Chapter 186

As for the hammer...

It looks like an amusement park decoration, too light to be lethal.

At this point, it is completely different from the previous dungeons.

"You...walk this way and I...I'll be gentle. You won't feel anything."

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

The cotton hammer on the head even smelled like real marshmallows.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The weird trip to the dungeon ended when the two of them stood at the door of the dungeon because they "failed to challenge the dungeon."

"Huh, I really didn't expect that my record of 'failure in the dungeon' for the first time, the second time... and the many times in my life would be here."

Shona stretched, as if she was used to all this.

At the entrance of the Tenth Castlevania, on one side is the brightly lit plaque of the Tenth Castlevania, and on the other side is a deserted street - in this city with no outsiders and no entertainment, the residents also go to bed very early.

"How's it going? Smart little Will, after experiencing this, you should understand something, right?"

Will, standing in the darkness, stepped out.

"They... are improving their record."

"Yes, this is probably one of the secrets of the dungeon. Will, aren't you curious? How does the dungeon run? Why do they actually welcome adventurers to enter and explore? What they give adventurers comes from Where did it come from?”

"It's because..."

"Because we need to get the energy from the adventurers' battles to open the dungeon downwards."

In the shadow caused by the light, a girl interrupted their conversation.

Chapter 211 The invincible little devil Lucifer!

The girl standing in the shadow has strange short pink hair, and a pair of purple eyes that seem to hide deep secrets, with vertical pupils like a cat.

She was wearing a large and rustic straw hat, sports socks and sneakers that didn't reach the knees, a white vest, and a thick dark blue denim jacket. She was dressed like a tomboy.

She looks only five centimeters taller than An Qi, who served them food today. At first glance, she probably looks like a child who hasn't grown up yet.

——Perhaps because of this, the words she just said that contained such a large amount of information and were extremely confident and domineering did not seem to come from her mouth.

…

The three of them fell into silence under the lights of the dungeon.

The shadows were stretched by the light.

"Because we need to get the energy from the adventurers' battles to open the dungeon downwards."

As if going back in time, the girl felt as if she thought the two people didn't hear her, so she increased her voice and spoke loudly again.

Very shocking remarks!

Words that seem to reveal the world view in one sentence!

but……

"Um...who are you?"

"Which family's lost child does it look like?"

"...!"

The girl, whose face was red with anger, clenched her fists and then took off the hat on her head.

On top of her head are horns that belong to creatures like "devils", but they are not the "goat horns" of the little devils in the dungeon. They are more like... the small red pointed horns of cute devils.

She puffed up her chest proudly and patted her flat chest.

"Yes, it's shocking. I am the empress of the Tenth Castle - Her Highness Lucifer!"

"?"

Shona tilted her head and looked at her.

"Hmm...but we are already outside the dungeon...right?"

After Shona finished speaking, she frowned and looked at Will.

She seems to be expecting Will, who "owns some strange dungeon knowledge," to give her a reasonable answer.

Will also looked left and right and thought, he should be outside the dungeon...

The BOSS of this dungeon that I couldn't see in the dungeon was seen outside the dungeon - what kind of inversion is this?

Wait, actually, "meeting the empress outside the dungeon" is not the "first time" it has happened.

for example……

In the original work, a certain empress sneaked out to drink with the protagonist——

Just when I thought of this, the child in front of me was obviously a little angry because of the disbelieving expressions on the two people's faces:

"You - what's that expression on your face? I think I'm already very scary. Do you dare to believe me? Then... why don't you try the devil's mind-reading skills -"

But……

Just after saying this, an old and bony hand stretched out from the darkness and grabbed her delicate arm.

"Ah - is there a ghost in this, this, this, this!?"

However, what came out of the shadows was a kind old woman holding an orange in her hand. She pushed the orange into Lucifer's hand, like an old woman giving fruit to her granddaughter, and asked her to close her hand.

"Hey, isn't this Xiaolu? Come on, come on, you said you had delicious oranges today, and I picked a few more. Thank you for coming to help today."

"Oh, you're so polite. Anyway, I usually don't have much to do in there. Isn't this to find some work for myself?"

"Then Xiao Lu will come back tomorrow. The old man said that no one has listened to him so seriously about royal politics in a long time."

"OK!"

…

Seeing the "little devil" in one second transform into a good girl in front of the old lady in the next second, Will and Shona didn't dare to say anything.

