Azazel didn't pay much attention to what these young people were saying. He glanced at the bulletin board again, but there were no interesting quests for him to do.Azazel finally left the place."Wait..." Sania tried to stop Azazel, but it couldn't be done. Azazel had already walked too far away."You guys, now he's gone! How are we going to complete the dungeon exploration quest? Are you brave enough to face the monsters inside that cave?" Sania scolded.The three companions couldn't comment. Earlier, they had tried to complete a quest in a dungeon, searching for treasure and other magical items desired by the Guild.The rewards offered are quite large; they could live for more than 20 years if they could obtain the desired treasure."I know, but if we invite that guy, does he have the strength to help us? Of course, he doesn't have that kind of power!" Rollo retorted, feeling that Sania's attitude was too exaggerated."So, my idea was bad. Then, what kind of idea do you think is ri
The looming aura was something normal to be felt; right in front of them, a pair of shining eyes shone. Nilam and Bolt had also realized this, and Nilam quickly spread light to the surroundings.Sure enough, right before their eyes, a terrifying monster appeared. A high-level Undead was visible, and it was a Lich with quite troublesome strength.Even though not as powerful as an Undead Priest, the Lich had resistance against low-level attacks and the ability to recite magical spells.For those low-level adventurers, this was undoubtedly a significant problem. They had to be extremely cautious when facing such a monster.However, how could they possibly fight the Lich? Even moving felt very difficult.The intimidating aura from the Lich's body was gripping. For the weak, it would instantly fixate them to keep staring at it.And...The Lich exploited this to create an illusion, trapping anyone in a hallucination."Sania..." Rollo shouted.Sania was the one affected by this magic. Her ey
"Wait a minute, didn't you see that we faced high-level undead earlier? If we continue to explore this dungeon, we'll encounter even more serious problems!" Rollo stated firmly."So what? Haven't we already agreed that we should do this? We should be more serious about carrying out all of this, and we shouldn't just retreat like that!" Sania declared, her sharp eyes piercing.Unlike Sania, her three companions gave disappointed looks. It was a challenging decision for them, and if they continued, the answer was undoubtedly death.Just imagining what could happen was terrifying, and they would once again be within the dungeon environment."Don't you understand? We're not high-level adventurers; our abilities are far from normal! It's easy for you to say we can explore this place, but from the beginning, we should have rejected something like this..." Rollo's voice echoed in the dark corridor.Rollo had enough of holding back and trying to make Sania understand. Until now, he had always
Until the next day arrived, the three of them did not find Sania anywhere. Just asking around wouldn't provide answers, so they decided to inquire directly with the Guild attendant."Excuse me," Rollo greeted."Oh, the three of you! What do you want to ask?" The Guild maid offered a warm greeting that made them feel uneasy."I want to ask if Sania, one of our group members, has returned," Rollo asked hesitantly.The Guild maid seemed confused by what she saw; these three adventurers truly expressed doubt in their eyes."I haven't seen your friend. Hasn't she gone with you before?"And then came the difficult question.Rollo had to answer, "Well, she was supposed to go with us, but we got separated on the way! We haven't seen her since, and we thought she had already returned..."Even though this explanation was based on lies and excuses, Rollo expressed it with true concern."Hmm... I don't know what happened to her in that case! But, you all should hurry to find her. The dungeon expl
They had lost their spirits; how could they respond to this problem seriously when the facts might indeed be true, and there was no guarantee their comrade was still alive?"We should have stopped it earlier, but..." Rollo said, clenching his right hand tightly.Azazel truly began to understand how this situation could have occurred; based on his memory, this group had their own opinions.This reminded Azazel of how fragile the lives of weak creatures were, constantly doing what they considered a truth to eliminate fear, but in reality, it was all just a suggestion to keep their spirits up.It felt like helping them wouldn't bring any reward; on the contrary, it would only create even more complicated problems."Do the three of you really not want to save her as soon as possible?"They all looked at Azazel, disrupting the silence among them."Are you all just going to stand here? If you really care, then go and find out her current condition for yourselves!"Talking was easy; they all
Azazel's body had spread sensor energy to detect life within the dungeon. Apart from the three of them, Azazel found nothing, only a few creatures intentionally placed in that location."Wait, that..." exclaimed Nilam with a face followed by a trembling body.Her comrades also felt the same thing. What lay before their eyes was the sight of a terrifying monster, none other than a Lich."Danger. What will happen if we face this creature here..." muttered Rollo, who quickly drew his sword.Memories of their previous battle against this monster were very clear. The Lich's power was already difficult to defeat, and without Sania, it would be extremely hard.However, in the midst of the tension that kept them busy thinking, Azazel stepped forward without fear."Hey..." Rollo called out.The Lich quickly moved, attacking Azazel with its scythe made of special skeletal bones. A single strike would cause severe wounds with various effects, tormenting its opponent.As it was about to attack, t
"For a lowly creature like you, it's quite impressive to be able to destroy my barrier..."Bolt and Nolam didn't understand why Azazel said this so casually. It was clear the destruction of the barrier meant impending death.The sword of this white creature began to swing, and with deadly speed, it would erase all life in its path.Tings...However, it wouldn't be allowed to happen. Azazel's sword of void became a barrier against the attack. The creature was thrown back due to Azazel's much greater power.Their combined attacks created waves that scattered in every direction, causing rocks to fall inside the room."You two, quickly take your comrade to a safe place. Or do you have a means of protection against various attacks?" Azazel asked, turning to Bolt and Nilam.Spontaneously, Nilam nodded, "I do have a form of protection, but it's not very strong...""Don't worry about that, just go to your comrade! Here, you will only burden me. Hurry!"They moved like pets obeying their maste
Their orders were to bring those chosen as sacrifices for the summoning of Enyo, thinking about whether they would survive or not could be dealt with later; the most important thing now was to get those people out.Using hypnotic magic and teleportation, Azazel managed to get rid of people whom he thought would only burden his confrontation with Enyo.In a short time, Rollo and the others were outside the dungeon, Bolt and Nilam still trying to understand the current situation."W-Why are we here?" Bolt asked."I don't know, but my head is pounding..." She tried to remember what happened, but it was too difficult; only a few pieces of the previous events accidentally surfaced.Grrm...The rumbling in their current location was quite clear; they panicked and were confused about what was actually happening.Inside the dungeon, Azazel had unleashed a relentless attack with his creations, known as Shikigami.But it didn't last long; Enyo was able to cut through the creatures until Azazel
