I play a Evil God in Otome Game

Duke Alfred, accompanied by Ragnold, arrived at a small lake. The area around the lake was remarkably clean and beautiful. The group, led by the Duke, was astonished by the sight, like a garden straight out of paradise.

Duke Alfred furrowed his brows and looked at Ragnold. "I don't see any dungeon entrance here. Where is it?"

Ragnold remained silent for a moment before stepping forward. "Here," he said with determination. "The dungeon should be close."

Alfred turned his head toward Ragnold. "Are you sure?" he asked, with doubt in his voice. There was still no sign of a dungeon.

Ragnold took a deep breath, inspecting every detail among the rocks. "I'm sure. But I don't know what kind of entrance it is," he said, a bit uneasily. "I only know it's around here."

"It seems we're in for a challenge," Virgo interrupted. The Duke turned his gaze to Virgo. "Do you know something?"

Virgo shook his head, signaling that he didn't, his eyes roaming around the lake. "No, but something seems different here. The most secretive entrances are always in the most ordinary places. If Ragnold is right, there must be a hidden entrance somewhere here."

Ragnold quickly backed Virgo up. "The map showed this place. I swear, my Lord."

Despite still approaching the matter with skepticism, Duke Alfred ultimately decided to trust Ragnold and give him a chance. "Very well, you know best. But remember, if we don't find a dungeon, I'll have you executed."

Ragnold swallowed hard and nodded quickly, looking around with an increased sense of urgency. Meanwhile, Virgo approached the lake and calmly touched the surface of the water with his fingers.

"What are you doing over there, Virgo?" Duke Alfred asked curiously. Virgo looked up and squinted at the lake, his gaze evaluative. "I think I found where the entrance is, my Lord."

Upon hearing Virgo's words, Duke Alfred raised his eyebrows in curiosity and turned his gaze to the lake. "Do you think the entrance is in the lake?"

Virgo nodded, confirming it to Lord Alfred. Virgo then raised his right hand. With a simple motion, he sent a ball of light from his hand into the depths of the water, watching with anticipation as the light descended.

As the ball of light sank into the lake, it grew brighter, giving Virgo a clear view. When the light ball suddenly disappeared, Virgo smiled and stood up.

"What happened, Virgo?" Alfred asked with a frown. Virgo turned to the Lord and explained, "The magic I sent just now didn't disappear, Lord Alfred."

"Then what happened?" the Duke asked calmly. Virgo's eyes gleamed as he pointed below the lake. "The dungeon entrance lies right beneath this lake. The entrance is under the water. If we want to enter, there's only one way..."

Duke Alfred squinted, contemplating as he said, "If we want to find the entrance, perhaps we need to pass through the lake."

Then the Duke gave Virgo a command. "Virgo, I trust you."

Virgo nodded, and magical words flowed from his mouth. Moving his hands as if conducting a symphony, Virgo manipulated the winds.

"Wow..."

Ragnold's eyes widened as a powerful wind began to ripple the lake, slowly parting it like the Red Sea. As the lake completely receded, Duke Alfred saw a large door beneath the water and narrowed his eyes. "Let's go, Virgo."

"And you all, return and wait for my return," the Duke commanded the Sun Knights and Ragnold before diving into the emptied lake. As Ragnold quickly left, Duke Alfred leapt into the now-empty lake.

Upon landing, the ground cracked, and Virgo descended beside him, gracefully approaching the door. Virgo first extended his index finger, examining the door with curiosity.

"This door has Faerie Magic on it. Seems like this will be tough," Virgo said wisely. Duke Alfred, ignoring this, quickly drew Galentine and sliced through the intricately gold-embroidered white door as if it were paper.

As the door fell back, Duke Alfred looked at Virgo mockingly. "Maybe instead of trying to solve everything like an old scholar, you should consider simpler but effective approaches."

"Remember, my Lord, the pen is mightier than the sword," Virgo smiled. Duke Alfred smiled back, saying, "Those words only hold meaning for the weak. Know that no scholar, philosopher, Lord, or even a King can survive against a sharp sword."

Duke Alfred smirked and stepped through the door. Virgo sighed and chuckled calmly, following the Duke. As they passed through, the winds returned the door to its place, and flames welded the door shut, merging it once again.

As the lake returned to its normal state, the Duke and Virgo advanced swiftly through the dark, narrow dungeon. The lights Virgo had summoned illuminated the lake while the dungeon still looked as well-kept as ever.

For a dungeon that had existed for centuries, it was remarkably clean. White pathways and beautifully decorated wall murals adorned the space. Strangely, there wasn't even a single cobweb anywhere.

The dungeon expanded with each step the Duke took, until they eventually arrived at a spacious room. Inside were about ten armored knight figures. Their armor was covered in unique Faerie magic, glowing with blue luminescent lines.

