Genius Wizard Takes Medicine [EN]: Chapter 1236

Kyunroe Subjugation (28)

At the precise moment the sharp arrowhead pierced his neck, the doctor’s head was severed.

As blood gushed out, the doctor’s body, now headless, crumpled to its knees.

Ivelin, her gaze cold as she looked down at the doctor’s corpse, slowly turned her body.

Watching him, Daemus gritted his teeth, his face pale.

‘He saw through it…!!’

The doctor’s plan to stop Kyunroe’s Ascension Ritual was to initiate their own.

Using the knowledge of the Ascension Gate that the doctor possessed, they would forcibly open the gate using the operation system’s power.

The goal was to cause the two Ascension Rituals to collide and disrupt each other, thus halting the ritual.

Their forces had moved to tie down the Black Bow, who would be an obstacle in the process.

But they never imagined that Ivelin would assassinate the doctor instead.

Even going so far as to abandon her advantageous high ground and descend to the ground, taking a risk.

‘No, was allowing her to approach part of a plan to lure us in…?’

Baragan used his magnetic field to create a blind spot, and Esteban laid down a bridge.

Even Ermong and Daemus were moving to draw Ivelin’s attention and tie her down.

But what if Ivelin’s actions were also a measure to separate some of their forces from the doctor?

What if, at the moment when the majority of their mobile forces were focused on Ivelin, she was actually waiting for the right moment to change her position and kill the doctor in one fell swoop?

The moment he saw the doctor’s corpse, thoughts raced through Daemus’s mind.

‘She knew from the start that the doctor was the key to the plan! But how… the Ascension Gate hasn’t even been opened yet!’

“The gate’s movement.”

Suddenly, Esteban spoke from beside him.

He pulled a broken arrow from the mercury, looking down at the ground with a rare expression of dismay.

“She realized that the doctor was using his knowledge of the Ascension Gate to move the gate and guide us here.”

“…!!!”

“There’s no way the Black Bow, who was waiting in the cradle, could have figured that out on her own. Someone… someone was watching us from somewhere in this labyrinth.”

“Zenithia Bajur…!!!”

KWA-GWA-GWA-GWA-GWA!!!!

The tattered Quetzalcoatl [a feathered serpent deity] roared wildly and charged towards Ivelin.

Baragan, riding on its head, glared at the doctor’s corpse with a grim expression, gritting his teeth.

“You’re interfering until the very end, you bastard…!!!!”

“Don’t call Jenny that way, shaman.”

Ivelin coldly said, dodging Quetzalcoatl’s headbutt.

“She’s not a member of the legion, she’s Ban’s partner. She has been since long before you started this war.”

“How dare you, you…!!!”

“Do you think you have any right to say anything to her now?”

“Shut up, sniper!!”

BANG!!!

Ivelin and Baragan, riding on the surging serpent’s massive body, clashed simultaneously.

Baragan’s uniform and skin were cut and torn by the sharp arrows, scattering blood.

The main force that shattered the totem flashed on Quetzalcoatl’s body and struck Ivelin.

KAA-AAANG!!!

Ivelin, who took Baragan’s totem head-on, spoke coldly.

“It’s too late. Dead Rise.”

KWAAAAAAA-AAAAAAA!!!!!

The nine wings that had landed in the center of the labyrinth slowly unfurled, casting a shadow over the sky.

From inside the mass of wings, an arm shimmering with blue light surged forth, pulsating with dark blue lightning.

The power that had been compressed in the form of a cocoon was slowly being released, spreading throughout the entire area.

Everyone realized that this was the final stage of the Ascension Ritual. The mad transcendent was beginning to fully form its body.

From behind Ivelin, the doctor’s aged voice echoed.

“Excellent work, Black Bow.”

“…!!!”

The doctor’s head, which had been severed by Ivelin, was rolling on the ground, looking this way.

His voice, as if whispering slowly with half-opened eyes, even as he rolled on the floor.

“Your insight in finding me without being fooled by Chebien’s disguised dummy. Your skill in preparing a way to approach me in the midst of the chaos.”

“Doctor, how!!”

