Genius Wizard Takes Medicine [EN]: Chapter 1080

Kugugugu!!!!

“I knew from the moment I saw you that you had other intentions.”

“……”

“If you had stayed still, you would have quietly received the antidote and left, but you stubbornly clung to past ties and ruined things.”

Nibecks whispered with a chilling smile she couldn’t hide.

“That’s the limit of you and those foolish seekers like Maleon. It’s your fate to ruin great undertakings by clinging to insignificant things.”

“Thanks for the advice.”

Lenok asked indifferently.

“So, is the antidote ready to exchange for the elixir?”

“No. There is no antidote to give to you.”

The snake replied.

“Instead, there will only be punishment for the thief who invaded my sanctuary without permission.”

Gooooooo…!!!

At the same time as Nibecks raised her magic power, the poison in the lake defied gravity and floated up.

A gruesome scene of droplets of poison floating in the middle of the lake, rotating around her.

“It was ridiculous that I had to bow my head to you to get back the Elixir of Ascension that was originally mine.”

“……”

“Now that it’s clear you’re a rogue who has trespassed into my abode, the Elder Council won’t criticize me even if I wield my techniques directly.”

Nibecks licked her lips as if looking at a very delicious prey and whispered.

“I’ll kill you.”

[Poison Incarnation]

[Blood Extraction]

Swaaaaaak!!!

The poison droplets floating in the air rapidly compressed in place, then sprayed towards Lenok at tremendous speed.

The dark blue poison accelerated like a laser and poured down like a bombardment on the spot where Lenok was standing, piercing and evaporating the surface of the swamp.

Dudududu!!!

Chiiiiik!!!

The roar of the ground twisting and the sound of wet soil evaporating echoed at the same time.

A suffocatingly acrid poisonous smoke rose, clouding the surroundings and briefly obscuring the view of the lakeside.

[Heavenly Wave]

Paang!!

Centered on Lenok’s hand, which lightly clapped, a shockwave of magic power burst out and began to push away the poisonous fog.

She seemed unharmed, not even scratched, after taking the poisonous technique that Nibecks had fired.

“I burned a poison that melts inorganic matter, and now it’s a poison that melts the respiratory system of organic matter.”

Lenok, who shook her hands a few times as if dusting them off, asked.

“Is even that chemical reaction an intended result of the poison technique?”

“…Tsk, Oliviera!!”

Nibecks clicked her tongue and called out to Oliviera, who was standing with her back to her on the other side of the lake.

She seemed completely uninterested in the surrounding commotion, finishing her ablutions and tidying her black robe.

Nibecks glared at Oliviera’s back and said.

“The human you brought to Kundara is trying to kill me. Cooperate.”

“……”

“You know which side you should be on at this moment, right?”

Nibecks said, putting strength into her pure white pupils and pressuring Oliviera.

“Use the Seven-Colored Treasure Eye. We must eliminate that wicked short-lived creature here.”

“……”

At Nibecks’ words, Lenok also quietly stared at her back.

Even if Lenok didn’t want to, she considered and thought about other possibilities in her head.

She excluded emotions because she knew that as much as she expected from her, she also didn’t expect from her.

At that moment when Lenok was thinking like that and solidifying her thoughts to prepare for the worst situation.

[I see how you think of me.]

For the first time, Oliviera opened her mouth.

[It’s absurd that you’re still considering the worst-case scenario even after coming this far.]

“……”

[But, that’s not bad either.]

Oliviera, who slowly turned towards this side, had her eyes closed.

The thick poison that flowed from inside her eyelids flowed down like tears.

[That you doubt and have lingering feelings is proof that you still have human emotions.]

“…Oliviera.”

[In this endless journey, it’s okay to leave one fellow traveler like you until the end.]

At the moment when Oliviera raised her right hand and opened her eyelids with her slender fingers.

A brilliant rainbow-colored light burst out, instantly enveloping Nibecks’ massive body and pressing down on her.

Kwaaaang!!!

“What…!!!”

[I made a decision a long time ago, and I have no intention of changing this judgment in my remaining life.]

