After a while of breaking through walls, a large space opens up in front of me.
This is the hidden room that leads to the dungeons lowest layer.
Sashas face had an expression of surprise on it when she saw it.
After breaking those walls a room appeared
It was created using magic and was surprisingly easy. I only left the barest traces of magic to follow. A simple hidden passage that doesnt use magic. Its a blind spot for many people.
The only drawback to it is every time I come here I have to use Construction Creation <Ibis> and repair the hole I make.
But the dungeon beneath Deruzogedo is closed to the public. Only students may enter. When did you find this hidden passage?
What if I said I made it?
Sasha is dissatisfied and pouts.
Avoiding it. If you dont want to say, thats fine.
Its a fact though. Oh well, I cant make her believe me.
Should we go? This room leads to the lowest layer.
A few minutes after we start walking we arrive at an especially bright room.
The ceiling is very high and though we are in a dungeon its overflowing with trees.
Theres a waterway running through the room causing the light to glitter and reflect off its surface.
.Sunlight. Misha mutters.
Yeah. Sunlight during daytime and moonlight at night. Its made to draw in the outside light.
Is it.for the activation of nature magic?
Fusion magic which is the secret art of the Necron family uses nature magic. Sasha and Misha who both specialise in it immediately noticed that this room is a catalyst.
However, its a little different from 2000 years ago.
The position of the sunlight is different. Has somebody adjusted it using magic?
It wasnt only me that used this dungeon, my subordinates did too so people would have been in here. Maybe one of them did it?
Suddenly, I look up at the ceiling but theres nothing there.
.Whats wrong..?
No, its nothing. Must have been my imagination.
We lave the nature magic room and carry on.
On the way down a long flight of stairs, Sasha speaks to me.
Nee, If Arnos has come here before then cant you use Transfer <Gatom>?
This entire dungeon has an anti-magic spell woven into it to prevent Transfer <Gatom> working correctly. You could use it but youd have no idea where youd end up.
Its easy to cancel the anti-magic but the dungeon has a system in place that would collapse it if you did.
It would have been easy to leave myself a loophole so only I could use <Gatom> in the dungeon, however, by setting it up so there were no exceptions it also made it the best way to stop intruders.
Weve been walking for 2 hours now. How much further is it?
..Look..
Misha points ahead where the bottom of the stairs could be seen.
Fumu. Weve reached the bottom.
Really?
Sasha runs ahead down the stairs but stops and stares at something in utter amazement.
Me and Misha catch up to her.
There was a pair of huge, luxurious gates that even a giant could fit through.
Its the gate to the altar room.
Misha looks at the gates with her demon eyes.
.Anti-magic
Aah. To stop people trying to break in using magic.
Misha stares even further into the magic abyss.
..Even Flame Prison Annihilation Canon <Geo Greys> could not destroy it.
Haaaa!? Then how do we get in?
Yare yare. They still dont understand whos here with them.
Use your head a bit. If you intend to break it then you will fail. If magic doesnt work then open it without using magic.
I calmly step forward and place my hand on the gate. Using my strength I push and with a heavy, grating noise the gate opens.
It opened. Misha grumbled while having a dumbfounded look on her face.
I thought this before when you lifted my demon king castle but whats going on with your body.? How can you open such a stupidly large door?
Sasha pushes on the door but of course, it doesnt move.
I cant say this out loud but she looks really cute trying to move it.
I train every day.
In what dimension would training allow you to do this?
Sasha starts muttering to herself.
Does he come from a lineage with strong people in it?
More importantly, the thing you are after is over there.
At the back of the room is an altar with an ominous looking staff on it.
Is thatthe Kings Scepter..?
If you look at it with your demon eyes you would tell straight away that it was loaded with great magic.
Its completely different from the blunt demon sword that Zepes had. Its a genuine item from the age of myths.
A perfect score in the dungeon test is certain with this.
I had wondered if somebody had removed it but Im happy that its still here.
Nee.can I touch it?
Anything obtained in the dungeon is the possession of the group leader and a genuine tool from the age of myths is something rarely seen. Obviously, someone like Sasha with strong demon eyes would be interested.
Go ahead.
Thank you.
Happily running to the altar Sasha picked up the kings sceptre and stared in fascination at the mysterious magic tool.
Fumu. Its fine I guess. Shell be in a daze for a while now.
Misha, over here.
I call Misha over to a door by the side of the altar.
What?
This is the treasury.
I step into the room. At first glance its empty but when I speak a few words the magic veil is lifted and magic tools such as demon swords and magic armour start to appear one by one.
I collected all this during the age of myths.