"Hmm...the empress of the Tenth Castlevania, Lucifer...your highness?"

Shona said this with a bit of fun.

"Well……"

The smile on her face froze, and she turned her head slowly, showing an embarrassed expression.

"You-! And you-!"

Then, the smile turned into a truly terrifying look like a "demon", and black mist began to appear from Lucifer's body.

This is probably a sign that the "Devil" is about to open up.

"Well, I...I believe it. After all, I have read...heard that an empress will appear outside the underground city."

Will rushed to explain, but it seemed it was too late.

"That's all, let you feel what the power of the Queen of the Tenth Castlevania Dungeon 'Lucifer' is -"

Lucifer raised her hand and snapped her fingers in the air.

There was no sound, only the faint sound of two fingers rubbing together could be heard.

Crack.

However, the scene in front of Will's eyes seemed to have changed in an instant. In the blink of an eye, it had turned into a room with a large pink and black bed and all kinds of weird-looking toys—— For example, a puppy with a broken ear and a kitten with one empty eye.

How……

How?

Will stood stunned.

that is……

For some reason, his legs felt a little sore.

And Lucifer sat on the big bed. The bed was soft and she seemed to bounce a little.

Then he crossed his legs and assumed a sitting position that he thought he looked like a queen——

"Welcome to the 30th floor of the 10th Castlevania. As the only remaining Demon Queen in this world, I, Lucifer, sincerely welcome the two of you - I have wanted to say this to the adventurers for a long time! I finally said it! "

"Wow! So awesome!"

Xiuna stood aside and clapped her hands approvingly.

"Wait, Shona, why are we in the dungeon all of a sudden?"

"She probably used the hypnotic illusion that the devil is good at, and deleted the memory of us obeying her request, walking step by step to the dungeon, and then following her up the stairs. It was like teleporting here all at once. Speaking of which, , It turns out that the Queen of the Dungeon needs to slowly climb the stairs from the back door to go to a higher level. This is the first time I have seen it. "

"...That's because the convenient teleportation elevator is temporarily out of service today to save energy! Otherwise, I can show you the Empress' moment..."

Lucifer pouted in retort, then realized something was wrong.

"Wait, why do you have memories?!"

"Because... I gave myself a series of anti-illusion blessings? Moreover, it is the blessing of the goddess Reveirsi, who is a concentrator. Ordinary illusions shouldn't be able to break it, right?"

Shona rubbed her chin and thought, and finally came to this conclusion.

"I see, the devil actually has such power. To be honest, this is the first time I've heard of it."

Will once again lamented that his resistance was really the lowest among all the people. He must be the first one to get the debuff.

Hmm...

However, the devil has such power, why has he never seemed to find out about Treya?

Is it because Treya has always used physical swordsmanship? After all, if you just get the admiration of the devil in the pot, you shouldn't get its full power?

"Hmm... Could it be that I took flour paste and used illusion magic to disguise its taste as sheep brains and served it to you, and you also saw it?"

"……ah?"

What big restaurant scam has Will heard about?

He thought that the free lamb brain dinner he had today was mixed with flour paste, right?

Shona put her hands on her hips, as if she didn't care at all——

"Yeah! But it doesn't matter. As long as the things taste the same, it doesn't seem to matter! Besides, it's the first time I see a demon using illusions like this. It's very interesting!"

"Then...then the bread I eat isn't..."

"That - that's true! I, I, I... I learned... from the uncle who makes the best bread in the town. Then I taught it to others. Human bread is really a complicated food."

Lucifer, who seemed to be the only one who didn't want to be misunderstood, quickly explained what she had done.

Chapter 212 Broken clues

"Okay. Ahem, forget what happened just now. It seems that you are not 'adventurers' who came here by chance... Then, you come to find the empress of the 'Tenth Castlevania' - that is, myself. For what?"

After the noise at the entrance of the dungeon finally became quieter, Will was left with some time to look at Lucifer in front of him.

A boss-type demon girl with a humanoid appearance who is cute, kind-hearted, and even a little clumsy—she can’t even be called a girl based on her appearance.

It seemed that, as she said, she was the empress of the "Tenth Demon City" and the "boss" of the various "low-level" demons who entertained them outside.

So……

What she said seemed to skip hundreds of chapters and reveal the secret of the dungeon. It should also be true——

"Because we need to get the energy from the adventurers' battles to open the dungeon downwards."

Although it sounds strange.
