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

Day three of exploring the ruins.

I was watching the adventurers go into the ruins last night while eating the rest of the dinner I prepared to welcome the Illistia party for breakfast.

This is how I learn to just watch the adventurers.

Many adventurers had large baggage.

He's going to stay in today on the third day, considering he was just carrying a bigger backpack until yesterday.

I saw it and noticed that I can't see Leflan buying the map from Illistia. You can't be not challenging the ruins because you even bothered to buy the map. Perhaps only the Lefrans are staying in from within yesterday to challenge the ruins.

Well, we'll try the ruins for breakfast.

Attacks on the first and second floors could have been done easily, sometimes with maps already completed.

And when you go up to the third floor...

"Damn!

"What, these numbers...!

"The hell I'm not strong..."

"Let's retreat anyway"

Three avant-garde men and a wizard woman were being attacked by zombies about 30 meters away.

Zombies can be defeated without difficulty if they are adventurers strong enough to be asked to explore the ruins because they are not so strong.

The problem is, they're attacking us.

Where the adventurers were, it was a straight hallway, with tons of zombies falling into an avalanche to fill the hallway.

"I've been looking at about 50 bodies."

"We would have already defeated some of them, so weren't they attacked by more numbers at first?

I know what Melissa's trying to say.

The equipment of adventurers fleeing the hordes of zombies is all worn out. I'm pretty sure it's already worn out.

It's easy to help you.

What we have to worry about here is that other adventurers are in the midst of fighting demons.

It's the same in the labyrinth, but there's something called manners that adventurers have to protect.

One of them is that other adventurers must not take away the demons they are fighting.

I can't let them complain about joining me here as a help to people and taking my prey away from me later.

Ma, I'm an adventurer from the same Alistair, so I don't have a choice to abandon you from the beginning.

"Do you need help?

…… Please, help me!

You were desperate to escape the zombies, you didn't realize we were here. An adventurer finally realizes by calling out to us, he asks us for help.

Now I've got the word.

"Melissa."

"Yes."

Nearly fifty zombies are the demons chasing adventurers.

The best way to be sure is to destroy it with the magic of great firepower.

"Flare Tornado"

"Clear Sanctuary"

Wait for the adventurers to escape behind us and unleash their magic towards the masses of zombies.

From my hand, a tornado of flames swallows a swarm of wild zombies.

The wide area magic of the light attribute that purifies Melissa's activated undead soul goes all the way down the hall and the zombies disappear without trace.

- Cologne. Cologne.

The only thing left is the demon stone that was in the body of the zombie.

Zombie Demon Stones that can appear in the Labyrinth also lose the quality of Demon Stones because the strength of the individual cannot be set so strongly. However, the quality of the demonic stones appears to be good even though the zombies appearing in the ruins are comparable or weak to the labyrinth.

Plus, I wiped out 50 of them at once.

"Thanks"

The adventurer who helped is approaching.

I once talked about it in a liquor store, but I can't remember my name because I had a drink and I'm not so sure of my memory.

"No, I'm an adventurer working in the same city, so it's natural."

"Ha ha, is this the strength of the guy who defeated just a thousand demons"

He looks at the demonic stone rolling on the floor, thanking him with a smile.

The emotions that dwell in those eyes are jealousy and envy.

"According to the rules, demon stones are ours, right?"

"Oh, you're the ones who responded to me for help. Whatever you want."

"We'll keep the collection."

"Please."

Sylvia moves to retrieve the Demon Stone because of her inability to help in the battle, and Ira and Melissa are wary of any other demons appearing.

I am surprised to see the sight of the demonic stones rolled on the floor by the adventurers disappearing somewhere one after the other. I guess adventurers with storage rings rarely have the sight to disappear into the void because they're really top notch.

"More than that, there are so many demons on the third floor of the ruins."

"It's not like that. Apparently there's a lot of demon rooms."

"Demon Room......"

A troublesome room exists.

The Demon Room is a room where a large number of demons appear the moment they enter a large room. Being a labyrinth owner because it's also a room in the labyrinth, I know exactly how it works.

However, as a labyrinth lord, I have never encountered a demonic room that is a trap because it has a 'labyrinth adaptation' that doesn't activate it.

Yes, when I hear it, I want to open it even though I know it's the same room with the crate and the trap is set.

"What do you guys want to do now?

"We're going home."

Probably going to finish exploring the ruins themselves as well as finishing today's exploration.

"A few minutes before I entered the demon room, I saw an awesome adventurer who I had never seen in Alistair go to the back. Rumor has it that some of them have been staying in and exploring since yesterday."

You mean Illistia and Leflan.

"Exploring the ruins is at its deepest. If you defeat the boss and get the treasure, that's it. As early as today. The search should be over by tomorrow, even if it's too late."

If we cut off today's exploration, we may not be able to explore tomorrow.

Nevertheless, I can't stop them from trying to cut off their exploration, etc.

"Please be careful on your way home. There may be no demons, but it doesn't mean there's no overlooks."

"I'm fine. I'm still a veteran adventurer, so it's no problem to go back to base."

Their gear was worn out because the zombies kept chasing them.

Any further exploration could be life-threatening.

"We'll go deeper, too."

"Be careful... that might be an unnecessary line for a guy like you"

The adventurers go down the stairs as they wave.

"Your husband..."

Sylvia looks up anxiously after finishing collecting the Demon Stone.

You know what I'm about to do.

"Well, let's go into the demon room"

"Are you sure you want to open it!?

The demon room will not work unless the door is opened.

For this reason, it is normal to leave the door untouched if you know there is a demonic room.

Dare break that Theory from yourself.

"So let's open it"

There was a door about 30 meters walk toward you.

Gacha, and when you open the door... a large magic formation begins to shine light in the center of the room.

"Whew!"

The light emitted from the magic formation fills the room.

Cover your eyes with your hands on your feet to keep your vision from crushing, but your eyes will blink.

After about ten seconds, the light disappeared to be sucked into the magic formation, and there was a demon in the room that rattled rattles and bones instead of light - a skeleton.

The bones look thicker and stronger than the skeletons we see in the labyrinth, but only slightly different from our strength.

"Okay."

I accidentally looked at the skeleton in the room and raised my voice out of joy.

'Cause there's almost a hundred skeletons in front of me.

"That's why I deal with skeletons to earn experience. Melissa bans wide-area magic. crushing skeletons with simple magic to go."

"Yes."

"So let's also try to compete. Who can defeat Skeleton the most"

"Okay."

"Fine."

Sylvia and Ira don't disagree.

But Melissa, sealed to extinction, seems dissatisfied.

"No, I don't mind."

'Cause I'm gonna give the winner his wish as far as I can make it happen.

Of course, I'll let you join me with your status down to about half.

When they heard I was going to get my wish, Sylvia and I were motivated to work hunting.
