Genius Wizard Takes Medicine [EN]: Chapter 1160

The remains of the dead god slumbered in the deepest part of the sanctuary.

Below it, Lennok was pinned down, his entire body restrained, surrounded by hundreds of knights.

However, the words that flowed from Lennok’s mouth were something the knights, despite their preparations, had not anticipated.

“Magnetic field deployment.”

Kiiiiiiing-!!

It wasn’t Lennok, but his summon that deployed the magnetic field.

Gathering its eight arms, it repeated four hand seals, and a colorless ripple spread out from the [Tailor] summon.

Before the knights’ swords could even reach Lennok, the incantation was complete.

“Unimpeded Succession Binding.”

Paat!!

A black ripple exploded from the [Tailor], engulfing the deepest part of the sanctuary.

The moment the black light flashed, the ripple swept through the entire sanctuary, devouring space and time whole.

An expansion so instantaneous that the knights, who were extremely wary of even Lennok’s gestures, couldn’t react.

All the knights on the battlefield simultaneously understood what had just happened, thanks to their seasoned combat experience.

‘We’ve been had. He used a summon to chant…!!’

‘He never intended to deploy the field directly from the start!!’

‘He deliberately lured us here while pretending to run away—’

The pinnacle of manipulation techniques: controlling phenomena using a medium instead of oneself.

An inhuman feat of deploying a magnetic field using a summon instead of the caster himself, something unbelievable even when witnessed.

However, it was precisely because of this that even the commander-level knights momentarily overlooked the existence of that bizarre summon.

How far can a manipulator disregard and manipulate the laws when they are determined to do so?

And how dangerous the power and abilities contained within the deployed magnetic field would be.

As all the knights reached the same conclusion, they swung their swords with all their might in the darkness.

Swish!!

Even with the magnetic field deployed, the situation or formation of Lennok being surrounded did not change.

With the knights’ commanders at the forefront, dozens of high-ranking knights were surrounding Lennok.

If they could kill the caster before the field was completed, they could cancel the technique.

The moment the knights, thinking this, ruthlessly struck down their swords towards where Lennok was.

Magnetic field deployment

Manipulation Hierarchy Mental Image Manifestation

[Unimpeded Succession Binding]

Click.

“……Huh?”

The knights, feeling a hollow sensation in the air, abruptly raised their gazes.

The knights who had been holding their swords to Lennok’s neck were now standing hundreds of meters away.

Even the other knights who were approaching the center of the sanctuary were pushed far back, looking around in confusion.

Only then did the knights realize that Lennok had ‘adjusted’ their positions while deploying the field, and they were shocked.

“He manipulated spatial coordinates at the same time as deploying the field…!!”

“Unbelievable. Since when did he…!!”

A perfect spatial transfer that even the knights’ sensitive senses couldn’t detect any signs of.

A miracle that forcibly designated and changed the knights’ positions immediately after the magnetic field was deployed.

In the center of the magnetic field that had been deployed, Lennok stood with his eyes closed.

Whoosh!!!

He floated without drawing a mana thread, as if buried in the darkness, strangely swaying in the shadows.

Lennok’s figure, completely disregarding the existing laws of physics, walking in the air as if flying without any consumption.

Behind Lennok, a bizarrely twisted black darkness was slowly rotating.

“That is…”

“An eye… is it?”

Kkkkkkkk…!!!

A dark distortion point, like a giant black hole, rotated in the darkness, looking down at the ground.

Numerous lines of light, sucked in from all directions, were tangled like threads, rotating in a complex manner.

Light was distorted along the dark horizon that spread behind Lennok, unfolding like a giant eye.

Apart from the dark distortion point and the dark sky that unfolded simultaneously with the magnetic field deployment, the scenery remained unchanged.

The sanctuary, modeled after the Nayuta Shrine. The snowfield at the center and even the remains of the dead god remained in their places.

The magnetic field that Lennok learned from the Torben Magic Tower Lord, which does not alter reality immediately after deployment.

A variation to realize the power of the manipulation technique, a special trait, in the form that Lennok desired most.

“A manipulation-type magnetic field. Is this the culmination of a special trait that even treats concepts as targets of techniques?”

Chiiiiik!!!

And, from the other side of the sanctuary, Aaron, who had been watching the entire process, opened his eyes.

Having completed the stabilization process of the Frost Ring, he unleashed its full output, grasping power close to infinity.

An enormous amount of mana poured out from his entire body, rotating and pushing up the Frost Ring that had risen behind him.

Each time mana rotated through the Frost Ring, it transformed into a chilling cold, spreading thickly.

“The art of deploying a field using a summon is astonishing, but in the end, it is merely a finite ability that is consumed and depleted.”

