Chapter 196 – 196. Rules of the Nightmare Battle
“hmm?”
Looking up close, the woman in front of me seemed a little younger than I thought, but she was clearly a dark spirit. Starting with her reaction when I called her name, her outfit was identical.
The dark spirit in front of me had short hair that reached down to her shoulders, and she looked young through the translucent cloth.
“Do you know me?”
Moreover, the way he dealt with it was also quite sharp. His tone was much colder than when he first met the dark spirit.
Even the tone of speech is raw and not respectful.
A belligerent pressure was radiating from her, threatening to immediately clean up anything that was even the slightest bit bothersome.
It seemed like I could understand why the woman who had been sewing her hand earlier ran away at the sound of the dark spirit’s footsteps.
“Yes, I know.”
“Hmm?”
Considering that he is still alive, his current appearance is probably that of a former dark spirit. I’m not sure if the timeline connection is messed up, or if Learic is up to something else.
Anyway, I could tell that a demon named Learic was running the mansion in a fairly vicious way.
“I’m asking just in case since we are both necromancers. Do you know it’s Lemegeton?”
“… … .”
“Would it be faster if I asked if it was a spirit stone?”
is it.
In the past, the dark spirits came here to find Lemegeton.
Although I felt like I knew the flow itself, I could even sense the ending of the woman in front of me.
‘I failed.’
The dark spirit ultimately fails and is expelled from the dream battle.
Before I entered the general store, the dark spirit answered that he did not know much about the Great Devil.
Also, during the battle with Magan, he reacted to hearing for the first time about the relationship between the great evil Learic and Lemegeton.
I slowly turn around and check one of the rules of the dream battle once again.
-5. You can stay at Mongmajeon for a total of five days, and if it goes longer than that, you will be forced to leave.
-8. If you are kicked out of the Demon Demon Battle after five days, you will lose all memories of what happened here.
‘If that rule is correct, the dark spirit with me has probably lost his memory.’
As the five days passed, it is assumed that he may have lost his memory.
“hey?”
A dark spirit calling me.
When I slowly turned my head, she was crossing her arms, showing her displeasure.
“If you ignore me one more time, I’ll think you can’t speak and I’ll cut out your tongue.”
“… … .”
I don’t know how young the dark spirit is, but he is quite extreme.
I looked at her silently and shook my head.
“I do not know.”
Actually, I was a little worried.
If I told her our story, would her future change?
If it changes, how will it change and if that happens, will I be able to survive?
There was a need to be careful with what one said in many ways.
Anyway, even though she was a bit ticky, she was the teacher who taught me necromancy.
But what if.
Really what if.
‘If I tell you not to come to the academy.’
Even if the dark spirit met Gideon while alive, he would not come to Lovern Academy.
What if I never met the girl who was an angel?
So can the dark spirit still be alive?
I had many concerns.
Starting with my belief in distinguishing between the dead and the living, to my personal regret toward the dark spirits.
It seemed difficult to give an answer right away.
“Well, it won’t be that easy. But kingdom citizens?”
“okay.”
She tilts her head in response to my answer, looks around, and then shrugs.
“that’s interesting. “I thought all the necromancers in the kingdom would hide themselves like me, but they are so confident.”
“… … .”
“Besides, you’re a noble, right? “Because of you alone, the entire family could be put on death row.”
If here.
What changes will happen if I release information about the future?
Can she accept that?
‘Maybe there will be special sanctions from the mansion.’
When looking at the rules of the Dream Demon Battle, there seem to be quite a few things that are not yet known, and among them there may be stories about each timeline.
Although it is a little dangerous.
I needed to try it out.
“I am a necromancer approved by the king.”
“… … what?”
“He was called a memorial priest and was allowed to work as a warlock in the kingdom.”
“You came from the future?”
While listening to those words, I quietly look around. I wondered if something might happen.

“don’t worry. “There are many people here from the future and from the past.”
“… … .”
“The mansion doesn’t really care if I tell you anything in particular. By the way, I never thought the day would come when Griffin would accept a warlock. How far into the future is it?”
So sloppy?
As many possibilities were erased within me, I continued to talk to the dark spirit.
“From what I saw earlier, I think I know too. “How am I doing?”
“… … .”
“Does coming out of the lab mean I was successful?”
The dark spirit asked me with a slightly excited face. Through the translucent fabric, she felt her overwhelming emotions.
“I do not know.”
“hmm?”
“I’ve only heard stories about you, but I don’t know your personal details.”
“Ha, really?”
Although he is disappointed, the dark spirit easily accepts it, saying it is not that strange.
Then he gestured and made a suggestion.
“Well, it seems like you know a lot of information that I don’t know. “It looks useful, so I’ll give you a special tour of the mansion.”
“okay.”
First of all, it seemed necessary to go with the dark spirit and learn more about this place.
Instead of going to the left hallway where the woman with her hand stitched had run away, I headed to the opposite right hallway, and at the end of it was a door leading to a restaurant.
Gorgeous tableware and sumptuous food suitable for a mansion.
