Dungeon Monsters Keep Offering Sacrifices

47 – The kingdom of Seir, where war is in the air

– The trait ‘True Dungeon Master’ has been activated.

– Would you like to use this hunter as a sacrifice for your dungeon?

A new alarm occurred to me.

And that’s right in front of my eyes, not on my smartphone.

“Is it a trait effect?”

What an EX-level characteristic.

The problem was that there was no explanation written, so I couldn’t know exactly what the ability was.

At least I thought I knew how to operate the current alarm.

I looked at Ji Tae-hoon’s corpse.

“Is it okay if I sacrifice this guy?”

It already happened anyway.

He sacrificed Ji Tae-hoon’s body without hesitation.

– The corpse of a C-class hunter was used as a sacrifice.

When the alarm went up, heat was felt from Ji Tae-hoon’s body.

Immediately, blue flames rose up and soon seemed to surround the corpse.

The corpse was immediately swallowed by the vicious force of the flame and began to burn gently.

Blue flame.

It gradually became stronger and brightened up the dark dungeon, a brilliant light shone and a weak wind gently shook the surrounding area.

“… ….”

The body gradually disappeared along with the flames.

Finally, there was nothing left where the flames swept away.

There was only the cold floor of the dungeon.

After a moment of appreciation, the alarm came to mind again.

– Select the item to be rewarded with that offering.

1) Dungeon core upgrade

2) Dungeon altar upgrade

3) Create an empty dungeon

There were three lists to choose from in the alarm.

I looked at the explanations of the options one by one.

[Dungeon core upgrade]: It is an important organ called the heart of all dungeons. When upgrading the dungeon’s core, durability increases and the power of the dungeon can be expanded.

“Um….”

I thought about it for a moment.

Is there really a need to upgrade the dungeon’s core now?

Of course, the importance of nuclear weapons was so important that even mentioning it would make my mouth hurt.

If the core is destroyed, the dungeon is also destroyed.

I knew that if my dungeon was destroyed, I would also die, so I couldn’t leave the dungeon’s core unattended.

But now my dungeon boasts tremendous power.

At one time, the grade of my dungeon went back and forth between copper grade and iron grade.

Last time, an alarm went off saying that the dungeon’s level had been raised to silver level.

However, in my opinion, it was difficult to rate it only as a silver grade.

There are already 6-star Celia, 5-star Death Knights, Goblin Lords, and even Liches scheduled to be promoted to 5-star soon.

When I first thought it was just a game, I just accepted it as balance within the game.

But now even I knew.

‘I am by no means weak.’

It is not just about defending the dungeon.

If there were no restrictions on the range of movement outside the dungeon, the power was already sufficient to attempt to conquer the continent.

“So let’s pass this.”

I was curious about the phrase about being able to expand the power of the dungeon, but not right away.

Actually, I had already decided which one to choose.

Upgrade the altar right away.

Until now, I couldn’t upgrade the altar even if I wanted to, but now I finally got a clue.

Of course, I checked the explanation of item 3 before choosing.

[Create an empty dungeon]: Create a dungeon with nothing in the desired location. The level of dungeons that can be created varies depending on the abilities of the sacrifice.

What I just sacrificed was the corpse of a C-class hunter.

With this, I can only create one empty dungeon at best.

“Dungeon creation….”

Dungeon creation is definitely good, but there is one thing that needs to be pointed out.

There was one thing that bothered me, both in Azmo’s dungeon, which was dedicated to me, and in the current dungeon creation as well.

The very core of the dungeon.

If my original dungeon is destroyed, I also die.

So what happens when you create Azmo’s Dungeon or a new dungeon like this?

I immediately touched the smartphone screen and checked the dungeon list.

– Update the list of dungeons.

【Dungeon List】

[Evil God’s Nest]

– General Manager: Celia (★★★★★★)

– Adjutant: Vacancy

– Affiliated management dungeons: [Red-Haired Tribe], [Village Covered in Fog], [Dregs of the Demon World], [Sticky Puddle]

– Special note: There is a core of the dungeon that is connected by soul to the owner, Lee Kang-hyeon.

[Temptation of illusion]

– Manager: Vacancy

– Adjutant: Vacancy

A list of dungeons I own appears.

The system has changed a bit, perhaps because new characteristics have been acquired.

“As expected, there is only one core directly connected to me.”

In the dungeon I owned, the only thing that was actually connected to my soul was the ‘Evil God’s Nest’.

And I also found out that even if you actually rule, unless you sacrifice a dungeon like Azmo, it will appear as a subordinate dungeon.

‘It won’t be a problem.’

Even if Azmo’s dungeon or the newly created dungeon collapsed, it didn’t matter as long as my original dungeon was safe.

