Chapter 55 – Dragons and Dungeons – 1
The dragon’s nest was on a different level than I thought.
The nest I imagined was a huge dragon sleeping in a damp and gloomy cave.
But it was far from what was seen before our eyes.
There were numerous spaces, from a huge library to a bathhouse, and the interior design was so outstanding that you wouldn’t feel like you were inside a cave.
“I think I know why dragons live in nests.”
Except for the occasional time I come out to the human world out of boredom, I’m sure I’m living a luxurious life in a nest like this.
Still, it’s a good thing for me.
Because you don’t have to be a slave in a dark place like Cinderella.
Moreover, since she was a slave, I thought she was being asked to do some chore, but it wasn’t anything like that.
There is nothing I am doing right now.
At first, I was appalled because I thought I would have to clean a huge space, but it turned out that there was no need for it because everything was automated with magic.
The reason for making a dragon a slave when there was no need for it was absurd.
The reason she said was that she just wanted to own her hero.
You seem like an eccentric bitch.
But the good news is that they are free under the condition of not leaving the nest.
I wake up in the morning, take a shower, read pornographic stories in the library, and then go to bed at night.
The current situation is that sometimes when a call rings, you go to where the dragon is.
The original plan was to wait for an opportunity by Leia’s side.
However, she only made me her slave out of mere interest, and in fact she was neglecting me.
In addition, this place is so complex and huge that it is difficult to even track where it is.
Bibibbik! Beep-!
A call sound is heard in my ears.
Look towards where the sound comes from.
There, a crystal ball the size of a human head was sparkling and making a loud noise.
Reach out your hand and touch the crystal ball.
At that moment, the surroundings changed with a dazzling white light.
The place I was teleported to with the power of the crystal ball was my first time visiting.
A huge magic circle drawn on the floor and numerous herbs and bottles.
At first glance, it is a place to experiment with magic.
“You’re not planning on using me as a test subject now, are you?”
I look at Leia with an anxious heart.
She sat on her chair and looked at me with an arrogant attitude.
Happy looking eyes as if they found a fun toy.
“Normally, when you voluntarily become a slave, you become obedient, but you are strangely arrogant.”
Voluntary shit.
This lizard seems to have no conscience when it comes to pressing down on a subject with force.
“Wouldn’t it be better than being such a boring slave?”
“Tsk tsk… That’s definitely true. Good night. “I’ll allow you to be a little cocky.”
“Why did you call me instead?”
“You said it was the devil who made you come here, right? “I plan to go look for the evidence.”
Suddenly, dizziness hits my head.
I was just saying whatever came to mind at the time, but I never thought it would turn out like this.
“Maybe he would have erased all traces by now and gone into hiding?”
“It looks like you still don’t know who your master is.”
When Leia gestured with a confident expression, a red-colored magic circle appeared in the air.
“Do you think I would have stayed quiet all this time?”
Taaaaa!
When I snapped my fingers, numerous people came out of the magic circle
All the people who fell to the bottom had a dazed look on their faces.
“Is it really possible that you caught all these people and punished them?”
At first glance, there are dozens of people.
A variety of people are rolling around on the floor, from a rugged old man to a delicate girl.
The only thing they had in common was that they were all looking into space with unfocused eyes, as if their souls had escaped.
“Never mind. “I’m thinking of returning it to the original village anyway.”
The sight of people who look like zombies sends shivers down my spine.
I could almost end up like that too.
Even the guy who brought me to this cave couldn’t have done this at all.
“Thanks to you, I found out where the guy who tricked you is, so you can look forward to it.”
Leia looking at me happily.
But on the contrary, cold sweat was flowing from my forehead.
What if the culprit was not the devil but an ordinary crazy person?
You may end up in a worse situation than the people rolling on the floor right now.
“It looks like they tried to thoroughly erase their traces, but you can’t fool me. Just as you said, it was definitely the work of a guy called the Demon King.”
Could it be that that was really true?
Did you just say that because that was the only thing that came to mind?
“You look quite surprised?”
“Ah… No. It’s an amazing ability…”
There’s no need to tell me that I guessed it by chance.
I never thought it was a real devil’s plan.
If it wasn’t me who got caught, the knights or the army would have invaded this place.
