Hanghasa Labyrinth (1)
Hurry!!
A whip of fla that glows softly in the dark labyrinth corridor.
Lennok, who held the stem of fla in his hand with one hand, twisted his shoulder.
The superman’s body, which was hiding in the darkness and rushing toward Lennok, was entangled in the whip that wriggled like a living snake.
Charreureuk!!
“Ugh!!”
“Damn it, get away!!”
“No, if you open the distance, you will be able to snipe in reverse… … !!”
Bubber Beopbung!!
Along with the insertion of magic power, the bodies of the four people were engulfed in flas and turned to ashes.
Lennok sighed as he rubbed his shoulder, which had suddenly turned sore.
“Whoa… … .”
Idiots who couldn’t make a proper judgnt even when they were caught with a whip and were confused.
It was not a comfortable situation enough to save even those who rushed blinded by greed.
“done?”
Ibelin walks out from the other side of the complex labyrinth corridor, shaking her hands.
Lennok nodded and asked.
“How about the other side?”
“Sa.”
Evelyn shook her head with a tired expression.
“The scope of the outskirts of the labyrinth is so wide that there is no point in worrying about latecors now. Until we reach the fork, it will not be easy to determine whether we are ahead or behind.”
Two days after entering the labyrinth first, attracting the attention of thousands of people, aiming for the ti when the labyrinth opens.
Compared to Jindun’s fa, the maze they passed was a series of traps that tricked and killed people in a relatively ordinary way, but the problem was elsewhere.
“I expected it to so extent, but I never thought it would have such a vast area… … .”
While saying that, Lennok looked up at the ceiling of the labyrinth where not even a handful of sunlight could enter.
A labyrinth hallway wide enough for three people to pass through with their arms wide open.
Such a corridor stretches out in all directions, drawing an area that easily exceeds thousands of ters.
Compared to what was seen from the outside of the labyrinth, the interior area was impossible with common sense.
It is reasonable that the space is endlessly distorted according to the image of the ascendant created inside, creating a new area.
“I expected it from the first ti I entered, but if the distortion of space is this severe, it wouldn’t be strange if there was a big difference between the outside of the labyrinth and the passing ti.”
“… … I guess so.”
“Even if you finish everything and escape, you will have to assu that the situation outside is different from what you expected.”
While saying that, Lennok knocked on the white wall of the labyrinth corridor.
“It is still not difficult to gauge the direction, but… … . Whether you can retrace your way back is another matter.”
“I still rember all the ways we ca. I think you can draw a map and write it down in between.”
Evelyn said that, but Lennok imdiately shook his head.
“It is not difficult to rember the road itself. The problem lies elsewhere.”
Saying so, Lennok picked up an old notebook and handed it to Evelyn.
“Look at this. It is a record obtained from the corpse of an explorer encountered on the way.”
Thousands of explorers who attempted to enter this labyrinth and steal his belongings attempted to et the Ascendant.
Only a handful of people returned alive and most of them only left corpses instead of accomplishing their purpose.
Lennok and Evelyn were also approaching the inside of the labyrinth using these corpses as guideposts.
“The outermost part of the labyrinth is in the form of a simple labyrinth, but the environnt changes drastically as you go deeper. They say that it gets worse, especially when it cos to transit points called gateways.”
“The deepest environnt is constantly changing in real ti, so it is difficult to understand patterns or rules… … .”
Evelyn frowned slightly and quickly skimd through the notebook.
“If the environnt of the labyrinth changes when entering and exiting, it will be a headache as it is.”
Lennok nodded.
“The fundantal reason why Hanghasa Labyrinth was created is that it is very different from other historical sites. This unique environnt is probably because of that.”
Lennok muttered that, silently staring at the darkness on the other side of the labyrinth.
It is unusual in itself that he is attempting to ascend without paying any attention to the interference of outsiders after implenting such a huge ideological campaign in a remote snowy field on the North Continent.
