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

Mauria Volcano.

It is a huge volcano that exists about 50 kilometers north of the port.

It looks like a gentle mountain with a diameter of 10 kilometers and an altitude of about 3,000 meters. Compared to ordinary mountains, the slopes are gentle, and it seems that lava reached the port town in the past when there was an eruption. The Fire Dragon has greatly benefited from being able to flourish as a tourist destination.

Due to its size and scale, lava initially erupted and deposited, and when it cooled, the earth was created around it.

The city of Mauria is like renting land to a volcano.

"It's hot..."

I hit my body with a cold wind that was generated by magic because I couldn't stand the heat. I don't want a moment of something that will make me feel comfortable.

"Melissa, let's cool it down with magic."

"Don't be ridiculous."

Shall I freeze it with magic all at once?

"You don't have to do such a waste of time."

Iris could freeze the whole mountain with magic. However, if you do that, you can't ignore the consumption of magic power, and the frozen earth will melt over time.

Like Melissa said, it was a waste of magic.

“Well, Noel, if it rains, it'll be a little cooler.”

Well, it should be more comfortable now, but can I let it rain artificially in a place like this?

With Noel's [Weather Control], it could rain as well.

However, if it rains in places where it rarely rains, it will have a great impact later.

It was an unusable skill except in an emergency.

I guess we'll have to head down the tunnel.

If you only travel long distances, it's not impossible to use a skill to move around.

However, there is a reason why this is not possible on the road.

Sounds like you've never seen a face.

Ah, ahh

I couldn't realize how distracted my consciousness was from the heat until I got close enough to talk.

Even though I'm approaching such a distance, I feel suspicious if I move away. I plan to stay for a few days, so I have to build a good relationship with local adventurers.

I was talking to a big guy with a big handful of pelicans. It can be said that it is heavy equipment, and there are many parts of the breastplate that protect the emergency location and expose the burned skin on a certain day.

The man with the big bowl looked like a leader, and behind him were nine muscular adventurers. If everyone is in the same party, it is a party with 10 people and a large number of people.

“Yeah, I just got here a while ago and decided to climb the volcano in a bit of a sightseeing mood.”

I fell asleep when I was being asked to do so.

“Stop it, this is not a sightseeing climb.”

Zergen!

"Oh, you're here."

A man with a big pigeon called by his people - Zergen leaves us and puts the pigeon in position.

The desolate earth of the volcano surrounded it, and no monsters could be seen.

In the distance, they fought monsters. However, on the road to the volcano, you can see many adventurers who are not fighting, some of whom are protected from tension.

Down there.

Yes.

Sylvia stayed down the whole time. She was picking up signs of a monster moving underground.

If I felt the ground shaking slightly and turned my consciousness into the ground, I could capture the existence of "something" moving at high speed in the ground.

Shortly after, the worm-shaped monster, the sandworm, cracked the ground and appeared.

Even if it is called a worm, it is incomparably large compared to ordinary worms, and even the average size is 20 meters, and if it becomes strong enough to be called a main, it may grow up to 5 times.

This time, an average-sized sandworm came out. Even if it was an underground raid, it would be familiar to the adventurers of Mauria, so they dodged it calmly and caught up with the raid.

"Hey, don't do it so badly."

I was pushed in, but I still tried to push the sandworm back with my strength in my hand.

Forged power. Above all, there was a technique that was different from the pure power of the sandworms, because they had competed with each other many times.

While you're holding back, your allies hurt the Sandworm with their weapons. They are all armed and intend to attack where they have stopped moving.

Green blood flows from the attacked sandworm's body, and eventually falls and becomes immobile.

Alright, today's harvest is excellent.

Harvest?

"That's right. This meat isn't praised for its taste, but it's treasured because of the quantity." And even the liver is the ingredient of the medicine. Just hunting one of them makes a lot of money. "

The environment near the volcano is not suitable for agriculture, and the presence of monsters makes it dangerous.

It would be helpful for the islanders to have meat on a regular basis.

But isn't it dangerous?

Sandworms are not easy to defeat.

It seemed like they could easily defeat it this time, but it was just that they knew how to crush the Sandworm.

"Well, thanks to the methods that have been told for a long time." I was born and raised on this island, and I'm just doing what adventurers of my generation have taught me. "

I didn't stop training my body so that I could carry out the method.

He was appreciated for being a soldier on the island. Relying on the power of the labyrinth, which I could have accidentally acquired, I couldn't be as strong as a soldier, no matter how much I trained.

Let's dismantle it and take it home.

The weakness of the sandworm is that it is hard to hit the surface of the body, but it is weak to be struck, so if it takes some damage, it will die.

Because of that weakness, my body remained intact.

However, even if the storage ring is used, it cannot be stored as is. I had no choice but to cut off my body and take it home.

They wander off with their accustomed hands.

Let me see how it goes. We don't know what will help us investigate the Fire Dragon, so we'll be gathering whatever information we can on Maui.

Zergen, was that you?

Yeah, I noticed that.

Apparently, I had noticed it before I cautioned, with a rugged expression - pointing down into the ground.

All aborted.

"Mr. Zergen, this reaction..."

Oh, I'm sure the next one has arrived.

A new sandworm has appeared in the ground.

Multiple reactions can also be felt. Unfortunately, because it is in the ground, I could not obtain more information than "multiple".

Two of them.

However, Sylvia seemed to be firmly grasped and asserted.

Zergen was also told that he would definitely say so.

"Damn, there's more than one...!?" Come on, let's get out of here. "

The sandworms that were being dismantled were still trying to retreat.

Are you running away?

“Yeah, we basically only hunt one body at a time.”

Basically, Zergen stops the Sandworm from moving, and the rest of the team builds up damage and crushes it.

Because it was their way of crusading, they could not simultaneously target multiple sandworms.

"It's a waste to leave your prey behind, but I can't replace my life, so I have to throw it away."

Only part of it was really able to be stowed away because it was still in the process of being dismantled.

While one stops moving, if it is attacked by another sandworm, the formation may collapse and lead to annihilation.

So their choice is right.

”... I mean, you can do something with just one body.”

Yeah.

“We're going to make our debut on Maui.”
