Genius Wizard Takes Medicine [EN]: Chapter 262

Pajijijik…!!

Even Davi, perched on Lenox’s shoulder, was crackling with electricity.

“Shall we move this somewhere else?”

Kwaaaang!!

At that moment, the dormitory’s backyard exploded, and the ground caved in. Amidst the swirling dust, a boy’s figure shot up like a spring.

After spinning a few times in the air, the boy landed gracefully on a dormitory window, staring down at his body.

His arm, which had been perfectly fine just moments ago, was gone, and blood was gushing from his shoulder.

“Oh, great.”

The boy chuckled wryly, touching his shoulder.

Kududeudeuk!!

In an instant, the bleeding stopped, and flesh pushed out from his shoulder, forming a new arm.

It was probably a good thing that Lenox was the only one who witnessed this bizarre sight.

“I wondered why there was such a commotion in the middle of the school, but it seems the story is already over?”

The boy’s gaze swept through the dormitory window, finding no signs of life.

While Lanfei was drawing the magic circle for the ritual, Priscilla had used the names of the Necromancy Department professors to quickly evacuate the other students.

Priscilla’s words that she would be of help had been spot on.

Even in this chaos, she had quickly assessed what she could do and moved to eliminate obstacles rather than directly assisting.

Paat!

The boy leaped from his spot and landed on the dormitory rooftop in an instant.

With a youthful face, he silently looked around at the scenery, then smiled contentedly.

“It’s a beautiful place, this city.”

“……”

“To think that such a grand civilization could be built without sincere faith, it’s truly astonishing.”

The boy seemed excited, like someone who had been away for a long time.

“That’s why humans are worth saving, and they deserve to receive His grace. I have never once doubted the path the Order is taking.”

The boy bowed politely to Lenox, who was looking up at him from the ground.

“Bishop Walter Martinez. Though I am lacking, I am fulfilling my missionary duty to spread the Order’s grace. What is the name of the sorcerer?”

Lenox, who had been staring at the boy with a clear gaze, replied.

“Mila.”

“Mila… is it? Very feminine…”

Kwaaaang!!

At that moment, Mila, who had appeared from behind, slammed the boy’s head into the rooftop floor with a lightning-fast dropkick.

The boy’s head was crushed against the dormitory roof, scattering blood.

Kagagak!!!

She didn’t stop there.

After flying through the air and smashing the boy’s head, Mila bounced back up and kicked the boy’s body, then relentlessly stabbed his neck with a dagger she had pulled from her pocket.

She hadn’t even properly heard who the opponent was, yet there was not a hint of hesitation in her actions.

The sound of flesh tearing against the sharp blade of the dagger.

But the boy’s neck was not severed.

Puuuk!!

The boy blocked the dagger with his palms, then grabbed the dagger and held on.

“Cough…!!”

The boy, with his face bloodied and mangled, smiled and said.

“Let’s… talk a little!!!”

Kwaaaang!!

At the same time as the boy kicked Mila, a circular shockwave erupted, and her body was thrown back.

But Mila, coughing dryly, gritted her teeth and held her ground.

The boy’s face slightly contorted at her unexpected resilience, and at that moment, Mila smiled.

“Die, you fake.”

Kwajik!!

She let go of the dagger and flipped her body in place. She ruthlessly dug her finger into the boy’s temple.

Mila’s magic-infused finger pierced the boy’s head, and blood streamed from his eyes, nose, and mouth.

Ujijijik!!

Lenox, who was watching the scene clearly through his sensory perception, shook his head.

It was the first time he had seen Mila, who always employed cunning tactics, attack so fiercely.

Mila hadn’t said anything about it, but it wasn’t hard to guess the reason for her ferocity.

It was probably the heart of a sibling who didn’t want any trouble to befall the school her younger sibling attended.

It would be best if they could capture him alive… but Lenox didn’t bother to stop her.

In this world where magic and sorcery were alive, unfortunately, the rule of ‘first strike wins’ didn’t apply often.

Especially if the opponent had appeared here using sorcery beyond common sense.

As expected, even with his brain in mush, the boy grabbed Mila’s arm and stood up.

“…!!”

“I’m sorry. It takes some time to melt down the sorcery, since the vessel is what it is.”

The boy, who had risen with a smirk, emanated a dense magical power.

“Shall we try again?”

Uuung!!

Right after a translucent bear figure appeared behind him.

The boy disappeared from his spot and kicked Mila without hesitation.

Bbaaaak!!

Mila, who had fallen off the rooftop, crashed into the ground around the collapsed area, letting out a rough groan.

“Kueueue!!”

She had managed to block it somehow by overlapping her arms, but the impact was so great that she couldn’t get up easily.

