Genius Wizard Takes Medicine [EN]: Chapter 1008

The massive fiery flower, deployed in a way that completely surrounded the Long-Lived Species in all eight directions.

*Kugwagwagwagwagwa!!!!*

The length of each of the six petals alone was tens of meters.

The form of the massive fiery flower, with its petals closed, would look like a giant fireball hundreds of meters in size from the outside.

Only then did Sulju realize what Lenok had done, and he turned his gaze with a blank expression.

“I see. You deployed a self-generating domain to block the expansion of my territory?”

Beyond his indifferent gaze, with his mask pulled back, there was a faint hint of awe that even Sulju himself couldn’t hide.

“But even if it’s a Great Mage’s domain, this size and scale… its very existence is close to a strategic weapon.”

“…….”

“The domain itself is constructed as a barrier to increase its scale, functioning as a way to thoroughly ‘contain’. It seems you’ve increased its power by adding conditions and restrictions…”

The self-generating domain, achieved by completing the seven levels of self-modification, is a divine skill that embodies the caster’s mental image and alters reality.

However, the self-generating domain itself is not a barrier, nor is it a technique that divides or isolates space.

The Conjunction Master, upon seeing Lenok’s domain, immediately recognized that it had borrowed the principles of barrier magic and was deducing its capabilities.

“The fiery flower self-generating domain that decorated the end of the battle between Chunbeon and Gyeonroe. I’ve heard of it.”

Sulju, having made his judgment in an instant, turned his cold gaze back to Lenok.

“But in the end, it’s just an ability that was defeated in a domain battle against Gyeonroe. Are you trying to show me a mental image that has already been broken once?”

The fragrance of the flower from the heavens travels ten thousand miles.

The ability of the Ten Thousand Mile Fragrant Heavenly Flower is the pinnacle of a flame-heat self-generating domain that increases its power in proportion to the time the domain is deployed.

It is a miracle that powerfully depicts the mental image of a flame-heat mage, with preheating and expansion as its core.

However, because it requires time to fully bloom, it poses no threat immediately after the domain is deployed.

It is self-evident that the power drawn through such restrictions is overwhelmingly greater than other self-generating domains.

However, in the battle against Gyeonroe, it ultimately failed to properly demonstrate its power and was defeated.

The Conjunction Master was also openly pointing this out to Lenok.

“If you understand that my domain is a type of barrier magic, you should know.”

However, Lenok said, pointing to the sky where the self-generating domain was spread.

“This is a barrier to prevent your life domain from spreading throughout the Gate City. The moment your domain extends through cell proliferation, the flames of the Ten Thousand Mile Fragrant Heavenly Flower will incinerate the Long-Lived Species’ flesh.”

“So you’re confining my domain here and restricting time…”

The size of the Ten Thousand Mile Fragrant Heavenly Flower was so enormous that even the Conjunction Master was momentarily surprised.

However, if a self-generating domain is deployed on this scale, it will naturally take time for the domain to operate.

Moreover, if it is the Ten Thousand Mile Fragrant Heavenly Flower, which is based on preheating for activation, the time required for preheating itself will increase enormously.

The very purpose of deploying the self-generating domain was to limit the battlefield and prevent the damage from leaking out.

“At this point, where things have escalated this far, the other residents of the Gate City must be starting to notice something is wrong.”

Lenok, pointing to the barrier of the Ten Thousand Mile Fragrant Heavenly Flower with its petals closed, smiled.

“The search party must have started evacuating the citizens out of the city.”

“…….”

“If it’s to stop your ridiculous plan, I think either way has meaning, don’t you?”

“A problem that can’t be solved without killing the caster or breaking the domain… interesting.”

Sulju smiled and slowly spread his arms.

*Jjeojeojeojeok!!*

At the same time, the walls of the operating room cracked from all sides, and chimeras of all sorts of bizarre shapes popped out.

[Kuhahaaak……!!]

[Kuruk, kururuk……!!]

