Chapter 192 - 8

Outside the dungeon, the priest stood behind Ashley who hesitantly looked at the creepy dungeon entrance.

The villagers didn't let Sia go. Only after Ashley returned would they think about it.

The brown-haired, green-eyed girl was wearing white clothes for the occasion as she had been told about a 'holy rite.'

Although she had come here, she didn't know what to do. Father Noah only told her to wait but for how long?

Just as Ashley was about to look back, she saw a tall humanoid silhouette. As the person came closer, she was mesmerized by his appearance.

S-So handsome!

Changing his appearance, Jake was using Bewitching Eyes on her, of course.

When he arrived in front of her, the girl darted her eyes, blushing. She seemed to have forgotten why she had come here in the first place.

As she hadn't encountered any monsters in Redwoods, her sense of danger was lowered.

"I am the Lord's servant, let me lead you to Him." Jake suddenly touched Ashley's head and turned around. His actions meant he wanted the girl to follow him.

She caught the gesture and moved. At the mouth of the dungeon, Ashley turned back to look at Father Noah who was smiling gently. He was like a friendly teacher encouraging his student to enter the examination hall.

Hiss…Hiss…

"Hiya! S-Snakes!"

The girl quickly stumbled back as her legs trembled, her breaths heavy. Any normal villager would have this reaction.

At this moment, it was Jake's turn to act.

"Evil, begone!" said the demon disguised as an apostle. No holy light came out of Jake's hand, but the wine snakes obeyed the Dungeon Master.

They all scattered in different directions and stopped hissing. Ashley marveled at this miracle. So it was true!

"Fear not, dear maiden. The Lord awaits you." Jake put his hands behind his back, and walked to the staircase leading to the second floor. She couldn't see his evil smile.

On the second floor, their footsteps echoed until the end of the tunnels. It was dark and cold. The girl couldn't help but stay close to this mysterious guide.

She looked around. So this was a dungeon… It scared her. What evil lay in this place? Why did her parents urge her to come here?

Ashely actually hated her mother for this. As for her father, he was always busy and never spent much time with her. She didn't know whether to hate or love him.

"We're here." Jake stopped outside a chamber.

This was his newly renovated 'Fuck Room.' However, for Ashley, this was a holy and sacred place where the Lord might be fighting against the forces of evil.

"Go inside, pure maiden." Jake spread his hands and stepped to the side.

Ashely moved her legs and stepped inside the chamber. Behind the girl, Jake focused his gaze on her bottom.

With lazy steps, he also entered the fuck room.

[Ding! You have equipped the title "Lustful Demon." Females within a 10 meter radius of you will be aroused.]

Immediately, Ashley felt that something wasn't right. Why was there a bed with a red bedding on it? Who placed the chairs here? The large mirror, these weird clothes hanging on the wall…

"Kya~" She squeezed her breasts and crouched down. Her… that thing felt really itchy suddenly.

"Young maiden, what are you doing?" Jake asked from behind.

"No, I'm jusー" Doing shameful acts, Ashely tried to explain herself.

However, she suddenly froze when Jake's appearance changed. He didn't didn't revert back to his true form. Instead, he took the appearance of Lonard, the carpenter.

"F-Father?!" Ashley was too confused.

She stumbled backwards. Hitting the bed's edge, she suddenly fell on her butt.

Ashley desparately tried not to rub her clit. She pressed her legs together and Jake could see the shape of her lower body, her ass and thighs. Oh the tender pussy hidden under the white cloth.

"What is happening to me?" Ashely squirted a little.

"Mnnー" She covered her mouth.

Jake slowly undressed himself while looking at her. First he removed his exaggerated white, gold-embroidered robe which cost him 150 Evil Points. Then, he slid his cotton pants down, letting her see his thick meaty dick.

"F-Father, w-what are yoー"

"Ashely, my daughter." Jake came closer, held her chin, and stared at her using Bewitching Eyes again.

"Call me daddy."

The girl couldn't hold back the lust coursing through her body. She held her supposed father's dick and opened her salivating mouth wide.

