Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 349



Hanghasa Labyrinth (3)

Instead of paying attention to Jaun’s reaction Lennok quietly fell into thought.

‘What should I do….’

We know that Jaun gained unknown talent and rapidly increased his own achievements.

If you think about the rumors that Lapis told you he probably broke through his limitations through expedient means by giving up his body to a spirit or thought form that was much more accomplished than him.

Although it was already confirmed in the previous battle it seems clear that he gained considerable power in the process.

Regardless of Jaun’s knowledge or ability if you watch him closely wouldn’t you be able to determine which collaborator he gave his body to?

However even though Lennok felt his curiosity growing about Zaun’s secret he ultimately decided to refuse.

‘There is Evelyn. There is no need to try to gain additional benefits by incurring hostility.’

If he were alone it would be okay to wage psychological warfare by guessing when this crazy guy would betray him but Evelyn was different.

Although she left the decision to Lennok given Evelyn’s nature she would not like the idea of ​​joining hands with a wanted criminal like Jaun.

I didn’t think the situation was so urgent that I had to join hands with Jaune and ignore her preferences.

Once you have made your way through the labyrinth and come across a wall that the two of you cannot solve it is not too late to think about it.

The moment when Lennok thought so and was about to reply to reject Jaun’s offer.

A powerful wave of magic burst out from the hallway Jaun passed through and swept everywhere.

Kwaaaa!!!

A torrent of magical power enveloped the cavity and rushed towards the three people in an instant.

If you are a moderate magic user it would not be strange for your entire body to be crushed and explode at once.

The force is too powerful to recognize that the owner of this magical power is a person of considerable skill.

Jaune frowned faintly amidst the rushing torrent.

“What the fuck… you’re such a persistent bastard. “I thought you were about to give up but you were still chasing me?”

“If you are the person who followed us you will hear the answer later.”

After hearing those words Lennok instantly turned his head and answered.

Jaune frowned.

“Is this what I’m going to look at?”

“If you don’t intend to fight here you should also run away to avoid the approaching master of magic right?”

Lennok chuckled.

“You didn’t mention that you made enemies in the labyrinth. So I think it would be okay for us to think about their proposal a little more.”

“….”

Jaune narrowed his eyes at those words and stared at Lennok.

“He was a lot smarter than I thought. “Where did you come from and what did you do?”

“Do you have time to wonder about that right now?”

Even at this moment a fierce force of magic is rapidly approaching from the other side of the crossroads.

If Lennok and Evelyn join hands and try to kill Jaun the situation will be even more troublesome than it is now.

Jaune who was staring at Lennok with a disapproving expression reluctantly nodded.

“good. “Then let’s talk again later.”

Jaune stood in front of another crossroads without any regrets and lifted up the jewel he was holding in his hand.

At the same time as a dazzling flash of light was emitted as if a jewel were burning his new form disappeared from the spot.

As if they had made a promise immediately after that someone ran out from where Jaune had disappeared.

thud!!

“Damn it did I miss it!!”

“….”

“This was my chance to catch and kill that monster…!!”

The image of a man striking the ground with a sorrowful expression.

His entire body is adorned with dazzling silver armor and his demeanor is that of a knight.

The faces of more than a dozen knights who appeared one after another following such a man. Lennok was later able to realize who they were.

A melee that lasted for three days near the labyrinth. These are the people who did not get involved in the fight and just watched the situation unfold from the outskirts of the canyon.

Since each individual was of considerable skill and their organizational skills seemed formidable Lennok and Evelyn also just watched quietly never knowing that they were chasing Jaun.

The man quickly gathered his emotions stood up and approached Lennok and Evelyn.

“I’m sorry for making a fuss. “I have caused you trouble.”

The man who shook hands with the two without hesitation introduced himself.

“I am the Dane of Kabahim. “I came to the Labyrinth to prevent scoundrels like Zaun from taking over the Ascendant’s relics.”

It’s Kabahim. Lennok had also heard that name.

A city-state located in the northwest of the continent. It has a fairly long history so there was a time when it took the form of a monarchy.

The reason that a military group called the Knights Templar exists in a city-state is probably because it has a history of existing as a kingdom.

There was a rumor that it was a region that produced outstanding warriors on a large scale and as they said the level of the knights was extremely high.

