Genius Wizard Who Eats Medicine Chapter 860

Takeover (28)

“… … I think the explanation is insufficient.”

A snake hundreds of meters tall that floated above the giant jungle.

An eerie shape that curls itself into a circle and fills the inner space with darkness.

As if the snake’s consciousness has become a door connecting the open sea, it slowly wriggles and degenerates.

A wave of darkness that came out dangerously as if it would destroy and consume the whole space of consciousness at any moment.

Lenok listened to the explanation of the cheongyeon, but quietly looked at the figure and opened his mouth.

“I understood that if an Ascendant dies with a broken mind, the door connecting reality and the open sea will open. Then the [doors] in this world must have been created with the death of an ascendant who existed in ancient times.”

“yes.”

“But that handbook, like you, is an existence close to the fragments of memories left in the past.”

said Lennok, glancing at the handbook.

“Can something like that happen even though it’s not the main body that exists in reality?”

The conscious space of the handbook that exists under the unconsciousness of the guardian spirit of the tower.

However, that handbook is not the person himself, but a consciousness created through the memories left by the handbook.

A fragment of the handbook’s memory and time cut and pasted, once clearly the handbook itself, but separated from the timeline of reality.

Even if such an existence went mad and fell, how could this fact affect reality?

As soon as Lennok heard the explanation, he understood the subtle nuances and fell into doubt.

However, Cheon-gyeon laughed as he listened to Lennok’s words.

“I would have said. I’m not going to stop you, I’m going to show you.”

“then… … .”

“What is happening here now is the last of the consciousness that Padme left behind. It’s an ending that hasn’t come to me yet.”

Tiancheng shrugged.

“The only thing that is broken is this consciousness space. It is only the consciousness of Padme, the owner of this space. I just have one question… … It means she chose this ending herself.”

“You chose yourself?”

“okay. I must have restrained myself not too long ago, but right before you arrived, I broke all attachments and fell. I don’t know why I chose the worst death for myself.”

“… … .”

No, Lennok seemed to know why.

The curse of metamorphosis that existed between the Handbook and the Guardian Spirit.

It was only after confirming that the curse of being eaten by spiritual beasts of the same lineage disappeared, that the conscious body of Pyeonram chose death by itself.

If the curse of metamorphosis had not been resolved, the guardian spirit beast connected to this consciousness space would have been swept away by the open sea.

The consciousness of the handbook recognized it, delayed death on its own, and accepted the ending only after realizing that Lennok had succeeded.

It was only after he was certain that the aftermath would not leak out to anyone, even though he knew it was the worst death for him.

Realizing this, while Lennok was silent, the large body of the handbook floated in the air and began to rotate slowly.

Koo Goo Goo!!!

The whole body of the giant snake is dyed black, and even the scales are discolored and fall off one by one.

The darkness of the open sea leaking from inside the circular passage ate the whole body of the snake and changed its shape.

The corruption and death of a transcendental being that even Lennok, who was watching, had never seen before.

The snake’s head, scales, and even its tail were lost, and the consciousness of the handbook soon turned into a completely black ring.

Inside the circular door, stained with sticky darkness, a jet-black substance gushed like a fountain.

oooooooo!!!

“… … .”

At that moment, Lennok understood why the [gate] connected to the open sea was called a well.

A terrifying circular passage that seemed to pump up infinite darkness from beyond the invisible space.

Anyone who watched its birth with their own two eyes could not think of any other word than the well.

However, Lennok’s thoughts were cut off the moment the darkness overflowing from the other side of the well rushed towards him like a wave.

“No, wait.”

keying!!

The moment he was about to raise his will and block it, Cheonhyeon raised one hand and began to make a hand sign.

At the same time, a huge pillar of light surged up centering on the heavenly dog, creating a dazzling curtain.

Guguaguagua!!!

A lighthouse of pure white light dozens of meters high bursts with dazzling brilliance and illuminates the darkness coming from all sides.

The light that flowed in between them brightened and blocked the pouring darkness as if to drive it away.

“… … !!!”

“Keep watching, Wizard.”

The darkness of the well, built on the basis of the handbook, was vast, deep, and thick like the sea.

However, Cheongyeon did not blink an eye even while receiving the enormous darkness pouring down from a diameter of hundreds of meters alone.

“How the manual’s consciousness dies. See how the Ascendant’s consciousness is broken.”

“… … that.”

“The beast that was born as a spiritual beast and became an ascendant, pours out everything and dies.”

The Thousand Dog said quietly.

“If a person who wants to take on a challenge wants to gain something, this moment will be the perfect opportunity.”

“… … .”

Seeing the death of the manual’s consciousness body, is it advice to get inspiration for ascension?

