A Court Magician, Who Was Focused On Supportive Magic Because His Allies Were Too Weak, Aims To Become The Strongest After Being Banished - Chapter 11

“…………, huh?”

As soon as we returned to the guild from the guild’s underground arena, Ornest noticed that there was something wrong with the atmosphere and frowned suspiciously.

The first time I set foot in Fiesel’s guild was a few minutes ago.

That’s why I didn’t immediately notice the fact that this quiet situation was strange, but it seemed to be strange.

“Is there something wrong?”

Misha followed.

I looked around busily, but for some reason I couldn’t find any Guild employees wearing the same uniform as her, as if they were all out for some reason.

In addition, the adventurers standing around the area looked somewhat uncomfortable.

“Um, what’s this about —-?”

“…… Oh, you’re Misha.”

We need to find out what this is all about as soon as possible.

In order to figure it out, Misha immediately approached a middle-aged adventurer who was just nearby.

Eventually, he realized she didn’t have a clue what was going on.

“Christa’s back.”

The middle-aged adventurer replied, scratching his head lightly, as if it was hard to say.

“What’s …… Christa?”

“It’s the name of an adventurer who belongs to an S-rank party. She looks like the gorilla who was supposed to be on her way to dive the dungeon three days ago.”

As I was listening, I quickly asked Ornest.

Apparently, the person called Krista was from an S-rank party.

I began to ponder on my own, instantly dismissing the extraneous information that had been added.

” Christa’s back. ……! Huh? But then why is it so quiet?”

“Because Christa’s the only one who came back to …”

“…… that’s…”

Misha was at a loss for words when he said this to her. Her face paled and she bit her bottom lip hard.

There are two possible reasons why you might find yourself in a dungeon with a party of people who were supposed to be diving alone. There are two possible reasons why they came back alone or together.

When a party member dies in a dungeon.

Or, if only that person has escaped for unavoidable reasons.

In the latter case, basically, when the party members realize that they can’t escape from the challenging boss, they let one or two of them escape to the ground and call for help. In the latter case, it is usually done when the party members realize that they cannot escape from the challenging boss.

However, the problem here is the dungeon-specific restrictions.

It is a limit on the number of party members.

“…… That Christa came back with a lot of scars. I think he ran into the guildmaster just now, but I’m not sure what will happen.”

Leviel, the guild master, is an adventurer in an S-rank party, albeit a former one.

He is a perfect asset to the war effort.

Therefore, if we are to believe the words of a middle-aged man, the latter is definitely a conceivable possibility.

However, it is not practical to go to the dungeon to rescue the people left behind when the party members are limited.

“…… If that gorilla woman was hiding in the depths, she must be over sixty. If that’s the case, I’m on my way to help. I don’t think that’s a very realistic thing to do. The old man wouldn’t even nod.”

The dungeon is so large that even if a person walked around it for a week, he would not be able to grasp it all.

And it’s impossible to keep track of the pathways because they change their structure at irregular intervals.

In addition, every time you move from one layer to the next, your party will be sent to the next layer by the magic of transfer, so even if you meet someone on the first layer, you’ll still be able to meet them on the second layer. This is definitely not the case.

Therefore, it is not impossible for a large group of people to conquer a dungeon with a limited number of people, but the deeper you go, the less likely it is and the less realistic it becomes.

That was the understanding that was known to all adventurers.

“On top of that, there’s only one Nuclear Stone Core, which is definitely needed to go to the rescue. There’s only one party you can go to, and all of Fiesel’s S-rank parties are out right now. It’s a complete dead end.”

Dungeons are usually structured in such a way that you have to defeat a demon called a floor boss in order to proceed to a lower level.

However, there was one more way to advance to the lower levels besides defeating them, and that was to possess the “core stone” that Ornest had mentioned earlier.

Basically, if you have a drop item called a “core stone core” from a floor boss located deeper than the floor boss you are facing, you will be able to proceed to the lower levels without being attacked.

However, each party can only have one “core stone core”.

For some reason, if you have more than that, they will all shatter when you return from the dungeon.

Therefore, even if you go to help, there is only one “core stone core” that can go to that level.

In short, there is only one party that can go to the rescue.

In addition, the chance of meeting other adventurers is extremely low even if you reach the same level.

Ornest was right, going to help was not practical by any stretch of the imagination.

“…but,”

Fiercely, for some reason, Ornest smiles.

There was a scheming emotion in his eyes.

“This might not be such a bad situation, if you think about it. So, Jorha, go get Krasia Germophobe.”

With that one word, he must have realized what Ornest was trying to do.

When Jorha heard his name called, he had a look of dismay plastered on his face that was clearly recognizable.

“The gorilla women’s hierarchy is definitely over sixty. If you’re able to take advantage of this chaos and go to their aid, you’ll be able to obtain their “core stone core” if you’re lucky. I’m sure they’ve already conquered the tank killers, so this is a quick shortcut for them.”

If you think about it, this is not a bad…idea, says Ornest.

But it was too risky a choice. That’s why I don’t agree with it, and Jorja doesn’t want to follow Ornest’s words.

It would certainly be more efficient, but the mortality rate would still be much higher in that case.

Besides, the hierarchy we’re heading to is one where people from S-rank parties are probably dying.

There was too much at stake to call this an opportunity.

As we were talking about this, the door to the back room was suddenly opened with great force.

The next thing I know, I hear a familiar voice.

It was the voice he had heard not long ago, Leviel’s.

“…… Oh. I’m sorry, but I need all the A-ranked players in the guild to come over here. Give me a moment of your time. I have something to tell you.”
