Episode 1098
The Ghost Palace consists of hundreds or thousands of rooms. It was so vast and spacious that there was a risk of getting lost if you entered without thinking.
“Take one of these!”
So, before entering the Ghost Palace, Tenerife handed out magic artifacts that
looked like compasses to Simon and Merida, one by one.
Simon checked and found that the compass needle was pointing in one direction. Even if I shook it lightly, the needle consistently pointed to the same place.
“It’s an item that contains my power as the Ghost Princess! “No matter which
room you enter, you can reach your destination as long as you move in the direction the needle points!”
She said proudly.
“Today is my first time, so I won’t go in depth. “This compass has also designated a location on the second floor.”
“I understand, princess.”
“Then shall we go to the first room?”
Simon looked flushed as he followed Tenerife.
The Ghost Palace is one of the top 10 mysteries on the continent.
Although you can’t go there even if you want to because of the strict security,
it is an unknown place that everyone in the Dark Alliance wants to experience
at least once.
Simon read a book written by people who visited this place, and while they all
agreed that the Ghost Palace was dangerous, they were all captivated by its mysterious charm. One author once said that his wish was to visit just once more
before he died. It is such a mysterious space.
Ta-bak-ta-bak.
Tenerife, Simone, and Merida walked a little further from the main hall of the
Ghost Palace and exited toward the hallway. At the end of the hallway there was nothing, and I saw a large bird-shaped statue engulfed in green magic.
“Now, before we go in, you know? Reset, reset.”
Tenerife pressed her index fingers to both temples of her head.
“You have to break away from all common sense, prejudice, and the laws of physics. “We don’t know which rooms are in the palace, and among them, there
are places that feel different from what we know.”
Simone and Merida followed Tenerife’s example by placing their index fingers
on their heads and closing their eyes. Tenerife, who was laughing because she
thought it was cute, walked away with the hem of her dress fluttering.
“If you want to reset your common sense, listen! The first thing to remember!
The order of the rooms keeps changing randomly! second! “There is no concept of doors in the Ghost Palace!”
She continued speaking as she stood in front of the statue.
“When you go to your room, you’re going to see a lot of things engulfed in green spirit like this, right? This is the key to the next room! We call it ‘Open Key’! “Once you use the open key, you can’t go back, so be careful!”
“yes!”
Simon answered energetically and checked the compass. The compass needle
was already pointing directly at that bird-shaped statue.
“It works just by touching it.”
When Tenerife touched the statue, her body disappeared as if being sucked into the statue. Simon and Merida also touched the statue with nervous faces.
“!!”
Suddenly, I felt the sensation of my body being sucked in, and the space around me changed.
Simon quickly looked around.
‘What is all this?’
If you look at the front, it’s clothes. If you look at the back, it’s clothes. This place looked like a room where clothes were stored.
Numerous clothes are hanging on metal hangers stretched out in a straight line. There were places where colorful dresses were gathered, and it was full of old-style clothing, including tuxedos, tunics, and blouses.
‘But this… … .’
I don’t know if I was a dwarf or if this room was a giant’s closet, but everything was huge. One piece of clothing is as big as the glass tower of the Pentamonium. It seemed like it would take quite some time to climb up the hanging hem of the pants and the top of the top. The pockets on the clothes were almost like deep caves.
“Well, I ended up in the dressing room.”
Maybe something was wrong, but Tenerife had an appetite.
“This is a pretty tight room.”
“is that so?”
“It’s not a suitable room for classes. “Let’s quickly pass by here and go to the
next room.”
The three people, who were small compared to the size of the objects, began
to run quickly over the metal hangers where the clothes were hanging. It was so wide that I couldn’t see the end even after running for a while.
If you look down, you will see that it is full of repair tools such as large sewing machines and spinning wheels.
“You have to jump here! “I’m going there in furry clothes!”
