Shah's rebellion and the battle later dubbed was over, and adventurers and Royal Army volunteers returned from the Great Cavity Dungeon to the King's Capital.

Me and my crew are going back to Willidis. I spoke the words of labor to everyone and told them to rest.

Mad and Liana stayed in the hangar when they repaired and serviced Barbarian, Vigilanti, along with engineers Gaea and Nork.

Leele said she would take Sakilis, Elisa, Yuna, and Kashihara women to take a bath.

Marcus... Oh, I was talking to my maid, Croha. Dropping off a magical knight raw and warm in her favor, I, Mr. Bell, Mr. Early and Mr. Daska head to Willidis' basement mansion, that third floor conference room.

"So, in the end, which one won, Mr. Bell?

"... what are you talking about?

The black cat uttered a slightly grumpy voice. You understand what you're trying to say, this.

"I heard that. You said you competed with Reele to defeat the enemy?

"I guess that's what I was doing"

Oh, shit. I mean, you lost, Mr. Bell. Early and Mr. Daska were grinning in the back.

Wearing it in front of the conference room, Sfera was waiting for the incarnation of the Shapeshifter wand she was moving first.

"His Majesty King Emmann awaits you."

Yeah, it's a winning report coming up. The truth is, I'm about to go to the king, but while I'm in Willidis, my father-in-law takes a lot of care of me.

"The Shah pattern is found in the Adventurer's Guild"

As I moistened my mouth with tea prepared by SS maids about my seat, I reported.

"Most likely, when it reaches your father-in-law, it's a corpse."

"I wish I had solid proof that I defeated you."

King Eman raised and lowered his face as he nodded.

"The adventurers are blowing up their guild. Let the resentment deepen."

So - and King Eman's gaze sharpened.

"What happened to the Great Cavity Dungeon?

"The hole I drilled remains intact, but this dungeon core has been pulled up, so we're back to normal dungeons"

That means the monsters are back in a dangerousness zone where they burst.

"And what about Shah's holdings of dungeon core?

"Destroyed"

I told him the answer I had prepared. King Eman frowned.

"Couldn't you take it away?

"Amazing itself if the core is in the hands of the enemy. Conversely, Shah is just an adventurer without that core. The best way to maintain the shortcut route and ensure the safety of the offensive team was to destroy it as soon as possible."

"Honestly, the next time a demon comes out, there's no kiri."

Mr. Bell pinched his mouth. The face of the black cat turned to Early, so she nodded, the king's daughter, in the wake of it.

"There was also a lot of magic armor. Nearly half the adventurers and volunteers were injured."

"I couldn't fool around with the sorcerers' wear and tear."

Mr. Daska turned to the king.

"One or two more fights would have caused more damage at an accelerated rate."

"Right...... If that's what we all are, I guess it was."

King Eman shook his head (wearing it) to convince himself.

"I feel a little wasted, but I believe you've all done your best."

"To the utmost pleasure."

I'm lying, I'm sorry. I lay my eyes down.

"The loss of the core that existed in the great cavity left the dungeon in disorder. So far this has not been a stampede phenomenon, presumably because this core exists and controls it."

"Hmmm.... but its core no more"

"Yes, as a result, the magic accumulated in the dungeon creates a new dungeon core, and the possibility of stampede sooner or later cannot be discarded"

Originally, that's what dungeons are for. When there is an anomaly in the ecosystem in the dungeon, an imbalance in numbers, the Warcraft leaves outside the dungeon.

"As a precaution, a copy core was installed in the lowest level area of the dungeon to prevent excessive accumulation of magic. Prevent new dungeon cores from occurring."

Dungeon cores, if available, also benefit greatly, but unlike artificial cores in the first place, natural products are difficult for humans to handle.

I made a DC rod when I was a hero, but that wasn't easy. The 'Granathe' that Shach had was found to be the artificial core of the Safilo series, but thus also controllable by him. I don't think I would be able to handle a natural core if I wasn't a great magician like Foley Mantur.

King Eman's difficult face and silence is probably thinking about how he can handle the dungeon core somehow. Everyone thinks about it. Nothing is just King Eman. But king. If you can't control it, it's only harmful.

"Dungeon core is not possible, but instead it is possible to use the magic accumulated in the dungeon to obtain Demon Stone to some extent"

"What? You think it's a demon stone?

King Eman's pupil grows larger. I agreed.

At the Great Cavity Dungeon, he presented a "Dungeon-Demon Stone Mine Proposal" based on what he talked to Bell about. Even as a kingdom, it is a story that we do not wish to be able to purchase at low cost the demonic stones used for magic armor and demonic stone weapons that are currently in a hurry to deploy.

You don't get dungeon stampede, you get inexpensive and a certain level of demon stone without going through the vendor - for the kingdom, it's a good slap. Naturally, King Eman jumped at this proposal.

"Make the dungeon a demon stone mine, or... That's the wisdom of a wise man."

I mean, there was this magician who actually did it a long time ago, and he just used it. Besides, a dungeon is dangerous, but a mountain of treasure is a familiar idea for adventurers.

"Nevertheless, this proposal should be kept confidential"

If you ask, anyone else who tries to imitate you will always show up. Even if you don't have a copy core, you can do the same, as long as you have the moves of turning magic into a demon stone. And if you're in a position to do it, you don't have a hand in not doing it.

In fact, the Great Empire has already done something close to it. In a report sent by SS operatives who infiltrated the Empire, it was said that the Great Empire was building a facility that absorbed magic.

In addition, we have succeeded in producing artificial demon stones and are working to create a production system while aiming for more precise ones.

The military use of magic is expanding.

It's a nasty world. Originally, the idea of using precious demon stones as weapons is commonsense in this world, so I don't care how I think about it, but it's an uneasy flow ahead of time.

Well, I'm not in a position to argue with the Great Empire, with noisy weapons at my disposal.