Although the Transcendentalists who have built up their own answers firmly enough to challenge the ascension may have different thoughts.
Looking back on Jindun’s hundreds of years of history, it seems clear that the very existence of this labyrinth was not created to welco or exclude outsiders.
If the Hanghasasa Labyrinth is the fruit of realizing the image of an ascendant as a world, what does it an to challenge the ascension?
Lennok did not agonize for long between doubts and delusions that could not be grasped.
In the end, if you check whether Jindun is alive or dead in the labyrinth, all those answers will naturally follow.
“It’s a crossroads.”
Evelyn said.
“What do you want to do?”
“Any other signs?”
“There is no sign of anything within a radius of several hundred ters.”
The width and height of the road are perfectly the sa forked road.
So far, we have been choosing the road by using the abandoned corpse or the traces of our belongings as a signpost, but we have to pay attention to choosing the direction carefully.
It is not difficult to approach the inside of the labyrinth, but finding the way to Jindun within it is another problem.
Lennok took out the telescope given to him by Lapis from his chest and held it in front of his eyes.
An artifact that only Lennok, who can crudely copy the Ascendant’s magic, can see its effect.
Evelyn asked from the side.
“how is it?”
“Wrong. I can’t see anything.”
“You shouldn’t expect too much… … .”
With a slightly sullen expression on her shoulders, she put down the bag she was holding and patted her waist.
“Would you like to have a al first before deciding on a direction? First of all, I think I ate almost nothing today.
Ibelin’s proposal is reasonable since I spent two days grasping the information of the labyrinth and moving forward.
From now on, if you go inside and face other entrants, you won’t have ti to replenish your nutrition.
The mont Lennok was about to nod as he thought so.
“… … for a mont.”
Little thoughts running through my head. However, it is a short ti to experint here.
I moved the telescope from my right eye to my left eye.
At the sa ti, activate the purple magic eye and check the red and blue options with a telescope at the sa ti.
Lennok, looking at the scenery beyond, opened his mouth slightly in silence.
“… … .”
“what’s the matter?”
Evelyn imdiately turned her head to that unusual reaction, but instead of replying, Lennok lowered her gaze.
“… … right.”
“what?”
“If you go to the right at the fork in the road, there will be a place to rest.”
Lennok muttered as he picked up the bag Evelyn had put down.
“Let’s go over there and talk.”
* * *
A small clearing revealed from the direction Lennok pointed.
Crossing the fork in the road, two people sitting between the roads that diverged in more than five directions took out snacks from their bags.
If you put magic power into a small packaged case and knead it, it will swell greatly and turn into a quantity sufficient for one al.
It doesn’t taste very good, but it provides enough nutrients and satiety to last a full day.
In a world where magic engineering is developed, even food for adventurers is compressed and efficiently transford through magic.
“No fresh vegetables… … .”
Lennok laughed at Evelyn’s drooping figure as she nibbled at the skinny celery.
“Even if you borrow the power of magic to make preserved food, it’s difficult to keep it fresh.”
“I ate all the vegetable packages you brought… … .”
“It is a wise choice. It won’t have a long shelf life, so it’s best to get rid of it as soon as possible.”
After roughly eating a al and replenishing water, Lennok told Evelyn about the information he had found out.
“You see?”
“okay. Just in case, I think we can check the direction where Jindun is.”
“I don’t know how that is possible.”
Evelyn sipped the potion from a small bottle and frowned.
“Ugh, but isn’t this too tasteless? It’s so different from what you’ve made so far.”
“Be patient. Because it is good for you.”
“I can’t eat anything that doesn’t taste good.”
“Are you saying that when you live on vegetables all day?”
“why? Vegetables are much tastier than at.”
“… … .”
It’s not that strange to prefer one of the two at and vegetarian, but wouldn’t it be strange to compare the taste between the two.
