Chapter 50 – I Answer the Queen’s Call.
The open floor of the first room.
When I looked down in the dark, the bottom was covered in blood-red thorns.
I was sure that anyone who fell to the floor would die instantly.
However, the female demon king had doubts about who would suffer something like this.
“Hyeonmu.”
Those doubts were completely dispelled by Mine’s next actions.
With Mine’s word, the floor of the first room was created.
Just like the original floor of the first room. Looking at it this way, it wasn’t much different from the floor of an ordinary dungeon.
“It’s a great ability, Myne.”
“For the Demon King, these things are no big deal.”
Unlike her, Ja-geun was favored by the Demon King. She knew that if she showed a good image and abilities, her chances of getting a perfect score increased, so she showed the work as much as possible in front of the devil.
“Demon King, we are ready to face the enemies in the first room.”
“At this level, even a high-level devil would have a hard time taking my core.”
It was a female demon queen who was so satisfied that her noble head nodded.
Using her brain was something most summoning creatures couldn’t do, but it seemed satisfying to do it for her.
“Is there anything else going on?”
“If it’s something else…”
“Anything is fine. That’s how much I can get rewarded for.”
“Then… Since you seem to be good at handling dirt, can you take a look inside the dungeon?”
“Of course. Please guide me to the problem area.”
“Follow me.”
I followed the female demon king deep into the dungeon.
There was an eerie feel to the dungeon as I walked, but it felt worse than Professor Scarlett’s mansion.
The flying skull said that the female demon queen was currently ranked 90th, but she certainly did not seem to be a strong demon queen.
“How did you become the devil who runs the dungeon?”
“I too am a being who inherited the blood of the Demon King. It is an unavoidable fate.”
“Fate.”
“When the time comes, the demon king’s body and core are separated. They become living together like that. As you can see, in the demon world, there are countless people aiming for this core. Demons, monsters… Even the same demon king approaches, aiming for the core.”
“We are building a dungeon to protect that.”
The only reason for creating a dungeon was to protect oneself.
Just as humans created a skeleton and flesh to protect areas such as the heart, the Demon King also created a dungeon to live his life as best as possible.
“I want you to look here.”
“This is…”
It was a prison. It was a very dirty and smelly place that I didn’t even want to go into.
“The prison is so shabby that if you trap enemies in it, they all run away. I hope it’s made stronger.”
“I understand.”
First, I had the blue dragon clean with water for cleanliness.
As the waves swept over the entire prison, it became a sparkling prison.
“… It’s cleaner than my room.”
This is the female demon king who is amazed to see the prison that has changed with the water. The reaction was fun and made me enjoy working.
“Working with minerals is easy. Wow.”
Of course, it doesn’t end here. I immediately had Hyeonmu smoothen the rusty iron bars and broken walls.
“The earthen wall I made is stronger than steel.”
I hit the dirt wall with my fist to see if Hyeonmu’s words were sincere.
As he said, it was my fist that hurt. Just in case, I hit it with an Ohma made with blood magic.
-Ding!
“Ugh.”
She let go of her hands due to the repulsion that resonated in her brain.
“At this level, it will be immune to most attacks.”
“It’s a good prison. Those who are caught won’t be able to escape.”
The female demon queen smiled as if she was satisfied.
This is the devil’s smile that I see for the first time today. It meant that things had their own meaning.
“Demon King! Demons are crowding in outside the dungeon!”
“… It’s time.”
The female demon queen’s smiling face became serious at the skeleton’s words.
“Devil…”
I can’t forgive the devils. You’re interfering with my happy time with the Demon King.
***
67th place The army of the evil Baron Amdu stopped at the entrance of a dungeon.
“Do we have to come all the way to the outskirts to catch the devil? Baron~”
“The Demon Lord of Fear and Death has a deep demonic bloodline. When you take out the core and taste it, it tastes sweeter than anything else.”
“Kkkk. That’s right.”
Monsters with human-like bodies and tails and horns were lined up holding armor, fork-like spears, and shields with monsters on them.
“Come on, let’s go!”
“Yes! We are moving forward!”
Front row. The animal slaves, whose necks were tied with black shackles, jumped forward as soon as they were whipped.
Demons wearing armor follow behind them.
I entered the huge entrance with black dust blowing across the black ground.
“Haha! It’s empty! As expected, there’s nothing special about the beginner Demon King! It’s going to end like this!”
“Yorurururu!!”
“Kyao!!”
Break through the first room with the sound of a strange horn.
“Commander! There is someone standing at the entrance to the next room!”
As one soldier spoke, the Baron’s close associate, a female demon riding a six-legged monster, looked toward the entrance to the passage.