No, considering the amount of impact just now, it was a miracle that her arms weren’t broken.

She must have used some kind of psychic power she possessed to somehow mitigate the impact.

Lenox sighed and pulled something from his pocket, throwing it to Mila.

Cheolkeok!!

“Here, take this.”

“Ugh… my head is spinning… Huh? Where did this come from?”

What Lenox had given her was the shotgun he had bought from Gun and Barrel and used until now.

Lenox, who had acquired a new rechargeable shotgun through Mauser, no longer needed it, but for Mila, who had come without her equipment, there could be no better gift.

“It’s something I carry for self-defense.”

“Well, whether this is a coincidence or not… it’s very similar to the equipment I use at work.”

“……”

Mila didn’t seem too interested in why a magic university assistant professor was carrying a shotgun for self-defense.

Rather, she skillfully reloaded it with one hand and then brazenly held out her hand to Lenox.

“Ammo. You have more, right? Give it all to me.”

“Huu…”

As a ‘Ban’ [a powerful magic user], he wouldn’t fulfill all these requests, but there was a limit to the power of magic that ‘Evan’ [Lenox’s alias] could use.

If he recklessly used magic like Ban did, there was a high possibility that cleaning up after the fact would be a hassle.

Even Aris, who would cover for Lenox, was absent. Dealing with a member of the Guido Order was one thing, but he had to be careful.

When Lenox pulled out a few more shotgun magazines from his pocket and handed them over, Mila finally nodded with a satisfied look.

She looked up at the boy, Walter, who was smiling and looking down at them, and asked.

“What’s it like to fight as a spiritist? Can you give me a rough idea?”

“Aside from taking the front line, I can do pretty much everything.”

“Hoo.”

At those words, Mila turned to Lenox and smiled for the first time.

“That’s not a good thing to say where I work.”

“……”

Instead of replying, Lenox silently gestured with his chin towards Davi on his shoulder.

Davi shook his tail in a gesture of displeasure, but when Lenox slightly frowned, he obediently climbed onto Mila’s head.

“Uwat! Wait, what is this?!”

Mila, startled by the sensation of the materialized spirit, jumped up, and at that moment.

Pajijik…!!

The electricity that erupted from Davi’s body relentlessly pierced Mila’s crown.

“Aghghgh! …Uh?”

Mila was momentarily terrified by the tingling sensation on her tongue, but then she realized that a powerful vitality was coursing through her body and her senses had become heightened. She looked around in surprise.

Lenox, who had been watching with his arms crossed, chuckled and replied.

“I hope this answers your question.”

It was a magic that was made by adapting the amplification magic [Yoreishin] so that it could be used through Davi, but to Mila, it would not be strange to see it as a buff from a spirit.

A satisfied smile slowly spread across her bewildered face.

“Oh, so you weren’t just talking big?”

It didn’t just end with making her senses sharper.

It artificially manipulated the bioelectricity throughout her body to assist muscle movement, push her reflexes to the limit, and even properly assist the flow of magic.

It couldn’t create something from nothing, but it was a magic that could accelerate the speed of reaching 1 from 0 like crazy.

Mila, with a faint current flickering all over her body, turned her body sharply.

“I’ll see how far you can help me…!!”

Mila immediately ran across the broken ground and reloaded her shotgun.

She immediately flipped her body half a turn, leaped into the air, pointed the barrel downwards, and fired.

Bbaaang!!

At that moment, a huge shockwave was fired from the shotgun’s muzzle, instantly pushing Mila’s body tens of meters into the air.

Davi, who was lying flat with his front paws holding onto Mila’s hair, said.

[Contact in 1.7 seconds. Three evasion routes. Do you want to access the customized combat algorithm for the spirit?]

“Speak… easier!”

In the blink of an eye, Mila reached Walter’s face and twisted her body, kicking the boy’s chin.

Walter raised both hands and caught her somersault kick.

Bbeoeok!!!

He succeeded in absorbing the impact, but the boy’s body, unable to completely eliminate the recoil, fell from the dormitory rooftop.

Walter landed lightly, rolled to the side, and then shot forward.

The boy’s body, which had been battered, was now without a single drop of blood.

“The magic of necromancers feels something like this. It’s not a method that suits ignorant people like me… but I understand it roughly.”

The bear figure that had been floating behind Walter changed into a deer, and the boy’s body accelerated.

Walter, who had quickly battered Mila’s arms and legs, struck her back, and a choked cough burst from Mila’s mouth.

“Keuhaat…!!”

Just as Walter was about to approach Mila one step closer.

Pajijijik…!!

