Genius Wizard Takes Medicine [EN]: Chapter 682

“……The Underworld King’s disciple?”

Lenok’s hand, which had been synchronizing his thoughts with the surrounding black magic, stopped moving.

The Underworld King of Pandemonium.

A level 8 black magician who transcended hierarchies, a transcendent sorcerer who could even manipulate space-time.

A monster who roamed the continent, destroying cities and civilizations, reigning as an object of fear and terror.

But he was also the one who had sought out talented individuals and brought Lenok into Pandemonium.

Could the Underworld King, so cruel and cold to everything he wasn’t interested in, have taken on a new disciple so late in his existence?

Lenok, who had even released the magic he was holding, watched Baegon with an intrigued gaze.

“I see. So you’re the Underworld King’s disciple……”

The Underworld King had tried for a long time to bring Lenok into Pandemonium, but he never tried to make Lenok his disciple.

That was likely because he recognized that the magic and systems Lenok had already mastered were different from his own.

That’s why Lenok hadn’t bothered to learn black magic, instead focusing on asking the Underworld King about the secrets he knew.

Regardless, he knew how cold and picky the Underworld King’s standards for ‘talent’ were.

If the Underworld King had really chosen Baegon as his disciple, then how rare and unique would Baegon’s talent be?

“I was only planning to investigate the oldest lineage and leave, but it seems there’s something more interesting than I thought.”

Lenok’s eyes shone sharply as he openly observed Baegon from head to toe.

“Or are you related to that ‘oldest lineage’?”

He knew that someone called the oldest lineage was using the power of the Extinction Eye [a powerful artifact].

If the family that inherited that lineage had made the Extinction Eye their symbol, then there must be a secret beyond simple worship or faith.

Perhaps the reason Baegon was chosen as the Underworld King’s disciple was related to that.

But instead of answering Lenok’s question, Baegon stepped forward and urged Ermong.

“Finish the work, quickly!!”

“I really don’t know why I’m wasting my time……”

Ermong grumbled, but he continued to work in front of the huge tree.

Even if he complained, it was clear that there was something he had to finish here.

The moment Lenok tried to raise his magic again to check on that, Baegon twisted his body and stepped out to block his view, then pulled his finger like a trigger.

Click!!

With that gesture, the spells waiting to be chanted lined up in order. Dozens of black magic spells surrounding Lenok activated as if rotating.

Like a key and a lock fitting together, dozens of spells that had been chanted and preserved blocked the space where they could escape with perfect timing.

Black Law System Unique Magic

Multiple Manifestation of Shadow Bodies

[Magic Degree: Black Key]

Almost simultaneously, they exploded, aiming for Lenok’s vital points and breathing holes.

Kwakwakwakwang!!!

A spectacle as if dozens of huge black pillars were rising simultaneously from that spot.

Like completing a puzzle by fitting blocks together, the black pillars were assembled into a cube shape, trapping and isolating Lenok.

Kiiiiik……!!

Baegon, having confirmed Lenok’s presence inside the cube that had perfectly sealed the seams, clenched his right hand.

[Black Killing Sanctuary]

Kuwaaaaaa!!!

The cube was mercilessly crushed, squeezing its contents.

Such a terrible compression force that even a powerful physical ability user wouldn’t be able to leave behind even a drop of blood.

But no human blood dripped out from under the Black Killing Sanctuary.

Instead, the four sides of the black key pillars, which were thought to have been perfectly compressed, shook greatly, and blue lightning leaked out.

Crack!!

The moment he recognized it, a huge lightning hand that had popped out in front of him grabbed the door and twisted it open.

Two huge palms, as if protecting Lenok by overlapping, were unbelievably large for being compressed inside the Black Killing Sanctuary.

At the same time as the mage with a staff walked out from within, he deployed a quadruple chant of lightning magic.

[Thunder Radiance Arrival]

[Helmet Clap]

[Great Net of Electricity]

[Remaining Thunder Body]

Pajijijijik!!!!!

The giant’s two hands rotated as if disappearing from that spot and collided directly in front of Lenok’s eyes.

Creation System Unique Magic: Alchemy Application

Quadruple Synthesis Complex Resonance

[Super Fusion]

A huge shockwave of thunder burned and pushed away all the black magic that had been scattered around.

[Thunderclap]

Kwaaaaang!!!

“Uwaaaaak!!”

Even Ermong, who had been fiddling between the tree trunks, felt a sense of impending death from the tremendous concentration of magic.

But surprisingly, the power of the thunderclap that Lenok unleashed did not touch the fragments of the Extinction Eye, but only burned away Baegon’s spells and disappeared.

