Chapter 49 – I Answer the Queen’s Call.
“Oh! The spirit is moving!”
“A spirit?”
The snake spirit came next to this golem and called it a spirit.
“Who woke me up.”
“I said.”
“How did the golem wake up.!”
When the turtle-shaped statue spoke, the lich was surprised and hid behind me.
“Oooh… I’m not a golem, I’m a spirit.”
“Spirit… Then I guess you know him…”
The turtle-shaped spirit that woke up saw the snake-shaped spirit that I pointed to.
At the place where the snake-shaped spirit was also summoned, it approached the turtle spirit and shook its tail as if it was the first time seeing the same spirit.
“Hello!”
“Oooh… It’s a little spirit.”
“Why are you here?”
“The contract was signed here.”
“This must be a dungeon.!”
The skeleton was also answering as if it could hear the turtle spirit.
“That’s right. I am a spirit summoned by the power of the Demon King. But it seems that the Demon King who summoned me is already dead.”
“If it was the demon king from before… The demon king of the rocks…! He was definitely killed by demons.”
The skeleton was surprised and looked at the presence of the spirit with interest.
“He’s dead. Then you can say the contract is over.”
“Are you done? Are you going back to the spirit world?”
“Oooh… I have to go back, but… I don’t have the magic power to go back. This is the Demon World. The only beings who can gather magic power are the devil king and demons.”
“I see!”
The snake-shaped spirit is both curious and surprised.
However, from my perspective, skeletons and spirits were neither interesting nor surprising.
I don’t know if there’s a beauty so sexy that it makes me cringe, but I’m not interested in stone turtles like this.
“Oooooh… You… I feel connected to the spirit. Make a contract with me~”
“I don’t like it~”
I reflexively rejected the Turtle Spirit’s contract.
It was obvious that my life would become frustrating if I walked around with such a huge guy.
It was even burdensome to be seen by others, unlike the snake-shaped spirit.
The lich over there definitely looked bad looking as he was tapping the stone turtle with his staff.
“Oooh… Why? It’s okay if you sign with me~”
“No~ I don’t like it because it’s big and stuffy. By the way, I already have a partner.”
“If you make a contract with a strong spirit, you can learn high-level spirit magic. I am even stronger than that little spirit over there~ Now, choose me~”
“The spirit is trying to take my place!”
The snake-shaped spirit instinctively realized that the stone turtle spirit was a bully. The snake spirit ran towards the stone turtle and got angry, spitting out the water she was holding in her mouth.
“It tickles, little spirit. Now, make a contract with me.”
It seems that the stone turtle spirit that consumed demonic water is different from ordinary spirits. There seemed to be no consideration for his fellow countrymen if it was for his own gain.
“I’m not buying it.”
“Wooooo! Please help me escape from the demon world. Then, I will be your strength in the future.”
“I heard there’s already a spirit by my side to help me.”
“Woooh! There’s nothing we can do… It’s a forced contract! Spirit Predation!”
“Ah!! Save me, Jageun!!”
“Spirit!”
The stone turtle spirit sucked the snake spirit whole. The sudden attack immediately unleashed blood magic.
“You bastard! Bring back the spirit!”
“Oooh… I ate the contracted spirit. It’s like I now have magical power. You’ll have to send magical energy to this little spirit, so I’ll be sure to bite it.”
“Turtle… I can’t forgive.”
I hit him hard with the ohama made with blood magic.
‘Give me my cleaning tools!’
But it doesn’t budge. It is truly as firm and hard as a rock.
I was the only one who was tired, and he was laughing and saying ‘ooh’.
No matter how much I hit it, it was no use. He was tired, so he made Ohamma a chair and sat down.
“Ha… Haha… If this happens… I’m sorry, spirit, I’m giving up.”
“Oooooh… Huh? What do you mean? Are you abandoning the spirit that was with you?”
“It’s unfortunate, but it’s okay because you can just summon the spirit again. It was a noble sacrifice, snake spirit. I will never forget it. Let’s go, Mr. Rich.”
“Huh? It looks like something quite difficult has happened… By the way, is it okay to leave this spirit at the entrance?”
“It’s okay. Let’s draw attention to this stone turtle. Then there will be fewer enemies entering the dungeon.”
“I see. As expected, Master Mine uses ingenious tactics differently than I expected. I understand. Where are you going this time?”
“This time…”
“Wait! I spit out the little spirit again! I made a mistake!”
The turtle opened its mouth in confusion. And the limp snake spirit escaped.
“Ugh. I almost died!”
“You survived?”
The turtle spirit spit out the snake spirit and pretended to regret its mistake.
“I’m not trying to get something big from you. I want to return to the spirit world. That’s all, so please don’t abandon me.”
The turtle cried. To be exact, it was a spirit that caused dirt to flow and accumulate on the floor.
It’s a spirit that wants to go home.
It looked pitiful. It looked like it had been staying here for quite some time.
“Spirit, how about signing a contract?”
“Ugh. My story is being taken away. But it’s okay! All spirits are friends!”
The snake spirit says it’s okay. It seemed like a burden, but the truth was that his strength was too strong.
Since I don’t have any combat skills, I thought it would be a lot of help even if there was just a tank turtle to fight from the front.
