Drug-Eating Genius Mage
Chapter 369

Jindun (1)

“I can’t believe this… … .”

The man who identified himself as Ermong seemed more shocked by the appearance of Jindun than Maya, who arrived earlier.

From his point of view, who had reached this point with the intention of stealing the ascendant’s body, this situation must have been an unexpected result.

Lennok also never thought that Jindun would be waiting for a guest who came to the labyrinth in this form.

Above the palace of the white cradle. The figure of a dwarf old man faintly repeating breathing with his eyes closed.

There is no sense of the majestic majesty of the Ascendant anywhere, but there is no doubt that this man is Zaegis Ethernor himself.

If it weren’t for this man who fell asleep with all the facilities and pipes of the cradle in one place, there would be no one who could maintain and realize this labyrinth.

“A pipe is forcibly inserted into the spinal cord in the back and is injecting something. It’s a rough way, but the seam is very smooth… … .”

Lennok murmured, looking at the pipe connection behind Jindun’s back.

“Are you continuously injecting the energy gathered around the cradle into Jindun’s body? No matter how you look at it, it feels more like a life support device than a drinking sack… … .”

It’s been a long time since I’ve already come to a conclusion in my head, but that’s why it’s rather difficult to believe.

entire ideology. That the Ascendant, who single-handedly embodied the vast labyrinth of unknown end in the snowy field, is living by relying on a machine to extend his life.

I had never thought that waking up Jindun and sharing questions and answers would have such a meaning.

Maya raised a finger at the two of them and said.

“Everyone, don’t move from the spot.”

“… … .”

Drops of red blood dripped from the tips of her slender fingers.

“I am ready. Do you know what this means?”

“It is a lie.”

Lennok cut her off like a knife.

“People who are really prepared don’t talk like that, Mai. Doesn’t it take time to activate the law circle?”

Maya didn’t respond to Lennok’s words. He just twisted the corner of his mouth and made a mocking expression.

Lennok ignored her and quickly began to check the scenery around him.

It seems certain that Maiya arrived one step ahead of the two and was drawing the magic team.

Even after arriving in front of Jindun first, the fact that she was drawing a law school instead of waking him up must mean that this was her original intention.

Lennok’s two eyes shone sharply as he checked the direction of the magic team.

‘Jin-Dun is not included in the direction of Beopjin. It’s not a spell aimed at the ascendant himself. then… … .’

What was he aiming for, drawing such a complex magic line in the middle of the cradle of Jindun?

If it was a spell using her own blood as a medium, it would almost certainly be a forbidden spell equivalent to blood magic.

A blood magic that is activated using the blood of the best enforcer in Machine City. It seemed highly likely that the effect and fruition would be beyond what Lennok could have imagined.

‘The direction and location are advantageous to Maya. It’s impossible to move hastily.’

Lennok, who quickly grasped the situation, came up with an answer.

‘Forcibly shake it to create a gap.’

“The best enforcer in Machine City is wiping the dust off Pandaemonium, so the years must pass.”

Maya’s shoulders trembled faintly, not knowing that Lennok would hear such a thing.

“You child… … how… … .”

What Maya did not know was that Lennok had known through his conversation with Dr. that the two belonged to Pandaemonium.

That’s because at the time Lennok was talking with Dr., he was in the middle of a battle with Ballack, a psychic in the gravity system.

That’s why Lennok’s thrusting words shook Maija more effectively than anything else.

“Have you bowed down to a criminal organization to escape the failure of Ascension Gate? Compared to your reputation, this is a surprisingly irresponsible decision.”

Maya’s reaction, unable to take her eyes off Lennok’s face.

The words themselves are evidence of her rebellion and strong principles of action.

“Eveline should have seen you here, but it’s a pity. Being in front of an ascendant and not knowing what you want… … .”

Lennok smiled coldly at Maya.

“No matter how long you live, you can’t pick up on the mistakes you made.”

“… … !!”

Maya’s body rises from her seat for a very short time.

Evidence that her reason is shaken enough to make her forget about the magic training she has done so far.

Ascension gate failed. Joining Pandaemonium.

I don’t know exactly what happened along the way, but it seemed clear that it was important to her.

But even so, Maya gritted her teeth and slowly brought her hand back to the magic circle.

“… … think what’s good Since I came this far, what I have to do has been decided.”

Did he calm down his anger and regain his reason in that fleeting moment?

