Dungeon Designer: Bringing Smiles to the World!

"clang!!!"

The highly intelligent Lost Knight was the first to draw his sword, managing to stop a Soul Eater charging towards Grace.

The silver twin swords clashed with the jet-black greatsword, producing a sound that was almost deafening.

Upon seeing the Knight of the Lost Land, the Soul Eater's eyes glowed even brighter, as if a starving ghost had spotted a table laden with delicacies.

The existence of a spirit like the Knight of Lost Home is the best food for a soul-devouring demon that plunders life, souls, and humanity.

While the Knight of the Lost Land was locked in combat with a Soul Eater, unable to gain the upper hand, the others also began fighting the remaining Soul Eaters.

【Spinning Slash】!

Joel, wielding the Serpent Scimitar, was the first to use his combat technique. A flash of cold light appeared as the blade cleaved towards the neck of a Soul Eater.

But in the next instant, the Soul-Sucking Ghost murmured softly and raised one hand.

In an instant, the space around the Soul-Sucking Ghost's palm visibly distorted, forming an invisible shield!

"clang!"

The Serpent God's Scimitar struck the invisible shield, causing Joel's hand to ache from the impact.

"What's going on here!?"

Startled, Joel deliberately distanced himself from the Dementor, having never seen such a move before.

Combat techniques? Or some kind of equipment?

On the other side, Galactus also expanded its body and swung its great shield at the two Soulflayers. However, this blow, which was enough to stun even the legendary Pokémon warriors, was blocked by the Soulflayers' invisible shield.

Not only that, the Dementor suddenly grabbed at the two of them. Joel's alarm bells went off instantly. His long combat experience told him that he absolutely could not be caught by that black hand!

【Spinning Slash】!

With another attack, Joel's figure flashed to the other side.

Unlike the agile Joel, Galahad raised his great shield and proactively met the black hands reaching out from the two Dementors.

"I don't recommend you try to withstand the power of the abyss head-on, hehehehe..."

Just before the black hand was about to touch the shield, a sinister laugh rang out above everyone's heads.

"Patch!" Elisa immediately called out the name of the person who spoke.

Almost the instant the warning sounded, two magical missiles struck the two Soul Eaters that were reaching for Galahad.

The black hand was immediately interrupted and failed to touch Galahad's shield.

"What are you all standing there for!"

After releasing the missiles, Dylan began chanting the incantation for a higher-level spell.

Elisa and Lia, on the other hand, constantly used missiles and arrows to restrain and harass the Soul Eaters.

The two priestesses, Grace and Horn, kept praying, offering prayers of blessing as if they were free.

The remaining two assassins, Aiso and River, had already slipped into the shadows, attempting to stab their daggers into the gaps in the Soul Eater Armor.

But when the dagger successfully pierced the armor, they were surprised to find that the expected sound of flesh being pierced did not occur.

The two assassins' daggers seemed to have struck not a fleshy body, but a piece of dry, rotten wood.

The same was true of Leah's arrows; no matter how many hit, even if one of the Soul Eaters' heads was riddled with thorns, its movements were not affected.

Only Elisa's magic missiles could inflict some damage on the Soul Eater, but even that was ineffective.

"The Soul Eater is entangled in an immortal curse and has also made a pact with the Dark Serpent. It cannot be defeated by these simple attacks."

Patch poked his shiny bald head out from above the crowd and said in a cheeky tone.

"What are these guys' weaknesses?" Elisa asked Patch above while continuously releasing magic missiles.

"Tsk tsk tsk, I'm a businessman... so you should understand." Patch chuckled.

"Cunning merchant," Elisa cursed under her breath, but quickly pulled out the souls she had collected along the way from her pocket: "That's all, take it or leave it!"

Patch skillfully pulled a long spear from the otherworldly backside and with a gentle hook, snatched the bag containing the soul into his hand.

After weighing the options, Patch said with satisfaction, "These Soul Eaters are weak to light, especially sunlight. But you don't seem like those Sun Knights, so lightning will do."

Upon hearing this, Elisa immediately began chanting a spell, preparing to unleash the 3rd-circle spell, Lightning Bolt.

Meanwhile, another magician, Dylan, had already prepared his spell and was ready to unleash it.

4th Ring spell: Fire Wall!

A raging inferno suddenly ignited, rapidly forming a ring of fire that isolated the vast majority of the soul-devouring ghosts on the other side.

Only three Soul Eaters remained, still fighting Garadon, Joel, and the Knight of the Lost Land.

The soul-devouring ghost on the other side of the wall of fire whispered and tried to cross the raging fire, but it was afraid of the light emitted by the wall.

Although it wasn't sunlight, it was enough for the Soul Eater, who was trapped in the curse of immortality and the power of the abyss.

Ordinary insects yearn for sunlight, but soul-devouring ghosts are like cockroaches, unable to bear the light.

Having finally gotten a chance to catch their breath, the group immediately focused their firepower on the three Soul-Sucking Ghosts on the other side of the fire wall.

After multiple blows, Elisa finished the attack with a third-circle spell.

Lightning Bolt!

Arcs of electricity crackled as the Soul-Sucking Demon raised its black hand, once again conjuring an invisible shield.

The next moment, a thick bolt of lightning pierced through the invisible shield and the armor and chest of the three soul-devouring demons, annihilating the already withered body.

"call……"

After casting the spell, Elisa breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said, "Let's not get entangled with these monsters. Let's go down and find a campfire first."

This suggestion was unanimously supported. These monsters called Soul Eaters were extremely troublesome, and there was no need to risk casualties by fighting them. It was best to retreat.

【Dance Style】!

Before leaving, Elisa cast a wind spell, making the raging fire wall burn even more fiercely, thus buying time.

Led by the Knights of Lost Home, after a rapid march, the group finally found a small room with a campfire in the chaotic Sicks Village complex.

"Thump!"

The door was closed, and everyone looked out through the warm glow of the campfire. After a moment, they confirmed that the soul-devouring ghosts had not followed them.

"The guide says that the campfire is always safe in this dungeon."

Recalling the contents of the walkthrough, Lia looked curiously at the campfire in the center of the room, where a spiral sword was stuck and the remains of the undead were burning.

Before Leah could even get a good look, Patch saw a shiny bald head emerge from behind the campfire.

No one knew how this guy knew they were coming here, nor did they know why he could move freely in this dangerous, monster-infested village without getting hurt.

"Alright, alright, we can't waste our rest time. Let's visit Patch's Old Shop instead."

Patch chuckled and skillfully set up his stall.
