Chapter 44: Dungeon War

5 days passed by in a flash and the day Gelgar awaited soon arrived. A wide spatial gate had formed just outside his dungeon which spun in an anticlockwise direction and looked just like an abyss that could swallow everything. This was the spatial get that connected both of their dungeons and allowed forces to pass from each. He knew that the other side led towards another dungeon but still wondered how it was made.

“Mike, Berd it’s time. lead the army towards the other side of the gate and show that lowborn demon that his death has arrived hahaha” he ordered his subordinates as he stared at the gate. Now that he was so close to getting what he wanted, he couldn’t wait any longer. plus when he imagined the despairing face of the demon on the other side, a twisted sense of pleasure like electricity ran through his whole body.

Immediately the two Demon Barons started giving commands and the monster army swiftly and steadily started marching towards the spatial gate. It was quite strange to see monsters making a formation just like an actual army but since they were spawned monsters loyal to the dungeon master, they obeyed all commands. The gate was wide enough to allow multiple monsters to pass through at once and even the huge Armored Drillmans that were more than ten meters in size and looked like a bipedal tortoise with spiky porcupine shells on their back, easily passed through the gate.

One after the other the monsters went in and before long all of the monsters passed throught the gate. After seeing that the army had almost finished passing through the gate, Gelgar swiftly followed suit. Just as he stepped inside the gate, he felt his centre of balance shifting and a moment of weightlessness before everything became normal once again

After passing through the gate, he saw a wide forest with enormous tall trees and sensed a dense amount of manas pervading the air. The air was rich and the manas was so pure here that it couldn’t be compared to the manas pervading his dungeon. Looking all around the forest, Gelgar knitted his brows as if deliberating something. He felt like he knew where this place was but his memories were eluding him and he couldn’t exactly recall where this place was.

A few meters ahead in a wide clearance was a fifty meters tall spiral tower. It looked quite grand with all those intricate patterns and designs that spread all over its surface, a wide entrance pitch black in colour prevented anyone from peering inside. The tower that lay in front of them was their destination and also a dungeon.

“Heh, so this is that lowborn demon’s dungeon. Well, it’s not half bad considering it was made by him. Hehe, it still won’t be able to save him” Gelgar looked at the majestic tower and sneered. Though the tower looked grand and impressive, once he killed that demon or destroyed his dungeon core, everything would collapse and become nothing more but ruin. Wasting no more time, he commanded “Mike, Berd order the monsters to begin their march through that entrance, show that lowborn demon that is turtling inside his dungeon what it means to be on the mercy of others.”

“Yes, Sir Gelgar” the both of them replied in unison and roared at the hordes of monsters. The monsters roared back in a thunderous clatter as if answering the call and started charging towards the entrance of the dungeon as ordered. Soon after all of them went inside the dungeon and a stifling silence pervaded the surrounding.

“Are you watching this? has your body started cowering and you want to run? or have you already fled from this place?. It doesn’t matter as long as the dungeon here, there is nowhere for you to run… Hahaha” Gelgar looked towards the dungeon and said before he too went inside.

Simon sitting on his jade sofa on the 20th floor watched the scene unfold from his dungeon menu and as soon as all of the intruders went inside, a wicked smile crept up to his face. “It is time to see the effectiveness of the dungeon. You guys shall be my first test subject, it kind of reminds me of the beta testing of that game that I developed. My dear players, do enjoy everything that I have set up for you” he said with a wide smile displaying his sharp fangs and a crimson glow on his face.

[Entered Dungeon:- (BLANK)]

“A no-name dungeon huh” Gelgar snickered as a notification popped up in front of him right after he stepped through the entrance.

After entering the tower, Gelgar saw a wide empty area with a tall ceiling. Two flights of stairs that led straight up towards the top of the tower were on two opposite corners and at the far end of the area was a gigantic double door. Carved on its surface were depictions of angels and demons facing each other.

Looking at the splendour of the gate, Gelgar couldn’t help but comment “That lowborn has quite the artistic sense if nothing else. But it’s a pity that after I kill you, your dungeon will naturally collapse along with you”. Right after saying that, He turned towards his two subordinates and instructed, “Open the gate and head inside, destroy everything that he has set and watch out for any traps that may have been laid”.

Two Armored Drillmans went ahead and opened the gigantic double doors. Even with their build, they only reached one-third of the height of the gate.
