Genius Wizard Takes Medicine - Chapter 350

Hanghasa Labyrinth (4)

“found.”

Lennok, who had been concentrating with his eyes closed, immediately stood up.

“I heard that you were too relaxed while being chased by the Knights, so there was a corner where you believed it.”

“Did you find Zaun?”

“The location changed as if it disappeared at the end of the hallway. You must probably know about the hidden passage in the labyrinth.”

Lennok’s eyes lit up as he rubbed the tobacco in his mouth against the wall.

“If the knights can’t find a trace and retreat, let’s follow them right away.”

“What are you going to do with the vision you saw?”

“It’s not too late to check where Zaun is headed. Heading to the secret passage at this point was undoubtedly a trick to get through the first barrier quickly. Let’s follow him right now.”

“Well, whatever happens, the priority is to pass through the gateway… … .”

Evelyn immediately agreed to Lennok’s suggestion and started moving down the hallway.

A fleeting moment when Zaun was distracted by the Templars. Lennok had succeeded in attaching the magician previously installed in the cavity to the back of Zaun.

Even Lennok did not expect that it would be used in this way, although it was a measure to check the competitors who arrived late.

‘It must have been worth remembering his magic pattern… … ‘

There is no way that Zaun, who has reached level 7, will not notice it if he simply attaches Lennok’s magical power as a trace.

Because Zaun’s magic pattern was similarly imitated and attached, he was able to deceive Zaun’s senses and catch the tail in this labyrinth where magic perception was disturbed.

Lennok and Evelyn immediately followed the path of the Templars and reached the location where Zaun had last disappeared.

Evelyn put her hand on the wall and shook her head slightly.

“There is no trace of dust, frictional heat, or wind. If I hadn’t noticed, I wouldn’t have noticed at all.”

“There is hardly any trace of magic power left.”

Lennox said and slowly put his hand on the wall.

“But that’s enough.”

Immediately after that, Lennok’s left pupil turns to purple light, visualizing the realm of countless possibilities.

Wheein!!

Others might think it was simply the magical power scattered by Zaun as it moved, but Lennok, who knew the truth, saw something a little different.

Inferring the direction and pattern of the traces on the wall through the traces of magic left by Zaun and imitating them.

The magic power spinning in Lennok’s hand rotated just like Zaun, opening a hidden passageway.

Koo Goo Goo!!

Evelyn’s mouth opened slightly when she noticed the stairs stretching endlessly upward from inside the wall, and Lennok’s gaze sank low.

“… … .”

“let’s go.”

What is the purpose of Jindun’s creation of a huge labyrinth in the canyon of the northern snowfield?

For what reason did they stay silent in this huge labyrinth for hundreds of years and ignore the people who come and go in seclusion?

This labyrinth is vast and complex to the point of being too vast and complicated, but on the contrary, it is not so exclusive.

If Jindun’s purpose had not changed, would the existence of the Hanghasasa Labyrinth itself be a tool to challenge the ascension?

The answer is unknown.

I have no choice but to reach the end of this labyrinth and see all the truth with my own two eyes.

Both Lennok and Evelyn knew that at the current breakthrough speed, that moment would not be far off.

“Huh… … Now, shall we take a break for a while?”

“… … .”

Of course, this was a story when Lennok’s low-quality stamina was not taken into account.

* * *

“Whoa… … .!!”

Lennok, who managed to reach the top of the stairs while holding on to his wobbly legs, let out a deep sigh.

“You did it… … .”

Even if you don’t try to express it, you can feel a proud sense of achievement in your voice.

Evelyn, who followed from behind, shook her head with a puzzled expression.

“So I’m going to go up on my back.”

Even after stepping on thousands of steps, Evelyn didn’t break a drop of sweat.

His complexion was completely opposite to Lenoch, who was out of breath and sweating coldly.

7th level Aspect level physical ability. If that’s Evelyn, who has already surpassed her limits, running down the stairs with a Lennok on her back would not be a big deal.

But Lennok, knowingly aware of the offer, flatly refused.

