Genius Wizard Takes Medicine - Chapter 349

Hanghasa Labyrinth (3)

Instead of paying attention to Zaun’s reaction, Lennok calmly thought.

‘What should I do… … .’

We know that Zaun took an unknown opportunity and rapidly raised its own achievements.

If you think about the rumors Lapis told you, it’s probably that he gave up a little of his body to a spirit or thought body that was far more accomplished than he was, and broke through his limits through an expedient method.

Although it was already confirmed in the previous battle, it seems clear that he gained considerable power in the process.

Zaun’s knowledge and abilities aside, if you keep an eye on him up close, you might be able to determine which ally he has given himself to.

However, as Lennok felt a growing curiosity about Zaun’s secrets, he eventually decided to refuse.

‘I have Evelyn. There’s no need to try to get an extra advantage by incurring resentment.’

If he were alone, it would be okay to engage in psychological warfare, figuring out when this madman would betray him, but Evelyn is different.

I’ve left the decision to Lennok, but Evelyn’s temper probably won’t relish the idea of ​​allying with a wanted man like Zaun.

I didn’t think the situation was urgent enough to hold hands with Zaun, even ignoring her preference.

Once you break through the labyrinth, it’s not too late to think about it after encountering a wall that the two of you can’t solve.

The moment Lennok thought so and tried to answer to reject Zaun’s offer.

Waves of powerful magic burst out from the corridor Zaun passed through and swept everywhere.

Kwaaaa!!!

A torrent of magical power that engulfed the cavity and rushed towards the three people in an instant.

For a halfway user of magic power, the pressure would not be strange even if the whole body was crushed and exploded at once.

It is an intense force that is enough to recognize that the owner of this magical power is a person of considerable skill.

Zaun faintly frowned in the midst of the raging torrent.

“That shit really… … . tenacious kid. I thought you would give up soon, but are you still chasing me?”

“If you’re the one who followed that way, I’ll let you know the answer later.”

Hearing that, Lennok immediately shook his head and answered.

Zaun furrowed his brow.

“Oh, I want to see the liver, is this?”

“If you don’t intend to fight here, then you too should run away from the approaching master of magic right now, right?”

Lennok laughed.

“Didn’t you mention that you also made enemies in the labyrinth? So, it would be okay for us to think about your proposal a little more.”

“… … .”

Zaun narrowed his eyes at those words and stared at Lennok.

“He was a lot more clever than I thought. Where did you come from and what did you do?”

“Do you have time to wonder about that right now?”

Even at this moment, from the other side of the crossroads, the power of fierce force is rapidly approaching.

If Lennok and Ibelin team up with the other side to kill Zaun, the situation will be even more troublesome than it is now.

Zaun, who had been staring at Lennok with a disapproving expression, nodded reluctantly.

“good. Then, let’s talk again later.”

Standing in front of another fork in the road without regret, Zaun bounced off the jewel he was holding in his hand.

As soon as a dazzling flash was emitted as if a jewel was burning, his new model disappeared on the spot.

As if it had been promised, someone ran out from the place where Zaun disappeared right after that.

thud!!

“Damn it, did I miss it!!”

“… … .”

“This time was my chance to catch and kill the monster… … .!!”

The figure of a man striking the ground with a grievous expression.

The appearance of wearing dazzling silver armor all over the body is that of a knight.

The face of more than dozens of knights who appeared one after another following such a man. Lennok was able to realize who they were belatedly.

A melee that lasted for three days near the labyrinth. They were the ones who did not intervene in the quarrel and just watched the situation going on on the outskirts of the canyon.

Individually, they are quite talented, and their organizational skills seem to be formidable, so Lennok and Evelyn were also left alone and watched, but I never thought they were chasing Zaun.

The man quickly got his emotions under control, got up, and approached Lennoc and Evelyn.

“Sorry for the fuss. I’ve troubled you guys.”

The man shook hands with the two without hesitation and introduced himself.

“I am the Dane of Kavahim. I came to the Labyrinth to prevent the Ascendant’s relics from being taken by rogues like Zaun.”

It is Kavahim. Even Lennok had heard the name.

A city-state located in the northwestern part of the continent. The history is quite old, so there was a time when it took the form of a monarchy.

The existence of an armed group called the Knights in the city-state is probably also due to the existence of a history of being a kingdom.

