𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝟏𝟎: 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬

The day I remodeled the dungeon, they came.

Just as I finished my katsudon (TL: pork cutlet or something) and was thinking about going to sleep to recover my MP, my sense as a dungeon master informed me of the appearance of new intruders.

If I’m awake like this, I can sense the presence of intruders without relying on an alarm.

I think I’m no longer human because humans shouldn’t have such sensing abilities.

My race has also changed to dungeon master.

ㅤ

Anyway, there are intruders.

This time there are five, or rather, five creatures.

Green-skinned, ugly-faced monsters about the size of human children.

My most hated monster in this world, goblins.

They’ve come back without learning their lesson.

ㅤ

The goblins are having a conversation with their cries.

In the meantime, I’ll appraise them for now.

I didn’t have time to appraise them the last time or the time before that.

ㅤ

Weak?!

Somehow, they’re weaker than I expected.

Even their physical stats are lower than mine.

Can they survive with such poor stats?

Ah, no, they were dead.

All the goblins I’ve seen so far have been killed by the Living Armor-senpai without exception.

Well, let’s deal with these ones the same way.

ㅤ

That’s what I was thinking, but then I realized.

How do I deal with them?

Our only combat power is the Living Armor-senpai, and he can’t be moved because he’s the guardian of the boss room.

I can’t create a new monster to intercept them because my DP is depleted right now.

In the first place, I don’t really want to release monsters on the first floor, as it would ruin the cave disguise strategy.

ㅤ

At least, since I can transport monsters between floors without intruders,

There is an option to have the Living Armor-senpai charge in and quickly annihilate the goblins, then use the transport function to return to the boss room.

But during that time, the boss room would be defenseless, and the Living Armor-senpai would be weakened if he left the boss room, so I don’t want to do this either.

In that case, I can’t do anything from my side.

Feeling frustrated, I monitor the movements of the goblins.

The goblins, with their night vision, walked around the cave without being bothered by the darkness of the dungeon.

However, after wandering around the cave for a while, they seemed to get lost, and after panicking, they started fighting amongst themselves, blaming each other, and one of them died.

As a result, I received 10 DP.

What are they doing. . .?

ㅤ

After that, the remaining four goblins returned to the exit, or rather, the entrance without finding the boss room and left.

I wonder what that was all about.

But for now, let’s decompose the dead goblin’s body.

With that, the threat was gone for now, and I went to sleep.

ㅤ

◆◆◆

ㅤ

The next day.

Thanks to a good night’s sleep, my MP is fully recovered.

Immediately, as usual, I pour all my MP into the dungeon core, leaving me with 8,611 DP.

This includes the natural recovery from the ley lines.

ㅤ

Then, I thought about what to do with this DP.

The first thing that comes to mind is adding more floors.

If I create a difficult-to-break-through second floor, my defense will greatly increase, and the time until the Living Armor-senpai’s turn will be extended.

That means I won’t have to worry about intruders entering the first floor like yesterday.

ㅤ

The next thing I thought of was creating monsters.

If there are monsters other than the Living Armor-senpai, I can handle situations like yesterday.

However, I still want to disguise the first floor as a mere cave, so if I let new monsters roam, it would be from the second floor onwards.

In that case, I might hold off this time.

ㅤ

The last thing I thought of was to devote all my funds to the Living Armor-senpai.

Now, I can change the Living Armor-senpai’s material as I thought before, and if I pour all this DP into it and raise its status, I can’t help but feel that a super home security guard will be born.

However. . .this status enhancement, like a game, the more you raise it, the harder it becomes to raise, and it seems that a lot of DP is needed to enhance it.

If I try to seriously strengthen it, the DP I have now is not enough at all.

It’s like the horror of the in-game purchase system, even if I pour all my funds into it and strengthen it now, it will only become half-heartedly strong.

It would become considerably stronger, but I also think it would be more prudent to add floors instead. . .

ㅤ

As a result of my worries, I decided to add floors this time.

Using 5,000 DP, I created a new floor behind the core room and used another 1,000 DP to make it the same maze as the first floor.

Since this is no different from the first floor, I used another 1,000 DP to set traps in various places.

The trap I set this time is a moving wall.

It moves at a considerable speed, so if it works well, it can sandwich intruders between walls and turn them into a sandwich, no, mincemeat.

Not only that, but the moving walls change the paths, making mapping useless, and depending on the timing, they can even divide the intruders, making it the perfect trap for a maze.

Very capable.

ㅤ

However, with just this, it would only inconvenience the intruders and lack killing power and defense, so I decided not to use this floor yet.

In other words, the second floor is currently behind the boss room and the core room.

There is a rule that you cannot modify the floor where intruders are, so I had no choice but to do this.

The unveiling will be after I add more traps and complete it.

Well, it’s better if there’s no one to unveil it to.

Now.

With this, I have about 1,600 DP left.

This is my savings.

There’s nothing I can do with it now, and besides, if I save DP, I can use a secret technique to repair the Living Armor-senpai during battle, so it’s better to have savings.

In a way, the amount of savings is also the remaining lives of the Living Armor-senpai.

It’s meaningless if it dies in one hit, though.

. . .Let’s pray that no such monster comes.

ㅤ

With that, this round of strengthening is over.

Until I save up more DP, I’ll have to defend with the same strength as before, but I guess I’ll manage somehow.

For now, if I can hold out for today, Grand Magic-senpai will earn more for me again.

ㅤ

While waiting for my MP to recover automatically and practicing moving traps, another intruder came.

. . .I feel like intruders are coming every day.

That’s strange.

My dungeon is supposed to be off-limits to intruders.

ㅤ

With an unsatisfied feeling, I checked the intruder’s appearance on the monitor.

The intruder was a goblin.

Again.

I thought so, but this time it was a bit different.

It was a goblin, but there was one strange one mixed in.

ㅤ

When I appraised it, this was the result.

Strong.

Weaker than the Living Armor-senpai, but stronger than the previous group of three intruders.

It’s a strength that could be considered a different species from goblins.

Its appearance is also different from ordinary goblins, being a giant about 2 meters tall and wide.

It feels like a sumo wrestler and a pro wrestler combined and divided by two.

ㅤ

And there are ten ordinary goblins that seem to be followers of such a hobgoblin.

That was the intruder this time.

I might need to be a little more cautious.

ㅤ

I was thinking that, but the goblins didn’t enter the boss room.

They advanced to about the halfway point of the cave and, unbelievably, settled down there.

What are they doing?!

Go home!

Get out of my sanctuary!

Besides, if you guys were here, I wouldn’t know why I didn’t release monsters on the first floor!

ㅤ

I’m thinking of using the remaining DP to summon monsters and exterminate them now.

When I was thinking that, my senses detected the presence of another new intruder.

Is it another goblin?

I looked at the monitor with a fed-up feeling, and there was a middle-aged man dressed like an adventurer.

Strong?!

What is this guy?

He’s ridiculously strong.

His equipment is also well-coordinated with good items, and he looks like a top-notch adventurer, making my spine shiver.

ㅤ

“This might be. . .dangerous.”

ㅤ

While feeling an incredibly bad premonition, I prayed that he would just kill the goblins and go home.
