Demon King
Chapter 46 Monster Heart [3]

Sometimes, the rules I set are frustrating. It felt as if I was wrapped in several layers of thick chains.

It was a rule that I would never kill and eat a human who was not hostile to me.

Even though these people in front of me are obviously evil, I cannot kill them out of grudge.

I cannot take action until I see how they will behave towards me.

How stupid, pathetic, and even hypocritical.

But nevertheless, it must be followed. To protect the little humanity that remains.

To prove that I was ever human.

The thick shackles that bound me were the same armor that protected me.

I moved as aggressively as I could, without breaking the rules.

“What is this?” a man asked after seeing the shape of a trap right before his eyes.

The man was in his late 30s. Based on their conversation, he seemed to be the head of the Phoenix Hunters guild, leading the people inside the dungeon.

Traps made of wolf skin, bones, and mane hair formed on the wall.

“‘ Back. I protect Fallen ‘... huh? ” He read the allowed sentence.

The trap I made was a board made of leather, supported by bones; the mane hair formed words on it.

It was a warning letter.

I can do this feat with the Lunatic Trickster, which can create a trap of the desired material in the desired place.

“It looks like he found his partner,” the man laughed viciously.

“Yes, it was all thanks to his plot so that he could escape so far. Maybe the one who has been exploring this dungeon. Someone who knows the location of the stairs. ”

The union chief decided on it quickly, faster than I thought.

Now, they're hiding near us.

A greedy smile appeared on his face.

“When I came to look for the fish I missed, I found another fish waiting with him. Going back? Why should I? There are two monster necks on the line! Everyone, improve your senses as much as possible, with no gaps! Find 'em! Speed is life, so move quickly! ”

In his words, two things have been released.

First, the chain that binds me.

Second, a trap disguised as a warning letter.

The effect of this trap is very simple because the time spent on it is minimal, and the material is insignificant. Still, it exploded in all directions as I activated it, making the guild members jump in fright.

“It's dangerous!”

“No, there must be more! Prepare yourself!”

Union members surrounded the union leader to protect him from the explosion. The guild master also raised a large shield in front of him.

The next moment, I threw two daggers with the power of Martial Arts and Black Lightning.

The Grudge Fang I threw bounced off the shield, but the impact was too strong to hit the shield from the man's hand. At the same time, the guild master raised his sword to block Poison Fang.

However, I threw the dagger with all my strength. The power it contains is enormous.

He dropped his sword, and Poison Fang bit his throat deeply.

“Search! He's close! ” guild members panic.

I appeared behind the union leader's back and cut off his neck.

That's a neat solution.

The guild members responded late. Not until they were sprayed by the blood of their leader did they turn around and realize that their guild master's head was not attached to his neck anymore.

Then, they saw the giant monster looming over them.

“Ugh!”

That guy, that guy!

“Yes God, bugbear!”

I grabbed the guild master's head and lifted him into the air.

He had a stupid expression. It was as if he had not noticed that his head was beheaded.

I put his head and body in the inventory.

[You gained 140,500 experiences.]

[You get 380 gold 14 silver 55 bronze.]

[Getting three items at random from the target inventory.]

As I evolved to Bugbear, my inventory was 5X5, or 25 boxes.

Except for the various material items overlapping in one space, it was almost empty.

Even after placing the man's body along with the items obtained from him, there were still many more spaces left open.

Everyone in space tried to stab me with their swords, knives, and spears, but with Surprise and Fairy Tales, I disappeared in front of them.

The weapons and magic attacks they used captured the air.

“Dirt!”

“He's still here! Protect each other! Damn, what does this sensing ability do ?! ”

“All guild members should gather here! He's stronger than the Fallen we're after! ”

Their leader was dead, but the next man grabbed his wand.

Is this the difference between humans and monsters?

It was amazing, but not enough to change my actions.

Why have I been watching them these past few days?

To understand them thoroughly.

To see what factors can harm me and how to avoid them.

How will I fight them if I have to kill them all.

Amidst the Surprise and Fairy Tale training, I was making a solid plan for a few days.

I considered all the variables I could think of with my stupid head.

In fact, I don't think I'm so stupid anymore.

It is very profitable for me that a hundred members are not all in one place.

It seems so easy. That's because they're weak.

They would not be able to catch intermediate monsters alone.

The nerds who don't even know how to hide themselves, because they think they're safe in their group.

Sensing and detection are not options that should be operated at will.

This should be a priority. Habits.

It is a good idea to make a division of labor if one cannot do it all alone, but their unorganized operation only leaves their group in disrepair.

The result of combining the capabilities of all the units cannot exceed my individual abilities.

Okay, did anyone catch him?

“No, the power of its stealth surpasses our senses!”

“Continue; we must catch him! ”

I'm not moving.

Moving now would be a stupid thing.

It was like approaching a hedgehog with a nail raised.

No matter how much they searched through the second floor, they would not be able to find me.

After a while, I moved away from the gathered members and headed for a safe path.

They still had a chance, I whispered to myself.

Because only their guild master is hostile towards me.

With the death of their leader, the group could go both ways.

One of them was to leave the dungeon. The other was to form a new group and continue hunting.

