Chapter 48 – I Answer the Queen’s Call.
The Demon King and the Demon Man made a contract. Unlike the monsters that responded to the summons through the summoning circle, it was a promise made only to the two of them.
The summoned monsters who were watching were surprised, and the lich guarding the Demon King was also surprised and broke into a cold sweat on the spot.
The fact that the Demon King makes a contract is proof that he is equal to him in the Demon World. In short, it was like saying there were two demon lords in one dungeon.
“Demon King. Are you okay?”
“What do you mean?”
As the Demon King tried to enter her room, her aide, Rich, looked on with pity.
“No matter how much of a demon race you are, you give up the noble demon king’s body to a summoned entity.”
“It doesn’t matter. As long as I can protect my dungeon, the terms of the contract are nothing. It’s better that I don’t have to ask for the entire dungeon core.”
In the demon world, it was not surprising if a dungeon suddenly collapsed. Because there were always battles and wars, each and every being with combat power was precious.
“And this time… We must at least borrow the power of the demon race.”
“The 67th-ranked demon, Baron Amdu… Is by no means an opponent to take lightly. Compared to him, we…”
The female queen of fear and death. Her status was that she was a demon lord outside the top 50 who was not even considered a demon lord.
Currently, she was ranked 90th and everyone was calling her the new devil.
“I can feel the army of demons approaching… If I want to survive… I, too, must be prepared to sacrifice myself. Lich.”
“Great! Lord of fear and death! I did not dare to know your deep meaning!”
Sacrifice! Impressed, Richie buried her head on the floor, showing off her trembling frame.
The horned female lord beckoned lightly and entered her own room.
As she disappeared from her sight, the lich floated in the air, her red eyes glowing.
“Demon race… I will be watching… If you make your resolve with the Demon King in vain, I will destroy you forever even if it means sacrificing my body.”
The lich opened the black space and headed to the first room that the Demons were in charge of.
***
“Hmm. Please guard the first room.”
Dungeon protection aka dungeon defense. She enjoyed those types of phone games sometimes.
It was a game where you filled a room with monsters and designed traps to block enemy attacks.
She didn’t know she would actually do it.
Protecting the dungeon was simple when it was simple, and difficult when it was difficult.
It would be even more difficult to block the enemies in the first room I was in charge of, it would be like hell.
‘I can’t believe something like this happens when I have almost no fighting ability.’
This summoning seems like a big deal.
“Krrr! Demon race!”
“Huh?”
While I was sitting in the middle of the first room, a green-skinned monster approached me.
It resembles an orc seen in a fantasy world.
When I looked at the muscles that looked like they were about to burst, they looked strong enough to make a pepper shrivel.
“My name is the Orc Warrior Krrrr. Let’s fight!”
“I don’t like it.”
They say let’s fight like hell. Given how much of a difference in weight class there was, it was clear that a single blow would result in blood clots.
“I hate it! I doubt whether you are strong! Show your strength!”
“Show your strength!”
“Show me! Kuwak!”
Not only that orc, but even other monsters gave strength to the orc’s words.
“I want to see if they are strong enough to sacrifice our lives for! No matter how strong the demon race is, I won’t believe it unless I see it with my own eyes!”
I wanted to avoid a fight, but it seemed difficult to avoid.
There was also a promise to have sex with the Queen.
The Queen Mother said that one must take full responsibility for what happens in the room.
“Okay. Let’s do it.”
“Krrrr.! Whether the strength of those who spoke of legends is real or false. You will find out when you fight! Let’s fight! Demons!!”
An orc running with the words to fight.
I dodged backwards as much as possible while looking at the direction.
-Whoop! Boom!!!
‘Huh!! Crazy orc!!’
The dirt floor was shattered when I hit it with my fist.
“Kk… Are they avoiding battle!? I doubt if they are the demons we were so afraid of…”
“Tsk.”
I got caught. I can’t believe I recognized my combat power right away.
Now there seemed to be no escape.
All I can do is do my best to survive.
‘Spirit summoning. Blood magic.’
“Oh! Green pig!”
A snake-shaped spirit appeared.
I put my will into the blood drops and shed them into the air.
-Suppress him!
“Yes!”
The spirit created a spray of water in the air.
“Krrr… You must have been a wizard! Otherwise, you wouldn’t have been able to avoid my attack!”
He nodded as if he understood and took out the huge ax behind his back and grabbed it.
‘Crazy. Holding that big thing with one hand.’
He lifted the ugly, blood-stained giant ax with one hand.
It keeps its stance low and runs at a gallop, almost like a wild boar.
Jageun twisted his body and scattered spirit spray.
However, the Orc breaks through even small sprays by showering them with his entire body.
“Die.”
With a small word, the ax is lowered diagonally.
-Boom!!
The sound of bombing rings out and a large amount of dust rises.
“Krrr!!!”
In the dust, he lets out a roar of victory, saying that he has won.
-I haven’t lost yet. Oak.
“Eup!?”
The orc looked around the dusty surroundings as the words of the Demon tribe echoed in his head.
-Back!
