Something gripping the consciousness released a huge hand.

I slowly regain consciousness from a dark forgetfulness.

Narrow.

Cold.

It's hard.

‘Prison…? ’

Just like Norm said.

There are no restraining cuffs.

I tried to reach out my hands outside the dented fence.

But it doesn't move.

The movement of the arms and legs seemed to flow freely through the space.

I couldn't carry my strength because my hands and feet didn't have the weight.

I can't turn my head.

‘This……. ’

I've felt a similar feeling before

[You are being influenced by the settlement.]

< Almighty Reduction >

Motion Lockdown

The Decline of Will

Vision restraint

< deprivation of power >

Skill Seal

[It's in the caster's estate.]

[Expressed with 97.5% decrease in all stats.]

[All skills will be blocked from the source.]

[Sight…….]

It's the same as when the Necromancer Gizgerai was trapped in a dead body in the inventory.

Not skills.

I can't lift a finger.

‘Inventory.’

_O O O

n-Ir huh.

But the moment I opened my inventory to see if things were right,

[Interference offset]

[Offsetting at parent level.]

[Inventory (Lv.?) Utilize.]

[Increase Skill.]

[Rapidly recovers from suppression.] [95% reduction in stats… 93% …….]

Dallac.

I woke up slowly, feeling my strength return to my body.

It's engraved with a subtle, glowing number.

Your wrist is clean too.

‘... Are all the crunades gone? ’

I can't even see where Norm went.

I need a sitrep.

‘Status window.’

[HP: 50]

[Force: 60]

[Agility: 62]

[Wisdom: 4

[Remaining Points: 48]

[Tentacle Control Lv.3] Seal

[Time Acceleration Lv.1] Seal

[Shadow Blade Lv.1] Seal

[Shadow Armor Lv.1] Seal

[Adsorption Capture Lv.1] Seal

[Sword Lv.2] Seal

[Inventory Lv.?]

‘… the inventory is intact. ’

Everything in your inventory is fine.

‘Is this... offsetting the consequences? ’

It reminded me of Isaac's words, "My own space."

Just checking your inventory reduces your stats by 80%.

I recognize the wealthy subspace as quietly as my coat.

[Stat decrease 77% 72%]

Accelerate the settlement offset.

However, the inventory deforms and quickly crumbles like dust.

‘Do you lack proficiency... …. ’

It's an inventory where Isaac used to navigate freely and use absolute physical force to block even the movements of the gray knights.

For now, it's just a loop in the air.

A loop that has been cut in half.

Woof...

[62% reduction in stats… 57% …….]

[Skill Seal will partially break.]

Look around.

Cramp.

I hold the cage and shake it.

It was then.

gr r r ”

"“ I "I •

You hear a low laugh.

“Huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh Adaptive. I can't believe you just stood up and waved the cage so fast. ”

You turn your head toward the slow approaching voice.

A little light from across the street clears out the darkness.

There's another prison.

A guy with a long scorpion tail and a raised arm and leg is trapped.

His face was covered with a purple crust, and only a huge tooth protruded out.

“Wh-where am I? ”

“Huh-huh-huh-huh... How unfair of you to be dragged here without knowing where I am." ”

“Hehehe... The strong one who lightly lifted himself up as soon as I came to my sense.What a stupid question. This is the end of the imbalance. ”

I think he's crazy.

Let's not mix words as much as possible.

Heave-ho, heave-ho!

Stats remain at 50%.

But I don't think I'll ever be able to escape from prison because my powers are restored.

Glug!

You pull the bars like you're about to bend over, and push them aside, but the small cell moves quickly and fills a gap as if it were alive.

I tried pulling a knife out of my inventory, I tried to get my sword up, but that's it.

Skill was not recovered.

Heave-ho, heave-ho!

Glug-ug-ug!

I sat down with the cage for a long time.

Did he really get locked up like this? ’

I was embarrassed.

A clue to solve the Basego curse.

I tried to gather information from the marketplace that might help Gizgerai, but I never came here before and thought about it easily.

