Demon King
Chapter 118 Guild Growth [3]

Erkindra's intelligence is commendable. If we started on our own without the help of my sister, we would encounter a lot of trouble in conquering the dungeon before anyone else could access it. However, with their help, things went very quickly. Combat strength levels could be a problem, but so far not too bad.

“Jia, get out of there!”

“Kh..!”

[Kiii!]

[You receive 1 silver.]

Both my sister and Han Jia are close combatants. As I saw in the last battle while defending Cain, my sister used two daggers. Han Jia, who was strangely fast to his level, mainly relied on his legs.

[Gagaga!]

Han Jia's legs emitted a red glow, neatly cutting away the slime body that appeared behind her. It was a bit sloppy in terms of technique, but it was quite fast and had a sharp punch. Ever since the Great Fusion, the process of fighting for survival had been etched itself at his feet.

“Good..”.

“You sound like a pervert, Lee Chan-yu.” Lee Chan-yu can't help his heartache as he sees two high school girls circling around.

The captain told me to keep an eye on them!

“On their level and ability, not his legs! You need to know their level. ” However, we don't have much other work. My brother immediately cleared the remaining monsters.

“They are almost not at the level of 120.”

“Monster like this is not profitable enough to fight.” I nodded at Lee Chan-yu, and he summoned some small monsters. They emerged from the shadows, running down the underground passageway. My sister looked at me excitedly.

“How much?”

“You think I'll tell you?”

“Cheh, this party is determined to hide all their secrets.”

“Ha.”

“You laughed ?! You really laughed ?! ”

It was more efficient to hunt together, but I couldn't help but think my sister had another reason to suggest this. Maybe it was anxiety, born of the difference in the balance of power between us. We have to maintain an equal relationship until the end, but if one party is stronger, the alliance can change. That was why he felt nervous and wanted to reaffirm the alliance to make it stronger, which meant that behind the group's childish behavior, several adult-like excuses had occurred.

“Captain, this looks like a double-layered dungeon.” Lee Chan-yu reported as my brother glared at me. I thought calmly without caring.

“Fate, what is it?”

“That means there are other dungeons below.” It was an underground prison that did not consist of a single layer. Mireina had just said it, although I didn't expect her to know much about the basement. The faces of my sister and Han Jia changed.

“So the monster was too weak because..”.

“How do we do it, Si-yeon? I've never explored a double-layered dungeon before. ” I expand my senses, stretching mana in all directions as the two speak. It was only about five floors – poor dungeon compared to the Black Palace.

Among the dungeons that appeared with the dwarves, were they all double-layered?

“Example I've heard is just a one-story basement.”

“How do you know?” Han Jia turned to ask Lee Chan-yu, who was smiling.

“You just need to feel the space outside the boss room, right? If it's empty, it doesn't matter. But if you can sense something there, it means there's another dungeon. ”

“Does that mean we've reached the boss room.?.”

“Ya.”

“No way, it's too strong to fight..”.

“It is not strong at all.” Lee Chan-yu casually ignored Han Jia's astonishment and turned towards me. I know what he wants to say, but I want him to say it out loud to my sister and Han Jia.

“What should I do, captain? Open?”

“Open, wait... without the key?!” My sister's crying.

“It was suicide! There was nothing more foolish than to judge the entire dungeon based solely on the first floor! ”

“Do not worry about the degree of difficulty.”

“Do not worry..?” He looked puzzled, but I told him that we already knew all levels of bosses in this dungeon. He didn't seem happier than I explained.

“So we will clean the dungeon now?”

“Ya, our goal here is to get as much experience as possible.” Once the decision was made, I immediately moved us with Ubiquitous. We were in front of the boss' room in just two minutes, my sister was shocked.

“How do you get this ability ?!”

“Han Jia didn't tell you?”

“Hei!” As the guild master scolded the unreliable guild members, I placed my hand on the iron door of the boss room. Normally we would have to wait for the monster with the key, but now that we have agreed to a quick settlement, it is not necessary. I hesitated for a moment at the door. The thought of the haunting dungeon and the above-ground matter alarmed me, but before I could reach a conclusion from that thought, Mireina grabbed my arm.

