The Dungeon Master's
Chapter 278 - The Judgment Dungeon
...Dungeon Origins...
...21 Floor...
"Are you sure about that, Mr Eric?" Ask a Goblin with a pretty stocky body, Oliver.
"Yes. I just need one very large room and I'll pair the whole side of the place with a trap. Can you build it in just 3 days?" Eric asked Oliver who was currently in discussion with his subordinates.
After thinking for a while, Oliver immediately answered him.
"It is easy, my lord. Leave it to me."
Eric then immediately left the place to meet a vampire figure who was a little crazy for him. Catherine or commonly known as Cathy.
"Yes, Cathy. How are you?" Eric asked who was standing in front of the Slime research facility.
"Bwawik swawik swajwa twuankwu." Reply Cathy with a mouth filled with a kind of jelly with various colors.
Eric who saw Cathy's usual behavior was no longer surprised.
"Slow just spoke." Eric said as he sat on the wooden chair.
A few moments passed where Eric had to wait for Cathy to swallow 6 pieces of Slime in her mouth. Cathy catches up with Eric and sits next to him.
"So, what about the development of Slimenya research?" Eric asked lightly. To be honest Eric was not expecting anything about this research at all. He let Cathy do it because of Deus' request to research Slime.
But far beyond Eric's expectations....
"The first generation high-level regeneration slime has been born, my lord. There are currently only 3 of them. Even so, that regeneration ability is simply incredible."
Eric who was a little surprised to hear the statement immediately asked.
"How strong is the regeneration?"
"If his entire body is destroyed though, it only takes 3 minutes to restore it back to its original state."
It was an extremely extraordinary regeneration power for the size of living beings in this world. In other words, the Slime regenerates its 0.5% Health Point every second. A terrible number if the owner of the skill also has a very high Health Point.
But it's not enough....
"Even as his body continued to be cut into pieces, he was still regenerating. It seems that this regeneration is always active at all times." Cathy continues.
Eric, who soon realized how valuable Slime was, ordered Cathy to continue her research.
"Just tell Oliver whatever you need. I will fulfill all your requests. If you can, make something even stronger than the slime that exists today." Said Eric as he immediately stood up from his seat.
Cathy also stood up and slightly bowed her body and saluted Eric.
"As you wish, my lord."
Right now, Eric's mind was filled with an extremely wild imagination.
'What if my legendary [Assimilation] skill is able to assimilate several monsters at once? If it can be done, then that special attribute of Slime is very valuable to me. What's more...."
Eric continued his footsteps to meet every important person in this Origin Dungeon. His goal was to prepare everything he needed to fight Abaddon.

...Real World...
...8 August 2074...
...[.HEADLINES!]...
...[.A black colored ground was seen appearing in the City of Death, Lesta!]...
...[.This land is rumored to kill anything that touches it! Including Player!]...
...[.The black land that is now better known by the name of the Land of Death is getting wider every day! What really happened?]...
The news that was commenting on the black land around Lesta City began to heat up.
AdventureLife more familiarly called Ael, along with 3 colleagues decided to act recklessly and break the boundary that should not be allowed by the agreement between the Holy Church and Necromancer Evan.
A treaty by which no one may approach the City of Lesta.
But at this moment, everyone was very grateful that the three people decided to break through and inform the entire world of this incident.
"We are only desperate. If we die, then we will rest for a few days before re-entering this game world for adventure." Obviously Ael was being interviewed by that reporter.
Along with the news, the troops from the Farna Kingdom had prepared to invade Lesta City.
One of the interview sessions conducted to the King of the Kingdom of Farna that Arlond lasted quite short.
"How did the conquest of Lesta City go?" Ask a journalist without any trite talk at all.
"bad. Everyone who stepped foot onto the black ground immediately caught fire. In the end, we tried various ways by putting a wooden board on the ground as a foothold. Initially everything went smoothly where the wooden board was not smashed.
But as soon as one of the Soldiers walked on it, the hands that seemed to come from behind the black ground immediately grabbed the Warrior's feet. It's a good thing I was able to save them all even though they had quite severe injuries."
Although some consider Arlond's actions to be a little bad for the image of the Farna Kingdom for sacrificing its troops, but Arlond's actions make it clear about the workings of the land of death.
First, one would not die directly when stepping on that land of death. The speed of death will depend on how big the level and also the Health Point possessed by the person or creature that stepped foot into the land of death.
Then second, the inanimate object is completely unaffected by the ground of death. In other words, the black land was only targeting living beings.
And finally, there are hands that will attract anyone who walks too long on the land of death.
Some of that precious information opened everyone's eyes to the truth of the black land.
In the end, Arlond and his army immediately retreated because they could do nothing about the land of death. They tried several times to destroy the black soil with Trebuchet stone throwers or with magic.
But all of that was in vain as the black land reached even the deepest part of the existing land.
...***...
A few days later in the game world....
In front of a giant room with a very sturdy stone wall, it was, there was a black haired man standing in the middle of it along with a long blonde woman with a stick from the bones of the beast.
...[.Determine the Special Effects you want!]...
The system notification appeared before him. Immediately, the man typed in the contents of the Dungeon's special effects.
...[.Special Effects - Status Enhancement when Against Demon King Abaddon has been determined!]...
The black-haired man who was none other than Eric was smiling faintly after realizing that the special effects were received by the system.
"So how?" Ask the woman behind him who is none other than Deus.
"Everything's fine. I hope I can have a pretty strong effect."
They both wait patiently for the next system notification. At that moment....
...[.Determination of Special Effects Successfully!]...
...[.The entire status of living beings other than Demon King Abaddon would increase by 500%]...
...[.Demon King Abaddon would be 40% weaker when inside this Dungeon!]...
...[.The damage given by Demon King Abaddon would be reduced by 50% when inside this Dungeon!]...
...[.The damage from all attacks directed at Demon King Abaddon will increase by 100%]...
...[.The Judgement Dungeon has been officially established!]...
And thus, a very large cube-shaped room was completed. The entire side of this room was filled with traps set up by Eric. And of course, the special effects present within this Dungeon should be able to defeat Demon King Abaddon.
"Good work Eric. Now, how do you trap Abaddon into this Dungeon?" Deus said with a big smile.