“It’s a situation that’s on Zaun’s heels. It was necessary to hide any traces of magic power as much as possible, and prepare for unexpected situations.”

There was a reason why he didn’t smoke cigarettes and didn’t use floating magic.

In addition, if Evelyn is carrying Lennok, the response to an unexpected situation becomes slow.

Should Zaun, by any chance, notice one of them following and launch an ambush, one of them should have been able to deal with it immediately.

As a result of various circumstances and thoughts, Lennok took on a considerable level of adventure, walking up that far-off staircase with his sober mind.

“Isn’t that just because you’re shy?”

“… … .”

Lennok didn’t respond to Ibelin’s mischievous laugh and slightly averted his gaze.

Instead, he drew her attention by pointing in the direction he had turned his head.

“Look at that. After coming up, I can roughly understand why the stairs were so long.”

“That… … .”

A narrow passage at the end of the stairs. The passageway is narrow enough for one person to barely pass through.

Several tens of meters down the aisle, a wide-open boulevard is revealed.

Among all the roads I have seen in this labyrinth, it is by far the most vast and magnificent.

And at the end of the road, there was a huge gate that ten people could pass through at once.

“Can those who have broken through the labyrinth and gathered here have to pass through the gateway to enter there… … In contrast, this… … .”

If you go up the stairs, you can go through the passage and go beyond the gateway.

A shortcut to enter the inner part of the labyrinth without going through the gateway.

Realizing the meaning, Lennok and Evelyn quickly exchanged glances.

“Where did Zaun get this information?”

“… … It doesn’t make sense that Jindun doesn’t know the existence of this shortcut. I can’t help but think that I borrowed the help of an Ascendant’s acquaintance or someone who cooperated in designing the labyrinth.”

Lennok replied, glancing down at the landscape below the gate.

“In the worst case, you may have already received permission from Jindun.”

“In the end, we have no choice but to hold back until the end and check.”

“Look below that.”

Before Evelyn finished speaking, Lennok raised a finger.

“Because it seems that other people are gradually gathering here.”

Dozens of holes on both sides of the boulevard. People appear one by one from all over the aisle.

In an instant, dozens of labyrinth entrants appeared from all over the main street, confirmed each other’s existence, and slowly spread their distance.

“… … that one?”

Naturally, people’s eyes turned to the two stone statues standing on either side of the huge gateway.

Two warriors face each other and point their weapons.

Beneath its feet lay ten keys, each emitting a different light.

Those who noticed that the light from the key was the same as the eye light emitted by the statues on both sides immediately moved.

Charak!!

“Is this the first gateway to the labyrinth created by the continent’s best barrier master… … It seems that if you insert the key into the gateway, you can enter.”

“Hey, put that down.”

Towards the superhumans who picked up the key first, those who arrived later bared their teeth.

“If you wish, grab the key lying on the other side… … . Oops, it’s already eaten.”

Only then did the superhumans who realized the meaning of the first gate let out a laugh.

It’s not enough to fight on behalf of two different stone statues, so it shouldn’t be stolen by those who don’t have the key.

A structure that can not be avoided even though the intention is clearly guessed.

However, among those who entered this labyrinth, no one wanted to give up at the first gate.

In addition, the space in front of this gateway is vast, like a battlefield created on purpose.

It didn’t take long for the battle to break out.

“The ascendant’s legacy is ours!”

“Those who have no qualifications dare… … !! We have been living in the North Continent for over several decades!!”

Kwaaaang!!

Lennok looked down at them, who were instantly tangled up in a fierce battle.

“It was better. While they’re wasting their time here, we first… … .”

“wait for a sec.”

The moment Lennok said that and was about to crawl into the aisle, Evelyn pulled the end of his coat all the way.

[…] … !?!?]

Darby, who had been sleeping inside, was rubbed on the head, and the baby fox was startled and woke up.

Evelyn pointed to the back of the boulevard as Lennok frowned at the commotion inside his court.

“The watchers. I think I arrived a little late.”

“… … .”

As she said, I can see the faces of some of the watchers I met at the conference hall.