There was a rumor that it was a region that produced excellent military personnel on a large scale, and as it was said, the level of the Knights was quite high.

All of them are powerful people who know how to control their own magical powers, and the Dane who leads them seems to be looking beyond the Aspect.

The magic he had just unleashed to hold Zaun back wasn’t something even Lennok could disregard.

His youthful appearance, which does not match his skills, is also proof that he has reached the end of his self-change.

Evelyn also stared at his face with a keen gaze, perhaps feeling the unusual potential of Dane’s magical power.

Dane said while accepting those gazes casually.

“I know what the two of you did before entering the labyrinth.”

“… … .”

“I thought I would cause an avalanche by collapsing a snowy mountain. His ideas and decisions are quite bold, but what is most surprising is his versatility to make them successful.”

Lennok noticed that Dane’s gloved hand was naturally resting on the doorknob, and took a slight step back.

He has fought against countless superhumans and countless strong men, but it is the first time he has faced a swordsman of this level.

How fast and sharp can a knight who concentrated all his achievements on a single sword really do?

However, Dane turned his back with a light smile despite Lennok’s wary reaction.

“Thanks to you, we got into the labyrinth easily, so we’ll pass this time. But don’t be too greedy.”

“What do you mean?”

“If Jindun really failed to ascend to heaven and left that legacy in this world, it should belong to someone who deserves it.”

Dane, who turned his back, lifted his head slightly and looked back at the two of them.

His eyes, buried in the darkness, scattered a cool white chill.

“I hope the Blue Eye will also make a wise choice.”

“… … .”

Following Dane, the other knights silently cast heavy glances and disappeared toward another fork in the road.

The knights chose the exact crossroads where Zaun disappeared and disappeared. After confirming that they were gone, Evelyn let out a small sigh.

“ha… … . It doesn’t come easy.”

“He is a warlike person. The next time we meet, it will be difficult to avoid battle.”

The reason why Dane just retreated without drawing his sword was not because he received help in the process of entering the labyrinth.

It’s because now that I’m wandering around the outermost part of the labyrinth, it’s because I judged that it wouldn’t mean much to lose my strength against the two here.

It was a confidence that was possible only when there was tremendous confidence in one’s own strength.

“At least it seems clear that he has a grudge against Zaun Ordis. We need to make that relationship usable.”

“It’s not long before the first gate. would that be possible?”

As a result of cross-verifying the journals of explorers who died outside the labyrinth, the distance from here to the gateway is not long.

But Lennok grinned and raised a finger.

“Of course. I couldn’t speak until just now… … . I succeeded in putting a tail on Zaun and Dane.”

“… … what?”

“Thanks to the gentle response to the conversation, it was easy to use. Zaun in particular seems to know a lot about the Labyrinth, so if you use it well, you might be able to uncover its secrets.”

Strangely enough, I wanted to let Zaun go smoothly, so I wonder if I was thinking of tailing him from the beginning and forgetting the secret.

Lennok’s idea of ​​tailing two 7th-level Ascendants was absurd, but what was even more surprising was Lennok’s magic manipulation ability that really made it a success.

“To boast of the superiority of information in front of me… … I’ll suck your money down to the marrow.”

Evelyn looked up at Lennok’s sinister smile with an absurd expression.

* * *

[Didn’t I tell you not to do anything reckless?]

“What are you talking about? My calculations were perfect.”

Zaun replied as they quickly ran down the dark labyrinth hallways.

Even wearing thick robes and countless equipment for use in battle and exploration, his breathing never wavered.

He is a high-level magician who has obtained a powerful magic spell called jewel magic, but at the same time has the body of an outstanding warrior.

Because he knew that it was an excellent vessel enough to obtain both powers that could not easily be reconciled, the voice was lending strength to Zaun, who could not overcome the wall.

[Just those two. If you fought, you would have been defeated with a high probability. You didn’t make a deal with me just to die in a labyrinth like this, right?]

“… … I knew the Hyeongung’s skills, but that wizard’s skills are about that?”

[This is why I told you not to stop collecting information about the Blue Eye… … . Don’t you feel anything even after trying your hands?]

A voice resounding near Zaun’s heart sighed.

Zaun frowned.

