As the door opens up, the intense aura of the goblin queen could be felt, all over my body, but instead of being afraid I just walked as if I own the place, surprisingly thought, upon reaching inside with my hand in my pockets and with Asmodeus floating behind my back, I wasn't attacked by the goblins, instead they all made way for me.

I found this a little suspicious, but without a doubt, I could tell they all hold extreme malice towards me, but none dare to attack me, however, the woman sitting on the throne continued to look down at me with a cold stare.

As if analyzing me, I was also eyeing her down with a smile, to be honest upon observing for a short period, I could tell without a doubt, from since I arrived here, I was being stalked, because before I was hundreds of screens that were in front of the goblin queen, some of them were a replay of my previous battle against the elite goblins I massacre earlier.

However, I didn't come here for a show I came here for a massacre, although I could appreciate the beauty of women, hell I wouldn't mind keeping her as a slave or a pet, although, the number before me truly is a great amount, and seeing our different in level I know she was going to be a pain in the ass to deal with.

But seeing that they made a clearing like this, it could only mean the queen wants to talk to me, but the bigger question is can she even understand my words, goblin tongue, and human tongue is vastly different from one another?

But to my surprise, the Queen speaks first as she looks down on me from her high throne, her words were powerful and loud enough for everyone to hear, as she said.

"High demon, why did you infiltrate my territory, kill my children, and destroy my home, what have I done to you, I try my hardest to remain neutral, even going as far as making my children breed and kill among themselves to survive, so they can live normal lives far away from the world, do you wish to wage war against me, or do you have some kind of grudge with me?"

The Goblin queen said as she had an emotionless and tired look on her face and eyes, laying upon her thrones in partial enrage state.

But meanwhile, I could not help but think.

"She talks as if she was on Earth, does she not know, she was created by the world just to make me stronger than I am now, and wasn't this in another dimension?"

However, Lilith finally came clean as she explains things clearly.

[Dungeons are indeed located in pocket dimensions, however, it is the forgotten tale of an unpopular story or legend that didn't have time to bloom fort into a proper fable, what you see before you is nothing but a lie that was once true, you can say you are in a storybook or a certain chapter a false fable life, that once held great power]

Upon hearing this my eyes widen in realization, that dungeons to the world system were just historic isekai locations, it's like traveling back in time, but to a side story, of a side story, of a greater story which is a part of the main story, it didn't matter but yet it did, sad yet beautiful in a way, truly it was amazing when you think about it, this world truly knows how to entertain and shock me when it is ready.

It was as if the world was just one big library, I wonder if I am nothing but a story as well, an answer I would never know, but that's what makes it beautiful, in reality well to the world, all legendary heroes or villains of old are nothing but stories, ha.... what beautiful twist of fate, I'm just glad I can be apart of these stories, even insignificant one like these.

I wonder, just how amazing will my fairy tale and legend would be, it's like I'm the main character of my own life, but in a world like this, everyone is their own main character, but in this world, I'm just its favorite character.

"Hahaha.... well, I'm the Demon King of Lust, after all, it's natural that I'm loved, although I get that this is this dungeon world is like a side story, but I must know who is this woman before me?"

[The woman before you is the main character, this place was once an infamous place belonging to the queen of mischief who was exiled for falling in love with a Goblin overlord that was at war with her previous people]

"Wasn't goblins considered evil spirits in some mythology?"

[Yes, these goblins you are seeing are a rare type of goblins, since they all came from Necroma herself, who use her husband's DNA to turn herself into a goblin as well, although her husband died during the late war with the fairies, and if my memory is right I remember this woman was one of the greatest magic users of her time, especially with her specialty in the art of necromancy]

[Her name is Necroma D' Undying, she was one of the five original chiefs of the extinct forest fairies, a race with exceptional mana pool, it was believed that her descendant stems from some unknown supernatural entity that was said to be a part If the Tuatha De Danann, and this dungeon is the unheard story of the first queen of the forest goblin race, Necroma]

That was what Lilith said in regards to the boss monster before me, it made sense, however, it doesn't matter, I came here to do a job, and that is to kill all goblins, so with that said I began to look at the queen as I spoke.

