Genius Wizard Takes Medicine [EN]: Chapter 587

The moment Davi looked at the monkey sorcerer, ready to leap out and draw upon his magic power, the elephant spirit, whose neck was severed, took a step forward, standing blankly.

*Thud!*

[Baa?]

Davi tilted his head, seeing the elephant spirit’s corpse still standing with its neck severed, and swallowed hard.

Lenox, ensuring his words wouldn’t reach the other students or sorcerers, pulled Davi into his arms and spoke quickly.

“It’s a spirit summoned by a dead caster, so it never had reason or intelligence. It stopped because it was surprised by the sudden shock, but it will keep moving even after losing its head.”

[I, I see.]

Lenox stretched the cheeks of the cybernetic spirit, who was still puffing out his nose, excited at the chance to shine, and whispered.

“That sorcerer wearing the monkey mask doesn’t know the elephant is dead yet. So, we’re going to deal with the elephant corpse and that sorcerer as quickly as possible so the students don’t get hurt. Got it?”

[Ready!!]

“Good.”

Lenox threw Davi, whom he was holding, high into the sky.

At the same time, a huge lightning bolt erupted from the baby fox’s body, soaring upwards, then became a single, massive lightning strike that plunged straight into the headless elephant’s torso.

*Fzzzzzzzt!*

Intense lightning filled the courtyard of the collapsed lecture hall.

The other students, forgetting to chant Davi’s name at the sight of the huge pillar of thunder, gaped.

The monkey mask, who had been watching with his chin propped up, jumped up from his seat.

*Hooeeeerrrr…!!*

With a strange groan, the elephant spirit’s body, unable to withstand the lightning’s power, began to disappear. The spirit’s body, burned, torn, and evaporated, became tattered, revealing bones and flesh, bleeding profusely before fading away.

The sorcerer didn’t appear until the spirit had completely vanished.

Only then did the monkey realize something was wrong with the sorcerer wearing the elephant mask, and he glared at the students, emitting a murderous aura.

[Damn it, so two of them were already taken out. Then this side…!!]

[Taat!!]

A flash of bright blue lightning from beyond the burning, disappearing elephant’s body.

Davi’s body, surrounded by blazing lightning, flew in a straight line, charging directly towards the monkey.

*Whoosh!*

If the monkey dodged, the magic circle behind him would be the target.

Realizing he couldn’t dodge, the monkey gritted his teeth, drew up his magic power, and began to form hand seals.

[Don’t you dare, you little spirit…!!]

*Crunch!*

As the monkey used his magic, dozens of crooked, hairy hands rose from beneath his feet, forming a barrier. It was as if he was summoning monkey hands to use as a shield.

Was he planning to block Davi’s attack? Judging by the shape of the hands, he was even considering subduing and capturing Davi.

However, Lenox, noticing the monkey’s intentions, didn’t withdraw his magic power; instead, he increased Davi’s charging speed.

“Davi, let’s smash through it.”

[Body slam!!]

The baby fox, surrounded by electrifying lightning, became a sharp lightning spear and crashed through the monkey hand barrier. It pierced through the barrier, which was wriggling like a living creature, and struck the sorcerer wearing the monkey mask in the abdomen.

*Crackle!*

[Kuaaaak!!]

The monkey couldn’t help but scream and was thrown back, crashing to the ground. The magic circle behind him was severely damaged, and the people being offered as sacrifices were released.

“Ugh…!!”

“W, where are we…?”

“Quickly, come this way!”

The students quickly rescued the school officials who had regained consciousness and moved them back.

Priscilla grabbed the shoulders of the other students and hurriedly pushed them inside the lecture hall.

“The self-repair magic circle built into the lecture hall will start working soon. You might get swept away if you stay here!!”

The Lavatenon Magic University was a facility created to train magicians and the most powerful educational institution directly invested in by the city government.

Naturally, the magic circles and high-grade catalysts used for the maintenance and security of the buildings were comparable to a decent city’s budget.

The barrier outside the university didn’t work against the strange god’s invasion, but the lecture hall buildings’ functions should still be active.

*Rumble!*

As Priscilla said, the lecture hall buildings that had collapsed began to rise, reattaching the broken sections. The corridor, crushed by Davi’s body slam, shook violently, and the ground swayed.

