My Yandere Girlfriend Hiding in the Dungeon Kills Me Over and Over Again

Chapter 26 Master

“Are you the one who wants to become my master?”

Who is this…?

“Ah, I am the core of the Parasitic Sword Puppeteer of Guts and Machination .”

The one who spoke like this was an entity that could only be described as a monster. One might even call it an aggregation of darkness, with eye and mouth parts scattered in the darkness.

“I see, the core of the Parasitic sword. Where is this place?”

The surrounding scenery was also strange.

In the darkness, flickering flames were scattered about. Was this such a sight?

“This is your deep inner world, I suppose.”

My interpretation of it being in my mind is probably not far off.

Well, the exact location doesn’t matter much.

More importantly…

“I have a request. I want you to lend me your power.”

I am currently powerless.

I’ll acquire the power no matter whose power it is.

“Alright.”

It was surprisingly easy.

“Is it really okay for you to agree so easily?”

“That’s a strange response. You were the one who brought it up, right?”

“Well, that’s true.”

I couldn’t help but be suspicious because I had expected to be rejected.

“No, you see, there’s a familiar scent coming from your soul. So I thought it would be okay for me to follow you.”

“A familiar scent…”

Even though I’ve been resetting my deaths, I’ve been taken over by the Parasitic sword multiple times. Maybe that’s what it meant by a familiar scent.

“Anyway, please take care of me, my master.”

With those words, my consciousness awakened.

When I opened my eyes, there was the vampire Judite sitting in a chair.

“Oh, I never expected you to succeed.”

Vampire Judite had wide eyes.

It seemed that she didn’t expect it to work. I just followed her orders, though.

“Well, it’s alright. Please come with me.”

She seemed to be going somewhere.

“Um, what are we going to do?”

“I told you. If you pass the test, I’ll make you my disciple. From now on, I will train you.”

“How many skills do you possess?”

“Just one.”

In reality, I had two skills: “Provocation” and “Save & Reset,” but I kept the latter hidden.

“And if I were to inquire about that skill?”

“It’s ‘Provocation.'”

“It’s quite disappointing.”

“I’m aware of it.”

“Well then, would you like to acquire another skill from now on?”

“Huh? Can you do something like that?”

“Oh, do you not know who I am?”

“You are the great vampire Judite.”

“That’s true, but I’ve been living in this dungeon for nearly a thousand years. So I know everything about this dungeon.”

She said this as she pointed to her head.

“Of course, I know the locations of all the treasure chests where skills can be obtained.”

Chapter 27 Skill acquisition

According to the vampire Judite, there are three treasure chests in the depths of this dungeon where skills can be obtained. One of them contained the “Provocation” skill, which I acquired. Therefore, I still have two more skills I can obtain.

“Hidden passages in a place like this?”

Judite placed her hand on the wall, and a hidden passage appeared.

“There’s a treasure chest ahead.”

As she said, there was a treasure chest at the end of the passage. Inside, I found a transparent crystal.

Obtained “Crystal of Wisdom”. Its effect will activate automatically.

This message seemed familiar. I recalled seeing it when I opened a treasure chest for the first time.

△△△△△△△△△△△△△△△

The list of skills I had seen before was somewhat similar, but there were some differences. I didn’t recall seeing skills like 〈Intimidation〉 or 〈Precognition〉.

“Judite-sama, which one should I choose?”

“Well, I think you should go with the 〈Swordsmanship〉 skill. Without this skill, it’s not even worth discussing.”

Following her suggestion, I chose the 〈Swordsmanship〉 skill.

▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽

Acquired skill 《Swordsmanship》.

△△△△△△△△△△△△△△△

With this, it seems I’ve successfully obtained the 《Swordsmanship》 skill.

“Well then, let’s go acquire another skill.”

With that in mind, we set off for the location where the second skill could be obtained.

The second skill was located near the deepest part of the dungeon.

“There’s the boss of this dungeon up ahead.”

In the gaze of the vampire Judite, there was a particularly large door.

“If we defeat this boss, can we leave the dungeon?”

“Yes, of course, that’s right.”

“Do you also need to defeat the boss when you want to leave, Judite-sama?”

I asked on a whim.

Judite’s hideout had a bed and a table. In other words, it seemed that she frequently went outside to shop.

“Yes, that’s right.”

” Judite-sama, you can easily defeat any boss, can’t you?”

“No, it’s not quite like that.”

With that, she denied it and then said after a brief pause,

“I haven’t been able to go outside for nearly 50 years now.”

“…Huh?”

“Lately, it seems the boss’s power has become stronger, making it difficult for even me to defeat.”

She said this while gritting her teeth.

“Hmm.”

I thought, what kind of boss can’t she defeat?

The second treasure chest was located at the end of a hidden passage near the room where the boss was.

▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽

Acquired《Crystal of Wisdom》. Its effect activates forcibly.

△△△△△△△△△△△△△△△

“Force activation of the ‘Crystal of Wisdom’? I’ve never heard of this before.”

▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽

You have acquired the skill “Attribute Bestowal.”

△△△△△△△△△△△△△△△

“Oh, it seems you’ve obtained a rare skill.”

“Well…?”

“This ‘Crystal of Wisdom’ is an item that grants a person a random skill. However, it’s a bit of a problem. ‘Attribute Bestowal’ is a magic-based skill, so it won’t be useful unless you acquire the ‘Mana Generation’ skill.”

“So, you mean it’s a miss?”

“Well, there’s no need to worry too much. As long as you plan to eventually acquire ‘Mana Generation,’ you’ll be fine.”

“Understood…”

In that case, does that mean there’s hope of acquiring ‘Mana Generation’?

“In that case, shall we start special training from tomorrow?”

With that decision, the days of special training under the vampire Judite began.
