Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 594



The Genius Wizard Who Takes Medicine Episode 594

Form Change (2)

A lightning spirit that changed its own attribute from lightning to ice.

Following the fox whose entire body has changed into a frozen form the shape of the fox fire that circles around Dabi like a satellite also changes.

Damn it…!!

The fox fire which had been constantly emitting intense thunderbolts froze on the spot and turned into an ice sphere that shed a cold chill.

The gorilla spirit seeing this stood up with a lot of blood and violently struck down the trace of destruction that had stopped right in front of its nose.

[Gwaaa!!]

Kwaang!!

The shattered train fragments and chair seat screws flew around turning into a storm that destroyed everything in all directions.

However the two fox fires that spread around the bodies of Lennok and Priscilla became a solid ice shield to protect them.

Taaa!!

The moment the remaining fox fire stretched and turned into a smooth ice road Dabi jumped off Lennok’s shoulder and started running.

Dodododog!!

The sight of a fox cub running vigorously across the frozen ground on all four cute legs.

The figure of Dabi sliding at high speed across the icy road quickly soared up to the feet of the gorilla spirit.

Wow!!

[Whoops…!!]

A gorilla spirit that steps back in embarrassment due to the freezing cold that covers its toes.

While Priscilla made an indescribable expression at the sight Lennok continued to speak.

“I told you that I recommend using the imprinting association method using a specific object or memory to convert elemental magic right? However once you become familiar with the transformation of magical power you can easily change the nature of magical power without relying on your inner image.”

The gorilla clutching the half-destroyed train compartment snorted strongly and swung its arms as if it would crush the small Dabi’s back.

Kwaaaang!!

Due to the impact the ground flipped over and the damaged railway rails stood up undulating like waves.

However Dabi quickly ran across the ground absorbing his body as if it were soaking through the icy road in an instant as if such shock had nothing to do with it.

It looks as if he has transformed into the nature of ice and is hiding through the cold air.

Lennok looked at Dabi like that and spoke to Priscilla as if explaining it again.

“A fairy tale of elemental magic.”

[Keuak?!]

The panicked gorilla tried to stop Dabi’s approach by hurriedly hitting the ice road but Dabi’s new model reached the end of the ice road and quickly rose up behind the gorilla’s back.

Jump!!

The image of an ice fox rising above the sky in front of the library where the back of the gorilla’s head can be seen in an instant.

“Stealth.”

The moment the gorilla leaned back and flicked its shoulder to take a stab at Dabi Dabi’s body melted and disappeared like ice water on the spot.

Sigh!!

“acceleration.”

Dabi’s body appeared in place as if blinking lightly landed on the gorilla’s body and ran over it like crazy.

Cold frost seeped out from wherever the fox spirit ran covering the gorilla spirit’s body in pure white and freezing it.

“Slowdown inhibition overlap reaction.”

[Guuuuuuuck!!]

A pale chilly breath sweeps from the gorilla’s entire body covered in shaggy fur freezing and tying up its entire body.

The image of a gorilla struggling without being able to catch Dabi crossing over his body which had grown as large as a house.

Priscilla listened to Lennok’s explanation and watched blankly as Dabi freely converted and used the magic power of the ice system.

Lennok said looking at the dying spirit with an expressionless face.

“Originally that spirit would not have been this size. As their weight class grows their fighting power increases but they don’t know how to control their larger bodies. “The proof is that he tried to swing the train compartment with a club.”

When the gorilla spirit confirmed Dabi’s presence it decided to tear off a train compartment and try to swing it as a club.

For a being of that weight and size it would be inefficient to use the weight and size of the train compartment as a weapon.

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

However the fact that it even bothered to look for a weapon at that time is proof that the gorilla spirit is not accustomed to using its own body.

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

“The rituals that shamans talk about do not develop all the strengths of spirits. The focus is on selecting only one essence or specialized advantage of the spirit and forcibly growing it. If you take that into consideration…”

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

Kwaaaang!!

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

The moment when the shaman holding the blade with both hands somehow twisted his body to plunge it into Lennok’s neck.

Spirit Hierarchy Common Magic

[Frost Horn]

A sharp frozen spear protruding from a shield made of ice pierced through the shaman’s stomach.

Phew!!

At the same time the gorilla spirit stands still his entire body frozen engulfed in waves of cold air emitted by Dabi from behind.

[Freeze Order]

“Cough!!”

Lennok nodded as he looked at the shaman spitting out black blood in reaction.

