”Now, shall we go find out what the Dryads were hiding?”

”You know, I don't hate that part of you; that fickle side of yours”

”Thanks I like that part of myself too”

Thehis Acid Resistance to the high rank level, which was so to stake his life on before, he decided on a new goal He spent only 3in his accomplishment

”I wonder what the Dryads wanted from the Spirit General?”

”They wanted us to tell her about this place, so the answer's probably inside soan searching and quickly found the secret the Dryads had left behind in other words, the entrance to a dungeon Even though he atching Lee shi+n Woo's every move, Jin didn't understand why Lee shi+n Woo was so sure

”The traces the golem left behind are too thick, so I can't really tell”

”But it's a lot easier to sense than the winery? If you can grasp the Dryads' mana, then it should be easy to find”

There was an even easier way: find the ground that wasn't very daed, despite the fierce battle! Lee shi+n Woo suddenly drew his round softly vibrated and dirt stairs appeared leading down

[Level 5 dungeon - You have acquired the permit for Mellonia's Laboratory All stats increase by 10 within the dungeon The dungeon's information is added to your eon]

There was no way of knoho Mellonia was, but he was sure that the Dryads were using this facility differently than the way it was intended upon creation

Because the entrance was so tiny, they (especially the large Jin) had to hunch their shoulders to enter the dungeon Soon, the entrance closed, and hundreds of stairs appeared It was a relief that it ide enough for Jin to go down

”Hoo, we'll reach the bottom soon”

”It's too quiet”

”No, there's breathing You can tell if you sense the mana”

[!?]

Therecoiling in fear froeon He chuckled, and stepped onto the floor at the end of the stairs

However, before they went deeper into the darkness, they heard a voice which caused them to stop

[Who Who are you!?]

It was a pure and young lady's voice It was different from a human's voice, as it had a peculiar echo to it, and contained ic in it as well Lee shi+n Woo suddenly realized that this was an uncorrupted Dryad's voice

'As expected, the thing that the Corrupted Dryads wanted to protect the most above all were the Dryads eren't corrupted'

That was the moment that their hidden 'treasure' was revealed It was obvious when he thought about it The Corrupted Dryads' appearance had been so shocking that Lee shi+n Woo had erroneously assumed that there weren't any normal Dryads left

'If that's the case, then what the Corrupted Dryads wanted from the Spirit General was probably'

When he acquired the final puzzle piece, the Dryads, the answer beca that the Spirit General would protect the re his was also likely an extension of that as well They probably wanted the uncorrupted Dryads to leave this dangerous world and live in the Spirit Springs instead, or soot in the ht, Lee shi+n Woo Calive it a try'

Just blindly killing the else he could get from this scarce spirit species If that's the case, then there was only one thing of i

”I' was easier than even breathing; he spoke in an extremely peaceful and attentive voice

”I'd like to talk with you”

[T-Talk?]

”Yeah, talk”

Lee shi+n Woo's voice was extremely calm The representative Dryad seemed to be confused, as Lee shi+n Woo's appearance didn'tskeleton at all; however, while hesitating, the other Dryads began to speak by the ones or twos

[A trespasser! It's a trespasser!]

[How can a skeleton?]

[How can a , beautiful voices were pleasant to his ear, but it felt like the voices that came after the first were a bit older Soon, the noise spread uncontrollably

[You idiot, don't you feel that overflowing elemental power? He's not a norht Is he an Elementalist?]

[A skeleton's an Ele! The once dark dungeon began brightening up, allowing him to see within They were spirits that looked like beautiful woes he saw both these Dryads, as well as the trees that they were protecting

”It's rotting”

[Ugh!]

Lee shi+n Woo muttered subconsciously, and one of the Dryads couldn't help but respond That eon were rotting Naturally, thatan effect on the Dryads as well

”Mm Hoh”

[Keuk!]

[Kuuu]

Lee shi+n Woo, who'd noticed the withered trees, looked inside the premises, and found several Dryads who looked quite old They could feel his blazing goblin fire, and they shrank at his seery

[What have you come for, Skeleton!? You're not ht You've coh you're a skeleton with power over nature, you're still a skeleton!]

The Dryads' voices of resent Dryad (in other words, the one that seemed least corrupted) sported a fierce expression and stepped forward This was the Dryad who had first yelled 'who are you?'

[We don't want to talk with you! If you have any kind of respect, then leave before you spread the curse onto us!]

”Ha”

Of course, Lee shi+n Woo had no intention of powerlessly leaving after finding the dungeon, as well as discovering the mystery He had two choices: either kill all of them, or fool all of them Fortunately for them, Lee shi+n Woo had decided upon the latter

Now then, it was tioblin fire blazed immensely

”It seeo No you guys weren't born in the dungeon, were you? Weren't you originally affected by the curse?”

[Keuk!]

Lee shi+n Woo painted a perfect picture in his head The Dryads had realized the severity of the curse which uprooted the Empire, and had pushed their uninfected kin and trees into the dungeon

But the problem ith the trees Because the tree seeds were corrupted, the Dryads inside the dungeon couldn't avoid being cursed They were able to prevent the like the Dryads on the outside, as they entered the dungeon before it was too late, but they would eventually become just like theht?”
