Genius Wizard Takes Medicine [EN]: Chapter 785

The sanctuary unique to Yorta, which observes the flow of all curses on the continent.

Is the secluded place located on the top floor of the Spirit Tower called the Immeasurable (無間) [a concept of infinite space or dimension]?

However, more than the name, Lenok began to ponder the proposal the priestess had mentioned.

“You’re saying you’ll use the function of revelation to look into the upper part of the Spirit Tower?”

[If we gather the remaining spiritual energy, it seems we can use it once on the entire Spirit Tower.]

The priestess replied.

[However, it is impossible with my power alone, so I think I will need the help of you, who has a physical body.]

“……”

Lenok was momentarily lost in thought at the unexpected proposal.

To be honest, he didn’t think the priestess would be of any help right away, but has her condition improved since entering Yorta?

Perhaps it’s because the environment inside Yorta is stably structured to allow spiritual entities like the priestess to thrive.

There might be various formulas or measures in place throughout the city for the independence or symbiosis of souls.

But what was important right now was not how it became possible.

‘The function of revelation….’

Lenok had some understanding of the power of revelation from his time at the Far East Branch of the Order.

A type of cognition that borrows the power of the Outer Sea, as shown by the previous priestess, Izel Naidri, and the 10th Apostle, Amrita.

It might sound similar to precognition, but Lenok, who had faced and killed both precognitives and those with revelation abilities, had an idea.

‘If precognition is a subjective but limited power, then revelation is a passive but limitless power.’

It’s the difference between finding out and being told.

Unlike precognition, the power of revelation cannot be controlled subjectively, but there are no limits to its target or timing.

However, the priestess was saying that she could directly manipulate the revelation and use it to look into the upper part of the Spirit Tower.

Perhaps it’s because the priestess’s title itself is based on the transcendent faith of the Outer Sea.

Therefore, before answering, Lenok glanced around the prison where he was trapped.

Clang!!

Beyond the bars, other cells, coldly frozen, were visible.

Amidst the icy mist spreading out in clumps of frost, the figures of other prisoners stared at Lenok with sharp eyes.

Since he was imprisoned here, inheriting Onion’s sentence, perhaps the other prisoners were also criminals who had committed similar serious crimes.

Lenok, having quickly reached a conclusion, asked, pulling his hood down.

“It’s worth a try. What do you need me to do?”

[The most efficient way is for you to lend me your body for a moment-]

“Don’t talk nonsense.”

[…….]

The priestess, who had been silent, spoke.

[There is a way for me to receive a revelation and visualize the inflammation in your eyes. It would be possible if you have even a little bit of the relevant aptitude.]

“That’ll do. Let’s start right away.”

At Lenok’s assertion, the priestess shook her head and muttered.

[It’s not as simple as it sounds… I understand. For a non-believer, experiencing things firsthand is the fastest way.]

At the same time, the presence of the priestess that had appeared before Lenok’s eyes began to swell rapidly.

Ooooo…!!

As the priestess’s will intensified, the gem on the ring emitted a strong light.

As the form of a soul that had lost its physical body, can it draw out such a will while being bound to a mere object?

Just as Lenok was inwardly admiring the intensity of her strong fanaticism and will, the priestess put her hands together and tilted her head towards the sky.

Immediately, an illusion arose in the ceiling of this frozen prison on the 5th basement level of the Spirit Tower, as if an intangible light was descending.

Faaaahhh!!!

A powerful revelation that transcends the limits of time and space.

The cognition transmitted from the other side of the Outer Sea pierced through all the barriers between Lenok and the priestess and struck down upon the priestess’s spirit.

The moment she received the intangible light, the priestess’s spirit flickered as if it was about to materialize on the spot.

[You. Now is the time.]

She reached out a hand towards Lenok with a slightly urgent tone.

[As I have said repeatedly, the issue of aptitude is very significant. In the worst case, if there is a backlash, there is a possibility that your eyesight may deteriorate-]

“You should have mentioned that first, shouldn’t you?”

Lenok scoffed at the priestess’s words with an absurd look.

“To mention the reward before the cost, what a truly cult-like alternative.”

Thump!

Despite his cynicism at the priestess’s words, Lenok fearlessly grasped the will she offered.

At the same time, his magic eye activated beyond the obsidian mask and began to accept the priestess’s revelation as it was.

Kiiiiiing…!!!

Lenok was instantly accepting and visualizing the inflammation of the Order’s function, which was mediated by the Outer Sea.

At his unhesitating reaction, the priestess, who had delivered the revelation, was rather surprised and turned her gaze.

[This can’t be, this is… It’s beyond the level that can be explained by saying you have aptitude.]

The priestess asked, looking at Lenok, who was manipulating the will without hesitation, with only his right eye open.

[It is too perfect a match to achieve with the body of a non-believer. Have you ever experienced the function of revelation before?]

