Genius Wizard Takes Medicine [EN]: Chapter 1110

The Mad Naked Sea Palace’s domain dragged the Ascendant’s body down, subjecting it to the laws of reality.

Lenox’s poison-laced blood splattered across Malleon, weakening his spell output.

At point-blank range, before Malleon could react, a bullet of compressed ‘dismantling’ power pierced his heart.

Pajik!!

A sound like something shattering echoed from within the Ascendant.

The nine levels of hierarchy that Malleon Gnosis had painstakingly built over his lifetime.

The inner world of the transcendent, who had completed his ascension and gained the qualifications to become an Ascendant, was torn apart by the black halo.

[Oooooooo?!!!!]

The Ascendant let out an indescribable shriek, unleashing his magic power to its maximum.

Simultaneously, his body was engulfed in a vast starlight and exploded on the spot.

KWA-AA-AA-AA-AANG!!!!!

“Kuh-ack…!!”

Immediately after using Uroboros at full power to dismantle Malleon’s hierarchy,

Lenox’s body, unable to withstand the explosion’s recoil, was flung away at tremendous speed.

The shockwave from the Ascendant’s explosive outburst, the starlight of the Ideological Battlefield [a battlefield created by an Ascendant that alters reality] blazed fiercely.

The Mad Naked Sea Palace’s domain, having exhausted its power, cracked and shattered into pieces.

KAAAAAAANG!!!!

The domain’s scenery, which had overwritten reality, shattered, and the burning ancient eon’s space-time reappeared.

Thud, thud, thud!!!!

Lenox’s body, flung between the burning ancient eon’s barriers and corridors, tumbled and rolled.

“Ugh…!!”

Lenox, vomiting a mouthful of black, sticky blood, slumped down, his head bowed.

The backlash from the forced shattering of the self-magnetic domain had belatedly swept over Lenox’s body.

‘It’s only a half-baked domain, but the backlash is more than that… Is this the price for forcibly increasing the output?’

He had used the Mad Naked Sea Palace to counter the Galaxy Meteorite Swarm, but the domain’s inherent output was less than half of its original power.

Now that Lenox had taken the elixir and accepted destruction, he could not use the kaleidoscope that pulled in the branching points of the future [a power that allows one to see and manipulate possible futures].

It was only because the Mad Naked Sea Palace was such a heterogeneous and distorted domain that he could ignore such penalties and forcibly deploy it.

By narrowing the effective range through the liberation and compression of the domain, and forcibly increasing the output by mixing it with Uroboros’s spell.

It was only by hitting the Ascendant’s heart accurately at a distance where they were touching that he could inflict damage.

However, that was enough.

‘To break Malleon’s hierarchy within the Ideological Battlefield, the domain effect of the Mad Naked Sea Palace was necessary.’

Lenox knew that once the Ascendant had obtained Malleon’s spell, he would definitely use the Ideological Battlefield.

The Ideological Battlefield was the privilege and function of an Ascendant who had reached level 9.

The power to permanently alter the world was a miracle that guaranteed absolute superiority on the battlefield.

However, the Mad Naked Sea Palace was the power to forcibly place the space-time within the domain under the laws of reality.

Therefore, with the Mad Naked Sea Palace, it was possible to force the laws of reality upon the Ascendant even within the Ideological Battlefield.

Of course, that was a hypothesis that only held true under the premise that Lenox’s fundamental mind was not inferior to the Ascendant’s Ideological Battlefield.

However, Lenox had never doubted that for even a moment.

That was why Lenox had a gut feeling about which domain he should use as a countermeasure against the Ideological Battlefield.

He had known it from the moment he drank the elixir.

What power was granted to Lenox, and what power he had temporarily lost.

He knew exactly which spells and functions to use to fight the Ascendant before him.

He had released his talents and abilities one by one, luring the fallen Ascendant to the depths of the domain.

And finally, like this-

[Oooooooo!!!!]

From outside the ancient eon’s space-time, the Ascendant, his whole body ablaze with starlight, was roaring wildly.

Floating in the center of the majestic Galaxy Meteorite Swarm, he staggered and burst out starlight as if having a seizure.

