Genius Wizard Takes Medicine - Chapter 348



Only Krnovel

Hanghasa Labyrinth (2)

“Two years ago I owed my agent.”

Zaun said.

His gaze was not on Lennok, but on Evelyn, who was standing next to him.

Zaun was aware of Ibelin’s existence from the beginning and appeared here first.

Zaun raised both hands with a slight smile on his face and said. His pale hands were stained with the blood of the man he had just killed.

“I didn’t know that a person of integrity like you would covet an Ascendant’s relic, but the city government seems to be in need of money these days, isn’t it?”

There was no answer.

Evelyn’s body, staring at Zaun’s face with a displeased expression, just disappeared on the spot.

profit!!

Extremely compressed leap sound. Her model runs ahead of that short sound.

Skip a distance of dozens of meters with one breath and twist your mana. Inside the empty robe, he stabbed a gleaming blade into his chest.

Right after that, with a unique noise like glass breaking, a full-color glow flashed inside the dark cavity.

Wow Jangchang!!

At some point, the jewel thrown by Zaun accurately caught Ibelin’s first attack, and was unable to overcome the impact and shattered.

Chara la la rock!!

Fragments of jewels flying in the air glisten in all directions, drawing a small rain of light.

The moment he confirmed Evelyn’s quick reaction, Lennok immediately moved.

‘Zaun does not know who I am. I have no choice but to refrain from using lightning magic.’

Roaring… … !!

It was not a sharp whirlpool of electricity that was raised from the palm of the hand, but a mass of flame that burned as hot as if it could melt flesh.

He fixed the stream of fire flowing down through his five fingers and finished the chant in an instant.

[Small ball]

[Nine-fold expansion complex melting]

The nine-pronged fireballs that rose from the air all around Zaun’s robe rotated and melted like snow.

As it was, it surrounded Zaun and drew the shape of a huge full moon.

[red moon]

Aaaaaaaaaaa!!!

A technique that unleashes a fireball and at the same time melts the magical structure and forcibly draws out destructive power.

Occupying all directions, including the overhead, the rotating moon of flame lit up the labyrinth cavity and wriggled to burn all living things.

“Ugh… … !!”

The moment when even Evelyn stepped back from the intense heat.

Awesome!!

[Red moon] was split with a mysterious phenomenon as if space were split apart, and Zaun sprang forward as if it were bouncing.

Incredible speed. The direction he was aiming for was Lennok, not Ibelin.

Lennox, too, was not too surprised and straightened up.

In his memory, Zaun Ordis is an excellent martial artist as well as an excellent jeweler.

He knew from the beginning that it was unlikely that he would give up close combat now, having risen to an excellent level in both art and martial arts at that time.

“It’s better.”

To fire-type magic, adding a change in the nature of melting that has recently been able to be used skillfully.

It is an advanced technique that requires judgment and understanding to accurately grasp the structure of the magic you are using and to destroy the work you have built in an instant.

Even after understanding how to use it, there was no way to use it for a while, so it wouldn’t be bad to try using it against Zaun here.

Between the crossroads of the dark labyrinth, in an instant, the two narrow the distance and face each other.

Chae-chae-chae-chae-chae!!

As Lenok folded his fingers and waved his arms, the scattering flames bloomed into different types of flowers,

The jewels thrown up by Zaun explode and block the development of countless flames from all sides.

Jewel shards flying non-stop. The level of concern that it will enter the respiratory tract and cause problems.

It wasn’t the workshop where he exchanged equals with Lennok himself, even for a moment, but the moment he burst into admiration for the amount of jewelry he possessed.

close by… … !!

Cracks in the landscape splitting apart as if from all sides began to cover Lennok.

“… … !!”

Lennok’s expression frowned as he recognized that the unknown phenomenon was not simply due to coincidence, but was clearly a space separation caused by Zaun.

Zaun, with a confident look on his face, held out his pale left hand toward Lennok’s neck.

