The Medicine-Taking Genius Wizard Episode 940

Anathema (14)

“A new priestess of the church…”

A priestess of the church who inherited the name of Naidri and a new priest.

Does this mean that the priest herself, who was supposed to be at the headquarters of the religious order, was in a satellite city?

“It’s been a while since I ascended to the position of priestess, but it’s been a long time since I started engaging in outside activities.”

Ureka picked her ear in annoyance and said while blowing her finger.

“It took time to deal with the lack of authority that occurred both inside and outside the church after the former priestess died under Jinwa’s curse.”

“….”

“I cut off the heads of all the officials who were talking nonsense and fed the corpses to the apostles. Then what is this?”

Ureka smiled eeriely.

“It is now possible to put a leash on these poor martyrs who have become useless in the pantheon.”

We know that the personality and powers of priests passed down from generation to generation change slightly with each succession.

Even if that were the case, I wouldn’t have guessed that he would have awakened his supernormal abilities by beheading his fellow believers and using their corpses as food for his apostles.

The new priestess seemed to have a cruel disposition that could not even be compared to that of the previous generation that had been active so far.

“But I admit that even after doing this, I barely made up for it. Originally, I was planning to kill two or three people while Anathema finished the ritual…”

Ureka’s eyes narrowed as she looked at the satellite city where lightning flashed across the turbulent desert.

“This is what happened in the end. “I don’t like it.”

“Kiri, step back.”

At that moment, a sharp sword light flashed diagonally and Habaek landed in front of the priestess.

A miracle that appears as if the space is being torn apart by blades that even other superhumans watching cannot perceive.

The moment the blind man quickly broke through the boundaries of the other apostles who bowed their heads, turned towards the priestess and grabbed his sword.

Go go go go!!

Dozens of sword lights flew between the priestess and Habaek, scattering dazzling light.

Habaek can’t even clearly see the motion of pulling out his sword, and the priestess is fighting him with a long stone sword.

“Kyahahaha!!! “You want to give it a try?!”

But surprisingly, the priestess was continuing her attack and defense, facing Habaek’s swordplay head on even though she was wearing sloppy robes.

The moment he stood on the leopard’s head, rotated his body as if dancing, and swung the stone sword in his hand like a spear.

A heavy shock wave explodes, offsetting and deflecting Habaek’s sword strike.

Kwaaaang!!

The moment when I was about to insert the stone blade between the blurry twisting blades and grab it.

The blade, which was vibrating violently, accelerated and pierced the priestess’s shoulder as it slid between the stone walls.

Phew!!

Habaek’s blade seems to be accelerating by splitting time, tilting the balance of an even attack and defense.

In the meantime, the priestess’s response was to twist the path of the blade that was aiming for the heart and catch it with her shoulder.

However, not a single drop of blood came out between the pierced blades, and there was no pain on the priestess’s face.

Okay!!

The front paw of the tentacled crayfish that had bowed its head at the feet of the priestess burst open, spraying out sticky fluid.

“If you want to deal with me, playing around with a microcosm is not enough.”

The priestess whispered as she struck the stone blade between the blades.

“Do it right, old man. “Do you want to die here?”

“Is that possible?”

Habaek, holding his blades together between the stone plates, laughed while raising his magic power.

“But don’t you think there are too many people in the audience for me to dance ugly alone?”

At that moment, the metal sphere with the giant centipede’s body hanging from the other side of the desert rotated violently and approached the priestess.

[Be careful Azlan. This person is manipulating the crazy apostles as he pleases.]

Olynik said, rotating the metal sphere and massaging his shoulders.

[If converted to hierarchy, it would be a tamer of level 8 or higher. Considering the cult leader’s protection, it might be more than that. I will block the way here.]

“Ah, he was the guy who worked with metal. “For despite his funny appearance, he fights well.”

[I’m sorry, but I don’t think it would taste good even if I were to throw it to the apostles as food.]

Olynik did not lose and answered slyly.

[Please ask the others first.]

“It’s a boring joke. “If you were one of my followers, I would cut off your ankles right here.”

[….]

Flap!!

Immediately after, a loud noise exploded from the other side of the desert, and huge black wings rose.

The wide spread wings are so huge that it is difficult to see the being with the wings spread out.

As the bony wing wings flutter, hundreds of feathers flutter across the desert sky.

A wave of black light spread out like a circular ring and crushed the apostle who bowed his head at the feet of the priestess.