The function of Uroboros, which had accurately pierced Malleon Gnosis’s heart.

He realized that it was dismantling not only Malleon’s body but also his hierarchy.

That it was forcibly breaking the core that had allowed him to exist as an Ascendant.

Buaaaaaaaang!!!!

At the same time, the Ideological Battlefield of the Galaxy Meteorite Swarm, which had fixed the ancient eon’s space-time, was shaking unstably.

As problems arose in Malleon’s hierarchy, the Ideological Battlefield created as a result was shaking from its foundation.

“Hoo… Cough, cough!!”

Lenox, who had been watching the scene, lowered his head with a pale face and coughed.

When he removed the hand that had been covering his mouth, black blood stretched out like sticky oil.

Lenox, staring at it with a dazed expression, lowered his head powerlessly.

“Haa, haa…”

The fact that the battle with the Ascendant had come to a conclusion faster than expected was no coincidence.

From the beginning, Lenox had intended to end this fight as a short battle.

The deployment of the self-magnetic domain. The barrage of Uroboros. The magic power consumption to break the Ascendant’s hierarchy was not the only problem.

The extreme poison of the elixir that was consuming his body. The feeling of decay that was rotting him at the cellular level.

The time given to Lenox was now running out.

“…I have to go.”

Lenox, who had wiped away the black blood dripping from his hand, struggled to his feet.

If the Ideological Battlefield collapsed, the ancient eon would also fall back into the atmosphere under the force of gravity.

Before that happened, he had to completely resolve this situation and escape the ancient eon.

Otherwise, Lenox’s body would also burn up from the frictional heat of the atmosphere and evaporate.

As Lenox thought this and turned towards the entrance of the Ten Palaces, where flames were surging.

“…Ah.”

Buaaaaaaang!!!!!

Before Lenox’s eyes, two intense beams of starlight were colliding and rotating at tremendous speed.

An ancient primordial magic that freely designates the location coordinates of a spell regardless of the caster’s position.

Two different stars overlapping and exploding in one space-time coordinate, the one that killed the angel’s true bloodline-

Primordial Magic: Saintly Lotus Eight Extremes Style

Nine Forms – Outer Law

[Sun, Moon, Stars, and Constellations]

KWA-AA-AA-AANG!!!!

The transparent outer wall shattered, and a silver dragon that had trampled on the stars fell down at tremendous speed.

Lenox immediately turned Uroboros, but the giant dragon’s chest crushed the ground and rotated, radiating outwards.

Along with the explosion, the shockwave pressed down on Lenox’s body, causing him to tumble backward.

“Kuh…!!”

KWA-AANG!!!

The Ascendant did not miss even the slightest stumble.

The moment the silver dragon’s massive body, transformed into a lightning-like flash, kicked Lenox at an invisible speed.

The black halo that had become a shield in place of Lenox shattered into pieces this time.

A shockwave of tens of meters burst out like a ripple, flinging Lenox to the opposite side of the corridor, which was boiling.

Bang, bang, kuuuung!!!

“…!!!”

Lenox, unable to even scream, trembled and fell powerlessly.

If he hadn’t used Uroboros as a shield, his body would have exploded like a balloon on the spot.

Even with the severe injuries of his body being crushed and his blood vessels bursting, he no longer felt any pain.

The silver-flamed dragon king, shimmering in the distance, began to appear blurry.

“Did I… fail?”

Lenox, who had coughed, muttered powerlessly as he looked at the approaching Ascendant.

Even though he had aimed for Malleon’s heart and detonated Uroboros, the Ascendant had not ‘fallen’.

Instead, the Ideological Battlefield of the Galaxy Meteorite Swarm was shaking, and starlight began to fall in all directions.

It felt as if his body was becoming infinitely heavy as the gravitational load increased.

Even though he had pierced his heart with Uroboros, had he ultimately failed to break Malleon’s hierarchy?

[No. It was more than perfect.]

Thud!!

The Ascendant, covered in molten silver flames, looked down at Lenox with burning eyes and denied it.

[As a means to counter the Ideological Battlefield, it was a domain close to mortal. You were not wrong.]

