“… … .”

Rapper took a quick look around and then fell silent.

It was because he understood how absurd the scenery he was seeing right now was.

Quite a dozen magic users. They are also professionally trained soldiers.

Even after fighting against such superhumans, there is no trace of a violent explosion or impact in the vicinity.

Proof that dozens of superhumans were all killed at the same time the battle started.

Even so, is it really possible that there is no loss in the magic flowing from his body?

A magician beyond common sense. I heard the story from Lapis tirelessly, but I didn’t think it would be to this extent.

“Since we’ve sorted out the intruders, let’s finish talking about it earlier.”

Rapper, who cleared his throat, slightly changed the subject.

“Did you say you would tell me information about Croken if I told you the secret of my image?”

“… … .”

“As you may know, I already deployed the microcosm once during the battle. It is because it is an essential process for a certain level of the doctrine of the god I serve.”

“Know.”

Lennok said, looking down at Lappard with his chin on his chin.

“Perhaps the microcosm itself is the essence of the power you use right after the form unfolds with little activation time or mana consumption.”

“… … If you know that far, I have nothing more to say. Shall we show it properly one more time here?”

Rapford asked.

After realizing that he dealt with the soldiers of the Baracheda Liberation Front much faster than expected, his attitude is strangely cooperative.

Maybe it’s because he has a dog’s head, but even the way he arranges the order resembles a dog.

Lennok shook his head instead of expressing such an idea.

“No, that’s okay.”

Lennok nodded.

“Because that is enough.”

At the same time as he said that, something hazy began to appear behind Lennok’s back.

Woooo!!

A whitish spiritual body completely different from the form of the tree giant that Lappard summoned above his head.

The appearance of a young that draws a much sharper and more sensitive form than that. But it must have possessed a power similar to that used by Lappard.

Lappard opened his mouth wide after confirming the appearance of the spirit body floating above Lennok’s head.

“Oh no… … How do you… … .”

“There is some degree of mastery in necromancy itself. I’ve seen similar things a few times.”

replied Lennok, straightening himself up.

It was not wrong. There were times when warriors assisted by spiritual bodies similar to Lappard’s or Craig’s gun had unintentionally dabbled in necromancy.

In addition, Lennok, who recently worked with Aris on summoning magic, has become accustomed to the concept of summoning something.

Although the power used by the dog-headed giant was more like a ritual based on faith and spiritual power, far from magic.

It wasn’t difficult to follow the flow of power Lappard showed during the fight itself.

In fact, wasn’t it that he borrowed Darby’s power to quickly dispose of the soldiers of the Liberation Front and made a high place to look out for Rapford?

At the moment the microcosm unfolds, engrave and contemplate all the violent changes in magic power, and guess how it will be used.

It wasn’t simply due to Lennok’s magical powers, but it was an acquired result obtained by observing and remembering thousands of magical flows in countless battles.

The totality of the experience accumulated while dealing with countless opponents of the same level so far.

It’s been quite some time since this became possible, but there was a reason I’ve only recently checked again.

“In the end, the form and ability of the spiritual body is a consciousness that depends on the source image and doctrine. It must have been a similar method to replace traces of the Croken in me, right?”

Lennok murmured as they walked down the snowfield.

“If the tracking ability is strong enough to follow the traces of the spirit rather than the physical traces, it seems impossible unless the image itself is deeply intertwined with the Croken.”

“that… … .”

Lappard, speechless, stammered and hung his ears.

“I don’t even need to explain. Was this what you were aiming for from the start?”

“It’s not like that, but I thought I would like to know the principle if the imagery you have is part of your powerful tracking ability.”

Lennok murmured as he looked at his spiritual body that floated above his head.

“But this doesn’t mean much to me. The spiritual body won’t work properly unless it’s an image and way of thinking that fits the necessitated consciousness.”

“Um… … . You already proved that you have a talent for necromancy at the point of summoning the spiritual body. Maybe I can even accept the doctrine of God I believe in.”

“No, it’s okay. It borrowed the form of rituals and spells, but in the end, this is a power created for people with physical abilities. As long as I can’t project my image, a big help in the end is-”

Kouu!!

At that moment, the spirit body floating above Lennok’s head suddenly started shaking like crazy and changing its shape.

While Lennok and Rapford cast their gazes over their heads almost at the same time and made blank expressions, golden ripples appeared on the body of the spiritual body, and a tremendous amount of mana was scattered in all directions.

Aaaaaaaaa!!

A roar like the splitting of the world, like when a golden kaleidoscope unfolds in the magnetic domain.

Right after that, Lennok, who confirmed that the spiritual body was erupting and trying to increase the number, jumped up from his seat with an unusually embarrassed expression.

“This… … what? what the hell is this… … .”

While Lappard muttered with a bewildered expression, Lennok, who grasped the situation, moved in an instant.

