Drug-Eating Genius Mage

Chapter 347

Hanghasa Labyrinth (1)

Hurry!!

A whip of flame that glows softly in the dark labyrinth corridor.

Lennok, who held the stem of flame in his hand with one hand, twisted his shoulder.

The superman’s body, which was hiding in the darkness and rushing toward Lennok, was entangled in the whip that wriggled like a living snake.

Charreureuk!!

“Ugh!!”

“Damn it, get away!!”

“No, if you open the distance, you will be able to snipe in reverse... ... !!”

Bubber Beopbung!!

Along with the insertion of magic power, the bodies of the four people were engulfed in flames and turned to ashes.

Lennok sighed as he rubbed his shoulder, which had suddenly turned sore.

“Whoa... ... .”

Idiots who couldn’t make a proper judgment even when they were caught with a whip and were confused.

It was not a comfortable situation enough to save even those who rushed blinded by greed.

“done?”

Ibelin walks out from the other side of the complex labyrinth corridor, shaking her hands.

Lennok nodded and asked.

“How about the other side?”

“Same.”

Evelyn shook her head with a tired expression.

“The scope of the outskirts of the labyrinth is so wide that there is no point in worrying about latecomers now. Until we reach the fork, it will not be easy to determine whether we are ahead or behind.”

Two days after entering the labyrinth first, attracting the attention of thousands of people, aiming for the time when the labyrinth opens.

Compared to Jindun’s fame, the maze they passed was a series of traps that tricked and killed people in a relatively ordinary way, but the problem was elsewhere.

“I expected it to some extent, but I never thought it would have such a vast area... ... .”

While saying that, Lennok looked up at the ceiling of the labyrinth where not even a handful of sunlight could enter.

A labyrinth hallway wide enough for three people to pass through with their arms wide open.

Such a corridor stretches out in all directions, drawing an area that easily exceeds thousands of meters.

Compared to what was seen from the outside of the labyrinth, the interior area was impossible with common sense.

It is reasonable that the space is endlessly distorted according to the image of the ascendant created inside, creating a new area.

“I expected it from the first time I entered, but if the distortion of space is this severe, it wouldn’t be strange if there was a big difference between the outside of the labyrinth and the passing time.”

“... ... I guess so.”

“Even if you finish everything and escape, you will have to assume that the situation outside is different from what you expected.”

While saying that, Lennok knocked on the white wall of the labyrinth corridor.

“It is still not difficult to gauge the direction, but... ... . Whether you can retrace your way back is another matter.”

“I still remember all the ways we came. I think you can draw a map and write it down in between.”

Evelyn said that, but Lennok immediately shook his head.

“It is not difficult to remember the road itself. The problem lies elsewhere.”

Saying so, Lennok picked up an old notebook and handed it to Evelyn.

“Look at this. It is a record obtained from the corpse of an explorer encountered on the way.”

Thousands of explorers who attempted to enter this labyrinth and steal his belongings attempted to meet the Ascendant.

Only a handful of people returned alive and most of them only left corpses instead of accomplishing their purpose.

Lennok and Evelyn were also approaching the inside of the labyrinth using these corpses as guideposts.

“The outermost part of the labyrinth is in the form of a simple labyrinth, but the environment changes drastically as you go deeper. They say that it gets worse, especially when it comes to transit points called gateways.”

“The deepest environment is constantly changing in real time, so it is difficult to understand patterns or rules... ... .”

Evelyn frowned slightly and quickly skimmed through the notebook.

“If the environment of the labyrinth changes when entering and exiting, it will be a headache as it is.”

Lennok nodded.

“The fundamental reason why Hanghasa Labyrinth was created is that it is very different from other historical sites. This unique environment is probably because of that.”

Lennok muttered that, silently staring at the darkness on the other side of the labyrinth.

It is unusual in itself that he is attempting to ascend without paying any attention to the interference of outsiders after implementing such a huge ideological campaign in a remote snowy field on the North Continent.

Although the Transcendentalists who have built up their own answers firmly enough to challenge the ascension may have different thoughts.

Looking back on Jindun’s hundreds of years of history, it seems clear that the very existence of this labyrinth was not created to welcome or exclude outsiders.

If the Hanghasasa Labyrinth is the fruit of realizing the image of an ascendant as a world, what does it mean to challenge the ascension?

Lennok did not agonize for long between doubts and delusions that could not be grasped.

In the end, if you check whether Jindun is alive or dead in the labyrinth, all those answers will naturally follow.

“It’s a crossroads.”

Evelyn said.

“What do you want to do?”

“Any other signs?”

“There is no sign of anything within a radius of several hundred meters.”

The width and height of the road are perfectly the same forked road.

So far, we have been choosing the road by using the abandoned corpse or the traces of our belongings as a signpost, but we have to pay attention to choosing the direction carefully.

It is not difficult to approach the inside of the labyrinth, but finding the way to Jindun within it is another problem.

Lennok took out the telescope given to him by Lapis from his chest and held it in front of his eyes.

An artifact that only Lennok, who can crudely copy the Ascendant’s magic, can see its effect.

Evelyn asked from the side.

“how is it?”

“Wrong. I can’t see anything.”

“You shouldn’t expect too much... ... .”

With a slightly sullen expression on her shoulders, she put down the bag she was holding and patted her waist.

