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

We reached the bottom of the tenth basement.

There is a metal door in front of me that looks sturdy.

"With that said, I've never challenged a boss in our labyrinth before, but there's a boss ahead of us, right?"

As Sylvia said, the sturdy door in front of you is a door to make it easier to understand that it is the boss room.

No, there are cases where the exit was blocked on the fifth basement floor, so it may not be generally a boss room, but I can see from the touch that it is no different from the door in front of the boss room in Alistair's labyrinth.

After the fifth basement floor, we were able to reach it safely without the seemingly stoppage.

"That's right. There's a boss behind this door."

"How come you haven't challenged the boss before?

I've exorcised the boss who came out of the boss room, and I've never challenged him to the boss room.

The reason is simple.

"Because the disadvantages are bigger than the pros."

Benefits are more experience than usual gained by defeating the boss. And rare materials are available, and occasionally crates are dropped. This remains the same when we Labyrinth officials crusade.

The downside is the magic power to invoke such an advantageous demon. The chances of dropping a crate are also quite low, so if it sticks to get a rare item over and over again, it is more likely to be quicker to use the Labyrinth Operation: Crate (Treasure Box).

Therefore, judging overall, the taste is not good.

If you just move on to it, you can go anywhere in Alistair's labyrinth with a transfer.

But in the Imperial Labyrinth, we can't move on without defeating the boss.

"This is my first boss crusade, too. I don't know what I'm doing, so thank you for your support."

"Yes."

"Yes, sir."

I also got recognition from Sylvia and Melissa, so I push open the heavy door.

Inside, it is about fifty meters wide, allowing you to move around and fight, unlike the passage of the cave.

Boss, it's Minotaur in the center of the room.

A man with a cow's face, a giant body, nearly three meters long.

Such a demon stood firmly on two legs, with a big axe in his hand directed at us, the intruder to be eliminated.

Boss, if you don't defeat the demons in your room, the transfer magic formations leading to the lower level are not going to start, and any adventurer who is about to advance to the next level must always defeat the boss. But, boss, the entrance to the room is left open, which doesn't mean you can't escape, so you can try again and again.

The purpose of the labyrinth is to gain magic from visiting intruders.

By placing a strong demon in this way, the goal is to stop the intrusion and make the boss try again and again.

It doesn't make sense to be weak but easily defeated, if you're too strong, you give up your challenge to the labyrinth and stop trying.

Just a little stronger, you can defeat demons in the labyrinth and raise the level.

It's best to set it to about that strength.

"Minotaur."

Perform an immediate appraisal.

Level is ten. We're not that strong if we think of ourselves as a criterion.

"There was interference in the basement on the fifth floor, so I thought the boss had a strong demon, but he didn't."

"What about that?

Looks like Melissa noticed.

It's not an enemy to us.

But he's a formidable enemy for a rookie like the one who challenges the boss on the 10th floor underground.

"Probably, but the kids I just met are on a level I'll never win"

Do you always have such a strong enemy?

The answer is no.

We have a strong demon as our boss to stop us. But if it was too strong, it would be far from the original labyrinth, so I suppressed it to strength that wouldn't be strange to come out critical. Minotaur himself is a strong demon in that evidence, but the levels are kept to a minimum.

Looks like he's willing to follow some rules.

"Slash."

Pull the sword out of the sheath.

Minotaur, who saw that figure, sticks an axe in his hand.

Flip yourself to avoid the Minotaur progression. Keep going toward Sylvia in the back, but get slashed and blood flowing from your arms at the same time as you dodge.

"It's been a long time since I've had a big beef. I'll cook you a delicious meal, so please calm down."

Close in slowly with a smile.

The expression clearly belonged to a cook I didn't even want to get close to.

"Wait a minute!

"What is it? We need to dismantle the ingredients now."

For Sylvia, Minotaur was already seen as an ingredient, not a boss.

I have no objection to defeating them as ingredients either.

But at any rate, I want to aim for extreme elegance.

"Boss can drop rare items after defeating them"

It was prepared by the Labyrinth Lord to challenge the Labyrinth many times.

In the present situation, there will be no such thing as dropping rare items because the Cattlemen are manipulating the odds, but it should be difficult to interfere with the Minotaur itself, which has already emerged.

"What do you mean?

"Sometimes the boss's demon itself can be a rare material. I guess regular minotaurs get regular beef, but rare can be superb meat."

I want superb meat if I'm going for it.

We can't imitate things like challenging the boss over and over again in our own labyrinth.

But if it's the kind of situation where the person you have to defeat is right in front of you, you should aim for rare items.

"So use God's Luck"

"Oh, is that skill valid in these situations?

I don't even know the neighborhood.

Confirming the skill's effect description doesn't simply say 'luck goes up' and it says something about specific activation conditions.

Since such vague descriptions are not uncommon, it is necessary to grasp how to use them while only gaining minimal knowledge and exploring them on your own when you acquire your own skills.

In Sylvia's case, the confirmation was not that far.

"Because of this, let's try our luck"

"Yes."

The next moment, Minotaur's neck falls to the ground.

That's the easiest way to get meat.

Which one?

Check the state of minotaurs using the appraisal.

It had already turned into 'fine meat (beef)' instead of 'minotaur'.

"Was superb meat just too much to want?"

"But even fine meat should be traded at a high price"

"Right. If you can afford money, you can't afford it now, but it's hard to find out if your village daughter still has a sense of money."

Melissa is familiar with the market from the beginning, and Sylvia is familiar with it because she usually buys it out when it comes to ingredients.

"So you've never eaten before?

"No, I used fine meat at times such as parties. Exactly. I wish I could have gotten superb meat because I didn't get it because it wouldn't be on the market."

I can't help what I didn't get.

By the way, crates with rare items don't appear. With any luck, they're supposed to show up, but I don't think they're going to let the chest out here because it doesn't look like that.

"Maybe we should just move on."

'Right. While you were in the mood, Rio and the others reached the eleventh basement and gave up today's quest. "

I can hear reports from Ira, who was monitoring the Rio's trends.

"How long ago?"

"About an hour ago"

"However, as soon as I confirmed that the eleventh basement floor was Meadow Field, I left."

"I think it's time to go home."

It's only the first day.

You don't even have to rush that far to proceed with the offense.

He starts by knocking down the boss and rides over the glowing Transition Magic Formation.

The view in front of you changes in an instant, from a dim cave to a meadow lit by the sun.

"Sounds like Theory Street about the structure of the labyrinth."

"What will you do today?

"I can see what's happening on the eleventh basement floor, and we'll go home once we get there."

Approaching the metastatic crystals that were installed about ten meters away.

With this, we can go back to the first basement of the labyrinth.

'Cause the five of us who were in the offensive in this labyrinth are home. Isn't that a tough decision?

... Mm, five?
