The Dungeon Master's
Chapter 69 - Eric and Elin

Elin immediately ran after hearing my screams.

On the other hand, the slippery floor trap I had installed disappeared along with the Barrack Dungeon I had deactivated. Including the monsters that came from that Dungeon. Leo quickly stood up.

While me? I was preparing to jump on Elin's body.

“Take me and take me away from here, Elin! I'm afraid of being killed by that Inquisitor!” I shouted at Elin. Leo who heard it looked even more angry.

“Quick up, Eric. I'll take you wherever you ask!” Reply Elin who agreed to this impromptu plan.

Quickly Elin went upstairs to the labyrinth. The view is terrible. The labyrinth that Elin and I had worked so hard to create, was now destroyed. The entire wall covering the view had been leveled with the ground.

“That damn inquisitor! Did they destroy everything to enter by force?!” I screamed at this sight. Elin also seemed sad to see her first labyrinth being destroyed like this.

But now I understand, that creating a labyrinth with minimal traps and monsters would not be able to withstand the absolute might of a high-level person. Like this Inquisitor. Just how many arrows and monsters had appeared, he would only throw them easily. Moreover, only a wall that is silent and unable to do anything.

“Strong handle, Eric! I'll run as fast as I can! And also, prepare a bottle of Stamina Potion in your hand. When I order you, please drink it to me.” Said Elin while accelerating her pace.

Even so, Leo was able to catch up well. He immediately threw his shield of support as it only slowed his pace.

Moments later, we came out of the cave. The view is the night sky decorated with stars. Barren land and mountains in the North. This is the view seen at the Foothills of the Alps.

Elin continued to carry me and ran towards the South, away from the Alpa Mountains. However, the distance between the two of us and Leo was getting closer every second.

Not only silence, I also help Elin by slowing down Leo's steps.

“Magic Missile!”

Instantly a white magic ball appeared at the end of my hand and shot towards Leo.

‘Twoar!’

[You've done 36 damage!]

The explosion was quite small, but it should have been enough to slow it down. Of course I have no intention of killing Leo here. Wh why? That was because killing him would only increase the fury of the Celestine Holy Kingdom.

Not enough to get there, I also set my favorite trap.

“Slippery Floor!”

The barren land around Leo instantly turns full of very slippery liquids. Without power, Leo can only slip. But because he was used to it, he was able to defend himself from falling.

“Summoners! This lowly trick will no longer be able to stop me!” Shouted Leo while continuously running with all his might.

I don't know how long Elin and I have been running. Or can I just say how long Elin's been holding me while running? Leo seems very tired. Unlike Elin who continuously gulped down the Stamina Potion, Leo only ran without rest.

At this moment….

“Elin, now get ready to turn around.” Whisper me in Elin's ear.

“Can you immediately tell me what your real plan is, Eric?” Asked Elin in a quiet voice. Of course because we were afraid Leo eavesdropped and knew his plan.

“After you turn around, head back to Dungeon Origin. Make sure Leo follows you. Chris will be there to help you. Follow all their words.” I told Elin.

“follow me?! Do you know how fast Leo runs?! And Chris too?! If he really wanted to help why didn't he come here?!” Elin asked in confusion.

But I just let it go. It was because if he knew of my true plan, I was sure he would reject it out loud.

Wh why? That's because everything I planned was based on a life-and-death bet. I plan to use Skill : Dispell to eliminate the effect of any skill that Leo's sword will throw at me.

If my bet is wrong? Maybe I will lose my strength as a Summoner. Perhaps worse, I will lose my Legendary Skill: Dungeon Master. But if it works….

“Calm, Elin. I'll give you some time. Now turn!” My yelling. Elin immediately followed my words.

After turning around, the two of us now ran towards the North. His goal? Alpa Mountains, Origin Dungeon.

Leo who saw the two of us turned around a little confused. But the look in his eyes was still full of hatred. Not wanting to lose us both, especially me, Leo immediately turned around and ran back North.

At that moment….

“E-Eric?! What are you doing?!” Shouted Elin after seeing me jump down from her body.

“Elin! Quickly return to the Dungeon and ask the monsters that were there for help! I'll keep him here!” I shouted loudly at Elin.

“A-what are you...”.

“Quick do! Bring them all here and kill this damn Inquisitor!” I shouted out very loudly to cut off Elin's words. He immediately obeyed my words and ran back to the Origin Dungeon.

“Absolutely I will let you back ask for help?!” Shouted Leo. He immediately tried to chase after Elin but suddenly his legs slipped on a slippery liquid.

‘Bruuk!!’

“Hahaha! How embarrassing! Didn't you say you wouldn't get hit by this lowly trick?!” I said while trying to provoke him.

But Leo's eyes were still fixed on Elin. He realized that letting Elin go was dangerous considering her running speed. If Leo is the softest, then he will not be able to catch up with Elin. If Elin got into the Dungeon and asked for the help of more monsters, Leo did not know if he could fight them all alone with his already extremely exhausted condition.

Knowing Leo was in a dilemma, I said a sentence that would definitely get him to me.

“Inquisitor.. if you don't stop me immediately…. Demon Summoning! I'll call...” My speech.

But before my sentence was finished, Leo's sword blade had already pierced my chest.

