Chapter 614
'Dammit!'
A Dungeon Maker wasn’t a tamer . He couldn’t control monsters . Then how could a Dungeon Maker place monsters in the dungeon? The first method was a contract .
Dungeon Maker Dark didn’t fulfill the monsters’ demands . He hired them as guards of the dungeon . It was a framework for mutual cooperation . Of course, this was only allowed if the monster’s intelligence reached a certain level . He couldn’t form a contract with monsters of low intelligence .
Dark had to block the enemy’s intrusion by strategically placing monsters of various characteristics, so he found a solution . The monsters with low intelligence were faithful to their instincts . For example, if he wanted to place a griffin in a specific area of the dungeon, he would obtain the griffin’s favorite orc meat and place it in the dungeon . The griffons who smelled the orc meat after being trapped in the dungeon would naturally turn into monsters belonging to the dungeon .
Of course, there were fatal disadvantages for monsters deployed in this way . They were hostile to intruders and Dark . It was the reason why Dark was stuck at Zone 5 and couldn’t move to Zone 3 yet . He had triggered ‘Display Mode’ the moment an intruder occurred .
Once all the monsters in his dungeon woke up, there was a big restriction to Dark’s movements . Moving secretly to avoid the monsters in each area inevitably slowed down his movements . As a result, Dark’s worst fear occured .
[Zone 3 of the Beware Dogs dungeon is completely destroyed!]
“N-No!”
The first three zones were completely destroyed . It was a deadly wound . It would take at least a month for the dungeon to recover . He also needed huge funding .
"D-Damn **** . . . !”
He was so angry that tears poured out . Dark’s eyes were bloodshot .
Shake shake!
Dark shivered with fury as a new notification window appeared in front of him .
[An intruder has appeared in Zone 4 of the ‘Beware Dogs’ dungeon . ]
At that moment .
" . . . Kuk, taste **** . ”
Dark’s anger was quickly relieved . Dark even smiled .
"You were able to break through three zones without any obstacles, but you’ll lose your senses in the next section . I don’t know who the intruder is, but he will be trampled on by the evil eyes and regret his sins . "
The evil eyes . The inherent strength of the demonkin was unreasonable . The evil eyes were supreme predators born with absolute strength .
‘There are dozens of types of evil eyes . ’
It was impossible to fight against a large number of evil eyes because they showed different traits . Among them, those with the power to look into the future for a few seconds were the best . How could he place such powerful evil eyes in the Beware Dogs dungeon?
It was because Dark had unexpected good luck . Dark built the Beware Dogs dungeon to protect ‘it,’ which the evil eyes desired to hatch . Their goal was the same . Therefore, Dark and the evil eyes were the best partners to trust each other .

“This is amazing speed!”
The God Hands and Randy’s pickaxes moved quickly, maximizing their efficiency . Minor was surprised as Randy and the God Hands demolished the walls in an instant, extracting the minerals .
"But it isn’t as good as me . Huhut . ”
‘He isn’t pretending . This guy, he’s really great . ’
Minor’s speed was overwhelming enough that Grid could admit it . The four God Hands combined were slower than Minor . Minor’s talent for mining was truly the best . Grid acknowledged it, but he still didn’t intend to make Minor a miner .
‘No matter how good, you’re still a minerals detector . ’
There were many excellent miners in the world, but only Minor could detect minerals . Minor was a unique minerals detector .
“Your Majesty, there’s a door to the next section . Should we go?”
"Of course . ”
Grid’s goal was to collect all the minerals growing here . It was natural to go through all the areas .
‘It’s a pity that there was only the insane dragon iron in the first three sections . Well, there’s no need to be nervous because there’s nothing dangerous . ’
The insane dragon Nevartan stayed here, so he knew it wasn’t an ordinary mine . Grid entered Zone 4 without any major crisis awareness . Then he realized that this wasn’t an ordinary mine .
[You have entered Zone 4 of the Beware Dogs dungeon . ]
[The traps have been activated . ]
Kurururung!
“ . . . !!”
The moment they stepped into Zone 4, Grid and Minor’s eyes widened . A huge rock was rolling from the end of a straight, narrow passage .
‘Can I avoid it?’
No . The passage was too narrow . The way they came was blocked .
“D-Death . . . ”
Minor muttered with despair . He closed his eyes tightly and grabbed his head . He imagined himself being crushed by that massive rock . Then Grid’s voice was heard .
"Open your eyes and raise your head . Show a confident charm . "
“Your Majesty . . . ?”
Why was he so calm despite stepping into an unexpected trap and being on the verge of death? Minor reflexively looked up .
“Pagma’s Swordsmanship . ”
Grid pulled out a blue greatsword from beneath Lantier’s Cloak and started a sword dance . Then he struck the sword against the huge rock .
“Kill . ”
Jjeejeeeong!
“Pant . . . ”
The power of weight was overwhelming . But Satisfy was a game . The rolling rock that weighed dozens of tons? It was just mere tofu in front of the legendary blacksmith wielding a greatsword made of blue orichalcum .
“Y-Your Majesty, jackpot!”
The centre was pierced by Grid’s sword and the rock split in two . Minor was hit by a piece of falling rock and bleeding, but he still raised a thumb . On the other hand, Grid was completely covered with Lantier’s Cloak and blocked the rock fragments .
