Dungeon Reset

[It can't be.]

Bahamut shakes his head firmly.

It's been a long time, but I can still remember what happened yesterday.

A hair like a black dandelion that was invitingly fluttering.

Clear eyes that were both deeply sad and bright at the same time.

The image of the witch Bahamut remembers was quite different from that of Arachne the Spider Queen.

[The spider queen is just the same hair color as the witch, but she has a very different set of necessities.]

“That different? ”

[Of course! I would have recognized you as soon as I saw you! The Witch does not make such a vulgar face as the Spider Queen.]

It was Bahamut who emphasized many times that the witch was much more beautiful.

“Well, how about this? What if that's what the villagers thought of the witches? You've always seen it from afar. It could be a little different. ”

[Hmm…….]

Bahamut flinches and changes his words.

[Then…… I'll cancel what you just said was a vulgar look.]

[Rin, it's too late! If she's a real witch, I'll tell her about it later!]

[Huff! Oh, no!]

The rabbit that seized the opportunity interfered like a tentacle, and Bahamut was greatly embarrassed.

Anyway, all this is just a guess.

Eventually, I thought I'd have to get to the top floor where the spider queen was waiting to find out something.

After a while, the staircase seemed to continue indefinitely.

We have reached the last floor.

“Hmm. I think we're almost there.... Where's Queen Spider? ”

[Hey, you know we're in a real crisis, right? Why are you acting so calm?]

Shashazak!

Kiey, kiey!

Even though they are being chased by spiders from all over, they remain calm.

“I don't know what. A good man has to be more relaxed when he's busy. ”

["Lazy man in the world," the sloth said.]

“Oh, there he is! ”

I finally found a staircase at the end of the hall leading to the real top floor.

It was like an attic with a hole in the ceiling and a small staircase underneath.

[The entrance is too narrow for an ostrich golem?]

“Break the Stone! Break the Stone!”

Boom, boom!

[…… yes, I'll go in now.]

The downward slope rises to the top, drilling a wider hole next to the entrance.

* * *

“That's a real attic. ”

The attic was shabby.

But it was a pretty big place for Arachne to nest in.

Sitting crouched down in the middle of the room, Arachne greets uninvited guests who rudely barge through the floor.

[You came all the way here. I can't believe you just barged in here without knowing I was dead.]

“Oh, it's you again. It's nice to meet you, but let's just plug this hole for a second and talk. ”

Waar!

As Jungdown waves at the Arachnes, he pours dirt down the floor and plugs the hole.

Kiey...!

The sound of the monstrous spiders coming up the stairs grows further and further away.

“Phew, now I'm a little distracted. ”

[Yeah. Now we can fight one-on-one with peace of mind.]

There are three of you now.]

Arachne stares down at the rabbit, Bahamut, as if it were ridiculous.

But what do you think?

She smiles and says.

Since the guest came, he had to do what he was given.

[Anyway, I worked hard to get up here. Now if you pass the last test, the treasure is yours.]

The black energy echoes through her body.

A magic circle has begun to form.

“Wait, wait! ”

[……?]

As something was about to begin, Jungdown urgently restrained her from her actions.

Boom.

[What?]

“Can I hold our hands for a while before that? ”

[……?]

What? I'm sorry.

Suddenly, Jungdown reaches out his hand and comes forward.

Arachne's instinct is to take a step back and frown.

[What are you up to all of a sudden? Don't come any closer.]

“I just want to make sure. Let me hold your hand. My feet are fine, but my feet are kind of gross. ”

In the other hand, the Witch's Journal is located.

I wanted to read the story of the spider queen first before saying it was the last test.

‘Once I know what's going on, I'm going to kidnap you or whatever. ’

But unlike what he thought, Arachne's reaction was sharp.

[Don't come any closer.]

“It'll only take a second! Trust me!"

[Hmph, I have someone I can trust! With the grimoire in his hands, who would be deceived?]

Cock-a-doodle-doo! Pavat!

A knight in an ostrich golem in a narrow attic, followed by a fierce scepter of the princess trapped in a tower.

“A grimoire? No, it's a grimoire, but it's an empty grimoire! ”

[Bullshit!]

“Oh, how frustrating! Here, look! Nothing... ”

[gasps]?]

As he widens his diary, Arachne, who is terrified, curls up.

At that moment, cobwebs were spread all over the place.

Aaaaah!

Horse webs. Hardness and viscosity were unimaginable.

Many of the participants were captured alive because of this spider web.

As it becomes difficult to get close to the cobwebs, you pull out a iron rod, kicking out your tongue.

“That's so gross. It doesn't wear off just by touching my hand. Spin!”

The downward grip of iron spins around, twisting the cobwebs and kicking them out.

[Wonderful talent. But that's it!]

Aaaaah!

This time, more cobwebs flew towards the bottom.

And to reduce maneuverability, he twists the legs of the ostrich golem he's riding.

By the way.

Slow down.

Hmm?

“Huh?"

“Cow?”

Spider webs do not cling to the ostrich golem, but flow down powerlessly.

Suddenly, the viscosity of the spider silk did not work on the earth golem.

I realized the truth.

