Genius Wizard Takes Medicine [EN]: Chapter 1041

[A guided rotation of magical power, applying different directions of rotation to positive and negative charges.]

Crackle!!

Before Lenok’s eyes, two bolts of lightning rotated, chasing each other’s tails.

[The most outstanding construction in both worlds for the ability to compress and store lightning.]

Whoooom!!

Above the massive box of lightning, compressed lightning piled up layer by layer.

[Thunder Void (雷虛), imbued with the property of void, which has the most extreme inverse nature among all property changes.]

Whoooo……!!

A transparent, glass-like lightning bolt floated above his head, rotating silently.

It was precarious, as if it would shatter at any moment, yet it scattered an infinitely chilling coldness, a glass-colored lightning.

[Even the Immortal Lightning (仙雷), which drastically extends lifespan by processing bioelectricity with thought.]

Fzzzt……!!!

Above the pure white, glowing sanctuary sky, various lightning bolts trailed like shooting stars.

The distant scenery of the outer sea reflected above the sanctuary’s sky.

Each bolt of lightning illuminating the darkness was proof of the enlightenment and answers left by someone in this world.

As Lenok silently gazed at the scene, a high-pressure electric current resounded above his head.

[Because there is an enlightenment that precedes all worldly causality the moment lightning is grasped, it continues even beyond time and destruction.]

“……”

[To transcend the horizon of thought means a transcendent inspiration that shatters such cognition and speed.]

A giant lightning spear (雷槍), stuck diagonally in the center of the Thunder God Sanctuary, exuded a powerful presence.

The weapon, with its overwhelming size reaching tens of meters, scattered intense electric currents towards Lenok.

[The Thunder God Sanctuary is a miracle that symbolizes such a non-material wish itself.]

“Even if the worlds are different, if someone has mastered lightning, they will reach this place….”

Because there is an enlightenment that precedes time, the wisdom of transcendents who have reached the extreme is not cut off even beyond time and space.

The Thunder God Sanctuary was a hall where the knowledge and wisdom of mages who had reached the extreme and attained prescience flowed and gathered.

It was, in the truest sense, a symbol that proved that the origin of electric magic was not different in the three worlds.

The lightning that Akendrias El Thorben spoke of, standing at the forefront of his life.

Just as the Tower Lord had, and Lenok had.

If they had dreamed of the same thing across three worlds, then the reason for the existence of such a place was also understandable.

“It certainly seems that each one possesses a power that contains a great law.”

Lenok, who had been gazing at the glass lightning reaching the other side, turned his body.

“But I’m still more interested in something else than specific enlightenment or formulas.”

[…….]

Even in this immeasurable sanctuary of the Thunder God Sanctuary, the lightning spear existed with a particularly large and unique size.

A giant spear shaft reaching tens of meters, and the high-pressure thoughts that wrapped around it, extending out as if to press down on Lenok.

“A lightning with a will. The fact that it is a being that maintains its ego alone in this sanctuary is very interesting.”

[……Hmm.]

“I’ve heard of magical tools that possess an ego, but I’ve heard that it’s rare for them to be capable of such precise communication.”

Lenok said, looking up at the lightning spear.

“If it’s such a powerful enlightenment that it can maintain its will even after being engraved in the sanctuary, it must have a value beyond that.”

The sanctuary of the Thunder God Sanctuary, where pure white lightning intertwined and glowed.

The enlightenment of forcibly opening the door by overloading the war tower’s domain and entering.

But what Lenok wanted to take from this Thunder God Sanctuary was not another enlightenment or formula, but the giant lightning spear itself.

The lightning spear had explained the existence and power of the sanctuary, but Lenok’s thoughts had not changed.

[I knew there were many strange humans among those who engraved the causality of my lightning…]

The lightning spear, which had been silent after hearing Lenok’s words, retorted as if it was dumbfounded.

[It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a human who acts so recklessly even after hearing the explanation. Did you even listen to my explanation so far?]

“I understand that this space is a sanctuary for sorcerers who have gained enlightenment by mastering electric magic.”

Lenok nodded and looked up at the giant lightning spear.