“C-Crazy……”

Ermong’s face turned purple as he understood the meaning.

Even though it was a powerful chant that could push away an entire space with high-level black magic, there wasn’t a single burn on the Extinction Eye’s branch.

The fact that he was controlling the speed and range of such a powerful multi-attribute shock magic at the particle level.

“If I want to leave a sample, there’s no need to damage it.”

Lenok nodded, looking at Baegon’s stiff face.

“I’ll play along as long as it doesn’t harm the tree. I’m curious what kind of talent you have that caught the Underworld King’s eye.”

“Don’t make me laugh……!!”

Baegon spat out a low curse and chanted magic again.

[Dark Prison Chain: Strange Shadow]

[Blackened Carriage]

Thick chains of shadows sprang up from under his feet, and using them as reins, black carriages rose from all directions.

Kugugugu!!

Black magic boiled between the carriages as they rolled, and they rotated around Lenok, leaving black traces on the ground.

Chiiiiik!!

He grabbed the black magic that instantly filled the surroundings and rushed towards Lenok.

“I can just smash that kind of ignorant magic before you even use it!!”

Baegon’s figure, hidden in the darkness, grabbed the chains of the carriages and moved at high speed.

He began to break through Lenok’s shield like crazy, smashing in the bombardment magic he had chanted and built up in an instant.

Dududududu!!!

[Black Destruction]

[Gouging]

The burning black thoughts gnawed at the shield and lightning magic at the same time, and the darkness that surged out as if vomiting rubbed against the space from all directions and rushed forward.

[Yin Extinction]

The magic particles that were cast under the shadows were concentrated and rotated, becoming a jet-black barrage that pierced through the underground space.

“Break!!”

Kwaaaang!!!

Every single magic he fired was an attack with both high-level power and speed.

In particular, the art of successfully chanting and adjusting the pace to detonate them all at once could only be described as an innate sense.

But Lenok’s expression was devoid of any emotion as he looked at the dark flames that were surging up to his neck.

Pajik……!!

The lightning that burst out from between his fingers instantly swelled in size.

Like paint spreading, the bright blue lightning rapidly dyed the space.

Bang!!

It disintegrated into hundreds of fragments of lightning and scattered from that spot.

[Scattered Lightning Spray]

Jeojeojeok!!!

A spectacle of space breaking like glass, and all the hundreds of cracks spreading were fragments of the rising lightning.

The moment he created the epicenter by flicking his finger, all the fragments of lightning pulsed as if they had their own will.

Eujijijik!!

They embraced and devoured the darkness that was rushing in from all directions. They raced faster than the black flashes that were pouring down.

The moment the streaks of thunder that had burst out beyond the speed of sound smashed all the dozens of black magic spells that Baegon was manipulating.

[Convergence]

The fragments of lightning that had been scattered in all directions gathered in front of Baegon’s eyes at a speed faster than they had dispersed and exploded.

Kwaaaang!!

“Kuaaaaak!!”

Baegon’s figure, which had been thrown back by the aftermath of the explosion, was caught and hung in the air by an invisible magic thread.

“Kahak!!”

“……I can’t understand it.”

Lenok muttered, lifting Baegon by the scruff of his neck with the magic thread.

He had piled up black magic like a mountain, and the overlapping spells he had chanted and detonated at an incredibly high speed that was difficult to perceive.

That speed and power. Even the courage and audacity to engage in a spell battle head-on were flawless.

But Lenok had devoured Baegon’s attacks head-on and absorbed them in reverse, then detonated them.

Magic manipulation that was faster, heavier, more precise, and sharper than all the spells Baegon had chanted.

No matter how technically excellent and complete it was, there was a line that Baegon could never surpass Lenok.

What Lenok had expected from the Underworld King’s disciple was not a magician who had been completed in such an obvious way.

“This is the Underworld King’s disciple?”

“……!!!”

Baegon’s face flushed crimson with rage.

Perhaps it was because he realized that the one word he had thrown out without any emotion perfectly revealed the current situation.

“How dare you, how dare you……!!!”

The humiliation of being crushed by the opponent he had mocked. The powerlessness and rage of not being able to resolve this situation on his own.

Emotions that had exceeded their limits turned into thoughts, and he spewed out magic that had escaped control like crazy.

“Kuaaa……aaa……”

The black magic that rose from inside Baegon’s wide-open throat scattered like smoke.

The huge tree that hung over the two of them tilted its branches in response to that magic.

Kiiik!!

