the people stopping around her with a cold gaze and opened her mouth.

“The ceremony is over. “I have made my decision.”

“….”

The reason why Lapis Falseer’s appearance suddenly grew.

The reason why hundreds of watchers suddenly appeared without any sign of presence.

Crucially, even the formidable fragments of magical power flowing from Lapis Falseer’s entire body.

While Mayer’s expression hardened, Lapis spoke softly.

“A lot has happened, but I am still me.”

“….”

“As promised, I decided to keep that one fact until the end.”

Lapis muttered that and quietly closed her eyes.

Wizards and investigators who did not understand her words met her gaze in silence.

However, Lennok understood that what Lapis was saying now was an answer to only one person.

Because I met Cheongyeon at the border of the world and made a decision. Because he came back after seeing what Lennoc wanted.

She was trying to fulfill her wish here and now.

“So, everything that happened today…”

Lapis tried to say something, but then shook her head with a bitter smile.

As if she was trying to shake off all the lingering regrets that remained inside her.

As she slowly opened her eyes, her eyes shone with utmost clarity.

Lapis said, repeating what she had whispered to herself once again.

“I will leave everything that happened today buried here.”

“….”

The moment everyone inadvertently turned their gaze towards her at her firm words that would not tolerate rejection.

“…Right.”

At that cold declaration, Mayer quietly stroked his chin and nodded.

“I heard you clearly. “I will personally deliver it to the Central Council.”

“….”

“However, could you promise to send an envoy to this assembly once everything is over?”

Mayer asked calmly.

“Responsibility aside, adjustments to the Dominion’s non-aggression pact will be necessary. “Isn’t that why you decided to visit the Balkans?”

“The tenth lighthouse is expected to be completed soon.”

Lapis said with an expressionless face.

“Once the lighthouse is completed and new abilities are opened, there will be no need to make promises like this.”

“….”

As if she had said all she wanted to say, Lapis turned around without hesitation.

Phew!

Lapis, who has grown taller, nods and passes by Lennok.

It looks like he no longer has any regrets about that fact.

“…half?”

Mayer called out to Lennok, looking slightly embarrassed, but Lennok did not answer.

Who was the greeting that Lapis just gave a nod to?

Either way, it is clear that Lapis was trying to reach her own conclusion here and now.

In that case, Lennok should also respect Lapis’ judgment.

That was the only thing Lennoc could do for Lapis, who had pledged to remain in the world until the end.

wickedness…!!

The reaction of high-ranking watchers passing by Lennok and glaring sharply at his face.

Lenok looked away from that intense gaze and looked up at the sky, watching the main body of Blue Eyes recede.

“It’s raining.”

“….”

Tap, tap…!!

Dark clouds gathered in the heated sky again and rain fell.

The aftermath appears long after the battle between the two wizards has ended.

The abnormal weather that occurred as a result of the clash between monsters that exceeded their limits normalized, and rain cooled the ground.

Mayer sighed with a troubled expression as he watched the attendants hurriedly bring umbrellas.

“There must have been an uproar in the media. “How should the council announce this situation…”

Lennok slowly walked away as the rain fell from the darkened sky.

Lennoc walked in the opposite direction from Lapis without any hesitation, leaving Mayer speechless.

Area 19, a closed area. A warrant issued directly by the city government. A conflict that took place over the sanctuary of the fortress.

The huge turmoil that the entire metropolitan city was watching came to an end, and only the aftermath remained, a ruin that echoed like an echo.

And for Lennok, there was one last thing left to do.

* * *

Rumbling!!

The main body of the Blue Eyes crosses the undeveloped area with hundreds of observers lined up on both sides.

A ship made of intertwined tree roots was traveling at high speeds on a rough unpaved road.

A landing fleet created to sail on land, not the sea, created by Grisha’s spell.

The observer who came next to Lapis, who was leaning against the side of the deck, opened his mouth.

“Lapis. “We have summoned a mid-dimensional engine to the outermost edge of the undeveloped area.”

“….”

“If you use the power you have accumulated in advance, you can return within two days-”

“Senju.”

Grisha shook his head.

“later. “I will handle the secondary matters separately.”

“…All right.”

The observer who was about to say something nodded quietly.

Most observers are aware that Lapis was attempting to carry out a very important mission in this city.

However, it was not properly revealed what that mission was.

“Lapis, how are you feeling?”

Grisha asked, looking back at the large city moving away with his arms crossed.

“Are you okay? “Can we talk?”

Grisha knows that Lapis visited Balkan to meet the consciousness of Heavenly Gyeon.

Also, the fact that he was looking for the door to the open sea in order to retrieve all of the lighthouse keeper’s supernormal abilities.

