Genius Wizard Takes Medicine - Chapter 450



Only Krnovel

Boundary of the Well (3)

Contrary to his blunt words and actions, did he have knowledge of Jindun’s barrier art?

A labyrinth that confined shamans through magicians. It didn’t openly deploy the barrier line, it just melted down the principle.

However, the clown had only confirmed the composition and principle of the maze, and was questioning Lennok, realizing that it was Jindun’s barrier technique.

“It seems that magicians these days are taking and using such a high-level barrier technique without permission. The world has changed so much.”

“… … .”

“I’m not a transparent person either, but there is such a thing as a degree. Isn’t it?”

The image of a clown hissing the blade in his hand with a smile.

“I couldn’t help it because Leya was interrupting me earlier, but shouldn’t I check what I need to check and move on?”

He had an amused look on his face, as if he couldn’t stand it because he was enjoying the situation, but Lennok didn’t attach much importance to it.

Even as he swayed back and forth in front of Lennok’s eyes, the clown’s eyes remained on Lennok’s mask.

He didn’t want to interrogate Lennok right now, or fight it out himself.

It’s just that he shakes Lennok like this, crosses the line, and constantly tries to check his reaction.

Whether you get angry here, calmly explain the reason, or bring a plausible excuse, the clown will only enjoy it more.

So instead of denying or avoiding the clown’s words, Lennok laughed.

“You don’t know what kind of person Jindun is.”

“… … What did you say?”

“It looks like you only saw the traces of the barrier technique and stabbed it once, but there’s nothing to tell you even if you pretend to hold the tendon.”

The clown only vaguely knows what Jindun’s shielding technique feels like, but he has no idea of ​​its true value or how it was acquired.

If Lennok had really inherited Jindun’s shielding technique and was convinced of its value, there would be no reason for him to act in such an ambiguous manner.

Lennok saw through it, and rather succeeded in determining how much the clown knew about Jindun.

He seemed to think that shaking Lenok once with an unexpected keyword would spit out information about the identity beyond the mask, but

Lennok was terribly savvy at such a ploy to try to woo people like this.

“… … Mmmmm.”

The clown tilted his head to one side as if this was not the case, and wrinkled his expression as if he did not like it.

“This is not the reaction I expected… … . Can we take off that mask and talk for a while?”

At that moment, the communicator rang loudly from the clown’s waist.

Freyja’s high-pitched voice echoed through the crackling noise.

[X-foot, finally connected… … !! If you don’t crawl out quickly… … !! What are you really talking about… … half a day… … !!]

“… … .”

Even when words are interrupted, I can understand the meaning of the words and the feelings contained in them.

The clown sighed heavily and shrugged his shoulders and nodded.

“… … Shall we go?”

“I will.”

The bloody atmosphere that had been questioning Lennok a while ago was nowhere to be found, and the appearance of a clown defenselessly turning his back and taking the lead.

As bizarre as it was, Lennok had no intention of making a futile effort to understand him.

“By the way, I almost lost myself in the middle of the jungle for nothing. Something really big was about to happen~”

On the contrary, the clown began talking nonstop to Lennok, spinning his five blades as if moths were sore from not being able to talk for a while.

“I don’t have a lot of cases like this because I’m lucky with the original body, but I have to think of it as a bad luck with a big deal. Can you tell me anything?”

“… … .”

“Certainly, this is a problem with my technique. Well, I guess I can’t give up the thrill of leaving my fate to chance… … . Whoops.”

“It seems certain that he is insane.”

Lennok snorted while listening to the clown’s nonsense.

I’m sure the clown’s strength has a lot to do with the number of dice he throws.

The idea of ​​leaving life-and-death battles to one’s own luck did not seem sane, but rather, it was difficult to predict how strong the clown’s ability would be.

The fact that one’s ability depends on luck itself is a powerful geas and bondage.