A muscular giant with a cow’s head. A huge fatso with a pig’s head.

The chimeras, with large physiques and weapons, looked like they were made by modifying physical ability users and beastmen.

“But trying to fight me while deploying a domain that doesn’t immediately help in battle is just arrogance.”

The Conjunction Master, standing behind such chimera warriors, stared coldly at Lenok.

“Even if you have a lot of magic power, wasting your strength like that to protect the Gate City… it’s utterly foolish.”

“…….”

“You’re not going to answer? Well, fine.”

Sulju, lightly gesturing towards the floor, adjusted his half-fallen surgical cap and began to draw up his magic power.

“From now on, let’s go all out.”

*Jjeoeok!!*

The floor of the operating room where Lenok and the chimeras were standing cracked open, instantly swallowing everyone.

Lenok and Sulju’s figures fell into the depths of the operating room made of flesh.

The moment Lenok and Sulju’s hands, with flames rising, crossed in the air.

The chimera warriors, running vertically along the walls, charged at Lenok all at once.

[Kieeeek!!]

[Hwaaaa!!]

The blades and teeth made by modifying arms, and the spears, were filled with clear magic power.

Combat chimera warriors. They skillfully used magic power to enhance their bodies and followed closely.

*Kwagwagwagwagwang!!!!*

Sharp slashes and heavy blunt weapons drew eerie trajectories, smashing the inner walls of the life domain.

Flesh burst, blood gushed out from all sides, and fluids poured out.

While falling below the domain, the chimeras struck dozens of powerful blows in a fleeting moment.

However, Lenok also quickly flipped his body in the midst of the relentless murderous trajectories.

He used the remaining Creation Barrier like a shield to block the attacks, and for attacks he could avoid, he detonated flames to maneuver in the air.

He melted his thoughts into the countless flames embroidered in the air and resonated them simultaneously.

[Red Construction]

[Wave Fire Resonance]

*Peobeobeobeobeobeong!!!!*

Following Lenok’s falling figure, countless afterimages of flames spread out vertically, burning the chimera warriors.

Among the monsters wailing in pain, a chimera that looked like a giant snake appeared and rammed into Lenok as if to pierce him.

*Sswaeeek!!*

The impact sent Lenok’s body flying sideways, and he fell as if pushed into one side of the vast corridor.

A dark corridor filled with damp moisture. Unable to withstand the impact, he fell, and a stinging pain was felt along his back.

*Chiiik!!*

Lenok, who had inadvertently placed one hand on the floor, hardened his face at the intense acid that was penetrating the barrier.

“Gastric acid?”

The life domain that had become a living Long-Lived Species. Inside it, the insides of the esophagus and stomach were being created in real-time.

The moment he realized that all the liquid splashing under his feet was an acidic solution that would instantly melt a human.

[Reverse Gravity]

*Uuuuuung!!!*

Once again, reverse gravity was applied to the entire space, and the acidic solution under his feet shot upwards.

In the fleeting moment when he was evaporating the gastric acid by creating flames, a chimera wielding a hammer struck Lenok’s stomach.

*Kwaaang!!*

He concentrated magic power in his stomach to withstand the attack, and as he was pushed back, he crushed the chimera’s head.

The moment Lenok’s body was pushed back, eerie ice mirrors floated up from all sides and emitted light.

[Frost Extending Winter Mirror]

*Jjeoeoong!!*

“……!!!”

The ice mirrors resonated, emitting a cold so intense that it froze the surrounding space.

A power so strong that the gastric acid and blood that were splashing from all sides froze in mid-air.

Lenok, realizing that the power of the spell was unusual, raised his gaze and glared at the far side of the chamber.

“Chimeras made using powerful superhumans as materials. You were still hoarding more, as expected.”

“Chimeras above level 5 are difficult to make and die quickly, so they’re hard to store for long. Most of them were kept in a state of suspended animation by freezing them…”

Sulju said, walking out while crushing the chimera he was holding in one hand.

