Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 378



Lingering and longing (6)

Whoa…!!

The cold wind blowing between outstretched fingers.

Lennok slowly looked down at his hands fully aware of the cold texture.

Feigenbaum looks into the eyes of the newly placed relic ring on his index finger.

Essentially it is an artifact that helps analyze the other side of a magic trick or boundary line through the imaginary dimension.

Because the ring was used right away in the process of rescuing Evelyn some of its functions are paralyzed but there is one thing that is possible.

Make eye contact and activate the dysfunctional ring.

At the same time he raises the magical eye of his left eye which is in danger of breaking at any moment and faces the pupil of the ring.

The ability to look at the magical eye and the imaginary dimension intersected hundreds of times in a split second and Lennok’s consciousness began to stretch infinitely.

Jeeeeee profit…!!

Everything around you slows down with a noise like paper being slowly torn.

It is the infinite division of consciousness that he used to communicate with Lennok during Jindun’s last conversation.

I can’t try it with a clear mind yet but by combining the abilities of the ring and the magic eye the sense of consciousness feels infinitely slow.

Standing in a similar timeline Lennok quickly completed a series of calculations and returned to reality.

Faaah!!

“Whoa…!!”

As he let out a low sigh and raised his magic power countless magic snakes stretched out between Lennok’s fingers and stuck to the bottom of the floating island.

Churrrrrrrr!!

At the same time the dirt and stones that make up the island begin to break down and quickly scatter downward.

The speed of the lighter floating island will increase but if this happens the time for maintaining the island will be shorter.

“Evan? “What now…?”

With a puzzled expression Lapis opened her mouth and then began to look down blankly.

The piles of dirt that seemed to have fallen randomly from Lennok’s magic thread began to fall from the bottom of the island and dry something.

A vast earthen maze drawn like a painting in the middle of a vast snow field.

As soon as the earthen maze containing Lennok’s magic is completed the snow in the snowfield rises in response reinforcing the thickness of the walls.

The labyrinth that quickly built under the ground trapped the watchers and pursuers who were fighting at the bottom of the floating island.

Coo coo coo coo…!!!

[Run forward.]

Immediately after Lennok’s roar echoed from above the floating island.

All of the observers who heard those words began to move without the slightest hesitation.

“Catch him if he runs away!!”

“Run into the maze!”

“What can you idiots do with this hastily constructed labyrinth…!”

The pursuers also immediately ran to chase after the floating island but as soon as they entered the labyrinth they noticed something strange and raised their heads.

Da da da da da!!

Even though you are running at the same speed the feeling of distance moving away much faster than when you started.

Unlike the watchers who escape to the other side as soon as they enter the labyrinth the pursuers cannot move forward even if they break the walls of the labyrinth.

Only then did the pursuers realize what Lennok had done and their mouths widened in shock.

“Large-scale spatial distortion… This level of spatial interference caused by a crude pile of dirt…!!”

“Is this a way to specify each entity that enters the labyrinth and assign a different sense of distance to them?!”

“Blue Eyes how can such a miracle be accomplished without even using the realm…!!”

Other observers who were watching the scene from behind also guessed what Lennok was doing and held their breath in silence.

Jin Dun’s entire history. Lennok’s Small Labyrinth which somewhat imitates parts of the Small Labyrinth.

Lennok succeeded in realizing the distortion of space that moves differently and becomes distorted within the labyrinth even if only for a moment by using Jindun’s barrier technique and magic power.

A countless maze of crossroads that diverge embodying each person’s potential and timeline differently.

The imitation was possible because Lennok not only observed the principle from beginning to end but also met Jindun in person and received the answer.

Although it was extremely crude compared to the real body of the Hanghasa Labyrinth its effect was clear.

The pursuers realizing that smashing one or two walls of the maze was useless quickly escaped the maze but it was already too late.

The floating island which had gained speed with its lighter body and the observers who had climbed back on it were moving away toward the end of the snowy field.

In this situation where the difference in magic power has already been realized it is fatal for the distance to widen so drastically.

The pursuers who quickly recognized the situation stopped first and some who were slow to turn their heads had their entire bodies exploded by the bombs fired from the end of the island.

Kwaaaa!!

The sight of a floating island fading beyond the blizzard while the pursuers swallow bitter water amidst the sounds of explosions rising from all over the snowy field.

