The weapons I forge are absolutely flawless.

"What if it's an effect produced by an altar or a magic circle?" Listi continued to ask.

This is a possibility she realized when she looked back at previous battles.

When casting spells from different schools, the way magic flows within the body is completely different.

There was no reason for that evil eye to be able to interrupt another caster's spell while focusing on maintaining a group control spell.

The problem must lie in that magic circle that I can't recognize.

“That possibility cannot be ruled out,” Professor Hannemann replied.

Preparing a magic circle in advance to preset the spells so that different spells can be cast simultaneously is a practical skill.

But how exactly did a wild Evil Eye master this level of magic array?

This is a question that even Hannemann found perplexing.

According to Lysty, the magic circle on the altar could simultaneously immobilize hundreds of goblins while controlling a single emblem user.

Such a magic array is probably...

However, it's no longer appropriate to add pressure to the child at this point.

"Don't worry, I even contacted Jessica. She's got her eye on Vina, she won't stand idly by."

"Ah."

Listi verbally agreed, but her gaze remained fixed on the light emanating from the teleportation array.

Blue light, blue light... red light.

"Uh... what's going on?"

When had Trihak, who was sent out of the dungeon by the escape stone, ever seen such a scene?

Although he accidentally got separated from his teammates, fell into a trap and lost his supplies and spare weapons, and was eventually surrounded by a group of skeletons, he had no choice but to crush the escape stone.

He was in a sorry state, but there was no real injury whatsoever.

As soon as he landed, he was surrounded by medical teams, who immediately put him on a stretcher.

"..."

As the red light symbolizing the escape stone flashed, Listi rushed forward even faster than the medical team, only to find that the person who emerged was not the one she was waiting for.

It would be a lie to say I wasn't disappointed.

Just as Lisette turned away in disappointment, a familiar voice rang out from behind her.

"What, weren't you waiting for me?"

"Vina!"

Without hesitation, Listy threw herself at Vina.

Chapter 134 Jessica's Protective Role

"Alright, alright, I'm back safe and sound, aren't I?" Vena patted Listi's back to comfort her.

"Why so late?" Lisette hugged him quite tightly.

Although I am aware of the defensive capabilities of the Thief's Armor, there is ultimately a limit to its effectiveness.

If they are trapped for too long, the Evil Eye might find a way to break through their defenses.

“But I can’t just leave Felix alone, can I?” Vena whispered.

As for the escape stone malfunctioning, since we've already returned safely, there's no need to bring it up again.

"Oh right, where's Felix?" Lisette suddenly remembered.

"promise."

Vena gave Lisette a wink.

Listy shifted her gaze to the armor behind Venus.

"he..."

“We’ll talk about the rest when we get back. Come down first, there are still so many people watching,” Viner said softly.

"Let them see."

Now that things have come to this, Lisette no longer cares about those things.

“But I can’t even move like this. I can’t just stay here forever, can I?” Viner said, laughing and crying at the same time. “Come to my dorm later, and I’ll tell you what happened next.”

"You said it yourself." Upon hearing this, Lisette reluctantly released her embrace.

She said she didn't care, but her face was already bright red.

I'll come find you later.

After Lisette had walked away, someone stepped forward and asked, "Excuse me, do you need to be checked?"

There are still other medical team members who are dedicated to their duties.

Although she left the dungeon herself through the teleportation array, Vina's injuries were clearly much more severe than those of Trihak, whom she had sent away earlier.

On the contrary, Felix, who was covered by the Thief's Armor, did not appear to be abnormal from the outside.

"Thank you for your kindness, senior, but there's no need to trouble yourself," Viner politely declined. "Thanks to Mikazuki's timely rescue, I wasn't seriously injured."

As he spoke, he patted Felix, who was wearing armor.

Ouch, it hurts.

In a moment of carelessness, Viner used his injured right hand to grip the blade, and the excruciating pain caused his lips to twitch slightly.

"Huh? Yeah, yeah."

Felix looked puzzled, but thankfully he remembered Venere's earlier instruction to speak less.

Since it was Wiener who brought it up, I should just nod in agreement.

"That's it."

Since the person in question said so, the medical team member naturally accepted it.

