A strange sound, which sounded like the sound of the deep sea or the sound of space, echoed throughout the world.
The rain stopped as if the torrential downpour had been a lie. The dark clouds cleared and the sky opened up.
The people on the battlefield thought as they were greeted by the bright, pouring, pure white sunlight.
The demon King is dead.
But they didn't kill them.
No one should be happy, and no one who cheer.
They were just staring up at the sky with a blank expression.
It wasn't because the ending wasn't clean, but because they knew that something worse than the Demon King was about to come.
For example...
The one who instantly melted the Demon King, who was difficult to subdue even when tens of thousands of people clung to him.
The empty eyes of one of the soldiers slowly turned towards the lakeside, or rather, towards what was now a dried-up pit.
The Demon King was as tall as a mountain. Compared to him, something small was standing still, covered in black fog.
Although nothing could be seen except for the red eyes, no one could help but know that it was Anasis, the worst necromancer who had devoured the Demon King.
It's really strange.
After the Demon King's roar, which seemed to rip their eardrums, disappeared, a strangely peaceful silence came over them.
When they saw the sun, they felt like giving up everything and going back.
Even though a bigger disaster is right in front of them, they have no desire to fight.
Is it just accumulated fatigue?
Or maybe they lost their spirit in the sudden peace.
At that time.
Pavabavat!
Kkwaddeok!!!
A tremendous sound of destruction was heard among the soldiers. The soldiers turned their heads in surprise.
A bright red aura and black mana attacked Anasis almost simultaneously.
Only then did the soldiers return to reality.
“Yes, get in line... Get in line! Take up your swords again!”
“His Highness the Crown Prince is here! If you don’t want to die, come to your senses, everyone!”
Yeah, it's not over yet.
This is not the time to be intoxicated by untimely peace. This is not peace, it is a harbinger of disaster.
From the beginning, whether they had lost their morale or not, they had no choice but to fight. If they didn't fight here, they would all die. This included their precious families back home.
What did you fight for? What did you risk your life to protect?
The soldiers' hearts sank heavily.
'Running away? What was I thinking just now?'
If Simone and Abel hadn't attacked Anasis quickly, they would have lost their life while being intoxicated with a false sense of peace.
The soldiers took up their weapons again and began to charge towards the disaster.
Meanwhile, Simone and her group were in a very tense situation.
“I got them all! I’m going to go crazy, for real!”
Abel nervously scratched his head. If he just cut off the neck, it would all be over.
He managed to catch it by avoiding all the attacks and taking them all in an attempt to reduce the number of victims, but then it was taken away by Anasis.
In the end, didn't the situation end up like this!
At least Abel could get angry, but Simone was running without even being able to make a sound.
It felt like he was on a roller coaster without a seatbelt.
In short, he is so nervous that he can't even open his mouth because everything ahead of him is so dark.
What on earth is Anasis thinking?
What are you planning to do from now on? What exactly should we prepare for?
Now that she has swallowed the Demon King who can control even time and weather, Anasis can no longer be called human.
She is neither human nor a monster.
She has god-like powers, so she can be called a God.
The more impatient Simone became, the stronger the mana that flowed from her hand became, and the faster it was consumed.
If the God of Death had not been possessed and helped, she really would have run out of mana and collapsed a long time ago.
But it doesn't work. The attack doesn't work.
Even the attacks of Abel, the protagonist of this world, were useless.
At that moment, the black fog that had been a small human figure began to writhe and expand little by little.
'What is that...'
Anasis was no longer in human form.
Anasis, no, it was a black wind that swirled and formed a huge dome shape.
“Ugh, AAAHHH!!!! Save me!!!!”
“I don’t want to die!”
“Don’t get caught up in the whirlpool!”
The black wind cut sharply, melting and blowing away the humans.
Its power was now at a level that could not be stopped by any barrier created by humans.
Orkan desperately mobilized the magic stone to protect them, but it only gave them enough time to escape, and it broke soon after.
“What the heck is this...”
Louis muttered in an utterly helpless voice.
He can't even begin to figure out how to get rid of it.
He watched Simone's expression as if he was holding on to a rope, but Simone was equally at a loss.
He can't do anything about that huge dome, not knowing what kind of disaster it will bring, so he just looks at it.
That moment.
I will go back
From somewhere, Anasis' happy voice could be heard.
It was then that Bianchi, who had been quietly watching the situation, raised his hand and pointed to the dome.
“That... doesn’t it look like something I’ve seen somewhere before?”
"What?"
“No, I didn’t see it wrong... No, I didn’t see it wrong. It’s covered in black fog, but I definitely recognize it.”
You know? Bianchi? Something so hideous?
Everyone looked at him with puzzled eyes, but Bianchi was confident.
“Hey, you guys don’t trust me? Guys, are my eyes funny?”
Bianchi looked at the group with a very unpleasant expression. Bianchi's eyes are noticeably better than those of other humans.
In the original, it was described that there was nothing that he could not see with her eyes, no matter how far away or dark it was, and that she was thus able to become Abel's companion, specializing in information gathering, stalking, and theft.
So if Bianchi says he's seen that weird dome somewhere, it's true.
But there's no way Bianchi would know about something artificial that Anasis created...
“How do you know?”
When Simone asked, Bianchi still seemed to be thinking hard, frowned, and then let out an exclamation.
“Ah! That’s it! The dungeon!”
“...A dungeon?”
“Now that I think about it...”
The group's gaze turned to the dome.
It was hard to see because it was covered in black fog, but from what Bianchi said, it seemed as if one part of it was the entrance to a cave.
“So Anasis became a dungeon? Is that possible?”
Jace, who had been clinging to Simone and instilling healing powers in her without her knowing when tilted his head and asked.
Louis nodded.
“Dungeons can be created by humans or other races.”
If you gather treasures and secrets in a deep cave, set up traps here and there, block it with a wall that no one can pass through, or scatter monsters, that too can be called a dungeon.
However, some dungeons are not artificial but created naturally, and they are said to be not only huge in size but also incredibly dangerous.
Sometimes, it was connected to another world, a very dangerous place, so there were many cases where people bravely went in and disappeared, and there were no gold or silver treasures worth taking the risk of going in.
It was a place that was really off-limits, so Abel had never been there, except for one time when he happened to get swept up in it.
The dungeon Bianchi was talking about was probably the latter.
It probably refers to a dungeon created by nature.
'It's not that it doesn't make sense.'
Simone thought. It would be impossible for humans to create such a huge dungeon, but Anasis was definitely capable of it.
Because her powers are god-like now.
So why did she create the dungeon?
Of course, after eating the Demon King, they thought she would start by cursing and destroying all the humans here.
However, Anasis, who had gained power, postponed the attack even though she had enemies like humans right in front of her and created a dungeon.
'Why?'
What are you going to do by creating a dungeon?
Any other purpose... huh?
“I'm going back.”
"Yes?"
“Simone, what did you say?”
“I heard Anasis’ voice earlier? She said, ‘I’m going back.’”
By any chance, Anasis.
Simone thought for a moment and then turned her gaze towards the dungeon.
“Could it be that Anasis is trying to cross over to another world through the dungeon?”
At that moment, the dome that was slowly taking shape finally took the shape of a complete dungeon.
And kuung-
From the dungeon came a sound that sounded like a human heartbeat.
A heavy, resonating wave.
...Uh?
The moment when those who felt this stopped attacking and prepared for defense.
Kuung-
Time stopped for everyone.
The rain stopped as if the torrential downpour had been a lie. The dark clouds cleared and the sky opened up.
