Genius Wizard Takes Medicine [EN]: Chapter 588

The methods are diverse, and the ideas are limitless. Inspiration gained from trying new things is an invaluable asset for a mage. Experiencing and perceiving various senses through diverse experiences is always a novel challenge, but it is also something that must always accompany a mage. That’s why Lenox has continuously experimented with new unique magics and various types of spells, while also striving not to neglect the power he originally possessed. Raising Davi’s combat abilities and manifesting that power to a level that can interfere with the material world is also part of that effort. To maximize the use of the cybernetic spirit’s power in reality, Lenox had been relentlessly going through trial and error.

‘Davi’s essence is a cybernetic spirit born between algorithms and necromancy,’ Lenox thought.

‘Manipulating the cybernetic space and indirectly influencing it to create derived results is Davi’s essence. But…’

He believes that Davi’s potential does not end there. The cybernetic spirit that is with Lenox is the first and last intelligent entity that Lenox created with his talent and desire. Therefore, it is not strange that Davi shares some of the talent and potential that Lenox possesses. Hasn’t Davi already created algorithms for automatic driving and automatic flight to help Lenox with his terrible driving skills? Lenox knew that this was far beyond the meaning of achievements and results that could simply be created as a spirit. If Davi’s ability to generate algorithms could be directly applied to combat, rather than actions like driving or flying.

The automatic combat algorithm, which started from a trivial idea and took shape after hundreds of attempts. The transparent flames that had been circling around Davi began to rotate rapidly, instantly taking different positions and emitting magical power.

*Pzzzzzt…!!*

The first fox fire, wrapped in dazzling electricity, slammed its own flames into the monkey’s body. The second fox fire continuously shot out thin lightning bolts as if to check the shaman. The third fox fire deployed an electric field as if to protect Lenox, blocking the blood splattering from the monkey spirit’s spear. It was as if the spirit Davi had split into three parts on the spot, each taking on a different role.

*Kieeeek!!*

The fox fire, which had instantly burned and severed one of the monkey’s arms, blazed dazzlingly. The shaman hurriedly deployed a plant barrier to block the second fox fire, and the spear thrown by the monkey as it whipped its tail was intercepted by the third fox fire, which threw itself in front of it. The artificial combat assistance thought entity [Fox Fire], realized through the activation of Davi’s automatic combat algorithm. Its true value is not simply in being used in combat as Davi’s new weapon. Each fox fire becomes an AI that actually thinks and engages in combat, making judgments comparable to the combat intelligence of a cybernetic spirit and moving like a soldier. Lenox’s lightning system. Among them, it is a new source of common magic that can be cast by proxy, a power that reverses the situation to their advantage.

[I’m going…!!]

Davi also flew up from above Lenox’s head, raising his magical power along with the fox fires he controlled. He simultaneously struck the monkey’s crown with a massive lightning bolt and disrupted the shaman’s spell with an electric shockwave.

[Lightning Sequence]

[Multi Spell: Howling]

Responding to Davi’s incantation, the fox fires began to simultaneously use common lightning spells from their respective positions.

*Wooooooong!!*

[Electronic Wave]

[Chain Lightning]

[Pile Bolt]

The electric shockwave disrupted the shaman’s spell, the chain of lightning grabbed the monkey’s legs, and the lightning bolts pierced the spirit’s tail and arms, sealing its movements.

*Kwaaang!!*

[Crasher Bound]

[Slide Vortex]

[Damage Call: Burner]

The three fox fires simultaneously chanted different common spells, covering all areas and structures of the lecture hall corridor where the battle was taking place. Without giving a single moment of opening, they madly unleashed lightning, pressing down on the monkey and the shaman.

*Kwa kwa kwa kwa!!!*

“Sh, sh*t…!! You crazy bastards…!! This isn’t a spirit… Kuaaaak!!!”

*Kieeeeeeek!!*

The shaman and the spirit screamed in agony within the swirling vortex of blazing lightning. With both the spirit and the shaman in sight, their movements were so precise that they simultaneously disrupted the spirit’s direct combat and the shaman’s auxiliary incantations. Not only did they each grab and mark their targets, but the three fox fires constantly switched positions, avoiding attacks and landing direct hits. Each time their positions and turns changed, they would switch the incantations they used as if they had agreed on it, firing and wielding different common spells, flashing from all directions.

*Pabababat!!*

Not just thought entities born from Davi’s power, but a synchronized movement that made them think, breathe, and move at the same time.

*Kiek, Ukkikkit…!!!*

The monkey spirit was swinging its blood-made spear at the fox fires flying beside it, not at Davi. This was proof that it already recognized Davi and the fox fires as almost equal threats.

*Pajik!!*

The moment the spear, which the monkey had stabbed with the intention of inflicting a fatal wound, pierced the fox fire. The three fox fires extended their magical power to each other, forming a triangle with a strong line of electricity, surrounding the monkey spirit.

*Huuuuuung!!!*

The artificially created barrier of magical power relentlessly suppressed the spirit’s movements, pinning it down in one place.

*Kururung…!!*

From beyond the collapsed lecture hall corridor, an eerie thunder rumbled.

*Kiiik, Kieeeeeeek!!*

The monkey spirit, sensing the ominousness, also frantically thrashed about, desperately calling for help from the shaman. However, all the spells that the shaman hurriedly deployed were also shot down by Davi’s lightning on the spot.

“Eek, Kkeueueuek…!!”

[Too late, organic.]

