“If you look at the changes from when we attacked, it’s clear what the Pope’s intentions were. He reduced the quality of soldiers and increased their quantity. He probably wanted to avoid various problems that would arise from mental and physical fatigue.”

“It’s obvious just by looking at the soldiers’ appearance. The enemies we faced were all crazy guys, but the guys below now are knights who value honor.”

“A simple and effective method.”

“Well. Even so, it’s all in vain from the moment the kid skips that.”

The expressions of the warriors’ party became subtle at the words that Garad spat out with a hollow laugh. As he had said, all the efforts the Pope had made were rendered meaningless by Lucy’s antics.

“Did you really have to bring that up?”

“I’m sorry, everyone. It was because of my incompetence.”

“Garad! Don’t you have any sense! The warrior is depressed again!”

“What the heck! Was what I said wrong?! How long are you going to deny reality!”

After entering the dungeon, Lucy Allen continued to engage in bizarre behavior.

After jumping over thousands of soldiers and getting through one room, he suddenly digs a hole in the next room and teleports to the door leading to the next room.

After heading towards the outskirts and doing something strange, she went towards the soldiers, but the soldiers didn’t seem to recognize her presence.

I suddenly stopped in the middle of the dungeon and turned to the side, and the soldiers who were supposed to appear disappeared.

Things that the warriors knew were incomprehensible to them continued to happen, and each time, the atmosphere among the warriors became more and more depressed.

It’s not that she’s dissatisfied with the fact that she’s clearing dungeons easily. People who are so vile and jealous can’t be called heroes.

The reason they complained of depression was actually the opposite.

Why didn’t I come up with that idea? If I had thought and acted like Lucy, my colleagues wouldn’t have had to suffer so much in the past. Why didn’t I come up with that way of thinking?

We all knew that it was foolish to regret it now, hundreds of years later, but the group of warriors still did not stop reminiscing.

“Do you think we could do something like that if we went back in time!?”

“You can make the military not come out.”

“There is also some guesswork as to how the sound was eliminated.”

“It is possible to reproduce something that jumped into the air.”

Because they were geniuses who could reproduce the same phenomenon.

“…Really?”

The first to answer Garad’s bewilderment was Ruel.

“It is possible to prevent the military from appearing if you have precise magic detection. It seems that the military appears the moment you touch a certain part.”

The next person to continue the story was the warrior.

“These soldiers were ultimately created in a hurry inside the dungeon. Naturally, there had to be some defects in their function. Modern warriors took advantage of that gap. They were recognized as allies by going through a certain ritual.”

“Now it seems to be my turn, so let’s say I analyzed the past travels of the Alun Youngae. As I learned then, there are tiny gaps between substances. The inside of the dungeon tries to recreate the outside environment as much as possible, but it can’t imitate such excessive details.”

An error that occurred when trying to artificially reproduce something that exists in the world. Lucy dug into the error and created the phenomenon she wanted.

“Honestly, it would take a long time to perfectly recreate it from scratch, but if you recreate it in the same environment, it would be possible. And by the way, Garad. You must have some guesses, too?”

“Damn it. Can’t you just pretend not to know?”

“Your expression is too serious for that.”

Lucy’s eccentricities only seem eccentric because they are so out of the ordinary. If you look closely, they are things that can easily be imagined and done.

It is by no means her exclusive privilege.

The heroes bit their lips when they realized this.

If they had noticed this, some of the hardships they had suffered in the past would have been reduced, the sacrifices would have been reduced, and more people could have been saved.

“How on earth did the kid figure that out?”

“To quote him, he said he didn’t find out, but rather learned.”

“What are you talking about, Ruel.”

“I don’t know if it was wisdom given by God or wisdom she had from the beginning, but Lucy just came to know it naturally.”

If Lucy Allen had heard it herself, she would have asked what kind of nonsense she was talking about, but the heroes nodded seriously to Ruel’s words.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to understand what Lucy showed me.

“Talent. Haa. This is becoming more and more miserable. Why was I chosen as a warrior? ”

“Wait a minute! Lucy Allen made a mistake!”

Garrad raised his voice when he saw Lucy, who had never failed before, stamp her feet in embarrassment for the first time.

“Yeah! That guy is human too, he can’t make mistakes!”

“…I wonder if it would be okay to be happy that Alren Youngae failed.”

“Oh. That’s true too.”

“It’s okay. Garad. It’s not like it’s been a day or two since you’ve been trash.”

While the heroes bickered, Ruel watched Lucy with worried eyes.

I chuckled at my grandfather’s worried question.

‘Why? Are you worried that I might do something wrong?’

