The villainous young master just wants to live a Buddhist-like life.

　And indeed, the backpack they shared was carried on Diana's back.

　Her backpack, stuffed with food and drinks, was probably at least twice as heavy as Dak's.

　But Diana carried it as if it were nothing.

　At this moment, one can't help but sigh, truly worthy of being called the bear of the kingdom.

　Diana glanced enviously at Dark's Gatomon, pouting, and said, "I wish I had that much magic power."

　Rose grabbed her hand and said with a grin, "Don't be envious, your magic is already quite strong. And, really..."

　You should envy Dark's familiar; my rabbit can only deliver a message at most.

　Diana muttered, "My panda can be used as a pillow."

　Dac has always attracted attention.

　When he arrives, the junior mages will more or less glance in his direction.

　Then my attention was drawn to the two magical sprites, one white and one black.

　After that, it was as if a box had been opened in everyone's mind, and they suddenly had a breakthrough!

　They cannot learn from Gatomon's existence.

　However, the existence of Impmon is something that can be completely imitated.

　So each student summoned their own familiar.

　Within the academy, school rules explicitly prohibit students from summoning familiars in the corridors (though this is often ignored), so...

　It's relatively rare to see someone like Dark who uses familiars so frequently.

　Now, as everyone summoned their familiars one after another, the remaining space between the crowd was instantly filled.

　This made the place even more lively.

　Dark observed his classmates' familiars with some amazement.

　While most familiars are small in size, there are always exceptions.

　The students' familiars are incredibly diverse and amazing.

　Suddenly his gaze shifted, and he saw that Witt and Robert had also summoned their respective familiars.

　Because it had been so long since they last met, he had almost forgotten what their familiars looked like.

　Viter's familiar is a Minotaur that is only knee-high. Although it looks small, it seems to possess considerable power.

　Perhaps because his own crafted magical spirit cards contained magical spirits like [Giant], [Two-Headed Ogre], and [Goblin Warrior], Witte's initial aversion to the Minotaur, a demonic species, gradually faded.

　Gradually, he was able to view his familiar with a calm and normal mindset.

　The problem is that this little minotaur is so short that when he carries his backpack, it drags on the ground.

　Robert's familiar, on the other hand, is a robot with a round head and round body, whose hands are multi-functional arms that can conjure various tools.

　The lower half features tracked wheels, which look very useful.

　The two hung their backpacks on the robot familiar, feeling completely relaxed.

　"Jingle Bell!"

　When the 10:00 bell rang, Professor Nini, who had already arrived, had representatives from each college confirm the number of students present, and then...

　Fen said, "From now on, you must listen to me carefully and not run around in the dungeon. By the way, branch representatives, come up and down. I've rented a batch of dungeon escape devices, and everyone should wear them on their wrists."

　"It seems Professor Nini hasn't forgotten about the dungeon escape device, but what the heck is 'rent'?"

　Dark was taken aback.

　"Could it be that this dungeon escape device has to be handed over after the adventure ends?"

　Seeing the obvious regret on Professor Nini's face, Dark felt it was true.

　These dungeon escape devices were very likely rented by Professor Nini using her own credits.

　As a professor, this is truly shameful.

　The temporary representative of the House of Nobles was a girl who often sat in the front row. With the help of several students, she quickly escaped the dungeon.

　The devices were distributed.

　After acquiring it, Dak studied it carefully.

　This dungeon escape device is shaped like a wristwatch and can be worn on the wrist.

　There's a cover on top of the watch-shaped part, the kind that can be opened with a little force.

　Moreover, the lid itself does not seem to be made of very hard material, and it can be broken relatively easily.

　Open the lid and you'll see a button inside; it's clearly a manual trigger.

　It can be triggered passively or actively.

　It can be triggered by magic or manually.

　This is a characteristic of dungeon escape devices.

　But I probably won't need it.

Chapter 337 Darkdemon and the Twelve Colossi (4k)

　After all the students had put on their dungeon escape devices, Professor Nini led them to the entrance of the dungeon.

　mouth.

　It was in the forest nearly a kilometer from the castle; it took about 15 minutes to walk there before you could see the Roman-style circular palace.

　Shaped building.

　The entire building has only two floors, but each floor is extremely tall.

　Stone pillars, each bearing the marks of history, are arranged at intervals of several meters on the outer perimeter of the first floor of the building.

　As you get closer, you can see lifelike monster carvings on the stone pillars, as if they might come to life at any moment.

