Chereads / Dungeon Mistress / Chapter 13 - The Mistress of the Dungeon

Chapter 13 - The Mistress of the Dungeon

When Assu woke up and saw the facts, he flew into a black rage by deploying all his mana in the room.

- Damn succubus! That's why I exterminated you all. I will send you to hell as everything is the same.

Terrified by Assu's mana and rage, Lust flew up into the air again to distance himself from the creature. Ralph, who was seriously injured and whose team had been wiped out, felt even more the danger that awaited them all. He tried to get up by leaning on his sword but without success. Both of his legs were totally broken. He could only wait for death in his current position. A death that was right in front of him.

But in his desperation, one thing shocked him and created even greater confusion than the despair that was gripping his person. This thing was none other than Hella's act of creating a barrier around him to protect him from Assu's fury.

- But who are you at the end?

He shouted when Hella got up, walked towards Assu then turned around while smiling before answering him.

- Take a good look, you'll soon find out.

Hella was now facing Assu. Who seemed to have calmed down a bit more and was almost totally regenerated. Face to face with hella, he uttered

- You all piss me off. You are only weak and you dare to attack the strongest with your tricks and your unfair and dishonest methods. You really deserve that I slaughter you all as much as you are.

- Your problem is that you talk a little too much. But before I start, I'm going to take off this bracelet.

Hella then removed the bracelet that was in her hand and which hid her current status in the hierarchy of the dungeon. From then on, a terrifying mana emanated from his body filling the room. The mere fact of being in contact with such a terrifying mana made all the other ogres still present in the room tremble with fear and dread. Ralph and lust were no exception. They felt it deep within themselves. A real monster had just appeared. Lust held his arms shaking and thinking to himself

- What is...that thing? Damn, my whole body is telling me to run away and as far away as possible. And to think that I dared to attack that... without knowing it. Shit, she's gonna eat us all.

When Ralph, he felt the same way saying to himself

- Run away! Flee! Flee! Flee! Don't stand there, this thing is not for humans. But... who are you or rather, what kind of monstrosity are you?

The amount of mana released from Hella was just phenomenal. It filled the whole room and broke the floor underfoot. Seeing this, Assu took a step back. Even he couldn't ignore the threat in front of him anymore. A feeling that he could not explain invaded his heart. A feeling that made him see the face of death instead of that of the person facing him.

The expression on hella's face had completely changed. There should have been a mixture of anger and pleasure accompanied by a small smile that made him look even more creepy and repulsive. Nothing to do with his usually impassive face.

She held out her right hand to Assu and conjured up a filled glass. She lowered her mana intensity and put the glass on the ground at Assu's feet. Then with a pretty smile and a soft voice, she said

- Assu, I understand your point of view but you will have to understand me too. It's just that there's so much money at stake... really can't let it go. So I'm giving you one last chance to catch up. Easy, just drink the contents of this glass. Afterwards, we forget everything and start from scratch. I have been told that this liquid represents who I really am deep inside. Besides, it comes straight from the heart of the dungeon, so if you drink it and swear loyalty to me, then everything will end well.

Hella's words annoyed Assu who, without response, raised his weapon in the air, clutching it tightly, preparing to attack before pronouncing

- As if I, the big Assu, could be afraid of a stupid human (human) female. Disappear!

Assu's hammer shone with a whitish luster and gave off successive waves. With all his strength, he didn't hesitate for a second to bring down his hammer on Hella who hadn't moved an inch, yet seeing the hammer just above her head.

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMM"

Was the terrible noise that everyone heard in the room. The shock wave spread throughout the room under the shocked gaze of each other. Shock, not from the attack but rather from the effect produced because the noise came from the earth which was broken under Hella's feet while the latter was still standing in front of Assu.

But what really shocked everyone was that Hella had stopped the hammer with one hand. Assu himself was shocked, but not that his attack was stopped, but rather that all of his mana and physical strength were gone just as his hammer was about to hit Hella. So he takes a few steps back when hella says

- You're probably wondering what happened. Stupid as you are, you're not likely to hit the thing so listen carefully. You see the machine its adventurers brought here for you, well it was I who stopped it by sealing its power. Just as I sealed it, I can also unseal it, which had the effect of reducing you to ten percent of your strength.