“…”

[It’s just that I, and no one else, was dwelling in this dragon’s body, which is why you failed.]

“Uroboros’s dismantling spell… you shared it with Malleon.”

Lenox asked, looking up at the Ascendant with blurry eyes.

“You reduced the spell effect on Malleon and forcibly maintained the hierarchy.”

Currently, the consciousnesses of both Malleon and the Ascendant were dwelling in Malleon’s body.

The moment Lenox shot the halo into Malleon’s heart, the Ascendant realized that he could not avoid this attack.

Therefore, instead of letting Malleon bear the brunt of Uroboros alone, he spread his consciousness and shared the damage.

[It would have been impossible if I hadn’t stabilized the hierarchy with my functions of recursion and correction.]

The Ascendant affirmed.

[However, even though I took the backlash and minimized the damage as much as possible, the hierarchy was almost broken. It’s a truly disgusting and heinous power.]

“…”

[You can be proud, tenacious one. If I hadn’t placed a geas [a magical vow or compulsion] on this body at the last moment, it would have certainly turned out as you had envisioned.]

“…Geas, huh.”

The Galaxy Meteorite Swarm was shaking madly at the same time that Malleon was descending into the ancient eon.

The meaning of the fact that the ancient eon was falling again, despite the countless meteor showers falling from the sky and the Ideological Battlefield still manifesting.

The moment he realized that the Ascendant had sacrificed the power of the Ideological Battlefield to withstand Lenox’s spell.

[Since all the starlight that makes up the Galaxy Meteorite Swarm is like myself, I forcibly reduced the effect of your spell by transferring it to thousands of stars.]

The Ascendant said, raising his gaze.

[To make that possible, I placed a geas on this body that I would ‘never again’ use the Ideological Battlefield.]

“…”

Only then did Lenox understand why the Ascendant had endured even after being hit by Uroboros.

Malleon and the Ascendant’s consciousnesses each took the spell effect, and the damage inflicted on the body was restored by the Ascendant’s functions of recursion and correction.

However, even so, the backlash inflicted on Malleon’s mind and body would have certainly been more than enough to break his hierarchy.

That was why the Ascendant had ultimately transferred the damage to the stars that made up the Galaxy Meteorite Swarm.

By placing a geas on himself, a restriction that he would never use the Ideological Battlefield again, which was an extremely powerful and heavy geas.

Clearly, it would have been impossible to withstand Uroboros without placing such a geas.

The price that the Ascendant had paid to maintain Malleon’s hierarchy was truly enormous.

However, even knowing that, Lenox stared at the Ascendant with a cold and calm gaze.

“The Galaxy Meteorite Swarm… was Malleon’s answer.”

The Ideological Battlefield, the Galaxy Meteorite Swarm, was Malleon’s answer, a power that changed the world.

Even if it was shaken by Lenox’s answer, became incomplete, and ultimately failed to protect even his own ego.

Even if it was clumsy and futile, it was certainly the answer that Malleon had cherished throughout his life.

Lenox, who had slowly risen to his feet, glared at the Ascendant with a chilling gaze.

“It’s not a power that you can play with as you please.”

[Perhaps not. But what does that matter to me?]

The Ascendant said, stroking his arm with one hand.

Chiiik…!!

Every time the silver dragon’s hand touched his arm, the poison that covered it was purified and disappeared.

The functions of recursion and correction that Paud Older himself had possessed since birth.

Through that, he was restoring his contaminated body and using it correctly.

[Malleon Gnosis will never awaken again, and I too will soon move to another body.]

“…”

Kwa-gwa-gwa-gwa!!!!!

Breaking through the ceiling of the ancient eon, the starlight of the shattered Ideological Battlefield fell in succession.

Each time, a pillar of light soared up, burning space-time and turning everything to ashes.

In the midst of the exploding waves of starlight, the Ascendant, wearing an ominous aura, faced Lenox.

[It is the first and last light of birth and death that the Galaxy Meteorite Swarm emits.]

Kiiiing…!!!

The Ascendant, who had grabbed the blazing starlight with one hand, said.

