Chapter 102: Dubolong’s Request (3)

Yiing!

The dungeon’s top floor.

A crack occurred near the core. It was unstable like it wouldn’t last long.

But I had already made my decision. There was no hesitation. I stepped into the crack.

The only thing I could see was darkness. But there was a light. It was shining from far away and seemed to be the exit. I walked out of the light into a wide room.

I looked at the one standing in front of me.

“Welcome, Randalph Brigsiel-nim. I believed you would come.”

Dubolong, who was still dressed as a clown, bowed respectfully.

Dubolong. Cool-headed and resourceful. A poisonous scammer. The best henchman for the Dark Spirit King. He was the spirit that greeted me directly, it was natural since he invited me in the first place.

I nodded.

“I am looking forward to meeting the Dark Spirit King.”

“You won’t regret it.”

“But this isn’t the castle I previously appeared in.”

The room was similar to the previous times I had been summoned, but the magic power was subtly different. Dubolong laughed and said.

“You noticed. Yes. This isn’t the castle.”

“Is there a reason?”

I gave a slight frown and placed my hand on Wrath. I didn’t like that he summoned me to another place without prior notice. If I wasn’t convinced by his excuses then I would mercilessly use Wrath on Dubolong.

Dubolong started sweating as he spoke. A high class spirit wouldn’t be easy to take down. I wouldn’t kill him if I didn’t have to.

“The spies of other spirit kings have broken into the castle. They forcefully opened a crack and attacked the Dark Spirit King. Please be understanding…”

The Dark Spirit King was ambitious. He ate up contracts and opened the Demon World Auction. He could do that by sacrificing numerous spirits. The other spirit kings had noticed.

But the timing was too fast; it took 10 years for this to occur in my previous life. The Dark Spirit King started a war shortly after gathering a large number of points.

‘My movements are affecting the Spirit World.’

My movements were the only thing different from my previous life. I had exposed myself in the Demon World Auction. Perhaps the points I used influenced this event? It was like small wings causing a big typhoon that caused a seismic shift…

“Strange. Would it really be that easy to defeat the Dark Spirit King?”

Dubolong’s forehead furrowed.

“Huu! Do you know the mythical creature from the Middle World called the Shadow Emperor?”

A familiar name. I nodded.

“I know.”

“We could never touch the treasure trove he left behind, no…to be honest, it was absolutely impossible, but recently there were signs of a dimensional move. The other spirits dispatched a military force and used it for navigation.”

Ah, that was the cause. Now the fog had cleared. The spirits were interested in many things on the Middle World. Something happening in the Middle World would naturally catch their interest. I was directly related to the matter.

“It wasn’t due to the Demon World Auction.”

“That’s right. The dark spirits are repelled by light spirits. The fire and wind spirits are also troublesome to deal with together. So it can’t hurt to be careful.”

“You also want to grasp my growth. Isn’t that right?”

Reading such weak magic power would be a moderate estimate of my growth. They deliberately made the room like this. Their intentions were so obvious that I couldn’t help laughing. It was annoying but the dark spirits were originally like this.

“Would I do that? I have a life-long relationship with Randalph-nim!”

Dubolong waved his hand. I released my hand from Wrath.
