After I finally got the Dungeon Core I feel a strong connection to it, so I know this Core has lost its connection to this Dungeon, it looks like what I did was similar to destroying and rebuilding the Dungeon Core, now it’s completely different from before, I can’t tell if this was how it was supposed to be or if my Auras did something more, I don’t care either since that’s enough for me to proceed with my plans.
Ding! Ding!
I take the core that now fits in both my hands and stares at its beautiful appearance before checking what the notifications are saying.
Ding! Ding!
<[ You destroyed the Dungeon Corpse ]>
.
.
.
<[ You have acquired the title [ Dungeon Destroyer ] ]>
.
.
.
<[ You have taken possession of the Corpse Dungeon Core ]>
.
.
<[ By imprinting your Auras on the Core Dungeon Corpse your will caused the Core to be destroyed and recreated to suit you ]>
.
.
<[ Use Dungeon Core to create a new dungeon where you want them to meet the requirements ]>
.
.
.
<[ The Corpse Dungeon has been destroyed and will collapse within 10 hours destroying everything and everyone that remains inside until the deadline ]>
Along with the notifications I feel some knowledge flowing from the Dungeon core to me, some of that knowledge is similar to what the Goddess Selene gave me, but there are a lot of things she didn’t explain to me that I now know, one of those things is how to activate the core, how to create a dungeon is the requirements of where to create the dungeon, it’s good information that I’ll need to study better to know the feasibility of what I want to do, from what I’ve seen I think everything will be fine, but I need to find out in detail how to do now that I have almost everything I need.
I try to store the dungeon core inside my storage item but I can’t, I think because dungeons create their own spaces their core is considered a space item making it impossible to store it inside another space item.
“(I’ll try to get Layla to keep it for me, it’ll be safe with her.)” (I)
I start walking to the treasure room door where my entire group is looking at me with looks of disbelief, confusion, and surprise.
“You always do interesting things, but this time I’m really surprised.” (Layla)
“I was confused when our connection was blocked, but after it got back to normal I noticed something more connected to you on a similar level to mine, but I didn’t think it was a Dungeon Core.” (Layla)
“How did you manage to do this?” (Ivan)
“What are you going to use a dungeon core for, Dad?” (Irina)
“Are you looking to create your own dungeon? Do you want to become a Dungeon Master?” (Vanessa)
“Calm down, I’ll explain everything to you later, now I think we’d better get out of here.” (I)
“Master Zenos is right, you must have also received the notification.” (Freya)
“Yes, the Dungeon has been destroyed, we have 10 hours to get out of here.” (Érica)
“Does the teleport inside the secure room still work?” (I)
“It will work until such time as Dungeon collapses.” (Diana)
“Before you go, could you try to save this with your space magic, Layla?” (I)
“I am going to try.” (Layla)
I lift the Dungeon Core near Layla who grabs it and tries to push it forward where space is rippling like the waters of a lake, luckily it looks like Layla manages to keep it.
After that I start walking everyone out of the castle where we find out that there are still monsters on that floor, we dodge the monsters as much as we can while trying to get to the safe room on that floor.
On the way to the safe room, we passed downtown where the bizarre Church was, I was surprised to see that there was no more miasma coming out of this Church and to see that half of the Church is destroyed in the rubble.
Even in this state I didn’t approach this Church or let others approach it, now that I know this Dungeon was linked to an Evil God I know this Church should belong to this God, so I won’t go near that.
We continued our walk to the safe room, in the middle of the way we had to stop to fight some monsters, which was difficult as we were low on energy and tired from the battle against the two dungeon bosses, but we managed to get to the safe room with few injuries and even more tired.
We went straight to the first floor and walked out of the dungeon, we found it had just gotten dark, we told the soldiers guarding the entrance that the dungeon was destroyed and will soon collapse, they seemed surprised to hear this, but then they were happily talking that they would no longer need to stay here in the middle of this forest full of monsters.
