    Episode 30

    “Grumbling….”

    The canine wolf Gray lowered his body closely and watched his prey.

    [Gray Lv.4]

    canine wolf

    Although its level has risen slightly in the meantime its size is still the size of the palm of your hand.

    However as a descendant of the great canine clan he has now grown to the point where he can easily hunt one or two goblins.

    Thanks to this Gray has been so energetic these days that he walks around with his tail held upright.

    Of course three goblins were still too many so if three goblins attacked at the same time they would quickly curl their tails and take refuge in a small hole they had dug in advance.

    Then the goblins who were chasing the cave are too small so they eventually give up the chase and go back.

    One day Gray who was adjusting to life in the shadow dungeon by toying with the big and stupid goblins was faced with a big crisis.

    An uninvited guest suddenly came to the shadow dungeon!

    “Kuuuung….”

    Gray was secretly chasing after the uninvited guest with extremely cautious eyes.

    The guy looked quite strong but he seemed to have no strength at all as he had been starving for a long time.

    You can do it.

    That part aroused Gray’s desire to win.

    You can do it.

    Hunting prey stronger than oneself was a very honorable thing.

    Gulp.

    Gray held his breath and waited with a tense expression for the moment when his prey would show an opening.

    And finally!

    Hilarious.

    The guy moved!

    “Can you see everything?”

    “Quong?”

    Esil’s hand grabbed the back of Gray who was crouching in the corner and glaring at him.

    “Cow! Kuiing!”

    oh! Caught!

    Gray was startled and flapped his short legs.

    However when it realized that no matter how much it struggled it could not escape Esil’s grasp it cried out fiercely with defiant eyes.

    “Growl!”

    “Oh really. “If it wasn’t Suho’s pet I would eat it right away.”

    Essil said it was a shame and lost his appetite while looking at Gray.

    ‘I never would have thought that a descendant of the Fang Lord would remain in a place like this.’

    Although it was only about the size of a mouthful the blood and flesh of the canine clan itself was a very precious elixir.

    “Growl!”

    Fly!

    “What? “Are you sure you want to taste it?”

    Gray twisted his snout this way and that and eagerly licked Esil’s hand holding the back of his head.

    However his eyes continued to glare at Esil with a bold expression.

    “Really. “What a funny dog.”

    Esil ended up laughing.

    “Well I guess you instinctively know it too. “If you eat me you will gain strength.”

    ‘Because we are actually in the same position.’

    He was the only demon noble currently alive in the demon world.

    In other words he was the only enemy who might one day become a demon lord.

    Just as the demons targeted Esil’s blood this time the pure blood flowing within Esil’s body contained precious power in itself.

    ‘…And that goes for you too.’

    This cheeky one-day puppy was the only member of the canine clan who might one day become a canine monarch.

    Esil suddenly felt a strange feeling.

    ‘I can’t believe two purebloods from a clan that was destroyed in the war are gathered here. ‘For what purpose did Suho take us?’

    Flying? Fly fly fly!

    “Oh my goodness! “I told you to stop spitting!”

    It was then.

    [You have entered the Shadow Dungeon.]

    Shwaaagh!

    Su-ho and Ber enter the shadow dungeon just at that moment.

    But there was a fresh whole pig in their hands.

    That’s two marinas!

    “oh!”

    “Quong?”

    At that moment Esil and Gray’s heads turned at the same time.

    Gurgling!

    A loud noise echoed from Esil and Ber’s ship.

    At that sound Suho chuckled and held the whole pig forward.

    “Now I heard the devil likes meat right?”

    “huh! “It’s just grass!”

    Esil quickly threw back the gray he was holding and quickly took the whole pig from Suho.

    Then Gray who had been thrown backwards came back quickly and greedily bared his teeth in front of Esil.

    And then jump!

    “Quuuuuuuuuuu! “Kyoong!”

    Gray suddenly turns over on his stomach and starts twisting his body around.

    But Eshil was adamant.

    “no. Go back. “This is my food.”

    “Hehehehehe!”

    “There’s no use in wagging your tail now!”

    “Growl!”

    It was a wolf cub and a demon noble who were fighting over a whole pig.

    Suho who was watching the scene from behind could not hide his dejected expression.

    ‘It seems like more and more carnivores are gathering around me these days.’

    Yom yum yum yum!

    [Kehehe! It’s delicious!]

    “….”

    I brought two whole pigs.

    In the back even Ber was clinging to the remaining one and eating it eagerly.

    However even the intrepid Gray did not dare to cross Ver’s prey.

    “Then I will eat well!”

    Esil stuck his hand deep inside the pig’s body.

    Then.

    Sooooooo!

    The large whole pig began to shrink around Esil’s hand.

    ‘oh.’

    Berg suddenly appeared next to Suho who was looking at the scene in amazement and explained.

    [It sucks up the magical energy that resides in the pig’s body. Each demon has a different eating style but demon nobles usually prefer a clean diet.]

    “Oh I’m surprised. “What are you talking about?”

    [Small people are like bugs.]

    Ver nodded as if it was obvious.

    Then he turned back to his pig and opened its mouth wide.

    Omul omul yom yom yom yom.

    Contrary to Esil Ber seemed to prefer a sloppy way of eating.

    Suho chuckled and slowly looked away.

    “Then I’ve been….”

    Sniff.

    Cough clap.

    Before I knew it wild goblins that had caught the scent of meat were gathering around them one by one.

    Suho stretched out his hand.

    “What?!”

    One of the leading birds suddenly floated in the air and struggled with its legs.

    The power of the ruler.

    A faint smile crossed Suho’s lips.

    “Are you doing daily quests?”

