– Overcome the ordeal and claim my legacy hidden in this dungeon.
– If you avoid the guardians and destroy the mana stones on each edge, the movement will gradually slow down, and if you destroy all of them, it will stop.
I looked around the space.
As they said, magic stones were embedded in each wall at the edge of the space. Destroying all those magic stones seems to be the condition for clearing the dungeon.
kuung.
Soon the guardians started moving and approaching us.
I told Ashel.
“Achelle.”
“Yes.”
“Put it away.”
Aww!
All of the guardians were wiped out by Ashhel’s blow.
extrasensory (5)
It wasn’t a high-level dungeon as I thought it would.
After all the guardians were dealt with and moved on, a trap appeared this time.
Magic circles were engraved on the walls of the long, straight passage.
– I salute you who passed the first ordeal.
– Through the magic arrows raining from all directions, proceed to the other passage…
Aww!
The magic circles on the wall were all destroyed by the sword that Ashel swung in two.
After that, something continued to come out, but it was still a high pass.
I prepared a lot of this and that while saying the ordeal of the text written on the wall.
The producers probably didn’t expect them to move forward like this, but somehow I feel a little sorry for them.
‘By the way, it’s still working fine.’
Most of the dungeons were created in ancient times.
Therefore, there were many cases where the guardians and traps prepared by the creators were too old to work. Just like the dungeon where the last floating curtain was hidden.
However, the creators of this dungeon don’t seem to be very good wizards, but the devices were still working properly without being broken.
Maybe it was made relatively late in ancient times, or maybe it wasn’t an ancient dungeon at all.
Then came a huge stone door that seemed to advertise that this was the final stage.
‘Is it the end?’
As I came this far, I didn’t find anything like a hidden space.
So the mystery I’m looking for must be in there.
I wondered if this was the end of the ordeal that wasn’t an ordeal, but a letter shone on the floor right in front of the door.
– The final ordeal is the one that tests your luck.
– Force, Wisdom, Companion, Trust, and Powerful Equipment. Even if you have all of those things, in the end, the most important thing is luck.
– Pick up the marble placed right in front of the door and insert it into one of the two blemishes on the door.
– If you choose the correct answer, the door will open; if you choose the wrong answer, the door will not open forever. You only have one chance.
Ashel couldn’t read the ancient language, so she couldn’t understand the meaning and just stared blankly.
After reading all the explanations, I moved on.
I picked up the marble that was on the pedestal in front of the door and walked closer to the door.
shudder.
Without much thought, I put the marble into the hole on the left, and there was no response from the door.
Again the letters shone on the floor.
– Wrong answer, adventurer.
– Unfortunately, you do not deserve my inheritance. Let go of regret and go back.
I scratched my cheek and said to Ashel.
“Achelle, break it.”
Aww!
A huge stone gate burst into pieces.
It looked like it was strengthened with magic, but it meant nothing in front of Ashhel’s force.
The end of the dungeon we arrived at after fighting with all our might until the last gate.
I stood in front of the broken door, peered inside, and said to Ashel.
“Wait here.”
“Yes.”
He left her and went inside.
After passing through the narrow passage, what appeared immediately was a space like a laboratory.
In the middle of it was placed a luxurious wooden box like a treasure chest.
When I opened it, there was an old book and a letter inside.
“············”.
Judging from the title of the book, it seemed that the dungeon creator was a magic book that organized his magic, and the letter was also a letter from the creator.
Looking at the contents, congratulations on coming this far, and because his magic is one-man, he can only pass it on to one person.
I smiled and folded the letter.
If you look at the devices in the dungeon, you can see the magic skill of the creator, but in the letter, it was written as if it had left a great magic book of any century.
‘This is probably good.’
Read from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
I looked around.
There is no further passage, so this is the only place where there is mystery.
However, the mysterious pattern was nowhere to be seen in the immediate sight.
I wonder if this suffering is in vain again?
Feeling a little impatient, I looked around a little more thoroughly.
“······ah.”
And when I moved the bookshelf in the corner and looked at the wall behind me, I was able to smile.
A mysterious pattern engraved on the wall.
It was exquisitely hidden because it was just the size of a bookshelf, shining softly with blue light.
Without hesitation, I reached out towards the pattern.
Whoa!
As always, the pattern shone brightly and was absorbed into my body.
I stood there blankly for a moment, then slowly looked around me again.
‘······What is this, this.’
it feels
As I absorbed the mystery, I began to feel it clearly.
Sound, smell, and all the stimuli that flow around you.
The presence of Ashel standing outside the room was clearly recognized as if visible.
As I focused more, my senses became sharper, and I could even feel the presence of insects crawling on the floor.
It’s like crossing the threshold of a whole new world.
‘Is this?’
Was this the sense that superhumans in this fantasy world usually feel?
And it wasn’t just a feeling.
