Dungeon Hunter Chapter 201:
Chapter 201: Meeting the Messengers (3)
In front of Greenland’s dungeon .
A white knight was guarding the dungeon door .
However, Oswen and Chrisley could see that it wasn’t a simple opponent . The flow of magic power was strange and it smelled like a type of incense . It was clearly a high class creature .
“Who?”
A loud and beautiful female voice emerged from the helmet .
The knight guarding the dungeon door was a pure white woman covered in snow .
Oswen tried to step forward but Chrisley was faster .
“We are messengers from Grand Duke Randalph Brigsiel and have come with an invitation for Grand Duke Ariel Diablo . ”
“Randalph Brigsiel! I have heard that name before . ”
The white knight nodded .
But the atmosphere didn’t seem very positive . A hostile feeling was directed towards them .
Chrisley ignored it and said .
"If you know then open the door . We don’t want to fight . ”
"No . To cross this door, you have to prove your qualifications . Grand Duke Ariel won’t meet with just anyone . ”
“We are here at the command of Grand Duke Randalph Brigsiel . . . ”
"I will listen to weapons, man and woman . ”
The white knight took out a rapier .
A desire not to let them pass was coming from her .
Chrisley turned and looked at Oswen who nodded bitterly .
He couldn’t gauge the opponent but she didn’t seem that easy .
No, Oswen and Chrisley were both equivalent to high class creatures .
In particular, Oswen had a long and unimaginable experience . Now that his six arms were restored and his weapons were stronger, he could face the white knight .
He was confident about fighting the opponent .
Oswen pulled out his six swords and said .
"I will do as you requested . ”
The moment the knight’s rapier headed towards him .
It disappeared . In the blink of an eye, the rapier had reached Oswen .
Swaack!
But it was shallow . Oswen was somewhat surprised but his body wasn’t . His body had reacted first and avoided the rapier .
But even though he avoided it, Oswen had a headache .
It was due to the differences . He couldn’t say the knight was weak . . .
‘It won’t be easy . ’
Still, he would win . Oswen didn’t think otherwise . The number of those stronger than him in the Underground World could be counted on one hand . The white knight wasn’t one of those stronger than him .
Chu chu chuk!
Oswen overlapped his six swords . The rapier was blocked .
'I can't be a crazy bull . ’
He couldn’t rush recklessly . The knight was lacking power compared to her speed . There wasn’t a strong sense of balance . However, small attacks became stronger when overlapped .
The white knight used small gaps to push Oswen . Even a small gap could break a huge rock .
"I must look very funny to you . ”
Oswen was originally a blacksmith . And a blacksmith had surprisingly high ambitions . If he didn’t feel intense obsession for the sword then he wouldn’t have created masterpieces . The same was true even now .
At least . . . he wanted to be acknowledged by his opponent . The temperament of a strong winner rose .
He was attacking .
He had confidence that his actions wouldn’t be disparaged .
‘Hell . ’
After regaining his ego, Oswen made six swords . He used the iron of the gods received from Dungeon Master to set up six pillars that represented **** . The name was Hell and after its completion, a ‘skill’ popped into his head .
The six swords would fire out hellfire when they were overlapped . The hellfire swallowed up Oswen and became one with him . Soon it was like a fierce lion had emerged from **** .
The white knight paused in her attacks . She started to intensely concentrate on the rapier .
It was an attack that concentrated all her destructive power on one point .
Oswen recognized it immediately . It would be better to avoid it, but he knew that dragging this out too long wouldn’t be good .
So he would hang it on this one strike . Both of them were confident about their attacks .
Soon the two of them started to rush towards each other . As Oswen moved his feet, black fire spread in a manner reminiscent of **** . In contrast, the white knight’s magic power gathered on the rapier shot forward like a projectile .
And . . . just as they were about to hit each other .
Chaeeeng! Ching!
The sword and rapier flew away .
"Stop . ”
A snow covered island . A woman left footsteps in this place .
A demon with colourful goat horns on her forehead that contrasted with her pale eyes .
The appearance of Ariel Diablo .
Ariel stood before everyone with an expressionless face . Although she didn’t seem like she was going to harm Oswen and Chrisley, they had no idea what she was thinking .
Even her words were ambiguous . They could only follow her quietly .
The dungeon that they entered was calm .
There didn’t seem to be any creatures . She had forcibly occupied this place so it wasn’t surprising .
The friendly atmosphere made it seem even more hostile . In particular, Oswen was shocked that his attack had been blocked .
If it was just blocked then he wouldn’t have been so surprised . However, if this had been a battlefield then his head would have flown away .
“You were sent by Randalph Brigsiel?”
After stepping on a magic circle, Ariel opened her mouth for the first time .
“That’s right . We are here to pass on Grand Duke Randalph Brigsiel’s invitation . . . ”
"Those are long words . ”
She only wanted to check that one thing .
She activated the magic circle with a casual gesture .
A bright light shone and a small crack was opened . Once the light disappeared, everyone was in an entirely different space .
At the same time, Oswen and Chrisley were quite surprised .
White knights . . . there were at least 20 white knights lined up in two columns .
Their sizes were all different . Their identities couldn’t be identified due to the armour completely covering their bodies, but some seemed to be young children . It was obvious that the white knight guarding the entrance was an older model .
