Genius Wizard Takes Medicine [EN]: Chapter 1255

Aftermath (9)

[Master, hurry, hurry!!]

“Okay, okay.”

After meeting with the Balkan City Lord and finishing the matter of the 19th District, Lenox, guided by Mila, had taken a look around the outskirts of the 49th District and returned to the mansion under the guise of taking a break.

This was because the moment Lenox realized that deep web access had become smooth, Davi, who had been holding back, began to go wild.

After returning to the mansion and organizing the medicine and gifts he received from the mercenaries, he unfolded the hologram screen and accessed the deep web.

Davi, who had nestled into Lenox’s arms, let out a rough breath.

[Hoo, hoo.]

“Calm down. Breathe, breathe.”

Lenox, with a dumbfounded expression, lifted Davi and shook the spirit’s front paws alternately.

Only after Davi flew around in the air a few times, following the plane Lenox was providing, did he take a deep breath.

[Haa, haa.]

“……I don’t know why you’re reacting like this. How excited are you?”

[I, I can’t stand it.]

Davi faintly trembled his front paws like someone experiencing withdrawal symptoms.

[I can’t stand not looking down on the organisms that worship Master!]

“……”

With Davi’s abilities, he would have known that the deep web had been normalized a long time ago.

Perhaps he should be praised for his patience in holding back so as not to interfere with Lenox’s work.

“Okay, okay, so……”

Leaving behind the rare sight of Lenox calming Davi, who was huffing and puffing, he raised the screen.

Holding the electronic spirit, who had instantly entered spectator mode, in his arms, Lenox headed to the address of the post he had accessed earlier.

Lenox, too, had been keeping an eye on the title of the post that Dylan had been having a heated keyboard battle over.

[Title: Analysis of the Fortress’s Behavior Patterns and Possibility of Capture Through the Subjugation Battle (Discussion Welcome)] + 437634

“……Hmm.”

Behavior patterns. Possibility of capture.

A strange title that seemed to be analyzing something that was not a high-ranking mage, but something other than a human.

It was a topic selection that was full of discomfort, but Lenox knew why such a post had been uploaded.

No, perhaps he had thought that a post discussing such an analysis might actually appear on the deep web.

The Fortress Subjugation Battle.

In the war against the Legion, that was the response Lenox had chosen using his Avatar [a magically created body controlled by a mage].

After putting the Avatar, who had eaten the fruit of Jinwa [a mythical fruit], on the battlefield as a Fortress, he repeated the massacre of the Legion’s main forces.

He adjusted the Avatar to be able to handle level 9 lightning and at the same time lured the Legion into the inner area.

The power of the Half-Bow. Ethan’s blood. The fruit of Jinwa.

In order to handle the rampaging Avatar after obtaining three transcendental factors, a clear code of conduct was necessary.

Therefore, Lenox designed the game so that the Avatar’s movements were thoroughly divided into stages to carry out the war.

Conversely, it was only natural that those who watched the subjugation battle would try to analyze the process by dividing it.

=There were many impressions and analyses after the subjugation battle, but since there were not many columns that analyzed the Fortress itself as a transcendent, I am leaving this post.

The main text began with a phrase that briefly mentioned Lenox and the subjugation battle.

=Like others who watched the war, I was very impressed while watching this subjugation battle.

=This is because I thought that all the magic he used was completely beyond the bounds of existing formulas, going beyond the level of discussing the Fortress’s known talents.

=Experts and academics in each field have begun full-scale research, and even if only a quarter passes, derivative papers on the Fortress will come out, but it will take time.

=So, before that, I will try to organize the behavior patterns that the Fortress used in the subjugation battle step by step, and analyze why he took these actions from the perspective of the opposing side.

=The following is an analysis based purely on the author’s 100% speculation, so if you have any objections, please leave them in the comments with appropriate evidence for reference.

1. Summary of the 5 behavior patterns shown by the Fortress in the subjugation battle.

2. Conjecture of the results and intentions caused by each behavior pattern.

3. Summary of the final results that the Fortress was trying to achieve.

“……It’s serious. Even organizing a table of contents separately?”

Is the poster planning to show the table of contents and share the analysis sequentially?

