I was no longer in a corridor, so that was nice. However, now I was following Elaya as she led in a specific direction. On-the-rails dungeons were the worst. At least, the dungeon can give the illusion of choice by making it a maze with multiple paths. Then again, I supposed it was better than a giant open location like the Twilight Dungeon, where you had to repeat the sa task fifty tis and it was mostly filled with large empty fields.
I shook my head. For a second there, I was mistaking this life for a video ga. Although, I did gain levels, go on quests, and defeat monsters. I also had gotten here by slipping into a video ga. The choices I made were ultimately what I had when I appeared here. However, I refused to believe this world was just so elaborate ga. I had experienced far too much to believe that.
Thankfully, Elaya’s lesson didn’t appear to be anything like we were living in a simulation. If that was suggested, I didn’t know if I could cope. Instead, she took to a nearby lake that was adjacent to the mansion. She took a step to the side and then gestured to to continue. I had a feeling the second I turned my back on her, she’d disappear on again. Still, I decided to humor her and keep walking. I approached the shore of the lake, curious what she was trying to show .
That’s when I started to hear singing. It was a gentle, haunting song that seed to echo across the lake like a sound in a cave. I scanned the lake until I found a rock that seed to be jutting out of it. Standing on that rock was a lonely-looking woman. As soon as I recognized her, my eyes popped open. It was the Siren! This was the singer who had been my mid-level boss. Her singing could manipulate others, and even induce the dead to fight for her.
Her song was extrely dangerous. Once soone listened to it, it was already too late. However, the song didn’t seem to be affecting . I realized that was because the song wasn’t directed in my direction. She was facing away from and seed to be beckoning soone from another shore. I looked in that direction to see a dock that must have been part of the mansion. There was a woman wearing nothing but a night dress slowly being lured out to sea.
This was the very essence of a siren. They could call out to people, leading them to their deaths. Their song would cause soone to lose their wits. Sailors would crash their boats along the rocky shores and people would be lured out where they would end up drowning. This exact act seed to be happening to that woman, and that woman was none other than Fifi. With the dungeon skill Eagle Eyes equipped, it wasn’t difficult to get a vivid view of the scene, despite my distance from them.
Ti must have passed again, although it couldn’t have been more than a couple of months. Fifi was halfway down the dock, moving toward the Siren, who was beckoning her. I glanced at the rock outcropping that the Siren was standing on, and I realized I could see bones floating around the water at her feet. The Siren was trying to kill Fifi!
