Genius Magician Who Takes Medicine, Chapter 594

Form change (2)

A brain spirit that changed its own attributes from electric shock to ice.

Following the fox whose whole body has turned into a frozen shape, the shape of the fox fire that revolves around Dabi like a satellite also changes.

damn… … !!

The fox fire, which had been continuously emitting intense thunderbolts, turned into a sphere of ice that froze on the spot and shed chilly chills.

Seeing this, the gorilla spirit raised its veins and slashed the traces of destruction that had stopped right in front of its nose.

[That’s it!!]

Quaang!!

Debris from the smashed train and screws from the seats of the chairs flew and turned into a storm that shook everything in all directions.

However, the two fox fires that wrapped around Lennok and Priscilla’s bodies became a solid ice shield to protect them.

Taat!!

The moment the remaining fox-fire stretched and turned into a smooth icy road, Darby jumped off Lennok’s shoulder and started running.

dodododog!!

The figure of a fox cub vigorously running on the frozen ground on its four dainty legs.

The figure of Dabi, who slipped at high speed between the icy roads, approached the gorilla spirit’s feet in an instant and soared up.

Chow!!

[Whoops… … !!]

A gorilla spirit covering his toes and backing away in embarrassment from the freezing cold.

While Priscilla looked at him and put on an indescribable expression, Lennok continued to open his mouth.

“Didn’t I say that the conversion of elemental magic recommends using the imprint association method through a specific object or memory? However, once you become accustomed to transforming your magical power, you can easily change the nature of your magical power without relying on your inner image.”

The gorilla snorted strongly, clutching the half-shattered train car, and swung its arms as if to crush the back of the tiny Darby.

Kwaaang!!

The impact turned the ground upside down, and the broken railroad rails stood up, waving like waves.

However, as if that kind of shock had nothing to do with Dabi, she soon quickly absorbed her body through the icy road and quickly ran down the ground.

It was as if he had changed into the nature of ice and was hiding in the cold air.

Looking at Darby, Lennok said as if explaining to Priscilla again.

“Assimilation of elemental magic.”

[Keep off?!]

The embarrassed gorilla hurriedly stampede down the icy road to stop Davi’s approach, but Dabi’s model reached the end of the icy road and rose behind the gorilla in an instant.

Jump!!

In an instant, the back of the gorilla’s head is visible, and the figure of the ice fox rises above the sky in the front yard of the library.

“Stealth.”

The moment the gorilla tilts its back and flicks its shoulder to hit Dabi, Dabi’s body melts like ice water on the spot and disappears.

Shaak!!

“Acceleration.”

Darby’s body, which appeared from its place in a blink of an eye, landed lightly on the gorilla’s body, and ran over it like mad.

Wherever the fox spirit ran, cold frost oozes out, covering the body of the gorilla spirit in pure white and froze it.

“Slowing, inhibiting, stacking, repelling.”

[Boooooooooooo!!]

A pale breath of cold winds around the entire body of the gorilla covered in shaggy fur, freezing and tying up its entire body.

The image of a gorilla wandering around without hastily grabbing the tabi that crosses over its body, which has grown to the size of a house.

As Priscilla listened to Lennok’s explanation, she watched in a daze as Darby freely converted and used the magic of the ice system.

Lennok looked at the dying spirit with an expressionless face and said,

“Originally, that spirit wouldn’t have been this big. His fighting power has increased as his weight class has grown, but he doesn’t know how to control his body that has grown on his own. The proof is that he tried to swing the train car with a club.”

When the gorilla spirit confirmed Darby’s existence, it dared to tear down a train car and tried to wield it as a club.

For a being of that weight and size, using the weight and size of a train car as a weapon would be inefficient.

If he had the overwhelming strength he showed when he first stopped the train, why would he need a weapon in the first place?

But even so, the fact that he was looking for a weapon at that point in itself was proof that the gorilla spirit was not accustomed to using its own body.

It was evidence that the spirit’s strength and weight class were forcibly increased through the spirit growth promotion ceremony.

“The rites that shamans speak of do not develop all the strengths of an elemental. The focus is on forcibly growing only one elemental essence or specialized strength. Considering that… … .”

At that moment, the fox fire surrounding Lennok’s body rotated in place and turned into a huge circular shield.

Kwaaang!!

The appearance of a shaman holding a bright red blade in front of a shield made of fox fire.

The moment the sorcerer grabbed the blade with both hands and twisted his body to somehow insert it into Lennok’s throat.

[Frost Horn]

The sharp spear of ice protruding from the shield made of ice blocks pierced the shaman’s stomach.

Pooh!!

At the same time, the gorilla spirit was enveloped in waves of cold air emitted by Dabi from behind, and the entire body was frozen to a standstill.

[Freeze Order]

“Cool!!”

Lennok nodded as he watched the shaman spit out black blood in response.

“A spirit’s ability and characteristics tend to resemble the image and spell of the caster. With that in mind, this shaman is likely to be a superhuman specializing in close combat.”

While convulsing from the excruciating pain of twisting his intestines, there was not even a hint of room left in the sight of him reaching out to kill Lennok.

