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

Labyrinth basement, 30th floor.

Magma sea. The Red Dragon, the boss of Volcano Field, shows up when he reaches the bottom through the path he's made in the meantime.

A red dragon, sleeping on an island floating in the sea of magma, slowly lifts his body.

What can I do for you?

Dragons of the strongest species.

That looks careless to look at this one.

No, I was rightly infidel. It's been a long time, too.

"Long time no see."

'Cause I don't have a chance.'

What the Red Dragon cares about is his inability to fight for real, even though he's the boss of Volcano Field.

The role of the Red Dragon, who sits in front of the Transition Magic Formation as a gatekeeper, is to attack adventurers who have broken into the labyrinth and prevent them from reaching first. However, exaggerating overwhelming power causes fewer people to appear adventurers who give up breaking into the labyrinth.

So a moderate reduction was required, and among demons a highly intelligent dragon was appropriate.

Threaten by throwing up fireballs and braces from the island, usually off the path of the adventurer, they fly and attack with their claws from above against those who acknowledge their strength. Most adventurers fear the approaching Red Dragon and make it a priority to move on when they give up defeating it.

However, I did not like the situation where a reduction was required for the strongest species.

"I've been doing the same thing for hundreds of years, so don't worry about it."

'I don't mind being a gatekeeper. I was [summoned] under a contract like that. But what I don't like is when the enemy was breaking in. "

"You've explained the situation."

What the Red Dragon calls' enemy 'is about Rio.

Rio is an enemy that must stop the intrusion for the Labyrinth. He was an opponent who didn't need to fight.

At that time, the soluble giant, who was positioned on the 27th basement floor, was defeated.

The soluble giant was at level 300 and was letting him fight with all his might, provided he didn't kill him.

Still, I lost.

Summoning demons consumes magic. The stronger the demon you summoned, the more magic you consume, so the loss that the melting giant was defeated was enormous.

You can't lose even the Red Dragon in that situation.

"It's a disgrace as a dragon to miss such a strong man in front of you."

The Red Dragon had no hands on the Rio's and had given instructions to miss them.

Thanks to Rio's understanding of the loss when the dragon was defeated as the same labyrinth lord, he drew his intentions and moved on.

"What I was doing then was competing. It would have been enough to slow the opponent down in moderation."

It's none of my business.

I've been bent over Heso since then.

Still, the role given to me has become a threat to the adventurer.

'Except for my thoughts and my contract. No matter how much you dislike the situation, you will always accomplish the task entrusted to you. I can't be ashamed to name a dragon without being able to do so much. "

Dragons are the most powerful and proud at the same time.

Some dragons give up pride because of their desires, but many are proud of their power.

"Then it was just fine"

"Hmm..."

"We can't have enemies ready right now, but we can have them if we can fight with all our might."

A magic formation is drawn next to me standing in front of the Red Dragon.

The [Transfer] magic formation used to move people and demons in the labyrinth. It was Iris who showed up after a moment.

'What are you going to do? You're not gonna let a woman fight you.'

"You understand the power of your family."

Demons in the labyrinth are treated as inferior beings than labyrinth lords and labyrinth relatives.

And lower beings cannot defy superiors. The Red Dragon must also obey my orders and those of Illis. Most importantly, they don't move as efficiently as they do when they teach.

Efficiency was needed in what we were about to do.

"Fight me as hard as you can."

'... does that mean you can fight with the intention of killing?

Red Dragon asks while lost.

Correct it because it's just hard to get killed.

"We've been fighting God and God's family, and we've been steadily increasing our level."

I've already reached a level where I cross people's limits.

It also has a higher status than normal when the level rises due to the benefit it receives from the labyrinth.

It's no longer easy to lose.

If you have someone to lose, you're just as irregular as we are.

"I'm going to go to the irregular guy. I want to be as ready as I can be."

"So, what do I do?

I want you to be a trainee.

The Red Dragon instantly understood.

"[Ethereal Ice Feather (Blizzard Robe)]"

The appearance of Illis changes in an instant.

Wrapped in pale, radiant translucent feathers, the figure is mysterious and has the power to attract the beholder.

"Divine Feather. Nor is that divinity dwelling in the feather, but the power of God makes the shape of the feather. It's an interesting thing to have."

[Blizzard robe], also known as the trump card of the Illis. It embodies the [blessing of the ice god] that you got.

"I'm so used to not wearing it out if I'm not using great power by continuing to train like I do every day after returning from the 'ruins'. But as it is now, it will never be enough."

Iris' defense increased dramatically by getting a Blizzard robe

Before becoming a family member, Iris was a swordsman flirting with his opponent by a variety of sword moves carried out from his light-hearted body. For this reason, I was unable to wear armor that weighed my body and restricted my movements.

Now that I'm a family member, I have muscle strength that I don't have a problem wearing armor on.

But you will abandon sword moves that have stained your body for years. If technology is lost instead of defense, the main fall will occur.

I only wore minimal protective equipment for those reasons.

"My goal is to be able to sustain my Blizzard robe even when I'm fighting better than I am"

I needed sustained training assuming I was in battle.

After thinking about efficiency, what Illis asked for was to continue to be attacked by a flame that could be described as a counterpart to Blizzard Robe.

It was anticipated that if the cold air to be wrapped up could be melted and maintained, it would not be solved even during the battle.

So, I'm the one you chose?

"Disgruntled?

I thought you might be unhappy with being used as a training partner.

'No. He chose me as his opponent in this situation, which I guess is the strongest of those who preside over the flames. You have to live up to that trust. It's a dragon break. "

A roaring red dragon.

A volcano is shaken by a roar, and a magma breaks into the aisle.

"Oops."

If you wear a magma, you won't be safe. I'll evacuate the sky.

Meanwhile, Illis remains in the aisle. While the cold air is dissolved in the magma, it still withstands somehow. Even if I say I stand it, its face is distorted by pain. I'm just preventing it by freezing the magma I push over, and it dissolves the moment I'm a little distracted.

"He's a drunk. I didn't know you offered Dragon a real training, though. '

"I'm sorry, but I'm not going to take a lag around the dragon"

'The word. And I got it!

Niyali, and a grinning red dragon.

They throw up flaming braces directly in front of Illis.

At the same time, the feathercoat moves to the front to protect the body of the iris and generate barriers due to cold air.

"Hmm..."

Red Dragon exclaimed after watching Brace go through.

Where it was a road that was melted by drools and invaded by magmas. Iris stood there, who secured the scaffold by freezing the magma there.

"I didn't evade it, I didn't let a barrier that was resistant to flames unfold. Did you antagonize my braces and magma purely with cold air?"

The feathercoat returns to its original state and the breathless Illis jumps to a safe passage.

"I want to be able to take it off without wearing out my current one. It may not be a very efficient way, but enduring it again and again forces you to get used to it"

'Efficiency? You don't need that! If you really want to be strong, your thoughts are more important than anything else. If you wish, I'll go out with you as many times as I want!

As soon as the magic recovers, training begins to endure the braces and magma in the same way again.

Impossible training, I just wanted to stop but couldn't because it was what Iris himself wanted.
