Regrets and longings (6)
Huh… … !!
A cold wind pierces through outstretched fingers.
Lennok slowly looked down at his hand, fully aware of the cold sensation.
The relic ring newly fitted to the index finger meets Feigenbaum’s eyes.
Originally, an artifact that helps to analyze the hidden side of the spell or the boundary line through the imaginary dimension.
Because he used the ring right away in the process of saving Ibelin, some of its functions are paralyzed, but because of that, one thing is possible.
Facing the eyes, activates the ring that has lost its function.
At the same time, he raises the demonic eye of his left eye, which is at risk as if it will break at any moment, and faces the pupil of the ring.
The ability to look at the Mystic Eye and the Imaginary Dimension crossed hundreds of times in an instant and began to stretch Lennok’s consciousness infinitely.
Gyyy profit… … !!
Everything around slows down with a noise like paper slowly tearing.
It was the infinite split of the consciousness he used to talk to Lennok at the time of Jindun’s last conversation.
I can’t try it sober yet, but between the sensory consciousness that feels infinitely slow by combining the ability of the ring and the magic eye.
Standing on the same timeline, Lennok completed a series of calculations in an instant and returned to reality.
Dig!!
“Whoa…!!”
As he let out a low sigh and raised his mana, countless magicians stretched out between Lennok’s fingers and clung to the bottom of the floating island.
charrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!
At the same time, it disassembles the piles of dirt and stones that make up the island and quickly starts scattering them down.
The speed of the lighter floating island increases, but if this happens, the time it can maintain the island will be rather short.
“Evan? what now… … ?”
With a puzzled look on her face, Lapis didn’t open her mouth before staring blankly down.
The mounds of dirt that seemed to have fallen randomly on Lennok’s sorcerer began to fall from the bottom of the island and dry something.
A vast maze of soil drawn like a painting in the middle of a vast snowy field.
At the same time that the earthen maze containing Lennok’s magic was completed, snow in the snowy field rose up in response to it, reinforcing the thickness of the wall.
The labyrinth, which was built in an instant under the ground, confined the watchers and pursuers who were fighting from the bottom of the floating island at once.
coo coo coo… … !!!
[Run forward.]
Shortly thereafter, Lennok’s glory echoes from above the floating island.
All the watchers who heard those words started to move without hesitation.
“Run away, catch it!!”
“Escape into the maze!”
“What can idiots do with such an improvised labyrinth…!”
The pursuers also immediately ran to chase the floating island, but as soon as they entered the labyrinth, they noticed the change and raised their heads.
Dada dot!!
Even though they are running at the same speed, they are moving away much faster than the beginning.
Unlike the observers who escape to the other side as soon as they enter the labyrinth, the pursuers cannot move forward even if they destroy the labyrinth wall.
Only then did the pursuers, realizing what Lennok had done, opened their mouths in amazement.
“Large-scale spatial distortion…. Spatial interference of this degree with a crude pile of dirt… … !!”
“Is it a way to assign a different sense of distance by specifying each being in the labyrinth!!”
“How could you do such a transfer without using the blue eye area… … !!”
The other onlookers who were watching from behind also guessed what Lennok was up to and breathed in silently.
Jindun’s entire ideology. Lennok’s small labyrinth that mimics the fragments of the Hanghasa Labyrinth, albeit a little.
Lennok succeeded in realizing the distortion of the space that moved and twisted differently in the labyrinth, even for a short time, using Jindun’s shielding technique and magical power.
A crossroads in countless labyrinths diverging as one person’s possibilities and timelines are realized differently.
It was not enough to observe the principle from the beginning to the end, but it was only possible to imitate Lenok after meeting Jindun and hearing the answer.
Compared to the true body of the Hanghasa Labyrinth, it was extremely crude, but the effect was certain.
The pursuers, realizing that there was no point in smashing one or two walls of the maze, made their way out of the maze quickly, but it was too late.
The image of the floating island, which had increased its speed with a lighter body, and the observers who climbed on it were moving away towards the end of the snowy field.
In this situation, when I realized the difference in the magician’s power, it was fatal that the distance had widened like this.
The pursuers who quickly recognized the situation stopped first, and some whose heads were slow to turn their bodies exploded from the bombardment fired from the edge of the island.
Kwaaaaang!!
A floating island fading through the blizzard as the pursuers swallow bitter water amidst the sound of explosions rising from all over the snowy field.