While Lenox was shaking his head in bewilderment, Davi quickly scrolled down the post.

The poster was writing an explanation of the table of contents in a calm tone.

=The Fortress capture consists of 5 stages, and it is characterized by the fact that the behavior patterns are completely different at each stage.

=The tasks and precautions that the personnel participating in the capture must take are different for each stage, so you must know exactly what you have to do in order to minimize casualties and move on to the next phase.

=Now, I will summarize and analyze the behavior patterns and phases that were observed sequentially for the Fortress capture.

Along with that phrase, a blurry video was attached right below.

The image of a soaring messenger phoenix in a screen with crazy noise and stuttering.

The image of a phantom beast species being engulfed in dark blue lightning and annihilated in an instant the moment it entered the 49th District was captured.

=Capture Phase 1: Declaration of Instant Death.

=Concentrate dark blue nebulas on the opponent who enters the area and emit lightning. Annihilate the spirit and body by designating them regardless of their rank.

=As a result of restoring the Legion’s engagement records, the life signal of the 8th Legion Commander Townsend was completely lost within about 0.15 seconds. Judged dead at the start of the engagement.

=The subjugation battle commander, Daymus Rayon, estimated that the formula was a power that mixed the nature of ‘death’.

=Response 1) Refrain from entering the area as much as possible and widen the area of impact while building a large formation.

=Response 2) Compress the power as much as possible and use it as a shield so that the core forces participating in the capture are not instantly killed.

After a brief summary, the author’s analysis and opinions were added.

=This is the shortest pattern of all the capture phases of the Fortress, and it is also the most impossible pattern to research.

=There are only 4 types of instant death formulas or abilities known to have existed in the history of the continent, and most of them have been passed down through literature or folk beliefs.

=Although there are relatively many video records left as it was the very beginning of the subjugation battle, there are still no researchers who have grasped the direction.

=However, based on the fact that the Fortress did not use the formula that often, it is presumed that there are some kind of restrictions.

=The author infers that it is a kind of ‘word spirit’ that is only possible when the Fortress is completely fused with the area.

“……”

Lenox, who had been reading the post, stopped his hand with a cold expression.

Davi, who felt the sudden change in atmosphere, raised his head.

[Master?]

“Word spirit, huh……”

Lenox smiled bitterly and lowered his gaze.

“As expected, there are more people with good eyes on the deep web than I thought.”

[……Shall we just push it down?]

Davi’s eyes flashed, and he belatedly cleared his throat.

[Ahem. Before that, let’s, let’s just look at all the posts posted here…….]

“No. Let’s keep watching. I thought that someone might recognize it due to the nature of the subjugation battle.”

Lenox said that and scrolled down.

“Since I know that the person who wrote the analysis is insightful, I should check the contents first.”

It is not an idea that a non-expert can come up with to infer the existence of a word spirit just from the existence of an instant death formula that killed Townsend.

It was proof that the author of the analysis was vaguely pointing out the experiment that Lenox had attempted during the subjugation battle using the fruit of Jinwa.

Just by reading the analysis and opinions on the first phase, he felt that he was becoming interested in this post.

Below the second table of contents was a scene of a golden sphere scattering a veil of death.

=Capture Phase 2: Parallel Deployment of Wide-Area Barrage Formulas.

“……”

Among the attached videos, the clearest quality and overwhelming scale, the scene of tens of thousands of soldiers from the Legion’s main forces evaporating.

The tanks and war weapons that were pouring fire on the 49th District were buried and swept away in a tidal wave of dark blue lightning, and a deafening roar erupted.

Below the turbulent video, there was a concise explanation that did not match the atmosphere of the video.

=Continuous emission of extreme-level formula bombardment over a wide area. Half of the Legion’s main forces were annihilated at the same time as entering Phase 2.

=Capture range of level 28 or higher. It was confirmed that most of the undeveloped area was within range.

=As a result of verifying the video records, it seems that some of the nearby satellite cities were significantly affected.

=Response 1) Abandon the existing formations and formations and distribute the forces as widely as possible.

=Response 2) Unlike Phase 1, the power of the formula is equivalent to normal bombardment. Induce damage dispersion by using war weapons or mobile fortresses as shields.

