Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 341



2 people per group (1)

“….”

Only after taking a quick look around did Rafferd close his mouth.

This was because he understood how ridiculous the scene before his eyes was.

There are dozens of magic users. Also professionally trained soldiers.

Despite the battle against such superhumans there are no traces of violent explosions or impacts left in this area.

Evidence that dozens of superhumans were killed as soon as the battle began.

Nevertheless is it really possible for there to be no loss in the magical energy flowing from that body?

A wizard who surpasses common sense. I heard stories from Lapis but I never thought it would be to this extent.

“Now that we’ve sorted out the distractions let’s finish talking.”

Lafferd cleared his throat and slowly changed the topic.

“Did you say you would tell me information about Kroken if you told me the secret about my images?”

“….”

“As you may know I have already deployed a microcosm once during the battle. “This is because according to the doctrine of the god I serve it is an essential process for reaching a certain level of doctrine.”

“I know.”

Lennok rested his chin and looked down at Lapard and answered.

“Perhaps in the microcosm itself the essence of the power you use is the form that you use immediately after deployment in a form that requires less activation time or magical power consumption.”

“…If you know that much I don’t have anything more to say. Should I show it properly one more time here?”

Rafferd asked.

After realizing that the soldiers of the Baraceda Liberation Front were dealt with much faster than expected his attitude became strangely cooperative.

Maybe it’s because they have the heads of dogs but even the way they organize their ranks resembles dogs.

Rather than express such thoughts outwardly Lennok shook his head.

“No it’s okay.”

Lennok nodded.

“Because that’s enough.”

At the same time as he said that something gray began to appear behind Lennok.

Woooo!!

A whitish spirit body that is completely different from the form of the tree giant that Rafferd summoned above his head.

The image of the spirit drawing a much sharper and more sensitive form than that. But undoubtedly its nature had a force similar to that used by Lafferd.

Rafford opened his mouth after seeing the image of the spirit floating above Lennok’s head.

“Oh no… How can you receive the blessings of the ancestors…”

“There is a certain level of expertise in necromancy itself. “I’ve seen something similar a few times.”

Lennok responded as he stood up.

It wasn’t wrong. There were warriors who were assisted by spiritual bodies in a similar way to Rafferd and there were also cases where Craig Gunn unintentionally dabbled in necromancy.

In addition Lennok who had recently studied with Aris and even tried his hand at summoning magic had become very familiar with the concept of summoning something.

The power used by the dog-headed giant was far from magic but closer to a ritual based on faith and mental power.

It was not difficult in itself to imitate the flow of power that Lafferd showed during the fight.

In fact for this purpose wasn’t he using Dabi’s power to quickly deal with the soldiers of the Liberation Front and build a high place to look out for Raplad?

At the moment of unfolding the microcosm all the violent changes in magical power are observed and observed to guess how it will be used.

This was not simply due to Lennok’s magic sensitivity but was an acquired result obtained by observing and remembering over a thousand types of magic flow during countless battles.

The totality of experience accumulated so far while dealing with countless strong players of the same class.

It’s been a while since something like this became possible but there was another reason why I only checked it again now.

“In the end the form and abilities of the spiritual body are a consciousness that depends on the original image and doctrine. “It was probably in a similar way that traces of Kroken were found on me right?”

Lennok muttered as he walked down the snow field.

“If the tracking ability is strong enough to follow the traces of the spirit rather than the physical traces I think it would be impossible unless the image itself is deeply intertwined with Kroken.”

“that….”

Lafferd at a loss for words stuttered and dropped his ears.

“There’s no need to explain. “Have you been aiming for this from the beginning?”

“It’s not like that but I was thinking that if your imagery is part of your powerful tracking ability I’d like to know the principle behind it.”

Lennok muttered as he glanced at his own spiritual body floating above his head.

“But this won’t mean much to me. “The spiritual body will not function properly unless the image and way of thinking are in line with the spiritual consciousness.”

“Hmm…. You have already proven that you have a talent for necromancy by the time you summoned the spirit form. Maybe I can even accept the doctrine of the god I believe in.”

“No it’s okay. Although it borrows the form of rituals and techniques it is ultimately a power created for those with physical abilities. “Unless I can project my image in the end the big help is-”

Kuuu!!

At that moment the spirit body floating above Lennok’s head suddenly began to tremble like crazy and change its shape here and there.

As Lennok and Lafferd looked up at almost the same time and made blank expressions golden ripples appeared on the spirit body and a huge amount of magical power scattered in all directions.

Paaaaa!!

A roar as if the world were splitting open like when a golden kaleidoscope unfolds in the magnetic field.

Immediately after Lennok who confirmed that the spiritual bodies were differentiating and increasing in number suddenly stood up with an unusually embarrassed expression.

