Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 450
by Jessie@AFNCC
Well border (3)
Contrary to his sloppy words and actions did Jin Dun have any knowledge of barrier techniques?
A maze that trapped shamans through magicians. It was not an overt development of the barrier but merely a melting of its principles.
However the clown only confirmed the composition and principle of the maze and guessed that it was Jindun’s barrier technique and was interrogating Lennok.
“These days it seems that specialty magicians are using such high-level barrier techniques at will. “The world has changed so much.”
“….”
“I’m not a transparent person but there is a degree. “Isn’t that right?”
The appearance of a clown smiling and hissing the blade in his hand.
“I couldn’t do anything because Reya interrupted me earlier but shouldn’t I check what I need to check before moving on?”
His face was filled with excitement as if he couldn’t bear to endure the current situation but Lennok didn’t attach much importance to it.
Even as he moves back and forth in front of Lennok’s eyes the clown’s eyes do not leave Lennok’s mask.
He doesn’t want to interrogate Lennok or fight him directly to settle the matter.
I’m just trying to shake Lennok like this cross the line and constantly check his reaction.
Whether you get angry calmly explain the reason or come up with a plausible excuse the clown will only have more fun.
Therefore instead of denying or avoiding the clown’s words Lennog chuckled.
“They have no idea what kind of person Jin Dun is.”
“…What?”
“It looks like he stabbed me once just by looking at the traces of the barrier technique but there’s nothing I can tell you even if you act like you caught the gun.”
The clown only vaguely knows what Jindun’s barrier technique feels like but has no idea about its true value or how it was obtained.
If Lennok truly inherited Jindun’s barrier technique and was confident in its value there would be no reason to take such an ambiguous attitude.
Lennok saw through this and succeeded in finding out how much the clown knew about Jindun.
It seems that if you shake Lennok with an unexpected keyword he will spit out information that can be guessed about the identity behind the mask.
Lennok was horribly annoyed at the idea of trying to punish someone like this.
“…Ummmm.”
The clown tilted his head to one side as if this wasn’t what he was doing and then scrunched up his expression as if he didn’t like it.
“This isn’t the reaction I expected… Can we just take off that mask and talk about it?”

At that moment the communicator rang loudly from the clown’s waist.
Freya’s loud shout echoes through the crackling noise.
[Fuck it’s finally connected…!! If you don’t crawl out quickly…!! What nonsense… half a day…!!]
“….”
Even when the words are intermittently interrupted you can understand the meaning and emotions contained in them.
The clown sighed slumped his shoulders and nodded.
“…Shall we go?”
“Sure.”
The bloody atmosphere that had been used to interrogate Lennok just moments ago was completely replaced by the appearance of a clown leading the way with his back turned defenselessly.
It was strange but Lennok had no intention of putting in any unnecessary effort to understand him.
“Anyway I got reckless and almost got lost in the middle of the jungle. Something really big would have happened~”
Rather the clown started talking to Lennoc non-stop twirling his five blades as if he was aching from not being able to talk for a while.
“I am lucky in nature so cases like this don’t happen very often so I have to think of it as a big deal. “Is there anything else you can do?”
“….”
“This is definitely a problem with my technique. Well I guess I can’t give up the thrill of leaving my fate to luck… hehe.”
“It sure looks like he’s not in his right mind.”
Lennok quietly listened to the clown’s nonsense and then snorted.
It is certain that a clown’s power is largely related to the number of dice he throws.
The idea of leaving life-or-death battles to one’s own luck did not seem sane but that is why it is difficult to predict how strong the clown’s abilities will be.
Having one’s abilities depend on luck is itself a powerful Geass and bondage.
Just by looking at his visible achievements it seems clear that he is a level 7 or higher superhuman but how much power is given to someone with such abilities when the greatest luck runs out?
Perhaps the reason why this man rather than the commander or leader is responsible and leading this operation is-
“Well it’s almost time so let’s go to the well. Since I kicked the ladder this hard I’m probably going to be a useless distraction for a while… hmm?”
The clown who kicked the body of Kayern whose head he had cut off fell down muttered as if he had finally realized it.
“These guys were shamans from Mangrok’s spell.”
“Out of all the guys that passed this way he was the most persistent.”
Lennok answered by gathering magic threads spread out in all directions and restoring magic power.
“We responded more carefully than expected so it took some time to kill everyone.”
In fact there were quite a few people who tried to pass through the forest occupied by Lennok other than Maengnok’s mainstay.
A group of troops or private soldiers who secretly followed the path cleared by mercenaries or expedition shamans who had trekked through the jungle all night and arrived near a well.
All of them had their limbs cut off by Lennok’s magic spell which they could not see properly and either became prey to animals or plants or just ran away.
Among them only the shamans were the most persistent and meticulous and survived to see Lennok’s face.
“Ah… that’s a shame.”
The clown sighed after hearing Lennok’s words.
“The leader who leads Mangrok’s banquet had already talked to me a long time ago and walked away.”
“what?”
“They killed their crying friend with their own hands without knowing that the leader had abandoned them…”

The face of the clown who said that was smiling brightly as if he was crying.
