As soon as Garum left his quarters early in the morning, he headed to the guild. Garum was one of the few guild employees who had broken through the sixty levels of the guild, so he hadn't been able to take a day off lately, as he had been very busy. But today was his first day off in a long time. Despite that, Garum was on his way to the guild.


(As expected, he's not there yet.)


　I came to the guild today for one reason. It was to watch the Infinite Circle PT. It was a hectic time in the guild because Aldoret Crow broke through the seventy levels yesterday, but at that time, Tsutomu informed me that I would be taking on the Fire Dragon the next day. Therefore, he was waiting early in the morning to secure a seat where he could easily see the monitor and not miss the battle.

　But basically, the area around the guild's monitor was only for explorers and clan informants, and the general spectators would use the monitor market outside, so it wouldn't be crowded. The guild's monitors are a bit smaller than those outside, and the service around them is poor. And there aren't many people who can sit back and watch the game in the midst of a crowd of strong explorers.

　In comparison, there are various shops around the monitor outside that offer a variety of services. There are stalls that offer good food and delivery services. You can also reserve a seat on private property or rent out a magic tool to protect you from the rain. There are many other restaurants that offer a variety of different tastes for a comfortable monitor viewing experience. It's inevitable that spectators will flock to the highly serviceable monitor market.

　Many of the guilds in the morning are fledgling and mid-level explorers. The big clans start moving during the day and night, which is basically the time of day and night when the crowd is most likely to gather, but it is commonplace for clans and PTs that cannot be sponsored to be active even when the crowd is not present.


(.........hmmm)


　Garum hadn't seen much of the reception since he hadn't been in the guild lately due to work, but once again, he realized that the number of explorers with jobs other than attackers was really increasing. It may be thanks to the fact that Aldoret Crow broke through Mount Golem yesterday and returned to the highest tier clan, but the number has increased to a degree that can't be compared to what it was before.

　Since there are many novice explorers who haven't been able to form a clan or fixed PT during this time period, guild mediation PTs tend to be formed. Garum ordered food from the guild cafeteria while looking at the scene where the tankers, who were previously not looked upon favorably, were being welcomed in that mediation PT.


Two fries. Two fries. Three griburgers. And.........
As usual, you're a voracious eater.


　Garum finishes the large amount of food orders while being laughed at by the guild staff lady who is taking orders. Then the infinite circle led by Tsutomu was lined up in the guild reception area. When Garum waved his hand, Daryl noticed it and bounced his hand back.


(I haven't seen him lately... but are you sure you're okay?)


　Garum's duties are basically to mediate and resolve problems that arise between gatekeepers and searchers. However, lately he's been busy exploring the volcano hierarchy with research and helping other guild staff level up and update the highest level. Therefore, I haven't been able to see Daryl for the past month or so, so I'm a little worried about his fire dragon battle.

　But the other PT members are all grainy, so I knew he wouldn't lose to a fire dragon. The former, an elf named Diniel, who was an attacker of the Golden Research army. She was famous for being the Danton's best archer attacker.

　The other two are Camille's daughter, Amira, who is Camille's daughter and has inherited a unique skill, and Hannah, a bird person who is a different kind of tank. She's the one who gets the least amount of attention in the Infinite Circle PT, but Garum is paying attention to her. At any rate, Hannah is a tank in her role, but she avoids all attacks without being attacked. She is very impressed with her movements, which are the same tank but of a different kind.

　And, needless to say, there's Tsutomu. If he still can't see the bottom of it, it seems like even the mounted golem is no match for him. Even if Daryl made a mistake, it wouldn't matter.

　Transitioning from the magic circle in the guild, he looks at the infinite circle reflected near the thirty-second platform on the fifty-ninth level. Recently, the guild staff and the guards are also aiming to break through the fire dragon in order to raise the level limit, as the highest tier of the major clans has been raised. And since the mid-sized clans are also updating their highest tiers more and more after the merger, there are many organizations diving into the fifty-nine levels.

　Garum had seen Daryl's movements on the way to the fifty-nine levels, but it wasn't bad. Even compared to the two months and a bit ago when he finished his training, his growth could be seen.


(But still with instructions?)


　Daryl can dutifully tank when instructed to, but he's not very good at thinking and acting on his own. He has the ability to tank, and his head spins a bit. In fact, he showed glimpses of this in the hate fight with Amira.

　However, he lacks confidence in his own ideas and follows instructions when they are given to him. Daryl was a dog person waiting for instructions, and although he had learned to think in three months of training, he just didn't have the confidence to do so.


(If Tsutomu were here, it wouldn't be a problem, but.... That wouldn't work. If he didn't try and do it himself, he would eventually get stuck.)


　Especially when you reach an unknown dungeon and cut through it, you can't conquer it if you can't think and do it yourself. Garum knows this from the experience he gained during his time as an explorer. But Daryl has not yet been able to believe in his own ideas.

　While he was thinking about this while picking up the large amount of food that had been brought to him, the Infinite Circle discovered the black gate to the sixty levels. The five of them, who were dressed in red threaded fire armor, immediately dived under the black gate and shifted to the vicinity of the tenth level as the monitor switched to the tenth level.

　Then some of the people who were watching the monitors around them all took up positions in front of that platform at once. They were informants from the major and mid-sized clans. Thinking it was easy to understand, Garum sucked on the straw of his drink.

　Then, as soon as the fire dragon appeared and approached, Garum snorted lightly at Diniel's skill in accurately shooting the fire dragon in the forehead with the first strike, and took a bite of the freshly made fries. While eating more and more of it, which was shaken with a good amount of saltiness, he watched the endless circle of fire dragon battles.

