Chapter 1222

“I’m sorry!” bawled Faeyna.

“Waaaaaaaaaaahhh!”

Alysia, the red-headed Osterian knight, and general who braved dungeons and fought unbeatable monsters, was in my lap crying like a baby. I was stroking her hair as she cried out her significant trauma. Faeyna was in the corner, also crying. The witch had incidentally covered Matty’s eyes at just the right time, and he didn’t experience any trauma, but she had a slightly helpless expression on her face as well. This is why I needed to provide support! When I didn’t get involved, it was always someone’s ass on the line.

“Master! I finally found Pait and the rest of your party!” Celeste blissfully spoke up just as I was praying for a distraction.

“We’ve broken through the 5th level!” Elaya came shortly after.

“Damn it! I surrender!” A voice echoed throughout the dungeon.

“Oh, thank goodness.” I sighed. “Um... Alysia...”

“Master... am I... damaged goods now?” She asked me.

Having already seen Matty do this once before, I was caught off guard. This wasn’t the true dungeon lore, but a copy. It appeared like when one dungeon surrendered to another, it was customary to offer up your lore. This isn’t the curse, but the collection of knowledge. It would allow the dungeon to create more mobs, more traps, and various other things. Currently, my dungeon had extracted various lore, although at the time I didn’t know that was what I was doing.

For example, Xin’s soldiers were a template of the demonic knights that I devoured when I took out the mining town near Alerith. Once I incorporated this knowledge into our dungeon, we’d be able to start making various types of goblins and orcs. I took the orb, but I wasn’t happy with that.

“Where is the party? That’s ultimately why I attacked. Celeste?”

“Ah... Master... as to that... they were still asleep in the Passage. Most of the dungeon was near the base, we never got close to your party traveling down the passage. That’s why it took so long for me to find them.”

“You mean that Gram never touched the party?” I blinked.

“Why would I? You’re the dungeon master threat!” The cloaked man growled.

“I see...” That entire situation could have been diffused a lot easier.

Oh well, all’s well that ends well.
