Avalanche (2)
If it was an avalanche pouring down a slope, superhumans with skills would be able to avoid it even by running.
However, no one can escape the snowdrifts of snowy mountains pouring overhead over the canyon.
Even if you don’t lose your life, it is unavoidable that your movement is restricted for a moment.
Lennok and Evelyn slid quickly through the crowd of people pushed and floundered from all sides, using the carapace as a snowboard.
Wedge Lover!!!
The speed of falling from an altitude of several hundred meters and sliding far exceeds that of most cars.
Lennok’s naked eyes could no longer see the surrounding landscape properly.
The huge carapace plate carrying the two people quickly slid and crushed the enemies buried in all directions.
The amount of shock produced by the tremendous weight of Apostle Walter’s outer armor combined with rapid acceleration.
Even superhumans who protect their entire bodies with magical powers crumble like sheets of paper and spurt blood.
Red flowers bloomed and faded as Lennok and Evelyn passed through the snowdrifts around the labyrinth.
After confirming the appearance, the other frightened people shouted loudly.
“If you don’t want to be left behind, avoid everyone!!”
“Just open the way for the madmen!!”
“Send me first!! I won’t let you go if I die from those guys!!”
Hard!!
In the meantime, the deck, which had been stepped on by dozens of superhumans, slipped and cast a red shadow.
“Lapis should have spoken to the other observers in time.”
Lennok murmured, shrugging his shoulders slightly.
At the time I thought of this plan, I told the other observers not to rush into the labyrinth and to stay away for a while, but it is unknown if everyone followed his instructions.
However, Evelyn, who was hanging behind Lennok’s back, nodded in a calmer voice.
“It will be fine. None of the guys I just killed.”
“…Can you see all of that?”
“You are an archer.”
While Evelyn grinned and pointed at herself, the carapace that broke through the snowdrift accelerated once more.
Kwaaaa!!
Speeding so fast that even the wind noise is muffled and you can’t hear it properly.
No one can be seen in front of or to the side of the two.
Checking the distance to the labyrinth, which was rapidly approaching, Lennok lowered his head and Evelyn raised her magic power.
“timing. It has to fit exactly. can you do it?”
“What do you think of me as half?”
Evelyn smiled and slammed the mana that she drew up into her feet without hesitation.
“The basics of archery are breathing and timing.”
Heading towards the carapace where the two are tightly bound.
Woooooooooo!!
Inner world microcosm: inertial bias.
Inertial control that maintains the strength and direction of the forces present.
The carapace, driven by the power of the microcosm expressed by Ibelin, bends surprisingly smoothly and rotates accurately.
According to the width and length of the labyrinth, the carapace floated into the air and changed its trajectory like an arrow bending in the air.
I’m going to go to the middle of the day… … !!
The edge of the Hanghasa Labyrinth. It is subtly sucked into the crack at the widest entrance.
Right after that, the structure of the labyrinth twisted once more, and the entrance the two entered disappeared in an instant.
Only then did the others, who came to their senses, get out of the snowdrifts and start running.
“Damn it…!! The rift has already started to close!!”
“We have to go inside before the labyrinth completely changes!!”
“If you don’t want to fight to the death with the fallen guys, run, you bastards!!”
Following the two who entered the labyrinth first, the others began to enter the labyrinth a little later, pushing themselves through the cracks.
* * *
“Now I know what Evan was thinking.”
The outermost area of the snowfield.
At the edge of the floating island, which retreated to the edge to avoid the pursuit of others, Lapis raised her gaze to the sky and murmured.
Her two eyes are colored black like the night sky, reflecting the movement of the stars.
Beyond the distant distance, using the sky as a mirror, we look down at the ground at a distance that is unreachable by human eyes.
Thousands of superhumans who exist in the canyon where the Hanghasa Labyrinth is located.
However, it was Lapis who most accurately grasped what Lennok had done and its cause and effect.
“I thought you would collect the snow from the snowy mountains and push it down the canyon…. Did you already anticipate the possibility from the moment you widened your distance and focused on sniping with Evelyn-nim?”
“Considering his personality, that’s for sure.”
Grisha, who appeared from behind Lapis, responded to those words.