My reflexes also felt vastly improved.
I picked up a stone from the floor and threw it.
The stone flying in the opposite direction while drawing a parabola seemed slow, like a slug crawling.
In addition to that, the visibility was strengthened, so even as it flew, every angled part of the stone could be seen clearly.
‘Damn it, really.’
This is a skill that really shouldn’t be missed.
After being properly attacked by an ancient wizard earlier, I realized once more for sure.
Even if you have a defensive ability, if you can’t react to an attack, it’s useless.
However, this level of cognitive ability would be able to respond to the speed of any superhuman now.
‘I’ll have to adapt quickly.’
I clenched my fists and blew, calming the sharpened sensation again.
I just got it, so I’m not used to it yet, but it doesn’t seem like it won’t take long to get used to it.
Come to think of it, this mystery has no name.
I didn’t know rather than not. Because in the game, Taylor never gave a specific name and said it.
After thinking for a while, I immediately came up with a suitable name.
There is also the mystery of super rebirth, so this is roughly the same feeling.
‘Super sense.’
With this, I have already obtained three mysteries, even the extrasensory.
***
We immediately exited the dungeon.
There was no need for a magic book that was the legacy of the creator, but there was no reason to leave it behind, so I brought it out.
It was something else I didn’t know. I’m not going to learn magic, but maybe it’ll be helpful for the talent I’ll hire in the future.
After coming out of the dungeon, I started talking to Ashel from what I was thinking.
“Achelle.”
“Yes.”
“Once you unleash your power, try swinging your sword.”
“······Yes?”
She flinched and looked back at me.
I shook my head as if I had misunderstood something.
“It’s not about attacking me, it’s about doing it in empty space.”
“ah······.”
The reason I made such a request out of the blue was because there was something I wanted to check.
Ashel looked puzzled, but without asking the reason, she gently drew her sword.
I said to her who was about to swing the sword as it was.
“With all your power. Using even your qualities.”
Achel, a member of the White Moon tribe, has a racial trait that enhances magical power.
I really wanted to see her in full power who activated even that trait.
As if a little embarrassed by my request, Ashel hesitated, then nodded and showed off her flair.
saa.
Ashel’s body shone softly, and soon the skin all over her body was dyed pure white.
It was the first time I had ever seen her use her talents here. So far, I haven’t had a chance to use it.
After taking a breath, she began to swing her sword.
Shoo!
A pounding sound, which is unbelievable for simply swinging a sword, was drawn in the air.
I raised my super sense to the maximum and stared at her sword dance.
‘······see.’
Even if that sword strike was directed at me, I could see her movement enough to react.
His super sense was so good that he was able to catch even the movements of level 81 with full force. Even I could still afford it.
‘I think that’s enough to be able to respond to level 80’s to some extent.’
But what if you are stronger than that?
I thought of the movement of the powers I saw on the convoy or the blow of the frenzy I encountered in the hallway during the monarch’s meeting. The attack of the ancient wizard who had completely destroyed my side before.
I couldn’t even see the attacks before I got the extra sense, so I can’t figure it out if I think about it… Unless you check again yourself.
Anyway, I opened my mouth after confirming the satisfactory result to some extent.
“stop.”
Ashel, who had stopped cutting, stopped and took a light breath.
He didn’t wield it much, but it seemed like he was using his full power.
But for some reason she stared at me as if expecting something.
“············”.
Why are you looking at me like that?
I shook my head and realized why.
‘······· Do you know that I just ordered something to evaluate my skills?’
Looking at those curiously looking eyes, it seemed that was right.
I was silent for a moment, then said.
“There is definitely potential. Keep trying.”
“······All right.”
She nodded her head with a slightly sad expression.
I’m sorry to make you look forward to it, but what advice can I give you with my skills?
It was dark at night, but we went straight out of the forest without resting.
I was exhausted in many ways, but I was able to endure it because of the super rebirth. Sleep. After returning to the carriage, I was ready to sleep.
It was only when the sun rose in the middle of the sky that I arrived at the carriage, and I could see Baros eating alone.
“Are you here?”
Wherever he was hunting, he was eating a well-groomed rabbit.
I’m glad that you seem to have been eating well while we were away.
After leaving, I and Ashel left the place and ate together and went back to the city.
***
Returning to the city, I stopped by the Adventurers’ Guild again to learn more about Railo.
I could hear from another adventurer that she had returned to the city. And he hurriedly left for another city.
‘It was because I was really scared.’
The situation was a bit funny, but anyway, I made sure there wasn’t anything wrong with her, so I turned my attention to her.
We stayed one more day and then left the city.
The next destination, as originally planned, is the newly retired First Monarchy. This time it was a bit far.
I was planning to go through the 4th, 3rd, and 2nd monarchs from the current location in a straight curve and take the shortest route.