“What is this…? “What on earth is this…”

While Rafferd was muttering with a dumbfounded expression Lennok who had grasped the situation moved in an instant.

Lennok who was facing his own spiritual body quickly made a hand sign in front of the vibrating figure.

What you want is the seal of summoning magic. At this point the necromantic ritual is overlaid with summoning magic and forcibly canceled.

Wow!!

Immediately after that the image of the spirit became blurred and disappeared and the magic power that was rushing over the snow field gradually lost its focus and began to disappear.

“Whoa….”

“….”

‘I almost got into big trouble.’

Lennok sighed after seeing Lafferd looking at him with a blank expression.

Considering the kaleidoscope shape that had just appeared on the surface of the spirit body it was not difficult to guess what had just happened.

As Lennok’s image was projected onto a spirit body created arbitrarily following Rafferd’s method the spirit body exceeded its limits and caused an overload.

If he had just foolishly let his hands go it wouldn’t be surprising if an explosion or abnormal phenomenon occurred that was beyond Lennok’s control.

Confirming that there is still room for research in the concept of the platform itself is good news but I had no intention of disclosing it in such a public place.

Lennok nodded at Rafford who still had trouble getting out of what had just happened.

“Let’s go back to the floating island. “I’ll tell you a story about Croken Asillus on the way.”

“Hmm? Joe okay… I understand.”

Only after hearing those words did Rafferd come to his senses and begin to walk after Lennok.

Strangely drooping ears and a droopy tail.

I don’t know why what just happened happened but I guess it’s because I realized in the process that Lennok’s power was more than I thought.

Lennok began to tell him information about Kroken deliberately trying to distract Rafford.

At first Lapard seemed unable to properly concentrate on what Lennok was saying but when he started talking about the crocodile giant’s whereabouts in earnest he quickly began to pay attention to it.

This may be because the obsession with Kroken and the feelings for revenge are so strong.

Perhaps because I had told Grisha to keep his distance just before coming down from the island the distance was a little further away than when the battle started.

While Lafferd was silent after hearing the situation about Croken Lennok was also lost in thought.

‘As expected this isn’t enough….’

After dealing with Lieutenant General Treffen who had reached level 8 Lennok began to seriously think about leaving the hierarchy.

The magician’s magnetic field that completes the hierarchy and determines the scene of the image.

A microcosm of a person with physical ability who has completed self-transformation and is charting the direction of his mind.

I thought that the two possibilities for differentiation through one inner world were completely different paths.

At that time Trepen reorganized his microcosm into a form that was almost like a magnetic realm.

Although he could not complete it due to lack of time and power it was a microcosm in which he projected his twisted image: It is true that the Iron God Passage was closer to the power of a magician than to the power of a person with physical abilities.

In that case wouldn’t being able to freely go back and forth between two paths with one image itself be proof of reaching level 8?

He was thinking that handling both powers given to the Aspect could be a clue to reaching level 8.

However trying to change this image into a microcosm when even Lennok’s own magnetic field cannot be completely handled right now is tantamount to suicide.

If your capabilities are not enough how about taking steps by imitating an already completed microcosm?

In order to resolve that question I went along with Lapard’s suggestions and observed his microcosm but I was unable to obtain as much income as I had expected.

‘After all it’s difficult to imitate someone else’s microcosm. The fundamental imagery is missing.’

The key to developing a magnetic field or microcosm is the original image located within the caster.

No matter how perfectly you can imitate and imitate the bursting flow of magic power it is nothing more than a shell.

The microcosm that projects Raphard’s intuition through his sense of smell is the essence of the time he has accumulated while living with sense organs that are superior to others since he was born.

Lennok could read and follow the flow of magic that occurred in the process but he could not bring it to his heart.

‘The worst result is that your ego becomes shaken when you force yourself to imitate an image. Just the kaleidoscope alone is already mind-boggling…’

In any case imitating the microcosm is just a way to rise to the top.

Lennok had no intention of changing the scene or direction of his thoughts.

The kaleidoscope of possibilities he drew with all his capabilities and talents had the potential to stand absolute superiority over any other image.

Just being able to picture the scene I had vaguely imagined in my mind is already nothing short of a miracle.

Here we had to refrain from being greedy in the wrong direction.

However if you think about how far the power and force of the monsters you will meet in the future will reach…

“Evan?”

Lennok who returned to the floating island lost in thought suddenly raised his head at the sound of Lapis’ voice.

She and the other observers were looking at him with their mouths closed.

A person with saint-level physical ability. What is contained in the gaze of the wizard who subdued the indomitable warrior who survived countless battlefields without even using his domain is not simple surprise.

The fear of looking at an incomprehensible being. Admiration for a strength that is completely different from what I thought.

