Destruction

Things seemed to be progressing very smoothly—so smoothly that they matched the caster's expectations perfectly. When Punk wanted to find a meat shield and trick someone along the way, Kane had volunteered himself. That was nothing unusual; getting set up was only natural for a Legendary Knight with such an idle, troublemaking personality.

However, after the sinister Legendary Mage successfully tricked his target, the subsequent developments actually proceeded entirely in the direction Punk had hoped for most.

The Legendary Level magic array did not sound an alarm, nor did the ancient ruin display any unusual defensive response. It merely began its self-suppression and self-repair functions at a speed beyond the caster's expectations. It seemed... Punk's plan had perfectly fooled the small measure of intelligence possessed by the array. This somewhat eerie Legendary Level magic array had truly treated the caster's "conspiracy" as an ordinary malfunction!

Of course, the magic array's self-repair system was not fast enough. Although it had suppressed the leaking energy torrent at once, a conspicuous breach still appeared on the previously bare rock wall.

Clearly, that was the "burglary tunnel" created by some "unknown predecessor." Over time, the opening had been temporarily patched by the magic array with a crude repair, but now, due to the explosion and rampage of the energy torrent, the insufficiently sturdy patch had been torn open once again, exposing the breach anew.

This was also within Punk's expectations. Through a "man-made accident," he could tear the breach open again, reveal the already "excavated" tunnel, and enter the ruin through it...

But... as he stared at the breach in the magic array, now devoid of all defenses like a "naked virgin," Punk could not help feeling something... strange?

It was simply going too smoothly... So far, everything concerning this Legendary Level magic array