“And even your skill in aiming for the neck instead of the brain, to block any possible incantation… there’s nothing to criticize.”

The doctor said, smiling even as he bled.

“But if there’s one mistake you made, it’s that I, a native of Machina, also knew about the executioner’s assassination techniques you use.”

“No way…!!”

“No matter how skilled an assassin is, if you know where they’re going to aim, it’s not impossible to counter it.”

Unlike Ivelin’s archery, her close-quarters combat techniques were learned through the Machina executioner curriculum.

Did the doctor read the executioner’s assassination technique of simultaneously targeting the head and neck of a skilled mage and counter it?

“If I can supply the oxygen, blood, and nutrients flowing to the brain with magic, I can last for a while even after my head is cut off…”

The doctor asked.

“Isn’t that enough time to complete the incantation I prepared in advance?”

There was no answer.

Ivelin’s magic exploded, and her figure suddenly tilted to one side.

Inner World Microcosm: Inertia Bias

SWHOOOOSH!!!!

Ivelin Marcia’s microcosm, which artificially adjusts direction and trajectory by adding bias to existing inertia.

It was a cheat-like ability that seemed to be made for archers, but its power was not limited to sniping.

For Ivelin, who was skilled in martial arts, inertia bias was a powerful and versatile ability that was helpful in any situation.

SWHOOSH!!!

Ivelin, dodging the magical cannons that Baragan was firing wildly, accelerated once more.

She drove arrows into the necks of the soldiers rushing at her from all directions and charged towards the doctor.

“Damn it, stop her!!!!”

“What kind of movement is that…!!”

The soldiers on the ground were shocked by Ivelin’s sprint, which ignored the laws of physics and broke through the superhumans.

Agent Black Bow. A special agent who belonged to the city government’s special task force and dedicated herself to the giant city of Balkan.

It was right after the people gathered here realized just how outstanding Ivelin Marcia was, as they had only heard rumors.

The moment Ivelin flicked her hand to pierce the doctor’s forehead, a pair of blood-red swords intervened, knocking away Ivelin’s arrow.

CHAE-AE-AENG!!!!

“Oh my, you’re quite fast.”

The vampire, who had turned around with a short sword held in reverse, smiled at Ivelin with red eyes.

“I almost missed you.”

“Sarin…!!”

“Damn vampire!! Where have you been all this time!! You’re way too late!!!”

Ermong, who was running down the golden arches, shouted, but there was no reply.

Ivelin and Sarin both kept their eyes locked on each other, as if they had made a promise.

A confrontation between technicians who had recognized each other’s skills and specialties with a single clash.

If they took their eyes off each other for even a moment, they would lose the initiative.

“Is it possible for a human to achieve that kind of speed without blood flow acceleration?”

SWISH!!

Sarin, twirling a short sword, smiled and turned her head.

“I didn’t think there would be another opponent on this battlefield who could dance with me.”

“Do vampires these days think fighting for your life is a dance?”

Ivelin threw away her worn-out arrow and retorted sharply.

“Get out of my way. Or do you want to die in the doctor’s place?”

“I can’t do that. The role that Pandemonium wants me to play was originally this one.”

Sarin smiled and properly gripped her short swords.

“Actually, it seems like this role was supposed to be taken by an executioner named Maiya… but she had to leave due to an urgent matter.”

“…”

“Well, if an opportunity comes my way, there’s no reason to refuse it. Technicians have their own pride!”

Sarin hummed a tune and gave a sinister smile.

“Shall we see who has the better technique?”

“Maiya, or you… it doesn’t matter who it is.”

Ivelin drew a new arrow with a cold gaze.

“I won’t forgive anyone who interferes with Ban.”

“That’s great. I just had a frustrating encounter with a fellow vampire that ended poorly.”

Sarin grinned.

“I hope we can settle things here for sure. Right?”

“Ha…!!!”

The moment Ivelin, drawing an arrow, lowered her stance and rotated her body, and Sarin, humming a tune, readjusted her twin swords.

The figures of the human and the vampire collided at tremendous speed among the piles of corpses, unleashing a fierce shockwave.

TA-TA-TA-TA-TANG!!!!