“Your spell resistance far exceeded the level I had anticipated, so I realized that this method was the best way to create an opening.”

“…….”

*Jjeoeoeop!!!*

With the sound of flesh opening and closing, dozens of chimeras floated above Sulju’s head.

They were hideous masses of flesh that had no trace of their human forms, leaving only the arms and mouths to chant spells.

The moment Sulju snapped his fingers while looking down at Lenok, the chimeras, with their hands clasped together, began chanting in unison.

And dozens of different magic powers began to rage from all sides above the frozen corridor.

*Kiiiiiiing!!!!*

*Eujijijik!!*

“To erode your nerves and mental strength and make you reach your limit, this method is ultimately the best.”

Sulju said, with his hands clasped together, amidst the radiance of magic power that was glowing from all sides.

“While deploying your self-generating domain, let’s see how far you can endure on your own?”

*Kugwagwagwagwa!!!*

Amidst the rain of splashing gastric acid, the chimeras rushed in, disregarding death.

“Ha…”

Lenok, with a wry smile, grabbed the neck of the dead pig-headed chimera and stood up.

*Cheolbeok!!*

He stepped on the sticky gastric acid solution and looked up at the acidic rain falling from above and the chimera corpses.

Even at this moment, the spells being chanted and the chimera warriors rushing in, breathing heavily, before his eyes.

Beyond that, the Conjunction Master was watching Lenok and preparing a new spell.

He was throwing away high-level chimeras that even Lenok couldn’t ignore like consumables for a single battle.

He was waiting for cracks to appear in Lenok’s consciousness and domain, which had been like an iron wall until now.

A battle method befitting a caster who was a powerful superhuman himself and commanded countless chimeras.

“…….”

How could he ignore the endlessly spawning chimeras and kill Sulju?

The answer was already decided.

“…Wait.”

“Release start.”

The moment Sulju realized the premonition and hardened his face, Lenok, with his hands clasped together, chanted a spell.

*Hwareureuk!!*

Behind Lenok’s head, which was bowed low, a blazing star rose as if rotating.

Six magic power cores rotated like a halo behind Lenok’s head, emitting magic power.

Flame-Heat System Unique Magic

Nature Transformation Amplification Pinnacle

Red Star Realm: Solar Energy Zenith

A secret amplification technique that processes six [embers] into magic power cores to increase output.

The activation of the Red Star Realm, which had been saved until the very end even after countless battles since stepping onto the central front.

“Magic power…!!!!”

The magic power that exploded out explosively, to the point that even Sulju couldn’t hide his shock for a moment, surged like an ocean.

The amount of magic power that the six magic power cores were resonating and detonating was enough to fill half of the domain in an instant, surpassing this corridor.

*Hwareureureureuk!!*

The moment an immeasurable amount of power was imbued into the body of a flame-heat mage who had already finished preheating.

“I’m going.”

Lenok, with a red glint in his eyes, spread his hands and leaned forward.

Second Star: Arch Bow

[Crimson Eternity Arrival]

[Flying Manifestation]

*Kuhwaaaaak!!!*

The moment he took a step forward, the breath of flames surged from between the joints and muscles of his entire body.

It pushed Lenok’s body forward as if accelerating it.

*Paang!!*

Following Lenok’s figure, which disappeared at an invisible speed, the chimera casters completed their spells.

And countless spells rained down fiercely in the dark chamber.

[Curse Imposition: Weakening]

[Disruption Persistence: Sure Hit]

[Speed Imposition: Deceleration]

[Ice Formation]

[Branching Eruption]

[Magnetic Gravity Chain]

[Exclusion]

[Divine Weight]

……

*Dududududududu!!!!*

Attacking magic of fire and ice, gravity and earth attributes. All kinds of curses and mental waves, including weakening and disruption.

All kinds of debuffs that augmented the chimeras and pressed down on Lenok poured down in layers.

A barrage of spells with diverse powers and systems that changed so rapidly that it was difficult to distinguish them all.