Some of them quickly grasp the situation and enter into a battle to steal the key, while others wait for an opportunity while keeping their distance.

“Wouldn’t it be nice to help?”

“I know what you’re thinking, but that sounds difficult.”

I know that Evelyn’s offer isn’t just out of sympathy or groundless comradeship.

In the end, the important thing is for any one of the Blue Eye watchers to break through the labyrinth and confirm whether Jindun is alive or dead.

If so, it would be reasonable to send the same observers into the labyrinth as possible.

“It’s a shame since we’re thoroughly hiding our magic right now, if we support our allies with sniping, our location will be discovered right away. Then the merit of following Zaun will disappear.”

“As long as your location isn’t revealed, you mean it doesn’t matter if I help you?”

“what?”

Saying that, Evelyn lightly brushed the upper left forearm.

Teeing!!

The bow of the shortbow protruded from the top of her suit, revealing the figure, and she inserted the arrow shaft between them and pulled the string.

Kirik… … !!

At the same time as slightly twisting the tip of the arrow pulled over the forearm and releasing it, the arrow that rotated counterclockwise was bent low as it was and pierced the chest of the warrior facing the observer.

“Kyaaak… … !!”

A howitzer with a different texture that appears to have been shot from a completely different direction than Lennok and Ibelin.

But what’s even more surprising is the fact that Evelyn didn’t use a single handful of magic in the process.

She succeeded in sniping a superhuman who uses magical powers only with her body’s strength and skills.

While Lennok admired that fact slightly, Evelyn turned to Lennok and grinned.

“There’s something we’ve been doing for three days, so even just letting them know of our existence in this way will be of great help to the observers.”

“… … good.”

Clap!

Lennok replied and took out a sniper rifle from his pocket.

“Then let’s help out for a moment and leave.”

On the contrary, Ibelin’s expression changed to bewilderment.

“Now, wait a minute. Using something like that here… … .”

Instead of replying, Lennok pulled the trigger.

The sound of the explosion completely masked by the silence magic. Darby, who had been sleeping well and woke up thanks to Evelyn, shot with a pained face and designated the space jump point of the bullet at the same time.

As it was, it twisted the firing angle and penetrated the enemy’s limbs from a completely different direction.

“Oops… … !!”

“It’s a sniper!!”

“They’re hiding nearby… … !!”

“Even if the bastards enter the labyrinth!!”

“Search the corridors near each one, you wouldn’t have gotten far!!”

Unlike other superhumans who scream in rage, watchers who noticed the existence of Lennok and Ibelin move immediately.

Lennok nodded as he watched some of the faces he remembered get their hands on the key.

“This is enough. It’s impossible to help other observers even reach the gates they encountered… … .”

Quite a few labyrinth entrants faced each other between the main roads, but not all of them gathered here.

The Dane of the Kavain Knights, who immediately confronted Lennok, is also nowhere to be seen.

Considering the area and width of the Hanghasa Labyrinth, it is probably facing other gateways from different directions and fighting with competitors.

It’s impossible to help even those who can’t be seen right now, such as Rappard the dog-headed giant or Lance the witch doctor.

I had no choice but to hope that he would enter the labyrinth on his own and help me.

The two got up from their seats and passed through the narrow passage and out over the gate.

After passing through the intangible screen and standing up from the inside, Lenok raised his eyes and murmured.

“The density of magical power is on a different level than before. I just passed through the gate… … . It’s to the point where I can’t feel the magician attached to Zaun.”

“I’ll have to use the deal as bait to see Zaun again.”

Evelyn shook her head and said.

“The existence of a secret passage through the gateway exists, but we must find out how he knows about it.”

“If the distance is reduced to a certain extent, it may be possible to grasp the direction. We have no choice but to move forward.”

Just before I slipped down a steeper slope than the stairs I had climbed for a long time and came down to the ground.

“… … for a moment.”

Lennok, who had a pensive expression on his face, grabbed Evelyn by the shoulder.

“Uh, huh?”