　Daryl takes the fire dragon's hate first, while Tsutomu gives everyone support. Daryl and Amira. Hannah and Diniel split up and head towards the fire dragon.

　Daryl was promptly blown away by a slash with his claws, catching it with his large shield. The fire dragon's power was higher than expected, and he rolled around on the ground, unable to get a fragile passivity. Garum let out a sigh and then took a bite of the griburger with the stewed bear meat in between.

　For a while, Daryl was confused by the strongest attack he'd ever received, and kept getting blown up in a strange position. However, with Tsutomu's supportive recovery and instructions, he gradually returned to his natural body and was finally able to take a decent passive position.

　In the meantime, Amira and Diniel attacked the fire dragon. The two attackers are generally high in firepower and have enough power. But they also follow the hate management instructed by Tsutomu, so the fire dragon's gaze doesn't turn to the two of them.

　And then Hannah stepped forward, emitting a red fighting spirit as she changed to Daryl, who was getting tired. She used various attack skills to damage the fire dragons while also adding Combat Cry to gain hate at once.

　After taking the hate from Daryl, Hannah continued to attack the fire dragon. It was like an attacker's move. While attracting the fire dragon, she attacks it to gain more hate.

　Hanna stopped attacking at Tsutomu's instruction and then continued to dodge the fire dragon's attacks incessantly. The complex aerial maneuvering that is achieved by using the blue wings on its back. The fire dragon couldn't keep up with that maneuverability, and then she switched tanks with Daryl without being hit even once.


(After all, that's interesting.)


　Garum's mouth loosens involuntarily at the success of a different kind of tank than himself. It's interesting that it's a tank that avoids all attacks. And since he also attacks monsters more intensely than other tanks, he'll be able to continue the battle quite dominantly. If you look at it, it looks like it's completely upwardly compatible with Daryl.


(But I suppose the problem would be when he gets hit. A fist fighter with such a light armor and not a high VIT. Death would definitely be inevitable.)


　Of course, there is a big risk in that stand-off. If a bad one stood around like that, he would soon die and be useless. But Hannah has the foundation that she has cultivated as an attacker, and her abilities as a tank have been equipped in the past two months. That's why she wouldn't die even if she took on a fire dragon.


''Dragonization.''
"Rain Arrow.


　Amira can use her unique skill of weaponry to reach a level that is impossible for ordinary people to reach. On the other hand, Diniel has accurate and unparalleled marksmanship, a level that can only be reached after nearly eighty years of accumulation, as well as a body that still shows no signs of weakening. The ability of these two attackers is also impeccable.


Medic. Haste.


　And it's Tsutomu who makes the most of the abilities of all four of them. When Daryl is tanked, he is a steady support with a focus on protection. When Hannah is tanked, she provides hastening-focused support.

　The support for Daryl is almost the same as it was for Garum, so he won't have that much trouble. But Hannah's case is different, she has to apply the haste to match her complex aerial maneuvers that not even her monsters are able to capture.

　The support for Diniel probably isn't much different from what she was doing to Amy. However, I'm even hitting the red emitting Amira with a medic in addition to the Haste.


(.........Perhaps Camille's daughter hasn't been able to control her dragonization yet.


　During her dragonification, she seemed to be flailing about without seeming to care about her surroundings. In fact, while Amira was being dragonized, everyone was keeping her in sight and paying attention to her positioning.


(And if they sensed danger...)
Medic.
(So Tutom hits the Medic to unleash the dragonization.)


　When Tsutomu decides that she's too much of a hate-taker or the wear and tear from the dragonization, she comes to her senses when the medic is hit by Amira. It was up to Amira to decide when to turn on the dragonization and let Tsutomu decide when to turn it off. That was the warfare method the two of them had created.

　Amira's Dragonization is powerful, but it is a double-edged sword. It is a skill that can hurt not only you, but even your allies. However, if the people around you have the ability to match Amira, and with a wielder named Tsutomu, Ryuka is not a double-edged sword, but a sword that cuts through only the enemy.


''Oraa!''


　Until now, once she used Dragonization, she couldn't deactivate it on her own and couldn't fight on her own. However, thanks to the fact that she no longer loses consciousness after using the Dragonization, she is able to resume fighting even after using it. Amira's skills are still inexperienced, but she is not weak. Thanks to the improved coordination with Daryl, she is sufficient as an attacker without dragonization.

　And most importantly, she was happy to be able to participate in the battle even after dragonization. Up until now, if she used dragonization, she would lose consciousness and the battle would be over when she realized it, but now it was different. Amira enjoying the battle with the monsters will be able to expect more growth in the future.


(Mm, no problem.)


　Garum, who found himself finishing a large amount of food, ordered more with a satisfied look on his face. There were several occasions when Hannah had a cringe when her breath was grazed by Hannah and her feather almost caught on fire, and there were several occasions when Amira was reckless and nearly died. In Garum's eyes, Daryl is also still growing.

　But even so, he was no match for a fire dragon. Even if someone collapsed, Diniel and Tsutomu would turn around to follow up, so they didn't cause that much damage. And the Infinite Circle beat the Fire Dragon around noon without anyone dying.


(I can't afford to lose, either.)


　Garum had also recently challenged the Mounted Golem at work, but he had the feeling that he would not be able to match it. However, seeing the infinite circle that was happy to have broken through the fire dragon made him feel better.

　Sooner or later, Garum was going to join the Infinite Circle as well. Garum clenched one fist, thinking that he would further cultivate himself so that he would not lose at that time.
