“What is this… … .”
Something was seriously wrong. Everyone in Simone's group thought the same thing.
The world stopped.
She thought this was something that would come out of a poet's verse, but is it actually possible?
The world literally stopped.
Except for Simone and her group who successfully defended themselves, neither people nor the blowing sandstorm stopped moving.
As if time had stopped.
Isn't this exactly what it feels like when a game crashes?
Orkan glared at Anasis' dungeon with serious eyes.
“It seems like she really did swallow the Demon King.”
It has been known since ancient times that manipulating the timeline is the Demon King's unique skill.
Anasis's ability to stop time means that she can not only take the Demon King's mana, but also use his techniques.
“This is absolute destruction.”
If they cannot release the time that has stopped forever, this world will end up trapped in a prison of time.
At this point, it was as good as destroyed.
“Don’t say that, Orkan.”
Abel spoke in a curse-like tone and put his sword back into its scabbard.
“It’s not over yet. Time has just stopped.”
“Even time has stopped. It’s not that simple.”
Orkan and Geneon. So the wizards who knew the seriousness of this situation looked around with bloodless faces.
“No human has ever turned back time that has stopped. People who are trapped in space and time are finished there. And since everyone’s time has stopped, there is no help available.”
The more Orkan explained, the more frustrated he became and he let out a deep sigh.
“I don’t even know how.”
It was literally a scene that seemed like the end of the world.
Of course, time has not stopped for the group, so he has no intention of letting it go completely.
But it was such a desperate situation that it wouldn't have been strange for the entire group to panic for a moment.
Even the always-calm Orkan finally let out a sigh of regret.
A long silence followed Orkan's words. They were speechless at the thought of how to resolve this situation from now on...
In particular, Crown Prince Louis of the Empire seemed to be more shocked than anyone else and even trembled.
Simone looked at the group, who were completely out of their minds, and then turned her gaze to Abel.
'After all, the main character is the main character.'
Abel also looked quite shocked. However, he had already regained his senses and was staring at the dungeon that Anasis had created.
He's probably thinking the same thing as Simone.
Simone patted Abel on the back and walked away.
“Then let’s go for now. No matter how much I think about it, it seems like the answer will be there.”
"Yes."
Abel followed Simone and spoke to his companions.
“How long are you going to just sit there blankly? Aren’t you going to go? You have to save people.”
Only then did the group's footsteps slow down.
“...I should go. I think the answer is in that dungeon.”
Orkan followed Simone and Abel, taking care of Louis, who was still in a panic.
"And..."
The group that arrived in front of the dungeon let out a sigh.
A sinister dungeon built on the site of a former lake.
All living things around were dead, time had stopped, and a thick black fog was flowing out from the entrance.
Just looking at it gives off such a threatening vibe. Can humans really enter this place?
Wouldn't it just melt and disappear as soon as you enter?
If they just watched, they would find themself hesitating and backing away without realizing it as if a huge tsunami was right in front of them.
“Ugh...”
Bianchi finally couldn't hold it in any longer and started vomiting.
It was obvious that normal humans who were not immune to that energy would not be able to withstand even this distance and would just fall down one by one.
Jace looked at Bianchi with a frightened expression, then steeled himself.
Then he approached Simone and said:
“This time!...I, I will protect you, Simone!”
Simone turned to him and spoke with all her might.
Simone's indifferent gaze landed on Jace. Jace's body tensed up involuntarily.
Even though he was just looking at her, she felt like he was clearly evaluating her level.
Does it still seem like he is lacking enough to be her person like the Crown Prince or Abel and his party?
It's dangerous, so should I tell you to wait here again?
But Simone just nodded without saying anything and turned her gaze towards the dungeon.
'It'll be okay.'
In my head, the image of Jace, who was still young, innocent, and fragile, still lingers...
Didn't you say that you became El's disciple?
Moreover, Jace was able to run to Simone without a single scratch during this war.
Especially, seeing as the healing power he had poured into Simone was stronger than expected, it would be more than enough to protect his own body.
'That's amazing growth, really.'
If it weren't for the curse of Anasis, he might have really been active as a Saint of some god...
While Simone smiled faintly in satisfaction, Jace's eyes, who had received her permission, were burning with determination.
“Yes, yes! I will definitely protect Simone! ...And of course, everyone else too!”
“Oh my, thank you for the advice, my lord-”
“Oh, that’s not it...”
Bianchi quickly erased his stern expression and smiled, pushing Jace forward.
