Cradle of the Ascendant (2)
A sharp flash of light flashes on the dark scale.
The stick, which draws a subtle trajectory in the air, is bent here and there, drawing a graceful trajectory.
The shape of the trail left behind every time the rod glowing with unknown ancient characters is swung.
Above all, it didn’t end there, and the remaining trail of magic light flashed once more, causing small explosions incessantly and pressuring Lennok.
Bubber Beopbung!!
‘I get it roughly.’
After confirming the ability of the baton in the man’s hand, Lennok understood the man’s strategy and nodded.
A cramped battlefield with less than 5 meters. A powerful voodoo technique that puts a curse on you with just a little bit of magic power.
From Lennok’s point of view, who has to counter the opponent’s attack and defense with only a small amount of magic power, the ability of the baton to cause explosions in succession with a single swing feels extremely tricky.
The man also seemed familiar enough to feel that he had preyed on countless opponents in this way.
A body shape that looks far from combat. However, as befits a high-level magic user, his movements are nimble and his weaponry is sophisticated.
tutter tong!!
Lennok tries to counter the man’s attack using an ice stake pulled out, but as if waiting, he surrounds the stake and explodes with a baton, destroying the stake.
thud!!
And the shape of the scale that soared upwards little by little whenever magic was used.
At the same time, the whirlpool of curses spinning overhead drew closer.
“How long has it been?”
The man who grabbed the stick broke and said with a smile.
“Now you will have to make a choice. Either using magic and being cursed, or being beaten to death without using magic.”
“…Is
my confident words a full-on bravado or a confident victory?
Either way, it seemed clear that the curse itself was not at a level that was easy enough to be tolerated naked.
‘The act of raising one’s mana itself is sensed. It’s not far off to destroy the realm itself from the inside.’
The moment you raise your magic power to destroy the realm, you will be cursed. Did you say it was the power of voodoo?
Condensed energy of curse that is unusual even at a glance. Not to mention losing a lot of fighting ability, it is unknown whether he will be able to maintain his consciousness.
To prevent it, the more you raise your magic power, the more curses will only overlap.
Fundamentally, it was a structure in which you could not leave this realm unless you defeated the opponent in front of you.
The fact that the grave robbers have survived to this day and skillfully used this territory clearly proves its power.
But Lennok, assuming all of that, said something else to the man.
“Military ability. Right?”
“…what?”
“There is one last thing I want to say.”
As Lennok said that and slowly began to loosen his shoulders, the man let out a blank laugh.
“Okay, if there’s any advice, I’ll listen.”
“To be honest, the triggers and fights you made are quite good. The fact that you devised a way to kill a person with rank-level abilities without completing the hierarchy is in itself proof that your ideas are excellent.”
The man flinched at Lennok’s words as he strode forward.
“But borrowing someone else’s image is the same as giving up on self-modification. That witch doctor knows that, so he’s allowed to lend you the domain.”
“…“
Because he knows that he will never become stronger than he is.”
“You seem to be misunderstanding something, but I’m not interested in becoming stronger.”
said the man sarcastically.
“I want to find treasure, make money, eat well, and live well. Did you think I would be immersed in boring mental training like those seekers?”
“No, what I want to say is….”
Lennok, who let out a blank laugh, answered as he approached the man defenselessly.
“If you had thought about that possibility even a little, you wouldn’t have chosen to die like this.”
“…Let’s listen, let’s listen, this cheeky bastard is real!!!”
Lennok’s words mixed with blatant provocation. The man who was confident of his victory did not tolerate it any longer.
If you kill this wizard here and deal with the warriors from Baracheda and the Pincer Hive, the loot and fame that will pour out will be unimaginable.
Use it to borrow more powerful realms and obtain rarer and more valuable artifacts.
If I could get my hands on the ascendant’s relic in this labyrinth, I wouldn’t have to worry about the possibility he was talking about.
The moment he made his decision, the man immediately moved.
Woooooo!!
At the same time as rotating his mana with all his might, he twisted his shoulder gripping the bar.
Lower your posture, bend your waist, and draw a trajectory that curves in all directions.
In the air, the rods scattered as if they were splitting into several pieces, recalling countless traces of light, and the explosions resonated, bursting and pounding the human body.
Aaaaaaang!!
And at the center of it all, Lennok once again pulled out a thin pile of ice.
The purple magic eye rotates like crazy, visualizing the realm of possibility as observed from this spot and drawing red and blue borders.
A limited battlefield of 5 meters. There is no error in the realm of possibility of observation while recognizing the opponent’s armament and tactics.
Lennok reached out his hand without even worrying about the clock painted in only two colors.
At the same time as the stake he swung casually rotated slowly, he countered all the consecutive attacks of the stick wielded by the man.
tutter tutter!!
“…!!!”
A counterattack so sophisticated that it would be unbelievable that he was a weak wizard he was dealing with just now.
The man gritted his teeth and fixed his hand holding the stick, but it was useless.
As the poles and stakes were entangled and released in the air, the initiative in the workshop began to pass to Lennok in an instant.
“Aaaaaaa!!!”
military prowess. An offensive in which a superman, who is said to be able to deal with a military unit alone, exerts all his might.
The speed at which he swings the stick is impossible to observe with the naked eye. The amount of impact contained within it is fatal enough to pulverize bones into powder.
As soon as Lennok stabbed the stake in his hand, he cut it off and tied it up before he could even start his attack.
“Oh no…wait for a sec….”
The man in a cold sweat asked with a trembling voice.
