𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝟔𝟎: 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞?

After finishing off my classmates, I recall the immortal zombie and hot-blooded zombie, which I had been keeping on standby, along with the zombie-sensei. I also collected the Automata while I was at it.

I was covered in splatters of blood, after all.

Walking around the royal capital in this state, I can’t help but feel that I would be arrested.

Now that I have the zombie-sensei, returning to the royal capital should be easy, so I should wash myself in the dungeon.

ㅤ

So, I washed the Automata with Gargoyle’s water magic and prepared new clothes while thinking.

ㅤ

Was this act of mine, was it revenge?

You could say so, but you could also say otherwise.

Surely, I had a grudge against my classmates.

But the main reason I killed them was because I thought they would become a threat to me if they grew.

ㅤ

That’s why I killed the teacher, too.

I killed her first.

I removed the mask of the Automata, showed my bare face to unsettle her, stole her thoughts of escape using Spatial Magic, and killed her for sure.

In fact, I could say that killing the teacher was the main objective, and the remaining three were just a bonus.

I even thought that it wouldn’t matter if only the teacher was killed, even if the remaining three escaped, or if there were witnesses and it became a commotion.

ㅤ

After all, Spatial Magic is, by any measure, the natural enemy of the dungeon.

If the teacher were to ever reach the boss room even once, after that, I might have strong enemies suddenly sent to the boss room, ignoring all the traps of the dungeon.

And I would be tormented by the fear of not knowing when they might attack.

It’s terrifying just to think about it.

ㅤ

It was extremely lucky that I was able to kill the teacher, who had such a nightmarish skill, in such a sudden encounter, and even turn her into a zombie ally.

Considering the bullying, the killing of my parents, the constant strong enemies coming to the dungeon, and finally being scouted by the Demon Lord.

I thought my luck was depressingly low, but it seems it wasn’t as bad as I thought.

ㅤ

That being said, let’s confirm the results of this battle.

This time I only killed four people, but I can say that I obtained results that necessitate confirmation.

ㅤ

First of all, the acquisition of the zombie-sensei is noteworthy.

Not only has moving become easier, but like I used on Ishijun, I can now use a trap that forces teleportation from outside to inside the dungeon.

I don’t like inviting intruders myself, but the effect is tremendously high, so I won’t hesitate to use it when the time is right.

ㅤ

Next, the corpses of the three classmates.

In other words, the bodies of the three heroes.

Even though they are around Lv10 grunts, zombies with unique skills will become a great force.

ㅤ

The stealth zombie made from Hagakure’s corpse has a unique skill called [Spiriting Away].

Due to this effect, I could say that I am now capable of infiltrating any place.

However, the effective time seems to be short, so caution is necessary.

It seems the uses will be limited, but it is still handy.

ㅤ

Next, the creation zombie created from Sakuma’s corpse.

He had a unique skill called [Creation], which has a cheat-like vibe to it.

This skill seems to allow the creation of any material that has been touched once, as much as one wants using MP.

It seems to be impossible for living beings, but for anything else, absolutely anything.

Even mass production of Mithril and Orichalcum is possible.

ㅤ

However, it seems to use a significant amount of MP to create high-grade items, so mass production of Orichalcum is likely out of reach.

Even so, it seems possible to create about one golem’s worth of Mithril per day, so I’ve quickly incorporated the creation zombie into the golem production line.

I’m looking forward to the completion of mass-produced Mithril Golems.

ㅤ

About Ishijun’s corpse lastly. . .Given that its stats are too low apart from defense, it was decided to discard it as it can only be used as a shield at best.

If its level was higher, it could have been useful in battle.

But considering it made it easy to defeat him, well, it’s all right.

By the way, Ishijun’s corpse was recycled at a high price of 20,000 DP.

Heroes are really something, aren’t they?

ㅤ

There are no other spoils of war apart from the corpse.

Since it was in incognito look, it didn’t have any notable equipment either.

ㅤ

Instead, I gained a lot of experience.

Believe it or not, my level jumped from 52 to 60 all at once!

The experience points of heroes are amazing.

At this rate, I feel like killing all the heroes myself.

I wonder if I could compete with the Demon Lord then?

Well, the other heroes probably have the twelve apostles as bodyguards, so it looks difficult and I don’t want to be greedy.

ㅤ

That’s when I finished confirming my victory.

ㅤ

“I kept you waiting, Mamori!”

ㅤ

The Demon Lord was teleported into the communication room accompanied by a monster that looked like his subordinate.

Leif, who was in the room, bowed his head vigorously.

The Mamori-chan doll also bowed.

ㅤ

“Oh? Are you the new executive?”

“Yes. I am Mamori.”

“You’re pretty small.”

“This is a temporary form.”

“I see.”

ㅤ

The monster that looked like the Demon Lord’s subordinate spoke up, so I had the Mamori-chan doll respond.

That monster was a black lizardman.

It was like a bipedal lizard, or a human-shaped dragon walking on two feet.

And it was all muscular.

It’s more impressive than the hot-blooded zombie.

ㅤ

But, I think this is probably a humanized dragon.

I know that higher-ranking monsters like dragons can humanize.

I learned this when I was looking for monsters that could conduct espionage activities, which was the reason I created Automata.

And also, that humanization is not exactly human-like in any way.

ㅤ

Anyway, appraisal.

🔸🔸🔸

ㅤ

What a monster.

With an average status of about 20,000.

It’s as strong as the Living Armor-senpai with its bare power.

If it uses true equipment, wouldn’t the odds of winning be about 50% even if I fully utilized the dungeon?

Such a monster just comes out, the Demon Lord’s army is dangerous.

ㅤ

“I am the Demon Lord’s executive, the Black Dragon, Draglight.

To the new executive. I welcome you. However, there is one thing I must tell you.”

ㅤ

Saying that, the dragon pointed at the Mamori-chan doll with his sharp-clawed finger.

I gulp in breath.

Of course, the Mamori-chan doll is unresponsive.

ㅤ

“Hmph!”

ㅤ

And then, the dragon. . .suddenly struck a muscle pose.

The muscles swelled up.

Moreover, the dragon remains in that posture, directing a passionate gaze at the Mamori-chan doll.

. . .What does this mean?

When I looked at the Demon Lord as if asking for help, she was shrugging her shoulders as if to say, “There, there.”

Say something.

ㅤ

“The beauty of my physique, which has not been lost even after humanization. . .You can fall in love with it, you know?”

ㅤ

. . .

“Leif, please guide these people to the royal capital.”

“Y, Yes!”

ㅤ

For some reason, I, who found everything ridiculous, decided to ignore it and left everything to Leif.

Although Leif was confused, he said, “This way, please,” picked up the Mamori-chan doll, and followed my guide to the exit of the dungeon.

I was happy that he was doing his job properly.

Indeed, Leif was a good purchase.

ㅤ

“Hehehe. You got turned down again, Draglight.”

“Hmph. She’s just shy of my muscular beauty. She’s a cute junior.”

“You’re always positive.”

ㅤ

Well, now that the Demon Lord has arrived, the preliminary skirmishes are over.

It seems like the real war is about to begin.

For now, I tightened my focus and sent the Automata, who had been dried with the gargoyle’s fire and wind magic, back to the royal capital with the zombie-sensei’s teleportation.