The corpses of Glen, hanging between hundreds of branches, descended and surrounded Lenok and Baegon.

The corpses of Glen, who had been absorbed by the fragments of the Extinction Eye and died, began to form hand seals.

The moment he realized that those hand seals were taking over the chanting that Baegon should have been doing, Baegon, whose pupils had turned completely black, vomited a sticky darkness from his stomach.

“Aaaaaaaak!!!”

Self-Domain Deployment

Black Law Hierarchy Mental Image Manifestation

[Yin Sprinkled Thought Diagram]

Paahhh!!

A domain deployment that was unbelievable to have succeeded in chanting while being strangled.

The mass of darkness that Baegon had vomited devoured the surroundings and trapped Lenok’s figure in a darkness where he couldn’t see an inch ahead.

Inside the domain, where the five senses felt numb as if they were paralyzed.

“Kha, ahahaha!!”

Baegon burst into mad laughter as he continuously vomited black matter from his throat.

The Self-Domain Yin Sprinkled Thought Diagram was a power that Baegon couldn’t use because its efficiency was ridiculously low even after he had completed the technique.

But with the help of the Extinction Eye, which was drawn by Baegon’s emotions, he was able to fully deploy the power of the domain that could theoretically exist.

The ability of the Yin Sprinkled Thought Diagram was the power to forcibly convert all matter existing within the domain into black magic.

“Die……!!!”

Something seemed to wriggle above Lenok’s head, and then a pair of eyes that were shedding black tears opened.

[Dark Process Pupil: Obscure Eye]

The eyes that shed black tears decompose everything they reflect and convert it into black magic.

The corpses of Glen. The sand floor Lenok was standing on, the oil barrier, and the protective shield.

And even Lenok’s magic.

Jeojeojeojeok!!!

The magic of the mage standing with his staff was gradually changing into black magic.

Baegon’s face twisted strangely with vile joy as he realized that fact.

“It’s working, it’s working……!!!”

For a high-level magician, especially a sorcerer who uses a different system, it is fatal for their internal magic to be interfered with.

If the foundation of a tall tower is threatened, then the collapse is bound to be massive.

What if that was a being who was barely clinging to life with the help of a life support device?

Even the slightest tremor could be changed into a vibration that could shake their life.

He could kill that mage with his domain.

The moment Baegon sensed that and laughed while continuously vomiting masses of darkness.

Baegon’s limbs, which had been perfectly assimilated into the domain, stiffened and stopped.

“……Huh?”

At the same time, the darkness he had vomited began to be pulled somewhere before it even fell to the ground.

Kigigigi……!!

The black magic that filled the domain converged to a single point as if drawn by an invisible force.

The enormous black magic that had gathered in Lenok’s grasp was compressed into a single point and rotated fiercely.

Every time the mage slowly clenched and opened his fist with a blank face, the black magic that filled the domain disappeared as if it was being sucked in.

Ssaaaak……!!

And the moment all the black magic in the area was sucked in and disappeared as if it had been annihilated.

A tiny black droplet was floating in Lenok’s hand.

The Yin Sprinkled Thought Diagram’s domain, which had been dispelled as if by a lie, and Baegon’s figure, which had stiffened as if frozen, were visible through the gap.

Lenok shook his head as he looked at Baegon, who was staring blankly at the scene.

“It’s still not working well.”

“W-What……”

Lenok smiled as he looked at Baegon, who was squeezing out words while screaming.

“This was the only black magic I learned from the Underworld King by watching over his shoulder.”

Back when he had dealt with Eden, the leader of the Cigar Bang gang, and first encountered the Underworld King.

The black droplet that the Underworld King had used to block Lenok’s attack.

The black magic that glued and connected the space itself, blocking all attacks as if hardening it.

Lenok had allowed his magic to be converted into black magic, then gathered all the black magic inside the domain and implemented the only black magic that remained in his memory.

The only black magic that he could say he had actually learned directly from the Underworld King.

Ermong shook his head in disbelief as he sat down.

“That’s a devilish idea. Why don’t you just become the villain?”

“N-No way…… That can’t be……”

Baegon, who was bleeding profusely from the backlash of his magic being forcibly broken even while he was suffocating.

Lenok manipulated the magic thread that was strangling Baegon’s neck and slammed his body headfirst into the ground.

Ujijijik!!

“Cough!!”

Lenok, who had broken through a high-level black magic spell that was among the best in terms of single firepower, looked up.

Ermong glanced around and crawled into a corner where his gaze wouldn’t reach.

“Kk, euuuk……”

Lenok, who had slammed Baegon, who was convulsing with his eyes rolled back, under his feet, raised his gaze.

