Dungeon Monsters Keep Offering Sacrifices

15 – Mid-Boss 5★ Death Knight

An adventurer’s guild located in the Kingdom of Seil.

Today, the inside of the guild office was crowded with adventurers.

They were all in the same place, but had different dreams.

One adventurer wanted to gain fame by raising his level.

Someone else dreamed of turning their life around by acquiring gold and silver treasures.

Although there are a very small number of people, there were some who became adventurers simply because they liked to wander around.

When everyone dreams of different dreams and draws a hopeful future.

On one side, there was someone sitting with a gloomy expression.

It was the guild guide, Lali.

If she wanted to know the reason for her moodiness, she had to go back a week.

A week ago, three of her adventurers came to visit her guide.

All three were iron grade newbies who had just become adventurers.

And they asked if there were any dungeons left….

Was her judgment wrong?

I introduced an iron grade dungeon, specifically a dungeon that was of the same grade but was scheduled to be downgraded to iron grade in a few days anyway.

It was a dungeon that would soon drop to iron grade anyway, and since the opposing adventurers were also iron grade, I left it to them without any hesitation.

But that wasn’t the right answer.

Although a week has passed, there has still been no contact from the adventurers.

‘Could it be that he didn’t die in the dungeon?’

Usually one week is the standard after receiving a dungeon request.

If there is no contact during that period, the guild will conduct its own dungeon investigation.

This wasn’t something the guild did because they had spare time.

There was an incident related to a dungeon in the past.

A dungeon that grew on the blood of adventurers due to repeated subjugation failures.

The dungeon continued to grow and eventually created the worst monster wave ever.

It was a policy created out of a sense of vigilance to manage without any neglected dungeons.

However, this only applies if the request is officially entrusted.

The problem was that the previous three adventurers were of iron level, and the dungeon she was entrusted with was still of the same level.

Lali regretted.

‘If I had known this would happen, I would have just listened to the branch manager!’

I never thought something like this would happen.

It would be better if I didn’t go into the dungeon….

‘No, wait a minute. ‘Maybe they didn’t go into the dungeon?’

Lali suddenly flashes.

The more I thought about it, the more it seemed like a reasonable idea.

There are often adventurers who give up without a word after receiving a request.

So, when the guild started to investigate a week later, there were quite a few cases where things ended up happening.

Perhaps the three people who took the dungeon request from him also gave up?

‘Well, they were newbies, right?’

As a new adventurer, she had no choice but to be timid.

So she may have given up on the dungeon request halfway through. No, she would definitely have given up.

If you have given up, it is understandable that there is no contact.

‘It must have been embarrassing to say.’

Lali thought wildly.

Maybe she will relieve her uncomfortable feelings about thinking that way.

When I got up from my seat with a more relaxed expression, I heard the voice of the branch manager.

“Ralli, what about the dungeon I was talking about back then? “That dungeon she said was going to be downgraded.”

For a moment, Lali felt nervous, but she responded as if nothing had happened.

“Oh, if it was a dungeon back then, it’s still there. “No one was looking for it.”

In fact, there was.

However, since the request was abandoned (Lalli’s claim), it was as if no one had actually found it.

The branch leader nodded at Lali’s natural lie.

“Really? “It went well.”

Her branch manager handed her one of her documents.

“An order has come from the Union Commander to officially downgrade to iron grade.”

“I understand. “Branch manager.”

It has officially become an iron-grade dungeon, so it will be out soon.

Now that there were many new adventurers, these dungeons were popular. Rather, there are probably many adventurers who waste their time due to the lack of dungeons.

‘Let’s forget about those guys. ‘He must be living well somewhere.’

If you’re so scared that you give up on dungeon requests, it probably means that this isn’t your calling.

All three probably won’t be able to become adventurers.

I was rooting for them in my heart, hoping that they would find another job quickly.

‘I hope everything you want to do goes well.’

***

I’ve been really busy.

The porter’s schedule continued without a break.

“I can definitely get things done quickly because there is a status window.”

As your experience level increases, you level up.

The stats that increase by leveling up are minimal.

Still, as long as it goes up, it will eventually have a positive effect on the porter’s job.

The presence or absence of the status window had a significant presence.

Thanks to you, I worked without a day off for a week.

Although it took a lot of effort, the income was good.

Whenever I was having a hard time, I felt happy when I saw my wallet getting thicker.

“… Should I quickly find a party?”

Before going to the El Dorad continent, I joined a party and worked as an exclusive porter.

But now, without a fixed affiliation, I entered the dungeon as soon as I could.

But I shook my head.

“No. For now, let’s just keep doing it the way we are now.”

When I worked full-time, I didn’t have a status window.

There were no people to write a half-awakened character without a status window, so I was able to join the party stably.

But it is different now.

Now there was a status window.

Besides, my goal was not to be a porter in the first place.

Because I have dreamed of entering a dungeon as a hunter.

For now, let’s just keep doing it the way we are now.

I headed straight home.

After taking a quick shower and appeasing my hunger.

It’s been a while since I played the game.

I was so busy moving around that I couldn’t pay attention to the game.

“I guess they handled those intruders well, right?”

Finally, the Death Knight was deployed and ordered to make them regret entering the dungeon.

Celia would have done well in this part.

If I couldn’t do that, I would have to step down from my position as her adjutant.

“That’s right. Now that I think about it, there were a lot of alarms….”

A few days ago, when I came out of the dungeon, game alarms popped up.

Of course, I was so busy that I couldn’t check it and deleted everything.

“You can check it now.”

As soon as the game was turned on, I immediately checked the alarm list.

The first alarm that came out was the phrase that intruders had been stopped.

– The invaders were successfully repelled.

“Oh right! There’s no way it could fall to those guys.”

