Drug-Eating Genius Mage

The Medicine-Taking Genius Wizard Episode 946:

Prohibition (1)

The sky brightens and warm sunlight shines down on the ground.

The body of Anathema, with her head buried in the ground, using the thunderbolt of ideological trust as her tombstone.

The compassion of an archangel that is placed at an angle right next to it and emits dazzling holy light.

A relic-level artifact containing the spirit of Kashuin, the archangel of the old world, flashes wildly.

It was obvious how excited the archangel must be after meeting the religious leader but missing his presence right in front of his eyes.

However, instead of immediately picking up the staff stuck in the ground, he raised his magic power and quickly searched the surroundings.

Lennok, who detected traces of a familiar presence, nodded.

“As expected… am I a step too late?”

A priestess of the church who had already disappeared when Lennok escaped from the sanctuary.

Because it became clear that Ureka Naidri had visited this place again and left.

The name of Anathema, who was exiled from Arsnova, is a rare power that is not affected by prohibition.

The church probably didn’t want to just hand over Anathema’s body to Lennok.

Although the body could not be recovered due to the lightning strike of ideological trust, they must have tried to do something about it.

‘It is difficult to detect if body hair or blood was taken. But I guess she wasn’t satisfied with just that.’

Ureka Naidry is a madman who goes to the field in the form of a priestess to achieve certain results.

When he took the time to seek out Anathema’s power, he would not have been satisfied with half-baked results.

It is highly likely that they targeted parts of the body that were not conspicuous but had spiritual benefits.

‘It wouldn’t have hit major organs like the heart. Nevertheless, if it is an area worth touching despite the recoil-‘

Lennok, who turned Anathema’s face over and looked into the corner of her eyes, smiled bitterly.

This is because the apostle’s eye, which should have been under the left eyelid, was empty as if it had been cut out.

“It was the apple of the eye.”

In spiritual terms, the eyes are the window to the soul.

That would have been the maximum harvest the priestess could take from the dead Anathema.

Although part of the loot was taken away, Lennok was not angry at this point.

To put it in perspective, it was Lennok who killed the apostle and took possession of the body, and if the priestess had not performed her ministry, it would have been difficult to even meet the religious leader.

Above all, the priestess would not have been able to take out her eyes without any consequences.

Either way, it is Anathema’s corpse imbued with Lennok’s thunderbolt.

Even the brief process of touching the body and cutting out the pupils would have clearly left injuries to the priestess.

Moreover, Ureka Naidri did not recognize the priestly authority in Lennok’s body until the very end.

That may be because the authority that Seina left to Lennoc was completely lost even within the church.

If so, you can definitely use this lack of knowledge to your advantage when dealing with the religious denomination in the future.

Lennok thought so and stretched out his hand toward the archangel’s wildly glowing compassion.

[Cult Leader-!!!!]

Uuuuuung!!

The compassion of an archangel that vibrates while emitting intense holy light.

The rainbow-colored jewel attached to the tip of the staff rotated violently and let out a fierce battle.

[Where are you!!! Where is he?!!!]

“The cult leader has left.”

Lennok answered quietly.

“It is a being that stays in other people’s memories. “If it weren’t for a time like this, we wouldn’t have even had a chance to meet.”

[why!! Why didn’t you tell me in advance?!!]

Kashuin exhaled harshly.

[Didn’t you make a promise with me!! I believe that I will meet him again-!!!]

“Kashin. Don’t be mistaken.”

Kwasik!!

Lennok, who placed the Archangel’s compassion at his feet again, spoke coldly.

“I would have said that I would give you a chance, but anything beyond that would depend on your capabilities. Surely we didn’t agree on that?”

[Damn it but-!!!!!]

Unable to shake off his anger, Kashuin spouted out his thoughts.

[I couldn’t get a single word out. Not a single word reached him!!!!]

“….”

[If it was going to be like this, then what on earth did I do for…!!!!!]

The archangel’s compassion responded to his will and exploded into a storm of holy light.

