EP.43 There are no succubus in the Incubus Dungeon
A being swung a sword.
Covered in a black robe with a black mask on the face, it was impossible to tell who it was.
The orcs were swept away by the sword he wielded.
Hmm.
I sat nearby and quietly watched the scene unfold.
The figure covered in black, sweeping away the orcs, nodded towards me.
It was Maru.
Nod.
I also nodded towards Maru.
I entered the dungeon to objectively measure Marus overwhelming combat power.
At least up to the orcs, Maru could slaughter them without any problems.
In fact, Maru was currently a 4-star or B-rank.
Against D-rank orcs, it was truly easy to deal with.
However, I didnt think Maru could easily sweep away a horde of orcs as he did just now.
Even if the orcs gather, its instantaneous.
Since there was only a two-rank difference in rank, I had a cautious mind.
But that was my groundless worry.
However, there was one problem, Maru was a skeleton entirely made of black bones.
A conspicuous presence compared to the usual white skeletons.
As of now, I had to avoid drawing attention as much as possible.
So, I came up with a solution to completely cover Marus appearance with a robe and mask.
I put a black robe and a mask on Maru to easily conceal the black bones.
I also put gloves on the hand holding the demon sword.
Now Maru was a perfect skeleton in itself.
Seeing Maru in that state made me proud.
Where should we go next?
While pondering about it.
Ding
My smartphone alarm went off.
I immediately checked the contents of the alarm.
Azmo, the owner of the Temptation of Illusion dungeon, has requested support from the Master.
Huh?
Azmo is the monster leading the succubus dungeon. And just like last time, he requested support.
Well, he came under me in the first place, so I should show some mercy.
Although Azmo entered under me, one peculiar thing was that Azmos dungeon was not on the El Dorad Continent.
It was indicated on the screen that it was in a different dimension.
Even if its in another dimension, hes still a loyal servant.
All the monsters under my command were loyal, but Azmo was no exception.
No, if you look closely, he was truly a loyal guy.
I once brought an incubus that had nowhere to go.
He was just holding a fellow in his arms, but there was an alarm that Azmo was pleased.
I didnt know about others, but certainly, camaraderie overflowed.
If there are lost incubus in the future, its better to send them all here.
If I continued to deploy incubus, the number of comrades would increase, making the dungeon itself stronger.
Even now, considering the combat power, Maru could easily handle the support request just like before.
Anyway, incubus are not a combat species.
Thinking so, I opened the dungeon support window.
How should I help this time?
Sending troops was a given.
I also wanted to support with gems, but
Currently, I was almost out of gems myself.
The gem purchase limit was also lifted, and I had to recharge gems little by little
But last time, the gem price doubled.
Originally, the price was 55,000 won for 5,000 gems, but now it jumped to 110,000 won.
Immediate payment was on hold.
I need to spend some money when I make a profit this time.
This wasnt just a simple game.
It was practically the same as reality.
If the dungeon became stronger, I would become stronger as well.
So, I didnt plan to spend money little by little.
I thought about making a big payment at once.
Since the game itself would prevent gem payments like last time, I just had to pay up to the limit.
For now, lets send troops without gem support.
Since I sent Celia last time, how about sending Death Knight this time?
Besides, Celia seemed busy with a lot of tasks right now.
In addition, she had established and was operating a unit called the reconnaissance unit.
Seeing Celia, a smile naturally formed on my face.
I did pick a good Administrator.
Starting as a 3-star Succubus Administrator, now a 6-star Succubus overseeing the Dungeon. The one in charge was none other than Celia. I didnt want to burden her unnecessarily, especially after sending her on a mission.
By the way, isnt there a new package coming out?
Through package purchases, I uprankd Celia from 3 stars to 6 stars. Unfortunately, there wasnt a package available to uprank her to 7 stars.
If this continues, do I have to gather Soul Stones separately?
Last time, when I bought the uprank package, its contents were composed of Soul Stones corresponding to each rank. To uprank Celia now, there probably needed to be Soul Stones for the 6-star rank.
If by any chance a package comes out, Ill buy it immediately. If not, I might have to look for these Soul Stones.
With that thought, I turned my gaze to the list of monsters in my dungeon.
I can probably temporarily withdraw the Death Knight.
The dungeon was currently growing well without any issues.
I clicked on Death Knight and pressed the dispatch button.
After dispatching Death Knight to Azmos dungeon, I was about to press the exit button when a new alarm appeared.
Additional mission assigned.
Additional mission?
It had been a long time since I received a mission. The last time was when there was an urgent mission, and I changed Celias name.
Dispatch an additional Lich ().
Reward: Authorization to purchase a special uprank package for Arch Lich ().
?
No, what does this mean? Its not upgrading but granting the authority to purchase an uprank package.
Huh
Still, the uprank packages hadnt completely disappeared.
Whether to call this fortunate or not
If this were an ordinary game, the heavy push for in-app purchases would have led me to quit long ago. Of course, it wasnt an ordinary game, so I followed the alarms content without complaining.
My hand immediately clicked on the Lich.
Anyway, the Lich doesnt have much to do right now.
