“Kyahaha.. It’s a good dungeon.”

“Kkeuk… If you’re weak, shouldn’t it be taken away?”

“Kill him. Take their dungeon core!”

The monsters and demons that invaded the dungeon were slaughtering the dungeon soldiers very cruelly.

“These bastards..”

But now that I’m here, I won’t let them do whatever they want.

In particular, I will brutally kill the snake in front of me.

“Blood magic.”

-Bubbling…

Let’s reach out to the floor. The blood of our allies spread everywhere boiled in conjunction with the gray power.

And all that blood turned into thorns and flew towards the invaders who were harassing the dungeon soldiers from afar.

-hook! Tutu tutu!!

“Huh? Ugh!”

“No! Argh!!”

The invaders who had been enjoying the massacre just moments ago were blown away by numerous thorns.

Then it hit the wall and the ground.

“Ugh..”

“Ugh..”

They were skewered and slowly died.

“Who is it!?”

“That guy..”

The composure on the faces of some of the invaders seemed to have disappeared.

“Another name appeared. Everyone… focus your attack on that guy.”

And I wonder if that snake demon is the leader of this group… He was wary of me and gave orders to the invaders.

The monsters that received that order came running to kill me.

Someone pulls out their long fingernails and flies into the air. Some people even came running towards me as monsters with quite a lot of molars.

They were all monsters whose forms they had never seen before.

No… it seemed like the existing monsters in our dungeon had evolved.

“Die!”

“I’ll cut it for you!”

Let’s beckon again. Countless blood-colored thorns flew towards those who were running at them as if they were attracted to magnets.

-Tututuk! Kwasik!

It tore and penetrated the bodies of the invaders, turning them all into pieces of meat and lying on the floor.

Of course, the guy who gave that command had a snake lower body and a demon upper body, and was repelling all the bloody thorns with his snake scales.

“Siii..”

To be able to withstand blood magic that contains the power of transformation.

“Is it like immunity..”

I could feel a suspicious energy coming from its snake scales.

“Shiee.. No matter how many thorns you throw at me, it’s no use..”

The guy ran toward me, holding up a sharp spear.

“What do you say? Enchant.”

Once again, numerous blood thorns were created.

The corners of his mouth went up as he looked at my thorns floating in the air.

“I would have said it was no use.. Sigh..!!”

The guy ignored my thorns and rushed at me.

Because I had been hit a while ago and knew that it was harmless to me.

-Whoop! Kwasik!!

The guy charged hard.

And with a spear full of wind pressure, it stopped right in front of my nose.

Afterwards, the surrounding area rose up in dust.

“Big..uhhh..billion..”

“It’s no use.. It just works.”

The snake demon that reached me stopped in front of me in its hedgehog form.

“Uh..How….pierced….sss..!”

What I did was use the scale piercing enchantment to pierce it.

“Die.”

-pop!!

The blood thorns exploded like bombs at my command.

The guy was torn into pieces on the spot.

-Ting!

All that remained was the spear that fell in front of me and the hand holding the spear.

“Salk is dead..!”

“Keeek!! Huh..retreat!”

As expected, the guy who just exploded was their leader.

The remaining guys’ morale was low and they moved to escape through the hole in the dungeon wall.

“Retreat? It’s funny!”

I picked up the huge spear stuck in front of me.

Afterwards, he looked at the fleeing invaders and created blood magic.

A huge pool of blood gathered in the huge window.

It flew towards the fleeing invader.

-Sigh!!!

-Patter patter!!!

“You are free to come in, but not when you leave. You bastards!”

As the huge spear flew in a straight line, blood-red thorns spewed out in all directions.

“Save me..Lord..!”

-Kwasik!

“I can’t die like this..!”

-Kwasik!

The invaders tried to flee, but to no avail. As soon as they touched the huge window, the invaders’ bodies burst like balloons.

Afterwards, the huge window continued to extend towards the breached wall.

So far away that the people in the dungeon could not be seen.

All the invaders were torn apart by the javelins spewing out blood-red thorns.

