Dungeon Master Makeup Money (formerly known as Dungeon Master Funding)
Episode 26: The Doll Gravemark
Peel off any remaining steel fingers from Mr. Ratchett's head as well. Apparently, the tip was piercing the brain, which could have been fatal, but could have been fully healed with the [healing] of Illis.
"Gee ho... what happened to me..."
More importantly, he seems to have recovered consciousness.
"The wound has recovered. But if you lose strength and magic, you need to rest and recover. I know it's okay, but you remember what happened."
Only the treated iris is in this setting.
Remains to confirm as the person who performed the treatment.
"Oh, I remember everything"
I remember everything I was made to do, even though I was manipulated.
"Why did you fight me? If such powerful magic could have been used, wouldn't it have been easy to end the battle?
"In that case, Mr. Ratchett might not be able to help either."
Mr. Ratchett, who was unsuitable as a wizard in a pure sense.
Still, the resistance to magic is strong because it does not change that you are a wizard. That is as strong as the Lord of Ruins intends to shield against [Abyss Magic].
So I don't want to be a shield, I needed to make it weak enough to slip through even if it was a shield.
"He was draining a lot of magic in his battle with me."
With less magic, the thickness of the shield was also diminished.
Because it was in such a state, the Lord of the Ruins decided to [Abyss Magic] himself, also forgetting the existence of the shield.
"Looks like you've given me a lot of attention."
"This is like what we do. If you're grateful, make sure you report that we're not responsible for missing one."
"Absolutely. Let me do that."
This request. I'm pretty sure it wasn't possible just for Mr. Ratchett and Brian. I need you to be useful for a little while.
"So, what are the other guys doing?
Only the three of us are in the fifth tier.
After the battle, I have a job I left to Mr. Ratchett, who lost his mind, while he was in his arms.
"More than that, let's get out of here."
Three devices were fully operational when I took Mr. Ratchett down to the fourth level.
"Are you sure?
Melissa asks toward the device.
There are also three Sylvias beside Melissa.
"Yes, I don't mind."
Resolute ruins.
The device, which was running enough to sound a heavy bass, slowly stops.
'I was also able to finish the role and shut down the function'
"But I didn't want the device to break..."
'I offered the condition not to "touch" because I really didn't want to be destroyed. But that's because I didn't want to stop before the Lord. I didn't want to show it to the point where the system I put my heart into completing was broken'
The center of the three devices.
A heavy box of metal appears that is large enough for the floor to open and be held by both hands from the bottom.
"Let us decide to fulfill the Lord's wishes at the end of the day"
"You should like the ruins," the lord of the ruins said at the end.
'Inside that box, research data is aggregated'
Golem manufacturing data, details about arming, and how to use the water of life.
More than that, I was intrigued by...
"Findings about the ruins?
'Yes, I have been gathering information since the facility came into this state. As a result, we came to one conclusion. It's your freedom to make use of that data. "
Various other data are stored.
If you look at the list, you can get an overview. But I realized I didn't have the key data.
"What happened to your data?
I agreed to take the data away because I thought I could take the ruins home.
'You would understand. This facility needs to be completely shut down in order to shut down the system called Ruins. But defeating those who can be called the Lord will not stop functioning without the treasures that will be needed.'
When that happens, the rest needs to be physically destroyed.
'Is that possible?
All the ruins consist of diant steel.
Magic attacks are also ineffective and require considerable time to destroy completely.
"If I can only make one request, I was born here. I also stopped functioning here - let me die"
"Are you sure?
'I really appreciate you guys. For me, the Lord and His Ladyship were equal to my parents, given even personality as a system for managing the institution. It was hard watching your wife lose herself and your husband's heart get rough...... no, it's because I don't have the features to feel like it was hard, etc.'
"That's not true. He was willing to cooperate with us. That alone is proof that you had a human heart."
'I'm glad to hear that. As their daughter, I will sleep here.'
- Let's withdraw.
Melissa leans down to the end and stays looking at the screen.
Eventually, the light disappears completely from the screen leaving only minimal power and the ruins are completely silenced.
"Oh, you're home."
The adventurers welcome you as you dive the boundary with the ruins.
They were always ready for me in case the Golem showed up from across the border. I look up into the sky and I see the starry sky. It was in the ruins all the time, and the time was hard to tell because it was an irreplaceable grey sky even after exiting the ruins, but more than half a day had passed.
"... hmm? What happened to Mr. Brian?
"That guy would be in the ruins. Let me explain the details to you. Let them rest."
"Oh, oh..."
Mr. Ratchett will take the Alliance Master with him.
Someone like you who only thinks about yourself should stay close to me.
"Thank you very much."
"Hi."
"What's up? Much darker, but you regret not being able to bring home an adventurer named Brian? It's a dangerous request, so there's no guarantee you'll make it home safely because you're an S-rank adventurer."
"I don't care there"
All party members are uniformly dark.
That's also due to the sight I saw just before I left the ruins. A man-shaped golem that stopped moving while standing in a wide aisle, a hound-shaped golem of dozens of controlled bodies, and a spherical golem with automatic interception capability.
An establishment where nothing moved anymore.
It was as quiet as the facility itself had died.
"That's the graves of the Golems."
I don't even think someone will visit as far as what's going on out there.
I guess it will decay without anyone seeing it like that.
"I don't know what's causing it to get dark, but look at that."
When Mr. Blaze told me to look at the boundaries, the boundaries that were connecting the two worlds were beginning to contract.
Take a few minutes as it is and the boundary will completely disappear.
"Now our request is complete."
"I thought you were waiting for a day to be handled when you left."
"... don't say"
Mr. Blades thinks about it after he returns to Alistair.
"Um..."
"I know."
I said something. I hear you, Noel.
Noel, a witch, was most felt by the sights he saw in the ruins.
"Let's go to the grave soon"
