Dungeon Monsters Keep Offering Sacrifices

13 – Impoverishment and Regret (1)

I thought the first dungeon conquest would end smoothly.

After defeating them, they must have gone out to eat a delicious meal, smiling like always.

I never thought about failure.

I definitely thought so and I had no doubt about it.

However, the tragedy came suddenly.

Ronnie’s body fell like a doll due to the flying arrow.

“aaah!”

Jane couldn’t stop screaming when she saw Ronnie like that.

This must be a dream, right? Yes?

Yes, this is not reality.

Jane, frozen in her seat, consoled herself and denied reality.

“Ronnie!”

Denver shouted and ran to Ronnie.

“Denver! We have to get out now! “You have to go out and get treatment!”

Jane cried, shaking Denver’s body.

Despite her urging, Denver quietly shook his head.

The arrow went straight through Ronnie’s head.

Ronnie has already died.

She looked like she didn’t know why this happened to her.

There was no way to reverse his death here.

So what should we do now?

One person has already died.

The dungeon was more challenging than I thought.

The right option might be to hold Jane’s hand and get out of this damn dungeon right now.

Staying here in a situation where you don’t know when another arrow will fly was like asking me to kill you.

Denver held Jane’s hand.

It was a signal to go outside.

“No….”

But Jane had different ideas from Denver.

“I… “I’m going to keep going.”

Jane, who had already stopped crying, shook off Denver’s hand and stood up.

Her expression changed.

“I will destroy this dungeon. “I’m going to kill the monsters!”

She lost her parents to monsters when she was young.

She thought she would never be in such a miserable situation again.

Today, I lost my only family member, Ronnie.

That also applies to monsters.

But one thing was different from then.

When I was young, I had no power and could only watch my parents die, but now it is different.

She had the power to take revenge, her magic.

“Shield.”

As Jane chanted her spell, a blue curtain unfolded in front of her.

Now I was able to block the arrows.

Of course I was afraid.

However, the feeling of revenge was more overwhelming than the feeling of fear.

“Jane! Let’s get out of here first. “You can take revenge later!”

Despite Denver’s persuasion, Jane simply walked forward in silence.

In the first place, she didn’t have the option of running away.

“Miss, it’s dangerous….”

But since he couldn’t leave her alone, Denver followed after her.

* · * *

“That’s right!”

The skeleton archer stationed in area 1 defeated one intruder.

It was an accurate headshot!

“Wow, the Death Knight Blessing is really a scam?”

Originally, the accuracy rate of a skeleton archer with only a 2-star rating was not very high.

But.

– Accuracy increases with the Death Knight’s blessing.

This was possible because he received an accuracy buff through the Death Knight’s blessing.

“I’m sure I can use the Death Knight equally.”

Not only did it have a high spec of 5 stars, but it also had the same undead type buff. And since he even had the skill to kill the opponent and turn them into a ghoul, it was a power that could be used in many ways.

On the other hand, thanks to these intruders, we were also able to find the problems in the dungeon.

– Attacks are not possible because the field of view is not clear.

When the intruders first came in, they tried to attack with bows, but they failed.

The reason was that it was too dark to see.

“I’m glad the intruders lit their torches.”

Thanks to this, I was able to shoot the arrow toward the revealed location.

Even if I couldn’t catch it with a bow, I didn’t worry because there were additional skeletons and Death Knights in my dungeon.

“Once we defeat the intruders, I’ll put some torches on the wall.”

In some ways, it may have been fortunate that this event occurred now.

If I had overlooked this loophole without knowing it, the future would have been difficult.

“There are more detailed elements than I thought.”

Just a moment of admiration.

The intruders, who had stopped for a moment after losing their comrades, began to move again.

“But the game still has a conscience.”

It was a dungeon that received the same rating.

Even though there were 6-star monsters, they were of the same level, so it was fortunate for me as I was nervous about how strong the monsters would attack.

“This time, let’s deal with people other than archers.”

The intruders this time did not seem very strong. No, rather, I felt like a beginner among beginners.

I had no intention of dealing with it right away.

I will play with it as much as I can and then finish it.

At the same time, I was planning to check all the monsters I had.

That way, you will know which guys to focus on training.

“Okay. “Let’s give it a go.”

* · * *

Jane and Denver continued walking.

Fortunately, no additional arrows flew.

Even so, Jane kept her shield on because she didn’t know if it would come flying out of nowhere.

Magic power was consumed in real time, but thanks to the artifact, it was not a big problem.

“This is…” ?”

I continued walking and soon came to an open place.

And there I saw skeletons.

“There are too many… !”

Denver was in despair.

No matter how many skeletons were the lowest level monsters, there were too many of them.

What’s more, haven’t they just become adventurers?

But I couldn’t back out of here.

The moment you show your back, not only will they shoot you with an arrow, but they will all rush at you.

I had no choice.

I had no choice but to fight back as much as I could and then run away when I saw the opportunity.

Denver adjusted his sword.

Jane also completed her preparations to use her magic.

Clatter-clatter-

The skeletons began to move.

Those who rushed in first were holding old swords.

“Pfft.”

Even with Jane’s shield, it was not enough to block Denver alone from that many swords.

However, the enemies may have had other intentions, and the skeletons that were clashing swords suddenly retreated.

“… ….”

This time, skeletons holding wooden sticks stepped forward.

Fortunately, the number was not large.

“You’re a wizard! Be careful!”

Zane shouted after feeling a slight magical power from the opponent’s skeleton.

However, the skeletons approached swinging sticks instead of magic.