"Dadd….Ymffgrhh! Mmffgh! Mnrrmm… Slurp… Slurp…"

Jake plugged her mouth with his fat cock and started fucking her soft lips.

[Ding! You have committed a lustful sin. You gain 26 Evil Points!]

[Ding! You have committed a lustful sin. You gain 18 Evil Poi…]

[Ding! You have committed a lustful sin. You gain 11…]

As Jake had already turned off the notifications, they did not bother him. Instead, he could enjoy the village girl giving him blowjobs. After being fully affected by his title, she started moving her head herself and he just sat on the bed.

She didn't have any particular techniques to maximize the pleasure, but that was okay. Ashley was beautiful compared to other village girls. Most of the girls in villages were not pretty. However, they had a charm that no other women could replicate. It was the innocence, how easily they trust others.

Slurp…Slurp…

Jake stood up, grabbed the girl's ponytail and came in her mouth. He then patted her head as she looked at him with delighted eyes.

"Good girl." Jake pulled out from her mouth.

"D-Daddy's cum tastes good…" she gulped.

"More things will taste good." Jake made her standup and started undressing her.

The lust-driven Ashley was, however, impatient and hugged Jake. She didn't care even if she were to do it with her father. Ashley just wanted the itch in her pussy to go away.

Seeing her breathing heavily and already moaning in his ears, Jake was amused. Sometimes, his title did wondrous things. After he undressed Ashley, he threw her on the bed and spread her legs as she purred in delight.

Ashley rubbed herself while biting her lower lips. Jake could see her medium-sized breast, her tender girly thighs and her virgin pussy. He bent down and stroked her legs until he reached her pink flower, which had some bushes covering it.

Bringing his lips closer, he kissed and licked it. Immediately after, his tongue forced its way in and a goosebump ran through Ashley's body.

"Daddy, Annh~" She touched Jake's head, considering him to be her father. At this moment, Ashley's mind was not working properly.

In her psyche, she had been feeling that her father did not love her. He always cared about only his work and never spared her any time. It made her feel distant and now, when he started doing this, Ashley felt loved. Here, the concept of 'love' was distorted in her mind and she didn't know what she was doing.

"Ngghhh, daddy it feels aanhh~ so… good~" Ashley's eyes became misty and she cummed.

Jake's licking techniques had gotten way better. After he finished lubricating her tight insides, he was ready to fuck her.

"But first, suck it again." Jake opened her naughty mouth and inserted his dick. Holding her head, he moved his hips until his dick was fully wet by her saliva.

Ashley took a deep breath as Jake pulled out. However, she again gasped when she felt her daddy's tip touching her little sister.

Placing his hands on Ashley's soft thighs, Jake split her pussy with his rod.

"Aaannhhh!" she cried as her hymen broke.

Jake brought her two legs together and bent them until her thighs touched her belly. Looking at her round figure with his dick inside her center hole, Jake pushed deeper.

"A-annhh~ Ah~ Ah~" Ashley felt it.

With her daddy's thick cock inside her, ravaging her dirty cunt… She felt pain and pleasure at once. Ashley didn't know why, but she liked the pain more than the pleasure. Or rather, the pain was pleasure itself for her!

"More, Annhh~ Fuck me more daddy!"

Even Jake had to pause here for a moment. He did not expect this. However, if she wanted it, then why would he stop? He spread her legs more and went deeper.

Pah! Pahh!

"Yes, daddy! Annhhh~ There~"

The lustful air in the room vibrated with Ashley's crazed moans and the clapping sound made by Jake's balls. Ashley clutched the red bedsheets while her daddy smacked her pussy.

Compared to the cautious girl from earlier, she was way different. Jake gripped her hips and ripped her pussy rhythmically. The pain during her first time made Ashley moan in pleasure. Today, Jake had unlocked her masochist side, which she never knew she had.

"Annh~" She looked at Jake's face and suddenly looked confused. However, she again started moaning as Jake hammered her.

He had stopped using Lonard's appearance. Now in his true from, he wanted to see Ashley's face while fucking her. However, she had minimal changes to her character.

"Spank me daddy! Annhhh~" Ashley instead stretched out her tongue, feeling Jake's thick cock going in and out of her tight region.

