Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 465



Where promises intersect (7)

After sending Chen away Lennok closed the door and walked onto the grass where the coffin was located.

As I carefully pushed off the dusty old coffin lid a slow noise rang out.

Sigh…!!

The appearance of a faint crack deep inside a worn pipe.

Rather than simply staying in one place it is wriggling little by little and changing positions from within.

Lennok recognized that it was not simply a blemish on the coffin but one of the few cracks left in this world.

The fundamental reason why the Eight Roaring Citadel was created and continues to exist and the crack in the world that still remains and is protected by the citadel.

Although it was not large enough to directly connect to the open sea it was large enough to observe study and understand the basic cross-sections that make up the world.

After dealing with Apostle Walter Martinez Lennok devoted himself to improving his understanding of space and time and finding ways to manipulate it.

‘I couldn’t properly understand the sense of manipulating time.’

“….”

Is it possible now to get the sense of the timeline that I gave up back then?

It may not be impossible. The gap between Lennok who killed the apostle at the time and Lennok now was at a level that was difficult for even himself to realize.

But even though Lennok clearly understood this he had no intention of touching the timeline right away.

Because it was only after coming this far taking a step forward and looking back that I was able to understand how delicate and relative a concept time is.

I can be sure because I have once taken Archangel’s Tears which helps restore the body’s condition.

An ability that is absurdly fruitless compared to the resources that must be invested is unfair and is also extremely dangerous.

This is clear considering that even the King of Pandemonium was not particularly fond of manipulating timelines.

There was a high possibility that you would get angry if you rashly touched it at this point.

Therefore Lennok completely shook off his lingering feelings about time manipulation which he had not yet obtained and focused on what he had originally wanted to do.

Sweep your fingers between the cracks and let magic and consciousness flow deep through them.

Keyee…!!

A closed world where the cycle of cause and effect has stopped. A very faint crack in that world.

However if even the smallest crack exists can we conclude that it has truly closed?

In that sense the well of the handbook which served as a gateway directly to the open sea seemed to Lennok to be a very strange concept.

Even if there are several more such gateways than just one well why do all the ascenders say that this world is closed and waiting for the end?

Does this mean that the flow of cause and effect once stopped does not circulate through the gateway?

‘That’s a meaningless question.’

As long as there is no clear knowledge about the flow of cause and effect or the existence of a gateway curiosity will only continue.

Lennok quickly gathered his thoughts and tried to stick to his original goal.

In other words this is a cross section through which one can observe the foundations that make up the world and in a sense a passage leading to the open sea.

Of course with Lennok’s stature and size it is impossible to export or bring something in through a crack that is not even the size of a needle’s crack but it is different when you see it.

By touching the left eye the purple magical eye is unleashed and the shared vision is pushed into the crack.

At the same time Lennok’s consciousness suddenly flickered and he felt as if he was drifting far away.

Keyee…!!

“Ugh….”

Even the moans that were inadvertently let out slowly become swept away by the flow of time.

Slowly forming a seal between the cracks that move much slower than consciousness and drawing up magical power.

Ugh…!!

There is a strange sensation of boiling magic assembling and stacking up like blocks and a noise as if a key is being fitted rings out one after another.

Lennok’s own imagery flows little by little onto the achromatic waves prepared in this way.

[Magnetic field development: observation of branch point]

Paaaaa!!!

At that moment the void that burst out from beneath Lennok’s feet covered the entire Beecher creating a huge cavity of darkness.

A dark void where no light can be seen.

The only thing left on the other side of the void is the ripples of golden light spreading out beneath one’s feet and the image of the coffin next to it.

Lennok slowly stood up fully feeling the mana that was being consumed like crazy from the moment the area was deployed.

Since awakening the magnetic realm for the first time this is actually the first time that the realm has been deployed without an opponent to defeat.

There was no other reason why I projected the image once more at this time leaving behind numerous powerful enemies and difficulties.

Gyebaek’s final Geass which even the clown who led the plan did not know about in detail.

