Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 364



The one who wakes up (2)

“….”

Lennok who was looking around blankly checked his body and quickly remembered.

Just before entering the gate I remember three people passing through the gate almost at the same time.

At that moment when he made an effort to be the first to pass through the gate burning not only his lack of magical power but also his body and mind he did not feel any signs of popularity around Lennok.

“Are you late…?”

Lennoc who belatedly realized the situation muttered to himself.

Of the three people running toward the gate it was definitely Lennok who had the least physical ability.

If he was the only one left here wouldn’t the others have come to their senses and headed for the cradle long ago?

Even as he felt the negative thoughts coming upon him Lennok struggled to raise his body by supporting his knees.

‘You can’t give up.’

I don’t know about Maiya but if it were Jaun’s nature there would be no way he would leave a fainted Lennok alone.

It was quite possible that the three people who entered the gate ended up in different places.

“The monoscope is… wrong.”

Lennok put his eyes on the monoscope he had taken out from his pocket and sighed softly.

The function of the monoscope is an object specialized in finding the location of magical power that the user is aware of.

Until now it had shown Jindun’s appearance creating an unknown synergy with Lennok’s magical eye but it was unable to play any role in this space filled with the Ascendant’s magic.

Lennok had no choice but to put away his monoscope and start walking forward blindly.

Slap slap slap!

Every time I took a step the water up to my ankles splashed and a soft echo rang out.

Lennok was checking his condition while walking slowly through a pure white space with no end in sight.

“…Dabi?”

He realized that the lightning spirit that was always sleeping in his arms was no longer visible.

As soon as he crossed through the gate Dabi’s presence was reverse summoned.

Considering that Dabi basically prefers the summoned state it could not have been her intention.

Have my senses begun to blur to the point that I cannot properly perceive the presence of spirits?

Even though he knew his condition was not normal Lennok began to gather thoughts of various kinds to somehow come to his senses.

‘The aftereffects of mana addiction have definitely been reduced a lot… I can feel it by almost half. In reality it would have reduced the aftereffects even more than that.’

Is it because I have been thoroughly managing my condition by consistently taking the single pills diagnosed by the pharmacist Januszka Greenway?

Even though he was rotating his magic so violently throughout his body while running towards the gate Lennok was still able to move his body.

Of course every time he walks he feels a sharp pain all over his body as if being stabbed by a needle but the very act of moving his legs is something completely unfamiliar to Lennok.

Yakseon’s diagnosis of gradually dispersing the risk of the aftereffects of mana poisoning rather than completely eliminating them was indeed accurate.

A way to reduce the impact of the penalty without touching its essence.

Because he had such intuition and a deep understanding of patients he probably faced tragedy at the hands of those who coveted his abilities.

‘My magic power has also recovered quite a bit. I’m not in a state where I can’t fight. Is it because the concentration of magical power in the cradle is so incredibly high?’

As its name the Cradle of the Ascendants suggests the magic power filled in this space is so enormous that Lennok cannot fully grasp it.

The aftermath alone is enough to rapidly increase the magic recovery speed of not only Lennok but also others who enter this space.

‘Maiya and Jaun. It seemed like we knew each other’s faces… Maybe we had met once before entering the labyrinth?’

Although Lennok continued to think about the presence of other competitors he did not hurry his steps.

Not only was the end of this space not easily visible but there was no way to move quickly in the first place.

For Lennok who lost his bike the only remaining mobility is space jumping which consumes about 40% of his horsepower at once.

The movement distance is virtually meaningless considering that it is a technique used in battle and not just a few meters.

It was not for nothing that Lennok moved his body instead of using various magics while the gate was right in front of him.

It’s not that I don’t get anxious but if I recklessly use magic to strengthen my body the aftereffects of addiction will only worsen.

Puuuuu….

A faint melody echoed above Lennok’s head as he was lost in thought.

Lennok turned his head and walked towards the direction from where the sound came from.

We were moving forward blindly without being able to distinguish between left and right and front and back. If I could find even a trace like this that would be enough.

A heavy beating similar to a horn. It feels like sweet music that resonates deep in my heart.

I don’t know much about music but I walked in the direction of the sound repeating the rhythm in my head to remember it.

Lennok who succeeded in identifying the source of the sound after a considerable amount of time frowned.

“This is…”

What appeared through the faint fog was a huge cylinder that seemed to have been carved out of pure white stone.

There were dozens of such pillars stuck in this vast water fog.

The sound of a heavy horn resounds between pillars spaced at a certain distance from each other and echoes overhead.

