Chapter 200: Meeting the Messengers (2)

Chrisley, Julliom and I sat next to the Dungeon Core and created the contents of the invitation .

"First, we need to be sure of the purpose for the meeting . ”

Julliom said .

I replied without hesitation .

"On the surface, it is to exchange information about the angels . However . . . since Okullos, all the grand dukes have had an agenda . It is certain for Upa and Pandemonium . I don’t know anything about Ariel but it is likely . Put a phrase to imply that . ”

Pandemonium had taken Okullos’ demons . Upa had made Gustarte his doll . Ariel might be orchestrating things that weren’t obvious . No matter how pure she was, she was still a demon .

“It will be somewhat provocative . ”

"How about using a poem?”

Chrisley commented .

I started laughing .

"I don’t know if the grand dukes have such a elegant hobby . ”

Demons reading poetry . I had never heard or seen it . If it was Ariel, she might have a basic degree of literacy .

“My Dungeon Master . Even so, it would be good to decorate it with poetry . Is the invitation not sent in good faith?”

"That’s right . ”

Rather than good, it is full of evil .

Besides . . . it was to subtly threaten them .

I knew the dungeon locations of the grand dukes . I could only give them the invitation if I knew the locations . That itself was a provocation .

Julliom then spoke .

"If you want them to participate then it is good to mention something like their weaknesses . ”

“Weaknesses . ”

“Emphasize that if they don’t participate, the information might leak to others . It doesn’t have to be big . ”

I didn’t know every detail about the grand dukes . I only knew a few facts from my previous life .

‘I can throw in a few of those facts . ’

I didn’t need big facts .

I nodded .

“I will allow it . ”

“Chrisley and I have discussed the contents . I will write it right in front of you so please give advice . ”

"Understood . ”

I was new to poems . I had never read them . There were few demons with such an elegant hobby .

Before long, Julliom and Chrisley wrote down the contents of the invitation .

Upa .

One of the four major grand dukes who had the title ‘Destroyer . ’

He had decorated his dungeon as a castle and was reigning over it . He didn’t spare any effort to recreate the huge castle ‘Bullenon’ from the Demon World .

Thanks to this, his dungeon always had a dreary atmosphere . The long displays of black armour, paintings and swords that decorate the wall contributed to the atmosphere .

The bloated body and hair that soared into the sky . On the contrary, the pair of eyes looking forward had no sense of companionship .

"The home of a grand duke . What do you think Chrisley?”

Two people were standing in front of Upa .

Chrisley and Oswen!

Both of them came to Upa’s dungeon .

Chrisley nodded slightly . She wasn’t familiar with places like this . On the other hand, Oswen’s body relaxed like he had calmed down .

“Hrmm, I . . . ”

“I am Oswen! We have come here as Grand Duke Randalph Brigsiel’s messengers . ”

“How funny . Grand Duke Randalph Brigsiel . ”

Upa’s expression of dissatisfaction was strong . He was sitting on a huge chair made of bones and looking down at them .

Grrr!

Kiii!

A long red carpet extended down the stairs and there were creatures slobbering all around them . Depending on Upa’s mood, the creatures would bare their teeth .

There were at least over 1,000 and they seemed to be at the advanced level .

In addition, the ambient temperature around Oswen and Chrisley rose sharply . It was so hot that Chrisley’s face became red . Upa’s fingers moved subtly as he controlled the space .

Then Oswen came forward .

"We are messengers . It is our task to hand over Grand Duke Randalph Brigsiel’s invitation . Is Grand Duke Upa afraid of some messengers?”

"What are your justifications? I don’t remember inviting you . Furthermore, Randalph Brigsiel and I have a strictly adversarial relationship . ”

Duk . Duk .

Upa’s hand movements started becoming faster . It was proof that he wasn’t in a good mood . If they made one wrong move here then they could lose their heads .

Oswen couldn’t help but tense up .

"Thank you for meeting us . If there wasn’t a reason then we wouldn’t be standing here now . But I am confident that the invitation we brought is enough to receive us . At the very least, you won’t receive any damage!”

This was a dungeon . They would need to deal with the creatures . No matter how strong Chrisley and Oswen were, there was a limit . Furthermore, in order to reduce the damage as messengers, they needed to contact Upa convincingly .

Upa had questions for them . Randalph Brigsiel has sent some messengers? It wouldn’t hurt to meet them once . His thoughts were up to here .

By the way . . . he wouldn’t let them live after the meeting . Oswen and Chrisley both sensed Upa’s intent .

They could only hope that the invitation saved them . But Oswen was consistent in his attitude .

