I left the stronghold for a while, but no monsters invaded the stronghold.

To be exact, it would be correct to say that the monsters that invaded were driven away by the magic I had installed.

Thanks to that, the base was intact and I was able to go straight to bed.

– Woohoo…

But I didn’t miss my night shift.

Even though Lee Ji-yeon and I have evenly distributed the spirits and spirits, as well as my magic and observation, it would be problematic if they were to become too loose inside the dungeon.

So, Lee Ji-yeon and I decided to split the night shift equally.

I’ll stand halfway, and Lee Ji-yeon will stand the other half.

I sat in front of the fever magic tool in the center of the base and blinked blankly.

Silence soon descended on the stronghold where a brief commotion had occurred.

Outside the stronghold, the sounds of monsters fighting and competing for survival were still loud, but inside the stronghold, it was very quiet.

“Koooo… ”

“Kuuul, kuuul… ”

Several breathing sounds can be heard through the silence.

I can hear Lee Ji-yeon’s even breathing from inside the tent spread out behind me.

And then there was the muffled snoring coming from the camping chair next to me.

The fairies didn’t enter the tent, but laid out a chair next to me and fell asleep.

As before, they are all gathered on one chair, clinging to each other, and are each hugging my spirits in a deep sleep.

– Woohoo…

Originally, these spirits would have been shining brightly, but it was quite funny that their bodies became soft as if in power saving mode so as not to disturb sleep.

‘… Since they said they’ve lived relying on each other since birth, it’s inevitable that they’ll be that close.’

I heard the general situation from the fairies.

Fairies born in this dungeon from the beginning.

The fairies that were born first died one by one, and in the end, the remaining children had a hard time living together.

This dungeon is level 2.

It must have been a very difficult place for fairies without any special fighting ability to live in, but they managed to survive with the secretive nature of fairies.

But recently, it is said that he has been being relentlessly pursued by a crazy monster… a lizard monster that was beaten to death like a dog by Lee Ji-yeon.

‘The ability to sense, you’re caught there.’

Perhaps, he sensed the presence of a fairy by chance and based on that, he pursued the fairy like crazy.

From a monster’s perspective, fairies are very tasty, and they are elixirs that can fly through the sky.

The moment when you are chased by that monster for a long time and eventually end up in danger.

The whole story is that I intercepted the rescue signal that Rio had been sending out in a desperate manner, and I appeared out of nowhere and barely managed to save him.

‘I was lucky.’

I was lucky.

There is no other explanation.

The circumstances fell into place in many ways.

It was a truly unique experience for me, who was usually full of bad luck.

Thanks to that, the nine fairies can now all sleep soundly on the chairs without being separated from each other.

– Your Majesty! Why are your eyes closed?

– The King has six wings… GASP! The King’s wings are changing!

– But why isn’t there a knight next to me?

‘Oh… ‘

But there were still some questions that remained unanswered.

Why are you suddenly calling me king?

– Because you are the king?

Let’s ask and that’s the answer we get.

It was as if he was being asked why people call humans humans.

‘…Am I really a fairy?’

But in the end, the fairies clearly consider me one of their own.

His face naturally became complicated.

After gathering all the facts, it seemed certain that I was a pseudo-fairy.

It was a rather shameful thought to think of myself as a fairy.

It’s a truly mysterious feeling when you think about it from a racial perspective.

– Did the Savior himself become aware of his own species?

– The characteristic of race also acts as a unique characteristic.

The question is whether you are aware of your race.

An explanation that the characteristics of a race are sometimes implemented as unique abilities.

Ariel kept giving hints as long as it didn’t violate the restrictions.

Your unique ability is a racial uniqueness.

‘Magic friendly.’

Perhaps a unique ability as a fairy.

It matches the characteristics of fairies who are born with an affinity for magic and attributes.

I can understand.

It may sound like a boast, but in this world, there are so many people who see my potential and give me so much support.

There may be some kind of amazing secret to birth.

then…

‘What is an all-rounder?’

A beauty of many faces.

A unique ability that falls somewhere between being an all-rounder and a technical ability.

I could never think of this as a racial uniqueness.

– The Savior does not yet recognize his own servant.

But Ariel indirectly denied my thoughts.

You don’t recognize the bell now, it’s not all fairies, there are other things too.

Here, if we compare it to magical affinity, the only thing left for me is the all-rounder.

‘… What on earth should I think about the fact that being an all-rounder is a unique racial trait?’

The question itself.

Nothing comes to mind.

My head felt stuffy, as if I was trapped in the dark night sky.

