Return of the 10th Circle Archmage

Chapter 19 10. The Beginning of Punishment

Parasite is a kind of black magic.

Back in the days of the Demos planet, the squadron’s Demi Lich used this magic as their main specialty.

And, its influence was terrifying.

It spread so fast that it was reminiscent of the European Black Death that was prevalent in the 14th century, but there was no way to stop it at first.

Like a pubic lice, it was so small and minute that, unless you looked closely, most people wouldn’t notice it.

Parasite was the magic that even awakened people who practiced magic were prone to suffer if they didn’t pay attention.

Parasite was recognized in earnest when nearly 500,000 people out of 7 million people on the continent were infected.

Parasites planted in their heads.

My family, my mom, my dad, my sister, my sister, my friends, my colleagues…

Parasite spread so widely that it was difficult to tell who was the enemy and who was the ally, staining the continent with blood.

Who could be prepared for my colleague, who had been fine until recently, suddenly stabs a knife from behind?

It was literally defenseless. More than a million people died in an instant.

By the time they started preparing, it was already too late, and nearly half of the people on the continent had died.

It’s been 50 years since I was taken to the planet Demos.

At that time, I also had a very difficult time killing the demilich spraying parasites because my power was boiling or rather low with the demon lords.

Dragons say ‘It’s okay if it’s not me’, and you never know when today’s comrades will become tomorrow’s enemies.

All the races living on the continent spent time drying their blood. In the end, if I hadn’t infiltrated Lauper, the stronghold of the Demon Kings, and smashed Demi Lich’s Life Force Vessel, then the continent would have been destroyed.

Anyway, I struggled until the very end because it was really dry, fucking, and dirty magic, but when it became mine, it was very comfortable.

I further developed the parasite that Demilich was studying and created a parasite magic that was close to the perfect form.

It’s called Over Induction Parasite. In general, parasites can be easily defended if you know in advance.

It only happens when the enemy doesn’t know about it, and once you’ve prepared for it, there’s a 99.9% chance that your magic will be cut.

because?

Parasites exert great power when they are dormant in the host’s head, and those exposed outside are easily burned to death by even a small fire.

Even the light of the sun doesn’t last long. And if you avoid the seat at all, you’ll be dumbfounded.

In the end, in the second half of the Parasite Rebellion, the lichs either cast magic for sleep or gave up on the parasite magic.

It was for this reason that the demon army did not use parasite again after the uprising was over.

Because there is a law of destruction, it is more inefficient to use it, and a lot of mana is wasted.

Anyway, I picked up the parasites they threw away, and developed it even better. Almost no weaknesses.

In the second half, even several demon lords were caught in my parasite, and there were several who became almost half-slave. Balrogs, dragons, trolls, and dark elves alike, I have possessed numerous limbs through the over-induction parasite.

They had no choice but to die if I died, and they became the ones who had no choice but to live if I told them to live.

In any case, a person who is subjected to a parasite feels a really eerie feeling. A huge amount of stress that arises when your body doesn’t move as you please, little by little when it’s not really aware of it, but when it’s really important.

Besides, when your body is completely out of control at some point, like you got ransomware, and you get ruthless by the parasite.

That’s when you feel a great shock and fear.

The black magic that I just cast on Park Tae-jin was the over-induction parasite.

‘Now we can go up to the hospital room, pack up, and go home.’

All necessary documents have been removed. As a father who had no actual expenses other than death insurance, he did not have to take out unnecessary documents for insurance money.

I just snapped off what I needed. I received the first medical record, medical certificate, and MRI, CT, X-RAY, etc. taken on CD.

I unwrapped the wide-area magic of the treatment room where Park Tae-jin sees, and made him see the doctor again as usual.

Although he was sweating profusely, he continued to work hard as usual as his host told him.

As I left the treatment room, I patted him on the shoulder and said to him that we will see each other more often so that we don’t blush.

*”Uhm…”

Lee Kang-soo had fallen asleep after his children came and went.

Well.

‘Your body seems to have changed a lot from usual?’

