Daryl, who was breathing a bit hard, reacted to Xeno's shout and suppressed the attack as much as possible while drawing the fire dragon to him. And after a little while, the fire dragon turned towards Zeno, who was using his skills to make use of his hate.

　Zeno's silver armor, which can be seen through the gaps in his red armor, is shining as if tinged with light, an effect caused by the holy knight's unique skill called Ember Aura. It is a skill that can reduce the decline in abilities caused by environmental changes in the dungeon by granting it, and it was also tinted with a glowing zeno color.

　But in the canyon, there is no decrease in ability due to environmental changes, so it is a completely useless use of the skill to just glow. However, its appearance was very noticeable from the perspective of the spectators on the divine platform.


''Come on!　Come down to me!


　When Xeno said that, the fire dragon crawled towards it as if it were crawling on the ground, while the God's Eye, which was transferring the image to the God's Table, also headed towards it. The God's Eye followed Xeno's instructions to somewhat respect the explorer's will.

　Just taking on a powerful fire dragon alone is something that would make any person cower in fear. Daryl, too, when he first fought, the tension caused by fear prevented him from moving his body as he would have liked, and he would have rolled over unceremoniously and suffered serious injuries.


''More!　More!　You can't beat me with those things!


　However, after being blown away by the fire dragon's sideways calmness by its paws, Zeno took a firm passive position and quickly regained his stance. Then, as if to provoke him, he sent an overflowing silver combat cry from his body.

　The word "nervousness" does not exist in Zeno. The only thing that exists is an overflowing confidence.

　However, even if that confidence allows you to draw out all of your abilities, it is extremely difficult to face the fire dragons for the first time. Unless you have the potential of a mad dog, which was the only one famous enough to be known in an era when tank positions began to drop out of the front lines one by one, it would be impossible.

　But Xeno has made a tremendous amount of steady effort to reach the heights of the 70th level at his wife's advice. It's almost impossible for an attacker or tanker to reach level 70 unless they belong to a major clan.

　However, Xeno had no experience of being a member of a major clan. He had been in a mid-sized clan a few times, but his strength of character, his own strength, was not very welcome and he was always advised to leave.

　No one recognized Xeno. If I said something, I would be met with a disapproving look. Still, I could be better than that. In an attempt to become someone alongside the mad dog Garum, Zeno was scrambling alone as the tank positions were being cut off from the front lines.

　A woman from the school where he was enrolled in the King's Capital came to check on him. She had earned enough money to make a living from her activities as a labyrinth maniac, and then she began to offer various advice to Zeno.

　First of all, Zeno was advised to gather tank jobs and hunt efficiently, and then enroll in a profit-sharing clan to save money. But Xeno didn't want to do that at first. He had flown all the way out of the royal capital to the labyrinth city and still hadn't gotten any results. Nevertheless, he couldn't stand the idea of taking another detour.

　However, when the woman confronted him about the current situation and argued that he had to drink bitterness to do it, Xeno made a steady effort to take out his frustration. He gathered his own tankers to form a small clan, and he never missed practicing the basics of dungeons while completing tough dungeon searches.

　While spending those busy days, Zeno learned how to write articles from the woman who is now his wife. First, he stabilized his life and then, with the help of his wife, he was able to raise the bar even higher.

　When he was able to make a lot of money from his own articles, Zeno further refined his skills and level. After that, Zeno used the money he earned from his own explorations and articles, as well as the aid of his wife, who is a labyrinth maniac, to hire a PT member to challenge the fire dragons many times.

　That's why he can afford it even at the sixty levels that he hasn't been able to break through. That's why he has the confidence to pull others up. That previous effort was also the source of Xeno's solid confidence.

　Instantly sensing that his throat flashed thinly, Zeno put his fire armor deeply on and prevented the fire dragon's breath. He then gracefully avoided the swinging paw as if to strike, and twisted his shortsword, aiming between claw and skin.


''Fuhahahahaha!　Ouch!


　The fire dragon let out an irritated scream at the voice that seemed to inspire his anger and crawled over to trample Xeno. He flipped his fire armor like a cloak and ran backwards to escape.

　He got on all fours and stretched out his neck to avoid the fire dragon that tried to bite him, and the swinging away of the chase neck like a whip was firmly prevented from impact with his hand shield. The xeno was blown away like a ball struck by a bat, but it didn't seem to be hindered in any way.

　In the meantime, Diniel is chipping away at the scales, and Melcho is accumulating damage to the fire dragon with blows made more powerful by the colorless magic stone. The fire dragon cries out in pain at Melcho's heavy fist that penetrates the strong scales and reaches the internal organs.

　After all, Melcho is still not used to the three different roles, so he may tend to overdo it. Just as the fire dragon is about to turn towards Melchou, a huge silver qi that cannot be ignored overflows from behind it.


''Totally. Don't look at anyone but me. Don't you make me jealous?''


　Xeno's expression was filled with a sense of composure that made even a reasonable person want to attack him unintentionally. It was unclear if he read that, but the fire dragon nailed Xeno again.


''You don't have to use magic stones anymore.''
That's right. We'll do our best.


　Melcho stopped shattering the magic stone and went towards the fire dragon with pure power, just as Diniel had told him to do. Considering that he was still producing as much firepower as an ordinary attacker, it was really better to do so.


''Taunt Swingu!''