A brief explanation summarizing the scale, power, and countermeasures of Phase 2 using video records.

Below that, the author’s personal opinions and analysis were added.

=As a special note, there is no speed in the formula. It has been confirmed that it has not been measured by the observation equipment of other forces.

=It is presumed that it captures the range and target of the attack at the same time as the formula is chanted, and gives the property of being unavoidable at the point when the chant is finished.

=Each bombardment seems to have a power equivalent to extreme magic. A strategic-level mage must accompany when participating in the capture.

=It is the most vast amount of energy used in each phase of the subjugation battle, and derivative research is actively underway on the power conversion process of the formula.

=The most likely is the magic power nuclear fusion based on Professor Evan Bailon’s paper on magic power and power conversion, who officially promised cooperation with the Fortress…….

“The author of this post is likely to be someone who knows a lot about me and my magic tower.”

Lenox paused scrolling and fell into thought.

“At this point, he is even considering Evan Bailon’s paper as a basis for inference. It is impossible for someone who does not know about my magic tower to reach that point.”

[That’s not wrong, but…… there are too many of Master’s stalkers on the deep web, so it seems difficult to identify the target?]

“……Stalkers?”

[There are more than twenty people who only collect and organize Master’s actions and timelines. They are all regulars on the Diamond bulletin board.]

“……”

He had never checked with Davi separately, but were there that many people chasing Lenox on the deep web?

He knew that mentions of Lenox had increased exponentially after the Thousand Battles with the Fortress, but it seemed that the network’s reaction was getting more intense over time, rather than cooling down.

If he didn’t pay more attention to Lenox’s identity or disguise, variables could occur in unexpected places.

Lenox tapped the screen, pondering whether he should pay a little more attention to the network’s reaction in the future.

“Let’s go to the next one. I can guess what will come out, but……”

After seeing this far, he could guess the analysis that would come next even before scrolling down.

Kuooh-

A video file showed only a golden fighter jet traversing the airspace of the Balkan outskirts.

Unlike the clear video of Phase 2, this one was covered in harsh noise, with only a bizarre resonance echoing.

Dark blue lightning and golden resonance mixed, creating a strange harmony, with only a blurry scene of the battlefield being crushed.

The description below the video was also somewhat different from the previous two phases.

=Phase 3 Strategy: Shape Transformation

=Manipulate the mass of the golden sphere ridden by Kyunroe to transform it into the shape of an aircraft. Initiate direct combat.

=Reassemble and manipulate a war machine hundreds of meters in size in real-time in mid-air. Immediately after, the 3rd Command Primo Alert is half-destroyed.

=Judging from the circumstances of initiating shape transformation simultaneously with the 3rd Command’s approach, it is presumed that the recognition of an ultra-large mass body equivalent to the sphere is the trigger.

=Upon entering Phase 3, the patterns of Phase 1 and Phase 2 are used alternately with about 30% of the usual output and scattered across the battlefield.

=At the point of entering this pattern, it is impossible to respond with ordinary superhuman power.

“……What is this?”

[Fuhuhu.]

A concise phrase that momentarily broke Lenox’s concentration as he was reading the post.

Hugging Davi, who was rolling around as if amused, Lenox checked the paragraph where the author’s analysis was written.

=If you’ve read the analysis this far, you’ll understand that the necessary responses in Phase 1 and Phase 2 are completely different.

=In the previous two phases, all forces participating in the strategy must repeat gathering and dispersing at precise times, focusing on maximizing damage distribution.

=Even if this measure is perfectly executed, casualties cannot be avoided, and the instant death of key forces participating in the strategy must also be constantly kept in mind.

=However, when entering Phase 3, it starts flying around the battlefield while alternating between the patterns of Phase 1 and Phase 2.

=Although the power is much weaker than the existing patterns, it is virtually impossible to evade or defend against them.

(If you want to read this opinion, go to the next page)

“……Next page?”

What kind of page division is there when reading a post on the deep web?

While Lenox was focusing on the strange phrase with a puzzled look, Davi quickly scrolled down.

Unlike the incomprehensible phrase, the explanation continued below.

