Dungeon Master Makeup Money

Inside the ruins it was a passage surrounded by stone walls.

Sunlight never comes in because there are no windows. It is the lights mounted on the walls that are still able to ensure vision.

I don't know who installed it, but the maze, which was supposed to be dark, was looking clear thanks to the demonic stones provided at regular intervals emitting light.

"So, which way do we go?

The road was divided in three directions before us.

If this is a labyrinth, my labyrinth manipulation could show you the shortest distance to the exit and directions for efficiently retrieving crates.

But this isn't a labyrinth, so you have to think for yourself.

"Right."

"Left."

Melissa and Ira wanted to go in a completely different direction.

"In places like these mazes, you don't get lost when you go with your right hand against the wall. Don't you even know that?

"No, because it's the same with your left hand."

……

Neither of us seems to have chosen it for any particular reason.

"What about Sylvia?

"I don't know if I'm an adventurer or a demon ahead of me on the front road, but I feel signs of someone. We are beginners of ruins. Find out how many demons appear in the ruins and how other adventurers behave, but you should encounter someone."

"So let's go straight"

"" Yes...... "

Ira and Melissa are blatantly tense.

Did you regret that Sylvia told you to be rational?

"Don't be so depressed. The Alliance told me what to expect, but we're not going to attack the ruins, and we don't need to make money, so let's explore slowly."

"Oh, really?

I heard what I said. Ira was circling her eyes.

"This time, I came to the ruins to get used to it. The timing of coming to the ruins is limited. Try a complete attack on the ruins or something on your first challenge. You'll be even more suspicious from the Alliance."

Or the original status of the Sylvias declaring to the Alliance would make the ruin attack impossible.

"So we move on appropriately..."

Three demonic mummies appeared with bandages all over their bodies in front of them.

It's easy if you just take it down because it's a demon that's also in the labyrinth, slashing your body from the top of the bandage when you wave a divine sword as you run toward three mummies.

But Mummy, who is undead, does not die to the extent that her body was slashed. You are more right to say that it cannot be stopped because it is like it is already dead than.

"Melissa."

"Yes, 'Photothermal wire (photon laser)'"

A strip of light emitted from Melissa's cane runs through Mummy's head, and the heat line that came out of the back of her head runs straight through the second and third heads as well. It's a ray that should only go straight if it's supposed to, but it can be guided even after firing whether an arrangement like Melissa has been added.

The body that was inside Mummy's bandage collapses and only the demonic stone and bandage are left behind.

Photothermal rays are the magic of light attributes, and Mummy, who is undead, is purified by just being attacked by light attributes.

There are three ways to defeat the undead. One is to break down your body so shattered that you can't get up. The other stops the function by destroying the demonic stones in the body. This method is not recommended for adventurers who need to earn money because they will not be able to collect demon stones.

It is the last way to purify the soul of the undead with the power of purification.

Melissa's purification by light attribute magic was somewhat violent, but this method can be recovered without damaging the demon stone.

"Isn't the Demon Stone bigger than Mummy in the Labyrinth?

"Really?

Silvia and Melissa, who have never seen the real thing, are tilting their necks.

"It's actually slightly bigger than the demon stone I retrieved from the mummy I've defeated."

I hear Ira had defeated Mummy at that time because she worked as an adventurer even before she partied with us.

As she put it, the demon stone was slightly but large.

The size and quality of the demonic stone is directly linked to the strength of the demonic object as it is.

Big, high-quality demon stones sell higher, but only for that matter will the demons have stronger magic power, making it harder to defeat them.

"All three are the same size, and maybe this is normal when it's a ruin"

Collect the Demon Stone while we talk.

It's easier to carry if you even put it in the storage ring.

"Your husband."

Sylvia was tapping on the wall beside her to see what it was.

"There's a room over here"

I was pinpointing the other side of the wall to be hollow from the echoes when I slammed the wall.

If you don't mind breaking it down, I'd like to smash through the walls and check inside the room, but there are many adventurers in the ruins right now. You can't just smash through walls in that situation and have a weird effect on the ruins.

"There are signs of people from inside the room"

I mean, they'll have found their entrance somewhere and gone inside the room.

With as much status as we have, it's possible to destroy the ruins walls, but the ruins walls aren't brittle enough to be destroyed by ordinary adventurers.

As I proceeded along the bend that was nearby, I saw an open door.

Face out of there and peek into the room,

"Ghaaaaahhh!

A man carrying a large backpack was eating his arm in a crate.

The lid of the chest had sharp fangs on the gizzards, and a wooden chest was bouncing whether it was about to chop a thousand bites.

"Mimic."

Mimic - a demon who eats adventurers who have inadvertently approached him in an attempt to get a treasure by keeping it simulated in his crate appearance.

"You bastard!

He was smashing the hammer his fellow arm-eating adventurers had and smashing the mimic.

"Are you all right?

"Does this look okay to you?"

I can tell it's a serious injury just looking at it from a remote position.

The right arm of the adventurer who had been eaten by his arms had a big hole when it had been bitten, and his fangs had been pulled towards his hand because Mimic had been pulled when his buddies smashed him. Thanks to the terrible cuts, he was bleeding heavily.

The four adventurers are worried about their seriously injured companions, but not the adventurers who have been seriously injured. But when the big man with the big sword dropped his fist on his head, he became an adult.

"Well, that would have been a good study."

"Excuse me."

"This is what happens when Mimic attacks you. Remember your liver in the future."

When I receive my backpack from an injured adventurer, I take out the wound medicine that was inside and apply it to my wounded arm.

Their party consisted of an injured adventurer being a luggage supporter, then two men armed with a great sword and a hammer, then a lightly dressed man and a wizard. For once, I guess I can't use healing magic on my seriously injured buddies despite having a wizard, not because they're keeping their magic warm.

"Hey there they are!

A lightly dressed adventurer who was on perimeter alert calls us.

It's not hard to find if you're on guard because you weren't hiding any signs.

"What is it?

"Don't you have a pill or something? Seems like the drugs we have aren't working enough. I'll pay you when I get back to base."

I was just about to say no thinking about the future if they told me to give it away for free, but if you mean they would buy it for a fair amount, I don't mind selling it.

"Fine, but isn't it better to use restorative magic than medicine?

"Yes..."

At some point Melissa, who was listening to us, was closing in on supporters.

"Heal (heel)"

Melissa's healing magic heals her supporters' wounds.

"Dude, it hardly hurts anymore"

"I magically blocked the wound. However, I just blocked the wound so the blood remains lost, and if you leave your arms wet in the blood, you may get sick, so wipe it off thoroughly."

"Oh, oh..."

When a supporter treated by Melissa went to the corner of the room, he was removing a wet towel from the backpack and wiping the blood off.

"Thanks for the help. I'll make sure you pay for it."

"No, the price is fine, so can I get some info?

"Information?"

"We're new to the ruins, so we've never seen a room like this before."

"You know what?"

There were sixteen chests lined up in the room where we are now.

And two were mimic after they were already opened.

I want information about the remaining thirteen.
