Genius Wizard Takes Medicine [EN]: Chapter 187

Plant (2)

Two mages simultaneously waved their hands at each other.

KWA-AA-AAANG!!

Without any warning, a fluorescent blaze erupted, spreading like a giant’s hand and engulfing the spot where Renok stood.

The flames that scorched the ground didn’t dissipate; instead, they rose and rotated, forming a massive pillar of fire.

Renok calmly protected himself with a shield, stepping back to observe the scene.

The pillar of fire that the young man had unleashed didn’t simply vanish; instead, it birthed a new life within it.

[GROOOOOOO!!!]

From the center of the fire pillar, a fluorescent giant over three meters tall emerged, parting the waves of flame.

The giant glared at Renok, letting out a bizarre cry.

Renok also ignited flames in his hand and slammed them into the ground.

At the same moment that a massive wall of fire rose from the ash-filled ground,

The fluorescent fist of the giant collided with it.

KWA-AA-AA-AANG!!

An alien fluorescent light mixed with the shockwave that spread out.

As the two streams of fire collided, an impossible tearing sound echoed.

Flames, which shouldn’t possess physical force, defied the existing laws of physics within the framework of a mage’s will and spell.

Perhaps this was one of the characteristics of unique elemental magic.

Renok, who had only studied the unique magic of the Torburn School, couldn’t have known this, but having acquired the unique magic of the Blaver Magic Tower, he could roughly guess.

“That’s not how you do it.”

“…What?”

“You need to develop it slowly, step by step. Wasn’t it decided how to start?”

[Exploding Fireball]

[Quadruplication – Resonance]

WHOOSH!!

Four fireballs rose from Renok’s hands, simultaneously dissolving into four streams of fire.

In an instant, they occupied the four cardinal directions around the giant, drawing a massive spiral that converged at one point as they rotated.

[Fire Suppression]

PA-AA-AA!!

The intense wave caused by the resonance of the four streams of fire began to consume the giant’s entire body, followed by a desperate scream.

[OOOOOOOOOO!!]

Fire suppressing fire. Renok’s flames burned away the giant summoned by the young man, gradually crushing its existence.

The giant thrashed around, searching for its master, but the young man didn’t seem to dwell on his creation for long.

As soon as he realized that the first exchange had gone wrong, he abandoned the giant without hesitation and began to create new flames to shoot at Renok.

DUDUDUDU!!

More than a dozen long flames shot through the air.

As they whipped around like lashes, suppressing movement and charging in, Renok also pulled out a fireball once more.

Renok’s fireballs, perfectly placed in every space where the fire whips were swung, exploded simultaneously, creating another wall of fire.

The curtain-like barrier, which had spread out widely, rotated and wrapped around, forming a giant spear of fire.

Conversely, the dozens of fire whips that the young man had shot out spread out widely, turning into a giant net of fire.

[Returning Flame]

[Fire Net]

KWA-AA-AAANG!!

In the midst of the relentless storm of fire, the two mages moved their hands without rest.

According to the magic power and will they projected, the flames they shot out continued to change shape and swell in size without fading.

KUOOO-OOO-!!!

The two different colored streams of fire whipped around the sunset sky, changing the color of the firmament.

Unique fire magic is different from electric-type magic that draws out maximum power with a single cast.

Once cast, the flames do not easily disappear, and the heat remains even in the place where the flames have left.

Magic power is added to the already projected magic power, and will is added to that again.

Once transformed into flames, the magic power continues to expand its power and range without flowing out of the fingertips.

It continues to expand and amplify until the mage’s capacity is reached.

The nature of flames that constantly grow and explode.

The unique magic of the Blaver Magic Tower was aimed at maximizing this nature and efficiency.

The flames of the two people, which had started with fireballs and whips of fire, had somehow turned into a huge wave of fire, surging from all directions.

Two completely different colored fire seas, tens of meters in size, surged and crashed against each other, with the plant in between.

In the midst of the trance-like exchange, the young man’s face, which had been filled with joy, was now horribly distorted.

