Synopsis

The chapter opens with a discussion of territorial laws and the need to address the growing dungeon, emphasizing its threat to the water supply. The protagonist attempts to eliminate the dungeon's organisms by consuming them but experiences a severe reaction due to their magical nature. This leads to the realization that these monsters are not living beings but magical constructs, and traditional methods of absorption are ineffective. The protagonist then reaffirms his commitment to quickly resolving the dungeon issue and seeks to find monsters that are suitable for his consumption-based abilities.
