Chapter 353

Cradle of Ascendant (3)

Lennok confirmed only a few more pieces of information in the man’s memory and stood up.

I don’t forget to put my hand on the forehead of the man who was sitting in a daze and stop breathing.

Considering that he was a troublesome opponent, it was a neat death, but time was not easy enough to pay attention to such a place for a long time.

A reason to meet the Ascendant. The story of the tool for answering he presents was interesting, but I had to put my thoughts aside for a while.

It must be really not long before the gateway is fully opened.

We must move before others discover Lennok and Ibelin.

At the same time as Lennok stopped the man’s breath, the shape of the scale on which the two stood faded and the labyrinth appeared as it was.

In the blurring area, Lennok felt someone’s gaze, but instead of looking at it, he got up and touched his left eye.

“Whoa... ... .”

“Are you done?”

Evelyn, who was standing next to him, approached Lennok and asked.

“Who is that woman?”

Instead of answering, Evelyn raised her finger and pointed at the wall inside the gate.

A new type of droopy warrior. Three arrows were stuck in his chest, revealing the cause of death.

Lennok looked at it, grasped the situation, and nodded.

“You’ve been waiting without touching the realm.”

“In case you don’t know. Couldn’t you have just intervened first?”

“No, your judgment is correct. He was a tougher opponent than I thought. If I used my hands more hastily, the work would have been more difficult.”

“It’s all because you were watching this guy’s realm as it is.”

Evelyn sighed and patted Lennok on the shoulder.

Lennok was pushed there, staggering as he was, scratching his cheek.

“that... ... . I have nothing to say. However, this guy has succeeded in directly implementing the new possibilities of the magnetic realm with only artifacts and a few geas. I couldn’t have moved on without checking it.”

An artifact that borrows and uses someone else’s realm. And the efforts he had made to make the most perfect use of the artifact left a considerable impression on Lennok.

While killing him, Lennok concluded the possibility, but perhaps the path he chose was a new possibility to rise higher without completing the hierarchy.

Lennok, holding a complexly spinning crystal ball in the arms of the man who had stopped breathing, stood up.

Other than that, I looked for moderately usable items, but I couldn’t find anything special.

Did the man also have a premonition that he might die in this labyrinth and stole valuables in advance? As of now, it was unknown.

Evelyn watched from behind Lennok’s back and shook her head slightly.

“So far, I’ve only been lucky. I know your inquiring mind is quite high, but... ... . If you don’t want to die, you’d better restrain yourself a little.”

“... ... .”

“Can you guarantee that in a life-and-death battle, a moment of curiosity won’t ruin your work?”

Lennok couldn’t answer Ibelin’s words and kept his mouth shut.

Even Lennok knew that there were moments when he could not control his craving for magic

even though he had overcome almost all battles with victories and without any waste or emotional consumption .

But how can I explain to Evelyn that I can’t let go of any possibility in order to reach the end one day?

Evelyn looked at Lennok’s expression and started walking while laughing as if she couldn’t do anything about it.

“Because we’re moving in groups like this to make up for that.”

“Eveline... ... .”

“So, even if that happens in this labyrinth, I will help you.”

Saying that, Lennok silently stared at Evelyn’s back as she walked ahead.

It’s been a while since I’ve known her, but Evelyn hasn’t changed.

The same appearance actually made Lennok change his attitude toward her little by little.

“Let’s move quickly. It really feels like not long now.”

“... ... okay. I have to go.”

Before I knew it, the gateway behind Lennok and Ibelin was shaking faintly.

The outcome of the melee that started with the key in the circular room is about to be decided.

‘Even so, the time required at the gateway is too short.’

It took less than 20 minutes to deal with the Treasure Hunter that Lennok and Evelyn encountered as soon as they passed the gate.

I thought that the people I met inside the gateway would fight for over an hour, and went into battle, but the speed at which the labyrinth entrants were eliminated was quite fast.

‘Is it because the balance of power is relatively biased? If not... ... .’

“Evan?”

At Evelyn’s words, Lennok eventually stopped thinking and started walking briskly.

The entrance to the deeper part of the labyrinth through the empty lot beyond the gateway.

The two people who passed through the arched front door opened their mouths slightly as they saw the scene unfolding in front of them.

“This... ... .”

“It’s starting to look a bit like a labyrinth now.”

The structure is very different from the long corridors that were immersed in darkness.

“Doctor, I didn’t know you respected Jindun so much. Isn’t the crystallization of the old-fashionedness that you hate is something like Zaigis Ethernore?”