Ureka also smiled as if she immediately sensed the presence of the other person.

“Are they a family of mediators?”

Gigi Gigi Geek!!!

The pressure was so great that it suddenly exploded the head of the snow leopard that the priestess was riding.

However, there is not a single scratch on Ureka Naidry’s body as she stands on top of him.

The moment the leopard, whose head was crushed and brain fluid dripping, fell to his knees on the spot.

A man with black hair and red eyes fell from the sky and landed on the desert sand.

thud!!

“Slaine…!!”

Feisha twisted her mouth and called his name in annoyance.

Ureka, too, seemed to have been aware of Slaine’s presence long ago and smiled languidly.

“That’s annoying. This is why I don’t want to fight with non-human species. “No matter what you do, it will only make the fight a blur.”

“Azlan. “Greaseburn.”

Slaine, who instantly folded the black wings spread over his head and disappeared, ignored Ureka and turned his head.

“You’re alive. “Did the lightning take care of Anathema?”

“This damn bastard…!!!”

Feisha growled and cursed.

“Why is the guy who led Anathema’s incarnation talking like it’s someone else’s business!!!”

“It’s a pointless point when the church’s priestess intervenes.”

Slaine said without blinking at Feisha’s murderous words.

“Even considering that Anathema’s incarnation was planned in advance, the process of becoming apostle was abnormally fast.”

“what?”

“I was wondering how the exiled Anathema completed the apostle selection ceremony in advance, and the answer was right in front of me.”

The priestess’s mocking expression was clearly visible in his bright red eyes.

“I never would have thought that the church’s priestess herself would have arrived in the satellite city and performed the selection ceremony on her behalf.”

“Why are you scared?”

“I heard rumors that the new priestess is a hardliner who cannot be compared to the previous one, but don’t you think this incident is too reckless?”

Slaine asked, slowly relaxing his shoulders.

“If it becomes known that the highest priest of the church is not in the headquarters, there will be one or two branches that will be immediately attacked.”

“doesn’t care. “What I need is authority, not talent.”

“…What do you mean?”

“When he selects a voice, he wants the talent that is most needed in the church at that time.”

Ureka sneered.

“Killing non-believers who do not follow the doctrine, cutting off the heads of rebellious believers, and manipulating apostles who have become beasts to reach the end.”

Kwaaaaaaaaaa!!!

Ureka, with her back turned to Olynyk and the Habaek superpower Geohan, approaching from a distance, spread her arms wide.

“It’s like saying that everything I do is needed by the church, so why would I hesitate?”

“….”

said the priestess, looking at the humans with narrowed eyes.

“If you understand, just get it out of the way. “I have so much to do besides dealing with non-believers.”

“…That doesn’t make sense.”

Innocence adjusted the window with a strange expression.

Slam!!

“If the goal was to stall time for Anathema’s corruption, we wouldn’t be seeing Ethanok anymore.”

“I have been preparing for this plan for a very long time.”

The expression on the priestess’s face as she said that was twisted as if she was very uncomfortable.

“I don’t like it to end like this, but if he wants it, I have no choice but to follow it, right?”

“….”

In the first place, the priestess had no intention of explaining her purpose here.

No, maybe her goal from the beginning wasn’t to keep other superhumans on their toes.

When Innocence realized that fact, he immediately repaired the worn spear holder.

“Then I guess I can’t allow it any more. “There must be a wizard there who has just finished a fight and is catching his breath.”

“….”

“Go through me first. At the very least, for the sake of the tower owner’s safety, you must respond until the end-”

[Azlan.]

Lennok’s battle cry rang in Innocence’s ears, and his touch stopped.

The other superhumans who were naturally trying to distance themselves also lifted their gaze upon hearing Lennok’s words.

Lennok said quietly.

[Send it to me.]

Woooo!!

Yukhapjeonseong, which conveys intentions by resonating the magical energy in the air.

The moment when even the priestess’s expression changed strangely at the skill of using a skill that was said to be difficult to use even right in front of her, with a city in between.

“The tower owner, but-”

[I know the priestess of the church.]

Lennok laughed.

[I want to see what kind of person the next successor will be.]

“….”

Lennok’s answer as if he knew the priestess well changed the surrounding atmosphere strangely.

Since the person who killed Anathema could not have colluded with the church, it would mean that he had contact with the priestess in some other way.

But the most surprising thing was that Ureka showed no particular reaction to Lennok’s words disparaging the priestess.