The first option was to hand over two monsters. The second option would get them all killed.

I don't intend to kill them all.

Maybe because I pity them a little, but also because the Fallen they killed was Lee Chan-yoo's friend, not mine.

I wouldn't touch them if they backed off. Not necessary.

Only the guild master's will made them try to kill me.

If Lee Chan-yoo wants revenge, I will let him do whatever he wants.

But…

“It's good. We can auction off bugbear bodies. ”

“Ha, motherfucker! Our opponent is Fallen. We have to kill them first. ”

The members of the group are no different from their leaders.

“Yes God, I should have bought the Whisper artifact ..”

“Call all guild members.”

“Be careful. He still exists! ”

Even if the head of the herd changed, there was no change in their behavior.

So what I have to do remains the same.

Ebon's heart throbbed and skipped a beat.

It took me quite a while to make a decision, but the decision was welcomed.

It powerfully pumped blood all over my body, increasing my magical power and strengthening my muscles.

It is foolish to think that not all members of their group are evil.

They are rotten from their roots.

It was foolish to think that everything else would change after their leader died.

Their weak thoughts were denied reason and emotion.

Or, perhaps, they move in a very logical way in this new world.

They may be doing the right thing, and I am wrong.

Then, it means the world has gone mad.

If so, shouldn't I follow it up?

I'm sorry, Lee Chan-yoo.

There would be nothing left for him to take revenge.

I assimilated in the darkness of the dungeon, marked the location of all the moving living beings on the second floor, and decapitated them if possible.

[You get 120,079 experiences]

[You have 43 gold and 29 silver.]

[Getting three items at random from the target inventory.]

[You gained 109,580 experiences.]

[You get 29 gold 10 silver 90 bronze.]

[Getting three items at random from the target inventory.]

[Intermediate Storytelling has become Lv9.]

I first dealt with people who strayed from the group.

The disappearance of three or fewer members at a time will not be immediately known.

Even though the hallway on the second floor was wide, a hundred people could not gather in one place at once.

They have to split up into different teams.

Moreover, their enemies are not only me, but also the wolves and spiders guarding the second floor.

Small clashes caused the group to separate further.

Immediately, I was able to select around thirty guild members who moved to join the main group.

My level has gone up twice. I am stronger. And I make a lot of money.

I also have items that are obtained randomly.

They also had a lot of equipment, which I removed and set aside.

If I could not use them on myself, they would be consumed as ingredients for the Lunatic Trickster.

Immediately, all the guild members had gathered, and they realized that their numbers were far fewer than before.

“Excellent... Are we the only ones left?”

“Fuck; he killed them all ?! ”

“We are wrong.. Sir, we need to contact another guild...”.

“Do not be foolish. It will only add to the casualties. Even if we die, we have to solve it ourselves. Conquer this dungeon to replace the victims! ”

Some members who clearly had higher authority than others gathered in a huddle.

They spoke in whispers, but I could hear everything.

It was so unfortunate that I had to refrain from laughing.

“Everything, stay alert!”

In the past, when I was still a Goblin, I managed to wipe out the mass appearance of a Goblin Warrior, then defeat the emerging Goblin Knight. That's how I got the 1F boss room key.

So, what can happen if I don't kill the Goblin Knight?

Or if I lose the key?

The key to the boss room is connected to the secret of the dungeon.

I tested my theory a while ago.

Before I practice in the dark hallway.

The mass outbreak happened in 2F, but I killed them all on the spot and got the key.

I thought the key wouldn't appear after just one mass outbreak, but it did.

I got the key once again to the 2F boss room.

Killing the Wolf King again would not be a problem.

But I decided to learn how the key works further.

I tried to throw it away, but I couldn't. It won't go away.

I tried to put it in inventory, but it came up after some time.

Then, I wonder, what if I dilute the key with Flame Magic to get rid of it?

What's gonna happen?

But right after that thought, my Ebon Heart started pounding.

That's when I knew it was dangerous to mess with the lock.

I found the Werewolf and threw the key, which he picked up and escaped.

Therehewas.

Now, I have the key to the boss room again, from killing the union chief.

With the power of Advanced Detection, I can now read information on objects with a level lower than my skill level.

[Boss Room Lock 2F Black Palace District 2 – Keys that allow you to meet with gatekeeper 2F.]

[Destroying this will bring anger to all 2F residents.]

The explanation is simple, but not everyone can read this information.

I laugh.

Then I stretched my hand out of the darkness.

“That's the monster!”

Arrows, daggers, and magic flew towards me at once.

However, there was something stronger, more threatening than the flood of their attacks.

I threw the key to the weapon and the energy that approached me.

Then, it shattered, exploding violently.

They don't understand what's going on.

However, the next moment, the underground chamber trembled with a loud tremor, and the screams of monsters could be heard from all directions.

“Oh no, this is crazy!”

“We'll all die!”

The vibe of the dungeon is getting worse.

“Sadly..”.

I spoke in front of them.

“You are the only one who will die.”

The howls of wolves and the sound of spider legs scratching the ceiling filled the room, getting louder every second.

It makes me smile.

The rage of the dungeon began.
