Dungeon Monsters Keep Offering Sacrifices

Chapter 27

27 – The Paladins Trapped by themselves

Aren immediately ran into the cave.

I never even thought about what was inside the cave.

The only priority was to avoid the rain.

The inside of the cave we entered was brightly lit by the fire hanging on the wall.

Is it because it rained?

Not only the walls and ceiling, but even the stone floor was wet with moisture.

Aren moved forward slowly, strengthening her feet to prevent her from slipping.

Fortunately, the weight of the large sword wrapped in her arms was supporting her Aren.

The inside of the cave was quiet.

Only the occasional sound of water drops falling from the ceiling broke the silence.

“Ugh… “I’m not scared.”

Aren felt a little scared, but she sang courageously and moved forward.

“Friends who drink – gather here -“

I don’t know what beat it was, but she definitely made Aren feel better when she sang it.

How far did she walk?

Soon, three paths appeared.

“There are three paths?”

I never thought a path like this would come out.

“Where should I go?”

After thinking about it, Aren took out a squirrel from her pocket and put it down.

She was one of the friends I made in case I got lonely on the trip.

As soon as the squirrel hit the ground, it got scared and ran away.

Aren looked at the path the squirrel was heading towards.

Of the three paths, it was the one on the far right.

“You’ll get hit because your squirrel friend is gone!”

Aren clenched her fists and began to follow the direction the squirrel had left.

She walked a little and soon a wide field appeared.

“Wow!”

Aren looked at her fields with admiration.

Although there was no sunlight, various types of flowers were in full bloom throughout the fields.

It was as if she was tempting the beings who came here, but Aren had his eyes elsewhere.

“Ah, my squirrel friend….”

A squirrel was lying on the grass on the ground.

It was a squirrel that Aren released a little while ago.

Numerous butterflies flew above it, sucking the squirrel’s bodily fluids.

The identity of the butterfly was a vampire butterfly, a monster.

Aren looked at them and nodded her head.

“Butterfly friends also like squirrel friends?”

hehehe.

Aren smiled and approached the vampire butterfly.

Then one of her vampire butterflies came over and she stuck its needle into Aren’s arm.

Aren shouted when she saw that.

“Friends are good after all!”

Aren opened her mouth towards the vampire butterfly that was sucking her blood and swallowed it in one go.

With every chew, butterflies burst out and her blood flowed out.

Gulp.

“Butterfly friend is Aren’s important friend from now on!”

Aren liked the vampire butterfly.

As she was watching the butterflies flying around, Aren caught something in her eyes.

In her corner, several giant spiders were staring at Aren with their eyes shining.

“Ugh.”

The spider was larger than Aren.

The spider’s legs were covered with fur, and the spider’s teeth were moving.

“They are not friends….”

The moment when Aren looked sullen and slowly backed away from her.

“Oh my, the pretty little lady is here? Is she perhaps lost?”

Someone was talking to me from the other side.

Aren turned her head away from her spider and looked towards the source of her voice.

There was someone there.

It was Celia, the deputy who was managing the dungeon here.

“She’s a pretty sister!”

Aren, who had seen something he had never seen before, was very happy with the current situation.

Even in Aren’s eyes, Celia in front of him was very pretty.

Moreover, the red luxurious dress she was wearing made her stand out even more.

Aren ran straight to her own savior, her Celia.

“Pretty sister is Aren’s friend!”

Then, he crawled into her arms.

“Are you a girl with eyes to see?”

Celia smiled pleasantly and patted Aren’s back a few times.

Then she made eye contact with Aren and opened her mouth.

“What is going on here with our little lady? “I even held my precious sword in my arms.”

Celia noticed that the sword Aren was holding was an unusual sword.

‘It must be a magic sword.’

She is known to give strength to the user who draws the magic sword.

However, the cost of using power is disastrous.

Therefore, it was right to avoid pulling out the magic sword as much as possible.

The magic sword was that kind of thing.

But where was the vampire lady going with such a dangerous object?

Celia was curious.

She wanted to dig up information about what happened and how it ended up here.

‘You always told me that.’

Prioritize information.

Information was the power to destroy the opponent.

Celia would follow her master’s orders and conquer this world.

“If you don’t have anywhere to go for a while, how about taking a break here?”

Celia smiled her charming smile and took Aren’s hand.

“Yes!”

Aren shouted powerfully towards her Celia.

She was very happy with the current situation as it was raining heavily and Aren had no idea how to get to her demon world.

“Then, I will guide you this way.”

Celia gently held Aren’s hand and walked away.

She walked out into a passageway that was on the opposite side of the entrance Aren came through.

The dungeon here was incredibly large and amazing.

Aren turned her head and looked around her as she walked, wondering if she was curious.

Then we reached a place where there was a large lake.

There were various creatures at the lakeside.

The goblins were filling buckets with water from the lake, and a skeleton was taking a dip nearby.