I thought we could get in and out.

He's making a fool of the horse system and is paying the price for it.

If only there wasn't an inventory.

How long was I supposed to lie on the bottom of a dark cell?

Malphas!

I called to my heart.

There was no answer.

“Malphas!”

I shouted aloud.

It didn't matter who was listening.

I have an imprint.

It was perfectly natural to ask the Demon King for help while you were in the Magic Cube.

However, a desperate cry spread out into the darkness like a bubble.

I couldn't hear the echo.

It was good.

“Horse_phas! ”

I shouted again loudly.

This time, a little bigger foam.

It was just scattered.

No response.

The feeling of being connected to him is completely gone.

What's going on? ’

Is this even the right place?

I felt like I was losing strength.

“Hehehe... hehehehe... ”

The light flickers across the room.

The caged crustaceans giggle like crazy, as if they were unbearably ridiculous.

“Huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-

Are you calling me? How much did I believe you were desperately calling me that just because I was a little trapped... Hehehehehe... ”

I don't want to fight.

I really don't want to deal with it.

But unfortunately, he was the only one I could ask.

“… who are you? ”

He lit up the light.

“E. B. Hey. You're asking me. As you can see... I'm an inmate just like you. ”

I looked closely through the bars.

I looked at him from every angle in the bright light and realized something.

"Double... No, a triple prison. ’

His cage was much tighter than mine and twisted together.

Seeing that, I felt strangely relieved, and I felt positive about him. When I'm unhappy, if I see someone who's more unhappy than me, I might like to help and identify with them.

I talked to him in a sluggish mood.

“You look tired. About this place

What do you know? Prison... looks like it. ”

It was dark enough to feel the weight, so I couldn't see far.

“This is a very scary prison for gathering threats from all over the barn. Huhuhuhuhu... What brings you here? ”

“I……. ”

I hesitated without answering straight away.

A little off guard, though.

I've never seen him before.

Do you mind if I tell them all about Gizgerai and the Demon Kings?

“I'm here with Norm. You put me in a prison like this... ”

It's overwhelming.

“Haven't you seen him? Where the hell did he go? ”

I slipped.

“The one who put you here? I don't know anything about that as an inmate. The guards just tossed him in here and left. ”

Is there any information we can find out?

I'm with Gizgerai.

You disobeyed the Demon Kings, and now you're in this prison.

I'm trapped.

If he's in the same position.

Especially if this is the place where all the threats come from all over the place, like he said.

There's got to be some information we can get out of this.

“… how long have you been here? And why did you get locked up? ”

So, it was my turn to ask the questions.

“Phew…. ”

The beast raises its tail and scratches its head.

Suddenly, his tone was low.

Totally changed.

“It's been a lot longer than you can imagine. ”

The voice continues.

“I... was a secretary. I've known too many of the Demon Kings' secrets. The more I knew, the more I wanted to know, the more I tried, and they got together and locked me in here. ”

Is it true?

Maybe it's a long time to do nothing for him.

But now I had to listen to any story.

The whole point of coming to the Magic System is to get information.

“Then you must know a lot. ”

“Phew... Ask me anything. I'll teach you kindly for a rookie. ”

“Do you know about the relationship between Lint and the Mage? Why are the Demon Kings so wary of Lint... And the curse the Demon Kings are about to reverse their imprint...! ”

“Huh-huh-huh……. ”

Laughter stops me.

More than half of the face is covered in crust except the mouth, but the opponent

I feel like I'm being watched.

“I know……. ”

66 | 99

“But first I want to hear about you.... Tell me more about your life... It doesn't matter in one piece……. I'll tell you a story for the price of the story.... Especially a good story about a person... ”

Dallac.

I clenched my fist.

You start living again, everything disappears.

Memories, even.

Can I tell you a story about the people I'm involved with here?

When I was quiet for a while, he wagged his tail a little.

