Uncle Hunter’s Login Life 334

Chapter 334 – Predicament

By the time I feel that my body feels floating for a while with the bright glare…
All sides were enveloped in darkness.

I think I got a similar feeling somewhere.

‘I think it was like this when I used the teleport magic circle at the Labyrinth Management Center…’

“What, what?”
“Why is it so dark all of a sudden?”
“What happened?”
I could hear the adventurers panicking.

Before long, spheres of light appear everywhere in the darkness.

Light. It’s lighting magic.
As the wizards all cast their light magic, the surrounding scenery quickly became apparent.

It was a huge stone chamber.
A huge stone chamber that didn’t look cramped at all even though hundreds of people were inside.

The ceiling is quite high, as if 10 meters could easily be exceeded.
Rows of thick stone pillars supported the wide stone chamber.

And on the walls, ceilings, and stone pillars, sculptures of hideous monsters were elaborately carved.

Is it like a temple that enshrines demons?

“…I think it was a teleportation magic circle…?”

Understanding the situation, Liliana opened her mouth.
The sudden change of environment was predictable, even if it wasn’t her words.

“If it’s a teleportation magic circle… Does that mean we’ve been teleported somewhere?”

“Yes, it seems that the transfer magic circle was engraved all over the common floor.”

Verna said with a confused expression.

“Couldn’t you stop it?”

It was a natural question since there were two archmages who were magic specialists.

“…Some of the dungeons paid a lot of attention to magic detection and security, and I think they paid a lot of attention so that we wouldn’t be caught in preparation for our coming. There is.”

It is a story that the black magician prepared this in preparation for the arrival of the great wizard.

“I wonder if the death of that black magician named Isaac was the trigger. I never thought that the black magician would sacrifice himself to activate magic…”

Two archmages who worked together to stop the magic of the black mages.
But… To be unable to stop a single warlock and to be helplessly defeated like this is not worth bringing.

“Don’t look at me with such pitiful eyes… Even monkeys sometimes fall from trees. Sacrifice-type magic is powerful. Besides, it was perfectly prepared… It was very quick to activate.”

Perhaps noticing the disapproving look in my eyes, Liliana makes her excuses.

“Hmm… I was so focused only on black magic… I was late in understanding it. Could it be that I was using transfer magic… Should I say I was caught off guard…”

“Anyway, it’s strange. Usually, if this kind of transfer magic is used, it’s normal for a scary trap to be waiting along with it…”

Verna’s words made sense.

He gave his life to transfer us, but there is nothing.
What would be the meaning if it was simply metastasis?
Originally, isn’t it standard to move it to the prepared place and fall into a trap?
Scary monsters were carved in the stone chamber… But it doesn’t seem like they would come out and move.

“This place is clean. There are no traces of other magic circles…”

“Really?”

I gave Liliana a suspicious look because of what happened a little while ago.

“It’s real! It’s a law to know how to properly bury a lady’s mistakes. Tsk tsk… A man can get away with nothing special… Besides, it’s not easy even for a great wizard to teleport on a scale like this. Maybe… I couldn’t have sent it that far.”

Liliana seemed to have already explored her surroundings with her magic, as if to make up for her former mistakes.

At first glance, this place also looks like a dungeon.
Did it transfer to another location in the same dungeon?
Barely?
What did he want to do?
I hate it.

“Stand, His Holiness…”

As I was contemplating the purpose of the warlock, Judith came to me pale and exhausted.
She was completely crying.
Should I say that she is not like Judith.
It was the first expression she made, except when she scolded me for the first time.
Why is he like this

“What’s going on?”

“Sir, Your Holiness… The divine power… I can’t feel Terra-sama.”

Judith told me with a look of despair.
The faces of the paladins behind her were completely mesmerized.

“…Can’t you feel the divine power?”

I looked at the stigma.

“Really?”

I tried to raise the power of the stigma, but there was no response. Come to think of it, the wonderful golden pattern on my magical armor made with divine power disappeared at some point.

“Terra?”

I tried to contact Terra with the stigma, but there was no response.

What tricks did that black magician do?

I tried to spread the consciousness around.
The information around me poured into my head.
The power of the stigma disappeared, but my detection ability returned to some extent.
Not perfectly.
Several hundred meters less than usual.
For now, that was enough.

