From MC's perspective:
Looking at the weird monster on the ground. I stopped my movements and started observing it.
The monster looks like a centipede. But it's not. This strange monster had a sharp long tail at the end of the body. Unlike the centipede, the length of the monster is small.
From its moving direction, I can tell that it's going towards the entrance behind me. Maybe the disappearance of weird gas has triggered the change.
Seeing that I decided not to attack. Then I appeared in the Gregor Mansion and waited for the monster to pass.
Through the mirror I saw the weird monster slowly reach the entrance to the unknown metal room.
After confirming it, I appeared outside. In the dark tunnel, then I started walking forward. The path doesn't seem to be ending any time soon.
So it's difficult to see the end of the path with the naked eye.
20 minutes later,
After walking through the tunnel. I saw another huge door blocking the path. Seeing that I sighed in relief.
The distance was longer than I had guessed. Maybe I'm at the core of the crown forest. If it was surface, I would have encountered many dangers.
But here apart from weird gas and monsters. I didn't come across any danger.
Looking at the unknown metal door. I cast the magic spell to open it.
Boom~
After continuous attack, the metal door was half opened. Which was enough to get inside. But when I walked past the door.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt[Ding! Warning]
[Nest of unknown monsters is detected.]
A mechanical voice sounded in my mind. At the same time, a wave of crisis hit me again.
Swoosh~
I throw my light gadget forward. Which illuminated the surroundings. Then I saw several centipede looking monsters entangled with each other.
A quick gleam flashes in my eyes. Now I know where the weird gas is coming from. The unknown gas is coming from the body of these monsters.
Strangely, one of the monsters slipped away from the group.
The monsters got alerted after sensing the intruder. The centipede looking monsters immediately started to charge.
On the other hand, my eyes swept across the room. Several things caught my attention.
But before checking things out. I have to eliminate these monsters.
"Gravity Domain," I cast the magic spell.
The next second, the surroundings went dark. The domain spell engulfed the monsters closer to me inside the domain.
The monsters' unaffected by changes, kept on getting closer to me.
But a powerful gravitational force caused the monster to burst into pieces.
"Pfff"
One after another the monster died under the pressure. Quickly, the whole group was wiped out completely clean by gravitational force.
The next second, I found myself back in the room. There are one or two monsters that got away.
As they are not under my spell casting range. But I ignored the monsters and started to access the room.
Compared it to the previous empty room. There are a lot of things here. Around the corner, I saw 2 humanoid puppets standing without any motion.
"System, prove the target details," I instructed the system.
[Ding! The host's voice is recognized]
[The command is detected]
[Detected: Level-5 Humanoid Puppet]
[Material: Unknown]
[Status: Inactive (Core Absent)]
A row of information appeared before my eyes. Seeing that the puppet was not active. I sighed inwardly.
Compared it to the golem puppet. The humanoid puppet looks similar to a human in height and weight.
Then I hurriedly walked forward to place these humanoid puppets in the system space.
After placing the puppets in the system space. I turned my attention to the table and chair. To my surprise, the table and chair are black and made up of the same material.
Many years have passed. But still these 2 items were not corroded. Earlier, I was looking for some household items to fill the Gregor Mansion.
But I never expected to come across here. The 2 items are antique and expensive. If it's auctioned outside, it's impossible to buy using normal alliance points.
Then I walked up to the table. The drawer caught my attention.
Creak~
I opened the drawer to see whether anything was placed inside.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmA Crystal stone caught my attention. Seeing that I picked up the stone and held it in my palm.
"This is mana stone," I uttered in surprise. This thumb size mana stone must have been mined from somewhere.
But unfortunately the mana inside of it had long since dissipated. Looking at the rough cut of the stone.
I can confirm something in my heart. The previous room must have been a storage area. This room seems to be an inspection room.
Otherwise, it doesn't explain the existence of the humanoid puppet and this desk and chair. But it's a pity apart from these items. The room was empty.
Then I placed these items in the Gregor Mansion. After doing that I turned around to inspect this place one more time.
The walls, ceiling, floors are similar to the previous room. Except the size was small.
[Ding! Warning]
[An unknown wizard is approaching the host]
The mechanical voice sounded all of a sudden.
Swoosh~
Hearing that I appeared in the Gregor Mansion's hall. The black table and chair were at the center of the hall. After pushing it sideways, I hurried towards the control room.
Outside,
Mark entered the room a few minutes later. Looking at the emptied room again. A clear shock can be seen on his face.
"How could it be?" He said it out aloud. He was clear that no one had entered the underground tunnel except them.
But somehow the gas was gone. The further path became clear again. When he followed the route.
He again came across the black door which was destroyed by someone. And now he is standing here after following the route.
After entering the crown forest, he used his flight ability to get back here. Even if there was someone at the ruin site, he would have seen them.
But he saw no one outside. So changes in the underground room made him confused. The broken door clearly showed some sign of attack.
