Volume 1 Chapter 6 (1/2)

We headed towards the house of the Succubus living in this area.

This Succubus was the one in charge of this residential area.

Furthermore, it seems like this residential area was the only safe one on this floor.

Each floor of the Dungeon is divided into three rooms and each of these rooms could be set up individually. I heard that if one were to take a single step outside of the residential area, they’d be attacked by the blood-thirsty monsters.

For us to reach our goal, the Maelstroms that gushes out monsters, we needed the guidance of the Succubus.

We finally arrived at the Succubus’ house and so we knocked.

“Ara, ara. Maa, maa. Welcome [Creation] Demon Lord Procell-sama. I didn’t expect you to pay me a visit on the very first day.”

A calmed toned woman appeared.

But of course, this was no ordinary woman.

She had pink hair, a voluptuous figure, and most noticeably, bat-like wings and a slick, hairless tail.

Such was the B rank monster Succubus.

She had a special effect on her that anyone that looked at her would be attracted to her.

I then felt a pain in my hand. It was Tenko pinching me.

“Muu, Oto-san, what a loose face.”

I must have had a pretty dirty look on my face when I was looking at the Succubus.

Tenko pouted.

It was horrible. With that, I wouldn’t have had any dignity left as both a Demon Lord and as a father.

So I cleared my throat and calmed my mind.

“Succubus. We came here for a task. We want to raise our levels right away, you see, so we wish to use the D rank Maelstrom.”

By the way, it seemed like the D rank monster that comes out of the Maelstrom was the monster I fought when I had just woken up, the blue wolf Garm.

If I could defeat it with just an automatic handgun, I saw no reason to lose to it now that I carried the M&K MK416, an assault rifle.

Their capabilities were worlds apart.

“Is that so? I understand. I’ll guide you. Well then, I hope we can be friends.”

“Thanks, you’re helping us out a lot.”

The Succubus beckoned.

When Tenko and I came close enough, the Succubus closed her eyes and began concentrating.

A magic formation appeared under our feet.

She had the ability to transfer to any room or level she wished to within this Dungeon.

It seems it was for this reason that she was in charge of the residential area. As long as she had the strength, she could send the monsters living in the residential area to wherever they were needed. One doesn’t need to think hard to know the advantages such an ability would create.

And then, light rose and the transfer magic was activated.

◇

There were dead trees and huge tumbling rocks in the wasteland we were transferred to and not long after we walked, we caught sight of a swirl of black and purple.

That swirl was the Maelstrom, the thing one could buy by paying for a hundred fold the price of a monster. Once each day, that monster would spring forth from the Maelstrom. And for this Maelstrom, the monster coming out it was the D rank monster Garm.

“Ara, how lucky. A monster will come out anytime now. I’m glad we didn’t have to wait.”

“Somehow, I just knew.”

Although I wasn’t told of anything, I had sensed the power rising from the swirl.

When monsters of the D rank were created with fixed levels, it would typically be created at around level 30 to 40.

Generally, it looked like those monsters would be on par with Demon Lords and S rank monsters at level 1.

I had heard that under the assumption that my basic abilities were on par with a Garm, it was then expected that I would certainly win over it by having a unique skill under my belt. And so, the Garm was set on me in my first fight.

I distanced myself about 200 meters away from the swirl.

“Ara, ara. Is it fine to be that far away? Weren’t you here to hunt the Garm and level up?”