Aaron, reaching his hand towards the sky amidst the raging blizzard, coldly muttered.

“I will crush you head-on.”

[Ice Crystal Armory: Ten Thousand Weapons]

Kugwagwagwagwa!!!!

Spears and swords made by compressing ice. Various forms of weapons took shape and soared from all directions.

A forbidden technique that imitates forbidden weapons by adding human talent to the weapons made with bloodline abilities, which he had shown before in the fortress.

A legion of weapons that uses knowledge obtained from the archive, drawing out and wielding the preserved human talents.

“All troops, forward.”

As Aaron extended his hand, thousands of weapons rose into the sky.

Controlling the weapons that were rotating in a huge spiral above the snowfield with his own will, Aaron spoke coldly.

“Execute the traitor who has defied the will of the royal family.”

Kwagwagwagwang!!!!

The weapons, launched at the speed of sound, poured down on Lennok like a bombardment.

Thousands of weapons that had risen above the sanctuary’s sky each emitted mana, launching like missiles.

They spread out in a huge circle towards Lennok, then converged, accelerating as if being sucked in, and exploded.

Fubububububung!!!!

“Oooooooo!!!”

“We obey His Majesty’s command!!!!”

“Glory to the Kabahim Royal Family!!!”

The horizon was covered by the explosion of mana light, obscuring the view in an overwhelming spectacle.

In the sea of light that felt even majestic, the elated knights sprinted, emitting mana with all their might.

They swung their swords, firing slashes, and filled the void left between the sky and the ground by operating their [Small Universes].

Cannonballs and arrows flew from all directions, adding to the firepower, and the court mages each chanted their techniques.

A rain of fire and light poured down, densely filling the vast sky of the sanctuary.

“……You still know nothing.”

However, Lennok, facing the thousands of bombardments pouring down on him, raised his hand.

Without even the slightest preparation of drawing a mana thread and wrapping it around his wrist, the moment he slowly clenched and opened his hand as if playing the air.

“Property Decomposition.”

Paat!!

The thousands of bombardments that had been pouring down on Lennok’s head disappeared as if it were a lie.

“What-”

“……!!!”

The thousands of weapons that Aaron had wielded, the arrows and cannonballs comparable to them.

The slashes and [Small Universes] that the knights had fired. Even the court mages’ firepower magic.

All that violence towards Lennok was decomposed within the field as if it were a lie, vanishing without a trace.

In the moment when the knights froze at the unrealistic sight that surpassed the thoughts of even superhumans, unable to believe what they had witnessed directly.

“Indeed. Is this what large-scale technique manipulation without relying on a medium feels like?”

Lennok, who had been closing his eyes with one hand extended, muttered.

“It’s more difficult than I thought. If I hadn’t grasped the sensation beforehand with the gauntlet, I would have struggled.”

“You, what are you talking about since earlier…!!”

“Phase Preservation. Output Control. Spatial Coordinate Change. Direction Control Modification.”

Chwarararak…!!

The weapons and techniques that had been decomposed and disappeared before Lennok’s eyes reappeared in their places.

As if they had been completely decomposed and reassembled, they appeared before Lennok after going through destruction and creation.

The moment the thousands of bombardments that had been pouring down, centered on Lennok floating in the air, were recreated in their places.

“Reconstruction complete.”

Lennok, who had opened his eyes inside the mask, pointed directly below.

“I’ll return it as it is.”

The bombardment that had been pouring down on Lennok changed direction, beginning to fall towards the knights as it was.

The weapons that Aaron had created, the knights’ slashes, and the mages’ techniques reversed as if time were rewinding.

They spread out, drawing a huge sphere centered on Lennok, as if returning to their original speed and direction.

The thousands of bombardments fell on the center of the sanctuary, sweeping across the ground as it was.

Kwagwagwagwagwagwagwang!!!!!

“Kkyaaaaaaak!!!”

“Stop the technique!! Cut off the mana!!!”

“No, I can’t stop it. This is…!!!”

The weapons that Aaron had created fell to the ground and exploded, and the knights’ bodies were torn to pieces and scattered.

In the barrage of weapons and techniques pouring down like a bombardment, intense flashes of light flickered one after another, making it difficult to distinguish.

In the wave of light, people’s corpses flew around like toys, rolling around in a miserable state.

Kwaaang!!!

“This can’t be!!!”

Looking at the brutally killed members, Yuzel, the commander of the 6th Knight Order, looked up at Lennok with a distorted expression.

“Could it be that you are using manipulation techniques without a mana thread…!!!”

Manipulation techniques boast the most difficult principles and difficulty among all special traits.

