Divine Protection of Many Gods

Chapter 67

Chapter 67

“Please wait . ”

I heard a voice from behind and looked back to see the maid from the [Lower Layer]’s mansion .

No, she’s very similar but slightly different . The difference is a horn growing from the top of her head .

[It is a ryuujin . I have heard that there are many people who live together with dragons, too . ]

That is, if the father or the mother is a dragon, then the child will have dragon characteristics as well .

For now let’s confirm her status .

Irene Drakelord Maid

竜人 Lv . 38 25歳

Ryuujin Lv . 38 Age:25

Skills:

【Housework】★★★

Status Rises Indoors .

【 Blood of the Scorching Dragon】★★

Can reproduce the abilities of a dragon . However, the effect is deteriorated .

Drakelord, the same family name as Selva .

“Would you please leave the attack at that? I think that Selva-sama will also reflect on this painful experience . ”

“Why did she attack without any warning?”

Based on levels as well, I shouldn’t drop my guard against these opponents .

“Anyhow the reason for secluding ourselves within the dungeon’s [Management Layer] and rarely going out is that the conversations and such of this personage with the remaining people… No, the remaining people and dragons, were just awful . ”

Do they have trouble in society?

“She hasn’t exercised at all and only relied on her natural abilities as a dragon . She’s really hasn’t trained at all . ”

Is this hikikomori (shut-in) actually weak for a dragon?

“She also has a particular weakness to alcohol, when Master learns of it he will give her a severe scolding . ”

Well, that alcohol that was concentrated to the limit is closer to a disinfectant .

“The attack on the body’s insides before didn’t even have very much damage, how deplorable to get surprised and faint from that . ”

My trump card’s damage was nearly nothing as well? Then it’s seriously no good to use it in a pinch .

“Selva-sama . Please wake up already . ”

She began to crack a very thick whip that was 10 cm at its handle . It made a loud smack as it struck Selva’s face .

“I-it hurts . What? What is it? Geez, don’t be so quick to hurt me!”

“Please transform into human form without being half-asleep . ”

“I-I understand already . Geez, Irene will get angry soon if I don’t . ”

I’m interested in that whip that was able to easily damage Selva, so I checked it’s status .

Whip of Dragon Destruction

【Dragon Killing】★★

Able to pierce all of a dragon’s defenses .

It’s a Dragon Slayer . I haven’t heard of a Dragon Slayer in the form of a whip .

Afterwards, when I visit the dragons’ relatives I should get my hands on some Dragon Slayer items .

“If we don’t know where the weapons that can kill us are, wouldn’t you agree our safety would be compromised?”

It is certainly justifiable . It seems that currently the method to make 【Dragon Killing】 weapons was lost so those that exist are all that there is .

Surprisingly, it seems this country’s relationship with the dragons is in high enough regard in order to make deals for 【Dragon Killing】 weapons .

With a rustling sound, Selva shrinks and returns to the form of the sweet cute girl I saw at first .

Of course, as with convention she became naked when returning to human form . Because of that our lady started to pout and grumble .

“Truly, I am very sorry . ”

Irene-san bowed very deeply in apology causing Selva to bow despite her swelling bruise .

Irene-san shot Selva a glare causing her to fluster and to start bowing repeatedly .

“Originally, dragons don’t randomly attack people . We especially respect people who challenged the labyrinth . Forcing someone into marriage is not done . ”

Since the dungeon opened only 3 people have traversed all of it, and only I was a man that had a divine protection which they wanted to obtain and it resulted in them desperately hoping to invite me .

“Would you please accept a gift as an apology?”

We are intruders who forcefully broke through the dungeon but she wants to give us a gift as an apology?

“Because the dungeon invasion was desired by us . ”

Seems like it’s okay . (Darknari: They’re freakin’ mind readers, lol)

“Speaking of, you took all the layer [Guardians] as your subordinates, right? We have a contract with farms and workshops to purchase suitable replacement [Guardians] . ”

Why expressly tell me that they hold all control of the rules of the dungeon?

“While the dungeon’s pretense is searching for a suitable spouse for dragons, it’s just a pretext to enjoy ourselves . For such a reason, Hibiki, your novel method of capturing the dungeon was very enjoyable . ”

So, no problem . Or so I’m told .

