Dungeon Monsters Keep Offering Sacrifices

Chapter 38

38 – Celia’s Judgment (1)

Beren Bloodworth was kneeling.

His current appearance was so miserable that he could not be said to be the leader of the ‘Red Fang’ mercenary group.

The area around his eyes is swollen and bruised, and his nose is bleeding.

Her front teeth had already fallen out, and saliva was leaking from her mouth.

Celia smiled happily seeing that.

It was not because Beren looked unsightly, but because she liked the process of capturing him.

“As expected, everyone completed their assigned duties well.”

As expected, in this course, each person was given tasks appropriate to their position, and everyone wanted to praise her for performing them so well.

First, Squall, who holds the title of Margrave.

As the owner of a dungeon and the leader of a group of orcs, he masterfully subdued his enemies. He was evaluated as having faithfully completed the duties appropriate to his position.

Next was Inspector Rich.

He also clearly performed his duties befitting his position as inspector general.

Didn’t he discover the enemy first, capture those whom Squall had subdued, and bring them here?

He wasn’t the only one. Depending on the situation, he was even meticulous in recording his evaluation of others.

“Hmm.”

As Celia looked at the records Richie had written, she was lost in thought for a moment.

And then soon.

“The results were good, so let’s assume there are no deductions.”

Death Knight was pleased to hear those words.

A record with little reach.

He was a Death Knight who had just been kicked out by Celia for neglecting his duties and leaving the dungeon without permission.

Death Knight felt better after hearing that there were no deductions.

A moment when the atmosphere was lively.

A group of goblins appeared.

They were lightly armed, moved in a line, and stopped in front of Celia.

The hobgoblin leading the goblin group saluted towards Celia.

“Administrator, everything is ready!”

They are a newly created unit by Celia.

It was a scouting party.

The Great One created the big picture, so it was Celia’s job to fill in the detailed puzzles.

And the first puzzle is a scouting party made up of goblins.

Rich also patrols, but strictly speaking, the purpose is more to inspect others than to scout.

It may be unlikely, but Celia, concerned about a hole in her security, organized a separate scouting party.

This was not difficult.

The goblins were armed with light equipment so that there would be no restrictions on their movement, and were then made to scout around the dungeon.

The goblins were agile despite their small stature, and their green skin was a camouflage color suited to the forest.

Because they were so numerous, they were an appropriate race to scout in turns.

However, it was not simply about organizing the goblins.

A systematic organization was needed. First, the reconnaissance team was divided into three groups for shift work.

A 3-star hobgoblin was formed as the team leader to lead each of the three groups.

Lastly, the Goblin Lord was assigned as the monster that would lead the entire scouting party made up of goblins.

In a way, it was an obvious choice.

And now.

The first group that was founded and was about to go on its first reconnaissance appeared.

Celia spoke to the leader Hobgoblin who was about to go on his first scouting.

“From next time, report only to the Goblin Lord and carry out your mission.”

At Celia’s words, the hobgoblin saluted again and left the dungeon.

This was the start of the full-scale work of the reconnaissance team.

‘The problem of reconnaissance near the dungeon has been resolved, so there will be no problems anymore.’

In this way, Celia was willing to do anything for her master’s goal.

A lich followed behind the scouting party coming out of the dungeon and went out with them, but I didn’t pay any attention to that.

Richie was doing well, and most importantly, he had something else to do with Celia.

“Now, it is time for judgment.”

Now it was time to judge the intruder in front of us.

And the one who will make that just decision is.

Celia, who was given the position of general manager by the great master and was in charge of diplomacy and established discipline within the dungeon, would make the final decision.

Celia looked at those lying on the floor one by one.

“How dare you trespass into the realm of the Supreme One? “Originally, everyone deserves to die, but let’s give you a special chance.”

Opportunity?

Those who were in tears at her words raised their heads.

Ever since they were captured here, they thought they were finished.

I thought I would probably die right away, but her words in front of me gave me hope that I could survive.

The opponent is clearly the owner of the dungeon.

No, seeing as I mentioned earlier that he was a great person, it was clear that he was a high-ranking being, even if he was not a master.

In that case, their situation will change depending on what she says.

Everyone was thinking the same thing and had hope in their hearts.

“From now on, you will be punished by hard labor where you will have to work until you die.”

Celia judged the intruders.

The punishment is that everyone must work until death.

It was obvious that I would be treated like a slave.

Still, everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing her words.

First of all, survival was important.

Because we had to survive first to plan for the future.

Anyway, all they had in mind was to find an opportunity and run away.

They said I would have to work forever, but there will definitely be a gap.

If you could just take advantage of that opportunity and run away, it wouldn’t be such a hopeless situation.

Someone had a family to feed, so they sang of hope even more.

Celia, who had ruled, looked at her Death Knight and opened her mouth.

“Mr. Death Knight. As the leader of the knights who protect the dungeon, punish them.”