All of them were powerful people who knew how to control their own magical power and Dain who led them seemed to be looking at the realm beyond the Aspect.

The magical power he had unleashed just now to hold Jaun down was not at a level that even Lennok could downplay.

The young appearance that does not match his skills is also evidence that his original body has reached the end of self-transformation.

Evelyn too seemed to have sensed the unusual power of Dane’s magic and gazed at his face with a keen gaze.

Dane said while accepting those stares without any hesitation.

“I know what the two of you did before entering the labyrinth.”

“….”

“I never thought it would collapse the snow mountain and cause an avalanche. “The idea and decision are bold but what is most surprising is the versatility to make it successful.”

Lennok suddenly realized that Dane’s gloved hand was naturally resting on the handle and he took a slight step back.

Although I have fought against countless superhumans and strong fighters this is my first time facing a swordsman of this level.

How fast and sharp would a knight who concentrated all of his achievements on a single sword be able to strike first?

However despite Lennok’s wary reaction Dane turned his back with a faint smile.

“Thanks to you we entered the labyrinth easily so we’ll pass this time. But don’t be too greedy.”

“What do you mean?”

“If Jindun really failed to ascend to heaven and left his legacy in this world it should belong to someone who is worthy.”

Dane who had his back turned slowly raised his head and looked back at the two people.

His eyes buried in the darkness scattered a cold white chill.

“I hope the Blue Eyes will make a wise choice as well.”

“….”

Following Dane the other knights silently cast heavy gazes and disappeared toward another crossroads.

A group of knights who chose the exact crossroads where Zaun disappeared and disappeared. Only after confirming that they were gone Evelyn let out a small sigh.

“Ha… it doesn’t go away easily.”

“He is a belligerent person. “It will be difficult to avoid battle the next time we meet.”

The reason Dane retreated without drawing his sword just now was not because he received help in entering the labyrinth.

This is because I decided that it would be meaningless to lose my power against the two people now that they were wandering around the outermost part of the labyrinth.

It was a confidence that could only be achieved if one had tremendous confidence in one’s own strength.

“It seems certain that there is at least a grudge against Zaun Odis. “We need to make sure we can utilize that relationship appropriately.”

“It’s not long until the first gate. “Is it possible?”

As a result of cross-checking the logs of explorers who died outside the labyrinth the distance from here to the gateway is not long.

But Lennok grinned and raised his finger.

“Of course. “I couldn’t say anything just a moment ago but I succeeded in tagging both Jaun and Dane.”

“…what?”

“Thanks to your willingness to talk it was easy to deal with. In particular Jaun seemed to know a lot about the labyrinth so if we use it well we might be able to find out its secrets.”

Strangely enough he seemed like he was going to let Jaun go obediently but he was planning to follow him and steal his secret from the beginning.

Lennok’s idea of ​​going after two level 7 Aspect Powers was absurd but what was even more surprising was Lennok’s magic manipulation ability that made it truly successful.

“You’re bragging about your superiority in information in front of me… I’ll suck your resources right down to your marrow.”

Evelyn looked up with a bewildered expression at Rennok who was smiling sinisterly.

* * *

[Didn’t I tell you not to do anything reckless?]

“What are you talking about? “My calculations were perfect.”

Jaune responded as he ran quickly through the dark labyrinth corridors.

Even though he wears a thick robe and countless equipment for use in battle and exploration his breathing does not falter at all.

He is a high-level magician who has mastered a powerful technique called jewel magic but he also possesses the body of an outstanding warrior.

Because he knew that he was an excellent vessel capable of obtaining both powers that could not easily be reconciled the voice was lending its power to Jaun who was unable to overcome the wall.

[Those two people just now. If we had fought there was a high probability that we would have lost. You didn’t make a deal with me just to die in a labyrinth like this right?]

“…I knew about Hyeonggung’s skills but that wizard’s skills are at that level?”

[This is why I told you not to stop collecting information about Blue Eyes… Did you feel anything after you just looked at the inside of your hand?]

A voice echoing near Jaun’s heart sighed.

Jaune frowned.

“Hey are you saying this after realizing how much I’ve been running around like a dog? You went into Kabahim’s deepest place to keep the terms of your deal and you’re still being chased by those fucking knights. “I don’t have time to worry about things on the other side of the continent.”

