Genius Wizard Takes Medicine-Novel

Chapter 215

[So, after half a day, I guess youve figured out how to move your body?]The source of this content ɪs NovelEnglish.net

Yes

Lennok, moving stiffly like a robot, responded as he poured water into a cup.

Even though he was wide awake and moving, each of his movements was incredibly linear and slow.

His movements seemed bizarre, as if he was calculating every angle and strength needed to move his arms But Lennok was really moving his body through a similar method.

Its completely different, the way my body moves. Theres a pattern

[Once you memorize the parts where your senses are misaligned, you can move consciously, I see.]

Davi sighed.

[The human who prescribed this probably didnt intend for this.]

The prescriber, Yakson, must have wished for Lennok to lie down motionless for three days while on medication, but Lennok was up and moving despite his misaligned senses.

It was like playing a game with the controllers buttons randomly reassigned.

Pressing the attack button makes you jump, and moving left on the console opens the item window.

Lennok had memorized his tangled senses and was consciously calculating his movements, which was dozens of times more complex.

This helps.

[Of course, otherwise, Master wouldnt have deliberately done this.]

As Davi said.

Simply put, the medication made from narcotic plants artificially stimulated the nerves, causing a misalignment in sensory control, but Lennok had discovered a different potential in it.

More than just a disconnect between body and mind, it was the alien sensation of meticulously calculating and controlling his body.

This unfamiliar sensation, which Lennok had never experienced before, was giving him fresh inspiration.

In a little while even with magic.

[Yes, yes, that would be great. To be able to use magic before your body returns to normal.]

Davi turned its head away as if regretting the time it worried, but Lennok ignored it and focused on moving.

Of course, Lennok didnt know the exact locations of the muscles in the human body, but it wasnt difficult for him to divide and categorize his body according to his standards.

The important thing was not to confuse the once-experienced sensation with other senses.

Even with the tangled senses, manipulating magic would become possible.

The ability to manipulate magic depended not only on will and mental strength but also on basic physical sensations, making it indispensable.

The first hour was just managing to drink water with one hand, but after two hours, he could stand up and balance himself.

Three hours later, he was able to walk on his own.

This wasnt the movement of Lennoks originally poor motor skills, but a new movement created by calculating the sensations from the ground up.

After half a day.

Crackle!!

Lennok, with his completely reversed senses, succeeded in casting magic again before 12 hours had passed.

Davi, watching from below, asked,

[I dont know how humans feel their bodies, but this is incredible, right?]

Explaining what Lennok had done to Davi seemed meaningless.

Instead of responding verbally, Lennok leaned against the wall, closed his eyes, and delved deeply into concentrating on the flow of mana within him.

He could sense it.

The pills effects spread throughout Lennoks body, subtly altering his sensory tolerance by stimulating his muscles.

It was a process of stretching the capabilities of Lennoks muscle cells, which inherently couldnt accept mana.

Finally regaining control over his mana, Lennok observed the process as though he were an outside observer.

He began to grasp why Yakson had recommended this form of treatment.

She had foreseen that, given Lennoks latent potential and talent, he would achieve such results, regardless of the medications side effects.

The ability to find faint inspiration even amidst the chaos of completely misaligned sensations.

That was the quality Lennok possessed.

Im truly fortunate to have entrusted her with my treatment

If Yakson could deduce the extent of Lennoks talent just from feeling his pulse once, what would other wizards think when they saw Lennok? His talent was exceedingly strong, sensitive, and perilous. This was why Lennok had to keep ascending without pausing for even a moment.

Now, with his body and mind weakened from the medications aftereffects, Lennok felt more exhilarated than ever before.

Buzz!!!

The body and mind were inherently connected. No matter how strong ones will, they couldnt escape inherent weaknesses, and no matter how robust the body, they couldnt fully express their intent with a fragile mind. The rule was that only when these two pillars merged seamlessly could their collective potential be realized.

However, in this moment, Lennok realized he could control his body solely with his mind.

At this profoundly powerful juncture when one pillar supplanted the other, Lennoks mind, liberated from the constraints of his body, soared into the vast skies of consciousness.

Thudddd!!!

Invisible shockwaves emanated from Lennoks body, reverberating through the laboratorys walls and floor. Despite the room being fortified with steel plates, security spells, and even soundproofing enchantments, Lennoks body began to levitate.

Whoosh!!

[]

While Davi observed the process with a slightly cautious expression, Lennok, deeply engrossed within, reflected on his past journey.

The intense exhilaration and the incredibly heightened consciousness he experienced were reminiscent of the awakening he had undergone during his confrontation with Eden.

Back then, Lennok had plunged into a profound state of awakening, triggered by witnessing and deciphering a unique magic spell, surpassing Level 5 and even replicating Edens distinctive magic, eventually reaching Level 7s [Thunder Seal] without direct contact.

Lennoks mind had often stretched beyond its limits through intense focus, but he hadnt encountered such an awakened state since then.

What he had deemed a fleeting opportunity unexpectedly returned at this unforeseen moment.

Ugh!!

Overwhelmed by the deluge of thoughts and inspirations flooding his mind, his body quivered slightly.

At this moment, he felt capable of attempting what had once been deemed impossible, such as recalling the formidable Level 7 magic, [Thunder Seal], which he couldnt access due to his unattainable level of sensory control.

However, Lennok resisted these temptations and resolutely redirected his focus inward. He couldnt guarantee when such an awakened state would manifest again.

Considering his past experiences, Lennoks current exhilaration seemed to be triggered by an entirely experience he had never encountered before.

Therefore, he had to swiftly accomplish what was most crucial for Lennok before this serendipitous opportunity vanished.

His primary task was to determine the mental image that should be etched into his Domain.

