The walls surrounding the Royal Capital are even higher and thicker near the dungeons. Dungeons are both a source of wealth and a den of monsters. Because of that, they are separated by a specially made thick wall.
Looking down from the walls, the chaos was obvious.
“Oh my, something bad is about to happen, fufufu.”
A man and woman look down at the entrance of the Eastern Dungeon. It was the man who is standing who spoke.
Normally, a guard would be placed in this position, but due to the chaos, there was no one at this post now. As if watching the game from a special seat, the man crossed his arms, and the woman sat on the edge with her legs dangling back and forth.
The night breeze flutters their black robe. Their hood was pulled down low, showing the need to conceal their true identities rather than to appear suspicious at first glance.
“Gideon of House Warburg seems to have used it very generously this time.”
The man and woman were the pair who had come into contact with Gideon in the Royal Castle. The woman hidden in the robe curved her lustrous lips.
“It’s the remains of a titan after all. It’s the ashes of a giant who nearly burned the world with the flames of the apocalypse but could not fulfill it due to the seal. Anyways, it only revives the monsters from the Great Seal Era that are sleeping in the dungeon.”
The increase in the number of skeletons in the Eastern Dungeon was also due to that ash. Gideon was delighted with the royalty-like power that strengthened the dungeon and made it more profitable.
—However, it’s actually the opposite.
The Royal Family manages the seals of the dungeons and can make the monsters weak or strong. However, the ashes of the titan is different. With a flame that melts the sealing ice, the ashes only unleash the monsters. If it is a small amount, the number of magic stones will increase and rare items will be discovered. However, if one becomes intoxicated with its power and uses it too much, they will awaken an irreversible presence.
“The Raven Warriors were caught huh.”
“Yeah. They must have thought that they could relax after sealing off the dungeon. The ashes I gave to Gideon were particularly hot and fierce….”
The woman giggles.
“Mr. Noble must have been so vexed that he was beaten by the boy he hates. What a tough luck, fufu.”
Listening closely, you might hear Gideon’s screams coming from the dungeon.
“Mine! It’s miiiiine!”
It was only a short time ago that he broke the blockade and disappeared underground. In a fit of rage, he must have scattered the titan’s ashes throughout the dungeon.
What had he caused?
What was it that he had been using in the first place?
He must have experienced it firsthand.
“Oh, he’ll be coming out soon♪”
The woman pointed out and licks her lips with her long tongue.
“Our target is Rion. We don’t have to go inconspicuous anymore……”
Guards began to flee from the Eastern Dungeon. Having sensed something was wrong, the kingdom’s guards had entered the dungeon. They hurriedly drop the iron bars on the grand staircase leading to the basement.
However, the thick iron bars were blasted away. Monsters crawl out of the dungeon one after another.
Kobolds, goblins, skeletons, wargs and—
“He’s here, he’s coming♪”
The first thing to appear was a shield. It was a large shield that seemed to have torn off the castle gate. A huge body that reaches 3 meters in height followed after. The face was like that of a wolf, with ears exposed. The dark armor shone in the moonlight, and the helmet shone with a crest that resembled a wolf’s tail.
The guards panicked. The guild officials fled first.
“Call the adventurers!”
“Call for Help!”
“Where are the people from the temple!?”
There were chorus of shouts and screams and the woman gasps in delight.
“Oh, truly wonderful…… If the Werewolf Zombie is the covert boss, then he is the true Lord.”
The giant emerged from the dungeon holding “something” in his hand.
“He was probably planning to unleash the power of the dungeon, obtain a rare item, and get back at the boy, but.…”
The giant tosses “it” away.
If Gideon had been conscious, the last sight he would see would have been the dark night sky.
Freed from the ice seal, the werewolf Skoll let out a cry that shook the royal capital.