The Death Knight nodded her head at Celia’s words.

She then pulled out the sword hanging from her waist.

A clear sound was heard from the sheath and the sword was pulled out.

“Uh… ?”

Beren was momentarily taken aback.

Why did she suddenly pull out her sword?

But my thoughts stopped there.

This is because the following happened in an instant.

Hook-

As soon as the Death Knight drew her sword, she stabbed it into Beren’s heart.

Beren’s heart was pierced by the sword.

“Pfft.”

Beren left her with a short scream before ending her fate.

Others who saw this fell into panic and screamed.

I told you I would save your life!

They said they would give me a chance!

But there was no one who would listen to their cries.

It’s just a silent clamor.

When everyone cried, a very small change began.

“Ugh….”

A strange sound of phlegm boiling was heard from somewhere.

Those who were shouting fell silent at this small sound.

What are you talking about?

Where does that sound come from?

And soon I was able to realize where the sound came from and what change was taking place.

Isn’t Beren, whose heart was pierced, waking up making a strange noise?

“… ….”

Everyone was silent.

Those who had once served Beren as their leader were astonished.

The leader Beren they already knew was not there.

There were only ghouls in the shape of Beren.

She was sentenced to her death by him and given a new life as a ghoul by Beren Bloodwash.

It was the effect of the Death Knight skill.

Celia smiled at him.

“Oh my, an ordinary ghoul has appeared this time.”

If you are sentenced to death by a Death Knight, you are reborn as a ghoul.

In fact, abnormally powerful ghouls appeared during this time, and the current situation was originally correct.

Because this ghoul was an extremely ordinary 2-star.

Of course, Celia was satisfied because they were not intended to be used for combat from the beginning.

“Well, there won’t be any problem with working.”

Celia looked at the others as well.

“Now we can train workers.”

Ghouls were undead.

Once you became undead, there was naturally no need to rest. Of course, I didn’t need sleep.

Because there was no need to even eat food, there was the advantage of being able to focus only on work.

I don’t know about its durability, but Ghouls were going to continue to be mass-produced anyway.

They are worker slaves armed with extreme cost-effectiveness.

At Celia’s words, those who survived screamed and struggled.

“I don’t want to die like this!”

Someone screamed and tried to run away, but this was already inside the dungeon.

As soon as he woke up, he was killed by the sword swung by the Death Knight.

And like Beren, he woke up a moment later as a ghoul.

“This is not it! I have a family to feed! Please… please. Please have mercy.”

One of the mercenaries began to beg and beg.

But that was that human’s problem, not something Celia should care about.

More than anything, if you were someone who cared for your family so much, you shouldn’t have come here in the first place.

Defeating dungeons was originally like that.

From noble mtl dot com

Something that must be done with death in mind at any time.

The Death Knight’s sword moved again.

“Ah, goddess. “Please save me.”

Even in a situation where screams rang out and despair and sadness were rampant, someone prayed.

But there was no goddess here to listen to our prayers.

Instead, the Death Knight cut down the man who was praying to her.

Although the outcome was different, the man was able to free her from her despair and pain.

And she became a ghoul and was saved.

The birth of new life that appears with death.

This dungeon will be the scene of salvation.

The Death Knight’s sword continued to move.

It looked like they were dancing.

Everyone screamed and turned into ghouls.

From now on, they will take care of all the chores in running the dungeon.

As long as a second death does not come to them, they will offer eternal loyalty to the Great One.

That was the way to clear up the mistakes they had made. This too must be fate.

“Krrr.”

“Ugh….”

Everyone is born again.

All of these people became members of the dungeon, just like Beren, who was the leader.

Celia, who was happily looking at the scene, raised her head again.

“Another customer has arrived?”

Someone has entered the dungeon area.

It was Celia who had already felt the energy of a group of people from a while ago.

I left it alone because it was just staying in a faraway place, but since it came directly into the master’s territory, I couldn’t just leave it alone.

Celia’s actions would also vary depending on the other party’s purpose.

“Alright, everyone, please finish up and get ready to welcome the guests.”

* · * *

Gulon, claiming to be a merchant, came again.

Of course, his heart wanted to shout surrender right away, but the presence of the shadows behind him was bothersome, so he just kept spinning his words around.

The awkward laughter was a bonus.

“Are there any more things needed for the dungeon these days?”

“hahahaha, isn’t the weather really nice these days?”

I didn’t know how many times we had already had a conversation about the weather.

As the meaningless conversation continued, Celia, who did not want to waste time, opened her mouth.

“Okay, it’s okay, so I’d like to move on to the main topic. “Enough with the meaningless conversation.”

Gulon thought about her words for a moment.

And she glanced behind her.

The shadows stayed still.

Gulon thought this was her chance. She swallowed her saliva once and decided to act.

She quickly ran towards Celia and quickly fell to her knees on the floor.

“Please spare my life! “The company is trying to get rid of me and this dungeon!”
