Evan D. Sherden, Went Beyond Bounds (5)
Thanks to Evan’s new skill, Suggestive Eye Smile, it had become easier to attack the dungeon.
Of course, even without this skill, the place would have been cleared within five minutes upon entering the new floor. However, after the skill, the moment he stepped onto the floor, the Sirens gathered on their own. The exploration of the deep field, which had been planned to take more than a week, reached the 74th floor in less than two days…
-Oh, I survived. I will hog his love.
“Is she the last one on the 74th floor?”
“It’s what I’ve always noticed when I came into the dungeon with you, Master…I can’t help but feel empty; you tell us to be prepared, and then everything is over in a flash.”
Evan ignored Shine and personally ended the last surviving Lunatic Siren. Then, a tiara decorated with enchanting blue droplets fell on the spot. It was the last part of the artifact set, named the Lunatic Siren set of Charm.
“And the bracelet came out from the 73rd floor…I didn’t believe it, but it’s completed… The Lunatic Siren Set of Charm.”
“What are you going to do? Will you wear it?”
“Well, I’m still reluctant.”
Arisha and Belois, who were both usually cold-hearted, lost their minds because Evan had gotten skills to amplify his charm, but he was afraid of just imagining what would happen if he wore such a strong charm support set. However, it didn’t seem like it was a good idea to give/sell it to others. There would be too many victims.
“…This is a dangerous item.”
“I’m glad you’re aware of that.”
Evan could tell because he had experienced it with his body. The item that raised his charm, or the hidden status itself, and it was absurd that his charm had reached the realm of mental magic!
Maybe the charm status surpassed the defense status, and maybe it even reached the level of God…no, that was a little too hard to understand!
“I can’t do anything about it. So I’ll keep it for now.”
However, the moment Evan spoke and grabbed the tiara lightly, the circlet on Evan’s forehead suddenly glowed. If the sun shone on a brilliant ruby, would this light come out? When a clear, bright red light shone from the tiara in his hand, the tiara also began to emit light as if it were responding to it!
“…I don’t feel good.”
“What should I do? …Should I tie Belois and Arisha together for now?”
“No, I can control the charm now, so it’s okay. The problem is…”
The tiara itself seemed to be disappearing! Evan’s ominous prediction did not go awry, either. The tiara, which was engulfed in brilliant light in sympathy with the circlet, slowly melted away. No matter how much Evan was said to be the poison from the Yo-Ma Great War series, he had no choice but to watch until the tiara melted completely from his grasp and disappeared.
“What was that just now, Commander?”
“Probably the evolution from the combination of items…should I call it fusion? I’ve seen something like this before.”
“Ah.”
Belois then exclaimed, recalling when Snow Mountain spirit earrings and Volcano Spirit earrings combined. It was a great thing that the two artifacts had been sublimated into one artifact, and the power of the one artifact was better after the two combined.
The slightly changed circlet was making Evan’s beauty more intense. He didn’t know, but he was sure his defense penetration skills had grown.
“But what happens to the existing set…?”
“You should try it, just in case.”
Other people reacted sensitively to Shine’s remarks. Evan, who had anticipated the reaction well, first isolated Belois and Arisha, then separated from the other members before he created a space for himself.
‘Then, let’s try it on?’
Evan briefly took off his Miraseul’s necklace, the Astray Knight-Commander cape, and the Black Cloud gloves before wearing the rest of the Lunatic Siren set of Enchantment. At that moment, he could feel the circlet shining a brilliant light and interlocking with the other three artifacts. He didn’t need to ask the others what was going on. A new set had been completed. It was probably a set with a more intense charm option than the Lunatic Siren set!
‘The Succubus set of Enchantment was fraudulent, to begin with, but it was upgraded to the Lunatic Siren set, and now it’s evolved from there? This…no. Let’s seal it.’
Evan, who recalled what had happened whenever his charm was amplified, hurriedly took off his equipment in a cold sweat. However, he decided not to throw away or destroy them. He didn’t know if, maybe, there would be a moment when he had to use this equipment. Of course, that kind of situation wouldn’t come…would it? He hurried to put the equipment together in his inventory pocket. When he returned to the group, they looked sorrowful.
“I wanted to see you wearing it.”
“I didn’t forget you from yesterday, Arisha.”
“It’s a coincidence. I can’t forget how you looked back then either.”
“…”
Arisha wasn’t normally like this. Evan slipped away from her and headed for Serena. Ironically, the only one who he could rely on now was Serena, who he had been most wary of in the past.
“It’s weird that you look so openly relieved, Oppa.”
“Don’t do that. It’s because you’re my only oasis.”
“That’s what makes me mad…!”
[Hmph!]