It’s not that I don’t have sothing to say, but there’s no point in starting a discussion about each other’s taste buds here.
Lennok put aside his miscellaneous thoughts and neatly organized the information he knew and explained it to Evelyn.
The barrier surrounding the cracks located inside the Palgoong Fortress and the owner of the barrier is the Ascendant Jin Dun.
And even the fact that the ti he beca an ascendant and the ti the barrier of the fortress was created do not match.
After hearing the story, Evelyn’s expression also faintly hardened.
“… … It’s an interesting story.”
“This is the only reason I can think of why I was able to determine Jindun’s location when I used this telescope.”
The image Lenok has is a thod of observing the realm of countless possibilities and bringing it to reality.
And Lennok’s Mystic Eye is a way to visualize the fragnts of his ability in reality by projecting Lennok’s image intact.
Basically, I have to say that the possibility of movent in all directions centered on Lennok is visualized as red and blue areas, and combined through the lens of a telescope that tracks the desired magic power, it is illuminating the possibilities of the ti period originally possessed by the ascendant Jindun
.
“To be honest, it’s hard to take my eyes off it.”
“If you say that, what the hell do you see through that telescope?”
“boy.”
said Lennok.
“A boy is seen walking into a labyrinth.”
“… … .”
Evelyn’s face stiffened when she realized why Lennok was reacting so sensitively.
Lennok slowly raised his telescope while receiving Evelyn’s gaze.
Bringing the left pupil to the lens activates the Mystic Eye. The mont you visualize the realm of possibility with your own two eyes.
I begin to see illusions that should never exist in the first place.
[…] … .]
A young boy with pure white blonde hair.
A boy covered in an unknown white cloth walks into the labyrinth, glancing back at Lennok.
An age that seems too young to enter this labyrinth. Is it the grudge of the dead or a mory projecting soone’s childhood?
If you think about the direction of the magical power reflected in the telescope and the owner, that boy is probably… … .
Dozens of thoughts and assumptions ran through his head, but Lennok was in no hurry.
You shouldn’t eat your heart out in a hurry. In the end, it might not be up to Lennok or Evelyn to et Jindun.
Rather than that, I had to think a little more about why this was happening right away.
The cause of all these experiences is the rifts and barriers studied in Bagoong Fortress.
Isn’t Evelyn, who managed the shadows of the galopolis, aware of sothing?
Evelyn, who was lost in thought for a while, said.
“I know what the barriers of Palgoong Fort an. A grand ceremony to seal the rift created when the fort was built. I’ve seen it myself.”
“… … .”
“But I don’t feel that the magical flow of the barrier that remains in my mory is the sa as flowing in this labyrinth.”
“Right… … .”
Didn’t Ibelin’s magic sensitivity feel the similarity?
Well, if he had already known, he would have noticed the similarity and told Lapis before Lennok even arrived.
However, the reason Lennok kept this without telling anyone was that the fact that no one had noticed until now might itself be a clue.
Although it was difficult to hide after confirming the illusion like now.
“According to what Ban said, it ans that the barrier guard invited by the fortress was Jindun himself… … . It’s difficult.”
“I can think of two possibilities.”
Lennok saw it and spread two fingers.
“First, Jindun, who was challenging the ascension, secretly moved to seal the cracks in the fortress for so reason.”
“second is?”
said Lennok, who folded his second finger.
“Jin-dun, who was a mortal, and Jin-dun, a transcendental person who had already challenged ascension, existed at the sa ti.”
“… … .”
Evelyn kept her mouth shut.
Because the assumptions Lennok was talking about were too absurd for her to think.
The past and present selves exist at the sa ti and leave traces.
Is such a thing truly possible for a living, breathing human being?
However, even though Evelyn thought so, she couldn’t easily deny Lennok’s words.
“Don’t you think it’s not impossible for transcendentalists who want to change the pre-determined ending?”
As Lennok had said, she did not know how far the miracles granted to ascendants would extend.
