Genius Wizard Takes Medicine [EN]: Chapter 715

The Empty House (9)

PMC Dead Rise. A private military company primarily composed of superhuman individuals who had been with Kaise.

The superhumans in leadership positions were renowned powerhouses even in the past, but there’s little information about the actual leader who commands them.

What could be gleaned from the deep web was that he was a skilled individual who had managed the organization without internal conflict, despite having many powerful subordinates.

But I never imagined I would hear about him from Feisha’s mouth.

“Kaise’s son……”

“You must have heard that name at least once, right?”

Ethan Bajur.

The only blood relative of Kaise Bajur, a man who didn’t live long because he inherited his talent in an ambiguous way.

And Jenny’s father.

“……”

While investigating the project’s secrets, he was mentioned a few times in passing, but I don’t remember paying much attention to him.

The fact that Kaise’s son, who was presumed dead, is the head of a private military company.

Just knowing that fact, various possibilities flash through my mind instantly.

“They must have been intentionally controlling information about the leader. Why are you revealing it to me now?”

“Because there’s a possibility that you represent his will.”

Feisha responded sharply to Lenox’s words.

“It is the legion’s rule not to overlook even the slightest possibility when it comes to his affairs.”

“……”

“If you truly represent his will-”

As if noticing Lenox’s hesitation, Feisha spoke.

“I will take you to the main headquarters of the central front.”

The Dead Rise headquarters, which moved its main force to the central front.

There, there would be many of Kaise’s former confidants, including Gilleon.

Feisha was saying that she could send Lenox to the main base of that military company right now.

“The equipment you possess is not something you could have obtained by chance. But it is also true that there is an inexplicable disconnect in your words and actions.”

Feisha’s eyes gleamed coldly.

“Regardless of the fact that you are a dangerous mage, I believe an investigation into that cause is necessary.”

“……”

“If you want, I can stop the operation right now and report it. So, I’ll ask you just once.”

Feisha asked.

“Will you come with me?”

Even while being aware of Lenox’s skills and nature, Feisha first lowered her weapon and made an offer.

Even if it meant accepting the losses and casualties that would occur in the future, she thought an investigation was necessary when it came to Kaise.

For that, even if it meant stopping the operation, she was saying she would treat Lenox well and arrange a meeting with the headquarters.

However, Lenox knew that regardless of that fact, he could not accept Feisha’s offer.

“……No. I have no intention of doing that.”

Lenox, who had been silent, slowly shook his head.

“What I know is different from what you remember. At least, it was definitely not in its current form.”

“……”

In the end, what Lenox had heard was just the memories and will that Kaise had left behind decades ago.

Unless he knew how Kaise had changed right before his death, this offer was likely to be a loss.

Even as they were talking, the shaking of the launchpad was only getting stronger, and the remaining time was disappearing.

Kaise’s son. The head of Dead Rise. And how the leadership thought of Kaise.

Just being aware of that fact was an unexpected gain, and he had no choice but to settle things.

“No matter what offer you make, my decision will not change. If there is anything I need to know, even now-”

Kaga-gak!!

With a large flap of his wings, Lenox’s figure was instantly swept up, riding the roller coaster rails.

Hanging from one wing on the rails that were scattered haphazardly over the lake, Lenox looked back at Feisha and smiled.

“As always, I’ll check it out myself.”

“……Yeah. I thought you might say something like that. I knew it from the start.”

Feisha’s eyes, looking at Lenox, were dyed pitch black.

She, too, from the moment she revealed this fact, had no intention of letting Lenox live.

“Then, I have no choice but to kill you and drag your corpse back……!!”

At the same time as Feisha unleashed a ghostly scream, she flew after Lenox, wrapped in a fierce air current.

Riding the abnormally bent rails, Lenox and Feisha flew up in their own ways and clashed.

[Daera Jeon (Great Lightning Strike)]

[Yeolroe (Rending Thunder)]

[Guiguk: Bihyeong (Demon Cry: Flying Form)]

Dudududu!!!

