[Dungeon] Chapter 59 – Devils’ Scheme
🕑 Added 2025-04-26 12:12:34 +0000 UTCA friendly relationship was established between two different dimensions. And at that moment, someone came in and intruded into their conversation.
"Oh, there are a lot of people here."
Clang clang!
The person who suddenly appeared wore full-body iron armor. He smiled as he approached. Unlike the others, he was alone. He didn't even try to hide his sword and shield, carrying it openly with pride.
At that moment, Sirzechs realized this guy was also from another world but different from the two groups in front of him.
"A knight?" Rias muttered from behind, referring to his choice of appearance.
Jiraiya was interested in him the most as he examined this newcomer closely before deciding whether or not to talk with him later. The clothes he wore were vastly different from the one introducing himself as Sirzechs Lucifer.
'He's not from their place. He's wearing metal armor, a strange choice. How can he move comfortably in that?' Jiraiya deduced correctly. 'Hmm. Interesting.'
"It seems our numbers keep increasing..." Said the Toad Sage while keeping his guard up. "Say, new guy. What's your name? I am Jiraiya, and there are Gaara and Sirzechs over here." He introduced the rest of the members politely and courteously.
"My name's Cain. Just Cain. And my username in the chatroom is Steel Ball." The armored individual answered briefly yet pleasantly nonetheless.
"Aaah!" Naruto yelled loudly as Cain introduced himself, "Steel Ball? The new guy? Whoa, nice to meet ya! I am Naruto, and I am Future Hokage!"
Shikamaru facepalmed hard when he saw Naruto introducing himself like an idiot once again. Seriously though, did that boy ever learn any social skills whatsoever?
Though thankfully nothing bad came out of this encounter considering how friendly everyone seemed so far. Even stranger was that nobody here had malicious intent towards them which meant it could've been much worse...
Still... "Troublesome." He whispered quietly under his breath before returning his attention towards the rest of their group.
They talked for a bit before Cain suddenly brought up the topic about the dungeon.
"Are you entering the Tower of Resentment?"
"Yes. That is what we came here for." Sirzechs answered. "But if Mr. Jiraiya wants to enter with his group, we will enter a different dungeon. Though, I am sure all of us have a similar objective." Then, he looked at the armored man. "What about you?"
"I just want to stay here. Hahaha, I ran away from my work. I have a bunch of workers taking care of things so I will slack off a bit here!" He said cheerily.
"Very well then." Sirzechs Lucifer glanced between each person present within their vicinity before continuing, "Perhaps we should separate accordingly? We will enter Elemental Tower this time, if you don't mind."
"Not at all, please do so." Jiraiya gave them permission freely without hesitation.
Nodding slightly, Sirzechs gestured towards Rias who quickly followed him. The Devil group disappeared soon after that.
"I guess it's just us left in here," noted Gaara nonchalantly. "I heard from Kankurou that the dungeon is dangerous. Mr. Jiraiya, would you be alright to explore the dungeon together?"
"I'd like to suggest the same. I guess we have the same idea in mind." Jiraiya smirked widely as he extended his hand forward, offering a handshake which Gaara accepted readily.
Naruto looked excited as hell upon seeing both parties come to mutual understanding. He pumped his fist energetically.
"Yeah! Let's kick some ass! It's been a long time since we fought together, Gaara! And hey, are you sure you're not going to go into the dungeon?"
The Kyuubi Jinchuriki looked at Cain curiously, causing the said armored person to nod vigorously.
"I have seen enough already. As long as you told me your experiences later, that would be good!"
The blond haired shinobi stared intently at Cain, pondering whether or not he should trust this mysterious newcomer completely or just ignore him altogether.
Shikamaru sighed exasperatedly while rubbing his temples lightly.
"The person himself said he won't enter. No need to force him."
Hearing his fellow ninja's voice, Naruto stopped looking at Cain for a brief second and focused entirely on Gaara instead. The Kazekage merely shrugged indifferently.
"Then let's go. Let me tell you, the monsters inside are so strong, Ero Sennin!"
"Hoh? You better prove it by showing me yourself then." The self proclaimed super-pervert chuckled playfully.
"Alright, we'll see!"
Watching as the trio stepped through the portal, Cain sat down and took out a handheld gaming device. Right, if he was tired gaming in his room, he could always visit the hub and take a breather.
"This is life, ain't it?"
At that moment, he saw the Devils' group returning from the Elemental Tower. He quickly hid his device and looked at them curiously. Sirzechs smiled at him before entering the Tower of Resentment .
"Oh, I see." A grin crept onto Cain's face.
Earlier, the Devils didn't enter the Elemental Tower. Instead, they used their magic to disappear somewhere else. Teleportation, maybe?
Then, they returned like nothing happened.
"Maybe I will be able to see a group battle in the dungeon soon. Uwahahaha!" Cain laughed as he imagined the scene.
Dungeons meant battle. Battle meant death!
Nothing more entertaining than that.
Blood! Gore! Tragedy! Misery! Death!
When these three groups of talented individuals with various abilities entered his dungeon and started fighting their way up to the very top floor; that was what happened to their opponent regardless of gender nor age alike!
At least, that's what should've been!
"I need to return to the throne room and put a bait..."
A grin slowly made its way across Cain's features.
"I know just what will attract these three groups. Oooh~ I can't wait for it!"
Cain then looked at his watch.
"Good! Time to announce it in the Chat Room too!"
The more the merrier.
