During my absence, the heroes had diligently conducted autonomous dungeon explorations, and therefore, the opponent for this stage had already been identified. ‘The Ghost Pirate Legion.’ A pirate legion composed of ghosts that command various marine creatures, with Ghost Pirate Captain Bernardt Poker as their leader. The summoned sea monsters are troublesome, but the real…

Crossroad. The Alchemy Workshop. Bang! I burst into the workshop, calling out urgently. “Lilly!” Lilly’s room was near the entrance of the workshop, a consideration for her difficulty in walking.
