Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 373



Lingering and longing (1)

There are jewels and valuables inside the cradle but now that the labyrinth is collapsing there is no time or space to take out all the belongings.

I had no choice but to take along as many portable items as possible including the relics that Jindun had used right before he became an ascendant.

The leader may have known about these artifacts but he was not interested and Maiya was not even aware of them.

The relics sealed on the altar of the Changyo Stone belonged to Lennok.

“hmm….”

The existence of an artifact that Jindun Zygis Ethernor used before becoming eligible to challenge for ascension.

Artifacts with various abilities collected by the highest-ranking magicians are in themselves symbols of powerful laws and are called “magic weapons” in the world.

If one had obtained all of the Ascendant’s magic weapons he should be happy but Lennok’s expression was calm.

This is because I was roughly aware of what was left in Jindun’s warehouse through memories that had already been passed down in my head.

Hundreds of years have passed since Jin Dun created and built the Hanghasa Labyrinth and during that time more than ten people chatted with him and received relics.

The crystal ball that he uses by borrowing someone else’s image that is now in his hands is also part of the treasure that existed in Jindun’s labyrinth.

Lennok also knew that there were not many relics left on the altar after such a long time.

‘But there remain relics that are more valuable than anything else.’

Two relics placed at either end of the serene altar.

Their appearance and the momentum they emit are also completely different from each other.

Lennok first turned his gaze toward the wall to the left of the altar.

A multi-colored ring that slowly floats and rotates in the air. In the center of the ring is a gem with a unique pattern engraved on it making it look like it resembles an eye.

After entering the necessary magic security code Lennok immediately grabbed the ring and put it on his left index finger.

The name of this ring is [Feigenbaum’s Eye].

It is a relic created by processing the eyeballs of an ancient species living in the imaginary dimension making it possible to peek into the back of the void located on the other side of reality.

The moment the magic is implemented into reality the other side of the magic simultaneously exists on the other side of an imaginary dimension called the void. Using this ring you can directly check the process.

In his mortal days Jindun used this ring to supplement his barrier techniques and to dispel his opponent’s techniques from completely unexpected directions.

‘The most important functions are elsewhere.’

If you are prepared to overload the artifact and draw out the ring’s power at full power it is possible to move the magician’s body to the imaginary dimension for approximately 0.75 seconds.

Of course the laws of physics do not allow real mass to exist in an imaginary dimension so it will return to reality immediately after the 0.75 second transition but where is that?

Although it only lasts for a second the owner of the ring is essentially immune to all physical forces that occur in reality during that split second.

It goes without saying how useful and powerful this ability will be in battles between high-ranking superhumans.

Of course if you use all of the power of the ring the reaction will result in you not being able to use the power of the artifact for a long time but that was enough for Lennok.

After confirming the existence of the ring on his index finger Lennok immediately turned his gaze towards the other side of the altar.

Doo doo doo!!!

The rate at which the center of the cradle is collapsing is abnormally fast.

If things continue like this they will either be forced out of this space before the relics can be properly collected or they will be swept away by the collapse of space and disappear together.

Without hesitation Lennok grabbed the long scroll floating on the other side.

Slap!

A smooth and soft material as if made of silk.

Unknown symbols and characters were written on the scroll’s smooth surface making it difficult to imagine whether anything could be written on it creating a strange pattern.

It was an object that Jindun Zygis Ethernor made himself and carried around with him right before he built the Hanghasa Labyrinth and he called it [Papyrus Argenteus].

In the scroll any magic spell can be written and stored and even level 8 extreme magic can be recorded.

It is a type of relic created so that a spell recorded by consuming part of a page can be immediately implemented without chanting or time constraints.

An artifact that has reached the pinnacle of Memorise which was used by Jindun who used the barrier technique to reduce the relatively long completion time of the technique.

Not only can you record and use extreme magic techniques of up to level 8 but it is also possible to use it as a barrel to store magic power by hitting the entire magic power.

An object that has the compatibility to be summoned according to the summoner’s seal without any special action once recorded.

However even with such a scroll in hand Lennok did not immediately leave the altar but instead concentrated on remembering the unknown letters and symbols that Jindun had previously written inside.

There is no doubt that this scroll itself is a very valuable and powerful artifact but its true value lies not in the scroll itself but in the spells recorded within it.

A control code that acts as a ‘key’ that can forcibly take away the control authority for all artifacts that existed in Jindun’s warehouse.

Jindun left the key code inside this scroll.

‘I guess that means the Ascendant wasn’t a very good person either.’

Jindun did not simply show kindness to those who broke through the labyrinth and awakened him from his slumber.

Did he leave some room so that he could retrieve the artifact he had gifted at any time and control the other person through it?

Thinking about that Lennok felt his mind calm down rather than his heart being overwhelmed by Jindun’s favor.

I don’t know what Zygis was thinking when he faced death and handed over his remains to the leader of Pandemonium or what he was thinking when he passed down his knowledge of barrier arts to Lennok.

The ascendant also moved and reached the conclusion according to reasons and logic that he could understand.

Lennok once again confirmed here that those who transcend the bonds of mortality are not noble saints or seekers who save the world.

Although we cannot doubt his sincerity in passing on all the knowledge and conversation he had with Jindun at the end… the Ascendant was also a living human being with two sides.

Trying not to forget that fact Lennok slowly folded Papyrus Argenteus.

‘When I return to the Balkans the things I have to do have increased significantly…’

In order to properly use the power of this papyrus wouldn’t it be necessary to copy the code written on the scroll somewhere?

