Drug-Eating Genius Mage - Chapter 343

Whoooooo!!
A cliff in a violent snowstorm.
Maya tossed the corpse she was holding in her hand and slowly loosened her shoulders.
All kinds of corpses and blood flowed down the path she walked up.
A former enforcer of the Machine City and now a member of Pandemonium, she is one of the powerful individuals who specialize in solo actions.
It was not difficult to do my part in any rough terrain.
She murmured as she lightly brushed off the blood on her fingertips.
“There is no end… … . Are there only guys like this around here?”
[There must be a lot to be gained just by occupying the snowfield area. It’s not an incomprehensible judgment.]
The hair ball floating behind her back gave off a mature male tone.
Maiya averted her gaze with a disgusted face and moved away.
“I told you not to come close. Don’t dirty my ears with that voice.”
[…] … I would have said that it was a means for effective communication. I want to focus on this one too, but there’s so much to do.]
“You think I don’t know what that hairball is made of?”
If you’re not familiar with it, Maya has already worked with the doctor a few times and knows what materials he prefers for research.
A researcher’s experimental body that has completely cast aside human ethics and moral consciousness.
Although they were working together for a reason, it was clear that they were difficult opponents to get close to.
[I know you don’t like it, but it can’t be helped. Most of the other members who moved in the North Continent didn’t get in touch with Agneta, and the only ones I could get in touch with were mentally ill people who shouldn’t be left alone.
] Where is the leader and what are you doing?”
[You know what kind of person the leader is, don’t you? That person has a different gaze from us. You’d better not expect anything, especially when it comes to organizational discipline.]
“I didn’t expect that from a criminal organization like this. What I want to say is whether collecting traces of the old world is more important than this now.”
Despite constantly arguing with the hairball, Maya does her job diligently.
As he waved his hand at the warriors who were hiding somewhere on the cliff, an unknown flash of light flashed in the air and blood splattered.
Stepping on corpses that lost parts of their bodies from all sides and head straight to the edge of the cliff.
There were a lot of people who knew how to change the nature of magical power, but Maiya was expressionless and lowered her hand as if such resistance was nothing.
Boredom as if you were doing your usual work.
However, the flow of magical energy and flashes that bounced off that hand gesture was so sophisticated that even the doctor admired it.
[It’s a method of splitting and bouncing mana in three directions, and reproducing powerful cutting power with that friction. It perfectly calculates all directions and repulsions of the launched magic power.]
“… … ”
[That’s a huge amount of computational power. Do you even carry a reminder device separately on your body?]
“Be quiet. I have to focus from now on.”
Standing at the edge of the cliff, Maya took out a wire from her waistband, inserted it, and threw herself down the cliff.
Whirly Rick!!
As the wire quickly unwinds, Maya’s body accelerates downward.
A fall without a proper safety device.
Under normal circumstances, I’d be cut off with my palms and die without even holding on to the wire.
However, Maiya casually grabbed the wire with her bare hands, stopped in the middle of the cliff, and started looking around.
[If it’s your physical ability, you won’t need wires.]
“It’s a habit.”
Dismissing the doctor’s words with one word, Maya runs straight down the steep cliff and throws herself somewhere.
Whiik!!
The place where you descend through the intangible barrier is a cave inside a hidden cliff.
Lightly settled down, Maya accelerated and started running into the cave.
The cave she is heading to now is one of the secret passages hidden in the ‘Hanghasa Labyrinth (恒河沙迷宮)’, the Sasangjeon of the Ascendant Jindun.
It was a gateway to the waypoints without going through the entrances installed throughout the labyrinth.
I don’t know if this passage I found after listening to the doctor’s words is still working, but if it leads to the waypoint properly, I should be able to reach my goal and escape before the others gathered in this snowy field.
However, Maiya’s thoughts disappeared as if washed away by the mysterious magic she felt at the end of the cave.
An old stone gate with elaborate craftsmanship.
The figure of Rob sitting with his back leaning under it and his head bowed.
Even the sticky, slimy magic that flows out beyond her slender physique.
It is not an opponent to be seen lightly.
In an instant, Maiya, who slowed down and stopped, opened her mouth.
“doctor.”
[This is a strange thing. There was no other person besides us who knew this passageway,”
muttered the hair ball floating behind her.
[The leader said that none of the people of this era would know… … If this happened, there must be only one reason.]
“What? Did you know that the leader intervened but didn’t tell me?”
Despite Maya’s annoyed words, the hairball gently stroked her chin.
