Cradle of the Ascendant (1)
Evelyn didn’t let out a sigh, but immediately blocked Lennok’s path and blocked the approaching woman.
The moment the woman lifting the sickle and hammer leaned deeply, Evelyn also put her hand on her waist.
The two superhumans, twisting their knees toward each other, collided at the same time.
coo!!
The shock was enough to shake the gate standing next to it.
It was Eveline who frowned first.
“strength…!”
“die? kill? Is it you or me?”
While muttering as if possessed by a ghost, he pushed Ibelin away with the hammer in his left hand.
At the same time, she threw the scythe she was holding in her other hand over her head and fixed it firmly in the crack of the gateway, grabbed Evelyn by the collar and jumped up.
Kugu Palace!!
The new models of the two began to fight using the wall as a stepping stone as they were slammed into a pillar of the gateway.
A vertical maneuver in which the center of gravity of the body is tilted at a right angle and exchanges attacks and defenses.
The man let out a laugh when he saw Lennok looking up.
“It lasts a lot longer than I thought. Even when I was caught by the collar, I thought it would be over soon.”
“….”
“Even if he looks like that, he is said to be one of the best warriors in Baracheda. I can’t trust her, but her fighting ability is trustworthy.”
Hearing that, Lennok turned his gaze to the man.
“I didn’t come this far on my own. Was it sponsored by an organization called Baracheda?”
“Hmm, do you know what the Baracheda Liberation Front is like?”
The smiling man swung the jungle sword in his hand.
“Then I don’t think I have anything more to say. Let’s start slowly with this one too. Actually, that’s what I said, but since you look much weaker, I’ve been putting my hands on it.”
“….”
“Suddenly, there will be guys who officially pass through the gateway and come out with the key. If they find out about our existence, things will be a nuisance… … . It has to be dealt with quickly.”
Lennok stared blankly at the man fixing his jungle sword before reaching for his sleeve.
clap.
“hmm?”
As Lennok took a revolver out of his sleeve, he pulled the gong at the same time.
Ignoring the slight frown on the man’s expression, Lennok raised the muzzle and pulled the trigger.
Not towards the man standing in front of him, but toward the two men who were fighting against each other on the wall of the gateway.
Tatatatatatang!!
A designated shot with five superimposed sub-magic spells.
“lazy…!!”
The woman, who had been concentrating on pushing Eveline, changed her complexion as she tried to knock down the five bullets fired by Lennok.
Right after her back flipped in the opposite direction, the bullet that narrowly missed exploded, scattering chilly air everywhere.
If it was hit in any way, the freezing magic applied to the bullet would have exploded and disrupted the battle.
It was only then that the woman who hadn’t even looked down looked down at the grave robber with an annoyed face.
“…What are you doing?”
“I’m in trouble if it comes out like this, damn it!!”
The man who grumbled like that immediately grabbed the jungle sword and rushed at Lennok.
Veins stood out between the hairy forearms, and the blade accelerated at an imperceptible speed.
Kiriririk!!
A skillful swordsmanship completely different from the physique that seems to have no relation to combat.
In an instant, the man shouted as he overpowered Lennok in all directions and shoved the blade over his chest.
“Get lost!!”
“hate.”
Kaaang!!
Lennok, who deflected the man’s jungle sword once with his shield, raised his revolver.
One shot remaining in the cylinder was placed directly on the tip of the sword and fired.
Taang!!
The bullet pierced the side of the man’s jungle also landed on it and began to cover the blade with cold ice crystals.
“…!!”
A look of surprise passed by, but the man’s judgment was quick.
After throwing the jungle sword he was holding into the air without regret, he took out an awl-shaped dagger from his waist and rushed at it.
“Sixth step. It was the last shot… … !!”
Pooh!!
The figure of a man frozen in the air as if time had stopped.
Lennok looked down at the face and shook his head.
“I’m a treasure hunter, so I’m not good at dealing with people.”
“Cheer heh…!”
In the chest of the twitching man, the jungle sword he threw behind his back was stuck upside down from behind his back.
Using the material transfer built into the archangel’s compassion, he pulled the handle of the jungle sword with the magician as it was transferred, and inserted the blade from behind.
Was it because he thought he was a shooter who was weak in close combat? Or did he not expect that the weapon he threw away would come back like a boomerang?
Either way, shattering the opponent’s expectations was something Lennok was perfectly used to.
Lennok said, grabbing the shoulder of the staggering man with blood dripping from his mouth.
