"Prison of Illusions? What is this?"
Yoo Sangah checked the sub-scenario displayed before her eyes and whispered in a voice full of doubt.
"They're coming. Everyone, stay sharp."
Before Kim Dokja's words could even finish, hazy, fog-like things swarmed all around us. Then, the pale fog swept over the party members along with a strong wind.
"Eeek…! What is this! I feel like I'm going to throw up!"
"Wh, what's with this sudden fog?!"
While the party members were panicking, I calmly activated a skill.
[Activating skill Dispel LV 1.]
"By the light of purification!"
[Due to the effect of exclusive skill Dispel LV 1, the Prison of Illusions has been dispelled.]
Then, the Prison of Illusions began to collapse at a rapid pace.
"Is everyone alright?"
I asked while checking on the condition of the party members behind me.
"Ugh... I feel a little dizzy, but otherwise I think I'm okay."
"I'm fine too, just a little dizzy."
"I'm okay."
"I think I'm fine too."
"It's a relief everyone seems to be okay."
Kim Dokja, confirming the party was fine, answered me.
[Constellations of the Absolute Good alignment are amazed by your skill.]
[Some Constellations of the Absolute Good alignment show favor towards you.]
[The Constellation 'Demon-like Judge of Fire' gives you a thumbs up for your action.]
[You have received a 3000 coin sponsorship.]
Yes! I chuckled to myself happily at the fact I gained 3000 coins just for using a skill once, when...
[You have met the clear condition for the sub-scenario!]
[You have acquired 300 coins.]
"It's not over yet. Be careful."
As soon as Kim Dokja's words ended, monsters wearing black robes appeared before our eyes. Grotesque lifeforms with a soft, amorphous form reminiscent of ectoplasm.
"I'll handle those guys. I have something I want to test anyway."
"Something you want to test?"
I smiled at Kim Dokja's question and took out Haniel.
"Haniel! Calydonscope!!!"
[The special effect 'Calydonscope' of exclusive skill Haniel is activated.]
[Exclusive skill Haniel temporarily transforms into exclusive skill Kamael.]
Before I knew it, the broom in my hand had transformed into a giant halberd.
[Due to the penalty of Calydonscope, the power of exclusive skill Kamael is reduced to half of the original's strength.]
Disregarding that message, I immediately transformed Kamael from its halberd form into its giant cannon form, Megiddo.
"Reduce them to... ashes, Kamael!!!!!!"
The fired Megiddo turned the Specters into dust.
"Phew~ One thing solved."
[The Constellation 'The One Who Faces God' stares at you blankly.]
Afterwards, Kim Dokja collected the Specters' spirit stones, and we headed towards Chungmuro.
"Who are you people? Don't you know this area is our hunting ground?"
Then, a girl who suddenly appeared pointed her sword at us and shouted.
"Ah, that girl!"
Yoo Sangah was surprised upon seeing the girl's face. Then the girl, who had removed her hood, saw the spirit stone in Kim Dokja's hand and asked.
"Did you guys happen to defeat some Specters?"
The girl asked me, bewildered.
"How on earth...? Only our Master can catch those."
The girl's identity was Lee Jihye, a character from Ways of Survival who would later be called the Maritime Admiral.
Soon, Lee Jihye sheathed the sword she had been pointing at us and spoke.
"Follow me. I'll take you to the station."
[Main Scenario #2 Encounter has concluded.]
[Settling rewards.]
And so, we entered Chungmuro, the next scenario area.