“Hey, are you saying you know how much I’ve been running around like a dog? You went into Kavahim’s heart to keep your terms of the deal, and you’re still being chased by those fucking knights. I don’t have time to mind things on the other side of the continent.”

Even now, from the back of that dim hallway, I can acutely feel the sharp magic that follows him.

But while he had a clear view of the Dane’s intense magic, he paid no attention to Zaun or his voice.

[Continues talking.]

Rather, it just turned his attention back to the topic that the voice had originally brought up.

[This is a flame wizard who appeared in the Dominion two years ago and single-handedly subdued the drug lord of Pandemonium. Nothing is known about his past, but he is very talented, and the lighthouse keeper said he went to great lengths to bring him back.]

“… … .”

[Considering the scalability of the flame magic formula, the worst opponent to fight in a labyrinth like this. I know that your speech is nasty, but as long as there is room for a deal, try not to offend me.]

“Hmm… … .”

[Shouldn’t I be more ignorant of the trend of the continent than I, who just woke up in this era?]

Advice mixed with faint ridicule. Anyone else would have crushed his head and turned it into a paste without thinking.

However, even though Zaun openly heard such sarcasm, he only frowned and did not respond.

What does it mean to self-harm your body? The opponent is a monster who doesn’t feel any physical pain anyway.

Instead, Zaun listened to what the voice said and turned his thoughts the other way.

“If that unlucky wizard is such a useful guy, I’ll have to think of a way to use it in this labyrinth.”

[I would have told you that you wouldn’t be such an easy opponent.]

“I don’t have to make plans. After all, if you want to pass through the gates of this labyrinth, they will have no choice but to move. If you aim well for that gap, you will be able to take advantage of it.”

[after… … I have a lot of worries. How long are you going to pretend to be proud with the knowledge I gave you?]

A voice that speaks like a child. Zaun was irritated, but he tried hard to suppress his emotions.

A piece of jewelry the size of a house that I obtained while exploring the ancient ruins of the Northwest.

Even when the grudge that was trapped in the gray glow spoke to me, I never thought that I would become such a useful ally.

In the process, he gave up part of his body and exchanged restrictions and trades, but he wouldn’t have come this far without the advice and knowledge of the voice.

I remember the last thing that happened in the big city. Even the face of a wizard named Ban.

The figure of casually breaking through in front of a state that one could not reach.

Rather than feeling jealous and inferior to that figure, didn’t they leave the vicinity of the megalopolis and come here because they were afraid?

But now it is different. If it were now to complete the hierarchy of the jewelery ceremony and look beyond it.

And after obtaining the Ascendant’s Artifact and taking it to another level.

“I need to stop by the Balkans once this is over.”

[It won’t be too late to think about that after safely escaping this labyrinth.]

Zaun laughed at the voice’s words.

“do not worry. Looking at this situation now, don’t you know? We are almost there.”

Zaun stopped in the middle of a dark spot in the hallway and peered into the darkness of the hallway he passed.

Even now, he could still feel the Dane chasing him from behind at breakneck speed, but it didn’t matter.

As long as we’ve reached this point safely, any pursuit won’t mean much.

ugh!!

Place your hand on the fifth brick from the bottom of the outer wall of the hallway and rotate your magic power. Three times to the right, once to the left.

Finally, when I blew the words I had memorized in advance, the walls of the hallway turned over and the entire place where Zaun had been was overthrown.

rattle!!

Zaun, who had moved inside the wall in an instant, raised his head and looked up at the staggering steps in front of him.

“The information you gave me has never been wrong. We have an overwhelming information advantage in this labyrinth.”

The voice didn’t say exactly what era it was from, but it was clear that the history was well over hundreds of years.

Without doing so, there was no way he would have known so well the labyrinth of Jindun’s Hanghasa, which was built over hundreds of years.

No, maybe he didn’t just know about the labyrinth, he might have been in direct acquaintance with Jindun.

Zaun thought about it vaguely, but was patient enough to ask the voice directly about it.

It was because he had roughly guessed that the voice himself had to be willing to tell him.

“don’t worry. I will undoubtedly be the first to obtain the Ascendant’s Relic in this labyrinth.”

The new model of Zaun leaves behind the confused knights outside the hallway and runs up the stairs in an instant.

Inside a whirlwind maze with different thoughts and goals.

But no one noticed that a faint thread of sorcerer shone through the hem of Zaun’s robe.