Although they can manipulate even phenomena and concepts, ironically, their near-omnipotent applicability makes it difficult to establish a standard.

Therefore, no matter how skilled a manipulator is, they have difficulty handling techniques without using a medium like a mana thread.

However, the monster who had deployed a magnetic field over the entire sanctuary was no longer wielding techniques through a mana thread.

He manipulated and altered the direction of all the power pouring down on him, simply by wishing it, turning it back on itself.

He tampered with and altered the nature and attributes of power, the basic values that make up matter, taking them away.

A simple yet truly destructive and overwhelming technique operation that had no way to deal with it.

However, Yuzel was intuitively aware that it was not just because of the magnetic field.

“To interfere with and transform the direction and nature of thousands of powers, how can a human…!!”

Even with the assistance of the magnetic field, it was ultimately the caster himself who was handling the manipulation techniques.

It was proof that Lennok was manipulating all the power and laws that were pouring down on the sanctuary in reverse.

The understanding of the technique, the analytical ability, the manipulation ability, the coordinate designation and direction control through complex calculations. Even the ability for multiple thinking and division of consciousness.

As a knight, Yuzel had no idea what kind of aptitude and talent were needed to accomplish such a feat.

“Focus, Sir Yuzel.”

Kwang!!

The figure of an old knight drawing his sword next to Yuzel, deflecting the falling spears.

“Sir Byun!!”

“We are the only ones who can help His Majesty now.”

Byun, the commander of the 3rd Knight Order under the Ten Stars, left Yuzel behind and raised his sword.

His aged eyes captured the manipulator who had risen above the black sky.

“I understand now after seeing that magnetic field. That person is not a descendant of an Ascendant. We should have killed him somehow before he deployed the field.”

“……”

“Even if all the Ten Stars Knight Order perishes in this place, we must kill that person for the sake of the royal family’s safety.”

Tatatang!!!

He deflected the bombardment pouring down like bullets with his sword and barely dodged them.

Yuzel, who had difficulty turning his gaze, looked at Lennok, who had risen far away, and asked.

“Is there a way?”

“We must help His Majesty put up a fight equal to that monster.”

Kwagwagwagwagwa!!!!

The figure of Aaron, emitting cold air from his entire body, freezing the atmosphere, and constantly creating and firing weapons.

Aaron changed the direction of the weapons he had created, using them as his own power to destroy the sanctuary.

Thousands of weapons exploded, intersecting between the sky and the ground, creating flames.

The number of knights who were killed by the aftermath was no longer countable.

“Ugh, ughaa…!!”

“My body, it’s not moving as I want-!!”

The bodies of the knights who had lost their lives or combat abilities creaked and rose from their places.

As if grasping and manipulating their bodies with an invisible hand, they picked up their weapons and forcibly drew up their mana.

“No, I-!!”

“Evacuate!! Everyone, evacuate!!”

Puk!! Swish!!

Even while screaming desperately, their bodies faithfully swung their swords towards their comrades.

They stabbed the backs and necks of the knights who had survived the bombardment, cutting off their breaths as they were.

Each time the number of surviving knights decreased, the dead knights rose from their places.

They grasped their swords, moved their remaining mana to strengthen their bodies, and wandered around to kill the same knights.

Kwarururururung!!!!

The ground cracked, fragments flew up, and the walls and ceiling of the palace collapsed and exploded.

The sky of the sanctuary opened, the atmosphere twisted, and a storm was created by being forcibly manipulated.

The knights who had fallen on the melted snowfield, where hellish heat was overflowing, sobbed and cried out.

“This is, impossible!! Why is this, why is this possible…!!”

“Are you… are you really saying you’re some kind of god!!”

“The ability of my field is not such a convenient power.”

Lennok smiled and turned his gaze.

“Rather, if I were a god, I would never have been able to conceive of such a magnetic field.”

Weapons imbued with intention and techniques composed of mana. He took and manipulated both organic and inorganic matter without discrimination.

Without even a mana thread, he freely manipulated the matter and laws that existed within the field with his own will.

The ability of the magnetic field’s Unimpeded Succession Binding was literally the power to decompose everything once and reassemble it.

It was one of the culminations that Lennok had obtained through manipulation techniques, and the ‘reconstruction’ of all things itself.

Immediately after deploying the magnetic field, Lennok reconstructed all the spatial coordinates within the field, creating distance between himself and the knights who had surrounded him.

He reconstructed the bombardment of ice lotus weapons that Aaron had fired, forcibly manipulating their direction and attributes to fire them back.

He was decomposing and reassembling the terrain within the sanctuary, freely reorganizing and stirring up the battlefield.

The fact that he was using techniques without a mana thread was the price he had paid for the condition of not altering reality immediately after deployment.

