Cradle of the Ascendant (4)
The two of them nodded their heads almost simultaneously, realizing what the scenery of the gateway meant.
“You’re telling me to step on it.”
“Can you try the telescope?”
At Ibelin’s suggestion, Lennok held up a telescope and tried to rotate his demonic eyes, but slightly frowned.
“... ... I can’t. I think my eyes are overloaded.”
“what?”
Evelyn turned her head and strode towards Lennok, grabbing his cheek with both hands.
“Eyes? are you okay?”
“... ... .”
Carefully flipping Lennok’s eyelids with his thin hands, he stared into his pupils with green eyes.
Lennok, who came to his senses in reverse at that unhesitating attitude, quietly grabbed her wrist and stood up.
“are you okay. It seems to be a side effect of using the Mystic Eye too often.”
“but... ... .”
“I should have been aware of this limitation as soon as possible after obtaining the Mystic Eye, but this is my mistake. In the meantime, I didn’t pay much attention to the ability of the magic eye, so it seems like this.”
Evelyn said with a firm expression.
“I’d better refrain from using it for the time being. I’ve heard many rumors that the really powerful Mystic Eye steals the user’s eyesight in return.”
“... ... okay.”
An encounter with a high-ranking cartel executive, Blaver, who was enlightened by his experience at the West Continent Branch of the Magic Tower, still has a lot of room for growth and considerable potential.
Lennok had refrained from using the Mystic Eyes as much as possible, considering the possibility of problems with his optic nerves, but rather realized that he should have known the limitations of the Mystic Eyes earlier, and clicked his tongue low.
It’s important to take care of your body and health, but if you can’t use the power of the Mystic Eye to see the telescope at the moment you need it, it’ll be impossible to maintain the labyrinth breakthrough speed you’ve been up to now.
‘I’ll have to stop by the cartel once I get back.’
Lennok was lost in thought as he gently rubbed his throbbing eyes.
Among the superhumans Lenok knew, the number of magic eye holders was very rare, but among them, there was an authority who stood at the forefront when it came to eyes.
Oliveira Lone Maze, the president of the cartel and an 8th-level sorceress with the Mystic Eye of Chilchaebo.
Now that we are maintaining a cooperative relationship, even if Lennok throws a few questions about the Mystic Eye, he won’t just refuse.
Even if it wasn’t so, recently, as the frequency of using the Mystic Eye has increased, the number of things I can do with this eye is increasing.
When you want to catch the beginning of growth to some extent, you need to set the right direction in advance.
Evelyn, who had been looking at Lennok with concern, turned her gaze to Lennok.
“I will go first. You are looking at it from there.”
Does it make sense for her, who is relatively nimble and light, to take the lead in checking the traps?
In fact, after entering the labyrinth, Evelyn was concentrating on assisting Lennok, even taking on the role of a ranger.
Evelyn leaped cautiously and landed on a block floating in the air.
Tung!
The recoil causes the block to sink slightly.
In contrast to Lennok nodding his head, Evelyn turned her gaze to Lennok.
“I’ll tell you in advance, it’s not that heavy.”
“... ... Did you mean weight?”
Even Lennok took time to understand, leaving Evelyn behind her sudden protests and moving in quick succession.
Evelyn’s new model, which disappeared right in front of my eyes in an instant, lightly stepped on the floating blocks and leaped.
I soared hundreds of meters at once and headed for the door floating in the sky.
The moment Evelyn tried to reach out to the gate at the same speed she was accelerating.
Whoop!
“what?”
Her body faded away and then she appeared right next to Lennok.
Lennox looked at him and nodded slightly.
“I mean, it’s not just a trap or a trap... ... .”
“Yes, I almost reached it... ... What was the problem?”
Lennok, who had been staring at Evelyn as she stood up from her seat while sweeping her hair, looked away.
“I wonder if there are separate rules for the order or direction of stepping on blocks.”
“rule... ... You mean?”
“Other than that, it’s hard to explain the force that forced you to move right in front of the gate.”
Lennok answered, looking up at the door floating in the sky.
“It is unlikely that Jindun is rejecting the intruder now. Then I can’t help but think it’s because I didn’t follow the order. Perhaps there is a special law operating inside this space.”
“Hmm... ... . Now it’s a bit like an ascendant’s labyrinth.”
A categorical command powerful enough to forcibly designate and move a 7th-level Aspect Ability.
If a skilled person like Evelyn couldn’t even recognize it, the technique was simply sophisticated and not natural.
In fact, it would be impossible without the ability to manipulate space according to the laws of physics.
Considering that the existence of this labyrinth was a kind of materialization created by barrier art, it was rather unbelievable even with Lennok’s knowledge.
If he mastered the art of conjugation to the limit, would he be able to create a new law that even those with Ascension abilities could not avoid under certain conditions?
Evelyn, who quickly warmed up, slightly lowered her stance and raised her magic power.
ugh!!
As soon as a light gust of wind blew under her feet, it instantly turned into a black flash and disappeared.
Run through the blocks one after another and run to the gateway.
Dig!
It appears next to Lennok without fail, but as if waiting, it turns around, grabs another block, and soars upward.
“Once you don’t match the order of crossing the blocks, it seems right that you have to start over from the moment you stop.”
ugh!!
Saying that, Eveline climbed onto the nearest block and stepped onto the next block.
After stopping for about 3 seconds in that state and waiting, her body moved through space and appeared next to Lennok.
“It is proof that this order is not the correct answer. If you cross over to the block to the back instead of the block next to it and wait... ... .”