‘Try to ascend to heaven once again.’

Why did Gyebaek throw himself out of the well without hesitation the moment Geass awakened to challenge him to ascend to heaven?

Why did you run out into the open sea and use yourself as a bullet towards the end?

Why was such a grandiose plan carried out by activating the last hidden Geass without any prior work?

I kept thinking about it over and over again in the back of my mind and eventually became convinced.

The fact that the way to challenge for ascension is not simply to transcend the hierarchy and obtain qualifications.

Gyebaek undoubtedly chose the closest method to challenge for ascension once again at that point and moved according to Geass.

The only way to do that was to run out into the open sea and throw yourself toward an end that you could never understand.

The more Lennok slowly pondered and realized what those words meant the more he was able to understand the true purpose of Pandemonium.

Not a single word that Myeong had told Lennok was astray.

A clash between two ascendants. The opening of a passage to the open sea and the sight of the end.

In the meantime Lennok came to understand what Pandemonium’s leadership truly wanted.

The ending that comes when the sky opens is not governed by the endings of the open sea.

Only those monsters swimming in the open sea with incomprehensible strength and potential can avoid the coming destruction and move on.

Pandemonium is not simply about saving the world by opening a path to the next world.

Perhaps what the leader hopes for is an end beyond the endlessly circulating world and beyond…

“…”

Stop the endless thoughts.

Didn’t you tell Hilea that there was no point in thinking for a long time about an unanswerable problem?

What Lennok was attempting now was not the kind of thing he could succeed in with his head in overdrive.

Close your eyes concentrate your mind and project all remaining images onto the board you prepared with all your might.

A dazzling golden kaleidoscope began to emerge through the void of the dark realm.

Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

A noise as if dozens of airplane engines were rotating simultaneously and exploding majestically echoed through the void.

A kaleidoscope of dozens of branches began to appear above Lennok’s head as if looking down on him.

However Lennok ignored the scenery shining through the dazzling golden light and focused all his attention on the old coffin lying at his feet.

To be precise a crack in the world that is slowly writhing inside the coffin. Among the faint traces that are not even a handful.

The kaleidoscope that projects Lennok’s image is not an omnipotent force that draws out all existing possibilities.

The power to observe look back on and manifest possibilities and turning points that are connected to Lennok the owner of the domain from a future perspective.

Therefore aren’t the areas that Lennok has been using up until now either related to Lennok himself or implemented as an extension of the power he possessed?

Same thing.

I came back after seeing the full story of the scenery of the open sea which I had only heard about through rumors but never seen in person.

Because I truly felt what it meant to have possibilities that exist outside of this world.

Lennok was able to attempt to develop a magnetic field based on the possibility related to the power of the open ocean.

The reason I came to the crack in the fortress was because I was convinced that this was the place most environmentally similar to the well in the handbook.

Even if the crack is small enough to not directly illuminate the open sea there is no doubt that in some sense this is the place most connected to the outside of the world.

If as Lennok thought a new realm could be realized through the possibilities of the open sea.

If only Lennok could confirm his path and branching point from this realized future point of view.

Wouldn’t it be possible to find out the fundamental reason why Lennok himself woke up in this world?

After crossing both hands over the crack gather the images and spread them over the crack.

Whoa!!

The kaleidoscope that emerged from behind Lennok’s crossed hands suddenly turned dark black and burned.

Using the crack as a catalyst the landscape inside the kaleidoscope which had received the possibility of an open ocean began to distort.

Cracking crackling…!!!

“no way….?”

I did not expect that a single attempt would yield meaningful results but the scenery beyond the kaleidoscope is changing and trying to illuminate something.

Lennok also stared at the kaleidoscope with a stiff face unable to breathe properly accepting the possibility of an open ocean.

The scene inside the black kaleidoscope twisted and cleared little by little and at the same time began to reflect it into Lennok’s eyes.

It was a letter.

Letters twisted so strangely that they cannot be explained in the language of this continent.