– rustle

It was then that I heard a noise.

The boundaries were not sharpened.

“Haaam… It’s time. Thank you for your hard work.”

Soon the tent opened and Lee Ji-yeon came out, walking unsteadily.

[Did you sleep well?]

“Yes, thanks to you, I slept well.”

Lee Ji-yeon, who was still a bit sleepy, rubbed her eyes and flopped down on the chair next to me.

It wasn’t a chair with fairies.

Thanks to that, the fairies were not crushed to death by that huge butt.

‘… Fortunately, it doesn’t seem to be a bad feeling.’

Even if you look closely, there doesn’t seem to be any particularly awkward attitude.

Fortunately, it seems like the fairy queen’s remarks were just a child’s prank.

He breathed a deep sigh of relief at that.

[Then I will go in now]

Now the remaining night watch falls to Lee Ji-yeon.

‘What should I do today?’

Of course I won’t sleep.

To be exact, I feel sleepy but have no intention of falling asleep.

I don’t really want to sleep, and even if I do, I’ll have nightmares.

It was the moment when he was about to raise his body.

“Junior, but can you sleep alone?”

[yes?]

At Lee Ji-yeon’s words, my body suddenly stopped.

[What, what does that mean?]

I found myself closing my mouth in embarrassment.

Rather than being absurd, it felt like it hit the nail on the head.

But it didn’t reveal him clearly.

On the outside, he shrugged his shoulders calmly.

[How old am I? Your jokes are so childish…]

“I heard from my junior Elia. She said that the child can’t fall asleep without someone by her side, so please take good care of her.”

[That]

[Elia…]

The rebuttal was shot down.

The other person had already heard the truth.

I felt really happy that Elia thought of me, but at the same time, shame swirled through my body…

“… You really can’t sleep alone?”

[… … ]

As I nodded slightly, burying my face in my hands, Lee Ji-yeon looked down at me with a strange expression.

“… Come here. I’ll give you some energy and put you to sleep.”

[… You don’t necessarily have to sleep]

“Oh, in a dungeon, you have to rest when you can.”

I slept soundly that day.

.

.

.

I licked the dungeon clean during the remaining period.

Defeat the monsters that appear, make them your commanders, and spread them out in all directions.

We sought out spirits that came to us, made contracts with them, and formed teams with other spirits to go find monsters and subdue them.

In that way, Lee Ji-yeon and I virtually led the army and went around the dungeon for two days.

The amount of monsters that had been pouring down like water was suddenly halted.

This was thanks to the fact that all the monsters in the nearby area were wiped out in just two days.

‘Any hero wouldn’t have done this.’

It was a great achievement.

Strictly speaking, it was possible because Lee Ji-yeon and I were able to handle necromancy and spirit magic at a level beyond our capabilities.

Even if a top-tier hero had entered, he would not have been able to clear the dungeon and slaughter monsters at this speed.

There is a reason why the association divided the categories into individual battles, monster battles, and wars against great armies, and it is not that superhumans in the war against great armies are rare.

In a fight against multiple opponents like this, a superhuman in the field of grand warfare will be able to demonstrate great strength.

Necromancy is a skill that becomes stronger as the war intensifies, as long as the caster’s skills are supported.

Lee Ji-yeon was a shaman with sufficient skill.

I am still a spirit magician who increases the number and quality of spirits.

To begin with, the elementalist’s magical power consumption is not that great, and I already have a huge magical power capacity.

Since you can practically slaughter monsters through automatic hunting, it was natural that the number of monsters would decrease.

Thanks to that, I was able to fully fill up the experience points needed for the promotion of the spirit I originally had.

Now, all you have to do is get promoted outside the dungeon with Professor Riana’s help.

[Have you been staying here until now?]

“Here it is! It was this tree!”

While clearing the dungeon, I also visited the place where the fairies originally resided.

A tree located fairly close to the dungeon’s core.

An old residence that was abandoned and fled to, unable to withstand the pursuit of a lizard monster.

The fairies wandered around with expressions full of longing.

I made a curious expression as I observed the huge tree in which the fairies were said to reside.

[There was a fairy tree]

The tree where the fairies lived was called the Fairy Tree.

“Um… and he’s been dead for quite some time.”

To be exact, it is a fairy tree that is already dead.

Lee Ji-yeon confirmed the kill by stroking the dried tree trunk.

“You must have attracted a lot of attention while you were alive… You’ve been doing well here.”

“Hing… Your Majesty, can’t you save the tree?”

