Echoes of Shadows (3)

The figure of a person who disappeared like a shadow.

But instead of trying to follow his trail, Lennok stared down at the mask he left behind.

“… … .”

He is still a difficult person to read.

Unlike Croken, who cannot be seen as the same life, Myung does not easily reveal its transcendent power.

But casually, like a friend who has been living together for several years, he just made a proposal to Lennok in a friendly yet blunt manner. again and again

Myeong said this was the last offer, but did he really think so? Lennok did not readily believe it.

The obsession that the monstrous warlock showed towards Lennok was quite foreign to Lennok’s opinion.

This could mean that Myung highly values ​​Lennok’s talent, but on the contrary, it could also be evidence that there are many problems that cannot be solved without such qualities.

If so, what problems can be easily solved with the same strength and wisdom as Ming?

Also, where does the trail of resentment drawn by the leader of Pandaemonium and the monsters at the end of the world reach?

In the end, in order to solve all these questions, I had to know what Pandaemonium wanted and drew.

rattle!

“half.”

Evelyn opened the train cabin door and walked in.

Her face, looking down at Lennok, hardened slightly.

“Just now, who came and went?”

Did he even vaguely notice the momentary difference between Myung and Myeong’s visit?

The intuition of an archer was also not an easy one to see.

Lennok was about to answer, but first lightly tapped the table across from him.

“… … Let’s sit down and talk.”

“What’s going on… … . isn’t it?”

Evelyn looked at Lennok with a slightly anxious gaze and picked up the newspaper.

The mask placed next to the newspaper was nowhere to be seen.

* * *

Between the ruins of the collapsed Hanghasa Labyrinth.

A cavity sunk so deep in the bedrock that no light can reach it.

A faint stir echoed through the collapsed pipes where the gateway to the cradle had been located.

Tuck, Tuck.

At first, the sound, which was felt as a simple noise, gradually increased in size and widened the vibration.

coo!!

Soon, the entire stone pillar was smashed and turned into a roar.

“Whoa… … .”

Dirt dust blows incessantly between the dark cavities.

Somewhere in the middle, a voice that sounded relieved resounded.

“How did you succeed?”

It was a naked young man who appeared through the dust.

The impressive black-haired man looked down at his exposed body and smiled.

“I thought it wouldn’t be very good because it was a body I made as a reserve… … .”

The flesh that should have been attached to the ribs was torn away, revealing the muscles and internal organs, and only the bones of the two calves remained.

When you touch your face, instead of soft cheeks, you touch hard teeth first.

If it were a normal human being, it wouldn’t be strange if he died of shock while spurting blood.

Even so, the reason the man could move normally was because he was an emergency body that was created with the assumption of this situation in the first place.

A master of black magic, and the creator of ritual warfare.

A reserve body that Ermong, a black magician who once dreamed of immortality by transcending his physical body and moving around with only his consciousness, hid it among the group of demon statues.

Ermong, who had succeeded in leaving Zaun’s body and incarnating a preliminary body to avoid Maya’s surveillance, stretched out with a refreshed face.

“Well, that’s all I had to do to stay alive. Shall we go now to retrieve my poor friend?”

Although he had told Lennok that Zaun’s existence was not that important, Ermong had been paying attention to the jeweler’s existence from the beginning.

Different types of jewels. Depending on its mystery and rarity, the jewelry technique, which can exert power beyond the master’s ability, has infinite value depending on the user.

Zaun himself couldn’t use his magic properly because he was in need of money and didn’t have much wealth, but Ermong was different.

Even if he gives Zaun only the jewels accumulated in the secret warehouse of the fallen kingdom and the laboratory of the dead archmage that remain in his memory, it will be of great help in achieving Ermong’s purpose.

It may have been a little different from before because I used up a few important emotions, but it doesn’t matter much.

The way to ‘use’ a human who has worn out to the point of being worn out, has always been widespread.

“The problem is how to get out of this cavity… … .”

Ermong, with his arms crossed, looked up at the remnants of the clogged joint with a bewildered expression.

The remnants of the labyrinth, which collapsed grandly, have already collapsed out of control and are buried deep underground so that no sunlight can enter.

