Dungeon Reset

* * *

‘I was a little surprised, to be honest. ’

Jungdown is amazed at the power of Solia's fury.

[Awesome. You blew up that big guy in one blow? You're a goddess!]

On the other hand, the rabbit was not very surprised.

Either he attacks with his long ears and flies an error.

Solia's magic was similar.

Feathers with errors.

A swift blow of feathers hits the Sweetfish.

It's probably because Sweetfish is less defensive than a big one, but I can't believe it just exploded like that...

The result was that.

Aaaaah!

Like a giant water balloon, a substantial amount of water poured down from the sky like a rainstorm.

Then the flames of the forest, which seemed to be burning forever, were caught at a rapid rate just below that.

[Glug. The fire went out eventually.]

Lugal swallows his brooding face.

As a helper here, he was already noticing signs of change.

Ear black smoke seeps out from the ground where the fire is extinguished.

It was something completely different from the smoke generated when the fire cooled down.

Moreover, the color of the ground was getting darker.

It was turning really black, not burning.

It was ominously dark black.

Khh! Khh!

Soon, the ground started to crumble and split.

Quadruck! Quadruck!

And the ominous creatures that were crouching and panting under Harun's fire began to climb to the ground.

The appearance of the shrewd beings was strange.

Golden Armor!

Fancy whole body armor decorated with all kinds of gold and silver was crawling up from the ground like a man.

However, there was no one inside the armor.

It was empty.

Instead, black smoke was moving around in armor like a man.

Flash!

You hear the ominous scream of the beast as the black glare explodes inside the golden helmet.

It was like the roar of anger and the groaning of pain.

Chuck, Chuck, Chuck!

As they stand up, they line up with swords and shields in gold gauntlets, replacing their hands.

Those weapons also glowed poisonously on the blackened ground.

They looked like trained knights on the battlefield.

Glug! The return of the dead has finally begun!]

Lugal sighs deeply.

[The evil knights sealed in Harun opened their eyes!] Harun's fire was the only shackle to suppress them...!]

Lugal looks at Solia with grumpy eyes, but she doesn't care at all.

Rather, he raised his wings as a threat.

[There's only one corner of this vast forest, isn't there? If I crawl out of there and I catch a few of them, that's it.]

[Solia, do you intend to use force again? Our helpers…….]

[Stop nagging. I know, but I didn't break any rules. This time it's out of specification.]

[…….]

Do not directly interfere with the existence of dungeons.

That was the rule given to the helper.

But Solia killed a Sweetfish, and there was no penalty.

It was because the existence of Eunryn itself was not a monster attributed to the dungeon.

Resetting was the only part that was flexible enough to hurt the presence outside the specification.

It meant that the demonic knights were the same.

‘Other than specifications! Those demons are also creatures that never disappear once the dungeon is reset. Hnng.’

Lugal urges participants entering the ruins with a look of trouble.

[Glug! You'd better hurry up. Demons are just the beginning. As the number of evil spirits increases, Harun's difficulty will increase.]

“ ……! ”

It was an unimaginable calculation.

Evil spirits creep up from the dead forest.

Even now, Harun's fire was getting cold because there was nothing left to burn.

The conclusion was that the entire forest could be surrounded by demons if Harun's fire had gone out.

At Rugal's words, participants entered the ruins more desperately than ever.

Even though Rugal didn't explain it, I already saw the black smoke from afar, and my back was cold and cold sweating.

It was because of the ghostly Qi from the Demon Knights.

“Solia.”

In this serious atmosphere, the gentleman seriously asked Solia something.

“And what about my gift? ”

[Oh, you were there.]

Solia looks down with a complex mind.

On my terms, instead of letting him know what a eunuch he swallowed himself.

Solia sighs badly and asks him again.

[Aren't you afraid that the evil knights will come here? No matter how violent they may be, if they have life, they will be affected by fraud.]

“So what is this evil knight? Is that different from being stupid? ”

[It's similar, but completely different. Ghosts are a remnant of a wandering soul lost in self-esteem. But evil spirits are vicious creatures who wreak havoc on people with vengeance.]

[Then melt it with purification skills! Hiya!]

Suddenly, the rabbit went out.

He stands on top of his head, his hands on his waist, pouting in a possum fashion.

[Even superior! Advanced Purification is a Ranged Skill, which means you can attack a whole host of evil spirits at once!]

“Why are you bragging about my skills? ”

[Ahem. Where's yours and mine?]

Rugal warns you with a bitter look, both of them not feeling nervous at all.

[Glug. Don't think so easily. Purification skills are never versatile. You'd better not be dealing with those evil spirits, but help us attack the Ruins.]

Participants were safer not to encounter demonic knights.

I'll be caught and killed the second I see you.

Then Solia calls down.

[No. Junglike, I want you to take a look at the outer wall before you enter the ruins.]

“The outer wall?”

[Yes, that's what I'm giving you.]

