Arthur read the book about dungeon strategy that Lucy gave him countless times.

At first, I was curious as to how a person named Lucy Aln had such outstanding skills in clearing dungeons.

Next, I was amazed at the enormous amount of knowledge contained in the book.

He also thought that after some time, he would give Lucy Alln a blow for ignoring him.

Recently, I decided to win at least once and get the answer I wanted from Lucy Alln.

I continued to read that book.

What Arthur felt at the same time was that Lucy Aln’s knowledge was not something she had simply received from the Lord.

Although her beginnings may have been a blessing from the Lord, it was Lucy Alln who embodied it and made it her own.

Traces of all the hard work Lucy had done so far remained in the book.

A perfect strategy to attack trivial monsters that you have no reason to worry about.

There is also a way to destroy traps that can be passed through with the body.

Not only how to find your way in an existing dungeon, but also how to find your way when entering a completely new dungeon.

In all those words, you can see how sincere Lucy Aln is about the dungeon. And it was obvious how much effort was put into making that dungeon sincere.

Because of that, Arthur did not doubt the things Lucy wrote in the book.

The book, written in Lucy’s unique playful tone, seemed like it was meant to make fun of someone, but what was inside was clearly Lucy’s sincerity.

Arthur, who accepted and tried to embody her sincerity, was now able to feel his own achievements.

There’s a trap on the right. Behind something that is clearly visible, something that is not clearly visible is hidden.

Looking at the structure of the trap, it looks like the way forward will be blocked the moment it is triggered.

Blockage of passage. Constructed to prevent those who run away.

That is not the right path.

I guess I’ll have to go back another way.

Hmm. The appearance of the monster waiting over there is similar to what Lucy Aln wrote down.

Those poor puppies are sensitive to sound, so if you make a loud noise, they will urinate and beg.

You were right. Thanks to you, I can pass by easily.

Is it a puzzle this time? If you think about it based on the clues you’ve noticed so far, you’ll quickly come up with an answer.

Arthur, who was smoothly advancing through the dungeon, gradually became unable to understand the child’s stern expression.

Can trials be this easy?

If the ordeal involved a piece of ancestry directly, there would have to be something much more difficult than this. Isn’t that how you can prove your qualifications?

It’s strange too. It’s too easy. It almost makes me think that the dungeon that Lucy Alln gave on last year’s final exam was even worse.

no. Objectively, it felt more like hell that way.

If given the opportunity to attack that place only once, would there be anyone who would attack it in just one attempt?

Arthur laughed and walked even faster.

If you waste your time in a place like this, you never know what you might hear from Lucy Alln.

It’s obvious that I’ll be a subject of ridicule for a long time now, but if it’s too late, how far will my personality be shattered?

Arthur, who had recently seen Carl crawling on the floor as a chair, was horrified to imagine that he had taken his place.

That can’t be possible. If that kind of situation comes up, I’d rather bite my tongue and die.

“Hospitality.”

Arthur, who was moving forward in a cold sweat, frowned when he saw the little boy who suddenly appeared next to him.

“Is the ordeal over already?”

“It would be nice if it were like that. no. This is the worst situation. The energy of evil spirits is interfering here.”

“…What?”

“I’m doing my best to prevent that, but I guess I’m just too old.”

Arthur’s expression became serious at the little boy’s bitter laughter.

Come to think of it, Erginus also said this. The time to improve the barrier is slowly approaching.

The magic circle that has been standing here for hundreds of years cannot have the original strength.

I understand this with my head, but it’s difficult for my heart to accept it. Shit.

“ Doesn’t that mean that the intervention of the void will eventually begin? ”

“It is still progressing slowly. purple. The monsters before my eyes. Isn’t it getting increasingly difficult to distinguish between their appearances?”

What the little boy said was an undeniable truth. Because truth and lies were mixing in Arthur’s vision.

“We must overcome the ordeal before they completely complete their control. Is it possible?”

“If you have come to this situation, it is not a question of whether it is possible or not.”

Anyway, since he has come this far, there are no other options for Arthur. Ultimately, this is a race against time.

Wouldn’t it be quicker for the power of the void to completely take control of this magic circle? Or is it faster for Arthur to overcome this ordeal?

“I have to do it.”

Racing against time was something Arthur was confident in. Isn’t the opponent he’s tried to beat so far someone with overwhelming skills in this field?

Arthur, who had been trying desperately to defeat Lucy, did not think he would lose this fight.

“If that guy loses at the place he trusted and entrusted, how will he be able to raise his face?”

*

– You killed us.

no. It is you who pushed you to death.

If you had overcome the trials, you could have become a star, but you are the ones who failed.

– We gave ourselves up to a dream that could never be achieved.

Wrong. The reason my dream seemed far away was because you guys lacked talent.

Look at the star named Lucy Aln.

Look at that star in the sky that shines brighter than the sun. If you guys were as bright as me, my dream would have come true a long time ago.