　Although the students had all seen the building from afar, this was the first time they had actually come close.

　This building, which hides the entrance to the underground city, and the open-air duel arena are actually of the same architectural style.

　But the current building has a much more rugged style.

　Walk between the stone pillars and then into the spacious passage, walking straight ahead.

　After a few minutes, you will be able to enter the building and see a very spacious open-air plaza.

　But what first catches the eye is not the entrance to the underground city, but a huge stone statue standing in the middle of the square.

　"Professor, what is that?" Robert, who was walking in front, pointed to the nearest colossus and couldn't help but ask.

　The students behind them couldn't help but stop and look.

　Professor Nini, walking at the front with great interest, casually remarked, "—A colossus."

　Robert's face darkened immediately, and he complained, "Professor, I know that..."

　Professor Nini looked down at him, her face puzzled: "Then why are you asking me?"

　Robert:

　While he remained silent, Professor Nini skipped and hopped out of the passageway.

　She exclaimed excitedly, "We're here! Everyone can sit down and rest for a while, or look around, but don't wander off. We'll officially enter the underground city around 10:30."

　The students poured out of the passage like a school of fish.

　Dark, Diana, and Rose walked in the middle. They simply followed the flow of people into the square and found a stone bench to sit on.

　The little devil beast, which had been flying for almost half an hour carrying its lunchbox, quickly landed beside it, panting heavily from exhaustion.

　Dilu glanced at it with disdain, then looked around with curiosity.

　It has less experience than the junior mages, so its curiosity is even greater.

　The enormous stone statues standing in the square also drew its attention.

　Beside him, Dark's gaze passed through the stone statues, observing the so-called "underground city entrance" from afar.

　Before it was opened, the entrance to the underground city was just an arched doorway about twenty meters high.

　The gateposts have square cross-sections and are carved with incantation-like patterns on their surfaces.

　The gate is over ten meters wide.

　The gateposts are approximately five meters thick, with a groove recessed into the inner side.

　One can roughly imagine that once this gate is opened, magical power will be released from that ravine, forming...

　The Daoist magic gate.

　Between noon every Friday and midnight on Sunday.

　A large number of students would enter through the front of this magic door and exit through the back.

　So, the entrance to this underground city is just left wide open; who will guard it?

　Dark's gaze involuntarily turned to the enormous stone statues!

　"Second, there are twelve colossal statues in total."

　Each of these twelve colossal statues has a different appearance.

　Among them were soldiers wielding long spears, and monsters with lion heads and human bodies.

　The only common feature is that each stone statue is over ten meters tall, with the tallest even exceeding twenty meters, taller than the gatepost.

　Once they start moving

　Incredible!

　Dark's pupils contracted slightly as his gaze fell upon the colossal statue that had wings, held a scepter, and resembled an angel.

　In the doctrines of the Holy Church, angels have always appeared as asexual beings.

　On the surface, it was to promote the purity of angels.

　But this colossal statue, which looks exactly like an angel, has distinctly feminine features.

　If this were within a religious sect, it would be considered blatant heresy.

　"I wonder which era this building and those colossal statues originated from."

　Dak fell into deep thought.

　"Um"

　He only snapped out of his daze when Gatomon tugged at his sleeve.

　Time is up.

　All the students from the four colleges regrouped, and everyone was still quite excited.

　The dungeon is just around the corner, and my dream of my first adventure is about to come true.

　Professor Nini walked up to the archway and slapped the doorpost, using some kind of hand...

　Just as Dark had imagined, a tremendous magical power surged forth from that arched section.

　Soon, the magic released from the grooves of the gateposts formed a magic gate resembling a curtain of water.

　Professor Nini pointed to the magic door and explained, "This is the entrance to the dungeon. After entering from here, you will arrive at the main hall of the first floor of the dungeon. We usually call it the reception hall, which is the place where the dungeon welcomes guests."

　A female student from the magic academy asked nervously, "Professor, are there any monsters in the drawing room?"

　Professor Nini glanced at it and said, "I think I mentioned it before. Each level of the dungeon has a special [something] at its entrance."

　Magic marks, the magical energy fluctuations released from them have a repelling effect on monsters, so the entrance is generally...

　It will be relatively safer. Of course, expulsion is not a complete ban; the entrance cannot completely prevent monsters from entering. Therefore, caution is still the best course of action.

　The girl from the Magic Academy nodded quickly.

　Professor Nini raised her chin in satisfaction and said to the students, "I'll go in and check it out first. Please wait a moment."
