Mana drain traps on the field, check.

Mana shield around the village, check.

Mana burst traps on the road, check.

Hmm...It feels like something is missing…These won’t be enough against over 200 people...

I guess I will go to Akira for advices? uhm that may be the best thing to do right now..

Kai said it to himself as he began to pour mana into the teleportation necklace that he got from Akira.

Phew...That thing consumes a lot of mana, that is teleporting magic for you, I guess?

“Ohh, welcome back!” (Akira)

The voice of Akira suddenly came out of nowhere inside the empty room.

“Thanks, by the way where are you?” (Kai)

Kai looked around but there was no sign of Akira or his golem inside the room, that being said Kai could still hear his voice clearly.

“I am on the top level wait a bit, I will be there in less than a second. “ (Akira)

The dungeon itself has become more or less Akira’s 2nd body, while that may sound weird it’s still the unbelievable truth, after all he has access to every single room and can change them at will , their shape, the atmosphere inside the room there were almost nothing that he couldn’t do as long as it is inside his territory.

His over 3000 years being down here wasn’t for nothing huh?

“Ah there is no need to, I just wanted some quick advice from you.” (Kai)

“Oh, what kind of advice?” (Akira)

“It’s a long story, but basically someone has declared war against my tribe, that is why I want some advices on traps.” (Kai)

“I see...That is certainly not a good news, Traps huh? Uhm, you have come to the right place, but the real question is are you prepared to kill a human beings?...” (Akira)

“Ah...About that don’t worry, I have made a vow to myself back then...I prefer not to kill, but if it’s necessary then I won’t hesitate either...” (Kai)

“I see, alright, let me show you something interesting then.” (Akira)

“Something interesting?” (Kai)

“Uhm! Touch the blue crystal on your left side.” (Akira)

“Oh this?” (Kai)

Kai touched the crystal carelessly, without knowing what will happen to him next.

“Wha?!”

“Yo!”

“You scared the crap out of me!”

“Ahahahha, sorry, anyways, back to business.”

“Uhm, sure by the way what is this place?”

It was a room no, more like a space made out of nothing but white color, it was almost like the dark empty space that Kai used to be trapped in.

“This is my testing field, pretty neat huh?”(Akira)

“Testing field?” (Kai)

“Uhm, you will see.”(Akira)

Akira responded in a confident tone, then pointed his finger at the middle of the room.

“Creation! Human male.” (Akira)

“??”

The sight of a middle aged man suddenly appear out of nowhere on the spot where Akira pointed his finger at.

“Oi! This is?!”(Kai)

“Ah, don’t worry this is just illusion magic, the room itself is made out of illusions, and so are we.”(Akira)

“I see…”(Kai)

“Hehe…”(Akira)

Akira let out a perverted grin then pointed his finger toward the middle of the field yet once again.

I have a bad feeling about this…

“Creation! Eri Tiana!” (Akira)

AS I THOUGHT!!!

“Oi!!” (Kai)

The figure of Eri can now be seen in the middle lf the room, with her casual clothes on.

“Ahahaha, sorry, sorry! Erase!” (Akira)

…………

“Come on, don’t look at me like that!” (Akira)

"..........."

“....Ahem! Right, back to business, Creation, Explosive mines!”(Akira)

“That is?!” (Kai)

“Yup, an elemental trap!”(Akira)

Magic traps, magic scrolls, those items are heavily relied on mana itself, that is why the result from using them is nothing more than a different form of mana.

To create an elemental trap made out of mana… This is an ancient recipe, that has been lost for tousands of years.

“Trap activated!”(Akira)

*BAMMMMM!!!!*

A huge explosion can now be heard echoing inside the white room all is left behind behind was a huge black hole right under where the mine was.

Even the man that was summoned got heavily injured just by standing 15 meters away from it.

“There are more, but this is the most basic one.” (Akira)

“I see...Can you show me a water elemental trap? The one that immobilize the victim. ” (Kai)

“Uhm..., but are you sure about that?…” (Akira)

“I am…” (Kai)

“Alright, creation, Water prison, ice prison.”(Akira)

……

“Trap activated.”(Akira)

Unlike the explosive mine, these immobile the target instead of killing them.

The Ice prison trap is used to freeze the victim’s body, and turn them into an ice block immediately after being activated.

The water prison trap is surrounded by a strong mana barrier on the outside, the inside is filled with concrete water, the kind of water that get thicker and thicker for each time the victim move, in the end it will turned into something that is 10 times stronger than concrete itself.

“Uhm...These are perfect, can you show me how to make them?” (Kai)

“Sure thing, but first you will need crafting skill to max level, then you will need a max level elemental spell for the trap itself, Last but not least you will need Max level in alchemy too, oh don’t forget some dragon bone powder, they are perfect for drawing magic circles with, well you can use vampire bone powder too but the result is nowhere near the same, oh you will need ink from Kraken as well.”(Akira)

“……………”

“I guess I will stick with mana traps...Thanks for your advices….” (Kai)

“However! there is another way of obtaining them!” (Akira)

“Oh?? What is it.” (Kai)

“From me, of course!”(Akira)

“Hah?!” (Kai)

“I want you to be my lab rat, for the price of 30 scrolls. How does that sounds?” (Akira)

“Lab rat!? Oi oi don’t tell me that you are going to use those explosives mines on me….If that's so then no thanks…Also 30? I may do it with the price of 50.” (Kai)

“Ah, don’t worry, it’s nothing of short I just want you to carry a cursed weapon...Also the price of 50 is a bit too much! It can take up to 10 years to make one you know?!”(Akira)

“Hehh~~ Cursed weapon huh? Do you know what harm such an item can cause? Not to mention that it can harm me mentally as well! 50 is a cheap price to pay if you ask me...By the way what kind of weapon is it?”(Kai)

“Ugh...You sure are hard to deal with...Fine than, 50 but no more! And, uhm, it’s more of an armor piece than a weapon, I guess it can be both?”(Akira)

No, you social skill just sucks...I better not tell him that..

“Hmm? What effects does it has?”(Kai)

“Oh, it’s easier if I just show it to you, come with me.” (Akira)

Akira reached out for Kai’s hand.

“U-uhm” (Kai)

Kai couldn’t even finish his line before being teleported to a dark looking room filled with cursed items from weapons to furnitures it was almost like the opposite of the room with golden floor and diamond looking wall.

“T-this is?!” (Kai)

“My cursed items collection…Don’t look around too much or it will break your mind…” (Akira)

Oi oi oi oi!!! This is not even funny!

“What about you?…” (Kai)

“Ah no need to worry these items has nothing on me since I am not in the body of the living, but it’s the opposite for you…”(Akira)

“I see…”(Kai)

*Gulp*

“Now then, come with me.”(Akira)

“U-uhm…” (Kai)

Slowly but surely they arrived an old looking door that is made out of wood, to make things worse the door was sealed by multiple chains and lockets with magic circles on them…
