Genius Wizard Takes Medicine [EN]: Chapter 652

Kuurururung!!

The dazzling light of thunder ripped and tore through space.

Thunder, devouring the heavens and earth, burning steel as fuel, erupted with a force that seemed to transcend all limits.

Just a single mage. Just a single human.

The amplification, resonance, and backlash of magical power emitted by that one person were causing the entire workshop tower’s structure to melt down.

But what was even more incomprehensible was the fact that the power suits and tank units crushed by the mage’s hand were rising again.

Unidentifiable cybernetic waves were constantly emanating from Lenok.

As if taking those signals as commands, the machines destroyed on the battlefield rose around Lenok, forming a new force.

[Control of 87 exoskeleton suits has been seized!!]

[22 anti-aircraft guns’ interception program down!!]

[Find the system engineer. There’s an assistant helping the mage!!]

[The legion’s control is being taken away……!!]

Kwarurururu!!

Davi’s power had to be conserved to some extent, even to intervene in the Ascension Gate. [A gate to another dimension or plane of existence]

However, it wasn’t difficult for Lenok to maintain and mass-produce the legion’s equipment that he had once smashed and whose command system he had broken, creating a material offensive.

Therefore, Lenok was gathering the forces of destroyed machines like a necromancer handling machines, making them face the mechanized corps head-on.

Ku-gwa-gwa-gwa!!!

The broken debris gathered themselves, completed repairs in real-time, and clashed with the legion as a new force from behind Lenok.

The despair of having to face not only a mage shooting thunder but also the legion’s weapons that were allies just a moment ago.

[The formation is collapsing!!]

[No, if the armored infantry can’t hold on……!!]

[Hwaaaak!!]

Ujijijijik!!!

Just by having his attention momentarily diverted from the onslaught pouring towards Lenok, fragments of lightning split the steel forces vertically and crushed the legion’s formation.

If one were to calculate the gains and losses rationally, they should have stopped at the point where half of the formation was completely crushed.

However, even knowing that, the 3rd Legion Commander did not retreat; instead, he began to draw up his magical power with a cold face.

“There is no retreat.”

“Legion Commander!!”

“If we hold on a little longer, support from the side squads and other legions will arrive.”

Weeeeing……!!

Moving his body, which was combined with a massive tank, he aimed dozens of cannons attached to his body at Lenok all at once.

“If we can’t stop the Kenloe here, the top of the workshop tower won’t be far. We have no choice but to maintain the formation until Hermes opens the gate……!!”

Ku-gwa-gwa-gwa!!!

Spikes extending from the rear of the tank fused with the Legion Commander’s body dug into the ground, firmly fixing the vehicle.

The full-body modification of the 3rd Mechanized Corps Commander, completely sealing mobility and greatly increasing firepower.

With fixed bombardment that risked his own life, he greatly increased his firepower to a level surpassing level 7. [A power level in this world’s system]

Woo-oong!!

The moment a shell was loaded inside the muzzle and magical power rotated, an illusion of space distorting and shattering arose.

“……!!”

Lenok, who had been overwhelming the forces with continuous lightning magic, quickly turned his head.

In a fleeting moment, he lowered his magical power and flickered, teleporting through space, and ironclad wings spread wide from Lenok’s back.

Restricted area. The ironclad wings of Gilleon, obtained at the end of the encounter with the past Kaise Bajur.

The moment he swung the wingtips, which had the ability to interfere through spatial separation, to envelop himself.

A spiral of twisted firestorm ricocheted off the ironclad wings diagonally, completely tearing apart the wall of the workshop tower.

Eujijijijik!!

A concentrated barrage of fire that burned through space and crushed everything around it.

However, it was not the mage’s figure that was scattering sticky blood and bowing its head.

Lenok, dragging the corpse of a heavily armored cavalryman whose entire body was crushed from inside the wings, met the Legion Commander’s gaze.

“Kkeureureuk……!!”

Lenok, who threw down the power suit hanging like a shield on his ironclad wings and cut off its breath, gave a cold sneer.

