Dungeon Maker

< Chapter 8 # 3 >

The moment the palm of the hand acquired essence was truly enormous. But Yongho could not accept the pleasure as before. I also did not feel the depth of grief.

Orc leaders' physical abilities were stronger than those of the Green Cloak that had previously invaded the dungeon, but their magic was not as strong. It was much less, and it was not very helpful to Yongho who had already evolved his magic once.

But that wasn't the only reason.

Cobalts are dead. Three of the four are dead. The one who barely survived was the one who attacked the armory by accident or inevitability.

It's only been a few days since I accepted you as an ally.

They were not slave laborers like Katarina or Eligos.

They weren't particularly affectionate like Skull or John.

Nevertheless, the fury boils.

Yongho recognized the obscurity. Being at the source of anger was greed.

He hurt himself.

He robs himself.

They've taken their property!

The unpleasantness rose even in the pleasures of pure water absorption. Dragon Hoe stretches Amon long and takes a deep breath. I tried to control the anger that arose from greed.

At this moment, time was running out. If Yongho's guess is right, these enemies were not ‘wanderers’ like the last green cape. It was likely to be members of a specific household.

I had to find out, and I had to be prepared.

Dragon has closed his eyes.

You wait for Katarina and Eligos to return.

&

In just a few minutes, Eligos and Salamander return with the Imps captured alive.

Eligos doesn't panic when he sees the traps set up on the central highway and notices the situation. I took care of the things I needed to do to be very calm.

The Goblins ordered by Eligos have dealt with the bodies. Jun and Jon recovered the Orcs' gear, and John and Ron moved the Orcs and Imps' bodies to an empty room.

Skull moves the bodies of the dead cobalt to another empty room. It was an empty room reserved for one of the dungeon facilities, the tomb.

Eligos rests the Treant. Salamander asked you to guard the entrance in case you need to retake it. Then you and Katarina went to Yongho, who was waiting in prison.

An hour after the battle.

The dragon that calmed both excitement and anger met Eligos with a calm face. I wanted to rest because I ran out of magic, but now the Imp's interrogation comes first.

The Imp was a little magic with dark green skin. He was smaller and more fragile than a Goblin, but he was faster and better.

An Imp with a large head and thin arms and legs rolls its big eyes and looks at the dragon and Eligos.

“Go ahead.”

Yongho said, Eligos acted. You opened the prison door and gripped the Imps tied to the ropes.

“I'll tell you! I'll tell you! I'll tell you everything! ”

As soon as Eligos touches his hand, the Imps shout. The dragon gazes quietly, and Eligos looks down at the struggling Imp with cold eyes.

The Imps no longer notice. I closed my eyes tightly and spilled my words.

“Lord sent me! Forest Master! Take the dungeon! Terrak said it's easy without furniture! You said scouting! ”

The name 'Foras’ changed Eligos' face. However, Eligos did not reveal significant changes in his heart. I squeezed the Imp's neck and asked.

“Who's Terrak? ”

“Lord, dead Orcs. Scout! The leader of the Orcs... And he, and he said, If the new owner ever comes in, I'm gonna go right back! I'm going to tell Lord Gaju to form a proper army! ”

The Imp spills his empty words and opens his eyes. You roll your big eyes and scream again.

“I told you everything! I told you everything! I'm not lying!”

Yongho thought so too. And the Imp's words already contain everything you need.

Name of the Orc sender.

Why he did what he did. Information on how to behave in the future.

Eligos asks again.

“How big are the serving horses? How many Terracks are there? ”

“No, there's plenty! Dozens of Orcs! Over forty! There are three of us, like Mr. Terrak! ”

Eligos narrows his eyes. Once more, I pushed my hand and asked.

“And?”

“Him, and! I told you everything I know! I told you everything!”

I didn't notice that I was lying again.

Eligos looks back at the dragon for a moment. The dragon nods, looking for permission. It's because he remembered what Eligos said as soon as he returned to the dungeon.

Eligos twists the Imp's neck. I broke his neck and took his life in one fell swoop.

“You have the magic to authenticate your ministry. Tracking capabilities are unlikely, but it's just an anxiety factor. ”

Eligos points to a small enchantment painted on the Imp's forehead. It looks similar to the magic genie on Salamander's forehead.