Lennok’s gaze went up to the sky where a melody appeared and disappeared and then returned to the pillar.

Lennok’s eyes calmly sank as he closely observed the surface of the pillar.

“The wind is making a sound as it passes through faint cracks in the surface. “It was made to produce a consistent tone regardless of the direction of the wind.”

This is not something that can be accomplished with just one pillar. It was probably designed to produce harmony by precisely arranging dozens of pillars.

An arrangement with such a firm purpose would never have been a naturally created object.

If Dabi were there he would record the pattern and then apply an algorithm to interpret it but right now he can’t afford to do that.

Even if it takes some time Lennok has no choice but to record and analyze the pattern himself.

The moment Lennok carefully raised his magic power while thinking like that.

Colorful magical light flashed right next to him and an explosion erupted and engulfed his body.

Quaaaaaaa!!

The sound of a horn resounding in a quiet space is instantly drowned out by an explosion of sound and the roaring sound echoes one after another and spreads across the white space.

The water rose to the top of my feet and spread out in all directions creating ripples that continuously overlapped.

Lennok who identified the owner of the magic power through the shattered shield shed a cold glare.

“Jaun….”

“You’re sick of it aren’t you?”

Jaune with a tattered complexion smiled wearing only a shirt and a thick robe covering his body.

He brushed back his messy hair and looked at Lennok and grinned.

“If I heard the sound of Changyo Stone I knew it would definitely come this way. “They probably aren’t so tactless.”

“Chang Yo-seok? “Are you talking about this stone pillar?”

Even though it suffered the aftermath of Jaun’s jewel magic from the front the stone pillar was not even scratched.

I knew that it was not an ordinary item given its considerable durability but I never thought it was an item with a separate name.

Jaune laughed at Lennok’s words and responded.

“It’s literally a singing stone. “It is an item of high technical value because it embraces the wind and produces a tone that could never be created artificially.”

“….”

“Because of its scarcity the price is extremely high. I never imagined that Jindun would have so many window stones stored away. I would have guessed that the melody itself of Changyo-seok is being used by melting it into a barrier technique…”

Jaune muttered with a faint look of admiration.

“Are you saying that for a transcendentalist the framework and standards of the technique have no meaning? “I can’t even fathom the principle behind giving meaning to regularly repeated sounds and transforming them into such a high-level barrier technique.”

“Are you saying that musical sounds are being used as part of a barrier technique?”

Lennok’s face hardened as he instantly understood the meaning of Jaune’s words.

“As expected…you know too much about this labyrinth.”

“I know. “Otherwise would you have thought of coming into Jindun’s deepest state in your right mind?”

Jaune with a sly smile answered while smoothing his sleeves.

“Strange guys like you and Maiya are going out of their way to meet Jindun who we don’t know if he’s dead or alive. “Most of the people who crawl into this labyrinth are only interested in the scraps that will fall from the Ascendant’s remains.”

“….”

“What do you want to talk about when you meet the Transcendent? “You don’t think he’ll teach you anything do you?”

Jaune laughed at Lennok with the corners of his mouth torn apart.

However Lennok looked at Jaun blankly and suddenly spoke.

“The words are too long.”

“…what?”

“We couldn’t pinpoint Maiya’s location. You probably don’t have the confidence to leave me in this situation and get out on your own. “Even though he knew that there was no point in provoking him with trivial words he attacked me first and showed himself…”

At first glance Jaun’s words and actions appear to be relaxed but when you look at them one by one there are some inconsistencies.

Even with his poor judgment Lennok quickly grasped the identity of the unnaturalness and turned his head towards the long pillars lined up behind him.

“There’s something on the window seat. The road to the cradle exists behind here. No to be precise…”

The inside of the barrier technique that is reconstructed within the cradle according to the rhythm of Changyoseok.

Jindun is sleeping there.

As soon as Lennok realized that fact he raised his magic power with all his might and erected a huge wall of ice in front of his eyes.

Unique magic of the freezing class.

[Cheongnyeongjinwa (淸囹鎭瓦)]

Coo coo coo!!

The three jewels resonated almost simultaneously on top of the frozen barrier through the water below their feet and the rock fist exploded and smashed into the barrier.

Before he could even hear the rest of Lennok’s words Jaun suddenly deployed his gem technique and attacked again.

Quaaaaaaa!!

The impact shook the air around the area shattered the barrier and scattered ice shards.

“You unlucky bastard.”

Jaun’s face with a lifeless smile between the shaking ice cubes.

The expression itself was a signal that Lennok had guessed the correct answer.

“I should have just killed him instead of offering cooperation but that was my mistake.”

