A World You Can't Leave Without Victory

The Western Continent, a forbidden zone for life, is shrouded in dense Miasma Mist year-round.

For an ordinary person, going in is like going into a toilet—it's suicide.

To this day, no one has been able to develop magic or tools to purify the Miasma Mist. The only magic that allows people to move briefly in the Miasma Mist has side effects, which means that people can only move in the shallow layers of the Western Continent and cannot explore further.

Therefore, humans have no understanding of the situation there, and it can even be said that they know nothing about it.

In a remote area, even on the Western Continent, in a dense forest that no one could detect, lies the location of the Calamity Nest Dungeon.

Its exterior is a tall, pyramid-like structure, but the building materials used are a sticky, pungent substance that stinks terribly.

You can get there by going through a portal that flows with slime, but—

At this moment, there is no one in the Calamity Nest Dungeon.

It's beyond just being deserted; we need to use more severe terms to describe the situation. It's far beyond ordinary desolation.

If you look closely, you can see that there used to be buildings around it, but now only the burnt-down ruins remain. Where did the people who used to live here go?

This question should perhaps be asked of Jia Nage, the lord of the Calamity Nest Dungeon.

In the city lord's room, an enormous purple mantis lay on the Fungal Carpet, looking ferocious and sinister—this was Jia Nage's true form.

"Almost there, my Spirit Power will be replenished soon."

"Damn priest, once I gain Spirit Power, I will tear you to pieces!"

He looked listless, but his tone was extremely vicious and full of hatred.

All the problems stemmed from the new priest of a certain Horde.

In the Western Continent, the demons were scattered into dozens or even hundreds of Horde. Because they were prolific, each Horde had a huge population.

These Horde were all led by priests. The largest Horde had sworn an oath of non-aggression and cooperated together for the resurrection of the Demon King. However, the smaller Horde under their jurisdiction were constantly fighting each other.

Not long ago, a new priestess appeared in a large Horde called "Gray Song". As soon as she gained power, she massacred those unruly Horde.

The Horde near the Calamity Nest Dungeon were completely wiped out, and as a result, the area lost all its population.

After surveying the area, the new priest concluded that the Calamity Nest Dungeon was not worth using. It was remote, its resources were not competitive, and after the local Horde were wiped out, no one was willing to risk offending the new priest by coming here.

And so, Jia Nage found itself in dire straits.

All he wants now is to go berserk, kill the new priest, and turn the Gray Song Horde into hell!

However, he felt that his current Spirit Power was insufficient and that he needed to plunder thoroughly to be safe, so he set his sights on Gong Qiying had just been promoted to level three.

He's just a newly promoted newcomer; defeating him is a piece of cake! I only need to expend a tiny bit of my Spirit Power to reap enormous rewards.

Jia Nage didn't consider any other factors, or rather, he was blinded by rage. How to defeat the Zane Dungeon was not on his mind; all he was thinking about was how to take revenge.

In other words, he already considered the Zane Dungeon to be his for the taking.

Even if the Zane Dungeon does possess unexpected strength, there's no need to worry; Jia Nage's unique authority will surely be able to handle it.

The access permission was called: [A World You Can't Leave Without Victory]

Using this authority, he can create many small mazes and place various monsters or even conscious "people" in them. These "people" are not real, of course, but they have their own consciousness and can think, just like real people, but they will act according to the script he gives them.

You can't leave without conquering the maze, so this privilege is perfect even for dealing with dungeons! As long as you trap the enemy's [Synergies] inside, victory is assured.

"Time, faster, faster!"

Crawling in the darkness, Jia Nage whispered like a demon.

Gong Qiying was unaware that he had already been designated as a backup hidden energy source by someone. If he knew, he would probably laugh until his stomach hurt.

He was looking at the images on the Crystal Ball, with some adventurers who needed special attention being magnified.

In the scene, Leon and Da Er have just achieved victory, defeating the final boss Demi-Human Swordsman.

That's right, the final boss they fought was the [Demi-Human Swordsman], not the Sword Saint.

Roguelike have their own detection mechanism to determine whether to deploy Demi-Human Sword Saint based on the enemy's strength. Obviously, Leon and his group can just deal with the swordsmen.

Defeating the final boss will reward you with three Proof of Past Battles, a large number of Souls, a small chance of obtaining the boss's weapon, or taking away the learned magic or Weapon Skill. There is an even smaller chance of taking away a random blessing. In addition, there are at least three random item rewards. If you don't want them, you can recycle them into Souls at the altar.

These rewards are temporary and will definitely be updated in the future.