A man with black hair and wearing an unusual outfit.
“Bug. There’s nothing special. Just step on it and pass by.”
“Yes! Just charge in!”
At the deputy commander’s command, break through the first empty room and run to the man.
Jageun, who was leisurely watching the room pouring in, slowly shouted as numerous monsters rushed in front of him.
“Turn over.”
-Whoop!
As soon as those words were finished, the flat floor of the first room turned 180 degrees.
When the floor turned over, a clean floor appeared again.
“Woohu~ It’s neat?”
Ja-geun blocks the first attack with ease and then sits back down on the chair made of clay.
“I can’t believe this is possible.”
The summoned beings who were watching the sizable army running down the passage trembled in fear.
However, seeing the demon army disappear before my eyes changed my fear.
A black-haired demon.
With one word from him, the entire demon army fell into the trap.
‘It’s the same team, but it’s a terrible opponent.’
What he said was that there were only a few awls stuck in the bottom of that trap.
At first, everyone criticized Mine but ignored him.
But when it came to fruition, everyone thought it was a good thing they listened to him.
-Puck Seeing!
“There is a living opponent.”
There was a hole in the middle of the quiet floor.
A devil with black wings flapping jumped out of the hole and flew in front of the passage.
“You’re using such a shallow trick!”
The enraged female devil swung her sword while looking at her sword.
“Krrr!”
However, an orc with green skin appeared in front of him and blocked his sword.
“Now leave it to me, Mine!”
“Please.”
Jageun, who didn’t even get up from his chair, decided to watch the one-on-one battle between the orc and the devil.
“Get out of the way! How dare this orc block my path! Aren’t you afraid of the power of the devil!”
“Krrr. The power of the devil? I don’t believe what others say! You’ll know if it’s true when you fight in person!”
The brainless warrior orc didn’t care how good the demon was at fighting. He wanted to prove his strength solely through fighting.
When the orc ax and the devil’s sword collided, the orc’s ax was instantly broken.
“Keuuk!”
“You can’t defeat me with such a flimsy weapon. Die, Orc!”
“Take it!”
When the orc, who was taking a step back, looked behind him, a double-edged ax made of blood flew out.
He grabbed the flying ax with one hand and shouted.
“Thank you, Mine. Hehe!”
The devil who was running at me with a single strike of the ax had all of his chest armor torn off.
“Gagging!!”
A demon defeated by a sharp and heavy blow. I endure the pain as I wobble on the floor.
“You are a weak devil.”
The orc sees the fallen demon and tries to strike again.
“Grrr! Stop!”
“Hmm? What’s going on, Mine?”
“He appears to be an enemy commander. He seems important, so it would be a good idea to capture him and throw him in prison.”
“… I understand. I will follow your instructions.”
The fallen demon was wrapped in his vines.
Jageun could not take his eyes off the trapped devil.
The face of the devil was that of a female devil with a remarkable appearance. Even the two huge breasts exposed through the broken armor were touching the male’s heartstrings.
“Preparing for the next offensive.”
“Koooh!!”
“Waaaaa!!”
No casualties… No injuries…
The first battle designed by the black-haired demon could be said to be truly a great victory.
***
“The dungeon is quiet, Baron.”
“Hmm.”
The Demon Baron, who had been waiting outside the dungeon for a while, started to get bored when his servant Lovell did not come out.
“Let’s go in. Seeing that no messenger is coming, I guess they are excited and robbing the dungeon.”
“Robel is bothering you. Go check it out!”
“I understand! Baron!”
At the Baron’s words, another commander led his soldiers and entered the dungeon.
-Chuck. Chuck.
An eerie silence. I wasn’t nervous if there was even the slightest hint of popularity.
“Concentrate. I feel bad!”
“Yes!”
The commander looked around without realizing it.
The first room you enter like that.
The commander demon looked around the large empty room and raised his hand in the middle of the first room.
The soldiers’ advance was stopped.
“It’s a trap. I heard it’s a beginner demon lord. Is there someone behind it?”
I heard that a demon king with a famous lineage will provide a little support when his child becomes independent as a demon king.
This dungeon seemed highly likely.
A room with nothing in it. And the troops who do not return…
It was clear that the dungeon was full of traps.
“There’s someone sitting in the aisle!”
As the soldier in front shouted, the commander demon also looked at the identified location.
“Black hair.?”
It was a man who looked magnified when he focused.
The man began to look at the soldiers here.
“Why did you come now? I thought you were going to die of boredom.”
The man smiled. At that moment, the commander experienced the world turning upside down.