I nodded and checked the following alarms.

– [Middle Boss] Unlock conditions are met!

– [Middle Boss] Unlocked!

– When there are more than 30 monsters in an area, you can designate a ‘middle boss’ for that area.

– [Middle Boss] Easily manages the loyalty of his minions.

“Middle boss?”

Well, the size of the dungeon has expanded considerably.

The size will continue to expand in the future, and it will be difficult for an adjutant to manage it all by himself.

I don’t know how the loyalty system will affect it, but it would be good if it was high.

“No way, they are trying to start a rebellion.”

Now that I’ve said anything, I wanted to choose the mid-boss.

-You can set the mid-boss of [First Tier, Area 1].

– Only monsters of 4★ or higher can be designated as [Middle Boss].

There were even detailed conditions for becoming a mid-boss.

“Then there is only one choice.”

Even if those conditions didn’t exist, there was only one choice.

I immediately clicked on Death Knight and appointed him as the mid-boss.

– The mid-boss of [First Tier, Area 1] Has been set.

[1St tier, area 1 mid-boss]

– Death Knight (★★★★★)

– The loyalty of the minions deployed in [First Tier, Area 1] Has increased.

“I feel strong.”

After setting up the adjutant and then the mid-boss, it finally felt like a dungeon.

After selecting the middle boss, I checked the next alarm.

– [Dungeon Support & Dispatch] Unlock conditions are met!

– [Dungeon Support & Dispatch] Unlocked!

– You can dispatch support or monsters to other dungeons that need help.

“Dungeon support?”

Supporting other dungeons?

Do I really need to pay attention to other dungeons?

When the question arose, the screen on TV changed.

– This is breaking news. A B-class dungeon occurred in the middle of downtown Jeju Island. The government and the Hunter Management Office immediately began raiding the dungeon, and cooperation from other guilds was desperately needed…….

“Well.”

They also request support from other guilds to easily conquer the dungeon.

Probably the dungeon in the game has a similar setting.

However, I had no intention of applying for other dungeons yet.

There was one reason.

“I don’t have any monsters to send?”

Celia is a lieutenant and a 6-star monster.

A 5-star Death Knight who is the mid-boss of Area 1.

Except for these two, there were no troops worth sending.

And I couldn’t leave those two out.

If I took it out, there was a risk that my dungeon would be robbed.

But it was not possible to send 1-star skeletons.

“Even if it were me, I would be angry if skeletons came.”

I would be angry if the dungeon was in danger and the only people who came to support me were skeletons.

I immediately touched the screen.

– Obtained the unique monster Denver (★★★).

“Huh?”

Unique monster?

It wasn’t even a species name like other monsters.

– Rating: ★★★

– Race: Ghoul

[Basic information]

Vitality: C

Attack power: D+

Defense: C-

mana: E

[Skill]

– Bite (D): Bites the opponent until they die.

– Eternal loyalty to Celia (A+): With Celia’s charm skill, you have become a state of unconditional loyalty and obedience.

“I guess unique monsters have separate names?”

Now that I think about it, the monster named Denver was also written as a ghoul.

Generally, ghouls are 2-star, but Denver’s is 3-star, so it seems to be a unique monster.

“Anyway, what is loyalty to Celia?”

When I looked at the screen, I saw a being following Celia around.

“Is this Denver?”

I was told that I was under fascination.

Could it be that Celia likes the undead like that?

Well, it’s the same monster.

As a human being, I can’t say anything about the tastes of monsters.

Perhaps he was simply a subordinate due to a lack of manpower.

“Then you think I’ve become a very vicious boss?”

It felt like a vicious owner who made his lieutenant do everything.

Well, it’s true, but that goes too far.

The game was not alive, so there was no need to go to such high-level thinking.

“It’s probably just an event.”

From noble mtl dot com

The following was quite a useful list.

– [Facility] Is unlocked.

– [Dungeon expansion] Is unlocked.

– The types of monsters that appear in [Drawing] Will increase.

“Oh!”

I am amazed several times today….

It’s because now it feels like a game.

Yes, this is how you get the pleasure of playing the game and the fun of playing wisely.

Can I finally decorate the dungeon the way I want?

I clicked on the facility.

[Facilities that can be built]

– Prison: Intruders who enter the dungeon can be imprisoned. (Acceptance 0/5)

– Adjutant’s office: This is the space where the adjutant lives and works.

– Advanced Altar: Upgrade the existing altar. (Locked)

– Hut: This is the basic space where monsters can reside. You can upgrade in the future.

– Dungeon throne: This is a seat where only the dungeon owner can sit. (Locked)

………

……

There were several other facilities, but they were all locked.

“There are more types than I thought.”

I don’t know anything else, but I thought it would be a good idea to build an adjutant’s office or a hut.

This is how I work for the monsters!

You should at least show this kind of condescension.

While I was happily thinking about what to do first, a new alarm occurred to me.

– The Adventurer’s Guild has adjusted the level of the dungeon.

– The grade of the dungeon ‘Evil God’s Nest’ will be lowered from copper grade to iron grade.

“… ?”

No, what does this mean?

What kind of bullsh*t are you talking about?

“Why is the dungeon rating dropping?”

Intruders who entered the dungeon were also neatly blocked.

And not only a 6-star lieutenant but also a 5-star death knight had been added to the dungeon.

But the grade is falling rather than rising?

“Ha… ….”

How much do you want to increase the game difficulty?

Oh, no way… ?

Are you saying that you didn’t kill the intruders right away?

Honestly, something that could have been finished quickly was dragged out by checking the performance of the monsters.

How quickly can you kill invaders in a system that adds up to map points?

Then there was nothing to say.

“I will have to kill the next ones that come in right away.”

I promised myself that I would finish it quickly next time.
