Chapter 188.1
The End of a Wish 1
(…Where am I?)
In the middle of the battle, I was suddenly blown away by a transfer magic circle that appeared beneath my feet, and I found myself in a dimly lit building.
This place was clearly not in a dungeon. Stone floors and stone walls…but the material itself gives off a faint light, and a dungeon would never be completely dark, but there was natural darkness here.
It might have been a castle or fortress somewhere. There was no sign of monsters, not even a sign of people. …No, I sense only one strong magical presence. But contrary to the strength of its magical power, like that of a high-ranking monster, its life force was surprisingly weak.
Perhaps it was a weakened spirit life form like the water spirits we had fought before…. That was the only sign I could sense in this place. I gently wiped the blood glue from my knife and used [Purification] to remove the smell of returning blood, then used Concealment to approach the presence.
If it were true, I shouldn’t have approached danger myself. But if the “voice” I heard was the spirit of the dungeon, then it would make sense for us to meet the owner of this presence.
The scent of human life was clearly still present in the building, but I was more alarmed by the “smell of death” than by the smell of life. But I sensed a smell of “death” that exceeded everything, making me more alert.
And then…
“…Who are you and what are you doing here at this time of night?”