“That’s probably because the phrase ‘transcending the horizon of thought’ means breaking through the ‘limits’ in a specific field of formulas.”

The civilization of this world is at a considerable level, but surprisingly, the technology for handling electricity itself is not that advanced.

Perhaps because of magic, the way electricity is used is at a similar level to the world Lenok lived in.

Transcending the horizon of thought is synonymous with opening a new horizon in lightning manipulation.

And Lenok was also aware of why he already had the qualification to enter the Thunder God Sanctuary.

‘Sand-borne Divine Lightning (沙上申雷).’

A single point of arrival that he had conceived in the battle with Kroken Acilus, even borrowing Davi’s calculation ability to discuss.

The lightning that reached the extreme of property change, completed in the battle with Peisha Grisburn, the 6th Apostle Anathema.

The core of Lenok’s unique electric-type magic.

The moment he bloomed Sand-borne Divine Lightning, Lenok had truly transcended the horizon of thought.

He knew that it was the reason why Tower Lord Thorben sought Lenok, and as a result, he was standing in this sanctuary.

[If you understand that far, you should also know why it is impossible.]

The electric current resonating through the spear shaft suddenly turned cold.

[I am not an object of enlightenment or prescience. Rather, I am an existence like a lingering attachment that has not been completed in that way.]

“……”

[Do you want the contradiction of grasping something that does not exist under the laws of this sanctuary, according to those laws?]

“I knew you weren’t just a guide to the sanctuary. You might not even have been a living being from the start.”

Lenok looked at the spear with a heavy gaze.

“But if your existence is particularly special even in this sanctuary, and if that was a result that you yourself wanted to accept….”

Lenok said, extending one hand towards the lightning spear.

“I want that contradiction itself.”

[…….]

The fact that the lightning spear that had spoken to Lenok was not a being that normally resided in the Thunder God Sanctuary.

But even though Lenok understood that, he tried to choose the lightning spear instead of the other enlightenment engraved in the sanctuary.

It was not just curiosity about a lightning with a will, but because he was seeing a value and otherness beyond that in that being.

Perhaps understanding Lenok’s firm will, the lightning spear fell silent.

Even the thunder that had been running through the sanctuary’s sky subsided, and a heavy silence took its place.

[To not bend your will even after understanding my words. You’re a human with poor hearing compared to your excellent insight…]

The lightning spear, which had let out a soft sigh, muttered.

[From the beginning, you had no intention of following the rules of the Thunder God Sanctuary.]

“……”

In front of Lenok, who did not answer, the giant spear began to vibrate slowly.

[Good. If you refuse the transcendence of this sanctuary and try to enforce an impossible choice, I have an idea.]

By inflating its own thoughts to the fullest, an overwhelming power filled the entire sanctuary with a magnificent roar.

The lightning spear, scattering pure white lightning, spoke as if looking down at Lenok.

[I will test for myself whether the enlightenment you have gained truly has the specialness to surpass the rules.]

“A test, huh.”

Lenok slowly loosened his shoulders and nodded.

From the moment he chose the talking lightning spear, he had vaguely thought that this might happen.

Rather than banishing Lenok from the sanctuary without question, the fact that it was going to test him was a good thing for Lenok.

“Not bad. So, from now on, I just need to show you something that will catch your eye?”

[The opportunity is once. The time limit is 3 minutes.]

The lightning spear said in a high-pressure tone.

[I will make it a principle to show and exchange each other’s formulas.]

“……Exchange, you say.”

Lenok frowned at the lightning spear’s answer for a moment.

No matter how he looked at it, the lightning spear did not seem to be in a form that could exchange formulas with Lenok.

“You’re not saying you’re going to directly slam my head with that spearhead, are you?”

[Hmph, don’t worry. Even if it’s not such a crude method-]

Crack!!

At that moment, the lightning that wrapped around the giant spear shaft blazed dazzlingly, covering the entire lightning spear in pure white.

From beyond the pure white light, a clear voice, not an electric current, resounded.

“There are plenty of ways to test you.”

“……!!!!”

In the place where the pure white lightning spear had been stuck, a woman with a flamboyant and luxurious appearance stood.