The coolness of a superman who had lived as an enforcer for decades was not something to belittle.

Quickly quick… … !!

As the magic circle drawn on the floor vibrates greatly, the blood painted on it begins to float upward.

Even Maya’s sunken hair came to mind, and her eyes glowed red.

“I came here to correct that very mistake… … !!”

[Blood magic 8-fold development]

[One-day projection of others]

[Simple implementation of Ascension gate]

[Reverse heavenly step]

Damn!!

Unknown letters, densely packed between the legal lines, wriggling, then stand up on top of the legal lines and begin to pile something densely together.

Letters stained with red blood rose above the legal circle, drawing a huge rectangular shape.

A shape resembling a giant door.

The moment when the landscape of the cradle was faintly distorted beyond the huge bloody door carved into the air.

Lennox waved his hand as well.

Chew!

The blood flowing down my wrist pours over the bloody path that draws the shape of the door.

Right after that, the magical power contained in the blood started to work and interfered with Maya’s spell on the spot.

“… … !!”

“As expected, it was a kind of summoning ceremony to summon someone.”

said Lennok, biting his thumb and bleeding through his fingers once more.

The droplets of blood that flowed from her hands were scattered all over Maya’s sake tine.

“The structural analysis has been completed. I’ll calculate backwards from the root of that spell and dismantle it.”

“Evaaaan!!!”

One last potion of magic potion left in case of an emergency.

While taking it, the mana contained in the scattered blood is used as a catalyst to decompose Maiya’s blood magic as it is.

Maiya’s spell began to collapse without taking the form of a door.

In an instant, Maya, realizing that the plan had been ruined, stood up and kicked Lennok.

Awesome!!

“… … !!”

Lennok gnashed his teeth as he fell back dozens of meters without even screaming.

Pain as if the intestines were bursting. It was surprising that she still had such potential, but I didn’t have time to think about it for long.

She rose from her seat with a devil-like expression on her face, pulled out the blade hanging from her waist, and began to approach Lennok.

“Tell me right away how you deciphered the principles of the Ascension Gate!!!!”

“uh… … I have no teeth… … . The angry part… … !!”

Isn’t it because he’s angry at the fact that the spell containing the principle of the Ascension Gate was interpreted, not the destruction of the spell?

That single word contained all the reasons for how obsessed Maya was with the failure of the Gate of Ascension.

The moment Lennok rummaged through the inside of his collar to grab the artifact with trembling hands and Maya raised the blade.

Kwajik!!

A pillar of jewels rose from under Maya’s feet and pierced her shoulder.

“I’m sorry, but I can’t let you do that.”

Ermong, a black magician who signed a hand sign with a smile on his face.

At the same time, the jewel pillar that penetrated Maya’s shoulder exploded as it was.

Aaaaaaang!!

“Ah… … !!”

The appearance of Maya falling out without being able to scream properly.

A series of battles and races. At the end of the mind and body exhausted to the limit, only the will remains and burns.

Ermong looked at Maya and lifted the fallen Lennok up by the shoulders.

“I’m glad she doesn’t seem to have much interest in Jindun. Thanks to you, I was able to seize the opportunity.”

“… … What are we going to do now?”

“Looking at Zaegis’ condition, it seems likely that my plan will go back to blank.”

said Ermong with a wide smile.

With Zaun’s snake-like body, he smiled like that, and a genuinely friendly smile was created naturally.

“I thought I wouldn’t have to worry about what happened after taking the ascendant’s body, but hasn’t the situation changed a lot?”

“So you want to earn points in advance in case you go out of the labyrinth?”

“Anyway, this friend’s body won’t last long.”

Ermong, who casually mentioned the limits of Zaun, shrugged.

“In that case, I think it would be the right decision to get what Zaigis has to offer and to work together to escape this labyrinth.”

“… … .”

In the process of escaping the labyrinth, is it a plan to secure safety by clinging to Lennok?

Instead of replying immediately, Lennok shook off his support and rose to his feet.

Ermong murmured as he approached Jindun’s side, ignoring Lennoc’s reaction.

“I’ll have to think about how to wake Jindun from his slumber. Actually, I thought he would already be up at the moment he changed the melody of Changyoseok… … .”

“He’s too tired to keep his eyes open just by changing the song.”

It wasn’t Lennok or Maya who answered that.

“It has been a very long time… … . It took too long to get an answer.”

