Genius Wizard Takes Medicine [EN]: Chapter 1225

Kugwagwagwagwa!!!!!!

Dozens of assault ships sped through the ruined outer city.

The Kyunroe magic tower spun violently, accelerating as it relentlessly collided with the form of Quetzalcoatl.

[Kkeooooooo!!!!]

The wooden winged serpent, torn and tattered, roared fiercely.

The feathers covering its body and the magical characters etched on its skin were disappearing, rapidly losing power.

“Damn it, is it already almost depleted?”

Baragan, riding on the serpent’s head and chasing the Kyunroe magic tower, clicked his tongue at the sight.

“I wasted the reserves I’d built up for four years in one go. This is why I didn’t want to return to the military…”

Baragan was an 8th-level archmage, one of only seven in the entire continent.

He was also a tribal chief who had inherited the esoteric magic used by the Ascendants’ Compendium [a collection of ancient magical knowledge] through direct lineage.

Baragan, who was born with a natural talent for magic, specialized in the creation of totems.

These were a type of magical medium or summon, where magical power was infused into specific symbols, with pre-engraved spells, ready to be used when needed.

Baragan was blessed with the ability to freely manipulate even types of magic he was not naturally skilled in, thanks to his totems.

However, the downside was that creating powerful totems required vast resources and time.

Beep!!

[Baragan, what are you doing?]

From beside Baragan, who was frowning deeply, a voice echoed through the comms; it was Songha.

[Daimus says he can’t start without your totems. You need to move.]

“Shut up, you moron. Don’t order me around.”

Baragan spat out, his expression fierce.

“I’ve used up a huge amount of my power just holding that monster back. It’s not like you, who can just swing a sword without thinking.”

[My swordsmanship isn’t like pressing a button on a game console, you know?]

“That’s not what I meant, you idiot. You haven’t changed in decades.”

Baragan said, biting his fingertip to draw blood, which he then smeared on his lips.

“Considering Quetzalcoatl’s damage rate, we only have one chance. We need to stop that magic tower and enter Sector 49 within that time. Is that possible?”

Baragan, who had arrived late to the battlefield, had been tasked with confronting the Kyunroe magic tower in the sky.

While he couldn’t match Kyunroe in terms of direct firepower, he had managed to hold out by using up his totems like disposable items.

The totems Baragan had used to hold Kyunroe back for even a short time were equivalent to nearly half the time he had spent away from the military.

It was a miracle that he had even managed that, and only because Kyunroe had drastically reduced its use of lightning magic while preparing for the ascension ritual.

For him, who honestly converted time and resources into power, it was a bad deal in many ways.

[Baragan, can’t you see?]

Songha said through the comms, sounding exasperated.

[That’s not an opponent you can beat head-on. It’s like a gimmick in a game. We need to find another way.]

“This isn’t a game, you idiot!!”

Baragan, looking like he was about to breathe fire, turned away, fuming.

“I don’t understand what nonsense you’re spouting, so shut up and get ready. I’m the one who has to decide the timing anyway!!”

[No. We’ll decide the timing.]

At that moment, a leisurely voice cut into their comms.

[I’ve just gained control of an interesting item. It should be enough to act as a trigger.]

[Huh? Isn’t this a channel exclusively for the commander?]

Songha asked, sounding puzzled, and Baragan’s expression instantly darkened.

He immediately recognized the voice on the comms and spoke in a low tone.

“…Atermeyer.”

[Baragan, it’s been a while.]

The Doctor laughed.

[It’s been over 10 years since you left Pandemonium. How have you been?]

“If I had been doing well, neither you nor I would have met again on a battlefield like this.”

Baragan retorted, spitting out the words.

“You’re still alive, I see. Did you finally find a way to ‘incarnate’?”

[It’s just a poor substitute. It’s nothing compared to the totems you used to make.]

The Doctor replied.

[It’s a shame the Commander so easily allowed you to leave. To fully contain my spirit, which has been tainted by the knowledge of the Ascension Gate [a portal to another dimension], a symbol from a completely unrelated magical system was ideal.]

“Enough with the useless nonsense, just start it. Can’t you see the others are dying like bugs?”

Fwoosh, fwoosh, fwoosh!!!

Every time golden wings flashed with lightning, assault ships and transport ships exploded one after another.

Even the ground-based mobile fortresses and transport vehicles of each legion were no match for the falling lightning.

Baragan sneered as he watched the elite soldiers of each faction dying everywhere, regardless of time or place.

