Drug-Eating Genius Mage -
Chapter 20
No matter how much Lennok lacked knowledge about this world, he knew what ascendant meant by reading countless introductory books on magic.
A great wizard who is treated as a strategic weapon alone and stirs tension throughout the continent at once.
This is because the ascendant is a word that refers to transcendent people who go beyond such archmages and truly challenge their limits.
It does not move as easily as it imposes strong restrictions on itself to overcome the limit, but the level itself is impossible to even discuss on the same level.
Great pioneers whose achievements go hand in hand with history.
The majestic pillars that support this precarious world that revolves around the city.
Among them, ‘Cheongyeon’ is one of the exceptionally special and respected pioneers.
Madrea Palsire, ‘Thousand Dogs’, lighthouse keeper of Philenom.
As a lighthouse keeper for hundreds of years, a great transcendentalist who has watched for dangers in the open sea, and a 9th-level Ascendant with fewer than 10 left in this era. A respected
Ascendant who is considered the most moderate and responsible, who
has spent a long life looking out thousands of kilometers from his seat, keeping an eye on the past and the future, and observing catastrophes crossing the timeline freely .
While fulfilling her duties as a lighthouse keeper, she has never intervened in the secular world, and has expressed her intention to participate in the negotiation process between Balkan and Philenom.
Even as part of the Dominion’s delegation.
What this means is simple. The Ascendant sided with the Dominion.
No words were needed beyond that.
As soon as Lennox heard the story, he apologized to Jordan and immediately left the bar.
If not now, I don’t know when the opportunity to confirm the existence of the Ascendant will come again.
In his hand was a small scope that Jordan had given him. Jordan had already guessed what he was going to do.
Immediately catch a taxi nearby and head to the 20th district.
The knight who had been hanging around without a customer greeted him with a smile. The radio in the taxi was also broadcasting the Ascendant’s visit live.
The taxi stopped at the central plaza in District 5 and the edge of District 19, about 10 kilometers away.
Whoops!!
Use magic to levitate and land on the roof of any nearby building.
Floating magic doesn’t move fast, but it eats up a lot of mana, so the efficiency is very bad, but now wasn’t the time to cover that up.
Lennok, who was about to climb to the roof of a building with a narrow view of the central plaza, noticed two people waiting on the roof, and frowned.
‘…..soldier.’
A sniper straddling a long sniper rifle at the end of a building and staring at the distance unshakably, and a telecommunicationsman holding a communicator and constantly exchanging passwords.
Judging by the crest on their chests, they seem to be special forces under the direct control of the city government. There are probably similar power units deployed on the rooftops of buildings above a certain height.
To place such troops in a place where you can’t even guess if sniping is possible from a distance.
It was a scene that clearly revealed how much attention the Ascendant was paying attention to in the Balkans.
What makes them faint or show themselves here is a handshake.
Because of mana addiction, I can’t use the Bisima method on my body, but it’s not difficult to fool their eyes.
I completely erased their presence with noise magic and hit the two people with a simple hallucination magic that made them unable to focus on their surroundings.
The goggles he was wearing felt a sense of some amount of magic being pushed out, but he ignored it and forcibly dug in.
Pajijik…!!
To Lennok, who succeeded in magical interference even against the same magician, the level of barrier of this equipment felt like a piece of paper.
Lennok, who walked past the two people who had begun to focus entirely on his eyes and sat down on the edge of the rooftop, brought the scope he had received from Jordan to one corner of his eye.
Originally, it seems to be something that could only be used for a sniper rifle used by a soldier next to it, but I can’t help but see it from a distance.
Mana addiction was a barrier to strengthening eyesight, so I had no choice but to use this method.
Still, the performance of the scope that Jordan gave me was okay, and I could immediately see the central square at a glance.
Tens of thousands of people fill the vast central plaza in District 5.
It was the first time I had seen such a large crowd since coming to this world.
People from all walks of life gather together and look in one direction.
Admiration, envy, respect, fear, fluttering….. Although the direction is different, no one is left behind in earnest.
Lennok also turned the scope very slightly, twisting it in the direction of their gaze.
Countless police forces, soldiers, and agents dressed in suits, no less than the gathered crowd, gathered all at once to make a wide road and wait for someone.
Someone’s voice leaked through the communicator’s communicator, still unaware of Lennok’s presence.
[Arrives in 30 seconds. Everyone stay alert!!]
[Come in..!!]
After a short time passes, a short procession of about 30 people appears.