I didn’t wake up in the middle because of the pain, and I slept deeply for 2 hours after a long time. It really was a sweet nap after a few years.

Before that, I had to work with reduced sleep for a living, and after I was diagnosed with cancer after doing so, I couldn’t sleep even a day because of the pain.

He always wakes up in his sleep, moaning in pain in the middle.

I lived my life every day thinking, ‘When will I die, I wish I could die after seeing my son’s face just once…’.

As the head of the family, he seemed to have made it difficult for his family to fail properly, so he was always sorry for his family.

It felt like it was all because of him that his son disappeared. He said that if he had made a lot of money, he wouldn’t have had a sudden disappearance of his son…

However.

‘I’ll have to get tested again, but my body suddenly feels like it was when I was young in my twenties.’

Lee Kang-su touched his lower abdomen, which was always in pain, and stuttered his arm muscles. He had lost all his muscles from lying down, but when he started exercising again, he seemed to be able to regain the strength he had before.

No, I was more energetic than when I was in my 20s.

‘It’s strange, it’s strange…’

It was a change that occurred after I suddenly fell asleep while having a serious conversation with my son before.

*

squeaky.

I carefully opened the door to room 904 and entered. When I left earlier, my father was sleeping, so I was careful not to wake him up.

“Hey, handsome son is here.”

A person in the hospital room I had never seen before greeted me. It was a beautiful woman in her 50s with long straight hair and wavy hair.

In her white blouse over her top, her tight jeans made her look like her younger sister.

“Hello.”

“Yes, bachelor. I ate well the fruit you brought me earlier.”

“I should have taken care of it earlier, but I’m a little late.”

“no. If you live a busy life, you may not be able to hear it often. By the way, are you going to be discharged today?”

Her aunt tilted her head with her puzzled look. She knew her father had terminal cancer. So, she looked bewildered when she said that she was suddenly discharged from the hospital.

“Yes, that’s it.”

“Can the doctor be discharged?”

Her aunt seemed to know that her father was hopeless and sent her out of the hospital. Her worry and anguish flashed from her face.

I smiled and corrected her thoughts.

“The doctor was very quack. She didn’t even know she was getting better, and she kept her in the hospital. Did you get pressure from above to pay hospital bills? Anyway, my father was well.”

“really?”

“Yes.”

“Oh my. terminal cancer is cured It’s a miracle. Congratulations, Bachelor.”

“thank you.”

bum bum.

My father, who had overheard our conversation from afar, approached with a puzzled expression.

“Are all my ailments really cured?”

“If you don’t know what I’m saying, go to Seoul National University Hospital one last time and check it out.”

“Well…”

Dad still couldn’t believe it, he kept stroking his stomach.

“Park Tae-jin, that quack, made a mistake. It’s not terminal cancer, it’s an early stage, so you’re all better now.”

“okay?”

Although his father harmed him, he could not hide his eyes with joy on his face.

*

“Ugh…”

Park Tae-jin got up from his seat, shaking his body at the sudden call from Lee Jun-hyeok.

“Teacher. Where are you going other than medical treatment?”

With the patient in front of her, the doctor, who was explaining things, abruptly got up and kicked the door out, and nurse Kim shouted.

“Come on, I’ll go out for a second.”

“Who is this patient?”

“He hasn’t changed much from last week, so let him prescribe the same as last week.”

Then, the seated patient became furious.

“You, what are you? Crazy? Where are you going other than getting medical treatment?”

He was in his late thirties and was chubby and tight. At first glance, he had an impression like a gangster.

“Sorry Sorry. Sorry. But I can’t.”

Park Tae-jin quickly tied his robe and ran hard down the hallway.

“Hey! you there!”

The poor-tempered patient shouted, but to no avail.

*

“father. He will be responsible for calculating the hospital bills.”

“Master Park Tae-jin?”

“Oh, yes. father. Hello.”

Park Tae-jin was suddenly dragged to the second floor without seeing the doctor at my order. We stood at the reception desk on the second floor and proceeded to pay the medical bill.