At the moment when a sharp jewel inserted between the index and middle fingers glows and emits light, Lennok also reaches into his arms and activates the Archangel’s compassion.

As it was, it transferred the sparkling jewel fragments to the back of Zaun.

Whoops!!

The moment Zaun wriggled as the space separation began to dissipate like smoke immediately after, a black flash of light from the side penetrated his left shoulder.

“Ugh… … !!”

A moan that came out for the first time.

Unable to overcome its power, Zaun’s new model flies backwards and crashes into the wall.

Kwaaaaang!!

“No wonder. You didn’t expect me to be watching you, did you?”

Evelyn’s cold assertion as she turned her shoulder and walked beside Lennok.

Zaun carefully touched his left shoulder with a trembling hand.

Kagagak… … !!

The arrow from Evelyn was still spinning, stuck in Zaun’s shoulder.

It is unbelievably powerful enough to be an archery shot with bare hands without any special equipment.

“Instead of running away, you’re aiming for this in reverse… … . Did you think things would go so easily?”

I have no intention of leaving the first attack at its best. If you expand your territory, you will become a troublesome opponent.

The moment Evelyn was about to move to put an end to Zaun.

Lennok grabbed her by the shoulder and stopped her.

“for a moment.”

“Evan?”

Lennok, who had been gazing at the fallen Zaun with sharp eyes, reached out into the air.

Fragments of jewels falling bizarrely slowly from all directions.

Lennok, holding the shiny shard between his gloves, observed it with interest.

“Jewelry minerals are quite strong.”

“… … .”

“There are many cases in which ores are made of regular structures and patterns, but isn’t it strange that all kinds of gems are split into such thin slices?”

“That means… … .”

“He probably had his hands written in advance in preparation for a battle like this.”

As Lennok said, he brushed off the jewel dust with his gloved hand.

An unnatural separation of space that occurred in the middle of a battle. While exchanging workshops with Zaun, he had already guessed the principle to some extent.

“Diffuse reflection of processed magical power using fragments of jewels… … . Using that side effect, they are forcibly peeling off the nearby space and collapsing it.”

Lennok shook his head as Zaun slowly raised his head.

“It is a very sophisticated and complex method. The specific principle itself is difficult for me to understand easily. It would be virtually impossible if the near-random diffuse reflection pattern of the magic light was not arbitrarily fitted into this environment.”

After scattering fragments of the jewels smashed during the battle all over the cavity, magical light shines through them, forcibly peeling off the nearby space.

A phenomenon in which magical energy, diffusely reflected hundreds of times in a fleeting moment through fragments scattered throughout the cavity, cannot overcome the limit and distorts, gnawing away at the space itself.

While the phenomenon itself has nothing to do with direct manipulation of space, it is clear that Zaun is aware of the way space is manipulated as a result of the spell.

The rumor that Zaun Ordis was the closest to level 8 in the Western Continent was not a lie.

“But it seems clear that he deliberately manifested it… … It doesn’t change the fact that I went through countless trials and errors. No matter how you think about it, it is quite far from the current trend in academia.”

“… … .”

“The rumors I’ve heard about you, it seems, weren’t all nonsense.”

Only then did Zaun smile, looking back at Lennok.

“Did you say Evan? The flame wizard who defeated the drug lord… … You seem to have enough skills to move with Evelyn.”

Zaun pulled out the shaft that had pierced his shoulder and stopped spinning, then stood up.

As if he wasn’t hurt, he casually swung his left arm around and smiled as he took a step forward.

“I think this is enough to check each other’s skills, but can I talk about my business now?”

“… … ”

“To be honest, I have no ill feelings toward the agent. As a result, thanks to the Hyeongung not appearing on the scene, I was able to escape safely using the warlock as bait. If it wasn’t for that, I wouldn’t be where I am today.”

At that time, the reason Evelyn couldn’t go to the scene of subjugating the warlock was to catch and arrest Reisen, the city council senator who was behind the task, but there was no need to tell Zaun here.

Evelyn, too, noticed the atmosphere going on in Zaun’s horse and stepped forward.

