Genius Magician Who Eats Medicine Episode 778

Ghost Journey (4)

A sudden encounter with the priests of the Guido Church and their absurd proposal.

But before answering, Lennok calmly looked back at his memory.

‘When was the last time you had contact with the Church?’

Come to think of it, it’s been a while since I’ve had direct contact with the church.

I met the religious leader a while ago, but in the first place, the transcendental person is not an existence that can be defined as a single concept.

To put it bluntly, it’s safe to say that it’s almost the first time they’ve been involved with the church since the Amrita incident.

But it was clear that they were plotting something in the middle of the swamp.

“It must have been an intentional plan to attract demons by smelling blood.”

As Lennok said, he glanced at the corpse of the young man he had split open.

“Did you mean to make an offering to him even though he became an apostle?”

A passenger who couldn’t speak properly and vomited the paprika sandwich Lennok gave him.

When he climbed onto the bug’s back without dying in the swaddle, Lennok realized that the young man was no ordinary human being.

I just thought about whether he was a monster who could speak human language or a monster of another category.

The priest who was standing in the lead heard that and asked back with a look of admiration.

“You know very well about the Order of the Order. Are you also of the same doctrine?”

“Is that an important issue now?”

“yes. It is important.”

After saying that, the priest put his hands together toward Lennok and respectfully joined them together.

“If you are a believer in the doctrine, would you like to be an offering for the apostles of our school?”

“… … .”

While Lennok kept his mouth shut at the absurd suggestion, the priest calmly explained.

“It will take a sacrifice to get out of this swamp. We will remember for a long time the grace of the believers for the well-being of the church.”

“What if I’m not a believer?”

“… … Then we need not hesitate to seek cooperation.”

The priest answered, taking out a sharp sword from within his bosom.

“If we make offerings to non-believers, the gods will be happy to accept our devotion.”

[These crazy organisms. Do you want to get rid of it quickly?]

Darby grumbled, who was listening from inside the robe.

[I’m getting annoyed because I’m listening.]

Isn’t that what he meant to be the subject of human sacrifice, whether or not he is a member of the religious order?

The shameless request and the words and actions covered in fanaticism made Lennok laugh as it seemed to be the church he knew.

“It’s probably not because you have to get out of the swamp.”

Lennok said, looking at the priests surrounding him slowly in the middle of the cramped island.

“The church is not a group that hesitates to make sacrifices to solve problems. If it was simply to cross the swamp, you would have already obtained a method by making offerings among yourselves.”

“… … .”

“Nevertheless, if it is the reason to call the magic beasts and lure other people to cross the swamp… … .”

Lennok laughed.

“It must be because you have a very urgent problem that requires offering a high-level magic user to receive strength.”

members of the church. Priests whose faith is deep enough to allow outside activities are not short of being called madmen.

Most of them do not hesitate to sacrifice themselves to make offerings. Even so, the reason why the followers waited for other offerings instead of holding the offerings and gaining strength to cross the swamp.

Isn’t it because there are problems that can be solved just by making offerings to the members of the church?

“Shindo.”

The priest who had been listening to Lennok smiled faintly.

“You know too much.”

“I have already said it once, but I am not a believer.”

The moment Lennok said that and raised his hand.

The head of the priest standing right next to him exploded like an explosion.

woooooong!!

Lennok shook his head with a smile, seeing the members of the church who were expressionless despite being covered in the blood of a fellow priest.

“I would like you to refrain from using such offensive titles.

” “Kill!!”

Dozens of church members and wizards clashed on a cramped island.

In all directions, the tangled weapons and the cult’s spells collided, scattering unknown flesh.

The moment the silvery-white solid lines that pierced the gap between them rippled and dug into my brain.

Papa papa papa!!!

Dozens of church members gathered their hands together as if they were dancing and took a reverent posture.

The figure of believers sitting on their knees as if praying.

However, they were not in a position to perform common rituals or spells.

Magicians who were elaborately attached to the limbs manipulated the limbs like puppets and forcibly took away the ability to control the body.

They pierce their own heart with a weapon held in both hands.

Pooh!!

“… … !!!”

The images of priests who knelt down as if praying and pierced their own hearts and died.

A series of workshops that could not even earn a little time.

Lennok, who killed all the church members on the spot, shook his hand and retrieved the broken magician.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to dig up information about why the Guido Church was here, but Lennok knew who the Church was.

It is a group of zealots who will never reveal information about the Church under severe interrogation or pressure.

Even as Lennok, all he could do was use his Mystic Eye to crush his mind in half and pick up information that was spit out in fragments.

It’s not impossible if you have enough time, but it’s a different story if you’re left alone in the middle of such a rough terrain.

“We’ll have to replace another way to cross the swamp. Should I build a boat?”

It would be possible to escape the swamp area by using the blinking technique, but if you consume the blinking charged in the papyrus here, you will have to refrain from using it while staying in the military command city.