=The commander of the subjugation battle, Daymus Rayon, recognized the aforementioned problem and chose the extreme solution of deploying the core forces of the legion to District 49.

=Despite the result of Townsend, who advanced into District 49, being instantly killed, the judgment was made that the safest place on the battlefield was inside Kyunroe’s domain.

=As a result, the subjugation battle was able to continue to Phase 5, but from the perspective of reviewing the engagement, this cannot be considered a normal countermeasure.

=This is because the possibility of those who are trying to face Kyunroe by using the engagement records of the subjugation battle as a textbook being given the opportunity to make the same judgment as Daymus is extremely low.

“……”

The sentences continued without a hitch, adding specific grounds and detailed explanations to the analysis of Phase 3.

Up to the point where, through a series of inferences, he finally reached a conclusion about Lenox’s magic.

Only then could Lenox realize what the author wanted to say through this column.

=If you’ve read the analysis this far, you’ll understand that the magic used by Kyunroe in the subjugation battle is completely different from what modern sorcerers use.

=It is heterogeneous, not standardized, and, in a way, filled with a primitive and powerful creativity that is as bewildering as it is powerful.

=This is also evidence that Kyunroe is using not the existing sorcery system, but rather incorporating language and magic theory, ancient practical sorcery, and even theses into his own magic system.

=The magic and powers he used in the subjugation battle. Even the transcendental sorcery that makes up each pattern may be nothing more than an impromptu result.

=Even if a war similar to the subjugation battle breaks out in the future, it is unlikely that Kyunroe will use the same sorcery or powers.

Before he knew it, Lenox was reading the analysis written after Phase 3 and the inferences about it without blinking.

More interesting than the summary of the subjugation battle were the analyses that the author of the post had written for each phase and the perspectives he had taken.

That must be because the author’s insight and perspective on sorcery were more outstanding and sharp than Lenox had thought.

=Therefore, rather than analyzing the subjugation battle to use it as a guideline for attacking Kyunroe, we must prioritize understanding what he wanted and why he accepted this war.

=As a result of reviewing the results of Phase 4 and Phase 5, it is possible that the act of opening District 49 itself was a ploy by Kyunroe to lure the legion…….

=In particular, the ‘ascension’ observed at the end of Phase 4 supports the cautious speculation of experts from various fields, making it a very reliable analysis.

(If you want to read this opinion, go to the next page)

[Huh?]

“The sentences are suddenly getting longer.”

At the same time as Davi felt puzzled and tilted his head, Lenox’s gaze lowered.

“In the previous paragraph, he was only pointing out the key points, but the explanation has become much more detailed. There must be a reason.”

He had perfectly summarized the behavioral patterns that the Incarnate had shown in the subjugation battle, and the analysis that followed immediately after was so detailed that it felt verbose.

Instead of immediately explaining the patterns and strategies of Phase 4 and Phase 5, he seemed to be warning how dangerous and difficult the latter patterns were.

It was as if the phrases were artificially increasing interest in these two follow-up contents before explaining Phase 4 and Phase 5.

Only after scrolling down could Lenox understand the identity of the discomfort he had just felt.

=The creativity and impromptu ideas that Kyunroe showed in the subjugation battle are also closely related to the ascension he attempted.

=This is not a concept that can be summarized with a concise explanation like the previous analysis, but rather requires more precise analysis and research.

=Based on this conclusion, I plan to write an analysis of Phase 4 and Phase 5 in the [Pen Arcadia] magazine, which will be newly published next month.

“……”

[……Huh?]

Davi and Lenox momentarily lost their words and stared blankly at each other.

Despite the strange silence flowing in the room, the scroll was slowly going down, showing the next sentence.

=Pen Arcadia magazine has been officially planned for a series launch with the publication permission of the Central Council of the City Government…….

=For only 299,990 cells, you can enjoy a variety of information about transcendents and sorcery across the continent…….

=In addition, a quiz supplement specially prepared by the author for subscribers is included at the back of the magazine…….

[Recommended: 45234] [Not Recommended: 868934]

Phrases that seemed to briefly introduce the Arcadia magazine and the benefits for subscribers.

At the bottom of the post, there were countless curses along with a barrage of dislikes.