The sorcerer, clutching his abdomen, stood up with difficulty and threw off the monkey mask.

“Kkeueueuek… Damn it!!”

With just one body slam from Davi, imbued with electric magic, his internal organs were crushed, and his skin was festering and bursting.

The sorcerer, who took out a plant leaf from his pocket and quickly began to chew on it, looked like a young man.

“A narcotic anesthetic. Is that something made by extracting leaves from that type of plant?” Lenox asked, reaching out to Davi, who was jumping around in the air.

Lenox, with a spirit emitting dazzling electricity on his shoulder, blocked the sorcerer’s path.

The sorcerer quickly chewed the leaf and frowned, his face relieved of pain.

“You killed the elephant… Then you must have killed the pig too, right?”

Without waiting for Lenox’s answer, the sorcerer held out the monkey mask.

“You tried to lure me into complacency and ambush me by using a young spirit, but I won’t fall for it…!!”

With one hand, he continuously formed hand seals, and with the other, he shoved the blood flowing from his abdomen into the monkey’s head.

At that moment, the dead monkey mask’s head began to laugh, chirping as if alive, drinking the sorcerer’s blood.

*Ooki gigigi!!*

As a body grew from below the monkey mask’s neck, it transformed into a human-sized spirit and stood in front of the sorcerer. The monkey spirit, covered in blood, stood hunched over, licking the blood dripping from its fingertips.

Unlike the elephant spirit, which had lost its reason and was running wild, it seemed to have its judgment intact, and it was just looking at Davi with a strange smile.

The sorcerer, too, seemed to have suppressed the pain by chewing the anesthetic, and he glared at Lenox with a sticky gaze filled with murderous intent.

“If it’s a head-on battle between spirits, there’s no way I can lose…!!”

“We don’t have much time,” Lenox said, glancing at the lecture hall where the students had hidden, nodding his head.

Cassia’s presence was not visible among them. She was probably staying behind with the leopard to buy time for the other students.

Lenox grabbed Davi’s body again, throwing him high above his head.

“Since I don’t have to deal with just you, let’s start quickly.”

“You arrogant bastard, just because you wrote a few good papers, do you think you’re good at fighting too!!”

As the sorcerer gritted his teeth and formed hand seals, the blood that had fallen from the monkey’s hands solidified into two spears. The monkey, holding two dark red spears and bending over, charged towards Lenox, and in response, Davi, who had risen above his head, unleashed his electric magic with all his might.

*Wham! Wham! Wham!*

In the corridor where small lightning bolts rained down, the monkey swung its body as if dancing, sticking to the walls. The monkey, who had climbed the wall, holding one spear in its mouth and the other in its tail, fell upside down from above Lenox’s head.

*Ooki kit!!*

With a strange laugh, the spear held by its tail was aimed at Davi, and the spear held in its mouth pierced towards Lenox’s neck.

The moment it seemed to have pierced through, the shaft of the spear, made of blood, exploded, scattering blood all over the corridor.

*Whoooosh!*

The corridor, being restored by the repair magic, collapsed again, repeating the cycle of being repaired and destroyed.

Lenox’s corpse, with a spear shaft piercing his neck, died. However, that figure soon disappeared as if blurring with a faint current, and then Lenox, unharmed, walked out from behind it, rubbing his neck.

“Davi, it would have been dangerous if you were a little late. You know that, right?”

[I’m sorry, the calculation of the output recoil was much more difficult than I thought…!!]

It wasn’t for nothing that he was using Davi as a medium to execute electric magic. To resolve this situation while maintaining Evan Bailon’s identity, he had to use spirit magic, which was already known as Evan’s power.

Davi was a spirit directly created by Lenox, and he was the only medium who could stay by his side 24 hours a day and use his magic power instead. Therefore, Lenox was supporting Davi by supplying him with magic power, allowing the spirit to use electric magic directly.

However, even with Davi’s powerful algorithm and the cybernetic spirit’s calculation ability, he was having difficulty understanding and using Lenox’s magic. It was one thing to emit a strong output, but he was still unable to keep up with Lenox’s senses in the delicate control part.

The sorcerer also immediately noticed Davi’s problem and sneered.

“Ha, as expected, it was just a spirit with strong output but no experience. Well, considering that it uses primitive combat methods like body slams, its intelligence and ability are obvious!!”