Letters made of pitch-black mud wriggling and changing their shapes and structures as if alive run wild beyond the kaleidoscope.

[Where is it?]

Surprisingly Lennok understood what it meant.

[Not visible.]

[Call me.]

The sparsely connected letters come to life and change their meaning and will.

A calling as if searching for someone invisible. He doesn’t seem to notice that Lennok is right in front of him.

At that moment the number of letters projected inside the kaleidoscope swelled in an instant increasing to hundreds and thousands completely covering the inside of the kaleidoscope.

[You don’t keep your promise. Where is my name? You disobeyed the great will. I’m hungry. It’s so cold. I’m cursing you. I’m walking on a thorny path. Why can’t I feel it? Where is my consciousness? Give up what you’re carrying. Give up what you promised.]

Intense letters fill the kaleidoscope and pour out.

With that force alone the borders of the kaleidoscope which had been rotating in a black twisted state became distorted and the letters convulsed as if they were going to pop out.

Sigh…!!!!

“Damn it…!!”

A strong and terrible thought that seemed to invade my mind at any moment and try to eat me.

Only then did Lennoc understand a little of the meaning of the strange phenomenon unfolding before his eyes and he gritted his teeth.

It is not just letters that try to break through the power of the kaleidoscope and pop out.

A collection of extremely powerful and transcendent wills is just projecting its will into the empty space as if creating something from nothing.

This is not the result that Lennok himself expected or was hoping for.

He drew up all of his remaining magical energy and deployed the imagery with all his might regaining control of the kaleidoscope in an instant and rewinding it to restore it.

This space is a magnetic realm embodied by Lennok’s own absolute will and imagery.

Once this possibility is in hand it is rather strange that Lennok cannot control it with his own power.

The kaleidoscope distorted by dull black light returns to its original state and the scenery inside also begins to return to its original state.

As if they had sensed that fact the letters illuminated from the inside struggled and let out an incomprehensible roar.

[don’t go.]

[Why are you going?]

[I already downloaded it but why isn’t it there?]

[Something is wrong something is wrong…]

Sigh…!!

Canceling the kaleidoscope by completely closing it is a task many times more burdensome than developing it.

At that moment when all of Lennok’s remaining magical power had been used up and the gate to the junction had been barely closed the development of the magnetic field ended and Lennok’s body was thrown onto the wide grass.

Full!!

“Wow…!!”

Swallowing the nausea rising inside him Lennok lost his balance and fell down.

The fingertips that were touching the edge of the crack were stiff and numb.

Lennok looked down at the traces of emptiness left behind at the tips of his fingers and muttered quietly.

“There wasn’t one….”

Even though the fork was opened using the crack as a catalyst Lennok himself was not visible.

Instead what lies beyond the kaleidoscope are only unknown thoughts desperately searching for someone.

Who on earth were they looking for?

Who was the person who sang with resentment hatred affection wonder despair and sorrow?

Lennok already knew even if he didn’t want to know.

Lennok who had chosen the possibility of the open sea as a turning point was no longer there.

All that remains are the countless emotions and debris created as a result.

This is the first time something like this has happened even though the bifurcation point has been observed several times.

Is that because Lennok who chose the fork in the open sea and went out into the world is already dead?

Or is it because that possibility already exists in reality not in the future?

“….”

A chilling feeling of fear. A fear that is different from death but is comparable to it.

An unexpected possibility that we are vaguely aware of but never want to think about.

“Damn….”

Lenok gritted his teeth and stood up went out of the Beecher and took out his cell phone.

“…Jenny it’s me. “There is someone I want to find.”

[Is that what you said when you called me after a month?]

Lennok laughed weakly while listening to Jenny’s voice muttering as if it were absurd.

“Can I ask you a favor?”

[…Wait a minute there’s a customer who came before that. Would you like to come to the bar first?]

“what?”

Jenny whispered over the phone looking slightly troubled.

[Aris Richelen is looking for you. I see you have something to talk about.]