Falling thunderbolts and rising spear blades danced, ignoring each other.

The thrill of magical power that exchanged over dozens of times in an instant. The physical force caused by the will created rifts that bent space.

Ddeudeuk!!

The atmosphere screamed, the surface of the water boiled, and a hellish scene unfolded beyond the ruins.

The water that had been boiling over the lake rose as steam, and conversely, the roller coaster rails melted, raining down molten metal.

The shadows of the two people flickered incessantly as they flew along the broken and melting rails.

Jjeojeojeong!!!

“A pure spell-type mage engaging in mobile combat against me…… Are you out of your mind?!!”

Feisha’s figure, laughing wildly as she ran along the rails with her bare body.

With a transcendent sense of balance that is not allowed for a human body, she gathers the wind she has drawn in and slashes down.

Following her gesture, the will wrapped around the long spear shaft explodes with the light of a spirit.

Kuwaaaaaa!!!

A water pillar tens of meters high shot up as it was slammed down onto the lake.

The water that splashed onto the rails boiled and instantly evaporated.

Chiiik!!

Grabbing and climbing the heated and melting rails with her bare hands, she hammered in dozens of spear strikes in the blink of an eye.

The light of the spear blades blended together, overlapping in one place, creating a bizarrely shimmering illusion.

Just by repeating the action of grabbing and stabbing at high speed, the surrounding field of view was cut away, distorting the vision.

However, Lenox was able to receive all of that onslaught while spreading his armored wings and fleeing.

[Binggyeol Joyeong (Ice Formation)]

[Yakroe Biae (Faint Thunder Veil)]

Jjeojeojeok!!

He deflected the sharp air currents with his armored wings and scattered ice magic onto the severed rails.

He froze the water and steam of the lake, creating new rails on the spot and climbing onto them.

At the same time, he used consecutive electric magic to barely parry Feisha’s spear strikes that were following from behind.

Kkigigigik……!!!

Using the shockwaves he had unleashed in succession as a recoil, he rotated his armored wings.

He grabbed his whole body with magical threads and forcibly balanced himself in the air, landing on the ice rail.

Cheolkeok!!

[Frost Wave]

[Dallyeop Seolchwi (Gliding Snow Sled)]

Spreading his armored wings like a sled under his feet, Lenox’s figure accelerated instantly as he slid along the frozen rail.

Sswaaaaaek!!

The armored wings, which had gained speed, surpassed the speed of sound in an instant, cutting off all the rails that Feisha, who was following, would climb on.

Feisha, who had become desperate, tried to cut off the path by firing a slash, but the speed at which the ice rails were newly created was much faster.

The armored wings, which had become so blurry that they could not be seen, accelerated along the rails that were bent high over the lake.

Pa-a-a-ang!!

In an instant, he escaped the lakeside and flew up.

The shape of the armored wings flying towards the giant Ferris wheel located in the center of the ruined theme park.

Along with the launchpad, the Ferris wheel boasted the highest altitude here.

“It’s not over yet!!!!”

Kuung!!

However, Feisha also began to chase Lenox, climbing over the collapsed commercial buildings at an incredible speed.

The shape of the spirit that had risen behind her was that of a hideous gorilla with its eyes gouged out.

As if moving through a dense forest, she accelerated through the commercial buildings and attraction debris, catching up to Lenox’s flight speed.

Dada-da-dak!!

Feisha’s figure, running at such an incredible speed that her arms and legs could not be seen, disappeared, leaving behind a circular shockwave.

Pa-a-ang!!

Behind her, who had accelerated by borrowing the form of a gorilla, the form of a huge rhinoceros appeared in the blink of an eye.

“Die, Gyeonroe!!”

The form of a rhinoceros with horns twisted grotesquely like the horns of a demon.

It was probably an extreme power that had raised the charging force itself to match the 8th level of hierarchy.

If that attack were allowed to hit head-on, it would not be strange for Lenox’s entire body to be crushed along with the space.

Kwang!!!

The armored wing joints shook greatly, and Lenox’s arm was revealed through the gap.

