Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 368



The one who wakes up (5)

A huge palace floating on the lake.

The man in front of the magnificent scenery looked back at Lennok and smiled.

“I’m sorry but I guess I’ll have to ignore the promise I made to let you meet Jindun first.”

“….”

“If he meets Zygis and interferes with my cause things will become troublesome.”

Is Lennok being wary of warning Jindun about his body being taken away?

The corners of the man’s mouth were torn as he glanced back.

“If we hadn’t been so quick-witted we could have achieved what we both wanted… Isn’t being smart always a good thing?”

From the moment Lennok discovered the man’s hidden true intentions their cooperation was in jeopardy.

“I am giving you advice as a senior in life so please listen carefully and act wisely in the future. “Then I will go first.”

The man who greeted the cradle dozens of meters ahead of Lennok leisurely declared victory.

Zaun consumes one of his original powerful emotions to force him to move tens of meters. At the same time I opened the door to the cradle so I no longer have to be held back by Lennok.

Block attacks and defenses that follow from behind with the power of the remaining area and enter the cradle yourself.

The moment the man who thought so turned around and was about to activate the jewel technique.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Quaaaaa!!

As Lennok spoke a huge wave rose right behind the man.

The wave he had just raised with water-type magic to attack the man.

The direction of the water flow had changed and it was moving forward with Lennok’s body still on it.

“I didn’t expect from the beginning that you would keep your promise.”

“…!!”

The man whose complexion completely changed as he saw Lennok riding the wave ahead consumed the jewel pillar and activated a spell.

His body floated in the air and began flying at high speed.

Wedge!!

A flight technique that is extremely efficient without the help of artifacts.

However the stronger the catalyst used in the technique the more efficient it becomes and the stronger its power becomes.

A one-time technique used to sever the emotions of people called Jaun.

The man accelerated by using up power in an area full of risks that he would never have used if it were his own body.

Although he considered Jaun a partner he was not a wizard with enough compassion to leave room for his own goals.

Doo doo doo doo!!!

A new type of two people running on low lapping water. One side is in the air and the other side is rolling around in a mess riding the waves it created itself.

The situation is such that there is not much magic power or stamina left for each other. The bodies of two people who narrowly determine superiority or inferiority pass through an intangible barrier at the same time.

They all fell simultaneously inside the cradle’s spacious palace.

The two wizards who fell in the middle of the vast hall let out painful groans together as if they had made a promise.

thud!!

“Khaak!!”

“Ugh…!!”

A man who could not stop coughing shook his whole body with a pale complexion.

“Uhm…!! “As expected my physical condition is…!!”

Although it is said that Jaun’s body was borrowed this body itself was already exposed to the aftermath of the defeat in the battle with Rennok.

Not only did he consume most of his magical power but his muscles were damaged as magical energy that did not belong to him seeped into various parts of his body while being tortured by Lennok.

In addition as the man himself took control of Jaun’s body the power of his resentment escaped from the area around the heart making blood circulation difficult.

Lennok’s eyes flashed as he looked at the fallen man squirming next to him.

“That’s right…!!”

The reason why the man pretended to be relaxed the whole time focusing on defense instead of repelling Lennok’s attacks.

This was because Jaun’s body itself was on the verge of destruction and was deteriorating to the point where he was unable to fight.

Lennok is also confident that he will be second to none in terms of stamina and durability but in this situation it is not like he has no chance of winning.

Ah!

With trembling hands I take out a painkiller from my pocket and chew it.

At the same time take out an ampoule for stamina recovery and inject it directly into the carotid artery.

Although it is an injection method that can lead to serious bleeding if done incorrectly the effect was excellent.

Lennok who had regained some energy succeeded in standing up first.

“Whoa…!!”

After checking the man who was still lying down and writhing Lennok sighed and collected himself.

“It was close but I think I’ll be first. “I’ll just wait there calmly until I meet Jindun.”

Lennok who raised his head as he walked forward gradually trailed off and then stopped.

This is because Lennok’s head which raised his gaze along the stairs in front of him did not stop and was bent straight up.

“….”

The stairs spread so far and wide that you can’t see the end.

On both sides of the stairs thousands of thick pipes cover the walls and ceiling of the palace.

Lennok who belatedly realized that there were thousands of stairs cursed quietly.

“Damn….”

After all shouldn’t Evelyn have been here not Lennok?

I couldn’t thank her enough for her consideration but Lennok not the ascendant might die first while climbing these stairs.

* * *

“Huh huh…!!”

“Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…!!”

Beads of hot sweat fall continuously on the stairs.

Clothes that were thrown away unable to withstand the weight are sometimes scattered hundreds of meters down the stairs.

“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…!!”

“…It looks like it’s going to be very difficult.”

Lennok who had been crawling up the stairs with a blank expression glanced back.

Because I had used up so much stamina my eyes became puffy and my cheeks became thin.

A man who was crawling on all fours at the bottom of the stairs slightly behind Lennok laughed helplessly.

“Hehe you say that…?”

“….”

“Well… if you have any leftover medicine… why don’t you throw me some more.”

The man looked up at Lennok with a tired expression and quenched his appetite.

“That ampoule tasted pretty good.”

“go away….”

The reason why the man who couldn’t even muster the strength to move properly was following Lennok up the stairs was simple.

The man picked up the ampoule bottle that Lennok had thrown away broke it open and ate the contents inside.

