Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 369



Jindun(1)

“This can’t be right….”

The man who identified himself as Ermont seemed to be more shocked by Jindun’s appearance than Maiya who arrived first.

From his point of view having reached this point with the intention of taking away the Ascendant’s body this current situation would have been a completely unexpected result.

Lennok also never thought that Jindun would be waiting for guests who came to the labyrinth like this.

Above the pure white cradle palace. The appearance of a small old man with his eyes closed and breathing faintly.

Although the solemn majesty of the Ascended is nowhere to be felt there is no doubt that this man is none other than Zygis Ethernor himself.

If it weren’t for this man who gathered all the facilities and pipes of the cradle and fell asleep there would be no one who could maintain and implement this labyrinth.

“They are forcibly inserting a pipe into the spinal cord of the back and injecting something. “It’s an ugly method but the seams are very smooth…”

Lennok muttered looking at the pipe connection behind Jindun’s back.

“Are you continuously injecting the energy gathered around the cradle into Jindun’s body? No matter how you look at it it feels more like a life support device than a magic weapon…”

It’s been a while since I’ve already made the conclusion in my head but that makes it even harder to believe it.

All over Sasang. The Ascendant who single-handedly created a huge labyrinth with no end in the snowy plains is now extending his life by relying on machines to support his body.

I never once thought that waking Jindun up from his sleep and having a question and answer session would have meant something like this.

Maiya said raising her finger towards the two people.

“Everyone don’t move from that spot.”

“….”

Red drops of blood were dripping down the tips of her slender fingers.

“I am ready. “You know what this means right?”

“You’re lying.”

Lennok cut her off like a knife.

“A person who is truly prepared doesn’t say things like that Maiya. “It seems like it takes time to activate the law doesn’t it?”

Maiya didn’t respond to Lennok’s words. He just quietly twisted the corners of his mouth and made a mocking expression.

Lennok ignored her and quickly began checking the surroundings.

It seems clear that Maiya arrived one step ahead of the two and was drawing a drinking party.

Even after arriving in front of Jindun first the fact that she was drawing Beomjin instead of waking him up means that this was her original intention.

Lennok’s eyes shone sharply as he checked the direction of the drinking group.

‘The direction of the Dharma camp does not include Jindun. This is not a technique aimed at the ascendant himself. then….’

What are they aiming for by drawing up such a complicated technique in the middle of Jindun’s cradle?

If it was a magic technique that used her own blood as a medium it would almost certainly be a gold magic equivalent to blood magic.

A blood magic that uses the blood of the machine city’s greatest executioner as an ingredient. It seemed likely that the effects and results would be greater than Lennok imagined.

‘The direction and location are advantageous to Maiya. It’s impossible to move hastily.’

Lennok who instantly grasped the situation came up with an answer.

‘Forcibly shake it to create a gap.’

“It’s amazing how timeless the Machine City’s best enforcer is cleaning up Pandemonium.”

Maiya’s shoulders who had never expected to hear such words from Lennok faintly twitched.

“You bastard… how…”

Maiya did not know that Lennok had figured out that the two were members of Pandemonium through his conversation with the doctor.

That’s because at the time Lennok was talking to the doctor he was in the middle of a battle with Balak a gravity-type psychic.

Therefore the words Lennok said now shook Maiya more effectively than anything else.

“Did you bow to a criminal organization to escape the failure of Ascension Gate? “Considering your reputation this is an incredibly irresponsible decision.”

Maiya’s reaction unable to take her eyes off Lennok’s face.

The words themselves are proof that she is against her will and that it is based on a powerful principle of action.

“Ibelin should have seen you here but it’s a shame. “The sight of an ascendant not knowing what he wants…”

Lennok smiled coldly at Maiya.

“No matter how long you live you will never be able to pick up the mistakes you made.”

“…!!”

Maiya’s body stands up for a split second.

Proof that her reason is shaken to the point where she momentarily forgets about the drinking habits she has practiced so far.

Ascension Gate failure. Joining Pandemonium.

I don’t know exactly what happened in the process but it seemed clear that it was that important to her.

But still Maiya gritted her teeth and slowly brought her hand towards the drinking circle again.

“…Think whatever you like. “Since I’ve come this far what I have to do is decided.”

Did he calm down his anger and regain his sense of reason in that split second?