‘Hahaha. You’re cute. It’s okay. This doesn’t even count as a problem.’

It’s natural for accidents to happen during speedruns.

To get the best record, you have to repeat some really ridiculous techniques as if it were a given.

No matter how much you practice, you can’t be perfect at every moment as long as you are human, and if you make a mistake, you should naturally come up with a way to deal with it.

Otherwise, you might blow away all your previous good records.

Actually, even if that weren’t the case, I would have known another way. I’ve been trying all sorts of speedruns since the beginning of Soul Academy.

Many people mistakenly believe that speedrunning is not simply a competition.

It is also a collaboration that is achieved by sharing information with each other. The new routes that each person has created are combined and combined to create the best record.

Having created my own routes and accepted others’ routes in the process, I know all sorts of ways to eat up dungeons.

The technique that failed just now was one where success or failure was determined by one frame.

If you succeed, it’s the fastest, but if you fail, you lose about 15 seconds.

It’s a painful waste of time in speedrunning, but this is reality. You can just eat it raw in other ways.

“Advance!”

I raised my voice as I heard a shout coming from behind me.

Let’s see. The structure of the soldiers is different from what I remember, but the commander is the same.

Then you can use the technique.

The moment I smiled and ran forward, horses came charging toward me from far away.

The knight in the lead held his halberd tightly in his hand as he rode.

After confirming that the weapon was imbued with magic, I took out the scroll from inside my body and tore it apart. The weight of my body became even lighter due to the magic.

“Take it!”

The commander shouts and jumps 3 seconds later.

After landing on the halberd, the force of the swing is received and it goes up into the sky.

It’s still lacking momentum, but that’s okay.

We plan to add more later.

“How dare you!”

I see the halberd being thrown and raise my shield.

Accelerate further by receiving physical shock with your whole body.

Endless rows of soldiers fly out of sight.

Ugh. What a shame. If I were a bitch, I would have swing my weapon around happily without any guilt.

I can’t believe I had to blow up one of the few places in Soul Academy where I could do Musou like this.

‘Why? Are you going to tell me that I was worried for nothing?’

‘…Huh? Isn’t this more normal than what you did before? Anyone can do it if they know the timing.’

‘Yeah.’

“Erginus.”

Erginus, who had only sent his mind inside the mace, slowly opened his eyes at the call of the Fairy Queen.

“The evil spirit’s energy is getting stronger and stronger.”

Erginus knew why the evil spirit’s energy was growing stronger.

That must be because Lucy Allen’s dungeon raid is almost over.

As the evil god’s minions fall, the power of the main god will become stronger, and the backlash will hasten the evil god’s resurrection.

“The evil spirit will probably descend upon this place soon.”

“Do you feel something?”

“…No. I just know it physically.”

The last thing Erginus saw before waking up was his boss being crushed to death by his summoned subordinates.

Clearly, when I was dealing with him, he felt like a hell lord leading an army of immortals, so how did he end up like that?

I knew that Alun Young-ae would win an overwhelming victory anyway, but was I wrong in hoping that she would show off a little bit of her power?

“Erginus?”

“Ah. Sorry. I saw something a bit shocking.”

“Oh my. Really? What a shocking sight!”

“When I’m done, I’ll show you my memories.”

“Hmm. I guess I’ll have to wait a bit longer.”

“No, it won’t take that long.”

Thanks to seeing that sight just now, my infinite trust in the person named Alun Yeong-ae has soared.

If everything goes according to her plan, the Demon of Void will fall without even being able to put up a proper fight.

However, if I mention only trust in Youngae Aln, the Queen will surely harass me later, so let’s change the subject.

“Because you’re here.”

“…Erginus.”

– Ha! You’re doing something weird!

A voice flowed out from an unidentified figure that appeared at the entrance of the dungeon.

It seemed like a human, an animal, an inanimate object, and sometimes a divine being, and it laughed as it changed the world as it pleased.

– Do you really think there are two of you? Do you really believe that what you are seeing is real? Can you really be sure that it is not an illusion created by a mind gone mad in the void!

“Wow. It’s amazing that it’s as predicted to this extent.”

Erginus, who was looking at the aura surrounding the evil god, snorted and turned his gaze to the Fairy Queen.

The queen smiled, bowed her head, and then clasped her hands together.

“Everyone. Have a fun playtime.”

A fantasy is drawn above the wings of fairies that appear in the darkness.

Not an empty space, but a forest scene that reminds me of a spring day.

“Let me bring some fun to that boring person.”

The Fairy Queen and Erginus entered into battle against the Demon God of the Void.