It seems certain that he is a superman of level 7 or higher just by looking at his achievements at a glance, but how much power is given to such a talented person when the best luck falls.

Maybe the reason why this man is in charge and directing this operation, not the leader or leader-

“Well, it’s about time, so let’s go to the well. Since you kicked the ladder so hard, it’s probably useless for a while… … hmm?”

The clown who kicked and knocked down the body of Cayenne, whom he had decapitated, muttered as if he had finally noticed.

“These guys, they were shamans from Maengnok’s spell.”

“He was the most persistent of all the guys who passed this way.”

Lennok answered while restoring his magical energy by collecting magicians that had spread all over the place.

“It took me a while to kill everyone because I dealt with it more closely than I thought.”

In fact, there were quite a few people who tried to pass through the forest that Lennok occupied besides Maengrok’s spell.

A mercenary, explorer, or a group of private soldiers secretly followed the path dug by shamans or mercenaries who arrived near a well through the jungle all night.

All of them were cut off from their limbs by Lennok’s sorcerer, who couldn’t see them properly, and either became prey to animals or plants, or just ran away.

Among them, it was only the shaman who survived the most tenaciously and meticulously and saw Lennok’s face.

“ah… … . It’s unfortunate.”

The clown sighed upon hearing Lennok’s words.

“The head of Maengnok’s spell has already talked well with me and left.”

“what?”

“To kill a crying friend with my own hands without knowing that the leader abandoned them… … .”

The clown’s face as he said that was smiling brightly as if he were crying.

“This is why I can’t easily quit this job.”

“… … .”

“Huh, then shall we go soon?”

The clown, who laughed strangely at the silent Lennok, passed Lennok and started leading the way.

“There is no need to hold the line from now on. I only interrupted because I was afraid that those who don’t know the subject would get their hands on the well before the time was up.”

While skilfully turning several thin blades with one hand, he rattled the dice with the other hand.

“Rather, from now on, I want them to gather around the altar diligently. You will see something interesting.”

“It’s been a while since dawn.”

Lennok ignored the clown’s words and looked away.

“If Gyebaek arrived, there should be signs soon. Is it time yet?”

“no. The appointment time will be exact. Because that is the plan.”

Saying so, the clown pointed to the sky outside the jungle.

“Has it already begun to show?”

Curling… … !!

From far away in the jungle, the sky slowly turns black.

It is completely different from simply setting the sun and turning the day dark into night.

An ideological monster that spreads the energy of death in all directions just by existing, catches living creatures and binds them to their own geas.

Gyebaek, a corrupted man who had gone mad after failing to ascend to heaven, had finally reached the jungle along the southern coast of the continent.

The clown gazed at the darkening sky with an ecstatic expression and nodded.

“Leya and Glenn must have already checked. We move too.”

* * *

Lennok and the clown soon returned to the outskirts of the city and were reunited with Leya.

All of the dozens of members of the unit were in tatters, as if Glenn had been fighting a fierce battle on the blockade just a while ago.

“Fuck, I haven’t seen all the dramas yet… … Can’t we just take this?”

“Anyway, when the time comes, such simple electronics will fail.”

“Hey, what do you know? It’s a laptop that catches and sends satellite signals directly, right?”

“… … Was the satellite’s power wasted on something like that?”

A clown muttering absurdly, and Freyja arguing.

In one hand, Leya, who changed into a fancy outfit again, held a microphone combined with a cradle.

Lennok looked at them from behind and calmed his gaze.

It was hard to believe that he was faced with a clash of ascendants.

Even at this moment, it felt unfamiliar to Lennok, who sensed the presence of countless superhumans desperately running from all over the jungle.

Glenn, Leya, and all three clowns couldn’t see and confirm that ability with their own eyes, but no matter how powerful and unique they are, how can they be so calm?

Either he believes in something, or he isn’t sane enough not to lose his pace even in this situation.

And Lennok’s experience with them so far seemed closer to the latter.

