Yuden, who followed the information voluntarily provided by the follower of the void, entered the academy and felt the power of the void filling the door, and his eyes sharpened.

I guess what that guy said was true. It’s clear that this place is the focus of the plan, as I feel a strong sense of unique energy there.

The moment Yuden tried to surround herself with magic to shake off the evil spirit’s energy, a warm energy enveloped her, causing the void energy around her to retreat.

It’s “. After all, she is a saint. I’ve worked with priests a few times, but this is the first time I’ve seen something this clean.”

“Because I am a person who can only do this. We have to do our best where we can.”

“Nothing but this.”

You say things so calmly that other priests would feel ashamed if they heard them. It’s even more vicious that those words are sincere.

If someone other than the saint had said something like that, there would have been many people who were truly jealous and slandered her.

Yuden lightly laughed as he thought about that and spoke to Joy, who had a slightly stiff face.

“Lady Patran. Please continue to distinguish between real and fake.”

“I understand. I do my best.”

As Joey moved forward, he looked at the dreamers of hell.

Those who were making groaning noises with their eyebrows furrowed looked like pitiful people in a nightmare, but you shouldn’t trust too much what you see with your eyes. Because I don’t know which of them might be a trap.

Just as Joy was tense, Yuden suddenly swung his sword.

A sword wrapped in red aura cuts through the air, but nothing comes back.

“Sword Saint?”

“Something attacked.”

“Yes?”

“…Hmm. shit. It’s hard to explain because I can’t hear anything or see anything.”

Geomseong’s words had some resemblance to the nonsense of a crazy person.

So much so that I think that if the person who spoke was a mercenary Nabulang rather than a swordsman, he would naturally have let it slip.

However, the person who spoke this time was the Sword Saint, and her senses, which had overcome countless hardships, were more reliable than anyone else’s.

“Wait a minute.”

The moment Joey casts magic on his vision, the power of the void disappears and his true self is revealed, albeit briefly.

Arrowheads scattered on the floor. A Void follower holding a bow is seen running away in a hurry in the distance.

Yuden’s intuition was right. Her intuition, which may be sharper than that of animals, blocked the enemy’s attack.

However, that true appearance did not last long. Responding to it in a space filled with the power of Void was more nerve-wracking than I could have imagined.

“It’s difficult. I think it would be a bit dangerous to proceed recklessly. Lady Patran. Can’t we just keep the magic going?”

“…I’m sorry.”

“From the saint?”

“First of all, I will try to defeat the power of the void as much as possible.”

Joey, who stopped walking, gathered his nerves and remembered the book on dungeon strategy that Lucy had given him.

The book was not simply a book containing information on how to advance through the dungeon.

Rather, it was closer to a book in which the creator of all the dungeons in the world personally described how to conquer them.

Joy, who had read it hundreds of times and engraved it in her mind, easily recalled the information she needed at Soul Academy, which had been eroded by the void.

First of all, this place is like a dungeon created by the evil god of the void.

It hasn’t been completely eroded yet, so monsters won’t come out, but the power of the Void Followers will be stronger than usual, and while fighting them, you’ll have to constantly distinguish between what’s real and what’s fake.

Last time we attacked the forest, Lucy did all the work.

Therefore, there were no cases where problems arose from attacking fakes. But Lucy is not with us right now.

So I have to do it.

The best thing to do would be to always use magic to get rid of the hallucinations, but that’s not possible. Because there is a limit to my magical power.

Since we don’t know how long it will take for this to be resolved, we need to be as efficient as possible.

‘A bastard who is nothing can only imitate something else. ‘You’re too incompetent to make something yourself.’

‘So, when dealing with that bastard, you just need to remember a few procedures.’

‘The first thing we need to do is find out what the incompetent scoundrel is trying to emulate. It will be very easy. Just because a loser acts cool doesn’t mean he stops being a loser.’

What did the evil god of the void imitate to create this place? Joy looked at her surroundings and organized information in her head.

The first thing you see is that the appearance of the academy hasn’t changed much.

Walls too. Decoration too. Even students who are asleep. Everything is the same.