However, Lenok’s figure, covered in flames, became a living sea of fire and incinerated everything.

*Kwagwagwagwagwagwa!!!!*

[Kkeueeeek!!]

[Kill, kill, me…!!!!]

He traversed through the chimera warriors who were roaring, cursing, and spewing resentment.

*Pajit!*

The moment he grabbed a weapon wielded by a chimera with his bare hand, the blade evaporated in Lenok’s hand.

The fire energy flickering in his hand exceeded its limit, reaching a level of magic power concentration that burned and erased matter.

*Hwook!!*

He passed by, back to back, and rotated the flames to explode.

Following Lenok, who was accelerating as if sliding, dozens of types of flames exploded, dazzlingly decorating the dark chamber.

*Peobeobeobeobeong!!!*

Sharp ice pillars shot up from under his feet, and a wooden golem fell from above, pressing down on Lenok.

A vortex of flames surged, and a fist of flames rose from behind Lenok, blocking the wooden golem.

[Kkiaaaak!!]

The piercing melody of curses. The curse of weakening pressing down on his shoulders. Acid rain that penetrated the barrier and melted his skin.

However, the breath that Lenok exhaled became the heat of hell, and his gestures transformed into wings of flame, erasing all those shackles and thoughts.

*Hwook!!*

When he stepped on and pressed down on the ax blade that was striking his shin, the thick blade melted into molten metal on the spot.

He grabbed the chimera warriors falling from above with his bare hands and tore them apart by adding flames.

*Kugwagwagwagwa!!!!!*

A flame mage who trampled and burned thousands of chimeras single-handedly, sprinting through the life domain.

He wore six stars on his entire body and wielded infinite kalpa flames along their orbits.

“Incredible…!!!”

Sulju, drawn by the intense pulsation of the flames, also drew up his magic power and stepped forward.

Sulju, who grabbed the exploding flames with one hand and extinguished them, accurately grabbed Lenok’s hand in the air.

Lenok and Sulju’s figures, who had soared while the Red Star Realm was activated, crossed the massive life domain diagonally.

They tore apart and burned dozens of inner walls located in between, passing through the main operating room, patient rooms, dissection rooms, and organ storage rooms at supersonic speed.

*Wajangchang!!!*

Having fought by leaping tens of meters across the domain, had they finally reached near the organ storage room?

A miserable scene with broken glass under their feet and dissected organs scattered everywhere.

[Oooooooo!!!!]

A giant gorilla chimera that popped out from one side of the domain clenched its hands and struck Lenok.

The gorilla chimera, whose breath was cut off at the same time as the attack. A strike that increased its power at the cost of suicide.

*Kwaang!!*

Lenok’s figure, swaying from the impact and momentarily losing his balance.

Sulju, who covered the surging flames as if embracing them with one hand, shouted with a glint in his eyes.

“Chunbeon. Is this why your alias is so ominous and ill-fated!!!”

A flame that tramples and burns everything it faces.

If the divine power he showed against Gyeonroe in Balkan was the same as now, it was understandable why Evan Martinez’s alias had spread so widely on the central front.

“An amplification secret technique that transcends the laws. An endless amount of magic power. Even the godlike sense that controls that output…!!!”

*Kkwaaak……!!*

Sulju, firmly gripping Lenok’s hand, said.

“Even if the entire Gate City is burned down, I can endure any loss if I can get my hands on you.”

“…….”

“It will take time, but the domain can be rebuilt at any time. But a ‘material’ like you will never appear again.”

The power of a Great Mage who incinerated and evaporated the chimeras that were endlessly spawning in the life domain.

However, even in the midst of that, Sulju did not miss the fact that Lenok’s magic power was rapidly being consumed.

Flame-heat magic is an attribute magic specialized in wide-area bombardment that increases its power as much as it is preheated.

However, every time it finishes preheating and increases its power and expands its range, the magic power consumed is also extreme.

The large amount of magic power consumed in the process of extracting the fragments of the barrier. The magic power and thoughts that were paid as a price for continuing to fight Sulju in succession.

