The Genius Wizard Who Takes Medicine Episode 638
How to kill a god (4)
“It’s the smell of a longing soul….”
Lennok inadvertently smiled wryly despite the backflow of sticky flames rushing in front of him.
As soon as Kashuin reveals his name the archangel’s compassion vibrates violently in his arms.
Those words that refer to oneself as a sinner who came down from the seat of the archangel.
How was it that a being like this was able to maintain its soul form intact beyond the door? Even to the point of who the failed god he served was referring to.
Because I felt like I could tell what kind of person he was with just that one word.
Is it possible to understand someone like this even though they are just strangers on the other side of the world whom you have never seen in person?
“A failed god. Were they called by that name in that world?”
The reason this is possible is probably because Lennok also knows the god served by the archangel in front of him.
Archangel Series Artifacts of the Old World.
It is not simply a name for grouping specific artifacts into similar standards.
An artifact created under the power of transcendents who once dreamed of ascending to the end of the sky in a truly forgotten world.
Kashuin was a being who ascended to the throne of heaven with both the power and status of the old world originating from the Archangel series.
Damn it…!!
The huge lake cavity burst into flames and froze with dark red slime flowing from all directions.
It is too hideous to be called an archangel and its magical power is too oppressive to deny.
Kwaaaang!!!
The blood armor worn by the Archangel wriggled like a living creature for a moment then pierced Lennok’s shield and struck his chest.
A shock wave explodes as soon as Lennok’s new form disappears.
At the same time as the magician’s new form retreated a dozen meters back a huge fountain rose up tracing a waterway over the lake.
Shoot!!!
Floating ice fragments and lake water droplets pour down mixed like rain and snow.
The jade flames surging through the water glided like tears along Chilgab’s wings.
In the split-second moment of collision catching and suppressing the forces rushing from all directions only fragments of unsent thoughts come and go like arrows.

It was a close collision but Lennok was convinced that the opponent was a being who transcended hierarchy.
A monster that transcends hierarchy even beyond a world that has already been destroyed and has not yet forgotten its status.
However despite knowing this Lennok concentrated on observing Kashuin rather than killing him right away and heading through the door.
‘An archangel who abandoned God. However its nature and magic pattern are far from those of the Archangel series.’
The artifact category called the Archangel series is a Noble Phantasm that is by far the highest level in the Holy Spirit series among the relics of the old world.
Lennok is also somewhat related and possesses the Archangel’s compassion which exists in the form of a staff.
The powerful and unique effects of the Archangel series work well with Lennok so even though it has been a long time since I acquired it I immediately use it as my favorite equipment.
What’s more with the help of Pandemonium didn’t he personally take Archangel’s Tears which are said to increase lifespan?
However the sticky red flames that Kashuin can feel right before his eyes are far from the magic pattern of the Archangel category that Lennok knows.
Is it because as Kashuin calls himself he is a sinner who abandoned God and came down from the seat of the archangel?
Grumbling!!
Kashuin muttered as he lightly twisted the spear pole with both hands and covered the sticky red flame again.
“I don’t know why I can hear your voice so clearly.”
“….”
“In this world where everything feels blurry only that sound is clear. Yes even if I want to deny it I…!!”
Red blood trickled out from between the eyes covered with a helmet.
A miserable figure wearing armor all over his body as if he was shedding tears of blood. Sticky blood-covered wings fluttered pitifully on his back.
Lennok who was looking at Kashuin in confusion straightened up and stood up.
“I am not your god.”
Lennok answered in a calm voice.
As soon as Kashuin appeared the door that had been spewing out dark red fluid suddenly returned to its pure white and clean form.
Lennok who was looking at the shape of the sliding door raised his magic power and muttered.
“But I think I know why you were able to respond to Hermes’ call… I guess you used faith as a standard to create a connection with this world even on the other side of the old world.”
The failed god that Kashuin serves still lives in this world and receives the faith of others.
That is why the spirit of Kashuin who remained in the old world was able to use that faith as a crossroads to reach this world beyond the gate without getting lost.
That is the true nature of the miracle in which a monster of the highest rank transcending hierarchy was able to appear in the body of one Meister.
The essence of the religious group that most used human sacrifice in both the old world and the modern world.
“I believed that the promised time would come but that’s why I didn’t believe it again.”
Kashuin muttered blankly.
“Because I thought that even if it was just a message to comfort us it was enough.”
The moment Kashuin who had his head down slowly raised his gaze a red eye light flashed from the other side of the helmet.
“But looking at you I feel like your promise wasn’t just a promise.”
“Your God has not failed or abandoned you. “I just forgot.”
Lennok adjusting his iron mask laughed.
“The moment the world circulates and cause and effect ends everything becomes nothing so who will remember the promise?”
“No I remember!!”
Kagagak…!!

Along with the feeling that the end of the scimitar became heavier the shield and ice barrier that separated the two people were torn apart at an insane speed.
Wow!!