[Concentrate, Mai. The opponent must be an old man who has lived since the time this labyrinth was created.]
After hearing that, Rob, who had been lowering his head, slowly stood up.
The face with the hood flipped back belonged to a young man. Even considering his rather sharp impression, he doesn’t look like an old man who has lived for hundreds of years.
The moment Maiya slightly frowned at that fact, the young man opened his mouth.
“What did the guys outside the cliff do? I would have told you to keep an eye on your surroundings.”
“I killed them all.”
she replied grimly.
“Right. thank god.”
The young man nodded.
“Are you happy?”
“Because if you didn’t do it, I was going to kill everyone myself.”
The young man, who casually gave a bloody answer, replied slowly warming up.
“You can’t even monitor the outside properly, so you’re interfering with my work… … . We have to get rid of the useless bastards here.”
“Oh, that’s very… … It’s a familiar way of thinking.”
Maiya also responded while raising her mana in line with the young man’s movements.
“So, did you have the income you wanted? A young friend?”
“Does it look like that?”
Maiya laughed at the irritated young man’s answer.
“no.”
Indeed, if the secret passage had worked successfully, the young man would not have been squatting there and wasting his time.
Unfortunately, there was no expedient on the way to meet the Ascendant.
“name is?”
“Zaun Ordis. But you don’t have to remember.”
the young man replied.
“I’m going to kill both of you here anyway.”
Charreuk!!
With that, two dazzling jewels protruded from the young Zaun’s sleeves, overlapping them between his index and middle fingers.
After confirming the jewel’s identity, Dr. Hairball immediately let out a salivation.
[It’s a great thing. It’s a gem that’s been around for over a hundred years. The concentration of magical power contained is no different from that of the Ascension level.]
“It is a legacy of the old empire.”
Zaun replied calmly.
“It is a trace of a country that served a ruler called an emperor who no longer exists.”
After hearing that, the doctor nodded.
[Right. From that old knowledge to his deeds… … I got a feeling when I heard it. I thought they were hiding inside the robe, but did they decide to become one?]
“Doctor, what nonsense are you talking about?”
Contrary to Maiya’s frown upon hearing the doctor’s words, Zaun grinned at the words.
“You are quick-witted. After all, I can’t let you live.”
As soon as those words were finished, strong magical energy blew into the cave.
Woooooooooooo!!!
The sense of intimidation that emanates from Zaun’s body is so complex and heterogeneous that it’s hard to believe it was built by a single human being.
However, Maiya let out a deep sigh even with a completely incomprehensible opponent in front of her.
“Whoa… … . You have to fight the monster again.”
[Think positively,]
said the hairball clinging to Maiya’s back.
[Wouldn’t it be a good idea to clear the competition before entering the labyrinth?]
“Be quiet.”
Maya slowly lowered her stance, and her eyes shone eerily.
“Because I plan to check that from now on.”
As Maya’s body disappeared from the spot, the jewel in Zaun’s hand shone dazzlingly.
Woooooo!!
feeze. The cliff began to shake and crumble little by little.
* * *
It’s been three days since the blue eye tried to enter the canyon where the labyrinth is located.
Not only other observers, but also organizations that were intent on keeping others in check throughout the snowfield are slowly poking their heads into the canyon.
Naturally, one-off battles continue around the labyrinth.
The canyon has turned into a fierce battleground, making it difficult for even the watchers who were waiting to watch the situation to stay still.
Woooooo!!
“No, what is that house-sized lizard?!”
“It is a spirit beast that lives in the southern continent. It would be quicker to ask Miss Grisha.”
“Isn’t that a mutated animal? Is it okay to sing in a cold place like this?”
“People who asked me… … .”
Along with someone’s summons appearing in the middle of the battlefield, other summons appear from everywhere as if they had made a promise.
Among those who rode on the beast, the expressions of the watchers who confirmed the face of a familiar colleague changed strangely.
“… … I didn’t know Godin had such talent. But what the hell did you summon?”
“Leave that side alone. Seeing that they teamed up with the same summoning love, they seem to have their own thoughts.”
The observer who said that muttered while looking up at the sky.
“Ah, the missiles are falling. Today is already the fourth.”
“Tell me quickly, dear!!!”
Aaaaaaaaa!!!
All of the people gathered here are outstanding warriors and magicians who are able to keep themselves alive even in this melee.
I’m avoiding large-scale rotations thinking that I don’t know, but there’s no way to avoid the battles that happen everywhere.
There are many people who have been fighting for leadership over the labyrinth for three days and have a lot of heat on their heads.