Indeed, the adventurers' anti-monster machine had suddenly started up when it had previously turned off during the adventurers' and insured's fight.

- But that doesn't explain my loss of strength.

- Ah yes, well it's your fault. You should have protected yourself from my mana earlier when I deployed them. Because I'm able to seal anything inside or touched by my mana. Otherwise, I have sealed all your magic but also physical strength. Reduced to ten percent strength, deprived of your magical power, your physical strength was all you should have left but since I also sealed it, you shouldn't be stronger than a simple goblin or even a pathetic slime . Such is the power of my unique skill: sealing and unsealing.

All the anger Assu felt had disappeared giving way to a fear that almost made him tremble. Hella continued advancing towards him

- If my left pupil allows you to petrify everything that is alive, the right one, which contains a cursed eye, is a perceptual capacity that tells me almost everything about my opponent's physique and that's why I know that currently, your strength is so thin that you can't even beat a simple goblin anymore, hm haha ​​that's ironic for a final tier boss. I can still go on humiliating you but I'm not enjoying it enough so let's get this over with.

Hella brings up her inventory which manifests as a large cabinet behind her. She called the name of a weapon

- the dimension dagger forgotten!

Which appears directly in his right hand. The inventory disappeared. The dagger she had summoned also gave off a very dark and gloomy mana. Assu quickly recognized the weapon in question.

- What is Master Amon's dagger doing here? And this inventory was also his!

- Yeah, he gave it to me as a welcome gift. I don't know how to use all the weapons there yet, but I had the opportunity to test a few and I can tell you that it's not junk. This is your last chance, Assu. Bow down!

Assu stared at Hella. The pride that inhabited her had disappeared. He lowered his head then raised it and looked at these subordinates who were just at the corner of the room staring at the scene with terror in their bellies. Seeing their eyes on him, Assu regained his passion. He started shouting loudly all over the room as if to show that he was still the only leader of the place.

- Never! Never! Never, I will be the subordinate of a female and even less a humn (human).

He threw his hammer to the ground before attacking Hella with his bare hands, trying to punch her. As for Hella, She raised her right hand to the sky before throwing her dagger nine times in the air.

Immediately, the arm in front of Assu was cut clean and the rest of his body received the same treatment. His entire body was sliced ​​into nine separate pieces causing red blood to spurt everywhere. The pieces of the body of the animals, come fallen in the puddle of blood forming under his feet.

The ogre's blood was splattered on the protective barrier of Hella who took the opportunity to take some of this blood with a finger and put it on his lip before turning to the other creatures in the room, one hand on the hip and the other stretched out by indexing them, to then proclaim

- I would be without pity towards all my enemies. Let that be a lesson to you.

Lust, Ralph and all the other ogres in the room were just unable to hide their fears upon seeing this most shocking scene.

When she was done with Assu, Hella walked over to Ralph. But the vision that Ralph had of her was as follows: a monster whose green and red pupils shone in the depths of the darkness which surrounded her and which emerged from her person.

Even if he wanted to, Ralph couldn't run away and he knew it very well, hence the fact that he just stood still. Hella approached him and came to squat next to him again saying

- Sorry to keep you waiting! I had to take care of a few small details first, otherwise where were we? Ah yes I had to grant you a wish so go ahead I'm listening.

Ralph stared at Hella before sighing.

- If I wasn't already in despair, I think I'd be scared to death right now!

- I would have liked to ask you lots of questions about the outside of the dungeon but I don't have time today so go ahead, decide quickly.

- If you really grant me a wish, then spare Celestine! Let the comeback alive.

- That's impossible! Look at...

When Ralph looked at where Celestine was, he saw no one. Celestine had taken advantage of Hella and Assu's fight to escape thanks to the care provided by André earlier.

- She took your girlfriend away and therefore I can't do anything for her. I still feel her presence, she hasn't left the dungeon yet.

