Crash!

When Robocco and Bona looked over at the same time, Calhemus’s figure appeared before their eyes.

The moment they saw Calhemus, Robocco and Bona cursed at the same time without hesitation.

“Damn that ritual group!” ×2

Calhemus’s appearance made them immediately associate him with the group of mice that were currently gnawing at those dead souls.

They believed that it was another mutated creature due to the ritual.

As for Calhemus, although he did not have any human characteristics other than his face, the characteristics of his mother, the Night Bat Ape, were still rather obvious.

Robocco guessed, “Is it a night bat ape that entered the cave by mistake?”

“Isn’t the Night Bat Ape a wind-type creature? Since when did it become related to a water-type?”

Bona’s expression darkened as he berated Robocco.

“Who cares about that? The most important thing is to think of a way to escape. We’ll think about this when we’re safe.”

Robocco froze for a moment before coming to his senses.

Somehow, this sounded familiar.

“…I understand. I’m counting on you, Liveras!”

Summoning Liveras, a golden battle aura burst forth from Robocco’s body.

The moment the battle aura appeared, his knight armor also appeared on his body.

Unlike Bona, Robocco was a Dragon Knight.

After injecting battle aura into Liveras’s body, the man and the dragon began to synchronize at this moment.

Sensing the rising momentum on Robocco’s side, Calhemus focused on him immediately.

When he saw Bona and Robocco, Calhemus decided to vent his anger.

He treated these two people and the dragon they were sitting on as his punching bags, venting his emotions on them.

After what he experienced, especially the fact that he could not contact Bernal drove Calhemus crazy.

At this moment, Robocco and Bona happened to bump into him.

Under Calhemus’s control, the waves surged and attacked Bona, Robocco, and everything else.

The battle began.

At the same time, Bernal and the others arrived at the place where Calhemus was previously trapped.

“Haven’t we been here before?”

As they walked along the muddy path, Bernal looked around.

He did not know what he had experienced, but it was a mess with crooked trees everywhere.

Upon hearing Bernal’s words, Kulenna looked around. Although the place looked like it had experienced a great flood, there was nothing else wrong.

After some thought, Kulenna summoned his staff, and a halo dispersed from it.

It was a detection spell. Kulenna sensed the feedback of the magic, then opened his eyes in surprise.

“As Young Master Nielson thought, we came here before.”

As he spoke, Kulenna blamed himself for not noticing such a simple enchantment.

Bernal nodded after receiving confirmation.

He looked at Kulenna and asked, “What did you find?”

“Someone has set up an enchantment here.”

After a simple introduction, Kulenna knocked the ground with the staff in his hand. Then, a large tree rose abruptly from the ground.

[Magic: Treant Summoning]

“Whoa…” Bernal witnessed in surprise.

The summoned treant slowly walked forward under Kulenna’s instructions.

The treant slowly disappeared in front of everyone. After some time, the sound of the treant’s footsteps came from behind them.

They turned around and saw that the treant, who was supposed to be in front, walked back from behind.

After everyone understood the situation, Kulenna explained, “The goal of this enchantment is likely to trap unrelated people to avoid disturbance by making intruders loop like this.”

“If it’s only to prevent unrelated people and the monsters here from disturbing, there’s no need to set up such an enchantment.

“There are many more efficient and less detectable enchantments that they can choose from.

“It seems that the person who set up the enchantment is a vile person.”

“Okay.”

Bernal nodded.

Vile? Like my previous guess, it must be the accomplices of that batch of cultists.

Didn’t expect them to be here so soon.

While Bernal was thinking, Kulenna looked at him curiously.

Feeling Kulenna’s gaze, Bernal looked up and met his eyes.

“What’s the matter?”

Kulenna first bowed before asking Bernal his question.

“I’m curious how Young Master Nielson discovered this?”

It was difficult to detect any abnormality after walking one or two rounds in such a confusing place.

Regarding this question, Bernal pointed at a tree not far away.

“You see that tree? The surrounding trees are normal. That is the only one that shriveled. I noticed it the first time I passed by.”

Looking in the direction Bernard pointed, Kulenna saw a unique tree.

Compared to the other trees, the color of this tree was distinctly different.

Especially when placed together with other trees, this difference was apparent. Like a black spot on a piece of white paper, it was hard not to notice.

“Indeed, compared to the other trees, this tree’s color has faded significantly.”

Kulenna suddenly realized that he should have noticed the problem after walking one or two rounds.

Such an iconic tree was probably left behind by someone who was trapped here previously.

“As expected of Young Master Nielson. You sure are observant.”

“No need for flattery. Do you have a solution?”

After learning of the existence of the enchantment, Bernal looked around and realized someone had created these traces.

Since that person was no longer around and there were no remains, the only possibility was that there must be an exit.

Amidst his thoughts, Kulenna was about to speak up when Alia began carrying Bernal toward a particular direction.

Alia’s sudden action startled Kulenna. He opened his mouth to say something but quickly shut it.

Looking at the unfazed Bernal, Kulenna knew that he approved of Alia’s actions.

Since his master did not say anything, how could a lowly servant like him voice his opinion?

Alia, who had watched Calhemus’s movements, quickly found the exit of the enchantment.

They walked straight forward and passed through the enchantment.

The next moment, their vision darkened..