It wouldn’t matter if it dug in from the outside, but if the force was projected from the inside out, the barely created balance would collapse and the cavity might be completely shattered.

With the magical energy remaining in the reserve body, it is difficult to have a smooth metabolism.

Only then did Ermong, who belatedly realize his situation, turn slightly pale.

“Wait, uh… … .? I can’t even go out like this and suffocate from lack of oxygen… … .”

“That won’t happen.”

Koo Goo Goo!!!

At that moment, the common ceiling began to split in half along with the voice heard from behind Ermong.

Black grips resembling sharp thorns grab the remains of the joint from both sides and open them wide, creating space to dig into.

The face of a black goblin giant peeps through the cool air pouring in.

Ermund silently looked up at the giant’s figure, then turned his gaze to his back.

“I thought you would do a trick like this at least once.”

Myung, a black-haired young man looking at Ermong with his arms crossed, grinned.

“You were a pandemonium man… … I can’t be like this without luck.”

Ermong droops his shoulders with a bewildered expression.

Myung stared at him intently.

Two black-haired young men looked at each other.

The atmosphere between the two was uncannily similar.

“hmm?”

Ermong also raised one of his eyebrows as if he felt it.

“Aren’t you, by any chance, my descendant?”

“It’s too late to notice.”

The person with a wry smile gestured.

“Then let’s go upstairs, ancestor.”

Charreuk!!

The black giant followed his will and grabbed Ermong’s body.

The chain on the giant’s forearm naturally restrained Ermong and held him so that he could not move at all.

It was only then that Ermong made a fuss and quickly opened his mouth.

“Wait wait wait!! No, as a descendant of mine, of course you have to take care of me first! Why Pandemonium?!”

“I have no intention of serving an old noble that has been there for hundreds of years like a master.”

The person who answered indifferently answered by riding on top of the giant’s forearm.

“And you are not even the founder of our family in the first place.”

“that… … That’s right.”

I didn’t bother to tell Lennok on the train, but Myung’s lineage is one of his special qualities, even in this world.

Five pure-bloods officially recognized as the oldest wizarding family.

The relationship between Ming and Ermong was an ancestor and descendant who shared one family tree.

Ermong, who suddenly came to his senses after acknowledging it, shouted.

“Yeah, but please help!!”

“… … .”

“My descendants will know who I am, and if you help me escape the clutches of that monster, I will gladly reward you.”

“You mean the ceremony that you are proud of?”

“Uh, um… … ”

“I’m sorry, but I don’t need it. I already know.”

Myung laughed as he looked at Ermong, who was at a loss for words.

“It looks like his head isn’t working well after switching bodies, but the drug lord used that technique. Wouldn’t you have known That’s what I told you.”

“that that… … .The vision, like the key to immortality, to outsiders… … .”

“A vision? It seems that our ancestors really thought of that technique that way.”

Myung looked down at Ermong, who was frothing and desperate, and smiled bitterly.

“With that ritual transfer technique you created, what kind of family has become… … . Haha, it’s really hard to understand what people’s greed is.”

“… … I beg your pardon?”

“it’s okay. Now, only my mouth hurts.”

As the black giant lifted his body above the mugwort, the two quickly came out to the snowy field outside the labyrinth.

There were still some people wandering among the ruins of the labyrinth, looking for a chance, but they didn’t notice the existence of the two at all.

Myeong, who reverse-summoned the giant, lightly snapped her fingers.

coo!!

Something black and thick fell in front of Ermong.

“… … What is this?”

“Can’t you see?”

People laughed.

“I want you to go in quietly and go to sleep.”

“No, this looks like it will make you sleep forever… … .”

A large black coffin.

The door of the coffin engraved with a silver cross was wide open, standing in front of Ermong.

It looks like it’s waiting with the door open as if it’s waiting for a new owner.

“Don’t worry too much.”

The person who came close to Ermong tapped him on the shoulder.

“There are so many people who want to see you. Go ahead and say hello.”

Hearing those words, Ermong looked back at Myeong with an expression that seemed to have realized something only then.

A faint fear appeared on Ermong’s face.

