The Labyrinth Kingdom

Chapter 08 the knight of judgment

There are several ways to summon monsters to the labyrinth, but the fastest way is their “Summoning”.

"Summoning" is magic to summon creatures from different worlds. Magic will create a connecting "gate" and control the creature that passes through the "gate.

But the magic of "Summoning" is erratic, There are times when the magic ends without getting anything through the gate and just wasting the mana used to open the gate.

You might have also managed to summon something, but it might be much stronger than you which made you unable to control it and ended up dying in the hands of the creature.

"Summoning" magic doesn't require many requirements to activate it, but it is one of the dangerous magic with a high level of difficulty.

However, there was no tension or fear visible on Aaron's face.

He had mastered the magic of "Summoning" for a long time and had a skill called "Demon call" which allowed him to summon any monster he liked once in a day for sure.

“—Summon, Knights of Judgment Order hellhounds.

After the "Summoning" spell was finished and the portal had formed, he started activating his “Demon Call” skill.

Not far from where the two were sitting, a coffin that exuded an evil aura appeared.

The magic of "Summoning" allows the magician to summon creatures from other worlds, so when the creature is successfully summoned, the body of the creature must be adjusted first in order to live in the world where it is called.

The coffin began to open and a gray cloud came out from it.

The cloud slowly turned into a figure that looked like a human. The creature groaned in a low voice, perhaps feeling pleased or perhaps also being angry, having been summoned.

The Knight of Judgment orders hellhounds.

The information about the monster was inscribed in the "Scripts of catastrophizing", he was one of the knights who appeared at the end of the world.

At first glance, he looked like an ordinary knight.

He wore a dark blue armor and helmet and wore a light green robe.

the long sword hanging on his waist was adorned with the figure of a chained man suffering from grief, and his sword sheath was inscribed with ominous words.

But the strangest thing of all was the sound of the crackling of chains that sounded every time he moved.

The knight had countless chains hanging on his waist.

At the end of the chain was a collar attached.

“I welcome you with pleasure, for having listened to my call ”

Aaron greeted the knight.

His voice seemed to greet a friend who had come to pay a visit to his mansion, he looked very relaxed.

Groaning, the knight looked at Aaron.

as he began to hold back his moans, he knelt down and bowed.

The chain with the collar made a crackling sound, there were ten of them in sight at the moment, but it was likely that the rest were being hidden under his cloak.

Taking the posture of a soldier, the knight replied in a rough and low voice.

[I submit to you, sir. ]

“Tenace. We still haven't made a pact, gentlemen. ”

[Yes. ]

still kneeling, the knight slowly raised his face.

When he saw the knight, Aaron continued to speak.

“There was an intruder who broke through our labyrinth. Here they are. ”

He lightly touched one of the crystals that floated on the table and slowly aimed it at the knight. The image of the person displayed on the crystal, projected before the knight. What appeared there were members of the [holy sword] and [sword valkyrie].

"I want you to catch some of them alive. ”

[……]

“you can kill others. Then the rest is up to what you want to do to them. ”

[Capture them alive?]

“Also, keep an eye on the goblins. I want them to start being useful. ”

[according to your wishes. ]

"that's the only order I have right now, what do you want as compensation?"

[You are strong, I want to serve under you. ]

“i will consider it depending on your performance today. ”

"Go now . ”

After receiving the order, the knight nodded lightly and started walking leaving the "treasure hall".

"He's more obedient than I thought, brother!"

"really. ”

The ruler of the Underground Labyrinth, Aaron, possesses the skills of [Evil Charisma], [nobility of darkness], and [heinous soul] which gives him great bonuses during the negotiation process with monsters, especially those considered evil.

But because of those skills as well, he got punishments such as [fear instinct: Man], [Threat to All the Saints], [Treatment to All the Saints], and [hated by All Fair] this skill is active when dealing with characters who are usually honest and kind, especially humans.

unlike her sister, Alice did not have the ability to summon monsters, nor any skills that provided bonuses in negotiations with them.

"If she rebelled, I thought about showing her your strength. ”

"of course! Brother's enemy is also my enemy! ”

Aaron looked at his sister, who was smiling as he said that, with expressionless eyes.

Realizing her brother's gaze, Alice was immediately reminded of something.

“By the way, why did you let some of them escape alive? Wouldn't it be better if they were killed, after all we also need a lot of sacrifices to improve the labyrinth, right? ”

"Yes, that's why I deliberately let some people off alive. ”

When she said that, she showed her sister one of the projection crystals .

What was displayed there were adventurers who were having fun as they took out gems from the old-looking coffin.

Some of them rubbed their cheeks into sacks filled with money and some even started kissing the metal goddess statue.

“i want them to get a feel for what this labyrinth has to offer and return to the city to spread the word. ”

"Hmm ~m, but brother?!"

"?"

"If your goal is just to spread rumors, wouldn't it be better if we hired the right agents instead of these people?"

Hearing that, Aaron looked away from Alice.

“…. Well, that's a good idea too. If this plan fails, word will execute your plan. ”

"Yeah..! Sister ! "

When he saw Alice who was smiling innocently.

Aaron's Mind.

He was willing to make all the sacrifices necessary to carry out his revenge.

Right now, he had even given up most of his body and soul to set up the territory and strength needed for revenge.

After this he also had to enlarge his territory and strengthen his strength. He will not refuse to make any sacrifices that are needed throughout the process.

However, he thought of not making unnecessary sacrifices.

But what about his sister?

She understood a little about what her sister felt from the process she integrated herself with the labyrinth.

However, he could not read what was in his heart.

Just as her sister had no way of knowing what she was thinking, she also had no idea what her sister was thinking.

What did Alice think?

Realizing the question he was asking, he began to ridicule himself.

Because he would probably forgive her no matter what his sister thought.

Because of his hypocrisy, he unintentionally said out loud.

"What a horrible man. ”

"Hm!? The sister? What's wrong?"

“No, it's nothing. Rather than that, how was the knight? ”

As he said that, he peered into the crystal.

It won't be long before the Knights of Judgment who ruled the hellhounds will make contact with the members of the [holy sword].