The delegation from the Philenom Dominion finally arrived at the Balkan Central Square.
All of them had a hardened expression of fatigue.
His face is full of vigilance, and his eyes looking around are overflowing with hostility.
I could see at a glance that the relationship between the Dominion and the megalopolis was not good.
And at the center of the procession was a small old man with a hunched back and white hair.
A person walking slowly on the ground with a cane in his hand, wearing fluttering clothes with a small hairpin on his finely combed hair.
The Thousand Dog Madrea Falseer was entering the plaza. On the outside, the
crowd
gathered at the seat tilted their heads at the ordinary appearance, devoid of any dignity, pressure, or magic, but soon cheered.
In any case, the Ascendant who visited the Balkans for the first time in nearly a hundred years was warmly welcomed.
“………”
Lennok, who was looking at the Ascendant Madrea through the scope, quietly lowered his arm.
Cold sweat was running down his forehead.
I was overwhelmed.
“Crazy…”
The moment Lennok recognized her presence with his naked eyes, he couldn’t wake up to the huge shock he had never felt before.
It was a cataclysm that could not be outdone even compared to the moment when Lennok first awakened his magic in the factory.
As soon as I recognized the existence of the Ascendant, I felt the mighty magic power radiating from her body all over the city.
Feeling and recognizing with the skin, but a distant feeling that cannot be realized with the sane mind.
Because Lennok’s sensitivity was so great, and because he was talented enough to recognize the gap, he could realize it with his head.
‘This is… more than expected.’
I could understand all the reasons why the Balkan city government fell flat with such a rigid attitude.
That thing is already something to be called a living being.
Above all, a transcendentalist like me could not have failed to notice Lennok’s gaze from this distance.
He was rumored to be a very moderate Ascendant, so he thought he’d be fine, but it wasn’t easy to keep his composure in front of a monster that big.
Thinking of her gaze looking out thousands of kilometers away, I couldn’t escape anyway, but even now I can’t hide myself—- [
Can there be an effect without a cause?] What made
Lennok, who jumped up from his seat and raised his mana, sat down by his ear. It was a low voice that slammed down on me.
[In a world where the head of order bites its tail, we have been trying to answer this question for a very long time.]
“………”
I raised the scope again with a trembling hand.
Madrea Falseer seen through a high-performance telephoto lens.
He was making eye contact with Lennok.
[Your existence is the answer to that question itself.]
The envoys looked embarrassed when they saw Madrea suddenly stopped walking, but they didn’t stop her.
Just waiting for her to start moving again.
[That’s interesting.]
A one-sided transmission continues in the silence that almost takes your breath away.
[If others could see the same thing as me, I would have tried to have you at all costs.]
Slowly, Madrea looked away.
At the same time as she moved again, the envoys moved again.
The voice continued uninterrupted.
[But I now know that all that struggling is futile.]
The ascendant walks through the central plaza and into the City Hall.
It gradually disappears.
[Beware of Alkaid.]
“…… Haa!!”
Unable to hold his breath, Lennok immediately jumped down the building.
Wheein!!
Lennok, who landed safely after being floated by floating magic, breathed heavily before collapsing onto the sidewalk block.
With trembling hands, he takes out the tobacco.
In the meantime, Lenok steadily headed to the nearby smoking area, lit it and inhaled the smoke deeply.
“Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu”
Even inhaling the smoke of the medicine, the trembling heart did not calm down easily.
The encounter with the true transcendent was truly a shock that shook the world.
However, despite being overwhelmed by the Ascendant’s rank, Lennok was confident instead of cowering and despairing.
That this is the road he should be heading towards.
Climbing to the end of the ascension with this dangerous and precarious talent can be a true answer to his worries.
The reason why he opened his eyes in this world.
The fundamental answer beyond surviving day by day was right there.
It was closer to a stronger conviction than anything else to him, who believed in his own talent more than Lennok himself.
“………”
With the arrival of Madrea Palseir, the meeting that had been prepared for so long ended in an instant.
The Municipal Council agreed to all conditions put forward by the dominion delegation without any consideration.
It was already over from the moment the Ascendant broke his oath and intervened in the world.
The delegation rejected all considerations from the city government and immediately left the metropolis.
As if you don’t want to stay in this city for even a moment.
three days later
The news came that Madrea Palsire, the Thousand Dog, had failed to ascend to heaven.
A pioneer who had devoted himself to mankind for hundreds of years had returned to mortality.
