Chapter 98 – Dungeon, reminiscent memories
Side: ???
When was it, how much time has passed since then……?
Froed
All the things that I had known disappeared that day
No, there was so… a friend remains
But, alas one
That day, my homeland fell to ruin
It completely perished
If it had been a natural disaster I could have at least said, It can’t be helped But the cause ar… People
It was an invasion from another country
…Merciless heresy, slaughter, destruction
It was impossible to protect the people of our nation… , my mother the Queen, my sister the Princess and everyone else… they all died
But I1) survived together with a single ether with her… It was us and us alone who survived that day
…… That sa human
While trying to survive I becaeon Master
That girl I was escaping with took the lead for some reason, but just like for everyone else, escape was impossible The enemy had surrounded the warehouse we escaped to and were justin
At that eon Master from a woman who called herself Goddess
「Do you want to live? …Then use this power The coht to the abilities of a Dungeon Master 」
…I didn’t really understand much of it
But I figured out how to use the skills of a Dungeon Master
So I instantly eon in the warehouse and desperately escaped into it
After a long and brutal struggle, we ed to kill all those hateful soldiers who chased us with traps and monsters
Then, together with that girl, I started caleon After a few days passed, I started getting curious about the state outside and went to have a look…
It was all gone It looked like soht on top of our beloved City, destroying all and killing all The castle was reduced to a red pile of rubble and seerounds, the streets were still burning and al air to breath, there weren’t any survivors
After another day we used to recover ouraround our forether
But nohad been burned away
…No survivors
No, when I think about it, therean entire nations worth of people is an almost impossible task So I hope that they had already run away and I was si in ability to find anyone
After a few , she e
(???)「Young master… What should we do?」
(???)「…… I never thought that even here… Hey, Anna 2)How far are we from other countries?」
(Anna)「…… Let’s see On foot…… It would take around two months… 」
(???)「… Really As we are now, that’s not really possible since we’ve already used most of our reserves… 」
I vaguely understood our situation
Even if we go to another country after this, ould only be treated as refugees
More to the point, I can’t even say that I auarantee our safety… even slavery is a possibility
(???)「Anna Listen, I think I will store up power in the Dun
geon under the Royal Capital for a while Father and Mother… my people too I want to mourn them properly ……What about you?」
(Anna)「I think that’s a nice idea This Anna will stay together with the Young Master to the end 」
(???)「…… Thank you 」
With that, Anna and I returned to our Dungeon inside the Royal Capital We used the monsters there to clear away the rubble, bury the dead and mourn everyone lost
I felt sorry for any random people that came and reacted to theinside the Dungeon so it orth it Besides most of those random people were probably from “there”3)
For awhile, time passed relatively peacefully just like that4)
The ruined Capital was sloeathered and forgotten Eventually adventurers ca treasures
(Anna)「Young Master Another intruder 」
(???)「Once again, make them leave quietly Intercept the cruel treatment, then protect them 」
On
(Anna)「Our relationshi+p with hi one 」
(???)「Yes, he has protected us ever since the Royal Capital fell 」
Dullahan is the result of sudom fell The DP cost was all of it, but at the time I didn’t think twice about it
His level was 130 and he could stand shoulder to shoulder with the legendary Heroes and
Now, after countless battles in the Dungeon, his level has risen to 150
Like that, when I saw Dullahan off, a sirl rushed over from another direction
(Anna)「Raie6)-sama Where is Dullahan-san?」
A girl is looking around restlessly, searching for Dullahan
This girl was, according to the plan of the adventurers who brought her, going to be used as a decoy if they were to find theht spot
I had discussed it with Anna several tiet in touch with soet her out, but adventurers cannot be trusted
We tried to set up peaceful discussionsto slaughter us and took Anna as a hostage, they regretted that though
That said, she is now our important family member
(Raie)「Lilli He went out to work 」
(Lilli)「Eh!? I’ll also go!! I’ll defeat the adventurers!! Raie-saht to bully any of you!! 」
(Raie)「Ah, calm down It will be fine, okay?」
(Lilli)「…Promise?」
(Raie)「Yes, he is very strong 」
And that’s how our daily lives went
…Someday, I believed someone would come and talk to us
——————- Time-skip to present ————————–
(Anna)「Raie-sama, today marks 225 years 」
(Raie)「You’re not counting well I have the feeling that I have experienced close to twenty years Anna too is also young 」
(Lili)「Though it’s strange, I got used to it Mou, I’! 」
It’s been 225 years since Anna started counting the age of the Dungeon
The Dungeon I made now has a town built around it, there is also an Adventurer Guild and it’s very crowded
We are now in a state of constant increase and decrease in my comrades 7)
With rant them eternal youth But there weren’t many people ished for that
Even if they can still die from external causes, thethat isn’t hue or succus
This village is the result of a group of slaves trying hard to help in the Dungeon to make a home In the end, no one has reached this place to talk to us beforetheir demise
(Raie)「It ht be selfish, but…… 」
(Anna)「I do not regret having perpetual youth now 」
(Lilli)「No, I don’t h, if I could use it for an all-you-can-eat Raina-sama8) and Anna-san…… Fuee!」
(Raie)「Cough Lilli9), enough of that …… 」
(Lilli)「Aa, I’m sorry 」
Well, even if e beyond that of a child, I’es and desires pertaining women, those 3 are my friends
In consideration of a child, I think we can’t do it, but I think that I still want to do it one day
(Lilli)「Well then, I’m off to the Adventurer Guild 」
(Raie)「Yes, be careful Lilli 」
(Anna)「Please re 」
(Lilli)「Yes」
Today as well, Lilli is going through her routine She’s visiting the Adventurer Guild to cash in so back some articles from the town outside
Because it’d be bad if it’s discovered by anyone that she has eternal youth, every 30 years there’s about 10 years where she doesn’t go outside, but right now is her activity time
Lilli is also becoer than Dullahan was in the beginning
Incidentally, Dullahan is now level 310 I think if a De or a Hero were to coainst him
I see, that’s what they mean by natural disaster
And today is a fateful day for us……
(Raie)「Huh！?」
(Anna)「What!?」
Anna’s and my voices went loud
(Anna)「What the!? Isn’t that impossible!?」
(Raie)「We ca-cannot control the Dungeon!? Does thatsnatched away!?」
That very sa the adventurers ere trying to capture the Dungeon, I noticed an abnormality, I lost control of the first floor for some reason……
And then, the number of floors I can control decreased every 7 minutes
(Raie)「Anna, there are adventurers breaking in right?! Check them! 」
(Anna)「Yes, I’ve confirmed it, 55 adventurers in total!! 」
(Raie)「Inspect everyone’s status Soe must be mixed in!! 」
(Anna)「Very well I’ll try contacting Lilli using a Doppel as well ! 」
(Raie)「Please!! 」
However, control of the Dungeon is
…5 hours
That’s the time it took them to overthrow my control down to the 47th out of 50 floors
