Chapter 330: What the Dragon People Want
The lowest level of the beginning dungeon, the 265th level, the “ Dungeon Core” room…
When the chief arrived at the lowest level with Tauro and his group, the place was filled with the smell of curry and the entire Capture group and support group were eating in a congenial and friendly atmosphere.
“……What is this?”
Chief Ryuga was bewildered by this situation because he thought that an emotional scene would unfold as the Dragon People’s long-desired dungeon capture was about to take place.
“Everyone was happy and moved to tears, and it was over before you arrived, chief.”
The great sage, one of the capture group, noticed the chief and explained, observing the expression on his face.
“…… you don’t need to explain.”
The left-behind clan leader Ryuga lightly retorted, but then changed his mind, it made up for the hardships of the capture group.

“You guys, just listen to me as I say this! ─ ─ I’m very proud of you for making it to this lowest level! As your chief, I am proud of your achievements. Many of you have tried this dungeon many times over the past several hundred years, and many of you have lost your lives. You have fulfilled the wishes of the entire Dragon People Tribe. ……Thank you so much! I don’t want to make this …… story too long. So let’s put an end to our long-cherished wish……”
Chief Ryuga said and pulled out a large war hammer from his magic storage.
He then walks up to the pedestal where the labyrinth core is located.
"Chief Ryuga-san. If you shatter it, the dungeon will cease to function and the one who shatters it will get the item he or she desires. What do you want?"
Tauro asked, suddenly interested in what the Dragon People would gain beyond the achievement of their long-held wish.
“What do we want ......, How about ......? I guess we'll have to shatter it to find out."
Chief Ryuga replied to Tauro and stopped in front of the pedestal.
The dragon people present in the room were filled with a tense atmosphere, knowing that the time for the accomplishment of their long-cherished dream was finally approaching.
This is the historical moment when the dungeon capture will finally come to an end.
Everyone’s eyes focused on Chief Ryuga so as not to miss it.
"...Then, it's time for our dragon race's long-cherished wish."

Chief Ryuga spoke shortly, and then he raised the war hammer in his hand and swung it down toward the ‘dungeon core'.
Clash!
Chief Ryuga’s blow shattered the large, hard “dungeon core” in a single blow.
The labyrinth core shattered on all sides and the fragments scattered.
Tauro did not expect to experience the moment when a “dungeon core” shatters again, but if it is as it was last time, the dungeon would stop functioning after this.
That's right, will it be possible to use 'Spatial Transfer' even after it stops functioning?
Tauro suddenly wondered.
He had a scary thought of how long it would take to get back to the ground from the 265th level if he could not use it.
……
…………
Ad
………………………
Hm?
Tauro realized that nothing was happening.
If it's the same as last time, the lights should have flickered out and the dungeon would have died out.
The dragon people started to buzz around because nothing was happening.
“?”
Chief Ryuga also looks back at Tauro and confirms with a glance.
“…… that?”
As Tauro tilted his head toward the chief, the ground floor of the pedestal rose and a treasure chest protruded.
Oh, will the dungeon stop functioning once the treasure chest is retrieved? Tauro predicted,
“Chief, please open the treasure chest and see what’s inside.”
I recommended.
“Really?”
Chief Ryuga nodded and, as advised, opened the larger treasure chest.
"Th-This is!?"
Ad
Chief Ryuga was greatly surprised when he saw what was inside.
Tauro rushed to his side and peeked inside the treasure chest from the side of Chief Ryuga.
What was inside was…
“Eh!? a dungeon Core!!?”
Tauro confirmed that the treasure chest contained a white “dungeon core” that was the exact duplicate of the blue “Dungeon core” he had just crushed, although the color was different.
"...I see. The long-cherished wish of us dragon people, the dungeon capture, had taken root in our lives. Maybe somewhere along the way I couldn’t imagine the life of the Dragon People after those dungeons were lost. ……”
Chief Ryuga muttered to himself.
Tauro appraised this “labyrinth Core” with his “true eye” as a test.
And then,
“Artificial dungeon Core Made by the Dragon People”
・An artificial dungeon core created in accordance with the wishes of the Dragon People.
・When it is placed on a pedestal, the dungeon can continue to live under the control of the Dragon People.
・However, since it is an artificial dungeon, the dungeon will not grow any further, and one of the dungeon’s characteristics, such as the creation of realm guardians and the flood stampede of monsters, will not occur.
・The generation of monsters can also be adjusted with this "Artificial Dungeon Core".
“As soon as you can appraise it ……, you will know that it is artificial, but ……, this means that you can continue to take advantage of the dungeon without it dying!”
Tauro added that last part as he read the appraisal results.
“…… haha. The dungeon really does give you what you want. ……”
With a wry smile, the chief took out the “Artificial Dungeon Core'' from the treasure chest and placed it on the pedestal.
Then the earth shook, shaking the entire dungeon.
Gogo-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go ……
The dragon people in the room were shaken by the earth tremor, which seemed to never end, but then a staircase, which was probably the cause of the earth tremor, rose up in front of them.
The long earth tremor finally stopped when they saw the staircase ascending to the ceiling, leaving a hole in the ceiling as well.
“……It looks like we now have a direct staircase to the top.”
Tauro muttered as he looked at the stairs.
“Looks like it. ……”
Chief Ryuga agreed with Tauro and sat down, staring at the staircase in stunned disbelief.
