Chapter – 47
EP.47 Ominous Clouds Over the Sael Kingdom
The trait True Dungeon Master has been activated.
Would you like to use this hunter as a sacrifice for your dungeon?
A new notification appeared.
And this time, it wasnt on my smartphone but right in front of my eyes.
Is it the effect of the trait?
An EX-rank trait, without any explanation written, making it impossible to know its exact ability.
At least, I seemed to understand how to operate it based on the current notification.
I looked at Ji Tae-hoons corpse.
Should I take this guy as the sacrifice?
It was already done, without hesitation, I made Ji Tae-hoons corpse a sacrifice.
The corpse of a C-rank hunter has been taken as a sacrifice.
As the notification appeared, heat emanated from Ji Tae-hoons corpse.
Soon, blue flames surged and engulfed the corpse, swiftly rising around it.
The corpse was immediately consumed by the vigorous force of the flames, gently igniting and burning.
Blue flames.
They gradually strengthened, illuminating the dark dungeon brightly, and the radiant light shimmered as a faint breeze gently swayed the surroundings.
The corpse gradually disappeared along with the flames.
Finally, nothing remained in the place where the flames swept through but the cold floor of the dungeon.
After a brief contemplation, another notification appeared.
Please choose the reward you will receive for the sacrifice.
1. Upgrade the core of the dungeon
2. Upgrade the altar of the dungeon
3. Create an empty dungeon
The notification presented three options to choose from.
I examined the explanations for each option one by one.
[Dungeon Core Upgrade]: The essential organ known as the heart of all dungeons. Upgrading the dungeon core increases its durability and expands the power of the dungeon.Read latest chapters at nov(e)lbin.com Only
I hesitated for a moment.
Was there a need to upgrade the dungeon core right now?
Of course, the importance of the core was so crucial that even mentioning it was an understatement.
If the core is destroyed, the dungeon is also destroyed.
And if my dungeon is destroyed, I die too, knowing that made neglecting the dungeon core impossible.
But my dungeon currently boasts tremendous power.
Once, the rank of my dungeon fluctuated between bronze and iron grades.
There was an alert some time ago that my dungeons rank was upgraded to silver.
But when I looked at it, evaluating it as just a silver rank seemed unreasonable.
Already, from Celia, who is a 6-star, to Death Knight and Goblin Lord, and even the Lich, which is scheduled for promotion to 5-star.
Initially, when I thought of it as just a game, I accepted it as an in-game balance.
But now, even I could see.
Its definitely not weak.
This is not just at the level of defending the dungeon. If there were no restrictions on the range to leave the dungeon, it was already powerful enough to attempt continent conquest.
So, lets pass on this.
Although I was curious about expanding the power of the dungeon, it wasnt something to consider right away. In fact, I had already decided on what to choose in my mind.
Upgrade the altar.
Until now, even if I wanted to upgrade the altar, I couldnt, but now I finally got a clue. Of course, before making the choice, I checked the explanation for option 3.
[Create an empty dungeon]: Generates an empty dungeon at the desired location. The rank of the dungeon that can be created varies depending on the stats of the sacrifice.
The sacrifice I just made was the corpse of a C-rank hunter. With this, could I only create an empty dungeon at most?

Dungeon creation
Dungeon creation was undoubtedly good, but there was one thing I had to be careful about. Both Azmos dungeon that I dedicated to, and the newly created dungeon had one annoying point in common, the dungeon core.
If my original dungeon is destroyed, I die too. So, what happens when Azmos dungeon or this new dungeon is created?
I immediately touched the smartphone screen to check the dungeon list.
Updating the dungeon list.
[Dungeon List]
[Nest of the Evil God]
Administrator: Celia ()
Assistant: Vacant
Subordinates managed dungeons: [Red-Headed Tribe], [Village Shrouded in Mist], [Remnants of the Abyss], [Sticky Puddle]
Special Note: There exists a dungeon core connected to the master, Lee Kang-hyun.
[Temptation of Illusions]
Administrator: Vacant
Assistant: Vacant
The list of dungeons I possessed appeared. Perhaps due to acquiring a new trait, the system had changed a bit.
As expected, theres only one core directly connected to me.
In reality, only Nest of the Evil God was directly connected to my soul among the dungeons I owned. And I also knew that even if it is practically ruled, unless its like Azmo, sacrificing the dungeon, it appears as a subordinate dungeon.
There shouldnt be a problem.
If Azmos dungeon or a newly created dungeon collapses, as long as my original dungeon remains intact, it doesnt matter.