“Their turtle. I’ll give you a contract.”
“Soil… Soil… Is it really…”
“Instead, listen carefully. If you bother, you will be kicked out immediately.”
“I’m good at staying still. I’m confident I won’t bother you.”
I approached the guy with a satisfactory answer.
I closed my eyes and used blood magic. I remembered the feeling when I first summoned the water drop spirit.
I shoved that power into the turtle spirit’s mouth.
“Oooooh.”
When I put it in his mouth, he trembles.
‘Something seems wrong…!’
The skin of the turtle that consumed the blood magic began to crack as if it was experiencing a drought.
The bright eyes disappeared and there was no movement.
-Knock
“Hey. Is he dead?”
When he struck his face, it turned into sand and flowed down.
The snake spirit saw this and was shocked and avoided me and went behind the skull.
“Did you kill the spirit?”
“. I’m scared.”
“Oh… No, I didn’t kill him!”
Even though the two couldn’t even see each other, they became a team and pushed me.
Meanwhile, the top of my head became heavy.
When I looked up, I saw a small turtle sitting on top of my head.
“Wooooo… My body has become lighter. Now I can return to the spirit world with just a little magical power. Thank you.”
“It’s alive!”
The snake spirit was happy to see the smaller turtle spirit and approached it.
“Spirit.”
“Why?”
“Oooh what?”
“Not you.”
“Me?”
“Is it me? Oh, wow.”
They both spoke at the same time and looked at me.
Since there were two spirits, it seemed like they needed a name.
As I left the entrance of the dungeon and entered the first room again, I thought about their names.
If it’s just a turtle or snake, it doesn’t seem to exist. I wanted to give it a name that would make it look cool.
“Okay, from now on, your name is Hyeonmu.”
“Oooooh.! I understand.”
“You are the blue dragon.”
“I’m a blue dragon?”
From now on, I decided to call it that to avoid confusion.
“Hyeonmu.”
“Something.”
“Get off your head. Now you can fly like a blue dragon.”
“Yes. But I am an immovable spirit with the power of the earth. I do not move easily.”
“Where was the contract cancellation?”
“Now that I see it, walking on all fours doesn’t seem so bad. Tskcha…”
No matter how you look at Hyeonmu, who drank the demonic water, he looked delirious.
“Hyeonmu, I have a question to ask. What did you do while guarding the dungeon?”
“They buried the body underground.”
“Bury the body in the ground?”
“That’s right… When a battle takes place in a dungeon, a lot of corpses pile up. Then, it was my job to dig up the ground and bury the corpses.”
“In other words, you’re good at digging and filling the ground, right?”
“Yes.”
“Dig here.”
As soon as the location and dimensions were revealed through blood magic, the ground was dug into a square shape.
“It’s amazing. It’s like the land just disappeared.”
“Something like this is easier than moving your body.”
“This. Is great.?”
I thought I could make something like a trap through Hyeonmu.
***
The female demon king, exhausted from the large-scale summoning, went into her boss’ room and took her rest.
And as her body recovered, her eyes slowly opened.
“… I don’t have time for this.”
I didn’t know when the demons would strike. Although she entrusted the matter to the Majin, she could not trust him from beginning to end.
It seemed like it was his first time in the dungeon, and he even looked weak. Once I recovered a little, I had to fix the first room.
“Move.”
A demon king who can move freely within the dungeon. He appeared in the first room at once.
“Wow!”
And when he saw that the floor was several hundred meters away, his body began to fall vertically.
“Kyaaa!!”
-Chuck.
“Are you okay, Demon King?”
He fell down and was picked up by someone.
It was a mine to receive with both hands.
The Demon King looked up while being held by the Demon.
“Why. Is it in a pit.!? Ah. No, why is there a pit!”
“I was making a trap.”
“Trap.”
The Demon King swallowed slightly as he looked at the countless blood-red holes on the floor.
He was entrusted with the first room, but the entire room was made into a trap.
He was a demon king who was both absurd and surprising.
“Did you make something this huge by yourself?”
“I only did the digging.”
“Why did you turn the first room itself into a trap.!”
“I heard that the number of enemies is large. So I thought we should prepare a trap of this size.”
“The depth that can be made so easily.!”
The devil is speechless due to a huge pit trap.
‘Is this a simple trap in the world of demons?…!’
What was even funnier was that he made such a big deal out of it and then said it in such a simple way that it was absurd.
At first, I thought that no matter how much of a demon it was, if it was better at serving two people than other summoned creatures, it would do its job for three people.
But that was a wrong idea. The Mine in front of her was showing more than that.
“Demon King, have you come?”
“Rich.”
Instead of a skull staff, the lich was holding a blood awl and stabbing it into the floor one by one. The monsters summoned nearby were in the same situation.
“Will you help me too, Demon King? Now, take it here.”
It is a small muscle that creates dozens of blood-red awls in an instant and gives them to the devil.
The Demon King was dumbfounded and accepted them.
“Well, you can just stick it like this. If it falls like this and the enemy survives, won’t they definitely die because of the thorns?”
“I guess so…”
The Demon King, who listened to and sympathized with the Demon King, imitated his actions without even knowing it.