Now she didn't recognize who was who. The only thing she knew was that this man drilling her in a missionary position was her daddy. When his fat cock dominated her, when his balls slapped her wet pussy, when he became rough… She moaned, louder than ever.

Jake suddenly pulled out just as she was about to orgasm. He carried her to a chair and made her sit on it. Not the usual way, but in a position where she had to hug the back rest, hanging her ass out.

Slap!

A crisp sound echoed as Jake slapped her left buttock. Spreading her vulva, he slipped his dick inside her tight, wet cunt. Going deep until his pink glans touched her womb.

"Annnhh!" Ashley turned her head and Jake gave her his thumb to suck.

"Daddy… Annhh~ Aaannnh!"

Jake's hard rod made slick sounds as it entered and re-entered her cum-sucking, tight slit. Her canal exerted pressure from all sides whenever he spanked her.

Pahh! Pah! Pahhh!

Her bubble butt trembled with the force of his thrusts. Squeezing her breasts with one hand and pulling her hair by the other, Jake moved his abdomen, pounding her hard.

"Yeess, Annhh! Annh!"

Once a virgin girl going through the frustration of being a teenager. Now a naughty girl who wanted more and more of her daddy's long meat stick. Ashley's change would shock to any villager.

Phuk…Phak…Phuk… Jake ripped her clit and crisply smacked it with his balls. He pulled her soft wheat-colored ass, spread it with both hands and saw how they jiggled when his dick went all in.

Pah! Juices dripped from Ashley's wet cunt. Jake was feeling damn good while fucking her.

He carried her back to the bed and sat on her bouncy teenage ass. Pressing her upper body on the soft bedding, Jake wildly moved his lower body.

Pahh! Pah! Pahh! Pahh! Pah…

"Annhh! Anhhh! Annnhhh!" Ashley repeatedly moaned as she felt Jake's cock hitting her womb every time.

'Good… Ah…' Jake plowed her virgin pussy and felt like cumming.

However, he didn't cum and instead pulled out. Immediately, he inserted it into her upper hole.

Ashley looked in surprise. When she felt a thick cock spreading her asshole, her first instinct was to move around. However, it felt… good…

"Annhh~ Daddy!" Jake pulled her waist and made her adopt a doggy position. He then came in her ass and started fucking her again.

Paht! Pahh! Phukh…Phukk…

The system's notifications kept accumulating on the logs as Jake pounded her ass.

Orlando, Karsuda province's capital.

While Jake's cult plan was going great, Alex was sitting inside the city's adventurer's guild house surrounded by at least ten people.

He had sold everything he had – his properties in Orlando, his years of saving as an adventurer, and his backup gear. All to buy mana crystals. He had even called all his friends and begged them.

Now he had 89 high-grade mana crystals. However, he knew that wasn't enough. The demon had told him to bring at least 100.

So, Alex was here at the adventurer's guild to make rich adventurers join his quest. However, the people surrounding him were no higher than E-Rank.

"You mean to say that your friends are trapped in that new dungeon?" One adventurer asked. He was a bald fellow wearing old iron-plate armor.

"Which one?" A new guy asked.

"The one we heard about a month ago… It's in Redwoods, ain't it?"

The people chattered as Alex held his head with his hands, looking distressed. When they quieted down a little, he said, "I have also issued a quest if anyone wants to look. There is a treasure in the place where my friends are trapped but it requires a lot of mana crystals. If you guys help me out, our Red Eagles party will owe you the rewards of a D-Rank quest."

What Alex was saying was of course false. He even ommitted the part about there being a terrifying demon in the dungeon who could easily defeat E-Rank Adventurers.

"Aye lad, I'll help you." The bald fellow from earlier couldn't see a bright young man in such a state.

With Gilter, the guild house's number one alcoholic agreeing, quite a few decided to look at what type of quest this mage had issued.

Among them, one lone beastkin adventurer of the cat race looked at the quest board. She was new to a big city like Orlando.

Leaving her tribe after turning 16, she was required to mingle with humans and come back four years later. If she didn't have any accomplishments, she would be kicked out of the tribe.

