Enkonomiya looked at me with a keen expression before she spoke,"Well. I guess there is little we can do about it," before she released her father's hand, moved a few steps forwards and bowed in front of me as she spoke,
"Thank you, Mister Michael. For making this miracle come true. If there is anything we can do for you, please speak without any hesitation."
"Is that so? Then can you let me pass from here?" scratching the back of my head, I spoke as I looked at her and a slight apologetic smile appeared on her face as she spoke,
"If I could do that, I would have done- huh? What?!"
Her eyes opened up wide as she looked at a red coloured screen in front of all of us. It had a language that I did not understand, though looking at the shocked expression of Enkonomiya, my eyes turned curious before she looked at me with shaking eyes as she spoke,
"Are you the one responsible for this as well?"
'For what?' Is what I wanted to ask but before I could even say a word,"To free me from all the responsibilities… just who are you?"
And hearing her words, Armes looked at me as if I were a God before he observed my confused expression and explained,
"While helping me was a miracle in itself, when it came to Miya, she was not just bound to this place, but also had become a part of it. To separate her from the entire system without disturbing everything is equivalent to removing a needle from the center of the haystack without disturbing any of the hay." Hearing them, I realized just the level of things that had occurred. But it wasn't me who did this… that guy… Just who is he… and how much is he capable of?
"Thank you, Michael. I don't know what is your motive or what your purpose is, but if you need us for anything, you can call for our help anytime you want," spoke Armes as he looked at me with bright eyes.
"Umm… okay… All right, I guess. So… what next?" I asked, as I didn't even know what exactly happened. All things just kept going on their own and before I realized I had gained another two people who were ready to help me.
"You need to go to the center-most room and fight against King Voltaire's lost spirit. We can't help you with this so for this, you are on your own," spoke Enkonomiya while Armes added,
"You will need more than the spear art to defeat him, but if you can just use that special ability of yours for quite some time, I guess you should be able to do some damage to him. You don't have to win, anyway."
"Eh? Why don't I have to win?" I asked with a surprised look and he answered,"well. Since he is a spirit, they don't belong to this world. All you need to do is do a bit of damage to him, and his connection to this world will break, making him return to the Spirit Realm."
Hearing their words, I pondered a little before I nodded at them.
"Thank you for this information," I thanked them sincerely, making Enkonomiya widen her eyes at me before I passed them slowly towards the center of the room. The reason why I was in this place was to begin with.
'How much time has passed in the outside world?'
[45 Seconds]
Smiling at that, I slowly moved into the next room, leaving the father and daughter duo behind on their own. Oh! I forgot to ask what they were going to do next…. Well… let's do that if I ever meet them again.
Soon reaching the next room, I found myself in a large empty throne room with a single throne at a distance from me. At the throne, there was a man completely covered in armor from top to bottom, sitting on the throne as his red eyes shined through the gaps between his helmet.
-Slash!
[Time Rejection!]
I walked one step at a time; I felt a couple of attacks coming from left and right. So there were more people around in this room? I could feel them, but I couldn't see.
'Well… not like it matters,' I thought before taking off my spear and
-Slash
Slashing the air before
[Time Rejection!]
"Chiaaa!" one of them shouted before
-Thud!
It fell on the ground as it screamed like hell before vanishing into thin air as its body turned into dust. It was like a black mass of energy taking the form of a human.
-Slash!
-Slash!
-Slash!
A barrage of attacks came to me and I simply used my [Time Rejection] ability to cancel it before using it again to kill those pesky little guys.
One by one, I killed all of them, realizing there were 34 of those things lurking around. After 34th, even though I made a few slashes, I didn't hear any more screams.
By the time I had killed all 34 of them, I had already reached closer to the spirit of King Voltaire sitting in front of me.
[1st Spirit of the King Voltaire(SS-Grade)]
[One of the lingering desires of the King Voltaire, hope, took the shape of a guardian that protects the throne even at the cost of his life.
Once upon a time, when Voltaire was throned as the King of Nexus, he was given the duty to protect his kind from the alien races. Even though an impossible task, Voltaire vowed to protect the throne, his country, his family, this castle, this entire world, even if it costs his life. He had a hope that even if he dies, at least his spirit will be there to protect them.
This Spirit is the manifestation of that Hope

[Do you want to challenge the 1st Spirit of the King Voltaire(SS-Grade)?]
[Yes/No?]
'So there are more of his spirits, huh? Looks like it is going to take longer than I imagined,' I thought as I pressed, [Yes]
-Slash!
As soon as I pressed that button, I saw myself getting slashed into pieces… in the foreseeable future that is
[Time Rejection!]
And once again…
-Slash x 100
In an instant, I did that 100 combo at him, though he simply dodged it by jumping up, without much of a problem.
'I am starting to pity my enemies at this point,' I thought as I sighed
[Time Rejection!]
-Thud!
Behind me, the Spirit of Voltaire fell down on the ground, broken into pieces, as I turned back to observe it getting repaired slowly and slowly
[HP: 412,091,000/900,000,000]
'Damaging it a little my ass, I had just killed half of it and yet it is gaining its form back so rapidly,' I cursed under my breath before proceeding to take a stance and
-Slash!
-Slash!
-Slash!

I started slashing again over and over while continuously using [Time Rejection] before I saw a message
[Congratulations on Killing the 1st Spirit of Voltaire]
[Your rewards will be calculated at the end of the dungeon!]
[You may proceed to the next room of the dungeon!]
As soon as that message appeared, I saw a passage opening at the floor, in the center of the throne room, deeper into the dungeon.
"Well, looks like this whole thing will be a bit longer than I anticipated,"I thought as I moved down to the next floor.