Instead, Evelyn wanted to hear more of Lennok’s thoughts.
The opportunity to have such a deep conversation and understand his underlying mindset won’t co often.
“What made you think that?”
“Because the barrier of the fortress and the magic of the labyrinth are very different. I felt the similarity, but the difference between the two magical powers is strong enough to feel completed after hundreds of years.”
Lennok stared into Evelyn’s green eyes.
“Did Jindun intentionally hide his magic or was it a trace he left behind for so reason… … . Which one do you think?”
“well… … .”
Evelyn touched her ear and avoided Lennoc’s gaze.
“At least you seem to have already decided on an answer.”
Just as Lennok was about to reply, a piercing noise rang from the other side of the road they had passed.
coo… … !
A thinly diluted impact sound like an echo.
However, it was an artificial sound that could never be thought of as a coincidence in this labyrinth.
Right after that, the scent of magic flowing in like a ripple from the other side made the two n et their eyes at the sa ti.
“Does it seem right?”
“okay.”
Lennok answered, taking a cigarette from inside his bosom and lighting it.
“You are the first person with Aspect Powers to et in this labyrinth.
“The more people there are, the more this side’s advantage fades. If possible, let’s think of losing the body first.”
Lennok nodded at Evelyn’s words as she quickly cleared her tracks and stood up.
In the process of entering the labyrinth, didn’t it attract attention to a sowhat excessive extent?
Since they destroyed the entire snowy mountain and entered the labyrinth first, considering the victims in the process, there must be quite a few people gnashing their teeth at them.
If you et for the purpose of exchanging information, you may get into a fight or a battle.
It is not that the battle itself is reluctant, but it is difficult to get out of this labyrinth where you do not know where to run.
Of course, Lennok thought that if he was with Ibelin, he would be able to deal with any powerful enemy, but since
eting the Ascendant took precedence over killing the opponent, it was right to act in a way that did not cause a conflict as much as possible.
wheeeeeee… … !!
A cold wind blows in the darkness of the corridor.
In the thick blood mixed in between, the faces of the two naturally hardened slightly.
The very mont when mysterious magic filled the corridor and approached slowly.
thud!
With the dull sound of sothing falling, sothing rolled out of the darkness to reveal itself.
It was a human head that appeared after rolling half a turn from the bottom of the labyrinth.
His face is full of traces of terrible pain, as if his throat had been ripped out alive, and the cross section of his neck is coarsely torn.
“… … .”
Lennoc and Evelyn were silent for a mont, and
then soone in a robe stepped forward from the darkness.
A sticky, slimy magic that emanates from the whole body. A complex magic pattern that makes it impossible to guess the formula system.
Even life reactions that overlap and spread out so much that it is hard to think of them alone.
7th level Ascendant. There is no doubt that he is a magician who has reached a considerable level.
Lennok and Evelyn naturally t each other’s gaze and slightly opened their distance.
Even if you don’t try to attack first on this side, the odds are good enough. It’s not too late to check how they co out from the other side and enter the battle.
As the two thought so, the mont they ward up their mana,
the robed figure stared blankly at Lennok’s face and said,
“I didn’t expect to et you in a place like this.”
“… … .”
A man’s voice, as if he had heard it sowhere.
The man continued without waiting for an answer.
“I heard the news that you participated in this work, but I never thought I would run into it as soon as I entered the labyrinth… … .”
He muttered that and slowly took off his robe.
“Should I say good luck or bad luck?”
Narrow eyes with a snake-like impression. An expression that is not sharp enough to be sharp.
It is a face that is difficult to forget once it has been rembered.
Lennok finally recognized the young man’s face and slightly frowned.
“From the fucking beginning… … .”
The head of the terrorist organization Falchion and now a high-ranking jeweler who leads the criminal organization Elder Vine.
Zaun Ordis, who is said to be the closest to the extre in the western continent, was standing in front of Lennok.
