The Dungeon Monsters Keep Offering Sacrifices
Chapter 50

EP.50 Selecting the Second Manager (1)

– Those who desire a contract with the Demon. –

– Princess Elena of the Sael Kingdom has requested help. Please dispatch dungeon monsters to assist Princess Elena. –

– Reward: Increase in Princess Elena’s favorability. –

It was a special mission that had only been a few days.

– Helped Princess Elena significantly! –

– Successfully completed the special mission! –

– As a reward, Princess Elena’s favorability increases. –

An alert indicating the successful completion of the special mission appeared.

“Oh…”

It was Celia again.

This time, it was a huge success without anything to worry about.

Having brushed shoulders with Princess Elena of the Sael Kingdom, it would be a great help someday.

“Now, it’s time to make a selection, right?”

It was good to have completed the mission perfectly.

However, along with that, a dilemma arose.

‘I’ve been relying too much on Celia alone.’

If the game I was playing, [El Dorad], were an ordinary game, I would have focused on developing Celia without much hesitation.

But this wasn’t an ordinary game.

No, it was a reality before it was a game.

“I have to nurture other subordinates too.”

Celia is strong.

However, I can’t rely on her for everything.

What if I needed her, and at that time, I left my position for another duty?

The impact would be quite significant.

“It would be a good idea to select an additional Manager, right?”

Currently, I have a 5-star Death Knight and Goblin Lord.

And recently, I evolved the Lich into a 5-star Arc Lich while completing an additional mission.

Of course, evolving the Lich required a considerable amount of funds, but it wasn’t my money anyway.

It was the funds I took from Ji Tae-hoon and Ji Seong-min, the father and son who tried to harm me.

In the process, Ji Tae-hoon is dead, and Ji Seong-min is currently in Azmo’s dungeon, but what can I do?

I have to deal with the consequences of those who tried to attack me.

Anyway, that wasn’t the problem now.

Even though I have three 5-star monsters, they are different in personality and duties from Managers.

In the first place, they are beings far removed from dungeon management.

I looked at the dungeon with the Death Knight and Arc Lich.

[Temptation of Illusions]

Manager: Azmo (★★★★)

Assistant: Vacant

It was Azmo’s dungeon with Azmo as the manager.

Since sending Death Knight and Lich on the mission last time, they had been staying in Azmo’s dungeon.

“Now it’s the Arc Lich, but…”

A dungeon with the formidable power of two 5-star beings.

I didn’t bother to bring them back to the original dungeon.

Currently, Azmo’s dungeon was in a very weakened state.

I knew the dungeon existed on Earth, but looking at the current dungeon power gave me a feeling like a sandcastle. Since I didn’t know the exact location and the situation was uncertain, I decided to leave it here as insurance for the time being.

“For now, let’s leave them here.”

Originally, the dungeon had power that could be deemed unnecessary for the immediate moment.

I immediately went into the store window.

It was the Manager selection I had done for the first time at the beginning of the game.

After a long time, I clicked on that selection.

– You can add an Manager to manage the dungeon. –

– Use the draw to set an Manager. (Available subordinates: Nest of Evil God 0/1, Temptation of Illusions 0/1) –

– Select an Manager candidate monster 10 times (Cost: 10,000 gems) –

– You can only choose one desired Manager candidate. –

– Selection cannot be undone, so please choose carefully. –

Unlike the free one last time, this time there were a whopping 10,000 gems.

It wasn’t even a 10-time draw but a selection draw.

Once you confirm one, the draw is over.

“Shall we start right away?”

I had already gulped down the money left by Ji Seong-min.

With that money, I purchased a large amount of gems.

Then I started [Manager Selection].

“Wow!”

The first one that came out was a 5-star.

Luck was on my side from the beginning.

But upon seeing who it was, my expression immediately changed.

“Ah…”

Name: Blood Devour, Baalzerith (★★★★★)

Characteristics: A high-ranking demon descended from vampire royalty. She is skilled in manipulating blood and has overcome all weaknesses of vampires over time.

– Would you like to set as the Manager of the dungeon ‘Nest of Evil God’? –

[Yes] [No]

I remembered.

The first time a 5-star came out, I chose this guy thinking it was good.

Certainly, 5-star is rare, but there was a trap in this selection.

“I never thought of you rejecting it.”

Although I was momentarily happy with the appearance of a 5-star, I had already been bitten by Baalzerith, the vampire.

Therefore, my dilemma was not long.

“I reject.”

I chose ‘No’ immediately.

I touched the screen to move on to the next draw.

The second one that came out was a monster with the appearance of a bat.

Name: Wors, the Blood-sucking Bat (★)

Characteristics: A bat. Likes darkness, flies around, and sucks the blood of the target.

– Would you like to set as the Manager of the dungeon ‘Nest of Evil God’? –

[Yes] [No]

“Hmm…”

At this point, a question arose.

Baalzerith, who came out first, and Celia, the current manager of my dungeon, were both intelligent beings.

Even if I didn’t know about Baalzerith, Celia was an outstanding talent, managing the dungeon and successfully completing missions.

However, the second Managercandidate that came out was a bat.

“Can this guy really handle the duties of an Manager?”

In reality, isn’t it impossible?

This time, I chose to reject again.

I touched the screen for the next draw.