“Damn it… considering they aren’t active in the North Continent it was actually our last chance.”

“It’s not for nothing that he quickly grew into a hegemon in the East. “Not everyone has average skills.”

“If that’s the case we might have to face each other on the central front sooner or later.”

“Go back. “It would be better to search among the remains of the Hanghasa Labyrinth.”

Those who were staring at the island with eyes dripping with regret began to turn around one by one.

* * *

As soon as you leave the snowy field a dry forest made up of dry old trees comes into view.

The slender trees boast a height of nearly several meters and are lined up in a row with a cold lake in between.

The extremely tranquil northern forest.

As if the serenity of not a single tremor on the lake was a lie.

A huge floating island floated up and landed on the lake.

Kwaaaaaa!!

The entire weight falls onto the water turning the thinly frozen surface of the lake over.

The waves crashed as if there was a storm in the middle of the ocean spitting out all the water that had accumulated in the lake.

The floating island half turned upside down and stuck was unable to overcome its own power and jumped out of the lake traversing the middle of the forest for a long time.

The trees that had stood majestically were broken and pushed away like chopsticks scattering dust in all directions.

“Cluck cluck!!”

“I feel uncomfortable….”

“Is everyone okay?”

One by one observers covered in dust stood up on the shattered fragments of the floating island.

The warriors who came to their senses first quickly began to look around retracing the path the floating island had taken.

“…Nothing?”

“okay. “It seems like all pursuit has been abandoned.”

When asked in a weak voice one person responded.

“If it weren’t for Evan we might have had to fight for half a day. “Things turned out easier than expected.”

“No if you think about it the reason the island suddenly got stuck in the lake was because Evan took the dirt from the floating island and used it as he wanted.”

“I did my best. “Can you say that even after looking at me?”

“Wow….”

The observers fell silent as they saw Lennoc with a pale complexion holding on to a nearby fallen tree and retching.

In reality I just got sick of seasickness for a short time while I was stuck on the floating island but on the outside it seemed like I was doing my best for the people watching and ended up in trouble.

The mood of those watching Lennok’s bent back became solemn.

“…There is a reason why Lapis cares so much about that wizard.”

“Your skills and judgment are extraordinary not to mention the fact that you were dealing with the three monsters from the Magic Tower and the Flyer alone in the deepest part of the labyrinth.”

“Even if you’re not yet a watcher it’s worth inviting you to the summons. “Where did a man like that appear?”

Meanwhile Evelyn who had come to her senses was patting Lennok’s back with a worried look on her face.

“Spit it out spit it out.”

“If you hit my back like that for just a moment….”

“They say it’s better to just throw up.”

Evelyn’s hand pats on his back really exquisitely stimulate Lennok’s empty stomach and make him vomit its contents.

Lennok who had unintentionally vomited in front of her turned his head with a wrinkled face.

“…I never imagined that I would run out of motion sickness medication. “I’ll have to make up for it when I get back.”

In preparation for this journey I brought a lot of all kinds of medicine but I ended up using it all up while going back and forth between the snowy field and the labyrinth floating island.

Before turning his attention to other matters Lennok asked Lapis who was wandering nearby the first thing that came to mind.

“What is Grisha’s condition?”

“…here it is.”

Grisha is leaning against the tree behind Lapis and waving his hand with a haggard expression.

Ironically even that appearance looked better than Lennok’s briefly seasick complexion.

Lennok who was looking at Grisha’s face took out a potion from his arms and offered it to her.

Grisha who was sweating profusely saw that and opened his eyes and laughed.

“After going into the labyrinth you became strangely polite. “You couldn’t possibly have been taught etiquette by the ascendant right?”

Lennok also laughed lightly at Grisha’s joking words even as he opened the potion lid.

“Seeing that he is friends with a level 8 summoner makes me feel his age.”

“Ah Nora… It’s already been over 50 years since she became the godmother of the Enolas Tower.”

Grisha said shrugging his shoulders hesitantly.

“Enolas is one of the most powerful magic towers in the southern continent. “If Nora says that she will probably get help sometime in the future.”

“Thanks to you. “Until I saw your face it seemed like you could easily kill me.”

“Hehe… Nora has been extremely hot-tempered since she was young. Even with people I fought like I was going to kill I often became friends and then turned into enemies. “Because of her eccentric nature she may still have survived and become the Godmother of the Magic Tower.”

