chapter 56

Even though it is a dungeon, its interior differs.

The West Tower, where the ten dragons were born, is just a massive space on each floor.

Others are maze-like or made of bricks as if man built them.

This time the dungeon was not only dug out of dirt, but the walls were covered with white clay.

From here, I’ll activate my fire magic and turn on the lights.

After walking for a while, I notice that the white path spirals around.

Thank goodness, there is only a straightforward path.

But the gradual descent is accompanied by some fear.

What’s waiting for us at the end?

We became more cautious, and Ouka nor I said a word.

But when it felt like we walked a few hundred meters.

“What?”

There’s something there.

I don’t approach and get one of the fireballs closer.

“There’s a blood trail.”

There was red blood on the white walls.

In terms of quantity, it’s quite a bit. If it was something one person had spat out, that guy must be dead.

“It was Skullhead.”

“……”

Ouka remains silent while I check the blood on the wall.

I touched the blood, but it was dry. It’s been quite a while.

After all, this dungeon was not a recent creation.

But why haven’t the monsters appeared?

I’ve heard that in dungeons with few paths, monsters may emerge from the walls and attack you.

However, the walls haven’t changed so far, but that doesn’t mean that goblins will appear along the way.

Then was that Skullhead the only one in this dungeon?

Then, the boss that rules the dungeon would be Skullhead.

As I walked further, the path ended.

We reached a wall with a double door.

I wondered if Skullhead came from here.

“I’m going in.”

“Yes.”

I glanced at Ouka, but she was staring at the door with a firm expression on her face.

She was silent the whole time, but she looked okay.

I opened the door.

Immediately, I sent fireballs flying in various directions inside.

First, I figure out the structure of the room, and then check the status of the monsters, if there are any.

“Naa……”

The light was on – a vast red room.

Blood, blood, blood. It was splattered everywhere, and I could tell by the smell that it was not the colour of the walls.

— and a figure in the back.

“I’ ve been expecting you, sir.”

A tall man in white robes bows with his right hand on his chest and his left hand horizontal.

He is the slaver who sold Ouka two days ago.

When the man looks up, the white cloth is not there.

What’s there – two blue irises.

–Otherworldly Eye, activate.

Ancelotti.

“I’ve never seen …… evil eye, demons!”

“Oh, well, you have a good eye.”

The demon grinned evilly.