Jealousy and wariness toward those with far superior skills than expected.

Feelings that can never become comfortable no matter how many times you experience them but are now extremely familiar.

Lennok guessed the reason for the emotions in those gazes to some extent and nodded.

‘I guess it’s because of Dabi.’

The Baraceda Liberation Front was using Gearside’s equipment and Lennok who had already obtained control of the network through Dabi was able to deal with them with almost vain ease.

However to other observers who were watching the whole story from above the floating island it would have appeared that Lennok had killed the soldiers instantly in a completely unknown way.

It was not strange to think of Lennok not as a simple wizard but as an incomprehensible monster.

“great job.”

Someone naturally placed a hand on Lennok’s shoulder and whispered.

“…Eveline.”

“Let’s go in and rest today. I got permission from Lapis. “It will be tomorrow when we select the people who will enter the labyrinth and begin to secure the entrance to the labyrinth.”

Lennok also skillfully relaxed his expression and smiled at those natural words.

“…okay. I was awake too long today. “It’s time to take a break.”

It’s been well over a day since I received Lapis’ summons and answered her call crossing thousands of kilometers.

As soon as he was summoned to the middle of the snowy field he rescued her dealt with the enemies went up to the floating island had a meeting and even took care of Rafferd’s opponent.

“I won’t participate in group formation because maintaining a floating island is too much for me. “I’ll see you tomorrow.”

“I hope to be on the same team as Evan.”

At the same time as Grisha and Seongseon disappeared after giving their own greetings Lennok and Evelyn also walked towards the mansion inside the floating island.

The other watchers made way for them as they had promised.

“What do you mean by team?”

“After the summons was over we decided to move in groups of two to secure the main entrance to the labyrinth.”

“Two people in a group?”

“In addition to you other observers have been summoned and our number has increased considerably. “I was focused on not being pushed out of the snowy field but now I will have to slowly enter the labyrinth.”

Evelyn said in a casual tone.

“We will decide the entrance using the map we obtained in advance form a team and enter the labyrinth. “Moving as a team of two is like insurance.”

“How are you going to do it? “There may be people whose inclinations or abilities do not match.”

“I suggested it to Lapis and found a suitable method. “It’s not uncommon for agents to need this type of organization.”

“What method?”

“That’s a secret. “I’ll let you know tomorrow.”

“….”

Evelyn said smiling brightly as she watched Lennok twitch his eyebrows.

“I plan to decide randomly for now. If you arbitrarily select team members there may be dissatisfaction with the chain of command. “The observers gathered here are all experienced veterans so it seems unlikely but…”

“Would you like to reduce any possible complaints? It’s a very cautious approach for something like that… Well I like it. “I should be able to drag at least one person along without difficulty.”

As Lennok said this he opened the door assigned to him.

If there’s a good thing about summoning the entire floating island is it that you don’t have to lie down in a snowy field with no one to rely on using the night sky as a blanket?

Of course this mansion wouldn’t be able to withstand the Ascendant’s magic for long but it was enough to last long until entering the labyrinth.

widely!

Lennok was about to close the door when he saw Evelyn naturally follow him into his room and tilted his head.

“…What’s going on?”

Crash.

Evelyn didn’t say anything and just locked the door.

The moment Lennok closed his mouth at that sudden action she walked over sat down on the bed in the corner and stared at him.

“Imitating Raepard’s microcosm was a very dangerous move. “You know right?”

“….”

Lennok forgot to answer for a moment and looked into her clear eyes.

She seemed embarrassed by the nickname of Green Jewel Archer but Lennok thought the nickname suited Evelyn well.

An indifferent expression and cold tone of voice. However I was able to understand her thoughts to some extent from the gaze that mixed emotions without hiding them.

“…I knew. “I thought I wouldn’t get caught.”

“You’re an archer. “My eyesight is pretty good compared to other people.”

Lennok also laughed at the fierce appearance of Evelyn who was smiling faintly and raising her eyes with both hands.

It was only after Evelyn checked Lennok’s expression that she nodded with a slightly relieved expression.

“That’s why I wanted to talk to you. “It seems like you’re thinking a lot.”

“….”

“I helped you with your combat training on the way to the volcanic area.”

She asked resting her chin on both hands.

“Do you remember what I said back then?”

“I remember. “I was worried about how far I had to cross the line to move up.”

Lennok nodded.

“It was hard to remember at the time but I can understand it now. Maybe being at the top means…”

“It might be a process of giving up something you shouldn’t give up.”

“….”

“The way to walk along the road is somewhat fixed but the way to get off the road is different.”

Evelyn’s green eyes glowed softly.

“Then in order to get off the path wouldn’t you have to act in a completely different way than you did before?”

By completing the seven stages of self-transformation that form the hierarchy of superhumans one attains divine status.