“As such, in the process of applying the transformation of elemental magic in practice, it is a very important ability to quickly recognize and predict the abilities and tendencies of opponents. For most mages, the system of magical power that can be converted is fixed to some extent.”

Standing casually next to the gorilla spirit, Lennok patted him on the shoulder without hesitation.

“You need to figure out if the magical power you can convert is suitable for the situation, and consider the means necessary for victory. And all these thought processes must be processed within 10 seconds of facing the enemy to determine whether or not combat is possible.”

“Let go, fuck… … !!”

“… … .”

Priscilla didn’t say anything and just stared blankly at Lennok.

“Shall we give one more example? The shamans I’ve met so far resonated like echoes when they were wearing beast masks, and they had to take off the beast masks to summon the spirits.”

Seeing Priscilla like that, Lennok grabbed the gorilla mask the shaman had put on him.

“However, this shaman wears the mask of a beast even after summoning his own spirit, and his voice is almost unaltered. The conclusion that can be drawn from that is… … .”

Even though the gorilla mask is not removed and the mask is held still, the shape of the mask gradually fades, revealing the face of a man with a shaggy beard.

Lennok said, looking at the shaman’s bare face as he glared at the two with bloodshot eyes.

“The animal mask he was wearing was an illusion close to hallucination.”

“okay… … .”

“Do you know why I am telling you this now?”

Saying so, Lennox annihilated the gorilla spirit and looked back at Priscilla as he put Darby on his shoulder.

“The abilities mentioned so far are basic knowledge that a wizard must have in order to go directly to the field.”

“… … .”

“The mercenary industry is where it is difficult to guarantee a survival rate of more than half even if you have the necessary skills and thoroughly prepare for battle.”

Realizing that Lennok was pointing out Priscilla’s rash behavior, she lowered her head.

“Mila is not wrong. It is not enough to know your own aptitude and lineage, and to master the magic of the related attribute. The curriculum that Rabatenon University of Magic aims for is also far from that.”

“I know.”

Priscilla bit her lip and replied.

“However, I did not become a wizard for the sake of magical research or technological development. I have a sister… … .”

“… … .”

I know what she wants to say.

Priscilla’s college tuition comes from the money Mila worked in the mercenary industry.

It was not so strange that she felt indebted to that fact.

It is only natural that Priscilla hopes for a future working with Mila in the field one day.

But on the contrary, it was necessary to let them know that it was still a long time ago.

“Cool!! You guys are playing… … .”

The shaman listened to Lennok’s words and sneered with a bloody mouth.

“okay. It’s not the elemental magician that we should be aiming for, it’s that way, keuh… … !! Blinded by the smell… … I misunderstood… … .”

Priscilla’s shoulders flinched at the sight of the sorcerer glaring at her with a shiny gaze.

But instead of losing her composure and backing down, she quickly calmed her agitation and stared at the shaman.

Being able to maintain reason in front of an opponent who threatens oneself. For now, this was enough.

Thinking so, Lennok asked the sorcerer who was bleeding profusely from his stomach.

“You said you saw and smelled my spirit.”

[Is this gorilla smelly?]

Darby returned to Lennok’s head and patted his hair with a tail in silent protest.

But the shaman saw Darby exchanging thoughts with Lennok, and his eyes widened even as he lay dying.

“Yeah, that’s right… … . What we want from the Spirit… … as soon as… … .”

“To smell the spirit is to pursue synesthesia of inspiration. This is impossible without breaking the taboo on the materialization of the soul.”

Lennok looked at the sorcerer and said.

“It is not simply to make a human spirit grow during the growth promotion ceremony. Isn’t that a high level that goes beyond the standard, to touch the spirit and body of the spirit and ultimately make it similar to a human?”

“Yes… … .”

The shaman grinned, his bloodied face trying hard to hold on to his closing eyes.

“I stopped along the way… … Even now, other colleagues… … You will be moving on.”

“… … .”

“Our answer is, not of this world… … out there… … there is… … .”

Breathing faint as if it would cut off at any moment.

But even though the shaman knew he was dying, he had no fear of stepping beyond.

The only thing that exists in those eyes is the strong conviction of one’s own answer.

“Not in the material world, but in the garden of the spirit world where the soul resides… … my daughter… … .”

The appearance of the sorcerer, unable to continue talking until the end, and the focus disappearing from his eyes.

If I had saved my breath and chose my words, I would have lived a little longer. But he didn’t choose that way.

Lennok muttered quietly as he looked at the shaman who died after talking only about his longing until the end.

“The spirit world… … .”

[…] … .]

It is the name of a dimension whose existence has not been officially confirmed, although all magicians who work with spirits have heard of it at least once.

Where does the spirit come from, what is the talent that can work with the spirit and coexist with it.

Where are the qualifications and sources for being able to carry out activities similar to life and possess intelligence without existing as a substance?

Since no one has properly identified and theorized it yet, the study of spiritism remains a force that is thoroughly based on talent.