“A spirit’s abilities and characteristics tend to resemble the caster’s imagery and techniques. “If you think about it this shaman is likely a superhuman specialized in close combat.”

There is not even an ounce of leisure left in the sight of him trying to reach out his hand to kill Lennok while convulsing from the pain that wrenches his intestines.

“In the process of applying the conversion of elemental magic like this in actual combat it is a very important ability to quickly recognize and predict the abilities and tendencies of the enemy you are dealing with. “Most wizards have a certain level of magical power that can be converted.”

Lennok who casually stood next to the gorilla spirit patted him on the shoulder without hesitation and said.

“You must determine whether the magical power you can convert is suitable for the battlefield and review the means necessary for victory. And all of these thought processes must be processed within 10 seconds of facing the enemy to determine whether combat is possible.”

“Let go…!!”

“….”

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

“Shall we give one more example? “The shamans I have met so far have voices that echo like echoes while wearing animal masks and they must take off the animal masks to summon spirits.”

Lennoc looked at Priscilla and grabbed the gorilla mask the shaman had worn.

“But even though this shaman summons his spirits he wears an animal mask and doesn’t even modulate his voice. The conclusion that can be drawn from there is….”

Even though he does not remove the gorilla mask and just holds it still the mask gradually fades and the face of a man with a bushy beard is revealed.

Lennok said as he looked at the shaman’s bare face glaring at the two with red bloodshot eyes.

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

“okay….”

“Do you know why I’m telling you this now?”

Lennok extinguished the gorilla spirit as he said that and looked back at Priscilla as he put Dabi on his shoulder.

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

“….”

“The mercenary industry is where it is difficult to guarantee a survival rate of more than half even if you go into battle with the necessary capabilities and thorough preparation.”

Only then did she realize that Lennok was pointing out Priscilla’s hasty actions and she lowered her head.

“Mila is not wrong. It is not enough to know your aptitude and lineage and master the magic of related attributes. “The curriculum pursued by Labatenon University of Magic is also far from that.”

“I know.”

Priscilla bit her lip slightly and answered.

“But I didn’t become a wizard to study magic or advance technology. “I have a sister…”

“….”

I know what she wants to say.

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

It was no wonder that she felt indebted to that fact.

It’s natural that Priscilla hopes for a future where she and Mila will one day work together in the field.

But on the other hand it was also necessary to let them know that it was still a hasty matter.

“Cough!! “You guys are having fun…”

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

“okay. I guess the one I should be targeting was over there not the elementalist…!! “I was blinded by the smell… so I misunderstood…”

Priscilla’s shoulders twitch at the sight of the shaman glaring at her with shining gaze.

However instead of losing her composure and retreating she quickly calmed down and stared at the shaman.

Being able to maintain reason in the face of someone who threatens you. This was enough for now.

Lennok thought so and asked the shaman whose stomach was bleeding.

“You said you saw and smelled my spirit.”

[The one that smells is this gorilla right?]

Before he knew it Dabi was back on top of Lennok’s head protesting quietly and tapping his hair with his tail.

However the shaman saw Dabi communicating with Lennok and opened his eyes wide even as he was dying.

“That’s right… That’s what we want from the spirit…”

“Smelling the scent of spirits is pursuing synesthesia of inspiration. “This is impossible without violating the taboo on the materialization of the soul.”

Lennok looked at the shaman and said.

“Offering humans in growth promotion rituals is not simply for the sake of growing spirits. “Isn’t this higher level beyond standard meant to touch the spirit and body of spirits and ultimately make them similar to humans?”

“That’s right….”

The shaman grinned with a bloody face as he struggled to keep his eyes from closing.

“I stopped midway… but even now other colleagues… are probably moving forward.”

“….”

“Our answer is not in this world… but out there….”

Breathing becomes faint as if it will stop at any moment.

However even though the shaman knew that he was dying he was not at all afraid to go beyond.

The only thing that exists in those eyes is a strong confidence in one’s own answer.

“Not in the material world but in the garden of the spiritual world where the soul resides… My daughter…”

The appearance of a shaman who was unable to continue speaking until the end and his eyes lost focus.

If I had saved my breath and chosen my words I could have lived a little longer. But he didn’t choose that path.

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

“The spirit world….”

[….]

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

Where do spirits come from and what is the talent that allows us to work with spirits and coexist with them?

Where is the qualification and source that can perform life-like activities and possess intelligence without existing as a substance?

