Wolfs Garden

Momonga turned to Claire, who seemed to have fallen asleep during Nell's explanation.

"Claire wake up; it's time to go," Momonga said as he woke up Claire.

"H-huh? Oh-" Claire said while rubbing her eyes. She quickly got back onto her feet.

Momonga turned back to Nell.

"Thank you for explaining all that to me; sorry for taking up so much time," Momonga said.

"Oh. No, no, it's fine; it's my job to inform adventures." Nell said.

"Well, I'll be taking my leave now," Momonga said as he opened the door to the adventures guild taking his leave. Claire shortly followed after she said "thank you" to Nell.

Momonga and Claire walk down the road. Though, Claire is unaware of where they are heading.

"Where are we going?" Claire asked curiously.

"Omu, we are heading toward the Demon's Wolfs Garden," Momonga said calmly.

Claire's face seemed to mix disbelief, shock, and confusion.

"We can't go there! It's way too dangerous!" Claire said in a slight panic.

"Hm? Is it that dangerous? If I recall, adventures have traveled that area before." Momonga said.

"It's not the same! They are much higher than us; I know I saw your strength in the forest, but I'm not sure it's enough." Claire said, highly worried about Momonga's safety.

'I know she's worried, but I believe I'll be fine. Though, given the fact that everyone I have met is greatly under-leveled, their terms of strong might be different.'

"I'm going to the garden; if you don't want to come, that's fine; you can wait in the city for me."

Claire puffed up her cheeks in frustration.

"F-fine, I'll wait in the city! But don't you dare get yourself killed out there." Claire said her frustration was getting the better of her, though she realized she couldn't stop Momonga from going.

"Alright, I'll be back in two hours or so. You can wait for me in the town center near the marketplace," Momonga replied.

"Alright…" Claire responded.

Momonga started to walk away; Claire did the same, heading toward the town center.

'Ugh, even though I get her worry, she's a bit clingy. No idea if that'll bite me in my back later on. Anyways, time to head toward the Demons Wolfs Garden, see what I can accomplish.'

Momonga walked through the town, eventually going through the gate. He traveled the long road through the forest, finally reaching a part of the forest that seemed to be deader than the other half.

'Interesting, it seems that wildlife has abandoned this part of the forest for some reason. Could there possibly be a nearby mini-boss, or maybe this area has a passive negative status effect? Though, I probably have resistance to it if that's the case.'

Momonga continued, eventually reaching a clearing that led into a massive plain. Flowers, bushes, and all sorts of sizable rocks covered the area. Momonga could tell there was monster activity because a few monster bodies spread across the plain, and he could see some monsters flying in the sky.

'Oh? This area has some high monster activity though they don't look strong. But that's cause I'm used to Yggdrasil, but that makes me wonder. Are there any Yggdrasil monsters in this world?'

Although Momonga wanted to determine if Yggdrasil monsters were in this world, he remembered coming here to learn more about the dungeon master title.

'I should find a place to activate dungeon master.'

Momonga looked around and spotted a part of the plains with high hills and scattered trees.

'That'll do; if necessary, I can cast illusion magic or create dummy hills to cover up.'

Momonga headed toward the location he saw, reaching it in a few seconds.

'Now let's see how this works.'

Momomga looked at the dungeon master title, then at the associated ability "summon floor 1 of the Great Tomb of Nazarick".

'Does it summon the first floor? I'm afraid to try it out in case something goes wrong. But…'

Momonga hesitated for a few more seconds. But after thinking about it, he decides.

Just then in that moment, Momonga used the ability associated with the dungeon master title. A bright light shrined, blinding everything in a two-mile radius, and when the light dimmed, there was the Great Tomb of Nazarick. However, it was split apart and deconstructed; titles, bricks, etc., all scattered in the air though they are moving as if the Tomb is slowly being built. And in the distance, in the middle of the floor in construction, was a vampire with beautiful adorned clothing and radiant purple, white, and red dress; however, it seems her body is not yet entirely constructed as it's being generated slowly over time.

"Shalltear Bloodfallen?" Momonga said, surprised.
