Luca led the evil god’s followers into a hidden part of the laboratory and frowned when he saw the scene inside.

When I came here before, it was a very shabby place, but now why has it turned into a hallway that looks like something you’d see in a nobleman’s mansion?

It’s strange to think that it was prepared by Lady Aln.

I don’t know what she was like in the past, but the recent daughter is far from vain.

Even on the academy’s holiday, instead of wearing expensive clothes, I just wear my school uniform like usual. She, who doesn’t even bother decorating her own room, couldn’t have prepared something like this out of personal hobby.

So what is the current landscape? Why did Lady Arlen create something like this herself?

There is only one thing that he would bother to put effort into despite his own inconvenience.

“Dungeon.”

During last year’s final exam, Luca felt how sincere Lucy Alln was about the dungeon and was confident that his intuition was right.

Unless it was a dungeon, there was no way a person named Lucy Aln would have put this much effort into it.

This is causing a bit of trouble. If it were a dungeon that Lady Arlen had personally worked on, it would be a very difficult place.

If you rush in, you never know what will happen. One good thing is that no matter how young you are, there will be limits to creating a dungeon without the support of the Academy.

It won’t be as forced as it was when creating the Academy Dungeon. In a way, this is a good thing.

If Lady Arn destroys the work she put so much effort into and heads towards him, Lady Arn would also feel a sense of crisis.

Good. If I can push that person, I should be willing to do so.

“Let’s go.”

As I shared the spirit’s vision through Adri’s black magic, I felt perplexed as I watched Luca easily destroy various traps.

It is true that we made some compromises due to limitations in time and resources, but these are not things that can be destroyed that easily, right?

For example, those skeletons waiting for a surprise attack are just to attract attention.

I was planning to take advantage of the attention that was drawn to deal with the surprise attack by activating a trap I had prepared in advance to continue the confusion, and in the meantime, make a surprise attack through my commanders and create chaos.

However, Luca noticed and eliminated the commands waiting for the surprise attack first and also removed the trap in advance.

I took advantage of that gap and made the skeletons attack, but that attack didn’t produce any meaningful results.

The same goes for the fake wall that Luca is destroying now.

We designed it so that it could not be easily destroyed even if we knew it was a fake wall by adding a few tricks to the front, but Luca broke the fake wall as if it was natural and moved on.

Other than that, all the other parts are falling apart too easily.

what? Is this really weird?

Luca has become more capable than he appeared in the game.

Aside from the fact that he was crazy, he was a talented guy, but not to that level, right?

Luca, that bastard also became entangled with me and some kind of variable arose.

‘That’s bizarre. There’s no way the dungeon that the Lady put so much effort into creating could be like this?’

After hearing Luca mutter to himself, I felt the string of reason suddenly break and turned my gaze toward Adri.

“Stupid old woman. What do you think about what that perverted professor said?”

– …uh. that is. that.

“A pig that crawls on the floor and grunts speaks human language. Isn’t it really strange?”

Hahaha.

Something like this?

Is this the place I designed?

That chewy is really.

“Give me what I gave you. Right now.”

– W, here! Here it is!

After collecting the paper from Adri, I revised my plan based on what Luca and the Void Followers showed me just now.

First of all, it is difficult to threaten them with the physical force that Adri can prepare right now.

The entire barrier fell into the hands of the Void, and the power of the followers became stronger, and Luca’s power became stronger than I expected.

In times like this, you should go the other way. Adri next to me is a necromancer skilled in black magic, so it should be possible.

They wage psychological warfare by taking advantage of the fact that many of the traps they had set up earlier were easily destroyed. If we twist their psychology one more time by considering that Luca treats them like tools.

“Grandma. You can do it, right?”

– …I think it’s possible, but this is too much.

“Lonely old lady. Have you been living alone for so long that you have trouble understanding the atmosphere? There is only one answer I want. All the old lady has to do is do it. Even an old woman with poor social skills would have understood this much, right? Huh?”

I thought that the Adri I knew would definitely grumble, but strangely, Adri nodded that she understood and urgently gave orders to the commands she was controlling.

what? Why is he acting like that all of a sudden? Did you feel any sense of crisis?

As I was wondering about him, Frey next to me nudged me.

“Why. Foolish prosecutor.”

“Lucy was really scared just now.”

“…Huh?”

“Really. really. really. I was scared.”

“Hmm?”

After jumping over the small traps prepared in the hallway, Luca moved forward and tilted his head in puzzlement.

Strange. It looks like the Lady put a lot of effort into preparing this place, so why is it so easy?

The dungeon he prepared couldn’t be like this?

It’s somewhat tricky, but it’s too ordinary for something he made.

The Alain Lady I know would not have created a dungeon like this.

That’s strange. Am I missing something? Luca, who suspected that he had fallen into some kind of trap, immediately pulled out his dagger and swung it at the eerie feeling behind him.

