Dungeon Master Makeup Money

Episode 16: Double Blade

Standing in front of a mansion in the aristocratic district, he shouts his voice so that he can hear it all the way inside the mansion, ignoring the gatekeeper nearby.

"Ah, ah, tell Associate Baron Boban's house. Like handing over a man who attacked a man who was a ghetto in the evening dressed like an assassin hiding there."

With the help of labyrinth magic, he also raises his voice, so his voice is also within the mansion. On the contrary, it is adjusted so that it is not audible to the surroundings.

The gentle-faced gatekeeper suddenly approached us with a raised voice. Moreover, if we listen to the content of the words, our own masters will not be irrelevant, we will not be able to hear the circumstances.

Or this guy. You're a soldier who was attacked by an orc he met on his way to King's Capital.

Does that mean that Associate Baron Boban will be the nobleman he was calling for?

"What the hell are you guys fussing about!... that you..."

They also remembered me. When I went to pay attention to the young man who was making noise towards the mansion, he was the one I knew. Just fine.

"The demands over here are simple. Her father was killed by a man like an assassin in the House of Associate Baron Boban. She's going to kill the man and avenge him."

"... there is no such man"

The gatekeeper answers blindly.

You know this has raiders. And you killed the father of your young daughter and strayed your gaze from guilt into the situation that that daughter was asking.

"I'd rather stop revenge than that."

"Why?

"Because vengeance creates nothing. That's just vain."

"Then I'll change the language. This one has come to capture an assassin whose bounty is likely to hang as an adventurer. We have magic tools (magic items) that are useful in finding people, and we know the killer is in the deepest room on the second floor of the mansion."

"Why did you go so far... the room is my husband's study?"

Why? Because the pendulum (Pendulum Dowsing) is pointing to that room all the time.

That, the pendulum, which had always pointed to the room behind the second floor, moves to circle to the right and moves backwards.

Gakin -!

High metal sounds echo and sparks light the darkness of the night.

"Ku......!

An assailant who realizes the ambush has ended in failure jumps back and takes a distance from us.

The pendulum indicating the current position of the subject is moving backwards, indicating that the raiders are moving in some way from our right to our rear.

However, I do not imitate anything that moves against surprise attacks from my side.

"I didn't expect a little girl like you to take it."

He was the raider who attacked me with a dagger in both hands, but watched the pendulum move... I didn't have to see it. Sylvia was taking the raider's dagger with a dagger in both hands, just like the raider.

"Or maybe it's because I've been getting myself together. What you have is first-class."

Sylvia is not dressed now when she comes out of the village, but in the white blouse I gave her, a black jacket, dressed in a blue curlot. Of course it's not just an outfit, it's a piece of equipment removed by the Labyrinth Magic: Crate (Treasure Box).

Some of the equipment obtained from the labyrinth also includes clothing for women. I was glad I had the right size item because I was free to choose something that was easy to move due to my newly acquired skills. No, he's about a minute taller than me in the head, but contrary, he needed extra space because of the size of his chest.

If you want to correct the words of only one raider, it is a super-first-class product, rather than a first-class one.

"Your opponent is me."

When Sylvia sets up her dagger, she exhales as if the raiders were frightened.

"If you're that guy, you're just a village girl anyway. I can't beat you. Your prowess is confirmed when you were tailing him during the day."

I guess as an assassin you can gauge your strength from how your opponent moves, etc.

Anyway, the opponent has judged Sylvia's prowess to be understated by daytime conditions. This is a chance.

"Lord Davis, what a fuss is this!

Until then, I just had to watch the raid that took place in the space of a few seconds before the gatekeeper shouted up at the raider - Davis.

"This says something different. Until I came to eliminate the Raiders as an escort to Associate Baron Boban. And..."

Davis' gaze is at my disposal. There, the pendulum points all the way to Davis.

"Apparently, it's impossible to escape them."

"What? So what..."

Davis, who gave up running away from the pendulum, disappears from the spot.

It's not really gone, it's due to the skill's 'Dark Wrap'.

'The ability to haunt darkness is simple. By wrapping darkness around your body, you make yourself unrecognizable from your surroundings. The darker the surroundings, the stronger they will be.'

The narrative comes from the labyrinth nucleus (dungeon core), which is all sorts of details thanks to living through eternity.

It's a skill to hit and put on an assassin on a night like this to erase signs.

In the meantime, we go into the mansion grounds to prevent raids from the shadows, etc., and intercept Davis in a garden with nothing around us.

Nevertheless, as I declared earlier, I will not lay my hands on it. rather than necessary.

"There."

"Guh."

Despite hiding in the dark, Davis rolls through the garden kicked by Sylvia as she approaches him.

"How did you know where I was!?