"When did you learn that word?”
"Your Majesty often uses it . . . ”
Minor wanted to be like Grid . Due to this aspiration, Minor watched Grid and was influenced by the small habits . Grid laughed at him .
‘This isn’t a usual mine . ’
Yes, he shouldn’t forget that this was a dragon lair . It wasn’t strange that there were traps . Maybe strong monsters were sleeping at the end . Grid didn’t shrink back . Rather, he enjoyed it .
‘This is interesting . ’
He could acquire minerals, level, and loot! Also .
‘The reason there are traps is because they have something to protect . ’
It was likely to be treasure . A treasure that a dragon prized! Grid hastened his pace . Numerous traps appeared along the way, but it was impossible to threaten him . Mere blades and flames couldn’t do any harm to Grid . On the other hand, Minor almost died many times, only to be helped by Noe and Randy . The potions from Reidan’s alchemy facility were also a big help .
"This should be good . ”
After the narrow passage, Grid arrived at a big space and took out a pickaxe again . Zone 4 was several times larger than the first three . Minor was overwhelmed by the size of the complex labyrinth, but Grid just recognized it as a bigger mine .
Teong! Teong!
Grid, Minor, the God Hands, Noe, and Randy started to break down the wall with their pickaxes .
"It’s an unpleasant noise . ”
A voice was heard from behind the party .
‘A person?’
He expected a monster, but it was a person? Grid turned his head and was even more surprised .
“ . . . Child?”
Yes, the owner of the voice was a little boy . His round face was charming and his large eyes was strangely harmonious . The eyepatch over one eye was reminiscent of Lauel .
"Why is a kid like you here? Ah . ”
Grid asked before realizing how foolish his question was . The name ‘evil eye’ in red was floating above the boy’s head .
‘Monsters . ’
Humanoid monsters . There was a high probability that it was a high level monster . He shouldn’t be fooled by the young and cute appearance . The nervous Grid hid Minor behind his back .
“Kukukuk . . . A mere human has invaded the territory of the evil eyes . Looking at the past and present, it’s rare that such a crime like today would happen . ”
“ . . . ”
The evil eye boy spoke a chunni phrase and lifted the eye patch . A blue iris with three black pupils could be seen . The eye facing Grid looked mysterious rather than grotesque .
“I, an ordinary resident of the evil eye clan, command this uncivilized human . Look into my ‘ice’ and be bound for all eternity . ”
Jjejeok .
Jjeejeeeong!
The ground where Grid was standing froze in an instant . The intense cold tried to freeze Grid’s legs, waist and heart . But .
[You have made eye contact with an evil eye . ]
[You have fallen into the ‘frozen’ state!]
[You have resisted . ]
[Due to the effect of the ‘First King’ title, ‘Great King’s Majesty’ is activated . ]
[You have counterattacked against the abnormal status . ]
Jjejeok!
Jjeejeeeong!
“W-What . . . ?” A mere human can threaten me . . . !”
The evil eye boy paled . The freezing curse that he invoked came back to him, causing him to feel fear . As the boy’s feet was frozen, Grid’s pickaxe hit him in the forehead . Based on the name, the evil eye seemed like a magic mob so Grid was confident he could do damage with his pickaxe .
That’s right . Grid didn’t want to waste mining time by switching between weapons .
“I’m nervous . ”
Grid started mining again after hitting the evil eye boy .
“ . . . ”
Minor stared with a wide open mouth, like a carp . The evil eyes . According to the rumors from when he travelled all over the continent, they were incredibly powerful demonkin . Usually a human couldn’t resist when meeting an evil eye and would lose their lives .
Yet Grid casually took care of such a powerful enemy with a pickaxe? He also started mining again straight away!
“Hrmm . . . It’s a small fry mob, so it doesn’t give items . ”
Grid muttered with disappointment and Minor shouted to him .
“The evil eyes aren’t a small fry mob!”
The evil eyes had a slim chance of dropping their skin when they died . Many people were greedy for this . However, the evil eyes were very powerful . Realistically, it was impossible to hunt the evil eyes . The evil eyes were huge . It happened before Minor could explain .
"Hoh, this is astonishing . A mere human dares to kill an evil eye? A human has overcome their natural limitations?”
"Huhuhut, humans have always produced heroes . It is a species that can’t be denied . But in the end, you’re trivial in front of our evil eyes . ”
New evil eyes appeared . There were three cute little boys with eyepatches . They were excited, rather than angry about their own kin being killed . They recognized Grid as prey and raised their eyepatches .
"Ignite . ”
"Blindness . "
"Silence . "
[You have resisted . ]
[You have resisted . ]
[You have resisted . ]
[Due to the effect of the ‘First King’ title, ‘Great King’s Majesty’ is activated . ]
[You have counterattacked against the abnormal status . ]
“K-Kuack . . . ? Is my body burning hot evidence that my heart is warm?”
"All of a sudden, the world is dark . My brilliant presence has darkened everything except me . ”
“Oof oof . ”
"Phew, really noisy . ”
Was this mob hunting or minerals gathering? Grid’s pickaxe became busier and Minor stopped thinking .
