Do-jin’s telekinesis was neutralized in an instant, and the corpse that had been blown down the stairs stopped in the air and turned its head to stare this way.
Even the weakest demon in the ＜Magic Workshop Encroached by Evil＞ passed level 35, but Dojin’s magic, which was less than level 20, could not pierce their magic resistance.
-Kihihik!
However, Dojin was not the only one here.
There was a 4-star wizard Sisala who was well over 50 levels.
In an instant, fire-carved arrows rushed toward the child’s corpse as if it were being held in mid-air.
puck.
Accompanied by a dry bursting sound, the flaming arrow that pierced the withered corpse instantly burned with tremendous heat.
Sisala did not stop there, but continued to fire flaming arrows.
-Kihahahahahak!
A scream or laughter passed by, and the evil spirit, like a black stain, was extinguished in the red flame.
Dojin swept the skin of his face heated with heat and scanned the front.
“It seems that the firepower is excessive compared to the enemy… If you go this way, your mana will run out first.”
Even though it was a 1-star magic, six shots per evil spirit were too much.
Sisala, perhaps aware of that, replied with a slightly rough breath.
“I’m sorry. I was startled by the sudden appearance of a dead body. I will take care of myself in the future.”
There is a 4-star wizard, so the firepower overflows.
The key was to use the firepower efficiently.
A wizard is a sad existence that becomes a can that can’t do anything when it runs out of mana.
“Still, I’m glad I brought enough holy water. The problem is that I can’t just write it. I guess I need to share roles. I will use mana to weaken the enemy as much as possible.”
“yes. Leave the attack to me.”
Dojin and Sisala slowly resumed their entry.
There were several more corpses on the stairs, but like the first time, the evil spirits hiding in the corpses disappeared without even getting out.
“The structure is more complicated than I thought.”
After descending the stairs and looking at the complicated hallway, Sisala said in a tense voice.
It seemed that he was overwhelmed by the numerous doors that opened on both sides of the hallway and the gloomy atmosphere that emanated from them.
“Are you going to enter like this?”
Do-jin shook his head at the questioning sisala.
“Going right in seems too risky. Perhaps the whole workshop is filled with evil spirits, but if you go inside like this, you will have to fight with enemies everywhere.”
Having said that, Dojin gestured towards the stairs they came down.
“Since we secured the safety of the stairs as we came down, I think it would be a good idea to clean up the demons first here.”
Then, if you enter in a way that slowly increases the safe area- Do-jin, who continued to talk behind his back, shut his mouth at the gaze staring at him with admiration.
“… Why are you looking at me like that?”
“No, just. This situation seems very familiar. I… It’s a pity that Do-jin’s composure is contagious, because if I was alone, I think I would have wanted to run away already.”
“Because I read the journal with the workshop structure written in advance. Since it was neglected while conducting research on demons, I guessed that there must have been some side effects.”
“I didn’t say that… … .”
With Sisala’s murmur, Do-jin brought the holy water to the middle of the hallway with telekinesis.
Even though it was contained in a bottle, it could be seen that the object with strong holy attributes was dispersing along the direction of movement.
It is holy water that should be used sparingly as much as possible, but it was a ‘time to use’ when hunting sheep.
“I’ll bring out as many hidden demons as possible, so let’s blow a big one and sweep it away.”
“Well… Is it enough for 「Fire Wave」? It’s the strongest magic I can use, though.”
The 4-star magic [Flame Wave] was a magic that slowly swept a wide area with intense flames.
“It’s just right.”
As soon as the words ran out, Sisala prepared a spell.
Her magic circuit accepted the mana, developed and combined the spell, and eventually the magic was loaded.
In her eyes telling her to just talk at any time, Dojin also took action.
What Dojin chose was attribute magic [Light], which is incompatible with darkness and evil spirits.
“light”
With a short chant, a light source appeared in the middle of the hallway and a flash of light exploded.
A 1-star magician’s [Light] had no attack power, but if the opponent was an evil spirit, it could stimulate more than a tolerable provocation skill, and also weaken it, albeit only for a very short time.
– Kyaagh!
I knew it.
The demons, holding their breath to tear to shreds as soon as the impudent trespasser ventured deep into their territory, went mad.
“It must have been that cockroaches were hiding.”
As soon as they heard the lowly words, evil spirits jumped out, showing exalted malice.
In the first room, in the second room, far away in the seventh room.
The appearance of the evil spirits pushed out of the holes in the long hallway was no different from cockroaches jumping out of hiding.
Black waves come rushing in like sewage flowing backwards.
It was a wave with such violent power that if it was swept away, low-level wizards would be erased without a trace.
However, Do-jin stared at them and waited without stepping back.
Rеаd at ոоbӏеmtӏ.соm
May the black waves come to their proper place.