“Explain. Why is the Underworld King’s disciple here?”

Personally, he had received a lot from the Underworld King, so he couldn’t kill Baegon right away.

If Baegon was really the Underworld King’s disciple, as he had said, he was willing to let it go by making sure he could never stand up again.

“So, that’s the thing……”

The moment Ermong sighed and tried to explain something.

The black tree that hung over the three of them began to tremble.

Jjwaaaaaak!!

At the same time, it absorbed the earth’s power and life force like crazy from both the roots and branches, and it sucked up the oil and Glen’s corpses with a grotesque appearance.

The moment the energy became so concentrated that it seemed like it would explode.

The tree trunk that Ermong had been facing just a moment ago cracked open, and something revealed itself from within.

Kiiik!!

Inside the tree, there was a dark black coffin that did not allow even a single point of light.

Seams that were so smooth and precise that it was hard to believe they were made without human hands.

A strange aura that seemed to suck in not only the surrounding magic but also the consciousness of the person looking at it.

It was as if someone would open that coffin and walk out at any moment.

Ermong shrugged his shoulders.

“It was to make that.”

“……”

The moment Lenok tried to take a step towards the coffin.

“Cough, cough!!”

Baegon, who was covered in blood, stood in front of the coffin before Lenok.

Ermong sighed softly and rubbed his forehead.

“……Oh, dear.”

“It’s all over. The plan ends here.”

Baegon said, glaring at Ermong and Lenok at the same time.

“I’ll tell my master everything that happened here, and I’ll kill you.”

“That coffin seems to be related to the Underworld King.”

“……”

“Was the reason you brought the Underworld King’s disciple here because you needed him to make the coffin?”

At Lenok’s words, Ermong’s expression changed to one of chewing something.

“Yeah, just say it all, you son of a bitch!!”

“You’re the same, old man.”

Baegon sneered at Ermong.

“You’re clinging to my master’s grace to keep your life, yet you dare to betray me!!”

Ermong sighed and rubbed his forehead.

“We’ve never trusted each other, so how can we betray each other?”

“Shut up!!”

Baegon grabbed the door of the coffin with both hands and raised his magic power.

Ujijik!!

With that pressure, black pus dripped from between his fingernails, and the blood vessels on the back of his hands burst.

But Baegon laughed like crazy and pulled the coffin door open with all his might.

“It’s all over. The Underworld King will descend to this place!!”

[Hey, didn’t you say your name was Ban?]

Ermong quietly sent a telepathic message to Lenok in the same sighing posture.

[Can we forget about the fight just now and cooperate?]

“……”

[That crazy bastard is planning to summon that black magician here. If we go on like this, we’ll all die.]

When Lenok didn’t answer, Ermong whispered again in a desperate tone.

[It’s okay to just break it. If he finds out that things went differently than planned, I don’t have the confidence to handle his annoyance……]

“Okay. Go ahead and open it.”

“Eek?!”

Lenok nodded, ignoring Ermong, who was horrified and had forgotten about the telepathic message.

“If it’s the Underworld King I know, he wouldn’t be the type to not give an explanation even after the situation has turned out like this.”

That coffin was ominous, but it wasn’t something he couldn’t break if he wanted to.

If Baegon could use the power of that coffin to summon the Underworld King, Lenok was willing to watch for a while.

Baegon, hearing Lenok’s leisurely answer, gritted his teeth and raised his magic power.

“……Don’t make me laugh. Do you think you can stay so relaxed until the end……!!!”

“……”

“I’m the master’s disciple, not you!! I’m the Underworld King’s successor!!! I’m……!!!!”

Kiiiiik……!!

With his fingers crushed and flesh dripping, he desperately pulled the coffin open with all his might.

“Uaaaaaaaak!!!”

The shockwave that burst out from inside the coffin sent Baegon’s body flying at sub-sonic speed as he shed tears of blood.

Ujijijik!!

Ignoring Baegon, who was lying on the floor in a miserable state with his arms and legs broken, Lenok silently stared into the open coffin.

The black coffin that had been completed by sucking up the energy of the Extinction Eye Acrotreenier and the life force of hundreds of Glens.

What kind of power was contained within it?

“……”

Only a deep darkness that seemed to have no end was there.

Dark thoughts that seemed to melt and flow down.

A mass of darkness that sank endlessly and dug into the depths of the unconscious.

“Master!!!”

Baegon cried out desperately.

“Master!! Please help me!!!”

[……]

At that moment, he felt as if something in the darkness had turned its gaze.