The moment I noticed, the being was walking past the two of them.

A close distance as if you could even feel your breath. The speed seems infinitely slow, but it is also imperceptibly fast.

Wow Jangchang!!

Drops of bright red blood shattered from above and splattered like rain.

A rain of fresh blood filling the white cavity of the cradle. The half-shattered and collapsed door of the spell is half open.

“You must have remembered a promise we made a long time ago.”

As he said that through the rain of blood, he calmly looked down at Jindun’s face.

As if he had no interest in the existence of Lennok and Ermong standing behind him.

“A false promise that wouldn’t be strange even if I forgot… … Did you make a decision because it touched your heart? Either way, his will deserves respect.”

The existence, muttering indifferently, looked back at the two without a word.

Even though it clearly has a human shape, its face cannot be clearly recognized.

As if there is noise, the information coming into your head is not properly converted.

It is not that Lennok’s sensory organs are faulty, but a heterogeneous landscape that seems to have caused an error in the value output to the world.

However, instead of raising his magical power against the unexpected interrupter, Lennok slowly backed away in a cold sweat.

He must have heard it once before, as it traveled through the air and resounded in his ears.

At that time, the message was delivered directly through the ability of Agneta, the messenger of the pandemonium.

I still clearly remember the vague voice that made it impossible to tell whether it was a man or woman, an old man or a child.

“Then I have no choice but to respond.”

At the whispered words of the existence, Lennok gritted his teeth and muttered.

“Pandemonium… … !!!!”

One of the largest criminal organizations on the continent. The leader of a group where monsters of all kinds gather to form a fierce battle.

The leader of Pandemonium, shrouded in all sorts of mysteries and veils.

On the other side of the lighthouse keeper. The existence closest to the truth of this world in a sense stood before Lennok’s eyes.

coo cooo coo… … !!!

Right after that, the enormous pressure of magical power that pushed the two down.

“Cheukhak!!”

“… … .strength!!”

The pressure was so heavy that even a handful of resistance was impossible in this situation where mana had been exhausted. No, even if the condition was intact, would I have been able to hold out for a long time?

The opponent is a creature that has reached the peak of the pandemonium with monsters such as Croken and Myung under his command.

It is impossible to even predict how far that power and potential will reach.

Realizing that he might not be able to get out of this place if he made a mistake, Lennok fell to the floor and bit his lip.

‘Damn it, in a place like this… … !!’

In a corner of my head, I quickly check the underwater artifact and escape method, but I replace myself not understanding the current situation itself.

If a giant like the leader of Pandemonium had walked directly into the labyrinth, there would be no way Lapis would not have been able to detect its existence.

Didn’t Lennok also consistently check the sides of his competitors while sniping in the snowy mountains to prepare for any unknown variables?

As much as that, the existence of the leader was a fatal issue enough to overturn the situation that had been going on so far.

The leader, who had driven both Lennok and Ermong to the ground in an instant, muttered while touching his chin.

“But I didn’t expect Maya to be here. Transcendental people need to be connected to the cause and effect of the world, so I asked the doctor… … .”

“I wondered why the pandemonium intervened, and that was the reason… … .”

Lennok murmured, his shoulders shaking.

“Someone had to make contact with the Ascendant once before you could get here… … !!”

“I don’t normally use this cumbersome method.”

The captain looked down at Lennok and replied.

“For me, who was only allowed to walk backwards while looking back on the path I had passed, this was just the widest trail.”

The question of why only one of the Pandaemoniums, Maiya Lenslett, was in the labyrinth is finally solved.

If he had intended to covet the ascendant’s relics or check whether he was alive or dead, he would have had to put more effort into it.

Instead, the reason why Maiya asked one person to break through the labyrinth was because it didn’t matter much to anyone contacting an ascendant.

Like this, if someone can see Jindun’s appearance once, the leader will be able to reach the Transcendentalist by riding the flow.

“It happened like this, but it doesn’t matter too much. If you can reach Jindun anyway, the process won’t mean much.”

After glancing down at Lennok and Ermong, the leader started walking toward Jindun, who had fallen asleep.

At that moment, Ermong, who had been grunting until now, began to let out a sullen laugh.

“That unusual behavior… … . A unique way of being… … . I think I know who you are.”

“… … .”

Hearing this, the captain hesitated slightly, but did not stop walking.

Ermong also didn’t care at all and continued to speak.