In the fleeting moment when each other’s perception transcended time, Feisha grabbed Lenox’s arm with an animalistic sixth sense.

The power of the Phoenix War that was located on the mage’s left arm. The moment she tried to snatch the power by tearing off the tied bandages.

“It’s not……?!”

Feisha’s eyes widened at the empty sensation felt through the scattering bandages.

From the beginning, Lenox did not possess the Phoenix War.

Before Feisha, who had realized that fact, could react, a golden ripple exploded between the two of them.

[Palgyeong (Eight Mirrors)]

Kwaaaaaang!!!

Feisha’s figure was slammed vertically into the ground on the spot without even having time to be conscious.

“Kahak……!!!”

Feisha, unable to overcome the pain, groaned and spat out blood.

The amount of impact was unbelievable, as if she had been hit by her own charge while floating in the air.

It was an enormous rebound force, as if she had returned Feisha’s power as it was.

Feisha, who was buried under the ruined merry-go-round facility, and Lenox’s figure, slowly floating and falling from the air.

“It seems that practicing with Merilda was worth it.”

Lenox smiled as he looked down at Feisha.

“The charging technique that Beck Clinton used. I thought you would have a similar form.”

“What……?”

The Uroboros’s image that is manifested through the martial arts of Gujungdorae [a martial art style].

The rebound technique, Palgyeong, created through it, allows Lenox to temporarily change the flow of power he has experienced once.

The charging technique that Beck Clinton used, borrowing the spirit of a bison.

Lenox had guessed that Feisha was also using that technique in a more enhanced form.

He forcibly created a situation where that technique could be used, and even used that power in reverse to slam Feisha to the ground at once.

There is a side effect that the convulsions, as if the soul is shaking, do not subside after using it once, but it was necessary to subdue Feisha here, even if it meant overdoing it.

For the one moment when he could hit the magic he had obtained through the deal with Oliviera.

Lenox’s figure, gathering his faintly trembling hands and beginning to form hand seals.

At the same time, a massive amount of light burst out from the ground, instantly drawing a huge magic circle around Feisha.

“……!!!”

Pa-a-a-at!!!

A barrier of light revolved around Feisha, drawing a huge sphere, and then began to grab and crush her body without leaving anything behind.

Only then did Feisha realize that Lenox was not trying to kill her, and her face twisted like a demon.

“You son of a bitch……!!! How dare you try to capture me here!!!”

Lenox fell from the air and extended his other hand towards Feisha.

A gentle motion as if offering her a hand.

But with that hand seal, the light surrounding Feisha rapidly contracted and began to bind her body.

“Feisha Grisburn. Your soul-”

Pa-a-a-at!!!

Feisha’s body began to be sealed within the intense light barrier.

The moment the light, which had grabbed her limbs in an instant and reached up to her neck, wrapped around her hideously distorted face.

Lenox finished chanting and clasped his hands together.

“I will confine you to the upper heavens of the mortal realm.”

Light-type Unique Magic

Daeyeo Gwangbu Taesang Bongin (Great Light Seal of the Upper Realm)

[Jeonryun Chukseong (Wheel of Holy Construction)]

Pa-a-a-a-at!!

A dazzling light covered and bound even the hatred of the demon, and the Taesang Seal was completed.

“Aaaaaaaak!!!”

Feisha screamed like crazy, struggling to get up, scattering blood all over her body.

A demonic figure, reaching out towards Lenox with her blood-red hands, her veins broken, and screaming.

She broke her limbs and even threw away her magical power, shouldering the Taesang Seal and getting up.

The moment Feisha, who was chained and rushing like a seizure, and Lenox’s figure, who had completed the chant without wavering in front of her, overlapped.

Kwaaaaa!!!

A dazzling pillar of light soared into the sky.

* * *

“Haa, haa!!”

She runs desperately, gasping for breath.

As soon as she saw the faint strands of electricity flashing before her eyes, Tatiana gritted her teeth and turned her head.

“It’s coming……!!”

Pa-a-a-at!!

