Dungeon Master Makeup Money

About three hours till sundown.

Departure after lunch.

As a result, not much time was left until sunset.

The outer walls surround the city when it also becomes a big city like Alistair, allowing access only through the gates between East, West and North and South.

And the gate is ready to be closed at sunset.

In winter, the sun sets fast, and adventurers have limited time to work outside the city.

"You can't just camp in the cold."

I spent a few days in the camp when I was exploring the ruins, except that one.

The site where the ruins were located was not so cold that the camp could not be done because the world was different, and the night was warm thanks to the constant burning by the materials provided by the Alliance.

"So, which way exactly are you going?

"You haven't made up your mind."

I'll take a look at the map that Mr. Rooty gave me.

The map, although brief, depicted Alistair's surroundings and detailed what demons appeared in which neighborhood.

"You've just given me a piece of gold."

Maps sold by the Alliance, but there is also a difference in the amount of information obtained by the amount paid.

The map with a single gold coin shows not only the location of the demon, but even the detailed data of the demon.

"Apparently, you should clean it up within a week."

When you read the information, it is common to all demons that the magic accumulated by demons is the freshest within a week of the day after the first snow falls, and by the time you have ten days, you will miss the most delicious period.

"Today, let's just see how it goes"

If you have ten days, you must have plenty of time.

"Are there any adventurers nearby?

"You're not close."

Sylvia, who is excellent at detecting signs, asked me to look for an adventurer, but he's not near the city.

Even if you look at the map, all the demons have been discovered away from the city.

"It would have been easier to follow the trail if it had snowed."

By noon the snow that had accumulated had melted.

The ground is soggy and difficult to walk thanks to.

If you walk that road for an hour,

"Master, there's someone here"

Sylvia discovered the shadow.

As long as I know the direction, I can see.

"I don't see the sapphire."

But Ira was leaking dissatisfaction because she couldn't see.

"Now bear with me."

Melissa magically creates a clear lens for attacks.

The surface of the lens showed the sight of me and Sylvia in a far away place. You have a lot of handy magic.

"Apparently, he's an amazing adventurer from Wang Du we met in the guild."

There was a foursome adventurer ahead of us watching.

"Oh well!

That's about as far as coming all the way to the border to get a crusade request, so that way of fighting should be helpful.

His name is, uh, Mr. Vincent.

At a position away from them were white ravens that produced horns from their foreheads.

It's a horn rabbit I'm used to.

Except it's nothing like the horn rabbit I know.

Normal horn rabbits only measure about a meter long. But there were more than two meters of horn rabbits they were trying to deal with.

"Is that the demon that built up the magic and became stronger?"

It looks easy to tell.

Large means that there are drawbacks such as slowing down, but it remains strong.

"Sounds like a snow rabbit, not a horn rabbit, to be exact."

I don't know the difference outside of size, but the material at hand said under the name Snow Rabbit.

Mr. Vincent is whispering instructions to the female adventurer who was holding back.

"You're just wondering what you're talking about."

"Do you want to pick it up?

"What?"

When Melissa uses magic, there's wind around her, and she delivers her voice to our ears from nowhere.

"Can you go? Ophelia."

"Leave it to me."

Set up the bow that the female adventurer called Ophelia had.

Ahead is the horn rabbit, which I haven't noticed yet.

Mr. Ophelia releases an arrow.

An arrow that flies straight toward a snow rabbit that you haven't noticed.

"Kew!

Just before the arrow pierces the snow rabbit, the snow rabbit activates the magic when he realizes the arrow is approaching.

"What?"

The appearance of Snow Rabbit is not at all different than that of Horn Rabbit and size.

There is no force in the horn rabbit to use magic, and the main method of attack is kicking by the hind leg, which has developed more differently than the beast's raven. I've never heard of Horn Rabbit using magic, etc.

But an ice wall stands in front of a snow rabbit that actually uses magic and takes an arrow.

"Kew!

Snow Rabbit raises his voice again.

Standing up on his hind legs, developed just like Horn Rabbit, he tries to run out with his back to the ice wall to escape.

But I jump up with my hind legs, which stood in a hurry the moment I saw the arrow of flames created by the magic that melted the wall of ice that was supposed to be in front of me and coming towards me.

"Yes, over"

Vincent slashes Snow Rabbit's head with an elongated sword.

It was a slaughter that only seemed like a thin slash, but Snow Rabbit, who fell to the ground whether it was an attack that would be a fatal wound to Snow Rabbit, also stopped working with Pickle.

"Very much."

"No, if you're hunting, it's my turn."

Approaching Mr. Ofelia, who shot an arrow with Snow Rabbit's body.

(I see. If one of the guards can be stopped with the first blow, I will. When I couldn't finish, another wizard would. Besides, at the end of the day, Mr. Vincent himself joins the attack while he's distracted)

Most notably, the attack by the three men was all a poke at Snowrabbit's will.

Even when it comes to the first arrow, Snow Rabbit doesn't realize it until just before it hits, and even though the flaming arrow was blocked from sight by the ice wall, a demon who can use magic should have the ability to sense magic. But he didn't look like he noticed the arrow of flames until the moment he melted the ice wall. What's more, it didn't look like Mr. Vincent noticed until the last moment.

"Can you do that?

"I think it's hard for me right now"

Make it a power that can be definitively tailored with the magic emitting magic down to its limits.

I know the logic, but it's hard for me and Melissa.

"And it's hard to sneak up on a vigilant demon."

I see the challenge in hunting.

And that's where I realized.

Hey, Vincent's on his way to us.

Apparently, come close.

"You want to go?

If you were aware of what you were looking at, you need to say hello.

"I'm sorry. I took it upon myself."

"I don't mind watching. There was a distance, and it didn't look like the demon noticed it. I wonder how we fought."

"What do you think"

To be honest, I've never fought in a way that excels in secrecy.

Demons basically have the habit of attacking people they see. For this reason, they often try to fight from the front because they come from the other side even when fighting demons against them, and they don't really fight the kind of opponents that escape.

But the fact that we started with an attack from a distance like we were dealing with a beast means Snow Rabbit is likely to escape.

"Do the demons get away with it if they get close?

"Normally I run away. Even when we fought, we must have escaped while we were putting out the ice wall."

"Yeah, I was watching"

I suppose he was originally going to escape while he was hiding his appearance at the same time as taking his opponent's attack on the ice wall.

I knew such habits, but hence the wizard woman had prepared the arrows of the flames long before the ice walls were produced.

"I don't know how helpful our fight has been, but you newcomers, good luck in your own way."

"Thank you"

He's surprisingly good.

"Our destiny is a bigger demon, not a little thing like Snow Rabbit, so I'm gonna have to ask you to excuse me here."
