As a villain, I raised a defeated dog to become a black boss

"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 her."

"...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 at the level of the 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, and he must be the first one to get the debuff.

Well……

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?"

"……what?"

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——

"Yes! 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 accidentally... 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 - judging by her appearance, she can't even be called a girl.

It seemed that, as she said, she was the empress of the "Tenth Castle" 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.

but……

As Will who has seen the original work, he believes that this should be one of the settings that exists in the original work but has not been revealed.

After all, when he entered here, the original work had just finished writing that three defeated dogs were killed in an explosion, and each of them headed for a fate far away from Xiu, while Xiu reconciled with the empress at the "top of the galaxy" and moved towards the true destiny of Xiu. The "Inside the Dungeon Circle" section.

If the energy to open dungeons comes from adventurers' battles...

It seems that all the weird operations in the original Empress make sense.

For example, adventurers who have obvious intentions of retreating are not killed. Although the contents of each level of the dungeon can be arranged at will, they are still arranged in increasing difficulty, and "flaws" are deliberately sold on some levels to increase the sense of accomplishment. They'll come back for the challenge next time - why does it sound like something a game planner should do?

She does seem to be a little different from other dungeon emperors. She doesn't "know about it" but "tells it without reservation."

Will looked at Shona.

Her hand was actually always close to the leg ring where the dagger was placed, and her expression looked relaxed and chatting. In fact, she seemed to be ready to fight at any time.

but……

Will always felt something was strange.

His purpose in standing in the [-]th Castlevania was actually to "find the materials from the [-]th Castlevania that can be used to make a sword dedicated to the yandere princess."

but……

In the past, he and Shona would go here because they needed to know one thing——

Where did the "green stone" that came here from the original game come from?Who brought it in?

Why...it seemed like they heard an incorrect answer from Lucifer's mouth?

It's like asking what 1+1 equals and being answered "obtuse angle".

What they really want to hear is not "the secret of underground city operation", but...

Xiuna turned her head and glanced at him, said "You're secretly looking at me again" in reply, nodded as if knowingly, and then stepped forward.

"There are indeed very critical questions. Because... someone recommended us to come to you. She said we can get the answers we want from here."

"Someone...recommended?" Lucifer seemed even more surprised by this matter. "It has been almost three months since there has been a challenge from an adventurer. How could..."

"We have been looking for the source of an object. And the source of this object seems to be somewhat related to the struggle within the dungeon..."

Shona took out the fragments of the "Green Stone" she had taken out countless times from her pocket.

Although it was only broken into small pieces like slag, the manufacturer or someone who had used it would still be able to tell at a glance that there was something wrong with this thing.

after all……

The random things the game artist painted are so obvious!

Spreading her hands, she pushed it in front of Lucifer's eyes.

"Yes, that's it. Are you the maker? Or do you know the maker..."

"Well……"

Lucifer carefully picked up the small piece of gravel with her fingers and held it up to the light to examine it.

Her expression was serious.

He seems to have an "I know this thing" look on his face!

There is a play!

——Just when Will and Shona thought so.

"What is this thing that looks like scraps from the mining area that are on display at a third-rate stall?"

"..."

what! ?

After a brief silence, Shona and Will looked at each other in confusion.

It was Lucy's turn to panic, as she was not very experienced in the world.

"What, what's wrong, I, I, I...did I do something wrong? Why do you look at me like this?"

Will rushed forward, snatched the stone from her hand, then grabbed her shoulders and shook it in front of her eyes.

"Look again, you really don't recognize it?"

"I really... really don't know him."

She showed circles around her eyes.

"No adventurers have been here this year. A year ago... they didn't seem to have seen it."

broken.

Will's heart tightened.

They originally followed this clue to the Queen of the Moon Ice Pole, Colodai, who might have cut the stone. Through this, they met Leah's mother Lisi, who was suspected to be the transporter of the stone.

but now……

clue……

broken?

Was the clue given by Liz wrong?

Or did they fail to understand what Liz meant by the answer she wanted?

No, no, no, it seems a little strange to believe in Liz.Liz may be the witch who transports green rocks to various dungeons!On the one hand, she is in the same group with that group of people, and on the other hand, she is a witch who is very playful. It seems that her words are not trustworthy...

I can only say that the identity of "Lea's mother" is too confusing.

"Then... that... I really don't know you. Can... can you let me go? I'm just a spiritual boss, and the devil's body is still very fragile."

Will let go of his hand.

He found that he seemed to be really anxious and acted a little harshly.There were red handprints on Lucifer's exposed shoulders.

"It was a bit harsh, I'm sorry."

"Uh... Actually, it's quite strange that you, an adventurer, attacked the queen of the dungeon and then apologized..."

Lucifer shrank back on the bed as if a little scared, and then spoke.

Forget it, it doesn't matter.

This clue originally appeared in a strange way without beginning or end.

If it wasn't exactly the same as the props in the game, he might not even care.

Cutting off in a no-brainer way is something we have to accept.

can only say……

The people who made it were really careful.

It's the same as fearing that others will discover the secret behind it.

The BOSS level, which was still joking around happily, now seems to have reached a freezing point.

Xiuna seemed to be thinking about something and kept silent.

Will was waiting for Shona's reply.

In this silence, the one who seemed most eager to break the awkwardness was the emperor of the dungeon——

Lucifer looked left and right. She was now like a child who had done something wrong and wanted to make up for it.

"Well, I...it doesn't matter if I don't know about it. You...as adventurers, don't you have something to want when you come to challenge the dungeon? This is a rare dungeon dominated by demons. , don’t you want to get some rare materials?”

Chapter 213 "I want your heart"

Will was startled by her sudden plea.

"Devil's materials have many uses. For example, the devil's wings are very good for soaking in poison. The horns on the devil's head can be used as luminous products in dark dungeons. The tail seems to be mostly used as a sex toy. I have to say If so, the devil's heart has good resistance and black magic carrying capacity..."

Seeing no reaction from the two people, she kept talking and counted them one by one as if she had memorized a manuscript.

How humble!

It’s hard to imagine that the queen of the dungeon could reach this level.

At least most of the empresses that Will has seen sit on their seats and wait for adventurers to come forward and engage in a life-and-death battle.

but……

He looked at Lucifer, who still retained some dignity as an empress, sitting upright and holding her hands.

Her expression, eyes, and words seemed to be reaching out to pull the sleeves of both of them, looking up with tears, asking them if they could stay as adventurers for a little longer.

Is this dungeon really so short of adventurers that it needs to send materials?

"You really please us very much."

"So...don't you consider having some? Use the number of battles you have in exchange."

"That's it."

For Will, he was going to take the devil's things from here, and he would definitely not return empty-handed.

But, he was thinking about what was really useful here.
