Silver Wolf was still suffering.
While she was suffering here, the Fools were causing trouble, and Black Swan left this place and found Acheron.
At this moment, Acheron was following Welt to investigate Penacony. During the investigation, she sensed Black Swan's presence.
"It's you?"
"Who?"
Welt, standing beside Acheron, had a grave expression upon hearing this. Subsequently, Black Swan appeared behind the two of them with a smile.
"Greetings, you two~"
"A Memokeeper?" Welt looked at Black Swan seriously.
Acheron: "You came to find me?"
Black Swan nodded: "Yes, Galaxy Ranger. A friend I know created something interesting through my hands, something so interesting I can hardly believe it..."
It was amazing. Even though the so-called dungeon Pei Guang created passed through the hands of two Memokeepers, was presented as a Dream Bubble, and had the standard characteristics of Memoria...
But here was the problem: after this dungeon was completed and testing began, it became unique.
It was clearly a Dream Bubble created under Pei Guang's control, yet entering the Dream Bubble involved a strange rule. This rule restricted everyone who entered, and made death inside... truly devoid of threat.
Yes, death in Penacony's Dreamscape actually utilized a portion of the Harmony's special power to achieve the function of waking up upon death, but this dungeon Pei Guang created made resurrection after death a matter of course.
It was clearly a dungeon made by the hands of Remembrance in the territory of Harmony, yet the result had nothing to do with any Path.
The rules inside seemed to be like this from birth, completely violating some characteristics of this world of Penacony.
However, it didn't matter. Knowing Pei Guang's uniqueness, Black Swan naturally wouldn't obsess over this.
In fact, what really interested her were certain peculiarities of this dungeon of Pei Guang's.
For Pei Guang, this was a mob grinder that constantly dropped the materials he needed, but Black Swan observed for a bit and found that this dungeon seemed to have other functions.
It seemed to have incorporated some... characteristics unique to Pei Guang.
Under the influence of him integrating into this world's characteristics, the dungeon he created developed functions that would be completely impossible under normal circumstances: shielding Paths.
Not sealing, but shielding.
In this dungeon, Pathstriders would have their own powers temporarily shielded while entering to experience the dungeon.
This was a dungeon Pei Guang created to kill people, so no special powers were set up internally.
Precisely because Pei Guang didn't set up any special powers when designing it, powers from Paths were completely unusable inside.
Although unusable, the power of the Path is already integrated into oneself. If one truly tried to use Path powers inside, they would be forcibly kicked out of the dungeon.
This feeling... was like a game scanning for third-party software.
If your software is covert, it might not be found, but if it's a dominant software like Path power, as long as it isn't added to the whitelist, it will be forcibly kicked out of the game, which means being kicked out of the Dreamscape.
Pei Guang himself didn't realize this function of his dungeon, but Black Swan noticed it.
Precisely because of this function, she wanted to see what would happen if Acheron went in.
Hmm? Trolling Pei Guang? No, no.
When Pei Guang built this dungeon, he didn't restrict special existences like Acheron from entering. In Black Swan's view, Pei Guang was more broad-minded than the Harmony of Penacony.
But precisely because of this, she was curious about what effect Pei Guang's dungeon would have on Acheron.
"Interesting?" Acheron looked at Black Swan's appearance and revealed an expression of serious thought.
Welt wanted to say something, but Black Swan interrupted first: "This interesting thing was made by your companion~ You know how capable he is."
Welt: "Is it Ah Guang? If it's him..."
Acheron: "Is it effective on me?"
Black Swan: "Who knows? Maybe it can completely resist Nihility~"
Black Swan covered her smile with a tarot card. Compared to Pei Guang, she was actually more focused on Acheron.
The more she knew, the more she understood that Pei Guang wasn't someone she could touch.
For ordinary people, Pei Guang was safe. But for Memokeepers, Pei Guang, who possessed memories not belonging to this world, was dangerous.
Going a little deeper would mean sinking into memories named 'Games', unable to extricate oneself, perhaps even becoming a dead statistic within countless game 'memories'.
Acheron: "Completely resist Nihility..."
Resisting Nihility sounded like a joke: in her cognition, no existence in this world could completely resist Nihility.
She was just... being swallowed by Nihility a little later on this path.
However, if someone with a certain understanding of Nihility said such a thing, she... and people like her would be willing to give it a try.
There was no harm in trying. Regardless of failure or success, for an existence like her, there was no question of whether any attempt was worth it or not.
"Alright, where is it?"
Black Swan: "The location... is right here~"
Black Swan gave the location of Pei Guang's dungeon to Acheron. After doing this, she turned and left.
Pei Guang didn't need her anymore, and while she wanted to obtain more information about the special existence that was Acheron, she didn't want to have too much direct contact with her.
It would kill people—no, it would kill Memokeepers.
Watching the departing Black Swan, Acheron looked up at Welt: "Apologies, it seems there is a place I must go to..."
Welt: "Let's go together. If I guessed correctly, this thing should have been created by Ah Guang. If he made it..."
Speaking seriously, Welt was very interested in the things Pei Guang created. Although there were many matters in Penacony, this one trip wouldn't hurt. He wanted to see what fun thing Pei Guang had made and try it himself.
Under the promotion of some special people, more and more people came to experience the dungeon created by Pei Guang.
Although there weren't many people now, the death count had already gone up.
The process of these people experiencing and constantly dying also verified Pei Guang's guess: this mob grinder was useful.
"Nice, nice! This drop rate is not bad!"
NOTE: Merry Christmas!