The sword swung by the spirit that protrudes from beyond the wall is blocked by his dagger.

– Hehehe.

As soon as the sound of laughter penetrates my ears, spirits appear one by one from beyond the wall.

A person dressed as a maid. A person dressed as a servant. A person wearing noble clothes. A man wearing knightly armor. He repeatedly appears and disappears, retaining the resentment he felt when he faced a painful death.

– It’s a person.

– What brings you here?

– It smells musty.

– It’s a disgusting smell. Was there a lot of things I couldn’t say before?

The dead chattered non-stop, filling the hallway with their voices.

Is it a command again? These people are not suitable for someone who receives the love of the Lord.

…no. It’s different from what came out before.

Unlike the spirits that attacked us before, these people have a proper form.

“On the topic of things that should disappear.”

“I will share the blessings of the void.”

While Luca was pondering, one of the Void’s followers brandished a weapon.

An attack filled with the power of the void tears the spirit’s being in half and turns their existence into a ball.

Luca, seeing that scene, clicked his tongue inwardly.

You’re hasty. Have you not noticed the change?

If you are in a place related to black magic, you must carefully observe each and every one of these things. I knew there was some kind of trap waiting for me.

what. I guess it’s good. Is there any reason to stop someone from volunteering to become a test subject?

“You’ve become weak!”

Even though the person they were supposed to call their comrade was torn to pieces before their eyes, the commanders instead of being scared, laughed even louder.

– Are you scared?

-Are you afraid of dying?

– Woo-hu-hu.

– Are you afraid of going to the void while worshiping it?

“Miscellaneous spirits are crossing the line!”

While the followers of the Void huffed and swung their weapons at the wall, Luca only pretended to attack in moderation and calculated the power of the spirits.

They are not mere miscellaneous spirits. If it was something that only had a grudge, it should have already lost its temper and attacked us.

The reason they don’t do that and just keep messing with us is that they have the power to be controlled.

No matter how much I think about it, I don’t think anything good will come of messing with the spirit.

I guess I’ll just have to pretend to deal with it appropriately and watch the atmosphere.

“Damn it! Rat-like things keep happening. Pfft!”

As the petty fight continued, one follower was injured by the evil spirit. On the outside, the wound was nothing more than a minor scar.

It is a small wound that will not leave any trace once it heals over time.

However, the follower showed a triumphant expression even though he was bleeding because he had erased one of the spirits at the cost of his own wounds.

“I’ll send everything back to where it belongs!”

It didn’t take long for the battle to end. When more than half of the spirits disappeared, the spirits were bitten in the foot.

“Unlike before, it was a little annoying, but it wasn’t a big deal.”

“Even if you use your strength, you still end up like this. This is truly pathetic.”

“What can you expect from someone who serves a rotten god?”

It’s crazy that a bitch who should be claiming hypocrisy joined hands with a necromancer, but even though she joined hands with a necromancer, the preparedness she had prepared was at the level of trash.

The followers of the Void, who did not know much about Lucy Alln, thought she was cornered.

“Professor Luca! Get directions quickly! With our own hands, we will remove obstacles and offer sacrifices to the Void!”

Luca, who was urged by his followers who were excited about the fact that they could make a contribution, thought about issuing a warning, but just nodded.

The attacks by the spirits continued.

These people, who were supposed to be full of resentment toward the world, suddenly came out and attacked, but they suffered some damage and ran away repeatedly.

There were many small wounds on the bodies of the Void Followers, but the Void Followers did not care about them at all.

These are people who worked for the god they served and overcame countless dangers of death. How could a minor wound like this stop them?

In the process, Luca felt his discomfort growing.

Am I worrying too much?

no. However, the opponent is Lady Arlen.

She must have done something.

“Terra? Why are you acting like this all of a sudden?”

Luca turned his head at the voice coming from behind him and saw the follower of the Void standing still with blank eyes.

The Void follower called Terra muttered something in an unintelligible language and swung his weapon at his companion.

“Hey! You!”

Instead of being embarrassed when Luca saw that scene, he let out a sigh of relief.

Look away from the various traps prepared along the road.

The same goes for the skeletons that attacked us along the way.

It reassures you by making you think it’s nothing. By doing so, the minor wounds inflicted by the evil spirits are made to count as nothing.

But that’s the aim. Something flowed through a wound that was nothing.

I don’t know exactly what it is, but I don’t really want to know.

I don’t think there’s any need to know.

Luca passed by the confused people and stood in front of the man who had lost his senses. He swung his dagger and blew off the man’s head, then turned around.

“Let’s keep going. Be careful not to get hurt.”

“C. You.”

“What’s the problem?”

But even this is too boring to be a trap. Lady Aln.

As far as I know, your talent wasn’t this good.

How can I become more desperate for you?

also.

Is it best to threaten those connected to you?