“Damn it…Considering that they are not active in the North Continent, it was practically the last chance.”
“It wasn’t for nothing that he quickly grew into a hegemonic runner in the East. Not everyone is average.”
“At that level, we might soon face each other on the central front.”
“Go back. I’d rather dig through the wreckage of the Hanghasa Labyrinth.”
Those who stared at the island with eyes dripping with regret began to turn their bodies one by one.
* * *
As soon as you get out of the snowy field, you can see the dry forest created by the gathering of dead trees.
The slender trees boast a height of nearly several meters and are lined up in a row across the cold lake.
The tranquil boreal forest.
As if the tranquility of not a single tremble on the lake was a lie.
A huge floating island floated up and landed on top of the lake.
Aaaaaaaaaaaa!!
The whole weight of it falls on the water and the surface of the thinly frozen lake is turned upside down.
As if experiencing a storm in the middle of the sea, the waves roared and spit out all the water in the lake.
The floating island, half turned upside down and driven into it, cannot overcome its strength and jumps out of the lake and crosses the middle of the forest for a long time.
The magnificent trees were broken and pushed away like chopsticks, scattering dust in all directions.
“Cool cool cool!!”
“It’s embarrassing….”
“Is everyone all right?”
On top of the fragments of the floating island, which had become a mess and was smashed, observers covered in dust stood up one by one.
The warriors who came to their senses first began to look around the floating island, retracing the way they had passed.
“…isn’t it?”
“okay. It seems that all pursuit has been repelled.”
One of them answered in a weak voice.
“If it wasn’t for Evan, we might have had to fight for half a day. It turned out to be easier than I thought.”
“No, if you look closely, the reason why the island suddenly got stuck in the lake was because Evan took the soil from the floating island and used it at will.”
“I did my best. Do you even say that when you see me?”
“Woo-wook….”
Watchers shut their mouths at Lennok’s pallid complexion as he clung to a nearby fallen tree and vomited.
In reality, it was only that the motion sickness got worse during the moment when the floating island was stuck, but from the outside, it seemed like the crowd was doing their best for the watchers.
The atmosphere of the observers watching Lennok’s hunched back became solemn.
“…There must be a reason why Lapis cares so much for that mage.”
“In the deepest part of the labyrinth, dealing with the Mage Tower and the three monsters of the shear alone, your skills and judgment are unusual.”
“Even though I am not a watcher yet, it is worth inviting me to the convocation order. Where did a man like that come from?”
In the meantime, Evelyn, who had come to her senses, was patting Lennok on the back with a worried look on her face.
“Spit it, spit it.”
“Wait a minute, if you hit me on the back like that….”
“It’s better to just throw up.”
Evelyn’s hand movements that tapped her back and waist exquisitely stimulated Lennok’s empty stomach, causing her to vomit the contents.
Unwillingly, Lenok, who had vomited in front of her once, turned his head with a crumpled face.
“…I never thought I would run out of motion sickness medicine. I’ll have to make up for it when I get back.”
In preparation for this trip, I had packed all kinds of household medicines, but I used them all while going back and forth between the snowfield and the floating island of the labyrinth.
Lennok asked Lapis, who was hanging around nearby, about the first thing that came to his mind before he cared about other things.
“How is Grisha?”
“…we are here.”
The image of Grisha waving with a haggard expression while leaning against a tree behind Lapis.
Ironically, even that figure looked better than Lennok’s complexion, which had suffered motion sickness for a moment.
Lennok, who was looking at Grisha’s face, pulled out a potion from his chest and held it out to her.
Grisha, who was sweating profusely, saw that and opened her eyes wide and smiled.
“After entering and exiting the labyrinth, he became strangely polite. Couldn’t you have come to receive etiquette infusion from an ascendant?”
Even at the moment he opened the lid of the potion, Lennok laughed lightly at Grisha’s words.
“Seeing that you’re friends with a level 8 summoner, I can feel your age.”
“Ah Nora…. It’s already been well over 50 years since she became the godmother of the Enolas Magic Tower.”
Grisha shrugged his shoulders shyly.
“Enolas is one of the strongest Mage Towers in the Southern Continent. If Nora would say that, she’ll need help sometime in the future.”
“Thanks to that. It looked like it could kill me without fail until I saw your face.”
“Whoops…Nora was very hot-tempered from a young age. Even with the guy I used to fight to death, I often became friends and turned into enemies. Because of her eccentric nature, she might have survived and become the godmother of the Mage Tower.”