'...Shit.'
As they moved forward, Bianchi's complexion, which had barely improved, began to worsen again.
Even though it was a matter of luck, it seemed like he would need the most help from Jace.
Even though he's been working with such strong colleagues, he's never once thought of himself as weak or a burden to his colleagues.
Because they are who they are and he is strong too.
Because they will get stronger in the future.
But right now, Bianchi is so jealous of that monstrous strength and physique.
Simone, Abel, Louis, and even Orkan and Jace, who are weaker than Bianchi, stand indifferently in front of the hideous dungeon.
As if its energy had no effect on them whatsoever.
But Bianchi was different. With each step he took toward the dungeon, he felt nauseous and his body felt heavy as if he was getting motion sickness.
'This won't be of any help.'
He just doesn't want to be a burden. Bianchi hesitated, then sighed deeply and shook his head.
“I’m sorry, but I’ll stay here and see if there’s another way.”
“Yes? You’re staying?”
“Yeah. I’ve been feeling uneasy for a while now, so I can’t stand it. Are you all okay?”
The group nodded in response to Bianchi's question. Bianchi shrugged.
“Then go ahead. I’m thinking of going to El just in case. He might have been successful in defending against this phenomenon.”
Yeah, I should find something I can do rather than just throw a tantrum.
Simone nodded at Bianchi's smile.
“Please take good care of me, Bianchi.”
"Of course!"
Bianchi waved to his companions. They headed towards the dungeon, seeing him off.
'Those guys are great.'
Bianchi thought.
No matter how strong they are, it wouldn't be easy to step into a place that gives off unpleasant vibes without hesitation.
Moreover, even though he has great power, he can move without hesitation even towards Simone, a young girl, and Jace, who appears weaker than him.
...Anyway, he hopes nothing bad happens.
Bianchi forced a smile and lowered his waving hand.
The group slowly began to disappear into the black fog within the dungeon.
Simone and Abel were in the lead, followed by Jace and Geneon, and lastly...
“...?”
Bianchi opened his eyes wide.
“Just now... uh...”
If I'm not mistaken...
I just think Orlan got eaten by something.
'So this is a dungeon.'
Simone looked around.
To be honest, before she came in, she was really scared of the black mana flowing out, but when she actually came in, it wasn't as bad as she thought.
How should I express this?
She felt like she was trapped in a dark, narrow cave, which was quite unpleasant.
The cave is very large and I could turn around and escape right now, so why do I feel this way?
Simone guessed it was because of the special circumstances of being in a dungeon.
“Simone, you’re walking without hesitation? What if there’s a monster right in front of you?”
Abel spoke in a disgruntled tone and stepped forward ahead of Simone.
Louis agreed with his words and approached the two of them.
“That’s right. Please walk a little slower. Everyone knows that Lady Simone is strong, but this is your first time in a dungeon. It’s more dangerous than you think.”
Simone snickered and laughed at them.
“Abel, don’t be loud, don’t be arrogant, and go back. If it’s Anasis’ dungeon, it’s safer for me to take the lead.”
Simone suddenly pointed to her feet.
As Louis swung down the light ball she had received from Orkan, black mana streams shot out from under Simone's feet and stretched out into the dungeon.
“Hey.”
Abel flinched and stepped back behind Simone, avoiding the stem.
This is indeed her first time in a dungeon, but she knows enough about its dangers through the book.
So, as they were walking along, sensing if there was something ahead, it was rather a nuisance that someone other than Simone was taking the lead.
At that moment, Geneon, who was in Simone's arms, trembled and spoke.
“Simone, you must be careful and not be overconfident. There is nothing visible on the outside, but I can feel the faint energy of a magic circle. It seems like a large amount of teleportation magic is being activated somewhere nearby.”
“Teleport magic?”
“Yes, if you let your guard down, you could be teleported to another location in an instant. If it’s a teleportation spell created in Anasis’ dungeon, it would be dangerous no matter where you’re teleported to.”
Yes, stop for a moment.
Simone stopped walking and looked back at Orkan.
“What do you think, Orkan? If Orkan can release the teleportation, it would be better to release it and go.”
Orkan smiled at her words.
“Well, I’m not sure yet. Let’s go a little further. I’ll let you know if it’s dangerous.”
At that moment, Abel's expression hardened subtly after hearing Orkan's words.
Something was seriously wrong. Everyone in Simone's group thought the same thing.
The world stopped.