“If you meet certain environmental conditions, you gain firepower that transcends your tier. Are all the Mechanized Corps Commanders like that?”

Back when he escaped the seabed barrier, the 4th Deep Sea Corps Commander Triton also wielded an output comparable to level 8 deep under the sea.

Similarly, the bombardment that the 3rd Ground Corps Commander Termore Shin fired at Lenok was beyond the level of increasing speed or power; it was approaching the level of shattering space.

“Matching the environment itself is surprisingly low in difficulty among the conditions needed for amplification. The fact that such conditions can be applied even above level 7…….”

Lenok’s eyes narrowed as he looked at the tank combined with the Legion Commander’s body.

“It’s probably right to think it’s due to the knowledge of the old world.”

“It’s the power I gained by crushing all the organs in my body and pushing in machines.”

Termore replied with a blank face, drawing up his magical power.

The situation where the leader commanding the legion himself fixed his body in the middle of the level and engaged in a desperate battle.

With that single action, the 3rd Legion, which was on the verge of collapse, regained its senses and began to align its formation.

The 3rd Ground Legion, gathering around Termore and transforming into a living formation and shield.

In the midst of the constantly writhing steel waves, he nodded lightly.

“Abandoning humanity while still being human. If that is only possible through the technology of the old world, it is worth enduring.”

“Abandoning humanity doesn’t necessarily mean that…….”

Lenok, brushing back his hair, laughed.

“Don’t you think you’re taking a difficult path?”

“There is no easy path for anyone. Especially not on this land. You should know that too, shouldn’t you?”

“…….”

While Lenok unconsciously closed his mouth at those words, Termore slowly rotated his magical power.

“Hermes told us how a level 7 Saint-tier ability user should break their limits.”

Blood vessels writhed grotesquely on the tank combined with his body, and the rising magical power rotated in reverse along the tank’s barrel, twisting beyond its limits.

Kkudeudeudeuk……!!

Blood and molten metal melted and flowed like a river, and the oil floating on it burned, turning the tower level into a sea of fire.

Amidst the melted tanks, anti-aircraft guns, and corpses, the figures of other superhumans who had come to surround Lenok.

However, unlike the legion’s forces, which had some order and system, they had various exoskeleton suits and tiers.

[Lieutenant Colonel Ryan Mason, commander of the armored infantry, has arrived.]

[The leader of the stealth mobile battalion, 2 Swords, has joined.]

[18 heavy cavalry units’ engine fusion complete. Ready to descend.]

Dududududu!!!!

Bizarre figures that had irregularly modified parts of their bodies, or had completely removed them and attached new parts.

Some creaked, some had all sorts of parts attached, and some calmly finished their communication reports, each taking to the front line in their own way.

The commanders of the 3rd Ground Mechanized Corps, who were part of the high command, had come out themselves to face Lenok.

“The price for what we’ve done can wait until after we’ve achieved our goal.”

The Legion Commander, putting forward the heads of each legion’s corps, looked at Lenok with a blank face.

“A mage blessed by the heavens like you will never understand.”

“Blessed…….”

Lenok, muttering after those words, chuckled.

“What’s above our heads isn’t the sky, but a dark sea. Do you believe that there is such a thing as a blessing from those things?”

“……I don’t know.”

Termore replied, drawing up his magical power.

“Because even that wasn’t my choice!!”

Jjeojeojeojeok!!!

Pillars of light struck down from all directions, and a microcosm rotated, interfering with the laws of physics.

Magical power, heat, and the direction of the mind were reversed and twisted in a way that was different from what Lenok perceived, trying to change the one-sided battlefield.

In the midst of that, the Legion Commander’s mind, constantly emitting light and gathering in one place.

It was firepower that could more than blow away an entire level of the workshop tower, not just Lenok alone.

It was not power that an ordinary human could gain by modifying their entire body with machines.

The result of giving up the possibility of a superhuman who had already completed their tier and was looking beyond it, and instead resorting to modification.

Kuo-ooo-ooo!!!