“That thing is getting stronger the more humans it kills. If this continues, it will extend its power beyond the outer district and into the central Balkan area.”

[……]

“Surely you don’t think the idiots in the City Council will stop it for us? If you want to settle this, we need to start quickly.”

[Unfortunately, I’m not here to settle things with Kyunroe.]

The Doctor said.

[I just want to know. How far can a transcendent with such talent go when they’re so broken… In my opinion, that’s nothing short of a miracle equivalent to the end of this world.]

“So?”

[For that, I think it’s worth sacrificing not only the legion but also the destruction of the Balkans.]

“……”

[……]

At that moment, a cold killing intent flowed through the legion’s comms.

The legion commanders, who had made the recapture of the Balkans their top priority, realized that the Doctor had deliberately crossed the line.

“Atermeyer. I’ll tell you this in advance.”

Baragan said quietly.

“If you wipe the Balkans off the map for that, I’ll do the exact same thing to your hometown.”

[Haha, I’m just joking. Of course, I still think Kyunroe’s existence is more valuable than the entire city of the Balkans…]

However, the Doctor responded leisurely, despite the cold reactions from Songha and Baragan.

[The Commander doesn’t kill people so easily. I need to align with that direction for now. Now that we’re talking about it, shall we start right away?]

“Stop stalling and hurry up! What did you prepare that’s taking so long-”

Kuuuuuung!!!

Before Baragan could finish his sentence, a deafening roar and a powerful gust of wind swept through the area.

The shockwave was so powerful that it scattered and erased the few remaining wisps of clouds.

Baragan, who had quickly turned his gaze, gaped at the scene before him.

The golden wings that had been sweeping through the outer district and destroying the remaining assault ships.

A black pyramid, damaged and scattering darkness, was slamming into the side of the magic tower.

“P, Primo Alert…!!!”

[It took some time to hack into the control authority of your 3rd Command.]

The Doctor said.

[There were rumors that it was a relic of the Imperial Palace, and it turned out to be true. There are traces of attempts to modify the system authentication key to match the legion’s.]

[Hee. I don’t understand a word you’re saying.]

“Atermeyer. You crazy old man…!!! Do you know how much material wealth that aerial fortress represents!!”

Baragan frothed at the mouth.

“It’s a strategic weapon that you couldn’t buy even if you gave away an entire country in this era!! If you smash it up like that…!!!”

[Is there a problem with recycling something that’s already broken?]

Kugwagwagwagwagwa!!!!

Next to the violently rotating golden wings, the black pyramid exploded and crumpled in a flash of lightning.

Just like when it collided with the Kyunroe magic tower and was destroyed, it was overwhelmed by the impact of a head-on collision.

However, since it was an already damaged and broken aerial fortress, it could be used as a shield as long as they were prepared for complete destruction.

The Doctor had hacked into the 3rd Command’s system, gained control, and used the remaining propulsion devices to forcibly lift it and ram it into the Kyunroe magic tower.

Kugwagwagwa!!!

With the collision of the super-large strategic weapons, each hundreds of meters in size, a shockwave spanning thousands of meters devastated the ground.

The high-rise buildings of the bustling city district collapsed like dominoes, creating a thick cloud of dust that obscured the view.

Amidst the earth-shattering impact, the golden light and the remnants of the black pyramid scattered and distorted like explosions.

[Baragan.]

The person who had instigated all this chaos asked calmly.

[It seems like it’s your turn to hurry now.]

“Damn old man. I know…!!!”

Baragan cursed and channeled his magical power.

“This is the last time I’ll cooperate with you!!”

Kwaaaaaang!!!!

The moment he sent the winged serpent diving towards the center of the collision between Kyunroe and the pyramid.

Three super-large war machines, each hundreds of meters in size, intersected in the sky above the outer district, and everything turned white.

* * *

Kugugugugu!!!!

The form of a giant black pyramid floated in the dark sky.

The aerial fortress that had been the head of the subjugation force and the role of the 3rd Command. The pile of wreckage known as Primo Alert.

Now, a corpse warship that was completely shattered and collapsing, barely maintaining its shape.

A fortress of death where all the officers, soldiers, pilots, and operators had died, staggered and floated in the air.

A corpse warship, where no living person existed, stood up alone and rammed into the Kyunroe magic tower in a bizarre sight.

Beep!!

[System channel connection complete. I’m finally getting used to the controls.]

