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

When the Zeons started attacking the Alistair Labyrinth.

"As things stand, we have no way to stop them."

That was Melissa's conclusion.

"Until you get the art of being stopped."

"It's not that simple."

"Is it? I thought I was too strong when I heard about [my] skills, and I thought I was too deviant when I heard the details."

Melissa was right to speculate.

The more I know what I can do, the more I just know that it's a nasty skill.

"Get comparable skills somehow"

"That's what you can't do."

"Really?

That is how two possibilities are presented by Iris.

"... do I have to bet"

Later, somehow expand the labyrinth to 100 floors underground.

"But how do we make it expand?

Currently, the labyrinth depth is 90 floors underground.

Ten more hierarchies need to be expanded.

"Let's start by replacing this Labyrinth attack with magic."

Various objects were obtained in the Illukite Labyrinth.

Especially the false nuclei (faux cores) that were embedded in the most labyrinth powered organ masters should have as little power as they can add hierarchies on their own.

However, caution had to be exercised in the use of false nuclei. I wasn't aware of the Augamaster, but it was Zeon who embedded it. Then we have to check for traps from the possibility that some kind of trap is in place.

"But it's not a situation where you can say that."

I haven't looked into it in detail. Still, as far as [appraisal] of the surface area was concerned, I couldn't find anything that looked like a trap.

Perform [Magic Conversion] knowing the risks.

"... apparently there are no traps"

I guess I created an existence called the Augamaster for the labyrinth.

"No, that's not all I figured out"

Melissa shrugged as she got lost.

It is unusual for a wise Melissa to state her speculation while lost. That's all I can tell you is a stuffed situation.

"It's so easy to give them something so convenient, maybe they could have used it."

"... takeover?

"Yes."

Even if I give it to you, you can take it away from me later.

"It wasn't a dramatic income, was it?"

'Yeah, you are. It has a tremendous amount of magic compared to other treasures. But if this is all, the addition of two tiers would be the limit.'

The addition of five tiers is the limit even when combined with other treasures.

If reaching the 100th floor isn't enough to get great skills, it's hard to get them again.

"There was plenty of time over there."

Probably looking ahead to see how deep our labyrinth is.

I decided that I would never reach my limit on it, and I left it.

"But I'm in a hurry because we can move more than we can imagine over there."

He is challenging the labyrinth without prior preparation.

We can afford it because the zeons have as much potential to attack even from a disadvantage.

"All we have to do is reach 100 floors while the enemy is in a hurry."

"But it's not enough..."

It is impossible to reach with chimatima and earn money.

Then there is only one possibility that you can reach up to 100 floors underground - get the magic you need by [magic conversion].

"No, you can't get what you need if you scratch the gold and silver treasures in the mansion."

I keep gold and silver treasures hidden in the mansion in case I need them.

Sell everything away and you'll have the condition 'if you live in the qualities', but you have just the wealth to end your life.

However, that's still not enough for what I need right now.

"... maybe he's traumatized. Thinking back on what I've said and done, there's something I've avoided."

"What the fuck?"

"If you don't have it at hand, you just have to borrow it."

Melissa's space magic.

It is also possible to travel from the border to the imperial capital of the Glenvarga Empire in an instant because you can fly around freely.

He went to other countries he had visited before, such as the Principality of Ishgalia, the Kingdom of Memphis, and the Regulas Commercial Country, and explained the current situation to the extent that he could speak to people on the fringe.

The same labyrinth lords, Rio and the Virgin, Ms Mishrina, took the initiative to cooperate and asked the Kingdom of Memphis to cede the treasure on condition of helping to rebuild, and from the Regulus Commercial State they owed money. It was a huge sum of money, but our regular income rolls into our nostalgia. It was a covenant signed with the Glenvarga Empire, and the merchants lent it to me pleasantly.

- But that's still not enough.

"Think about surviving now without thinking about what's ahead!

What Illis is doing is converting demons and traps in the labyrinth into magic.

It can reduce the amount of magic that maintains the labyrinth and, to some extent, turn the magic that could be recovered to expand the labyrinth.

"... sorry"

However, this method imposes an emotional burden on the operator.

Illis switching to magic in tears. Demons being erased at the discretion of labyrinth lords and authorized relatives. It's an easy task to complete with one operation, but it still doesn't change that you're turning it off yourself.

"I don't have a choice. It's been about three years since Illis became a Labyrinth family member. Probably the most labyrinthine of us is Iris, isn't it?

The only Illis besides me with [labyrinth manipulation] skills.

Only she can operate the labyrinth without my permission. Instead, if you operate the labyrinth, you have something better than me, the Lord.

That is also because the responsible Illis was looking into the labyrinth to make the most of his skills. Sometimes he went directly to the place where the trap was located to see what kind of trap would work, and by interacting with situations and environments where demons were easy to fight.

Now Illis is erasing something thoughtful.

Normally even she could not help but feel calmly thorough.

"Activated - [World]"

The moment I used my skills, everything that was moving stopped.

[World].

Skills capable of stopping time within a certain range. I guess there will be some conditions and restrictions if used outside the labyrinth, but I haven't verified it that far.

If used in the labyrinth, the time of the specified hierarchy can be stopped.

"I mean, the time on the 61st floor underground is stopped now"

The time is stopped so it is not possible to exit the interior, and the intrusion from the exterior is completely blocked.

"You've won the bet, apparently."

I got skills comparable to [I'm comfortable].

You'd better reward the hardest Illis in some way later.

"Wow, it's really stopping!

"... we're fine."

Ira and Noel moved to the 61st basement.

Neither of them looks like time has stopped.

What bothers me is Ilis, who has been traveling until they were supported by the two of us. I'm gutted to see it.

"He wanted to see with his own eyes how it turned out"

"No problem because we're on guard"

Sylvia, who had traveled in the same way, told me what was going on and was alert to her surroundings while Melissa had a calm expression.

Nevertheless, vigilance may not be necessary.

"What am I supposed to be on guard?

He's stopped besides us. What should I be wary of...?