    [Daily Quest: Shadow Dungeon Cleaning]

    100 Goblins: Incomplete (0/100)

    10 Goblin Captains: Incomplete (0/10)

    1 Goblin Centurion: Incomplete (0/1)

    * * *

    [Completion reward has arrived.]

    [Do you want to check your reward?] (Y/N)

    I once again felt that my abilities had increased.

    ‘Now a hundred goblins can’t even exercise in the morning.’

    Crack.

    Suho lightly brushed his hands among the goblin corpses.

    On either side of him two swords Rakan’s Fang and Volkan’s Horn were stuck in the ground.

    ‘It looks like there won’t be any hidden quests like last time.’

    I caught a few more this time but it seemed like the hidden reward was a one-off.

    However the general daily quest rewards were also good enough.

    [The rewards below are available.]

    Reward 1. Status recovery

    Reward 2. Ability points +3

    Reward 3. 1 random box

    First of all it was decided to leave the first reward ‘status recovery’ in an unaccepted state.

    ‘I should save this and use it later when there is a real emergency.’

    HP could be restored with potions but the recovery amount was small and the recovery speed was slow.

    On the other hand ‘status recovery’ rewards are recovered immediately.

    It was good to use in a truly critical moment.

    ‘And all the stats are invested in strength.’

    No matter what in the end strength was the best thing to become strong. The higher the strength stat the higher the strength and speed.

    ‘And a random box.’

    This time it wasn’t a hidden reward so an ordinary random box appeared in Suho’s hand.

    When I opened the box a small ring tumbled out.

    [‘Item: Gray Ring’ has been acquired.]

    “ring?”

    When Suho took out a dull-colored ring the item description came to mind.

    [Item: Gray Ring]

    Difficulty of acquisition: D

    Type: Accessories

    Senses +5

    “It increases your senses stats by 5 points?”

    Suho’s eyes widened.

    It was a pretty good item compared to what it looked like.

    The sense stat is a stat that increases the five senses and increases the ability to detect crisis.

    In other words the sense of detecting an unexpected surprise attack increases.

    Suho quickly put the ring on his finger.

    The size was loose but there was no problem.

    [‘Item: Gray Ring’ is worn.]

    The gray ring disappeared from my finger and the stats were immediately applied.

    [Sense: 29(+5)]

    ‘Ordinary random boxes are also really good. It feels like handing out prizes.’

    While Suho completed his daily quest.

    [Oops.]

    The meal was already over.

    However Esil who had been watching Suho hunting goblins from behind was making a puzzled expression.

    It wasn’t polite to help others hunt so I just watched but the situation itself with goblins wandering around here was something strange.

    “It’s no big deal.”

    “what?”

    “How did dimensional refugees flow here?”

    “Dimension refugee?”

    “Those guys. After the War of Lords ended the surviving remnants were caught up in a gap in the dimension and mixed in here and there. “Those people are called dimensional refugees.”

    In a way it was a natural result.

    Now that all the monarchs who were the focal point have disappeared the demonic beasts under them have been scattered.

    “But I guess this isn’t a coincidence.”

    [What do you mean it’s not a coincidence?]

    Ber also showed interest in what Esil said.

    “Well… Actually breaking through a dimensional wall is a very difficult and cumbersome task.”

    [I know that well. If it were easy I would have returned to the monarch right away.]

    Ver nodded.

    In the old days you had to be the monarch of the world to be able to break through the gate to another dimension.

    Even that was not an easy task.

    “With all that said can the remnants of the war be able to cross the dimensional wall so easily?”

    [Hoo?]

    Lee Chae appeared in Ber’s eyes.

    Suho also realized what Esil was trying to say and nodded.

    “Maybe it’s the blue fog?”

    “that’s right. One day a blue mist from outer space began to mess up the walls of our dimension. “How severe would the distortion have become for even such weak goblins to flow into the world ruled by the Shadow Lord?”

    Esil shrugged his shoulders saying it was nonsense.

    -I agree with that.

    Rakan’s fang which was in Suho’s hand suddenly entered the conversation.

    -There is no way he would have entered the world ruled by the victors of the war on his own without the defeated soldiers going crazy. It looks like the dimensional gap has really become twisted.

    ‘ah.’

    During the conversation Suho suddenly realized an important fact.

    “Let me ask you just one question.”

    [yep.]

    “You said that the power of your father’s legions and the apostles of the outer universe are equal to each other right?”

    [That’s right. They were so tense that the monarch couldn’t even think of coming to Earth in person so he sent me.]

    “If you think about it the other way around doesn’t that mean that outer space wouldn’t even dare to come over to Earth right now?”

    [Huh?]

    For a moment Ber’s eyes widened.

    […oh?]

    There my eyes widened once again.

    “Right?”

    [What the Solord said is correct! Of course it will!]

    Ver nods frantically.

    Suho also nodded and muttered.

    “So you’re using dimensional refugees. Since they were unable to come directly they must have gathered dimensional refugees and connected them to Earth instead.”

    So-called nose-blowing without hands.

    And this was not a bad situation at all from the perspective of the dimension refugees.

    From their perspective the Earth was truly an easy place.

    You can kill steal and conquer as much as you like.

    ‘And one more thing.’

    Suho finally realized the meaning of the daily quest given to him.

    [Daily Quest: Shadow Dungeon Cleaning]

    “We need to clean up the goblins as quickly as possible find the gap in the dimension they came through and block it.”

    [you’re right. If we continue to leave the dimensional refugees alone the out-space guys will eventually discover our existence. No not exactly….]

    “My presence will be discovered.”

    [….]

    Suho was fully aware of his situation.

    “Because I am my father’s only weakness.”

    One more reason to become stronger.