Grisha smiled bitterly as if looking back at memories from a very long time ago.
“I’m glad that our long-standing relationship has been helpful in this way. I haven’t done much in this one.”
“….”
To say that, without her existence, maintaining such a floating island would not have been established.
However, Grisha seemed to feel a lot of responsibility for not being able to take part in the labyrinth.
Instead of giving her a trivial consolation, Lennok glanced around and asked her something else.
“You seem to be acquainted with Oliviera Lone Maze, too. Can you explain the inside story?”
A situation where you have to go to meet her separately even for the bot of the evil eye.
Jenny said that Oliviera had shown interest in the doll Grisha had given her when she visited her.
When Grisha is looking back on the past, you should ask about her so you can get some general information.
But instead of reacting in any special way when Grisha heard her name, he smiled awkwardly.
“Oliviera…It’s a name I haven’t heard in quite a while. I’m sorry, but unlike Nora, I don’t have much to tell you about her.”
“What do you mean?”
“Olivia has become a completely different person since settling down in the metropolis.”
“….”
“After that, we only knew each other’s existence from time to time, and we never met. After the project’s failure, I’ve only heard rumors that I’m holding on to unknown research.”
Black consumers in megacities. Ascension Gate of Machine City. Mangwi Night in Gunryeong City.
All of them are projects to realize bold and grandiose miracles, and all of them are by-products of the past that were left as disastrous failures.
Grisha is saying that Oliviera Ron Maze is also one of the people directly involved in the project.
“There was a time when everyone was full of hope. The time when I believed that I would be able to dedicate myself to a miracle bigger than myself… … . It’s all meaningless now.”
Grisha muttered to herself in an empty voice.
Her voice slowly faded as she rubbed her temples with a tired expression.
“But I still…. won’t regret… … .”
Lennok, who was looking down at Grisha, who fell asleep in an instant with his head down as if the batteries had run out, slowly stood up.
It is only natural that Grisha’s body, which moved the floating island at high speed for more than half a day, was not normal.
Even if you have a massive main force, it is an unreasonable operation that is difficult to think of with common sense in the body of a living being.
On the contrary, it felt strange that Grisha could fall asleep soundly even after using her main power like that.
Lapis, who was watching from the side, carefully covered Grisha’s body with the coat that was hanging over her shoulder.
“Considering how much Grisha is focusing on, she might not wake up for a day or so.”
“good…I have no choice but to rest in this forest.”
At the moment Lennok let out a small sigh and muttered, a heavy roar rang out from behind him.
coo!!
It was the sound of the dog-headed giant Lappard as he set the load he was holding down on the ground.
Realizing that it was a pyre made by chopping down every tree in the area, Lennok smiled bitterly.
Jiel, who was carrying the veil used for the tent, nagged at me from the side.
“I need to light a fire and prepare well before night falls, so move quickly. What are you still hesitating about?”
Watchers from all sides clear stones and trees to make shelter and pitch tents.
Some lit a bonfire while others found food on the collapsed floating island and started cooking.
The watchers who naturally set a night watch and stand guard are extremely skilled, as if they have not done this once or twice.
In front of such watchers, Lapis shrugged her shoulders with a triumphant face.
“Ahem.”
“…Why are you proud?”
As Lennok asked, he smiled and turned his head toward the darkening sky.
As soon as I got out of the snowfield, I felt the cold air become warmer and the speed of the setting sun slowed down a bit.
He was summoned to the snowfields of the North Continent, camped outside the labyrinth, and raced inside the labyrinth until he finally met the ascendant and got an answer.
The long and long work of the North Continent was finally coming to a realization that it was coming to an end.
* * *
Lennok and Evelyn stayed in the woods with the Watchers for the rest of the day.
The observers seemed to guess that Lennok had met Jindun, but he didn’t mention it first.
The first thing they saw when they arrived inside the labyrinth was Lennok and Ibelin, who were facing off against three superhumans alone.
Everyone had guessed how fierce the battle the two had in the labyrinth before they had reached that point, and how great it was.
In particular, I wonder if Lennok’s powerlessness, which took time against two 8th level and one 7th level, left an impression on him.
There were no more watchers protesting Lennok’s qualifications.
Rather, most of them approached in a more friendly way, perhaps because they were impressed by Lenok’s help in the process of escaping the snowy field.
“I thought what Evan said before you arrived….”
“You don’t believe me, do you? I always trust our boss’s discernment.”
