Looking for a silver-haired woman? Dont worry. Ill assist you in finding her by your side.

You dont need to go this far But thanks. By the way, werent you the owner of that Demon kings castle? The dungeon and all that?

Are you concerned about me? I appreciate the sentiment, but you neednt worry to that extent. I am a Demon king, born to rule. The form of a Demon kings castle is not important. Where I am is the domain of demons, and all the demons around me are my legion.

Is it some kind of Demon kings power? Like, you can gather nearby demons just by your will?

Thats right. Although Ive never tried it.

Is that really okay?

My father did it too. I can do it probably.

Quite the inexperienced Demon king, isnt it? That last probably was particularly irritating.

Doubts began to creep in, but not wanting to dampen Meljes confident demeanor, Devourer murmured a small wow in response. Whether it was due to feigned praise or not, Meljes lips lifted slightly.

Well, if thats how they see themselves, then so be it.

Well, thats one thing. Actually, the castle that my father passed on to me was partially destroyed by what happened earlier I honestly didnt feel good about it, not at all! Being so close to the capital of the human empire is tough.

Apologies for the destruction of the castle.

Watching the stars at night is quite romantic, but I regret not having a hobby of basking in the sun during the day.

The culprit behind the partial destruction of the Demon kings castle quietly shook its head.

The road to the heart of Riaze was farther than expected.

Fortunately, there was no concern about getting lost. Almost every road in Riaze was leading toward the citys center. Red flags reappeared whenever they seemed to fade from view. The massive castle sat centrally, guiding with red flags.

Although the view of the castle diminished the further they moved away from the center, obscured by misty walls, it was enough to gauge its immense size.

It was incomparable in size to Hastin, the peripheral baronial seat.

Undoubtedly the dwelling of the human empires head.This chapter was first shared on the Ñøv€lß1n platform.

Melje and Devourer were heading toward the center of the empire for a simple reason. Unable to walk all the way to Hastin, they might have the only means to reach Hastin within the inner central castle of the empire.

Teleportation Hub, its called, a human invention that compiles magical and alchemical advancements. Ive never used it, so I dont know much, but its said to be a device that forcibly triggers spatial transference magic. It might be of help to Sir Devde.

Above all,

Curious, Devourer tried the beer but immediately put the glass down, clearly not to his taste. He looked around as they sat in a place quite different from the taverns in small villages like Hastin.

The space was at least six times the height of an average human. Stairs rose up to the third floor, and the whole ambiance exuded an artistic vibe.

Water flowed between skillfully placed stone sculptures, and groups of people sat among them, discussing business or contracts, as Devourer could gather from the repetitive words revenue or agreement.

Whats that?

Devourer, scanning the surroundings, noticed something and got up from his seat. Melje, despite trying to finish her drink, followed his gaze. Devourer walked to the far end of the first-floor tavern corridor, where a wall displayed rows of paper.

Lists of dungeons within the empire, or dungeons allowing access from other countries, were documented here. They categorized dungeons based on various factors, recommending a number of participants and detailing potential rewards.

Occasionally, at the bottom of some dungeon descriptions, were the names of various expedition parties. To prevent conflicts, it seemed these lists served to avoid simultaneous entries by multiple parties.

Thats the list of expedition parties for each dungeon. To prevent clashes, you see. Its because conflicts arise when they distribute rewards.

Which is good for us.

Us? Is Sir Devde also a dungeon-bound demon? By the way, there was something I wanted to ask. Even if youre one, how come you freely roam outside the dungeon?

Its complicated Can we just let that go?

You hide a lot, Sir Devde. Well, there must be reasons. Okay, I wont ask anymore.

As Devourer scanned the list, his attention was caught by seven red sheets. They were placed at a height even Devourer, with his considerable height, had to reach for. The familiar writing caught his eye.

[The Seven Great Evil Dungeons, Primordial Core.]

Boss: Ancient Monster Devourer

Oh, thats my place.

Devourer smiled unconsciously, feeling an unexpected sense of joy. Melje reached out her hand as well, but since Devourer was engrossed in the paper, she didnt manage to touch it.

What?! What are you looking at so intently? I want to see too! Dont be selfish, show me!

Watching Meljes gestures for a moment, Devourer finally extended the red paper toward her. Taking it in her hands, the small demon was engrossed in the contents. Her eyes widened gradually as she read.

Suddenly, she turned to Devourer with an excited voice.

Ha! The Primordial Core! I know everything about this dungeon! Sir Devde, it seems youre interested too! This is my favorite dungeon, the Primordial Core! If you have any questions, ask me! Ill tell you everything!

Seeing Devourers surprised expression, Melje cleared her throat and began explaining.
