Episode 16: Master Room

Further down the third floor, I found fragments of a broken container, fragments of metal parts that I thought were used for magic tools, floors discolored by dangerous chemicals, and other signs that made me think that various experiments had been carried out.

Looks like the third floor is definitely a laboratory and material storage area.

Although I have tried to explore gleefully, there is no further achievement.

Also, there is no such thing as a staircase where you can go to the fourth floor.

So we build the stairs again and go up to the fourth floor.

"This place..."

It is believed that the fourth floor was followed by a private room.

The collapse was more intense than ever, leaving little to the extent that even the walls of the room retained their original form just a little at their feet, but they were able to find traces that just made them think there were a number of rooms.

"Apparently, it's like a research facility for an experiment that was underneath."

A study of synthetic demons was being carried out here.

"This..."

Sylvia offers a bunch of paper just like she did on the third floor.

They've come to find valuable material that was left out of the garbage just like they did earlier. And the expression is as dark as it was earlier.

"I had no idea."

However, the reasons were different.

I'll take the material from Sylvia and read it.

... I'll give it to Melissa right away.

"Both of you..."

Melissa, who was given the material, wondered why she was turned to herself.

"I didn't even understand what it said it was us"

Difficult jargon was in line, detailed formulas were drawn, and I had to abstain on the way to reading them.

"This... I can't do it either"

"Oh well."

If Melissa, the smartest of us, can't do it, it's impossible for anyone to understand.

... That's what I thought.

"No, I think you can understand as long as you have time for what it says itself"

"Eh."

"However, the content I was able to obtain is too fragmented, so I don't think that the research on synthetic demons can be put into practical use where this has been deciphered."

"Oh well."

In some cases, the creation of synthetic demons might have helped the labyrinth if they had been put into practice. Perhaps it would have been better not to have had it, given that outrageous experiments have been repeated in the course of what I regret.

"I just found out about the role of the crystal at the top."

"Really?"

"Yes, it takes a lot of energy in experiments as well as maintaining the necessary connections for this city. That crystal seems to be sucking the magic flowing under the sea to cover the energy needed by its own power."

"The magic tools necessary to maintain the city."

It's not like we still don't have such self-refinable magic tools.

However, he recognized that the size that could be compensated for with such magic tools was at best the limit of about one minute of the house.

Functions are the same but of different sizes.

"Is it going to be beneficial to take it home?

"No, having such knowledge could lead to suspicion the other way around."

Looks like it was the most complete, but even we had a little bit of a struggle with the synthetic demons we fought earlier.

Such demons can be mass-produced.

You shouldn't be able to leave me alone as a lord.

"But what do you do?

We are obliged to report the items obtained in the site as the person who undertook the request for an investigation.

We also need to bring the material back.

But it's not the top priority.

"The most important thing we have to prioritize is the powerlessness of the ruins. At least you have something to do."

"... is it a dissolution of the bond?

My intention is to secure the crystal ball that keeps the line.

At that moment, the junction was also lifted and the materials and so on that were on the way could only be brought back at the very least. It is therefore impossible to reproduce synthetic demons.

"I'm going to tell you about the research because I have to report exactly where the facility was, but you don't even have to tell me about the research results."

I don't feel the need to bring it back if it's impossible to reproduce it in the labyrinth either.

"Let's sink all the research into the bottom of the ocean."

You don't have to do anything from here. The water pressure won't do everything.

Besides, you'd better get rid of this research early.

"You're being rude."

……

A familiar voice echoes in the tower.

It's the defense system that showed up in front of us upstairs.

"This facility is still alive."

"... you don't have any living people"

"I'm here. It is above all proof that the master is still alive."

Yes, it was.

Some of them have obstructed their approach to the tower.

There's definitely someone out there.

"Come to the top floor with the master room. I'll put Keri on there. '

A puzzling and interrupting voice.

He looked so angry.

"What do you want to do?

"You're gonna have to go."

He seems confident based on his voice.

There is a good chance that some kind of trap awaits.

Go up to the fifth floor with only the minimum materials.

On the fifth floor, there is something like a screen in the back, and the chair in front of it can only see the rear but someone is sitting back. Perhaps the person is the master.

"Welcome, there you are"

The sphere's defense system appears and floats near the master.

"I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in your situation or anything. Let me just bring back the crystal balls on top."

'That's not why. That crystal ball is an essential part of making the facility operational. "

Running?

"This facility isn't working anymore."

'Not yet. The research is still going on in my hands.'

The tower itself continued its research rather than say defensive systems even when people were gone......

'I have no other path than to continue my research. Let me continue my research. "

The sphere's eyeballs glow red.

Then the wall behind the room opens and the golem shows up.

The defense system attaches to the head of the golem.

"I wanted to catch you alive because you're the first person with raw flesh to show up in hundreds of years, but you can't say that more than you've been broken in so far."

Both hands of the golem can be pointed.

I feel like the Golem, who shouldn't have any emotions, is being turned against me despite the other person.

No, I guess I've become a hostile opponent for the defense system.

'Not at all... you have to be one who has permission to ascend. That's how it should have worked...... you're the first one to come up here without permission. Let me rule it out here.'

Golem's arms fly in.

If you jump to the side and dodge, your arm hits the wall and crumbles to pieces.

"Hey, your men started the fight on their own."

Given the dangers ahead, we cannot leave our defense systems unattended.

It would be a good idea to dispose of it on this occasion.

The problem is that the special golem is the opponent. It stinks.

Discussions don't work.

Talk to the master who should have admin privileges.

but he doesn't respond at all.

"It's no use."

An object like a tube extends from the wall of the tower and stabs it in the back of the golem.

Shortly after, Golem's arm, which should have been lost, regenerated.
