156Th Episode. Intersections (5)
This is a completely unexpected situation.
I knew that it was possible to cast a spell on a dungeon.
But I never thought that there would be someone else besides me who would do such a crazy thing.
Well, the math doesn’t add up at all.
At that time, the little princess used all of her magic to cast a weak weakening curse on a single dungeon.
The effect was so weak that it was hard to even notice, so I thought it was completely useless.
‘That’s right. The main heroines had an infinite amount of energy in their bodies······.’
What I didn’t expect was this.
The main heroines don’t care about efficiency at all.
They are superhumans who can pour out as much magic power as an average magician would use in their entire lifetime.
And this spell is still seeking efficiency in the midst of all this.
It doesn’t react at all when others enter, but it activates like a ghost when I step in.
If it’s a spell that only applies to me, the amount of magic power consumed will be greatly reduced.
It’s a clever idea.

‘But why?’
However, the problem is that I can’t figure out the intention at all.
Yerina······ Hmm.
If she hasn’t mastered the Light of Madness yet, I can understand why she would do this, so let’s skip her.
In the case of Julia and Jill, I believed that they would definitely not take such extreme measures.
Well, I saw with my own two eyes that they had changed their ways.
Why would those two suddenly try to hold me back?
‘Is it because of the competition······?’
Could it be that the three of them have realized something?
That they all have memories of the past.
And that they all had a romantic relationship with me.
My whole body is getting goosebumps.
If that’s true.
And if the three of them are competing to find me first and hold me back······?
There is no answer.
The Three Kingdoms will just unfold on this land.
The invasion of Petersburg by the Papacy that happened in the previous episode might come again.
The game, no, the difficulty of life will unfold.
‘Blocking the dungeon means cutting off my source of income.’
A sense of crisis washes over me.
I thought the time attack would start with the Four Heavenly Kings.
I never thought that it would start with the pursuit of the heroines in this episode.
Should I run away?
If I run away, where should I go?
Should I take refuge in the sea fortress in the vast ocean, as I originally planned?
I won’t be able to stay there forever, and I’ll have to come back eventually.
I can clearly see the future where I will be dragged away by people in black suits as soon as I disembark.
If those three really go all out, there will be no place in this world where I can show my face.
‘This is a big problem······.’
I can’t see the way out.
The only way out is to catch Draken and see the ending.
Now that I can’t defeat the dungeon, defeating Draken is just a distant dream.
As long as Draken is supplied with energy from the dungeon, he will recover infinitely.
Besides, I don’t have enough power to face Draken yet.
This is a situation with no answers!
There are only three choices left.
First. Get caught by Jill.
Second. Get caught by Julia.
Third. Get caught by Yerina.
The only other option besides ‘getting caught’ is ‘getting caught after a bad chase’.
It doesn’t exist at all.
Out of these, the only one that is somewhat better is ‘getting caught by Yerina’, which is ridiculous.
With Yerina, I can rest assured that the 攻略率 will never reach 100%.
The problem is that I don’t know what the Yerina from the 12th episode, who has noticed all of my affairs, will do to me.
But surely she won’t kill me?
I’ll just be kidnapped and imprisoned for the rest of my life.
“If you don’t like that······ then there’s only a head-on confrontation······.”
And finally, the hidden choice.
A head-on confrontation.
Confess to all three of them and avoid the worst possible outcome, such as kidnapping and imprisonment.
If I’m unlucky, the 攻略率 will go up and I’ll end up with the ending.
If I’m lucky, the 攻略率 will actually go down.
It’s a high-risk, low-return gamble.
But when you’re surrounded by cliffs, you have to grab even a rotten lifeline.
“Okay. Let’s go. Let’s get hit.”
The moment I stood up with that determination.
I felt a small force pulling on my sleeve.
I looked back and saw that Myeong-i was whining and pulling at the hem of my clothes with her small mouth.
“What’s wrong?””Ooh······!”
“······?”
Then, Mumin pointed at my bag with his leg.
I wondered what he meant.
It seemed like he wanted to talk about Kali’s soul-eating.
“This is useless. Kali’s soul-eating can only devour magic, but it can’t stop the effects of the curse. The main body of the curse is somewhere else, so you can’t stop it with this.”
“Ooh-ooh-ooh!”
“That’s not what I’m talking about? Then what is it?”
Mumin shook his head as if he was frustrated.
Then, he bit my sleeve again and led me somewhere.