The Doctor said, tapping on the channel comms in a leisurely tone.

[I’ll take care of the assault ship deployment. I’ll assist you in entering the sector while avoiding Kyunroe’s lightning strikes.]

[Wait, who is this? State your affiliation and name.]

The high-ranking psychics of the Blader Magic Tower Rosary and the squadron, who were on other assault ships, asked with wary voices.

[You’re an outsider who wasn’t on the existing comms network. Who gave you access to the comms and command authority?]

[Call me Doctor. And I didn’t receive command authority.]

The Doctor replied, looking at the assault ships that had formed a formation in the sky, remaining on the deck of the mobile fortress.

[I’m providing technical advice to ensure that your forces survive as much as possible and enter Sector 49. It’s more than you deserve, but I’m interested in this situation, so I’ll help you.]

[Doctor? Could it be that Doctor from Pandemonium?]

[Is the designer of the Ascension Gate on this battlefield right now?]

However, the Doctor didn’t listen to the buzzing comms for long.

[Unfortunately, I don’t have time for introductions. Start moving immediately.]

Flash!!

The Doctor let out a low laugh as he watched the countless lightning bolts falling from the sky.

[It seems I need to focus on controlling this broken toy from now on.]

Woo-oong!!!!

At the same time as the Doctor’s words, the hundreds-of-meters-long aerial fortress, which had lost its shape and was broken, floated into the air.

It had crashed into the Kyunroe magic tower, which had transformed into a golden fighter, piercing its center, and the entire facility was damaged.

The 3rd Command, Primo Alert, was falling apart in real-time, with blood and debris flowing from everywhere.

[Emergency power system activated.]

Crackle, crackle…!!

Electricity leaked out and exploded on the black pyramid with a gaping hole in its center.

The fortress staggered, emitting a bizarre engine sound as if it were about to stop and fall at any moment.

Fwoooom!!!

At the same time as the Doctor’s words, Primo Alert spun violently and rammed into the golden magic tower repeatedly.

Each time the edges of the pyramid collided with the tower, the sharp edges scraped away, scattering debris.

Kwaddeudeuk!!!

The 3rd Command and the winged serpent rotated fiercely, with the fluctuating Kyunroe magic tower in between.

A magnificent sight of three super-large war machines, each hundreds of meters in size, facing each other in the sky above the outer district.

Immediately after, the Doctor began to operate the system in earnest.

[Reorganize the assault flight squadron. Assign identification numbers to all 57 surviving assault ships and initiate forced control.]

[Standard callout. Control response.]

Fwoooooooooom!!!!

At that moment, all the assault ship squadrons, numbering in the dozens, simultaneously began to change their flight paths.

The Doctor’s leisurely voice echoed through the comms of each assault ship.

[Assault ship number 12, deviate from flight path. Lower altitude by 12m and sequentially ignite propulsion devices.]

[Assault ship number 87, prepare for evasive maneuvers. Ascend 45 degrees and perform a cross turn. After 3 seconds, bias the hull to the left.]

[Assault ship number 44, will be hit in 3 seconds. Use all remaining fuel to accelerate and move forward at full speed.]

[Assault ship number 60, activate emergency braking system. Stop after 2 seconds, fall for 6 seconds, and then restart the engine.]

Click!!

Kugugugu…!!!

Kwaaaaaaaa!!!

Dozens of assault ships moved in different directions and speeds, adjusting their trajectories in real-time.

Some stopped in place and fell, while others accelerated forward at full speed.

They left the outer district, turned, and began acrobatic flight, rotating their hulls.

The flight ships moved fluidly, like living creatures, beyond the control of the pilots.

However, immediately after the Doctor intervened, the dark blue lightning that had been raging everywhere began to narrowly miss the assault ships.

The lightning bolts barely grazed the assault ships and fell onto the self-propelled guns and tanks on the ground, setting them ablaze.

Flash!! Kugwagwagwa!!!!

Despite the screams echoing from the ground, the faces of the superhumans on board the assault ships were filled with undisguised awe.

“Unbelievable. To control dozens of airships individually and perform such evasive maneuvers…!!”

“Is he performing this much computation simultaneously while controlling that giant aerial fortress?”

[It’s not over yet, so prepare yourselves. The opponent has lost its intelligence, but its senses and intuition have reached the level of a transcendent monster.]

The Doctor said.

[Prediction or psychological warfare is impossible, but it will instinctively calculate our flight patterns and intercept us again.]

