Evil God Chapter 37

As the dungeon we would stick our hands into, Ipstar was chosen.

No, I told them that Yufilia and the others would be coming here, so we chose it as our test.

“There are too many enemies. Even if the hero is fine, it’s too much for normal adventurers. Also, get rid of the melbores.”

“If they were in a narrow pa.s.sage, I thought they’d struggle against the melbores, and I put them in there though.”

“That’s the thinking of an amateur. If you hara.s.s them too much, people won’t come.”

“I apologize. I’ll rethink the arrangement.”

Adrigori lowered his head.

Also, it’s strange that such a monster is in such a narrow pa.s.sage.

Well, I mean, there are many other suspicious points though.

Why treasure chests automatically appear?

Why does the boss resurrect after a while?

If we’re asked that, no one has an answer.

“What about the boss?”

“For the time being, I placed an Evil Chimaera there.”

I nod at Adrigori’s answer.

Evil Chimaera.

Unlike normal ones, the monsters summoned by evil G.o.ds are pretty strong.

‘Evil’ gets added onto their names, but they can’t release jaki, so it’s fine.

They won’t be able to know the monster’s name.

They’ll just think that’s pretty strong.

After giving instructions to Adrigori, I return to the entrance of the dungeon.

Women’s baths are long.

I thought it’d be about time now and returned to the entrance, but they haven’t come back yet.

Not here yet?

When I was about to check on the situation with Evil Vision, they finally warped back here.

Their bodies were still hot from the bath. Their beautiful skin was still wet.

It’s impossible to determine whether the sweet smell is their own scent or from the shampoo.

“Can you please stop looking at me with those lewd eyes?”

“I’m not looking at you like that. I thought I told you before that I don’t have any s.e.xual desire?”

“That’s definitely a lie. You’ve already become a s.e.xual desire monster.”

Tiraiza looks over here with a distrusting gaze.

If I had become a monster, you’d already have become a victim.

“More importantly, I’ve found something in the dungeon.”

I say so, and lead them inside.

It’s a room in the middle of the dungeon.

Inside it is a big silver colored treasure chest.

“No matter how I look at it, it’s a treasure chest.”

Yufilia tilts her head.

“Why is there a treasure box here?”

Iris seems to be suspicious.

“There’s a possibility of it being a trap too.”

Tiraiza is wary of it.

Everyone seems suspicious of it. Just by seeing a treasure chest, they seem to think it’s mysterious.

This is reality.

“Then someone check for traps and cancel them please.”

“Those skills don’t exist in this world.”

“Cancelling the traps(physically) is fine too.”

“Are you telling me to attack the traps?”

I questioned her with my eyes half closed, but Tiraiza still keeps her serious face.

I’m fine with that though. They shouldn’t have set traps yet anyways.

The moment I opened the treasure box, a gas and a liquid gushed out of it.

Wait, weren’t there supposed to be no traps?

Well, even poisonous gases have no effect on me though…….

“It sttiiiiiiiinkkksss!”

What hit me were the breath and sap of a melbore.

“Uwaa……”

Yufilia draws away from me now that I’m covered in sap.

“You smell, so please don’t come over here.”

Tiraiza retreats while pinching her nose.

“You smelled like this until recently though!”

“We just got clean, so give us a break.”

Even Jamie took distance from me.

In the end, I went back to change clothes.

They’ll be fine since they have 4 people, so they went on ahead.

I warp to the Dark Temple.

“Why are there already traps set up!? We were supposed to do that later!”

“Not only doing what’s told, going ahead and implementing it quickly is first-cla.s.s. Thinking that, Adrigori got fired up and did them in a night.”

The old man explains the circ.u.mstances.

Don’t get fired up about that.

I’ll go take a bath and change my clothes.

“What will you do? Will you rejoin with them?”

“No, they're already at the climax. I don’t really feel like fighting, so I just observe them.”

Saying that, I watch the situation of the dungeon with my Evil Vision.

Yufilia and the others reached the deepest part of the dungeon.

After that, there weren’t many traps or enemies, and they were able to proceed smoothly.

“Even though Ashtal hasn’t returned, we’re fine right?”

The 3 nod to Yufilia’s words.

They break into the room in the back.

“What’s this room?”

It was a large and suspicious room.

There were a number of skulls on the edges of the shelves and a creepy tapestry on the wall.

It looked like a room where one would perform strange rituals.

On the floor was a mysterious magic formation.

And waiting in the room was an Evil Chimaera.