He realized that it was actually because of her that Zaun had taken off his robes and revealed his true identity.

“What is going on here?”

Evelyn asked with a slightly cold expression.

As an agent, she knows all about Zaun’s attempt to wreak havoc in the megalopolis by commanding the terrorist organization Falchion and colluding with the warlock Craig Tillian.

Of course, you know that Zaun crossed over to the West Continent, created a criminal organization called Eldervine, and is active as a 7th level Astral Jeweler.

“I thought you weren’t planning on returning to the Balkans after the failed descent.”

“It is as you say. This is not the Balkans. I have no intention of going back to that oversized city either.”

Zaun, who answered indifferently, shrugged lightly.

“Why do I have to come here and explain my situation in detail? I’m sure I’m not the only one who thought of robbing the Ascendant’s legacy and getting a good chunk of it.”

“… … .”

“In the process, I was just scolding these idiots who were greedy without knowing the subject.”

As Zaun said, he kicked the head off the corpse that had fallen at his feet.

Tung!

The head, which had been blown off the back of his foot, rolled around and hit the wall of the cavity.

Evelyn furrowed her brow in annoyance, with an expression that quickly ran away.

“I don’t care who you kill. What I want to say is… … . Why did you crawl out in front of us instead of shutting up and running away?”

With those words, a black arrow protruded from Ibelin’s hand.

Evelyn, holding the sharp arrowhead in reverse, took a step forward from Lennok and said,

“You’re revealing your face here, you mean you want to decide before entering the labyrinth, right?”

A sharp sense of anticipation emanating from her whole body instantly fills the cavity of the labyrinth.

A bizarre sensation as if all the magical powers existing in space rearranged their directions in an instant and were aiming for Zaun.

“It’s better. I don’t know what they did, but I’ll kill them here before they branch out in even weirder directions.”

Zaun calmly shook his head even when he saw Evelyn muttering eerie words with an expressionless face.

“I’m sorry, but it’s the complete opposite. Because of the avalanche you guys caused, my plans went awry before I even entered the labyrinth.”

“what?”

A completely different look from before, when she avoided confrontation with high-ranking people such as Evelyn.

Zaun smiled faintly and crossed his arms in response.

“My men are scattered before even entering the labyrinth, and their location is unknown. So I’m just saying… … . Would you like to hold hands with me?”

“… … .”

“Needless to say about your skill at the Hyeongung, I have some information about the labyrinth that others do not know. If we cooperate, attacking the labyrinth itself will not be difficult.”

With that, Zaun took out a jewel the size of a finger from within.

“As a jeweler, I can handle various spells regardless of hierarchy or attribute. I think it will be at least as helpful as that wizard next to you. how is it?”

Silence passed.

Neither Lennok nor Evelyn thought Zaun would offer a long-term deal at this point.

To enter into negotiations with Evelyn after excluding Lennok right next to her, wouldn’t it be impossible without the confidence that she was superior as a sorcerer?

“That’s a lot of confidence.”

Evelyn also smiled as if she noticed the nuance.

“It’s to the point where I wonder if he’s the one who ran away with his tail wrapped around the dog.”

As she mentioned Van’s name directly, Zaun’s lips twitched faintly.

“… … I have heard the news about him. At that time, he killed the boss of the cartel shortly thereafter and rose to the top of the castle.”

“You know me well?”

Zaun struggled to laugh at Evelyn’s teasing words.

“I lost to a loser, and I just accepted the outcome. and… … now i’m stronger You must have known, too.”

“well. I don’t know.”

Evelyn replied, then turned her head to Lennok.

“Evan, what do you think?”

“… … .”

Sensing her intentions, Lennok frowned slightly.

From her point of view, knowing that Van and Evan are the same person, the current situation will feel strange.

However, Zaun sensed something different from Lennok in that reaction and hardened his expression slightly.

Evelyn turned the answer to Lennok. She realized that the actual decision-making power was held by a wizard named Evan.