Lenox scattered electricity all around, with Davi at the forefront, quickly creating an electric barrier around Mila.

“Eum!”

On the surface, it looked like a branch of ordinary electric magic, but Walter retreated instead of rashly piercing through the flow of electricity and cutting off Mila’s breath.

He was undoubtedly wary of Lenox’s ability to break through the spatial displacement technique and Amrita’s scales, which he had created through the magic circle.

Lenox instantly grasped Walter’s hesitation from that subtle gesture and unleashed electricity without hesitation.

More than a dozen streaks of electricity, extending from all directions centered on Davi, rotated in a colorful manner, instantly surrounding Walter and spinning.

“Eum…!!”

Pajijijik…!!

It wasn’t just rotating in a circle.

It analyzed Walter’s breathing and the position of his hands and feet, determined a pattern, and then pierced the most difficult blind spots to counterattack.

Walter, as well as Mila, were slightly surprised by the sight of a precise electric encirclement being created around a single person, and they cast their gazes to the ground.

“Davi!!”

[Hacking complete. Full speed ahead!]

A jeep that appeared from the side with a rough engine sound rammed into Walter.

Bbaaaaaak!!

A perfect timing that was difficult to react to even if he was aware of it. An enormous amount of impact that even Walter couldn’t easily withstand.

The vehicle, which had been parked in a nearby research building, was hacked, targeting Walter, who was unable to move while caught in the electric net.

The vehicles that poured in one after another crashed into Walter, and the impact caused the surrounding streetlights to fall and press down on the boy.

Kugugugugung!!

It didn’t just end with pouring electricity, but a materialized attack that utilized the spirit to the limit.

Mila burst into a hearty laugh at the intense display of interference that instantly turned a block into a mess.

“You crazy bastards!! What the hell are you guys!”

[We are spirits.]

“A valuable talent was rotting away, I need to nag the captain…!!!”

Mila also immediately accelerated through the shockwave of the shotgun and rushed towards Walter, who had rolled out of the ruins.

The two people clashed again in the wreckage of cars and streetlights.

Tatatang!!

She wasn’t using shooting assistance magic like Lenox, but the speed at which she reloaded her magazines was extraordinary.

Her combat style, which freely performed attacks, acceleration, and changes of direction by repeating shooting and reloading five times in an instant with unfamiliar equipment, was a sensory move that relied entirely on Mila’s sense.

However, the sharp killing intent contained within was something that Walter could not ignore.

Davi also constantly emitted electricity, interfering with Walter by electrifying the surrounding steel bars and metals.

The smile disappeared from Walter’s face as he was quickly cornered, and a dense concentration replaced his emotions.

“Huuu…!!”

Uuung!!

What appeared behind the boy’s back as he took a breath and instantly pulled up his magic was a monster completely different from the animals he had shown so far.

With three eyes and chaotic tentacles, the bizarre shape that floated in the air had an intimidating presence that made one feel eerie, even though it was just a manifestation of thought.

At that moment, the boy’s body crumbled in place and passed through the wreckage of steel bars, which were flashing with electricity, as smoothly as a liquid.

Walter, who had reconstructed his body behind Mila in an instant, reached out without hesitation.

“…!!”

Sswaeaeek!!

Although the method of implementation was different, Lenox had seen a similar fighting style somewhere before.

Beck Clinton, a warrior of the Cigar Bang Gang, had also amplified his combat ability by overlaying a similar image on himself.

It was probably not the necromantic technique that Lanfei had learned.

However, Walter had undoubtedly altered the technique using Lanfei’s magic into a form that he could use for combat in his own way.

“This fake bastard is using strange techniques…!!”

The method Mila used to deal with it was simple.

Paaaang!!

She held the shotgun upside down under her arm and fired it backwards. She pushed Walter, who was rushing from behind, upwards.

Kwaaang!!

Walter’s body shot into the air, breaking through the wreckage of steel bars in an instant.

Not stopping there, she fired the shotgun in the opposite direction to catch up with the boy who had risen into the air.

Mila, who had flown into the sky using a shotgun and a psychic power that utilized shockwaves, fearlessly dove into the boy’s arms.

She whispered to the boy, who was staring up at her with a blank expression.

“If you don’t die even if I pierce your head, then there’s no other choice.”

Bbaak!!

Mila, who had flexibly bent her body in the air and kicked the boy’s chin, fearlessly shoved the shotgun’s muzzle into the boy’s mouth.

“I’ll smash your head to pieces.”

Kiiing…!!

The wave that spread along the shotgun’s barrel was compressed in front of the muzzle.

When the gunshot was heard, Walter’s head was blown apart as if a frame had been cut.

Taatang!!
