The Dungeon Master's
Chapter 122 - Return to the Virtual World
...22 December 2073...
My gaze changed after entering my VR capsule and Log In to that virtual world.
In front of me was a very rich treasure. I seem to be sitting on a golden throne. Immediately, I realized the location of my character.
“Dungeon Treasure? Huh…. It's been a long time since I haven't Logged In. Five months more huh?” I said to myself. The natural thing because the one who had been Log In occasionally to take money in the treasure room was Elin.
While I was still feeling nostalgic, there was a voice that was so heavy and a little creepy.
“Welcome back, Mr. Eric.” Say a minotaur with a large body 3 meters high.
“Thanks for keeping this Dungeon out of the invaders, Roxas.” I said to the Minotaur.
Roxas is a minotaur who served as a guard on the 20th floor. He was accompanied by several other Minotaurs.
The equipment is at the Unique level of Giant Mithril Armor, Slaughterer Axe and also some other accessories.
Of course, everything was Tasmith-made. As for his status?

His abilities are still far below Lucien's. However, to the standard of ordinary players, Roxas is a very powerful and terrible monster boss. Not only from his status but also from his equipment.
After being satisfied to see his current status, I immediately asked him a few things.
“How is the current condition of the Dungeon? How far can the invaders go?”
“The furthest they are able to last up to the 15th floor. According to the guards on the 5th, 10th and 15th floors they were a very strong group and consisted of 12 people. They call themselves Rebellion.” Roxas.
“Rebellion yes? Alright. I'll remember that name. I guess I will increase the defense in this Dungeon starting from the 6th floor. Where's Oliver and Lucien?” I asked while standing from that throne.
“I'm sure they're both in Dungeon Origin.”
“Thanks, Roxas. Continue your hard work.” Short reply.
After hearing that, I immediately headed to the 21st floor and used the teleportation magic circle to go to the Origin Dungeon.
...***...
...Dungeon Origins...
...5 Floor...
“Oliver, how is the Dungeon doing as long as I'm not around?” I asked Oliver who is currently overseeing the construction of Origin City.
“I will prepare new workers. Can you arrange for the development of the Dungeon Origin's new floor? Later I will submit a blueprint regarding the construction plan of the Origin Dungeon on the 6th floor to the 15th floor.” I asked Oliver.
“Development to 15th floor, My Lord? Of course I can manage it. But...” Reply Oliver with a slightly confused face.
“Cost right? Forgive me for constantly emptying the treasure room. I'll replace it soon.” Short reply.
“No no! Mr Eric did nothing wrong!”
After that, Oliver and I immediately headed to the castle on this 5th floor to discuss the construction of the Origin Dungeon. In essence, the design of the city from the 6th to the 15th floor will be based on the medieval style in Europe.
Every few tens of meters, I plan to build a giant pillar to hold this cave. I don't know if Re:Life has the exact same laws of physics as the real world, but I have to prevent bad things before they actually happen.
However, the giant cave that was used as a big city with hundreds of thousands of residents should be quite vulnerable to collapse.
“So this pillar will also be built on the 2nd to 5th floor?” Ask Oliver curiously.
“Yes. I'll be out for a while to make some extra money. Where's Lucien?” I asked while looking around.
“Kurasa He is at Colosseum.” Reply Oliver.
“Good. I'll be there soon.”
...***...
‘Proo!! Prook!!’
There was a loud applause and the loud screams of the audience. Everyone was shouting something different. This was the state of the Colosseum in Deus's Dungeon Fortress. A place like a giant stadium that shows the fight between vampires and their hunted monsters.
“Shortly, Lucien!”
“Don't listen to him! The manticore is on your right!”
“Stop lying! The animal is in front of you!”
Various screams began to sound. I entered the executive room at the very top. In this room there are only 4 chairs assigned to Deus, Liz, Lucien and myself. Of course, the other Dungeon higher-ups could enter this room.
And in front of me?
It looks like a field surrounded by audience chairs of stone terraced and neatly lined. On the ground was Lucien who was fighting a Manticore.
The Manticore itself was a high-level beast. Its appearance is that it has a lion body and sharp claws, has a pair of pitch-black wings and a tail in the form of a poisonous snake.
His level? It might reach 200 more. After all, the Manticore was an extremely dangerous high-level monster. I wonder how these Vampires can find him. Even against such an opponent….
Lucien appeared to cover his eyes with a very thick black cloth. Not only that, both of his hands were chained with Mithril chains that were quite large and strong. On each leg, a chain is attached to an iron ball.
“Ah, you're back Eric!” Shouted Deus cheerfully after seeing me. He looks so enjoy this ‘weight nexti’ match.
“How are you, Deus? Liz?” I asked while sitting in one of those chairs.
“Good! No. gabe…. I'm told you so awesome! After all, this was Lucien's day of battle with the Manticore! We will continue the conversation later on!” Reply Deus with excitement as always.
While Liz? He just fell silent and focused on observing the course of the fight.
Although Lucien gave a lot of ease to the Manticore, he could still lead the way of the fight very well. Even more than that. He was able to dodge all the flames and poison from the monster while waging a reply.
‘Brukk!’
Lucien swung his leg quickly towards the side. The iron ball at the end of the chain at his feet moved as he wished and hit the monster's head.
‘Wuuuoossshh!!!’
Not accepting Lucien's humiliation, the Manticore breathed out his fire again. Almost half of the Colosseum is consumed in the sea of fire that is formed. Even the spectators were seen being affected. Even so, they remained spirited in watching and did not even look a single scar.
All because of the protection magic created by Deus. The magic protected this entire Colosseum well including its entire audience.
“Hahaha! Is it just like this alone the ability of this rare monster?!” Shouted Lucien while continuously swinging his legs.
A few minutes have passed.
Dozens of punches from the iron ball at the end of the chain made the Manticore who faced Lucien battered until it was no longer shaped.
Until finally….
“Enough to there!” Shouted Deus as he stood up from his chair.
“The winner is Lucien! The officer! Quickly bring the Manticore back and take care of the wound! He still has to face another challenger tomorrow!” Shouted Deus with a big smile.
The atmosphere of the Colloseum was filled with joyful cheers at Lucien. It was only natural that he was able to deal with the monster so easily even without limited vision, hands and footwork.
Without me noticing, I also smiled as I enjoyed the ‘weight next to’ fight just now.
...***...
After the fight was over, I, Deus, Liz and Lucien went to the special officer's room at the Colosseum.
“My lord, I heard you were looking for me. Is there anything I can help you with?” Lucien said on his knees.
Immediately, a wide smile formed on my face.
“Agmar. Have you found his identity in this world?”