"Why, is that magical power?

"Are you kidding me!?

Davis is angry that I thought he was ridiculed because of how he was tilting his neck like he didn't even know.

I can't help but not know who I am.

Being a Labyrinth Master (Dungeon Master), I can use all my Labyrinth magic without any problems, but my Labyrinth Family (Dungeon Servant) is not good at it. After pre-testing some labyrinth magic, Sylvia was fit for magic that allowed for fast travel and hidden magic like the one used by Davis. Apparently, the influence of his father, who was a bandit at a young age, came out here.

And finding Davis hidden in the dark is due to The Labyrinth Magic: Detection, which is constantly activated. The magic you consume is trace and gives you an accurate picture of what's going on around you.

Not that the dark entanglement was weak, but I even saw through the hidden Davis position because Sylvia's ability to detect was outweighed. Now, in a vegan state, I couldn't recognize the hidden Davis. Since the pendulum is used the most, it is found out where it is.

"This can't be happening!

Once again, the Dark Wrap is used to make the figure unrecognizable.

You don't know it's useless to do the same. Until now, it must have been a pattern of special assassinations that didn't make you understand the signs as an assassin, but it's already outweighed our sensing abilities.

No, this is...

"Silvia."

"I know."

Davis uses a dark entanglement, but leaves only a faint sign that he will be there without imitating the signs completely and comes straight towards Sylvia. No, a straight line isn't right. The signs come loosely shaking about a meter forward, backward, left, and right.

I see. Is there some use of this by diluting perception rather than erasing it altogether?

Although we have Sylvia and a pendulum with Labyrinth Magic: Detection, we can find out exactly where it is.

Both of Davis' daggers are being swept away by Sylvia, who is capturing their exact position, waving her dagger at the deviation.

Davis also tries to take advantage of his prior agility to dodge it at the critical point and turn to counterattack, but by having his cheeks cut shallow he gives up counterattack and takes his distance.

"Stupid, I should have avoided it..."

"Uh-huh... I guess it's still hard to handle"

Sylvia, who slashed her cheek, was checking the condition of the dagger.

"No way, the ability of that dagger"

"Oh, right."

As Sylvia affirmed, the dagger she holds can produce a stretchy invisible blade. It's impossible to avoid it at first sight if you don't know the effect.

This is one of the gear I gave you.

"Damn, it was a fragile status indeed when I saw it during the day! And you're supposed to be an amateur. You can't fight like this!

Unfortunately, I just got the status an hour ago.

The "double-edged technique" gained when I became a relative affects how easily I can handle the power I have just acquired like that. Double-blade technique is a skill that corrects the way you handle blades when you have two blades, regardless of their length. Thanks to this, Sylvia can recieve attacks launched by professional assassins, and I know how to move.

When I was just a labyrinth lord, it never meant that I was confused by my raised status and didn't know how to move, but it seems that Sylvia would be confused by a status that was still stronger without the double-edged technique.

"What the hell would make this possible!?

"The power of love."

... what are you talking about!

I did kiss him at the time of the contract. Teng himself, who said it, also blushed out of embarrassment and missed his gaze. Hey, it's a bad idea to get out of sight of your opponent during a fight.

Signs of Davis activating the dark entanglement diminish and remain there. But the main unit runs away. Thanks to his working out agility as an assassin, he quickly approaches the iron fence, the boundary of the mansion. Are you running away?

"You can't let them get away with this."

"Gu......"

Davis falls on the spot with Sylvia's thrown knife on his back.

The knife I just threw was due to the knife that was stored in the new storage ring I gave you in advance. It can be hit without difficulty thanks to the fact that the double-blade technique also affects the throwing, and the knife is painted with plenty of paralytic poison created by labyrinth magic.

Get close to Davis before the soldiers in the mansion can help you.

Sylvia puts her foot over Davis' body and turns the dagger in her hand.

"So, what are we gonna do with this guy?

"Let's hand it over to Viscount Flebble"

"Are you sure?

Can I keep alive the killer who killed my father?

He's the one I hate so much that I want to make him silvia and kill him.

"Let this guy be not only a murderer, but also a thief. That's better for my father."

Copy that.

Davis, who can't even talk with paralysis poison, stares at me with his gaze alone, but clearly he doesn't feel any threat to the kind of opponent who escapes knowing he can't win. restraint so that he cannot escape with the rope removed from the storage ring.

Sylvia's turn, that's it. It's my job from here on out.

"Yeah, what are you guys doing! Why don't you just kill those adventurers out there!

An arrogant nobleman emerges from the mansion.

After all, he's a nobleman who's told me to give him the body of an orc he ran into on his way to King's Capital.

Now, shall I ask Associate Baron Boban to reflect?
