Is it wrong to try to meet someone in a dungeon?

To protect them as they fled, Lefia deliberately released "magic" to draw the monsters' attention to herself, attempting to unleash "magic" after a "parallel incantation" to wipe them all out, but unexpectedly...

"! 』

"Huh!?"

The masked man noticed her movements and focused his attack on her alone.

Faced with the enemy's fierce attack, she no longer has time to communicate with Grace. The "Eye Crystal" only transmits the sounds of the chaotic battle between humans and monsters.

Lefia retreated step by step, the battlefield shifting multiple times. She barely managed to use her staff to block the swinging metal gauntlet, but Superman's strength repeatedly sent her flying.

"Lefia!?"

Annakidi's troops rushed to the scene upon hearing the sounds of battle, but it was too late.

The location is a wide passageway, at least ten meters wide.

Lefia was forced back to the entrance of the dungeon, which was suppressed by the orc army, and the masked man approached her.

"it's over."

Annakidi and the others were also unable to provide assistance.

Just as his clenched fist was about to slam into Lefia's body...

"【The Staff of Dionysus】!"

A lightning whip flashed past.

The magic repelled the masked man's attack at the last minute.

"Are you alright, Rafia?"

Seeing the girl protecting her like a knight and holding off the enemy, Lefia cried out with joy:

"Miss Philweis!"

“——————”

Dionysus paused time for him.

He stopped and turned around, but the girl named Philwis Sharia was not there at all.

There was only darkness.

His family members, who had just been talking to him, vanished like phantoms.

"Your family isn't with you at all! She's with Lefia! She can't be with you!!"

Loki excitedly relayed the information he had overheard through Lefia's "eye crystal" to him.

Dionysus was unable to move.

Dionysus could not understand it.

The family members disappeared.

They've vanished without a trace.

No, right?

Perhaps the elven girl was—

"Yes, Dionysus."

The words echoing in my ears, accompanied by unpleasant noises, crumbled as fragilely as sugar.

Dionysus lost his original expression.

The unprecedented chaos shattered the facade of God.

—Huff, huff, huff, huff, huff.

An unpleasant sound was leaking from somewhere.

It was some kind of harsh, scattered sound.

It wasn't until sweat dripped down his face that he finally realized it was from excessive breathing leaking from his lips.

The indistinct darkness accompanied the stunned Dionysus, nestling against him.

The dark labyrinth twisted and deformed in response, reaching out to entwine Dionysus's body.

"...What happened...what happened...what did you do...why...?"

Is it an illusion?

Or is it just a daydream?

Impossible, I am a god, beyond existence..

Even if one becomes omniscient and powerless, it's impossible for them to be affected by illusions. There's no reason for them to lose to abilities from the lower realms. That's right, impossible. Such a thing is impossible. There's not even a possibility of it.

—So, this is impossible!! Impossible!! Impossible!!

"Dionysus!? Dionysus!!"

He didn't understand what was wrong with him. Who was he? When was he? Where was he now? Who was he? The world was upside down, front and back were indistinguishable, order was chaotic, and he had lost himself.

It's a comedy. It's a tragedy. It's an opera, a silent film, a farce, a tragedy, a madcap.

The actors are Dionysus. The audience is also Dionysus. The playwright, director, and stage manager are all Dionysus.

Thunderous applause was followed by uproarious laughter. The fallen god Dionysus let out a mocking laugh at himself, Dionysus.

Cheers. Cheers. Cheers.

To the hanging tears, to the overflowing saliva, to the fiery red cheeks of a young girl in her first love.

A headache that growls like a wild beast, a personality torn in two, a mask shattered to pieces.

Completely drunk. Completely drunk. Completely drunk.

Intoxicated by darkness. Intoxicated by darkness. Intoxicated by darkness.

Oh dear, this is terrible...

He became a true "clown"—

"————"

Then.

The long-awaited darkness trembled slightly.

On the front, in front, beyond the line of sight.