Ignoring Evelyn’s slightly flustered stutter, Lennok wrapped his arms around her neck and pressed her head down.

Right after that, the dark light that passed by fell on the spot where the two were standing, causing a huge explosion.

Kwaaaaang!!

“Just in case, as expected.”

“I barely felt any presence… … how did you know?”

Evelyn stood up from behind Lennok, who had added a shield to deflect the explosion.

Suddenly, five arrows were strung through the longbow in her hand.

Fired without waiting for an answer. The five black flashes that ran through Ibelin’s fingers raced toward the other side in reverse this time.

Its direction was on the opposite side of the gateway, on the slope where Lennok and Ibelin were located, like a mirror.

Bubbubuck!!

Lennok answered amidst the rising dust that was smashed in an instant.

“There were two stone statues guarding the gate. The main road was also perfectly symmetrical around the gateway. then… … .”

“Two secret passageways. I should have guessed that there must be someone sneaking in from the other side.”

A leisurely voice amidst the rising dust.

A middle-aged man with a bald head. And the figure of a woman weeping behind him.

Are there only two people over there? As Lenoc quickly checked his surroundings once more, the man grinned as he stroked his chin.

“I said hello because I thought I had met an excellent treasure hunter, but they were just lucky idiots.”

“Does grave robbers these days replace greetings with violence?”

Lennok smiled and asked, standing up.

“It’s a thief-like way of greeting.”

“Isn’t that obvious? Everyone you meet in this labyrinth is a competitor.”

The man nodded his head without hesitation.

Seeing that Lennok didn’t even show anything special in spite of his provocative words and actions, it seemed that he was quite a nervous opponent.

“The better your opponent is, the quicker and quicker you need to get rid of them. His hands are many and his treasures are limited.”

“… … .”

“It is the legacy left by the Ascendant after he died. It must be a treasure chest full of garages to risk the life of a hunter.”

Evelyn, who heard that, said with a slightly embarrassed expression.

“It was my mistake. Sorry, I have nothing to say.”

“… … no. I was too late to think. There’s no need to make it a problem now.”

As a result, the fact that they were hiding because of Ibelin’s suggestion was discovered by those who used the other passage, but it wasn’t a big problem since they had already come down through the gate.

The decision itself to help the watchers on the spot and increase even one ally inside the labyrinth wasn’t wrong either.

However, in order to solve this problem amicably, there was only a minor problem that the other side had to keep their mouths shut forever.

And it seemed that the other person had the same thought.

“I have a rough feeling.”

Whirik!!

The man laughed as he took out a long curved jungle sword from his waist.

“His signature secret presence, silent breathing, light steps. Aren’t they the snipers hiding in the snowy mountains?”

“… … .”

“I know that because I’ve lived longer than you… … .”

Without waiting for Lennok’s answer, he nodded knowingly.

“If you gain something, you lose something. If both of them possess that ridiculous sniper ability, it’s almost certain that the two of them combined their abilities to increase their power.”

“Hoo.”

The man’s coherent tone gave Lennok a soft admiration.

It’s amazing how you can make a perfectly wrong judgment while entering your own reasons like that.

However, the man seemed to have gained more confidence from that reaction and spoke triumphantly, as if teaching Lennok.

“In other words, if you separate the two of them one by one, it will be difficult for them to exert their power. ”

With those words, the woman standing next to the man steps forward.

Chained sickle and hammer in hand. Physical abilities that specialize in close combat. It seems clear that it is close to the front end.

With her wavy hair hanging down, she began to direct her magical energy directly at Evelyn.

“Especially the woman there. Seeing that you were protected by that mage earlier, you must have no melee combat ability at all, right?”

The man holding the jungle sword upside down whispered as he licked the blade with his tongue.

“I don’t see my opponent as weak… … . Lucky idiots are the kind I hate the most. You better be prepared.”

“What a great insight.”

Unable to contain his admiration, Lennok nodded his head.

Behind Lennok, who was clapping his hands, Evelyn muttered with an absurd expression.

“… … No, you got everything wrong from one to ten.”
