[You have entered the hidden dungeon, ‘The Edge of the Fog’.]
There was no need to go through the wall of fog.
The moment the fog wall dispersed, the fog that had been forming the wall surrounded Seun, and he naturally entered the dungeon.
When I looked back, the waves of fog that had been swirling just a moment ago were no longer visible.
It wasn’t just that my view was blocked. As the saying goes, I had entered a dungeon, and was literally transported to a completely different space than before.
‘A real hidden dungeon. And it’s right at the exit.’
I thought most people knew about the hidden dungeon on the 61st floor.
In particular, the path outside the exit that followed Turik was an area that Seun had thought was an escape zone before returning.
The guideposts along the way didn’t respond, and no matter how much I observed, I couldn’t see a way through.
I never would have thought that a place like this would exist at the end of that swirl of fog.
– Here it is. My friend, I feel it. It’s here.
“okay?”
First of all, it is important to understand this place.
As Se-un put one foot forward, he felt a strange sensation that was hard to believe was the ground.
‘It looks like the floor is covered in fog too.’
Of course, no matter how thick the fog is, it is not enough to support a person’s weight.
Perhaps it is magically maintained as a wall of fog blocks the way when you enter here.
– But, I don’t know the way. Here, it’s too difficult.
All directions were covered with fog.
I couldn’t tell where the road was and where the wall was, and upon closer inspection, I saw that the swirling fog I had seen outside was also placed here and there.
If you step into a vortex thinking it is a path and end up getting caught in it, you will likely not be able to avoid fatal injuries.
No, looking closely, it wasn’t all around.
The paths here were not simply flat, but were also connected to the ceiling and floor.
Even without this, the visibility is blocked by the fog, and with this dungeon having a maze-like structure, it is truly extremely difficult.
but.
“Don’t worry about the road.”
Finding your way is Seun’s specialty.
I was worried that the guidepost might not work like it did outside, but as soon as I entered the dungeon, the guidepost was fiercely pointing ahead.
‘The only thing left is how to move forward.’
The itinerary had one drawback.
That’s right, it took some time to find the target point.
If it’s a bold direction like a boss monster or a dungeon exit, you can find it quickly, but if it’s a twisted path like this, it’s a different story.
You should take the time to observe your surroundings and provide information that will help you find your way through the itinerary.
It’s not that he doesn’t have much time, but Se-Woon had no intention of wasting much time in this fog.
– The power of ‘Tornado’ is strengthened according to the Black Tower’s magic.
Whew!
A whirlpool arose from Seun’s hand.
As soon as it left Seun’s palm, it grew in size and power, and soon began to violently sweep away the walls and floor made of fog.
To be honest, my expectations were half and half.
‘do.’
The fog wall here also swayed slightly, but it seemed less solid than the fog wall outside.
Of course, it takes an incredibly strong force to make the fog this thick.
To maintain all the walls of such a large dungeon so strong would require a strength that would be difficult even for a dragon to handle.
If the foggy walls outside were more quality than quantity, then the walls here are more quantity than quality?
I could easily guess the fact just by feeling the thick fog beneath my feet.
“Let’s break through and take a look.”
– huh!
– The power of ‘Wind Storm’ is strengthened according to the Black Tower’s magic.
– The range of ‘Wind Storm’ expands depending on the enemy tower’s magic.
– The attribute power of ‘Wind Storm’ increases according to the secret of the White Tower.
Hidden Dungeon, a storm has begun at the end of the fog.
* * *
Wheeing-!!
As expected from the 7th Circle’s wind magic, the power of the wind storm was strong.
The power of the storm was beyond imagination, as it was concentrated in the direction indicated by the guideposts of the journey, not even across the entire area.
As a result.
“Let’s go, Turik.”
– huh.
The wall of fog that had been blocking the path ahead dispersed unsightly.
My mana was being consumed at an incredible rate, but I was still able to hold out.
So I was going through this ridiculously difficult maze in a straight line.
“By the way, what kind of friend were you?”
Since the magic formula has been set, there is no problem maintaining the magic as long as you infuse it with mana.
So Se-un, who had some free time, asked Turik about his ‘friend’ in case something happened.
If Se-Woon’s prediction was correct, there was a high possibility that the boss monster of this dungeon was that ‘friend’.
– You were my only friend.

“Long ago?”
– Yeah. Back in the old days. He was different from me. He had a lot of friends.
It was different from his usual gloomy appearance.
Turik’s face looked brighter than ever as he spoke about his friend.
The purple wings were flapping quickly, clearly showing their joy.
– But you came to me anyway. You played with me. I was so happy. But… … .
Turik’s wings, which had been moving busily like a puppy’s tail, drooped. His expression looked as if tears might fall at any moment.
– He suddenly disappeared. I mustered up the courage to ask the other kids. But they all said they didn’t know. I was so sad. I was lonely.
“So you feel the friend who disappeared like that here?”
– Yeah. This fog must be my friend’s power too. It’s completely different from that time, but it feels the same.
“Then that guy is the spirit of the fog?”
– Yeah. I often had fun playing with the fog.
As far as Seun knows, even though the tower is a neutral space built between dimensions, he remembers that it cannot interfere with the spirit world.
Kidnapping the mist spirit from the spirit realm to create this ordeal on the tower?
I can’t say I know the tower perfectly, but it wasn’t something that could be easily understood.
However, it is unlikely that the arrogant Four Great Spirit Kings would have permitted it.
