EP.27 Holy Knights Caught in Their Own Trap
Aren immediately leaped into the cave. She hadn’t thought about what might be inside the cave from the beginning. Her only priority was to escape the rain.
Inside the cave, the walls were illuminated by torches hanging on them. It seemed like the rain had something to do with it. The walls, the ceiling, and even the stone floor were damp.
Aren carefully advanced, making sure not to slip, thanks to the weight of a large sword she had tucked in her bosom. The interior of the cave was silent, disturbed only by the occasional dripping of water from the ceiling.
“Ugh... I’m not scared.”
Aren felt a little frightened but bravely continued to sing as she moved forward.
“Come on, little friends, gather here.”
Though she didn’t know the rhythm, singing certainly improved Aren’s mood. How long had she walked? Soon, she came across a fork in the path.
“Three paths?”
She hadn’t expected a situation like this.
“Which way should I go?”
Aren pondered and then took a squirrel from her pocket and set it down. It was one of the friends she had made to keep her company on her journey.
As soon as the squirrel touched the ground, it became startled and darted away. Aren watched where it went.
It went in the direction of the rightmost path among the three.
“The squirrel went that way!”
Aren clenched her fist and followed the direction the squirrel had gone.
After a bit of walking, a wide meadow appeared.
“Wow!”
Aren exclaimed as she looked at the meadow. Although there was no sunshine, various kinds of flowers were in full bloom across the meadow.
It was as if these beings in the meadow were trying to tempt anyone who entered, but Aren focused her attention elsewhere.
“Oh, the squirrel friend...”
On the grassy ground, the squirrel she had set free earlier was lying there. It was the same squirrel she had released a while ago.
Above it, numerous butterflies were fluttering, sucking the squirrel’s fluids.
The true nature of the butterflies was blood-sucking butterflies, monsters.
Aren nodded as she watched them.
“Seems like butterfly friends like squirrel friends too.”
Hehe. Aren smiled and approached the blood-sucking butterflies.
When she did, one of the blood-sucking butterflies flew over and bit her arm.
Aren screamed, “Friends are the best!” and opened her mouth wide, swallowing the blood-sucking butterfly in one gulp.
Each bite caused the butterfly to explode, and blood spilled out.
“From now on, butterfly friends are Aren’s important friends!”
Aren had taken a liking to the blood-sucking butterflies.
As she was admiring the numerous butterflies fluttering around, something caught her eye from the corner.
In the distance, several giant spiders were staring at Aren with their eyes glinting.
“Ugh.”
The spiders were much larger than Aren. They had multiple hairy legs and their fangs were moving.
“They are not friends...”The origin of this chapter's debut can be traced to N0v3l--B1n.
Aren murmured, about to take a step back when a voice called out from the other side.
“Oh my, a lovely young lady has come. Are you lost by any chance?”
Someone approached from across. Aren turned her head to see where the voice came from. There was someone there, and it was Manager Celia, who had been in charge of managing this dungeon.
“What a beautiful lady!”
For Aren, who had just seen something unimaginable moments ago, the current situation was incredibly joyful. Aren herself saw Celia as being very pretty.
Moreover, the luxurious red dress Celia was wearing made her stand out even more.
As they walked around the large lake, another corridor appeared.
This was the center of the dungeon.
In the central area, there were several facilities. Near the dungeon’s core, often referred to as the heart, unknown individuals in large robes were guarding the vicinity. There was also a space that looked like a prison, with a human sitting inside. Aren wasn’t particularly interested, so she turned her attention elsewhere.
Further along, a sophisticated facility became apparent at first glance.
“This is where I live,” Celia said.
It was her office, the Manager’s room, where she conducted her daily duties.
Beside the office entrance, skeletons with swords at their waists were standing guard.
“These are also the mercy of our master,” Celia gestured towards the skeletons. They were 3-star monsters, known as Skeleton Knights.
Celia’s master, Lee Kang-hyun, could perform a significant upgrade by making multiple rolls in the lottery. This resulted in the creation of 2-star monsters, the Skeleton warrior, by combining 2-star monsters. Even the dress Celia was wearing had transformed from her usual maid’s outfit into a luxurious red dress.
All of this was thanks to the master’s gifts. Now, the Manager’s room was guarded by Skeleton Knights instead of the usual Skeleton Soldiers. Even someone who knew nothing about it could tell that the Manager’s room was important.
“Hey, little lady, how about enjoying some sweet treats together?”
“Sure!” Aren, excited, put down her Demon Sword and rushed forward.
Celia, leading Aren, entered the Manager’s room.
“There are desserts obtained from the Incubi that are still left.”

Werther Leo Bane.
He was the second son of the noble Leo Bane family of the Kalen Empire and currently held the position of Vice-captain of the White Order Knights. He was currently leading the Holy Knights in pursuit of vampires. There was only one of them, but it was more important to Werther than anything else.
So even on a rainy day, he led the Holy Knights in pursuit of vampires.
Naturally, there was discontent among the Holy Knights, but he used his authority as Vice-captain to suppress their complaints.
He wasn’t doing this in miserable weather just to catch a vampire for no reason. He was doing it because the one he was pursuing had the Demon Sword.
Werther came here with only one purpose in mind: to obtain the Demon Sword.
Once he had the Demon Sword, he would gain incredible power. The notion that it brought miserable consequences was for weaklings. He was different.
Once he became the rightful owner of the Demon Sword, he would obtain immense power. And the tip of that sword would be aimed at his own family, the Leo Bane noble family. He had been deprived of the position of heir solely because he was the younger son.
His less competent elder brother had become the heir, and his father, the head of the family, had chosen his elder brother as the successor. He couldn’t forgive it as a member of the family.
The head of the family must choose wisely. The position of the head should always be given to the one who fits it the most. Considering such conditions, his father, who didn’t know how to judge people, was not fit to be the head. Similarly, his elder brother also lacked the qualifications to become the head.
A true head must support the family, and that’s how it can thrive. Families that don’t have a true head have disappeared into the annals of history. At least, Werther knew that much. So, if Werther were to possess the Demon Sword, the blade’s tip would be aimed at his own family.
It wouldn’t be a rebellion against the family but rather a rescue.
“Vice captain, we found traces!”
One of the Holy Knights who was searching the area had discovered a rabbit lying on the ground.
“It’s a vampire’s trace.”
There were bite marks on the rabbit’s body, unmistakably the work of a vampire.
“Search the area thoroughly!”
Upon seeing these traces, Werther immediately ordered all the Holy Knights.
And soon enough, they found it, the hidden cave among the trees.
The rain was pouring heavily. The vampire probably had no choice but to seek shelter from the rain.
“Yes, the path leads to the cave.”
Werther smirked.
“I’m incredibly lucky.”
With the Holy Knights in tow, Werther headed towards the cave.
He was already consumed by greed.
