“One of the seven sins of the Demon King Mamon... You mean my ancestor? ”

“Yes. His servants, handpicked by the Demon King himself. ”

Katarina's expression is serious and her voice is tense.

The dragon frowned. I swallowed the dry saliva once and then asked again.

“So it's not like you and Eligos are Mamon's wives after all? ”

“That's ……. ”

It didn't seem like it. That's why they called him "Mamon's Servant," not "Mamon Family Servant."

“Are you out of your mind because you've been stuck for so long? ”

I don't recognize the owner. It seemed natural to be trapped somewhere in this dark dungeon and spend hundreds of years alone.

But not this time.

Katarina bites her lip once, and her lip catches on. How many times was it so hard to say the word, I only opened the word.

“It's not rare, but it's more fundamental. So... ”

Dragon Hoe sighs. It wasn't because Katarina was frustrated. Dragon thought while she was mowing, and was convinced by Katarina's difficult expression.

“You don't approve of housewives. Mamon's servants.”

Katarina insists on expressions and gestures, not words.

He took a moment and opened his mouth.

“With all due respect, there is actually a lord who was killed by 'Mamon's Servant.' because Mamon's chariot did not pass the test. ”

The dragon closes its eyes and, very naturally, raises both hands to cover its face. In that state, I vomited hot breath.

I thought I knew why none of the previous housewives had fully activated the Mamon family dungeon.

Mamon's servants.

One of the seven deadly sins, Mamon the Greedy King who ruled the fourth quarter of the past.

“Then how come they're all still alive? If you become a High Horse, will you live forever? ”

That was weird, too, after asking the question. If the High Horse is immortal, there's no reason for Mamon to die in the first place.

Katarina replied.

“It's true that the High Horses live long, but not forever. Mamon's servants are now mostly sealed. Usually when you're asleep and someone comes up to you, you wake up. There are ministries where the body is dead and only the soul is subdued. With all due respect... The Demon Lord was very possessive. ”

So, roughly, you will always be my servant, even if you die! - Is that what this is?

The tomb of Pharaoh, or dragon-ho, who thought of the culture of the arena, shook his head without my knowledge.

“Okay, okay. Let's look on the bright side. If we pass the exam, we'll be able to take charge of the Mamon's servants. Am I right? ”

“Yes, that's right. If it's Lord, you can do it. I believe you.”

Katarina glares at you. It looked so cute, but at the same time it was a bit burdensome.

So did Eligos, but Katarina truly believed in herself. I couldn't experiment because I was afraid I would really do it, but if I told him to die, he would really die.

I didn't have time to just stand there and talk.

The dragon moved to the end of the wall to the right relative to the throne and then activated a room that was deactivated.

He said as he traveled with Katarina.

“I was expecting a treasure chest... or something like that. If the dungeon was that big, there would be other things, wouldn't there? You don't know anything? ”

“I heard about the Arena from a former guard. ”

“Arena?”

Dragon stopped walking because it was a facility he had never really thought of. Katarina stopped in line with the dragon.

“This was actually discovered by the owner three generations ago. Since you've been in secrecy, there's no location information left, but it's definitely there. ”

Dragon has taken another step. I thought about it for a moment and asked.

“What kind of place? ”

“It is managed by one of Mamon's Servants." Those who reach the Arena are tested for their power, and if they prove their power, they can get one of the goods Mamon collected as a reward. I've heard that each new visit will increase the difficulty of the exam and the rewards will increase accordingly. ”

It was quite a story. The dragon across the empty room again activated a room.

“A test is a fight, too? ”

“Perhaps... I think so. The last three generations of Lord Gajot did not leave a proper record, but his name starts at the Arena. ”

You are tested and rewarded by Mamon's Servant.

Re-challenge will increase the difficulty level and the rewards will also increase.

‘This is a real Arena. ’

It was almost the same structure as in the Arena, commonly seen in RPG games. It was hard to get a glimpse of Mamon's thoughts now, but what the hell were they thinking building such a facility in their dungeons?

For backwards training? You want to train them?

“Wait.”

The dragon suddenly stops as it crosses the fourth activated room. This time, Katarina was somewhat surprised because it was an unpredictable explosion.

“Lord?”

The dragon glances at the left wall instead of answering. It was just a wall with nothing. But I felt strange for some reason.

Glamour.

I've been feeling this way recently. And just like that, my hands and feet moved.

Greed is one of the seven great sins. One of the side effects inherent in greed.

You step up against the wall like a man possessed by something. I touched the wall and soon discovered the identity of the feeling of disguise.

Flow of Magical Power.

It was different from other places.

The dragon naturally released its magical power through the palm of its hand.

Then something happened. I thought the wall was shaking lightly, but with a rumbling sound, a door the size of which a large person would barely enter and enter was created. It was a so-called secret door.

Once inside, you can get something.

That's what the dragon's instincts were saying.

“Let's take a look. ”

Dragon told me, Katarina nods with a tight-looking face. He approached Dragon Hoe and said.

“Then I'll go in first. ”

It was a judgment of the escort knights responsible for the safety of the household. But the dragon shakes its head.