He understood this.

The memories that had once been hazy landscapes in his mind now unveiled their latent powers and the potential for effective combination to serve his purpose.

As he closed his eyes, fleeting yet intense memories from two lifetimes swirled through his heart.

It didnt matter if these memories werent inherently his. What mattered was discovering the mental landscape that would be most efficient and beneficial for Lennok.

In this moment, Lennok navigated the vast expanse of his mind, piecing together the necessary mental landscape.

While other sorcerers might merely latch onto the most enduring image in their minds, Lennok, in his unique way, was crafting the mental image required for his task.

This demonstrated that Lennok had fully evolved as a sorcerer. Since his birth, he had existed as a complete and independent entity.

He suppressed his weaknesses, maximized his strengths, and bore the necessary costs to propel himself forward.

The answer was within reach.

Paaa!!!

At that instant, a brilliant surge of mana erupted behind Lennok, who floated in the air with his eyes closed.

The intense radiance, potent enough to illuminate the dark laboratory, slowly revolved behind him.

The magical light, endlessly emanating, formed a colossal concentric circle without any irregularities, where the beginning merged seamlessly with the end.

[This is]

Davi, who had been crouched and wagging its tail, suddenly stood up. Just as abruptly, the concentric circles vanished.

With that, Lennok, who had been suspended in the air, descended gently to the rooms floor.

Davi remained motionless, patiently awaiting Lennoks awakening.

[Did he fall asleep?]

* * *

In the dimly lit office of a bar, shrouded in the darkness of night, Jenny sat alone.

She typed away on her laptop, having dismissed everyone else. Like Lennok, who was overseeing the conflict with the Cartel, her role was to manage and expand the business from within.

Moreover, many had become willing to cooperate with her side, unbeknownst to Lennok, especially after his dismantling of Cartels collaborative enterprisesan advantageous turn of events. Demonstrating the power and ruthlessness of the wizard who possessed at least half their strength had made it difficult for those who had remained neutral to coldly reject Jennys business proposals.

Of course, a legitimate business should not rely solely on fear or street reputation, but Jenny understood this underworld better than anyone.

Ultimately, what mattered was gaining the upper hand in the power struggle and wielding influence without restraint.

Controlling the distribution of materials in the underground was vital, especially since the Scavengers held sway over existing distribution networks.

If the notion that the Cartel could no longer protect them spread among these elements, Jennys business would become significantly easier.

Her thoughts raced, and her typing sped up accordingly.

Since the official network of the city government had extended its reach throughout Vulcan, accessing the megacitys underworld had unexpectedly become more accessible.

Those who had integrated themselves into the vast city government network had naturally established their own gathering places.

While the underworld expanded through channels accessed via the unofficial deep web, the city government turned a blind eye.

Others might naively assume that its merely because it directly benefits the city government, but Jenny had a deeper understanding.

She was well aware of how desperately the elderly men holding key positions in the city council clung to the remains of their lives.

Their reluctance to take action against the deep web and the underground network, their passive stance on intervening in the underworld, all stemmed from this desperation.

The Black Consumer Project.

It was the final masterpiece of the megacity, designed for those who defied the constraints of time and struggled against fate.

Now, she awaited only the last fragment of that once-proud project, which had crumbled into obscurity.

Click!

Jenny paused her typing and leaned back, her hand sweeping across her face.

Her jet-black hair flowed down like a cascading shadow.

This is preposterous

This city, drowning in unending corruption and indulgence, had once harbored a dream.

A dream of breaking free from predetermined destiny, escaping the shackles of time, and joining the great civilization shaped by magical engineering.

Who would have thought that all those aspirations and ideals would crumble with a single failure?

But the old men in the city council had undeniably changed after that failure.

Jenny didnt know what the project had revealed, but she was aware that they still clung to its remnants. Thats why she was eager to resolve the current situation promptly.

If the Cartels chairman, who had remained in hiding for decades, decided to make a move

The monsters from her era would begin to emerge, one by one.

And that would signify an unprecedented upheaval in Vulcans political landscape, which had remained quiet until now.

Gazing blankly at the ceiling, Jenny adjusted her position.

While Van was absent due to personal reasons, she had to accomplish as much as possible.

Expanding her business while confronting the Cartel exposed her to risks, but she was willing to take them, even if it meant relying on Dyke Corporation.

Missing the opportunity to enter the market would result in losing out to others.

She understood that it was better to secure a stake now, even at a loss, to maintain her position.

A year ago, with Vans assistance, Dyke Corporation had ventured into the underground arms trade, boasting substantial capital and manpower.

There were rumors that they had acquired vast expanses of abandoned factory sites in the 50th district and were operating factories at full capacity, which would greatly assist with labor-intensive tasks.

In exchange, Jenny had no choice but to concede some of her business shares to Panua, but their collaboration was invaluable.

Lennoks dismantling of their collaborative ventures was only the beginning.

As Jenny rapidly expanded by taking over the businesses Lennok had disrupted and claiming their market share, the Cartel began to exercise restraint, avoiding hasty retaliation.

It wasnt just Jenny acting alone; Dyke Corporation was also exerting pressure, which must have rattled them considerably.

As Lennok had predicted, this upheaval wouldnt be easily quelled, and more people would begin to notice the Cartels instability.

If one of the three heads of the underworld displayed signs of weakness, would people still adhere to the Cartels established order?

Lost in these thoughts, Jenny was engrossed in her typing when the office door swung open.

Hey, arent you asleep yet?

What do you want? I dont recall summoning you.

The person who entered the room was a formidable woman.

Her hair, extending beyond her shoulders, was not of flesh but comprised robotic components Mad Manson, a freelancer, now stood before her.