- So please let her go.

- I love this devotion and heroism in a man. That courage to always stay true and hold your head up in the face of adversity and danger is just beautiful and exciting. Bravo Ralph you will survive! You will survive for your courage but also because I have decided so. But that said, you will forget even my existence.

- I see! You are going to erase my memory. It's understandable but first, please, I would like to know one thing... who are you exactly?

- All right! My name is Hella and I am Amon's replacement and also the new mistress of Amon's dungeon which should normally be called "Hella's dungeon" from now on.

- Obviously! Ha ha ha ha ha

At this statement, Ralph laughed with an expression of infinite sadness. Tears streamed from his eyes. Hella looked at him ruefully before asking Lust to erase his memory and send him out of the dungeon. Lust, still terrified, answered

- Yes!

Celestine, who had managed to flee, was still on the loose in the dungeon. She was bleeding and moving slowly. She walked without looking back until she saw a light at the end of the corridor she was walking.

She ran towards the light with great hope of finding the exit door but to her surprise, she found herself in another room of the dungeon where several corridors met. She broke down in tears

- No no no it's not possible! I lost myself .

She said when the hallway door closed behind her. She ran to the door and kicked the gates unsuccessfully before noticing footsteps coming from other hallways. She pulled out a dagger she was hiding and got into a fighting stance.

Corridors, coming out one by one, goblins who were quite happy with their little ambush. They were screaming and jumping like children in front of the ice cream vendor. They were very numerous and without wasting time, ten goblins armed with spears and knives rushed to their holds with saliva flowing from their mouths.

- With this dagger, I can't use but fencing techniques but that said...

She used her speed to slit the throats of the first and second goblin, then followed up with a flip and slit the third one as well. She countered the attacks of the others by moving fast and killing all seven of them in an instant without them being able to react.

- I may be weakened but little goblins will never get me. One of his paths must necessarily lead outside. I just have to find out which one. No, no time, I'm seriously injured so better go for it.

She launched an attack right on one of the tunnels borrowed by the goblins. But she was well awaited by these deniers who all attacked her at the same time. That's more than fifty goblins. Some threw spears and arrows at her which she dodged and others went straight ahead. Using her speed, Elle easily killed another dozen or so before taking an arrow in the thigh.

She removed the arrow and found that it was poisoned. Dizziness started to make her already feel that she was seriously injured and had lost a lot of blood, so the situation was going from bad to worse. But she still continued to beat and slaughter the goblins that came in contact until she took another arrow in the back, then in the hip and shoulder. Besides, they were all poison arrows.

With all her poisons, her movement was even slower and she ended up violently taking a spear in the stomach, which made her collapse on the ground. She dropped her dagger and was vomiting blood. Unable to move or defend herself, she found herself totally at the mercy of her opponents who were well aware of it.

Goblins surrounded him before pulling out ropes to tie his limbs one by one. She tried to struggle and escape this but, in her condition, she couldn't do anything and ended up with all four limbs chained by ropes.

- Rhaaaaaa let go of the dirt band. You know who i am? I will slaughter you all. Damn, Ralph, Linale...where did you all go? I'm telling you to get rid of miserable filth of disgusting critter.

Celestine's screams and resistance seemed to amuse the goblins. They tied a rope to his right hand, one to his left hand and did the same with his legs before pulling them apart. She kept crying and begging for her life when she saw the vicious looks and wide smiles of the monsters who laughed at her.

- Pity arrested! I will not do it again. I will never set foot in a dungeon again. I apologize for your friends. I didn't want to kill them. Pardon! Pardon! Pardon! I beg you for help...Ralph, linale...please stopeeeeeeee! Help!!!! Dad!!!!!!!!! Mom!!!! I don't want to die...here.

She screamed, crying all the tears in her body. The goblins snatched all his equipment with such barbarity to expose him before throwing himself on her who was totally at their mercy. The words of the young woman were spreading in the corridors of the dungeon to disappear little by little like a breeze of wind. As she continued to struggle despite being abused and raped by lawless monsters.
