Corruption in the dungeon

EP.5 Chapter 5 In a week, her pussy will be ripe and moist. 

I didn't expect holy power to resist demonic energy.

Amy also thought she would turn to dust like Andy.

'The amount of experience gained was different.'

Andy, who only increased simple experience points without leveling up.

Amy, who leveled up without even touching her vitality.

The energy they possessed was visibly different.

So that means.

'It seems the experience points differ depending on the mana possessed.'

It appeared that opponents without a certain level of mana would turn to dust like Andy.

"Y-You couldn't break my devout faith."

Amy, covering her chest with both hands, shouted at me while panting.

Just because my power that killed Andy couldn't kill her, Amy thought she had won.

Does she think demonic energy doesn't work on her?

It's just cute to see her making a victory declaration while shrugging her shoulders over something insignificant.

Shall I play along for a while?

"Impressive. More than I thought."

"Th-The power of God is not something you can take lightly."

Though still trembling from the lingering climax, she was reaffirming her firm faith.

Even if she doesn't die from absorption, if she ends up in a situation where she can't return alive, wouldn't that complete the quest?

"I wonder how long that so-called power of God will last."

"Wh-What?"

I tied Amy's arms and legs.

"Let's see if you can still say such things in the dungeon's underground prison."

"I will never, ever, give up."

I tied her up and entered the dungeon.

To the main hall where Yulia was waiting.

"Yulia."

"You've returned."

"...A succubus?"

Amy's eyes wavered upon seeing the succubus Yulia's polite greeting.

"Lock this woman in the underground prison. I'd like you to cast a spell that moderately clouds her judgment. We need to verify if her faith is truly sincere. Also, to test that power of God she speaks of."

"As expected... You have great insight. I understand why you didn't kill her."

Yulia, impressed by something insignificant, bowed her head and received the bound Amy.

"W-Wait a moment! A succubus? For such a demon to have that attitude towards you... Just who are you...?"

Amy trembled, seemingly shocked.

Her jaw quivered and her teeth chattered.

"I'd like you to show me how far that devout faith of yours can go."

"Pl-Please..."

She begged.

It wasn't a plea to God.

I saw her eyes fixed on me.

However, I wasn't leisurely enough to grant a human's plea.

"I'll prepare her so you can fully enjoy her."

She took Amy and headed to the underground prison.

Yulia will prepare Amy very deliciously.

She didn't seem like an ordinary succubus after all.

"P-Please spare m... mmph!"

Amy was dragged away before she could finish her words.

She'll handle it.

It was interesting to see how holy power protected her body, but that wasn't my main concern.

My main concern was clearing this world.

More precisely, surviving.

'If the dungeon is conquered due to poor preparation, my end will be death.'

Therefore, I had to focus on strengthening the dungeon more than ever.

Amy's power was just a side quest to figure out in the meantime.

'Give me the reward.'

I definitely cleared the tutorial.

Then before my eyes.

[You have completed the quest.]

[Quest Reward: 2000 Fame, Guaranteed 3-star Monster Summon Ticket]

[You have performed a special condition: Eliminated enemies single-handedly as the Demon King]

[Additional Reward: Demon Sword Arubis (Unique)]

There are several ways to summon monsters.

You can wait for them to naturally occur using the corpses and mana of adventurers absorbed in the dungeon.

Or you can create them through summon tickets obtained as quest rewards like now.

To create a 3-star monster without using a summon ticket would require quite a lot of resources.

A monster that would require killing about 100 adventurers of the level that just invaded.

That's how powerful it was.

At least it was a kind of indication that this game cared about newbies.

'Yet most of them got wrecked in the mid-game.'

It was absurd that this was because I didn't watch the erotic scenes.

Setting aside monster summoning for now.

I looked at the demon sword Arubis.

Demon Sword Arubis.

It was a weapon easy to use in the early stages, granting powerful strength in exchange for consuming the user's life force per second.

I used this weapon for quite a long time in the actual game.

'I used to delete enemy elite units using this sword and the Demon King's strong early-game stats.'

It was a fairly effective tactic.

Although it was a tactic I couldn't use after those elites became as strong as unawakened Demon King-level beings.

Now that my level has increased, things will be different.

Because I know it's not just about raising the Demon King with simple items.

I grasped the handle of Arubis received as a reward.

Whoosh.

I could feel it stealing demonic energy from my hand.

I estimated how long I could fully operate after drawing this sword.

'2 hours.'

This should be enough.

I won't need to use it for longer than this for now.

I examined the sword.

The demonic energy forcibly stolen from me gradually imbued the blade.

Like the sword aura raised by a knight.

"Shall we see how it performs?"

I swung the sword towards a pillar supporting the dungeon.

Thunk!

The blade embedded itself into the pillar.

Despite penetrating about 10 centimeters into the pillar, the sword wasn't damaged at all.

'As expected, it's good.'