“Stop with the useless talk and let’s start quickly.”

The reason why Lenok immediately accepted the proposal, despite the priestess’s words that aptitude was needed.

It was because he had already had the experience of imitating and using the function of revelation during the battle with Amrita at the Far East Branch.

Lenok’s right magic eye was a congenital ability modeled after the magic eye of the Seven-Colored Treasure that Oliviera possessed.

Using the principle of reflecting and using various functions, he had once deciphered Amrita’s revelation by imitating the flow of revelation.

The revelation ability itself is too complex and has no rules, so it is difficult to handle unless it is a battle situation, so he rarely uses it, but he remembers the knack itself.

It was not difficult to share and visualize the image of the revelation that the priestess was conveying.

Lenok suppressed his right magic eye, which was burning as if it was on fire, and replied.

“It will be difficult to last long, so let’s expand from the prison area right away. Are you ready?”

[……I understand.]

The priestess seemed to have something more to say, but she immediately closed her eyes and concentrated.

At that moment, the view reflected on Lenok’s magic eye was rapidly distorted and soared above his head.

Charrrr…!!

A strange noise, as if a clockwork was rewinding.

At the same time as the sense of sight itself was shaken, Lenok’s eyes deviated from the viewpoint and looked down at himself.

The gaze that had soared above the frozen prison instantly surveyed the entire prison facility called the Frost Lord’s Tomb.

He began to take in the internal facilities and structure of the prison.

‘It’s similar to when I used the lighthouse, but a little different.’

It is different from the lighthouse, which thoroughly assisted human vision and observed the entire space.

The image he was now looking at by sharing the function of revelation was closer to a sense of incongruity, as if peeking at the other side through a narrow doorway.

A strange sensation as if he was looking down from the other side, using a trick called function to do a peeking that was not originally allowed.

It was not observing the entire space, but rather like checking a screen taken by a camera in a fragmentary way.

It was not looking down at the entire facility and design of the prison from an omniscient point of view, but rather a feeling of only showing the main facilities inside the prison as a cross-sectional image.

‘…….’

Ironically, Lenok thought he had felt that sensation somewhere before.

Even while he was lost in thought, the inflammation of the revelation that the priestess was showing continued at a rapid pace.

Whioooo…!!

A chilling cold wind that blew endlessly.

A cold that freezes the temperature of the prison to the extreme starts from a specific point and penetrates the entire facility.

‘There’s a hole. The cold air is leaking from there.’

The 5th basement level of the Spirit Tower, called the Frost Lord’s Tomb.

Through a crack somewhere in this huge prison, an endless chilling wind is flowing out.

It is freezing the entire 5th basement level, restricting the actions of the prisoners, and making this space itself a prison that inflicts endless pain.

However, Lenok realized that, conversely, that crack was the only passage to escape from this prison.

[I will move on to the upper part of the tower right away.]

At the same time, the scenery reflected in Lenok’s magic eye rapidly soared upwards.

Swaeeeeeek!!

A sensation as if he was instantly leaving the basement level where the prison was located and winding up the walls of the tower upside down.

The walls of the tower that swept past beneath his feet were covered with pale spirits, as if they were endlessly wriggling.

=Kkyaaaaak!!!

It was then that Lenok realized that the walls of the tower were not made of bedrock, but of thousands of writhing vengeful spirits themselves.

“……”

The Spirit Tower of the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons, created to comfort the dead spirits. The Yorta leadership’s Soul-Calming Pavilion is located at the very top.

But the parts that make up the tower are made up of vengeful spirits screaming in endless pain.

The entire tower was engulfed in a wave of vengeful spirits, creating a form like a curse that was forever struggling.

Thud thud thud!!

The levels of the Spirit Tower, which stretched out beyond the upper part of the city and into the sky, as far as the eye could see.

At some point, the shape of the tower suddenly stopped, and a pitch-black darkness began to flow out from both sides.

A strange sense of incongruity, as if one level of the Spirit Tower had completely disappeared, losing its place.

The moment he faced that scene, Lenok was convinced that this was the place the priestess had mentioned.

“……This is it.”

Among all the secluded places in the Spirit Tower, the most heterogeneous and an other-dimensional subspace close to another world.

Is the Immeasurable (無間) [a concept of infinite space or dimension], which observes and sees the flow of all curses on the continent, located beyond that void?

[…….]

The priestess did not answer.

Only the will of the revelation seemed to grow stronger, and the scenery in front of his eyes changed to that of a huge darkness.

Thud thud thud!!

A grating noise, as if blood vessels and veins were breaking.

A nasty sensation, as if he was forcibly digging into flesh and muscle, doing something that should not be done.

[As expected, this space is not a sanctuary located in either the material world or the spirit world.]