[…!!]

Davi, shutting his mouth tightly at the sorcerer’s provocation, scattered lightning once more. The monkey spirit, as if waiting for it, dodged the lightning and launched a sharp attack on Lenox again.

*Clang! Clang! Clang!*

The lightning barrier that Davi had deployed quickly blocked the spear blades, but it couldn’t stop the blood that splattered everywhere from cutting Lenox’s skin.

[Master!!]

“Davi, don’t panic. We knew he was a tricky opponent, right?”

Unlike the elephant, which was just large, the monkey spirit was similar in form to a human. Moreover, it had the intelligence and combat experience to use weapons. It was clear that it was a spirit specialized in one-on-one combat.

Furthermore, unlike the sorcerer, who had his own combat power and moved even after summoning the spirit, Davi had to protect Lenox while also dealing with the monkey. None of it was easy.

In fact, he had to entrust this situation to Davi’s judgment and combat ability, but Lenox didn’t waver. He simply hugged the trembling baby fox lightly and stroked its head.

“If we meet the conditions, we can activate it enough. Just do as we practiced.”

*Clang! Clang! Clang!!!*

Even in the midst of this, the two spears wielded by the monkey were drawing red trajectories in front of him, circling to take his life. Even as the aftermath caused scratches all over Lenox’s skin, he didn’t panic.

Rather, the sorcerer, who had been preparing for any possible situation behind the monkey spirit, even had his eyes light up.

“For a bookworm who stays cooped up in the lab, you’re unbelievably calm. Or are you just so scared that you’ve completely lost it?”

“Let’s start together, one by one. I’m ready.”

[Hoo…]

At Lenox’s calm voice, Davi’s trembling body began to calm down quietly. The four tails of the fox spirit, whose body was held in both hands, drooped down as if they were falling.

As Davi closed his eyes and began to concentrate, the electromagnetic field emanating from his body scanned all the surrounding scenery and converted it into data, which was then drawn in the cybernetic spirit’s mind. The monkey spirit was moving restlessly from all directions, desperately trying to break through the electric barrier. The strange god’s sorcerer was preparing to use additional magic at any moment from behind. The existence of other enemies who were performing similar rituals to the monkey sorcerer in various parts of the Lavatenon University grounds even at this moment. And even the clear presence of the students who were anxiously watching Lenox and Davi from behind the lecture hall.

[…]

The Master was a human who was uniquely superior to any other organic being the spirit knew. His heaven-sent talent and intellect, his judgment and the size of his heart. There was nothing that he could ever catch up to, and even Davi himself, who had observed countless organic beings, had never dared to think about it.

But even so, the image of Lenox that first came to Davi’s mind, who had watched Lenox the closest, was not that of a genius who relied on his innate talent and vessel, but that of a wanderer who never stopped walking for even a single moment. It was the product of the agony of living in a different time, always searching for better methods and means.

Who was it that taught him that even the most brilliant raw gem could not shine without the effort and desire that matched it?

All the time that Davi himself had been striving to become better than yesterday, following the path that Lenox had walked, was here with him.

He could do it. He had been striving until now to be a part of all the efforts he had made together, and a part of the result.

Lenox had never once demanded more than what the spirit was prepared for, but conversely, he had always given the spirit more affection and care than it had expected and hoped for. Now it was time to respond to that.

The power of the cybernetic spirit, manipulating the cybernetic space and creating algorithms to intervene in reality.

Davi’s third unique algorithm to realize that ability in reality.

[Auto-Combat Algorithm: Spirit Combat Pattern Activated.]

*Whoosh!*

The flashing electricity around Davi’s body, which had fully accepted Lenox’s magic power, soon gathered in one place and transformed into a transparent flame-like shape. The flames rotating around Davi’s body increased to three, rotating like satellites, drawing an elliptical orbit.

The moment Lenox slowly released his hands, Davi’s body floated leisurely in the air without anyone’s help. The moment Davi’s eyes, surrounded by three flames, flashed with intense electrodes, the flames, neatly lined up in the air, simultaneously slammed down on the monkey’s head, instantly subduing its body and slamming it into the floor of the corridor.

*Thud!*

*Kieeeek!!*

Davi nodded his head as he watched the monkey wailing in pain.