A majestic figure that seemed to be two or three heads taller than Lenok, easily exceeding 2 meters.

She wore countless rings on both hands, and several bracelets adorned with jewels hung on her forearms.

Necklaces and rosaries overlapped and swayed over her fluttering dragon robe (龍袍) [a traditional Chinese robe, often worn by emperors], and smooth silk shimmered beneath her feet.

But what was felt before such accessories was the overwhelming pressure that bloomed around the woman.

A fierce and arrogant aura that felt heavy and dull, to the point of being violent.

Her two eyes flashed golden like mirrors reflecting lightning, and sharp lightning bolts wrapped around her body like an aura.

If there was a tyrant who was born infinitely noble and reached transcendence on their own, would they be like this?

“No way….”

The Thunder God Sanctuary was a sanctuary created by the gathering of enlightenment that existed prior to all causality.

But that was the same as saying that only the enlightenment, not the sorcerer themselves, had crossed the world.

Even so, the fact that the lightning spear in front of him could transform into the form of a living human-

“The Thunder Dissection Formula (雷解術式) that I use is the power to unravel all things based on lightning.”

Zzzzzzzzzzt!!!

With those words, pure white lightning burst out from behind the woman, who had her arms crossed.

Just by lightly raising her thoughts, she dyed the entire Thunder God Sanctuary pure white, scattering a tingling amount of light.

Without any direction or purpose, it simply overflowed infinitely just by existing in that place, filling the space.

Just that alone was enough to roughly press down on Lenok as if the white lightning would crush him, rotating fiercely above his head.

Crack!!

“It is the formula of an emperor who dominates all concepts that exist in the world under the Thunder Light Heavenly Lord.”

“……!!”

The woman said.

“Using this formula, I was called the Thunder Emperor in the first world.”

The extreme magic [Thunder Rampage (雷濫)] that Lenok had used against the 10th Apostle Amrita a long time ago.

The lightning that was realized and burst out at a much higher level of achievement, changing everything, including talent, mental image, and understanding, into lightning and overflowing it.

“If your lightning has truly transcended the horizon of thought, you should have something to show me.”

The woman, seeing Lenok stiffen at the overwhelming power that was hard to even imagine, crossed her arms.

“Take a stance, sorcerer.”

“…….”

“I will test for myself whether the enlightenment you leave behind has the qualifications to be that stubborn.”

“Leaving behind enlightenment, and taking enlightenment….”

Lenok, who had muttered with a stiff expression, understood the woman’s words and raised his gaze.

“You were planning to directly guide me through the process of maintaining and existing the Thunder God Sanctuary.”

The only mortal who can enter the Thunder God Sanctuary is a single sorcerer who has mastered unique electric-type magic to the extreme.

The reason why only the sorcerer who stands at the forefront among those who have engraved the causality of lightning can enter the Thunder God Sanctuary.

It is because only that being can engrave a new enlightenment in this sanctuary in a new timeline.

Transcending the causality of destruction and the timeline, they transmit and add to enlightenment.

Because they prioritize and transmit intangible values rather than human life and existence, the Thunder God Sanctuary exists even beyond three worlds.

In order to understand and transmit that in this sanctuary, Lenok also had to add a new magic to that uncharted path.

“…….”

Lenok, who had realized that, gathered his magic power and brought his hands together.

The one magic he had been preparing since the moment he started fighting the Thorben Tower.

Because he sensed that he could still chant the magic he had not been able to unleash against the tower’s sorcerers.

Now, he could decide what enlightenment Lenok would leave behind here against that sorcerer.

He could engrave a new magic in this vast sanctuary of the Thunder God that was worth Lenok taking.

Whoooom!!!

He rapidly rotated the remaining magic power in his body, compressing and concentrating it to burst out in an instant.

He simultaneously applied eight types of property changes to the magic power leaking between his clasped hands and compressed it.

Load and repulsion, resonance and diffusion, compression and shaping, rotation and fusion.

He grabbed all the countless split lightning bolts, and after undergoing eight types of changes, he concentrated them back into one place.

One of the highest-level cores among the extreme magics that Lenok possessed.

A miracle that inflates and raises lightning and thunder, then adds various types of property changes to the extreme and assembles them from the other side of reality.

