CHAPTER 196: 196. A LIVELY DUNGEON

"And what about the Xenan guy?" He asked, slapping the other cheek.

"He tried to fight me... You told me not to kill, so I’ve just crippled him." Fiona smiled sweetly.

Jake frowned hearing that. Xenan’s connections with various nobles and gang leaders was why he wanted him in the first place. It would be inconvenient if his arms and legs were broken.

However, Jake had many ways to heal a cripple. Even regenerating cut limbs was possible, so it wasn’t that big a deal.

At this moment, Fiona noticed her master’s expression and blinked. "Did I do something wrong, daddy?"

"Not really," He smiled and suddenly lifted her. "But you need to get some punishment."

Soon, the master bedroom was once again filled with moans and claps.

...

Next day. Dungeon of Sins, 65th floor.

"Why hasn’t the master replied yet?!" Lena flew around a large hall while letting out distressed whines.

Below her was a long, rectangular table around which most of the higher-ranking subordinates sat. Currently, Minerva, Calliya and Ariel, the three 4th Circle women, were in a heated argument against each other on how to handle this situation. On the other hand, Ash was silently listening to them.

Before leaving the dungeon, Jake had instructed these four to guard the dungeon along with the wyvern.

Currently, Droge was fast asleep on the upper floor. These days, with Jake not being around, this flying lizard had become more and more rebellious.

However, ever since Yvonne came to this dungeon, it suddenly turned obedient. Speaking of her, she was also present in this meeting but her eyes only held disdain.

As a true dragon, she was even superior to creatures of her own rank, not to mention those of the lower ranks. It wouldn’t be far-fetched to say that she could wipe the floor with all those present here. The only reason she even bothered to be here was because of her master’s orders.

Otherwise, she’d have long gone to acquire a fortune. Afterall, she’d been recently freed from the sealing which lasted for hundreds of years.

Her heart was burning with an intense desire to vent. However, these creatures kept bickering...

"I say we kill them all!"

"No way, these elves should be captured to be made into the master’s servants!"

"Calliya, we were told to guard the dungeon. Nothing about capturing the intruders. You just want to save them because you’re also an elf!" Minerva shouted.

"And what about you, huh? Surely you wouldn’t turn them into ugly undead like you..." Ariel followed.

"What did you say? I dare you to say that again!" The living dead suddenly stood up and started walking towards the fox girl, who began channeling her mana.

Ash, who had his eyes closed and hands folded, frowned and disappeared from his seat.

Gong!

The sound of a longsword hitting the floor reverberated inside the hall. The dark knight stood in Minerva’s path and let out an oppressive aura.

"What? You want to fight too?" she brandished her staff.

"Don’t forget, you’ve signed a contract with the Master. Harming his servants means going against him." Ash pulled out his sword from the ground and turned to Ariel.

"And you should worry more about your pregnancy right now."

"Hmph!"

"Hmph!"

The two women turned to face opposite sides.

On the other hand, Erin and Perry let out collective sighs. If only they were stronger, they could’ve helped resolve this situation.

Even Yunna felt the same. Despite being the longest with her master, she was still at the peak of the 2nd Circle.

Yunna felt this bottleneck could only be broken by further unlocking her demonic bloodline, which Jake had told her about.

However, despite having enchanted many creatures over the weeks since her master left, she still hadn’t reached the 3rd Stage of Desire Demon Bloodline.

Actually, if Jake was here, he’d have instantly noticed the problem. After giving birth to Venus, Yunna hadn’t had proper sex.

All she needed right now was a good round of breeding. Once that was fulfilled, she’d automatically reach the 3rd Circle and even gain new succubi skills.

"Everyone, shut up!" Lena’s squeaky voice loudly rang all over the 65th floor at this moment. As the dungeon fairy, she had the most authority despite being the youngest.

"The intruders are already past the 10th floor in just a day. I’ve sent multiple hordes of monsters but they don’t seem to care about killing, and only want to descend as fast as possible!"

The fairy floated above the table and projected her vision into a magical orb for all to see.

At this moment, the elves were pushing their way through a tribe of direwolves. However, the monsters didn’t pose any challenge to these intruders.

Afterall, the 11th floor could be cleared by just an E-Rank party consisting of capable 1st Circlers.

In a platoon of elves, where even the weakest was of the 2nd Circle, the wolves were easily thwarted.

Just one 3rd Circle mage was holding back all the monsters while others quickly spread out to find the entrance to the lower floor.

Seeing this bizarre situation, even a fool would realize that this was no ordinary adventuring party. All of these elves were trained soldiers with years of training and they came here with a clear purpose.

Realizing this, everyone sitting around the table held grave expressions on their faces.

Previously, Minerva had dismissed Lena’s concerns. She’d thought that this dungeon fairy was panicking just because she felt a few 4th Circlers in this team.

But seeing the meticulousness and the overall strength of these intruders, the necromancer now realized that they definitely posed a threat.

"Now you see why I wanted to contact the master!" Lena harrumphed.

"We have to stop them. They cannot be allowed to continue advancing at this rate." Ash turned to Calliya, who nodded grimly.

"I’ll wake up my Death Knights." Minerva left the room and immediately ascended to the 64th Floor.

"Um, what about you..." Lena hesitatingly turned to the dragon girl who was leisurely sitting beside Irene.

"They’re not worthy. Take that dumb mixed-blood with you. He will be enough." Yvonne yawned and walked out. By ’dumb mixed-blood’, she obviously meant the wyvern Droge.

Lena was a little disappointed hearing that but still understood. The other party didn’t even have a single person in the 5th Circle. It was beneath a dragon to even consider them as opponents.

"It’s decided then." Lena looked at everyone.

"I appoint Ash to lead the charge. All 2nd and 3rd Circlers in this room belong to Calliya’s squad. Minerva has her undead Legion, so she’ll be able to form her own independent squad.

I’ll have the other monsters from the lower floors to rally behind Droge. The resistance will meet with the intruders on the 12th floor."

After saying that, she immediately flew down to the 66th floor from where she’d be able to better command the monsters.

Soon, a commotion began spreading throughout the Dungeon of Sins.
