“Return!” My body disappeared, and I reappeared in my dungeon.
Yes, it was the boss room of the dungeon, not my mansion. Being the dungeon master had somehow caused the target of my Return to change once again. For whatever reason, I hadn’t unlocked the Dungeon Master job yet. Although, I had the slightly superior Dungeon Builder job. I suspected that return, or an ability like it, was a part of Dungeon Master. This way, a dungeon master could return to their dungeon should the boss’s room be breached.
I cursed at my bad luck as I looked around the room. After everything, the guy had still attacked me. How was I to guess that some dungeons held violent opinions toward the council? It was an entire culture built around dungeons, and I had only just touched the surface. Had all of this pressure been on Elaya’s shoulders before? She was the previous dungeon master. I had created the dungeon, but I had avoided all of this trouble before because I wasn’t technically the dungeon’s master.
“Hmm? Is the evolution complete?”
“It is, Master, and a bit ahead of schedule.”This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com
I turned to see Elaya and Xin standing in the boss room, casually playing some kind of board game.
“Maybe the master is... but what is a master without his dungeon? Just because a king is less physically imposing than another king, what does that matter in a war between kingdoms?”
“You recently tamed that western dungeon, didn’t you?”
“You know about that?”
“Yes, there is a faint connection between that dungeon with our own. Once you gained his loyalty, you gained access to his lore and power. I noticed your victory. It’s part of the reason the dungeon evolution was finished so quickly.”
“Well, what about it?”
Elaya licked her lips. “I think it’s time we started a dungeon battle.”
