Chapter 94

Several days had passed since the large-scale Raid Quest at the 〈Tomb of Lament〉.

During that Raid Quest, we prevented a major incident by defeating the Skull Lord that had been born through existence evolution.

But the fact remained that someone was targeting the Adventurer City of Lacolina...

The anomalies in the 〈Dungeon〉—especially the existence evolution of the 〈Dream Master〉—had been caused by a vicious catalyst known as the 〈Wailing Trapezohedron〉.

Normally, in a 〈Dungeon〉 that had existed for a long time, magic stones formed from monster corpses and human remains accumulated. Their mana gradually intensified the anomalies, and one of the adventurers’ main goals was to defeat the 〈Dream Master〉 and bring the 〈Dungeon〉 to an end before that happened.

The 〈Wailing Trapezohedron〉 was a crystal of dark mana, raised to high purity and density by the resentment of monsters.

Someone had spent a fortune scattering 〈Wailing Trapezohedrons〉 inside 〈Dungeons〉 in order to cause anomalies.
