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

　The moment the nightmare was attacked.

　Dark, who had already escaped some distance, suddenly stopped. His brow furrowed, he pulled the [Dream Demon] spell card from his sleeve.

　draw out.

　As magic was infused, some basic information flowed back.

　"My magic is almost gone."

　"We've been attacked."

　"【Shared Fate】 has been triggered."

　Just moments later.

　The lines of [Dream Demon] quietly appeared on the originally blank card surface.

　However, the Misdreavus that reappeared on the card had lost its color.

　This is how the magical spirit behaves after it dies.

　To restore its color, meticulous magic replenishment is required.

　It will take more time to summon it again.

　Dark drew a magic-replenishing circle with his fingertips, steadily and calmly infusing magic power.

　The attack on the dream demon was somewhat expected.

　However, its instantaneous defeat was unexpected.

　The triggering of the "Shared Fate" is perfectly reasonable.

　Instead of panicking, he was extremely curious about which unlucky soul would trigger the "shared fate"—"Would it be one of the tentacle creatures?"

　Thinking this, Dark glanced toward the abyss.

　Whoever the unlucky guy was, it's none of his business anymore.

　Once we leave this hidden space, today's experience will only become a picture in a picture book.

　But suddenly, the surroundings began to shake violently.

　He quickly grabbed the wall for support.

　Dilu and the demon immediately became more vigilant.

　Then soon after.

　The entire passage then collapsed.

　Devimon suddenly spread its wings, attempting to use its body as a protective shield for its master.

　However, the collapsed bricks passed right through the object upon contact with it.

　The Devimon looked up in astonishment, then instinctively extended its massive, sharp demonic claw and poked at the falling brick.

　stamp.

　The finger naturally passed through.

　"So old, yet still so innocent."

　Tailmon seized the opportunity to grab Darkmon's arm, completely disregarding Devimon's childish behavior.

　Dark felt a warmth in his heart because of Devimon's initiative to act as a protector.

　A glint of light flickered in his eyes as he silently watched the entire passageway collapse.

　It was as if they were gazing at the end of the world.

　The collapse of the passage quickly spread to the area where Diana and Rose were.

　After summoning magical spirits to defend themselves, the two realized that the bricks posed no threat at all.

　So they stopped and watched curiously.

　The three people in the other passage, including Victor, ultimately did not court death again.

　They rested for a while at their stop, and then the passage collapsed.

　Amidst the complex and turbulent emotions of the three individuals.

　The collapse of the passage lasted for a full three minutes.

　Then all the buildings in sight turned into tiny specks of light.

　With a slight reach, you can feel the light points flowing from your palm.

　It is clearly a sad story of the loss of an object, yet it is imbued with a dreamlike beauty.

　Dark Deemon leaned back against Devimon's body.

　After grabbing his arm, Dilu never let go.

　Time may pass, but it gives people a sense of eternity.

　The idea came to mind involuntarily.

　If we could stay in this moment forever, that wouldn't be so bad.

　But everything will eventually pass away.

　The complete disappearance of the hidden space has revealed the true nature of this area, which is only on the second level of the underground city.

　The walls, weathered and desolate by time.

　Vines growing in the cracks of the wall.

　Glowing moss covering the ceiling.

　Weeds in corners and cracks.

　The difference is so obvious.

　But they didn't realize it until the hidden space disappeared.

　"What should we do next?"

　Dark continued to infuse magic, sensing the [Dream Demon] gradually awakening, and began to have some ideas.

　"Gitomon, go and bring Diana and Rose back."

　The master's orders must be obeyed.

　Gatomon reluctantly let go and then sped off towards Diana and Rose.

　It leaps and bounds through the passageways, without slowing down when turning.

　Not long after, they encountered Diana and Rose, who were also on their way.

　The three of them soon reunited.

　When Diana asked with a cute expression what had happened...

　Dark had also learned some information from the Dream Demon.

　He carefully chose his words, saying, "Perhaps the true form of the demon hidden at the bottom of the abyss suffered a backlash, and its existence was due to it."

　The hidden space completely collapsed. I'm now preparing to head towards the abyss using the previous route. What are your thoughts?

　"What does 'backlash' mean?" Rose asked curiously.

　Dark briefly explained: "A kind of ultimate skill that can cause the same damage to others, I didn't expect it to be useful against monsters of that level."

　Rose lowered her head, lost in thought.

　Diana thought for a moment, then exclaimed excitedly, "I get it! We're going to collect treasure, right?"

　Dark smiled and nodded: "Yes, go see if the monster left anything behind when it was on its death throes. If..."

　Even the slightest leak would be a pleasant surprise for us.

　After saying that, the three of them began to grope their way forward in the direction where the abyss had originally been.

　Returning to the second level of the dungeon, the appearance of monsters became inevitable.

　But no monster could withstand Gatomon's cat-like punches.

　They quickly harvested the monster's materials and soon arrived at the original location of the abyss.

　But some people arrived even earlier than them.

　After the hidden space collapsed, Witt, Robert, and Emma also chose to return to this place.

　The three emerged from another passage, and the location where the abyss had been had returned to an ordinary fork in the road.

　The passageways extending from all directions converge here, creating a fairly spacious area.

　This open space is naturally smaller than that abyss.

　However, the underground city is also a place where the main force can rest.

　They cautiously made their way back, like mice venturing into a house, relying on the magical spirits to guide them. Fortunately...

　Luckily, they didn't encounter any monsters and arrived here before Dark and the other two.

　"What is that?"

　Emma, ​​who was the first to peek out, couldn't help but whisper.

　Witt then poked his head out and saw a round stone in the open space.

　The stone was about half a person's height, with a crack running through its middle. A scarlet, blood-red light emanated from the crack, which was terrifying.

　【8000/16000 (supplement)】

　[Finish today's tasks first, then look at the results. In short, I'm guaranteed at least 4000; I can't afford to fall behind any more.]

　I have to admit, I'm utterly useless.

　[It's a new month, and monthly passes are still required.]

　[It seems like it's been half a year since I've seriously asked for recommendation votes, so I'll ask for them today.]

　Are razor blades sometimes given away for free?

　[The next update (4000 words) will be before dinner; I will try to do so as early as possible.]

　Witt's gaze fell on the stone, and he was gradually drawn to the crimson light emanating from its cracks.

　The blood-red light seemed to sense it as well, flickering slightly at a certain frequency.

　Under the glow of the blood, Witt's eyes widened, and a hint of crimson also appeared in his eyes.

　As the red light shone into his eyes, the expression on his face gradually froze.

　It was as if his soul had been drawn away, leaving his body and transcending his form—"Werther."

　Robert tapped Witt on the shoulder, and when he didn't respond, he tapped harder.

　"Witt!"

　"exist!

　Witt suddenly snapped back to his senses, his muscles tensed instantly, and the red light deep in his eyes faded away.

　But a strange, inexplicable light still flickered in the cracks of the round stone.

　Suddenly, Witt realized something and his expression changed drastically: "Don't stare at it, there's something strange in that bloody light!"

　Robert, who had just turned to look at the stone, quickly looked away and asked cautiously, "What's going on?"

　"He must be infatuated."

　Emma glanced up at them, then turned back to look at the stone.

　She was also looking at the stones, but she wasn't captivated.

　This led her to believe that it was because Witte's will was not strong enough that he was misled.

　In her impression, Witt was indeed a person with a weak will, after all, he didn't even have the will to persist in studying diligently.