“This is why I can’t easily quit this job.”
“….”
“Hehe then shall we go now?”
The clown who smiled strangely at Lennok who was silent passed by Lennok and began to lead the way.
“There is no need to maintain a cordon from now on. “I only disturbed you because I was afraid that people who don’t know the subject would touch the well before the time was up.”
He skillfully turns several thin blades with one hand while rattling dice with the other.
“Rather from now on I hope people will gather closer to the altar. “You’ll see something interesting.”
“It’s been quite some time since dawn.”
Lennok ignored the clown’s words and looked away.
“If Gyebaek has arrived there should be signs soon. “Is it time yet?”
“no. The appointment time will be accurate. “That’s the plan.”
As the clown said this he pointed to the sky outside the jungle.
“It’s already starting to show right?”
Grumbling…!!
The sky slowly turning black from far away in the jungle.
It is completely different from simply setting the sun and the day becoming dark and becoming night.
A monster of ideas that spreads the energy of death everywhere just by existing and captures living creatures and binds them to its Geass.
Gyebaek a fallen man who had gone mad after failing to ascend followed the southern coast of the continent and finally arrived in the jungle.
The clown looked at the darkening sky with an ecstatic expression and nodded.
“I’m sure Leya and Glenn have already checked. “We also move.”
* * *
Lennok and the Clown soon returned to the outskirts of the city and reunited with Reya.
Glenn too must have been involved in a fierce battle at the cordon just moments ago and all of his dozens of troops were in tatters.
“Fuck I haven’t watched the whole drama yet… Can’t I just take this with me?”
“Anyway when time comes such simple electronic devices will fail.”
“Hey what do you know? “Is this a laptop that directly catches satellite signals and sends them to you?”
“…Are you wasting the satellite’s power on something like that?”
A clown mumbling something absurd and Freya bickering.
Reya who had already changed back into her fancy clothes was holding a microphone attached to a holder in one hand.
Lennok calmed his gaze as he stared at them from behind.
A carefree appearance that makes it hard to believe that he faced a clash between the ascenders.
Even at this very moment it feels unfamiliar to Lennok who is sensing the presence of countless superhumans desperately running from all over the jungle.
None of the three clowns Glenn and Reya could see and confirm the ability with their own eyes but no matter how powerful and unusual the ability is how could they be so calm?
Either you have something to believe in or you’re just crazy enough not to lose your pace even in this situation.
And from what Lennok has worked with so far he seems closer to the latter.
“it’s okay. “If I talk to a bastard like you for a long time it only makes me feel dirty.”
Reya who was in the middle of a fight over the whereabouts of the laptop waved her hands as if she was fed up.
“You know I can’t get far from the airship right? It’s up to you to pull the well from the altar. “I’ll just do my own thing when I have time.”
“Isn’t that what we gathered together to do? Please take good care of your body. “When you start a lot of attention will be on you Reya.”
“Ha I wonder who this is worrying about… go.”
Reya is strangely confident.
It is certain that he is a superhuman who uses magical powers but looking at his strength and the state of his body he is by no means a person with physical abilities.
What kind of abilities do you have that makes you feel so confident? Why is the clown and Glenn unable to treat her carelessly?
Now you can check everything.
Leaving behind Reya who began to move busily near the airship the three headed straight inside the collapsed ancient city.
The remains of a city built by piling up old rocks.
Countless moss and wild grasses have grown between the fragments of the street that have collapsed due to many years and various shocks turning it a greenish-brown color.
Stone statues of unknown meaning and strange ancient script fallen all over the place.
And at this moment the roaring sound coming from the outskirts of the city without stopping and the sky darkening beyond the dawning morning sunlight.
The clown spoke in the middle of the city square which had not yet lost its tranquility despite the chaos going on outside.
“In fact it was not the time for the well of handbooks to appear. “Do you know?”
“no.”
The clown grinned at Lennok’s harsh answer and continued.
“I have no way of knowing what you explained so I’ll do it again. The Ascendant’s Handbook is one of the transcendentals who have inherited their mission from generation to generation. He is similar to the Heavenly Gyeon who guarded the lighthouse and observed the open sea to postpone destruction.”
“….”
“The well she guards is one of the largest cracks in time and space in this closed world… In other words it is a passage that can be directly connected to the open sea.”
“so?”
“That’s why it’s closed with such a strong seal and to summon him you have to pay a huge price.”
The clown took his gaze away from Lennok and pointed to the end of the square.
The appearance of a huge altar that did not lose its presence even in the square where the city collapsed.
A huge circular ring decoration is installed at the top of the altar which is shaped like a huge tetrahedron like a pyramid.
And thousands of stairs made to climb up to the ring.
For a moment the clown spoke without even noticing Lennok’s shoulders shaking due to an inexplicable chill.
“It is said that in the past the ancient people who built a civilization in this jungle opened a well and summoned the Ascendant to offer sacrifices by offering the hearts of 10000 living humans.”
“…what?”
“If you think about what I’m going to do from now on it’s not that different.”