That was how her cat shifter tribe worked and every member went through this. Amelia Vornenstien chose to be an adventurer. This job of saving trapped adventurers paid well, 20 mid-grade mana crystals…

"Interested?" She heard a voice and turning around, she saw a beautiful and busty woman who looked to be in her early twenties.

The woman was wearing yellowish-green clothes and holding a long magic staff. She had a regal aura about her. Her blonde hair, clear green eyes, pointy nose and ears stood out among the crowd. Her presence drew everyone's attention, and they couldn't help gulp seeing the yellow badge on her oversized chest.

An elf and a C-Rank adventurer at that!

"Who are you?" Unlike others, Amelia was not deterred at all. As a beastkin, she was straightforward and brave.

"My name is Irene, nice to meet you." The busty elf stretched her hands out and said, "Let's complete this quest together."

Alex noticed that and thought he might die any second now. That demon had told him to not bring any high-ranking adventurers or the worm will eat him. However, even after minutes passed, nothing happened.

Alex realized that he hadn't explicitly invited that elvish adventurer. She had volunteered herself, so that didn't count.

He stood up from his seat and met with Irene who spoke extremely slowly. Her every word seemed to hold more than one meaning. When Alex asked her why she wanted to take this quest, she just replied that she was interested in the treasure inside the dungeon's trap.

As a 3rd Circle mage, Irene had quite a few mana crystals to spare. She wasn't scared of losing mana crystals, because from her experience she had learned one thing. Where there is a greater loss, there is a greater reward as well.

With a C-Rank adventurer joining, some D-Rankers joined as well.

The topic of the new dungeon has been going around in Orlando for a while. As it had been more than a month, veteran adventurers thought it was time to give it a try.

Rather than letting the count's knights loot the dungeon's resources in the name of saving the surrounding villages, they should clear it out themselves.

A party of 20 adventurers was formed and leading them was Irene, of course. They made a plan to head out tomorrow morning for Redwoods which was 3 days away from here.

Alex was speechless for a while before a joyous smile appeared on his face. He had thought about sacrificing others to save his teammates. But now, it was possible to kill that demon!

However, Alex didn't know how much the dungeon was going to change in just four days…

Outside the dungeon, Father Noah met with Ashley who was back to being prim and proper. She was wearing her white maiden robes and standing beside Jake who didn't bother to change his appearance now.

"The holy rite is over, you may take her." Jake pushed Ashley who walked forward with wobbly steps.

"Praise the Lord!" the priest recited and looked at the girl.

Ashley also touched her shoulders and her face where dark marks flickered for a second. She then opened her mouth and said, "Praise daddy!"

Jake chuckled as even the Dark Priest looked confused. He had corrupted Ashley but her daddy syndrome didn't go away. He let her be.

"I shall bring more maidens tomorrow, my Lord." Noah bowed and turned around after Jake permitted.

Ashley left while muttering 'daddy' to herself. She was a special case whom Jake planned to take. However, she had to present herself to the villagers first or his plan would fail.

He knew Alex would bring adventurers and the villagers should continue their daily lives normally for the time being.

At the fifth floor, Jake sat in the middle of an Orc settlement. On his chair, his legs being massaged by muscular orc women.

He would've fucked them but uh… their physiques weren't to his liking. They were better as massage servants rather than bed servants.

Jake crossed his legs and adjusted his sitting position. He had gotten exactly 3887 points from Ashley, a huge number because he took her virginity, anal and everything else at once.

500 extra points were given out from the Sin of Greed for this. It wasn't much, but as long as he stole the virginity of more village girls, the number would increase.

The priests from other villages were slow and didn't bring anyone today. If they delayed further, Jake would have to go there himself.

Currently, he was thinking what to do with these points. Should he buy defense items for the dungeon? Maybe mana crystals? How about increasing his attributes?

'I'll just store it for now and stack points to buy something big.' Jake decided.

He then stood up from his chair and headed back to the seventh floor, where he had fun with Rose and Elena again.

The very next day, Lena informed him of humans outside the dungeon. All three Dark Priests had brought their 'pure maidens.'