“Wait a minute, could it be you… … Family name… … !!”

bang!!

Myeong didn’t listen anymore and kicked Ermong in the butt and put him in the coffin.

In an instant, the door closes and the coffin slams into the ground and disappears.

Myeong looked at the scene without a word and let out a deep sigh.

“I’m getting tired of doing this… … I want to finish recovering the family traces now.”

How many things had happened before the existence of Myeong was created, before he obtained this kind of power.

And I don’t even need to tell you how long it’s been.

However, the days buried between anger and frustration, depression and downfall are bound to be forgotten in our memories someday.

Even though he clearly knows that his distant ancestor, the black magician Ermong, whom Myung encountered just now, is an existence that can be said to be the culprit behind all of this.

In the end, Myeong didn’t say anything and just grabbed him and put him in a coffin.

“… … .”

All causes and effects are the same.

As long as they are alive, they are all things that can be washed away as long as the river of time flows smoothly.

But all of that is just an assumption that can exist only on top of the very world that exists.

The dark wizard’s eyes sank deeply as he stared at the snowy field.

The moment he took another step forward, there was no trace left among the remains of the labyrinth.

* * *

Lennok and Evelyn stayed on the train for about two days after that and arrived near Balkan.

Woo Woo!!

A train station running without a break.

The train, running across the vast arid plateau, was passing between the railway station and castle that Lennok had previously passed on his visits to the Dominion.

Lennok leaned against the railing outside the train, silently admiring the swift passing scenery around him.

“Would you like to eat one?”

“thanks… … hmm.”

Lennok accepted Evelyn’s ready-to-eat food, pausing slightly when he realized that it was fried eggplant.

I knew that food was sometimes sold on the train, but how did they pick and bring only the food they liked and disliked so much?

“… … Eat it gratefully.”

Evelyn looked at Lennok, who began to nibble on the fried eggplant, with a pleased expression, and asked.

“What are you planning to do when you return to the Balkans?”

“First, check the situation on the company side, and if there is nothing special… … . I should get some rest.”

Lennok, who chewed and swallowed the tempura with a wry smile, answered.

“It is necessary to organize some inspiration from the labyrinth and refine the magic system. It will probably take quite a bit of time.”

“… … Because that’s the answer you got when you met Jindun?”

Evelyn asked carefully.

Lennok nodded.

“Climbing to the 8th level is, in the end, narrowing the possibilities, or expanding them beyond count. The advice itself that you should throw something away is like pointing out the core, albeit in a vague way.”

Why was it so late in Lennok’s rise to the highest level despite his rapid growth?

The answer isn’t far off.

Even at the time of ascending to the Aspect level, he was wandering for exactly the same reason.

At the time, Lennok was procrastinating on a decision, confused about deciding on his own image, and was afraid that his answer would be wrong and that he might not be able to change it.

So, in the end, didn’t he choose to embody the possibility of the future rather than the past and the present through imagery?

Same. Recognizing that once you have set a direction that is off the road, you will not be able to easily attempt to change it.

Lennok had put off transcending the hierarchy until he met the Ascendant himself and got an answer.

If ascending to the highest level is the phenomenon itself of overflowing water in a bowl,

It must not be very easy for Lennok, who has a bowl more vast than anyone else’s, to overflow.

That’s why Lennok needed to choose a completely different method and idea from other magicians in order to get out of the way.

“The direction is clear. All that remains now is to check my judgment.”

“… … So, what the hell is that direction?”

“well… … .”

Lennok looked back at her and tried to evade his answer, but soon changed his mind.

If it was Evelyn who helped Lennok until the very end in this labyrinth, she deserved to hear what Jindun and I discussed and decided.

“No, I will have to tell you.”

“What, what?”

Looking back at Evelyn, who withdrew with a slightly embarrassed expression, Lennok spoke slowly.

“I plan to create a new magic system.”

“… … A magic system?”

“Until now, we have simply used the necessary combinations of magic, but it is time to reorganize the rules and move to the next level.”

Lennok looked into Evelyn’s eyes with a calm gaze and said.

“We have everything you need. I will begin the work of rebuilding all the achievements and experiences I have accumulated into a system.”
