CHAPTER 4: THE HERO PARTY LOOKS BACK
This view is coming
to an end today too, huh.
Good morning, mister!
Good morning.
Good morning, three of you.
Finally, today's the last day.
Yeah. Let's stay focused and do our best
so we can all make it back safely.
Hey, mister, if we manage to
accomplish everything properly,
it'd be nice if we got a reward, right?
Just kidding~
Hey, come on now.
Is there something you want from him?
Yep! Right, Sophia?
Huh?
I wish Orun would join
the Night Sky Silver Rabbits clan
Sophia also has something
she wants to ask you.
Ask me something?
Um.. well
Orun
Orun!
Come here for a moment.
Sorry, Sophia.
Hey, I heard a rumor
that the newly formed hero party is going
to explore the lower floors soon.
Then does that mean they're immediately
taking on the 94th Floor?
No, they're going into the 92nd Floor.
Their goal is to test out
their coordination as a new party.
The 92nd Floor right off the bat?
If it's their first coordination test,
they should do it on the easier floors
rather than the lower floors.
Well, it's got nothing to do
with me anymore.
SOUTHERN GREAT DUNGEON, 92ND FLOOR
At last, it's the first battle
of the reborn hero party.
There's no dead weight anymore!
We've gained a new comrade too!
Our goal is to conquer
the Great Dungeon completely!
Yeah!
- Okay!
I look forward to working with you all.
Let's see what you've got.
We're counting on you.
It'll be fine. You're nothing
like that jack-of-all-trades.
I-I'll do my very best.
Luna should see clearly
through this expedition
that we made the right decision
TWO DAYS AGO
N-Nice to meet you.
My name is Philly Carpenter.
It's an honor to be able to join
the famous hero party
that reached the 94th Floor.
The honor is ours.
Philly is a skilled enchanter who reached
the 100th Floor of the Western Great Dungeon.
This party finally has a real enchanter.
Now we can finally say goodbye
to those shabby buffs!
We've got high expectations for you.
Thank you very much.
And to think you prepared such
a welcome party for me
Since that nagging Orun is gone,
we gotta celebrate all out!
I was shocked when I looked
at the ledgers that bastard managed.
He'd stockpiled
a ridiculous amount of money!
Why was he always so stingy anyway?
Money's wasted
if you don't spend it.
Um Aren't those funds
for the party's operations?
Enough about Orun.
Today's Philly's welcome party.
Philly, welcome to the hero party!
Excuse me! There's something urgent
I need to clarify!
Is she a guest?
It's fine. Go on.
But
It's not a problem.
Then
I've heard Orun went into the Great Dungeon
with the Night Sky Silver Rabbits clan.
Why has that happened?
Orun is with the Night
Sky Silver Rabbits clan?
Wait, why the hell is he with that
rabbit clan after just three days?
We told him over and over
that he wasn't good enough!
Does he still think
he can cut it at S-rank?
What do you mean?
What happened while I was away?
Luna, calm down and
You probably don't know this,
but that jack-of
Orun left the party three days ago.
Orun left the party?
So that means
He has given up on us
Are you saying that we're the ones
who've been abandoned?!
It's the other way around!
We kicked that jack-of-all-trades out!
Is that really true?
Yeah, it's true.
Let me introduce her.
She's the enchanter who joined in Orun's place.
N-Nice to meet you
I'm pretty sure I made it clear
that I was against it.
Hey! The new member
is saying hello to you!
Calm down, Derrick.
Luna, you understand, don't you?
With Orun's abilities,
he won't be able to cut it from here on.
No, I don't understand at all.
Orun is unquestionably
the cornerstone of this party.
It's because he was here
that we made it this far.
Without Orun, we won't be able
to advance any further.
I don't know how those clouded eyes of yours
are able to see that guy as competent,
but it's the truth that he doesn't
get valued much in reality!
And it's already over either way.
Nothing will change
if you whine now.
Yes It's already too late.
Now that everyone's here,
let's talk about our plans.
It's Philly's first time joining with us,
so we'll check our coordination on
the 92nd Floor the day after tomorrow.
If there are no issues, we'll move on
to conquering the 94th Floor next.
I'm sorry, doing all this
just for my sake
Don't worry about it.
We're comrades.
I'm against this.