A tremendous amount of light bursts out from the other side of the dawn sky. If she turned her gaze, she would lose her sight immediately.

The tremendous pressure that made her whole body feel crushed just by the vibration of magical power.

Is that the battle of monsters who have transcended the hierarchy and reached the 8th level?

The shock was so intense that if she lost focus even for a moment, her consciousness would disappear, swept away by the rampage of magical power and will.

“Huk, huk……!!”

Even with the stamina she had trained on the battlefield, it was difficult to cross the vast grounds of the theme park at full speed.

However, Tatiana desperately ran and somehow arrived at the launchpad during this brief time that Lenox was buying.

Kugugugu!!

A hot gust of wind blows under the steel structure that soars high into the sky.

The control panel with complex symbols and codes, and the artificial satellite assembled in front of it.

The back is still wide open without being assembled, and the engine, dripping with crimson light, is trembling.

The launchpad located in the center of the ruined theme park. The satellite mounted below and the engine inside.

Even though the satellite has not yet been assembled, the launch time counter displayed on the control panel continues to run.

Tatiana, who had a pale complexion, bit her lip as she tapped the control panel.

“No, it won’t stop……!!”

It wasn’t that Tatiana had run here without any countermeasures.

She, who had maintained the position of a rosary [a high-ranking mage] for a long time, knew several magic codes that could forcibly intervene in the unique magic system of the magic tower.

If the engine was made by borrowing the magic system of the magic tower, it should be able to have some influence.

Nevertheless, all the commands and magic codes that Tatiana tried did not work at all.

The code entered into the launchpad itself was the final command that could no longer be changed.

It was probably because the sequence itself was fixed and had reached an irreversible level.

Kukwakwakwakwa!!!!

The only remaining option was to destroy the satellite itself and cancel the launch.

However, Tatiana was still hesitant to destroy the engine directly.

The materials used for the engine were the fellow mages who had fought with Tatiana on the central front.

Unlike Tatiana, they were people who had devoted themselves to the well-being and peace of the tower until the moment they died.

As long as the dead souls are burned to extract power, destroying the engine alone will not save them.

Even if the engine stops working, their souls that have been offered will continue to suffer in the cycle of human sacrifice.

That is why Lenox gave Tatiana the Phoenix War and helped her save her comrades herself.

But she could no longer even properly operate the Phoenix War with her own power alone.

Chwaak!

She grabbed the transparently shining crystal of the Phoenix War and slammed it down on her forearm.

Even if she brought the relic to the wound where blood was flowing and tried to melt it into her blood vessels, it did not react.

“Please……!!”

Even though she was prepared to end this situation at the risk of her life, she no longer had the qualifications.

The moment Tatiana desperately tried to activate the Phoenix War.

Kwaaaaaang!!!

The ceiling of the launchpad control room opened like a lid, and a hot gust of wind blew in.

The figure of someone staggering out from the other side.

Tatiana’s face, which had raised her head with a look of joy, was immediately distorted by tremendous pain.

Udeudeuk!!

“……!!!”

“I knew you had it. Right?”

The eerie figure of a ghost covered in blood all over her body.

The half-opened, overturned eyes and the blood-soaked figure mixed together, emitting a chilling murderous intent.

“Really, they’re all just cunning bastards. You stole the relic and handed it over in that short time……”

“Kulkeok……!!”

“While I was foolishly trying to take it from Gyeonroe, you were trying to stop the engine using the relic.”

Feisha, who had grabbed Tatiana’s neck with one hand and lifted her up, immediately snatched the Phoenix War.

Ddeudeuk!!

Feisha, who had inserted the crystal of the Phoenix War into the engine’s power unit, dragged Tatiana and walked under the launchpad.

“It’s still enough. If I grab the Witch of the Firestorm and put her in as engine material and launch it, there won’t be a shortage of power during the launch.”

“Ha, half……”

“Do you not know?”

Feisha smiled brightly with her blood-soaked face.

“It’s obvious if you see me here.”

“……”

Lenox failed to stop Feisha.