No matter how powerful the amplification secret technique called Red Star Realm was, it was impossible to use such an ability for long while using a self-generating domain in parallel.

And at this moment, Sulju had a hunch that all of Lenok’s remaining power had reached its limit.

As proof, Sulju, who was in contact with Lenok, was not feeling any backlash from the spell at all.

“Has your talent finally bloomed completely in front of me?”

“…No.”

At that moment, an enormous heat began to be felt from within Lenok’s clenched fist.

An intense heat that would burn and evaporate Sulju’s arm, which was gripping Lenok’s fist, in an instant.

*Hwaaak!!*

There was not even time to take any proper action.

In front of Sulju’s eyes, whose arm had disappeared, Lenok slowly unfolded his hand, holding his clenched fist.

The moment he realized that a magic power core compressed to its limit was rotating in Lenok’s burning, distorted hand.

“Compression release.”

Red Star Realm: Solar Energy Zenith

[Six Gods’ Incineration]

It was a secret technique that borrowed the principle of Lenok’s favorite zero-range bombardment spell, Chukhwa [a spell that releases a concentrated blast of fire at point-blank range].

A divine skill that compresses the six magic power cores that make up the Red Star Realm to a size that can fit in one’s hand.

He hid it in his fist until the very end and poured the remaining magic power into Sulju’s body.

*Hwook!!!*

There was no answer.

The moment the flames of the Six Gods’ Incineration brushed past Sulju’s head, half of his right face was blown away.

At the last moment, Sulju somehow turned his head, but even that reaction was a step too late and only grazed him.

*Kwaaaaaaaaaa!!!!*

The Six Gods’ Incineration, which unfolded from his fingertips, pierced through half of Sulju’s body and extended tens of meters behind him.

The vast operating room corridor and ceiling cracked diagonally, burned, and disappeared, momentarily revealing the cloudy sky.

In the agony of his entire body being split in half, the Long-Lived Species trapped inside the barrier let out a mad scream and vibration.

[Aaaaaaaaak!!!]

“Kuh, ah…”

*Hwareureureuk!!!*

Sulju, with flames spreading all over his body, staggered and slowly retreated.

He was somehow maintaining his balance, but he would soon lose his strength and fall backward.

The moment Lenok was about to slowly withdraw his magic power while looking down at that figure.

*Kkiik!!*

Sulju, who had lost half of his head, put strength into his legs and stood straight.

“…No.”

“…!!!!”

Sulju, with only half of his head remaining, slowly raised his head.

“It’s not that I couldn’t avoid it.”

Above Sulju’s head, where his surgical cap had fallen off. The inside of the skull where the right brain should have been was empty.

It was not burned and disappeared by Lenok’s flames.

Even while half of his face was completely disappearing, the right hemisphere of his brain itself had not existed from the beginning.

“No way…!!!!!”

Using the fact that the inside of his right skull was empty, he had given up half of his body in a desperate gamble to make a move?

Rather than trying to completely avoid it, he had a crazy idea of giving up his right side from the beginning and making sure to save at least the remaining half.

But at that moment, what filled Lenok’s head was the reason why Sulju had ‘excised’ his right brain in advance.

The right brain that did not exist above Sulju’s head.

Jellyh’s left brain that was found in the operating room, and Jellyh’s right brain that was nowhere to be seen.

The moment all the confusions he had passed by in this life domain connected into one, piercing through Lenok’s mind.

*Jjeoeoeoeop!!*

The floor of the organ storage room cracked open, and a half-split, grayish-white ‘right brain’ popped out.

The moment he realized that it was the right brain of Michael Jellyh, which Lenok had not been able to find until now.

“Jellyh’s brain is not a chimera…!!!”

“Do you know what the principle that is prioritized in all the experiments and research I conduct is?”

Sulju, who had grabbed Jellyh’s right brain, smiled.

“It’s that I myself cannot be an exception to that rule.”

*Cheolbeok!!*