You again?!
Luna, why are you against it?
Because I have no intention
to commit suicide.
Suicide?
Did you hear that? She says we'll die
if we go to the 92nd Floor.
I don't get it at all.
Even if Philly is an excellent enchanter,
the first coordination test should
be done on easier floors.
What are you talking about?
We've already conquered the 93rd Floor.
The 92nd Floor is a piece of cake.
There's a Black Dragon there, you know?
Even we barely managed
to win back then.
That was when Orun was around, right?
If that jack-of-all-trades hadn't been
holding us back, it would've been easy.
Don't misunderstand.
The Black Dragon's strength
far surpasses
Our goal is just to
check our coordination.
We're not going to defeat
the Black Dragon.
No, no, that's exactly
where we should be going to defeat it.
Yeah, totally~
Going into the deep floors
without Orun is far too reckless.
Please reconsider!
Luna! This is already decided!
I won't accept any refusal!
My sword won't go through!
Back off, Oliver!
What incredible weight!
Every time the buff wears off,
it feels like my whole body gets
loaded down with massive weights.
If repeated, it'll become
a serious strain
Philly! Why your buffs
keep wearing off like this?!
I-I'm sorry, I still haven't
gotten the hang of it yet
Does it really take this long?
When Orun was here,
we were able to coordinate without issues
within about an hour on the first day
What are you doing, Derrick?!
Sorry, my hand slipped!
What the hell happened here?!
I used to be able to block that easily!
Fire Bullet!
Aneli, do it properly!
I am doing it properly as usual!
But why can I only cast
such weak attack magic?
That's the usual?!
Philly, give a buff to Aneli!
I've done it!
Do it once again!
Yes!
Fire Bullet!
No way!
But how?!
Philly's support magic should be
far superior to Orun's.
What in the world is going on?
Oliver!
Damn it! Oliver, do something!
Aneli, get around to its flank!
This wasn't happening last time!
Philly, predict the monster's
next attack and tell us!
I-I can't!
Watching the battlefield
and grasping the situation
is part of an enchanter's job, right?!
I-I'm sorry. I'm completely overwhelmed
just with support magic right now
Jeez, you're completely useless!
Neither Derrick nor Aneli are
fighting like they usually do.
And neither am I.
My sword has no power at all today.
Our physical abilities should be significantly
boosted by Philly's support magic
Damn it, why have we become this weak?!
Do you still not understand?
Luna, do you know the cause
why we're like this?!
Tell us! We're comrades, aren't we?!
Comrades, huh?
Guess I have no choice.
The reason you guys have
gotten weaker is because
Why
Why are you the one that coming at us?!
The Black Dragon!
The Black Dragon isn't supposed
to leave the boss area!
Why is it here?!
Let's run!
Like hell we will!
Yeah! We'll take it down!
We can't win against it! Hurry!
Now's not the time to argue!
It's an enemy we've already defeated once!
We can do this!
What are you talking about?!
Let's go!
Yeah!
Okay!
Derrick!
Derrick!
Philly, why didn't you cast
a buff on Derrick?!
She's frozen with fear.
Why is a superior enhancer like her
Fire Javelin!
No way
Aneli!
Impossible
What happened to everyone
We have to retreat! Hurry!
This can't be happening
Get a grip, Oliver!
We don't stand a chance!
If we stay here, we'll be wiped out!
Is that its ultimate breath attack?!
We have no choice but to retreat!
Buy us some time!
Got it!
Philly!
Philly, snap out of it!
U-Um I
Buff me! Hurry!
Y-Yes!
Mana convergence!
Let's do this, Black Dragon!
You need to converge more mana!
There's no time for that!
Take this! Heavenly Flash!
It can't be
Oliver! Are you all right?!
Luna, tell me
What should we do?
What are we supposed to do?!
Isn't that your role
as a leader to decide?!
Pull yourself together!
It can't be helped.
Let's use the Whimsical Door.
The Whimsical Door is an emergency
escape magical tool
that can only be used
inside the Great Dungeon.
It forcibly connects the space of the current
location to another location.
This is our only option.
B-But
The destination will be randomly
chosen from boss areas
on upper to lower floors.
That means we could end up fighting another
floor boss the moment we arrive
It's far better than facing the Black Dragon,
the lower floor boss!
