Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 20
by Jessie@AFNCC
Although Lennok lacked knowledge about this world, he knew what ascendant meant by reading numerous magic textbooks.
An archmage who is treated as a strategic weapon and is said to cause tension across the continent with just one move.
This is because ascendants refer to transcendents who go beyond the great wizards and truly challenge their limits.
Although it does not move easily as it imposes strong restrictions on itself in order to overcome its limitations it is impossible to even discuss the level itself on the same level.
Great pioneers whose achievements go down in history.
The majestic pillars that support this precarious world centered around cities.
Among them ‘Cheon Gyeon’ is one of the particularly special and respected pioneers.
Philenom’s lighthouse keeper Madrea Palsier ‘Heavenly Sight’.
A great transcendental who has monitored the dangers of the open sea as a lighthouse keeper for over hundreds of years and a level 9 ascendant of which there are less than ten left in this era.
He devoted his long life to looking out thousands of kilometers from his seat watching the past and future and observing disasters that freely cross timelines.
The most moderate responsible and respected Ascendant.
While performing her duties as a lighthouse keeper she never interfered in the secular world but she expressed her intention to participate in the negotiation process between Balkan and Philenom.
Even as part of the Dominion’s mission.
What this means is simple. The Ascendant sided with the Dominion.
There was no need to say anything more than that.
As soon as Lennok heard the story he apologized to Jordan and immediately left the bar.
If not now there may be another opportunity to visually confirm the existence of an ascendant.
In his hand was a small scope given to him by Jordan. Jordan had already roughly guessed what he was going to do.
Immediately catch a taxi nearby and head to the 20th district.
The knight who was lounging around without a customer welcomed him with a smile. The radio in the taxi was also broadcasting the visit of the Ascendant live.
The taxi was stopped at the edge of District 19 approximately dozens of kilometers away from the central square located in District 5.
Whoa!!
Use magic to levitate your body in the air and land on the roof of any nearby building.
Floating magic is not very fast but it consumes a lot of magic power so it is very inefficient but now is not the time to worry about that.
Lennoc who was trying to climb up to the rooftop of a building that had a narrow view of the central plaza frowned when he sensed about two people waiting on the rooftop of the building.
‘…..soldier.’

There is a sniper who hangs a long sniper rifle on the edge of a building and stares unwaveringly into the distance and there is a communication soldier who constantly exchanges secret slogans while holding a communicator.
Looking at the emblem on their chest they appear to be special forces under the direct control of the city government. Similar power sources are probably deployed on the rooftops of buildings above a certain altitude.
These troops are deployed to places where it is impossible to even guess whether sniping is possible given the distance.
It was a sight that clearly revealed how much attention was paid to the Ascendant’s visit in the Balkans.
Here the only thing that makes them faint or reveals themselves is a handshake.
Because of mana addiction I cannot cast invisible magic on my body but it is not difficult to fool their eyes.
I completely erased the presence with noise magic and hit the two people with a simple hallucination magic that prevented them from concentrating on their surroundings.
I felt like the goggles I was wearing were specially protected but I felt a certain amount of magical power being pushed away but I ignored it and forced my way through.
It’s shaky…!!
To Lennok who was able to successfully interfere with magic even against the same wizard the barrier of this equipment felt like a piece of paper.
Lennok who leisurely passed by the two people who had begun to focus entirely on what was in front of him sat down on the edge of the rooftop and put the scope he had received from Jordon to the corner of one eye.
Originally it seemed like it could only be used as a sniper rifle used by the soldier next to me but it can’t be helped if you want to see long distances.
Since mana addiction is difficult to strengthen eyesight I have no choice but to use this method.
Still I was able to see the central square at a glance as if the scope that Zordon had given me was working well.
Tens of thousands of people are filling the vast central square located in District 5.
It was my first time seeing such a large crowd since I came to this world.
People from all walks of life are gathered together looking in one direction at the same time.
Admiration envy respect fear excitement….. Even though the direction is different no one is left behind in earnestness.
Lennok also turned the scope ever so slightly twisting it in the direction their eyes were pointing.
Countless police forces soldiers and agents in suits are as large as the gathered crowd forming a wide road and waiting for someone.
Someone’s voice came through the communicator who still had not noticed Lennok’s presence.
[Arrives in 30 seconds. Everyone stay alert and wait!!]
[He’s coming in..!!]
A moment passes and a short procession of about 30 people appears.