Grisha smiled bitterly as if he was looking back on memories from a long time ago.

“I’m glad that our old relationship helped me in some way. “I barely did anything in this matter.”

“….”

That said without her existence maintaining a floating island like this would not have been possible.

However Grisha seemed to feel quite a bit of responsibility for not being able to directly participate in the labyrinth’s work.

Instead of offering her some trivial consolation Lennok glanced around and asked her something else.

“It seems like you are familiar with Oliveira Ron Mays. Can you briefly explain the story?”

For the sake of Myan’s bot I have to go see her separately.

Jenny said that when Oliveira came to visit her she was interested in the doll that Grisha had given her.

When Grisha is looking back on past events you should ask about her to get general information.

However when Grisha heard her name rather than showing any special reaction he smiled awkwardly.

“Oliviera… It’s a name I haven’t heard in quite a while. “I’m sorry but unlike Nora I don’t have much to tell you about her.”

“What does it mean?”

“Once Olivia settled in the big city she became a completely different person.”

“….”

“After that we were only occasionally aware of each other’s existence and never encountered each other. “I only heard rumors that they were only holding on to unknown research after the failure of the project.”

Black consumers in megacities. Ascension Gate of the Machine City. A night tour of the military city.

Each of them is a project aimed at realizing a major and magnificent miracle and all of them are by-products of the past that remain as miserable failures.

Grisha is saying that Oliveira Ron Mays is also one of the people directly involved in the project.

“There was a time when everyone was full of hope. “There was a time when I believed I could dedicate myself to a miracle bigger than myself… Now it’s all meaningless.”

Grisha mutters to himself in an empty voice.

Her voice slowly fades as she massages her temples with a tired expression.

“But I still… I won’t regret it…”

Lennok who was looking down at Grisha who had instantly fallen asleep with his head down as if the batteries had run out slowly stood up.

It is natural that Grisha’s body is not normal after moving the floating island at high speed for over half a day.

No matter how massive the main force is it is an unreasonable operation that is difficult to think of with common sense for a living body.

On the contrary it feels strange that Grisha falls asleep safely despite using his main power like that.

Lapis who was watching from the side carefully covered Grisha’s body with the coat that was hanging on his shoulder.

“Considering how strong Grisha is he might not wake up for about a day.”

“Okay… I guess I’ll have no choice but to rest in this forest.”

The moment Lennok let out a small sigh and muttered a heavy roar sounded right behind him.

Wow!!

It was the sound made by the dog-headed giant Lafferd as he placed the luggage he was carrying on the ground.

Lennok smiled bitterly when he realized that it was a pile of firewood made by chopping down all the nearby trees.

Ziel who was moving the bales used in the tent was nagging from the side.

“We need to light a fire and get ready for bed before night falls so move quickly. “What are you still hesitating about?”

Watchers from all directions clear away stones and trees to make a place to sleep and pitch tents.

Some people started a bonfire while others searched for food on the collapsed floating island and started cooking.

The watchers who naturally set watch alert and stand guard are extremely skillful as if they have never done this before or twice.

In front of those people watching Lapis shrugged her shoulders with a triumphant expression.

“Ahem.”

“…Why are you so proud?”

Even as Lennok asked that question he quickly smiled and turned his head towards the darkening sky.

As I left the snowy field I felt that the previously cold air had become warmer and the speed at which the sun was setting had slowed down a bit.

Summoned to the snowy plains of the North Continent they camped outside the labyrinth and then raced inside the labyrinth until they finally met the Ascendant and received an answer.

It was finally starting to dawn on me that the long long work in the Northern Continent was finally coming to an end.

* * *

Lennok and Evelyn stayed in the forest with the watchers for the whole day after that.

The observers seemed to have guessed that Lennok had come to meet Jindun but he did not mention it first.

The first thing they saw the moment they arrived inside the labyrinth was the sight of Lennok and Evelyn fainting as they confronted the three superhumans alone.

Everyone was guessing how fierce the battle had been between the two people in the labyrinth before they reached there and how incredible it was.

In particular I was impressed by Lennok’s prowess as he took his time fighting two level 8s and a level 7.

There were no longer any observers protesting Lennok’s qualifications.

On the contrary most of them seemed to be impressed by the help Lennok had given them in escaping the snowy plains and they approached him in a more friendly manner.

“I don’t know what Evan said before you arrived….”