‘It doesn’t seem like an ordinary dungeon.’
The reason Se-un thought that way was because there were no monsters here.
Before his return, Seun had explored countless dungeons, but even among them, there were only a few dungeons where there were no monsters.
Of course, that doesn’t mean there aren’t any dungeons like that.
However, such dungeons usually had something special in them.
– It’s close. It’s right in front of you.
Was it the excitement of meeting an old friend? Turik’s wings began to beat faster, and the direction markers on the journey pointed forward more strongly.
Because he had been continuously using the 7th circle magic, Seun’s mana was already close to the bottom.
‘Is that it?’
Unlike the walls that were unable to withstand the power of the 7th circle wind magic and fell apart, the tall walls that filled the front did not budge even against magic.
No, it’s not just a wall, it feels more like a wall made of fog.
– It’s right in front of you now… … .
“don’t worry.”
Seun squeezed out all of his remaining mana and poured it into his magic.
The storm that had been scattering the fog wall raged more violently, pounding the fog wall before my eyes.
The castle walls, which had not moved at all, began to tremble.
The power was so strong that even Seun had to tense up his entire body to avoid being pushed back by his own magic.
“I’ll make sure we meet right away.”
Even though the mana was almost completely depleted, the wall did not collapse.
Although it is shaking precariously, it remains firmly in place as if it will never be pushed back.
At that time, Seun took out the Durandal while maintaining his magic.
‘The formula is bound to change anyway.’
I thought back to the Shining Blade I used a while ago.
Shining Blade is clearly a magic that drops a giant sword of light from the sky to destroy evil beings, but Seun changed this formula and swung it with both hands.
Of course, this is because the formula for Shining Blade is not difficult and it has the characteristic of a ‘sword’.
However, during the last of the trials of the previous great festival, the ‘Ten Great Magic Tower Masters of the Coral Tower’, I learned something while fighting against various magicians.
The magic formula is ultimately just the result of pursuing the most stable and efficient method.
It is standardized to fit everyone’s needs, but it is insufficient to reflect individual characteristics.
So, what is the best way to use magic?
‘original.’
It is about transforming magic to suit the caster.
Se-Woon, who thought like that, changed the formula of the whirlwind that was sweeping away.
The size of the gale that had filled my field of vision gradually decreased.
But the more it happened, the more the power of the storm was compressed and compressed again, until it became so powerful that it seemed like it would explode.
‘My specialty is that I can use both swords and magic. And… … .’
Then, the compressed and small whirlwind struck Seun’s sword.
The wind that blew madly was so violent that it seemed like it would break the sword, but Durandal, true to its name as a ‘sword that splits rocks’, firmly endured the violent wind.
Immediately afterwards, Se-Woon’s eyes sparkle.
At first it was just a sturdy wall, but the wall that was shaking while enduring the wind storm was no longer normal.
Even so, it wasn’t easy to find the weakened area with both eyes due to the nature of the fog.
Jiying-
The itinerary’s directions were already clearly pointing out the gap in the wall.
Se-un did not hesitate and gave a small shout.
“Ugh!”
He swung the moon, no, the gale that surrounded the moon.
Kwakwakwakwakwa-!!!
The wind storm, which basically had the character of a wide area, stretched out in a straight line in line with Durandal’s swing.
The rough wind pressure burst the wind pressure in front, and then swallowed it again, creating an even stronger wind.
– I congratulate you, the constellation ‘Snake Surrounding Time’, for gaining new insight.
– The constellation, ‘The Crow with its Head Down’, shakes its beak, saying that it would be a waste of energy if it used its own treasure, and that it could be done quickly.
The gale soon reached the gap in the wall that the guidepost had pointed to.
Hwaaaaak!
It seemed to hold out for a little while, but that was only for a moment, and soon the wall, hit by the strong wind, began to crack like a spider web, and then, unable to hold out, it burst through.
Before the fog could roll in and try to repair the hole, the gale was spreading out around it.
Once the hole was opened, it grew uncontrollably large, and cracks appeared throughout the foggy wall.
The fog could not stay in one place and spread out in all directions.
‘Phew… … ‘
Se-un’s hands were trembling.
The blow just now was no different from swinging the 7th circle magic with bare hands.
When I took out Mammon’s Noble Phantasm and swung it, I felt an unusually powerful aftereffect.
Although it was a surprisingly powerful force, Seun’s thoughts did not stop there.
‘What if I put magic into Mamon’s treasure and use it?’
Then, wouldn’t it be possible to have twice, if not more, power than usual?
If the power of destruction reaches there, it may be possible to sweep away the giant outer in one blow.
It might be possible to easily pierce through the defenses of the man known as the ‘Deposed King’ that we saw a while ago and kill him in one breath.
Boom!
As I was thinking that, the fog wall finally collapsed and the fog that made it up completely dispersed.
However, there was one strange thing.
The fog was not dispersing with the wind, but inward, that is, toward Seun, which could be said to be in the opposite direction to the wind.
It didn’t take long for that question to be resolved.
– It’s noisy… It’s noisy! It’s noisy!!
Thick clouds of fog rose from where the foggy wall had once been.
No, it couldn’t be called fog anymore.
A body composed of fog that was even more tightly compressed than the fog wall that had been broken by the blades of grass outside. Between them, two eyes glowed eerily like will-o’-the-wisps.
– Poser!
– It’s noisy!!
The appearance of the hidden dungeon’s boss monster, the Fog Spirit Poser.