“father. In the meantime, I will pay for all the medical treatment, hospitalization, and surgery costs.”

At Park Tae-jin’s words, his father put on a puzzled expression.

So I intervened.

“He is responsible for his misdiagnosis and for causing a medical accident due to the wrong operation. Is that right, Park Tae-jin?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“···········?”

The female employee who was sitting in the storage room opened her mouth to the conversation between me and Park Tae-jin. Her hair, which had been parted with the perilla leaves, came down slowly.

“Is the teacher really counting?”

“Oh, because it is. Quickly pay with this card.”

“···Yes.”

With an absurd expression on her face, the female employee accepted her card. He didn’t like Park Tae-jin’s growling at himself without even making a sound to her father-in-law next to her.

Besides, a medical accident?

She is probably born hairy and this is the first sight in her life. Do doctors in Korea admit their negligence first?

In the meantime, it was impossible on the hospital side, and it shouldn’t be happening.

“Here, the calculation is over.”

“after······.”

Park Tae-jin received a receipt for her hospital bills stamped with 133.86 million won, and she looked down blankly. His eyes were already opened like a madman.

“I look forward to the remaining damages. Park Tae-jin.”

“···Yes.”At my words, Tae-Jin Park shook his body. It reminded me of a wildcat soaked in fear.

*

“Ahhhhhh!”

Park Tae-jin’s forehead was hot.

When transferring his rich man, Lee Jun-hyeok ordered his father to do the three-box gugo durye (三跪九叩頭禮).

During the Byeongja Horan (丙子胡亂), King Injo of Joseon bowed his knees 3 times and bowed his head 9 times to apologize to the Qing emperor Songdeokje (崇德帝) in the Three Wars.

Park Tae-joon also slammed his forehead on the floor in front of everyone in the hospital lobby as an apology.

So, after bowing nine times, until their foreheads burst, the rich man went home.

After releasing Lee Kang-soo’s father and son, Park Tae-jin frantically ran to the pharmacy.

A pharmacy less than 200m away felt like 2km today. He froze and ran hard, opening the pharmacy door.

“Antiparasite!!!!!”

“Yes!?”

The pharmacist looked at Park Tae-jin, who appeared in a doctor’s gown, and widened his eyes. He was a pharmacist in his mid 60s. He wore gold-plated iron-rimmed glasses with a round face like a full moon.

“Insect repellent, give me quickly!”

“Master Park. Why are you suddenly looking for an insect repellent?”

“Quickly!!!!!!”

The pharmacist had a pharmacy close to Etro Hospital. So I found out that that person was Doctor Park Tae-jin from Etro Hospital.

By the way, why is that yangban, who doesn’t usually buy, suddenly looking for an insect repellent with such a miserable expression?

Did you swallow an insect while eating?

“Here you are.”

scum!

Park Tae-jin snatched the insect repellent like a kite and ran out of the entrance.

“Look! count?”

“·················ogue.”

There was no answer. Park Tae-jin had already left the pharmacy.

“I really want you, you bastard.”

The pharmacist frowned, thinking he had stepped on the poop.

“You drop a dog egg because you ate a bug, drop a dog egg.”

The pharmacist said that Park Tae-jin was a bit shaky and bit his tongue. He said that he ate only one insect, and that he acted like a dying person.

*

bang!

Park Tae-jin ran to the bathroom on the first floor of the Etro Hospital lobby and locked the toilet door.

come and go!

Then, he peeled the anthelmintic shell and shoved it into his mouth as soon as he could.

Well.

“Ouch. Wow!”

Get food.

As soon as he poured all the repellents into his mouth, he spit them all out with excruciating pain.

“Ahhhhhh!”

And then, the harsh punishment began.

Park Tae-jin tasted the hell itself, with the sensation of his head exploding and the cells burning down one by one. In retaliation from a parasite that had lurked in his brain, he completely fainted.

iron poop.

Park Tae-jin, who had completely lost his resistance, threw up everything he ate and fell on the floor of the bathroom.