After saying goodbye to the soldiers we go to town, as I am very tired I go straight back to the mansion and tell Diana and Kira to go to the Guild to report that we have completed the Dungeon and soon she will disappear.
As soon as I enter the mansion Layla gets a serious look on her face, she starts looking around before focusing her attention on the mansion, then she turns to me.
“What was it Layla?” (I)
“Looks like we have two guests, master.” (Layla)
“They also seem to be strong, I can say that as they manage to keep the miasma away from them.” (Layla)
“Thanks for the warning, we’ll soon know who they are.” (I)
I take one more HP potion and one more MP potion to recover, even more, I have to be in the best condition as every time I get a guest I find it’s just more trouble coming.
When we’re near the door it opens and I see Nolan and Alice welcoming us.
“Welcome back, master.” (Nolan/Alice)
“Thanks for the reception, looks like Freya has taught you both well.” (I)
“They learn very quickly, in a few more months they will be at the same level as the servants of a King, I can say that because I have worked with a King in the past.” (Freya)
“Thank you for the compliment, Mistress Freya, but I still prefer Miss Irina’s magic lessons.” (Alice)
“Looks like she has a great fighting spirit, Dad.” (Irina)
“She’s always excited when we study combat spells, even though it’s difficult for me since it’s not my specialty.” (Irina)
“After things calm down we can see that, try to learn some melee combat from Sophia since she’s been staying at the mansion, learning how to fight will be good for you Alice if you like.” (I)
“Thank you, master.” (Alice)
“I’ll talk to Ms. Sophia later.” (Alice)
Alice’s eyes lit up when I told her she could learn combat skills from Sophia, after which Nolan steps forward.
“I’m sorry to interrupt, master.” (Nolan)
“But I must say that we have visitors, they are a woman from the tribe of Beastman Rabbits and a White Elf man.” (Nolan)
“That’s right master, they arrived about forty minutes ago and said they wanted to speak to you, Caryna is serving them in the garden, Sophia and Leo are watching.” (Alice)
“Why are you watching? Has something happened?” (I)
“Miss Nira said she recognized the man, she said he is a Black Market employee, according to her he is also a Vampire.” (Nolan)
“Black Market Employee?” (I)
“Mrs. Sophia also said she recognized the woman as the auctioneer for the auction.” (Alice)
“…” (I)
“(What do these Black Market people want with me?)” (I)
“I think they’re here because of me.” (Vanessa)
“What do you mean by that, Vanessa?” (I)
“Let’s go inside I’ll explain inside.” (Vanessa)
“All right.” (I)
“Alice tell them I’ll meet them in twenty minutes.” (I)
“Yes, Master.” (Alice)
After we all go inside we will all get cleaned up and changed, after that, I spent a few minutes listening to Vanessa’s brief explanation.
Vanessa told me she came from another continent, she said that the neutral Vampire faction has an agreement with the Vampire faction in that realm, so as she was coming here she warned them and was guided by them to their headquarters where she spent time talking to them before asking someone to escort her to my mansion, after which she didn’t contact them for days.
She failed to explain many things to me, she said it was not the time for me to find out about the details of other continents or the agreement between the two factions of Vampires.
I don’t like not knowing something, but I trust Vanessa, the time I spent with her was short, but she was always truthful with me.
After that, the others go rest or eat something, Vanessa and I are guided by Freya in her maid outfit to the garden where our guests are waiting.
The moment I saw the two I knew they were Vampires, not only that but I also realized that the Elf’s strength was close to mine, but the woman’s strength was greater than mine, she hid her Aura and is doing well to hide your strength, but after so many life and death situations, I know how to recognize a predator when I see one, your eyes are calm, but I can see a sharpness, coldness, and cruelty that only someone who has been through many battles would have, the master of the guild of Assassins and Carlos had similar eyes, but hers are more than their two.
“(She is dangerous.)” (I)