“······Follow me, for a long time.”
“How do you understand?”
“······I don’t know. Just.”
“······.”
I thought there was something going on between the monsters, but it didn’t seem like that.
But this guy, Mumin, is stubborn without answering.
Until now, he has been following me silently wherever I go, sticking to my collar without any complaints, but he has never expressed his opinion like this before.
Is there any certainty?
“Ooh!”
“I told you it’s useless. It’s a curse imposed on all dungeons. Perhaps it interferes with the other world connected through the dungeon core······. Huh?”
At that moment, I thought of the other world.
I found something strange.
It’s weird.
It’s very strange.
The same curse effect is appearing in all dungeons.
Surely those guys wouldn’t have cursed every dungeon in Gallia one by one.
It is clear that they succeeded in interfering with the other world through the dungeon core.
However, it should not have been possible originally.
Because Draken’s power would block the intrusion.
Then, how did they connect to the other world······. Ah.
“Has Draken’s power been withdrawn?”
My head cleared up.
The catastrophe that happened a few days ago.
I think I know the identity of the changes that appeared to all the monsters in the world and to Linda.
It was nothing else, Draken had withdrawn his power.
That’s why the monsters’ power, which had been slightly strengthened, returned to its original state and seemed to have weakened.
The security of the dungeon core network has been weakened, so it is now possible to connect in reverse.
“Let’s go. I have something to try.”
If so, this is an opportunity.
An opportunity for me to connect to the other world in reverse and glimpse Draken’s strategy.
If I’m lucky, I might be able to figure out the weakness.
I hurried back to the dungeon and headed for the dungeon core.
[The monsters in the dungeon are strengthened by the blessing of the Saintess Jill.]
[The monsters in the dungeon have a weak toxicity due to the curse of the witch Julia.]
[The dungeon is cold due to the resentment of the Frost Lord Yerina.]
In an instant, the dungeon became a snowy country.
I could feel that all the monsters had become as strong as ogres.
Since it was a red star dungeon and there was no separate boss, I was able to reach the core relatively quickly.
“Let’s see······.”
First, I put my hand on the dungeon core and felt the flow of magic and magic inside.
With my eyes closed.
I focus on the flow of information.
‘I don’t know anything······.’
However, even if there is nothing blocking it, I cannot find a way to connect to the other world.
I don’t know at all.
I thought I could use the dungeon core like a crystal ball to see the situation in the other world.
But no matter how much I look at the pattern, it seems random, so I can’t figure it out at all.
In the meantime, the cold air created by Yerina is piercing my bones in real time.
I can feel my lips cracking and my corneas drying out.
I’ll die if I don’t get out of here soon.
Such a sense of crisis rings an alarm in my mind.
But just a little more.
Just as I was about to continue this hopeless investigation,
A small hand was placed on the back of my hand.
“Here.”
“······?”
It’s Mumin.
Mumin, who had suddenly transformed into a human form, took my hand and led me.
While I was bewildered.
Mumin adjusted my posture and whispered in my ear.
“I’ll show you.”
Whoa······!
As the flow of magic and magic coincided, my vision suddenly changed drastically.
The meaningless flow of signals instantly transformed into the form of electrical signals and hit my brain directly.
Signals that are neither visual nor auditory.
To put it bluntly, it’s like a combination of all those things.
Countless sensations that cannot be described in one word are intertwined and come in at once, but my brain simply accepts it in an orderly manner.Perhaps I couldn’t see the vision, and Myeong-i transformed it to fit the human body and showed it to me.
“Ah······.”
And my body trembled at the sight that Myeong-i showed me.
How should I express this?
It felt like a cosmic landscape that human eyes couldn’t accept, but was forcibly downgraded and crammed in.
But even with that, there was a lot of information I could get.
Right now, the other world has completely stopped the energy supply from the dungeon.
Draken has made all the monsters and dungeons that were in charge of energy outsourcing unemployed by dividing his authority.
So what is he doing with the recovered authority now?
The answer is simple.
Instead of leaving the other world, Draken is descending into our world.
He is trying to pull our world into the other world.
He is trying to make the two worlds collide and become one with a strong force.
Even the speed is not that slow.
Since it is a dimensional movement, we don’t feel it at all.
But in 10 years at the latest, the two worlds will become one.
“Ah······!”
The world destruction that was 1000 years later.
It has been brought forward to 10 years later.