[Therefore, we will completely reorganize the evasion maneuver algorithm every 1.75 seconds and modify the flight patterns in real-time.]

Kugugugung!!!

“Uwaaaah!!!”

All of the dozens of assault ships simultaneously changed their flight patterns, executing rapid accelerations and sudden stops in all directions.

Even the pilots and superhumans inside momentarily lost their balance, shouting from all sides.

Due to the erratic movements, even the lightning bolts aimed at the assault ships momentarily lost their direction and went astray.

Kwagwagwang!!!!

Even amidst all that, some of the flagships failed to evade the lightning and exploded, were vaporized, or melted away into nothingness.

The Doctor didn’t even blink.

[Minor errors and miscalculations are inevitable. Hard turn to starboard.]

“That crazy bastard…!!!”

“Artemeyer!!!!”

[When facing the worst archmage of the East Continent, not every response can be perfect. Move forward.]

Drrrrrrrrk!!!!

Simultaneously with the Doctor’s calm words, the black pyramid rotated at an incredible speed and slammed into the side of the magic tower.

* * *

At the same time. Above the epicenter where the golden magic tower and Primo Alert were clashing.

Lenok was listening to the Doctor’s explanation as he moved between assault ships.

[Victor. As I explained earlier, your role is crucial in this matter.]

Fwaat-

Puhbuhbuhbung!!!

Evading the lightning flashes that were being swung at speeds beyond his senses, he manipulated the mana threads.

Abandoning the exploding assault ship, he fell with Deimus.

Rotating his body clad in the shadow robe, he simultaneously shot out dozens of mana threads into the air.

He dashed along the walls of the high-rise buildings that were collapsing like dominoes from all directions.

[The reason I hacked and took control of the 3rd Command [referring to a specific military unit] is not just to use it as a shield to stop the Adamantine Tower.]

[Primo Alert is a type of cruiser built during the time when the Imperial Palace was still standing, and its engine is imbued with a special power.]

Tadadadak!!!

Stepping on the shattered glass of the buildings with each step, he accelerated along the slanted outer walls of the buildings.

[From now on, you must enter the 3rd Command, which is colliding with the Adamantine Tower, and activate a specific ‘function’ built into the engine.]

[The other commanders are currently focused on stopping the Adamantine Tower, so take Deimus with you.]

[With the authority he possesses, he should be able to activate the engine function of Primo Alert.]

‘What is that function he’s talking about?’

[It’s nothing much. It’s a function that opens a kind of ‘passage’.]

The Doctor laughed.

[But in this situation, it will be the most necessary key for us to enter District 49.]

‘…….’

As if understanding Victor’s silent reaction, the Doctor spoke.

[However, it’s unavoidable that this will place a significant burden on you in some way. If you want another way-]

“No, let’s begin.”

Lenok scoffed and pulled up his mana.

“Having come this far, I have no intention of backing out.”

Lenok already knew what the Doctor wanted from Victor.

What was needed was the presence of a power that could balance things out, even for a brief moment, in order to enter District 49 before the Adamantine Tower.

It was undoubtedly a dangerous task, but conversely, it was something only Lenok could do.

A way to chip away at the Incarnate Body [a being that has manifested physically] that was trying to reach a realm beyond rampage.

If the series of plans to enter District 49 were ultimately connected to Lenok’s goal, there was no reason to hesitate.

A ‘clash’ that had been anticipated and prepared for since he participated in the subjugation battle under Victor’s identity.

If that was the case-

Swaeeeek!!!

Lenok and Deimus’s figures pierced through the glass windows of the building, traversing the collapsing offices and corridors horizontally.

In an instant, they leaped out below the outer wall of the falling building.

Kwang!!

Using the slanted building as a shield, they evaded the lightning and impact pouring down from the sky.

Hooking mana threads onto the falling debris, they accelerated and began low-altitude flight, pulling Deimus along.

Kwagwagwa!!!!

“Kuh…!!”

High-speed aerial maneuvers that instantly broke the sound barrier while dragging a person along.

Deimus, who was hanging on by the mana threads, couldn’t endure it and groaned.

His eyes bloodshot from the rapidly changing air pressure and altitude difference, he muttered with difficulty.

“Unbelievable… How can you drag a person and…!!”

“Shut your mouth if you don’t want your tongue cut off.”

Chwaak!!

Lenok coldly said, pulling his collar to avoid the debris.

“I’ve done this a few times, so I’ll definitely succeed. I don’t care if you die, but you have to stay alive until we reach the command engine room, so endure it.”