As the clown said that and snapped his fingers at Glenn dozens of Glenns who had been following without saying a word all pulled out daggers from their arms.
Phew!!
At the same time without the slightest hesitation Glens slit his own chest with a knife and took out his heart all of which placed the heart at their feet and collapsed.
“Kihihi it’s also professional work.”
A satisfied smile formed on the clown’s lips as he picked up the heart that was slowly pulsing and spurting blood.
“I always feel this when I work with Glenn but there are few partners who are as effective at using the golden art of human sacrifice as this guy. “A life of letting go of everything and conforming is actually the most immoral thing.”
Lennok who only then realized how the clown was planning to use Glenn frowned deeply inside his mask.
“…Was this manpower from the beginning intended to be used as a golden technique for human sacrifice? “It’s not even the first time something like this has happened.”
“Wow was this such a cruel sight for a wizard of the space system who was raised so preciously?”
Slam!!
The clown threw the heart he was holding on the floor and took out a dice with a grin.
“Still I can’t help it. I don’t know if you or the leader would know but I much prefer this method. “Isn’t that convenient?”
The dice that fell from the clown’s hand slowly rolled on the floor.
One two three four five six seven eight.
The clown who rolled eight dice on the floor at the same time grinned.
“What a great business it is to be able to make fortunes with a mere human life.”
Sigh!!
As the dice roll I inhale the blood that has pooled on the floor.
As the green cross section turned red and even the scales of the dice began to glow white as they were soaked in blood the rotation of the dice became even more strange.
Click click click!!
The dice which seemed like they would stop at any moment roll a few more turns and change the number that appears.
It was as if what scale would be shown had been decided from the beginning.
[6] [6] [6] [6] [6] [6] [6] [6]
The moment all eight dice indicated the highest score the blood-soaked dice crumbled and turned into dust.
At the same time a sound as if something is breaking is heard from inside the clown’s body.
Explosive magic power exploded from his body spreading huge shock waves throughout the square.
Kwahiah ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh !!!
“This is…!!”
A presence so heavy and dull that even Lennok was startled for a moment. An appearance of magical power so eerie and strange that it is hard to believe that it is the same person.
The clown’s body is gradually deteriorating as he emits a transcendent yet magnificent presence.
Crump-dap-duk-dud-duk-dud-duk!!
The skeleton and muscle mass of the bone are reassembled on the spot transforming the entity itself into something completely different.
A figure that has a human shape but is changing into something other than human.
Both of the clown’s pupils lost focus and spun around illuminating the whites of the pupils and the pupils alternately causing the lenses to turn pitch black.
On the contrary the skin of his entire body turns white like his powdered face and the corners of his mouth are torn long and fixed into a strange smile.
The entire body including the limbs has become elongated and stooped and the figure is like a devil who came up from hell wearing a clown mask.
thud!!
As soon as I stepped forward with my long upwardly curved foot the floor of the square burned black and charred following my footsteps.
The clown quietly looked down at his body tapped his shoulder and muttered.
Before he knew it his voice had changed from a mouth to a horrifying scream that echoed through his entire body.
[I think I roughly broke through the top but I’m not sure if this is enough. It’s been quite a while since I’ve rolled the dice of fate this much… Hmm.]
“…You’re out of your mind.”
Lennok watched the scene closely from the side and shook his head.
“If you play with the hierarchy like that your entire image will be burned to the ground. “What you are doing is not touching cause and effect.”
[Oh my.]
The clown tilted his head strangely and grinned.
[Seeing that you mentioned cause and effect it seems like you have a rough understanding of what I am.]
What the clown just did was not at the level of simply amplifying the power by raising the high point of the dice.
Forcibly creating luck that could not exist in the first place through human sacrifice and imposing a hierarchy beyond its limits on one’s body.
A deception created by using the clown’s own imagination and the elaborately twisted ability of Geass to deceive his own unique reality to the limit.
It is a complete joke on the basic law itself which states that there must be a cause for there to be an effect.
It was interesting in itself that the clown’s ability could intervene in cause and effect itself but there was no need to talk about the extent of the side effects of deceiving the hierarchy in this way.
After the duration of the ability called the Dice of Destiny expires there will be aftereffects that would make death more unpleasant.
The spirit that has been swept away by the power created by the golden art of human sacrifice rather than the original talent or ability will literally turn into a rag.
However the clown shook his head even after hearing Lennok’s brutal sentence.
[There is nothing we can do. In order to interfere with the timeline with my genjutsu I have to inflate the weight class itself.]
“A timeline?”
[Kihihi as a result interfering with space-time is a level 8 privilege but isn’t there a very small number of monsters that can actually mess with time even among those with the highest abilities?]
As the clown said that he bent over and hung his head forward.
At that moment his elongated body distorted as if a haze was spreading and appeared at the top of the altar hundreds of meters in the air.
[Hyunlab is not an imbecile being who would show his or her head only by sacrificing a few humans. So… from now on I will slightly deceive the timeline of the altar.]
chin!!
The clown whispered holding on to a magnificent circular ring with a radius of hundreds of meters with both hands.
[To the moment when this city she loved was still alive and breathing.]