“Don’t fuck with Lapis-sama, this bastard is getting a magic engineering teddy bear as a birthday present… … .”
“Hey hey be quiet!!”
“I just look at you as a child…. Organizational discipline is like this… … We need to get rid of this rude bastard soon… … .”
Even though he had only intermingled with them for a short time during the night, Lennok could clearly feel the bond that existed between the Watchers.
It wasn’t because they were simply working towards a common goal, but it was probably thanks to Lapis’ efforts to make the blue eyes look like this.
Lennok understood the mindset of the lighthouse keeper who wanted to make Blue Eye not just a society, but a place where various talented people wanted to be together.
Lennok also got along well with the Watchers, but he couldn’t explain what happened with the Ascendant to them.
The conversations and secrets he shared with Jindun are of the kind that are deeply related to the essential roots of Lennok.
Aside from considering the blue eyes to be quite trustworthy, I had to choose my words carefully.
Instead, Lennok told Lapis and Evelyn that the leader of Pandaemonium had appeared and personally took Jindun’s life.
Considering the position and interests of her who declared that she would confront the Pandemonium on the front, I thought it would be the right thing to tell the two of them in advance.
Lapis listened to Lennok’s words and stayed up all night without sleep.
When her thoughts are over, she will discuss with those she can trust what Pandemonium is aiming for.
From there, Lennok thought it was a matter of Lapis’ choice.
Early morning the next day after a day has passed.
Lennok stood with Evelyn facing the watchers.
Lapis, who was standing in front of the line of watchers, looked up at the two in silence.
“Is it really okay if we don’t go back together?”
“There is an agent branch in a nearby city. If we airlift a train ticket there, we should be able to return to the city in three days.”
Evelyn patted her on the shoulder at Lapis’s worried words.
“Evan agreed, so we’re going back there. I’ve been leaving my agent job too long.”
“People who live in the city can’t understand why you go to work after you’ve worked like that.”
At the words of Jiel scratching his shaggy hair, Witch Sorcerer Lance laughed.
“The value that each person values is different. If you can be where you need it at the moment you need it, like this moment today, that is enough.”
“Being a lighthouse keeper is too soft. The doctrine of salvation is something that is not enough even if you dedicate everything to the goal.”
“Don’t be rude. Do you think Lapis is that kind of person?”
Lennok and Lapis laughed together when they saw Lappard and the vampire youth begin to quarrel.
“It would be nice if I could say hello to other viewers next time.”
“I just heard the story. It’s a pity that I didn’t see the watchers who reached level 8.”
He knew that among the watchers newly recruited through the previous meeting, there was a person with the highest level of ability.
It would have been nice if I had been able to meet them at least once before I got a feel for the state, but each situation is different.
It was only natural that there were watchers who were busy with their work, as Blue Eyes were currently active not only in this snowy field but also in various parts of the continent.
Lapis listened to Lennok’s words and asked with a slight glance.
“Will Evan stand in the same place as them next time?”
“well….”
Lennok smiled wryly, but couldn’t give a clear answer.
I had a rough idea of how to get out of the way. I think I already had the direction and method.
But from now on, it was all up to Lennok himself.
Lennok has always believed in himself and brought confidence, but this time it was difficult to easily predict what kind of result would await at the end.
“What are you going to do?”
“Thanks to Evan-nim’s story about my grandmother, my worries are over.”
“….”
Words about cheongyeon that were exchanged briefly during the conversation with Jindun.
The desperate prophecy of Jindun that there is no fourth and the reason why Cheongyeon acted that way.
Even after hearing the truth through the mouth of an ascendant, Lapis did not change.
She had been prepared from the beginning to move forward no matter what answer she received.
“Until now, we have continued our activities centering on the East Coast and increased our strength, but from now on, we plan to move toward the front as well.”
“If it’s a wire….”
There are several lines worth mentioning in the mouth of the headman who leads the Blue Eye, but Lennok seemed to know where Lapis meant.
Even now, decades later, the fiercest battleground in the world is taking place.
A battlefield where the strongest power and will collide throughout the entire continent.
“The last legacy left in the central city of Arsnova…The Blue Eye will now stand at a turning point to obtain its legacy and save the world.”
Guido Church Spell Federation Supernatural Enlightenment Flyer Ethergarden Countless powerful magic towers and warriors.
Lapis was thinking of stepping out in earnest on the central front, where everyone was turning their eyes.