Six girls at once… His point farming was just starting.

"Anhhh!"

"Mnnh~"

The moans of the girls kept filling the fuck room. Jake was having immense pleasure collecting evil points from the girls. Spanking their asses, fucking their pussies, sucking their breasts… He tried everything he knew and took the purity of these village girls.

However, he eventually got bored with them and wanted new babes to play with. These girls were timid and subservient. He wanted someone troublesome or someone openly lustful. Fucking them would be rather fun…

Pah…Pah…Pahh…

"Aa-aannhh! Uannhhh!" The girl leaning on the wall cried as Jake nailed her from behind. Her legs went weak as Jake hammered more and she couldn't even stand up properly.

He brought her to a bed and kept fucking her. She grabbed a pillow and squirted. Her mind was spinning. How many times had she done it? She couldn't feel anything other than a thick, hot rod railing her pussy.

"Hah… Ha…" Prena gasped as Jake finally pulled out.

Looking at the totally exhausted girl, Jake sighed. It had only been like 20 minutes.

'Did I go too rough on her?' Jake casually pulled a nearby girl and made her suck his cock.

After cumming in her mouth, he told all the girls to clean up and rest for some time. After that, they could leave with their respective priests.

Jake dressed himself and went outside. Three days had already passed. Adding today's gains, he had amassed a whooping 47,103 Evil Points during these peaceful times.

He was tempted to save up to 100 thousand and unlock another sin. However, he knew his dungeon needed to be expanded. Jake was also planning to advance himself to the Third Circle, but he didn't know if the points would be enough for everything.

Jake descended the stairs while looking at the creatures and structure in his dungeon. At present, extensive areas and labyrinthine tunnels were missing. Just about anyone could find their way to the lower floors. Jake didn't want that.

Reaching the seventh floor, he went straight to his room and sat on his chair. Rose brought him some tea and reported that the newly made kitchen was lacking things.

"I'll handle it in a while," Jake said.

Along with her, Riri, Elena, and Niru had become his maids. His loyal servants who would take care of the daily chores in his dungeon. Diana and Vin had become his personal bodyguards. If Jake ever went outside, they would also follow.

Yunna and Lena managed the dungeon monsters and Perry kept a record of things like mana crystals, traps, dungeon management, etc. As for Erin, she was keeping things check in the surrounding villages with her blood slaves.

As a 2nd Circle Vampire, she could make ten unranked slaves by giving them some part of her vampire essence. Any more and it would affect her powers.

After Jake assigned them the roles in the dungeon, everything became systematic. Now he just wanted to make it a tier 1 dungeon. He knew exactly what he needed to do for that.

'Alright, let's buy some mana crystals first.' Jake stood up and headed outside his room.

Once he decided, Jake acted swiftly. He knew the mage would also bring crystals but there was no such thing as having more mana. Increasing the tier of his dungeon would mean improving its security and size. Why should he wait for it when he could do it right now?

Jake called all of his girls, except Erin, and gathered them at the core chamber. Lena fluttered around the dungeon core as she excitedly looked at her master weirdly pointing at the air in front of him. She knew what he was trying to do.

"And… there," Jake said and purchased 30 high-grade mana crystals using 15,000 Evil Points.

A dense aura of mana immediately attracted everyone when the crystals suddenly dropped out of thin air. It was so concentrated that the nearby dungeon core reacted on its own and started sucking the mana.

Those who knew about his ability to make things randomly appear weren't surprised. However, others like Niru or Elena were completely speechless.

"Master, how many crystals are these?" Lena asked at this moment. As the dungeon core was sucking the mana, a few had already disappeared. She couldn't count in time.

"Thirty." Just as Jake answered, everyone heard a rumble.

The dungeon core brightly glowed and spread a thicker mana to the surroundings. The floors of the dungeon started becoming large.

Jake and Lena could clearly see what was happening.

"I-It's expanding, master!" the dungeon fairy exclaimed.

At the Cherrylife village. Erin, who was sucking blood from a sleeping child, suddenly sensed one of her blood slaves.

