Dungeon of Pride, Laplace

Chapter 72: Nine Revolution Immortal Ice Phoenix



Chapter 72: Nine Revolution Immortal Ice Phoenix

Two days passed just like that amidst the constant remodelling and addition of new floors. Although the menus have now merged; fortunately, the basic functions were still the same and worked like usual.

On the second day, the dungeon produced the third emblem. Emblems was something produced by the dungeon to be used by the dungeon master to summon subordinates using the [Summon] function.

Each dungeon produced its own unique emblem that can only be used on that dungeon. There can never be two similar emblems produced by two different dungeons.

His dungeon, Laplace produced an emblem every month and including this one, Simon had a total of three emblems with him.

All the three emblems were similarly coin-shaped and had a vague demon with golden black tattoos carved in it. Other than the design and the material with which it was made, the emblem looked quite ordinary.

It didn’t look like something that was able to summon a powerful subordinate that would guard his dungeon. Although Simon was doubtful, Simon did not question it. During the Walpurgis night, he had seen many high ranking demons bringing along their powerful subordinates that were as strong as his Demonic Warhorse or maybe even more.

Subordinates that can be summoned have different ranks. Using one Emblem summons a [D] rank and if one is lucky they might even be able to summon a [C] rank subordinate. Two emblems at once has a chance to summon a [B] rank subordinate, a maximum of three emblems can be used together.

Although Simon got a [B] rank Bloodthorn Demonic Warhorse, that was from the [Gacha] which was completely different from [Summon] function of the dungeon menu.

Using three Emblems together has a chance of summoning a powerful [A] rank subordinate or an extremely rare [S] rank. But the chances of one appearing are as rare as a Phoenix’s feather. Simon had already seen how powerful a [B] rank subordinate was and that was why he wanted a subordinate even more powerful.

Simon knew that to survive in this world, he needed strength. Therefore he couldn’t be satisfied with just any rank, since he was summoning for a subordinate, he wanted the strongest [S] rank. But there was an extremely low chance of summoning a [S] rank subordinate.

He knew that his chances of summoning one were extremely low since he wasn’t even able to get something good from the gacha other than the [B] rank warhorse even after drawing it every single day for the past three months. What he got was the joke items with which he wanted to annoy the players, but it came back to bite him.

However, he couldn’t just give up as he knew that his starting point was the lowest and moving forward he would have to face quite a number of strong enemies. At that time if he didn’t have sufficient strength, he would be squashed like an ant.

That was why Simon was waiting for the third emblem to be produced as he had something he wanted to try. But fate had played a cruel joke on him, now that the dungeon menu had merged itself with the [Main Menu], he wasn’t sure anymore that the emblem would even work.

After all, the [Main Menu] was something that was not from this world and to make things worse the [Summon] option itself had disappeared.

If the emblems didn’t work as they were supposed to, then he would have suffered a massive loss that would impact his and the dungeon’s growth in the future. The [Summon] function and the emblems are essential factors for summoning subordinates that are important for defending the dungeon.

“What use will it have now that the [Summon] function itself had disappeared”. A dejected laugh leaked out from Simon as he contemplated.

Soon after the gears in his head started turning, and his eyes focused once more, an inquisitive light flashing in them. It wasn’t like this was the first hurdle he found himself in. He had faced many obstacles after reincarnating in this world and even in his previous life. Simon was already accustomed to resolving his own problems.

Unlike the [Summon] function of the dungeon menu which used emblems to summon subordinates, the [Hero’s Altar] function of the [Main Menu] he designed, used an exorbitant amount of DP to summon each of those powerful characters.

The amount was so ridiculous that it made it impossible for Simon to summon any of them in the short run or so it was supposed to be before the merger.

After both the menus got merged, it became a bugged mess displayed by [??????]. He did not even know if it was the [Hero’s Altar] or the [Summon] or a merger of the two. It could be even something else entirely… he did not know.

Although the two options were bugged, it didn’t stop him from opening them.

The first [Ga?????] turned out to be the gacha. But unlike before it did not display the currency that was the DP needed to draw anymore. However, when Simon tried putting 100,000 DP into the option, it worked just fine as a set of [C] and [D] rank items appeared in front of him from thin air.

Though there were few unusual changes, the gacha i.e is the [Ga?????] worked just fine. Reliving in the success of the first bugged option working the same as usual even after the change, he was hoping that the other [???????] would work just fine.

However, the reality was different and it turned out that the last option was the one that had the most defect.

Opening the [???????], he was shocked to see that the powerful heroes he set for the players to summon were now all gone. Nor did it look like the [Summon] option through which you could summon subordinates using the emblem.

It was pitch black darkness… Yes, in place of those options was a black spiral that looked like the eye of a black hole that could devour everything when he opened the [??????] option. “The bug is quite bad” Simon grimaced as he watched the silently rotating black spiral.

Taking out the emblems, he wanted to try and see if the emblems were still usable on [???????]. After all, the situation couldn’t be any worse than what it is now.