“If you’re hungry, just eat.”
“Let’s listen to the explanation first.”
Just in case, avoid touching the food if possible. The dark spirit sits down, pouring coffee that was already boiled in a silver drip pot into a cup.
“Well, everyone called here has the same job. “All we have to do is find the rules that the nightmare game lost.”
“Rule number 9.”
-9. There are rules for the nightmare battle written all over the mansion. If you find it, there is a prize.
The dark spirit nodded at the rule that immediately came to mind with a calm smile.
“that’s right. If you find the rules, you can win prizes. “The biggest prize is escaping from here.”
“escape… … “I know that in five days, you’ll be kicked out anyway.”
The dark spirit sipped his coffee and responded to my answer.
“You lose all your memories. In short, you will lose everything you gained here.”
Sweet.
As she puts down her coffee cup and crosses her legs, her eyes are piercingly focused on me.
“You can think of it as some kind of dungeon. “You can get a lot of treasure, but if you can’t escape, it’s all lost.”
Sigh.
A dark spirit took something out of his arms. It was a note written on quite luxurious purple paper.
“Rules are written in different ways. “Some of it is written in the form of a note like this.”
The dark spirit’s fingertip, which placed the note on the table, now points to the unlit fireplace on one side of the restaurant.
The mana that flowed through my fingers lit a fire there.
Soon the flames from the fireplace spread into the air and formed letters.
-21. Meals are replenished daily. Please feel free to eat as much as you want.
The 21st rule of the dream battle disappears as it is.
“You can find out in this unique way.”
“hmm.”
“I don’t know how many there are, but if you find the last rule, you can escape the nightmare.”
When this happens, one question arises.
“What did you get by figuring out these rules?”
Isn’t he a dark spirit who has already figured out two rules? He wondered if he had gotten such a great reward that he wanted to escape.
The dark spirit rested his chin with an alluring smile and answered teasingly.
“I don’t trust you that much yet. Especially since all necromancers are shady except me. “You haven’t forgotten rule number 6, have you?”
-6. Fighting inside the Mongmajeon is not recommended.
This meant that it would not be recommended, but would not be separately sanctioned or discouraged.
Are you keeping your mouth shut because someone else might attack and steal the rewards you earned by finding the rules?
He was wise, unlike any dark spirit I know.
“Well, for now, I’ve roughly told you everything I know. “Do you have any more questions?”
The dark spirit asks, pouring coffee into the coffee cup again. He seemed to want to stop talking now, so I thought about it for a while and said something that seemed necessary to confirm.
“How did you get here?”
I ended up here through the general store, but I’m not sure if Learic has a general store in her time zone.
I wondered if I had met Learic separately.
“It’s a shame.”
The dark spirit says he knew you would ask that and gestures with his chin to the note he had just placed on the table.
I unfolded it with subtle doubts.
-13. You must not explain to other guests how you came to Mongmajeon.
“after.”
I thought there were so many rules. The dark spirit looked somewhere else, as if he didn’t want to talk anymore.
He seemed to be thinking deeply about something as he stared into space, so I tried to quietly leave.
Finally, before closing the restaurant, I asked her one more personal question.
“How old are you now?”
I don’t know the age of the dark spirit, but I believe he is around the same age as me.
“18 years old.”
no wonder.
I understood why she was so belligerent and flippant in her language.
I thought that the current dark spirit history would be like a time of dark history.
‘First, I have to go to room 110, which is my room.’
I put aside my thoughts about the dark spirit temple for a moment and close the restaurant.
Couldn’t there be some other information there?
I didn’t really want to be swayed by this mansion, which was like Learic’s playground, but it seemed better to be careful for now.
‘I can’t predict what will happen.’
It felt like I was walking through a minefield. I wonder if, without my knowledge, I might be harmed by disturbing the evil in this mansion.
Head back toward the entrance and head toward the left hallway where the woman who had her hand sewn earlier ran into.
There were signs for rooms starting from room 101, with room 110 being the last.
There was nothing special inside room 110. There is only basic furniture such as a bed and a table.
Of course, they were all high-end items, but there was nothing that seemed special about them.
However, just one thing.
There was just a purple letter lying on the bed.
It was a letter containing the rules for the dream battle that the dark spirit showed me just now.
Despite feeling uncomfortable again, I slowly reached out and opened it.
-20. Even if you don’t know the rules of Dream Demon Battle, the rules apply.
It was a phrase that seemed obvious, but in this situation, it couldn’t help but be creepy.
As I just said, it was a walk through a kind of minefield.
Because hidden rules can be broken without even realizing it.
It was a place where coercive violence was applied, claiming that ignorance was wrong.
‘Are they originally giving one rule for each room?’
So that means each guest knows at least one rule.
At that moment, the space in front of my eyes begins to tremble and something pops out.
They said there was a reward if you found the rule, so I thought maybe that was it.
What seemed to fall into my hand was a familiar yet foreign object.
“This.”
It has already been broken, and can actually be seen as a trace of the devil’s wicked mischief.
black gem.
It was Lemegeton, called the stone of death.