Standing face to face with his own spiritual body, Lennok quickly made a hand sign with the vibrating figure in front of him.

What I want is the seal of the summoning magic. At this point, the necromantic ritual is overwritten with summoning magic to forcibly cancel it.

Woooo!!

Immediately after that, the image of the spiritual body faded and disappeared, and the magic power that had been driving over the snow field gradually lost its balance and began to disappear.

“Whoa… … .”

“… … .”

‘I almost got into trouble.’

Lennok sighed as he confirmed Lappard’s gaze, looking at him with a blank expression.

Considering the shape of the kaleidoscope that just floated on the surface of the spiritual body, it wasn’t hard to guess what had just happened.

As Lennok’s image was projected onto the spiritual body arbitrarily created following Lappard’s method, the spiritual body that exceeded its limits caused overload.

It wouldn’t be strange if an explosion or anomaly occurred that was out of Lennok’s control if he had just foolishly let go.

It is a good thing to confirm that there is still room for study in the concept of the code itself, but I did not intend to disclose it in such an open place.

Lennox nodded at Lappard, who was still reeling from what had just happened.

“Go back to the floating island. On the way, tell me about the Croken Asilus.”

“Uh hmm? Joe ok… … . i get it.”

After hearing that, Lappard came to his senses and started walking after Lennok.

Strangely drooping ears and drooping tail.

I don’t know why what just happened, but I’m sure it’s because I’m aware that Lennok’s power is more than I thought in the process.

Lennok deliberately started telling Rapford information about Croken first to distract him.

At first, he seemed unable to pay attention to Lennok’s words, but when he talked about the crocodile giant’s actions in earnest, he quickly began to pay attention to it.

It must be because his obsession with Croken and his feelings for revenge are so strong.

They were a little farther away than when the battle started, probably because they had told Grisha to spread their distance right before they came down from the island.

While Lappard was silent after hearing the situation about Croken, Lennok was also lost in thought.

‘As expected, this isn’t enough… … .’

After dealing with Lieutenant General Treffen, who had stepped on the threshold of level 8, Lennok began to seriously think about escaping the hierarchy.

The self-realm of the magician who completed the hierarchy and determined the scene of the image.

A microcosm of a person with physical abilities who finishes self-modification and draws the direction of his mind.

Although the two possibilities of differentiation through one inner world were considered to be completely different paths to each other.

At that time, Treffen reorganized his microcosm and remodeled it into a form close to the magnetic realm.

Although it was not completed due to lack of time and energy, it is also true that Microcosm: Iron Machine Spirit Communication, which projected his twisted image, was closer to that of a magician than the power of a person with physical abilities.

If so, isn’t the fact that you can freely go back and forth between the two paths with one image itself is proof of reaching the 8th level?

He was thinking that handling both of the powers given to the status quo might be a clue to reaching the 8th level.

However, right now Lenok can’t even handle his own magnetic field perfectly, so trying to change this image into a microcosm is tantamount to committing suicide.

If your own capabilities are not enough, how about taking steps from imitating the already completed microcosm?

In order to solve the question, I dared to agree with Rapford’s proposal and observe his microcosm, but I could not get the income as expected.

‘It’s also difficult to imitate someone else’s microcosm. The original image is missing.’

The key to developing the magnetic realm or microcosm is the primordial image nestled inside the caster.

No matter how perfectly he imitated and imitated the exploding flow of mana, it was nothing more than a shell.

The microcosm in which Lafford’s intuition is projected into his sense of smell is the essence of time he has accumulated since he was born with sensory organs superior to others.

Although Lennok could read and follow the magical flow generated in the process, he could not bring it to his heart.

‘It is the worst result to shake the ego while forcibly imitating an image. The kaleidoscope alone is already dangerous… … .’

Imitating the microcosm is just part of the way to rise to the top.

Lennok had no intention of changing the scene or direction of the image he had just decided upon.

Because the kaleidoscope of possibilities he drew with all his abilities and talents had the potential to stand above any image.

It is already a miracle just to draw the scene in my mind that I have only vaguely thought of.

I had to refrain from being greedy in the wrong direction here.

But if you think about how far the strength and power of the monsters you will meet in the future will reach… … .

“Evan?”

Returning to the floating island, lost in thought, Lennok suddenly raised his head at the voice of Lapis.

She and other observers were watching him with their mouths closed.

Ascendant level physical ability. It is not a simple surprise to see a wizard who has subdued an indomitable warrior who survived countless battlefields without using his territory.

The fear of looking at an incomprehensible being. Marvel at the height of something completely different from what you might think.

Jealousy and vigilance towards those who are much superior to those expected.

No matter how many times I go through it, I can’t feel comfortable at all, but now I’m so used to it.

