Regrets and longings (6)

Whoa… … !!

A cold wind pierces through outstretched fingers.

Lennok, fully aware of the cold sensation, slowly looked down at his hand.

The relic ring newly fitted on 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.

Geeee 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 with my mind yet, but between the senses that feel infinitely slow by combining the ability of the ring and the demonic 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… … ?”

Lapis opened her mouth with a bewildered expression, but started looking down blankly.

Piles of dirt that seemed to have fallen randomly on Lennok’s magician began to dry out as they fell from the bottom of the island.

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.]

Right after that, Lennok’s glory resounded from the top of the floating island.

All the watchers who heard those words started to move without hesitation.

“Run away, grab it!!”

“Escape into the maze!”

“You idiots, what can you 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 the other side as soon as they enter the labyrinth, the pursuers cannot move forward even if they destroy the labyrinth’s walls.

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!!”

“Blue Eye, how could you do such a transfer without using the realm… … !!”

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 in the labyrinth, which moved and twisted differently, at this place, using Jindun’s shielding technique and magical power, even for a short time.

A crossroads in countless labyrinths that diverge as each person’s possibilities and timeline are realized differently.

It was not enough to observe the principle from beginning to end, imitation only possible because it was Lenok who met Jindun and heard the answer.

Compared to the true body of the Hanghasa Labyrinth, despite the fact that it was infinitely crude, the effect was certain.

The pursuers, realizing that there was no use in smashing one or two of the maze’s walls, rushed out of the maze, but it was too late.

The image of the floating island, which increased its speed with a lighter body, and the observers who climbed on it were moving away toward the end of the snowy field.

In this situation where I already 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 were blown away by the bombardment fired from the edge of the island.

Kwaaaaang!!

The sight of a floating island fading through the snowstorm while the pursuers swallowed the 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 be able to face each other on the central front.”

“Go back. It would be better to rummage through the ruins 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 half-upside-down floating island 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!!”

“It’s embarrassing… … .”

“Is everyone all right?”

On top of the wreckage of the floating island that 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… … .”

Seeing Lennok with a pale complexion clinging to a nearby fallen tree and gagging in vain, the observers fell silent.

In reality, the motion sickness only got worse during the moment when the floating island landed on the island, but from the outside, it looked like the crowd had come after doing their best for the viewers.

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.”

“It’s like facing the three monsters of the mage tower and flyer alone in the deepest part of the labyrinth, and 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 out, spit it out.”

“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 itinerary, I had packed all sorts of household medicines, but I ran out of them as I went back and forth between the snowfield, the labyrinth, and the floating island.

Lennok asked Lapis, who was hanging around nearby, about the first thing that came to his mind before he cared about anything else.

“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.

Lenok, who was looking at Grisha’s face, took out a potion from his chest and held it out to her.

Grisha, who was sweating profusely, saw that and widened her eyes, 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.”

“Oh, 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. He became friends with the guy he fought like he was about to die, and often turned into an enemy. 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 offering her little 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 when Oliviera came to visit her, she had shown interest in the doll Grisha had given 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 a 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 she, 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 intermittently, 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.

No matter how vast the main force is, 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 from 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.”

The moment Lennok let out a small sigh and murmured, a heavy roar rang right 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.

“Because we need to light a fire and prepare well before night falls, 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?”

Even as Lennok asked, he smiled and turned his head toward the darkening sky.

After leaving the snowfield, the cold air becomes warmer, and I feel that the speed of the sun setting has 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 realizing that it was coming to an end.

* * *

Lennoc and Evelyn stayed in the woods with the Watchers for the rest of the day.

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 each other alone with three superhumans.

Everyone guessed how fiercely the two fought in the labyrinth before reaching 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, probably impressed by Lennok’s help in the process of escaping the snowy field.

“Evan, what did this bastard say before you arrived… … .”

“You don’t believe me, do you? I always trust our boss’s discernment.”

“Don’t be a jerk, this bastard is getting a magic engineering teddy bear as a birthday present for Lapis-sama… … .”

“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… … .”

Although he had only intermingled with them for a short time one night, Lennok could clearly sense the bond that existed between the Watchers.

It wasn’t simply because they were 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 were of the kind that were 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 Ibelin 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 troubles are over, she will discuss with those she trusts 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.”

“The people who live in the city can’t understand that you go to work after you have worked like that.”

At the words of Jiel scratching his shaggy hair, the witch doctor Lance laughed.

“The value that each person values ​​is different. As long as 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 must be different.

As the blue eyes are currently active not only in this snowy field but also in various parts of the continent, it was only natural that there were watchers who were busy with their work.

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 only smiled wryly, but couldn’t give a clear answer.

I had a rough idea of ​​how to get out of the way. He thinks he already has the direction and method in his hands.

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 outcome would await at the end.

“What are you going to do?”

“Thanks to Evan-sama telling me about my grandmother, my worries are over for me too.”

“… … .”

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 been strengthening our activities centering on the east coast, but from now on we plan to move towards the front as well.”

“If it’s a wire… … .”

There were several lines that could be mentioned in the mouth of the headman who led 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.”

The Guido Church, the Spell League, the Enlightenment Flyer, the Ether Garden, the countless Mage Towers and the Mighty Gates.

Lapis was thinking of stepping out in earnest on the central front, where everyone was turning their eyes.