The three fox fires simultaneously chanted one common spell, beginning to summon the power gathered from beyond the sky. It was a sacred technique that boasted the highest level of power for a single target among Lenox’s common magic systems. The lightning, which had amplified its power threefold by simultaneously casting the common spell three times, descended to the ground with three times the lightning.

Lightning System Common Magic

Resonance Deployment Triple Chant

[Thunder Calling]

The lightning of thought that flashed from beyond the sky pierced through the lecture hall building as if splitting it in two, turning the structures of the corridor and ceiling into a puddle of molten metal. *Kwaaaaaaaa!!!* The monkey spirit, bound by the fox fires, was swept away by the lightning and disappeared without a trace.

“Uwek…!!”

The shaman, who had collapsed on the spot, vomiting, due to the backlash of the spirit that had been swept away by the firepower without a scream or form. The organic nature and compatibility between spirits and shamans are the most intimate and often the most binding of all spell systems. As the spirit’s abilities can cover the shaman’s weaknesses in various ways, the coexistence of spirits and shamans is an important issue. The backlash that comes to a shaman whose spirit has been forcibly destroyed is a shock that even a high-ranking shaman of a shamanic group cannot easily dismiss.

[Master!]

The fox fires disappeared at the same time as the triple chant of Thunder Calling, but Davi himself flew briskly and nestled into Lenox’s arms. Since it was a thought entity created to reduce Davi’s burden and increase combat efficiency in the first place, it was made with the premise of being used in this way.

“Good job.”

Lenox smiled as he stroked Davi’s head. There are too many variables in the battles of superhumans, so for now, it can only be used in small-scale local battles, and even then, only against the same spirits. However, if this is continuously developed and eventually the artificial combat assistance thought entity can be used in all battles. The cost, such as mental power or resources consumed in combat, can be managed and optimized to the extreme. It can break free from the boundary of the cybernetic space and intervene in reality in other ways. If it is Davi’s power, who has seen and learned all the magic and judgments that Lenox uses from the closest place, he could become a much more powerful being than an average mage. Is this the feeling and joy of a shaman or trainer who raises a spirit? As Lenox thought that, he naturally raised his hand to cut off the shaman’s breath, but then he coughed and straightened his posture at the sound of the students’ voices from behind.

“Assistant Professor Evan!!”

“Thank you so much for saving us…!!”

“Davi, thank you for saving me!!”

“From now on, I will have a time to offer snacks to Davi every day!”

“Ahem, please step back as they are not properly subdued yet.”

Lenox, who had created a chain of lightning through Davi to bind the shaman’s limbs, turned around with a smile, making the students step back. There is no problem in dealing with terrorists who have invaded the school, but there is no need to kill them in front of students who are not used to such things. If disposal is necessary, it can be done later in a place where no one else is watching.

“This person will be detained for now and will be judged by the law when the police arrive later.”

Lenox, who was appeasing the students with words he didn’t mean, turned his head towards Priscilla, who was urgently pulling him from behind.

“A, Assistant Professor…!! This is not the time for this, if we don’t rescue Assistant Professor Cassia…!”

“…Cassia, you say?”

Lenox said that and instead looked bewildered. Priscilla also tilted her head with a slightly blank expression at that sight.

“Huh, why the reaction…?”

“Priscilla. It seems you didn’t fully understand the meaning of the signal I gave you when I went out earlier.”

Lenox smiled and shook his head.

“Even if you had been waiting in the lecture hall, no one would have died. Someone who noticed the anomaly early on…”

*Taang!!*

A loud gunshot echoed from the other side of the corridor. The students’ faces turned pale at the dull gunshot, similar to the shotgun the leopard was holding. At the same time, quiet footsteps could be heard from the end of the corridor, which was being restored in real time. However, unlike the other students who were hesitantly stepping back, Lenox chuckled and turned his gaze towards that direction.

“Would have been running towards the lecture hall.”

*Thud!!*

Something fell, covered in blood, at the intersection of the corridor. The face of a middle-aged man, unconscious with his eyes rolled back and his face battered. Someone who appeared from behind the man threw away the leopard mask they were holding and yawned.

“Damn it, why does this kind of commotion have to happen when I’m filling in…”

A young woman with dark navy hair tied up, a thin shotgun slung over her shoulder. Even Cassia, who followed her, staggering with a slightly pale face. Priscilla’s face brightened as she immediately recognized that face.

“Sister!”

Mila, a member of the Antares Mercenary Group and Priscilla’s older sister, was at the school.

“You came to save us!!”

“No. I was here from the beginning?”

“…?”

“Well, you don’t know, but our mercenary group is in charge of Evan’s security.”

Mila scratched her cheek, looking at Priscilla, who had stopped with wide eyes.

“It wasn’t my turn today, but there was a mix-up in the shift change, so I got lost for a while.”

“…”

“So, I had no choice but to find my own way and arrived at the Elemental Studies lecture hall, and there were a bunch of guys who escaped from the zoo…!!”

Mila said that, looked at the quiet group, and then suddenly burst into laughter.

“Ahahaha!! Anyway, I caught the enemy and solved it! Everyone is safe now, so rest assured!”

“…”

The students were silent, not knowing how to react. Cassia was smiling with a troubled look, and Davi was shaking his head, looking at Mila with a look of contempt. Mila stopped laughing and turned her head awkwardly.

“…Was the timing a bit off?”

“No, I think you arrived just in time.”

Lenox smiled and gestured to Mila, turning her gaze.

“There was something that needed Mila’s help.”

The two’s gazes reached the leopard and monkey shaman who had just fainted.