“How dare you.. where is this..”

The only sin for invading my Demon Lord’s dungeon and hurting my daughters is death.

This ended the emergency situation.

“Keuuk..”

“Ugh..”

Of course, there were many people who were seriously injured.

When I saw that they were in pain, I opened my mouth.

“Blue Dragon.”

“Yes..!”

The body of the blue dragon above my head gradually became larger. He healed all the fallen demons and summoned monsters in the first room.

“I lived..I lived..”

“I can’t believe it..”

I couldn’t help but sigh as the monsters rose one by one.

“Cheongryong. What would you do if you even treated your enemy?..”

“Oh! Hehe.. I made a mistake.”

Cheongryong was embarrassed and scratched his head with his tail.

“There’s no choice… I have to kill him twice. No..no..”

When I think about it again. Rather, I thought it went well.

It was clear that the invaders who had experienced death up close were feeling a great deal of fear.

I will definitely answer everything that is asked.

So, I have to catch him and ask him.

Where, how, and why did you come to my Demon King’s dungeon?

“This cub survived too! Kill again!”

“I thought you cut off my arm just now! Kieee!”

“Hold on! Wow..!”

“Now…wait a minute! Gagging!! My stomach was pierced..!”

The angry dungeon soldiers were stabbing the recovered enemies.

It wouldn’t stop them from venting their anger, but they had to leave at least one or two people to interrogate.

I walked very slowly before my allies killed all the invaders.

***

The invading monsters and demons were captured and interrogated.

With the information I obtained, I decided to head to the Demon King.

Of course, before I left, I changed into the clothes my daughters gave me and moved on.

“The first room was very dirty. Demon King.. dark.”

“What about my soldiers..”

“The number of casualties is more than half.. Due to the surprise attack through the dungeon.. Black…”

The aide Skeleton Lich was already in the Demon King’s room.

Skull Lich was showing crying behavior even though it had no tear ducts.

“I really…”

Looking at such a absurd scene, I entered the Demon King’s room with the door open.

“Demon King. Are you okay?”

As I entered the room, I asked about the well-being of the female demon queen with fascinating purple hair.

“I have no problem. Rather, I’m worried about you.”

The Demon King smiled differently than when he saw Skull Lich.

I bowed my head at the sight of the Demon King, who was as beautiful as ever even though he had horns.

“I’m sorry for not coming sooner.”

“No. If it weren’t for you, I would have suffered even greater damage. You did a good job.”

I guess the Demon King is thankful that I came to his aid right away. He held my hand as he approached me and even massaged it tightly.

“Hostile invaders were dealt with… and the remaining friendly invaders were captured and interrogated. Demon King.”

“I see.. What are their identities?”

“He was said to be a subordinate of the devil king named Shukl.”

“Is it 53rd place Demon King Shukl? As expected, we were targeting it too..”

The Demon King frowned as if he had met the Demon King in person.

“Are you the devil?”

“I’ve never actually met him. Of course, the Demon King’s reputation among weak Demon Lords is enormous.”

“It’s just as the devil said..! Shukl. That demon lord is a very clever demon lord who preys on all demon lords lower in rank than him!”

In short, it means that it grows by preying on weak demon lords like itself.

‘Is he a hyena-type demon lord?’

I thought that it was indeed a being that could exist in a world called the Demon World where there is constant war.

“I guess I know the location of my dungeon. They will definitely come prepared for the next raid.”

“Again? Even though so many of their troops just died?”

“Jageun. This guy is a very persistent devil! And I am not a demon lord who thinks about dungeons like the demon lord of death and fear! Raise a summoning circle right away! Visit the colonial dungeons and take out the soldiers! We will send a lot of stronger and more soldiers!”

“If that were true, it would really be a pain in the ass..”

The 53rd-ranked demon lord who preyed on his brethren seemed to be a demon lord who mainly chose attack instead of defense.

Perhaps, like today, he will send his soldiers again without caring whether his soldiers die or not.

What he meant was that he had the ability to reproduce soldiers even after receiving damage from them.