"Hmm . . . another person receiving an invitation at the same time . I know that you are at war with Ariel . . . ”

Upa tapped his chin a few times .

"I knew he was just quietly waiting for the results but . . . tsk, I’ll see you once . Bring them . ”

Upa had anticipated that there would be a rush to feed on the winner after the war between him and Ariel finished . But he hadn’t imagined that an invitation would be sent the moment the war was paused .

Oswen climbed the stairs with the invitation . He reached midway when a lich popped out and blocked his path .

“What?”

"Invitation . Inspect . ”

It was to check if anything had been done to the invitation . Oswen frowned and handed over the invitation .

The lich used a special mirror and chanted a few spells before nodding and handing the invitation to Upa .

Chwack!

Upa opened the sealed invitation . He quickly started reading the contents .

“ . . . . . . ”

A brief moment of silence .

Oswen and Chrisley watched with casual expressions, but they actually felt like they were walking on eggshells . No matter how confident they were, it was impossible to stop Upa if he wanted their heads . They had very little chances of surviving .

Kwack!

Upa’s face become harder the more he read . Power entered his hands and the invitation was destroyed .

“Randalph Brigsiel . . . !”

Kwaduduk!

Upa gritted my teeth . Like an active volcano was erupting, his red eyes glared at Oswen as he burst out .

"Tell him that I will participate . And . . . I won’t fall for this cheap taunt . Tell Randalph Brigsiel that I will take his head along with Ariel’s!”

Upa turned his head away . It was a declaration that this had ended .

However, the words ‘tell him’ implied that they would leave here alive .

Oswen and Chrisley looked at each other .

Oswen instantly drew a V in the air with his fingers .

The griffin flew over to them .

Chrisley and Oswen climbed on top of it .

"Upa’s personality is just like Dungeon Master said . ”

"It was a fierce confrontation . ”

Chrisley spoke .

The two of them had been roaming the world to extend invitations to the grand dukes . But it wasn’t that easy to meet them . The grand dukes had the strongest dungeons among all the demons . Bringing an invitation didn’t mean they could meet the grand duke .

They had only met Upa so far out of all the grand dukes, but their expressions weren’t that good . They had come to the dungeon as ‘messengers’ and there were many twists and turns before they could meet Upa . There were many opportunities to die .

"He was scary . If it wasn’t for the contents of the invitation, he would have tried to get rid of us . Actually . . . there is someone behind us right now . ”

Upa wasn’t a demon who could pretend to be magnanimous .

He didn’t hide his desire to kill them . If they had done something wrong then Upa would have cut off their heads .

"He wants to figure out the location of the dungeons from us . ”

"It is difficult . We need to hand over the invitation . ”

Wyvern king!

The creature was following behind the griffin .

It was keeping a distance but couldn’t avoid Oswen and Chrisley’s senses .

Upa knew that they were meeting Ariel and had sent the king wyvern after them . Upa and Ariel were at war so it was natural that they wanted to figure out the location of the dungeons .

“Speed up . ”

The griffin flapped its wings harder .

The king wyvern soon disappeared and Oswen muttered .

"I hope that Ariel Diablo is a nicer demon . Hu! My heart is pounding . ”

"I will do the next one . ”

Chrisley had been quiet when they met Upa . It was because she didn’t have a lot of experience with situations like that . She didn’t want to make any mistakes so she decided to learn from Oswen .

Ariel Diablo and most of her demons were located in North America . Ariel’s dungeon was in the United States, but recently she had been running two dungeons .

Greenland . The largest island in the world . More than 80% of the land was covered in ice!

Originally it belonged to a marquis in Upa’s faction but Ariel got her hands on it . It seemed like she quite liked the ice covered land .

Thanks to that, Chrisley and Oswen had to travel to Greenland . It was more tightly guarded than North America so they had to use considerable effort to fly over it .

“There are almost no gaps . ”

Oswen couldn’t help feeling admiration . Ariel’s demons were all following a strategy . They were called the ‘Grand Duke’s Knights . ’

Watchtowers were installed on paths where the enemy could move . There were also large creatures surrounding the watchtowers .

"How do we arrive?”

Chrisley asked while sweating .

There were magic items and stealth scrolls packed . The griffin couldn’t be caught in the air, but it was hard to get rid of enemies that covered the land .

"It seems like I am destined not to live . . . ”

Oswen shook his head .

His body was already dead but he sighed at the thought of dealing with all these creatures .

They were piled up like a mountain .

'Kuoong . The equipment to repel the curse was almost reaching a breakthrough as well . It will be fortunate if I can come back alive . ’
