Chapter – 53
EP.53 Monster Wave (1)
Now that an assistant had been assigned in the dungeon managed by Azmo, the overall shape was slowly taking form. I also selected another assistant. There was no urgent need to draw more, especially with the current monster.
Moreover, depending on the species, they reproduce on their own.
In cases like that, monsters often reproduced among themselves. A notable example was the blood-sucking butterflies in Area 3 of the first floor.
Even without additional gacha, their numbers were steadily increasing.
Being insect-type monsters, their reproduction speed was fast, so as long as an ecosystem was established, there were no significant issues.
So, should we try drawing miscellaneous items now?
It seemed like a good time to shift focus to something else.
How about drawing miscellaneous items?
The description mentioned that equipment, weapons, or skills mainly came out in miscellaneous item draws. To be honest, I had tried a miscellaneous item draw once before.
Back then, only trash items came out.
While I couldnt get a 1-star item from monster draws, the miscellaneous item draws contained items that could easily be called trash.
Unnecessary things like twigs, leaves, and even rocks came out. Fortunately, the dress Celia was currently wearing was among the draws. If not for that, I would have been quite upset.
However, completely avoiding miscellaneous item draws was not an option. Just by looking at Celias clothes, there were various options available. Even though the item obtained wasnt from draws, the maid outfit Celia had worn before had enchanting characteristics.
If I can draw just one really good thing, its a profit.
With that thought in mind, I attempted to touch the miscellaneous item draw option in the shop window.
Ding
However, before pressing it, an alert popped up.
The number of monsters in your dungeon Temptation of Illusion has reached a certain level.
Adjust the population through expanding the dungeon or using monster waves.
You can choose settings for the monster wave.
It was an alert stating that the number of monsters in the dungeon was full. Looking at Azmos dungeon status, it seemed that the recent increase in ghouls was the cause.
How many did he capture, exactly?
The increase in ghouls was likely due to the Death Knights.
Due to the Death Knights skill, any being killed by it would be reborn as a ghoul.
In Azmos original dungeon, which was an Incubus dungeon, having so many ghouls meant that the Death Knight had caught a lot of intruders.
The intruders might be people like me, but I didnt particularly feel sympathy for them.
After all, the one rushing to steal something first was the other party. I only tried to block them to protect what was mine.
Indeed, the number of ghouls is extraordinary.
With the assignment of an Assistant, the dungeon seemed even narrower.
Well by the way, is it possible to configure the Monster Wave?
Monster Wave. It referred to the phenomenon where monsters emerged from the dungeon. The most plausible hypothesis was that when the dungeon was full of monsters, it pushed them out.
Based on the explanation now, its hard to say its entirely wrong.
The Monster Wave settings window was straightforward.
The Monster Wave settings involved specifying the range and determining how many monsters to release.
Of course, I could choose to avoid the Monster Wave immediately by expanding the dungeon size.
However, considering the situation where monsters would breed among themselves in the future, I needed to take that into account.
I couldnt manually check each dungeon under my control every time the number increased.
Lets set it up for now.
Luckily, it wasnt necessary to set up each dungeon in detail. There was also an option for the dungeon manager or assistant to make judgments and take action on their own.
I guess this is better.
Considering that these monsters had shown some intelligence so far and sometimes produced better results with appropriate neglect, I chose this option without hesitation.
Azmo should handle it well on his own, right?
Curious about how Azmo would respond to the current situation, I intentionally didnt expand the dungeon size.
Hell probably send the ghouls out of the dungeon first.
Ill just do some draws for now.

Why the hell do we have to put up with this?
A hunter patrolling around the dungeon expressed his dissatisfaction.
Another person next to him spoke up, also discontentedly.
We should just complain if were at the bottom. Well, what can we do?
The individuals belonged to the Phoenix Guild, and the place they were guarding an Incubus dungeon.
It was the dungeon that Jung Woo-jin, the second son of the Phoenix Guilds leader, entered to subjugate.
Of course, it failed.
Choi Ji-hoon reported the current situation and the personnel status.
So, with this, there are no issues with the current twenty-two personnel.
After reporting up to this point, todays work was almost done. Just as he was about to cut off the communication and take a rest,
[Wait.]
A voice came from the guild situation room. It was the voice of the Phoenix Guilds director.
[How many personnel are there now?]
Oh, did you not hear it earlier?
Choi Ji-hoon slightly distorted his expression and repeated it once again.
Currently, twenty-two personnel.
However, the situation room asked again with a serious tone.
[Really? Are you sure? Could there be a mistake?]
Ha.
Choi Ji-hoon let out a small sigh. Although slightly irritated, the other person was higher-ranking.
Smoothing his voice, he replied politely.
There are no special circumstances with the personnel. There were no issues.
[But. Hey, you!]
An exclamation of swearing came from the director.
[You didnt check the personnel properly! Hey, you guys, today its twenty-one people!]
What? Twenty-one people?
Momentarily flustered, Choi Ji-hoon replied with a bewildered voice.
[Quickly check the personnel again!]
Urgency emanated from the situation room.
Choi Ji-hoon went through the status board handed by his deputy once again, naming each one.
Kim Min-jae, Lee Nam-hyuk, and lastly, Seo Yeong-ho.
Certainly, the status board had 22 people written on it. There were no duplicate names.
[Choi Ji-hoon, what did you say at the end?]
Yes? At the end? Ah, Seo Yeong-ho, you mean?
[You idiot! Are you kidding right now?]
Choi Ji-hoon was gradually getting annoyed. He always approached his responsibilities seriously. However, hearing accusations of joking while being cursed abruptly, who wouldnt be angry?
No! Please speak properly! I dont joke about these things. Why would I?
[]
A moment of silence passed. Then, a voice echoed again from the situation room.
[Hey, Ji-hoon. Dont you remember? Seo Yeong-ho, that dog, participated in the recent raid. Im talking about the dungeon you guys are currently patrolling.]
Ah.
Right. He remembered. The recent raid, and leading that raid was A-rank Hunter Seo Yeong-ho. Why had he forgotten?
Oh, its just a coincidence with the name, right?
There could be a possibility of a namesake. It must be the case. However, the response from the situation room shattered that hope.
[We just checked. There is no one named Seo Yeong-ho in our Phoenix Guild.]
Are you kidding?
[Im not in the mood for joking right now!]
Rather, the director raised his voice and made a commotion.
[So, immediately check the personnel!]
Click.
Choi Ji-hoon disconnected the call.
Yes, he needed a moment to think. Perhaps, his deputy had made a mistake.
But what if, hypothetically speaking, it wasnt a mistake? Now that he thought about it, the siren had gone off before the personnel check. Could it be
Damn it.
Choi Ji-hoon shouted as he rushed outside the headquarters.
Everyone, gather!
Something had gone wrong.