"These armors are no ordinary thing," Duke Alfred said, nearly impressed. The Faerie magic on the armors was evident even from here. Just imagining an army clad in these armors reminded Duke Alfred of the might and grandeur of King Arthur's golden age.

Virgo looked around and his eyes widened in curiosity when he saw the knight armors. Stroking his goatee, Virgo's attention turned to the end of the other corridor as he felt a powerful wave of mana emanating from there. "Whatever is at the end of that corridor, my Lord, it must be something significant..."

Duke Alfred nodded and proceeded without waiting any longer. As they moved along the long corridor, they passed at least thirty armored figures. At the end of the corridor, they encountered a massive golem.

The golem must have been made of stone, as it was brown. The smooth, armor-like stones covering its body were incredible, and red-colored runes continuously moved across its body.

The golem held a massive black axe, and its eyes were surrounded by a crimson glow. When the Duke and Virgo entered, its eyes flickered with light.

"Looks like we've woken someone up," the Duke murmured, his eyes scanning the golem calmly. Meanwhile, the golem was already eyeing the Duke and Virgo dangerously.

Virgo smiled slightly and turned to the Duke. "Looks like it'll be easy for you, my Lord. Perhaps it's time for a little warm-up?"

As Duke Alfred slowly drew Galentine, the Golem began to advance threateningly. The Duke looked calm and took slow steps forward.

The Golem clenched its massive hand into a fist and launched an attack at the Duke with inhuman speed. With a simple movement of his sword, the Duke sliced through the Golem's fist, leaving it frozen in confusion, unable to comprehend what had just happened.

"Is that all?" Duke Alfred said with a hint of disappointment. Then, he leapt forward, his sword swiftly cutting an 'X' across the Golem's torso. Though fairy magic shimmered faintly under the onslaught of Galentine's attack, the Golem started healing rapidly.

"So, it can regenerate, can it?" the Duke murmured curiously. After recovering, the Golem struck at the Duke again. With every clash of the Golem's massive axe against Galentine, the giant weapon was pushed back.

The Golem might have been formidable, but it was no match for an ordinary man. Duke Alfred's power was not to be underestimated. The Golem swung its axe downward with such force that the ground cracked beneath it.

The Duke easily dodged the attack, leaping into the air and landing on top of the Golem's head. As he slid Galentine downward from the crown of the Golem's head, he delivered a swift and deep cut.

The Golem shook violently, but the Duke pressed on, swiftly slicing through its legs, sending its upper body crashing to the ground as he stepped back.

"Standing despite such destruction must be a miracle," Alfred said calmly. Unlike ordinary golems, this one was crafted by a skilled hand.

Duke Alfred pondered what he could do to permanently destroy the regenerating Golem. Using Galentine would be easy, but the resulting destruction would be unavoidable.

With a sigh, the Duke decided to handle it the old-fashioned way: by dismembering the Golem beyond its ability to heal.

Gripping his sword firmly, Alfred observed the Golem's movements, waiting for the right moment to strike. The Golem launched a heavy punch in his direction. Alfred swiftly sidestepped and slashed his sword at the Golem's arm.

As the Golem's arm was severed, the fairy runes on it began to dim.

The Golem threw another punch. This time, Alfred struck its fist, severing the arm once more. Again, the runes lost more of their brightness.

When Duke Alfred noticed the Golem's healing process slowing down, he felt satisfied and launched another assault.

Alfred focused on the creature's joints and head. The Golem took another step, attacking heavily once more. Alfred targeted its knee joint this time, causing the Golem to stumble forward.

With its fist still in the air, Alfred quickly moved to its front, then sidestepped at the last moment, causing the creature to lose balance under its own weight. As it staggered, Alfred aimed his sword at the glowing spot on its head. The impact created a crack on the surface, and the Golem's crimson eyes flickered momentarily.

Seeing that beheading the Golem might break the Fairy rune, Alfred delivered another powerful strike to its weak point. This time, his sword shattered the Golem's head completely, and the Fairy rune faded out. The Golem took a few steps back, then its massive body collapsed, scattering stone fragments around.

"As always, that was incredible, Your Grace," Virgo said calmly with a smile. The Duke accepted the compliment as he sheathed his sword.

"I expected King Arthur's dungeon to be more challenging," the Duke remarked. Virgo nodded and, stroking his goatee, stared thoughtfully at the ground. "It's too soon to say, my lord. After all, we have yet to go further down the dungeon."

The Duke nodded in agreement. Then, with Virgo, he walked through the chamber and descended the stairs leading further below Ardun Castle.

As they advanced, the dungeon's size expanded. Even the Duke occasionally couldn't maintain his composure, stopping from time to time to inspect the intricate design of the dungeon.

After a while, Duke and Virgo finally reached the room where the treasure was kept. The Duke raised his eyebrows in curiosity. "I wonder if the treasure is truly as they say."

"If there's a dungeon, there must be treasure, my lord," Virgo said as they entered through the door.
