Great Tomb of Nazarick

In the mysterious and vast borderlands of Helheim, on this particular day, a bold idea suddenly surged into the mind of Nishikienrai. He cast his gaze toward the exceptionally perilous Purple Poison Swamp.

Relying on the superb agility he had cultivated over a long period, Nishikienrai bravely stepped into this swamp, which was fraught with danger.

In this sinister place where mud and toxins intertwined, every step he took felt like walking on thin ice. A moment of carelessness would attract monsters called Zanam; although these creatures did not pose much of a threat to him, the most troublesome aspect was that provoking one would inevitably draw a whole swarm.

However, with his exceptional attack power and speed, Nishikienrai easily slaughtered the obstructive Zanam. Thanks to various potions kindly sponsored by Mu Fengyu, he successfully managed to traverse the Purple Poison Swamp, a place regarded as a death trap.

Continuing forward, a strange sight suddenly appeared before his eyes: a dreamlike Crystal Plains.

The plants here were like sharp blades meticulously carved from crystal-clear glass, flashing with a chilling, cold light under the brilliant sun.

In this area, even the slightest movement carried the risk of injury.

On these plains, there were also numerous monsters with mineralized bodies wandering aimlessly.

Yet, there was not a hint of retreat in Nishikienrai's eyes; he chose to forge ahead without hesitation.

After successfully crossing the Crystal Plains, another swamp filled with a mysterious aura appeared before him.

Surprisingly, there was a solitary little island in the middle of this swamp.

On the island, a mysterious and unfathomable labyrinth stood tall.

Without a moment's hesitation, he decisively activated a high-tier invisibility spell and began a difficult exploration into the depths of the labyrinth, moving with extreme caution.

In this labyrinth filled with unknown dangers, every step was accompanied by unpredictable risks, but his heart rate accelerated due to the excitement within.

After a long and tense exploration, Nishikienrai finally found the exit of the labyrinth, only to be presented with a dilapidated and ruined graveyard.

His keen intuition immediately told him that this was a high-level dungeon that no one had ever set foot in before.

Just as he prepared to continue his exploration, a snake with bat wings suddenly emerged from the graveyard and launched an attack toward his invisible position. Nishikienrai was startled, not expecting this monster to be able to detect his invisibility.

He quickly dodged to the side, his blade unsheathed in an instant, and slashed toward the monster.

The monster nimbly twisted its body, avoiding his attack while opening its blood-red maw to spray a cloud of black poisonous mist.

Nishikienrai reacted extremely quickly, rolling backward to evade the encroaching poison.

A flash of determination crossed his eyes as he took the initiative to attack again, his figure weaving around the monster like a phantom.

The monster did not show weakness, flapping its wings to whip up gusts of wind as it engaged in a fierce battle with Nishikienrai.

After a fierce exchange, Nishikienrai seized an opening in the monster's defense and swung his sword with great force, striking its wing directly. The monster let out a shrill cry of pain.

Taking this opportunity, Nishikienrai exerted his full strength, drawing the katana from his back to launch a series of fierce attacks. Finally, the monster collapsed to the ground and stopped moving.

Nishikienrai panted heavily, took a moment to rest, and continued deeper into the graveyard.

The graveyard was filled with a gloomy atmosphere, with ancient tombstones arranged in an orderly fashion. Suddenly, a strange, eerie laughter echoed in his ears, making his skin crawl.

He scanned his surroundings vigilantly, but could see no one. Just then, the ground began to shake violently, and skeletal arms reached out from beneath the earth, as if to drag him into an endless abyss.

Nishikienrai frowned and cast a distraction skill, leaving behind a phantom that was dragged into the ground by the skeletal arms. Relying on his superior gaming skills, he continuously used the air to propel himself across the area, reaching the entrance of the tomb.

Using an investigation-type spell, a rough description of the dungeon appeared before him.

[Great Tomb of Nazarick]: This was once the resting place of a powerful dark mage from the ancient era. Countless evil magical experiments were conducted here, and countless vengeful spirits were imprisoned within.

It is said that the Great Tomb holds endless treasures and mysterious magical grimoires, but it also contains countless deadly traps and powerful guardians.

Nishikienrai looked at the description before him and took a deep breath. He carefully and meticulously recorded the classifications and danger levels of the monsters he had encountered along the way, making full preparations to bring his companions back to explore it together and unveil the mysteries of this enigmatic place.

"That is the account of my exploration in Helheim."

Nishikienrai finished his story, and the eyes of the companions sitting around him shone with excitement and anticipation.

Bukubukuchagama put down the intelligence report and said seriously.

"Everyone, judging by the information, this is not a simple dungeon. It seems we need to prepare thoroughly."

"That's right. There might be a boss inside capable of using large-scale instant-death magic. We should prepare more special items to resist undead."

Nishikienrai nodded and added.

"We must also be careful of the Crystal Plains on the outskirts of the labyrinth. Prepare more healing potions and defensive enhancement items."

Everyone nodded in agreement, and the atmosphere became lively for a moment.

"Then we must bring our best weapons and equipment. This time, I'll bring out the newly crafted Take-Mikazuchi Type-5 to let you all see it."

"I will prepare enough recovery magic scrolls to ensure everyone's status can be restored to its peak at any time."

"I am skilled at setting traps. I will prepare some special mechanisms; they might come in handy at a critical moment."

Just like that, everyone stated their strengths and the contributions they would make to this adventure, and their confidence grew even firmer.

Just as everyone was discussing enthusiastically, Touch Me drew everyone's attention and said solemnly.

"Everyone, I have an important decision to tell you all. I intend to disband the clan."

Before he could finish his sentence, Ulbert immediately expressed his opposition.

"No, Touch Me, how can you do this! The clan isn't yours alone; how can you just say you're disbanding it!"

During the Nine's Own Goal era, a close friend of Ulbert had quit the game forever because of Touch Me, so he was furious that Touch Me intended to disband the clan without any notice.

Without giving him a chance to explain, he immediately opposed Touch Me's proposal.