“Would you like to have a meal first before deciding on a direction? First of all, I think I ate almost nothing today.

Ibelin’s proposal is reasonable since I spent two days grasping the information of the labyrinth and moving forward.

From now on, if you go inside and face other entrants, you won’t have time to replenish your nutrition.

However, the reason Lennok kept this without telling anyone was that the fact that no one had noticed until now might itself be a clue.

Although it was difficult to hide after confirming the illusion like now.

“According to what Ban said, it means that the barrier guard invited by the fortress was Jindun himself... ... . It’s difficult.”

“I can think of two possibilities.”

Lennok saw it and spread two fingers.

“First, Jindun, who was challenging the ascension, secretly moved to seal the cracks in the fortress for some reason.”

“second is?”

said Lennok, who folded his second finger.

“Jin-dun, who was a mortal, and Jin-dun, a transcendental person who had already challenged ascension, existed at the same time.”

“... ... .”

Evelyn kept her mouth shut.

Because the assumptions Lennok was talking about were too absurd for her to think.

The past and present selves exist at the same time and leave traces.

Is such a thing truly possible for a living, breathing human being?

However, even though Evelyn thought so, she couldn’t easily deny Lennok’s words.

“Don’t you think it’s not impossible for transcendentalists who want to change the pre-determined ending?”

As Lennok had said, she did not know how far the miracles granted to ascendants would extend.

Instead, Evelyn wanted to hear more of Lennok’s thoughts.

The opportunity to have such a deep conversation and understand his underlying mindset won’t come often.

“What made you think that?”

“Because the barrier of the fortress and the magic of the labyrinth are very different. I felt the similarity, but the difference between the two magical powers is strong enough to feel completed after hundreds of years.”

Lennok stared into Evelyn’s green eyes.

“Did Jindun intentionally hide his magic or was it a trace he left behind for some reason... ... . Which one do you think?”

“well... ... .”

Evelyn touched her ear and avoided Lennoc’s gaze.

“At least you seem to have already decided on an answer.”

Just as Lennok was about to reply, a piercing noise rang from the other side of the road they had passed.

coo... ... !

A thinly diluted impact sound like an echo.

However, it was an artificial sound that could never be thought of as a coincidence in this labyrinth.

Right after that, the scent of magic flowing in like a ripple from the other side made the two men meet their eyes at the same time.

“Does it seem right?”

“okay.”

Lennok answered, taking a cigarette from inside his bosom and lighting it.

“You are the first person with Aspect Powers to meet in this labyrinth.

“The more people there are, the more this side’s advantage fades. If possible, let’s think of losing the body first.”

Lennok nodded at Evelyn’s words as she quickly cleared her tracks and stood up.

In the process of entering the labyrinth, didn’t it attract attention to a somewhat excessive extent?

Since they destroyed the entire snowy mountain and entered the labyrinth first, considering the victims in the process, there must be quite a few people gnashing their teeth at them.

If you meet for the purpose of exchanging information, you may get into a fight or a battle.

It is not that the battle itself is reluctant, but it is difficult to get out of this labyrinth where you do not know where to run.

Of course, Lennok thought that if he was with Ibelin, he would be able to deal with any powerful enemy, but since

meeting the Ascendant took precedence over killing the opponent, it was right to act in a way that did not cause a conflict as much as possible.

wheeeeeee... ... !!

A cold wind blows in the darkness of the corridor.

In the thick blood mixed in between, the faces of the two naturally hardened slightly.

The very moment when mysterious magic filled the corridor and approached slowly.

thud!

With the dull sound of something falling, something rolled out of the darkness to reveal itself.

It was a human head that appeared after rolling half a turn from the bottom of the labyrinth.

His face is full of traces of terrible pain, as if his throat had been ripped out alive, and the cross section of his neck is coarsely torn.

“... ... .”

Lennoc and Evelyn were silent for a moment, and

then someone in a robe stepped forward from the darkness.

A sticky, slimy magic that emanates from the whole body. A complex magic pattern that makes it impossible to guess the formula system.

Even life reactions that overlap and spread out so much that it is hard to think of them alone.

7th level Ascendant. There is no doubt that he is a magician who has reached a considerable level.

Lennok and Evelyn naturally met each other’s gaze and slightly opened their distance.

Even if you don’t try to attack first on this side, the odds are good enough. It’s not too late to check how they come out from the other side and enter the battle.

As the two thought so, the moment they warmed up their mana,

the robed figure stared blankly at Lennok’s face and said,

“I didn’t expect to meet you in a place like this.”

“... ... .”

A man’s voice, as if he had heard it somewhere.

The man continued without waiting for an answer.

“I heard the news that you participated in this work, but I never thought I would run into it as soon as I entered the labyrinth... ... .”

He muttered that and slowly took off his robe.

“Should I say good luck or bad luck?”

Narrow eyes with a snake-like impression. An expression that is not sharp enough to be sharp.

It is a face that is difficult to forget once it has been remembered.

Lennok finally recognized the young man’s face and slightly frowned.

“From the fucking beginning... ... .”

The head of the terrorist organization Falchion and now a high-ranking jeweler who leads the criminal organization Elder Vine.

Zaun Ordis, who is said to be the closest to the extreme in the western continent, was standing in front of Lennok.