The man who seemed to have gained a little energy from licking the scraps left on the wall started to climb the stairs not to be outdone and even Lennok was impressed by the man’s hesitation.

“Were people back in the old days really… lousy?”

“These days… it’s not as good as the kids but…! Phew…!!”

“Hehe….”

The sight of them arguing while crawling up the stairs is so funny that I can’t stand it.

Although they are spewing harsh words at each other they are concentrating on climbing the stairs instead of using their hands.

They both intuitively realized that unlike outside the cradle magic power could no longer be restored inside this huge palace.

The magical power flowing in this space is sucked in between the pipes packed on the walls and ceiling on both sides of the stairs before it can settle in the bodies of the two people.

The pipe’s suction port didn’t stop there but worked greedily as if it was scraping up the two people’s depleted mana.

Even with Lennok’s magic manipulation ability all he has to do is not lose the basic magic power that maintains his body.

It was natural that a man with Zaun’s body would not be able to last long.

“Ugh…!!”

Lennok who realized that his legs were shaking on the stairs took out a new ampoule from his pocket.

Click!!

“Oh!!”

The man watching the scene from below let out a wild cheer.

Lennok looked down at the man with cold eyes while putting the ampoule on his shoulder.

“I don’t know why you’re happy. “I won’t give it to you.”

“But you’re going to throw that bottle away… aren’t you?”

The man answered while licking his tongue.

“This body magic talent isn’t very good but it has pretty good medicinal properties. “It’s enough just to leave some scraps behind.”

“….”

A remark so lame that it’s hard to believe that he was a high-ranking warlock hundreds of years ago.

But Lennok was not without ideas either.

Instead of throwing the used ampoule bottle at his feet he threw it straight down.

“ah…!!”

The man who was looking at the ampoule tumbling down the stairs with a devastated expression lowered his head.

No matter how urgent the medication is going down the stairs to pick up the ampoule is almost a waste.

For no reason he made an easy choice to prevent the man from benefiting from being by Lennok’s side while he was taking the medicine.

Lennog looked at the man with satisfaction then turned around and started climbing up the stairs.

Because my physical strength and magical power were near the bottom I was climbing the stairs in this ugly manner but I didn’t have time to rest for long.

‘Since the cradle has been revealed Maiya will definitely have noticed something wrong.’

Neither Lennok nor the man had yet forgotten the existence of a third competitor who also entered the cradle.

‘We have to wake Jindun up before she finds this place and gets to the stairs.’

It is unknown how much power Maiya has left but compared to Lennok and Jaun who fought in front of the cradle she is likely to be in relatively good condition.

I couldn’t let her take advantage first in the end.

‘Anyway the environment is quite strange for a place where ascendants live.’

Lennok tried to keep the surroundings in his mind even as he crawled up the stairs panting.

The appearance of unidentifiable pipes crammed into both walls of the vast cradle.

Is it for moving something or is it a device for listening to music from afar?

Could it be that the pipe itself is used to generate sound?

Majestic magic swirling overhead a classical melody and a staircase with no end in sight.

Even if you no longer have to tilt your head all the way back you can start to see the end of the stairs.

Lennok who realized that he still couldn’t see Maiya down there gritted his teeth got up and started running.

“Ugh…!!”

Due to the effects of taking the medicine in succession and the side effects of addiction my stamina was depleted and my stomach had reached its limit so gastric juice was leaking out of my mouth but that wasn’t the important thing.

‘in the end…!!’

Immediately after receiving Lapis’ contact for the first time and joining the summons he broke through the Hanghasa Labyrinth between the snowy plains of the North Continent and the canyon and reached the deepest part and the result is right in front of Lennok’s eyes.

Finally and only now can we meet the Ascended.

What should I ask first? What should I answer first?

Even though I’ve been thinking about this moment over and over again my head still feels like it’s going to explode with worry.

Even though I thought it was a problem that had no answer I continued to worry about it and couldn’t stop.

What kind of ending awaits the transcendental person who reached the answer before and higher than Lennok in this world with a fixed end?

Didn’t you think only about that wait for only that and burn everything to get to this point?

Percussion!!

Thinking so Lennok jumped up the stairs with all his might.

I stopped on the spot when I saw the scene in front of me.

“….”

“Huh huh…!!”

Immediately after the man who had caught up with Lennoc looking as if he was out of breath fell down at Lennok’s feet.

“I ended up picking it up and eating it… I couldn’t stand it…”

The man who followed the ampoule bottle that Lennok had thrown down took the medicine and came up with the effects raised his head with difficulty.

“Zigis…!! “I Ermont take care of you….”

The scenery on the stairs that stops the man who was about to gasp and call Jindun’s name.

The center of the cradle.

A man was quietly closing his eyes on a small chair placed in the middle of a vast cavity above thousands of stairs.

“….”

Small wrinkles engraved around the eyes. Breathing so faintly that you can barely feel it.

The two people seemed to be sleeping peacefully as if they had no interest in what happened after struggling to climb up.

But what left Lennok and the man speechless was not the Ascendant’s appearance which was much more shabby than expected.

Thousands of pipes are lined up tightly behind the small chair he is sitting on.

This was because all the pipes that filled the walls and ceiling of this palace were plugged into Jindun’s back and waist.

And right in front of the chair of the old man with his head down and his eyes closed.

A complicated drinking system engraved under the floor. Fresh blood flowing down the elbow.

“It’s too late.”

Maiya was smiling coldly as she put her blood-covered hands on the floor.