“Cough!! To have done this kind of thing, a few times… You’re insane.”

Deimus coughed heavily and smiled bitterly.

“I… I’ve seen the right person… I’d better hold on tight to my belt.”

“Good that you’re quick to grasp the situation.”

Shuuwoong…!!

Lenok, tilting his body in the air and gauging where to fall, spoke.

“We’re going straight in.”

Chwajajak!!!

The mana threads that extended from under the shadow robe pierced into both sides of the collapsing building, pressing Lenok’s body together.

It was as if he had become a bullet in a slingshot, placing the mana threads in the center of the bowstring and pulling the weight to the maximum.

With a creaking sound, the fully extended mana threads contracted like a spring, increasing his speed at that moment.

Lenok’s figure accelerated beyond the speed of sound with a shockwave.

Paahhhhaaaang!!!!

A black figure horizontally crossed through the debris of the collapsing high-rise buildings from all directions.

The target was the command center, which was being crushed by the power of the magic tower, colliding in the center of the outer district.

Uwoooong!!!

At the same time as Lenok approached, the Adamantine Tower immediately reacted and turned around.

The moment the dark blue lightning flashed across the golden wing surface, the incantation of the lightning was completed and the spell was launched.

It accurately pierced the trajectory Lenok was flying on, and turned the high-rise building collapsing behind him into a pile of ashes.

[He dodged it!!!]

Ermong, who was watching the situation from the assault ship, shouted into the communication network.

[That crazy bastard!! That creepy guy!! Just die already!!]

[Ermong. Even so, how can you curse Victor like that?]

[Black Magician, I will remember this and be sure to tell the Manipulator later.]

The voices of the members echoed throughout the communication network.

The commanders of the vanguard, the Flame Heat Tower, and the mechanized corps, who had followed and entered the outer district, were also watching the situation.

[Truly amazing. Even if he is a mage who directly manipulates space…]

[He is directly perceiving and evading the Adamantine lightning. How high is his sensitivity?]

Some were listening to the Doctor’s explanation, and some were realizing the situation by watching the battle, in the midst of the chaotic battle trying to enter District 49.

Everyone understood what the role of the Manipulator, who was dashing through the lightning storm with Deimus, was.

[He’s doing an unbelievably good job, but it’s a completely illogical operation. It wouldn’t be strange if he died at any moment…]

[In fact, we’ve entrusted the task by relying on the Manipulator’s abilities. We’re not in a very comfortable position either.]

[This is not the time to be picky. If we make a mistake, we’ll all be caught up in the Adamantine’s ascension and die.]

[We’ll move while the Manipulator draws the Adamantine’s attention. If not now, there won’t be another chance.]

Kwaaaah!!!

Lenok’s figure accelerated, increasing speed while avoiding the huge cocoon shape with golden wings.

He flew, using the collapsing buildings as shields, while dodging the falling lightning by a hair’s breadth.

Lenok, who had changed his flight path using blink [a teleportation-like ability], stared at the shattered building with a hardened expression from inside his mask.

‘It doesn’t even distinguish living beings. It was something I had to accept when I fed it the fruit of Jinwa…’

The fruit of Jinwa was the last preparation Lenok had procured to raise the consciousness of the rampaging Incarnate Body to the 9th level boundary.

In order for the Incarnate Body to handle the lightning that had reached the 9th level, it needed a consciousness and will that had reached the 9th level.

Therefore, Lenok fed the Incarnate Body the fruit containing the power of the Ascendant, forcibly causing the Incarnate Body to rampage close to the 9th level.

However, as a backlash, the Incarnate Body had also reached a state where it could no longer distinguish between itself and others.

It wouldn’t attack if it recognized Lenok, but since it couldn’t distinguish Lenok, even that premise was meaningless.

Rather, it would only escalate the danger level of the existence it had failed to destroy and change its response.

Kiiiiiing…!!!

Dozens of black-blue lightning bolts, which had been focused on smashing the remains of the 3rd Command, turned towards him all at once.

The lightning born from the dark blue nebula collided with each other, amplifying their power through pair annihilation.

From that spot, they leaped through space and fell towards Lenok without even speed.

Electromagnetic System Unique Magic

Nature Transformation Manifestation

Destiny’s Scales: Extreme Art 5 Laws

[Chanting Thunder]

Tteodeodeodeodeodeong!!!!

“…!!!”