The lightning of thought that killed Armas von Anathema.

[Sand-borne Divine Lightning (沙上申雷)]

Fzzzzzzzt!!!!

A blue-glowing regular octahedron floated up from Lenok’s hand and began to rotate fiercely.

“Ho, that’s….”

Perhaps sensing an unusual aura from that chant, the woman’s face also changed to a rather interesting expression.

“A lightning that has been honed to the extreme and transcended property change.”

“…….”

“There was a reason why Akendrias chose you. But that alone is not enough.”

Kwaaaazzzzzzt!!!

The pure white lightning flickering behind the Thunder Emperor twisted and bent, gathering at his fingertips.

A coercive method of forcibly changing the direction of the lightning that originally extended forward without changing direction, and dominating it under his will.

But the lightning that gathered in that bent and broken state contained a more destructive thought than any other formula, trampling everything it encountered.

Under the logic of a coercive and arrogant power, the lightning of a tyrant that thoroughly kills and breaks the weak.

“If you don’t meet my expectations, I will break your answer in this place….”

The Thunder Emperor, who had muttered with a cold expression, raised his chin.

“I will break it.”

[Heavenly Emperor (天帝) : Electric Transformation into Star (電爲變星)]

Kwaaaaaaang!!!!

The entire vast path of the Thunder God Sanctuary overflowed with pure white lightning.

The distorted lightning at the Thunder Emperor’s fingertips accelerated as it directed its repulsive force directly at Lenok.

Soon, it became a pure white, glowing supernova, burning the non-existent space-time.

Kwa kwa kwa kwa!!!!

The Thunder Emperor’s formula that destroyed and burned even the sanctuary of pure enlightenment.

But even while watching that, Lenok did not move the Sand-borne Divine Lightning.

This moment of testing each other’s enlightenment in this sanctuary of lightning.

That was why Lenok knew what he had to show, going beyond Sand-borne Divine Lightning once more.

The existence of the Thunder Emperor, who wanted and desired something beyond prescience that transcended the horizon of thought.

Because what that transcendent sorcerer demanded of Lenok was similar to Myung, although the direction was different.

Lenok could easily decide what kind of magic he had to show that person.

Could the things that Myung, who had started his journey of becoming a god, had conveyed to Lenok be summarized in just a few words?

Myung’s own ending. His method of using Lenok as a standard.

Until the very end, when he humbly headed towards his end, considering himself a sinner.

But what he had conveyed to Lenok was not just the possibility of a branching point where he could learn black magic.

The enlightenment of transcendence that Myung had jokingly given him while massacring the forces of the central front on Lenok’s behalf.

If it was now, after fighting Thorben’s sorcerers and learning and accepting the countless possibilities of electric magic, he could do it.

If Lenok’s intuition and spirit were filled with the causality of lightning more than ever before.

The second possibility that one would finally reach after reaching the extreme of one system.

The very moment of encountering an ability that is contrary to the original system-

He grasps it.

Crack!!!

The octahedron of Sand-borne Divine Lightning, which was rotating fiercely in Lenok’s hand, cracked and peeled off in that spot.

The sense of speed that had reached the extreme. The moment he reversed and stopped the nature of lightning, which was faster and more agile than anything else.

[Shelling Off (脫殼)]

Jjeooooooong!!!

With the sound of glass breaking, the Electric Transformation into Star that the Thunder Emperor had fired stopped abruptly in front of Lenok’s eyes.

The light of the formula, which was covered in a fierce glow and was heaving as if it would explode at any moment, stopped.

The Thunder Emperor’s flamboyant golden eyes, which had been wearing a sinister smile, widened in surprise for a moment.

“The moment you reach the extreme and transcend, you wear down and regress.”

“You…!!”

“By reversing the Sand-borne Divine Lightning that has reached the extreme of property change, forcibly stopping all existing changes….”

Lenok opened his mouth, scattering the Sand-borne Divine Lightning that was fragmented and scattered from his fingertips with both hands.

“If it is a power that can even stop the flow of time and change, wouldn’t it be possible to touch even the laws of the sanctuary?”