The cool-headedness of a superman who had lived as an executioner for decades was not something that should be looked down on.

Snap pop pop…!!

As the martial arts circle drawn on the floor vibrates loudly the blood painted on the martial arts circle begins to rise to the top.

Even Maiya’s hair which had fallen down rose up and her eyes glowed red.

“I came here to correct that mistake…!!”

Damn it!!

Unknown letters wriggled between the bars and soon stood up on top of the bars and began to pile something up.

Letters stained with red blood rose above the temple drawing a huge rectangular shape.

The shape resembles a huge door.

The moment when the scenery of the cradle was vaguely distorted beyond the huge bloody door carved in the air.

Lennok also waved his hand.

Wow!

The blood flowing down the wrist pours onto the blood circle that forms the shape of the door.

Immediately after that the magic contained in the blood began to act and interfere with Maiya’s magic on the spot.

“…!!”

“As expected it was a type of summoning spell that summoned someone.”

Lennok said biting his thumb and bleeding through his fingers once more.

The blood that flowed down from her hand was sprinkled onto Maiya’s surgical line.

“We have roughly figured out the structure. “I will calculate back from the root of that spell and dismantle it.”

“Evaaaaan!!!”

A magic power recovery potion that I had saved for the last time in case of an emergency.

After taking it it begins to decompose Maiya’s blood magic in reverse using the magic power contained in the scattered blood as a catalyst.

Maiya’s magic technique where the door began to collapse without taking its shape.

Maiya who realized in an instant that her plan had gone to waste stood up and kicked Lennok.

Wow!!

“…!!”

Lennok who fell back a dozen meters without even being able to scream gritted his teeth.

Pain as if the intestines were bursting. It was surprising that she still had this much power left but there was no time to think about it for long.

She stood up with a devil-like expression pulled out the blade hanging from her waist and began to approach Lennok.

“Tell me right now how you deciphered the principles of the Gate of Ascension!!!!”

“Uh… I don’t have any teeth… That’s the part where I’m angry…!!”

Are you angry not at the destruction of the spell but at the fact that the spell containing the principles of the Gate of Ascension has been interpreted?

That single word contained all the reasons why Maiya was obsessed with the failure of the Gate of Ascension.

The moment when Lennok searched inside his collar to grab the artifact with trembling hands and Maiya lifted the blade.

Kwasik!!

A pillar of jewels rose from beneath Maiya’s feet and pierced her shoulder.

“I’m sorry but I can’t leave you like that.”

Ermont a warlock who made a prisoner’s seal with a smiling face.

At the same time the jewel pillar that pierced Maiya’s shoulder exploded.

Quaaaaaaa!!

“Ahh…!!”

The sight of Maiya falling down without even being able to scream properly.

Battles and races continued one after another. At the end of the mind and body exhausted to the limit only the will remains and burns.

Ermont looked at Maiya and lifted Lennok who had fallen by his shoulders.

“I’m glad she doesn’t seem to have much interest in Jin-dun herself. Thanks to you I was able to seize the opportunity.”

“…What are we doing now?”

“Looking at Xygis’s condition it seems likely that my plan will return to nothing.”

Ermont said with a bright smile.

When Jaun smiled like that with his snake-like body a truly friendly smile naturally formed.

“I thought I wouldn’t have to worry about what happens next after taking away the Ascendant’s body but haven’t things changed a lot?”

“So are you going to save up points in advance for when you leave the labyrinth?”

“If this continues this guy’s body won’t last long.”

Ermont who casually mentioned Zaun’s limitations shrugged his shoulders.

“In that case I think it would be right to get what we can from Zygis and work together to escape this labyrinth.”

“….”

Is his intention to guarantee his safety by clinging to Lennok in the process of escaping the labyrinth?

Instead of answering right away Lennok shook off his support and stood up on his own feet.

Ermont paid no heed to Lennok’s reaction and muttered as he approached Jindun’s side.

“First I need to think about how I can wake Jindun from his sleep. Actually I thought he would have already woken up the moment he changed the tune of the song but…”

“He was too tired to wake up just by changing the song.”

It wasn’t Lennok or Maiya who answered that question.

“It’s been a very long time… a very long time to get an answer.”

The moment I noticed the being was walking past the two people.

So close that you could even feel their breath. The speed feels infinitely slow but is also so fast that it is imperceptible.