An illusion arose as if the entire space was converging into one point and being sucked into the Legion Commander’s tank muzzle.

Lenok looked at the scene and silently brought his hand to the end of his sleeve.

Click!!

Instead of a charged shotgun, what was pulled out was an old, dusty musket, the End of Teremer. [A powerful artifact]

The moment he infused it with magical power, the old world’s magic gun began to change its form.

Lenok, gripping the magic gun that had transformed into a long rifle with the head of a dragon, immediately responded to the Legion Commander’s mind and drew up his magical power.

[The Kenloe is using an artifact from the old world!!]

[The grenadier is at the forefront. Stop the magic aggregation!!]

At that unusual response, the 3rd Legion’s corps commanders began to overlap their paths and rush towards Lenok.

Fierce engine sounds echoed, fire poured down, and blades melted into the wind slipped through.

The grenadier, covered in flames, divided the battlefield into two, and beyond that, the corps commanders, wrapped in the power of the forces, clashed.

Kwaaaang!!!

Lenok also drew up his magical power on the spot, unleashing a storm of lightning and flames, and met the corps commanders’ offensive head-on.

[Blue Chain Lock]

[Shadow War]

The compressed mass of lightning, crushed and split, stretched out like a shadow, twisting and rotating in all directions.

[Lotus Flame]

[Innate Flame]

He forcefully resonated the constantly rising heat, forging it into flames that bit at life.

[Low-Mid Spiral: Purple Linked Arrival]

He gathered the shattered fragments of gravitational force and randomly reflected them, gathering the flow of the spiral amidst the irregularity and detonating it randomly.

Ku-gwa-gwa-gwa-gwa!!!!

High-level magic erupted incessantly from between the ironclad wings attached to the mage’s back, and disappeared as soon as it was manifested in reality through incantation.

The corps commanders, realizing how Lenok was countering their attacks, shouted over the communication network.

[You damn monster bastard……!!]

[How can this be a mage!!]

The bizarre act of using and discarding large-scale high-level magic that could vaporize an entire military unit for just one exchange.

He wielded the magical power at hand to overwhelm the moment, and then detonated it to dominate the battlefield.

All incantations and manifestations were done at the same time as the exchanges and crossed lines, and the entire process converged into a one-sided result, a miracle.

A bizarre act that would not even be allowed to be attempted without being superior in all the variables and psychological warfare of the battlefield that changed every second.

But rather, that was why he was completely overwhelmed in all the exchanges against the mage.

Why this mage, who had entered the battlefield with his bare body, was still alive and breathing, and why no one had won in the tightrope walk on the edge of the blade.

[Thunder White Pillar: Horned Flame]

Eudeudeudeuk!!

He tore off the grenadier’s armor with a fist made of chains and melted the heavy armor fusion with a pillar of thunder.

[Kkuaaaak!!!]

He broke the spine of the stealth mobile unit member who had melted into the air with a gravity hammer, and repeatedly struck the armored corps commander’s abdomen with lightning magic, causing his suit to explode.

Bbeo-eo-eong!!!

The magical power flashing inside the ironclad wings crossed and twisted dozens of times in a fleeting moment.

He perfectly controlled even the collision and backlash of that power, and was relentlessly torn apart by the mage’s divine power that crushed the battlefield.

[Legion Commander……!!! Aaaaargh!!]

[We can’t hold out much longer. Time……!!]

“Kenloe……!!!”

The Legion Commander’s bombardment, which had completed the mind construction while the corps commanders were buying time, soared, erasing the magical power of the entire level.

Kwaaaang!!!

Lenok, kicking off the corpses of the corps commanders who had been crushed and torn apart from all directions, immediately raised his magic gun.

“I’m going.”

The golden spiral that bloomed from Lenok’s fingertips began to wrap around the magic gun and bloom.

Kiiiiiing!!!!

At the same time as an ear-splitting ringing, the magic gun heated up like crazy, and gradually melted, unable to withstand its power.

But even so, the dragon’s head, which had not completely lost its form, opened its mouth wide and let out a powerful roar, its two eyes dyed golden.

