Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 342
by Jessie@AFNCC
2 people per group (2)
The group formation proceeded quickly.
“I wish we could be on the same team.”
While Lennok returned with a gem Seong-seon who was waiting for his turn in line spoke.
“I am very interested in what is going on in the depths of the labyrinth. “If we’re together with Evan maybe we can reach the end.”
“I think you trust me too much.”
Lennok responded with a bitter smile.
“I also lack information about the labyrinth. “Maybe we won’t be of much help to each other.”
“In that sense I would be better off.”
Another female observer standing nearby spoke in a provocative tone.
“I would be more useful than that Changsha. Let’s do our best even if we end up in the same group. “I’ll tell you in advance.”
Myeong-seon whose expression changed to a slightly annoyed expression turned his gaze.
“…On what basis are you saying that?”
“I’m from Treasure Hunter.”
She grinned and shook the rope she was holding in her hand.
“Before I came here I was mainly exploring the ruins of the Guido Church.”
“It’s a religious site…”
“Oh are you interested in historical sites? There are many well-known ancient ruins in the North Continent. “I am willing to take you with me later after the operation is over.”
When Lennok seemed to be interested he couldn’t be outdone and started telling various stories.
“In my case I was mainly competing with the Arashak Ruins Exploration Team but their leader Irina Fesfield was a pretty good explorer so we had a lot of trouble.”
“….”
As Lennok closed his mouth the observer tilted his head.
“what’s the matter? “Do you know Irina by any chance?”
“No rather than an acquaintance….”
How could she possibly tell her that her prized treasure was now in Lennok’s coat?
As Lennok trailed off the observer tilted his gaze and continued speaking.

“I was wondering if you knew where Irina went. “He was intensively exploring the church’s historic sites and was achieving successive results but one day he suddenly disappeared.”
“hmm….”
It’s probably buried under the ground in the garden of the villa in the Balkan 20th Division area by now.
While Lennok with a bitter smile was stroking the Archangel’s pity inside the court the observer sighed.
“Anyway our exploration team joined the excavation of the ruins that the Arashak exploration team was in charge of… and we got a vague idea of what the church was doing there.”
The observer smiled bitterly as he said that.
“I felt a bit skeptical about what I was doing at that time. “I roughly understood what secrets high-ranking superhumans were hiding.”
“….”
Perhaps she witnessed human experimentation or similar horrors at the church’s historic site.
Irina Fesfield had already recognized the other side of the church and even used the magic sword that was its relic but it seems to have come as quite a shock to this observer.
“Well I was wondering if there was any way and it ended up here. Actually I’m still not sure if this place can give me the answer I want…”
She shrugged her shoulders and finished speaking.
“If talented people like you are with us it won’t be a waste of time. “I will do my best.”
“I see.”
“Even if we don’t necessarily end up in the same group I think we can gain more strength if we move together right? I know a lot about these labyrinths so this could be helpful. Let’s reach the end of the labyrinth together and see Jindun’s face.”
He even has the speaking skills to subtly encourage Lennok and encourage the team.
The skill of the explorer who had survived for a long time by rolling around in the ruins was quite high.
Myeongseong who was listening to the explorer’s story right next to him nodded without thinking and was surprised.
But instead of answering those words Lennok smiled faintly and turned his gaze towards the front.
“I’m sorry but that’s going to be difficult. “I feel like the team has just been decided.”
“what?”
The explorer inadvertently turned his head at those words and opened his mouth slightly.
A calm-looking woman with black hair and green eyes.
Evelyn was smiling triumphantly while holding a jewel of the same color as Lennok.
“Hehe.”
“…”
The appearance of an unusually innocent smile. It was exactly the same as the face that was smiling sinisterly at Lennok earlier.
Only then did Lennok realize why she had been glancing at him all along and he chuckled.
Considering that Evelyn was the one who suggested the jewel drawing to Lapis there is probably only one correct answer.