Wow!!

Bright red blood drops crashing down from above the head and scattering like rain.

A rain of fresh blood fills the pure white cavity of the cradle. The half-smashed and collapsed door of the magic ceremony is half open.

“You must have remembered the promise you made a long time ago.”

He said that and calmly looked down at Jindun’s face through the falling rain of blood.

As if he had no interest in the presence of Lennok and Ermont standing behind him.

“I made a decision because such an empty promise that wouldn’t be surprising if I forgot… touched my heart. Either way his will deserves respect.”

The being who muttered indifferently looked back at the two people without saying a word.

Although it clearly has a human shape its face cannot be clearly recognized.

The information coming into your head is not converted properly as if there is noise.

It is not a fault with Lennok’s sensory organs but rather a heterogeneous landscape that seems to have resulted in an error in the values ​​output to the world.

However instead of raising his magic power to deal with the suddenly appearing obstructionist Lennok slowly backed away in a cold sweat.

Because he had undoubtedly heard this voice before echoing through the air and into his ears.

At that time a message was delivered directly through the power of Agneta the messenger of Pandemonium.

I still clearly remember that voice which was so ambiguous that I couldn’t tell whether it was a man a woman an old man or a child.

“In that case I too have no choice but to respond.”

Lennoc gritted his teeth and muttered as the being murmured the words.

“Pandemonium…!!!!”

One of the largest criminal organizations on the continent. The leader of a group of all kinds of monsters who gather together to form a battle against all demons.

The leader of Pandemonium who was shrouded in all sorts of mysteries and veils.

On the other side of the lighthouse keeper. The being who was in some sense closest to the truth of this world was standing before Lennok’s eyes.

Coo coo coo coo coo…!!!

Immediately after the pressure of enormous magical power pressed down on the two people.

“Khaak!!”

“…power!!”

In this situation where magical power is depleted the pressure is so heavy that not even an ounce of resistance is possible. Even if my condition had been perfect would I have been able to endure it for long?

The opponent is a being at the pinnacle of the battle with monsters such as Kroken and Myeong under his command.

It is impossible to even predict how far its power and potential will reach.

Realizing that he might not be able to survive this situation if he made a mistake Lennok fell to the floor and bit his lip.

‘Damn it in a place like this…!!’

In a corner of my mind I quickly check for underwater artifacts and means of escape but I find myself unable to understand the current situation.

If a big name like the leader of Pandemonium had walked directly into the labyrinth there would have been no way that Lapis would not have detected his presence.

Didn’t Lennok also constantly check the faces of his competitors while sniping in the snowy mountains to prepare for any unexpected variables?

The presence of the leader was such a critical issue that it could overturn the situation that had continued up until now.

The leader who had pinned Lennok and Ermont to the floor in an instant muttered while stroking his chin.

“But I didn’t know that only Mai would be here. “I asked the doctor for a favor because it is necessary for the transcendent to continue the cause and effect of the world…”

“I was wondering why the Pandemonium was involved and that was the reason….”

Lennok muttered shaking his shoulders.

“You mean you could only get this far if someone contacted the Ascendant once…!!”

“Normally I wouldn’t use this cumbersome method.”

The leader looked down at Lennok and answered.

“For me who was only allowed to walk backwards looking back at the path I had taken this was the widest path.”

The question of why only one of the Pandemoniums Maiya Renslit entered the labyrinth is finally answered.

If you were planning on coveting the relics of the ascended or checking whether he was alive or dead you should have put in more effort than you are now.

Instead the reason he asked one person Maiya to break through the labyrinth was because contacting the Ascendant itself was of no concern to anyone.

If only someone could catch Jin-dun’s appearance like this the leader would be able to go with the flow and reach the transcendent.

“Things happened like this but it doesn’t really matter. “As long as I can reach Jindun anyway the process won’t have much meaning.”

The leader glanced down at Lennok and Ermont and then started walking towards Jindun who was still asleep.

At that moment Ermont who had been groaning until now began to laugh darkly.

“Those unusual words and actions… a very peculiar way of being… I think I know who you are.”

“….”

When the leader heard those words he hesitated slightly but did not stop walking.

Ermont also paid no attention and continued speaking.

“There were beings like you hundreds of years ago. No you were probably still alive at that time and waiting for the ending right?”