Tenerife, who said that, jumped up and skillfully climbed onto the fur coat. Simon and Merida also jumped on the pitch black and clung to the clothes.
“Follow me quietly. “I don’t know if the ghosts will notice.”
She was running, stepping on fur clothes, and jumped up onto the dress next to it. Simon and Merida quickly followed suit.
In this room, clothes were hung three stories high. It appeared to be a large clothing storage area, and Tenerife was moving upwards.
‘This is fun. But where is the ghost? … Wow!’
Clap!
Suddenly, a large iron rod came from behind, grabbed one of the clothes Simon and Merida were sitting on, and dragged them down.
“run!”
Simon and Merida quickly jumped off.
“It’s Mary!”
Simon held on to nearby clothes with one hand and stretched out his other hand. Merida barely stretched out her arms and held on to Simon’s hand, clinging

to her languidly.
‘What was that just now?’
Simon quickly turned around and saw something green in the shape of a person with arms and legs, holding clothes and stomping away. It literally had a human-like ‘shape’, but was not a person.
“are you okay? Are you okay?”
Tenerife asked, waving his hand. She laughed as Simon gestured with her chin to the person walking away.
“don’t mind! That thing is just called a ‘shape’. The Ghost Palace reproduces the sight of the palace before it was converted into a dungeon. People also need to recreate the Ghost Palace, but humans cannot, so they only end up as moving figures like that! “Just think of it as a moving decoration!”
“Ah, thank you for the explanation.”
Simon now pulled Merida up with force.
However, Merida put her face against the clothes, and eventually started rubbing her cheek as if savoring the texture of the fabric.
“… … “It’s soft.”
“what are you doing? “It’s Merida.”
“It feels good. “I want to make it into a blanket and take it with me.”
While she was burying her face in her clothes, another face popped out through the fabric right next to her.
It was something round and blurry with two eyes.
The two remained silent for a moment, making eye contact.
-Kyaaaaa!
Then it screamed first and raised its massive body from the fibers. Simon hurriedly grabbed Merida’s back with ‘Cloud’ and pulled her to dodge the attack.
“It’s a ghost!”
Suddenly, suddenly, suddenly!
From that point on, ghosts began to arise all over the clothes where Simon and Merida were. It seems like a lot of them have already gathered around here.
Ghosts continued to arise not only in the places where the two people were, but also in other clothes.
“bothered.”
Merida stood up, rubbing her eyes.
Simon, who was hanging around, was surprised. She stood up at her right angle with her legs glued to her clothes.
“Uh, how did you do it?”
“I just stood up with my feet together and this is what happened.”
Merida said, raising pitch darkness to keep the ghosts in check.
Simon also put his feet on his clothes and slowly stood up.
“!”
It was as if gravity had reversed and he stood upright. Outside of Simon, the world is just tilted in the opposite direction. Simon chuckled.
“That’s right, this is a dungeon. “Common sense is meaningless.”
Gigigigigigigi!
Ghosts pour out. Simon and Merida each took charge of the ghosts and began
to disperse and fight.
Simon’s tactic is to throw himself in and induce physicalization of the ghost, then attack with a SS summon or an Overlord.
Merida held in her hand a sleep magic that had been modified so that it could
also have an effect on ghosts, and fought as she passed between the ghosts, putting them to sleep one by one.
Although not quickly, both of them gradually reduced the number of ghosts.
“Hehe! “Have you already had an accident?”
Tenerife appeared where the two were fighting.
Ugh!
When she aroused her spirit, a vague crown reminiscent of a ‘tiara’ was placed on her head.
Shoot!
Shoot!
Spirit slashes poured out from her fingertips and tore all the undead apart. The conversational power of Simon and Merida, who were organizing everything
one by one, was insignificant.
Simon was impressed, but Tenerife put her hand on her waist with an expression that said she had done the obvious.
“This room is not for beginners, but since this is your job while I’m in the main body, it would be a good idea to teach you thoroughly! “You both said you weren’t confident in necromancy, right?”