“Aha. Is it similar to rubbing with dirt when it gets sticky? ”

[Oh, what an eccentric imagination. We just need to be careful.]

There was another subtle imagination.

Bahamut!

A snowman roams freely through an attic full of cobwebs.

[Kuhaha! It's pathetic! Cobwebs for the snowman!]

Bahamut stepped forward and removed all the cobwebs from his body, keeping the cobwebs away from him.

What, these guys? ’

Arachne's expression is embarrassing and she has no choice but to stay back.

A nasty, right angle-down.) My hands were closing in.

However, thanks to the spider silk sprinkle, I was able to spare a moment.

Black energy spills from Arachne's body again.

Finally, the final test was triggered.

[You cannot defy your destiny! You must pass the test to get your treasure.]

Whoa!

At that moment, the Black Energy erupted from her body, explosively spreading everywhere.

It's like watering white paper with black ink.

“What is it?”

Jungdown stops walking with a curious look.

The visible ceilings, walls, and everything in the attic were flooding into darkness.

The darkness that began so gradually spread beyond the attic to the entire tower, and ever since then, it has continued to expand.

* * *

“Well, what is it? ”

Participants and hunters who were in battle in front of the Central Tower raised their heads in panic.

The entire maze was covered with a thick darkness.

“It's not like fog.... ”

“Does the solar eclipse begin? ”

“What's going on right now? ”

And then the next moment.

The darkness rises like a lie.

As if someone had opened the curtain wide in the sleeping room, suddenly the surroundings became bright and noisy.

And the yummy smells that come with a hook.

“Huh?"

“ ……! ”

Participants doubted the eyes.

They were just standing in the middle of a bustling city.

“Welcome! ”

“Cheap! Cheap! ”

“The fish that came in today is so fresh! ”

Market people screaming everywhere.

The labyrinth that was blocking everything was transformed into an exotic building.

“What, what, what is this? ”

Participants were haunted by ghosts.

“Why are we here? ”

“Is this fantasy magic? ”

“Look at this! Apologize!"

“What?"

The word "apple" changed my eyes.

One of the participants picked up an apple for sale in the market and yelled.

“I don't think this is a fantasy! It's a real apple! I can feel it! ”

“Really? Another apple today. It's so fresh. ”

The old man selling fruit spoke to him with a loving smile.

“Huh? He's talking to me. Hahaha!”

The participant who held the apple in his hand touched the apple in wonder rather than answering the old man's words.

And, Wazak!

The moment I sliced open the apple, sweet juice spread in my mouth.

“Huh? This is delicious! ”

“Huh! What if you don't pay for it? Do you have money?"

“Hahaha! This is a real apple! ”

He was so excited that he ate the apple without caring what the old man said.

The other participants were surprised to see that.

“You can really eat? ”

“It's not a fantasy, is it? ”

“Then where am I? ”

“Does it matter now? Let's get something to eat! ”

“Wow! This is bread! ”

Participants who wandered through the maze for more than a week suddenly turned their eyes upside down as tasty food appeared in front of their eyes.

They started arguing and grabbing the market food by hand.

The merchants who were selling food were embarrassed by their actions and tried to stop them.

“Pay first... ”

“Oh, let go of me! ”

Shhh!

“Ouch!”

The skill weaponized merchants who were unable to overcome the power of the participants, and were thrown back and away, eventually became furious.

“What a robber! ”

“What are you beggars doing with no money? ”

“Guards! Do something about these people!" ”

Rrrrrrrr!

“What a mess! ”

“… huh? ”

It was a very secure city.

After being surrounded by dozens of guards, participants quickly regained their senses.

But when the guards looked exotic, they laughed.

Light armor and only one spear.

“What, this again? With just one fucking spear... ”

Phew!

“… huh? ”

Suddenly, they don't understand, looking at the spear stuck in their belly.

It was so fast that you couldn't see it.

“The criminal is imminent! ”

“Immediately!”

Dozens of guards move as if they were one body, piercing their spears at the participants.

“Aaaaah! Why are they so strong!? ”

Participants react in a panic.

But...

Empire Spearing was strong.

“Isn't that Imperial Spearman? ”

[I see.]

Above their heads, through the windows at the top of the tower, the jungle and rabbit stare down.

[What's going on? Suddenly, the maze turned into a thriving city.]

“This is the village I saw in my dreams. The food in the marketplace is the same. And……. ”

Sweet.

Jungdown lowered the blindfold of the golden helmet and looked down again through his smartphone.

“Grrrgh!”

“ ……. ”

The world I saw through a camera lens was completely different from what I saw with my own eyes.

There was no city.

No markets, no buildings.

All you can see is the maze blocked by high walls and the ground with nothing.

But there was a man.

The villagers are screaming and the guards are trained to swing their spears with brute force.

And the participants were battling on a vacant lot with nothing.

“…… Giant's dream has come true. ”

It suddenly reminds me of the difference between a shadow cat and a shadow servant.

Cats are fictitious and cannot be caught by the camera, while Shadow servants are real and captured by the camera.

The last time he went into a dream, this time it came this way.

The chindown slowly turns its head back.

There, the little girl smiles brightly and waves to herself.

“Hello? We meet again? ”

The girl said.
