Self-proclaimed! An Ordinary Demonic Hero's Life ~ The Result Of Creating A Cheat Dungeon Despite Being A B-class Demon Chapter 19

A while after entering the second Demon King's dungeon, I noticed that the environment had changed compared to the morning.

“The Matangi don't attack.”

The Matango's a.s.sault, which had emerged from walls and floors, had stopped. They appeared, but they did not show any hostility. Or rather, they are bowing to us.

“… What's going on?”

“Oh, that's because Chrono took the Contract seal that made the monster and used it. That power is activated.”

I was told that it was a stone that controlled monsters. However,

“Can you use it just by taking it? What is a contract seal stone?”

“Nah, you can't use it unless you show that you own it, and you need more control to own it in the first place. Only with a certain amount of power can you use the demon King's legacy.”

So, why the power of the contracted stone was activated, I picked up the stone that I kept in my pocket.

The stone was faintly wrapped in a familiar black light. Or rather, my chains were covering the stone.

“Um, this chain is wrapping around on its own. What is this?”

“The chain shows that Chrono is the owner. You have been recognized as the owner of the Demon King's legacy. Congratulations!”

“No, congratulations. What would happen if I wasn't recognized as the owner?”

“In that case, it just doesn't work. This time, the effect has been demonstrated, the control of the monster has s.h.i.+fted to you. Oh, but just because you own it does not make this a contract, the monster cannot be manipulated just because it does not attack. Be careful there.”

So that's it. I don't know much about this contract and its detailed uses, but I've found that this demon king's legacy can also be used to avoid monsters.

…… Unlike the gatekeeper, Matango would come out again even if you defeat it, it was a little troublesome.

It would be a great help if you could safely move inside the dungeon without having to manipulate it.

“Then, do you want to walk looking for Salamado san?”

“Yes, let's do it. I think if we find a door with open signs and go in, we'll catch up.”

The dominator's guide states the rules, one of them is that should keep the door open when infiltrating the dungeon. This is to make it easier for people who come later to know where you are.

So, this time, I will follow the opened doors.

“Well, we're going to go in. Sophia could you tell me if you hear something unusual on the way.”

“Yes, I understand. I'm going to go with the full hearing of vampires.”

Vampires have the highest level of hearing among demons. With her, you'll never miss a voice. With that in mind, we move through the dungeon steadily while the Matangi crawled around.
Or rather, the effect of this contract seal stone was amazing.

There was no sign that the Matangi would attack even if we went down to the second or third level. Thanks to that, we came down to the fourth level without stopping.

“Wow, gatekeeper, you're here too.”

In one big pa.s.sage on the fourth level, I stopped. The reason is that there were six gatekeepers in front of the door.

I brought a wooden stick, but it's a bit painful and dangerous to deal with multiple enemies. I had to cooperate with Liza and Sofia to defeat them, but I'm sure they'll be exhausted.

“Oh, it's okay, Chrono. I think you'll be able to pa.s.s by just holding up the contract stone.”

Liza laughed and said so. I thought the stone would only control Matango, but apparently not.

…… I wonder if it's true.

I raised the contract seal and went near the gatekeeper. And then…

“…”

The gatekeepers immediately knelt before me. That quiet, slightly intimidating sight made me a little nervous.

“Um … Liza. The power of this contracted seal, isn't it too strong? It works for all the monsters in this dungeon.”

“That's right. It's the Demon King's legacy. It's natural to have strong power!”

Liza says lightly.

I was not thinking that way because I had seen only the Demon King's legacies that seemed to be useful in everyday life, such as the mattress where you could sleep well, and a wardrobe that contains endless clothes.

…… If you think about it, mother cores and other ridiculous things are also Legacies of the Demon Kings.

I'm aware of that now.

“The Demon King's legacy is amazing.”

“Ah, that's right. I'm glad you understood that. Actually, it's not just the power of the Demon King's legacy.”

“Eh?”

Liza looked at the contract seal stone and looked into my eyes.

“The reason the gatekeepers knelt was that you have the power to control the Demon King's legacy, you usually don't use it like this.”

“Really?”

I don't know because I've never seen other people use it.

“Yes. For example, if Professor Dante uses it, I think it will be hard to suppress a Matango. So, that's the result of Chrono's power. It's a good idea to remember carefully. ”

“… I see. Well, I'll remember it well.”

“Okay. Heh, this activity is part of the lecture. I'm glad I was taught something new.”

With a smile, Liza walked forward.

And, I also dived deeper into the dungeon with Sofia while feeling the power of the Legacy of the Demon King again.
