Chapter 100

Luisha and the others shattered the large rock that attacked them and proceeded down the long corridor.

After walking for about 10 minutes, they finally saw the end of the corridor.

"Hey, we're finally leaving this gloomy corridor. It's really damp and unbearable."

Although the inside of the ruins was underground, it was slightly bright.

It seemed that the bricks inside the dungeon were faintly glowing, allowing them to move forward without a light.

"Well, I wonder what kind of interesting thing awaits us next..."

With an excited look, Luisha opened the thick stone door at the end of the corridor and entered.

Inside was an open room. It was spacious enough for all of them to move around freely, and the ceiling was high, at least 5 meters or so.

However, there was nothing else.

No doors, no objects.

"...This is a strange room. What does it mean that there are no traps? Could this be the endpoint? What do you think, Luisha?"

"Hmm. Since the seal wasn't broken, I don't think anyone got here before us."

While saying this, Luisha casually closed the room's door.

At that moment, there was a loud *clank* as the door locked.

"...Oh?"

Before Luisha could say, "Did I mess up?" the room's mechanism activated.

Suddenly, large spikes appeared on the ceiling, filling it, and the ceiling began to *thud* down.

If this continued, Luisha and the others would be crushed by the spikes and the ceiling in just a few minutes.

"「「「Aaaaaahhhh!!! I don't want to die!!!」」」

The three members of Jackal cried out in terror.

The trap of being crushed by the ceiling is not uncommon in dungeons.

However, the death rate when caught in this trap is 90%. It's almost impossible to escape.

That's why adventurers below the Silver rank are told to give up and write their wills if they get caught in this trap.

Knowing this, the members of Jackal were severely shaken and confused.

However, Luisha and the others remained calm.

"Shion, can you buy us some time?"

"Sure, leave it to me."

Shion, who was asked by Luisha, placed his hand on the floor and began to channel his magic.

"Clay Creation: Pillars!"

Shion created four thick pillars. These pillars extended rapidly and *bang* hit the ceiling, stopping its descent.

"This should hold for a few minutes. Please secure an escape route!"

"Then it's my turn!"

Kazaha extended her right hand, and many small insects with tiny wings emerged from it.

They looked like small flies. These flies began to fly near the floor and walls of the room.

The sight was so unsettling that the three members of Jackal involuntarily felt nauseous.

"Kazaha, what kind of insects are these?"

"These are called 'Army Flies.' Each one has high combat ability and intelligence. With these flies, hidden passages can be found quickly. However, they consume a lot of my magic power."

Kazaha was lending her magic power to the insects in exchange for their help.

This was due to her special contract, but that's a story for another time.

"Hey, they seem to have found something, Luisha."

The Army Flies had gathered on one corner of the wall.

It seemed they sensed something there.

"I can feel a slight breeze from that wall. It might be hollow behind it."

"I see, then we don't have much time. I'll take care of it."

Iris approached the wall with determined steps.

Her right hand was already charged with powerful magic, and the insects, sensing the danger, fled.

"Blood Piercing Spear!!"

A spear with a drill-like spiral tip was released from Iris's hand.

The spear easily destroyed the wall indicated by the insects.

And behind the hole, a hidden passage was revealed.

"Come, let's go, Luisha. Be careful, the floor is dirty."

"Okay, thanks, Iris."

In this way, Luisha and the others easily overcame the trap room.

Seeing this, the three members of Jackal felt their hopes dimming.

"To outsmart those guys... it's impossible, isn't it?"