Is the purpose that the Kaising Palace wants to achieve through this work is an ideal that goes beyond simply the growth of the spirit?

Priscilla looked at the dead shaman’s corpse with a complicated expression and asked.

“Is everyone like this?”

“What?”

“Do I have to believe this much in my own answer to become a high-ranking mage?”

“… … .”

“I don’t know. Is there such a thing as a truth that can blindly believe in something and blindly follow it? … .”

Priscilla looks somewhat confused.

Perhaps it wasn’t just because she felt something through this shaman.

It must be because she has heard over her shoulder that one day everyone will have to come up with their own answer.

So instead of telling her whether she was right or wrong, Lennok decided to choose a different answer.

“Can’t it be called an answer only when it can lead even those who haven’t decided on an answer?”

“… … yes?”

“I don’t know the details, but after all, that’s the meaning of the truth that high-ranking magicians are looking for.”

Lennok stood up and looked away without waiting for Priscilla’s answer.

“I don’t have much time. We should check the central library first.”

A huge lobby leading into the Central Library, which was blocked by a shaman with a gorilla spirit.

“Mila will be waiting for you.”

* * *

Rabatenon University Central Library.

In terms of scale, it is one of the top three buildings in the university, and a repository of knowledge that is said to hold 10 million books.

It is a place known to have existed longer than the history of the Rabatenon University,

It is also a place that played an important role in selecting the location of the university when an educational institution was created under the official approval of the Balkan city government.

To put it bluntly, the existence of this library is enough to say that Rabatenon University was created in this place.

As much as it has gone through countless reconstructions and constructions over its long history, there are rumors that there are hidden rooms or reading rooms that have disappeared and disappeared in the process.

The rumor that the secret room was piled high with sorcery books and artifacts, and that ghosts released from the sorcery roamed around every night was one of the ghost stories as famous as Lennok knew.

‘That’s why, if the dean is captured, there’s a high possibility that the stage will be the library, not the university’s main building.’

Lennok thought as he cautiously opened the library’s glass door and stepped inside.

‘If there was a being who helped the Goddess Palace plan all of this from inside, they would surely have known about the existence of the library’s hidden rooms and reading rooms.’

In this world where magic and mysteries live and breathe, there are surprisingly few false rumors or gossip.

No matter how absurd an urban legend or rumor is, most of them are derived from a reasonable reality or truth and are inflated.

Lennok had assumed that the dean would be confined to such a hidden reading room.

squeaky!!

The smell of books wafts in as soon as you open the door and enter.

The unique calming scent created by collecting and stacking paper that has been stored for a long time gives a feeling of calming the mind.

“Priscilla. Are you familiar with the structure of the central library?”

“During the exam period, he often came to me to study. To some extent… … .”

Priscilla said with a nervous expression.

“May I guide you to the assistant professor?”

“No, thanks. I was just asking in case you didn’t know the structure.”

Lenock also visited the Central Library several times in the process of finding, reading, and researching various papers.

It was enough to know that this huge library not only boasts a whopping 10 floors, but also has a warehouse that stores books all the way down to the basement.

“I’m running out of time, so I’ll explain briefly. The books of the Central Library are protected by strong conservation techniques that are hung inside the building.”

said Lennok, pulling a book from a nearby bookshelf and holding it open.

“It is a kind of ancient magic for book protection that has existed since a very long time ago, and through this, if the book is damaged or lost, most of the damage is repaired on the spot.”

After lightly pressing a sheet of paper in an open book in half, folding it, closing the book, and opening it again, the crease is almost gone.

“This level of light damage is immediately repaired, but it is not the case when the damage is so severe that the book is destroyed. It is designed to reproduce damaged books by implementing book information backed up in the basement of the library.”

I couldn’t tear the book right here, so Lennok calmly put it back on the shelf and said,

“It takes about 5 hours to restore a damaged book. If it’s short, it’s short, if it’s long, it’s a long time. Do you know what this means?”

Priscilla immediately understood the meaning and nodded.

“If the dean is locked up here, it means that there may be a large pile of unrecovered books nearby.”

“It’s just a hypothesis, but the dean sent his own spirit to inform me that something was wrong with him.”

Lennok’s eyes shone sharply.

“Then, wouldn’t you have tried to leave as much trace as possible about the place where you were confined?”

If the dean himself had resisted as much as possible during the process of being detained, it would still be enough time for any traces of it to remain.

“I understood. If so, maybe… … ?”

[…] … ?]

Priscilla looked at Darby with a look full of anticipation, but when Darby tilted her head, Priscilla hurriedly looked away.

Darby, who only then realized her thoughts, quietly whispered to Lennok in an exasperated tone.

[Master, this young organism seems to think of me as a convenient all-purpose tool.]

“… … .”

After solving all kinds of situations in the name of Darby’s ability, it seems that the side effects began to appear.

Darby, not knowing what Lennok was thinking, was still tilting his head with a cold air blowing.

Lennok cleared his throat and tried to change the subject again.

“Because there are things that cannot be solved with spirit magic alone. It would be better to visit the book reading room first.”