Even now I can keenly feel the sharp magical energy following him from the back of that dark hallway.

However even though he could clearly see Dane’s powerful magic power he did not pay any attention to Jaune or his voice.

[Let’s continue talking.]

Rather the voice simply turned its attention back to the topic it had originally brought up.

[This is a flame magician who appeared in the Dominion two years ago and single-handedly defeated the drug lord of the Demon War. Nothing is known about his past whereabouts but his skills are so outstanding that the lighthouse keeper personally put in a lot of effort to bring him back.]

“….”

[Considering the scalability of the flame technique he is the worst opponent to fight in a labyrinth like this. I know that you have a bad way of speaking but as long as there is still room for business try not to cause animosity.]

“Hmm….”

[Should I be less knowledgeable about the trends of the continent than I am who has just woken up in this era?]

Advice mixed with faint ridicule. If it had been anyone else I would have crushed his head and turned it into a mess without even thinking about it.

However even though Jaune heard such sarcasm openly he only frowned and did not respond in any way.

What is the meaning of self-harming one’s own body? The other person is a monster who doesn’t feel physical pain anyway.

Instead Jaune heard what the voice said and turned his thoughts elsewhere.

“If that unlucky wizard is so useful I guess I should think of a way to use him in this labyrinth.”

[I told you that you would not be such an easy opponent.]

“I don’t have to make plans. Anyway in order to pass through the gates of this labyrinth they will eventually have no choice but to move. “If you take advantage of that gap you can take advantage.”

[Hehe… I’m very worried. How long are you planning on pretending to be proud of the knowledge I gave you?]

A voice that speaks as if scolding a child. Jaune was irritated but he tried to suppress his emotions.

A chunk of jewelry the size of a house I picked up while exploring ancient ruins in the northwest.

When I first spoke to the resentment trapped within the gray glow I never thought that it would become such a useful ally.

In the process he gave up part of his body and exchanged restrictions and trades but without the advice and knowledge of the voice he would not have been able to get up to this point.

I remember the last thing that happened in a huge city. Even the face of the wizard named Ban.

The sight of him casually breaking through a level he had never been able to reach before his eyes.

Rather than feeling jealous or inferiority at that sight wasn’t it because they were afraid that they left the vicinity of the big city and were pushed all the way here?

But it’s different now. Now is the time to complete the hierarchy of jewelery techniques and look beyond it.

And if you obtain the Ascendant’s relic and advance to another level.

“Once this is over I have to stop by Balkan.”

[It won’t be too late to think about that after safely escaping this labyrinth.]

Jaune chuckled at the voice’s words.

“Don’t worry. Can’t you see when you look at this situation now? “We’re almost there.”

Jaune stops in the middle of a dark spot in the hallway and looks into the darkness of the hallway he passed through.

Even now he could still feel Dane chasing him at extremely high speed from behind but it didn’t matter.

As long as we arrived here safely any tracking would be meaningless.

Wow!!

Touch the fifth brick at the bottom of the outer wall of the hallway and rotate the magic power. Three times to the right and once to the left.

Finally as he breathed in the words he had memorized in advance the hallway wall flipped over destroying the entire area where Jaune was.

Shake!!

Jaune who was inside the wall in an instant raised his head and looked up at the incredibly tall stairs in front of him.

“The information they gave us has never been wrong. “We stand at an overwhelming information advantage within this labyrinth.”

Although he did not say exactly what era the voice was from it was clear that it was hundreds of years old.

Otherwise there would be no way for me to know Jindun’s Hanghasa Labyrinth which was built over hundreds of years ago so intimately.

No maybe he wasn’t just familiar with the labyrinth but was a direct acquaintance of Jindun.

Jaune was vaguely thinking about it but was patient enough to ask the voice directly.

This is because he roughly guessed that the voice himself had to feel like telling it to him directly.

“don’t worry. “I will definitely be the first to obtain the Ascendant’s relic in this labyrinth.”

Jaun’s new form quickly moves up the stairs leaving behind the confused knights outside the hallway.

In a whirling maze with different thoughts and purposes.

However no one noticed that a faint strand of magic thread was shining through Jaun’s clothes.