In order to maintain the shape and structure of the floating island, she was concentrating on maintaining a base away from those heading into the canyon.
At the same time as she looks up at the sky, dozens of other watchers begin to return to the floating island.
Those who could not enter the labyrinth safely pulled themselves together and retreated to the outside of the snowfield.
“Maybe you didn’t intend to destroy the snowy mountain from the beginning, but you must have had similar thoughts.”
Grisha said while relaxing his stiff shoulders.
“Because I don’t think you’ll enjoy arguing on a battlefield like that… … . Ah, I think my throat is a little stiff.”
For nearly three days, he helped the other watchers around the labyrinth and cooperated in the melee, but he had no stamina left.
Even though she participated in battle for three consecutive days, her massive main force was not damaged in any way, but mental fatigue was unavoidable.
Lapis looked around at the other observers who had gathered after Grisha and quickly nodded.
“First of all, let’s keep our distance from the Labyrinth, then retreat and reorganize the battle lines. After resting for a while, we will move right away.”
“Where?”
“We have to clear this area until the watchers who entered the labyrinth get out.”
She gave a rare sharp smile and looked away.
“Almost all of the organization’s major forces spread out in this snowy field would have entered the labyrinth, so now we can remake the outer board as we wish.”
I had no intention of leaving the Labyrinth to talented observers like Evan or Evelyn to play with.
Lapis planned to move in her own way to take the situation outside the labyrinth to her advantage.
“In the worst case, even if all the plans fail, the Watchers power must be intact… … . I have no intention of sitting still.”
“That’s right.”
“Then shall we focus on setting the floating island back?”
Lapis smiled as he looked back at the observers who had changed into slightly awkward expressions.
The air in the snowfield was about to turn the other way once again.
* * *
Whoa!!
As soon as he confirmed that he had entered the labyrinth, Lennok cut off the magic thread connecting the two people to the carapace.
The heavy shell plate fell first, and the bodies of the two flew over several tens of meters along the long corridor of the labyrinth following inertia.
Kaga Gak!!
With the bodies of Lennok and Evelyn being shot at high speed, the trap inside the labyrinth activated, recognizing the existence of the two a step later.
Arrows and spearheads shot between the walls and ceiling pierce the empty air before disappearing.
After confirming the appearance, Lennok stretched out magicians with his fingertips, attached them to all sides of the labyrinth hallway, and stopped the two of them as they were.
Awesome… … .!!!
The magician, stretched like a spider’s web, stopped Lennok’s body upside down in the air, minimizing the impact.
Lennok, whose complexion had turned pale, cut off the sorcerer and came down and buried his face on the floor.
“Woo-wook….”
I roughly expected this result and took a lot of motion sickness pills in advance, but I can’t help but feel the reverse of the moment when my sense of balance is completely overturned.
Evelyn came down with a calm expression and patted Lennok on the back.
“are you okay? Shall we take a break?”
“Whoa…No, it will get better soon. Hang in there.”
After saying that, Lennok sat down on the floor and put a cigarette in his mouth.
I knew from experience that inhaling weak smoke like this is more effective than doing halfway things when my stomach upsets.
Evelyn looked at Lennok with a slightly worried expression, then turned her gaze around.
“Finally, we have entered the labyrinth of Hanghasa. But it’s really not that surprising. To think that this entire labyrinth is an image created by one Ascendant… … .”
As she said that, she lightly ran her finger across the dusty stone wall.
“If you came in without knowing, you would have thought it was an ancient site thousands of years old.”
“It must mean that the image of a transcendent who challenges ascension is solidly completed.”
Lennok, who rubbed his mouth with his shirt sleeve and stood up, answered.
In just a few seconds, the amount of smoke he had inhaled made his face slightly embarrassing.
“More than the level of temporarily elevating the mind and projecting images into reality, the realization of existence to the extent of breaking through the physical laws and taking its place….”
Lennox said as he looked at the wall Evelyn had finished.
“It would be impossible without the image of Jindun’s inner world in fact achieving a level comparable to the laws of the world.”
“okay…. It’s the first time I’ve seen it myself.”
Evelyn’s face was also faintly hardened with tension.
“From now on, everything actually depends on Jindun’s intention. Or should I say it depends on his life and death?”