‘It’s not some kind of zerg…’

Anyway, we learned that the demon lord named Shukl will never stop until he devours our dungeon.

“Demon King. How about moving the dungeon now? If we continue like this, we will be attacked again..!”

Skeleton Lich was afraid and suggested abandoning the dungeon in this location.

“Maybe that’s for the best… I’m the 90th ranked Demon King. You will never be able to deal with the 53rd ranked Demon King…”

It was a rude remark by anyone’s standards, but the Queen Mother knew her situation better than anyone else.

Compared to the 53rd ranked Demon King, the quality of his soldiers, the size of the dungeon, his strength, and everything else… are inferior.

“Is the 53rd Demon King that strong?”

“It will be strong.”

“It will be strong..! Last I heard… I heard there are more than three colonial dungeons alone! Obviously.. the monsters and dungeon soldiers that pour out in a day.. ugh.. even if we can’t do it, dozens of them will pop out!”

I’m not sure, but the Demon King and the Skeleton Lich were shaking as if they could imagine the scene.

“Still.. He’s a demon lord, so if you destroy the dungeon core, it’s over. Isn’t it?”

“Well..if that had happened, I wouldn’t have run away!”

“That’s right. It will be in a deeper and safer place than where I hid it. And according to rumors, even demon kings ranked 40 or higher have given up on looking for the demon king’s dungeon core.”

“At that level… I think it’s higher than 53rd…”

“I think so too.”

“Me…me too!”

Anyway, after listening to the story, it seems like the 53rd ranked demon king who invaded us is like a cancerous lump in the demon world.

Even if you deal with it, it continues to survive, preying on its own people and increasing its power.

At this level, I thought he might be an almost immortal demon lord.

“Demon King. Do you know the location of the 53rd Demon King?”

“No way.. I don’t mean to go to his dungeon..”

“Uh..uh..so..that’s right.”

“…Put that thought aside for now. All I have to do is give up my dungeon.”

The Demon King was smiling as if everything was okay.

Of course, I thought this wasn’t her true intention.

Because she is a demon king who loves the dungeons and soldiers in which her life is embedded.

Perhaps he put aside his greed and chose our survival.

I felt sorry for the Demon King who was always on the defensive.

Her aggression is quite strong, as seen on the throne over there.

“Demon King. I think this is an opportunity.”

“…Opportunity? What does that mean?”

“There is a justification for touching us first.. I covet the Demon King’s strong survival ability. And if you catch that demon lord, won’t you immediately rise to 53rd place?”

“Are we going to gamble now..”

“It is not gambling. Demon King. I sincerely ask you to do so. I would like you to send me to the 53rd Demon King Dungeon.”

I bent my knees and asked the Demon King.

“The enemy’s army is not weak even if you handle it alone.”

“I know. Demon King. This guy is a devil who only chooses to attack. So, you will be able to quietly avoid the military and enter the dungeon where the dungeon core is located.”

The Demon King did not say no.

Instead, he seemed to be trying to persuade me by explaining how dangerous it was.

“If you get caught… you could be used as a slave for the rest of your life.”

“I know. Before that, I will first find the dungeon core and enslave the Demon King.”

“I may never see you again..”

The Demon King’s last words seemed very sad.

It was like that. Although I am a summoner from another world, I was also a member of this dungeon.

They said that if I were to die on my own terms, it would leave a huge scar on the Demon King’s heart.

“That’s why I want you to send me even more. Demon King. Even if I fail… the 53rd ranked Demon King will also feel threatened and pay attention to defense. Then the Demon King’s dungeon will be safe for the time being.”

“…”

The Demon King slowly let go of my hand.

“It won’t be any use to stop you..”

“Haha… sorry. Demon King.”

“Then, there is one thing I would like to ask of you.”

“Hehe… Yes, Demon King!”

I was glad that I was able to somehow persuade the Demon King.

So, I decided to listen happily to what the Demon King asked.

“I will go with you too.”

“Yes..I understand…Yes..?Yes!??”