Their strength couldn’t be easily measured . Even if they weren’t high class, at the very minimum they were advanced class .
"You’ve come back, Ariel Diablo”
"Set the table . Guests have come so we have to treat them . ”
“Yes . ”
Soon afterwards, Oswen and Chrisley were seated at a huge table . A white knight guided the two of them in an orderly manner .
Oswen and Chrisley couldn’t open their mouths as food came out . They needed to grasp Ariel Diablo’s intentions . But they couldn’t read through her .
"You seem to be confused . ”
Ariel had a small smile on her face . This was the composure of the strong . Confidence and freedom were in every gesture .
She had an atmosphere around her that they would never be able to acquire . Since birth . . . it was possible since she had been born with the blood of a demon king .
Oswen was well aware of this . He knew of only one other person like this . The Hell Monarch .
"Randalph Brigsiel has something to tell me?”
“That . . . ”
“Here . ”
Oswen restrained her when Chrisley tried to come forward .
Chrisley was still weak at handling things like this . It was impossible for her to deal with a strong powerhouse . He had wanted to give her a chance until he saw Ariel . Ariel Diablo wasn’t someone who would overlook a lot . Maybe . . . Oswen’s instincts shouted that she was more dangerous than Upa .
Ariel accepted the invitation and started to read it .
“Hrmm . . . ”
Unlike Upa, she showed no signs of irritation . She just read the contents of the invitation with very interested eyes .
It didn’t take long . After 30 seconds, Ariel glanced at Oswen .
"This is very interesting . Are you giving invitations to the other grand dukes?”
"Yes . ”
If he mentioned that he met Upa first then Ariel might take it the wrong way . Ariel knocked lightly on the table at Oswen’s words .
"It is unprecedented . After the demon king disappeared without a successor, there has never been a gathering of grand dukes . Yet the one who occupied Okullos’ position as grand duke has convened all his enemies together! Huhuhu . . . ”
Ariel seemed very excited .
She was at war with Upa, but Chrisley and Oswen were surprised by the completely different reaction .
Her attitude was like she didn’t even care about Upa .
"The food will cool . Come on . It was made specially for you . ”
She certainly wasn’t hostile .
But they still felt uneasy .
Oswen and Chrisley picked up the knife and fork . It was the beginning of a very quiet and long meal .
Once out of the dungeon, Oswen sighed .
"She is a woman with no gaps . She was the daughter of a demon king? Indeed . . . ”
"Those knights . They seem to be a blend of things . ”
Then Chrisley opened her mouth . It seemed like she had been paying more attention to the knights around Ariel .
"Ahh, they aren’t ordinary . They definitely feel strange . . . I don’t know what the mixture is . ”
"Maybe those knights are Ariel Diablo’s strongest weapons . Upa has tamed the magician of the moon . ”
"Our Dungeon Master has to deal with such monsters so it won’t be easy . ”
Oswen clicked his tongue . The grand dukes were all playing games . It was highly likely that Pandemonium also had something .
"Let’s finish it quickly and return . There are too many things to tell Dungeon Master . ”
"Now there is only one place left . Let’s go . ”
The two people quickly got on the griffin and flew away .
I heard Oswen and Chrisley’s report and started pacing around the Dungeon Core . The contents of the meeting with Upa, Ariel and Pandemonium were unexpected .
'What made them change?’
Upa, Ariel and Pandemonium were each hiding something . Ariel hadn’t openly revealed it but it was still too soon .
If they had just increased the number of creatures like they originally did, it would have been a power struggle .
‘Okullos . ’
It seemed like they had changed plans due to Okullos .
Okullos had warned all the grand dukes after breaking the taboo . He died by my hands but the effect he caused wasn’t dead yet . Maybe it wouldn’t be strange for another grand duke to break a taboo .
Furthermore, Ariel had subdued Oswen at once . I had checked her status window at the auction but it seemed like she had been working hard . Even if he was caught off guard, Oswen was a high class creature . He should have noticed and been able to act .
Things were changing very quickly . I was as well .
“But, the winner will be me . ”
The word ‘winner’ was sweet . The confident words emerged from my mouth . They were changing but their speed didn’t reach mine .
Even though I was alone, I had the power to deal with them .
‘Hah, I didn’t think Ariel would raise such strange things . ’
Ariel’s knights!
Although the qualities of a demon couldn’t be removed, she was still the demon with the most integrity . Yet she had created something like the white knights .
I was told that a few things were mixed together to make them, but I couldn’t understand their identities . She wasn’t an expert in alchemy so I didn’t know how she made them .
‘This meeting will be quite interesting . ’
One thing was for certain, it would be a place of indirect fighting .
There would be no deterrents like at the Demon World Auction . There was no penalty . If they wanted to fight then they would fight .
A huge wave . Hail . Overturning the world .
No one could stop it . I honestly hadn’t expected it would become so large when I first thought about it .
It might be a disaster for humans but now no one could stop the changes .
It was the same for the demons . Even if a **** appeared, would mediation be possible?
‘I need to make the final preparations . ’
My hands itched at the thought of seeing them all in one place .
Only five years . But for me, it had already been decades .
Those who would laugh and those who would cry . . .
I smiled and moved from my spot .
