Rise of a Dungeon Lord - 10 The king of bones
CASTLE THRONE ROOM
In a highly decorated throne room filled with gold and banners, a large skeleton sat resting on a throne
*Boom!*
Just as the skeleton was lost In thought, a large bang came from the throne room entrance revealing a figure running towards him.
[Good day Milord]
not giving him a time to react the figure immediately went down on one knee
[Anna, what brings you here?]
Seeing the figure in his front, the king of bones didn’t bother to raise his head.
[Milord, I can feel spatial fluctuations around us, are we expecting guests?]
pαпdα`noνɐ1`сoМ
[Guests? I think in this situation, they should be the enemy]
raising his head slightly, the king of bone’s eyes glowed red with a glint of expectation.
Unfortunately, Anna didn’t have any expectations but rather it seemed she was about to explode from anger any moment from now.
[Enemies!?]
[Isn’t Khaled meant to be on guard duty?]
[how could they reach here, could it be that idiot vampire couldn’t do his job right!?]
[Damn Khaled, how dare you put our lord in danger!]
In her mind, she had already thought of a million ways to shred him alive.
[Milord leave those intruders to me, I’ll go dispose of them now.]
Unexpectedly the King of bones just raised a hand motioning for her to stop.
[No need to go anywhere Anna, They should be arriving any moment from now]
Having said that, a bright light flashed in the throne room revealing Ye Tian and the others.
….
On the side of Ye Tian and the others
“Where am I?”
“What just happened”
“Where did that Vampire go?”
“What happened to Jiang Yang?”
Opening their eyes, a wave of commotion spread within them as everyone was surprised by the sudden transmission.
“Damn vampire, one day I’ll pluck off your wings one day to make winged soup!”
Dusting his body, the voice of an angry Mu Fan sounded among the crowd.
[Oh? it’s a great idea, too bad I’m already going to pluck that Vampires wings]
Just as Mu Fan finished speaking, a slightly seductive voice came from behind him.
“what!!’
“Who’s that! show yourself, or are you afraid of the great Mu fan”
with a fireball in his hand, Mu Fan had officially entered fire fist Mu Fan mode.
[look behind you!]
listening to the voice, a question mark couldn’t help but appear on top of their heads.
Turning their heads, they saw a very strange scene. A Skeleton who sat lazily on a huge throne while a blushing demoness stood at his side.
Looking at the two of them, they felt like they were about to drown from their aura alone.
“Do you feel that?”
“yeah! they are definitely S-class!”
“What S-class?”
“Didn’t the school say this was an S-class dungeon?”
Feeling their presence the whole class couldn’t help but stare at them to confirm they weren’t dreaming.
[What are you looking at, kneel down!]
Perhaps feeling the strange gazes the demoness let out a roar immediately causing all of them to kneel on the ground.
[welcome hunters, I am Anna the maid of my one and only lord Amnennar the king of bones. While I commend you for reaching it here safely, unfortunately, not all of you could make it. ]
Although she said so, the look of sarcasm and disdain in her eyes said more than enough.
*it seems that fool Khaled can do something right, According to milord they were twenty when they entered, and now about half of them are gone*
Just as she was thinking about how to deal with these human ants and go back to discussing with her lord, a loud voice interrupted her thoughts.
“Shameless, how dare you act all high and mighty when you’re obviously an S-class dungeon boss pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger!”
Hearing her speak badly about their dead classmates, a nameless fire filled my fan’s heart so much that he ignored the fact that both of them could crush him with a finger.
[Ant! how dare you speak to me this way!]
Just as she was about to make a move to wipe out the ant in front of her, a large tap sound brought her attention back.
*Boom!*
[Anna, Stay back!]
At some point in time, Amnennar had gotten a large golden staff in hand tapping on the ground a few times drawing everyone’s attention
[Firstly, yes you are right. We are what you hunters call ‘S class bosses’, speaking of this I would like to thank you for that.]
Casually throwing out a bomb of information the king of bones immediately changed the topic.
[but that’s a topic for another day]
Ignoring the annoyed expression on everyone’s face, Amnennar continued speaking.
[Since you made it here safely, how about we make a deal?]
[How about I pick one of you at random, and as long as whoever I pick can last for ten minutes against me I’ll let you all go harm free]
“….”
hearing this, a sense of Deja Vu filled the air as they seemed to be back when they first met a certain vampire.
Unfortunately, he didn’t give them a chance to reply.
[Silence? so I’ll take it, you agree.]
[we’ll let’s star-]
Just as he was about to continue, a piece of information was suddenly transmitted to him from Khaled.
[Milord what happened?]
seeing the sudden pause by her lord, a look of confusion appeared on Anna’s face.
[Nothing let’s move on]
motioning for her not to pay attention he started the skeleton version of eeny, meeny, miny, moe.
after a few tense seconds, his finger finally stopped
[it’s you!]
pointing in Ye Tian’s direction, the selection finally ended.
“….”
Silence filled the group as no one said anything to refute or help him.
Apparently, although no one said it, Qin Yu’s death and Jiang Yang’s kidnapping is still fresh in their mind, at this point, no one is willing to sacrifice again, even the hot-blooded mu fan was surprisingly quiet.
[So what’s it going to be? do you accept or I’ll just wipe you all out?]
staring at Ye tian with his expressionless skull skeleton, to bad for him Ye Tian wasn’t paying attention to him, he was busy talking to his system at this moment
*system, is there any way out of this, even after levelling up earlier, there’s no way I can win this*
[….]
*little blue hurry up, now’s not the time to be silent!*
[[it’s not that I don’t want to tell you but….]
*but what?*
[Sigh….. fine host and tell you]
After a series of pressing, the system finally gave in and told him how to deal with the current predicament.
[host, if you want to deal with this situation, then you’ll have to…]
Thankfully the whole conversation with the system didn’t attract any suspicion from the skeleton, but thinking of the only way out given by the system a gloomy expression showed on his face.
*Take a deep breath Ye Tian, you can do this, think of all the classmates that sacrificed themselves for us to make it here today, think of Chu Ting and aunt Wang waiting for you at home*
Whispering to himself, he had already made a decision.
With one last look at his classmates, he strode forward with a firm look on his face.
“King of bones, I accept your challenge!”