A series of rapid, machine gun-like sounds echoed through the air, piercing eardrums and tearing apart the eardrums.

In the blink of an eye, they changed positions dozens of times, rotating directions with nearly hundreds of steps per second. A storm of unseen energy blades instantly tore through the battlefield, cutting down anything living. The commander and high-ranking mages struggled to retreat with the surviving forces.

“Kuh, aack…!!”

“This speed is insane!!!”

“We can’t react, just evade!!”

KAA-AANG!!!!

As Ivelin and Sarin’s bodies spun, skimming the ground, their twin swords and arrows intersected. With a powerful shockwave, the two were thrown back over a dozen meters in opposite directions.

KWAA-AANG!!!

The impact sent the Doctor’s head, which had been lying on the ground, rolling among the corpses of the modified soldiers. The Doctor’s head rolled through the mechanized legion’s modified soldiers, becoming soaked in greasy parts. The moment the blood flowing over his head dripped onto the gears and parts, becoming sticky.

[Operation System Hacking Complete]

[Mechanized Legion Control Program Algorithm Serial Manipulation]

The modified soldiers, having come into contact with the Doctor’s blood, exploded in place, scattering mechanical parts in all directions.

KWAA-AANG!!!

“…!!!!”

The exploded and disassembled parts floated up into the air, without falling back down. The parts, quickly gathering from all directions, began to rotate above the Doctor’s head, forming a giant circle. It looked as if they were assembling a massive, incomprehensible [Gate] using the useless mechanical parts as materials.

KWAR-RURURUK!!!!

“He’s hacking the mechanized legion’s modified soldiers, using their parts as materials…!!!”

“The human body is quite interesting, isn’t it?” The Doctor spoke as Ivelin, sensing the nature of the gate, hardened her expression.

“No matter how much you modify the body with machines… if even a small part of it remains human, it’s treated the same as a sacrifice for human sacrifice.”

“…You.”

“Marcia. You thought you could stop me by killing me, but that was meaningless from the start.” The Doctor’s head, rolling among the mechanical parts, had already transformed into that of a frail old man, decades older.

“The mechanized legion, exiled from Machina [a mechanical city], is a sacrifice I can use at any time… I already had all the methods.”

PAAAT!!!

The modified soldiers committed suicide, becoming sacrifices for the human sacrifice in real-time, throwing themselves for the Doctor. At the same time, the operation system unfolded above the Doctor’s head, artificially amplifying his spirituality. A piece of Machina’s machinery, created in real-time using the modified soldiers exiled from the mechanical city. The simplification and efficiency of the human sacrifice process. Even the stimulation of talent and spirituality using the operation system. Gathering miracles that shouldn’t exist in this place, the Doctor burned the lifespan of the body he used as a vessel without any remainder. Finally, the moment the ‘knowledge’ contained within the Doctor’s head was realized in reality.

The massive [Gate] made of mechanical parts began to rotate in place, emitting an intense light.

KU-GU-GU-GU-GU!!!!

“Well then, I’ll leave the rest to you… and step back.” The Doctor slowly tilted his head back, his fading eyes losing their light.

“It’s a shame I can’t watch until the end… but I’ll leave the rest to you.”

KII-GI-GI-GI-GIIK-!!!!

The mechanical city Machina’s ascension plan. The failed ascension gate, which connected to the second world, reappeared here once again. A degraded version of the ascension gate, forcibly opened by combining Artermeier’s knowledge and the system’s power. Beyond the massive [Gate] created by rotating the pile of machinery, an unidentifiable noise stuttered. The moment the remnants of the completely destroyed second world explosively poured towards the center of the area.

Kyonroe, with nine wings, and the noise of the ascension gate collided fiercely, reversing space-time into black.

[Ascension Gate Open]

JJEO-EO-EO-EO-EONG!!!!!!!!

The laws that existed in different worlds. The ascension rituals that dreamed of challenges to different worlds. Though their goals were different, the two ascension rituals, similar only in their desires, overlapped and collided in one space-time. Forcing their different laws and miracles onto each other, they went mad, twisting and tearing each other apart.