However, Grisha did not forget that he had to confirm the most important fact with Lapis.

Grisha’s eyes sank deeply as he looked at Lapis.

“Are you… still the same person I know?”

“Mr. Grisha.”

Lapis slowly opened her eyes at those words.

Lapis, who was staring at Grisha, smiled expressionlessly.

“I’m just a little tired. I’m fine.”

“….”

“I was thinking about the meaning of the last thing I saw.”

“If that’s what you mean…”

Grisha’s expression changed slightly.

This is because Grisha was also aware of ‘something’ that appeared when the sky opened in the process of entering the satellite city on the outskirts of the Balkans.

The high-ranking observers who had been listening intently to Lapis’ words finally opened their mouths one by one.

“You were talking about the ability that Lightning last used.”

“The sky opened and closed. Did everyone see it?”

Liza and Seong-seon are close to being physically capable, and Raplad, who is a magician but specializes in hand-to-hand combat.

In addition, newly recruited high-ranking observers from the center recalled what had just happened.

“I have seen many supernatural abilities, but this is the first time I have seen the sky open just by the development of intention.”

“It was a very clear and powerful image. “If you look at the construction rate alone, it’s denser than Old Man Je Byeok’s microcosm.”

“I heard there are different levels of archmage. Have you reached a state of perfection when it comes to manipulating images?”

“Compared to any magician I’ve seen, the speed of development was on a completely different level.”

Grisha nodded with a stern expression.

“The process of developing an area with such a powerful focus was clearly shown… It was the first time that I did not understand its true value.”

“….”

A miracle that disappeared so quickly that even though all the observers here could perceive it with all five senses, their identity could not be guessed.

“Evan’s area of self-reflection will not lag behind either.”

Seong-myeong, who held the spear pole tightly, hurriedly opened his mouth.

“From what I heard on the way, an unexpected variable occurred during the battle, so we had no choice but to-”

“What?”

Hearing those words, other observers looked at Myeong-myeong with a somewhat curious expression.

“I thought you could say something like that.”

“Have you developed feelings for each other just because you’ve known each other for so long?”

“…It’s not like that.”

Grisha shook his head with a wry smile as he irritably swatted away the hands of the giggling observers.

“Let’s ask Evan about that after he wakes up. “I’ll have to check before I get to the center anyway.”

He said he appeared in Balkan for a while to help Lapis, so he shouldn’t forcefully drag Evan to the center now.

Just as Grisha was thinking that, he was trying to control the direction of the ship by moving his main force.

“Mr. Grisha.”

Lapis, whose eyes were closed, suddenly opened her mouth.

“There is someone waiting.”

“…what?”

Lapis slowly opened her eyes and said,

“I don’t think I can just pass by.”

“A person who is waiting means…”

Wow!!

As Grisha said that, his face hardened as the force of determination weighed on his shoulders.

As soon as Lapis said that, she started stamping the entire area as if she had no intention of hiding it.

A ferocity that can be felt to the point of madness, as it freely manipulates the entire space with its hands.

A richly decorated palanquin was placed on the other side of the fork in the road leading out of the city.

Whioooo!!

“That is…”

Red giants are kneeling on both sides of the palanquin covered with a transparent veil.

People in suits stood behind the palanquin and kept their mouths shut.

The force emanating from the kiln is not inferior to Lapis.

Or rather, if we were to consider the strength of the force, this position-

[Was it you who was the lighthouse keeper who took over the next position from Cheon-gyeon?]

“…!!”

A magnificent display that immediately hardens the complexion of those watching.

A strong doctor who delivers his message not through voice, but through pure magic.

Sweet.

The door of the palanquin opened and a tall woman slowly walked out.

A thick coat of arms and a veil covering the face. A rainbow-colored eye light flashes beyond it.

A heavy and intense magical power flowing out like a thick fog.

Coo coo coo!!

A feeling of pressure as if the air around you becomes heavier just by standing in place and looking in this direction.

At that moment, the watchers, who sensed that this was a power beyond common sense, quickly jumped out and formed a line.

[I heard the story through rumor, but he is much younger than I thought.]

Oliveira said leisurely.

[There’s no way the old man would mess up his mission by clinging to the bonds of blood and blood, so he prioritized talent rather than experience.]

“Oliviera Ron Maze…!!”

“What’s going on with the head of the cartel?”

Ignoring the sharply reacting observers, Oliveira lightly gestured.

thud!

A girl with fluorescent hair appeared carrying a large chair and calmly put it down and walked away.

She naturally sat down in a chair, tilted her head behind her veil and said.

[I wanted to see the new lighthouse keeper’s face in person before everything was over.]