Doesn’t move on blocks even after 3 seconds.
Evelyn spread her hands and smiled awkwardly.
“This is what I found out right away. The number of blocks is so large that it will probably take a while to find the number of cases.”
“Um... ... .”
Lennok’s gaze, lost in thought, twinkled as he turned to Evelyn’s feet.
“There is falling stone crumbs. It means that the block itself is not indestructible.”
“Oh, I know that too. I also did an experiment beforehand. but... ... .”
As she poked the block with magical power over her fingers, the block split apart as if it were about to explode.
pop!!
Evelyn looked at Lennok and pursed her lips.
“Look at this. It’s being restored again. It won’t mean much.”
“It feels like 10 seconds. It seems to reset if you stay in the air longer than that. I have to be careful.”
On the way, Evelyn stumbled and Lenok rescued her, causing a small commotion, but it was not a big problem.
Until Dabi, who was in the middle of hitting the order of the magic maniac with repetition, suddenly stopped all calculations.
[Progress 96%. Operation stopped.]
“What?”
[There is an unverifiable variable. No matter how much you transfer from this block to any other block, the remaining magic power is impossible.]
“Did you check all the blocks you have already crossed?”
Darby nodded at Lennok’s words.
Evelyn, who was waiting for Lennok’s decision behind her back, asked.
“Is something wrong?”
“... ... It seems that there is something hidden in this cavity that we have not been able to figure out.”
When Lennok roughly explained the existence of variables, Evelyn’s slightly excited expression subsided.
“It doesn’t look like you’re going to let go easily.”
“... ... Darby
said that the progress calculated by setting all the floating blocks in the cavity as variables is 96%.
If so, the number of blocks left to reach the gateway must have been few.
Where the hell did the problem occur, so that a variable so important that the brain spirit’s calculation was interrupted occurred?
A situation where even if the mana sensor is spread around the cavity, a big problem cannot be detected except for a strange sense of incongruity coming from all sides.
There was only one way.
“I guess I’ll have to wait until I can use the Mystic Eye again.”
“... ... Aren’t you overdoing it?”
Evelyn bowed her head with a worried expression.
“At the very least, you should check and move on. It would be nice if I could find the variable before that, but-”
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!
Before he could finish his words, an intense explosion exploded beyond Lennok’s shield.
A raging heat wave envelops the two. It’s never the magical power of kindness.
Evelyn, who drove away the heat wave that raged on the block with a single gesture, jumped up from her seat.
“It’s down there.”
“okay. watching.”
Evelyn’s sharp voice made Lennok’s eyes sink deep.
Dozens of supermen who appeared through dozens of doors on the common ground the two had passed through were glaring at them.
“I finally found these X cubs.”
On the day the explosion was fired, the sorcerer with a standing expression spat out thick double curses at Lennok.
“Wouldn’t it be nice to hide in a snowy mountain and blow someone’s head off? Now I’m all over this dog... ... !!”
Taaang!!
Before the magician’s words could reach the end, he collapsed, spraying blood on the flying bullets.
Lennok replied as he reloaded his rifle with a sullen face.
“If you want to say that, you should have just avoided it.”
“Urin!!”
“These motherfuckers!!”
“Catch me alive. You will not die gracefully!!”
The futile death of a colleague whose trace disappeared overhead.
There, other superhumans who were enraged screamed and jumped onto the block to catch Lennok.
Lennok stared down at them, but instead of aiming his loaded rifle again, he turned to Evelyn.
“Shall I give you three?”
“it’s okay.”
Kirik!!
Evelyn, who had an arrow attached to the shortbow tied to her left forearm, answered.
Her expression, which was full of worry about Lennok, had calmed down before she knew it.
“It’s the shooter’s job to get the timing right.”
Piying!!
An arrow shot by pulling a string is shot across hundreds of meters toward the bottom of the cavity.
The direction the arrow is heading is not the superhumans running over the blocks towards them now, but the bottom of the ground where they were just stepping on.
After 10 seconds of not being able to match the order of the blocks, the superhumans are forced to move to the ground.
“uh?”
Ibelin’s arrows shot in advance pierced the forehead in turn.
Bubbubuck!!
The latecomers who couldn’t even scream and stumbled.
There was no time to search their arms to obtain additional information.
“For arriving at the second gate first, the response was poor. It seems that military power was not good compared to search ability.”
“Or maybe I just got lucky.”
“Anyway, it seems clear that other entrants are slowly arriving inside the cavity.”
“that’s right. I can hear it.”
“... ... sound?”
There was no need for Evelyn to answer that.
Dada Dada Dada!!
A roar began to erupt through the open doors, accompanied by loud footsteps coming from outside the cavity.
Kwaaaaang!!
“Aaaaaaaa!!”
“It’s the Carbyne Knights!!”
“The Magic Tower of Enolas is here!!”
“These soldiers don’t even know how to speak. Where the hell did they come from!!”
“There is only one woman here. She is insanely strong... ... . We may all die!!”
The silent cavity suddenly becomes noisy, and shouts reverberate from all directions.
Even if the way to find the way is different, each person breaks through the real-time moving maze in their own way and approaches the second gateway.
Hey profit!!
The first to arrive were not large military organizations like the Knights or the Liberation Front.
A woman with a hard and cold impression walked out of the door in the middle of the joint with quiet steps.
In one hand, he is holding a lump of unidentified hair, and in the other hand, he is holding the collar of a dead body.
The moment Lennok stiffened his face at the strange magic emanating from her body,
Maya glanced around and quickly met their eyes at the two.
“found.”