In order to be in the same group as Lennok Evelyn had secretly worked on jewels.
Lapis who was standing behind him tilted her head.
“Huh? Obviously measures were taken to ensure balance…”
No matter how arbitrarily the groups are formed shouldn’t there be an excessively large gap in skill between group members or the gathering of watchers with weak combat skills to be prevented in advance?
So the position of the jewel was adjusted to vary depending on the magic power exceeding a certain standard but Evelyn bypassed those precautions and pulled out the same jewel as Lennok.
“Eveline. if….”
“fizzle.”
Evelyn smiling brightly stood with her back to the other observers and placed her finger on her lips.

“Please keep it a secret.”
“…”
“Instead I will definitely make this a success.”
“Oh I understand. secret….”
Evelyn took her gaze away from Lapis who nodded with a slightly nervous expression and waved her hand at Lennok.
Originally I had no intention of going this far but after hearing about what happened with the National Guard from Lennok I changed my mind.
“I can’t stay still….”
Did you say he was Aris Richellen a professor at Labatenon University?
She was familiar with the name of the young genius who shook the Sinclair Tower and academia.
Originally she planned to take some time and slowly narrow the distance but as the situation changed her stance was bound to change a little more.
Evelyn’s green eyes turned sharp as she looked at Lennok.
Grisha took a step back and looked at the scene with amusement then looked at Lapis and said.
“You shouldn’t be like that.”
“…Yes yes?”
Lapis just tilted her head with a puzzled expression.
* * *
After organizing approximately 10 groups through their own compromises and agreements Cheong’s eyes immediately began to move toward the labyrinth.
Grisha and Lapis stay behind to maintain the floating island. And it is a force that leaves only the minimum number of people to protect the two people.
2 people per group. The level and ability vary widely but the group formation is at least somewhat acceptable to those watching.
As we work for the organization we will need to cooperate to some extent with other groups but the basic goal is to form a team that can handle any situation.
The goal was to ensure that the observers returned alive with as much energy as possible and safely before entering the labyrinth.
[Considering the speed at which the Ascendant’s magic spread throughout the snowfield is fading now is the right time to enter the inside of the canyon.]
The voice of Lapis who has made the floating island her headquarters resonates in everyone’s ears.
Basically the Ascendant’s snowy area where even proper communication does not work.
Even with the power of Lapis the lighthouse keeper all he can do is send one-way communication to each watcher. But that was enough.
Doo doo doo doo!!!
Dozens of blurry remnants begin to run through the snowfield at incredible speeds and dig into the snowfield.
A forced march that far exceeds the forward speed of most off-road vehicles. However among the observers gathered here there was no one who could not keep up with the speed.
Even Lennok was running along with the watchers without difficulty the snow slipping under his feet.
[The remaining distance to the Grand Canyon located in the deepest part of the snowfield is approximately 5km. At this rate it won’t be long before…]
[The Hanghasa Labyrinth will begin to appear ahead.]
Paaaa!!
With Lapis’ words the snowstorm blowing in from all directions clears and a dry wind begins to blow through it.
Between the cracking snowstorms. A huge canyon appeared below the wide open field of view.
A crack so magnificent that it is hard to believe it is a trace of tectonic shift. However there is only one thing that catches everyone’s attention to the extent that one can’t even think of the natural scenery that has been there for thousands of years.
“I see.”
“This can’t be right….”
“That was created by one person?”
Exclamations of exclamation echoed here and there.
But the view down the canyon was so unreal that even Lennok could understand the reactions of those watching.
A dazzling tetrahedron reflecting pure white light.
A pyramid-shaped structure so huge that it was impossible to guess the end filled the bottom of the canyon and was soaring high into the sky.
Ascended Jin Dun’s Hanghasamigung (恒河沙迷宮) is not simply a word that represents something conceptual that does not exist in form.
It is a physical alien world itself that exists in reality beyond the stage of simply distinguishing and defining it with concepts or words.