Then his gaze turned to Felix, or more precisely, to the thief's armor on Felix's body.

After a series of battles, there wasn't even a speck of dust on it, let alone any trace of it.

"I've long heard that Mikazuki-kun possesses an incredibly powerful suit of armor, and seeing it today confirms its excellence. May I ask which grade Mikazuki-kun is in? Have we met before?"

The majority of the medical team members are college students working part-time.

It can hone treatment skills and also earn a considerable amount of academic credits.

The person who spoke to the two was a second-year student.

"Oh, right, I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Pandro."

“Hmm…” Felix turned his head to look at Vina.

"Sorry, Mikazuki is actually a bit socially awkward, but he is indeed a second-year student. He entered the dungeon to test the equipment's performance and happened to save me," Viner explained, trying to smooth things over.

They fabricated complete lies without even thinking about them.

“Yes.” Felix nodded in agreement.

“A second-year student…” Pandro racked his brains for a long time, but could not recall such a person among his classmates.

Seeing through the other's confusion, Wiener explained in a low voice, "Actually, Mikazuki is just a code name. It's normal that you don't recognize it. It would be too embarrassing for a second-year student to bully a first-year student in a ranking tournament, so I used the code name Mikazuki."

"I see," Pandro said, suddenly realizing.

"I hope you can keep this a secret, senior."

"Don't worry, I'm not a gossip."

"I actually wish you'd be more outspoken," Viner thought to himself.

After saying goodbye to the second-year senior, Vena and Felix left the dungeon entrance.

“We can probably separate now that we’re about the right distance,” Vena said, seeing that they were close enough.

"No, we're going the same way!" Felix exclaimed excitedly.

Although he had considered accepting whatever punishment he was to be given when he returned home, kicking him out of the house was still a bit too much.

“I know it’s on the way,” Viner said impatiently, picking at his ear. “So you’ll have to take a detour and go to Anna’s place first to bring my things back.”

"Why me?" Felix asked, still puzzled.

"Because you are now the crescent moon."

-----------------

The underground city has three, four, and five levels.

"Hoo~ hoo~?"

The four-eyed demon manipulated the barrier centered on itself to continue sinking.

He was in a good mood and hummed a little tune after completing the task.

In order to achieve the great cause of the Demon God, each additional demon adds to the power.

That being said, it doesn't change the fact that they are trapped in the dungeon.

Only a very few humans possess the means to kill demons, except for heroes.

Therefore, humans could only seal the defeated demons away and throw them into the depths of the dungeon.

The entire dungeon space is a huge prison, a treasure trove created using the power of these prisoners.

He is known as the "Demonic of the Sky," and with his unique talent, he can freely traverse the dungeon without alerting the academy.

However, maintaining the barrier also requires a lot of energy, so compared to other demons, he only has a little more time to relax.

The stronger the demon, the more oppressed it will be by the barrier, forcing it to venture deeper into the dungeon to catch its breath.

But the deeper they went, the further they got from escaping.

The appearance of a new demon in the prison is a good omen.

This indicates that the day when the Demon God awakens is approaching.

He must seize this opportunity to escape.

Thinking of this, the Four-Eyed Demon murmured with delight.

However, things rarely go as he wishes.

"It seems my junior has received some help from you?"

A beam of golden light suddenly pierced into the four-eyed demon's barrier.

She was very open and confident, as if she knew the demon couldn't do anything to her.

"It's you again?!"

The four-eyed demon instantly assumed a posture of high alert.

"If you had stayed quietly below the seventh floor, you might have survived. But you just wouldn't listen."

As the golden light faded, Jessica's figure slowly came into view.

"Speak, what is the purpose of your visit?"

"You thought I was going to tell you?"

The four-eyed demon glared angrily.

He had suffered greatly at the hands of this witch more than once.

Even if he encounters a stronger enemy, he is confident that he can escape unscathed.

But this woman was his nemesis, someone he couldn't shake off no matter what.

So don't be fooled by his tough talk; he's actually controlling the barrier to descend at full speed.

"I didn't expect you to answer honestly."

"So what are you planning to leave behind this time? Another eye, or an arm?"