The priestess’s voice echoed faintly from the other side of the rapidly blurring vision.

[A moment where the spirit and flesh intersect in the flow of life and death. A hall of contradictions that has molded that concept into a real territory and held it between the levels of the tower… It is truly a space where there is no gap.]

“……”

[That is why it is possible to observe curses that do not originally exist in the flow and leave a record of them.]

The priestess’s monologue was made up of rather difficult and complex concepts, but Lenok vaguely understood what principle and essence her words represented.

Between the material world and the spirit world where Yorta is located. Among them, the boundary line where the two concepts are precisely transformed.

Does it mean that they forcibly constructed a gap that did not originally exist between the levels of the Spirit Tower, making it a real space?

[Originally, it would not even be permissible to shine a revelation on this area, but….]

The moment he felt that the priestess’s transmission was slightly blurred.

Conversely, the will she was showing began to grow much stronger.

[For the sake of what that person desires next, I…!!]

Crack…!!

The high priest who presides over all rituals within the Order, and a medium who directly communicates with the end of the Outer Sea and receives its power.

In the process, he processes the fragments of ‘omniscience’ he obtained into a form of image that humans can understand and pours it into his head.

He knows what cannot be known, sees what cannot be seen, and understands what cannot be understood.

He sends an understanding that transcends cognition beyond the hall of contradictions, forcibly opening the scenery beyond it.

Charrrr…!!!

Tap, tap, tap…!!

At that moment, Lenok was hearing the quiet sound of pieces of wood colliding.

Faintly flickering shapes collided with each other and danced before his eyes.

Something that flickered as if dancing in the darkness became a barrier that blocked his vision, blocking the scenery on the other side.

The moment Lenok inadvertently raised his gaze towards the other side.

“A precious guest has come from beyond the sea.”

A raspy voice echoed in his ear.

“……!!!”

Amidst the swaying shadows, someone wearing a pure white robe stood there suddenly.

“You seem to be quite desperate. Even if you don’t urge us, we will only do our work.”

The existence whose face could not be seen did not look at Lenok or the priestess, but raised its head high and looked up at the other side of the darkness.

As if it was looking not at them, but at the Outer Sea itself that was guiding the revelation.

“I acknowledge that obsession of claiming salvation even after receiving the grace of the outside. But I cannot show you the inside.”

“……”

It was not Lenok or the priestess.

A very metaphorical message conveyed to someone else, borrowing their memories.

“After the night parade is over, there will be no need for such poor excuses.”

The fingertips of the robe, which had casually passed through the priestess’s will, slightly obscured his vision.

“Let’s meet again after a thousand nights. Failed savior.”

Whoosh!!

Like a lie, the revelation was released, and Lenok was back in the cold prison.

“……Cough!!”

[…….]

Lenok, who was finally able to breathe properly and was coughing repeatedly, and the priestess’s spirit, who was standing there with an indescribable expression.

Both of them knew that each other was maintaining a complete consciousness, but they did not say anything in particular.

Lenok, who had been silent, touched the mask covering his face and said.

“For now… I guess we should be satisfied with confirming the location of the Immeasurable.”

The unknown shadow barrier that exists beyond the Immeasurable.

Beyond that, there is someone who is guarding the Immeasurable.

A message that reads the essence of the revelation that the priestess used and conveys it not to them but to the one behind them.

He acknowledged that the situation was too unfavorable to touch it right now.

[……I understand. Instead, let’s consider using the revelation in another direction.]

The priestess also immediately changed the subject as if agreeing with Lenok’s words.

An answer that seemed to forcibly turn away from a problem that should not be seen now. But Lenok did not refuse either.

[Now that we have an idea of the cross-sectional escape route of the prison, how about finding out the means?]

“Can you use it again after seeing that just now?”

[It will no longer be possible to confirm macroscopic futures or directions.]

The priestess shook her head.

[However, if it is about observing the surroundings that are directly or indirectly related to you, I can somehow do it a few times.]

“Hmm, even if it’s useful, there’s nothing to use it for right now….’

However, even if he used the revelation as the priestess said, it would be difficult to see anything in the surroundings right now.

Of course, he would not be able to see his own fate, so he would have to use it on others or objects.

But in this empty prison, it is impossible to gain any meaning even if he uses the revelation.

He would be able to receive help again only after directly accessing the Yorta residential area or core facilities such as the Spirit Tower.

Just as Lenok was about to open his mouth to postpone the priestess’s proposal, thinking that way.

“Damn it, it’s so noisy!!”

Thump!!

The wall of the prison shook greatly, and a fierce voice burst out from next to him.

“What the hell are you muttering to yourself since a while ago?!”

“……”

Only then did Lenok turn to look at the prisoner locked in the cell right next to him.

A giant with thick hair all over his body was glaring at Lenok with a distorted face.