The delegation of the Philenom Autonomous Territory has finally arrived at the Balkan Central Square.
All of them had stiff tired expressions.
The face is full of wariness and the eyes looking in all directions are full of hostility.
It was clear at a glance that the relationship between the autonomous territory and the megacity was not good.
And at the center of the procession was a small old man with a hunched back and white hair.
A person with a small hairpin attached to his neatly combed hair and wearing flowing clothes walks slowly while tapping the ground with a cane in his hand.
Madrea Falseer the Heavenly Dog was entering the square.
Cheongyeon
On the outside the crowd gathered at the place tilts their heads at the seemingly ordinary appearance without any sense of dignity pressure or magic but soon they start cheering.
In any case they are truly welcoming the Ascendant who has visited Balkan for the first time in nearly 100 years.
“……”
And Lennok who was looking at Ascendant Madrea through the scope quietly lowered his arm.
Cold sweat was dripping from my forehead.

I was overwhelmed.
“crazy….”
The moment he recognized her presence with his naked eyes Lennok was unable to come to his senses due to a shock he had never felt before.
It was a cataclysm that was no different from the moment when Lennok first awakened his magical powers at the factory.
As soon as I recognize the Ascendant’s existence I feel the powerful magical power emanating from her body spreading throughout the city.
A distant feeling that can be felt and recognized with the skin but cannot be realized with the sane mind.
Because Lennok’s sensitivity was so outstanding and because he was talented enough to recognize the gap he was able to realize it with his head.
‘This… is beyond what I expected.’
I could understand all the reasons why the Balkan city government had fallen flat with such a rigid attitude.
That thing is no longer worthy of being called a living thing.
Above all there was no way a transcendental like him would not have noticed Lennok’s gaze from this distance.
I thought it would be okay because I was rumored to be a very moderate Ascendant but it wasn’t easy to keep my composure in front of a monster that size.
Considering her eyes could see thousands of kilometers away I couldn’t run away anyway but I had better hide myself now.
[Can there be an effect without a cause?]
What made Lennok who had jumped up from his seat and raised his magic power sit down was a soft voice in his ear.
[In a world full of order we have been trying to answer this question for a very long time.]
“……”
I raised the scope again with trembling hands.
Madrea Falseier seen through a powerful telephoto lens.
He was making eye contact with Lennok very precisely.
[Your existence is the answer to that question itself.]
The delegation seemed embarrassed when they saw Madrea suddenly stop walking but they did not stop her.
Just waiting for her to start walking again.
[That’s fun.]
The one-sided transmission continues in breathtaking silence.
[If others could see the same thing as me they would do whatever it takes to have you.]
Madrea slowly looked away.
As soon as she started walking again the delegation moved again.
The voice continued to be heard without interruption.
[But now I know that all that struggle was meaningless.]
The ascendant walks through the central plaza and into the city hall of the city government.
That image is disappearing little by little.
[Be careful of Alkaid.]
“……ha!!”
Lennoc couldn’t hold his breath and immediately jumped down from the building.
Hwiee!!
Lennok who had landed safely after floating his body using floating magic was breathing heavily and collapsed on the sidewalk block.
I take out the tobacco with trembling hands.
Meanwhile Lennog steadily headed to the nearby smoking area lit the fire and inhaled the smoke deeply.
“Whoa…..”
Even if I inhale the smoke of the medicine my trembling heart does not calm down easily.
The encounter with the true transcendent was truly a shock that shook the world.
However despite being overwhelmed by the status of an ascendant Lennok was confident instead of being intimidated and despairing.
That that is the path he should take towards his goal.
That reaching the end of ascension with this dangerous and precarious talent could be the true answer to his concerns.
The reason he opened his eyes in this world.
The fundamental answer that goes beyond earning a day’s living and surviving a day was right there.
For a man who believed in his own talent more than Lennok himself it was closer to a strong conviction than anything else.
“……”
With the appearance of Madrea Palsier the meeting that had been prepared for so long ended in an instant.
The city government council agreed to all the conditions proposed by the Dominion mission without any compensation.
From the moment the ascendant broke his oath and intervened in the world it was already over.
The delegation rejected all considerations from the city government and immediately left the metropolis.
It’s as if he doesn’t want to stay in this city for even a single moment.
Three days later.
There was news that Madrea Falseer the Heavenly Dog failed to ascend to heaven.
A pioneer who devoted himself to humanity for over hundreds of years has returned to mortality.