“You don’t believe that do you? “I always trust my boss’s insight.”

“Don’t be damned Lapis. As a birthday present this bastard gave me a magical engineering teddy bear…”

“Hey hey be quiet!!”

“They just look at me as a child… This is why the organization’s discipline is like this… We need to get rid of this rude guy as soon as possible…”

Although he was only among them for one night Lennok could clearly sense the bond that existed among the watchers.

It’s not just because they’re working toward a common goal but because Lapis worked hard to make Blue’s eyes look like this.

Lennok understood the lighthouse keeper’s desire to make the Blue Eye not just a place to live but a place where people with various abilities would want to be together.

Lennok also got along well with the observers but was unable to explain to them what had happened with the Ascendant.

The conversations and secrets shared with Jindun are deeply related to Lennok’s essential roots.

Regardless of thinking that Cheong’s eyes were trustworthy I had to choose my words carefully.

Instead Lennok separately told Lapis and Evelyn that the leader of Pandemonium had appeared and personally took Jindun’s life.

Considering her position and interests in declaring an all-out confrontation with Bokmajeon I thought it would be right to tell them this one thing in advance.

Lapis stayed up all night without sleep after hearing Lennok’s words.

Once her worries are over she will discuss with trusted people what Bokmajeon is aiming for and what it wants.

Lennok thought that from there it was a matter of Lapis’ choice.

Early morning the next day.

Lennok stood with Evelyn facing the observers.

Lapis who was standing in front of the line of observers looked up at the two people without saying a word.

“Are you sure it’s okay if you don’t go back together?”

“There is an agent branch in a nearby city. If you get a train ticket from there you will be able to return to the city in three days.”

Evelyn patted Lapis’ worried words on her shoulder.

“Evan agreed so we’re going back there. “I’ve been away from my job as an agent for too long.”

“People who live in the city can’t understand why you work like that and then go back to work again.”

Witch doctor Rence laughed at Ziel’s words as he scratched his bushy head.

“The values ​​that each person cherishes are different. “If I can be where I need to be when I need it like today that’s enough.”

“The lighthouse keeper is too soft. “The doctrine of salvation is that even if you sacrifice everything and devote yourself to a goal it is not enough.”

“Don’t say such boring things. Does Lapis seem like that kind of person?”

Lennok and Lapis laughed together as they saw Lafferd and the young vampire begin to argue.

“It would be nice if I could say hello to other watchers next time.”

“I only heard the story roughly. “It is a pity that we did not see any observers who reached level 8.”

I knew from the previous meeting that among the newly recruited observers there were some with the highest level of ability.

It would have been nice to have been able to meet them at least once before getting a feel for the situation but each situation is different.

Blue Eyes is currently active not only in this snowy field but also in various parts of the continent so it was natural that there were busy observers.

When Lapis heard Lennok’s words she looked at him slightly and asked.

“Next time will Evan be standing in the same place as them?”

“well….”

Lennok only smiled bitterly and could not give a clear answer.

I had a rough idea of ​​how to get off the road. I think we already have the direction and method in hand.

However from now on it was entirely up to Lennok himself.

Lennok has always believed in himself and had confidence but this time it was difficult to guarantee what outcome would await him at the end.

“What do you plan to do?”

“Thanks to Evan for telling me the story about my grandmother my worries are over.”

“….”

Words about Cheongyeon that were briefly exchanged during the conversation with Jindun.

Jin-Dun’s despairing prophecy that there would be no fourth and the reason why Cheon-Gyeon acted like that.

Even after hearing the truth from the mouth of the ascendant Lapis did not change.

She had been determined from the beginning to move forward no matter what answer she received.

“Up until now we have continued our activities centered on the eastern region and increased our strength but from now on we also plan to move towards the front lines.”

“If it’s a wire….”

There were several front lines that could have been mentioned from the mouth of the head of the Blue Eye but Lennok seemed to know where Lapis meant.

Even now decades later it is a battlefield where the most intense battles in the world take place.

A battlefield where the greatest power and will on the entire continent clash.

“The final legacy left behind in the central city of Arsnova… From now on Blue Eyes will stand at a turning point to obtain that legacy and save the world.”

Guido Church Spell Federation Ability Enlightenment Flyer Ether Garden countless powerful magic towers and martial arts.

Lapis was planning to step forward to the central front where everyone was turning their attention.
