[Dungeon] Chapter 12 – New Challengers
🕑 Added 2025-03-12 11:16:42 +0000 UTCBack in Kuoh Academy, the sun had begun to set, and Rias' peerage had gathered at the clubroom with Sona and her peerage.
The Dungeon had proven to be a challenge, and everyone was tired and needed a good rest. However, there were some things they needed to talk about before leaving. They all sat around the table, drinking tea that Akeno had prepared for them.
The red-haired beauty had already taken off her clothes, which were still soaked from fighting slimes and sat naked with just a towel on. Issei couldn't help but glance at her every now and then, especially when he noticed how her large breasts jiggled as she moved.
"I must admit that I'm quite curious about this Dungeon. I wonder why it appeared?" Sona began the discussion. "The fact that it's in this town, means it is related to the supernatural in this world. Is it friendly or not?"
"Indeed." Rias agreed. "It looks like it's designed as if it were a dungeon from a game. We should check the place and see what happens if someone enters the dungeon."
"It's a dungeon." Issei commented. "The monsters inside... Well, it's not like a game where there's a boss and everything is cleared when you defeat them. They will just respawn, right?"
"We don't know yet. Maybe after some time passes, the boss monster will respawn again." Kiba said.
"That's a good question," Akeno said, putting down her cup, "What will happen after the dungeon has been cleared?"
"Well, it's possible that the dungeon might change. Like, there will be different floors or new traps." Sona suggested. "We saw that the 3 days cooldown Rias talked about existed when we tried to enter the dungeon again earlier.
"Perhaps..." Rias muttered. "Would a new dungeon surface after some days?"
"We don't know that. We need more information." Sona shook her head, "But that dungeon, is it safe? We defeated it easily this time. However, what if it is a threat to the humans in this town? It might be better to destroy it completely before it becomes too dangerous."
"That is true, but..." Rias trailed off, her face twisted into a frown, "It feels weird, don't you think there is an existence that wants us to have fun? We get the prize if we manage to clear it. For example, the red potion."
"Should I send it to the Underworld to investigate?" Sona asked, "I believe if you were the one who sent it, Lucifer-sama would be suspicious."
"Are you trying to steal my achievement? If that's truly a health potion, one that can even heal devils, then..." Rias didn't finish her sentence and glared at Sona.
"I am not. I know this will be beneficial to you if this liquid can heal wounds. You're thinking that this can replace Phoenix Tear and allow you to break your engagement, right?"
"Yes. I don't want to marry that idiot Riser, so I am trying my best. This might be just what we're looking for."
Issei gulped, hearing his master's serious voice.
"I can guarantee you this potion would be tested carefully, but I won't tell Lucifer-sama about this until I'm sure. I will keep this as a secret. Then, I will tell you the result and you can present it proudly. Besides, we can get more of this liquid from that Dungeon again. If the effect is tested, isn't that better than presenting something dubious like this?"
"... You have a point." Rias sighed, "Alright, I will let you handle this one. But remember, you have to report the result to me first."
"I will. So, this dungeon..."
"I think we can keep it for now." Rias cut Sona's words. "The rewards are good, and if the dungeon is not dangerous to the town, then it should be fine. Akeno, investigate the town if there is a similar dungeon."
"Yes, President."
Rias leaned on her chair and crossed her arms under her ample bosoms. "That's all for now, let's go home. Have a nice rest, everyone." She then looked at the pervert Pawn and smirked. "Except Issei, please stay. I will give you a good reward for being my shield earlier."
"Eeeeeeeeeh!?!"
***
Back in the strange space, Cain leaned on his chair, looking bored as he looked at his monitor.
"Hmmm... The renovation for the dungeon was done but there are no challenges..." He muttered and rubbed his head.
Cain had already spent all his Coins to renovate his new dungeon, so he wanted people to come and try it, but there was no sign of anyone coming in. Not a single person.
"I would appreciate a normal person to enter too..." He sighed, but it seemed that it was a difficult task. He was hoping that at least one of the people in this world would be brave enough to challenge the dungeon. Or find it.
He could make the entrance more visible and put it in a more conspicuous location. Maybe in a crowded area?
However, if someone was to get killed and traumatized, that wouldn't be good. Cain wanted his dungeon to be enjoyed by people who were brave enough to challenge it. He didn't want his dungeon to turn into something like those in Korean novels, where people got stronger and stronger while being traumatized by the fact monsters could appear in the real world. No thanks.
He could make the entrance bigger so it wouldn't look like a cave, but it would cost coins and he was low on Coins.
The best would be if someone was brave enough to find his new dungeon and try to enter it, but it would not happen so soon. The only thing he could do for now was to wait for challengers to enter his Fun Fun Dungeon!
"I want to eat something. Why did Rias and Sona not enter the dungeon again? It's already been 3 days since the cooldown." He sighed again. "Maybe they are too busy with school."
While Cain didn't need to eat to survive after being a dungeon maker, he still wanted to eat something because he craved the taste. Not eating for 3 days made him slightly restless.
After waiting for a while, he got tired of looking at his screen. There were no challengers, no nothing.
"Ah, let's just sleep. Hopefully someone will enter by tomorrow." He stretched his arms and stood up from the chair, "Maybe I will find someone with a big dream to be my first visitor."
He went to his bedroom, which was located right next to his throne, and fell on his soft bed. As the mattress enveloped his body, his eyes began to close slowly and soon he drifted to sleep.
Cain's life as a dungeon master continued in this fashion, waiting for the right person to enter his dungeon and start his journey.
As he fell asleep, the screen showing the entrance of his new dungeon caught something. Two people, a silver-haired man dressed in exorcist clothes while the other was a blonde-haired nun, arrived at the entrance of Cain's new dungeon.
The nun looked scared as she stared at the large door that appeared out of nowhere in an abandoned warehouse while the silver-haired man grinned, raising a hand and patting the blonde girl's shoulder to comfort her.
"It's going to be fine, Asia." He said and then turned to look at the entrance.
The blonde nun looked at him with worried eyes, and the silver-haired man grinned, showing a sharp tooth. He was smiling, but somehow that looked unsettling that it caused a chill in Asia's heart.
The blonde nun had her doubts, and it wasn't without reason.
Her partner was an enemy of God. A stray exorcist that sheltered her after she was excommunicated.
"Let's go." Freed Sellzen grinned. "This place smells like Devils."