The dust flew and bushes grew as if new life was blooming over the ruins.

“….”

Kashuin’s emotions and will, which had been fading before meeting the religious leader, become clearer than ever at this moment.

He, who had been losing his response like a wilting and dying flower, seems to have come back to life strongly after confronting the religious leader.

After finishing checking, Lennok picked up the Archangel’s Compassion and said.

“We didn’t say a word, but we definitely met. yes?”

[…okay. That’s why I’m boiling inside even more.]

Kashuin screamed.

[It would have been better if we had never met from the beginning…!!! I could have forgotten everything and disappeared, but why…!!!!]

“Kashin. “I kept my promise.”

Lennok spoke calmly despite the Archangel’s deafening shouts.

“Even before the face-to-face meeting with the religious leader, I did not forget the promise I made to you and gave you a chance. “Am I wrong?”

[….]

Kashuin’s battle came to an end.

Lennok, sensing that he was listening intently, whispered softly.

“I am the only one who can make your wish come true. And it will only be me in the future.”

[Okay… it’s probably just you. I know.]

After hesitating, Kashuin agreed with difficulty.

[request. Let me see him again. What can I do?]

“I don’t mean to ask you a difficult favor.”

Lennok laughed.

“I just hope for more active cooperation than now.”

[…Active cooperation?]

“The power of the archangel or the knowledge of the old world. “The things you neglected while lounging around in the artifact.”

The more he learned about the church, the more Lennok felt the need for Kashuin’s knowledge.

It is self-evident that the existence of the Guido Church is an arrangement of the cult leader that started from the second world.

If so, it is highly likely that the knowledge known by Kashuin, who ascended to the Archangel’s seat, will be similarly used in the religious order.

“You also won’t deny the fact that you doubted and had doubts about the promise you made with me, right?”

[….]

“But I kept my promise and proved that I was capable of it.”

Lennok said, strongly grasping the Archangel’s compassion.

“Now it’s time to show you that you’re worth it.”

[…good night. If He is willing for you, I will definitely have another chance someday.]

Kashuin agreed.

[I hoped that the anxiety and anguish would disappear like this… but from now on, I will cooperate as much as possible according to your position.]

“The agreement has been concluded. “Then go in now.”

[what? Wait, why are you making me say something like this?]

Lennok, ignoring the noisy Kashuin, stuffed the Archangel’s sympathy into his coat.

The reason I put pressure on Kashuin as soon as I left the sanctuary was because I knew there was no time Kashuin would feel more desperate than now.

Since Lennok also used Kashuin’s existence to avoid the religious leader’s interference, it was necessary to take a look at this part.

However, there were still things that needed to be checked right now rather than the compassion of Kashuin and the Archangel.

Recovering Anathema’s body. Conclusion of the meeting. Just as I was sorting out the other things that needed to be done in my head.

“Armas…!!”

A faint voice seemed to rang out from behind Lennok.

Light green hair and long ears. Reiji, with a pale complexion, was looking at Anathema with a devastated expression.

The gruesome sight of Anathema lying down with a mountain goat’s head and inverted hooves grotesquely mixed all over her body.

“You stupid bastard…!!”

Reiji bowed his head in front of the lifeless body without even regaining its human form.

The moment when she inadvertently stretched out her hand towards Apostle’s body, where lightning flashed, while suppressing the rising emotions.

“Just to die like this…!!”

“Until there.”

Wedge!

The figure that accelerated at incredible speed behind Lennok kicked Reiji’s shoulder hard, sending him flying.

Reiji’s body, unable to resist much, fell to the ground and slipped.

“Tsk…!!”

“Rage Mystra. Even if you are a member of Sistema Aurum, we cannot tolerate any further behavior than this.”

Someone stepped on Reiji’s arm with one foot and spoke in a cold voice.

Black suit. Black hair that melts into the darkness and green eyes that glow softly beneath it.

click!!

As he placed his hand on the visor that covered his lower body, a face familiar to Lennok appeared.

“Eveline Marcia…!!”