O-Okay
Are you ready, everyone?
Here we go!
Jump in!
The door is spreading open!
The Black Dragon disappeared
We saved That was a close one.
How can you say such a thing?!
This is the worst possible scenario!
This means that Black Dragon has moved
to some other boss area somewhere.
At this rate, unsuspecting explorers
will be attacked by the Black Dragon!
Ugh
I can't believe the Whimsical Door
works on the floor boss too.
Anyway, we need to get back to the guild
immediately and request a 'deportation'!
Deportation?
It's a feature of the guild card
that allows everyone inside the dungeon
to be forcibly teleported out.
That seems like our only option
But the guild will impose
some penalty on us
No, this isn't the time
to worry about that.
Let's hurry.
Wait!
Are you planning to leave them behind?
After requesting the deportation,
we must defeat the Black Dragon quickly.
Yeah.
For that reason as well, I believe
we should replace Philly with Orun.
Are you serious saying that?
Though I feel bad about having
Orun clean our mess,
right now, we need his strength.
Who would ever ask that guy?!
Before the Black Dragon appeared,
I was about to explain the cause
of your poor condition, right?
Yeah
Your conditions are all normal.
Nothing about you has changed.
Then why are we performing
so badly like this?!
Even my strongest technique,
Heavenly Flash,
couldn't leave a single scratch!
The answer is simple.
Because Orun isn't here.
Your Heavenly Flash is actually
supposed to be about that level
because you didn't gather mana.
I didn't gather mana?
Yes.
Before explaining that, do you know
the common effects of support magics?
Yeah.
The increased value of the effect is determined
by the caster applying the buff,
and the duration is decided by
the individual getting buffed.
An enchanter basically has to
reapply buffs before they wear off.
The average duration should
be around three minutes.
That's mostly correct.
However
All of you in the hero party have
exceptionally high magic resistance,
so the applied buffs
don't last two minutes.
In Oliver's case especially, the buffs
can only hold for about a minute.
That's the first I've heard of this!
Oliver, your body is
a nightmare for enchanters.
But Orun managed it skillfully.
Then Philly should be able to do it too!
She's a far superior enchanter than Orun!
And that's why you say we should
replace Philly with Orun?
Yeah, that's right.
Orun's ability is clearly inferior
compared to other enchanters!
Orun understood that himself.
That's why he developed multiple original spells
to compensate for his shortcomings.
Original spells?!
That's a lie There's no way
T-There's no way he could do that!
It's the truth.
First aid is finished.
Time is precious. Let's hurry.
You said he developed original spells,
but in the end he still couldn't hold
a candle to other enchanters, could he?
No, that's not true.
Among what Orun developed,
there is a spell
that can increase the effects
of buffs by more than 50 times.
50 times?!
That's impossible!
Even Selma from the Night Sky
Silver Rabbits clan
was said to have support magic that
increases by about 10 times.
You may find it hard to believe,
but it's the truth.
So my Heavenly Flash was only effective
because of Orun's support magic?
Exactly.
Your Heavenly Flash
and Aneli's offensive magic
were both benefiting from
that 50-times boost.
You grew complacent because of it
and gradually shortened the time
you spent converging mana.
If you had properly taken
the time to converge it,
I believe you could have severed
the Black Dragon's wings.
The same applies to you, Aneli.
What?
You mistook your power supported
by Orun as if it was your own.
Lately, you've been using nothing
but easily cast intermediate spells.
You might not even be able
to use special-grade spells
that require time
and concentration anymore.
T-That can't be true
Then my defense was also
supported by that guy's spell?
Yes, exactly.
Furthermore, Orun's original spell
activates on equipment and magic,
so even when the buff wears off,
you don't suddenly feel your body feels heavy.
I believe I've explained similar
things many times before.
Do you finally understand now?
Yeah
It's already too late now
Is that
The hero party!
I've heard they went to the lower floors,
but they have already returned?
Looks like their coordination with
the new enchanter went perfectly!
As expected of the hero party!
What hero party?!
We put all explorers
in the dungeon in danger!
We don't deserve to be
called a hero party!
Damn it! We defeated
the Black Dragon once!
By my own hands! I did it!
My hero party did!
We're not a party that only works
because of Orun!
