Chapter 11: Dungeon!!! (1)
Luna and Noel were currently in front of a nice little village. The houses were tepees and had tribal patterns on them. Kids were playing with each other, the women were doing domestic chores and some men were watching all over them.
It felt like those typical scenes that would appear before some disaster happening to it causing the MC, who lived in the village, have a goal for revenge. Well, that only happens to HUMAN protagonists. No author would want to write about a goblin--
'Wait, there are at least two Japanese LN's with goblins as protagonists.' Luna got lost in her thoughts just as she usually did. Noel sighed at this. He had Tsu'ro lead the two of them to the elder's abode while he dragged Luna with them.
They were a strange sight to the goblins, after all, you wouldn't normally see a pair of white-haired, blue-eyed siblings with pitch black tails sectioned like bone and one of them was dragging the other. Even this was a rare sight in the Demon Plane.
It only took a few minutes before they arrived in front of large-sized tent that had the same tribal patterns as the other tepees. Its size compared to the other homes showed that someone important probably lived in it.
Tsu'ro brought them inside a tent. It was decorated with different kinds of animal and fiend heads. Some had horns and pointlessly large fangs. Others had 9 eyes while more had 3. On the floor was a giant bear rug that covered the entire earthen floor.
Sitting in the middle of that bear rug was an elderly goblin sitting cross-legged with a staff at his right side. The goblin had a long white beard that could probably reach the floor even if he stood up and was wearing a simple grey robe. Luna had already snapped out of her thoughts when they came inside the house but fell back into them when she saw the elderly goblin.
'Goblin Gandalf!' And thus she fell into the abyss once again.
"I have returned, Elder Gan'dalf."
'Even the names are basically the same!' She fell even further this time.
Gan'dalf rose his head and stared at the trio. But Noel noticed that his attention was mostly grabbed by him and Luna. And he could sense a hint of fear and awe in them. But it then disappeared as quickly as it had surfaced as he stood up from his position.
He was taller than your average goblin and his height was of that of a regular human. His staff was made out of wood and had a black gem that Noel noticed had some kind of weird power. He made sure to put up his guard against this old goblin.
The elder goblin said nothing and only made a hand sign to Tsu'ro that signified to follow him. They went through the back of the tent and walked at least 5 km in walking distance before finally seeing the dungeon.
It was beautiful, awe-inspiring, marvelous, astral, unreal, other words for describing beauty. Just to fully describe its grandeur with common words, you would need words that mean the same thing just to describe it. But if you still wanted to describe it in one word, then that word would be...
「Phantasmagorical」
It only looked to have 50 floors yet it had the illusion that it could pierce through the clouds and shatter the purple skies. At times it seemed to be pure black but to others, it would look as if it was glowing purple with a kingly aura.
"Here is the tower, Luna-sama, Noel-sama--"
Tsu'ro wasn't able to continue his unfinished sentence due to him being dragged out of nowhere by two pairs of hands into the dungeon entrance. The elder goblin just watched the scene as if it had nothing to do with him.
As he saw the three silhouettes disappear through the entrance of the tower, he cast a spell from the Invidia tree. Black soul energy coalesced together and then shot out from his stall and then enveloped the tower. The tower then slowly faded away into the scenery, as if it didn't exist at all.
After Gan'dalf was done with that, he wiped the sweat that formed on his brow and then let out a long sigh.
"*Sigh...* If I knew Lord Greed and Esteemed Lord Envy had reincarnated and researched more about the illusions in the Invida Tree, I would have been able to help her at least. Well, I only discovered that illusions could be made in the Invidia tree 20 years ago. I shouldn't be bothered by this matter."
He then turned around and made way for his tent.

A bluish-white portal appeared out of nowhere and three figures fell out of it.
"F*ck!"
"Language."
"Owie."
The figures were obviously; Luna, Noel, and Tsu'ro. Luna was forced to bear the fate of being the first to fall, thus allowing the other two to use her as a cushion. They hurriedly got off her and the trio then examined the room they were in.
The room was a deep purple and was shaped like a circle. It was about 40 square meters in diameter and about 20 meters in height. There was a giant symbol of a white eye that was painted on the floor. On the sides of the room were a total of 12 circular pillars which had the equal amount of distance between them. There were also black chains tying them to one another and had skull-shaped candle holders lit with blue flames on them.
In front of them was a wooden door whose width had fully occupied the space between the pillars and hight had reached the ceiling. There was a gargantuan black skull floating with purple flames, instead of the blue that were radiating off the candles.
「Welcome, Challengers.」When the skullmoved its jaw bone, an eerie deep voice had come out of it. It was the kind that you would expect from a random floating skull.
「This is the tower of Vengeance. Its treasures will--」
Unfortunately, he wasn't allowed to fill the room with his self-proclaimed majestic voice, when a long black whip had slithered like a snake and wound around his jaw bone and then cracking down, causing it to rip away his prized bone.
He didn't even have time to complain about the situation when a magic bullet filled with Greed had run through his eyesockets. When it passed through his eyesocket, he could feel some of his flames that were powered by his soul energy, had been absorbed.
He fell to the ground with a loud 'clank' and stared at the devils in front of him. His shivers intensified when he saw one of them with a wide grin on its face while the other had a mask on his face, he could see the sense of excitement in his eye. Meanwhile, a certain goblin was eating a snack called a 'churro' in the back watching the entire scene unfold.

Lunu
Lunu I will probably switch between the English names of the sins and their Latin counterparts.