Gripping his short sword tightly, Dionysus's long-sought "enemy" slowly materialized in his vision.

A divine object <a person> appeared in Dionysus's pupils.

Describing the lips as a crescent moon, he laughed and said how ridiculous it was.

The eerie, cold light emanating from the blade he held burned into Dionysus's pupils.

(How could that be...? That's... Could it be...?)

In that case, the "enemy" I'm investigating is...

The end of his own "revenge"...

The true face of urban destroyers is nothing more than—

"Dionysus!!"

Hearing the goddess's voice at the very end...

Dionysus answered in an empty voice:

"I'm sorry, Loki."

—Thump!!

"what?"

The goddess Hestia saw a pillar of light that broke through the labyrinth and soared into the sky, standing tall on the horizon.

"Sent back by the gods!?"

The ground, a maze-like street.

Ganesha, who was deployed alongside the [Family], looked up at the pillar of light and cried out.

"Who!? Who flew away!?"

Screams and chaos erupted among the members in an instant, and the leader, Shakti, shouted at the top of his lungs.

"No way."

Hermes stood up as if drawn by the beam of light.

In a corner of the maze street, a male god, accompanied by a few guards, stood on the rooftop platform of a building, watching over the man-made maze, his eyes wide with disbelief.

A colossal pillar of light emerged from the ground, piercing through the man-made labyrinth.

The dazzling light can be observed not only in every corner of the city, but from anywhere on the earth.

Whether human or god, all were captivated by that pure white, beautiful, and tragically magnificent pillar of light.

"~ ...

The shockwave engulfed the entire maze.

A violent tremor struck the man-made labyrinth, which truly became the "epicenter." Everyone inside the labyrinth, regardless of their location, was forced to endure the same intense impact.

"I can't stand up!!"

"What happened—!?"

The omnipotent Asphie, who was unsteady on her feet, cried out, causing chaos among the tiger-man Falgar who was protecting Melie and the others.

Collapse, explosion, flashes of light. The overwhelming information that flooded the adventurers' senses quantified as a destructive tsunami, engulfing the man-made labyrinth. Stone slabs adhered to the ultra-hard metal <Drysteel> peeled off one after another, falling from the walls and ceilings. The power to shake one's vision vertically was unparalleled on the ground, and the countless screams of the adventurers were drowned out by the raging tide of light.

"Aa ...

"Roar!?"

Above the eighth floor, the colorful monsters that stayed where the "pillar of light" passed were unfortunately reduced to ashes.

Whether it was a man-eating flower or a crystal tortoise, none were exempt. Even the "door" made of the hardest metal, orogen, shattered into dust.

This torrent of light was likely the greatest energy observable on Earth, a supernatural force that transcended the realm of mortals. True to its name, the "divine pillar" affected everything directly above it, engulfing and destroying everything.

The ripples of light connecting heaven and earth permeated all areas of the man-made labyrinth.

"Wow, wow, wow～～～～～～～～～～～～～～!?"

"Commander!?"

As people continued to fall to the ground, Tione yelled at Tiona.

The Lilliputian leader planted his spear into the paved ground, facing the raging "anomaly".A chill ran down my spine.

(thumb--!!)

My tiny fingers are experiencing pain I've never felt before.

In terms of time, it's not too long.

However, for those who remained at the "epicenter," it was an endless roar of light, until the light rising into the sky gradually faded, finally showing signs of ending.

"Stop...it's stopped...?"

The astonishing roar subsided, and the vibrations inside the passage ceased.

Having withstood the impact, Lefia raised her head.

The surrounding scene was horrific.

Almost all the stone slabs, except for the paving stones, had fallen off, revealing the ultra-hard metallic luster of steel. The magic stone lamps mounted on the walls had all fallen and shattered, emitting a ghostly blue phosphorescence at their feet. Lefia stared blankly at the scene of devastation.

"Lefia, raise your weapons! The enemy is still here!"

"—!?"