Although assigned the role of an inspector, the dungeon was currently in a peaceful period. There was no need for an inspector to be on duty 24/7.
Yeah, you too, go with Death Knight.
Similarly, I dispatched the Lich to the dungeon Temptation of Illusion.
After sending both the Death Knight and Lich, I pressed the exit button.
Based on past experiences, it always yielded good results.
So, while dispatching Death Knight and Lich, I felt a slight sense of anticipation.
I put my smartphone back in my pocket and spoke to Maru.
Lets go, Maru.
Maru nodded and followed behind me.

Azmo, the owner of the dungeon Temptation of Illusion, had a lot on his mind these days.
Those human guys are peeking into our dungeon again.
Unlike last time, humans werent openly scouting. However, there was an unpleasant feeling different from before, as if they were trying to investigate them.
There was no doubt that some trickery was at play.
Do I need to request help again?
Last time, Azmo requested help and easily overcame the crisis. He was the Azmo who, after receiving help, willingly placed himself under the command of the great being who provided assistance. Moreover, that great being even gave him a daily supply.
Azmos gaze turned to one of the incubus.
When he first came here, the incubus was quite rebellious, but now he had become quite humble.
Indeed.
The being who granted the incubus was also great and merciful. If Azmo requested help again, the merciful touch would likely be extended once more.
However, he couldnt keep going on like this forever.
This time, with the help of the great being, well overcome the crisis once again
Azmo scanned the dungeon with a determined expression.
I must dedicate the management rights of my dungeon to the great being.
That was Azmos decision.

In the early dawn, the sun was still hiding below the horizon. The surroundings were enveloped in cold darkness, and the absence of any light accentuated the lonely desolation, making it seem devoid of hope.
It was a silent time, disrupted only by the armed hunters beginning to take their positions, breaking the silence.
They were hunters from the Phoenix Guild, preparing to conquer a dungeon they had failed to clear before. The target, the Incubus Dungeon.
Guildmasters son, Jung Woo-jin, had entered and suffered a dreadful experience.
Now, the hunters of the Phoenix Guild were preparing once again to subjugate that dungeon. Leading the assault team for this conquest was A-rank hunter Seo Yeong-ho.
He looked at the hunters assembled with a stern expression and shouted, Get ready, everyone!
The dungeon they were planning to raid this time was unique in its governing structure. Although it was an Incubus Dungeon, it was suspected that the owner of the dungeon was a Succubus.
There was only one Succubus amidst numerous Incubus. Even hearing about it seemed peculiar.
And the estimated rank of the Succubus was an astonishing S-rank. Normally, the trend was to raise the rank when conquering, but at the very least, it was said to be A-rank.
Fortunately, their attack method wasnt a direct confrontation. According to the information from the advance team that went in earlier, they were seducing hunters using a charm skill that bordered on mind control.
The problem was that this charm wasnt just a simple effect. Hence, the guild leadership suspected the owner of this dungeon to be of S-rank.
Stay focused, everyone!
Seo Yeong-ho shouted to the hunters. Then, he opened his mouth to the hunter specialized in dungeon detection skills.
Hows the situation inside the dungeon?
Last time, when the advance team scouted, they missed the presence of the Succubus. So, this time, the guild attached a hunter with specialized detection skills.
Seo Yeong-ho asked if there were any particular issues, but the hunter shook his head.
Strange.
What is?
Well Incubus are undoubtedly present, but I cant sense the presence of the Succubus.
Hmm.
Seo Yeong-ho pondered on those words for a moment.
Last time, the advance team scouted multiple times, and every time, they concluded that there was no Succubus. Consequently, the entire assault team was composed entirely of male hunters, and the result was a disastrous defeat. Of course, it was possible because the owner of the dungeon whimsically spared them.
But now, even with the utilization of detection skills, there was no sense of the Succubuss presence.
Its becoming troublesome.
Could it be erasing its presence?
Just by considering the ability to freely conceal ones presence, it wasnt a simple monster.
Seo Yeong-ho surveyed his surroundings.
The hunters in this assault team were all B-rank or higher. More than half were even A-rank hunters.
It was a testament to how thoroughly the Phoenix Guild had prepared.
Furthermore, to counter Succubus and Incubus, they paid attention to artifacts capable of resisting mental manipulation. They also recruited hunters who could use buffs related to that.
With this level of preparation, the charm skill of Succubus seemed like it wouldnt pose much of a threat.
Everyone, do the final check! Even though the opponent may be specialized in mental skills, dont neglect your equipment check!
Now, it was almost time to enter the dungeon.
Seo Yeong-ho looked up at the sky. The sun was gradually rising, dispelling the darkness of dawn. Light was gradually illuminating the surroundings.
If a little while ago, it felt like darkness blocked the path ahead, now it seemed like only a hopeful future was waiting.
Seo Yeong-ho lowered his head, which had been looking up at the sky. It was time to enter the dungeon soon.
For no apparent reason, he glanced at his watch on his wrist.
Everyone, enter the dungeon now!
Hope you enjoy the chapter, if you wish to support me or read advance chapter you can do it Here