“what is this…this…. Are you kidding?”
don’t use magic
The movement of Lennok swinging the stake was unmistakably that of an ordinary human.
However, with just that alone, it ties up the men’s open battles from the start, making it impossible to even use their strength.
It was proof that all the martial arts and the way a man used his strength had been thoroughly analyzed and dismantled in Lennok’s head.
Wouldn’t it be impossible if you didn’t know a man’s fighting style better than he did?
“To be honest, that talent is a waste.”
As Lennok said, he stabbed the stake into the man’s thigh.
Pooh!!
“…!!”
The strong body of a military commander. Lennok’s weak muscle strength pierced the stake, and before it could be driven in, it broke and turned into ice powder.
However, the man could not stand up easily even with the light shock and twisted his body.
“If you had melted that way of thinking into the hierarchy, your image would have looked much more menacing than this.”
“profit…!!”
“I took the time to check it out. It seems that someone’s possibility in this labyrinth has a much greater meaning than I thought.”
Lennok’s eyes sank deeply as he looked at the fallen man.
Even if it wasn’t this way, there must have been plenty of ways to deal with the man’s tricks.
Considering the projected capacity of Lennok’s image, all the man’s plans could have been disrupted just by deploying his magnetic field within it.
But even knowing that, it was the vision of the boy that Lennok had seen through the telescope that kept him observing and pushing him until the very end.
If that illusion is truly the result of the divergence of the existence of Jindun, and if that is something common to all who enter the labyrinth.
It was necessary to check the possibility at least once in this way.
“But it seems that the differentiation of possibilities itself does not occur in this way. If the point of view changes as I thought, it wouldn’t be strange if I saw another illusion that awakened the microcosm… … .”
“What kind of crazy are you talking about… … .”
The man looks up in terror as Lennok pulls out his telescope and looks around.
His gaze at Lennok no longer felt like looking at the same human being.
“You don’t need to know.”
Lennok, who had inserted his telescope, answered.
Instead, Lennok lowered his stance to meet the man sitting down.
“Then release the area now and spit out all the information you know.”
“go away…why me….”
“no.”
Lennok cut the man off and spoke again.
The purple magic eye rotates rapidly and continues to make eye contact with the man.
For some reason, the man felt that he could not take his eyes off those eyes.
“You will have to obey me.”
“It’s funny…mind….”
“Release the area. And answer the questions.”
“Profit…ugggg… … .”
The man’s eyes flipped over as he stared at Lennok’s constantly spinning demonic eyes, and he began to foam at his mouth.
The same reaction as when Lennok defended Lapis and dealt with Elderbine’s assassin. But the results were quite different.
“…It was three months ago that I joined hands with the Liberation Front. A month and two weeks had passed since he noticed the abnormality of the labyrinth and started preparing. The time and place of contact with the officers of the Liberation Front is the Northern Ancient Ruins Garden of Valeron… … .”
The man with a blank expression had begun to vomit his memories on his own, even without Lennok asking.
The result of an appropriate combination of information injection using the gaze sharing of the evil eye and the hallucination ability of the elderbine assassin.
If you confuse your senses in the same way that an assassin used the Mystic Eye and adjust the amount of information injection, it becomes possible to strike a hallucination that is close to reality toward the target that meets your eyes.
As a result, the person spits out the information Lennok wants without even being aware of the fact that he or she is spitting up the information.
It didn’t matter that each Mystic Eye had a different ability, and even if you had a Mystic Eye, it would be nearly impossible to imitate it.
What matters to Lennok is only whether he can observe and remember the flow of power at the time the ability was activated.
From Lenok’s point of view, who has the ability to manipulate particles, if he could disassemble and understand the principle, he could imitate it at least similarly.
‘I can’t use it multiple times for one person, but this is enough.’
It is only controlling the speed of information injection by combining the hallucination ability of the magic eye, but it is the same that a huge overload is applied to the brain.
A last resort, even if used to obtain information.
However, Lennok didn’t have many ways to make the mouth of a grave robber who had been through a lot of battles open right away.
Killing people and making them vomit information were completely different problems.
Lennok rummaged in his arms, listening to the man’s rapid vomit.
An old item that appears to have been found in the labyrinth and several tools that appear to be used for robbery.
And three rare-looking artifacts, including a pendant.
Lennok took out the blood-drenched pendant and opened it to see what was inside.
An old photograph in a pendant. A bizarre scene in which a scale is floating in a dark space comes into view.
The perfectly identical photographic landscape on the scale where Lennok and the man are now standing.
It wasn’t hard to figure out what that meant.
After roughly wiping the blood from the pendant, Lenok stopped the man’s mouth and asked.
“This artifact. where did you get it from?”
Although I was accidentally stranded in front of the gate, it was well worth the time invested.
An artifact that allows you to rent someone else’s realm. If it wasn’t for the existence of this artifact, the man’s head would have exploded the moment he cheated.
I have seen all kinds of treasures while living in a megalopolis, but this is the first artifact that directly touches the image of a human being.
Even if I couldn’t understand the principle or the way it worked right away, I had to find out the source of the object.
However, the words that came out of the man’s mouth completely exceeded Lennok’s expectations.
“…labyrinth.”
“what?”
“It is a keepsake of an explorer who met Jindun in this labyrinth a long time ago and returned alive.”
The moment Lennok was speechless at the unexpected answer, the grave robber continued without waiting for the response.
“The cradle in the deepest part of the labyrinth. Those who woke up from Jindun’s slumber said that they received something as a gift according to the question he threw. I came to this labyrinth because I wanted that.”