“I won’t kill you right now. If the information you collected while wandering the labyrinth is enough to discover the secret passage, it must be of a considerable level.”
“….”
“If this is enough for Evelyn, it’s about time to finish the tidying up….”
It wasn’t that she was caught by the throat at the first attack of the woman with the hammer.
Even if Ibelin doesn’t have to aim for her, I’d be grateful if she knew how to distance herself from Lennok on the battlefield.
Ibelin was deliberately dealing with a warrior from the Baracheda Liberation Front in order to leave Lennok and the man alone.
Because I knew that the less variables that occur during battle, the easier it is to subdue the opponent.
It is necessary to find out the source of the information how they noticed the existence of the secret passage.
Thinking so, while Lennok looked up at the two running along the wall of the labyrinth,
“…You got caught.”
The trembling man clutching his stomach murmured quietly.
The moment Lennok looked away, the man pulled something out of his arms.
A pendant the size of a fist. It is surrounded by a chain of silver, and unusual magical energy swirls inside.
I have no intention of letting my opponent use a trump card from now on.
Thinking so, Lenok immediately raised his mana and was about to press down on the man’s limbs, but the achromatic waves leaking from the crystal ball stopped his hand.
The man, who did not miss the moment, opened the lid of the pendant and inserted it into his wound.
oops!
At the same time as the pendant soaked in the man’s blood emitted colorful light, achromatic waves leaked from the floor formed a huge circular sphere and swallowed the two.
Aaaaaaa!!!
Evelyn, who was in the middle of receiving the Baracheda warrior’s attack, turned her gaze downward with a startled expression.
“Evan!!”
“I already used that. You are much stronger than you think.”
The woman muttered in a stiff tone and shook her head.
Evelyn heard those words and turned her head to the woman in front of her.
“It was called the Baracheda Liberation Front. You said that the common language of the continent was awkward, so there must be a reason for that.”
An unlicensed military organization that maintains a heterogeneous position among the countless armed groups that exist on the continent.
Not only does it not use the continental common language established by the ascendant ‘Jinwa’, but the organization’s system and logic are evaluated as foreign to the existing ones.
The most popular rumor about them is that they came from ‘out of the continent’.
If it is migrants who arrived on the continent after crossing the ‘Sea of Understanding’, which is impossible to navigate by human power, it is understandable that they are out of the sphere of influence of language.
“When I heard from Van that he was wearing gearside equipment, I couldn’t believe it…It seems to be reaching out to all sorts of organisations. Is that Treasure Hunter the same reason?”
“That guy. Too many words. it’s annoying. die soon.”
“I will die soon….? You’re dead, but you’re expanding the territory?”
Evelyn, not listening to what the woman was saying, frowned.
“Is it a special area that can be activated only when conditions are satisfied? No, the level is too high compared to the realm… … .”
In an instant, she quickly recalled what had just happened below and realized the answer.
“That pendant. You borrowed the power of an artifact. It was a relic-level magic equipment that helped develop the realm.”
“You’re quick to notice.”
Clap!!
The woman who pulled out the scythe that had been driven into the gap between the gates muttered as she fixed the weapon in both hands.
“Even quick-witted children die early.”
“I am not a child. Can’t you see?”
Eveline, who was hot, muttered that while lightly stroking her left forearm.
Right after that, a short bow sticks out from the top of her suit, drawing the shape of a short bow.
“I was going to take the time and catch it 2-1, but…Things have changed.”
Green eyes begin to shine brightly in the dark labyrinth.
With that unusual momentum in front of her eyes, the woman immediately raised her magic power.
Baracheda Liberation Front. Among them, as a warrior in one hand, she had a relatively accurate estimate of Ibelin’s skill.
Apart from what he has to deal with in this position, he is a level warrior whose odds cannot be predicted easily even in a single battle.
It is a skill that is so hard to believe that archers are the essence.
“Let’s finish quickly.”
* * *
Woooooo!!!
A hard black room with no distinction between floor and ceiling.
In the space where only faint vibrations resonated periodically, Lennok looked around in silence.
“It’s an area…At the end, I saw the wave of the pendant that the man was pulling out, so I wondered, but I didn’t know that it would really expand the magnetic field
.
The fighting style and behavior far from being a magician. In addition, the real state of Treasure Hunter seemed far from completing the image.
However, this pitch-black space now confined to Lennok was unmistakably that of a magnetic domain.
“Does it kill you?”
The darkness lifted and the man who appeared smiled.
The wound on his back and waist disappeared without knowing it.
Lennok noticed the general situation and nodded.