[Now that I have placed such a powerful geas, it is the power to draw out Malleon Gnosis’s potential to the end of the future.]

“…”

[So, I must make sure that even that last requiem is not lonely, by accompanying it with your death.]

There was no further exchange of words.

The Ascendant, holding the molten starlight, gestured as if swinging a whip, and the moment Lenox raised the black halo.

Primordial Magic: Saintly Lotus Eight Extremes Style

Eight Forms – Outer Law

[Melting Star Cannon]

Bbeo-eo-eo-eo-eong!!!!

The splitting starlight and black lightning exploded in all directions, bursting out of the ancient eon.

The Ascendant, who had ‘consumed’ the Ideological Battlefield to draw out power, and Lenox, who was vomiting black blood, clashed between the barriers.

The brilliantly shining starlight and the faintly flickering halo collided, unleashing an intense shockwave.

Ku-gwa-gwa-gwa!!!!

The two transcendents’ bodies, half-destroyed, accelerated, traversing the collapsed corridor in parallel.

Black and silver light surged over the vast corridor, refracting dozens of times between the ceiling and the inner walls.

The Ascendant’s powerful body accelerated at supersonic speed, dropping dozens of meteor showers from outside the outer wall.

Forcing close-quarters combat while simultaneously chanting primordial magic and repeating firepower projection.

Tuh-tuh-tuh-tuh-tung!!!!

However, Lenox was holding the halo, which had become so faint that it seemed to disappear, and was receiving the Ascendant’s attacks.

With a body staggering from poison, vomiting black blood and coughing.

As if he were about to collapse at any moment, he was barely managing to dismantle and deflect all the attacks and spells that the Ascendant unleashed.

“Cough…!!”

[With only the embers left in your inner world, you can still stand against me like this!!!]

KWA-AANG!!!

The Ascendant, holding the starlight strengthened by the geas of the Ideological Battlefield, fiercely smashed the faint halo.

The thick fist of the dragonkin shattered the fragments of the halo, and the moment a black ripple burst out.

A meteor shower fell from the sky and exploded towards Lenox, further increasing the speed of his fall with the recoil.

Ku-gu-gu-gu!!!!

Breaking through the atmosphere and accelerating, increasing speed, and the battlefield of the ancient eon, blazing again.

Towards Lenox, who had fallen among the burning debris, the Ascendant, covered in shattered starlight, moved his steps.

The strengthened Saintly Lotus Eight Extremes Style, which he had obtained by placing a geas that he would never use the Ideological Battlefield again.

That starlight had lost its initial clarity and was now emitting a sinister and contaminated light, like radiation.

[You somehow managed to preserve the shape of your body with recoil control. Your combat sense is still amazing.]

The Ascendant’s empty gaze turned towards the black halo flickering behind Lenox’s back.

[But you are already worn down and on the verge of reaching your end.]

Tick, tick!!

The black halo rotating behind his back flickered like a lighter that had run out of fuel.

The time attack due to the extreme poison that had been eating away at Lenox’s body since he had taken the elixir of ascension.

As its end approached, the miracle that had been given to Lenox was also slowly running out.

The ‘status ailment’ that had burdened Lenox’s body by taking the poison, and the senses he had gained through it.

As Lenox’s body was dying, they were slowly but surely losing their meaning.

[This is the end of it all.]

Bang!!!

He kicked Lenox’s tilting body with one foot.

Lenox’s body, along with the shockwave, was smashed into the molten inner wall at an invisible speed.

KWA-AA-AA-AANG!!!!

The Ascendant, who had completely smashed the inner wall and sent Lenox flying to the outermost corridor of the ancient eon, laughed.

[I will cut off your head, kill the magic eye user you saved, and reclaim Kaise Bajur’s body.]

“…”

[Furthermore, I will kill all the long-lived species of Kundara that will fall on the central front without exception and erase their meaning.]

Lenox did not answer.

He was lying face down, only twitching his fingers as if pulling something.

Each time, the black-stained magic power flickered and disappeared like flames from Lenox’s hand.

[Even the power that sustains your magic has been exhausted, so it will be impossible to even use spells.]

The Ascendant said, looking down at the scene.