The dark blue lightning fell in rows across the city without any warning, shattering space.

The second nature transformation of the Extreme Art 5 Laws, ‘manifesting’ at the space-time coordinates aimed at the same time as the incantation.

The Incarnate Body, which was on the verge of the 9th level, was already freely using the nature transformations of the Extreme Art 5 Laws.

Although it was a degraded version of the transcendent magic [World 10 Laws], it was the mystery of nature transformation that did not exist in this world.

Deimus also did not notice any signs of the lightning falling from all directions and gritted his teeth.

“Kuh…!!”

“Hold on tight.”

Fwaat!!

Lenok’s figure, flying low as if skimming the ground, evaded the lightning falling through space.

He leaped over the shockwaves of the lightning that surged like waves, dodging all the falling lightning spears by a hair’s breadth.

[He dodged them all. This is impossible…!!]

[There wasn’t even a blind spot. It’s already beyond the realm of calculation!!]

[Prediction calculation failed. Evasion route cannot be generated.]

Kugugugu…!!!

From the point where it failed to kill Lenok in one go, the golden wings immediately changed their target.

It stopped the lightning that was smashing the command center and turned its entire massive form towards Lenok.

Paajijijijik!!!!!

The lightning that bloomed within the dark blue nebula contained an immeasurable well of lightning.

The lightning born from the flashing well of lightning collided with each other and rapidly converged.

Once again, it became a real magical form and was fired towards Lenok.

[Lightning Well]

[Penetrating Strike]

Kwaaang!!!!

The light of thunder, which had swelled greedily, crossed the ground, dyed black.

The menacingly distorted lightning annihilated the debris of the collapsing buildings and rotated at supersonic speed.

It instantly captured and intercepted Lenok’s movements, which were accelerating from afar.

“Victor!!!”

The skill of scattering wide-area attacks to narrow the flight path and intercepting the target with powerful penetrating magic to bring it down.

Even after going that crazy and broken, is the intuition to use spells as a mage still there?

There was no time to be shocked by the monstrous transcendence that felt more bizarre the more he faced it.

Kwagwagwaga!!

The sharp interception aimed at immediately after adjusting the flight path while increasing speed to the limit and finishing the use of blink.

He couldn’t avoid it. The moment Deimus instinctively pulled up his mana, sensing that.

Clank!!

The sleeve of the shadow robe fluttered, revealing the shape of a dazzling glass-colored gauntlet.

Beautiful and metaphysical, like a sculpture of glass shards, its intense and elegant form drew attention just by its existence.

The moment Deimus’s gaze was unintentionally drawn to the beautiful shape of the gauntlet, Lenok pulled up his mana.

Kiiiiiiing…!!!

Black mana threads tangled intricately around the glass-colored gauntlet, digging into space.

A bizarre scene where space cracked like glass and fissures opened up, following Lenok’s left hand.

Before Deimus could even understand its meaning, Lenok raised the gauntlet with the tangled mana threads.

Kwauuuuuuung!!!!!!

A purple sphere rotated within the gauntlet’s hand, crushing space-time like a miniature black hole.

The extreme of the manipulation technique that forcibly distorts the gravity of all directions to form a local distortion point at a specific coordinate.

The observers, who were facing a black hole that had descended into reality, which was hard to believe even when seen with their own eyes, simultaneously exclaimed.

[It’s coming!!!!]

[It will be the first and last. Is it the beginning…!!]

[The Adamantine and Victor are head-on…!!!]

One major premise that was absolutely necessary in the Doctor’s plan to enter District 49 during the ascension ritual.

The existence of a transcendent technique or talent that could receive the Adamantine’s lightning ‘head-on’ even for a single moment.

It was not the True Ancestor Vampire of the Blood King Star, nor the Eight Great Dragon Kings of Kundala, nor the Imperial Family of Ars Nova.

Everyone knew that the Doctor was trying to fulfill that condition with Victor’s ability, and no one else’s.

The moment when the worst archmage of the East Continent and the Manipulator of Pandemonium clashed head-on for the first time in history.

Reversing the structure of the time they clashed at the Anathema Temple, they pulled up their mana towards each other.

The legions surrounding the outer district and the members of the Demon Lair. Mages and priests. Psychics and thousands of superhumans.

The city council and officials observing the battlefield. Even the citizens of Vulcan captured the scene in their eyes.

The majestic golden wings and the glass-colored gauntlet rotated almost simultaneously at a distance of several tens of meters.