It was a peaceful space.

“Wow….”

Aren was impressed and headed near the lakeside.

The moment she put her hand into the water to drink it.

A monster jumped out of the water.

From noble mtl dot com

“He is not permitted.”

A monster in the shape of a snake appeared, thrusting the tip of a spear.

“What a long friend! But it’s a little different… ?”

It was a snake-shaped monster, but it had arms on its upper body.

He even held a huge spear in one hand.

It was the Naga family.

“It’s okay. “These are the people I invited.”

Celia turned to Naga and said that it was okay.

“As Celia wishes.”

Naga bowed her head towards Celia and went back into the water.

Everything about Aren was mysterious.

Unlike the dungeons where only vampires lived, this was my first time seeing a dungeon with so many different people.

Aren’s eyes shone brightly.

Perhaps it would be better for her to live here rather than go to the demon world?

For a moment, she even had that thought.

“All of this was created by the Great Master.”

It was all thanks to the owner’s power that the two-branched road became three, and the space that created such a large lake.

Celia came near the admiring Aren.

“Isn’t the pretty sister the owner?”

“I manage it, but there is a separate owner. “He is a very noble and great person.”

Celia is just a dungeon lieutenant.

But Aren took her words with a different meaning.

Of course, Aren also lived in a dungeon, so she knew roughly how things worked.

Although it was a small dungeon, there was a dungeon owner.

And there was another owner served by the dungeon owner.

My parents once told me that the other master was a very powerful vampire.

She said that the dungeon she manages is also larger than the dungeon in which Aren lived.

So, Aren understood that although the pretty sister in front of her was the owner of this dungeon, she had a separate owner.

“Wow! I see!”

Aren smiled and followed Celia.

As we passed around the large lake, another passage came out.

That place is the center of the dungeon.

There were several facilities in the center.

Near the core of the dungeon called the heart, unknown people were guarding the area wearing large robes.

And there was a person sitting in a space that looked like a prison.

Because he was not interested, Aren looked away from her.

After a while, a luxurious facility appeared at a glance.

“This is where I stay.”

It was the adjutant’s office, the space where Celia lived and did her work.

Next to the entrance to the adjutant’s office, there were skeletons with swords strapped to their waists.

“This too is the master’s mercy.”

Celia pointed to her skeletons with her hand.

The beings in question were Skeleton Knights, 3-star monsters.

Lee Kang-hyeon, the being that Celia calls her master, made a big deal this time and was able to turn her draw several times.

It was a Skeleton Knight, a being created by synthesizing the 2-star monsters that appeared there, Skeleton Swordsmen.

Of course, the clothes Celia was wearing also changed from her maid uniform to a luxurious red dress.

All of this was a gift from the master.

Thanks to the master’s grace, the adjutant’s office is now guarded by skeleton knights instead of the existing skeleton soldiers.

Even someone who knew nothing could tell just by looking at the adjutant’s office that it was important.

“Come on, little girl. “How about having a sweet snack together?”

“Yes! Good!”

Aren was so happy that he took the magic sword from her arms and ran away.

Celia led Aren into her adjutant’s office.

“There are still desserts left from the incubuses.”

* · * *

Werter Leowein.

He is the second son of Duke Leovine, a noble family of the Caln Empire, and currently serves as vice-captain of the Holy Knights of the White Church.

And currently, the Paladins were being mobilized to chase the vampires.

Although there was only one number, it was the most important thing to Werther.

Therefore, even in pouring rain, he was chasing vampires with his paladins.

Of course, dissatisfaction was about to erupt within the Paladins. They were blocked using the vice-captain’s authority.

Werther had only one purpose.

‘Devil sword.’

It was not for no reason that they went ahead despite the bad weather to catch vampires.

Because the person he was chasing was holding a magic sword.

Werther came this far with only one eye on the magic sword.

What if I just get the magic sword?

He gains great power.

It was said that one would face disastrous results in the world, but that was only true for the weak.

He himself was different.

After becoming the rightful owner of the magic sword, you will gain great power.

And the tip of the sword will be pointed towards his family, the Duke of Leovine.

He was eliminated from the position of successor simply because he was the second son.

An older brother who was more incompetent than himself became the successor to the family head, and his father, who was the head of the family, appointed such an older brother as the successor.

An incompetent older brother and a father who made him the successor.

As a member of the family, I could not forgive this.

You must take a close look at the person you are giving to.

The position of head of the family should go to someone who is suitable.

Considering such conditions, my father, who could not understand people, was not suitable to be the head of a family.

Similarly, my older brother was not qualified to become the head of the family.

The true head of the family must support the family for further development.

Families that did not do so have disappeared into the back of history.

At least, Werther knew that.

So, if Werther possesses the magic sword, the tip of the blade will be his family.

This will not be a rebellion against the family, but salvation.

“Vice-captain, we found traces!”
