Dungeon of Pride, Laplace

It might be impossible for others to build such money burning machines but not for Simon. After all, where was this place? This place was inside the dungeon that was created by him.

A dungeon is a place filled with riches ad unknown dangers according to adventurers; However, Simon disagreed. A dungeon was not some ordinary place but a special dimensional realm that can only be created by the demons.

It has its own laws and rules and is separate from the world outside which makes it a pretty special place. For a demon Noble, a dungeon is just like an extension of themselves and reflects its master.

Based on it, a dungeon can both become a place filled with riches or extreme dangers at every point. Anyways, the point is, as long as he keeps on growing the dungeon, it won't be long in the future when his dungeon will be able to produce all those materials required to manufacture the Andromedas on its own.

Right now it was just a [D] rank low-tier dungeon but that too will change soon enough in the future. When it does, all those things and options locked to him right now in the [Shop], will gradually open up.

Feeling the density of Mana inside his dungeon, Simon reckoned that he wouldn't have to wait for long. Not to mention, he also had the help of Cecilia and the Forest Spring Spirit race with him. That is why, it riled him to no extent that somebody would eye something that already belong to him.

The Forest Spring Spirits Swore an oath of isubordination to him which also made them his subjects. It was only natural that he protected them.

"Should I help you in upgrading the floor?" Simon asked, he as the dungeon master had the ability to do so. In fact, before the wisp came into the picture he was the only one capable of doing such massive alterations to his dungeon.

[BEEP-BOOP-BOOP] the answer he received was a negative, the Null Elemental wanted Simon to leave this floor to it. It wanted to share his burdens and not add to them, that is why, it told Simon to focus on the other issues of the dungeon.

"Alright then, I'll leave it to you".

Simon nodded his head feeling the emotions of the Wisp and left the management of this floor to him. Besides, even if he wanted to, the changes brought over by the Wisp was already beyond what he could currently alter with the help of [Main Menu].

The rivers, volcanic Mountains and those factories were already updates beyond the current rank of his dungeon.

After he was done monitoring the floor, Simon saw the Wisp permeate inside the ground and disappear again. Currently, it was merged with this floor and was busy creating more of the andromedas to stop the adventurers.

Thus it cannot leave its place for long or else the entire production will stop. Although Simon wanted to see how it was doing whatever it was doing, he instinctively felt that the Wisp was at a critical juncture of producing the andromedas and shouldn't be disturbed.

Each of these Andromedas Mark Eleven was capable of holding its own against a level 250 adventurer which was a massive aid for the dungeon to stall down the progress rate of the adventurers and the best thing about it all was that producing them did not even need DP.

After observing the floor for a while, Simon along with Irene and Cecilia teleported back to the hall they were in on the Main Floor.

"So how was it, did you see how useful the Null Elemental was?" Irene asked enjoying his reaction.

"Yeah, I was wrong… the Null Elemental; No, Wisp was far more stronger and mysterious than I imagined" Simon replied honestly. His earlier misconception that it was just a floating light of ego, was gone replaced by the scenes that he had seen back on that floor.

The third Guardian was so much more amazing than he thought., not only did it have strong utility abilities, it was even able to merge with his floor and produce things that were not even from this world.

Simon was sure that if it continued to create more and higher versions of those Andromedas, he will soon have himself an army of powerful warmachines just like that Mecha Empire that controlled them in that game.

In any case, Simon was very thankful that the wisp was able to stall the adventurers long enough for him to make more changes to the dungeon.

"Un.. un.. little wisp is amazing" Cecilia added not understanding much of the stuff that was said. Irene smiled seeing the attitude of the little girl, she was clearly very fond of the third guardian and thus became elated whenever someone praised the Wisp.

"What are you going to do now?" Irene asked changing the subject.

"Ah, about that… Cecilia can you go and call all of the [Helpers] for me?" as if remembering something, Simon suddenly asked.

Cecilia immediately nodded and left to carry out the orders of her brother. The moment she left, a grave look appeared on Simon's face and his crimson eyes became dead serious.

"So what is it that you cannot tell in front of Cecilia?" Irene inquired tactfully understanding the gravity of the situation.

"Why would you think that?" Simon asked back to which he only got an eye roll from the latter.

"If you wanted to call the [Helpers], you could have just done it so using the [Main Menu]. However, you went through the trouble to send Cecilia out which means that whatever you are going to say next has to do with her or her clansmen".

This time it was Simon's turn to roll his eyes, this woman was just too perceptive. She not only had beauty going on for her, but even her intellect and powers were on par with her looks.

Simon admitted with a nod of his head and added "A while ago, when I was on loitering on the eighth floor with those adventurers, I came across another team of adventurers, the one that you were talking about who managed to clear thirty floors in just one week".

"They used some weird artefact to make all the other adventurers unconscious so as to cover their steps inside the dungeon. In any case, I hid myself in one of the corner and was able to learn about their objective behind diving inside the dungeon".

Hearing his words, even Irene's crystal blue eyes had some severity appearing on them "Are you trying to say that their objective is not to conquer the dungeon but the Forest Spring Spirits?".

Simon nodded "I don't know how they knew about it, but if I had to guess, it has to do something with the guild that was after Cecilia's clan".

"Could it be it's them?"

"Could be... I was wondering where that guild disappeared to all along. If it's really them, then they spared me the trouble to go look for them. Since they decided to come inside my dungeon I will show them how grave of a mistake they made. Let them continue to struggle and rack their brains, descend all they want, the thirty-sixth floor will be their final resting plae".

Right after saying his piece, Simon started walking away, a baleful demonic aura radiated out of his body.

-----

The place was an empty floor with no features to speak of. It had nothing installed on it and was as simple as can be. The floor was a newly created one and was just there to serve one purpose.

"Hmm, this place is good enough" Simon commented teleporting to the centre of the floor. His hand held five charcoal grey emblems that were produced by his dungeon every month.

The reason for him teleporting to this new floor which was positioned right after the thirty sixth floor and above the Wisp's floor he decided to call the [Workshop] was precisely because he was going to use this place for summoning.

Now that he was more cautious and aware of his surroundings, he knew that it was not a good idea to do the summoning on the [Main Floor]. After all, from his experiment of summoning from the [???????] option he knew one thing and that was after the merger of the two menus, his summoning option was altered and became something completely different.

As can be seen from the beings that were summoned from it, there was no guarantee that the beings that will come out of it will be loyal to him and won't harm his dungeon.

That is why, it was better to do summoning far away from the [Main Floor] from now on.

Simon had created this floor so that he can summon a subordinate using the emblems without any worry.

"Alright, last time I used four emblems to summon the Null Elemental. Let's see what happens when I toss five emblems into it".

Simon always felt excited whenever he used the option, after all, an addition of a powerful subordinate was always a happy occasion. The option had been giving him quite the quirky subordinates from the start, it naturally goes to show that his expectations were quite high this time too.

Simon took a deep breath, opened his [Main Menu] and clicked on the [???????] option. The moment he clicked on it, the window changed and a dark revolving abyss that seemed like a black hole that could devour the whole world appeared on the screen.

Simon tossed the five emblems into the abyss and observed it silently. It seemed that five emblems were still not the upper limit for this strange messed up option.

The abyss inside the option spun faster and faster before suddenly halting.
