Chapter 28

"Um... The 〈King's Wandering〉 is when the 〈Dream Lord〉 comes out of the depths of a 〈Dungeon〉 and starts wandering around inside it, right? Was that crying just now the 〈Dream Lord〉?"

Ruche asked me anxiously.

It seemed Ruche knew about the 〈King's Wandering〉, too.

That was only natural, since it was the sort of thing every adventurer needed to know about.

The 〈Dream Lord〉 is the heart of a 〈Dungeon〉, and it normally stays holed up in the depths without moving.

However, on rare occasions, it comes out of the depths of a 〈Dungeon〉 and wanders around inside.

That is the 〈King's Wandering〉.

There are several conditions that can cause it, but the most common is when an adventurer challenges the 〈Dream Lord〉, fails to deal any significant damage, and flees.

The 〈Dream Lord〉 rushes out of the depths after the fleeing adventurer, then wanders around the 〈Dungeon〉 for a while.

That was probably what had happened this time, too...