It was a means to freely reconstruct all matter and laws within the field by using all things as a medium for techniques.

This was another culmination of manipulation techniques that Lennok had presented after seeing the memories of Bangung.

Not an incomprehensible technique that dismantles everything with the mental image of a ruined future.

But a realm of understanding that understands, decomposes, assembles, and creates anew.

Creating existence from existence, and again creating existence from existence.

And through that infinite cycle, finally moving towards creating existence from nothing.

The very essence of the [Mandala] that Bangung had yearned for.

Crack!!!

At that moment, the black sphere embedded in the chest of the cold comet cracked and slowly pulsated.

The black sphere, which had sprung up with a sharp tearing sound, floated towards Lennok, rotating like a ring.

Paang!!

It floated, distorting space like a lens, and wrapped around Lennok’s fingers, solidifying into the shape of a black ring.

The core of the Authority [Mandala]. The essence containing the manipulation techniques that Bangung had used.

It only came into Lennok’s hands after he showed that he had chosen a different direction from the Ascendant.

“The test run of the field is enough for now.”

Lennok, holding the black ring and lowering his gaze, pulled up his mana and turned his body around.

“It seems like you’re ready, shall we start properly now?”

No sooner had he finished speaking than an enormous coldness swirled from below the ground.

Kuoohhhhh!!!

He stopped wielding his bloodline abilities to create weapons, and even stopped exchanging bombardments with Lennok.

He was just focusing on concentrating his mental image and mana within himself.

“I acknowledge it.”

Aaron, tilting his head back in the center of the distorted white cold, muttered.

“That you are not an existence that can be explained simply as a descendant of Bangung. That you are a transcendent who has reached the answer without being bound by your origin.”

“……”

“That even saying these words after facing your magnetic field is my own lack of virtue and negligence.”

Aaron, slowly raising his head, said.

“So from now on, I will focus on drawing out all of my power to kill you.”

Swish!!

At that moment, a huge ice pillar erupted from beneath Aaron’s feet, piercing the spot where Lennok had been.

A huge ice pillar, tens of meters in size, erupted at supersonic speed, creating a shockwave.

Paahhhhaaaang!!!

“Small Universe Open.”

Before the sonic booms that had erupted in succession could end, Aaron, grasping the ice pillar, chanted.

“Giant Soldier Manifestation.”

Inner World [Small Universe]: Giant Soldier

Kugwagwagwagwa!!!!

Aaron’s body swelled up dozens of times in size, transforming into a giant, grabbing and pulling out the ice pillar.

Just by stomping his feet, an earthquake erupted, echoing mana, and explosions erupted with each step.

The figure of Aaron, who had grown so large that he looked down on Lennok floating in the air, grasping the frozen spear and pulling up his mana.

Lennok smiled as he looked at that figure.

“That’s a pretty familiar size. Did you steal that guy Jillian’s [Small Universe]?”

“The second hierarchy I possess is the royal authority itself, which allows me to freely draw upon the royal family’s assets and treasures.”

Aaron replied in a heavy voice as he moved his steps.

“Now that I hold the forbidden weapon, I can skip the process and draw upon the talents preserved as the royal family’s assets.”

Kuuung!!!

Solid ice surrounded the entire body of the giant Aaron, transforming into pure white armor.

Aaron, who had instantly wrapped his entire body in frozen heavy armor, spoke in a cold tone.

“At this moment, thousands of talents and hundreds of [Small Universes] will rotate in my hands.”

The second hierarchy ability possessed by Aaron Byger Kabahim, who had the talent of duality.

The power to draw out the talents preserved by bloodline abilities, imprinting them on weapons made of ice.

Aaron used that ability to preserve Jillian’s left arm. With the aid of the forbidden weapon, he unfolded his [Small Universe].

Now that he was wearing the Frost Ring, it meant that Aaron could freely draw upon the human talents that he had incorporated into the royal family’s assets.

“Even with thousands of talents and [Small Universes], only a few will actually be helpful.”

However, Lennok did not back down even while looking at that, and he sneered as he chanted a technique.

“Besides, you’re not the only one who can wield the power of a god.”

He cast a manipulation technique on the only object in this vast battlefield that could match the size of the giant Aaron.

The essence of power that would not allow Lennok’s technique to work, or even the act of extending his intention in the first place.

But now-

“Arise.”

Kwaaaang!!!

Breaking through the swirling snow, a frozen knight creaked and rose.

Slowly raising his body from the black throne, moving his cracked and frozen armor.

The remains of the dead god, the cold comet, raised its body according to Lennok’s will.

It met the gaze of the hardened Aaron and faced each other.