“….”

[Probably, if it wasn’t now, I wouldn’t be able to guess when our causal ties would meet.]

Lapis Falseer has all of her supernormal abilities. The time to recover and be reborn as a new lighthouse keeper.

Oliveira came to see Lapis with her own eyes at this moment when she pledged to fulfill her mission.

And Lapis already knew that what Oliveira said was not wrong.

If she hadn’t come to see Lapis, their time wouldn’t have overlapped.

And it is clear that Lapis realizes that fact as well as Oliveira-

[There is a similarity between the supernormal ability you inherited and my eyes. Don’t you feel it too?]

Oliveira smiled strangely beyond her veil.

[Look into the future that has not yet arrived and see the knot of undetermined cause and effect. We are cursed to be born in the shackles of failure, not success.]

“….”

[Because we imitate the next best solution to all things, we covet a miracle that is more than just a miracle, but we cannot reach our secret wish… Isn’t it ironic?]

“We don’t have much time.”

Lapis answered with an expressionless face.

“If you have something to say, please do so right here and now.”

[Yes, you must have seen it with those eyes… How was it?]

Oliveira, who was staring at Lapis’ face, laughed.

[Was there under that sky an inaction that left the transition between life and death?]

“….”

Only then did Lapis raise her gaze and look straight at Oliveira’s veil.

Because I realized what the question Oliveira had asked Lapis by coming all this way was for.

Inaction that leaves the transition between life and death. A world of truth that absolutely exists.

What does it mean to ask Lapis that right here and now?

Oliveira already knew that Lapis was the only person who saw the fast image and returned.

Was he trying to confirm with Lapis whether there was a concept or something more beyond human mutual understanding?

[If the absolute truth has descended on the human world, it must be addressed here.]

Oliveira said leisurely.

[Because if you calculate the future without considering the constant point of cause and effect, even a small mistake will lead to an uncontrollable miscalculation.]

“…No.”

Lapis shook her head quietly.

“I saw, but I did not see. As someone who has inherited the supernormal ability of sight seeing, I should not say that I have seen its true nature.”

[So?]

“But I just thought that if there was an answer that hadn’t been decided yet, that would be enough for now.”

Lapis said as she glanced back at the fallen Evan.

“If the unanswered ending is still on our side, we will definitely be able to stand before the truth someday.”

[….]

Oliveira tilted her head with an expression of displeasure.

[It’s so pure. Would it be enough if the world could just be given one more chance?]

“….”

[Well, that’s good. Such purity is also a virtue that a person who protects the mission must be able to maintain.]

She slowly stood up and gestured with her hand, and the chair she was sitting on completely disappeared.

Oliveira smiled as she turned without hesitation and entered the wide open palanquin.

[One, I am already certain. Just because what you and I saw was not an illusion, it would mean something to us.]

“Are you still looking for meaning?”

[The fact that it exists is important. It’s too boring to worry about anything more than that.]

Oliveira waved her hands.

[I tried to set a conclusion and follow the process tediously, even when I failed once.]

“….”

[Originally, I would have checked the qualifications of the new lighthouse keeper myself here, but….]

Toward the palanquin. A faint smile was mixed in Oliveira’s voice as she turned around.

[It’s tasteless to ruin the game before the curtain call.]

Bang!!

As soon as the palanquin door closes, red-skinned giants stand up carrying the palanquin.

Immediately, it disappears across the street like fog, led by a crowd of people wearing suits.

Lapis stared at the disappeared spot and then slowly looked away.

A huge wooden ship made from the main force left behind by Grisha.

At the end of the deck, Evan had woken up and was looking down at the ground.

“….”

Pale and slightly trembling complexion, as if exhausted after an arduous battle.

The expression on his face was stiff and awkward, as if his complexion had no color.

Other watchers belatedly realized that Evan had woken up and their expressions widened.

“Are you okay, Evan?”

“What if the person who fainted wakes up already?!”

“I almost died. It would be best to rest.”

The voices of watchers talking loudly on deck.

But even though Lapis was watching, she didn’t laugh along with them or call him out loud.

“Evan.”

However, with an expressionless face, I just stared into the eyes of Evan, who had just woken up.

“Can we two talk for a moment?”

“…Lapis?”

Lapis, ignoring the other observers’ halting remarks, nodded lightly toward Evan.

The curtain call that Oliveira teasingly mentioned.

It was ironic, but Lapis also knew that there was no way to compare this moment.

I decided to bury everything that happened today in those ruins, but there was still something to exchange.

“I want to tell you something about Evan’s fate.”

Lapis smiled bitterly for the first time.

“About an ending that might be our last.”