Since no one has yet properly investigated and theorized it the study of elementalism remains a power that relies entirely on talent.

Is the purpose that Goesingung wants to achieve through this work go beyond the simple growth of the spirit?

Priscilla asked looking at the dead shaman’s body with a complicated expression.

“Is everyone like this?”

“What?”

“Do you have to trust your own answers this much to become a high-ranking wizard?”

“….”

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

Priscilla looks a bit confused.

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

Perhaps it’s because she too has heard over her shoulder the fact that at some point everyone has to come up with their own answer.

So rather than telling her whether what she said was right or wrong Lennoch decided to choose a different answer.

“Wouldn’t it be considered an answer if it can help even those who haven’t decided on the answer?”

“…yes?”

“I don’t know the details but in the end that’s what the truth that high-ranking magicians are searching for means.”

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

“We don’t have much time. “I guess I should check the Central Library first.”

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

“Mila will be waiting.”

* * *

Labatenon University Central Library.

In terms of size it is one of the top three buildings in the university and a treasure trove of knowledge known to contain 10 million books.

It is said to have existed longer than the history of Labatenon University.

It also played an important role in selecting the location for the university when an educational institution was created under the approval of the Balkan city government.

In fact the status is such that it can be said that Labatenon University was created in this location due to the existence of this library.

As it has gone through countless reconstructions and constructions over its long history there are many rumors about the existence of hidden rooms or reading rooms that disappeared during the process.

The rumor that a hidden room was piled high with grimoires and artifacts and that a vengeful spirit released from the grimoires wandered around every night was one of the most famous ghost stories that even Lennok knew about.

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

Lennok thought as he carefully opened the glass door of the library and entered.

‘If there was someone who helped the Gosingung Palace and planned all of this from within they would certainly have known about the existence of the hidden room or reading room in the library.’

In this world where magic and mystery live there are surprisingly few false rumors or ghost stories.

No matter how absurd urban legends or rumors are most of them are derived from a reasoned reality or truth and are inflated.

Lennok thought that the dean was locked in a hidden reading room or something like that.

Squeak!!

As soon as I open the door and go inside the smell of books wafts through me.

The unique calming scent created by collecting and stacking papers that have been stored for a long time makes you feel as if your mind is calming.

“Priscilla. Are you familiar with the structure of the Central Library?”

“During exam periods I often come and study. To some extent…”

Priscilla said with a nervous look.

“Can I show you around to the assistant professor?”

“No it’s okay. “I only asked because I was afraid I might not know the structure.”

Lennok also visited the Central Library a few times while searching for reading and researching various papers.

It was enough to know that this huge library not only boasts over 10 floors but also has a warehouse storing books even underground.

“I don’t have time so I’ll explain briefly. “The books in the Central Library are protected by strong preservation techniques hung inside the building.”

Lennok said pulling a book from a nearby bookshelf and opening it.

“It is a type of ancient magic to protect books that has existed for a very long time. Through this if a book is damaged or damaged most of the damage is repaired on the spot.”

When I gently press a sheet of paper in an open book to fold it in half close the book and open it again the fold marks are completely gone.

“Slight damage like this can be repaired immediately but this is different if the damage is so serious that the book is destroyed. “It is designed to recreate damaged books by implementing book information backed up inside the library’s basement.”

Since he couldn’t tear up the book right here Lennok quietly put it back on the bookshelf and said

“It takes approximately 5 hours to restore damaged books. If it is short it can be called short; if it is long it can be called long. Do you know what this means?”

Priscilla immediately understood what he meant and nodded.

“What I’m saying is that if the Dean is trapped here there may be a large pile of books nearby that have not yet been recovered.”

“It’s just a hypothesis but the Dean sent his spirit to me to let me know that something was wrong with his life.”

Lennok’s eyes shone sharply.

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

If the dean himself had resisted as much as possible while being detained there would have been enough time for traces of that to still remain.

“I understood. “Then maybe…?”

[…?]

Priscilla looks at Dabi with expectant eyes but when Dabi tilts his head she quickly looks away.

Dabi who finally noticed her thoughts quietly whispered to Lennok in exasperation.

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

“….”

It seems that all kinds of situations were handled and resolved in the name of Dabi’s abilities and the side effects are slowly starting to appear.

Dabi unaware of Lennok’s thoughts was still tilting his head with a cold expression on his face.

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

“There are some things that cannot be solved with elemental magic alone. “It would be a good idea to look for a book reading room first.”
