NnAh, did it get cancelled

As soon as I got up, I immediately created a Water Cooling Barrier. Its still only around 5 in the morning, but the sharp sunlight on the open skies is already starting to heat up the surroundings. When I looked at everyone, it seems like they were troubled sleeping, but shows a gentle sigh of relief after it was deployed. Oops, that was a little bit dangerous

I also immediately blanketed everyone with processed wolf fur so that they wouldnt catch a cold if it was a little too cool, while the other early risers came to greet me.

Ah

Oh, good morning

The young babies that the children were carrying that woke up reached out to me smiling. Sorry, I dont milk to offer to you little ones.

When I brought my fingers close to one of them, the baby grabbed my hand and started suckling. Oh, I could make some pacifiers for them along with proper baby food.

After watching the first one to grab my hand, the other two babies also reached out to me. Sorry, I only have too hands to and Im sure if I grow extra hands using fairy magic, Id end up frightening them.

Sigh, it cant be helped

So, what exactly are you doing so early in the morning

G, Good morning La Veil. If its alright with you, could you lend me a hand for a bit?

Ahfine, do as you please

The early awakened La Veil squints as she stares at me. Right now my hands are occupied by two babies as I continued humming on the third one. Hey, dont do thatdont start moving aroundI wonder if I could get someone else to hold them down

Master, how about making Arena hold them down when Im sleeping?

You just want someone to replace so you can sleep some more right? This dragon

Soon enough we have reached the 51st Floor, and as we entered, the atmosphere changed.

Its indoors this time

It kind of resembles a mansion, right?

Dungeon?

It sure is a gorgeous hallway though

Sand Over

Over

The place we entered looks like the hallway of a mansion. There are chandeliers hanging from a high position far ahead of the aisle, and the ground is comfortable to touch with a red carpet. There is no dust at all as if it was just recently built. There are also some finely crafted furniture stuck on the walls.

And as we were observing, Arena along with the children takes off their boots and shook off the accumulated sand from inside. Please do something like that outside, not inside a place like a mansion or castle

So, are we still in a dungeon floor, or are we inside a mansion?

I wonder what kind of monsters would be in a place like this?

Well, thats some we have to find out soon

There is no other choice but to continue. For the time being, we started walking cautiously while keeping everyone as close as possible.

However, after several hours of walking, the scenery didnt change at all and some children felt uncomfortable with the endless looping corridor, so we stopped for a bit and held an emergency meeting.

Is this corridor just too long? Though it doesnt feel like were progressing at all, right?

Maybe theres some kind of gimmick involved? We havent encountered any monsters along the way too

Is it some kind of trick that is not a proper trap?

Probably. Butbecause things continued to not change at all, it kind of creates a really creepy atmosphere

Ah, I understand that feeling. It kind of resembles something that happens in a horror movie

Is this really something like that? Lets see, whats something common on such western mansionsI see, then the monsters would also beif thats the case,

Cielo, there was an old grandfathers clock along the way while we continued walking, right?

Eh, umm, yes there was indeed one

Do you remember the time it was set on?

No, I dont remIt was at 12 oclock? Arena?

Arena confidently supplemented my question to Cielo. Yoshi, as expected of my best friend.

Did you notice the needle moving?

NnNn

I see. Mika, I adopted one of your ideas from earlier. Alright, 1 point

Why did I get points? What are the points for?

Do you want to know?

I dont want to know it

After resting for a while, we continued moving again until we find the clock. This time, we walked slowly so the children wouldnt feel sick from the repeating visuals. And finally, we found what we were aiming for.

Ah, there it is. Well, the time isas expected, its not moving at all

The pendulum is moving, but the hands did not move even the one for seconds, and all the needles points at 12 just like before.

What does this mean?

Probably, this floor or rather this mansion was time stopped at 12 oclock, the same goes with all progress in this floor. In other words, The Story of the Mansion still havent started. And if we want to continue, we need to start something to be able to proceed

?

Cielo and La Veil tilts their head in confusion not understanding the meaning, but Mika on the other hand had her face turned blue. While Arena is,

Hau~nted~House Hau~nted~House

She put her hand on my shoulders and started bouncing with excitement. I she thinking about this as some kind of attraction, well Arena isnt really the type that would be scared of something like this. Now then, time to ring the bell that would start this with everyone.