Although he had listened to the dog for a long time, Lennok honestly did not agree with it.

Through countless battles and realizations, until now. There weren’t many things that Lennok got easily.

No matter how intense and transcendental intuition you may have and stimulating and great inspiration engraved in your eyes, it is meaningless if you cannot reproduce it yourself.

In the realm of transcending the hierarchy and pioneering one’s own path, the important thing is whether one can create it with one’s own hands.

Just as there is a difference between seeing and learning, and between learning and understanding, understanding and creation are also different.

If only facing the fall and death of an ascendant could have made a difference, something must have already changed the moment he watched Gyebaek in the open sea.

“… … good.”

But Lennok put aside his rising questions for a moment and closed his eyes.

At the point where the plan to ask questions when meeting the handbook for the first time is ruined, there is no reason not to follow the words of Cheon Kyeon.

If the celestial dog, who had seen many of Lennok’s supernatural powers accumulated inside, said that, there must be a reason.

keying!!!

It raises the will to the limit and sharpens it infinitely so that it can contemplate everything around it.

Ignoring all forms and procedures, I focus only on catching up with the consciousness of the handbook that is sinking in front of my eyes.

“Hoo… … .”

Lenok, ignoring even the faintly audible exclamation, slowly turned his consciousness toward the well of darkness.

Dig!!

I hit the sense left in the space toward the other side of the well where the sticky darkness flowed.

Just like the first time I faced the open sea following Gyebaek, the moment I looked into the well created by the deterioration of Pyeonram’s consciousness.

Lennok was able to understand why Handam was an Transcendent who had risen to the ascendant’s hierarchy as a shaman.

Kagagak!!

A large body of a snake that remains coiled in the dark.

The form of a consciousness slowly dispersing with all its scales gone.

All the rituals of becoming one with the dark sea and crumbling are made up of countless formulas.

[…] … .]

High-level incantation characters that even Lennok, who had studied ancient texts, could not understand at all.

An extremely elaborate incantation woven using millions of such incantation characters.

What does it mean that such a technique disintegrates from the consciousness of a dying handbook that has become a well by itself?

The fact that the consciousness of the handbook existed as a real witchcraft itself.

The moment when Lennok, who realized that, looked up at the cold emotion that passed through a corner of his heart.

Pod!

Lennok’s consciousness returned to its original position in an instant.

“Kuh… … !!”

“I didn’t mean to throw your consciousness into the well by watching.”

Seeing Lennok, who sat there and breathed out, Cheon-gyeon asked as if he was quite surprised.

“Did you manipulate your mind by analyzing the structure of the well and calculating the time to return in that brief moment? It sounds like you have a lot of experiences like this.”

“… … .”

Lennok, instead of responding to the words of a thousand eyes, clutched his throbbing head and bowed his head.

Cheon-gyeon smiled as if it wasn’t surprising.

“It’s a relief that my head didn’t explode even after looking directly into the well. Your information processing speed seems to be better than mine. Did Jindun’s barrier art inherit that way?”

“… … The consciousness of the handbook was being absorbed into the open sea and disintegrating.”

Lennok barely answered.

“The entire consciousness that disintegrates like that… … It was made up of witchcraft.”

“If I had watched all of that, the story would have been quicker. Could you interpret it?”

“no.”

Thoughtful, Lennok shook his head.

“It is the result of reconstructing one’s intellect and will from the ground up with magic. If the ascendant’s intellect can be evoked through magic, then it must be a concept that is not tied to the realm of hierarchy. It is difficult for me, who is not a shaman.”

“That’s the core concept that defines the existence of Padmé Chiesa.”

The dog shook its head.

“Padmé was born as a spirit beast and learned witchcraft, and said that she suffered identity confusion for a long time. It is said that he agonized over which side to take between instinct as a beast and reason as a sorcerer.”

Quaang!!

Dense darkness overflows from the edge of the curtain of the white lighthouse.

Chun-gyeon, who caught the lump of darkness falling over his head with one hand, rubbed it with the back of his hand without thinking about it.

Incantations wriggling as if they were alive appeared on the palm of her hand.

Chen Gyeon showed Lennok the incantation he was holding and said.

“So what Padmé chose after thinking about it was… … It was to dismantle all of his instincts and intellect once and reconstruct it through witchcraft.”

“… … .”

Lennok, who was silent, asked.

“that is… … Is it possible?”

An unrealistic explanation that looks back on all the secrets and taboos of the world and feels absurd even to a wizard who has transcended the hierarchy.

Lennok, who quickly pondered Thousand Dog’s words in his head, asked.

“To accomplish such a task, an extremely sophisticated design is required so that the spell operates autonomously even after the will of the caster is extinguished. Can you do something like that with a sorcery that relies on your senses?”

