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

"Right... duel?"

"Both of you seem to feel that you have set a trap for the other person, and you both feel that you have control over the other party - maybe this is what you mean? In the end, it is probably to see who can win with more information."

After Xiuna said it, Will felt that they were indeed somewhat similar.

After all, Treya is not exactly the "pure white princess" she used to be, otherwise she wouldn't have posted a missing person notice.

However, he is still somewhat confident.

As the person who has trained them till now, as the person who possesses the weapon of "original work", as the person who has everything in order so far...

He still believes in his abilities.

Because he relied on this to get to where he is now step by step, relying on the power of "prophet stories".

"Of course, if it were me personally, I wouldn't choose this kind of love. I would still prefer a partner who is a companion, can fight side by side, and understands the other person's preferences and interests better, right?"

After Xiuna finished speaking, she looked at Will with the wine glass in her hand - even though the wine inside was also a black mass, it didn't look good and didn't look like wine.

There seemed to be some expectation on her expression, expecting what answer Will would give.

"Shuna..."

"Well...what did you talk about when I went out to get my things?"

Pfft.

Lucifer's head popped up from under the counter.

"You, you, you, when did you come out? No, when did you leave?"

"I told you to get something...didn't you give me your heart back?"

Her hand pushed forward.

"Well, this is for you."

The thing placed on the table looked like cloth, soft, but the surface was a little rough.

"what is this?"

"Huh, this is my recognition of you!"

Will opened it and took a look.

Although it is a piece of cloth, it is densely covered with words written in ink.

"It's the 'cursed cloth' that has existed since the birth of the Tenth Castle. Although I can't understand what is written on it, but... I guess since the name of this dungeon was 'The Tenth Dungeon' when it was born, Maybe it has something to do with the previous nine dungeons.”

"Is it still inherited?"

"Hmm. Maybe it has a lot of power, but I have never found a way to use it. For you adventurers, after making the sword, tear it into pieces and wrap it around the hilt like a bandage. It may be more powerful than my heart. Easy to use.”

"Thank you...thank you..."

Will really didn't expect that he... would get... recognition from a dungeon queen?

"You are such a great person! If Treya can sit on the throne in the future, I will definitely let her give you a title——!"

"You're crazy, who wants a human title?"

"Well...then we can work hard and let the Adventurers Association give you an A-level rating."

"Are you still grading?"

When Lucifer heard this question, the horns on her head moved.

"It seems that just as humans don't know you, you also know nothing about various things about the Adventurers Association."

Will took the opportunity to laugh at her.

"Is... is it because you are very strong that you are rated this level?"

"Oh, purely after defeating, you will get a little more points."

"Are you trying to rate me high and cut me off? That's too much."

After puffing up her cheeks and saying this, Lucifer suddenly raised her head and looked into the depths of the restaurant.

The little devils flying in the restaurant, the little devils who were constantly transporting ingredients and serving the dishes, also stopped with him at this moment.

"what happened?"

"Dungeon... No. 30, first floor, can be opened."

"Um?!"

Chapter 232 The depth of her fear (3k)

Will and Shona were curious and wanted to know what the next level of the dungeon would be like, so they followed Lucifer to the "backstage" of the dungeon. They followed her around and around the dungeon before passing through. Countless secret doors and small windows, and finally...

Arriving at the room they saw when they first met Lucifer.

That room has the aura of a little girl's boudoir, even the wallpaper is cute and girly.

This time, Will's memory was not erased by Lucifer. However, even if his memory was not erased, he could not remember the way when walking in the "back door" of the dungeon.

"Well... this door was on the [-]th floor before. If you want to see it, just follow it in."

Lucifer stood in front of the wall behind the bed, stretched out her hand, and introduced the two of them.

"Door? Where is the door? Shona, did you see it?"

"Well, it does exist, but...she didn't open it?"

"What?"

When Will and Shona looked at each other, Lucifer walked towards the wall, seemed to make a gesture of turning the door handle, and then...

Disappeared on the wall.

"???"

"what?"

Shona and Will were both stunned and rushed to the wall where Lucifer disappeared.

The two of them carefully inspected the wall from top to bottom.

"In...in my eyes, there is really nothing here!"

"Is there a door crack and a handle? It's just..."

Will watched in surprise as Shona seemed to secretly exert force on the air.

"No, I can't open it."

"What... what's going on?"

Now Will was left alone and confused.In his eyes, the place where Lucifer disappeared was really just "a wall."

There is no "unopenable door" described by Shona, and there is no "open door" that Lucifer has walked through.

Will even tried to touch the place where Lucifer disappeared with his hands.

He knows very well that game planners often leave a backdoor in the modeling so that they can take shortcuts or adjust the perspective when checking.

Is this the wall?

"No. It's just a wall."

There are no door cracks that look like light can shine through, and there are no uneven undulations.

But Lucifer did disappear in front of him, just like walking into a door.

"Strange, why can't you see Will? It's right here..."

"I feel like there's something here that people like me can't see."

Will sighed.

"Alas, I feel once again that my status is so different from yours, and there is an insurmountable gap——"

boom.

Just after saying this, Will was knocked away by Lucifer who seemed to suddenly come out of the wall.

"Hmm... It's a little strange for the young master of the System family to say this... Eh? Will you?"

"The new floor is good, it has new space and resources. I haven't had this experience for a long time." Lucifer stretched, "Eh? Where is Will?"

"I was knocked away by you."

Will got up from the ground and took advantage of this moment to observe the wall again.

He confirmed it.

I really didn't see anything.

But Shona can see the "door" that cannot be opened...?

"Why don't you follow me in? Construction will start in the future. If you want to see the first floor of the empty dungeon, you won't have the chance."

"We can't get in." Shona sighed, "In my eyes, the door is always closed."

"I didn't see any door at all."

Will tapped his hand on the wall.

"Does it mean that no one outside this underground city can see this door?"

Lucifer used her "smart" brain to come to this conclusion.

"This is indeed the first time I know about this."

"It would be weird if a queen of the dungeon had led someone through the dungeon door before, right?"

"as well as……"

Lucifer said, putting another black iron block into Will's hand.

"I just dug it out. I don't know what its value is. Do you want to use it to make a sword?"

Will looked at the piece of iron, and for some reason, the color felt familiar.

It is not pure "black", it seems to have a glaze on it. If I have to say... it looks like "colorful black"?

This color seems to have been seen at a certain angle when the sunlight sweeps over the "Devil's Pot".

Is it because they are all "devils"?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~　　

After everything was over, Will and Shona were ready to leave this lonely dungeon.

Standing at the entrance of the dungeon of the "Tenth Castlevania" where the light shines on where Lucifer meets Lucifer for the first time.

Will thought about it carefully and realized that he only had two days in Zermatt, but he always felt that it was richer than many cities he had visited before.

Probably because... here, I have been in contact with Lucifer for a longer time, and I know more things from Lucifer's mouth.

"Then, we'll go back."

Shona and Lucifer, who came out to see him off, waved.

For her and Will, it was an ordinary "separation".

I have passed through so many underground cities and walked through so many cities, and I have long been accustomed to this process.

but……

"Well, you will...leave Tsemaat Town tomorrow, right?"

"I've said it many times."

"Well……"

Lucifer sighed and put on a smile with great effort.

However, parting with the "adventurer" is not something she often experiences.

After a few breaths, she felt that her heart, which she had held for only two hours, was beating a little slower.