When I was about to close the game to choose the reward slowly.
Oh, the Administrator should make the choice.
Azmos dedicated dungeon currently had a vacancy for the administrator. Anyway, it was obvious who to choose as the administrator.
[Temptation of Illusions]
Administrator: Azmo ()
Since I had to experiment at least once, without hesitation, I chose the latter.
I was sending Ji Seong-min directly to my dungeon.
To which dungeon would you like to send this hunter?
[Nest of the Evil God]
[Temptation of Illusions]
Any dungeon I owned was fine.
For now, I planned to keep Ji Seong-min alive. I would extract various information from him in the future.
In the Nest of the Evil God, there was Succubus Celia.
In the Temptation of Illusions, on the contrary, there was Incubus Azmo.
After a brief contemplation, I made a decision.
As expected, the Incubus dungeon would be better, right?
If its an Incubus, being another man, he shouldnt cause any harm.
Nodding my head, I immediately chose the Temptation of Illusions dungeon.
As soon as I made the choice, the same blue flames as before enveloped Ji Seong-min.
Eek!
Startled by the sudden flames, Ji Seong-min screamed.
However, it didnt last long. The scream disappeared along with the flames. In the place where Ji Seong-min was, only the dungeon floor could be seen.
Staring at the floor, I opened my mouth.
Stop it and come out. I already know youre there.
I had known that monsters were around me since earlier.
It was just that I left them alone because it was an F-rank dungeon.
At most, there were only basic skeletons in this place.

Rattle
In response to my words, the skeletons made noise and started moving. Among them, a skeleton soldier came forward and looked at me.
Clack, clack, clack.
The skeleton soldier, looking at me, moved its jawbone. Then it bent its waist, not bending like a living being.
Huh?
Clearly, only the sound of bones moving was heard, However.
Clack, clack, clack. (Oh, great existence.)
Clack, clack. (Please look down upon us and be our great creator and owner of the dungeon.)
Their voices began to be audible. Usually, intelligent monsters could speak, so people could understand them unless they had the Tamer trait.
However, the words of monsters like skeletons were incomprehensible without the Tamer trait. I immediately turned my head towards Maru.
Maru, try talking.
In response to my words, Maru immediately started making noise.
Clack, clack, clack- (You are great and a great creator and the master of our dungeon)
Enough.
I raised my hand to stop Marus mouth.
Huh Is this also thanks to the trait?
I discovered another ability of the trait.
====
***
====
The king responsible for the Sael Kingdom, Karendia Dersael.
Currently, his expression was as cold as ice. There were several nobles in front of Karendia, but everyone was just watching without opening their mouths.
After a while, someone opened their mouth.
Your Majesty, the misconduct of these people is getting worse day by day.
As soon as that word was spoken, whispers were heard here and there.
Yes! Surely, they plan to subdue the kingdom by using the name of the White Order! After one priest went missing, now twenty holy knights have disappeared! And it happened here in our Sael Kingdom!
The nobles nodded in agreement.
Initially, when the White Order reported the disappearance of one priest and proposed sending an Inquisitor, I agreed, not wanting to escalate the situation. However, this time, they crossed the line. They claimed that not just one priest, but twenty holy knights had gone missing, and the White Order informed they would send not only the Inquisitor but also holy knights.
The first disappearance of the priest was undoubtedly a lie! Its time to show our strength to them!
The voices of the nobles grew louder. Watching this from the beginning was someone who had been observing the situation from the start, Princess Elena, beside King Karendia Dersael.
Elena, the princess of the Sael Kingdom, was the kings illegitimate daughter and, unless there were issues, the next in line to become the queen after her father. Elena observed the nobles with a twisted expression.
Disgusting scoundrels.
Their loud voices were not genuinely concerned about the Sael Kingdom. Instead, they wanted to use the White Order to undermine the kings authority. However, they didnt want the king to fall. They hoped to elevate their own noble authority while keeping the king as a mere figurehead for the kingdom.
Elena glanced at her father.
Father is probably aware of this
Elena looked away again. She adjusted her expression to appear mild, but the slight trembling of her clenched fist couldnt be hidden.
In truth, she knew as well. Her father must be aware of these facts yet chose to remain silent.
I need to grow stronger.
A king without power is a lonely one. Watching her father in such a state, Elena keenly felt the truth.
Moreover, if she were to ascend to the throne, the situation wouldnt change much from the current one.
To alter the predetermined future, strength was necessary.
Even if it means making a pact with the devil.!
The fortune of the Sael Kingdom began to shift.