“… … .”

“Even if you succeed, from the moment you reconstruct your instincts and reason like that, you won’t be sure that you really are yourself.”

The method described by Cheon-Gyeon does not end with simply injecting magic into one’s mind.

Dismantling and reconstructing instinct and intellect is, in fact, an act of touching the ego itself of the caster.

In other words, it is like replacing one’s own brain with an arithmetic processing unit that only works with magic.

Even if it works the same as before, no one can be sure that the person who reconstructs the mind will be the same as before.

“Since Padme is not human, her sense of self-recognition is different from us. No one knows how she would have taken it.”

The dog gestured indifferently.

“The important thing is that Padme succeeded. She completely dismantled and re-established her own instincts and reason, and shortly thereafter she rose to the ninth level and became her Ascendant.”

“… … .”

“Do you see why I am explaining this to you?”

“Are you saying that if you want to challenge the ascension, you have to gamble away even your ego?”

“no.”

Chun Gyeon shook his head resolutely.

“I was saying that there is something in the way Padmé did in a way that we all have in common.”

“… … .”

“The magic used by Padmé Chiesa to reconstruct her self. It was already far beyond the concept of hierarchy we perceive.”

The Thousand Dog spoke quietly to the silent Lennok.

“A power that destroys the caster and reconstructs the caster himself without depending on the caster. That was something that already surpassed Padmé Chiesa. Do you know what this means?”

“that… … .”

At that moment, Lennok, realizing what he was trying to say, fell silent.

Because through the death of the consciousness body, through the way the handbook exists, I realized what the reason I was trying to tell was.

Qualifying and becoming an ascendant is not a miracle performed only at the end of a grandiose ceremony, a great deity, or an infinite abyss.

The decisive reason why Pyeonram, who was born in the body of Young-Soo and learned witchcraft and gained intellect, was able to become an Ascendant.

“The sorcery that the handbook reconstructed its own consciousness. It must have been something of a transcendent concept beyond the 9th level.”

Lennok replied quietly.

“Does the moment an Ascendant recognizes a standard beyond what is allowed, does it make him qualified to become an Ascendant?”

A sorcery that goes beyond the concept of hierarchy that Cheongyeon mentioned earlier.

A decisive opportunity to reconstruct the handbook’s existence from scratch and make her an ascendant.

Something that symbolizes a transcendent concept.

“There is no exact name. It’s up to everyone how they call it.”

Chun Gyeon turned his gaze to an expressionless face.

“The reason Padmé was able to do it was because it was the longing she had hoped for all her life as a young woman. It was a feat that was only possible because there was a time when I was struggling and struggling between instinct and reason.”

Looking at the scenery of the well, which gets darker the farther you go, Cheonhyeon said.

“One answer that runs through all my life. Padmé made it through using talent and miracles beyond what she was given and—”

Cuguagua!!!

Except for the curtain of the lighthouse guarded by the dog, all other consciousness worlds were already tinged with endless darkness.

“Because of that, I finally fell, lost my memory, and fell into oblivion.”

“The reason for the oblivion… … .”

“okay. From there-”

Having said that, he turned his gaze back.

“You’d better listen to the real person.”

“… … what?”

At that moment, the world of consciousness submerged in darkness behind Cheon-Gyeon’s back was split in half and twisted.

Wow!!

The sky and the ground were distorted as if the real world were being cut in two, and a crack different from that of a well was knocked down from the outside.

At the same time, the darkness of the open sea that filled the entire consciousness space began to be sucked through the cracks in an instant.

Woooooooooooooo!!!!

In the fierce wind, Lennok opened his eyes and gazed over the newly formed rift.

Something with immeasurable mighty power sucks the darkness of the open sea from the other side of the rift and looks down at this place.

The moment Lennok realized it and immediately solidified his consciousness.

Fire!!

All the darkness that flowed from the well was sucked in and extinguished, and a quiet silence came.

Chun Gyeon, who was observing the situation, turned around, taking down the lighthouse he had built.

On the other side of the boundless expansive horizon of consciousness, stood an expressionless white-haired girl.

A sharp appearance with incomprehensible incantations engraved on the brown skin.

It’s the first time I’ve seen her, but I feel like I know who she is the moment I see her.

The moment Lennok involuntarily breathed in and hardened his complexion.

“Long time no see, Padme.”

The cheongyeon looked back at the girl and opened her mouth with a smile.

“How long has it been since we met like this?”

“Well, Madrea.”

A cold sneer appeared on the girl’s lips.

“I didn’t really want to meet you.”

9th Level Ascendant’s Handbook, by Padme Chiesa.

The Ascendant himself, who was asleep guarding the well in reality, descended into this consciousness space himself.