When you are about to quit the game to select a reward.

“Ah, I have to choose the manager.”

The dungeon dedicated by Azmo currently had a vacant manager position.

Anyway, it is obvious who will be chosen as the manager.

[Temptation of illusion]

– Administrator: Azmo (★★★★)

– Adjutant: Vacancy

The position of adjutant was also vacant, and Celia’s position as adjutant was also currently vacant.

‘Let’s select a lieutenant later.’

You can pick one through the adjutant lottery.

Also, Lich promotion has been pushed back for now.

For now, I’ve seen everything that needs to be seen in the game.

Now it was time to return to the present and choose a reward.

I chose the dungeon altar without even thinking.

– You have chosen to upgrade the dungeon’s altar.

– The dungeon’s altar upgrade has been completed.

– The dungeon’s altar level has been raised to level 2.

A message popped up saying that the level had increased along with an alarm that the altar had been upgraded.

“Is the range of offerings broadening now?”

Before I raised the altar level, I barely brought Maru with me.

Of course, it is no longer possible because the current floor has reached 4 stars, but since the level of the altar has risen, the scope has probably expanded.

While I was thinking about how to use these, the guy who had collapsed earlier woke up.

“Ugh… eww….”

I approached the guy.

“Are you out of your mind?”

“Where am I…” Omg!”

As soon as he saw me, he was very surprised.

I asked the guy’s name.

“Ji, Ji Seong-min.”

He hesitated for a moment and then revealed that his name was Ji Seong-min.

“But what about my father…?” ?”

Ji Seong-min’s father, Ji Tae-hoon, has already been used as a sacrifice and is no longer there.

But there was no obligation to tell the truth here.

“I am the only one who asks questions. You just have to answer my questions. If you understand, just nod your head.”

Ji Seong-min nodded slightly.

Since Maru was guarding next to him anyway, it was almost like a threat.

I stared at Ji Seong-min.

Ji Tae-hoon was a father who thought terribly of his son.

He probably passed a lot of it on to his son in case something happened to him.

“Then take out the hidden money first.”

* · * *

I organized my thoughts, leaving Ji Seong-min in despair as he checked his lower body.

As expected, the amount of money Ji Tae-hun passed down to his son was absolutely not small.

‘I didn’t know you even had a cannon bank account.’

No, is it rather natural?

I heard not only money, but also many other stories.

Fortunately, the guild I belonged to did not have to worry.

Heukil Guild was not an official guild to begin with, nor did it do any legal work, so it does not pay much attention to the absence of guild members.

Because it was a branch organization in the first place, there seemed to be no problem even if Ji Tae-hoon and Ji Seong-min disappeared.

Rather, the problem was Kang Jin-su’s side.

They said that if I contact them after this incident is over, they will take care of everything.

“I always called after work. But I don’t know who comes to clean up after me….”

Ji Seong-min blurted out his words.

I wasn’t sure if Kang Jin-soo would come to clean up after himself or if others would show up.

‘You can’t gamble here.’

I ordered Ji Seong-min just like that.

“First, make a phone call.”

“Uh, where?”

“Where can I go? Of course it’s Kangjin Suzy. Just say something urgent came up and hang up.”

I took Ji Seong-min out of the dungeon for a moment.

It was an inevitable choice because general communication was impossible inside the dungeon.

From noble mtl dot com

And I immediately contacted Jinsu Kang.

Anyway, it’s just a matter of taking some time.

“Ah… Yes, yes. Something urgent has come up right now…. Yes…. Dad asked me to give him some time…. Ah yes….”

Beside Ji Seong-min, Maru was waiting with his sword drawn.

Because the area around the dungeon was so remote, no one passed by.

Thanks to that, Ji Seong-min also did not do anything foolish and followed my instructions.

Ji Seong-min hangs up after telling Kang Jin-soo that something urgent has come up.

“Okay….”

I smiled brightly at him and then entered the dungeon again.

Party-

Then he clapped his hands once.

“Okay, I’ll take care of Kang Jin-su later, and now I just need to check one thing.”

“Hike!”

This is Ji Seong-min.

Before, it was a corpse so it was used as a sacrifice, but this time it was a living being.

I used my ability towards Ji Seong-min.

– The trait ‘True Dungeon Master’ has been activated.

– Would you like to use this hunter as a sacrifice for your dungeon?

The same alarm as before came to mind.

But this time, a different message appeared.

– Would you like to move the hunter to your dungeon?

I was asked if I would be sent to my dungeon right away.

‘Is this possible because the level of the altar has increased?’

When Maru was at 1 star, it was impossible to send him back to the dungeon.