Ignoring the flustered Nibecks, Oliviera, who opened her right eye, looked at Lenok and smiled.

[Lead the way. Let’s go meet Kaise Bajur.]

“Oliviera Ron Maze!!!!!!”

The enraged Nibecks lay down in the swamp and convulsed madly.

“How dare you, an ungrateful bug, betray my favor and take the hand of a short-lived creature!!!!!”

[You’re mistaken, Nibecks Orosia.]

Oliviera, who walked out of the swamp barefoot while adjusting her wide robe, retorted languidly.

[My borrowing your nest until today was not receiving a favor, but a result of repayment. It was the price for helping you with my magic eye so that you wouldn’t be consumed by the curse of metamorphosis.]

“Shut up!!!”

[You’ve already forgotten that you were about to be assimilated into a snake guarding the well after repeatedly trying to imitate an ascendant and undergoing metamorphosis clumsily.]

Tak!!

Oliviera, who walked out of the swamp full of poison without any concern, stood next to Lenok and retorted.

[I told Gyeonroe about the Nine Calamities and agreed to help, but I never imagined you would try to bind him with a bizarre thing called an elixir.]

“You’re foolish… truly foolish…!!! Even though the answer is set, you insist on seeking the uncharted path, that’s the limit of you all!!!!”

Eujijijik!!!

The giant snake writhed in the swamp, grabbing a pure white shed skin with the tip of its tail.

At the moment when Lenok realized that it was the shed skin that Nibecks Orosia herself had left behind after completing her [Metamorphosis].

Nibecks, who had risen up holding her shed skin, began to spread a colorless ripple.

“I won’t stop until I tear you two lovers apart and kill you all in this place!!!!!!”

“…!!!”

Paahhhhhh!!!!

A chilling roar and a colorless wave that engulfs the surroundings.

Lenok also realized that Nibecks was trying to deploy her domain and hardened her face.

The Poisonous Forest, where Nibecks’s blood palace was located, was a poisonous domain that she had painstakingly built over a long time.

Deploying a self-domain within the domain meant that-

Self-Domain Deployment

Origin Hierarchy Mental Image Realization

[Mist Dome Serpent Malady]

Kugwagwagwagwa!!!!!!

Nibecks’s origin mental image is overlaid on the vast jungle forest.

Snake venom containing all kinds of diseases spreads like a thick fog, melting the entire vast jungle.

A single pure white glowing snake floats in the sky and emits magic power like crazy.

Chiiiiik!!!

The entire jungle melts into poison, contaminating even the ground they were standing on.

Lenok, who used Blink to avoid the overflowing waves of poison, accelerated and clicked his tongue.

“I didn’t expect it, but she’s handling both the domain and the territory at the same time? This has become tricky.”

Although the principle is unknown, Nibecks is using the abilities of her poisonous domain and self-domain at the same time.

If she receives technique enhancement effects from both the domain and the territory, and unleashes the poison accumulated in the domain and the unique techniques of the territory, Nibecks’s combat ability will increase dramatically.

The application ability of a high-ranking long-lived species who has accumulated ranks for a very long time, and an Elder Council member of the Eight Calamities.

‘If we go into a domain battle, we won’t be able to avoid being exposed to poison either. Should I have killed her before she could properly use her power?’

“…Hmm?”

At that moment, Lenok, who was frowning and looking up at the snake floating in the air, widened his eyes.

Behind Nibecks’s back, the snake’s shed skin was rotating, glowing fiercely like a halo.

It curled itself into a large ring, filling the inner space with darkness.

The bizarre sight of the shed skin itself turning black, regardless of Nibecks’s will.

He had definitely seen that figure somewhere.

The end of the ascendant that he had learned about when he met the memory of the Heavenly Hound when Lapis came to Vulcan.

The figure of the Guide’s consciousness dying and falling, becoming a [Gate] that connects to the outside of the outer sea.

“Could it be…”

Lenok asked as if he couldn’t believe it.

“Did she create a [Gate] that connects the domain and the territory by using her own shed skin as a sacrifice?”

