After defeating the demon king in another world and returning to Japan, a dungeon appeared on the ground. - Chapter 63

Chapter 63

“First, who are you guys?”

“We’re the Unknown.”

“Is that your organization’s name?”

“Yes.”

“Are you the last member remaining on this floor?”

“Yes.”

“Do your other floors have similar setups with comrades?”

“Yes. There are eight members stationed on each floor.”

“I see… Is there a chain of command?”

“We have a boss.”

“Where is he?”

“On the rooftop.”

“I see… Then, let’s go to him. Lead the way.”

“Yes.”

The man nodded and began to walk, leading me.

Once I engrave the emblem of enslavement, until it’s released, he becomes my obedient slave, obeying any of my commands.

I decided to use the enslaved man to guide me to the boss.

There’s no time to subdue each floor individually.

Conquering the chain of command would be the quickest.

“But before that…”

I remembered the courageous man who had been shot by the terrorists earlier.

“I won’t let brave souls die.”

In respect for the man who had stood up to the terrorists alone, I decided to use a rare item.

I retrieved the item from the void where it was stored using storage magic.

“‘Drop of Life’… With this, you will revive.”

In my hand was a small vial containing rainbow-colored liquid.

It was the ‘Drop of Life’.

An item imbued with the power brought upon by the World Tree’s Dew. I obtained it during my journey to defeat the Demon Lord in the Elven Forest.

With it, I could even revive the dead.

On the condition that, too much time hadn’t passed since their death, its effects remained potent. This man’s death hadn’t been too long ago.

“There you go.”

I dripped a drop of the Drop of Life onto the man lying in the pool of blood.

“Agh…!”

The man’s eyes shot open.

“Eh? Arre… I’m —alive!? Wha…! What’s this pool of blood!? Is it mine…?!”

The revived man jumped up, surprised by his bloodied state.

It seemed he had been successfully revived.

“Just stay still. I’ll deal with the terrorists.”

“W-Wait a minute!! Were you the one to save me!?”

“Who knows.”

I didn’t answer the man’s question and instead head towards the elevator with the one terrorists I had enslaved.

Along the way, many other people were on my path, but as I approached, they moved aside to clear the way.

Everyone looked at me with eyes like they were dreaming.

“It seems there are more of their comrades on other floors. So, if possible, I want you all to stay on this floor and not move. I’ll deal with the ones on the other floors. Don’t make any unnecessary movements until then.”

As I walked, I gave instructions to the people.

“… …”

There was no response.

Everyone seemed stunned, unable to grasp what was happening.

Well, that’s understandable.

After all, multiple terrorists armed with guns were defeated by just a single man.

It seems that it will take them a little longer to accept reality.

“Wait for me a bit, Miku.”

I glanced at Miku one last time, looking at the peaceful expression residing on her sleeping face, before stepped into the elevator.

I operated the buttons and headed to the rooftop where the boss of the ‘Unknown’ awaited.
