When Merdi and the others were surrounded by the demons of the eleventh layer, the dungeon's master room looked like this.


''That number of mahonomes is outrageous...''

　If it was Yoko, who could release a high-powered beam, it would be easy to annihilate, even if it was a Mahonome with high magic resistance.

　Even so, it was usually unthinkable to be suddenly surrounded by over a hundred B-ranked demons in a dungeon, so he felt sorry for Meldi, who was currently struggling.

''It's tricky to appear in a set with Kyrenoux.
Wow, I don't think I'm going to make it.
''Yes, that may be so. If Rifa-san takes on this dungeon, let's ask Hurt-sama to adjust the difficulty a bit.

　Tina and Rifa were having such a conversation.

'Oh, hey Halt!　Seira will be fine, right!　I never heard of sending her to a place where there are so many B-ranked demons!

"Elmia, don't worry about it. I'm sure you'll be able to get out of trouble. And besides...

I think we'll be fine with Mr. Merdi there.

That's right.

　Hurt's instincts told him that Meldi could clear this layer.

　It would be a struggle, but if she could overcome it, she would become one level stronger.

　What Meldi lacked right now was the skill to shorten the accumulation time needed to unleash a high-powered magic or physical attack.

　When fighting an enemy that is the same or higher ranked than you, if you can't make a decisive attack without taking the time to build up your strength while keeping the enemy in front of you, there is no way you can win.

　Also, if you can't shorten your accumulation time, Hurt thought that on the contrary, you should lengthen your accumulation and learn to attack enough to annihilate the enemy in a single blow.

　Right now, Meldi's attack speed and the power of a single strike were both halfway decent.


'Halt, is it my imagination?　I have a feeling those demons are being controlled by something.

That's what I think, too. It's just that Merdi is being attacked in a very concentrated manner. Most demons would go for the weakest one first.

The sylphs and the chalk are right. I'm in control of all of them.

""What?"

'I wanted Meldy to shorten the build-up to the attack, or to gain the ability to destroy the enemy in a single blow. Push her a bit and I'm sure she'll grow up.

　This layer was the layer that Hurt had prepared for Merdi to grow into.


　And here, Meldi's voice echoed from the monitor.

''My, eat all I have!

　Merdi's attack wiped out the demons that were there.


''See, I told you Meldi could do it.

　Hurt began to stroke the sylph's head as he sat on his lap, looking satisfied.

　It was an act that he had unconsciously started to do because he was happy with Meldi's growth.

''Uh-huh. I think it's great, too, Meldi.

　The sylph was happy to be patted on the head, agreeing with Hurt's opinion.

'Hurt, I know that Meldi is awesome, too. So I want you to pet me too!

''Hmm. Hakua will give you lots of praise the next time you clear the floor I designate in this dungeon.

What, not this time...?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'll be there in a second.

　Hurt gave her a light pat on the head as Chalkia shuffled away when she thought she wouldn't get a pat on the head.

''Oh, thank you so much. Next time I try, I'll do my best!　I'm going to show Hurt what a former dungeon master can do and he's going to praise me for it!

Yeah, good luck with that.

　Harut was going to make him fight against Hakua to confirm the strength of the tamed demon.

　Hakua still didn't know that the enemy was a demon who had been strengthened to the Demon King class.


''Merdi-san's attack was so great that my consciousness went that way, but I'm also surprised that Hurt-san is taming those hundred B-ranked demons that were there...''

''Luna-san, I agree with you. I can't believe that Hurt-san, who isn't a tamer in the first place, is unconcerned about using so many demons, and even more so after they've all been defeated.

　Luna and Luca were calmly analyzing the difficulty of what Hurt had accomplished.

　Normally, when you tame a demon, a bond is formed between you and the demon.

　It was because of that bond that the demon would listen to the human.

　However, forming a bond with a demon isn't always a good thing.

　This is because when a tamed demon falls, it causes mental damage to the human who is connected to it by the bond.

　Harut had tamed a hundred demons and was not damaged at all even though he had been defeated by them.


　The use of demons is a rough job that he accomplished forcibly with his vast magical power, as usual.

　The reason why he did not receive any mental damage.

　It was the effect of the evil god's curse (決議決議決議決議決議決議).

　It's the same as when I made a master-slave contract with Yoko.

　Under the contract, Yohko obeyed Harut, but Harut was able to ignore the desire to protect her that he was supposed to bear because of the effect of the contract.

　Hurt tamed the demon, and although a bond was formed from the demon to Hurt, there was no bond from him to the demon.
　

　Nevertheless, if he walked through the dungeon, all the demons would miss Hurt.

　He couldn't be so cold-hearted as to be able to make those demons disposable.

　That's why Halt had set Resurrection in the dungeon core against all the demons in this dungeon's eleventh layer and beyond, so that he could revive them even if they were defeated.

　The dungeon in this ruin could revive not only the challengers but also the demons.


　By the way, if someone other than Halt defeated the demons here, they would get experience and could level up.

　Halt had created a system that allowed him to convert his own infinite magic power into the levels of his friends.


　In addition, all of the roughly one thousand demons on the floor after the eleventh level were under Halt's control, and all of them could be revived.

　This means that Hurt has an army of immortal demons, which means that he has an army of a thousand immortal demons limited to this dungeon.

　He was not very aware of this either.

　The boss of the final layer was a demon class demon.
　It also has the characteristics of immortality.

　In terms of the difficulty of defeating them, it could be said to be a Demon King class.


　Harut had created the Immortal Demon King's Army with the intention of creating a dungeon to train his friends.