　Xeno struck the fire dragon's paw with a light-clad hand shield and was flung away by a long tail waved from the side. It was blown wide open, but he immediately grasped the situation and took a passive position and released a thin combat cry in return.

　Xeno's skill use was more frequent than Daryl's, but he hadn't yet run out of mental power. It was partly because his MND (Mental Power) was two levels higher than Daryl's, but it was also because he had practiced various skills thoroughly on his wife's advice. Although things like making him grant colors are useless in terms of mental power, there is no other waste.


'Corrina-kun!　I have a few suggestions!　I wonder if I can do that!
What is it?
'Could you make your healing wishes a little more frequent, huh!　I know you can do it!
Okay, I understand.


　Corina nodded to Zeno, who was straining a very loud voice while being attacked by the fire dragons, and increased the turnover rate of her wishes with a nod of her head.

　Xeno's resounding voice passes well without any loudspeakers. He had the right voice and atmosphere for an instructional role and mood maker. Now that he has the groundwork of the three roles and a strong group of friends, Zeno shines brightly.


''Come on!　Entertain me!


　The fire dragon replied with a roar to Xeno, who held his shortsword in front of him and shouted that.


　--Oo----.


　Then the tank was taken in turns by Daryl and Xeno, with Corina acting as a steady healer, surprised at the lack of deaths. And the older group's attacker pushed through in the end with an amazing amount of firepower and was able to take out the fire dragons in a few hours without a stunner.


''That's.......amazing.''


　After blocking the fire dragon's movement with the last Stream Arrow, a fist of demonic flow using the Thunder Demon Stone by Melcho. The fire dragon was particulate in a blow that gave the illusion that lightning had really struck, and the fire dragon screamed out in despair. Daryl's voice trembled a little as he witnessed the scene.


'You shouldn't have used it.'
"Hohoho. The Thunder Demon Stone is difficult to control. I wanted to practice.


　Melcho stroked his white beard while laughing happily as he shook his fist, which was littered with yellow chi residue, to dispel the magic. Diniel's calculation was that he was going to finish it off with his own three stream arrows, but it looks like Melcho's powerful blow took it all away. So I don't have a good look on my face.


''Huh. It was well deserved.
..........


　It seems that Zeno's words, who is wearing a tattered fire armor, did not seem to be heard, and Korina is just stunned. Although the fire dragons are already hierarchical masters that have been surpassed one after another by high ranking mid-tier clans and others, it is still true that their rank was different from the monsters until now. The fact that they were able to easily break through such a sixty level hierarchy didn't make Korina feel any sense of reality.

　Daryl lightly called out to Korina to bring her back to her senses, then retrieved the Great Magic Stone of Fire and looked around at everyone.


''Well then, let's call it a day. Good work.''
Yes, thank you for your efforts. I didn't think you'd get this far in a week.
'No, no!　And since Mr. Melcho went out of his way to help me!


　Daryl bowed his head in horror and then they all entered the black gate and transitioned to the guild. Daryl then asked for confirmation.


''Melcho-san is going to work tomorrow, right?''
I suppose so. I have to go to King's Landing once, and that may take up to a week of your time. So we'll meet again in a week.


　Melcho's position is the head of the nobleman's private army corps, which means that he's under the umbrella of the Babenberg family, for one thing. Especially since there is an annual martial arts tournament to be held in the royal capital in a few months, Melcho, the previous winner, is often called upon for something.


''Yes. ''I understand. Well, let's meet up again in a week's time in the morning at the guild.''
Hmm. Since there is a possibility of delay, I'll send one of my men to get the details. See you soon.
'Yes!　Thank you again!


　Melcho returned a smiling smile to Daryl, who bowed his head cheerfully, and then walked out of the guild with his hands on his hips and his back straightened.


'I can finally rest. One week.


　Diniel, who had worked for a week straight, even though it had been an easy search, said in a voice that sounded refreshed.


'You have three days off.
Yeah, I see.
''It's Xeno-san's first time from the volcano hierarchy. I'll have to get used to it a bit before Melcho-san comes back!
Yes.


　Diniel looked disappointed, but didn't object, and seemed to be thinking about the three days of rest that were about to begin. Xeno and Corina also nodded in agreement with Daryl's words.


''Hmph. So we're finally on the sixty-one level. I can't seem to contain my excitement at the thought that my legend is about to begin.''
Oh, I see. Well, let's just go home for now. I have to fix my broken equipment.
'Yes!　By the way, your equipment is quite sturdy, isn't it!


　Compared to Zeno, who ruined three pieces of armor, Daryl only had one piece of armor broken. Even though Xeno's equipment was not sturdy because he put no small amount of emphasis on appearance, Daryl was hit more times than I was.

　Daryl turned his nose up at Xeno's praise as if it were his own.


'It's Doren-san's equipment, you know!　I'm not afraid of a fire dragon attack!
I'm surprised to learn that you use the same workshop equipment as Garum. It's a little unglamorous for me to wear, but its performance is commendable.


　It was true that Daryl's equipment looked rugged compared to Xeno's equipment. However, the heavy armor made with the skills of a dwarf who has dedicated his time to forging for a long time would be one of the top-ranked pieces of work in this labyrinth city.


I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work. I thought you were just someone who was shown mercy by Garum, but I guess I was mistaken. Well, you won't win against me, but you're definitely on the right track.
''Haha.... Thank you.


　Daryl couldn't help but chuckle at Xeno's words, which were not at all sarcastic.