Kuo-ooo!!

At the same time as pulling the trigger of the magic gun, a golden light soared from the tip of the dragon’s head.

The golden light, rotating in a double spiral, coiled in the air and bit its own tail.

At that moment, the Legion Commander’s bombardment, which had been fired with the momentum to vaporize the entire level, was dismantled and disappeared.

“Keu, heok……!!!”

The Legion Commander’s figure, trembling with wide eyes.

Other staff members who were watching the scene from the side quickly called out to him in a flustered manner.

“L, Legion Commander!!”

“This can’t be……!!”

[Group Thunder]

Kwaaaang!!!

A lightning spear that had been driven down from the far side of the sky pierced the Legion Commander’s heart diagonally.

It pierced through the tank combined with his body and exploded.

“Aaaaaaaargh!!!”

At the same time as the staff members’ screams were swept away by the explosion, the Legion Commander’s body was shattered on the spot.

Lenok, who had appeared in front of him in an instant, pushed a revolver into the Legion Commander’s mouth and pulled the trigger.

Taang!!

A hole was punched through the back of Termore’s head without even being able to struggle.

The moment the Legion Commander’s breath was cut off on the spot, the other forces of the legion connected to the communication network also fainted from the backlash.

Kwajik!

“Eugeugik……!!”

Lenok, who had descended behind the Legion Commander’s corpse, looked back at the staff members who were collapsing and convulsing.

A tattered figure, holding a scorched magic gun in one hand and a revolver in the other.

But that figure was that of a monster who had reached the end of defeating and smashing an entire legion single-handedly.

“How on earth……!!”

The high-tier superhumans who had been surrounding Lenok just a moment ago. And even the Legion Commander who had been bombarding him.

All of them had been completely neutralized and collapsed by a single magic bullet that Lenok had just fired.

A result that was so overwhelming that it was beyond monstrous, absurd.

While the staff members writhed in despair, unable to understand the cause and effect, Lenok, who had stored the magic gun, looked back at the staff members.

“Hic…….”

The great mage who had single-handedly annihilated the entire 3rd Ground Mechanized Corps.

For the staff members who had no combat ability, it wouldn’t be strange if they turned to dust with just one glance.

Lenok raised his hand towards the staff members who were holding their breath and closing their eyes tightly.

“D, die……!!”

Bbibibibib……!!

Lenok, who had hacked the staff members’ tickets and seized their authority, locked the passages and doors leading to the outside of the workshop tower.

Lenok quietly said to the staff members who were blinking their eyes.

“After everything is over, Nasisa Solmer will send someone.”

“What, what does that…….”

“Explain the situation to her. I’ll spare your lives on that condition.”

“…….”

Lenok did not wait for the staff members’ reply and immediately jumped over the river of blood.

Go-ooo-ooo……!!

He walked through the burnt ruins and melted levels. He headed to the top floor of the tower, walking through the debris of the pressed-down stairs.

Due to the aftermath of the series of battles, nearly half of the workshop tower had melted down, and the path to the top floor was half cut off and broken.

Lenok, who was staring blankly at the level, moved his steps towards the elevator located nearby.

The system was broken due to the aftermath of the battle, but Lenok fearlessly broke the door and got into the sunken elevator.

[Reverse Gravity]

Woo-oong!!

He cast reverse gravity magic and pulled the elevator up as it was.

Because it was much easier to control by casting it on the elevator than on his own clothes.

And he needed to take a moment to stabilize himself, even in this way.

Inside the slowly rising elevator, Lenok slightly lowered his head and threw up.

“Ugh……!!”

The method Lenok used to neutralize the Legion Commander and the high-tier superhumans at once was simple.

The magic system Uroboros. [A magic system that dismantles and uses other powers] A perpetual motion machine that forcibly dismantles all existing powers and formulas and uses them as its own power.

Lenok had shot the Uroboros magic system into the magic gun.

The old world’s magic gun, the End of Teremer. Its last and sixth form, the type conversion [Dragon’s Song].

