Genius Wizard Takes Medicine - Chapter 97



Only Krnovel

Change in anti-torque properties: black

[pole number (極藩)]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!

A flash of black that erodes everything flooded the cavity.

Craig’s tattered body was helplessly swept away in the heat, which was unbelievable for a human being to wield.

The dark brilliance that differentiates and spreads into hundreds of branches fills and collapses all visible spaces.

The mana that began to run wild outside the realm filled the entire cavity and exploded, shaking and twisting the unstable underground space.

Aaaaaaang!!

The main base of Falchion, which was intricately intertwined like an ant’s nest. As the lowermost space begins to shake, helplessly the upper hallway begins to collapse as well.

Hitting the falling stones with shield magic, Lennok calmed down and took a deep breath.

The figure of Craig, now so disfigured that even his body was unrecognizable, was there.

I slowly lifted my face with crushed eyes and looked in the direction of Lennok.

“ㅡI wanted to change the world.”

A much calmer voice came out.

“I wanted to go beyond the limits of a wizard and look at the scenery beyond.”

Slowly, Craig looked down at his disintegrating body and said.

“But it seems that the qualification was given to someone other than me.”

“……..”

“I am confident. I’m glad I was able to see you for a while…”

A small whisper heard over the body that disappeared as a handful of ashes.

Even people who burn their whole bodies with grandiose ideals are bound to perish very easily in this world.

What kind of person can rise higher?

Lennok didn’t know.

It wasn’t the warlock who threw everything to survive and promise the next one, but only that one who struggled ugly.

He suppressed his complicated feelings and raised his head.

The quarry, which had been collapsing ever since the hole in the ceiling, was shaking wildly out of control.

I had to escape right away, but there was something more important than that.

Lennok immediately went to the spot where Craig had disappeared and picked up the hardware stored under the common floor.

A database originally created to contain artificial intelligence through necromancy.

It has already been destroyed by the previous area expansion, but if we can extract the remaining data from it, it will be of great help.

half

“…Damn it.”

Zaun seemed to be aiming for the hardware as well, and as soon as Lennok picked it up, he clicked his tongue and backed away.

Only then did Chen and Hina, who had been holding onto him tenaciously, slowly backed away.

There were no more casualties, but everyone was covered in blood as if there was no one who did not allow Zaun to attack.

Even looking at the power of the allies, who were breathing heavily, the limit was clear.

A very brief lull. But even at this moment, the common is collapsing.

Zaun sighed as he looked back at them.

“It’s like a dog.”

“……..”

“I thought Craig would definitely destroy the 50th Division, but I never thought it would end without even getting up. It’s a human thing, it’s not that easy.”

“Is this the time to talk like that?”

Caang!

Hina raised her blade as if she hadn’t given up on the battle yet.

“You must have been an apostle of justice.”

Zaun responded nonchalantly as he caught the piercing stare.

“If I failed to control the shards of extinction, I won’t be able to see any more. It’s not my taste to cling to finished plans. Let’s break up here soon.”

“Who said they would let you go?”

Chen limply took a step forward and raised the sword, but all he got back was a sneer.

“That’s not for you to decide, you asshole. I’m talking to the wizard standing behind you.”

Everyone shut up at the unexpected, but unanswerable words.

Of all the people gathered here right now, only two could be said to have done their part.

Zaun Ordis succeeded in tying the feet of more than dozens of people with a single body.

And Lennok, who single-handedly went downstairs, killed Craig, and shattered his plans.

Zaun was starkly revealing that Lennok was the only one qualified to discuss what was next.

In fact, without the agreement of these two powers, no one can move on to the next.

“……”

Lennok took the tobacco from his mouth without saying a word.

‘There isn’t much magic left.’

Normally, there would be no such thing as running out of mana in a battle of this magnitude, but the problem was that the area was interpreted and deployed backwards, canceling Craig’s necromancy ceremony in the process, and a lot of mana was wasted.

In addition, after using the newly embodied nature-changing unique magic [Polar Number] from inside the realm, even Lennok came as a considerable burden.