If that’s the case, I decided to take the apology gift .

Incidentally, Irene-san is exactly like the mansion’s maid so that maid was modeled after her .

Naturally, the scene where I was frisking the body was seen too . I had a moment of shock when I heard that .

The [Shrine] can be seen from the plaza where we are at . There seems to be their aim .

It was about 10 min until we arrived at the shrine, then Irene unlocked the shrine’s gate .

“Please pick from among Selva-sama’s treasures in this warehouse . You should be able to find something you find pleasing . ”

My spirit perks up a little when hearing about a dragon’s treasure storehouse . Dragons in this universe seem to also have the habit of collecting shiny things .

“To open up my treasure storehouse to someone beside Irene, I-I’ve become a little nervous . ”

Selva doesn’t seem to have friends, either . Without minding her all the members entered the treasure storehouse .

“Ho, it’s quaint good . ”

“It is amazing . ”

“M-may I also enter?”

The treasure storehouse overflowed with various things .

Decorative weapons and armor .

Accessories that I don’t understand how to wear .

Gold and silver coins that were piled into mountains and were scattered around carelessly .

“How do you like it? My things are pretty good, right?”

Selva heard us and entered with a triumphant look . I simply ignored her while I kept searching .

I pay no mind to Selva’s voice behind me as she clings to Irene .

Everyone started choosing whatever they wanted .

I caught sight of a sword separated from the rest in the back of the treasure storehouse .

Checking it’s status .

Seiken (Holy Sword)

【Curse of Concealment】

The true power is hidden and sealed away .

There was a holy sword . Because of the curse I can’t tell what effect it would have .

“Oh, so you zeroed in on that sword? You have sharp eyes . That’s the [Holy Sword], which was used by one of the previous heroes or some warrior to possibly defeat, or maybe not, some kind of Demon King or something, I’ve heard . ”

I can’t understand that messed up explanation . I don’t even get if he was overthrown in the end .

Still since it’s cursed that means it must have come in contact with a fiend, right?

『YES』

[YES]

There was a sudden response in my head . I look around but Selva is only staring blankly in puzzlement .

“Eh, What?”

“Selva, did you say something just now?”

When she heard that Selva suddenly burst into tears and ran to Irene’s side .

“Irene~, Hibiki has not forgiven us yet . ”

“It’s alright, it’s alright, Hibiki-sama, I understand your anger but we apologized so please be a bit more nicer to Selva-sama . ”

“No, I just heard a voice besides Selva’s just now . ”

I look around the surroundings restlessly, but there is only Selva and Irene with me in the depths of the treasure storehouse .

“Is someone there?”

A word of denial rings in my head . I check my status to see if my skills have increased .

【Oracle】

You can ask god’s opinion with two choices .

【Fame】

Gives a status effect corresponding to your title .

The effect increases and decreases based on the recognition of others .

Titles:

Labyrinth Explorer

Hero of Welburg

Lord of Goblins

Disciple of Flame Whirlwind

Demon Killer

Black Magic User

Annihilation

Apparently, some time ago there were [Yes] or [No] revelations from god .

【Fame】 seems to strengthen my status when a title is attained from being more well-known .

Currently ‘Disciple of Flame Whirlwind’ and ‘Demon Killer’ are about as effective as ‘Labyrinth Explorer’ .

Will recognition by goblins also lead to an increase in my status?

The enhancements are…

All Status Rising:

Labyrinth Explorer

Hero of Welburg

Demon Killer

Annihilation

Goblin Morale Rising, Leadership Rising:

Lord of Goblins

Effect of Fire and Wind Magic Rising:

Disciple of Flame Whirlwind

Chance of an Abnormal State Against Opponents Rising:

Black Magic User

So what’s the bottom line?

Seems like if I fight in front of a lot of people my status will increase faster .

Well, that was a tangent, back to the [Holy Sword] .

I reach out to grab the scabbard and lift up the sword .

The [Cursed] state didn’t come undone, is it because I haven’t touched the sword?

I slowly reach towards the sword hilt .