“How dare a lowly short-lived creature recognize this masterpiece.”

Gooooooo…!!!

Nibecks, who floated in the sky, looked down at Lenok and sneered.

“Originally, overlapping the domain and the territory in one space-time is not something that is allowed for beings like me.”

“……”

“But since I have connected the two space-times by using my shed skin as a catalyst. This is a miracle that is too much for bugs like you.”

Nibecks coldly declared.

“Die regretting your own foolish choice not to offer the elixir.”

“No, that’s not it.”

Lenok shook his head.

“If you created a [Gate] using your own corpse, then it’s practically a well. You’ve just created a passage in your domain that might connect to the outside of the outer sea.”

“…What?”

“And there is an ascendant in this world who is more sensitive to that fact than anything else.”

The ascendant who guards the well does not want a well to be created in another space-time other than the place they are guarding.

And if it is a transcendent who casts their senses throughout the planet, it would not be strange even if they recognized what Nibecks has done now.

“…That can’t be.”

Nibecks, who understood Lenok’s words, paused for a moment, then immediately denied it.

“There’s no way that it’s watching this place right now. How could an inferior species that can’t even manage its own memories be here?”

“……”

“Don’t talk nonsense. I won’t be swayed by the lies of a short-lived creature!!! I’ll kill you right now-!!!!”

She’s wavering.

The very reaction of Nibecks, who is so excited and agitated, is the reverse scale she holds.

Lenok, realizing that the bluff that properly stimulated that emotion had worked, was about to raise his magic power to pierce the gap.

“That’s right. There’s no way.”

A nonchalant voice cut off his words from behind Lenok.

At the end of the domain that was being consumed by poison, a blank-faced white-haired girl was standing.

A sharp appearance with unknown complex magical characters engraved on her brown skin.

She said, fiddling with her fingertips as if her human body was awkward.

“Because I’m already here.”

[…!!!]

A chilling silence.

With the rapid expansion of senses, the unreal anomaly is finally recognized.

Oliviera, who immediately realized the identity of the opponent, was shocked, and Lenok’s expression hardened.

“Wait, could it be…!!!”

Even though he thought that the ascendant might know what Nibecks had done, and that it was not impossible for the ascendant, he used that guess as a bluff.

Even Lenok himself did not imagine that she would have already arrived at this place.

To this outer city that Lenok had reached after spending a long time crossing the barrier and traversing the universe of fog.

Is she so easily sending down her will just by recognizing the existence of the [Well]?

Lenok trembled at the unimaginable transcendence, and at that moment when he was captivated.

The Guide, Padme Kiesa, raised her gaze towards the sky.

“A long-lived species that has been consumed by the curse of metamorphosis and will be assimilated into me.”

“……”

At the Guide’s glance, Nibecks froze in place, unable to do anything.

But the ascendant lightly passed by Nibecks as if she had no interest in her.

“It’s a being that will break and fall on its own, so there’s no need to pay attention to it.”

The ascendant, who slowly approached Lenok, raised her indifferent gaze.

“There was something more important than that.”

“…You.”

A silence that seemed to stop the breath.

The commotion and battle that had been so intense until just now were like a lie, as if time had stopped in this place.

All the power and will of the domain seemed to bow their heads to a single transcendent.

A truly rare feeling in reality, an overwhelming wonder that cannot even be perceived by human senses.

At the moment when Lenok barely opened his mouth, suppressing the eerie sense of incongruity that was hard to believe even when facing it directly.

“It’s been a while, magician.”

Padme Kiesa asked Lenok with a blank face.

“Are you planning to become an ascendant in this city?”

“……”

As soon as she appeared, the ascendant’s question pierced the essence of what was happening in Kundara.

But the words that followed the Guide’s words surpassed all the topics that Lenok had thought of as soon as he saw her.

“I owed you a debt for the end of the Heavenly Hound.”

The Guide, who was fiddling with her fingertips with awkward movements, said nonchalantly.

“If you want, I’ll help you become an ascendant. Would you like to try?”