“That chimaera……is not normal.”

Tiraiza senses its atmosphere.

“I wonder if that’s ruling over this dungeon’s monsters?”

Iris mutters while getting into battle mode.

“That chimaera doesn’t seem to have intelligence…….let’s beat it and investigate this room.”

At Yufilia’s words, 4 people faced the chimaera.

“Gaaaaaa!”

The chimaera who was attacked cried out.

At the same time, it casts magic.

They’re lightning b.a.l.l.s. Their speed isn’t very fast.

However, they followed and kept hunting after them.

“Kuu.”

Knowing that it’ll follow her even if she dodges, Jamie receives the attack.

It’s hard to fight while avoiding it.

It’s a tactic she chose because she’s confident in her durability.

Yufilia continued to attack the chimaera while dodging the lightning b.a.l.l.s.

The problem is the two in the rear.

Even if they dodge the b.a.l.l.s, it’d still be difficult to use magic.

However, unlike Jamie, they can’t just take it with their bodies.

Because their durabilities are completely different.

Tiraiza took distance from the b.a.l.l.s, and casted magic in the gap.

“Magic barrier!”

An anti magic barrier is formed, and collides with the lightning b.a.l.l.s.

The barrier seems to have been stronger, and the lightning b.a.l.l.s disappeared.

“Fuu.”

Tiraiza sighed.

On the other hand, Iris prepared herself, and received the ball.

Her priest clothes get tattered.

The damage must have been great.

However, she instantly healed herself.

They had a hard time initially, but after that they stabilized, and the gradually took the advantage.

In the second half it shot more lightning b.a.l.l.s, but they each easily dealt with them, and the Evil Chimaera was slaughtered.

“Is it just this?”

I was a little let down.

“Since they were the hero party they were able to win without any major problems, but what would happen to other adventurers?”

While asking for the old man’s opinion, I tilted my head.

“Should we lower the rank of the monsters a little more?”

“We should consider it.”

“Eventually they’ll learn that the boss here is strong, and only worthy people will come. The reckless idiots will die. That’s pretty much it.”

In order to obtain treasure, you need to take a certain level of risk.

It might be possible to order the monsters to let them out alive even if they lose.

However, I find that to be a little too warm.

To humans, this world is tough.

I wrap up my conversation with the old man, and return to Ipstar.

“Yo. We already beat the boss.”

The first thing I heard when I returned to the deepest part of the dungeon was Jamie’s complaint.

“Also, if you’re not a pervert, then don’t look at Iris.”

Since Iris was. .h.i.t with 2 lightning b.a.l.l.s, her white, l.u.s.trous skin was showing from various parts of her outfit.

Of course, there were risky parts around her stomach and her chest, so she was embarra.s.sed.

I was told not to look, so I saw it with Evil Vision though.

Because I’m not a pervert.

“There was a boss in the back of the dungeon, and it was protecting a treasure box. That’s strange.”

“I wonder who did this?”

“Apparently things like this existed in the past.”

“Even so, we just had to defeat it and everything ended. Why did this happen again?”

“Yeah……”

Yufilia and Tiraiza were tilting their heads.

“This room is suspicious too, but there’s nothing here.”

“There’s also a magic formation drawn on the floor, but I don’t feel any magic power.”

It’s because it’s one of Adrigori’s productions.

Just to make the atmosphere, he made these sets.

“It doesn’t really matter, as long as there’s treasure.”

“That’s true. Anyways, let’s open it.”

I thoughtlessly respond to Jamie.

“Yeah, open it please.”

I knew I’d have to open it.

I hope it’s not the same trap as last time.

Normally, there wouldn’t be any traps in the treasure chest you get after beating the boss.

If there is one, I’ll scold the one responsible for an hour.

I prepare myself and open the chest, but there seems to be no trap.

Inside it some gold and silver jewels crowded the chest, this can’t be said but there’s plenty of treasure.

“Ooh--”

“I guess it’s not bad.”

Jamie and Tiraiza check the contents of the chest.

“But where did this treasure come from? Who’d benefit from doing this?”

The evil G.o.ds would benefit from this.

I answered Yufilia in my mind.

“It’d be great if other dungeons were like this.”

“Let’s keep this a secret until we investigate the other dungeons.”

I get surprised by Tiraiza’s remark.

Eh?

You’re not going to report this to the guild?

I’ll be troubled if news about this doesn’t spread though.

This fact spread, and dungeons became very popular…….this did not happen.
