After Karyad, Prince, Mihan, Teriya, and the surrounding surface territories had been successfully liberated one after another, the underground world in this region-especially the Dungeon territories around Trelins-had also been turned into a complete mess by a certain troublesome little girl Archmage and her female knight attendant.