“Eligos, do you know anything about a family owner named Forest? ”

“It's one of the many Southern Hemispheres. It's not far from the Mamon family dungeon. If you ride a horse, it's a day or two away. ”

Orcs have been presumed to have walked here on two legs. I did not know the difference between riding a horse and walking speed, but I was able to guess.

“What is the strength of power? ”

“In the whole of the Southern space, it's not that strong, it's not that weak. During the time of the sublet, we were occasionally in contact. ”

Dragon asked for a moment because it was a story I had never thought of.

“Were you close?”

“No, I didn't raise an army directly... but it was one of those relationships that kept getting greedy at the Mamon family. ”

“But now it's moving. ”

Yongho says Eligos can't answer "Moore."

Enemy attack.

And the enemy was not a wandering pennant who could end up in one fight, but a housekeeper who owned another dungeon.

Dragon thinks. You find the positive parts before you lose hope and give up.

“It's not the worst. We stopped him from getting information back. Considering the time the Orcs leave the dungeon after scouting, I can spare at least a few days. ”

He's on the move.

However, it was different from hearing clear information and moving with vague assumptions.

Katarina captured the Imps, so they didn't get any information. They didn't know exactly how much power the Mamon family had, and they weren't sure if the scouts were killed by the Mamon family members.

Time needed for the scouts to return. Time to wait in case you're late. The amount of time required to make a decision in limited information.

At least two days more than when the Orc Scouts finished the job safely. Roughly six to seven days. During that time, Yongho was able to do many things.

I know the enemy is coming.

What would you do then?

It was simple. It was the best defense against the enemy.

What you can do now.

The best choice a dragon can make in a matter of days.

Dragon thought, and decided to execute the highest priority first.

Yongho's gaze is on Katarina.

&

Without the battle, it would have been in a more peaceful atmosphere.

Yongho left the Imps to deal with Eligos and took Katarina back to the Demon King's room. There was no table to talk to, so I sat on the carpet near the throne.

The story was short and concise.

Catarina's current state.

Evolvable routes.

Ascendance allows you to choose between Dark Elves and Circus.

And a third possibility hybrid.

The dragon explained it thoroughly one by one with sufficient care. Katarina was also focused.

She had already experienced the power of evolution, so I couldn't hear dragon talk any more.

“That's all I can tell you. I'm sorry, but I don't think we have long. Think about it till tomorrow morning and tell me your choice. ”

It was not enough to significantly increase the number of troops right now. Then it was right to focus on enhancing the quality of the power you currently have.

Dragon did not know much about Katarina.

I didn't know why I became a servant of the Mamon family or what I had in the past.

But I still trusted Katarina.

Katarina does not respond directly to dragon's words. Okay, I closed my eyes once instead of answering to think about it, and then I opened my lips in a straight line.

“With all due respect, ”

I hung up there for a moment. Catarina's blue eyes falter, but only momentarily. Katarina finished her sentence.

“I want to do something called hybrid evolution. ”

You don't want to give up either of the blood of the Circus or the Dark Elves?

Or do you want to take advantage of both?

There could have been a number of reasons. But the dragon ended all questions with just a nod.

I left the choice to Katarina in the first place, so it was the right thing to do.

Furthermore, hybrid evolution has not pushed its potential to any other evolution. Rather, he already had evolutionary potential equivalent to two levels of agility, perhaps the most likely evolutionary route.

Now that Katarina has made her decision, there is no need to stall. Yongho raises Katarina from her seat.

“Close your eyes, Katarina. Take the power out of your body like it did before. ”

Dragon said, facing Katarina. Katarina closes her eyes, shrugging her shoulders slightly.

The dragon commands the soul of the dungeon.

“Send me all the remaining magical powers of the dungeon. ”

[Yes, sir.]

The dungeon's magic grows in the dragon's body. The dragon naturally rotated its magical force. Aggregated into one, and again it was divided into two.

The dragon's enchanted hands lie between Katarina's waist and pelvis. It unleashed the power of evolution as it was.

Hybrid evolution.

A greedy choice that neither gives up.

The dragon's magic has penetrated Katarina's body.

You have unlocked the possibilities of Katarina.