The ice barrier and shield fragments were completely shattered and at the same time Lennok and Kashuin disappeared from the spot.
Kashuin who drew a trail of dark red flames every time he swung his spear and Lennok who drew water from the lake and fired it violently using ice magic clashed almost simultaneously.
Kugwagwagwagwa!!!
The calm surface of the lake bounces like waves rising like crazy and with Lennok’s hand gestures it freezes and turns into waves of cold.
Kashuin’s body flew across the sharply ground ice fragments turning into a ray of flame that pierced the cold barrier from the front.
Every time the jade flames which make breathing difficult surround the space broken ice shards swirl around.
[Bingbaekju (氷白柱): Gakryeom (角灎)]
[Manha snow white: county white]
Every time a shock wave hits the lake a frozen pillar of ice rises from the spot at a speed close to sound.
The cold air that radiated from the tip of the broken fragment spun on the spot scattering pure white frost like snow.
Red and white brilliance mix in all directions transcending matter and intersecting in the realm of thought.
As the attack continued the line of cold air and the line of jade flame which were thinned to the limit swung around the entire lake then exploded and filled the space.
“I remember. “I believed in your promise and laid down on the ridge of optimism!!”
The sight of Kashuin screaming like crazy and clinging to Lennok constantly.
“…I did well to suffer.”
Heat bursting from the tip of his head flowed down Kashuin’s eye sockets.
A strange and eerie scene in which even Kashuin’s own eyes could not withstand the heat and were slowly melting.
“I was fortunate to be cursed. “Even if I am close to the scars that crumble and roll around like dust at the end of oblivion…!!”
Kashuin shouted frantically looking at Lennok with his melting eyes.
Craddeudeudeuk!!!
Kashuin muttered as he twisted his spear to peel away the falling ice barrier and dug through the exploding ice pieces.
“I am….”
Kashuin’s voice which was screaming like crazy in the excitement of battle was filled with sadness that could not be erased beyond madness.
A realm of ascension that could not be reached even after killing tens of thousands of people and drinking their blood.
His true self who ultimately failed and the third world he will never know.
The terrible truth that he a fragment of his soul and memories is facing all of these things.
In the face of a reality that is harsh to accept and difficult to understand even if we try to get drunk on blood and slaughter in the end we cannot escape.
Lennok looked at Kashuin quietly then placed his hand in his arms and whispered.
“I will help you meet your God.”
Keyee…!!
At the same time Kashuin’s screams stopped as he encountered the light of the archangel’s compassion shining in Lennok’s arms.
The helmet made of dark red fluid flows down and the face of the young man with his eyes wide open is revealed.
The reaction seemed to freeze in place as soon as he heard Lennok’s words.
However Lennok was not surprised by Kashuin’s reaction and silently raised his magic power and spun it.
A transcendental person who stood at the top of Qi Heaven in the old world.
A failed god who was worshiped by archangels and left them in endless longing.
And in this world as the master of the Ten Thousand Demon Battle he is a being who serves foreign gods.
It was clear that the failed god that Kashuin was talking about was someone Lennok knew.
The reason he felt longing for Lennok.
The reason why the artifacts in the Archangel series resonated and responded simultaneously.
All those miracles and fragments of fate are heading towards the headquarters of the church in the distance.
At that moment Kashuin stopped in a daze unable to do anything perhaps realizing that Lennok’s words were true.
Kwasik!!
The ice stake rising from his feet pierces Kashuin’s shoulder.
Immediately afterwards sharp thorns extended between the ice stakes instantly digging into Kashuin’s body and freezing him without hesitation.
Quick!!
The ice crystals flying near his temple exploded blowing off half of his head.
Countless sharp pillars of ice rose from beneath the surface of the water piercing Kashuin’s back arms and legs dozens of times and pinning him to the wall like a skewer.
“Whoop…!!”
Kashuin’s breathing stopped for a moment due to the overwhelming coldness that froze even his thoughts and the shock of the continuous fire.
Even though he is forcibly borrowing the body of a corpse that is already not breathing his body cannot hold on.
“It’s still not enough…!!”
However as if he had been waiting for this he went crazy and began to burn his body with all his remaining magical energy.
“Unless you prove that what you say is true…!!!”
A pair of wings that were twitching behind Kashuin’s back wrapped around his body and turned into a blazing fire melting away the dark red essence.
The slime that covered the surface of the water spread in all directions acting as a catalyst for flames coloring the entire area with hellish heat.
The moment when the jade flames that flowed from the archangel’s body reached the point of burning the entire space.
The Archangel’s staff flew like a flash of compassion and pierced Kashuin’s side like an arrow.
The body was driven into the lake wall like a stake.
Boom!!
“Ouch…!!”
“Time is up. “You know right?”
Lennok said throwing back the Archangel’s Compassion he was holding and striking it straight into Kashuin’s body.
“That body cannot fully contain your hierarchy. “The more I swung at it and burned it the more difficult it was for you to endure from the beginning.”