“How, how… this is impossible. How dare you, how dare you mix magic with me…!!!”

An opponent he had never considered to be on the same level.

What must it feel like to resort to drugs to improve one’s magical abilities and still not be able to defeat even a fellow mage from the same magic tower?

Instead of answering that empty feeling, Renok focused on manipulating his magic power.

The reason why the young man doesn’t doubt Renok’s identity, despite showing several instances of cognitive abilities that don’t suit Weizen and presenting unbelievable magical feats one after another, is because.

Every moment Renok uses magic, he is imitating Weizen’s magic pattern.

If they have met each other inside the same magic tower, they would be familiar with each other’s magic patterns.

That’s why the young man can only think that Weizen has been hiding his true strength until now, rather than thinking that someone has disguised themselves as Weizen.

KWA-AA-AA-AA-AA!!

The surging sea of fire.

The sky and the ground were each burning red with the sunset and flames.

In the temperature that exceeded the limit, the parched soil began to evaporate, unable to withstand the heat.

The ground gradually began to sink around the two mages who were stirring magic power in all directions.

The young man’s face became even more miserable as he realized that the ground level was gradually decreasing.

“Senior, are you scared?”

Renok smiled.

He had never had a teacher or senior before, but the fun of teasing a senior he was seeing for the first time was quite enjoyable.

“Well, of course you would be. If my guess is correct, there’s a drug factory hidden underground in this plant that you have to hide at the risk of your life.”

“…Shut up.”

“I’m going to cut off your limbs, cauterize the wounds, and then drag you to the magic tower to expose your misdeeds. To think that a traitor who dares to collude with the underworld has emerged from our proud Blaver Magic Tower.”

“Heh heh… you really don’t know anything.”

The young man, sweating profusely, tried hard to raise the corners of his mouth.

“Do you really think that all of this could have been done by me alone? You don’t even have the right to glimpse the truth. That’s all.”

“…”

Indeed, it’s hard not to react to the provocations that a mage, whom he had been secretly looking down on, was constantly throwing at him, even though he was pretending to be okay on the outside.

Renok smiled as he saw the young man, who was unknowingly spilling the secrets of the Blaver Magic Tower.

“Well, that’s a satisfying answer.”

Renok has no attachment or pity for the unknown magic tower.

It seems that the Blaver Magic Tower is secretly working with the drug lord, but if Renok pretends to betray the drug lord by acting as the magic tower’s messenger, it was obvious which way the drug lord’s attention would turn.

Even if he couldn’t thwart the drug lord’s plan in this place, the assets and forces he possessed would soon turn in another direction.

“But before that, let’s prove who is the true successor of fire.”

With a large swing of both arms, the flames in all directions surged, creating a huge melody.

The power of this powerful area magic that spreads from a tiny flame and burns the entire ground.

This powerful breath of fire that sweeps the ground just by breathing is proof that Renok has already far surpassed Weizen.

It’s ironic.

The stark truth that the true essence of magic is closer to Renok, who rolled on the ground and inhaled dust, than to the young geniuses who devoted their lives to the Blaver Magic Tower and research.

It leaves a terrible scar on everyone else except him.

He raised his right hand, bending and twisting his index and middle fingers.

The moment a simple hand seal and Renok’s powerful will combined, the flames that had been surrounding Renok began to rotate around the young man, drawing a huge ring of fire.

[Great Flame Wheel]

[Karmic Flower]

The most powerful unique fire magic that Weizen knew, even if only through knowledge, was unleashed in this place.

It suppressed the fluorescent flames that should not have existed and began to tighten their grasp.

“Ugh, ugh, ugh, ugh, ugh!!!! This can’t be happening!!!”

Only then did the young man realize that Renok still had some power left and screamed.

[Six-Pronged Crimson]

The young man also tried to resist by using a unique magic that split the flames into six and shot them in all directions, but the ring of fire did not stop.

“It seems that you have increased the power of your magic by using drugs, but your sustainability is terrible. It’s probably because your concentration is constantly breaking due to the drug’s effects that are stirring your mind.”

