Dungeon Master Makeup Money (formerly known as Dungeon Master Funding)

The next morning.

Standing in front of the boulders on the meadow, he saw Rio approaching.

It's a really useful ability.

Rio murmured as he looked at the wooden table in front of him.

I don't know when it appeared. It was there when I noticed it, so I had the illusion that it had been there from the beginning. The one I used, I'm under such illusion, that the others are more shocked than I am. I think I should refrain from using it outside in the future.

Place a cup of Sylvia's coffee on the table in the same way as a skill.

“Can I have it, too?”

Mishrina came over there too.

She looked sleepy and seemed to hide her fatigue.

Thank you.

Sylvia didn't make a sound... I put the cup on my mouth without even showing the moment I put it in [out of time]. Claudia is a maid, but she doesn't seem to be around to do another job.

When I drink my coffee, I change my mind and start talking.

I'll check first, but what will happen to him?

At the end of Mishrina's gaze, there was a large rock that sealed Zeon.

Half a day after the appearance of the giant boulder. Sometimes it was close to the city, and the residents complained to the lord, and Mishrina responded to hear about the situation.

"... it's about time."

I checked the state of the boulder with my feelings of apologies.

From the inside, I could feel a weak heartbeat of life. I can't feel it at all while I'm looking at it.

The Zeon inside disappeared.

Apparently, he disappeared from the rock.

If there hadn't been movement for a certain amount of time, I might have set it to change its position.

The state of the boulder was fixed so that it could not escape.

However, because it only sticks to my common sense, I sometimes escape in ways I can't even anticipate.

And you can do things that Zeon wouldn't have expected.

I don't need it anymore.

Wipe off the boulders with a hand.

The plains are spreading, and Mishrina's concerns have been resolved.

This is good, isn't it?

"If it gets wiped out so easily, it will be difficult to explain the situation later..."

I had to ask Mishrina to do it for me. You're supposed to be responsible as a client around here.

Fine, I'll explain it to the lord.

Thank you very much.

"However, I'll let you know what happened... what that man is up to."

"I want to know that, too."

Rio agrees with Michelina.

I ran up to the adventurer to get information.

Is the Emperor's work okay?

"I think it's been years since I became Emperor." The ministers will do a simple job for us, and Catlea will contact us if any problems arise that may require the Emperor. ”

The adventurers who rushed to the rescue had already returned to the Imperial City.

Many of the family returned to the Imperial Castle, and some of them remained nearby as escorts.

Well, if you say so.

When the Trion was defeated, there was a shattered piece of transition crystal left there.

Information cannot be read if it becomes a fragment. That's why I gave up, but when I saw it, Iris noticed.

The labyrinths had transition crystals on each level. There were no such rules, but it was easier for adventurers to conquer them, and it was easier for labyrinth lords to attract them.

Even if the transfer crystal placed on the first floor of the labyrinth is destroyed, there may be a transfer crystal if you go to the next level.

"It was easy for us to move from the first floor to the second floor."

It was a typical cave field, cluttered like a maze, but with a [map], I was able to travel the shortest distance without getting lost.

As a result, it was successful to find the transfer crystals arranged on the second floor.

The transfer crystal also has the function of informing the labyrinth nucleus of who progressed to which level and when. Although limited, it can be said that it is connected to the labyrinth nucleus. Normally, it is a function that cannot be used even by labyrinth lords and labyrinth family members, but Iris was able to interfere with the labyrinth nucleus by using the connections.

The information obtained was fragmentary.

Nonetheless, useful information was obtained on the current situation.

"Let's explain it in order." Zeon interfered in the labyrinths of the city of Dodo before taking action in the Galdis Empire. I transferred part of the management authority of the labyrinth to goddess Ceres, so that she could supply magic power to the labyrinth. "

At the same time that the labyrinth was expanded to its maximum hierarchy, it was charging into the labyrinth core to activate its own abilities.

He changed the "time" within a certain range in the labyrinth.

The set time was just before we took on Aleister's Labyrinth. They also decided that it was dangerous to challenge the enemy's labyrinth. That's why I have insurance that will allow you to come back to life.

Therefore, immediately after the resurrection, I might not remember what happened in the labyrinth, but I could get information on what happened from her if there was Killier who was connected to the goddess Celeste.

However, only Zeon was automatically resurrected. I guess I revived the vassals in a different way.

"Well, is there a way to win against someone who can manipulate freely until such... time?"

If we just defeat them, we can do something about it.

However, there is nothing that can be done if he is resurrected again.

“The method is simple. We need to reduce the number of expanded labyrinths in the world."

Currently, the four labyrinths have expanded to their limits, which is why the [world] and [free] powers have been strengthened.

If three labyrinths are lost, our powers will also be weakened.

If I did, I wouldn't be able to do an automatic resurrection with Free .

Unfortunately, I can't do this right now.

Zeon's weakening means we're still weakened.

I think Zeon might be reading it. If we had any countermeasures in place, we would be the only ones we can weaken. It's just a feeling of being prepared as one of the means.

That's why I have to think about it.....

How do you defeat an immortal like this?

Even if it could be physically defeated, it would be revived.

Even if they can be trapped, they will escape after a certain amount of time.

He may not be immortal, but he is immortal.

"I'll leave that to you." Rather, what I need to know is what he was trying to do here. ”

The transfer crystal found on the first basement floor of the labyrinth was filled with [free] power. The transition crystals and Zeon's [free] ability to move freely through the labyrinth were good compatibility.

Zeon's [Free] cannot be used on a large object like a city.

However, by using the transfer crystal as a catalyst, it was possible to exert a skill force on "a certain range centered on the transfer crystal".

"This is the real thing."

"Eh......"

I'll give it to you, so you can use it as you please.

Place the transfer crystal on the table.

It's a bigger crystal than people, so it would be difficult to carry without magic tools and skills such as storage rings.

I thought you broke it, didn't you?

"The transfer crystal on the first floor is broken."

Otherwise, I couldn't solve the spatial anomaly that was happening in the city of Dodo.

"This is a transfer crystal that was on the second basement floor."

I don't know if it was a spare or an auxiliary role. At least [free] was included, and there was no indication that it was started, so it was collected as a document.

“His ultimate goal is to transfer everything beyond the bottom level of the labyrinth. However, we cannot allow such a grand scheme to be put into practice without testing.”

So I decided to give it a try in the city of Dodo.

However, for Zeon, it was a complete miscalculation that an abnormality would occur in the space after the metastasis.