Reiji’s expression crumpled as he looked at Evelyn’s face.

“I thought you didn’t show up for the meeting, but are you still watching the situation?”

“You knew that the higher-ups were keeping an eye on this meeting.”

Evelyn answered in an indifferent voice and nodded.

“At the same time as Anathema appeared, the Senate moved and I, who did not attend the meeting, was dispatched.”

“…!!!”

Evelyn said, looking down at Reiji with a cold gaze.

“Anathema’s rebellion took place in the satellite city of Etanok. “As key players in this situation, you and Slaine Onyx will be taken away.”

[Oh, we’re a step late.]

The moment Evelyn stepped on Reiji’s back and raised her magic power, a huge metal sphere fell from the air and blocked Evelyn’s path.

Kwaaaang!!

The front wheel bracket that crashed to the ground rotates, scattering the impact in all directions and causing the earth to vibrate violently.

[Even after night and day change and old friends leave, there is still so much left to do.]

Olynik, who was standing with his back on the giant metal sphere, spoke to Evelyn in a humorous voice.

[Hyeonggung. I understand that you have quit your job as an agent. Can I ask where you plan to take her?]

“I don’t think there is any reason to repeat the same explanation, pretender.”

Evelyn said, looking at him with cold eyes.

“You were already watching this way.”

[….]

“Or do you want to hear an explanation right now about what deal I made with the Senate?”

[There is a misunderstanding. I also have no intention of going against the will of the Senate.]

Olynyk answered softly.

Olynik said while looking at Anathema’s fallen body and the tombstone with lightning striking it.

[However, the other participants who fought outside of Etanok are returning.]

“….”

[I would like to take the time to mourn the death of my foolish comrade.]

“I had no idea that the head of the Gisu Shrine was such an emotional person. “I didn’t know.”

Evelyn laughed.

“good. “Let’s wait until Slaine Onyx arrives.”

“You talk at length about holding the Senate’s hand.”

Reiji glared at Evelyn.

“Your race has always been on the side of the advantaged. I know.”

“Now, even if you talk about race or anything else, it doesn’t give me any inspiration.”

Evelyn answered without raising an eyebrow.

“If you wish, I will allow you to finish the conversation with Fast. “There was something you wanted to say, right?”

“…no.”

Reiji’s shoulders trembled at those words, but then he lowered his gaze.

Unable to make eye contact with Lennok, she muttered in a voice that seemed as if she would go off at any moment.

“it’s okay. “Because I know I was foolish.”

“….”

Do you think you owe Lennok something when things turn out like this?

Evelyn, dragging the desperate Reiji, turned towards Lennok.

“half.”

“There you are.”

“It’s a little late.”

Evelyn sighed softly.

“I’m sorry, but can I explain later?”

“as you please.”

“….”

The reason why Evelyn did not attend the meeting between the 8 levels. The reason he belatedly showed up to arrest Reiji and Slaine.

And the reason why he took the Senate’s hand as Reiji sarcastically said.

It wasn’t that Lennok wasn’t curious, but I had no intention of asking if he didn’t want an explanation.

“Shouldn’t you at least pretend to be curious out of courtesy?”

“Weren’t you hoping that wouldn’t happen?”

Lennok said with a smile.

“If you want, I can help you arrest Slaine.”

“…are you okay. “I know that neither Reiji nor Slaine are affiliated with the church.”

Evelyn lowered her voice so that Reiji could not hear.

“However, the Senate wants to hear directly about this meeting. Anathema’s change of heart is also an important reason.”

If someone as big as Olynyk said that he had no intention of going against the Senate’s will, there must have been a problem.

There seemed to be no doubt that the Senate, which had barely intervened in the Balkans, was concerned about Anathema’s change of heart.

“Has the Senate decided to move in earnest?”

“…Maybe so.”

Evelyn, who had a serious expression on her face, soon changed the topic with a mischievous smile.

“But wasn’t this your first time meeting Slaine? “Seeing as if he was waiting and trying to help, I guess he didn’t like that guy at all.”