"Oi Goblin lady I will be honest with you here, I don't need to give you a reason why I'm here killing your children, I just want you you to know that this place will be their graves, and there is nothing you can do about it, however, I will give you two choices, we can do this easy way by you coming down here to submit your life to me as my slave, and offer the life of all your remaining children as a sacrifice and tribute of loyalty to me your new master."

"Or we can do this the hard way which is me beating the living shit out of you till the point you are near death as I make you watch firsthand how I kill and massacre all your children right before your very eyes, either way, is fine with me, the turn-on will always live on, as I will enjoy my murder boner, either way, so yeah the choice is your goblin lady."

I said with a reassuring smile, however, she did not take my threat nicely, as the entire dungeon began to shake, and her purple eyes began to twitch with rage, from my point of view it was as if her mana began to leak and show itself to point it could be seen with naked eyes.

Her voice became distorted as she said with a calm but angry voice.

"Demon... have you forgotten who territory this is, do you even know who I am, who the hell are you, and what gives you the right to speak to me like that, do you want to die so badly that you forget the basics of manners, very well then I simply was going to ask you to kindly leave, but from the looks of things, in your eyes peace was never an option, to begin with, now die and become an ornament for my throne just like everyone else who dare to pick a fight with me."

At that moment, I saw the face of death itself, unfair, merciless, and unavoidable, all the goblins began to run away in fear of their life, and the sheer power of Necroma's anger began to manifest before me when I gaze at her, I didn't see anything beautiful at all, no all I saw was death sitting upon a throne of bones, of different species.

Above her, reality began to shatter, like glass, as a mass of the unavoidable, began to manifest upon this world, the living began to tremble before the deceased, as hands dark, menacing hands came fort from the crack above her head, as her dark mana began to swirl into a singularity which devours those hands, and what came after was a single black eye that stares into to the very soul of the living, it was a void.

The eye gazed at me, however, it began releasing a thick burst of weird mana, and then that's when I saw it, the flow of mana, normally my eyes can't register what I can't physically see, although the exception to that is mana or life force, and since this thing was born from mana, it was also an exception.

And right after the eyes grew a mouth and spit out a black skull, instantly I began to feel an absolute sense of death, and as the attack heads towards me.

By instinct, my body began to move out of the way of the attack, but as I move, it began to follow me, I didn't let up, no matter what, I can't allow that thing to touch me.

Yes, it's like knowing your death is coming, so I began to maneuver myself with blistering speed all over the room, jumping from wall to wall, but as I jump over the flying skull and bounced off the walls as it continues to follow me.

"What the hell is that thing?"

I ask as I run away from it, but as soon as I escape it always finds a way to reach me, but the same could be said because when it is close to me, I dodge at an impossible speed, as my body moves in impossible ways, trying to avoid this thing at all cost.

Meanwhile, the gobling queen had a face of shock as she said.

"No way, no fucking way, it can't be, how can you see it?"

What does she mean how can I see it, she was the one that cast to begin with.

But her voice wouldn't let up.

"Why won't my instant death magic reach you, why are you allowed to look death in the face, that is impossible, anyone touched by the spirit of death, dies no question asked, what the hell are you?"

Upon saying that I began to notice something.

"Spirit of death, then this thing is a spirit?"

I wondered, and the one to confirm this for me, was Lilith as she said.

[Yes this is a high-level spell that summons fort death's spirit from the land of the dead, a place where nothing is alive, not even concepts or laws]

"I see if that is the case, I wonder if can I kill death with Asmodeus since it can cut through spiritual bodies as well? Agh... shit well I don't have much of a choice, either way, if I die here today because death is chasing me, then I am not worthy of the title of Demon King, who knows maybe I can even get off to been killed."

So with that said, I clench my muscle tightly, as I jump high in the air, and began to run up the air as if I was running up some stairs, it was at this moment I was taken advantage of my surroundings since I can stand walk, run, and balance my self on any form of matter.

And when I reach high above the ground, to the point I can touch the roof, I immediately, bounce off the roof with Asmodeus in a slashing position and shot down towards the spirit of death, and with all my might I slash the spirit of death in two.

And all I heard was an in-human screech as it fades from existence.

Nyanjaggawgsghahwjsjsjooo!!!

This shocked the goblin queen as she shouted.

"Impossible."

And right after I land on the ground among a crowd of goblins, and point my sword toward her and said.

"Well, I guess it is the hard way then."