Alright, Arena. Rotate that hand once

Okay!!

Arena opened the glass doo on the clock and spun the seconds hand with her index finger.

Click* Wooooosh*

Hiiiii!?

Ooooh

The lights from the chandeliers went out first. The hallways was blanketed with darkness to the point that even each others faces could not be seen. Cielo an Mika screamed from the surprise. I was a bit worried because there was no screams from the children.

Children, Roll call

After listening to everyone, I counted, resulting in everyone being present. When I asked them why they were silent, it seems like everyone was holding their breaths. No, you shouldnt have done that, its if youre scared you know?

For the time being, in order for us to move in this darkness, I asked La Veil to float a small fireball for lights,

Only after that we concluded, were not in the same mansion anymore.

Isnt this like really scary!?

Just as Mika said, even though we were in the same corridor, the red carpet became rugged and dark with rips and damages all over the place, the windowpanes and boards became tattered, and the view outside was in total darkness almost like a void. There are also broken pieces of chandeliers on the floor as if they have decayed after a very long time.

Adding to that are the traces of blood splatters all over the place. It completely turned into a typical horror house no matter where you look at. If its like this, I wont even be surprised if something actually appears.

*GushuGushu

And then, from depths of darkness beyond the hallways,

footsteps 12

With hollowed eyes that does not reflect anything, popped out of the boards, then the eyes shine an eerie light as they focused upon the children

Broken furniture also started rattling and floating all on their own.

And then, from the corridor behind us, slowly moving, a group of undead who barely kept the shape of a human, started flooding in.

It was a terrifying sight. The children who witnessed this horrifying madness couldnt hell but fall down on their feet and tremble in fear. That is fine though. It was definitely better than having them panicking and running away.

Theres nothing like this that I have encountered before. Not to mention they are inflicted by an abnormal skill, even though they should be in the undead system already. La Veil and Mika prepared themselves and even Arena is inSAT mode now and was ready to give instruction even is she wont be able to fight properly. Mikas Holy SwordSkills should be able to easily deal with them. The children, even if they couldnt move will be alright as long as they are within my barrier.

Howeverthis was different from what we expected.

Mika, are you sure that the confirmed level of this place is only 50, right?

Y, yes

I think I understand the reason why

And them at the end of the passage, there was a certainArmorappeared from a magic circle.

If it was a little while ago, I was at a level that I would probably be annihilated instantly if I were to engage on that enemy without even being able to do anything

The one who made this dungeon must be kidding me. No matter what they think about this, even a normal hero would not be able to win against something like that. Its like one of those super bugged characters that are just basically there to prevent you from completing a dungeon quest.

Cielo who saw it began to tremble and Mika who felt its killing intent was also frightened.

Why, why is there a Heros armorin a place like this

Its so strong, I have never seen anything like that

I quietly gave instructions to La Veil and Arena. Arena who was already in SAT mode also made her moves.

La Veil

I understand. That is really dangerous indeed. I will also use Synchronization

Un, if anyone else face that, they will certainly die. Arena too

Its okay, I wont be in your way

Well then, can Ill leave the rest to you?

Can you really do it on your own, Master?

What is it now La Veil. Are you worried that I wont be that on my own? Its fine, though I would be happy if it could become useful for the children later.

Well, its because that seemingly wants to challenge me. Also, its been a while since Ive found something to challenge. For now, La Veil, please block the path the same way as you did on floor 20

I could feel it, even within its helmet its line of sight was definitely directed at me. Perhaps it sees me as a challenger. There is probably no other reason why something with ridiculous status like that would come out.

Alright. Dont die Master

Also one more thing. Arena

What is it?

Will you hug me in my sleep after everything is done?

I always do it. Do your best

I dont need to worry about anything anymore. I dont know or what their intension is, but Im going to challenge it even if I end up dead. Because that is the true nature of a fairy and fairy magic, to enjoy everything to your hearts content.

This time, I could feel as if I was getting suck in an abyss while being stared at by those two eyes. Thats right, only look at me. And I will be only looking at you.

Lets dance, Phantom