Leaving the child's neck, she licked her lips and turned into a bat. She went from the living room to another room where sunlight couldn't reach. There, she met with her slave who informed her of the recent happening within the village.

"Huh, Adventurers? What's their rank?" Erin asked.

"M-Most of them seem to be E-Ranked… There is one C-Rank mage as well. I feared I would be exposed, so I didn't get close to that woman," The slave woman replied.

'A C-Rank mage?!' Erin was alarmed. 'It has to be someone at the 3rd Circle, I have to inform the master about them!'

Erin quickly draped her black cloak. However, before she headed out, she suddenly bit her slave's neck and retracted her vampire essence.

This caused the slave's body to turn into a pool of blood. Once bitten by a vampire, a person's entire cells would restructure. Without a mana core or any type of divine power to sustain what the vampire essence held, the dead body would just decompose.

Erin immediately left after killing her slave. She felt nothing doing that. Erin had already lost her humanity long ago and humans were nothing more than prey in her eyes.

Quickly leaving the child's house, Erin called all her slaves and took back her essence. She knew a battle was coming soon and wanted to be in her best state. Having all of her essence with her meant her combat power would be at the highest.

She was doing all this so that she could protect her master. Leaving the Cherrylife village, Erin headed straight towards the dungeon. She would have checked out the adventurers first but just like her dead servant, Erin was wary of that elf's powers. A mage had many spells to locate nearby evil creatures.

Erin had no choice but to take whatever info her slaves had given her and inform Jake. However, when she reached the dungeon, she suddenly noticed that the cave entrance was broken. It had now become a giant hole in the ground. A much denser mana was coming out of it.

She could see the same stairs which led to the first floors, but they were longer and bigger now. When she stepped inside, she felt a sense of danger despite having stayed there.

Reaching the first floor, Erin couldn't recognize the dungeon. Where was the staircase leading to the second floor? This place was a huge empty area with green glowing mosses… Even the snakes had disappeared.

'This… did he upgrade the dungeon?' Erin thought. 

"Oh, you're here. Go to the left tunnel and follow my instructions to descend. We have a lot of work to do." Her master's voice rang in Erin's left ear.

On the seventh floor, Jake stood in the place where the dungeon core used to be. The core had dissolved and formed in the lowest floor.

"Now we have 18 floors, master. It's finally a 1st tier dungeon!" Lena cheered.

The surrounding women marveled at this miraculous scene. They had witnessed the expansion of a dungeon. Every floor was five times as deep and large as it was before!

This meant, Jake's dungeon had gotten huge. A lot of monsters could fit in here. Not only that, as the lower floor would be larger than its adjacent upper floor, this dungeon's 18th floor was the largest.

Actually, it alone took 20% space of the entire dungeon.

After telling Erin the routes she could take to descend to the lower floors, Jake turned to the women around and started ordering.

"Yunna and Lena, you know what to do. Go check the monsters. Don't move them yet. Vin, follow them to reach the upper floors and meet up with Erin."

Jake then looked at the mother and daughter. "Rose and Niru, go to my room and see how much it has changed."

"Riri, go check the hot spring with Diana."

After giving out all these orders, Jake turned to his Dark Priestess and started walking. "Head with me to the 18th floor to find the dungeon core."

As Jake and Perry walked through the dark corridors, they noticed many small mana crystals embedded on the walls which glowed with the light of magic. There was not a single creature in this place other than the two of them.

Being the Dungeon Master, Jake could sense the core. He also knew his way around the floors. Perry herself would have gotten lost.

Tak…Tak…

Their footsteps resounded in the place. Jake noticed how big just this floor had become. All monsters of the first four floors could fit here. It had many tunnels and chambers. Jake actually couldn't count all of them.

Each floor had layers and seemed more like a beehive now, except for the expansive areas. Troublesome monsters could appear out of nowhere in such a place.

Suddenly, Perry noticed something and ran ahead. She quickly pointed to a chamber and said, " Some wind is coming out from this place."

Jake frowned and went closer to where Perry pointed. He touched the wall and closed his eyes. Tracing the route from which this wind came, Jake found out that there was another place where he could exit the dungeon.