Lennok wanted to avoid such a situation.

[If you make something like a boat out of the trees that grew in this devil’s land, the poison will rise soon.]

Darby answered Lennok’s self-talk from the inside of his robe.

[It will be full of moisture and not suitable for waterproofing, so it’s not a very good choice.

] If you go up, you will be able to see your surroundings in more detail.”

That moment when Lennok answered and hung the magician on the tree above his head and pulled it slowly.

coo coo… … !!

A shock that seemed to tremble the whole swampy area, and at the same time, something burst out from under the surface.

Huge enough to fill the entire field of vision. A poisonous toad the size of a house with sharp thorns embedded all over its body stares at Lennok with inorganic eyes.

[Bulging.]

An enormous amount of mana that could be felt just by looking at Lennok.

It easily surpasses the average superman just by accumulating in the body during the time it has grown without being properly processed or circulated.

Seeing that the signs of other monsters disappeared with the appearance of the toad, you should probably see this monster as a predator at the top of the food chain in the nearby swamp.

But instead of rushing right after seeing Lennok, Toad yawned as if he were drowsy.

[Spoken.]

[It’s cuter than I thought?]

“… … Aren’t words learning wrong?”

While Lennok and Darby are talking to Toad, who is more defenseless than expected.

The toad, with its jaws wide open, opened its mouth wide and swallowed the entire small island Lennok had been standing on just before.

Kwajajajak!!

The corpses of dead monsters and beast priests disappear into the mouth of a toad.

Only Lennok, who had been hanging from a tree with a magic spell, remained watching the meal.

[Uh jeok jeok.]

At first glance, it seems that there is a difference in the inorganic eyes of the toad after he has finished his appetite.

Most of the dead here were magic users, so it must feel like a very special meal for witches.

To eat a handful of meat, chewing up and swallowing several tons of dirt, should I say that it is worthy of a monster living in a swampy area?

While Lennok thought so and rummaged in his arms, the Toad Witchbeast began slowly approaching Lennok.

damn!!

Only then did Darby, who confirmed the body of the toad revealed under the swamp, let out a strange scream.

[Ugh… … .]

“Does it still look cute?”

Under the toad’s neck, like a monkey, long limbs are running and swaying in all directions.

It’s bizarre, as if some piece of mechanical equipment that doesn’t fit is forcibly fitted and operated.

The toad moved towards Lennok, who was hanging in the air, and opened his mouth slowly.

It was only then that Darby realized why the witch didn’t eat Lenok right away, and murmured.

[I think he thought he had nowhere to run, so he thought he was going to eat it last.]

“I tend to save delicious food until the end. It’s not like I don’t know that feeling either.”

As Lennok said, he dropped something in his arms.

“Then let’s see if we can eat this deliciously.”

beep beep… … !!

It wasn’t just the artifacts and personal firearms that he had been using that he had prepared before leaving for the military command city.

I thought about how to easily project high firepower, and what I came up with was the type of explosive that I had tried in the well of the handbook.

Explosives that compress magic in a specific way, like the Mana Resonance Incendiary used in Great Forest, are more powerful than you can imagine.

Among them, what Lennok brought out this time was a penetrating caloric bomb that thoroughly focused on internal destruction rather than diffusion.

Chii profit!!

A metal sphere the size of a fist that emits strangely hot heat.

It emits a blue magic light through the cracks and catches it as it falls from the air with a magician.

The moment when he used centrifugal force to swing the magician and accurately plunged the caloric bomb hanging from the tip into the toad’s throat.

Wow!!

The toad’s head exploded, and the gooey skin and eyeballs began to melt in place.

Even after the whole head has melted, the monkey’s arms wriggle in the air, leaving only the torso, as if the instinct to eat lenok still remains.

The magician’s torso, which had lost its power, was thrown back into the swamp.

Lennok saw him and immediately climbed up the tree and prepared to leave.

“Move quickly. Soon other demons will come here too.”

The monsters in the swamp we saw earlier seemed to prefer the meat of the same beast rather than humans.

Since he killed the toad, which was quite strong even in the swamp, other monsters would probably come to greedily eat the meat.

It would be better to get out quickly while the beasts’ eyes are focused here.

“… … hmm?”

However, Lennok, who was about to run away without looking back, stopped again, recognizing a sense of deja vu caught in his gaze.

The corpse of the Witchbeast whose head had just been blown off.

To be precise, it was Lennok staring at the belly skin of the torso.

“… … .”

[Master?]

“The magic power remains.”

[Isn’t it strange that a strong demon retains its magic for a long time after death?]

“No. It’s on the other side. You were mistaken in the first place.”

Lennok said that and immediately jumped down the tree.

Adjusting the floating magic to slow it down, Lennok, who landed on the beast’s belly skin, picked up a magician.

Awesome!!

Apply cutting magic to neatly cut off the belly skin and dig out the intestines.