While Tatiana was silent, unable to believe that fact, Feisha threw her body under the launchpad as it was.

Kung!!

“Keuk……!!”

“Is there about a minute left……? There’s no time to process it.”

Feisha smiled wearily with a tired face.

“Just die while being combined and ground up with the engine.”

Kugugugugu!!!

The vibration that burst out from under the launchpad shook the heavens and the earth, adding heat and flames.

The back of the satellite, which contained the Phoenix War in the engine’s power unit, closed, and Feisha slowly stepped back and leaned against it.

“Kulkeok, kulkeok!! Haa…….”

Her limbs were mushy, and all the bones in her body were broken and crushed.

The blood flowing out as her muscles and blood vessels were crushed was not evidence of pain, but her life.

Feisha raised her head, feeling the eerie sensation of her life pouring out of her body with her whole body.

Kuhwaaaaaak!!

The count displayed on the control panel ended, and the launchpad control room shook greatly, and flames rose.

The boosters mounted under the satellite were activated, pushing the body into the atmosphere.

The body of Tatiana, who had fallen below, would also have turned to ashes in an instant due to the temperature exceeding the limit.

While Feisha was thinking that and waiting for everything to end.

She realized that the flames and vibrations of the launchpad had subsided somewhere.

“……What?”

The satellite, which should have soared into the atmosphere right away, and the launchpad, which had been shaking as if it would explode.

In the silence where even the boosters that had been spewing flames without hesitation had become quiet.

In front of the fallen Tatiana, someone was kneeling and looking down at her.

“Gyeon……!!”

Feisha, who had risen like a seizure, stopped moving for a moment when she saw that figure.

It was not a mage.

A human figure that seemed to be made of flames. A woman of similar age to Tatiana.

It did not end with just her, and several illusions that seemed to be flickering with flames surrounded Tatiana.

Those figures that had flowed out from under the engine power unit were stopping the satellite from being launched.

“A wraith is interfering……!!!”

The moment Feisha screamed and tried to stretch out her crushed arm.

An intangible barrier suddenly slammed down, blocking Feisha’s magical power.

Kwaaaaaang!!!

“……I didn’t expect you to break the seal in that way. Is it possible because it’s an image that deals with spirits?”

The mage’s figure, who was not as injured or blood-soaked as she was, but looked much more disheveled and exhausted than before.

Feisha gritted her teeth as she looked at Lenox, who was facing her.

“Gyeonroe!!!!!”

“But I can’t let you interfere now.”

Lenox smiled.

“If you cherish Kaise’s will so much, isn’t it polite to listen to other people’s last words as well?”

“Get out of my way right now. Before I kill you!!!”

“That’s enough, just watch from there.”

Lenox ignored Feisha’s cry and lowered his gaze towards Tatiana and the woman.

“Because it’s all over now.”

Self-Magnetic Field Partial Deployment

Image Imprint Contradiction Projection

[Jeokpyeon Hwijo Rong (Red Woven Birdcage)]

From all directions, huge pillars of fire soared up, wrapping around the surroundings and turning into a cage of flames.

Kuhwaaak!!

A cage of flames that accurately confines and isolates Tatiana and Feisha.

However, what that area confined was not Feisha, but Tatiana and the woman made of flames.

Hwareureureuk!!

The self-magnetic field Jeokpyeon Hwijo Rong of the flame mage Zionis, who had joined hands with the Bokmajeon [a group of mages] and raised his own hierarchy.

A cage of flames that sublimated the resentment of having his own fate bound to the tower lord into an image.

Lenox used the authority of the Phoenix War to temporarily overlay the image of the area here.

Of course, since the Jeokpyeon Hwijo Rong that Lenox uses is not real, it cannot cover the space or burn Feisha.

However, in a space constructed with the concept of a cage, it should be possible to leave behind the flames that should have scattered for a while.

[……Tatiana.]

The faint figure of a woman standing in front of Tatiana.

She looked at her own form, which was flickering like flames, and slowly reached out her hand to Tatiana.
