Episode 521 Lotus Rain

Waiting for the alarm magic signal for dozens of minutes.

It was worth taking a moment to look away, but Ray didn’t know how to move from his seat.

Sweat was pouring down my forehead as I continued to concentrate with my whole body on edge.

It feels like I’ve been waiting for an eternity of time.

However, I couldn’t be careless.

If the timing was off, the part of the dungeon where the flow of mana was concentrated to one side could have collapsed.

Holding a branch in his hand and aiming at a stone didn’t look very out of place, but there were countless techniques of swords.

‘If only I break this properly.’

Most of the dungeon’s functionality will be lost.

If that happens, the outside will also become somewhat more comfortable.

Ray calmed down.

only once.

A single blow can end everything.

And finally.

The alarm magic sent a signal.

Beep-!

Ray’s sword extended straight out at the sharp noise that he must have heard tens of thousands of times.

Swoop-!

The point where mana in the dungeon was circulating in his blow, which seemed to fly through space, could not last even for a moment and was split in two.

That moment.

Light emanated from a small gap in the branch.

Whoaaah-!

By the time I realized that the white light was extending right in front of my eyes, my mind was already half blown away.

Time passes slowly and space changes.

Even before, the dark gray walls and bookshelves of the study were tangled up in a mess, but even that slowly disappeared as if it were melting.

When he came to his senses, there was no study, only a white room and a woman, Sunbok.

Does this happen when the supply of mana is cut off in a dungeon?

“…Mien.”

The woman responded to the sound calling her.

She smiled shyly and scratched her cheek.

– Whoops. Looking at things like this, it seems like I’ve been used up.

There was an indescribable feeling in that one word.

It is used up.

Having said that, she wasn’t too surprised.

It must have been that the Black Room had been thinking about this ending ever since they made Mien into a saint.

– Are you done?

“Perhaps.”

– I see.

I didn’t like her humble attitude.

will split

It is not strange to be angry at the fact that it has become a mere material for the black room until the last moment.

But why is he making such a refreshing expression?

Mien smiled as if she felt that way from Ray.

– Don’t make that face. It was destined to be captured by the black room anyway. Looking back, it was a life without anything to be proud of, but I am satisfied in my own way.

one word.

In it, a field appeared on a white background.

– It’s much more comfortable than being locked up.

two words.

The wind comes up and caresses your hair.

– I really wanted to visit the Lessian Empire. There is a famous jeweler there. I should have made at least one bracelet.

three words.

The scent of flowers resembling her was scattered in a dizzying manner.

A swing comes into view between the trees along with a small lake.

Each time the mana disappeared, the surrounding scenery gradually became more beautiful.

As much as Minen couldn’t.

The blinding sunlight hit her.

The mana I felt was weak.

Maybe there isn’t much time left.

In fact, if she put her mind to it, this dungeon would have completely collapsed.

Although she said she destroyed the branch, the reason the dungeon was maintained was purely thanks to her will.

If he had squeezed out all the remaining mana, it wouldn’t have been difficult to do that much.

Hana Mien did not.

Even though I would have wanted to destroy everything with resentment and sadness.

Thinking of the people trapped inside the dungeon, I let go of my emotions.

Mien, who was sitting in the field and looking at the lake, held out her hand.

It started raining from the clear sky.

– We have to go now.

Laughing at the falling rain under the sunlight.

Just like Iriel disappeared.

Little by little, her body faded and became wet with the rain.

Raindrops fall on a lotus flower on the lake.

Soonbok, who had been silently looking at Mien, opened his mouth.

– You were a very good human being among the human beings I’ve ever seen.

It’s the first compliment you hear.

Mian smiled.

– Whoop whoop. What is it all of a sudden?

– But I hate humans like you. A human being whose feelings do not come first. A human being whose body is not a priority. Well, it might be quite popular with the spirits.

Soonbok, who was about to say more, finally turned his back.

– Bye bye. That’s all I can say.

At that, Mian’s head was slightly lowered.

– This is the last time the three of us are together like this. It’s just that I’ve been held captive by that wicked saint… Yeah. Obviously I had fun.

Tears fall.

– …Actually, I don’t want to break up.

The weight of her heart also increased with each tear that fell from her eyes.

Like rainwater pooling on a lotus flower.

Myen’s tears were graceful and clear.

Her form blends into the rainwater and disappears.

As she, the mother of the dungeon, disappeared, the surrounding landscape gradually disappeared.

The beautiful sky is blocked by a gray wall.

The fields that stretched beyond the horizon became the bookshelves of the library.

A single lotus flower floating on the lake became a window frame through which sunlight streamed in.

Little Myen, who was staring at him sharply, was also gone.

“Is it over?”

I looked around, but Mien was nowhere to be seen.

Ray tried to spread mana.

Judging from the fact that I couldn’t feel anything except the mana inside the dungeon, it seemed that the effect of the dungeon had run out.

thanks to her disappearance.

The dungeon has lost its function.

thanks to which her life is over.

The outside of the dungeon would have been saved.

Does Minen know?

That she had done a nobler act than any other saint.