The sound you hear is the same. This place is strangely quiet.

There must be some Void followers scurrying around inside, but I can’t hear any sounds.

Disturbance of the five senses.

A dungeon created by a dark evil spirit.

‘Once you’ve figured out what you’re imitating, it’s time to let that bastard know how incompetent he is. ‘This bastard who is nothing can’t even follow along properly.’

The dungeon that the evil god of the void imitates is a backwards version of the original dungeon.

When you imitate the dungeon created by the evil spirit of darkness, the gaps that arise are all senses.

At first glance, it seems like your senses have disappeared, but if you concentrate, you will realize that all your senses have improved.

Among them, the biggest gap is the sense of smell.

“Sword Saint! You can trust your senses! Especially the sense of smell!”

“I almost know what you mean!”

After hearing Joey’s story, Yuden became confident in his intuition and began swinging his sword.

Then, I felt that the senses that had been blurry were gradually becoming clearer.

Her five senses had not disappeared.

The void, which only imitates darkness, could not completely exclude the senses of the Sword Saint.

“Paybee! Please use holy magic with the intention of breaking the unity of the power of the void rather than pushing it away!”

While Yuden was blocking the attacks from the Void Followers, Joey tried to explain to Fabi how to respond, but the process was not easy.

The problem was that she was a wizard, not a priest.

Joey, who only knew the logic of magic, was unable to explain his knowledge in a way that the priest could understand.

“So. this. Like interfering with the opponent’s magic.”

“I understand what you are saying.”

Although it was a rather bizarre explanation from a priest’s perspective, Fabi nodded with a soft smile.

As she matured and learned under Bishop John, she became not just a priest, but someone who could manipulate divine magic.

“Are you talking about this format?”

When it comes to dealing with divinity, Faby possesses such amazing abilities that even Lucy, the Apostle of the God of God, expressed admiration, and quickly realized what Joy had said.

Then, the surrounding darkness blurs and the true images beneath begin to emerge.

“…I think it will be difficult to keep this going. The power of the void is gradually becoming stronger.”

“Saint! How long do you think you can last!”

“About 10 minutes.”

“That’s enough! Two minutes. Follow closely behind! I will pass by destroying everything!”

Arthur was led by the hand of a small child to an unknown location, and the place he arrived was somewhere similar to the hallway he used to wander around with Lucy.

“Where?”

“A place of testing to verify qualifications. Once you reach this end, you can gain authority to control the magic circle.”

“What should I do?”

“That’s up to you. Are trials just trials for nothing?”

As the little boy spoke confidently with his arms crossed, Arthur frowned.

“The situation is this urgent, so why be so stubborn?”

“This is not stubbornness but procedure. If you do not follow the procedures properly, you cannot obtain permission.”

“Then tell me how to attack it. Shouldn’t we overcome this as soon as possible?”

“Think about it. You stupid thing. If that were the case, I would have sent you right over here.”

Arthur, who watched the little boy click his tongue, understood that it was an unavoidable situation.

If you look at that guy’s serious expression, he probably isn’t joking.

ha. It’s an ordeal. I’m already at a loss as to what awaits me.

Nothing will happen if I stand still, so let’s go through that door first.

As soon as Arthur opens the door and goes inside, the door closes on its own and the path to the outside disappears.

If you come in here, you can’t go back. I had no intention of backing down anyway, so it doesn’t matter.

Arthur took a step forward and stopped for a moment after checking the appearance of the road.

“No way. Is that ordeal meant conquering a dungeon?”

…I guess not? Why is it necessary to have the ability to conquer a dungeon to verify one’s qualifications to use a magic circle?

Arthur shook his head in doubt, but as time passed, his suspicions became reality.

How to find your way.

Traps that exist in between.

Several monsters block his path.

Everything resembled the structure of the dungeon.

After a while, Arthur became convinced and ended up laughing without realizing it.

“Indeed. Is this why Lucy Aln didn’t say anything to me?”

I understand now. If the trial to control the magic circle involves conquering a dungeon, there is no need to mentally prepare.

What I’ve learned ad nauseam from that guy is how to conquer dungeons, so what can I do to prepare?