“….”

He slightly tilted his head back in response to Lennok’s answer, but just waited for the answer with an expressionless face.

Those with keen eyesight knew that she was hiding her reaction on purpose, but they were not given time to observe for long.

Innocence, who had been crying silently, eventually opened the way at the same time as he withdrew his spear.

“Loyalty is good.”

Ureka, who regenerated the leopard’s head and climbed on top of it, looked back and smiled at its innocence.

“It is rare to replace a dog that transcends hierarchy and yet listens well. “I want to bring one to the church’s headquarters.”

“…Lord Anathema was a person of character who thought of civilians first even during the civil war that decided the fate of the city.”

Innocence answered with his eyes closed.

“It’s just a shame that such a great warrior made that choice.”

“That’s the difference between us and you.”

The priestess sneered.

“Anathema only accepted the difference late. “Don’t you know yet that he was wise?”

“….”

The image of the priestess instantly passes by innocently and disappears beyond the ruins.

“Try not to understand and sympathize until the end. “It doesn’t really matter now, right?”

The other apostles who were bowing their heads around him disappeared by digging into the white sand below.

The giant monsters that filled the outskirts of Etanok quickly left and the desert became quiet.

“The new priestess of the church… “I don’t know how things work.”

Habaek sighed as he slowly brushed away the blade dripping with Sado’s bodily fluids.

“Apart from Anathema’s plan and collusion with the church, there seems to be more secrets at the meeting.”

“That’s because you traitorous bastards had no intention of fighting the church properly from the beginning.”

Feisha sat down against the collapsed wall and sneered.

His shining eyes looked back at the superhumans standing in all directions.

“You said you were stranded by a priestess, but you actually had no intention of dealing with Anathema.”

“….”

“I guess he dealt with the apostles who became his pet pigs appropriately and waited for the matter to end one way or another. “Am I wrong?”

Although the priestess declared a sanctuary outside the city and said that she had bound their feet with an apostle who had lost her intelligence.

Among those gathered here, was there truly anyone who was unable to resist the pursuit?

[Hehe, you’re not wrong.]

Kiriya crossed his arms with an expressionless face and Olynik burst into laughter.

[But you also have to understand. Even though it ended like this, wasn’t it a strange fight no matter who won in the end?]

“What?”

[Anathema was a powerful person who was praised as a hero who turned the tables even during the civil war. It was even evaluated that there was no one who could follow that judgment in large-scale superhuman battles.]

Olynyk said, stroking the spinning sphere above his head like a chin.

[At the point when Anathema, who was competing with Gilleon, became an apostle, who could have made the decision to ignore the priestess and go alone to help Lightning?] “….” [You should be thankful for Lightning’s

excellence

. . Not only did he fight Anathema while dragging a body that was barely able to walk, but he even won in the end…]

There was a faint admiration that couldn’t be hidden in Olynyk’s voice as he said that.

[I wonder if there has been a talent that shines under adverse conditions as much as that man since this city was founded. In that respect, I think I can dare to say that he is better than Kaise.]

“Don’t laugh… you’re such a bastard that you’re saying things that don’t even make sense…!!”

Feisha’s expression was distorted miserably and she was about to stand up with her magic power raised.

[No, you know that too.]

Olynyk snapped his fingers and immediately pressed down on Feisha’s body.

Kwaaaa!!

“Tsk…!!”

The art of extracting iron sand from under white sand, coagulating it, and crushing it into the shape of a huge bell.

Deflection and shaping control and manipulation of metal particles. All of the processes are processed and completed within the consciousness and built into reality.

Clearly, Olynik is also an extremely skilled magician who is accustomed to fighting as if he were breathing.

[The reason why you risked your life without hesitation in a battle of great odds. You must be feeling it in your heart.]

Olynik said as he looked at Feisha, who had already used up all her strength and was struggling, unable to stand up.

[There is also trust that can be gained by experiencing it first-hand. It would be nice if a thousand times were not like you.]

“Ha…!! “Standing back and acting proud…!!”

Even as she struggled under the bell, Feisha smiled a creepy smile.

“Even if I get torn to death by that wizard’s lightning someday… let’s see if that bullshit comes out.”

[If only force was the standard in this world, Ban Gung would have shattered the sky and succeeded in ascending to heaven a long time ago.]

Olynik looked away with his back turned.

At the end of that line of sight was Slaine, staring at the spot where the priestess had disappeared with an expressionless face.