“ ……? ”

Solia turns her eyes back to where she's pointing.

I was distracted and didn't see it carefully, but the ruins underneath Seyren Lake reminded me of the pyramid.

Of course, it looked more complicated than a pyramid.

It was surrounded by all sorts of stone-sculptured buildings.

[This was originally built as an Emperor's tomb.]

“Ah! I told you it looked like a tomb, but it was a Yellow Hills. ”

Solia has a bitter look on her face.

[Yes, it almost became a Yellow Hills. However, the emperor of the empire, who should have been here, was blinded by his greed and used the forbidden secret.]

“The Secret of Withholding? ”

Somehow it was a familiar word.

[Come closer and see for yourself what it means.]

Following Solia's guidance, Jungdown approaches the slanted wall, not the entrance to the ruins.

The lake was well preserved, even if it was a building that had been underwater for a long time because the Seirens had eaten all the moss.

Suddenly, I remembered this.

“…… This? ”

[Who painted that on the wall so well?]

On the outer wall of the Yellow Hills, the murals are subtly painted. It was a very exquisitely shaded mural.

“Is this for real? ”

There was a sudden realization of the jungle.

Then, the sculptures surrounding the area seemed to express some ‘story’.

He used a skill.

“Shadow Secrets. ”

This was not intended to summon the Shadow Servant.

Paaaaaah!

Suddenly, his shadow grows longer and overlaps with that of the Yellow Hills.

Then the shadow stretched out like a spider web at a rapid rate along the mural's tone.

The entire mural that was engraved on the outer wall of the Yellow Hills was seeped with a sinewy shadow.

At that moment.

Paaaaaah!

A stool has occurred.

“ ……! ”

[First Achievement achieved!]

“It brings back memories of the shadows! ”

You have reminded me of the original purpose of Shadow Art!

The dungeon is impressed with your amazing achievements.

- Reward: Emperor Baboon's Nightmare

“…… change? ”

The moment the question of the familiar name comes to mind, the shadow rises like a wave and envelops his body.

Boom!

[Ahhh! Watch out...!]

In a flash, the rabbit's voice fades away.

But there were those who were chasing after him.

Myooon!

Shadow cats that were already living in the shadow rush after the owner.

* * *

I was drawn into the shadows, but I was not embarrassed.

I didn't think it was a trap.

This happened because of his skills anyway, and I've experienced similar situations a few times.

However, there was one part that I didn't understand.

Achievement rewards.

Emperor Ba Boon? ’

The name Vabun is not common.

There was only one ‘Baboon’ he knew.

Vabun was a stage -2 helper.

He drove the rabbit away and hijacked Stage One.

He got greedy there and died at his hands instead of crossing Stage -4.

"Yes, the name of the talking baboon was changed! ’

It was a straight down look that reminded me of that time.

Then why are you suddenly Emperor? I heard it was a tomb for the Emperor of the Empire. ’

At that moment, the dark vision became clear.

And the scene in front of him....

“Huh?"

Suddenly, he was standing in the middle of the forest.

It was suddenly sunny.

Warm sunshine and cool breeze.

The sound of a bird's rattling tickles my ears.

It was a sudden spring.

“Where am I? ”

[It's Harun.]

“Solia?”

I heard Sollia's voice somewhere, and I was startled and looked around.

However, I could only hear her voice, but I couldn't see her anywhere.

Instead, I noticed another enormous look in the view of the jungle.

A tree big enough to open its mouth.

It was growing in the middle of the forest.

“Is that the world's number? ”

[Yes, and this is the real world. Unlike the fake one you pulled from the roots...]

“Where are you talking about? ”

[Where would I be as a gardener? I'm talking through the number of worlds you're looking at. But this will soon be impossible.]

“Make it impossible?”

[The number of worlds will soon disappear.]

It was then.

Suddenly, the peaceful atmosphere surrounding the jungle began to become chaotic.

“Kill the witches! ”

“The Emperor commands us to kill everyone in these woods! They're all sinister creatures! Immediately join the visible tribe! ”

“Find the witches! ”

He frowned as he discovered the protagonists of the living, cruel voices.

Armed knights came into the forest with gorgeous golden armor.

I also knew that I had worn it several times, but such armor was more of a luxury item than a practical one.

And you're seriously trying to fight someone with that ridiculous look? I couldn't understand.

[Oh, and let me tell you something. You remember Arachne's tower on the ridge? It's a place where memories of the past are as real as they are here.]

Solia brings up an important message later.

[If you die here, you die.]

“Hey, you said it was a gift. Really?"

[…….]

Solia pauses for a moment to see if she's been stabbed.

[My gift is in the water of the world. You'll have to get there before those paladins do.]

Jungdown tilts his head.

“Before finding the world's number? Why are you looking for him if he looks like that? ”

[Those paladins can't see the world. So we have to hurry. They're gonna burn this place down eventually.]

“ ……! ”