He was in a strange posture, squatting down with the same kind of handcuffs as Lenok on both hands.

Lenok, looking at the giant’s strange posture of not touching his buttocks to the ground, asked as if he was dumbfounded.

“Are you sitting like that because the floor is cold?”

“What if I am?”

The giant spat out and replied.

The spit that fell on the prison floor instantly froze and turned into a white coin.

“I don’t care if you freeze to death here, but if you’re going to die, shut your mouth and die quietly.”

While Lenok was frowning behind his mask at the unexpectedly dirty result, the giant said in a harsh voice.

“Don’t make noise in this prison that isn’t soundproof. Got it?”

“……”

As he said, it could be seen that other prisoners were glaring at him, having heard Lenok’s words from all over the prison.

It was not strange that they were annoyed if they had heard the conversation Lenok had with the priestess and thought it was a meaningless monologue.

“What will you do if I keep talking?”

At those words, the giant quietly brought his face close to the bars towards Lenok.

“Shall we see how the face hidden inside that mask gets crushed right before you die?”

“……”

The small eyes visible under his thick eyebrows were filled with a deep murderous intent.

Perhaps he was a pleasure killer who had been doing quite dirty things even before coming to Yorta.

The prisoners locked in other cells were also not very sound or innocent-looking.

Perhaps it was clear that the purpose of this prison was to imprison those who had committed such impure crimes.

“I’ve decided. I’ll use the function of revelation one more time.”

Having thought that far, Lenok turned his head towards the priestess.

“I’ll use this giant as a specimen. It’ll be a perfect experiment.”

[……Huh?]

While the priestess was flustered and hesitated, the giant heard Lenok’s words and stood up, grabbing the bars with both hands.

“Hey, you bastard, do my words sound like a lie?”

Crack…!!

At that moment, the giant’s arm twisted in a bizarre direction and slipped through the narrow bars in an instant.

Thump!!

The giant, who had stretched out his bizarrely twisted arm and immediately grabbed Lenok’s hood, let out a rough breath.

“One arm is enough to take care of a crazy person who doesn’t listen. Isn’t that right?”

“I’m sorry.”

Only then did Lenok chuckle and raise both hands.

“Personally, I’m doing something that requires possession. Sometimes, when inspiration comes, it’s hard to control.”

“What? Possession?”

Regardless of the giant’s strange expression, Lenok calmly licked his lips.

“I have a minor talent. As an apology, I would like to tell you your fortune, would that be okay?”

“……”

[You. Could it be?]

The priestess, who had finally realized what Lenok was trying to do, asked back with a dumbfounded look.

Lenok was now trying to use the function of revelation in a completely secular way.

“……Ah, never mind.”

The giant, who had been twitching his lips, soon grabbed Lenok’s shoulders with both hands.

“I’m going to tear your mouth apart from now on, so let’s see how long you can keep babbling.”

But even in the meantime, Lenok nodded towards the priestess instead of looking at the giant.

“Naidri. Now.”

[……Hoo.]

The priestess reluctantly sighed and immediately pulled up the function of revelation.

Kiiiiiing…!!

It was closer to the sensation of picking up a grain of sand from a sandy beach, putting it in his mouth, and rolling it with his tongue.

It was so faint that it was difficult to notice, but it was strangely annoying, so he could be sure that it was there.

However, with that alone, he could clearly understand what the grain of sand was.

Immediately, the inflammation of revelation unfolded beyond Lenok’s right eye.

“You failed in a big business recently.”

“……What?”

Lenok said, pretending to be arrogant, leaving the twitching giant behind.

“A very close friend betrayed you. Isn’t that right?”

“Th, that’s…!!”

“That friend, did he perhaps have a long philtrum and a very protruding jaw?”

Lenok naturally spewed out words, leaving the giant with his mouth wide open.

“A lot of magic power is contained in the lower jaw, which is a greedy face. It’s a type of person that doesn’t suit a sincere and faithful face like yours.”

[……]

The giant’s face, which looked far from sincere or faithful to anyone.

The priestess sent a cold gaze to Lenok, but the giant was already mesmerized, and the fingers that had been holding Lenok’s robe were losing strength.

“You must have had a lot of hardships to have drifted all the way to this remote place. You probably got scammed once along the way.”

“Th, that’s right…….”

The giant muttered, stammering.

“Not knowing that I had to make a boat at the pier, I ended up buying a boat from some scammer…!!”

“That’s unfortunate.”

Lenok asked in a tone that was not at all unfortunate.

“The reason you started the business wasn’t just for financial reasons, right?”

“Hoo…!!”

Lenok nodded, leaving the giant who was inhaling.

“It was difficult to improve since the beginning was not smooth. But it’s admirable that you haven’t lost your ambition despite that.”

“O, elder!!”

He was already kneeling in the opposite cell, listening to Lenok’s words respectfully.