Ermont who lifted his face with difficulty grinned.

“Zigis…. poor man. In the end you decided to leave everything to your senior. It’s a pity. “A miracle is something that never comes twice.”

“I am here now to change that predestined ending.”

The leader answered calmly and slowly placed his hand on Jindun’s shoulder.

“I… I know. In the end all of this may end in a futile struggle. “The reason given to me may have run out of meaning a long time ago.”

The director’s thinly spread fingers pass over his shoulder and head toward Jindun’s back.

Towards the thousands of pipe stems tightly joined to his body.

“Wait a minute what are you trying to do…!! no way!”

The moment when Lennok realized what the general manager was trying to do and his complexion completely changed.

“But even if this world is not the place I loved I will try to prevent the moment when everything is thrown into the whirlpool of the open sea and disappears.”

Squeaky…!!

The moment the pipe connected to Jindun’s back is pulled open with force a huge amount of energy leaks out and explodes through the cavity of the cradle.

A mechanical device used to maintain the body and life of the ascendant. It goes without saying how powerful and lethal the power contained within it is.

However the leader caught the energy leaking out between the pipes and ripped off the pipe connected to Jindun’s back.

“That would be the only repayment I can give for being saved by the world.”

Damn it!!

Apply force to the chunk of pipe joined behind Jindun’s back and tear it off in one go.

Blood and flesh torn along the surface of his back flew into the air spraying hot fresh blood.

The Ascendant’s body was so fragile that it seemed as if it would die at any moment.

The exact moment when the entire mechanism that sustains life was destroyed.

Jindun opened his eyes.

* * *

Lennok was looking at someone.

A child playing with a pebble. It belongs to a child who just turned five years old and doesn’t look like it.

The child who lined up a few stones on the ground and drew a circle smiled awkwardly.

Turn your head.

The appearance of a mature boy. Impressive appearance with flowing blonde hair.

Draw a circle with a tree branch in your hand and fill it with unknown symbols.

The boy who had completed a fairly convincing barrier smiled happily.

Turn your head.

The appearance of a young man who has reached his age.

He flows magical energy into the ground with a staff held in one hand.

Even to Lennok a high-level barrier was completed at once covering the young man.

The young man smiled proudly.

Turn your head.

The young man did not age any more.

However the level of barriers he creates increases exponentially.

It goes beyond what Lennok can recognize anymore transcends systems ignores properties and interferes with space-time.

He completes his own system surpassing the techniques of barrier techniques that existed in the world.

The young man no longer smiled.

Time passed.

An immeasurable amount of time passes and the youth who had never aged slowly changes into an adult and then into an old man.

Barrier techniques have not developed much over a long period of time so much so that it can be seen that superhumans who have already reached a certain level are getting older.

I just focused on constantly making up for my shortcomings and building up my strengths.

More time passed.

Every time I turned my head and looked to the side I saw a man exploring barrier techniques in different timelines.

Beyond tens and hundreds… After walking for such a long time until the moment we finally reach the end.

The man always had his head down and was looking down at his feet.

Looking back the fact of looking down at something was something he was perfectly familiar with.

Although I no longer feel the joy of watching the small world I created spin around.

Perhaps barrier art is just a small way of imitating what the gods do.

Therefore it is unclear whether a man and no one else was qualified to challenge for ascension.

If you follow what a god does and reach the peak you can eventually call it another god.

Of course men were not gods and did not want to become gods.

His existence as a transcendental being who has cast aside causality may have been enough to make him appear as a god in the eyes of others.

I have no resentment or regret about that fact.

However if there is something I would like to tell you now even if it is belated-

Click click.

The very end of the timeline with hundreds of men lined up.

A small-looking old man with a pale complexion is sitting with his back bowed in silence.

Unlike other men who had been playing with barrier techniques what the old man was touching was a small game board.

The game board with its impressive black and white checker pattern somehow looked similar to the one Lennok knew.

Lennok looked at the languid figure of the old man and slowly walked towards him.

I sat across from the old man across the game board.

Then hundreds of men who had been concentrating on touching Lennok as if he wasn’t there all raised their heads and started looking at him.

The old man who had not raised his head until then slowly raised his eyes and grinned at Lennok.

“Would you like to play a game?”

Lennok smiled and nodded.

“Of course Xygis.”