“yes.”
Simon and Merida nodded and admitted obediently.
Meanwhile, a ghost came after Tenerife, and she cut it off with a flick of her finger in the air.
“Actually, I knew it too! Still, why did I invite you? “Even if you’re not a necromancer major, you can fight well in the Ghost Palace!”
She lifted something from her arms.
It was a lantern with a flickering green light. Simon realized what it was.
‘The trap I saw in the princess’s garden?’
“You just need to use a few props! And remember this too!”
She unfolded the magic circle herself and enlarged it to show the two people its composition.
“It will take time to learn right away, right? Anyway, if you give this magic circle to the artifact and make it work, it’s like this!”
When the lantern was activated with the magic circle, the lantern flashed and
spread waves around. The ghosts that touched the wave became mushy, their spirit state was lifted, and physical power was forcibly granted them.
“braided! “It’ll be easier to hunt now, right?”
As soon as she became physical, she took out scissors from subspace and threw them. They moved like a swarm of piranhas and tore apart all the physical ghosts.
“You can fight like this! Of course, this artifact is not something you can use all the time, so be careful! Then I will tell you the composition of the magic circle… … !”
Taaat!
fault!
As soon as he finished speaking, Simon and Merida jumped up.
After each person picked up a lantern and neutralized the ghosts around them, Simon used Bone Spear and Merida used wide-range sleep to eliminate or neutralize the ghosts at the same time.
Tenerife exclaimed.
“… … Ugh, hmm! Did you see it once and follow it? “Elite is elite.”
Percussion.
Simon got back on his clothes and looked at the lantern. The light went off after one use, but as time passed, the light grew as if it were being charged.
“I know how to use this thing. “Is there any other way to fight better in the Ghost Palace?”
“Of course there is! How about this?”
Tenerife opened a new magic circle in the air.
Ugh!
As the magic circle activated, small sparkling particles in the surrounding air
began to be drawn in.
“Do you see particles floating throughout the space of the Ghost Palace?”
Simon turned his head. It was true. Small particles like fireflies were moving around throughout the ghost palace.
“This is called a ‘wisp.’ It can be found anywhere in the Ghost Palace and on the continent without difficulty. “Especially in the ghost palace, over time, these become aggressive ‘ghosts’.”
“It looks like a ghost’s egg.”
“Good analogy!”
Shoot!
After absorbing enough wisps from the magic circle, she gave the magic circle’s components an augmentation formula. It was a formula to control the sucked wisps and a formula to increase their size.
“This is a technique that only a corps commander who is good at giving absolute orders can do!”
She shouted as she sent a magic circle forward.
[Swing!]
Chamaaaaaa!
The wisps that had just been sucked out of the magic circle turned into black
ghosts overlaid with the pitch black of Tenerife and began to swirl around her like a typhoon. All the ghosts in the spirit state were being torn apart.
The ghost undead in the palace was eliminated with the ghost undead controlled by black magic.
“There is another way… … uh?”
Taa!
After hearing that explanation, Simon ran out, dragging the ghostly undead.
I immediately reproduced the magic she taught me and attracted the surrounding wisps, while using my other hand I untied the belt hanging from my clothes.
Soon, the formula of the magic circle was changed and an absolute command
was given.
[Dwelling.]
Sigh!
Wisps poured out from the magic circle and clung to the belt. The belt changed to a combination of dark blue and green, and Simon jumped into the air and
swung the belt loudly like a whip.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
Fuuuuuuuuuuuck!
All of the ghostly undead hit by the swinging belt were split apart and destroyed. Simon, who landed lightly on the pole, smiled brightly at Neterife.
“I got it. “Do you think you can shed your hair tomorrow?”
Tenerife, who was dazed for a moment, let out a laugh.
“… … It’s more than just a rumor. “Should I have asked Keygen a long time ago?”