Having spread my consciousness and grasping the shape of the building, I couldn’t help but tilt my head.

‘Did the original dungeon have this structure?’

Even if it was transferred to somewhere… But something was strange.
I guess I should get out of this place to know more accurately.

The structure of the stone chamber was simple.

There was only one place to go out, and that was blocked by a huge stone gate.

Although the stone gate was a huge stone that could easily be seen beyond ten meters, it didn’t matter to me.

“Move for now.”

I led the subjugation party and headed for Seokmun.
Adventurers also follow us, watching us intently.

《Chaos Kinesis is activated.》

I pushed the stone gate lightly with telekinetic power without even touching it.

-That’s it!

There doesn’t seem to be any special lock.
It was simply a heavy stone door.

I opened it just enough for people to pass through, and I went through the door in the lead.

Beyond the door was a hallway.
The aisle, which was filthy in size, stretched all the way in a straight line, and there was no other way out.
And at the end, there was light.

Is it an exit or a new space?

The subjugation party and the adventurers moved towards it.

After passing through the long passage, what we saw was a desolate land covered with red soil.

‘Outside? Wasn’t it inside the dungeon?’

The place where we were was a huge pyramid-type structure.
The structure stood alone on the desolate red earth.
There were no other buildings in the vicinity.

Our place was halfway up the pyramid.
And there were stairs all the way from the exit we came out to the ground.

‘Did you move it to another place in the labyrinth instead of inside the dungeon? By the way, was there a place on the 11th floor of the labyrinth with such terrain?’

When I flew through the sky of the 11th floor labyrinth before and glanced around, I had never seen a place like this red wasteland.

“Ooh, Unho! Everything, a moon has changed its shape!!”

Christina made a fuss, boasting of her loud voice.

I looked up at the sky as if possessed by the little boy’s cry.
It wasn’t just me, everyone was like that.

“…”

“Haha… This… Seems like a big deal…”

Bright looked up at the sky and said with an awkward smile.
There were two large moons floating there.

Pantera originally had two moons.
Red moon and blue moon.
However, the moon floating in the sky was quite different from that.

One was a slightly familiar blue moon that I had seen in Pantera as well…
The other one…A beautiful planet that looked like Earth was floating in the sky.
…This place was not a labyrinth.

‘This… I think it’s fucked up…’

I remembered the proud smile of the black magician before he died.

Seeing a sky quite different from that of Pantera, we held an emergency countermeasure meeting.

“Anyway… This place is like the Demon World.”

Bright said with a serious face.

“Pandemonium? Are you saying that Pantera’s red moon was in Pandemonium?”

“…It’s amazing. To figure that out in such a short amount of time… That’s right.”

Bright was a bit surprised when he answered my question.
Not only her, but also Liliana and Verna were looking at me with surprised eyes.
Did your subject notice this? It is a disgusting expression.

It was an easy inference for me, having lived on Earth and heard about the universe.

“To say that the Red Moon was a demon world…That’s surprising. Then what about the Blue Moon?”

There was an irresistible curiosity in Verna’s eyes.

“Whoa…The situation has come to this, but it’s not something to hide. The blue moon is the heaven where Terra-sama lives.”

“Hey, Heaven!!”

Judith and the paladins looked at the blue moon as if possessed. After a while, he was in the mood to get down on his knees and pray.

“Then…What is that mottled, pretty round moon over there?”

Christina asked after seeing a planet that looked like Earth.

“Pantera.”

At Bright’s answer, her little boy’s eyes widen.

“Ooh, the place we lived in is a round moon floating in the sky?!”

The little boy was in great shock.
The other members of her party were clearly surprised.

“I’ve read books that say Pantera might be round, but it’s amazing to see it in action.”

“Heh! I already knew. I was thinking of going to the moon someday. But I found it surprising that the two moons were heaven and hell.”

Verna glared at the smug Liliana.

“Bright. Are you also unable to contact Tera?”

Bright is a courier and helper sent by Terra.
She wondered if she might have an urgent means of contact like a stigma, so she asked.

“Unfortunately, I am also disabled. The Pandemonium is a completely isolated place where Tera-sama’s power does not reach.”