“Wow, Queen… Ahem, if you’re just exhausted, then it might be possible, but there’s no way around a tree that’s already dead… ”

“Hinghing… ”

After looking around for a moment, the fairies soon clung to the tree and whined.

At the time, I had to leave it behind to survive, but now that I’m facing it again, I feel a sense of longing.

The sight was rather pitiful.

For some reason, I feel a bitter taste rising from the root of my tongue.

[… Let’s take a look at it. Even though it’s already dead, there might be a way to use it.]

After gently removing the whining fairies, he put the entire fairy neck into the subspace.

“Wow… !”

The fairies gaped in amazement as a huge hole opened in the air, swallowing the trees and the ground whole.

“… Is that spatial magic? The hole is too big… ?”

[Yeah, that’s right]

Lee Ji-yeon tilted her head with a trembling face.

The subspace she knows doesn’t seem to be that expansive.

I turned my head and put a sheet of iron on my face.

And then the conversation changed to another topic.

[Ahem, did you bring this separately too?]

I took out the object that came in with the fairy tree and the pile of dirt.

Charlangi is a clear glass bottle containing a pink liquid.

There were also several miscellaneous items buried nearby.

“Oh, yes, that’s right. I picked it up a long time ago and buried it.”

[why?]

“It looked pretty.”

[Oh, I see]

Certainly, there are things other than glass bottles that are shiny and look pretty on the outside.

There’s a magic stone too? Did you pick it up when a monster died and spit it out?

I shrugged and observed… or rather, I used my analysis function.

…Originally, it was a function that could be done by measuring the status window, but I had to use my authority as well.

‘No, the status window was prepared by the tower owner, so is the measurement actually an observation?’

I corrected my thoughts and turned to analysis.

‘…What is this?’

And he made a strange expression at the analyzed results.

“What is the effect?”

Lee Ji-yeon, who was waiting for me to analyze it, asked with a curious expression.

Even the fairies who pretended not to notice perked up their ears.

I rolled my head for a moment, then shook the glass bottle with an awkward expression.

[Hmm… a hated drug?]

“Yes?”

Lee Ji-yeon and the fairies had question marks floating above their heads.

I could understand.

I also analyzed it and wondered what it was.

The amount of information being analyzed was truly mind-boggling.

If you express it in the status window format, it would look like this.

[Player Compensation System: Measurement]

▶Measurement: A Hated Drug?

▶Elements: “Potion” “External Perception Manipulation”

▷Detailed Description: When taken, it distorts external perception to the worst extent for a certain period of time.

It is a drug that contains a phenomenon called cognitive manipulation.

It’s probably something similar to the artifacts that are automatically generated in dungeons.

Of course, even so, the limits of its effectiveness were clear.

It’s absolutely not to the extent of changing past records.

At best, it would be to the extent of overriding what is being recognized in real time.

But that alone is amazing.

But the effect was really useless.

The expression ‘a bright apricot’ was just right.

But it may have other uses.

First, I kept it in a subspace.

.

.

.

After everything that needs to be done is done.

Lee Ji-yeon and I left the dungeon with the fairies without delay.

Of course, there was concern that minor issues might arise in the middle.

Regardless of intelligence and disposition, fairies are creatures born and belong in dungeons.

I was in a position where I couldn’t go outside due to the restrictions of the dungeon.

– Woof woof…!

“Wow!”

But that wasn’t a problem for me, who had the power of space.

Because I couldn’t get through the entrance, I tore down the wall and made a new entrance.

The fairies’ eyes sparkled and they waved their hands in the whirlpool that formed in the air.

“… Is this real space magic?”

[B]

Thanks to that, Lee Ji-yeon’s expression became even more suspicious and questionable, but I didn’t care.

Actually, it’s not a big deal even if you get caught now.

Since you have enough power and authority, you won’t be swayed around like that.

As we came out of the dungeon, it was evening and the floor was dyed orange.

[Senior, it’s late. Would you like to eat before you go?]

“Ah… Is that okay?”

[Of course]

[Because you helped me so much, I want to treat you to a meal.]

It must be a little past dinner time.

I headed to the mansion with Lee Ji-yeon and the fairies.

Although it took one day longer than originally scheduled.

I told you in advance that I might be a few days late, so it won’t be a big deal.

Arrived at the mansion.

Sure enough, being a little late didn’t cause any problems.

The problem arose elsewhere.

“Your Majesty, is this person also your queen?”

“Hehehe, that’s right, me… this person too?”

[?]

Hong Yeon-hwa, who came out to greet me, blinked her eyes.