Zeng.
Then, aiming for the most perfect moment, he exploded the bottle containing the holy water that had been placed in advance with a psychokinetic shockwave.
The holy water contained in the bottle that was broken as if bursting with a strong impact spread over a wide range in a hazy color.
Those who had already been exposed to bright light almost went into a seizure when they entered the area where the liquid containing holy energy spread like droplets.
《Fire Wave》
Seeing that, Sisala activated the magic she had loaded into the magic circuit even though there was no signal.
A wave of unrestrained fire is created in front of Dojin, and sweeps through the corridor in front.
The evil spirits, which would not have been able to withstand the original, disappeared as if they evaporated as soon as they touched the fire because they were weakened by the light and the holy water.
Do-jin called for Sisala, who was staring blankly at it.
“There is no time for that. We need to move forward while quickly organizing it.”
As soon as he spoke, Do-jin approached the first room and nodded and used magic.
flash
This time, a flash of light burst from the middle of the room, and the demons that had been hiding in the shadows in the far corner jumped out.
Shisala was startled and intercepted them with the fastest magic.
“Well, what should I do if I don’t say anything like that!”
“Did you run out of mana?”
“No, it’s not-“
“That’s it.”
Without any time to refute, Do-jin flashed a flash in the opposite room.
This time, Sisala had to use gasping magic to deal with the popping demons.
Do-jin eradicated evil spirits as if he had lost enemies.
[The level has risen.]
[The level has risen.]
… … .
Since he was slaughtering monsters in the mid-30s level alone, his experience accumulated horribly, and the accumulated experience was replaced with a level-up message.
In an instant, Dojin’s level broke through 24.
Originally, this kind of light level would have been impossible because experience penalty would occur if there was a large difference in level from party members.
However, since the first discoverer of the dungeon was exempted from all penalties related to rewards within the dungeon, Do-jin was able to acquire the experience relatively completely.
Do-jin invested all the bonus points he earned in intelligence.
‘found.’
Then, at the point where the corridor splits into several branches, Do-jin found a large magic circle.
“I-that… … !”
Sisala, who looked around the room one tempo later, saw the magic circle and her face turned white.
It was because a person’s legs were placed on top of the magic circle.
It was the left leg that was amputated at the hip joint.
“It is as written in the journal. In order to enter the center of this workshop, it was written that a total of 5 magic circles, including that one, must be neutralized.”
“… What kind of magic circle is it?”
Even though she struggled with the cruel stimulation she was not used to, Sisala did not give up her magical curiosity.
As a reward for playing the role of a summoned beast who diligently catches monsters, Dojin told the story of the setting.
“As I said at the beginning, it is a magic circle to connect this place with the world of demons. Among the two pentagrams placed in the center of the magic circle, the forward direction represents Rostania and the reverse direction represents the world of demons. What connects the middle is that human body. It was created based on the story of summoning a demon by sacrificing a human… It’s like the madness of an unsure wizard.”
“Then the other four magic circles… … ?”
“What is the reason for the 5 magic circles? I wanted to form a giant inverted pentagram with 5 magic circles and create a door in the center of the star.”
“… It’s new, but seeing that, I can see why they had to hide and experiment.”
Demon-related research is not prohibited in Rostania.
In a world where the top priority is to know the enemy, to know oneself, and to overcome the approaching crisis and survive, research on all potential enemies is indispensable.
However, it becomes a problem if the method is to scatter human flesh and blood and use the unclean energy to summon the devil.
“Anyway, let’s start with that failure. According to the journal, it was written that approaching that magic circle would wake up a much stronger evil spirit than anything you’ve experienced so far.”
It was a lie that it was written in the journal, but the phenomenon itself was the truth.
The five magic circles spread out in the shape of an inverted pentagon were each key objects guarded by named monsters.
If you approach without knowing anything, the energy of all the evil spirits remaining in the area where the magic circle is installed is absorbed, and a stronger named monster is summoned.
It was for this reason that Dojin tried to exterminate the evil spirits hiding in every corner without leaving a single one behind.
In order to summon the named monster in a weak state as much as possible and deal with it in one shot.
But no matter what, a name is a name.
No matter how much 4-star magic it is, it’s not an opponent you can be sure that you can deal with it in one shot.
Then what should I do?
Of course, you just need to weaken it enough to kill it at once.
It could be easily solved by pouring a large amount of holy water, but holy water had a separate use, so I had to save it as much as possible.
“This time, I ask you to attack only the evil spirits summoned from that magic circle, without having to attack in a wide area. With the strongest possible.”
Asking Sisala, Dojin stretched out his hand.
Golden light slowly bloomed, and a golden book opened at the outstretched fingertips.
《The Book of Truth》
“Light” was written on the opened page.