Ji Seong-min is an F-level hunter.

In fact, it was in the same condition as the old floor.

Perhaps it became possible because the level of the altar increased.

At first, I thought about using it as a sacrifice right away, but Ji Seong-min was an F-class hunter and didn’t seem to be of much use.

I thought it would be difficult if there were a lot of them, so I chose the latter without hesitation because I had to experiment now.

It was to send Ji Seong-min to my dungeon.

– Which dungeon should I send the hunter to?

– [Evil God’s Nest] [Temptation of Illusion]

“Um….”

Any dungeon I own is possible.

First of all, Ji Seong-min was going to be kept alive.

I’m going to make you spit out a lot of information from now on.

In the evil god’s nest, there is a succubus, Celia.

The opposite of the temptation of illusion was Azmo, an incubus.

I thought about it for a while and decided.

“After all, the Incubus Dungeon would be better, right?”

If it’s an incubus, it’s the same guy, so it won’t cause any harm.

I nodded and immediately chose the ‘Temptation of Illusion’ dungeon.

As soon as he made the choice, blue flames enveloped Ji Seong-min just like before.

“Ugh!”

Ji Seong-min was startled by the suddenly appearing flames and screamed.

Still, the time was not long.

Soon after, the scream disappeared along with the flames.

Only the floor of the dungeon was visible from where Ji Seong-min was.

Looking at the floor, I opened my mouth.

“Why don’t you stop and come out? “I know it’s all there.”

I already knew from a while ago that there were monsters near me.

This was an F-class dungeon anyway, so I just left it alone.

At best, it is a place with only basic skeletons.

Clatter-

Clatter-

The skeletons made noise and moved at my words.

Among them, one skeleton soldier came forward and looked at me.

“Tick, tick, tick.”

The skeleton soldier looked at me and moved his jaw.

Isn’t that why you bow down?

“Huh?”

I could only hear the sound of bones moving.

But.

“Just hard.”

(O great being.)

“Tick, stick.”

(Please look down on us.)

I began to hear their words.

Monsters with normal intelligence know how to speak, so people could understand them.

However, the speech of most monsters, such as skeletons, could not be understood unless they possessed the Tamer trait.

I immediately turned my head to Maru.

“Maru, tell me.”

Maru immediately started making noise at my words.

“Tick, tick, tick –”

(Supreme and great, our Creator and Master of the Dungeon-)

“Stop.”

I raised her hand to stop Maru’s mouth.

“Huh… Is this also due to the characteristics?”

I discovered another ability of the trait.

* · * *

Karendia Dersale, the king in charge of the Kingdom of Seil.

His current expression was as cold as ice.

There were several nobles in front of Carendia, but everyone just looked at them and did not speak.

After a while, someone opened their mouth.

“Your Majesty, their behavior is getting worse day by day.”

With that one word, the water was opened and voices came out from all over.

“That’s right! It’s clearly an intention to tame the kingdom in the name of the church! One priest went missing, followed by twenty paladins! “That too in our Kingdom of Seir!”

The nobles nodded in agreement.

The White Church initially said they would dispatch an Inquisitor because a priest had gone missing.

At that time, I agreed because I didn’t want to escalate the matter.

But this time a line was crossed.

It is said that not one priest but twenty paladins have gone missing.

In response, the church announced that it would dispatch Holy Knights in addition to Heresy Inquisitors.

“The story about the first priest going missing is clearly a lie! “It’s time to show them what we can do!”

The voices of the nobles grew louder.

And there was one person who had been watching this from the beginning.

It was ‘Irena’ located next to King Karendia Dersail.

Irena was the princess of the Kingdom of Seil and the king’s only daughter.

As long as there are no issues, she will succeed her father and become the next queen.

Irena, her expression distorted at the sight of the nobles.

‘Abominable bastards…’ .’

The reason they raised their voices was not because they were truly worried about the Kingdom of Seil.

Rather, they wanted to use the White Church to lower the king’s authority. However, he did not want the king to fall.

The authority of their nobility increased, and the king wanted to remain as the only face representing the kingdom.

Irena glanced at her father.

‘My father probably doesn’t know that….’

Irena turned her head again.

The expression also changed to gentle.

But she couldn’t bear the slight trembling of her fisted hands.

Actually, she knew it too.

Even though my father knew this fact, he remained silent.

‘I need to develop strength.’

A powerless king is lonely.

Irena, who grew up seeing her father like that, felt that fact painfully. She

She also said that even when she takes her place as queen, she will not deviate much from her current situation.

Power is needed to change the predetermined future.

‘Even if it means making a contract with the devil…’ !’

War clouds began to hover over the Kingdom of Seil.