It’s easy to be deceived by the powerful force and the alien color, but simply put, it’s like the output is high because you’re forcibly drawing breath, but the flow is constantly breaking in the middle.

Such side effects may not be noticeable usually, but they act as a fatal flaw when mages of similar levels manipulate magic power.

Perhaps the young man was aware of this fact, but he never thought that Weizen would push him this far.

That’s why Renok was trying to avoid drugs that affect the mind in any situation.

Especially since the shackle that binds him is on the physical side, not the mental side.

Once the momentum starts to wane, it cannot be stopped.

The sea of fire that had been burning the plant’s farm and evaporating the ground had disappeared, and the ring of fire that Renok had swung was constantly crushing the young man.

Even in the moment when he seemed to have almost completely seized victory, Renok did not let his guard down.

The level that a mage with that much magic power wanted to reach by borrowing the power of drugs could not have been just this.

A twisted determination settled on the young man’s face as he looked around in a hurry.

Renok quietly gathered his magic power as he confirmed the three packets of drugs hanging from the young man’s fingertips as he rummaged through his chest.

“Haa, haa, haa…!!! HAAAAAA-AAAAAAK!!!”

The young man’s pupils rolled back as he shoved three packets of powdered drugs into his eyes and nose, and he foamed at the mouth.

His expression was precarious, as if his consciousness would fly away at any moment, but conversely, the fluorescent flames flowing from his body increased in size and power.

Immediately after that, a colorless wave emanating from his body began to press down heavily in all directions.

The magnetic field, which only the chosen among the level 6 mages can obtain.

After inhaling a bunch of brain-numbing drugs, the young man finally stepped into that realm.

“Ahahaha, hahahah! Ahahaha!!! Finally…!!”

The young man’s face, laughing with joy, was so covered in tears and snot that it was hard to recognize his appearance.

At the same time that the magnetic field spread in all directions, the fluorescent flames flowing from his surroundings began to burn fiercely.

At that point, Renok reached out his hand towards the object in his chest with precision.

Irina Pesfield’s keepsake, now completely in Renok’s hands, an ancient artifact.

The Archangel’s Compassion flashed with a brilliant rainbow light inside his coat.

“Davi.”

[Ready.]

He had guessed that the guy would take drugs without thinking about the consequences if he was pushed into a corner.

Who else but him would understand the heart of a fellow drug addict?

If it simply turned into a power struggle, Renok would not lose, but it was inevitable that a considerable amount of time would be consumed in the process.

That was not what Renok wanted.

So, he forced a psychological battle, deliberately used magic that could be surrounded, such as the Great Flame Wheel, to push him into a corner, and then made him deploy the magnetic field.

The powerful will and vast magic power needed to deploy the magnetic field.

To aim for the moment of a gap when all of that is momentarily extended outward.

Davi confirms the item that Renok took out, and the moment he swings it forcefully towards the air, he activates the Archangel’s Compassion.

The powerful calculation ability using Davi’s algorithm, the transfer ability that does not use the magic power of the artifact, and Renok’s judgment that accurately captured the opponent’s gap combined to make all the flames and barriers between the two meaningless.

POOK!!

Something that appeared in front of the glowing young man pierced his chest with the same speed it was swung.

“…!!!!”

The young man’s body trembled greatly as if struck by lightning, and he slowly lowered his head.

Beyond the gaze seen with his half-rolled eyes.

A dagger with a twisted blade was piercing his heart.

TAANG!

Immediately after that, the bullet from the revolver that Renok took out hit the handle of the dagger accurately.

POOK!

At the same time that the tip of the blade protruded from his back, the energy of the curse formula penetrated his body.

It was a power that he would have scoffed at and ignored under normal circumstances, but at this moment when he was deploying the magnetic field with all his might.

At this point in time, when he was forcibly wielding a performance beyond his limits by borrowing the power of drugs, it became a small hammer blow that broke all balance.

CRASH!

The sound of glass breaking was heard from within.

It was the noise of everything the young man had built up over his lifetime collapsing.