└Ah, you fucking scammer, do you want to die?

└Seriously, this is such a bullshit.

└Ha… I was reading with so much focus, what is this;

└Why is this kind of dogshit viral post on the popular posts?

└The first way to piss someone off is to stop talking mid-sentence, and the second is….

Affectionate comments from users who were angry after facing the same feelings as Lenox.

Even at this moment, the number of comments was changing rapidly as they were pouring down below the post.

└The magazine price is fucking 290,000 cells lololol

└I’ll just give you 299,990 dislikes lol

└Already over 800,000 lol Why are there so many people?

└The subjugation battle is over, why aren’t you all going out to work and just hanging out on the community; Balkan’s future is bleak.

└Yeah~ For mercenaries like me, the holidays are starting now~

└What do you want me to do when it’s so much fun just looking at the deep web all day? If reality was more fun than the deep web, I would have gone out to work too lol

└That’s something to be proud of lol

└Even if it’s not for the criminals gathered here, Balkan is doing well, so don’t worry.

└Immigration applications are flooding in from all over the continent lol I work at the immigration office and I’ve been working overtime for three days lol

└You should have written ㅠㅠㅠ, you idiot lol

[Wow.]

Davi, who had been looking down at the chaotic comments, let out an exclamation.

Only then did the spirit, who had understood the situation, perk up his ears with a bewildered look.

[It seems like we got scammed?]

“I thought it was written after a fairly professional analysis, but it was a post with a specific intention from the beginning.”

Lenox smiled wryly and turned his gaze away.

It was only then that he understood why there was a phrase saying to go to the next page every time he scrolled through the post.

“There have always been attempts to use the deep web, but trying to record the information of the subjugation battle in a book. This is a novel idea in itself.”

[Hmph, trying to sell Master’s information in a book.]

Davi snorted.

[It’s outrageous, but can I go and plant a virus on that magazine site first?]

“Let’s do that later, let’s observe the reaction here a bit more.”

Lenox said that and scrolled down.

“The author of this post did talk about a magazine or something at the end, but his insight and perspective on analyzing my sorcery are very outstanding. Knowing that, the comments below are so angry.”

[That’s true, but…….]

“Above all, I’ve seen the method of writing the main text well and then cutting off the next content at an important part before. There must be people who have the same thought.”

[Ah, could it be?]

The existence of the black magician who had once swept through the deep web with stories about Kyunroe.

Was the discomfort felt in the post also the result of intentionally trying to imitate that tone?

As Lenox said, when he scrolled down the comments, the expected reactions and comments began to appear.

└But thinking about it, this post is the same style as that self-proclaimed black magician. Surely it’s not him, right?

└I don’t think so. That bastard is a attention seeker who has to reveal that he’s a black magician no matter what he writes.

└The tone is similar, but it doesn’t have the frivolous and chaotic feeling.

└It’s all because that Ermong bastard ruined the atmosphere of the deep web. Because he got attention by being an attention seeker, all sorts of riffraff are following him.

└Yeah, the old deep web was a forum for dignified intellectuals, I miss those days.

└Sorry, but this place has been a sewer from the beginning, hasn’t it?

└Okay, everyone, get out of the comment section. I’m trying to report it and take it down, but it won’t go down because you keep commenting.

└Are you an idiot? Rather, we should talk about the subjugation battle in the comments here so that this viral bastard won’t sell his magazine.

└Yeah~ I’m going to do the full analysis of the subjugation battle in this comment section~ It will never go down~

└If you’re the author of the post who thinks the magazine sales failed because of the comments, give a thumbs up lol

└I’ll write the analysis of Phase 4 and Phase 5 that this guy is trying to promote below, so give it a thumbs up.

“The managers of the deep web I met last time were not people who couldn’t distinguish right from wrong or were stupid.”

Lenox said that and touched the scroll.

“The reason why this post is still on the popular posts is because of the comments.”

The reason why this post, despite being a viral post, remained on the deep web’s diamond-ranked bulletin board.

That must be because the managers judged that the ‘analyses’ in the comment section of this post were worth it.

Thinking that far, Lenox scrolled down, then stopped his hand in front of the comment section, which was fighting like crazy in real-time.
