Chapter 33
”Hey, you forgot about me!” Lena chirped as she flew inside Jake’s chamber.
Vin, who had just come, cried out in surprise as she saw the small creature. ”A fairy!”
Lena proudly smirked and flew over to the table. She curiously looked at the map and then lay on her master’s left armrest.
”Everyone looks serious. Are we gonna do something?” she asked, sucking her forefinger.
”Indeed,” Jake said. He leaned on the table and pointed at one dot on the map. ”This is Erpis, the closest village to our dungeon. Southeast. That is Cherrylife, the village to the east. And this one is Senesten. Northwest. They all fall within the territory of Redwoods forest.”
Jake straightened his body, looked at their eyes, and said, ”We are going to conquer them!”
”Are we expanding the dungeon?” Lena sounded excited.
”Not yet.”
”Master, you’re trying to become the ruler of these villages, right?” Perry asked with a smile.

Jake nodded and his face became more serious. ”The matter of our dungeon spanning in this valley would soon reach the ears of this region’s human nobles. The people in these three villages already know, and I’m sure adventurers from nearby towns like Rustfall or Lagac will soon arrive with swords and shields…”
The girls had grave expressions. Even Vin felt tense somehow.
”I have a way to rapidly arm the dungeon. For that, we need to first take control of the surrounding human settlement. We already have a sizeable group of monsters in our dungeon, and more will flock once the dungeon’s mana density increases.”
”A way to arm the dungeon?” Erin probed curiously.
”Well, let’s just say it’s related to one of my powers.”
Yunna placed a beast scroll on the table at this moment. There were some names written on it.
Jake stood up from his seat and went behind her. Leaning on the back of his succubus servant, he pointed at a name and started giving out orders. ”Erin, you’ll make the village leader of Cherrylife village your blood slave.”
”Vin.” Jake walked to the black-haired girl. He touched her head and said, ”You will assassinate the Senesten village leader and his whole family.
”What…? She took the time to comprehend it. Vin had killed people but never harmed the innocents.
Her face showed a complicated expression as she looked at Jake. Huh? What’s that black shadow in Jake’s eyes…?
[Corruption]
Jake decided to test this skill on her. The moment he did, Vin’s psyche felt a powerful jolt. Her face morphed from time to time, as if she was having an internal battle, questioning her sanity. Vin started muttering as if she was comforting herself and her voice became louder and louder with every passing second.
Black miasma started coming out of her ear-holes and nostrils. The surrounding evil mana seemed to be attracted to her. Jake held her without backing away. He could feel his own demonic powers roused by Vin’s change.
Other women would be horrified if they saw a person’s face being covered by thin intricate patterns and eyes going red. However, those present here were all evil. Even Lena wasn’t scared.
”Hehe… hahaha… Ahahahaha!” Vin sharply laughed, as if she was a villainous woman.
The redness in her eyes slowly became darker and darker until her irises were fully black. Then they became brown again. Her hair became longer and changed from black to dark blue. The patterns on her face disappeared, but Jake could still sense them. If he willed it, he could make those patterns appear.
Vin stopped laughing now and stood up. Her face had a beautiful killer smile now. ”I understand, master. I’ll kill them.”
[Ding! One individual successfully corrupted.]
Looking at her, he could see that she was not afraid of him right now. Instead, he could sense a reverent desire to serve him. Jake was curious and used [Demon Eye] to view her current status.
[Name: Vin Faulkner]
[Species: Human (Corrupted)]
[Rank: 1st Circle]
[Title(s): Corrupted Servant of Jake Farlen (+12 Reputation among demon nobles)]
[Job: Assassin]
[Strength: 134 / Agility: 167 / Stamina: 140 / Vitality: 151 / Intelligence: 149 / Mana: 56 / Charisma: 188 / Will: 146]
[Abilities: Beginner Dagger Mastery (Uncommonーlvl. 8), Stealth (Superiorーlvl. 3), Assassination (Rareーlvl. 1), Theft (Superiorーlvl. 5), Shadowy Movement (Rareーlvl. 4)]
‘So her job changed from being a thief to an assassin after the corruption…’ Jake thought.
Vin had also gained a new skill, [Assassination]. It could be because Jake had told her to assassinate people before corrupting her. That may have had an effect.
Vin left the chamber quickly. Erin glanced behind and turned her head.
‘So she’s the new girl… But I’ll always remain my master’s favorite.’ Erin was confident in herself. No one could snatch that position from her, not even Yunna! Erin had a dangerous glint in her eyes, but she quickly concealed it.
She also stood up and bowed to Jake before turning into a bat and flying away. Her job was simple and she would surely finish it faster than others.
Jake then looked at Perry after Erin left.
”Stay here and direct the orcs and kobolds to dig around the water stream. That hot spring should be made before I return.”
”Are you going out again, master?” Perry looked unsettled.
”I’ll be back in a day.” Jake patted her head and turned to Yunna.
”Come with me,” he said. He now knew just exactly what he should do with the villagers.
Leaving his personal chamber, Jake and Yunna walked on the 7th floor’s tunnels. Lena didn’t follow them and instead kept Perry company.
Previously, there were wooden torches in this tunnel. However, now that the mana had increased, magical torches which Jake had installed lit the area with bright yellow light.
Jake’s and Yunna’s shadows flowed down the corridor as they reached the chambers where the two female adventurers were kept. Yunna was sensitive to anything sexual, so the moment she smelled cum, she began rubbing her hips.
Riri and Diana were talking to each other in hushed voices when they saw the demon enter along with a succubus. As the effect of bewitching eyes had gone, Diana immediately stood up and shielded Riri with her body. She didn’t have her sword, or she would have attacked Jake already. However, she could never harm him after tonight.
”I can’t just leave you two to make trouble in my dungeon, so let’s just corrupt you as well!” Jake put an arm over Yunna’s shoulder and leisurely walked forward.