Even inside Pandaemonium, the doctor is one of the strange species that occupies a somewhat special position along with the spider.

There are not many people who like the direction of research that has abandoned its unique extreme way of thinking and ethical consciousness.

However, a typical sociopath who makes Ark shut his mouth with thoughts and perspectives that are different from other powerful superhumans, and with undeniable results.

It is different from a very high evaluation for the words that came out of his mouth, who acknowledges and accepts his immediate superiority and inferiority, but never looks up at his opponent.

[You are seriously mistaken about something. They deserve respect just for being qualified to challenge the ascension. It truly means that we are ready to give answers that transcend this world’s timeline... ... It takes a lot of determination to hold a position that encompasses both the past and the future.]

“... ... You just talk like you know a lot about Ascension.”

[Was it an uncomfortable conversation? Considering Makina’s Gate of Ascension, it makes sense. Wasn’t the reason why you came all the way here to rectify that grandiose failure?]

“... ... .”

After confirming that Maya’s expression had hardened, the hairball naturally turned the topic.

[The history of Zaigis Ethernore until he became an ascendant is relatively well preserved, and based on that, we can roughly guess what kind of life he lived. And the more you know about the ascendant, the more you realize.]

“What?”

[What it means to be qualified to challenge fate.]

“... ... .”

[There are now less than 10 people who have the qualifications left in this world. Aren’t you curious what the Transcendentalist who has lived for 100 years would have made?]

The hairball floating behind Maiya’s back spoke in a low, soft tone.

[All answers are waiting in front of me. All we have to do is cross the labyrinth that doesn’t reject anyone who approaches.] * *

A black flash cuts through the dark maze.

bang!

With a quiet explosion, the stone statue blocking the hallway split apart and the stone lions shattered.

“It seems the trap is getting more intense as time goes on.”

Evelyn grumbled as she turned her shoulders, but Lennok shook his head even after hearing her.

“There is no escape. Eventually, you will have to deal with these obstacles in some way.”

“The guys who came in in groups would definitely be at a disadvantage. Should we consider it lucky that Lapis shared Joe in advance?”

Saying that, Evelyn turned her gaze towards the countless spear blades protruding from the wall.

Not only the place where the two are standing, but every corner of the road they have passed is crushed and ruined.

A structure in which a wall or floor rises and the ceiling collapses.

The labyrinth itself structurally continues to narrow the space, making it impossible for several people to move together.

If they succeeded in maintaining the number of people by entering the depths of the labyrinth, each individual would be an excellent player, but that is why they are subject to stronger space restrictions.

Even if you can withstand this level of trap and space reduction, you will eventually have to divide the number of people and reduce the number of people as you go deeper.

“The number of people following behind has increased. After trial and error, it seems that forces have emerged.”

Evelyn, who was concentrating with her ears pressed to the floor, spoke.

Inside the labyrinth filled with the ascendant’s magical power, the sense of magical power does not work well, but the vibrations that spread out as the superhumans use their power nevertheless resonate through the labyrinth.

While Lennok was leading the way, Evelyn was using her sharp senses unique to archers to check the number of people following from behind.

“are you okay. It seems that we have arrived close to the second gateway.”

“That is fortunate.”

“and... ... . Perhaps the third will be the final gateway.”

Lennok’s eyes narrowed calmly as he peered through the telescope.

The illusion that broke through the first barrier and became a young man had changed into a mature man before he knew it.

Considering the speed at which time passes for a man who appears to be an illusion, he must have already become an old man by the time he approaches the third gate.

If this illusion shows one person’s time intact, the next gateway is likely to be the last.

In other words, Jindun Zaigis Ethernore designed this labyrinth based on breaking through three gates.

Nine times, which means ninth level, and not ten times, which means true ascension, are three times.

WORLD 3.0. third world.

Three gateways created by Jindun’s Hanghasama Labyrinth.

Would I be mistaken if I thought that the number had a meaning that Lennok knew?

“... ... It can’t be.”

“Half what?”

“Arrived. Get ready.”

Saying that, Lennok moved to the middle of the maze that stretched out at three crossroads.

At that moment, the gigantic appearance of the universe turned upside down as if space were changing.

A small door rises so far high in the vast void that one might mistake it for realizing the night sky as it is, glowing faintly.

A doorknob floating at the end of the sky and the ground where Lennok and Evelyn are located.

And even the appearance of countless stones floating in between them.

A variety of blocks are floating in the air, ranging from the width that one person can barely step on to the vast size of a floating island in Lapis.

Hanghasa Labyrinth. It was the beginning of the second gateway.
