286 Finale for dungeon capture (4)






"Mm! You're back.

 Maybe because I'm the master of this dungeon, not only I, but also Nell, were not attacked by the surrounding demons at all, and we turned back for about 30 minutes.

 We were able to meet up with the holy knights who had already turned back.

I'm sure you'll be able to see that neither of them are particularly injured....... The way it looks, the defeat was a success.

"Yeah. . you're blacked out and in pieces.

 You'll be able to find a lot more than just a few of them.

You can't believe that ...... seriously defeated that demon king by yourself.

"Hey. That was pretty strong.

"...... It's not credible to be called a kelp, sweetie.

 I just cowered at Grifa, who said this with a dumbfounded face.

You know, Grifa, I never heard of that demon king being so crazy.

"Huh?

"He's just so f*cking crazy.

 I'm sure you'll be able to find out what kind of magic it has, but if you're not aware of it, you might want to know what it is.

I'm sorry ....... But the demon king is usually just like that. They are stupidly arrogant, hateful, and generally broken in some way.

"Pardon me. . who's broken.

No, no, I wasn't talking to you. ......

 A grifter scratching his hair with his raggedy hair, a questioning look on his face.

 It's a good thing that you're not going to have to worry about the fact that you're not going to have to worry about the fact that you're not going to have to worry about the fact that you're not going to have to worry about the fact that you're not going to have to worry about the fact that you're not going to have to worry about the fact that you're not going to have to worry about it.

I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about ...... and also Carrotta . I'm sorry about the dungeon core. It probably broke in the aftermath of the battle. So I think this dungeon is going to collapse after a while.

 After discussing with Nell, we decided to fool her in that direction.

 Once the demon king is defeated and the dungeon core is destroyed to completely defeat the dungeon, the dungeon's collapse process begins when the core is destroyed.
 However, the collapse doesn't start right away; the magic inside the dungeon will decrease over the next few days, and along with it, the expanded space will return to its original form, and the monsters inside will die out over the next few days.

 By the way, you can actually make it collapse using the "Dungeon" function in the menu.
 It seems that this function is released when I control the second dungeon, so that I can collapse the second one and after that, convert everything into DP.

 I don't, though. If you collapse them, it's only temporary, but if you keep them collapsing, you'll have DP permanently.
 So I'm going to move them to the vicinity of the magical forest, just in time for the ship we came in to leave.

 This ghost ship dungeon is a ship, so you can move it as fast as you can because it's so huge.

 Also, I've already installed a door to my house on this ghost ship, so I can actually go home right now if I want to.
 After I finish my work and get home, I'll come back to this dungeon to see what I can do.

 But we didn't get to hear anything about the dungeon after all: ...... Well, it was probably a good idea for me and Nell to head out on our own.

 I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about it.
 The more people there were, the less space there was for evasion and their movements would be limited.

 I'm sure we would have lost a few people.

If the two of you couldn't make it, it was probably impossible. It's a shame, but I'm going to give up on .......

 No, it's not that.
 Really, I didn't mean for that to happen either. I'm sorry, Nell, please stop looking at me with that vague smile on your face.

I found a couple of things you guys could use instead of ......, so I thought I'd bring them to you. Here, give me a break.

"How?

 I pulled out my item box to show a curious Carlotta a dagger with a floridly decorated, crest-carved dagger and a diary.

 You'll be able to see the dagger I took out and her eyes instantly become sharp.

"This is ...... the coat of arms of the dukes...

Ahh. The demon king here used to be a nobleman in your country. He was set up by a friend of his and became the demon king because he was so bitter against him. What happened to him was detailed in his diary.

 --The diary and the dagger lay haphazardly on the desk in his office, just like the dungeon core.

 When I opened the diary, I found it contained the story of his rise to the throne.

 There were traces of resentment and anger, blood smeared across quite a few pages, as if his fists had been clenched too tightly, and it was a bit difficult to find what had happened: ...... Apparently, he had been betrayed by someone he considered a friend and kicked out of the aristocratic community. .

 He was trapped, his dukedom was kicked off, and his entire family was executed for it. The house is cut off.

 That he was alone adrift in the middle of the ocean like this is, well, a kind of exile. There's no island to go to, though.

 He could be thrown in a rudder-broken boat with no food at all, suffering through starvation and despair, and then starve to death.
 It was supposed to be destined to be either that or, since the waters are said to be rough around here, the rough seas would tug at him and he would become a piece of seaweed. ...... For some reason, before he died, he was reborn as a demon king.

 The moment he became the Demon King was written a little bit about.
 Apparently, the air around him suddenly changed, and before he knew it, a throne room appeared and a dungeon core was placed in it.

 Perhaps that's when a new dungeon was born.
 This area seems to be a place with a high concentration of magic elements, just like the forest of the magical world, so it may be a condition ...... that is definitely a miraculous probability.

 I think the reason why the race became a draugr is the same reason why I was first reincarnated in this world as an arc-demon.
 The dungeon decided I'd better survive if I was reincarnated there.

 You seemed to have had an ego for a while after you became a Draugr, but I could feel it dwindling through the diary.
 His handwriting was rough, perhaps because of his resentment, but little by little, his writing became poorer and poorer, and finally it became meaningless and jumbled scribbles.

 --You'll be able to see that the Immortal King, a man who absolutely kills humans, is the incarnation of hatred and rage.

 ...... Now you understand why the demon king was so angry.

 Certainly, if I were to have one of my own killed, I would become ...... a raging demon king who would throw his life away to destroy everything in the world.

 ...... That's a nasty imagination. I don't want to think about that.



...... It was a while ago, but I remember the political events described here. It was buried in obscurity, unclear and unaccounted for. ...... I see, this is certainly much more beneficial to us than the dungeon core. But ...... I didn't expect the duke's family to be the demon king: ......

I want you to squeeze as much as you can out of that guy's head and get rid of him. I'll help you if you cooperate.

 I told that demon king that I'll do everything I can for him.  
 It's within my reach, so I'll at least help you kill her.

...... All right, I'll take care of that. This is a clear sign of injustice. We're not going to let criminals get away with it. We'll pay a reasonable price, Mister Griffa. For this matter--

Hey, we know the drill. We were just showing the sisters the way. I didn't hear anything and I don't know anything. You know that, don't you?

Of course. I didn't hear anything.

I don't want to hear about your mysterious death from a disease that brought you back alive. Of course I didn't hear anything about it.

 I'm not going to do that, but ......," he said with a wry smile at Reyes' directness, and then Carotta turned to me.

I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it happen. I didn't need to ask.

Oh, you know what I'm talking about.

 I nodded my head as a matter of course, and Carotta raised her hands to shoulder height, saying, "I beg your pardon.

 The holy knights and adventurers are laughing at our exchange.

Now that you're back in one piece, we don't need to stay long. --Then we're leaving!

 --And we had completed the dungeon attack.