[You tried to break Malleon’s hierarchy and separate me when you had time. If there is a reason for your defeat, it is that.]

“…”

[You lose because you are clumsy and hesitant when you can do it. You become weak because you can’t let go.]

The Ascendant laughed.

[For beings like us, choice is exactly that kind of meaning.]

“…No.”

Lenox replied, his head buried.

“If I were to abandon one and choose one… I wouldn’t have started in the first place.”

[What?]

“I will obtain everything. That was the reason for my fall. So-”

Lenox whispered, raising his trembling hand.

“This time, I should fall all the way to the end.”

The moment he realized that his hand was not pointing at the Ascendant, but at the flames burning outside the falling ancient eon.

Lenox, avoiding the surging starlight, grabbed the flames burning outside the ancient eon.

Whirr-whirr-whirr!!!!

He forcibly manipulated the flames that were burning the outer wall of the ancient eon due to the frictional heat with the atmosphere.

He pulled the flames through the broken outer wall and held them in his hand.

“Come.”

Ku-hwa-ak!!

The moment the flames, stretched out long in his hand, soared up like a huge flagpole.

Before he knew it, a flag made of red flames was in Lenox’s hand.

The Ideological Weapon, the Wandering Star [a weapon that manifests the user’s ideals].

The weapon of the Ideological Awakening Corps, which he had obtained on the central front with a thousand identities.

Using the flames around him as a medium, he drew out the abilities that were dormant beneath his unconscious into reality.

With just that, Lenox’s consciousness began to expand beyond his body at tremendous speed.

Uuuuuuuuuung!!!

Each time the flag of flames fluttered, Lenox’s expanded consciousness covered the battlefield with a majestic resonance.

The battlefield of the ancient eon, overflowing with starlight, was dyed black and shook like a huge ripple.

The moment the Ascendant realized that it was not a spell or magic, but merely groundwork for a larger ritual.

Lenox’s hand strongly gripped the air, shattering space.

“Summon.”

Bang!!

Space shattered like glass, and a key of flashing lightning was grasped.

Contrary to Lenox’s magic power, which had fallen and become corrupted, the Thunder Piercing Key scattered brilliant lightning.

[The key of foresight that you used to awaken Malleon…!!!]

The Ascendant, who remembered the shape of the lightning-filled key, laughed wildly.

[Do you still believe that you can stop me with such a method!!!]

“It’s not to stop Malleon’s rampage.”

Ku-gwa-gwa-gwa-gwa!!!!

Holding a flag of flames tens of meters long, he raised the key of lightning in his other hand.

Each time he waved his arm, wrapped in flames and lightning, black halos burst out and rotated without rest.

Hwa-aaaaaaak!!!!

As if time had slowed down, his movements stretched out endlessly, like swimming in water.

The expansion of consciousness beyond its limits. The forced activation of all the innate abilities that Lenox possessed due to the manifestation of the Ideological Weapon.

The magic eye and the Eight Trigrams Formation were operating simultaneously, manipulating Lenox’s vision and perceived time.

“I just needed preparation… to drop my spell to the very bottom.”

[Preparation-]

At that moment, Malleon’s words stopped abruptly.

The expansion of consciousness that Lenox himself could not handle.

Neither the self-magnetic domain that unfolded his fundamental mind, nor the domain that manifested the caster’s ideals.

The reason why Lenox had taken out the Thunder Piercing Key at this point, even though he could not fully use the kaleidoscope.

“Even if I cannot use the causality of lightning, it is a space-time that possesses more abundant power than any hidden realm in the world.”

[-No way.]

“If I can fall to the end of corruption only in the dream beyond the world-”

Pa-aaaaaaaat!!!!!

The moment he plunged the key of lightning into the space-time of the ancient eon, a sharp flash of lightning exploded.

The lightning spear, amplified thousands of times in size, pierced the space-time of the ancient eon from top to bottom.

A huge eye of lightning rose from behind Lenox’s back and looked at Malleon.

Lenox, who was holding the shattered and flickering darkness, raised his gaze.

“Sanctuary Declaration.”

Lenox declared.

“Opening of the Thunder God’s Hall.”