It was much farther than the cave entrance and actually reached the outskirts of Senesten village. That went to show how large his dungeon had really become.

Most of the Redwoods forest's underground was now his territory. The dungeon had expanded itself to take all the surrounding valley. If it reached the 2nd tier, it would swallow the villages as well!

Some time later, Jake heard Erin's voice in his ear. She sounded extremely serious.

"Master, I've met with the dungeon fairy. There is an urgent matter."

"Hmm?" Jake felt like he knew what she was going to say.

"Adventurers have arrived in Cherrylife. They are twenty, fully armed and ready. Among them, 6 are D-Rank and the rest E and F-Rank except for one elf."

Jake paused. He and Perry were on the 11th floor now. He expected that mage to bring adventurers but didn't think that a party this strong would arrive. Alex himself could have never enticed them…

"That elf is a C-Rank mage. I'm very sure that she's of the 3rd Circle at least." Erin sounded worried.

Her master had just expanded the dungeon, and things were chaotic. How could they deal with the attack of the coming adventurers?

"For now, keep two goblins at the dungeon entrance. Tell Lena to monitor them. They would stand as guards. You go outside again and confirm when they will come!" Jake's eyes had a sharp glow.

'Third circle… I should hurry,' He thought and suddenly lifted Perry in a princess carry. She uttered a surprised cry and wrapped her arms around his neck.

"At this rate, we'll be late," Jake said and used [Phantom Steps] to increase his speed.

Whoosh!

He went by the shortest route to reach the dungeon core.

In the evening, at the Cherrylife village. The temporary party of 20 adventurers stayed in Abett Inn. It was a team of 7 women and 13 men. Seeing such a large group enter their place, the innkeeper and his wife did their best to please them.

Those rank badges on their chests looked intimidating. Since when did D-Rank adventurers become so common in their small village? Also, that beautiful elf… The innkeeper gulped when his wife wasn't looking.

The surrounding guys were silent. Usually, they would hit up any beauty they saw. However, this elvish hottie's rank was C-Rank. She was the sexiest woman they had ever seen, but she was way out of their league.

Heck, even that armored girl was at D-Rank. Also, look at the curves of that ranger…

"Whatcha starin at, ya punks?" A ripped guy wearing gauntlets stood up. He had noticed these F-Rank losers giving Anna and Meryl dirty looks.

"Leave it, fighter. You shouldn't bully those ranked lower than you," An old dwarf said. "We should save energy for tomorrow."

Among the guys who had been checking out the girls, one slowly stood up and left inconspicuously. The young man walked a considerable distance before entering his house and shutting the door.

He then immediately got on one knee and reported to the bat flying overhead.

"They will go to the dungeon tomorrow. Master, can I bite a huma-"

"Good, your job is done." Erin suddenly transformed and bit his neck.

"Aaaaaahh!" Fresh blood splattered on her face as she sucked her essence back, her eyes glowing bright red.

After killing the young man, Erin licked her lips. All the blood disappeared into her body and the glow in her eyes stopped.

'If that's so… then we still have time.'

As the sun had already set, Erin didn't bother to cover her body with a cloak. She walked out of the house whose residents were sweetly sleeping.

Looking back at the inn from which creamy, yellow light leaked, Erin headed to the dungeon again.

Jake and Perry reached the 18th floor. They examined the dungeon core which was thrice as large as before. It had a much denser mana for which any monster here would fight to death.

Jake had bought a new skill called [Dark Vision] after reaching here as it was really dark. However, Perry didn't have such an ability, so he had to light a torch.

As the flame roared to life, consuming the mana of the dungeon, Jake put the torch nearby and turned to Perry.

Suddenly, three high-grade mana crystals appeared in his hands.

"Take these and put them around the dungeon core," Jake ordered.

After Perry did as he said, Jake bit his finger and started walking around. He made a circle of blood through those mana stones.

Moving his finger vertically, Jake made various geometrical shapes and another circle. This one was smaller. He did this until five distinct, bloody lines converged towards the dungeon core.

Jake then became fully naked and stood before the dark red core. A large magic circle was on the floor, created with his demonic blood.

