A fortress made of gray magic power. It wasn’t particularly large, and the height of its walls was low. It looked more like a small base than a fortress. However, it clearly had walls extending all around. Confused, I glanced around. There was nothing like this mentioned in the skill description. ‘Perhaps these walls indicate…

Wearing a bizarre can on his head and visibly hunched, Lucas had returned nonetheless. I decided not to ask any questions for the moment. Once he was more settled—or took off that can—I’d have a detailed chat with him. “Today, we’re going for a free exploration of the dungeon!” I planned to go to the…