“Fate, what is it? Are you okay?”

“... I just went blanking. Everyone prepare. ” I will know if I am right after beating the boss. I took a deep breath and kicked the door open. As soon as they swung open, the energy hanging in that huge room turned in front of us into something sturdy.

[Groaaah.].

I placed Lee Chan-yu in front of me as soon as I heard that groan. He would fight it with the help of the other three.

“This person will help you increase your level.”

“Captain, the smell is dangerous ..” While exploring the Black Palace, Lee Chan-yu has developed an uncanny ability to sense danger. He turned his hands into claws in preparation for the fight.

It smells like Cain.

[Groahhhh.].

“No, less precise. It stops right before it reaches the parent entity level. ” There is only one monster here, and the size is so small that the big room feels pointless. The shape is blurry, like an unfocused camera. It was focused on us with eyes that lit up like fire, but it felt strange. I had a hard time understanding it, but it clearly had abundant power.

“You can win.”

“But almost to ?! It's almost like a parent entity! How can I beat one without buff Miss L ?! ”

“Do not be foolish. There is a big difference between parents and children. Moreover, this was not Devil's Night, nor was he rubbed. Oh, he's coming now! ”

[Groahhhhhh!]

As the monster bounced off the floor like a frog charging at us, Mireina shot an arrow. However, the arrow destined for the head of the monster passed through it.

“Quick!” Lee Chan-yu rushes out with both hands raised, swinging his claws. The attack from a different direction than he had anticipated to tear his thigh. My sister and Han Jia ran in Although they did not plan for it, both of them attacked the monster from every side when Lee Chan-yu was hit. The red and blue mana exploded violently in midair, but their attacks missed. I now understand the enemy's abilities. The way he dodged Mireina's arrow and broke through Lee Chan-yu's defense, on top of the moves he made while dodging the attacks of the two women. It's clear now.

[Gogogogogo!]

“... This one disturbs your eyesight!” Lee Chan-yu recovers thanks to his superlative regeneration skill and shouts at the monster. His attack only pierced the air.

[Groaaah!]

It was the wrong answer, but I kept quiet. As long as I am here, their lives will not be in danger, so I will give them a chance to understand the enemy's own abilities.

“It doesn't seem to mess up your eyesight, uncle.” My sister responded in a cold voice as if laughing at me. Cold air rose from the dagger in his hand.

“Rather than affecting us with their abilities, it seems like they are using their abilities to fend off our attacks.”

[Groooohhhh!]

The monster bounced off the floor again and hit my sister, but this time Han Jia was waiting. As her outstretched legs collided with the monster, my sister threw a dagger as if she had been waiting for the right moment.

[Groooahhh!]

“If I'm right..!” For the first time, my brother's attack hit the monster. It seemed that dozens of snowflakes were blooming along the trajectory of the dagger, concentrated on blades that seemed to freeze the entire space. It was a short moment, but some of the parts that formed the monster's body were revealed in the ice realm.

“What is it?!”

That's slime!

“If you know, attack quickly!” The body made of mucus vibrates, expands, and contracts repeatedly. He can freely change his body shape to avoid the opponent's attack.

“Suddenly, my motivation fell..”.

What if we die?

“Captain?!” I took a step back when I saw Lee Chan-yu throw himself forward to protect the other party members. Mireina, seeing my sister's attack, shot an arrow imbued with cold mana.

“Go!”

[Groaaahhh!]

Thanks to my sister's quick identification of the enemy, the slime quickly died. Even if it grows almost on par with the higher system, it is still slime. Its limit.

“Sial, if you say you are hurt by slime, Cain will make fun of you ..”

“If it was Kain, he could have killed him with one kick. Not that he fits in here. ” I pointed to the treasure chest that appeared in the middle of the dungeon. The fight was over, so the spoils for the other four. Now that we finish this dungeon, we will move on to the next dungeon quickly. Or so I thought, when the notification window appeared before me. That confirmed my suspicions exactly.

[You have defeated the owner of the dungeon and conquered it. The dungeon will be absorbed into your own area.]

I sighed and cleaned the windows; my colleagues were surprised by the flow of mana that suddenly changed the basement around them.

“Let's go before we get caught.”