[I just want to see something a little different.]

* * *

Gooooo…!!

Early morning. The sky is just beginning to dawn.

As the temperature changed, a chilly wind blew and swept through the ruins near the shattered satellite city.

The acrid sand was mixed with the wind and scattered, and the tingling lingering scent of a thunderbolt flowed across my skin and stung my cheek.

The presence of the Six Apostle Armas von Anathema has completely disappeared.

Even the brilliance of lightning that changes night and day has dispersed beyond the dawn sky.

Only the aftermath of the fierce battle that took place all night remains, revealing just how intense the fight was.

Ureka Naidry was walking alone through the ruined streets of the satellite city.

Jerk.

Neither the leopard that faithfully supported her beneath her feet nor the apostles that followed her are anywhere.

He uses a long stone pole as a walking stick to support the ground and walks with his colorful robes fluttering in the wind.

However, her face, which had always been full of sharp cynicism, was expressionless as if all emotions had been erased at this moment.

It was as if the emotions boiling inside had been forced to calm down.

widely!

The priestess who was walking in the middle of the ruins stopped in front of a wide hill that had been split in half.

At the end of the peak, only traces remain, as if a huge mountain had been hit by lightning and burned down.

A man was sitting with his head down.

“….”

Tangled hair. Dusty coat. The hem of the clothes was torn and bruised.

A messy figure sitting down with half-burned tobacco in his mouth and his eyes closed.

However, the body of the apostle lying with his head down behind him proves what happened here.

Wow!!

A gigantic lightning strike, nearly several meters long, struck and flashed above the corpse, which was a bizarre mixture of the shapes of a mountain goat and a human being.

It’s just scattering intense lightning as if a tombstone was erected over the body of an apostle.

It’s going to fall out!!!!

Even after Anathema’s mind and body are burned, the lightning that falls on her body continues to burn without disappearing.

A truly outrageous sight where one’s own magic was placed and displayed on the corpse of an apostle as if to show off.

“….”

Even though he single-handedly defeated the highest-ranking apostle of the church, there was not a single serious wound on his body.

Even though a small town was uprooted and burned, there was no wavering in the magical power and intent flowing through the body.

Clearly, this is the lightning magician who has been stigmatized as the highest-ranking risk factor within the church.

It must be the power of a monster that is considered the closest to being qualified to challenge for ascension among level 8 archmages.

Due to the overwhelming intimidation, even the priestess could not easily approach and only frowned in displeasure.

“Rise up, unbeliever.”

widely!

At the same time the priestess lightly knocked on the stone table, Lennok slowly opened his eyes.

“She is a non-believer…”

Lennok, who was blankly looking at her face while exhaling smoke, smiled bitterly.

“It looks like this generation’s priestess has quite a rough mouth.”

“Do you want to act territorial just because you knew the former priestess?”

Ureka laughed sharply and let out a sharp voice.

“It looks like you are having a bad sleep after killing his apostle. “I don’t have a withdrawn personality like other priestesses.”

“….”

“But I will admit that Salseong killed Anathema without hesitation despite knowing the meaning of her name.”

The priestess who was looking at the corpse of the apostle lying behind Lennok asked mockingly.

“I may have missed an opportunity that will never come again, are you okay?”

“Does not matter. “Because Anathema did not exist in reality when the project failed.”

Lennok answered with an expressionless face.

“It’s hard to believe that Anathema, who was expelled from the central city, would know much. I guess he didn’t have much to say to me in the first place. Rather, if you ask me…”

Lennok laughed, pointing to the corpse lying behind him.

“Isn’t Anathema’s value in this corpse?”

“….”

The reason why Oliveira wanted a part of Anathema’s body rather than Anathema herself.

The reason why the priestess came to this place where Anathema’s body was located.

Lennok had guessed where the value of Anathema’s name was from the moment he discovered her secret.

That is why, even after gaining his trust, they did not carelessly touch his body and placed a thunderbolt tombstone on top of his body to show it off.

Lennok slowly stood up, leaving the priestess silent with a cold expression.

“If that’s all you have to say, let’s just walk. “Even if I don’t, I’m a little tired from the conversation just now.”

“Haha, you’re saying that by hanging up Anathema’s body for show?”

“….”

“If it weren’t for what happened today, we wouldn’t have met like this.”

Ureka smiled coldly at Lennok and immediately turned her back.

“Follow me. I am going to declare a sanctuary to receive Him.”