Lennox nodded, guessing to some extent the reason for the emotions in those gazes.

‘It must be because of Darby.’

The Baracheda Liberation Front was using Gearside’s equipment, and Lennok, who had already gained control of the network through Darby, was able to deal with them with futile ease.

However, to other observers watching the whole story above the floating island, it must have seemed that Lennok killed the soldiers instantly in an unknown way.

It wouldn’t be strange to see Lennok as an incomprehensible monster rather than a mere wizard.

“great job.”

Someone casually put a hand on Lennok’s shoulder and whispered.

“… … Eveline.”

“Today, let’s go in and rest. I got permission from Lapis. It will be tomorrow when we select the number of people to enter the labyrinth and start securing the entrance to the labyrinth in earnest.”

At those natural words, Lennok skillfully relaxed his expression and laughed.

“… … okay. I’ve been awake too long today It’s time to take a break.”

It’s been over a day since I received Lapis’ call and responded to her call by crossing thousands of kilometers.

As soon as he was summoned in the middle of the snowy field, he rescued her, dealt with the enemies, went on to the floating island, went through a meeting, and even took care of Rapford’s opponent.

“I’m too lazy to maintain a floating island, so I won’t participate in grouping. See you tomorrow.”

“I hope to be on the same team as Evan.”

At the same time as Grisha and Seon Seon gave their own greetings and disappeared, Lennok and Evelyn also moved toward the mansion inside the floating island.

The other watchers made way for them, as promised.

“What do you mean by team?”

“After the convocation order was over, we decided to move in groups of two to secure the main entrance to the labyrinth.”

“Two-in-one?”

“As other watchers besides Ban you were summoned, the number of heads on our side also increased considerably. I was engrossed in not being pushed out of the snowfield, but now I will have to enter the labyrinth.”

Evelyn said in a nonchalant tone.

“We will select the entrance with the map obtained in advance and form a team to enter the labyrinth. Moving as a team of two is like that insurance.”

“How are you going to do it? There must be some people whose inclinations and abilities don’t match.”

“I suggested it to Lapis and found a suitable method. It’s not uncommon for agents to need this kind of grouping.”

“What method?”

“That’s a secret. I’ll let you know tomorrow.”

“… … .”

Evelyn smiled as she watched Lennok wriggling her eyebrows.

“I’m thinking of making a random decision for now. Arbitrarily choosing team members can lead to dissatisfaction with the chain of command. All of the watchers gathered here are experienced veterans, so it seems unlikely, but… … ”

“Would you like to reduce any dissatisfaction? It’s a very prudent approach for something like that… … . what good I’ll be able to drag at least one person with ease.”

As Lennok said, he opened the door assigned to him.

If there’s a good thing about summoning the entire floating island, is it that you don’t have to lie down in the snowy field with the night sky as your blanket?

Of course, this mansion wouldn’t be able to last long in the ascendant’s magic, but it would have been enough if it could hold out until it entered the labyrinth.

widely!

Lennok was about to close the door, but tilted his head at Evelyn, who naturally followed him into his room.

“… … What happened?”

clap.

Evelyn didn’t say anything and locked the door.

The moment Lennok stopped talking about the sudden action, she strode over and sat down on the bed in the corner, staring blankly at Lennok.

“Imitating Rapford’s microcosm was a very risky move. you know?”

“… … .”

Lennok forgot to answer for a moment and met her transparent eyes.

She seemed ashamed of being nicknamed the Archer of the Green Jewel, but Lennok thought that nickname suited Evelyn well enough.

An indifferent expression and a cold tone. However, I was able to understand her thoughts to some extent from the gaze that blended without hiding emotions.

“… … I knew it. I thought you wouldn’t replace out.”

“You are an archer. My eyes are pretty good compared to other people.”

Lennok laughed at Evelyn’s ferocious figure as she smiled faintly and raised her eyes open with both hands.

After checking Lennok’s expression, Evelyn nodded with a slightly relieved expression.

“I just wanted to talk about it. You seem to be worrying a lot.”

“… … .”

“I once helped you with your combat training on the way to the volcano.”

She asked, cupping her chin with both hands.

“Do you remember what I said back then?”

“I remember. I was worried about how far I had to cross the line to go up.”

Lennok nodded.

“It was hard to remember at the time, but I can understand it now. Maybe the extreme is… … .”

“It might be the process of giving up something you shouldn’t give up.”

“… … .”

“Because there are more or less fixed ways to walk along the road, but different ways to get off the road.”

Evelyn’s green eyes shone softly.

“Then, in order to get out of the way, wouldn’t I have to act in a completely different way than I did before?”

Aspect by completing the seven stages of self-change that form the superhuman hierarchy.

However, although the fruits obtained in the process are different depending on each image, the process to reach that point is somewhat fixed.

