Rhode finally got his answer after hearing Metzel’s explanation Although Delno was a Battle Angel in-training and the undead creatures by the entrance didn’t pose a probleeon which was out of their reach Perhaps they would’ve retreated at the entrance if they didn’t have a Battle Angel with them

Rhode didn’t doubt Metzel too roup battled with the Necroroup of ainst hiht be the captured ones…

“So then, what plans do you have next?” Rhode asked

“I…” Metzel bit his lips

Logically speaking, since he was lucky enough to survive the ordeal, the best choice would be to return horeedy creatures, so Metzel hesitated afterman who just started his adventures and his honor and responsibilities hadn’t been ground with harsh life experiences If a seasoned ht have left iratitude After all, the one and only life important was his and there was no need to risk it for soh to not escape froerous place now that he had the chance

However, Metzel didn’t choose to do so He knehat the best choice was, but his co more to offer in this place But what about the companions that the Necromancer had captured? Those companions listened to his order to visit Castel Plateau and he was responsible for their dire situation So was it right for hiive up?

An irresponsible leader was indeed a headache forsense of responsibilities wasn’t that good either Rhode reh his hesitant expression After all, Metzel’s decision wouldn’t matter to Rhode

After a few moments, Metzel seemed to have decided He shut his eyes and took in a deep breath before lifting his head “Pardon my rudeness, Mr Rhode May I knohy you are here?”

“I guess perhaps you guys aren’t aware that this is the Castel Plateau Ruins, which is a dedicated 5 Star Mission for guilds We’re here to coht,” Rhode answered

“5 Star Mission…!” Metzel was flabbergasted and color drained out of his face Although he was just a leader of a sroup of mercenaries, he was still aware of the mercenary missions and a 5 Star Mission was a presence out of his reach Initially, he felt that this underground ruins wasn’t that siined

Metzel gnashed his teeth and gazed at Rhode “Mr Rhode, I have a request…”

“I knohat you are going to ask” Rhode interrupted Metzel’s words without hesitation “But this isn’tas you don’t hinder us We won’t take special care of you and we definitely won’t stop you frolinted as he bowed to Rhode respectfully and turned around “shi+rley”

“Metzel?” A young lady treating her companion’s wounds stood up hurriedly “What’s the ht leather arer in her belt She see lady naazed curiously

Metzel pondered for aa coin pouch fro it on shi+rley’s hand The young lady accepted the coin pouch in confustion as she gazed curiously at Metzel “shi+rley, I will continue our task bythe others back to the city This coin pouch has all the money that we have accumulated to date I initially planned to expand our tearoup However, it is all uys back and split the money with them Then disband our team… As for our fallen companions, I will need to trouble you to compensate their families… This is all that I can do for the lady widened her eyes in shock as she couldn’t believe her ears “Metzel, are you crazy? You want to stay here? Didn’t we suffer enough!?”

“But…” Metzel paused

“I knohat you are going to say, but Metzel, this isn’t your responsibility No one knew that there would be this powerful Necroel Sir couldn’t defeat So, what’s the point of you staying in this place? I understand that you have a strong sense of responsibility, but not only do you need to think of our captured coreed to your calling and gathered for adventures together as a mercenary team And we promised and made it very clear that ouldn’t repent if any of us were to die But now… you choose to abandon us?” shi+rley exclaiood 8 prossed in their arguainst the wall to admire the show At this moment, Anne hopped her way to Rhode’s side and tilted her head as she gazed curiously at the two of the?”

“Shhh… Shut up and watch the show This is quite interesting” Rhode feigned ignorance as he placed a finger by his lips

Anne piqued her curiosity and nodded with her an to concentrate on the TV drama

This was a true blue soap opera and a third-rate one at best There was nothing to describe the dispute between the two of the lady named shi+rley objected violently, the bullet-headed Metzel didn’t see to Metzel, he wouldn’t give up regardless of if his companions were alive or dead Even if they had been transformed into monsters by the Necromancer, he needed to see it to believe it To Rhode, their debate was really boring However, since there was a live romantic soap opera before them, it would be a waste not to watch it On the other hand, Anne watched eagerly and it went to show that as long as one was a fee no matter the place or tihteously

“Idiot!” The young lady snarled and slapped Metzel on his cheek

Pow! Rhode and Anne couldn’t help but shrink their heads as the clear, crisp slap echoed throughout the space shi+rley turned around and stomped off to her other coht slap seeed to He aardly stroked his cheek as he gazed rather reluctantly at shi+rley’s back