There is a lot of research that needs to be done not only to manage the Demon Eye whose condition has deteriorated significantly but also to catch the clues that have reached level 8.

However instead of focusing on reflecting on the harvest he gained from this labyrinth Lennok immediately raised his magic power and rushed out of the altar.

“Whoa whoa…!!”

Coo coo coo coo coo!!!!

This was because the cracks in the cradle which had been constantly collapsing were now really falling down onto Lennok’s back.

“The direction is… that way!!”

Lennok remembered the direction he had walked from starting from the window stone and immediately began to slide in the mist beneath his feet.

Wedge!!

Although he stumbled without proper balance the magic overflowing within Lennok’s body steadily linked his body with the water beneath his feet and pushed him forward.

The Ascendant’s Cradle collapsing into space.

Whether it was complaining about the empty space in the heart of Sasang which had lost its owner the roaring sound that came out as it was violently broken filled the pure white space.

Kwaaaa!!!

As the space collapses the imaginary dimension appears for a moment and the ring [Feigenbaum’s Eye] worn on the left hand operates as it pleases and reflects the image transparently.

Meanwhile Lennok frowned at the sight of the imaginary dimension filling his eyes.

“Should I have adjusted the artifacts in advance…!!”

After suppressing the magic flowing into the ring as much as possible I wander around looking for a crack in the vicinity that leads out of the gate.

As the pure white space shattered and inverted traces of the imaginary dimension rose like waves as if trying to eat Lennok whole.

“I found it…!!”

In the nick of time Lennok saw a gap of pure white light heading out of the gate and without hesitation he flew through it.

At the same time that Lennok’s body disappears between the gaps of light the remaining handful of space collapses shatters and disappears.

“Cow…!!”

A faint roar followed by a moment of silence.

Just like that the cradle where the ascendant had lived for hundreds of years disappeared without leaving a trace.

The entire Sasang region which lost the center that supported the labyrinth began to collapse and collapse in earnest.

Doo doo doo doo doo!!!

* * *

Knock knock.

Drops of blood flowing down my forehead slowly fall through the air.

The red tears flowing down my hot skin float in the air for a while before they reach the end of my legs and form a red puddle.

The height from which the blood fell was approximately ten meters in the air.

Balak looked at the sight and sighed.

“Agent’s bow palace. “I didn’t know it would be this bad.”

“….”

“I never thought I would spend this long alone…”

Instead of answering Evelyn quietly lowered her head.

A towering pillar located between the gateway and the bridge.

Hanging upside down between pillars erected here and there she just silently tied one more arrow to the string.

“…!”

With just that movement those glaring at her from below flinch and some rub the back of their heads with a shocked expression.

The number of people who fell down that bridge with their eyes pierced by her rapid fire is now approaching twenty.

While running away from Balak Oedon’s pursuit he accurately shoots only the heads of those trying to approach the gate.

The skill of thoroughly avoiding a direct confrontation with a level 8 monster while sniping those heading towards the gate was enough to turn the attention that had been focused on Lennok back to her.

Or rather is it an illusion that it seems like there are more people targeting her than the gateway itself?

A sharp sniping that constantly harassed those trying to enter the labyrinth from outside. Additionally there was an avalanche that entered the labyrinth noisily first.

As a result the focus of attention and hostility was growing to the point where it was comparable to the purpose of the labyrinth.

And that was exactly what Evelyn hoped to do to buy Lennok some time.

“Well I don’t want to get into trouble with the Balkan agent but… there is no time to waste now that Jindun’s death has been confirmed. “Excuse me.”

Balak sighed and stretched his hands behind his back.

There are now five remaining bodies floating in the air. He said as he grabbed the neck of the corpse on the far left.

“These corpses are my shield and deterrent processed with special magic. “Not only does it protect me from the aftereffects of my abilities but it also suppresses some of my abilities to allow for smooth thinking.”

“…Are you still relying on the power of others even after leaving the hierarchy?”

Evelyn sneered with a tired face.

“The name ‘Great Power’ must make you cry.”

“Hahaha!! You don’t know. “How dangerous this ability makes me.”

Ballack who burst out in laughter suddenly hardened his face like a devil.

“If I let my guard down even for a moment my supernatural powers try to take over me. It’s natural for your limbs to break while you sleep and you can also crush your internal organs and burst them. A fleeting powerful emotion. Superpowers definitely respond to that.”

Balak’s eyes sparkled as he tapped his temple.

“This happens because the power becomes stronger without proper training and training. That is why most powerful people who did not want to die under their own power went into the mountains and devoted themselves to cultivating the Way. “I believed that mental discipline was the only way to control oneself.”

“…”

“I didn’t want to live that kind of life and I did my best to control this ability to become stronger against my will… but now I’ve given up.”

Balak’s eyes hidden beneath thick flesh flashed.

“I had to accept that turning my desire for destruction towards myself towards others… was the only thing that could control me now.”

A force beyond your control. If unwanted talent reaches its peak it can only be a terrible thing to yourself and others.

Balak Oedon’s own life fully revealed the sorrow of a person with superpowers struggling to control an irresistible force.

It is common to eat and trample others to rise to the top in order to survive but what is a life like when you have to kill others to control your own mind?

Even though she recognized that it was a problem with a lot to think about Evelyn took a deep breath and tried not to think about anything.

All I did was sharply forge an arrowhead onto my neatly bleached brain.

The exact moment when Balak saw Evelyn’s attitude and was about to break the corpse’s neck.

With a flash of light the statue of the evil spirit shattered and a huge monster let out a roar.