* * *

Soon after, Soonbok opened the door to the study and came in.

– Ugh. I feel strange. It’s just that the noisy human woman has disappeared… It’s kind of frustrating.

“so do i.”

I didn’t know when he was there, but when I thought Mien had completely disappeared, it overlapped with Iriel’s time.

Ray tried to clear his thoughts and packed his things.

– Are you thinking of leaving the dungeon like this?

“I’ve been here for over a year and a half. It’s full of monsters and it’s so cramped and dirty that there’s no place to sleep. The military isn’t even this harsh.”

– army……?

“There is such a thing. Rather than that, call some goblins. It’ll be difficult if you don’t leave soon.”

At that, Soonbok swallowed the wind, saying “Huh”.

– Are you worried about the outside?

“By now, the mana that was tied up in the dungeon should have returned to the outside of the dungeon. It’s fortunate that there is no war. Maybe the greedy kingdom will rush to the small country aiming for supremacy.”

– Tsk tsk. It’s hard work even for a saint.

it must be hard

It is because Gaia is in a position to clean up the cheap shit.

* * *

The soldiers and mercenaries of Celia Kingdom, who were fighting hard against a group of monsters, were surprised when their bodies suddenly overflowed with power.

“This is…”

“Ma Mana is back!”

Power returned to his clumsy grip, which lacked the strength to hold the sword.

Quickly turning mana into the whole body and kicking the ground, the monsters couldn’t even react to their movements.

A different movement than before.

Red lines were drawn on the necks of the monsters who were not paying attention.

Slow-!

It was an instant for the tide to turn.

The monsters, which were predators just in front of their delicious prey, became minced meat by the hands of knights and mercenaries.

“I can do it with this!”

“Hahahaha! lived!”

The mood of the mercenaries also improved.

He walks through the dungeon where he couldn’t even move freely because of the monsters.

It felt like a chill ran down my spine from the endless freedom that I could not even know the end of.

“Let’s head to the deepest part!”

“Follow me! Reserve your strength just in case!”

As the knights commanded the soldiers to clear the road, the mercenaries followed closely behind and defeated the monsters.

Then, as if the sea parted, a path opened between the monsters.

A path was opened for them, who were at a loss as they could not go down one floor.

* * *

Hwaaaah-!

Due to the strong wind that spread from the dungeon, the tents of the merchants who were doing business around were blown away.

“What kind of wind is this all of a sudden?!”

“Aagh! The fruit is flying!”

A situation like a storm.

However, within it, adventurers and numerous soldiers did not pay attention to the wind.

“Do manada!”

“Captain! Mana is back!”

“Look! How much is this mana orb? I will give you one of my silver coins, so sell them to me!”

When Mana returned, the outside was very chaotic.

There are knights who hurriedly buy mana crystals from merchants and try to contact their home country, and there are those who head to the dungeon without buying equipment.

There were also adventurers going back to their hometown to avenge the bandits.

Merchants are also preparing to leave after closing their business.

From the moment Mana returned, he must have smelled money.

When everyone wants to leave the area around the Magic Field.

The knight commander with a large number of soldiers called passers-by to stop them.

“Everyone, listen to me for a moment.”

Of course, those who went their own way ignored him, but those who became interested cast their eyes on the knight commander.

After succeeding in attracting the attention of about half the people, the knight commander showed a tile from his bosom.

“This is a plaque that proves that you have been ordered by the royal family of Celia. We plan to go into the Magic Realm and investigate. If there are people heading to the Demon Realm, I would like them to come under the command of this Order of Knights.”

A word aimed at mercenaries or adventurers.

When their lives are at stake, it is common for them to join a large group and head out.

The knight commander also assumed that they would not ignore such an offer.

It was an honor to come under the command of the Knights.

With Mana back, the Knights of the present day could truly claim the glory of the past.

There was one thing he overlooked.

“To be under the command of the Knights.”

“We’ll try to break through the Devil’s Nest by ourselves. Thank you for the suggestion, but I’m sorry.”

The adventurers and mercenaries rejected the knight’s invitation with a single stroke.

It is good to be under the command of the knights.

If you follow their systematized tactics and movements, you will be able to investigate the Demonic Realm without much damage.

However, if that happened, they would have to share the achievements made in the Devil’s Nest.

Adventurers and mercenaries are the ones who live on one meal.

As Mana returned, there was such a delicious food in front of my eyes, how could I not bite it.

In the end, the Knight Commander was just recommending useless things.

However, it is not possible to conscript them by force.

“They are arrogant. You don’t know what lurks inside the Demonic Realm.”

He said so, but the leader, who had planned to easily overcome the demonic world and monopolize the ball, had a bitter taste.

The recovery of mana after mana disappearance is a big event.

In addition to that, if you can reach the demonic realm, its value will increase even more.

The captain of the knights was a little disappointed, but he didn’t stop them anyway, thinking that if the knights had returned mana, they would be able to destroy it easily with only the Devil’s Landing.

at last.

The adventurers, mercenaries, merchants, and knights gathered around the Devil’s Edge moved differently.