[You have received 13,549 damage!]

‘Successful!’ I screamed in my heart. I turned my head for a moment and found out Elin had run quite a distance.

‘But... why is the Demon Summoning skill inactive? My manaku has diminished…. Even I have sacrificed all the monsters in my Soul Container.

“You!!! Intending to return to summon the demons?! Do you really want to destroy this world?!” Shouted Leo.

Hearing her words, I could only continue my provocation without thinking about anything else.

“Whatever I will do for my safety! Unless you...”.

‘Slaassh!!!’

[You have received 26,412 damage!]

[The damage you received was huge!]

[You received the Stun effect for 1 second!]

‘Basic monster!’ I thought inwardly to see the damage notification I received.

Not wanting to end up without a fight, I cast Magic Barrage magic right on the Inquisitor's face.

‘Duaar! Duaarr!! Duuuuaa!!’

60 Magic bullets exploded right in his face, I don't know what his face looks like right now, but I'm sure it's not too much to hurt. Why would I know?

[You've done 182 damage!]

[You've given 197 damage!]

[You've done 124 damage!]

[You have given …. ]

‘Hahaha... I already knew the result would be like this...’ I thought in my heart. I am also waiting for my last moments. Waiting for the right moment when Leo will kill me.

“It looks like I should kill you here! I don't know what kind of danger it would pose if I brought a monster like you to the Sacred Catredal!” Said Leo while looking at me.

Leo immediately held his holy sword with both hands.

“May the Goddess Celestine will give you the toughest punishment! Divine Judgement!” Shouted Leo. Instantly the sword was enveloped by a bright light.

‘Already suspected! The name of the skill…. Don't-don't you?! Dispell!’

A moment after Leo's shout, his holy sword had stuck in my heart. An overwhelming and disgusting notification appeared before me.

[You have received judgment from the Goddess Celestine!]

[You received 197,408 damage!]

[Your HP has reached 0]

[You are dead!]

[Staff of Enigma +12 has fallen!]

[Special Effect: Enigmatic Property has been activated! Item failed to drop!]

'D-d-d-damn it! I received a sentence of this magnitude from the PK during that war?!' I screamed in my heart.

[Effect Skill: Divine Judgment has been activated!]

[Goddess Celestine will give you the punishment you deserve!]

[Goddess Celestine has decided the punishment!]

[Degradation of level to level 1]

[Skill Effect: Dispell is active!]

[Level reduction effect failed to be eliminated!]

[Log In restriction effect failed to disappear!]

[Skill removal effect failed to be eliminated!]

‘Damn it! What am I thinking?! Of course the Dispell skill would be useless in the face of an absolute Skill belonging to a Goddess!’ I screamed desperately at the notification.

[Player: Eric has returned to level 1]

[Log In Restriction for 45 days has been applied!]

[Starting the removal of Skill: Dungeon Master]

[…. 1%]

[…. 2%]

‘Is this the end?’ I thought inwardly limp. A legendary skill that I acquired with good luck…. Of course people like me don't deserve to have this skill….

[…. 9%]

‘What am I thinking?! Why am I acting so arrogant?!’

[…. 17%]

‘Can think once in my life.. I guess I'm too big a head..’.

[…. 24%]

‘Rina…. It seems that I am no longer able to make money through this game as usual.’.

[…. 41%]

‘Elin…. I should have asked for your advice..’.

[…. 59%]

‘Chris…. Thank you for listening to my stupid request..’.

[…. 72%]

‘Elin…. If you've reached the Dungeon…. Please don't be angry…. You know I did it for the safety of all of them?’

[…. 81%]

‘Ah... Obelisk. Ii'm sorry…. Looks like I...’.

I can only think in the midst of this silence. During the process of deleting my skill, my body remained stuck in this virtual world despite having an HP of 0 points.

I was also able to see Leo had gone to chase after Elin. Before leaving me, Leo took my evil crown. I don't know what he's gonna do with that thing.

“Saddening once...” Said a woman next to me. I had not noticed his presence until now.

She has long blonde hair that touches her waist. On his head was a small hat. The woman was wearing a dress with a combination of red and black that covered from her neck to her ankles.

In his right hand was a magic wand that appeared to be made from the bones of a monster. Even at the end of the staff was still clearly the claws of the monster holding a pitch-red magic ball.

“I'll save you this time. But I'll charge you the fee later after you're revived..”.

[…. 96%]

“Retrieve Skill's…. Storage...”

[Asmodeus tries to take your Skill!]

[You are dead!]

[Cannot do anything!]

[Can't resist taking the Skill!]

“Skill retrieval is complete…. So I can find you back later.... Contract Skill: Demon Mark - Locate.”

[Legendary Skill: Dungeon Master is nowhere to be found!]

[…. 100%]

[Legendary Skill deletion process: Dungeon Master has been completed]

[Prepared to Log Out by force]

“Then.... Grant Skills. Legendary Skill: Dungeon Master.”

[You have obtained the Legendary Skill: Dungeon Master!]

“Don't forget my kindness this time.... I hope you understand what that means.” Said the mysterious woman who immediately disappeared.

‘Eh? What the fuck?!’ I thought to myself after seeing this incident.

...[.Log out succeeded]...

...[.Move consciousness back to the real world!]...