“Phew... I'm hesitating.... Let me give you a taste.... Lint... has the ability to move dimensionally to access the Mahjong system... That's one of the reasons why the Demon Kings are so wary of Lint's call……. Another reason is……. ”

The Horsemen have stopped speaking.

This is the first I've heard of it.

But Gizgerai showed me.

As long as you have the power to freely enter the Magic System.

Of course it's a threat.

“Another reason... what? ”

“Tell me... if you tell me, I'll do it again."

I especially like beautiful memories.... Tell me about a time you enjoyed yourself.... ”

It didn't seem like he was lying.

There was no reason not to say so, as long as the fragments of memories were joyful.

“… if you want. ”

I told him only what I had enjoyed in pieces with Rubia and Lena.

Even the enjoyable memories with the Circus did not mix up the time zone, so I only told the moment in detail as I felt the subject.

Just thinking about them made something pop.

Even though he told me everything that came out of his head, he told me a story.

It seemed to be quite immersed and I was listening.

The light on your tail flickers.

“Good... I'm talking well...

It's been a long time since I heard such a warm story.... It's so vivid... I'll reward you... Vividly... I have another gift for you... ”

The eye area is covered with a thick crust.

“S-water? ”

As a means of expressing emotion, the light on the tail continues to shine strongly.

It was a horse.

“Th-this is the exit... Our long-appointed escape is about to begin... We've all prepared..." I'll open your cage with you... A special favor from me because I like your honest story.... ”

I have no intention of surviving the throne.

But in addition to getting the information, there was no reason not to want me to break you out of here.

Rather, you're incredibly lucky.

“Thank you.”

Even the slightest bit of guilt about sharing the story with Rubia and Lena is fading.

It was then.

Kugung.

Another one appeared in his left cell. The light of the crustaceans shifts to the outline, but it appears to be a giant bear.

I didn't have a clue when it happened.

Even if it's within the boundary,

I thought it was him.

The bear spoke in a loud voice.

“Time to change floors. You'll see us in a long time. At that time, we'll be ready to escape, so just stay put. ”

That can't be bad.

I don't know anything about this place.

If it works out, just follow it.

Even if they fail, they will lose anyway.

“Then I can tell you more about Lint...! ”

It was then.

Kuku Gugu Bow...

The prison slowly rises above you with a massive vibration that resonates from deep underground.

‘Oh my……. ’

Kugu!

Curr... Curr...

Kung fu!

The prison that went up has stopped.

The stone dust slowly sinks under the wall's delicate torch.

Are you alone again?

‘You haven't heard the story. ’

There seems to be a machine that periodically changes the prison position.

After a while I was completely isolated from dust and noise.

“Anybody? ”

I tried to speak out on purpose, but there was no answer.

Even if I reach out from the bars,

Glug!

It spreads fast.

We'll wait.

The other inmates will take care of it.

I was relieved to think about it.

I don't have to try.

We can watch the trend.

For Lint's Call and the Demon King's Curse

Stories. After the floors change.

You can ask.

If we make it out of here, even then,

There will be opportunities.

I thought of something to do when I sat down.

‘Let's read a book. ’

In the meantime, I've been so distracted that I couldn't care less, and I'm sure I should read all of Ashton's books full of inventory.

I could only read eight books on the boat.

Woof...

I pulled a book out of my inventory.

A prison in the Magic System.

‘Someone might be watching……. ’

I didn't know what was going to happen here, so I was just going to carefully pull out one copy and read it.

The title of the book you took out of your inventory was [Owls and Priests].

Bloop.

I passed the first chapter.

< Owls who fall asleep during the day definitely need their own cave. Slowly swallow whole food while avoiding natural enemies

We desperately need space to digest, which is exactly what the priests say…….

< Priests need a clay pot to breathe deeply from the evil enemy. Or a wooden hole. Crouching, hiding in a dark, narrow hole, licking the wall, you should inject life into yourself because life is supposed to taste like dirt and wood... ….

< The hole should be deep and dark, narrow enough that no one can approach. If a piece of sugar falls into it....

I read the last chapter and closed the book.