The result of building up the concept of dividing boundaries to the limit and turning it into something tangible was the existence of the labyrinth seen right in front of you.
Near the vast expanse of the labyrinth hundreds or thousands of superhumans were engaged in a fierce battle.
The faces of other observers who quickly looked down the canyon naturally frowned.
“Damn bad luck getting a good seat.”
“We’ll have to settle down before the labyrinth opens. “It’s a big task to even sneak into that battlefield.”
“It doesn’t matter anyway.”
Lafferd who was holding a serrated greatsword growled lowly.
“Anyway in the process of entering the labyrinth we are all just competitors. “It wouldn’t matter even if I killed him right here.”
“Hey Mr. Raphard… if you could calm down a little…”
The complexion of the observer following him in the same group had already turned pale.
The vampire following behind spoke in a drowsy tone.
“If you want to go and crash do whatever you want. “Isn’t that why we divided the teams like this?”
Seong-myeong who was next to her tried to say something but quickly closed his mouth.
“Lapis gave us the authority to make arbitrary decisions. “It doesn’t matter how you get out until the door to the labyrinth opens.”
The new form of the vampire quickly escaped from the group of watchers and disappeared.
“I watch the situation from outside. Everyone try your best.”
“….”
Myeonseong who was in the same group as her disappears after the vampire sweating profusely.
Other observers also exchanged opinions with their respective team members and began to move separately.
“First we rush inside. “We need to find out the personal information of those ahead of us and gather information without risk.”
“I will share information as soon as I have time.”
“No matter what I should still look around the labyrinth. “There may be room for intrusion from places other than the designated entrance.”
“We will patrol around the canyon and look for those who are hiding. “There are probably people like that woman who are watching the situation while waiting for the labyrinth to open.”
“It would be better to identify dangerous forces in advance and ensure that your movement lines do not overlap with them. Shall we go?”
“Let’s see if there is a secret passage nearby. “If you find a hidden room please contact me.”
Half enters the battlefield while the other half is divided into waiting at the scene and patrolling nearby.
Since the goal of entering the labyrinth is the same anyway not many people are willing to sit still and wait.
The other observers scattered and disappeared and the remaining Lennok and Evelyn quietly looked at each other.
“What do you want to do?”
Evelyn with her hands on her waist nodded.
“There are many choices. Actually it doesn’t matter what the two of us do.”
“That’s right…”
I think about this every time I work with Evelyn but even if the team members are so talented I can’t help but worry a lot.
The leader of agents. She known as the great city’s archer was as versatile as her advanced archery skills.
How can we use talented people who do their part in close range as well as mid-range combat as efficiently as possible?
It’s clear that it’s a difficult problem but even so the years are meaningless compared to when the only person you could trust was Lennok whenever you worked.
If you think about it it was definitely a trouble that was not good for luck.
“You’re not planning on going right into the bottom of that canyon are you?”
Evelyn asked while looking at Lennok.
Lennok turned his head at those words.
“Do you have any other plans in mind?”
Given the circumstances it seems clear that she did it because she wanted to be in the same group as Lennok.
If Evelyn was so excited that she couldn’t hide her sinister expression during the process wouldn’t Evelyn also have been thinking about a plan to carry out together with Lennok?
Evelyn who was hesitant looked up at Lennok from the corner of her eye and said.
“I guess it would be better if we wait outside and go in when the entrance opens.”
“….”
“It’s not difficult for the two of us to go inside at any time.”
Clearly the fact that she is the first to reveal her preference in such a worrying moment proves that she is an excellent team member.
After listening to her words Lennok also remembered something and made a decision right away.
“There’s no need to go in now. “It would be a good idea to establish a base a little further away from the canyon.”
“Is that so?”
“However since other watchers entered the battlefield first it would be good for us to help out as well.”
Lennok grinned looking back at Evelyn whose voice slightly rose.
“The way we do it best and the way the other person will be most annoyed.”