If that were the case, given her personality, she would have swept it up like she was cleaning up a large amount of trash.
Should I be happy about this?
“That guy called the Demon King was quite good.”
“Then I will hit your head…”
Leia’s eyes become sharper.
Her intense gaze, like a predator’s, silenced her in the middle of speaking.
The shallow tactic of trying to escape doesn’t work.
“This is clearly the devil’s plan to invade the dragon’s nest.”
They disparage and create conflict with the Demon King whenever they think of it.
Since the culprit is revealed anyway, there will be no problem even if you discount it as a speculative statement by saying that it must have been like this or that.
I speak passionately, wishing that the demon lord suffered as much stress as I suffered.
“If you stay like this, will the dragon’s reputation be saved?”
Leia, who had been listening quietly, stood up from her chair as if she had made up her mind.
As a result of subtly scratching my pride, the exuding atmosphere contained a hint of anger.
“I will accept your words and go to destroy his base from now on. Follow me.”
“Do you know where the devil is?”
The existence of the Demon King has been announced to the world, but no one yet knows where he is.
However, the woman in front of him was the strongest being who could easily do things that were impossible for humans.
Even the Demon King could not estimate the extent of her power, so she was discovered.
Besides, I would never have imagined that they would capture and track people so ignorantly.
“I don’t know that, but I do know where the guy who led you here is.”
“Where is it?”
“He was hiding in the basement. It also has a fairly strong barrier. “I will attack there from now on.”
Before I could say anything, she cast her magic and her familiar pure white light enveloped her and my body.
*****
“Keltron! It’s an intruder!”
The appearance of the Lizardman, a monster that looked like a mixture of a reptile and a human, was filled with fear.
However, it was not because of the intruder, but because of the huge presence in front of us.
Bone-only wings with a creepy atmosphere.
A magnificent body with flesh rotting here and there.
The being that reminded the viewer of death was a dragon.
Zombie dragons are classified as monsters rather than ordinary dragons.
The zombie dragon, made from the corpse of a dead dragon, only had a feeling of decay that caused fear, and there was no sign of life at all.
“You didn’t wake me up with just an ordinary intruder, right?”
Keltron’s cold and deep voice was slightly irritated.
The Lizardman could not help but tremble at his intimidation.
The atmosphere flowing from the dragon had the power to make all living things fearful.
“Yes… Old times! We have broken the first barrier at the entrance and are now entering the dungeon!”
“Ho… You broke that barrier?”
Keltron felt curious about the unexpected report.
The barrier in this dungeon is not something that humans can easily break.
Even if it is the first barrier that is the easiest to break, it takes several days to break.
“I’m sure you guys will be a difficult enemy to deal with. What is the situation of the internal barrier?”
“Fortunately, it seems that the internal barrier cannot be lifted!”
“Kkkk… I guess I can relieve my boredom after a long time.”
Breaking the first barrier is proof that this is definitely a formidable opponent.
However, it is meaningless unless the internal barrier can be resolved.
Because the internal barrier had the power to weaken anyone who was not a soldier of the Demon King’s army.
“Then… What should we do?”
The Lizardman looked at Keltron with an expression as if begging for mercy.
This is because the intruder felt that the low-level monsters were not at a level that he could deal with.
But the voice of the resurrected dead was cold.
“Show your loyalty to the Demon King.”
From Keltron’s perspective, the Lizardmen were no different from ants.
It was a slightly useful ant, nothing more or less.
“Ha… But… “
“The Demon King’s barrier is perfect. “Then you probably know why the intruder came here, right?”
The Lizardman recalled the order given a few days ago.
‘Make the humans attack the dragons. Just make sure you never get caught.’
Instead of Keltron, who died and was unable to polymorph, monsters such as Lizardmen used their wisdom to carry out the orders.
He is now being held responsible for failing to follow orders.
In the end, even though it sounded like a death sentence, the Lizardman had no choice but to leave with a fearful expression on his face.
“It’s interesting to see what kind of guy he is. “I never thought I would fight my own people after I die.”
A human and a dragon trying to break up.
Of the two, only the dragon can break the barrier so quickly.
Thinking like that, Keltron felt his fighting spirit gradually revive.
