Chapter 41 (1/2)

The Prelude of Collapse

The group sloent down the mountain road

That wasn’t unusual For the city’s residents, it was a faht

Explorers returned alive from the labyrinth It was a daily routine

Even if veteran parties searched through a different area, they would usually be able to handle the exploration

“W-we’re here~”

Quickly passing through the gate, Lulu, as using a walking stick, collapsed

She didn’t think about annoying passersby She didn’t have the composure to

Like caught fish, the other ainst the wall of the building along the roadside

“Seriously, I thought that ere going to die this time”

Though Ria was the only person with a nonchalant attitude, her equiped

She didn’t have any armor, just clothes Holes were scattered here and there, tehts to the men

They were spare clothes These were the last ones

Even though she could use genesis ical poas precious and the other members were exhausted

She was saving her ency, so she turned out like this in the end

Indeed, it was a miracle no one died

Serge was laying on Rudolph’s back, asleep as though he were dead

All of the warrior’s ares used theirit until they started burning their life force

More than a month had already passed since the fors

The first agreed upon trial period had passed and their roles were firmly set Everyone concluded it was fine to continue as they had been doing

Then, froth they had, this was the result of just a little unreasonableness

Until now, Thunder’s Fangs had went up to the thirty-sixth floor The final floor they reached this time was the forty-ninth

The King Hydra, that was an extree Identified

There were also unreasonably aroups

The arical creatures were hell

Things like the Flahtmarish

They defeated all of them They didn’t run They couldn’t run

Defeating the King Hydra, they started to return, but were attacked en route

“Thinking about it, the Dark Dragonin front of us”

Shouldering Lulu, Ria spoke to Vargas

“With its strength, it certainly could have been the gatekeeper”

Leaning his back against the wall exhausted, Vargas responded

The King Hydra was strong It er

If there was a stronger deon Rather, could a Dragon be stronger than that?

“Has Cell fought against a Dragon?”

Ria asked while changing the shoulder she lent out Since elves had long lives, she believed they would also have a lot of experiences

“Only a Sub-Dragon Not a genuine Dragon”

Ria had experienced slaughter if it was a Sub-Dragon It was crushed though

(Even so…)

Ria thought The town’s at parties careet them?

There was little traffic Nor the streets, but there were very few people now

Nevertheless, it was tiht in their current state Apart from herself, it would take many days for the other humans to recover

“Alright everyone~, get up~ Tio home~”

Apart froo take a bath

Everyone roup of zoroup returned to the inn

“Ueh?”

Soe amount of people inside the inn

The dining room on the first floor was co Thefor some reason

Could they even be called patrons to begin with?

She wanted to ask what the heck happened

Surely a Dragon didn’t appear nearby of soree

Certainly, if that was hoas she would understand

While reading to the hotel’s counter, Ria didn’t think that her prediction would prove right

Her prediction was off the mark

Off in a bad direction

When she hesitatingly asked about it at the counter, the receptionist girl answered

“It seems the Imperial Capital disappeared”

“Eh? Huh?”

Ria unintentionally let out a strange voice

She didn’t understand what she meant

If you spoke about the Imperial Capital, it was the Imperial Capital The capital of the empire

There was only one eon Bone Continent The nation founded by the Saint Emperor Ryuke shi+faka, the empire in the center of the continent

The empire had no name Nameless, it was the only empire like that
