The Dungeon Master's
Chapter 78 - The Bitter Reality

Several days have passed since I decided to go on a hunt in the Dark Elf Dungeon. Currently, time has shown 20.11. I decided to go out and rest.

Besides, my PK Penalty has also disappeared since then. It seems that the punishment for killing criminals despite having a white color is very short. Somehow the system knows it, but all of this is a good thing.

“Deus, I plan to Log Out and rest. Maybe for you my body will disappear in about a few days but.” I said to Deus.

“Alright Eric. Take me back to that old barn. And also, leave behind some of your call monsters to accompany me!” Deus answered with excitement. I don't know what he's gonna do.

I immediately returned to the old warehouse and released the [Assimilation] skill I used. Instantly a golden light shot out from my body and formed the figure of Deus.

“See you later, Eric. I wish you high!” Deus answered as he walked back to his seat.

“It…. I'll leave them all here and some groceries. You know I could have made a Dungeon here and..”.

“No! I don't want to live in a world full of demons! Sorry but next time you make me a Dungeon in the human world!” Reply Deus cut my words.

And so, I finally decided to Log Out.

[Prepared to move consciousness]

After Logging Out, I immediately ate and took a shower. I was quite surprised to see my sister's capsule still burning.

“Is he playing? But why didn't he tell me? Huh…. Basic.” I said while breathing.

But when I checked my phone, dozens of incoming messages and missed calls were clearly displayed in the notification section.

“Elin? Why she…. Eh?!” I cried out in shock after reading some of his messages.

[Eco! Where're you? Don't tell me you're in the underworld! I heard Oliver's explanation and tried to find information. If you were in the underworld, then you wouldn't be able to return at this time.]

“Eh?! Why?!” I cried hysterically reading the message.

Then I began to understand my condition after reading Elin's explanation through her short message. In essence, if I die then I will remain in the underworld. In order to return, then I must ask someone to do the demon summoning.

But isn't this [Demon Summoning] skill extremely rare? Is there anyone else who has a demon summoning skill?

[1 New Message!]

[Sender: Elina]

[Just calm down Eric, I'll find someone who can use the Demon summoning skill for you. I'm going to ask Neo and Alice for help in finding the information. You don't mind if I use some of the money from the treasure room for this right?]

I immediately replied to him and said that I don't mind as long as I can get out of this place.

“Hah…. I really fucking...” I sighed while lying on that soft bed. Without me knowing, I was asleep.

...***...

“What?! You can't go back to the human world?! Worse yet you have to wait for someone to use the Summoning Demon Skill?!” Shouted Deus suddenly after hearing my explanation.

“Ya. Is that hard enough?” Ask her.

“Very difficult! The owner of the demon summoning skill is very few! That is why we are all stuck in this world!” Deus answered while crossing his arms and putting on an arrogant face. I don't know what makes him proud.

Me and Deus then decided to immediately find a demon that would accept a contract with me. Wh why? That was because the timing of the demon summoning done could happen at any time! That's why I only need to do the most important thing right now is to find a new monster.

In the distance, there is a small castle that has been damaged. The walls had already begun to disintegrate, plants were beginning to creep all over the building. Even the shrubs had grown everywhere as if they had never been taken care of. Even so, there were no monsters at all around this place.

It was all because this castle, was a Dungeon.

...[.Vampire’s Lair]...

...[.Dungeon Vampire]...

...[.Boss : Vampire Baron]...

...[.Recommended Level :180]...

...[.Party Recommendation: 4 or more people]...

...[.Prize :500 Gold Coins]...

...[.Golden Crate]...

“I think this Dungeon you can handle well, Eric!” Deus said from inside my mind.

I who saw this information was a little upset. Why didn't Deus tell me about the location of this Dungeon? But he knows it very well. But when I asked about it….

“Ba-how else! Vampires are my race! Of course I don't want to fight them right?!” He answered in a somewhat panicked voice.

Well, although I also agree with his thoughts. I'm already thankful enough that I have now found a Dungeon that suits my abilities. If this Dungeon is, then at least I can finish it with the help of my monster subordinates.

I still have not used the [Ascension] skill given by Deus considering the current condition is still not good. The plan is, I will use it after successfully returning to the human world. I don't know when that will happen….

After all my thoughts were done, I immediately entered the old castle.

Honestly, the appearance in this castle is quite beautiful. Clearly visible chandelier on the ceiling of his room. In addition, there are also many beautiful paintings on each side of the wall. But unfortunately, everything seems to have started to break down and not maintained.

“Really, it is unfortunate that a place as beautiful as this is abandoned because it is a Dungeon.” I said to myself.

Suddenly we heard footsteps. As I looked towards the source of the voice, I found a woman who was truly graceful. He has gray hair. Her bright red eyes are very charming when combined with the black dress she wears.

“What are you guys coming for? Is it to kill us all?” Said the woman as she looked at me and the horde of monsters behind me.

I who heard that was a little confused to respond to him.

“Uh…. To be honest I only intend to look for new subordinates. But I...”