“it’s okay. If I talk to a bastard like you for a long time, it only spoils my mood.”

Leya, who had been arguing over the course of the laptop, waved her hands as if she was fed up.

“You know I can’t get far out of an airship, right? It’s up to you to pull out the well from the altar. When the time comes, I will do my own thing.”

“We didn’t come together to do that, did we? Do you take good care of your body? If we start, a lot of eyes will be on you, Leya.”

“Ha, who is this concerned about… … go.”

Raya’s bizarre self-confidence.

It is certain that he is a superhuman who uses magical powers, but judging from his momentum and physical condition, he is by no means a person with physical abilities.

What kind of abilities do you have that make you so confident? What’s wrong with her clown and Glenn’s attitude that he can’t treat her badly.

Now you can check everything.

Leya, who started moving busily near the airship, left behind, and the three of them headed inside the collapsed ancient city.

Remnants of a city made by stacking old rocks.

Between the fragments of the streets collapsed over a long period of time and various shocks, countless moss and wild grasses have become greenish-brown.

Stone statues of unknown meaning and bizarre ancient letters are scattered everywhere.

And from this moment on, to the roaring sounds that can be heard from the outskirts of the city without rest, and the sky where the sunlight in the dawning morning becomes colorless.

In the middle of the city square, which has not yet lost its calm, apart from the chaos going on outside, the clown said.

“In fact, it is not the time for the handbook’s well to appear. Do you know?”

“no.”

The clown continued with a smirk at Lennok’s plaintive answer.

“Well, there’s no way to know if Myung explained it, so I’ll do it again. The Ascendant Handbook is one of the Transcendents who have inherited the mission from generation to generation, and is similar to the Heavenly Dog, which guarded the lighthouse and observed the open sea to postpone its destruction.”

“… … .”

“The well she guards is one of the biggest space-time rifts in this closed world… … In other words, it is no different than a passage that can be directly connected to the open sea.”

“so?”

“That’s why it’s sealed with such a strong seal, and you have to pay a huge price to summon him.”

The clown looked away from Lennok and pointed towards the edge of the plaza.

The appearance of a huge altar that has not lost its presence exceptionally in the square where the city collapsed.

At the top of the altar, which draws the shape of a huge tetrahedron like a pyramid, a huge circular ring ornament is installed.

And thousands of steps made to climb up to the ring.

The clown said, unaware that Lenok was shaking his shoulders at the moment of incomprehensible chills.

“It is said that the ancients who built a civilization in this jungle in the past opened a well by offering the hearts of 10,000 living humans and summoned ascenders to offer sacrifices.”

“… … what?”

“If you’re considering what I’m going to do from now on, it’s not that different.”

At the same time the clown said that and waved his finger at Glenn, dozens of Glenn who had been following without a word all at once took out daggers from their arms.

Pooh!!

At the same time, without hesitation, Glenn, who had slit his chest and cut out his heart with a knife, put the heart on his feet and collapsed.

“Kihihi, as expected, this is a professional skill.”

A satisfied smile formed on the clown’s lips as he picked up the slowly beating heart, gushing blood.

“I always feel it whenever I work with Glenn, but few partners are as well-off on the verge of human sacrifice as this guy. A life of letting go of everything and adapting is actually the most immoral thing.”

It was only then that Lennok, realizing what the clown intended to use Glenn for, frowned.

“… … .Was it manpower to be used for human sacrifice from the beginning? It’s not even the first time something like this has happened.”

“Oops, was it too cruel a sight for a space magician who grew up in a precious way?”

iron!!

The clown threw the heart he was holding onto the floor and took out a dice with a grin.

“Still, I can’t help it. I don’t know if it’s Myeong or the leader, but I prefer this way much more. Isn’t that comfortable too?”

The dice that fell from the clown’s hand slowly rolled on the floor.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

The clown who rolled eight dice on the floor at the same time grinned.