“There were people like you hundreds of years ago. No, you must have been still alive and waiting for the ending, right?”

Ermong, who struggled to lift his face, smiled.

“Zygis… … . poor man. In the end, you decided to entrust everything to a senior who was lacking. Too bad. A miracle is something that never comes twice.”

“I am here now to change that predestined ending.”

The leader answered calmly and slowly placed his hand on Jindun’s shoulder.

“me too… … you know In the end, all of this might end in futility. The reason given to me may have exhausted its meaning a long time ago.”

The thinly spread fingers of the leader went over his shoulder and headed for Jindun’s back.

Towards the thousands of pipe stems that are tightly bonded to his body.

“Wait, what are you trying to do… … !! no way!”

The moment when Lennok realized what the leader was trying to do and completely changed his complexion.

“But even if this world is not the place I used to love, I will try to prevent the moment when everything is thrown into the vortex of the open sea and disappears.”

Jiggly… … !!

The moment Jindun pulls the pipe connected to Jindun’s back with force and pulls it apart, a huge amount of energy leaks out and bursts out through the cavity of the cradle.

A mechanism used to sustain the body and life of the Ascendant. Needless to say how powerful and deadly the power contained within is.

However, the leader took the energy leaking out through the pipes and tore off the pipe connected to Jindun’s back.

“That would be the only reward I can give for being saved by the world.”

damn!!

Apply force to the lump of pipe connected behind Jindun’s back and rip it off at once.

The blood and flesh that had been ripped off along the back and waist scattered in the air and scattered hot fresh blood.

The body of an Ascendant, as if he would die at any moment.

The very moment when the entire mechanism that sustains that life was destroyed.

Jindun opened his eyes.

* * *

Lennok was looking at someone.

A child playing with a pebble. It belonged to an invisible child who had just turned five.

The child who laid out some stones on the ground and drew a circle laughed awkwardly.

Turn your head.

The appearance of a matured boy. Impressive appearance with flowing blonde hair.

Draw a circle with a branch in your hand and fill it with unknown symbols.

The boy who completed a fairly plausible barrier smiled happily.

Turn your head.

The look of a young man who has grown old.

Pours mana into the ground with a staff held in one hand.

Even in Lennok’s eyes, a high-level barrier was completed at once and covered the young man.

The young man smiled proudly.

Turn your head.

The young man is no longer old.

However, the level of barriers he creates grows exponentially.

It is no longer recognizable by Lenok, it transcends the system, ignores its properties, and interferes with time and space.

Complete your own system by going beyond the description of the barrier art that existed in the world.

The young man no longer laughed.

Time passed.

An immeasurably long period of time passes, and the young man, who was not old, gradually changes into a mature man and an old man.

As long as you can see a superman who has already reached the stage getting older, the barrier technique has not developed much.

I just focused on constantly supplementing the lacking parts and building up the internal stability.

More time passed.

Every time I turned my head and moved my gaze to the side, I saw a man exploring barrier arts in a different timeline.

Hundreds beyond dozens… … . Until the moment we finally reach the end after walking for such a long time.

The man always had his head down and looked down at his feet.

In retrospect, the fact of looking down was perfectly familiar to him.

Although I no longer feel the pleasure of watching the scenery of the small world I created.

Maybe the barrier art is copying what the gods do, albeit in a small way.

Perhaps that’s why a man, not anyone else, was qualified to challenge the ascension.

If you follow what God does and reach the peak, you can eventually call it another god.

Of course, man wasn’t a god and he didn’t want to be a god either.

His existence as a transcendental being who cast off cause and effect might have been enough to make him appear as a god in the eyes of others.

There is no resentment or regret about that fact.

But if there’s something you want to tell me, even if it’s belatedly,

click click click.

The very last end of the timeline where hundreds of men lined up.

A dwarfed old man with a pale complexion sits with his back bent in silence.

Unlike the other men who had been playing with barrier techniques up until now, what the old man touched was a small game board.

The black and white checkered game board looked somehow similar to what Lennok knew.

Lennok stared blankly at the old man and walked slowly towards him.

I sat across from the old man with the game board in between.

Then, hundreds of men who had been concentrating on touching the shielding technique as if Lennok were not there all raised their heads and began to look at Lennok.

The old man, who had not raised his head until then, slowly raised his eyes and smiled at Lennok.

“Would you like to play a game?”

Lennok smiled and nodded.

“Of course, Zeigis.”