Changes in the nature of magical powers learned at the 6th level. Basic areas learned in the latter half of Gunwi.

The scene of the realm and the microcosm that awakens when reaching the 7th level Aspect. And even the process of deciding the image.

The trial and error accumulated by countless pioneers in the history of this world vaguely depicts the path to completion of the hierarchy.

However, the state of the 8th level extreme is different.

It is a process of newly transcending beyond simply completing the hierarchy.

And the meaning of going beyond the set rules has to be applied differently to everyone.

Rules, methods, meanings, and concepts are different.

However, there are only fruits that can be obtained as a result of reaching the extreme.

It was a completely different kind of vagueness from replaceing and completing your own image before reaching the 7th level.

A state where only the result of reaching there exists without a method and path set.

That’s because the name of an 8th-level superpower is accepted in different ways by everyone who challenges it.

The process of reaching an outcome by following an undefined path.

It is through that kind of awakening that he has risen to the realm, and as a result, he must have come to realize the skill of interfering with time and space.

There was a reason why sorcerers who had reached level 8 were called the great mages.

It is so vague to reach the highest level, how much more difficult and arduous it is to reach the ascension.

Just having the qualifications to challenge the ascension was enough to rise to the 9th level and be called a transcendent, so it was difficult for Lennok now to guess what that feat meant.

“How are you, Evelyn?”

Lennok asked.

“At that time, on the way to the volcanic area, you were contemplating what to throw away in order to go up.”

“… … .”

“Now and not thinking about it anymore… … . Is it because there is no need to worry anymore?”

* * *

Early morning the next day.

Lapis, who gathered the observers who had taken a six-hour break, opened his mouth.

“Everyone, please pay attention.”

All of the people gathered here are skilled people who are accustomed to fighting. There are only those who have been fighting for a month in harmony with each other.

For such people, 6 hours is a relatively long maintenance time.

However, even after such a sweet break, the lookers’ faces were faintly stiff with tension.

The reason why Lapis managed the condition of the viewers to this extent.

This is because everyone knew that it was in order to enter the deepest part of the snow field immediately after this grouping was finished.

She raised the black box she was holding above her head so that everyone could see it.

“It contains thirty jewels, each of a different color. The people who drew the same color jewels can randomly form a group and disperse.”

Onlookers opened their mouths slightly at the fist-sized jewel protruding from her hand.

To replace the tool used for grouping with a jewel the size of that. How many accumulated wealth is it possible to do?

If Lapis had intended to show off the status or financial power of the Blue Eye, it was clear that it would be an effective performance beyond anything else.

After Lapis’s words, the watchers began to pick up the jewels one by one.

Colorful jewels came pouring out, and people quickly formed a team.

If you agree, you form a group, and if not, you politely decline and wait for the order to end.

This is possible because everyone gathered here has the ability to move alone and understands the reason for forming a team.

Although there was an uproar due to a difference of opinion at the conference room earlier, it only happened because he had that capacity and arbitrary judgment.

Lapis didn’t attract halfway talented people in order to inflate the size of the organization.

Rather, he reached out his hand to those who knew how to think for themselves in any situation and could agree with her will with their own will.

Even in the middle of this simple lottery, Lennok could read that fact, albeit vaguely.

Even if the team is formed in such a crude way, if the individual capabilities are outstanding, it will go through a fairly plausible decision-making process.

‘Eveline… … .’

Looking at the long line from behind, Lennok was silent in his thoughts.

An unexpected possibility discovered in a spiritual body that mimics Lappard’s necromantic consciousness. A conversation about the highest level with Evelyn.

How far did her answer really reach? Lennok was able to get some clues from yesterday’s dialogue.

‘I never thought I would have thought that way.’

Did he arrive at a different answer from the way he answered Lennok on his journey to the volcanic region?

Hearing her words, Lennok had no choice but to reflect on the concept of supreme position he had been thinking of.

Whatever the case, there was something to be learned from her way of thinking, having lived as an agent for a long time in a megalopolis.

It would be nice if I was in the same group as her in this grouping in terms of having more conversations about that level… … .

‘That won’t happen.’

Lapis is no fool. Among the watchers under her command, there was no way she would arbitrarily place the two most powerful people in the same group.

Even if the two of them end up in the same group due to an unexpected coincidence, they will eventually try to make the best group through their own agreement.

The only possibility that Lennok could think of was that he hoped that Lennok would receive a favorable greeting like Seon-seon or Gehrig.

The moment Lennok looked away thinking that way.

“Whoops.”

Evelyn glanced sideways at Lennok, letting out a sinister laugh.

The moment their eyes met, she turned her head like lightning.

There was nothing he could do about the cold sweat running down his reddened neck.

“… … .”

“… … .”

what the hell are you thinking

Lennok sighed and raised his gaze to the sky.
