The Dungeon Monsters Keep Offering Sacrifices

The dungeon monsters keep offering sacrifices – 014

EP. 14: Desolation and Regret (2)

“Do you know the commonality between goblins and orcs?”

Celia said in a gentle voice.

The question was directed at the adventurer Denver.

However, Denver couldn’t respond.

“It’s wa…ter.”

It had been two days since they were trapped in the dungeon.

His vision had blurred, and his body was craving water intensely.

Denver extended his tongue toward the air, hoping for even the tiniest hint of moisture, but his thirst only grew stronger.

However, celia continued her explanation, not minding Denver’s state.

“The commonality is that both races have a very low chance of females being born. Typically, around nine males are born for every one female.”

Of course, there was a possibility that even that one female might not be born.

Celia chuckled softly.

“Because the number of females is so limited, they couldn’t increase their population through conventional means. So, they had to choose an entirely different method. Do you know what it is?”

Even with Celia’s continuous questions, Denver didn’t provide an answer.

He was already half out of his mind, completely exhausted.

He couldn’t think of anything.

He could only see one person before him.

Jane was already lying on the ground with her clothes torn apart.

Unidentified liquids covered her. Her body and mind had been defiled by the goblins.

“The answer is that they reproduce through different species. However!”

Celia shook her head and opened her mouth.

“Orcs aside, it’s really difficult for goblins to find other species for reproduction. Goblins are responsible for the lower levels of the food chain, so it’s not easy for them to seek out other races.”

So, goblins had been resorting to human reproduction.

“Of course! Among humans, they exclude the strong ones like knights or mages. Hoho.”

Even goblins had limits, and they couldn’t do anything about powerful humans.

Denver’s expression twisted suddenly.

Up until now, her actions and words made it easy to understand what she meant.

“I have a question that arose during this. I wonder what kind of power goblin offspring born between a human with magical abilities and goblins would possess.”

They were all unusual goblins.

In the future, they would raise the goblin offspring in this dungeon.

These creatures would be born in this dungeon, and they would work as laborers for the dungeon’s growth.

“Ah, just thinking about it makes me so happy.”

Celia covered her face with both hands and showed a euphoric expression.

However, for Denver, there was nothing more dreadful than that.

Using people for the reproduction of monsters… it was unthinkable and unacceptable.

Denver, with a trembling voice, finally managed to speak,

“Do you think you’ll get away with this?”

He shouted with all the strength he had left, using all his might.

“If we can’t get out of here, do you know what will happen? If there’s no contact within a week, other adventurers will come!”

His words were a fact.

If adventurers who had accepted the dungeon quest failed to make contact for a week, the guild would start an investigation.

It was the guild’s policy to meticulously manage the dungeon to prevent monster waves.

“Then you and that smug bastard are done for! It would be better if you released us right now!”

“How dare you… A creature who didn’t even deserve to be called an insect dared to mention the Master. It was unpleasant.”

Celia grabbed Denver’s mouth with her hand.

Pulling down his face wouldn’t be enough.

She did this to shut him up, forcefully.

Thunk.

When Celia flicked her finger, the goblins that had been resting began moving again.

Their only goal was pleasure, and Denver was forcibly made to watch that horrifying sight.

“You can’t urn your head… away. I hope you understand that the price of invading the Master’s dungeon is to accept the consequences?”

“Ughhh!”

He had witnessed a horrifying scene for two days already.

Denver’s body and mind had already reached their limits.

“Just… kill me… please…”

He could no longer bear to see the girl he once liked in agony.

His mind grew cold.

The guild wouldn’t come for another five days.

Until then, there was no guarantee he would still be alive.

In fact, it was safe to say there was no chance of survival as long as he continued to suffer.

So, he had asked Celia to just let him die, to stop humiliating them any further.

“Hmm… Do you really want to die?”

Celia’s eyes met Denver’s. He nodded desperately.

“Well, at this point, the Master should be satisfied as well.”

Her words brought a glimmer of hope.

He might finally be able to close his eyes in peace without enduring more suffering.

“Now, look into my eyes.”

Celia’s gaze changed. She had used her skill on Denver.

It was a succubus’s charm.

Succubus charm was deadly.

The higher the succubus’s rank, the more powerful the skill’s effect.

Men charmed by it couldn’t feel attraction towards any woman other than the caster and remained in a state of arousal, even to the point where they might shake their hips to exhaustion.

That was the fate of those charmed by the succubus.

“Celi…ia, my lady…”

And now, Denver had become a faithful servant who only gazed at Celia.

In front of her, he behaved like a beast in heat.

Celia frowned, seeing Denver succumb to his desires like an animal.

“My body can only be desired by Master.”

Celia pointed at Jane.

“What about that girl?”

However, Denver was no longer capable of feeling attraction towards any woman other than Celia.

Despairing about being unable to hold Celia, he could not control his surging lust.

Succumbing to his lust, Denver approached Jane.

“No… Please…”

Seeing Denver’s state, Jane weakly spoke out.

But she couldn’t stop him.

With great effort, she had been holding onto the last thread of her sanity. It was snapped.

“Ah… Ahahaha.”

Jane started to laugh like she had lost her mind.

This place had turned into a world of animals, where everyone pursued their own pleasures without restraint.

“Tsk.”

Watching this scene, celia clicked her tongue.

She found it pathetic.

At the same time, her anger surged.

“Those wretched parasites dared to invade the Master’s dungeon.”

Celia’s expression twisted, and she turned away.

They were no longer worth looking at.

She gestured to the Death Knight.

“Kill the men. The women still have much to do.”

Jane had a lot to do.

She would continue to give birth to the dungeon’s workers until her body was destroyed.

How beautiful and noble it was.

This was motherly love that happened in the dungeon.

The Death Knight drew its sword from its hip.

The drawn blade pierced Denver’s heart.

“Urghh.”

And thus, Denver, who had once loved that girl, met his end while embraced her.

Tears streamed down his limp face, but no one knew if they were tears of sadness or tears of joy, celebrating liberation.

However, it had become meaningless.

Denver’s lifeless body began to move again.

It was an extremely unnatural movement, a result of the Death Knight’s skill.

[Death’s Shadow]

A skill granted by the Death Knight, resurrecting the one killed by it as a ghoul.

Denver, who had his heart pierced, was reborn as a ghoul.

“Cel…lia… No… Loyalty… Only…”

However, it was not an ordinary ghoul.

“Uh…”

Celia also seemed surprised by the ghoul’s behavior.

Even though he had become a ghoul, his former attraction still remained.

“This is quite surprising. However, your loyalty should be directed solely toward Master.”

Celia smiled and tried to send Denver, who had turned into a ghoul, to the first area.

But the ghoul didn’t budge.

“Hmm… I should have not used charm if I knew this annoying thing would happen.”

But it was too late.

Denver, in his ghoul form, would continue to follow Celia.

“Well, it can’t be helped. From now on, I’ll just call you Denver, so don’t get in my way.”

Celia pushed Denver aside and clapped her hands.

“Now, there’s a lot to do.”

Master had instructed her to manage the dungeon, create despair for those who set foot inside, and for that, she needed to stay busy.

Trading with merchants to obtain necessary items, managing various tasks throughout the dungeon, there was plenty to do for a while.

However, celia didn’t seem tired at all.

“From now on, it’s time to spread the Master’s will throughout the El Dorad continent!”

Considering the future where the entire continent would be covered with the Master’s fame, the current hardships were nothing.

“I hope that day comes soon.”

Celia’s maniacal laughter echoed through the dungeon.