“Because I came all the way here to confirm that.”
Lennok took out a potion and drank it in order to cool down his head, which had heated up while entering the labyrinth.
“I’ll have to go inside and check it out.”
“…okay.”
Lennok and Evelyn’s eyes simultaneously moved to the other side of the labyrinth corridor.
A hallway buried in pitch darkness.
It is difficult to guess how long it would be, even with the magic power of an Ascendant level person.
Only the sound of the quiet wind coming from within the labyrinth was the only noise in the area.
* * *
“Okay. You mean that guy is the one who made the drug lord the way he was?”
Snowdrifts pouring here and there from all sides.
However, rather than worrying about her own safety even in the rapidly changing environment, Maiya nodded her head after seeing the two people disappear into the labyrinth in an instant.
“The level of mana management is high, and the hand speed is neat. Above all, you have guts. There is nothing wrong with attracting attention in this way.”
[Dominic was a pretty brainy fellow,]
said a ragged ball of hair behind her back.
[If the Dominion had captured the trader, who was infinitely sensitive to his profit and loss, and killed his consciousness, he must be hiding something beyond appearances.]
Maiya laughed.
“Blue eyes. You rate it much higher than you thought. Wasn’t it something that the leadership didn’t care about?”
[Can that be? It is not worth ignoring the growth shown in a short period of time by the blood relatives of the thousand dogs.]
The doctor replied in a plaintive voice.
[The organization’s discipline itself has become much looser than before, but it has been keen on raising the weight class itself through trade and compromise. Now that they have gained both justification and force, they are one of the strongest associations in the East Continent.]
“Hmm….”
[This is the leader’s order that it is necessary to constantly review the trends in the vicinity of the megalopolis. Maybe it’s a face you’ll see quite often.]
Instead of paying attention to the doctor’s words, Maya looked around blankly.
Idiots became prey by being swept away by the avalanche that the sorcerer had just set off, but those who know how to take care of themselves are different.
Even if the lead itself was given to the wizard with a move beyond imagination, those who could advance toward the labyrinth without difficulty among the pouring snow.
Those who haven’t entered the labyrinth yet, but who have adjusted their attitude like themselves, are watching from all sides.
Before entering the labyrinth, it is to remember those who are likely to be strong competitors in advance.
“As expected, I don’t really like Inseon….”
As Maiya muttered with a nonchalant expression, she slowly warmed up, and at the same time, the hair ball sighed again.
[Is that sound again?]
“Look closely, Doctor. Even after refraining from outside activities for a while, I see familiar sentences and organizations, but I’m the only one here.”
[…] … ]
“In addition, according to what you said, it seems clear that the Blue Eye watchers will be difficult opponents, but what are you going to do with that?”
While saying that, Maya frowned as she checked the red-eyed young man staring straight at her.
There’s no way he’d be aiming for it so blatantly without noticing the injuries he got from colliding with the unlucky jeweler Zaun Ordis.
Sensing that the annoying opponent would stick around, she let out a sigh, but the hair ball floating behind her back did not lose its composure.
[Didn’t you say Mai? The lineup for this job is perfect. It doesn’t make any sense to push it by head count. Isn’t it natural that the Ascendant’s Labyrinth screens out people?]
“….”
[The reason I called them this time is because I thought you, a former enforcer of the Machine City, were the most suitable for breaking through this kind of difficulty.] The hairball floating behind
Maiya’s back felt like a smirk at some point.
[Stealing the heart by breaking through the stronghold that others have carefully created… … Wasn’t that what you did best?]
“I would have told you not to say anything nonsense.”
Rubbing her aching back, Maya slowly raised her mana.
“Okay. Let’s follow those two guys first.”
She took a step forward with a familiar feeling, grabbed the hair ball with one hand, and started running from the spot.
Maya’s leap toward the labyrinth was so graceful and graceful that no recoil was felt.
The hairball in her hand rattled and let out a subtle, broken laugh.
Before the cracks in the labyrinth close, those who have the strength and skills to enter inside disappear one after another.
In the labyrinth where desires and desires to covet his remains and relics to meet the Ascendant are swirling.
Only the huge labyrinth that swallowed all the secret wishes was wriggling quietly.