Not having finished my words, suddenly there was a strong turmoil within me. I was no longer able to control my own body.

“Elizabeth!!” Shouted Deus loudly using my body. It seems that he was able to master my body when it had already assimilated into me.

I began to realize the slight weakness of this Skill. Yes, the individual who assimilated with me still has a complete consciousness. When in the skill user's body, the individual can only see through the skill user's view.

How could I know?

Of course that's why it's my current condition! I could only see and hear without being able to do anything while Deus controlled my entire body.

“How can you know the name…. Don't tell me that you're impossible! Your Eminence?!” Reply Elizabeth with eyes that now look glazed.

“Yes! I am the Great Asmodeus! Even though I'm already weakened, but I'm still alive!” Reply Deus while crossing both arms.

“But that form...”.

“Take it easy! He's my new friend!”

And so, the reunion between these two people walked with full force. I who could only see from within my own body began to understand this situation.

Elizabeth. Or commonly called Liz by Deus was her right hand during her success as the powerful Demon Queen. It seems that Liz was able to survive the hunt for the enemies by hiding in the Dungeon.

NPCs did not consider Dungeons as a place to look out for. That was because as much as anything killed the monsters inside, they would return the next day. Not only that, the monsters inside the Dungeon would never come out.

But Liz made good use of it. He who was a high-level Vampire was able to easily stay within this Dungeon. After all, Liz was one of Deus' strongest subordinates - a Vampire of the Countess level.

“Ah, so you want to help this human to find a new subordinate monster? Then I'll get you some vampires here to tame.” Liz replies casually after listening to Deus' explanation.

In just less than half a minute, he had returned and brought 2 vampires in his right and left hands.

“Eric! I will borrow your skills for a moment, huh?! Contract Skill!” Deus said using my body.

...[.Trying to make a contract with a vampire!]...

...[.Vampires refuse to accept a contract with you!]...

The notification appeared before me after Deus tried to make a contract.

“Hah! You are so arrogant, right?! Do you not realize that this you are facing is your Queen?! Accept this! Magic Missile!” Shouted Deus using my body while casting magic.

The head of the vampire in Liz's right hand exploded. His body slowly began to become a white light, signaling his death.

The vampire next to him was terrified.

“How so? Are you going to reject it too?!” Deus asked as he pointed his hand at the head of the Vampire who was in Liz's left hand.

...[.Trying to do a contract with a Vampire!]...

...[.The vampire accepted the contract without any conditions!]...

‘Eh?! This easy?!’ I thought in my heart.

...[.Congratulations!]...

...[.Now you can call a Vampire!]...

...[.Summoning Index has been updated!]...

I who saw the notification that appeared before me can only shake my head. Not only because of the quite high status of Vampires. But also because the amount of Mana required to summon him was huge.

...***...

The Imperial Region of Avertia.

In a dark cave.

Something has happened since the battle between Evan and the Inquisitor. The battle ended with Evan making a pact with the Inquisitors.

One of the contents of the agreement was to allow Shea to kill Evan with her sword. After that, the Inquisitors would bring along Evan's belongings namely Black Robe of Infidel and Cursed Dragon Staff.

Those two Items were Evan's best items. But it's very necessary.

The outcome?

Evan died just from Shea's light stab. Of course, because from the beginning Evan's character was dead after drinking the Forbidden Elixir. But now he had become an Undead and obtained the Legendary Skill [Immortality]. Makes Evan very difficult to actually die.

The news of Evan's death has been well received by the Archbishop. Including Drop Items from Evan. As a result, Evan had been considered dead by the Celestine Holy Kingdom, at least as long as he did not make a furore again.

Evan's ability to devise this plan left the six Inquisitors perplexed. Is he really crazy? If so, why would he think so clearly? If not, why is he pretending to be crazy?

Whatever it is, both sides benefit from each other. The Holy Kingdom of Celestine is capable of guarding the human world. It was because they had known Evan's true wish.

And Evan? He can live in peace because he will no longer be hunted.

But there are some people who regret this incident.

“Evan! Why did you betray us?! Why are you using Elixir yourself? Didn't we already agree to..” Said a woman with silver hair.

Behind the woman were 6 people standing holding each of their weapons.

“Hah?! I've fulfilled your request to attack that city, haven't I? But what's your role? You can't even stop those Inquisitors from interfering!” Reply Evan with a sharp look.

“You already know that the Inquisitor who came was the first rank?! I can't..”.

Not having time to finish his words, Evan cut it back.

“Enough, Evalina. I'm sick of you. You broke the deal yourself by letting those Inquisitors come! After all, from the very beginning I never intended to fight the NPCs! I'm doing this just to repay your help!” Shouted Evan.

But the seven behaved differently. They all pointed their guns at Evan. Some have even begun to cast magic.

"My nails.... In the end you want to get rid of me? Ahahaha! Raise... The undead!" Shouted Evan responding to this situation.

Instantly, thousands of Skeleton monsters appeared from underground in the cave.

It doesn't stop there….

“Demon... Summoning! I present this soulless body to you! Demon!” Shouted Evan while smiling widely.