It will easily cut through weapons of those who can't handle mana.

Yes, this is what a reward should be like.

"This weapon will do for now."

Lastly, I checked the guaranteed monster summon ticket received as a quest reward.

A summon ticket that randomly gives a monster of 3 stars or higher.

"I hope something good comes out."

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that my future dungeon life depends on what comes out here.

'Anything but a centaur.'

The worst monster among 3-stars.

As long as it's not that one, it's fine.

Inwardly praying for a good monster to appear, I tore the summon ticket.

Rip!

As soon as I tore it, an ominous black light burst forth and.

-Grrrr.

A gargoyle with its entire body made of stone appeared.

As the monster with a huge size of nearly 4 meters appeared, I felt the main hall fill with its overwhelming presence.

[You have drawn a 3-star monster Gargoyle. It will automatically be bound to the dungeon.]

[Gargoyle: 3-star Gigantic Monster]

[Skill: Petrification]

[Attribute: None]

[Combat power doubles if a surprise attack succeeds.]

"Oh, this is not bad?"

A gargoyle was quite a good monster among 3-stars.

Monsters are basically classified according to their form.

Gigantic, Beast, Ghost, Demon, Undead, Human, etc.

Beast types have strong attack power and good health, but tend to try to escape without being bound to the dungeon.

Ghost types are invincible against physical power but are powerless against priests.

Demon types are strong in magic but include many beings like succubi or vampires that have restrictions on their activities.

Undead types are made from corpses after death, with nearly infinite health but very low durability.

Gigantic monsters are often used as dungeon bosses because they have good strength and durability despite low speed.

A monster mainly used as a dungeon boss.

Isn't this just right for me now?

-Grrrr.

The gargoyle that met my eyes after being summoned immediately bowed its head.

"It's docile."

It was obedient unlike its appearance.

I patted the head of the creature bowing to me.

"From now on, you'll be the gatekeeper guarding the entrance to the boss room."

-Grrrr.

It seemed to understand and nodded.

A demon sword and a gatekeeper as rewards for the tutorial quest.

"Not bad."

[You have acquired the necessary fame. Your dungeon will be upgraded from F-rank to E-rank.]

The dungeon's rank was upgraded with 2000 fame.

Just because the rank increased doesn't mean the dungeon suddenly becomes stronger or can summon stronger monsters.

Fame is just a number that shows at a glance how famous the dungeon is on the continent.

The more famous the dungeon, the stronger and more numerous adventurers come to conquer it.

The highest fame I reached when I was conquering was A.

After that, the difficulty increased dramatically, so raising fame also required some control.

'For example, deliberately failing quests.'

Things like that.

There's no need to worry yet though.

Just then, Yulia, who had taken Amy to the underground prison, returned.

"I've dealt with the human woman as you ordered."

"Did you do it properly?"

"Yes, I engraved a lust rune on her and put on a blindfold that shows illusions. Even a human with strong willpower will open her moist pussy in a week."

"Hmm, you handled it well."

"Would you like to see now?"

"Can we see it from here?"

"If you wish, my lord."

When I nodded, Yulia took out a white crystal ball.

Light spread from the crystal ball and projected a screen in mid-air.

What is this, some kind of hologram?

The screen showed Amy, blindfolded and with her limbs bound, curled up and writhing on the prison floor.

-I, I won't give up... G-God will ahh! Pro-protect me... kuhb...

I saw her eyes fixed on me.

It wasn't a plea to God.

However, I wasn't leisurely enough to grant a human's plea.

She recited God's prayer even though no one was listening.

She's not reciting it for anyone to hear.

It must be a prayer to strengthen her weakening will.

Amy, engraved with the succubus Yulia's lust rune, flinched even though nothing was touching her body.

"She should be immersed in the illusions shown by her desires by now."

"Is she in a sleeping state?"

"Half-asleep."

"Interesting."

I can definitely tell she's not an ordinary succubus.

"What will you do with the adventurers' corpses?"

Yulia asked as I was quietly appreciating Amy.

"The corpses?"

"Their souls still remain in their bodies, so we could make them into ghosts or undead."

"There's no point in making them into zombies or skeletons. Ordinary ghosts can't protect the dungeon."

"Then..."

"Absorb them all. I'll create monsters when the time comes."

"Understood."

Right now, gathering power was more important than summoning monsters.

And using that gathered power to create traps useful in the early stages.

However, I couldn't just rely on previous memories for the strategy.

Originally, I would have installed spike traps that could easily deal with low-level adventurers.

But knowing the Demon King's characteristic of getting stronger by having sex with women, I should vary the strategy.

The first trap I'll create is.

I said to Yulia.

"Use the gathered power to create an aphrodisiac trap."

It's a strategy that kills two birds with one stone - blocking incoming adventurers and raising my experience points at the same time.

Of course, I'll have to see how effective it is by trying it out.

"Understood."