Da Er was fortunate enough to learn [Blessing: Skeleton Leap], a blessing that increases jumping ability, which will allow him to dance street dance even better.

But he still seemed a little unhappy.

"There are no Painting Fragment." He sighed, looking quite disappointed.

I thought this trip would allow me to collect Painting Fragment and revive the legend of the Wolf Knight, but now it seems that Painting Fragment are not so easy to obtain.

Leon comforted Da Er, saying that there was still a long road ahead and there was no need to worry about the gains or losses of this one city or battle.

Da Er, however, was thinking of spreading the news after he got out, mobilizing more people to challenge the Zane Dungeon. As long as the number of people reached a certain level, he wouldn't have to worry about the Painting Fragment not coming out!

When they returned to the starting point, they saw Jia Paer teasing two gray wolves, looking quite happy together.

"Teacher, when did you come out?" Leon asked with a smile, noticing the unique Stars Linked Sword hanging at the other's waist.

Hmm, why does it look so similar to the weapon of the Demi-Human Swordsman they just fought?

"We haven't been out long," Jia Paer patted the gray wolf 'Starry Eyes head and said, "It was a truly memorable battle, it's just a pity we didn't get the Tear Drop Larva."

"Um, teacher," Leon hesitated for a moment before saying, "I don't think clearing this part should be considered clearing the Zane Dungeon."

"Oh, I see."

Jia Paer seemed to have anticipated this; he shrugged and said:

"Tell me about your experiences, let me have a laugh."

So the three people and two wolves sat together and talked about their experiences in the Roguelike until Malu and the others returned to the starting point. After resting for a while, they all agreed to—

Let's take a detour and explore other places.

"I feel like throwing up." Malu's face looked terrible. "I've never encountered a good blessing, and the monsters are so strong. The combat experience is awful."

"Let's change direction and relax." Delu patted her on the shoulder. Their team had failed to defeat the final boss and had even died once along the way.

This exploration experience was terrible. I was so sick of hunting Roguelike that I had to go somewhere else to relax.

If a normal person had overheard this conversation, they would have looked on with a strange expression. Looking for "relaxation" in the Zane Dungeon? What kind of genius is this suggestion?

But no one felt anything was wrong; they seemed to really consider this place as "home."

I guess I've been in here for too long and my brain has gone haywire.

Da Er wanted to go home and rest, but seeing the harmonious atmosphere, he decided to keep the peace and keep the gentleman company.

They remembered the intelligence saying that killing the Demi-Human Sword Saint could weaken the Death Rite Bird.

Damn it, who got this information? Could it be that they actually beat the Roguelike and defeated the Demi-Human Sword Saint before the Strategy Team did?

I've never heard of such a formidable person in Bede City.

"Let's go this way,"

Coming up the path leading to the Roguelike, they chose this time the small room below the city wall as the starting point for their exploration.

The place is dark and cramped, with a musty smell in the rooms. The small rooms are closely connected, and the traps and the "doors that cannot be opened from this side" are well integrated. There are also hidden walls between the many paths that can open shortcuts.

After a short exploration, everyone felt refreshed and relaxed. The exploration experience of a normal map was much more interesting than the monotonous, square rooms of the Roguelike.

It seems that different scenes will be added to each Roguelike level from now on, and Gong Qiying's notes have been updated with new content.

Most of the monsters in these rooms are small, skinny slave imps. They are everywhere and can jump out at any time to give you a surprise. Malu is getting fed up with them.

Fortunately, the slaves were not very strong fighters. Apart from those who could blow poison arrows, the rest were not much of a threat; they were just scary.

"Uh, what is this?"

Leon Execute a slave, then picked up the light that the slave had dropped.

[Slave Headscarf]

In Lothric, only the lowly wear such things; they are treated like slaves. Sometimes sinners also wear them, but only for the purpose of humiliation and ridicule.

He looked at the dirty headscarf with disgust, wondering how any normal person would want to wear something like that.

But a magical force compelled him to secretly put it into his backpack, so that no one could see it.

"Wow, there's a really big pot here!"

In one of the rooms, Malu suddenly called everyone over quickly.

What appeared before everyone was indeed a very large pot, requiring three or four people to encircle it.

It was just a large pot with a slightly unusual shape; nothing special about it, and people didn't pay much attention to it anymore.

"I'd like to take it home," Malu, turning back several times as she left. She had never been able to resist such strange and unusual things.

Just then, a strange sound came from behind, as if something was moving.

Malu turned around abruptly and saw the large pot.

He stood up?

Not only did it stand up, but it also spun rapidly and charged towards them!

There's nowhere to hide in such a cramped room!