Its ability was the power to shoot the user’s own mind into the magic gun, imitating the dragon’s breath.

The reason why Lenok had worked so hard to obtain this gun, and the identity of the magic gun itself.

‘In WORLD 2.0, it was the ability to randomly shoot the player’s characteristics or abilities…….’

It was literally a magic gun that extracted and shot the user’s mind as a bullet.

Lenok had known about this ability from the moment he saw the End of Teremer, but in fact, Lenok had refrained from using it even after acquiring the magic gun.

Not only had he never used it in actual combat, but he also did not know the extent of its backlash and price.

The magic system Uroboros is the power to forcibly dismantle all existing powers.

Its power becomes stronger the higher the tier of the superhuman, and the higher their understanding of their own mind.

It was certain that it was the ultimate technique that could neutralize the high-tier superhumans inside the Mechanized Corps, including the Legion Commander, but Lenok himself could not escape its aftermath.

“It doesn’t distinguish its owner after leaving the muzzle. It’s like a magic gunner’s equipment…… Cough!!”

If you load your mind into the magic gun and shoot it, you can efficiently miniaturize the output itself and hit the target from a distance.

Considering that the area or domain is originally manifested around the caster and consumes enormous magical power and mental power, it is an extremely powerful ability.

However, the mind extracted as a concept of a bullet was designed to return to the user as a backlash.

It was only because Lenok was the owner of Uroboros that it ended like this; if he had fully experienced the backlash, he wouldn’t have been able to stand properly.

Thud!!

Along with the elevator shaking greatly, Lenok’s body also heaved from the impact.

Lenok, who had been thrown helplessly against the wall, raised his gaze with blurry eyes, sensing a chilling presence from all directions.

[The mage’s location coordinates have been secured.]

[You will not be able to leave this city alive.]

[The side squad is opening the way.]

The shadow agents of the side squad. [A special ops team]

The elite intelligence unit escorting the Ex Machina had been one step late in tracking Lenok.

They were climbing up the workshop tower in reverse, quickly catching up with the speed of the elevator, and had begun to hunt down Lenok, sticking to the narrow passage.

Lenok, who quickly calculated the remaining distance to the top, chuckled and drew up his magical power.

“……Right. It wouldn’t be smooth……!!”

Kwaaaang!!!!

At the same time as the elevator exploded, Lenok’s figure, clad in Gilleon’s ironclad wings, soared high into the sky.

He soared with magical power and propellant attached to all sides, rising as if bouncing through the elevator passage.

Ujijijijik!!

As a result, he smashed the side squad agents as if crushing them, throwing them in all directions, and splattering blood on the walls as he flew upwards.

Swaeeeaeek!!!

[Disappear here, Kenloe……!]

[Die, die, die……!!]

The agents also had no remaining leeway, and could only desperately shout out their desires, putting them into their transmissions.

Blades and bullets crossed, magical power and thoughts exploded, filling the elevator passage and scattering blood.

He flew up, performing close-quarters combat in the narrow passage that was difficult to even be aware of.

Dudududududu!!!

Beyond the distant battle where the sense of distance had long since disappeared, he kicked off the wall with fragments of his wings and climbed up, bouncing to increase his altitude.

Kkiiiiii……!!

The ringing that deafened the ears and the roar of flesh being crushed mixed together, dyeing his consciousness crimson.

The mage’s figure, surrounded by ironclad wings, broke through the elevator passage and soared above the top floor of the workshop tower.

Kwaaaang!!!

Beyond the hot smell of metal and the scent of blood, the cold wind of the mechanical city filled his lungs.

Beyond the workshop tower collapsing due to the aftermath of the fierce battle, the scenery of the burning mechanical city came into view.

Maiya Renslit, who was still fighting the execution agency alone below.

The legions of the Mechanized Corps that were densely surrounding the lower part of the tower.

And inside the top floor of the tower, Hermes, who was connected to thousands of wires with his eyes closed.

“……Found you.”

Thump, thump, thump!!!

The pure white corridor located on the top floor of the workshop tower.