Kashuin is a strong body that incarnated in Harvest’s body in the form of a spirit.
However it is natural that the overflowing power and hierarchy cannot be fully contained in the Meister’s body.
Of course Harvest was also a magic user with outstanding talent and skill as a meister.
What descended upon his body was a monster who held the seat of an archangel and reigned as the highest power of the old world.
Neither mental images nor microcosm nor main body type techniques can be used.
All Kashuin could do was to forcibly change Harvest’s magic power to his own nature and wield the sticky jade flame as his own martial art.
The conditions themselves are infinitely unfavorable to Kashuin.
From the beginning Hermes tried to summon and use Kashuin only to bide his time.
“It is the same whether you are qualified to challenge for ascension or not.”
said Lennok clutching the Archangel’s compassion that was stuck in his side.
“Everyone just got a brief reprieve. “Not knowing that fact means that you also do not understand the meaning of ascension.”
“…I’m not interested in meaning.”
Kashuin who had been silent answered with difficulty.
“I don’t even want to know. “I’m just… waiting.”
“….”
“If you really… let me meet my god…”
Kashuin’s breath was cold and frozen.
As he slowly lowers his head frost forms between his cheeks and pupils and his breathing stops.
As the focus disappears from Kashuin’s eyes the archangel’s compassion that penetrates his body glows red.
A strange phenomenon in which dark red brilliance rotates and blends together between the iridescent jewels attached to the tip of the staff.
Realizing that Lennok’s suggestion was not a lie Kashuin’s spirit escaped Harvest’s body and blended into the Archangel’s compassion.
If the spirit of a true archangel resides in the Archangel series what direction will the artifact’s abilities expand in?
I wanted to test it out right away but I didn’t have much time.
A slightly stiff voice rang out from behind Lennok who was slowly extracting the Archangel’s sympathy.
“To think that the archangel of the old world could be cornered and crushed so easily…”
“….”
“You were a lot more dangerous than I thought.”
Even as Lennok and Kashuin clashed Hermes did not die and watched the battle until the end.
The head of Hermes stares at Lennok with a grotesque skeletal appearance with half of his face frozen and the other half of his face burning.
He didn’t die even after his head was cut off but he couldn’t survive the aftermath of the power wielded by the two superhumans.
Was it difficult to hold on any longer with half of my head burned off?
His calm voice became faint as if it had stopped and he whispered as if he would fall asleep at any moment.
“I wanted to summon a spirit that I could communicate well with but… unless it was a being with an insanely strong ego it would be on the other side of the door…”
“I guess he wasn’t in a state where he could hear and respond to you from beyond the door.”
As Lennok said that he grabbed Hermes’ head with one hand and lifted it up.
“It’s not wrong. In the end it is difficult to leave any mark on this world without going crazy. “I think so too.”
Hermes smiled faintly at those words.
“It’s too bad… I wanted to talk a little more… but that’s it for me.”
His gaze left with only one eyeball turned to the glowing figure of the door behind Lennok.
“The Archangel has taken his time and now… the door is closing…”
“….”
As he said the huge ring of light that Hermes opened is slowly fading and contracting.
At the point when Kashuin was summoned did Hermes admit that his first attempt was a failure and waited for the door to close?
This may be because Hermes was also wary of Lennok directly using the Ascension Gate.
“The next question and answer will be held in a place where no one is expecting each other….”
“no.”
Lennoc let go of Hermes’ head which was about to close his eyes with a satisfied expression and muttered.
thud!!
Hermes’ head rolling on the floor spattering blood.
Ignoring his gaze which was turned to the other side Lennoc grabbed the closing giant ring of light with one hand.
Snap!!
The moment when Lennoc without hesitation took out a small chip from his pocket and inserted it into the joint of the door.
The image of the door that was closing was fixed in place and began to glow again.
Udduddeuk!!!
“…!!”
“It hasn’t even started yet.”
At the moment when Hermes’ frost-covered eye widened Lennok raised his magic power and spoke.
“How on earth do you have that authority…!!”
A program code stored in the form of Geass in Elava Atermire’s mind.
Although he kept it in the form of a chip knowing only that it had the authority to open something specific Lennok knew that there would come a time when he would use it.
Designer of the Ascension Gate. I thought that if the descendant was a body of information that was forcibly stored in his or her head he would definitely encounter this moment while digging into the secrets of the Machine City.
And the guess was not wrong.
A gateway to observe and study parts of the newly created Old World after the failure of the Ascension Gate.
What existed in Elava’s mind was the program code with the right to open.
Hermes who was glaring at Lennok with a stiff expression soon laughed lowly.
“…But just opening the door won’t do anything. “If you reopen the door without prior work and coordination all you can do is…”
“What can be done?”
Lennok drew up his magic power and lifted the body into the air.
Lennok who had placed one foot on the edge of the giant ring of light looked back at Hermes who was speechless and smiled.
“You can find out by going directly to the other side.”