– In the end, you are an incompetent person who can’t do anything on your own.

okay. I gave up shining brightly alone.

Is this wrong? Is it a sin to choose reality instead of struggling to believe in a vain dream?

Why is romance called romance? It is called romance because it cannot come true.

I decided that rather than living like an idiot who only thinks about romance, I would make my dreams come true in reality.

Every time Luca walked around the street, he answered each and every voice he heard, tearing apart their existence.

There was no hesitation. There was no guilt either.

If I had been stopped by conscience, I wouldn’t have walked this far.

In the process, Luca felt something dirty spreading along with the oath he had broken.

At a faster rate than it has ever spread before.

Luca didn’t know what exactly was happening, but he ignored what was happening in his body and looked ahead.

If you think about it calmly, what Lady Arlen did was just a waste of time.

Even if the spirits surround us like this, they can’t inflict any serious damage.

You may be able to give one or two more, but that’s it.

If you think about it differently, it’s strange.

Is there any advantage to taking time?

As Void Erosion becomes stronger, this side will become more advantageous, right?

I don’t know exactly what they’re aiming for, but there’s no need to conform to their intentions.

The erosion should have progressed to some extent by now, so let’s try to make the opponent more urgent.

“Lemnus. Can you contact the outside world? I would like to know the progress of erosion.”

“It is said that more than half of it was swallowed. However, external resistance is gradually becoming more intense.”

“Then let’s slowly use what we have prepared.”

Several golems brought in under the pretext of using them when creating an academy dungeon.

The moment those objects that have been eroded by the power of the Void are imbued with power by the followers of the Void, they will become one person’s power and run wild within the barrier.

“Lady Aln. Since you’re listening, let me tell you, the golems are going to slaughter. The story is that those sleeping within the barrier will die helplessly. Because you were incompetent. Because you aided and abetted it. They’re going to die.”

ruler. You pretend to be strong on the outside, but you are weak on the inside. Can you keep calm even after hearing this?

Can we try to ignore their deaths?

I assure you, you won’t be able to do that. If you were a person who could achieve your own will while ignoring the sacrifices of others, there is no way the author named Ju-soo would have chosen you.

“Puhahahaha♡”

I knew it.

A girl’s laughter is heard from beyond the darkness of the hallway. A wicked laugh that is so clear and beautiful that you can’t ignore it.

“I keep talking all day long♡”

Red pigtails of hair were fluttering in the air.

“If you pretend to be so strong, don’t you feel ashamed?♡”

The red eyes, darker than blood, shined clearly even in the darkness.

“Contrary to bragging, it seems like he might want to commit suicide when he sees his pitiful situation♡”

The smirking corners of her mouth make her look like she has an advantage.

“Have I become unable to distinguish between my imagination and reality?♡ Coop♡ Sigh♡ Pity me♡ I wonder how ugly my real self must have been to suffer from mental illness♡”

A small, beautiful girl who could not hide her admiration from anyone who saw her, proudly stood in front of a group of Void followers, including Luca.

“Which reality did you want to deny so much?♡ That you have premature ejaculation?♡ That your talent is as bad as your ornamental hair?♡ Or that your dream will never come true?♡”

Luca felt the veins on his forehead rising every time Lucy’s words penetrated his ears, but he struggled to control his emotions.

The moment you fall for those words, it will be as she intended.

do not do that. It should be me who takes the initiative. It has to be me, the craftsman.

“Haha. Do you have time to talk like that?”

“…”

The moment Luca spoke up, Lucy closed her mouth. Even though you act relaxed, you seem to be anxious on the inside.

“In the meantime, people on earth will be dying one by one? Weak…”

“Puhahahahaha♡”

Just as Luca was about to ask if you could bear that, Lucy’s laughter cut him off.

The first time he heard that laugh, Luca thought Lucy was acting. I thought he was trying to laugh on purpose to appear relaxed.

“There is no point in trying to cover up the embarrassment with a smile.”

“Big♡ Sigh♡ Perverted Professor♡ Are you really that stupid?♡ Do I look like I’m smiling fake right now?♡”

“Even if you bluff.”

“Puhhh♡ You’re the one who’s bluffing♡ You’re an idiot who has no talent or passion but premature ejaculation♡”

…isn’t this a bluff?

No?

That can’t be possible.

That can’t be possible.

If something changed, I should have known about it a long time ago!

“Ah♡ Are you really thinking that what you’re saying is true?♡ Are you thinking that your stupid plan won’t be interfered with?♡”

“Ha. Feel free to say whatever you want. That doesn’t change anything.”

“…Professor Luca! On the ground!”

The moment a puzzled voice was heard from the Void follower, Luca quickly turned his gaze towards Lucy.

“Hehehehe♡ I can’t believe I have to deal with an idiot like this♡ I feel so pitiful♡ Right?♡”

Her smile was relaxed.