However although the results obtained from the process may differ depending on each person’s image the process of reaching that point is fixed to some extent.

Changes in the nature of magical power awakened at level 6 Gunwi. Basic areas learned in the latter half of military service.

The realm of awakening upon reaching the 7th level and the scene of the microcosm. And even the process of deciding on the image.

The trials and errors accumulated by countless pioneers in the history of this world vaguely depict the path to completing the hierarchy.

However the state of level 8 extreme is different.

It is a process of new transcendence beyond simply completing the hierarchy.

And the meaning of going beyond established rules is bound to apply differently to everyone.

The rules methods meanings and concepts are different.

However there are only tangible results as a result of reaching the top.

It was a completely different kind of vagueness than finding and completing one’s own image before reaching level 7.

A state where the method and path are not determined and the only result is that you have reached that point.

This is because the name of level 8 extreme ability is received in different ways by everyone who challenges it.

The process of reaching a result by following an undetermined path.

It is through that kind of awakening that you have reached a certain level and as a result you will realize the knack of interfering with space and time.

There was a reason why magicians who reached level 8 were called grand wizards.

If rising to the highest level is so vague how much more difficult and arduous must it be to reach ascension?

Just being qualified to challenge for ascension was enough to raise one to level 9 and be called a transcendent so it was difficult for Lennok to guess what that feat meant.

“What about you Evelyn?”

Lennok asked.

“At that time on the way to the volcanic area you were wondering what you had to throw away to go up.”

“….”

“Is it because I no longer have to worry about it anymore… that I don’t have to worry about it anymore?”

* * *

Early morning the next day.

Lapis gathered the observers who had rested for about 6 hours and opened her mouth.

“Everyone please pay attention.”

Everyone gathered here is a skilled person who is accustomed to fighting. They are the only ones who have been fighting together for almost a month.

For those people 6 hours is a relatively long maintenance time.

However even after such a sweet rest the faces of the observers remained faintly tense.

The reason why Lapis managed the condition of the viewers to this extent.

This is because everyone knew that once this group formation was completed they would enter straight into the deepest part of the snow field.

She lifted the black box she was carrying above her head so that everyone could see it.

“It contains thirty jewels each with its own color. “All you have to do is form groups randomly among those who drew the same color gem and then disband.”

Onlookers’ mouths slightly opened as they saw a fist-sized gem sticking out of her hand.

Replacing the tools used in group formation with jewels of that size? How much accumulated wealth does it take to make this possible?

If Lapis had intended to show off the status or wealth of the Blue Eye it was clear that it was an extremely effective performance.

As soon as Lapis finished speaking the observers began pulling out jewels one by one.

Colorful jewels poured out and people soon formed teams.

If you feel like it form a group but if not just decline and wait for your turn to end.

This is possible because everyone gathered here has the ability to move independently and also understands the reason for forming a team.

Although there was chaos in the meeting room earlier due to differences of opinion it only happened because the team possessed sufficient capabilities and arbitrary judgment.

Lapis did not bring in half-skilled people to inflate the size of the organization.

Rather she extended her hand only to those who knew how to think for themselves in any situation and who could agree to her will through their own will.

Lennok could vaguely read this fact even as he was conducting this simple lottery.

Even if you form a team in this crude way if each individual has outstanding capabilities you can go through a fairly plausible decision-making process.

‘Eveline….’

Looking at the long line at the back Lennok was lost in thought.

An unexpected possibility discovered in a spirit body that imitates Raphard’s spiritual consciousness. A conversation about the ultimate heights I had with Evelyn.

How far does her answer reach? Lennok was able to get some clues from yesterday’s questions and answers.

‘I never would have thought that was what I was thinking.’

Did I arrive at a different answer than the one I gave to Lennok on the journey to the volcanic area?

After hearing her words Lennoc couldn’t help but think back on the concept of supremacy that he had been thinking about.

Regardless there was something worth learning from her way of thinking after living as an agent in a huge city for a long time.

It would be nice if we were in the same group as her in this group formation in that we can have more conversations about that situation…

‘That won’t happen.’

Lapis is not stupid. There was no way she would arbitrarily put the two people who were the most powerful among her watchers in the same group.

Even if two people end up in the same group by chance they will eventually try to create the optimal group through their own agreement.

The only possibility that Lenno can think of is that he hopes to receive a favorable greeting from Lennok like Seong-seon or Gehrig.

The moment Lennok looked away while thinking that.

“Woohuhu.”

Evelyn glanced sideways at Lennok and smiled sinisterly.

The moment their eyes met she turned her head like lightning.

There was nothing I could do about the cold sweat running down my bright red neck.

“….”

“….”

What on earth are you thinking?

Lennok sighed and raised his gaze to the sky.
