As Helora walked in, Briggs and Krotos followed behind her. Helora was correct in her observation, as Orai and I were currently resting our heads on the floor of the Core Room. Since the floor was pa.s.sively infused with magic, it was not only comfortable to us but it helped reduce any fatigue that we experienced. Since I incurred a large amount of fatigue from editing Obsidian, it was essential that I fully recovered before the challenge began. According to Hidarus, if fatigue ever gets to 100%, I will be rendered immobile for a number of minutes. The last thing that I wanted to do was collapse while fighting in the challenge. As unprofessional as it may have looked, it was the most effective means of replenis.h.i.+ng my ability to summon. Obviously, once I get more DP, I can purchase items and structures that can do that more effectively.

"If I had to make a guess, I would say he used his summoning powers since Obsidian has wings now. Judging from the quality of the process, I would say he used a large amount of his allotment. I mean, he used all those materials at DL 24", Briggs stated.

Briggs walked from behind Helora, with the new, custom version of Miller's sword in his hand. It looked more...sinister. The sword was completely matte-black, featuring a black demon skull covering the Hilt and a large, closed eye in the middle of the sword. It also faintly alternated between the colors of Red and Blue. As Briggs got closer to me, these colors began to s.h.i.+ne brighter.

"Is that the new sword? Looks pretty epic. What's with the giant eye though?", I asked.

"Well, since you are a summoner, I thought it would be appropriate to add some more demon components to the sword. I had some leftover from my last Dungeon a.s.signment, which wasn't too fancy of a material. Despite this, the demon in the sword reacted more...positively than I expected so...yeah. It has an eye now. That's a thing. I made the matte-black skull that you see on the hilt but the eye began to gradually grow. This is the first time it's started to glow different colors so I guess it worked out?", Briggs said.

Briggs handed me the Demonic Sword, which began to glow a bright red before eventually switching to a more faint blue. As I felt the sword and touched the weird eye, I decided to give it a name.

"Thank you, Briggs! This sword shall be named 'Conquerer'. I can't believe it came out so go-"

"FOOL! You dare try to name the devourer of souls? The man who served under the Overlord Of h.e.l.l! The man who was tricked into being sealed into this G.o.d d.a.m.n sword?! Know the name of Vargoz...please?", Vargoz said.

"Uh...what the h.e.l.l was that? I thought he could only talk to me telepathically? And what's with that personality?", I questioned.

"Oh! I see what's happening! Your Dwarf friend messed up the combination process! He must've purified the Demon Parts he used. I think you accidentally purified a section of his personality. From what I remember, Vargoz was more of the 'Kill all your family and then eat them in front of you while laughing' type of person. The fact that he actually talked like a regular person is pretty rare", Helora said.

The Demonic sword, who named itself Vargoz, rapidly opened his giant red eye. Startled, I dropped the sword from my hand but the sword began to float before it hit the ground.

"Yes, s.e.xy succubus! Now bring me my G.o.d d.a.m.n sacrifices before I rip your f.u.c.king soul out of your chest! But also, I don't why I'm always like this since I respect Succubi for running the brothels in h.e.l.l. Have you ever tried the Succubus special? They always bring the Succubi with the biggest pair of oppai!", Vargoz said.

"Wait a minute! I know that special! That's my favorite one!", Vrudius said.

"Really, Vrudius? C'mon man. I thought you said you weren't perverted. You're not even helping your case right now", I said.

"Interesting scene to walk into. Not only does Obsidian have the dark version of my wings but we now possess a talking, demonic sword? This is a rather interesting Dungeon indeed", Krotos stated.

"Enough of this talking bulls.h.i.+t! Let's get to the task at hand! I heard about the Hidarus Challenge, you pieces of f.u.c.king filth. Find solace in knowing that I'm willing to aid you in this challenge. I'm willing to work with others if it means I get fed with numerous showers of souls and blood! I also know that this surprisingly decent Dungeon Master is a summoner who is worthy of me. I can sense the potential from within him. Yes! Either he'll be the evilest being Orune has ever known or he will save it from utter f.u.c.king destruction. Either way, I can tell that this Dungeon Master will commit many murders in the name of the Dungeon. That's the type of Master I can get behind! Miller may have been a good partner up to this point but he was kind of a p.u.s.s.y a.s.s b.i.t.c.h. I can't believe that b.i.t.c.h a.s.s shopowner sold me to a b.l.o.o.d.y C rank! If I ever see that idiot again, I'm cutting off his arms and legs and feeding it to my friend, Cerberus!", Vargoz said.

"Vargoz, if we are going to work together, you need to follow all of my orders. Other than that, I should be able to help you with your bloodthirsty habits. You scratch my back, I'll scratch yours...metaphorically of course. Otherwise, I'm just purifying you until you submit", I said.

"I got it! I got it! You didn't even have to threaten me! Vrudius and Jordan are my favorite companions. I like the color of your souls. They look...nice. Let's kill women and children together under the blood moon while Hidarus gives his blessing! Ahem! Sorry, force of habit. No purification is needed, my friends! Hahaha!", Vargoz laughed.

With all the important members of the Dungeon around me, I decided it was finally time to start the meeting and plan out what we were going to do against Hidarus.

At least, that was the plan before a large Hologram appeared before us.

It was obvious to all of us who the man was.

The Dungeon attached the following information as the Hologram began:
