We were advancing through a dungeon where there were no demons.

Hey, Hurt, the corpses of demons that sometimes fall down........they all seem to have been stripped of their parts to be used as materials, could it be that.......

　Luke seemed to notice.

'Yeah, my magic is stripping it away.
Really?

　When it comes to level 80+ demons, the materials that can be taken are good enough, so I had my knights strip off the parts of fangs, claws and other magical stones.

　My magic knights can even dismantle demons. Other contents of the treasure chest are also collected by my knights and collected in the boss room of the final layer.

　There's no need to strip monsters or collect the contents of treasure chests. That's why we just walk straight through the dungeon to the boss's room at the final level.

''The Lord's magic is incredibly versatile.
It's too convenient... how on earth did you do that?

　He's wondering how Luna works. Since Luna and I have become a family, I'll show you how to make it soon.

　By the way, according to Yohko, my knights have a performance that far surpasses the Flame Knight of forbidden magic. I didn't know the original owner of the house, so I just thought, "Hmmm.

　I walked through the dungeon while talking to everyone about various things. It's easy to forget since there are no demons appearing, but this is originally the ninth level of the dungeon where demons of level 80 and above roam.

　Of course, it's not just demons, there are also vicious traps in here, but...

''T, all the traps have been deactivated, Le?

　The white chalk that tried to disarm the traps in order to get us to the final layer safely was surprised. This is because all the traps had already been disarmed by my knights.

　My knights, who can also disarm traps, are perfect as scouts for dangerous places where you don't know what's out there. By the way, the way to disarm the traps...

It's not deactivated. It's not deactivated, it's all activated!

　Yeah.

　Deactivating the trap without activating it requires a great deal of skill and knowledge. As expected, even my knights can't do that much.

　Well, there are some individuals who could do it if I taught them.

　Deactivating the traps is tough, but it's easy to trigger them. Because all you have to do is step on or touch the trap.

　And some of the traps in this dungeon had spears that flew out, pitfalls, and poisonous gas spewing out when triggered.

　Physical traps such as spears and other physical traps didn't work on wind knights who didn't have any substance, and they weren't powerful enough to penetrate the ice knight's armor.

　Pitfall traps were ineffective against wind knights who could fly. Also, since the wind knight and the ice knight were paired together, the wind knight could help the ice knight even if the ice knight was trapped.

　There's no way poison gas would have any effect on the knights who are magic.

　That's why the knights eradicated the demons and trapped themselves in the traps they found, allowing us to proceed safely.

　Even though it's my magic, they're very good at it. And yet, it's also very cost effective, as it requires a large amount of(-) magic power to activate.

　Tina's man-made demons are strong and versatile, but they can't be built without using a large number of precious magic stones and magical tools. When I think about it, my knights are affordable.


　─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─

　They came to the front of the boss room on the final layer.

　The door to the boss room was open, but just like in the eighth layer, the ice and wind knights formed a line in front of the door and waited.

　The waiting knights were a little less in number. Furthermore, there were several individuals without arms and legs........

　That's how many demons were at a level where my knights would be hit or lose their limbs. Since they eradicated them in a short period of time, I have to work on them.

''Everyone, thank you for your hard work. Thank you.''

　Not many words are needed. Because they are born of my magic. I'm sure they'll be able to fully appreciate my gratitude.

　The knights don't have facial expressions, and they don't act. But when the knights hear my words, the magic inside them flows violently and I can feel their joy.

''In my(⋅) inside(⋅), you can rest at ease.''

　The moment I said that, the knights returned to their magic power.

　And that magic power is flying at me. About eighty lumps of magic power of around 10,000 per unit - they flew into me.

　It's a good thing I expanded my magic transmission channel.
　I was a knight, taking in the magic power.


　In the old days, if you put out a flame knight, you left it out. If they were killed by an enemy or finished their duties, the magic power that made up the knight would dissipate into the air.

　At some point, isn't that a waste?

　─ ─ I thought.

　So I returned the flame knight, whose role had been completed, to its magic and took it into my body.

　Then I found out something interesting. Not only was I able to take in not only the magic power, but also what the knight I took in experienced inside me.

　Originally, if my magic defeated a demon, I would get experience value. But experience is meaningless to me. It's because no matter how much experience I have, I can't increase my level because of the status fixing curse.

　Instead I could get the information that my magic experienced by defeating a demon and getting that magic into me.

　I don't get the experience, but I do get the experience.

　This is quite amazing. If you take out a hundred knights, you can understand all the information about the demons they defeated - their appearance, their attack methods, their weaknesses, and so on.

　It's the same as when I changed into 100 people.

　I'm sure you'll be able to find a lot of people who are willing to pay for it.

　If the knights release their magic power by attacking, that amount of magic power won't come back, but the only attack that would exhaust the magic power of a lump of 10,000 magic power is a self-destruct attack, and most of the time it comes back to me.

　Also, when facing an enemy that requires a suicide attack to hold them back, if there is only one knight in the room, they don't do an all-out self-destruct, they leave a little bit of magical power behind to self-destruct. It's a great way to get a little bit of magical power back to me.

　And if the magic power returns, I can take in the experience of the knights who gave me that magic power.

　I can learn about and counter the existence of demons that the knights are unable to defeat. Even if I can't win with a flame knight, if I can win with an ice knight, I'll send an ice knight, and if necessary, I'll send knights with other attributes. Also, if you can't win with one of them, send more than one of them.

　This is how I've defeated so many powerful enemies.


　And now, I have all the information on the demons in this dungeon's eighth to final layer. Furthermore, even the demons I've never seen, let alone fought, have been defeated by me, and I've obtained scripture.