“Back!?”
-Puck!!!
“Kaaah!!! Kkkk!?”
When the Orc turned around after hearing the Majin’s words, a projectile flew from the front, which was the direction he had originally looked, and hit him in the back of the head.
“Uh. Where are you? Hehe!! Don’t hide!”
-It’s on the left.
“Left!? Gagging!!”
This time, the orc looks to the left.
But spray coming from the right.
“Uh. Where! Where on earth are they attacking!!! Krrrr!!”
-Left! Right! Down, up, down, up and down!
Mine’s voice echoes in my head amidst the thick mud smoke.
The orc honestly only looked at the place Mine was talking about.
All-Him Muscle Orc was a warrior among warriors who only believed in what he saw and what he heard.
“Gagging!”
“Kaaak!”
“Keek!!”
“Stop!! Stop!! I lost!”
-Thump.
The orc warrior, Krr, who had become a heavyweight, could not hold out any longer and fell to his knees.
“Heo-eok. Heo-eok.”
“Is this surrender?”
“Ha. Surrender. Krrr.”
When the thick dust cleared, he looked up at Jageun, who was holding red axes in his hands, and put down his axe.
“Demons. Demons! Demons!”
“Devils! Demons! Demons!”
“To beat the Named Grrr.! After all, he is a black-haired demon!”
Richie watched the battle at the scene.
My spine straightened when I saw what happened in the first room.
‘That Grrr who doesn’t know surrender is losing!’
The Mines were clearly being pushed back by the Orcs.
However, the results were different after the dust disappeared.
It was the orc who looked like a loser with his head down.
I couldn’t believe what had happened in such a short period of time even when I saw it with my own eyes.
“I fought you, so now I’m calm.”
“Krrr. I understand. Demons. If you are stronger than me, I will follow you.”
The loser decides to actively follow his words.
A diet of the fittest. It was the way of the demon world.
Meanwhile, Ja-geun sighed inwardly.
‘Whew… I’m glad I’m a muscle idiot.’
Orc knew from the game that despite his excellent body, he was not very smart.
When I actually saw it, it seemed like my intelligence was lower than expected.
To a certain extent, if I just relayed the massage using blood magic, everyone would believe me.
So the orc was no different from a dartboard.
What does it matter whether it’s muscles or anything else when you’re getting hit one-sidedly? It was an orc that fell after being hit by projectiles.
“Weren’t the Demons being pushed back!?”
“That’s right! Why. Grrr is on his knees.!”
“No way… It was a fight I was supposed to win, but Mine was playing around with it!”
“They said the demon race was a cruel being without blood or tears, and the rumor was true…!”
“Everyone, be careful! Kihi!!”
In the first room that Jageun was in charge of, the fear of the monsters gradually increased.
Discipline was established in a good sense.
After the fight, the first room became quiet again.
Jageun brushed back the hair that had fallen from the battle and turned around to head toward the dungeon entrance.
From Jageun’s perspective, he had not yet won the invasion of his enemies.
If you imagine that guys like those orcs are pouring in, it seems like a lot of thought will be needed in the future.
The first thing I thought was that in order to avoid breaking through the first room, I had to block the area in front of it well.
The lich was watching him with red eyes.
I wondered what he would do next. He quickly levitated in the air and caught up next to him.
“Where are you going.?”
“I’m going to see the dungeon entrance.”
“Why that place.”
“It seems difficult to take out all the enemies in the first room. So, we will try to use the room a little wider.”
“I see.”
“Hmm. Are there any traps in the dungeon?”
“There are some traps, but they have never been very useful. The enemies also use the same summoning circle as us, so if you think that a lot of summons will come, it will be useless no matter how many traps are waiting for you.”
“I see.”
It seemed difficult to use traps.
Of course, I don’t know if there is a surprisingly large trap, but there was no way that I, who came to the dungeon today, could have made a trap of that scale.
It seems that another method is needed to subdue the constantly pouring in of enemies such as orcs.
“By any chance, what abilities do the Demon King possess?”
“The Demon King’s power is fear and death. It makes enemies more likely to feel the fear of death.”
“… And then.”
“Yes?”
“And isn’t there something else? Like destroying the enemies or using tremendous force or magic.”
“Ah. The only demon kings like that are in the top 50. Our demon lord is ranked 90th because he just took over.”
As I looked at the turtle, I slowly began to think that I needed to find a way to escape.
‘I just came here to have sex, but I never thought something like this would happen.’
Once again, I was missing Selina and Professor Scarlett’s conditions.
“Hmm? What is this?”
“I am guessing it is a golem. I think it is an ancient weapon used by the former Demon King.”
“Golem…”
It has the shape of a stone turtle and looks quite sturdy, so it seemed like it could wipe out most enemies with just this thing.
“It is probably an ancient weapon, so its destructive power is enormous. However, I touched it several times with interest, but it did not budge.”
“I see… It would have been nice if I could have used it.”
Jageun approached the golem and tapped it.
“Uuuuung.!”
“Uh. Huh?”
“And. The golem is moving.!”