"Master, are you…" Perry guessed what he was going to do.

"This place is perfect for my advancement," Jake said and pulled up his status panel.

Currently, his only one attribute has reached the 300 mark. It's mana. Jake planned to spend a lot of points to increase two of his attributes to meet the criteria.

As long as three attributes were 300 or over, he could advance to the 3rd Circle. And those three were going to be strength, mana, and intelligence.

Jake spent 15,500 points to increase his strength and intelligence.

Three system notifications immediately rang in his head.

[Ding! Your strength has increased! 215→300]

[Ding! Your intelligence has increased! 230→300]

[Congratulations! Three of your attributes have reached 300. To advance, please prepare a demonic advancement magic circle. Ritual specifics…]

As Jake had already made a magic circle for himself. He could directly proceed with the ritual chant which was written in the system. It was written exactly as what he knew from his memories.

"Horca Fren La…" Jake nearly stuttered while chanting.

That word or whatever was too difficult to recite. No wonder it was demon tongue. As Jake chanted more, Perry covered her ears as she started feeling dizzy. Despite being corrupted, she felt uneasy hearing those words. If it was a normal human, they would have already fainted.

When Jake chanted one specific word, the dungeon core suddenly pulsated. The bloody magic circle glowed red and the surrounding evil mana stirred. Perry, who was outside of the magic circle, went further backward to not interrupt her master.

Jake started feeling his mana core sucking the evil mana which the dungeon core provided. It was the medium to provide evil mana in this world. If he advanced in Hell, he wouldn't have to make an anchor out of a dungeon core.

"Lee Nix Credanta… Saah…" His voice turned louder and louder. Jake's horns suddenly glowed and black demonic marks appeared on his back.

An evil voice burst out in the air. It sometimes sounded like laughing, sometimes depressed and crying. A malefic air flowed inside the core chamber. Jake's eyes glowed red at this moment as a terrifying evil presence burst out of him.

His blood and flesh restructured, his muscles became more compact and less bulky. Perry watched as her huge master transformed into being lean. His every muscle now seemed to have an aesthetic charm. Even his face had changed. Previously, he looked scary, but now he was rather handsome.

Jake's entire body gained demonic marks, and they had an evil red glow about them. Slowly, the marks converged towards his forehead and disappeared. Jake finished chanting and heard a system notification.

[Ding! Congratulations on advancing to the 3rd Circle. Do you want to view the status panel?]

"Yes," Jake said.

As he saw his title, he found out that he was a Demon Viscount now. Probably the weakest viscount… but still one. His attributes were the same as before, but he seemed to have gained two new skills. Jake clicked them and was surprised.

[Skill: Craving Touch (Sin-Specific – Lust)]

[Grade: Unique (High)]

[Level: 1]

[Usage Cost: 75 mana /use]

[Requirements: INT 250+, Will 250+]

[Description: Steal any skill of someone one rank lower than you.]

These were powerful skills but the usage cost made him pause. He couldn't use these skills over 4-5 times at once. They instantly became his trump cards. However, checking his attributes again, Jake realized he couldn't use [Craving Touch] for the time being.

His charisma was lacking. Jake didn't use his points to increase it though. He had urgent uses for the remaining 13,620 Evil Points.

Jake took out his clothes from the inventory and let Perry dress him. He quickly opened the shop panel and started scrolling from the [Items] section.

Various monsters were priced at the cost of thousands of Evil Points. Jake's choice was something else, however.

[Item: Demon Summoning Scroll]

[Grade: Rare (High)]

[Type: Usable]

[Description: Summons a loyal legion of flying 1st Circle Hell Demons, also known as Imps.]

[Cost: 5,000 Evil Points]

A bronze-red scroll appeared in Jake's hand. Dismissing the system panel, he buttoned his shirt where Perry couldn't reach because of her height.

"Now watch," he said as he donned his large black robe. Perry nodded and stood beside her master while holding her staff.

After he finished dressing up, Jake opened the scroll and imbued his mana into it. Immediately, the characters written in it started glowing, and a red magic circle appeared on the ground before Jake and Perry.