“You’ve developed a habit of interpreting other people’s favor in a crooked way.”

“The transport of Slaine and Reiji is for justification.”

Evelyn laughed with an embarrassed expression.

“This is not something that can be forcibly detained. This is especially true if you are a mediator clan like Onyx.”

“The Arbiter clan?”

“Slaine is not human. “You know that, right?”

Lennok nodded to Evelyn’s question.

“It was a thought closer to a magical beast than a human. However, it did not seem to be from the Longevity Sect….”

“Onyx is not from the Longevity Sect, but from the Hwansu Sect. To be precise, it is the bloodline of a three-legged crow.”

“…Three-legged crow?”

Does this mean that the black-haired, red-eyed man who hosted the meeting was actually a three-legged crow?

“They are called the Mediator clan because their three feet symbolize balance. They are known to build nests and reside in the spirit world.”

Evelyn explained.

“The reason Slaine took the lead in Anathema’s manifestation at the meeting was because he was able to contact Anathema, who had been exiled from reality, through the spirit world.”

“Right.”

Lennok, who understood the reason for wanting to transport Slaine’s body, nodded.

“Do you think that Slaine may have been influenced by the church, just like Anathema was?”

“If a noble from Arsnova became an apostle, it wouldn’t be impossible to become a phantom sect. Above all, non-human species have innate emotions-”

“Wait.”

At that moment, Lennok raised his hand to stop Evelyn.

The moment Evelyn noticed the strange incident, she immediately raised her magic power and turned around.

“If you’re going to gossip, I hope you do it in front of me.”

Phew!

Suddenly, Slaine, who was standing behind Evelyn, spoke with an expressionless face.

“I do not get angry or refute each and every sentiment of the human species. “Ignorance is not a subject of persuasion, but of understanding and respect.”

“….”

His presence was so faint that even Lennok recognized it only after he appeared.

I feel a strange sense of discomfort, as if my entire body is not in this place.

If it is a phantom beast species that lives in the spirit world. Its origins are closer to spirits than to Jangsaengjong.

Because the status of the original body is too strong, it may be a case of staying in this world without relying on a form of contract.

“Did you say you came to transport me?”

Slaine walked in front of Lennok and raised both his hands.

“If you need formal restraint, do whatever you want. Even if you don’t do that, you still have something to talk about with the Senate.”

“….”

Evelyn met Slaine’s gaze and said as she took out handcuffs and put them on both of Slaine’s hands.

“I am scheduled to be escorted to the central district along with Mystra. “Is there something you want to say?”

“There was too much to say to get it done in one day.”

Slaine said and raised his gaze.

Other attendees were returning to the ruins where Anathema’s body lay.

Olynyk stands on a giant metal sphere. Habaek riding on a horned beast.

Claude returns with Kiriya and Feisha faints. Marcus Trangula, the leader of the Mirror Divers.

Some did not return to the meeting and some left without any regrets.

“I don’t have time, so let’s take care of the most important things first. “It is about the treatment of Armas von Anathema.”

However, instead of checking on each of them, Slaine looked at the light and said.

“Anathema was a hero of the civil war, and even funeral procedures were set after his death, but the moment he became an apostle, it was as meaningless as any.”

“….”

“Therefore, Anathema’s body is treated as an asset, not a deceased person, and is completely transferred to Lightning herself.”

Slaine’s answer as he looked away from the quiet ruins.

However, Lennok was thinking about Slaine’s intention in mentioning that fact at this point.

At the point when Lennok killed Anathema and drove a lightning bolt into her body, it was decided where the ownership would go.

If so, it would mean that there is something that needs to be notified here based on the already established facts.

“Also, the chief of the Central City’s Forbidden Army, which was sealed in Anathema’s home during her lifetime, has also lost her right to succession.”

As if reading Lennok’s thoughts, Slaine spoke again.

“According to the rules of the temple, ownership is transferred to Lightning, the party who subjugated the apostle. Is there anyone who disagrees with this fact?”

“…what?”
