Chapter 109
Second Theme (1)
The true start of Theme 2.
First, the selected teams remained grouped as they were.
The space began to shake.
Rumble!
Simultaneously.
The grotesquely upheaved floor began to sink back down, fitting into place like puzzle pieces.
“Ugh!”
“H-hold your balance!”
Team members who hadn’t even introduced themselves yet shouted.
I also lowered my stance, centering my weight.
Alright, alright, let’s pull ourselves together.
I took first place with overwhelming contribution points; it would be embarrassing to fall flat on my face ridiculously here, wouldn’t it?
[Delilah is transforming the Dungeon.]
[Participants not selected as team members are eliminated and transported outside the Dungeon.]
At that moment.
A spectacle that seemed like it belonged in an ancient magic fantasy movie unfolded before my eyes.
Rumble!
A castle, so tall it was impossible to distinguish how many stories it had, surged up from the center of the Dungeon.
Crack-craack!
The ground and sky undulated like waves.
“W-what is this…!”
“Everyone stick together! Hold onto each other tightly!”
We instinctively grabbed each other’s hands.
As if the world was on fast-forward, the sun rose and set dozens of times.
Light and darkness alternated so rapidly they almost seemed to coexist.
A sight never seen on Earth.
The participants stared blankly at the scene.
How much time passed like that?
[Transformation complete.]
The vibrations stopped.
The grotesquely wobbling world returned to normal.