After swinging it in the air a few times, it just returned to its original position.

“…… ?”

What can I say?

I felt like I was playing with him as a joke.

But Denver took it differently.

‘These bastards…’ ‘They’re playing with us.’

Maybe the enemy monsters were caught off guard.

If we guide this well, wouldn’t we be able to find a way to escape?

Tung-

But that was a mistake.

A being with everything from the sword to the armor dyed black had invaded.

“What!”

A monster that suddenly appeared.

From its momentum to its appearance, it was on a different level from a simple skeleton.

‘Why is this guy here…? ?’

It is clearly an iron-grade dungeon.

But the being in front of me was definitely not someone who should be here.

The momentum of the monster in front was so great that even I, who had just become an adventurer, could tell.

I might die.

I might die!

I felt like I couldn’t breathe just by that guy’s presence.

The monster swung her hand towards Jane’s unfolded shield.

“aaah!”

The shield was torn apart like paper.

At the same time, Jane bounced and hit the wall.

“Jane! Are you okay?!”

It was a grim situation.

Now the monster’s attack will be directed at you.

“… ….”

I was waiting, thinking it was my turn, but as time passed, the being in front of me just stayed still and did not attack.

‘What is it?’

When that question arises.

Clap clap-

Someone appeared clapping.

“She only fainted for a moment, but luckily her life was not in danger.”

A woman appeared.

She was a very attractive woman, but the horns on her head made it easy to tell that she was a monster.

“Are you the owner of this place?”

Denver responded, wary of his opponent.

In every dungeon, there was either a master who ruled it or a monster that was a boss.

Fortunately, the person who appears to be the owner of this place seemed to be intelligent.

In Denver, a story came to mind among adventurers.

It was said that if the dungeon owner was intelligent, he could make a deal.

It is said that someone earned gold and silver treasure through the transaction, and someone else even saved their life by paying them in return.

“Deal, let’s make a deal!”

Denver immediately proposed a deal.

They didn’t know if there would be a way to survive in their current situation.

For a moment, hope arose that I had never had before.

“Ho… How dare you propose a deal even in this situation? “That courage is commendable.”

The other person just admired it and clapped a few more times.

“Are you kidding me?”

Denver was angry at the sight of his opponent like that.

“Is that possible? “I really like courageous men.”

“… ….”

“But trade is only possible when there is something to give and receive. “What is the name of the man there?”

“Denver.”

The being in front of me smiled slightly and corrected its posture.

Then he bowed politely and introduced himself.

“I will formally introduce you. My name is Celia, the first servant of the Most High. “Currently, we are managing the current dungeon according to his will.”

“The Supreme One… ?”

Denver pondered what the person who introduced herself as Celia had said.

Serving someone ultimately means….

“Is there a separate owner of the dungeon?”

“You’re quick-witted. hehehehe. You’re right. I am just his representative. “The person who manages the dungeon is my master.”

Denver was quick to notice and shouted in a loud voice.

“We request a fair deal from the dungeon owner!”

Celia frowned at Denver’s behavior.

She was irritated by the way she was treated so rudely after daring to enter the master’s dungeon.

“Ha… “I can’t help it.”

The other party requested a transaction from the owner.

No matter how much Celia herself had authority over the dungeon, this was a matter for the master to choose.

You may have the option of taking matters into your own hands, but that would mean going against your master.

“To the Supreme Master, a lowly servant dares to speak to the Master.”

Celia said as she looked into space.

“Please give me orders as to what to do with these foolish beings who have invaded your dungeon.”

***

“Disposal of intruders?”

As expected, the intruder was easily subdued.

Of course, along the way she learned the uselessness of being a skeleton bottle love magic practitioner.

So she immediately deployed the Death Knight.

I thought this was the end, but suddenly an intruder proposed a deal.

– Would you like to make a deal?

She immediately pressed ‘No’.

“Am I crazy? What a fair deal. “Are you angry at your conscience because they attacked you?”

First of all, an example was needed.

“But how do I give orders?”

At that moment, a window appeared on the game screen.

– [Command] Please write what you want to say.

Oh, descriptive.

There was no system for selecting a view.

Are you sure you will understand what I write?

I immediately wrote down the command there.

“Make me regret coming to my dungeon.”

It was a bold and short command.

I am satisfied with this level.

Then the guys in the dungeon will take care of it.

Anyway, I’m starting to feel hungry.

Should we finish the game here and have something to eat?

* · * *

“The master answered me.”

Gulp.

Denver looked at Celia nervously.

“Now, please come here.”

From noble mtl dot com

Celia snapped her fingers and three goblins burst out from among the group of skeletons.

“What is this…?” ?”

Wasn’t it a deal?

Why are there goblins all of a sudden?

Denver’s mind became complicated.

“hehehe. “The master doesn’t like you coming here.”

It was said that there was no transaction as expected.

‘Lies!’

I wish all of this was actually a dream.

Denver was in despair.

“Don’t be ridiculous! “We just came here!”

They did nothing wrong.

All I had to do was fulfill the guild’s request and enter the dungeon.

But it wasn’t the other person’s idea.

“The problem is that that place was the bosom of the Supreme One.”

Celia said as if it was obvious and looked at the goblin.

“Okay then, shall we begin now?”

As soon as Celia finished speaking, three goblins approached the fallen Jane.

There were no weapons in their hands, but Denver instinctively shouted.

“Stop it!”

But the sounds he shouted only echoed and were useless.

“No!”

Amid Denver’s screams, the goblins began tearing Jane’s clothes.