After soothing Serena, who hadn’t been treated like a woman, and achieving a level-up on the stairs to the 75th floor (God was continuing to level up the Suggestive Eye Smile ability, which Evan had gained as a reward on the 71st-floor floor), they finally entered the 75th floor.
“I feel like a whole new person.”
The 75th floor was also very different from the dungeon environment normally, but Evan had no choice but to harbor a special appreciation for it.
“It reminds me of the time when I was sent here by the trap steps of the third floor and died.”
“Yeah, that was in your prediction, wasn’t it?”
“Of course, this time, we’ve publicly blocked it, so there weren’t any unfortunate victims.”
The trap stairs on the third floor had finally disappeared as the Great Change progressed. As if it had accomplished all its goals…and at this point, players were wondering, ‘Uh, by any chance, the real purpose of this trap stairway was …?’
That was right. On the third floor, the trap stairway sent the person who touched the trap to the 75th floor for a question-and-answer session. Of course, there were many dangers on the 75th floor, but the most likely thing to meet was the Succubus! The player could collect a great CG in exchange for their death!
‘If you play normally, it’s impossible to get to the 71st floor before the Big Change happens……. People who wanted to play the game light and collect all the CGs used to charge on the trap steps.’
Of course, if you meet an Incubus or another monster and get killed, you have to start the dungeon again and go straight to the third floor, but there was nothing to stop players burning with the desire to collect CGs!
“But once the Great Change occurred, we can’t meet the Succubus anymore, so the trap staircases also disappeared. How beautiful those traps were.”
“That’s strange, and I’m sure you used to say that there was nothing more vicious than that trap staircase.”
“Yes, people were willing to give their life for a good time here.”
Next to him, Belois smacked her lips.
“Of course, it would have been impossible for me at that time, but it’s a pity that I couldn’t see the trap. If it were a trap that would jump from the third floor of the dungeon to the 75th floor, it would’ve been a ridiculous magical device.”
“It’s just a bug…”
“It doesn’t matter if it’s a device caused by a structural defect in the dungeon. The important thing is the magic structure that was created as a result. Perhaps it contained a secret that greatly advanced spatial magic. That’s too bad.”
“Oh, my…”
In rare cases, Mirole reacted to Belois’s words. She then asked a question while wearing an expression of interest.
“So Belois, if you could use it, would it be possible to go from the 75th floor to the 3rd floor?”
“That’s impossible by nature…”
“It would have been possible. There’s no such thing as one-way traffic in magic.”
Mirole nodded in an extremely pleasant manner at Belois’s reply, which then denied Evan’s words.
“Well, I see.”
“What’s more, a trap that runs from the third floor to the 75th floor is not just space magic — it breaks the basic logic of the dungeon that is strictly applied to everyone who enters the dungeon. If I had manipulated the trap, well…it’s all just my delusion.”
“No, it was interesting enough. It’s a trap that breaks the logic of dungeons, I see. I’m sad that I didn’t see it myself.”
While there was talk that he could no longer understand, Evan decided to do his job as usual. They put all the monsters on the 75th floor together, killed them, and then cleaned up the Sirens…
“The Floor Master Battle Room is…a total of three places. All of them would have been chimeras, but now they could be monsters with more dangerous charms than the Lunatic Siren. Let’s go in with everyone.”
“Commander.”
It was Mirole who had spoken up again. When Evan nodded as if to speak, she asked him with joy.
“I’m not proud, but I’m confident that I’ll never be fascinated. I’ve been putting pressure on you since the 71st floor, so I’m going to step up a little bit this time.”
“I’m sure there’s nothing wrong with the High Elf. Is there, Mirole?”
No wonder Evan didn’t bother to tackle her, even though he thought her attitude seemed different from usual. It was thanks to the belief that she wouldn’t do anything harmful to him.
“I want to destroy a floor master or the hidden boss, and I want to get a reward. I want you to give me a chance…would that be alright?”
“So that’s why… Yes, I was worried about the small reward that would go to Mirole in the first place.”
“Thank you very much, Commander.”
As Evan nodded gently, Mirole replied with a bright smile, almost as if she was a flower in full bloom. Belois quietly approached and grabbed Evan’s sleeve, perhaps because of the soaring competition. Seeing this, Mirole just smiled a little.
“But why this floor? Are you interested in the Siren’s drop items?”
“No, I thought I could get a Blood Crystal from them.”
“I see.”
Evan was convinced by the word ‘Blood Crystal’ and stepped down. Then he led the rest of the group to the floor master battle room…in it, he broke the strange form of chimera without forgiveness. He wasn’t disappointed at all.
The party continued to clear five more floors in ten days, conquering the 80th floor and finally exiting after achieving level 81.