“How much of a business it is to be able to touch your luck with a mere human life.”

cheap!!

As the dice rolled, he inhaled the blood pooled on the floor.

The green cross section was dyed crimson, and even the scale of the dice soaked in blood and began to glow white, and the rotation of the dice changed even more strangely.

Click, click!!

The dice that seemed to stop at any moment roll a few more turns and change the number to appear.

As if it was decided from the beginning which scale to show.

[6] [6] [6] [6] [6] [6] [6] [6]

The moment all eight dice pointed to the highest scale, the dice soaked in blood crumbled and turned to dust.

At the same time, I heard a sound like something breaking inside the clown’s body.

Explosive mana exploded from his body and sent a huge shockwave across the square.

Aaaaaaaaaaaa!!!

“This… … !!”

Its presence was so heavy and dull that even Lennok was startled for a moment. He is so eerie and bizarre that it is hard to believe that he is the same person.

The body of the clown is gradually deteriorating, scattering signs that are transcendent and magnificent.

Ddu-dududuk, ddu-dududuk!!

The bone’s skeleton and musculature are reassembled on the spot, transforming its existence into something completely different.

A figure that takes the form of a human but transforms into something non-human.

Both of the clown’s pupils lost focus and swung around, illuminating the white and pupil alternately, turning the lens black.

On the contrary, the skin of the whole body turns white as if his face had been painted over, and the corners of his mouth are elongated and fixed in the form of a bizarre smile.

The shape of the entire body, including the limbs, has become elongated and stooped, like a demon who has come up from hell wearing a clown mask.

thud!!

At the same time as he stepped forward with his long, curved feet, the floor of the plaza burned black and burned as he followed his footsteps.

The clown silently looked down at his body, patted his shoulder, and muttered.

Before he knew it, his voice had changed to a horrifying scream that echoed through his entire body, not just his mouth.

[Roughly, it seems that the extreme position was pierced, but I don’t know if this is enough. It’s been a while since I’ve rolled so many dice of fate… … . Hmm.]

“… … You’re not crazy.”

Lennok watched closely from the side and shook his head.

“If you play with the hierarchy like that, the whole image will be burned away. What you are doing is not tampering with cause and effect.”

[Ooh.]

The clown, tilting his head bizarrely, grinned.

[Seeing that you mentioned causality, you seem to have roughly understood who I am.]

What the clown just did wasn’t simply amplifying his power by raising the high point of the dice.

Forcibly creating luck that would not normally exist through human sacrifice and hitting one’s own body with a hierarchy that exceeds the limit.

A deception created by using the Clown’s own image, elaborately twisted Geass, and his ability to deceive his own unique reality to the limit.

It is to play with the basic law itself that there must be a cause for an effect.

It’s interesting that the jester’s ability can intervene in causality itself, but it goes without saying how much the side effect of cheating the hierarchy in this way is.

After the duration of that ability, called the Dice of Destiny, is over, the aftereffects that would make death more palatable would come.

It is not the talent or ability of the body, but the power created by the forbidden art of human sacrifice, and the spirit that has been swept away will literally turn into a rag.

However, the clown nodded his head even after hearing Lennok’s bloody sentence.

[I can’t help it. In order to interfere with the timeline with my magic, I have to inflate the weight class itself.]

“A timeline?”

[Kihihi, as a result, interfering with space-time is an 8th-level privilege, but monsters that can tamper with time are very few among people with extreme abilities.]

Saying that, the clown leaned over and threw his head forward.

At that moment, his elongated body contorted as if a haze spread, emerging from the top of the altar hundreds of meters in the air.

[The Handbook is not such an immature being that it raises its head just because it sacrifices a few humans. therefore… … . From now on, I will slightly cheat the timeline of the altar.]

chin!!

The clown whispered as he grabbed a long circular ring with both hands that could be hundreds of meters in radius.

[To the moment when this city she loved was alive and breathing without losing its vitality.]