KWA-GWA-GWA-GWA-GWA-GWA!!!!!!

“Everyone, duck your heads!!!!”

“Don’t take that impact head-on!!!”

The dark blue lightning and the unknown noise collided and distorted, spreading like a ricochet throughout the labyrinth. The pale hands, grasping each other, and the noise of the ascension gate mixed and influenced each other. At the same time, Kyonroe, who had been spreading its wings in the center of the labyrinth, stopped moving in its tracks.

[…….]

PA-JIK, PA-JI-JI-JIK!!!!!

Enveloped in dark blue lightning, it flashed, and in the same posture as when it released its nine wings. It seemed to have stiffened in place, colliding fiercely with the ascension gate that had unfolded before it. Ermong, who had descended to the ground on golden arches, stared blankly at Kyonroe.

“I-It stopped… didn’t it?”

“…”

PA-JIK, PA-JIK…!!!!

Beneath the nine wings spread towards the sky, dark blue lightning began to gather. The condensed current became sharp lightning, darkening Ermong’s face the moment it flashed. The hundreds of eyes that appeared on the surface of the wings glared at the ground with bloodshot eyes.

Electric-type Unique Magic

Nature Transformation Manifestation

Destiny’s Scale: Extreme Art 5

[Constant Thunder]

KWAA-AA-AA-AA-AANG!!!!!!

A sphere of dark blue lightning exploded like a star, covering and rotating through the labyrinth.

“Kkyaaaaak!!!!”

“N-No way…!!!!”

“I don’t want to die-”

A massive sphere of lightning, rotating with limitless heat. The ability users of the vanguard and the soldiers of the legion were helplessly swept away and torn apart by the heat of the Constant Thunder. A massacre that even the commanders leading the troops, the surviving rosary users, and the mechanized legion’s sergeants could not avoid. As soon as they saw that, Baragan and Esteban moved simultaneously.

“Psychic!!!!”

“I know.”

The reason why Kyonroe, who had been completing the ascension ritual until now, switched back to attack mode and started a massacre. The fact that it started killing the legion by chanting magic was proof that there was a problem with the ritual. The Doctor’s guess was correct. In this moment where Kyonroe’s ascension ritual and the ascension gate collided simultaneously in one space-time. If Kyonroe’s ascension ritual had stopped even for a moment due to the existence of the ascension gate, there was only one thing to do. The pale hands dashed through the surging demonic realm, and the two scattered to either side.

“The Lord of the Seat told me the method. I will use it now.”

“Ah, yeah!! This side is ready too…!!!!”

Esteban condensed mercury in his hand, and Baragan roared, taking out his dark scales.

“Victor!!!!!”

Baragan, riding on Quetzalcoatl, shouted as he dashed across the ground. “I’m going to pull Kyonroe out of those wings now!! Get ready!!!” The manipulator of Pandemonium [a chaotic realm], who could face Kyonroe head-on in a battle of techniques even for a brief moment. Even the ability of that guy who intervened at crucial moments to coordinate the battlefield was needed at this moment. Just as Baragan was about to lead the way, shouting fiercely and leading Quetzalcoatl.

“Alright.”

A distorted voice echoed from somewhere.

“This is… the last time.”

WHOOSH!!!

In an instant, a shadow robe fluttered and began to fall from the far side of the labyrinth. The robe falling above the heads of the allied forces rushing towards Kyonroe, who had stopped the ritual. But what existed inside the old robe was not an obsidian mask with red eyes flashing.

KII-GI-GI-GI……

A giant with a hooked nose, emitting a sinister laugh while making a bizarre sound. The moment they realized the existence of the summoned beast, hanging upside down and looking down at the battlefield with eight arms clasped together. Victor silently landed behind Baragan.

“Magnetic Field Deployment.”

KII-II-II-II-ING!!!!

The black magic gathered in the air, rotating, piercing and pulling at space-time. Numerous lines of light, sucked in from all directions, twisted and rotated intricately like tangled threads. As the light distorted along the dark horizon, the moment it unfolded like a giant eye.

“Non-Succession Binding.”

The dark distortion point formed from the other side of space, rotated in the darkness and landed in reality.
