Dungeon Master Makeup Money (formerly known as Dungeon Master Funding)
Episode 31: Possession Escape
Upon awakening consciousness, he slowly rises from the shadow of the trash can.
"Chip, you're in trouble."
Alley with auction venues.
I tongue as I stare at the venue.
Instead of the aristocrats at the auction venue, they were stretching their orange hair to blush in shattered clothes that were more blurry than the civilians walking around, dirty all over their bodies and clothes. I usually lived in a slum and rarely washed my body, etc.
A man in the wrong place to be in a brilliant place in the heart of the Empire. I was in the alley on the evidence, but the people who saw me in the alley from the main street are talking to Hisohiso without hiding their disgust.
I was the one who used [possession] skills, and I was just returning from the other person's body who was letting me dive into the auction venue.
"I knew he existed..."
I knew there were irregulars like them who said they were new emperors and acquaintances thanks to the fact that they also assisted the Thief Brothers at the party venue.
If they're like me, it's easy to catch a thief with a blade like me.
I've been doing business with people like nobles and big merchants who have money.
Given its track record, waiting for it after being caught is not a simple death.
Running away was a smart choice.
Still, I tried many times without giving up because I wanted to succeed in this job.
The people who were allowed to dive into the auction venue could be designated as my possessor, I don't know why, but they couldn't be possessed. It's also hard to make them dive in anew in a place where security is so tight.
"I can't be caught here."
Glimpse of the auction venue from behind the alley and turn back on your heels.
I've failed today, but I still have tomorrow.
"You can't come after me if you travel this far away in an instant."
Unstoppable opponent.
Driven by the urge to just escape, I move my legs with the heart to get away from the auction venue as soon as possible.
"I'm sorry, but I'm not."
I hear voices coming from the front as I walk down.
The red-haired girl stood with her hands on her hips if she raised her face.
A fellow man who interrupted me many times and just got stuck in front of me.
"Duh, why...! You're in a place like this!?
Opposite where Ira is - he tries to rush out towards the boulevard.
"Yes, stop"
I ran over the roof to get there. I stand in front of the man and block the road to the main street.
Left and right are blocked by the walls of the building, with Ira in the back and me standing in front.
The man's escape route was completely blocked.
"Shake it for a few dozen seconds...... that's fine, right?
This is the first time I've had this conversation with the person, although I was having a conversation via Cayenne who was possessed.
"Oh, yeah"
Nod like a man gave up.
Immediately after confirming that Cayenne's consciousness has returned to him, he leaves the scene in a great hurry to go to where he is.
Don't forget to send Ira to stop you at that time.
When I found out where he was in advance, I contacted him and told him to talk, so I told him to wait, so he was able to get there faster than me.
"How did you know where I was?
If Cayenne's whereabouts, you can tell by keeping an eye on the auction products.
However, a man who was confident in his skills had no idea why this place was known.
"We have a little special skilled demon on our side."
My shadow shakes like a lilac.
A demon in the shape of a black-faceless man emerges from the shadows - Shadowgenger.
I usually watch from within the shadows as an escort to a family with no combat ability, but even if the situation for them living in a deep hierarchy where no one would otherwise visit was just a boring escort task waiting for something to happen, waiting for Shadowgenger's turn was so popular.
Waiting in that order summoned up one of my spare time.
Nevertheless, Shadowgenger's role is to let a demon dive into my shadow.
"This is the demon who identified you."
The demon that appeared with Shadowgenger was a man-shaped demon in a purple robe. However, the demon's face was blindfolded, and there was not a single tooth in his mouth that could be peered open thinly.
A man is groaning "hips" at the look that reminds him of the dead.
Necromancer Duke.
A demon of the Necromancer bearing the Duke's name, a demon of the Necromancer system in the Labyrinth is the most powerful class of demons that can put everything under control.
If you hang on to Necromancer Duke, the most powerful class of Necromancer, you can follow him with a sense of where the consciousness that was causing others to possess is going back. When returning from possession to the original body, Necromancer Duke, who lurked in my shadow and hid himself so that his consciousness could be drawn back to the original body, knew exactly the direction and the distance.
After that, we can get Ira ahead of us where she told us, and we can make it easy to capture her if we buy her some time.
"You were a demon!
"Something similar."
I'm a special being who can put all the demons in the labyrinth under control, but I don't need to tell you that much.
"Well, why don't you think it's time to take a look?
The man didn't have the appearance to give up when he said he was completely blocked from escaping.
I move my gaze back and forth restlessly and ask if there's a gap between me and Ira. There are more Ira as a ratio, but that would be because there are two unidentified demons beside me who are samurai and think Ira, a woman, is easier to put in.
But he didn't look alarmed by Ira and was willing to capture her the moment she moved out.
If you can do it, I want to catch you, one of the thieves who made the empire noise, and hand you over to Rio, the emperor. Rio has also asked me to tie him up.
"I understand you can go after me for releasing possession. I also found out more about [possession]. But you don't seem to know everything."
……
I noticed something. Necromancer Duke pulls my suit.
The next moment, the expression falls out of the man in front of you.
"Oh, that...? What the hell am I... Hit!
A man I don't know in front of me. I was frightened that there were more undead demons.
I remember this reaction.
"Was this guy possessed too?"
"Oh, um..."
A frightened man retreats.
But beyond that, Ira is royal and will soon be detained.
The power of a miserable man like the one who lives in a slum prevents him from unwrapping Ira's restraints and makes him drool.
"Can you explain who you are?
"Yes......!
A man explains it as he odds.
The man lived in a slum originally in the Empire City, and was not the kind of person to come to the heart of the Empire City, nor was he going to come.
But the guy who suddenly showed up a week ago offered me a reward, so I asked him to stay here for just a few days of the auction. I took any job if I could even get paid for a man who is a slum resident who also has trouble with his daily life.
The man who held the request to the man in front of him is the one who possesses real [possession] skills.
"Why did they tell you to stay here?
"And I don't know... I was just asked to stay"
It doesn't look like you're lying to a man.
I'm looking at Flitchy and Necromancer Duke and Shadowgenger as I explain the situation. I can't help but be frightened because I look like a horrible demon.
"What do you think?
Ira asks while strangling a man with wings.
"There are two possibilities."
Melissa, who was peeking into the situation, gives me a guess.
"The first possibility is to leave someone acting like a shadow fighter behind in case there were irregulars like us."
Now we mistake the man who is strangled with wings in front of us for himself. You can say that your role as a shadow warrior has served you well enough.
"The other is if it was necessary to use [possession]."
"Needed?"
"We need to place these auction venues close to where we can see them… [Possession] if there was a distance limit, etc."
Our knowledge of [possession] was taught by the labyrinth nucleus.
Knowledge of the labyrinth nucleus is also obtained from the power of demons that can use [possession] that are in the labyrinth, so there may be disadvantages and limitations that occur if humans have them.
"It may also be possible for Necromancer Duke to tell me where to run away and chase me..."
In situations where it was not known how many people were placed, there was also the possibility that they would chase after each other.
I have to think of something else.