“Sorry. I guess I should follow my feelings. I'll take the lead. Help me right behind you. Is there anything you can shed light on? ”

Katarina was conflicted for a moment by the dragon's question, but she soon accepted the dragon's will. You pull out the small wand from the leather pocket of your waist and put some magic into it. It was a magic flashlight.

“Here you go. When the light is low, you can apply magical power. ”

“That's convenient.”

With a smile, the dragon takes a flashlight and turns to the secret door. I glanced inside with the flashlight and stepped forward.

One step. Two steps. And step three.

There is no floor. Suddenly, it disappears.

There was no such thing as a skilled dragon defying gravity. The dragon falls suddenly, screaming reflexively, as does a man with a shrunken underfoot.

“Lord!”

Katarina shouts in succession. Yongho could not look up at such a Katarina. I glanced at the floor with a flashlight, but I couldn't see the end. The narrow crevices are the walls, the stones, the skeletons, the worms.

“Lord!”

You hear Katarina's voice just above your head. The dragon raised its head reflectively, and saw a catarina attack from the air.

Katarina has the dragon.

And after a while. The floor greeted them.

&

My whole body ached.

For a moment, I felt dizzy whether I had lost consciousness or not. I didn't know if I'd been out of it for longer than I thought.

Dragon vomited. I tried to breathe. There was nothing to see. It was too dark.

‘Katarina.’

You think crazy. You shout in a reflex.

“Catarina!”

It hurts. Even the muscles in your body struggle to move to scream. But Yongho couldn't afford to feel the pain. I was distracted elsewhere.

“Grrrgh.”

The dragon focused on the strange groaning. The voice was close.

“Catarina?”

“M-Lord. ”

Yongho was able to immediately recognize where his voice was coming from. He was under Yongho himself.

The furious dragon hurries to his feet. Thanks to this, Katarina, lying underneath the dragon lake, vomits once more.

“Tsk.”

Yongho hurriedly stood up and also vomited. I really didn't have a full angle on my body. There didn't seem to be any broken spots, but there seemed to be blood everywhere.

Barely standing, the dragon sees the direction of Katarina's groaning, but can't see very well. The room was too dark.

“Are you okay? Can you stand up? ”

I raised my voice as soon as possible. Fortunately, this time, the answer came back, not the groaning.

“Lord.”

“Yes, Katarina. ”

Dragon sat on the floor first. When I calmed down and looked around, there was a flashlight hanging out. Seeing that it was still shining, it seemed like it had fallen not too long ago.

‘Just a little, just a little longer. ’

I wanted to go straight away, but my body didn't listen properly. As the dragon takes another breath, you hear a rustling sound coming from the front. Katarina raises her head.

“Thank you, Lord. The Lord saved me. I will never forget this grace. ”

The dragon, who listened without thinking, tilted his head without even knowing it. I asked again, slightly but foolishly.

“Huh?"

“Don't you remember...? He held me in his arms just before he touched the floor. ”

Katarina cautiously says, and Dragon Hoe tilts his head again. When I heard the story, I thought it was something like that. Above all, Katarina's voice was telling the truth.

“Wait. Then why were you down there and I was up there? ”

“Chu, by falling and rolling? ”

In Catarina's guess, the dragon eventually smiles in vain.

‘Somehow my whole body ached. ’

Unfortunately, I couldn't remember anything about Katarina's soft touch. The dragon sighs for a moment, grunting and picking up the flashlight. I glanced at Catarina to see if she was okay, and then I glanced at the ceiling.

“Did I fall from above? ”

Even the light of the flashlight was too weak to confirm the end. The exact estimate was too steep, but it seemed to have fallen tens of meters.

Katarina said.

“I've been trying to slow down... but I don't think I can do it completely." I'm sorry. "

It wasn't because the Demon King's body was that hard that the dragon survived a decades of fall. Katarina, who caught the falling dragon, used all sorts of means to slow down her fall like a knife against a wall.

“No, you saved my life. Thank you. That was really good. ”

Dragon Hoe, who expressed his gratitude and praise at the same time, teased his fingers in the air. I had no intention of giving up Katarina's teachings at all, but the situation was not good enough to make the story longer.

I did not connect with the spirit of the dungeon as expected.

“Is this the basement in question? ”

Then how many floors? The ceiling on the first floor was fairly high. Even if you can't calculate the same way, five floors underground or six floors?

“Deacon Eligos will surely come to help. ”

Katarina said in a cheerful voice. The dragon nods moderately and stands up with a hiss. It's because of the ‘feeling’.

“I don't know if this is a blessing or a curse. ”

“Lord?”

Yongho focused on feeling instead of answering.

Why we found the secret passageway in the first place. A unique feeling that led to dragon hoes.

It still continues. It never stops. Even at this moment, I provoked the dragon's instinct.

I quickly glared around with a flashlight. It was a small, narrow room. Unlike the rooms on the first floor, there were decorations like these on the walls.

And either way.

Something that stimulates the dragon's ‘greed’.

The dragon flashlight shines. Katarina also swallowed her saliva and got up and looked in the same direction as the dragon.

A small altar at the end of the room and something embedded on it.

Yongho frowned and said.

“Spear?”