“Right. Were you aiming for this from the start?”
“That’s how it is.”
The expression on the man’s face, as he stood up after shaking himself off, was much colder than before.
“Treasure Hunters have to be quick about information. It’s difficult for someone stupid enough to not know the name or skill of the Hyeongung to survive.”
“….”
Was talking about such strange nonsense itself a strategy of its own?
Although he had met many talented players, it was the first time he had ever faced an opponent who tried to bring a strategic advantage by talking head-on.
The man grinned, noticing Lennok’s curious gaze at him.
“I knew from the beginning that you weren’t someone who could be matched halfway.”
“That’s why I gambled with my life.”
“I thought if I showed that I knew a lot about the labyrinth, I would rather steal the information than kill me right away.”
While saying that, the man pulled out a long something from his waist.
A stick with many unknown characters written on it. At the same time as injecting mana, it rotates slowly and scatters soft waves.
“Then, instead of slicing my throat unnoticed, I’ll focus on inflicting a mortal wound, and the trigger I wanted is complete.”
“It’s a magnetic domain activated by receiving a fatal wound close to death…. Admit it. I didn’t expect that until now.”
Lennok smiled bitterly and nodded.
“I didn’t even know that there were artifacts borrowing other people’s images.”
“….”
The man’s eyes sank deeply.
It was because Lennok’s casually mentioned words accurately pierced the secret of the man’s expansive territory.
A pendant belonging to the relic class artifact.
However, the truth is not something that forcibly turns a non-existent image into a realm.
The thing the man used was an artifact that temporarily borrowed the magnetic realm of another Ascendant.
It was obtained after almost dying several times, and it is an item that has contributed the most to the man’s life as a grave robber.
As much as it has the ability to transcend common sense to borrow someone else’s territory, the activation conditions are also extremely demanding.
Not only must there be mutual consent between the person who lends the area and the person receiving it, but it is activated by designating only one target.
It can only be used against the person who inflicted the fatal wound on himself, and should not be hindered in any way until the territory is deployed.
Even after the effect of the artifact is over, if the area is released, the injuries sustained at the time of deployment remain in the body and accumulate.
In other words, if the opponent cannot be killed right after the territory is deployed, it is inevitable that the man will die.
However, there was a reason why the man broke through all the bad conditions and developed this realm.
“The owner of this realm is a witch doctor who is quite famous in the western continent. I pay a hefty price every year to rent this man’s realm. But I’ve never regretted it once. Why do you think?”
“well….”
Lennok looked around the black room once more with his arms folded before replying.
“It’s probably because there are enough alien abilities to make you win in this composition.”
“that’s right.”
The man smiled and nodded.
“If you use more magical power in this realm than you just used to attack me, you will be covered with stacks of witchcraft curses accumulated in the realm.”
“….”
“The law of vengeance that exists in voodoo. It is the realm of the scale that does not stop until the same price is returned.”
Awesome!!
At the same time as he said that, the landscape of the black room split, revealing the true face of the realm.
A huge scale that two people could barely stand on.
Sticky magic power surged from below, and a sharp whirlpool of curses rotated overhead.
The entirety of the battlefield given to the two of them was on the narrow balance beam where there was no place to escape.
“Seolbok Hyeongdoryang in the magnetic domain. Almost all the conditions were met. Let’s start slowly.”
The man who lifted the long pole laughed.
“You left me alone because you wanted to get your hands on the artifact the moment I used it, right? Everyone who made me use the realm thought the same thing. You will die here now because of that greed.”
“Did you say everything you wanted to say?”
“…what?”
Lennok replied, raising one hand and putting it to the corner of his eye.
“I wanted to say something, but there was no end to it. Aren’t you just bragging about yourself from the middle?”
“….”
“You seem to think you are using your gias and triggers cleverly, but…It doesn’t mean much if you confuse the purpose and the means.”
The left pupil rotates and turns into a purple magic eye.
A more heterogeneous flow of cracks began to blend into those eyes that had been shining bright purple until now.
At the same time as the man stopped walking in that foreign light, Lennok took a step forward.
Lennok said, unaware that the appearance of the evil eye was gradually changing and that other possibilities were blooming.
“I can see slightly different things in this labyrinth. How far can I reach with my demonic eyes…. I want to check it here.”
“This son of a bitch…!!”
“Let’s start.”
Swallowing the rising powder, the man rushed forward, and Lennok immediately pulled out the ice-cold stake from his hand and lifted it up.
At the same time as the two models crossed, an eerie magical light began to flash on the scale.