It will all recover over time, but it’s too much to continue fighting right now.

Even more so when it comes to dealing with an excellent magician like Zaun.

After thinking for a moment, Lennok slowly nodded.

“Let it go.”

“half?”

It must be difficult for those who are heated with the excitement of battle to understand mentally.

But in the end, as soon as Craig was defeated, Lennok and the agent finished their work.

It was of no benefit to either side to force themselves to seize Zaun here.

“A wise decision.”

Zaun nodded and pulled out three jewels from his bosom and put them on his fingers.

One of the freelancers who was watching the scene muttered tiredly.

“To think that even after using so many spells, there were still spares left…”

Considering that the strength of the freelancers who first entered was reduced to less than half, it must mean that they still have strength after fighting many to one for so long.

Forcibly continuing the battle in this crumbling cavity would only increase useless losses.

Zaun Ordis was also not a person to be treated as an ordinary terrorist.

After crushing the three jewels in her hand and scattering the powder on the floor, a portal opened with a bright blue light.

“It was a pity. If I killed you here, the aftertaste would have been clean.”

Zaun stepped back into the portal and grinned as he turned to Lennok.

“Money goes as it is, and my idiots have been looking for it. I never imagined that there would be someone who would interpret the artificial realm and directly imitate it.”

“……..”

Again, Zaun seemed to understand perfectly how Lennok had thwarted Craig’s plans.

That is proof that, unlike his frivolous words and actions, he has both the keen eye and discernment of a master sorcerer.

It was clear that the enemy could not be caught off guard.

will we meet again It’s not nice to see that tricky battle method.

But Zaun must have thought the same, he smiled and shook his head.

“Well, okay. It has nothing to do with me anymore.”

“……”

“Let’s not see each other again. Eat well and live well in that rotten city. Don’t come out for nothing…”

Saying that, Zaun turned his back without regret and threw himself into the portal.

Lennok stared at him as he disappeared in an instant.

I thought I’d met a lot of crazy people, but there weren’t many opponents who were so erratic.

Even though he says money is the best, he thinks of revenge for his friend, then changes his words and runs away as if he did it again.

Is it just that he doesn’t reveal his true intentions, or is it just that he enjoys lying for no reason?

Even the way he fought was very similar to his character of eating lies.

He’s the type of person that doesn’t fit Lennok at all. He had the same desire not to see her again.

Only after realizing that Zaun was completely gone, Hina slowly withdrew her sword.

“……It’s over.”

The sight of her muttering with a tired face is proof that the fight against Zaun was just as fierce.

Considering how he used all sorts of jewels to bring out spells of a completely different system, it’s only natural that he felt difficult to deal with.

Chen also shook his head with a depressed face.

“It was the limit to hold on to my feet. Maybe, with a little more time, he would have been the one to go down the joint first.”

“That’s enough.”

Lennok replied.

In any case, it was definitely their contribution that helped him face Craig face-to-face.

That was enough.

Koo Goo Goo…!!

As they talk, the collapse gets worse and worse.

The stones that had begun to pile up around it now filled up to the point of filling up half of the cavity.

“We have to escape before it collapses in its entirety.”

Someone said that, but no one here took it seriously.

Coincidence or not, all freelancers who have survived are masters of magic manipulation.

If his life was in danger just by being buried under a pile of stones, he would have died long ago at the hands of terrorists.

Hina said with a determined face.

“I will investigate the database remaining here and escape. We can’t go back until we find the statement about Reisen’s slush fund.”

“Originally, I was going to interrogate that crazy old man myself and find out, but… I can’t believe he’s dead.”

Cheisha pouted and helped.

“There is no need for that.”

said Lennok, taking out the hardware he had retrieved earlier from within his arms.

“I found a database that Craig used personally.”

“This….!! thank you!!”

Lennok nodded as Hina looked at the hardware with a brightened face.

“Let’s go out. If you don’t get out of here quickly, you won’t be in good shape.”

“What is that…?”

“By now, the freelancers on the Reisen side should have noticed that this is the main base.”

No one here could not understand Lennok’s words.