“… … found.”

It was digested, but the part that was particularly bulging inside the beast’s intestines was cut once more.

Jurr!!

An indescribable mixture of remains and filth from the meatballs flowed out of the cracked intestines.

Darby was frightened, but Lennok was unfazed.

thud!!

A gigantic locker almost equal to Lennok’s height in terms of size.

The figure of a woman praying is carved on the outside as if it were modeled after Iron Maiden.

A unique object that seems completely unrelated to an object that can be found in the beast’s digestive system.

said Lennok, looking down at the ship.

“The mana that I first felt belonged to the Witchbeast was originally from this ship. I was mistaken because it was an overly primitive idea.”

When a powerful demon or superhuman dies, it is natural that the magic power remains in the corpse, but the magic power that has undergone a huge change called death is bound to change to some extent immediately after death.

However, the magical power that Lennok thought belonged to the Witchbeast did not change at all even after the head was blown off.

Through him, Lennok realized that there was something quite unusual among the items swallowed by the Witchbeast.

Something so intense and special that Lennok’s senses caught him before the magic of the living witch beast.

“I can see why the Church was holding out in the middle of a swamp like this.”

Lennok saw the image of a praying woman engraved on the exterior of the ham.

“I needed strength to retrieve this object that was swallowed by the Witchbeast. Is that why you tried to use human sacrifice to provide a means?”

[I mean, it’s a treasure that crazy organisms want to get back no matter what.]

Darby waggled his tail excitedly.

[Let’s open it right away!]

“… … .”

However, as Lennok just said, there is a high possibility that demon beasts will come here in a little while.

Knowing that, is it worth opening this up right here?

It might be better to risk the consumption of mana and carry it to an uninhabited place, or leave it behind.

“… … good. Let’s open it.”

However, Lennok put aside such thoughts and immediately began pouring magic power over the door of the ship.

It’s inefficient to carry it around unless you know how far you’ll have to travel to get out of the swamp.

It would be better to check the contents here and see if you can carry it or not.

Charreureuk!!

There was a considerable level of locking on the door of the locker, but Lennok knew it and did not hesitate.

Lennok’s particle-level magic manipulation and intuition that reached a transcendental level.

If you have the magical power of an archmage, you can break quite a few spells with frontal force.

supportive… … !!

Without bothering to analyze the system, the part that supplies the power of the formula is blocked by mana and forcibly replaced with the structure of the original formula.

That alone distorts the formula itself, and the basic principle becomes ambiguous, taking advantage of the gap and immediately replacing the formula with Lennok’s will.

Paaang!!

With a light ripple on the swampy lake, the lock breaks and the door swings open.

“good. Then, what is the treasure that the Church was trying to hide… … .”

Lennok’s words stopped as he peered into the locker.

Darby, too, immediately confirmed what appeared in front of him and was silent.

[…] … .]

“This… … .”

What existed in the storage box was not an artifact or religious relic of the church.

The corpse of a woman crouched in a prayer position.

A calm face with eyes closed while wearing an antique robe.

At first glance, it looked like a praying goddess engraved on the outer wall of the locker.

[hmm… … .]

After thinking for a while, Darby asked with difficulty.

[I think I opened it for no reason, should I just leave it as it is?]

The contents of the storage box look like something unusual is going on.

If the priests of the church were trying to recover it, the importance of this corpse would be enormous.

Maybe it was a secret that fanatics shouldn’t touch.

From Lennok’s point of view heading to Yorta, there was no need to be pursued by the Church by touching or retrieving it.

But Lennok didn’t even flinch at Darby’s suggestion, staring at the corpse’s face.

“It’s difficult… … .”

[Master?]

“Someone I know. That’s someone I’ve met as Victor.”

Lennok murmured, shaking his head quietly.

Because the figure of him dying peacefully in the form of prayer must have been a face in his memory.

“He was the one who tried to appease Tatiana at the outskirts of the Great Forest at the end of the Handbook Well incident. This is going to be a real problem.”

[…] … Yes?]

Only then did Davi, who can’t remember people’s faces, realize the meaning and ask back.

[Master, I can’t believe this organism… … .]

“There is only one high-ranking church member who can make others into apostles.”

Lennok said that and nodded.

He realized why the priests of the first church he had encountered were able to casually say that they were making apostles.

“The priestess of the Guido Church has died. If this fact is known to the outside world, it will be quite a headache.”

An official from the church who appeared in the final half of the handbook well incident and tried to persuade Tatiana Chiglet to become an apostle.

The highest-ranking member of the Church representing the will of the religious leader and the priest in charge of all ceremonies within the Church.

The body of the priestess Seina Naidri was abandoned somewhere in this unknown rough land.

“No. It’s not over yet.”

At that moment, the priestess, who had closed her eyes in prayer, slowly opened her mouth and let out words.

“If even this is the result of His arrangement, we will have to endure it.”