Death of a colleague. Financial loss. Personal gain or loss. There are various types, but there are also a considerable number of people who have forgotten their original purpose.
“To think that Jindun’s realm is such a mess… … I really don’t know what the Ascendants think. What will he think as he watches this scene?”
“Hey, stop talking bullshit and focus.”
The watcher’s voice, which had been screaming just before, subsided coldly.
“Come this way.”
The new forces found them who were breathing after the battle in the corner of the canyon.
After confirming the identity of the other, the two observers frowned at the same time.
“That wolf… … Where do you think you’ve seen it a lot?”
“Looks like we did a lot of butchering about five days ago.”
“Are you going to find out?”
“Do you mean that?”
“X feet… … .”
The moment when the two stood up with a double curse and drew their weapons to deal with the warriors riding on the beast.
Bubbubuck!!
The heads of the warriors who were running in the front exploded, spraying blood.
“… … !!”
It was an incomprehensible scenery, but the two observers put aside such doubts and moved immediately.
It quickly slices through the wolves who have lost their master and wanders around, and then deals with the approaching warriors.
Wedge liquid!!
Right after that, a black arrow passed right in front of my eyes.
Only then did the two of them realize the identity of the Wongun and smiled dejectedly.
“It was me. There really are no monsters.”
“Was it a palace? Where the hell are you shooting at?”
Even while exchanging words with each other, the hands do not stop, and the arrows and bullets that pass smoothly between the two of them pierce the enemy in front of them without a break.
A series of battles arranged in an instant. The division of roles between the front and rear ranks was perfectly matched, and victory was achieved by pressing the number of people with force.
The perfect team play was evident, except for the fact that the rearguard was so far away that they could not even be caught by the senses of the avant-garde.
Only then did the two observers sigh, then sat down between the corpses to catch their breath.
“Where on earth are you giving me that sniping? Besides us, there must be more than one watcher who received help.”
“What’s even more surprising is that Hyeongung isn’t the only one who can shoot like that.”
The watcher with a serious personality quietly shone in his eyes.
“Wizard Evan. Could it be that ultra-long-range sniping is possible comparable to the Hyeongung? … It sounds like you’re a lot more versatile than you’ve heard. It’s not for nothing that she isn’t dissatisfied with the team.”
“Thank you sniper duo!!”
The observer shook his head as he saw the man waving roughly in the direction the arrow had come from.
“… … Never call that strange nickname in front of the Hyeongung.”
“why?”
“Hmm, as far as I know, Hyungung is unexpectedly very shy about his nickname… … .”
Wedge liquid!!
An arrow pierced the bottom of his foot before he could even finish talking.
The two watchers simultaneously shut their mouths and exchanged glances.
“… … .”
No need for useless words.
Only the image of two people waving their hands in the direction the arrow flew was left.
* * *
Lennok smiled as he put his eyes on the scope and confirmed it.
“These are fun guys. I won’t die easily in a place like this.”
“You’re talking nonsense. I saved you for no reason.”
Evelyn grumbled with her ear lobe slightly reddened and raised her bow bar again.
Clap!!
The bow, which is wider than her height, unfolds like a black wing, and at the same time pulling the mantle, an arrow shaft rises between the bow bars.
Naturally, the arrowhead held between Evelyn’s slender fingers caught on the string and accelerated as soon as she released her hand.
A black flash of light that fell from the distant sky traveled several kilometers and penetrated the target.
“It’s a little off.”
While muttering that, she draws the string again. There are no devices or telescopes in her eyes.
It is the essence of archery to see thousands of meters with the naked eye as if it were the scenery right in front of you and measure the distance.
The ideal of all archers was unfolding without regret in the snowy mountains hundreds of meters above the canyon.
said Lennok, raising his sniper rifle and measuring the distance again.
“The wind direction keeps changing. Considering what happened in three days, it should last for two hours.”
“are you okay.”
Evelyn muttered that and pulled the string again.
“Because I won’t miss more than once.”
Wedge love!!
The sight of the enemies splattering blood and dying without fail beyond the scope.
A miracle that pierces more than five targets with one arrow and kills them.
But what’s even more surprising is that the whole series of sniping is done purely according to her senses.
An ultra-long-range sniping that is incomparably more intuitive than Lennok’s sniping, which uses Darby’s help to precisely analyze the wind speed and direction change pattern and support it with a secondary magic.
In the field of archery, in order to properly use this genius who has a gift from heaven.
Lennok, along with Ibelin, had camped atop this snow-covered mountain and had been pouring fire upon the valley below.