“You mean now?”

Lennok laughed.

“I was definitely willing to make a deal with you. “You must have been the one hiding here and there and avoiding the deal.”

“What the fuck is the deal? “The guy who followed me secretly and tried to get ahead whenever he got the chance…!!”

Churrrrrrrr!!

Jaune holding eight jewels between his fingers raised his magical power with all his might.

“If you think about it it was all because of you that the plan went awry. “I will burst the head of that thief who thinks like a thief right here.”

“He’s a thief… That’s not something you want to hear from a terrorist.”

Lennok smiled bitterly as he stared at the brilliant brilliance of the jewel.

Jaune glared at Lennok and crossed both arms holding the jewel.

“Dude!!”

[Moonstone: Summon Jolyeong]

[Yeonsujeong (煙水晶): Multi-gwang projection]

The jewels on both index fingers soar above the head and explode. It transforms into two birds with blue flames.

The four-pronged jewels on the middle and ring fingers floated in all directions of Zaun scattering different waves.

The remaining two gems rotated vertically and the dozens of lasers that came out of the explosion began to bend and target Lennok from all directions.

Kugwagwagwagwagwang!!!

As lasers hit all sides of Lennok heat bursts out and two birds flying in the sky flap their wings and drop dozens of fireworks from above.

Jaune who rushed forward without hesitation in the midst of the bombardment being fired at one person grabbed the gem that had floated to his right with his hand and swung it towards Lennok.

[Jasper: Four Directions]

Kwaaaa!!

The half-broken ice barrier [Cheongryeongjinwa] was shattered into pieces revealing the shape of a huge wolf covering Jaun’s arms.

Lennok looked at the sight through the shattered shield and was slightly impressed.

“Does it even reach the spiritual level? Even though it is done through expensive jewels it is still at a considerable level. Although it is said that it is possible to cross the lineage it would be basically impossible without knowledge of other techniques.”

“okay. “Keep talking like that.”

[Sunrise Stone: Three Directions]

Jaune with a cold smile on his face grabbed the gem on his left with his other hand and the image of a deer appeared.

“Not until I rip your spine out alive you idiot!!”

Couuuuuuuuuuuuuuut!!!

An oval-shaped shock wave spreading around the two people.

The power contained within is so intense that there is a distortion between the manifestation and release of power.

“I thought this would happen someday.”

However in that split second Lennok summoned a new carapace shield and nodded parrying Zaun’s third attack.

“It feels a bit late.”

“I’m dying!!!”

As the calm confession and the desperate shout overlapped the magic wielded by the two magicians overlapped and rang out.

Ice fragments blown by the blowing wind quickly swell in size and turn into a violent snowstorm.

The onslaught of necrotic entities swung in Zaun’s hands and summoned entities spinning from all directions swept the entire battlefield.

Kwaaaaa!!!

A roaring sound like waves crashing incessantly. The intensity of the magic power that these two people exert is in no way inferior to that.

The drawn-up magic power split into dozens or hundreds of pieces froze and exploded turning into a thunderstorm of heat and the magic light flashing from all directions transformed into a variety of magic techniques with all kinds of properties striking diagonally and confusing the vision.

Doo doo doo!!

Zaun’s onslaught includes direct hand-to-hand combat from the front and continuous bombardment using summoned summoned beasts.

His skills and martial arts which embody both the vanguard and rearguard roles with his short stature are at a level that even Lennok cannot ignore.

However rather than retreating from the attack filled with terrifying killing power Lenno instead pushed forward without hesitation.

Let’s go!!

The enormous destructive power of the necromantic body added to Jaun’s fighting skills is absorbed with the carapace shield and the force of the impact is spilled onto the floor.

[Bingbaekju (氷白柱): Gakryeom (角灎)]

He catches the water that is shaking and bursting from below his ankles and turns it into a huge pillar of ice.

[Demyeonghwajaeng (奪鳴火爭)]

Catch the fire pouring from above your head take away the authority resonate and explode.

[The dog is drunk]

A purple chain shoots out from under his feet and hangs down holding Jaun’s limbs.

Weeeeeee!!

The magic which is lethal even to a single person and has a sophisticated operating principle is assembled and rotated sequentially in an instant in Lennok’s hand.

They all manifested at almost the same time in one breath scattering dazzling triple-attribute waves everywhere centered on the wizard.

Dozens of gigantic ice horn pillars rise up at the same time from the center of the pillar area made of window stones.

Doo doo doo doo doo doo!!!

Bright blue flames burst through the frozen water column and the purple chain spun like crazy.