– Wips (★) – Sᴇaʀᴄh the NøvᴇlFirᴇ(.)nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

– Hellhound (★★) –

– Mimic (★★) –

– Gargoyle (★★★) –

– Mini Stone Golem (★★) –

And so on….

Results came out until the ninth.

Since none of them were to my liking, I rejected all of them.

“Drawing is tough, as expected.”

And finally, the tenth subordinate candidate appeared.

“……”

The presence on the screen looked like a creature wriggling like a worm.

“What is this…?”

Name: Little Worm, Wriggler (★)

Characteristics: A worm’s offspring. Crawls in the ground.

– Would you like to set as the Manager of the dungeon ‘Nest of Evil God’? –

[Yes] [No]

“…….”

Its name is Wriggler?

And it even had only one star.

The description was even more sad.

No, is this really right?

Can a creature resembling a worm really serve as an Manager?

The bat that came out second seemed like a fairy in comparison.

“This is definitely a rejection.”

And I intended to choose ‘No.’

– Would you like to choose [No]? –

– If you do not select any Manager, the cost of the Manager selection will double. –

“?”

As always, I thought, if it weren’t for the extraordinary nature of the game, I would have quit long ago.

After concluding the contract with Princess Elena of the Sael Kingdom, Celia spent busy days.

She dressed the skeleton knights in the kingdom knight armor sent to Elena.

Then, she infiltrated them into the inner parts of the Sael Kingdom.

The shadows infiltrated the kingdom, constantly gathering information and assisting Elena.

Celia reviewed and organized the data they brought.

She wished she had ten bodies to handle the workload.

Still, Celia continued to work.

Because this was the will of the master.

She couldn’t dare to go against the will of the noble master.

As she continued her work with that in mind, she felt the master’s energy.

Celia turned her head in the direction where the master’s energy was sensed.

And then.

– Tock –

Something fell in front of Celia.

Squirming

A small larva, resembling a worm, wriggled on Celia’s desk.

Celia placed that presence on her palm.

“……”

Celia could understand.

This was sent by the master.

– Squirming –

The larva continued to wriggle on her palm.

It was really small.

Insignificant.

But it was a presence sent by the master.

“…Surely, there must be some meaning to this?”

From the experiences with the master so far, there was undoubtedly a message they intended to convey.

“See humans as worms…?”

Hmm.

Celia pondered for a moment.

It would undoubtedly be a significant meaning from the noble master, but as an ignorant person, she couldn’t understand at all.

“Indeed, Celia. It’s still far for you to follow the will of the master….”

The northern part of the El Dorad continent had long been a forbidden place for humans.

A land unknown to humans, truly an unknown land with dungeons and monsters, the Demon Realm.

Fortunately, reaching the Demon Realm required crossing a giant mountain range, so the mountains naturally served as a boundary.

Especially for the Sael Kingdom, which benefited from this topography. Thanks to it, despite being the country closest to the Demon Realm on the El Dorad continent, the damage from monsters was relatively minor.

Especially the Free City Union and the Belus Republic, located close to the Sael Kingdom, could breathe freely.

Even if something happened in the Demon Realm, the mountains and the Sael Kingdom would block it.

Even if not, they could at least delay it for some time.

For them, the Sael Kingdom played the role of a breakwater.

However, they also had their concerns.

Between the Free City Union and the Belus Republic, there was a 5-star vampire dungeon.

It was the territory of Baalzerith.

With terrifying power, Baalzerith rapidly expanded her influence.

She absorbed nearby dungeons or organized them under her control.

Thanks to this, humans dared not to touch her, and Baalzerith enjoyed a peaceful period.

When this peace had lasted for a while, or perhaps a very long time.

The church began to move.

“Why has it become like this…!”

Baalzerith sat on the throne of the dungeon.

She wrapped her head in despair.

“Those White Order guys…!”

For her, who had enjoyed a peaceful time for a while, the current situation was truly irritating.

It was because of the White Order.

The White Order secretly operated holy knights and eroded her influence.

If they had confronted Baalzerith from the beginning, she would have dealt with them quickly, but they moved insidiously.

They adopted a strategy of subduing her influence by subjugating the dungeons around her.

“Rats. What kind of scheme are these little bastards running?!”

Of course, Baalzerith also moved to stop them.

However, the opponents were swift and clever.

She could only chase their tails.

As this situation repeated several times, Baalzerith gradually became tired.

In her heart, she wanted to directly attack the Church headquarters, but it was too difficult.

If only the distance between her and the Church was closer.

No, at least if it were the past, it might have been possible, but not now.

Considering the enormous power they had accumulated, if she moved recklessly, there was a high chance of not even recouping her losses.

Baalzerith pondered.

“Is there no one to help the noble me?”

A comrade to assist her.

And at that moment.

[……….]

The space she was looking at began to distort.

A familiar energy appeared.

An unforgettable energy.

“…No way.”

It was the arrogant guy who had once told her, a descendant of royalty, to become his slave.

His energy was unmistakable.

A presence equal to or perhaps even higher than herself.

Baalzerith cautiously spoke.

“Perhaps.”

The opponent’s energy became even more powerful.

She was certain.

The opponent was undoubtedly a presence much higher than herself.

Now was the time to put aside her pride.

“Can you help me……”

[Reject]

“7”

Leaving those words behind, the opponent disappeared.

As if they had never existed.

“No way!”

Baalzerith’s expression crumbled.
