An S-ranked Party’s Burden Tamer, I Awoke My True Power by Having My Familiar Killed

Chapter 41: Ex-Party’s Perspective(2)

“Well, I had an idea of the amount of miasma, but… it’s quite large, isn’t it?”

The remains of a dragon, its facial area alone was the size of a house.

It was a glimpse of a creature so enormous that its entire shape could not be seen.

“So, according to your estimate, how long will it last?”

“Well, as long as we don’t do anything unnecessary, it should last for several decades. And after several decades, the dragon’s magic will run out, so it should be back to its original state in a hundred years or so.”

“That’s good to hear.”

For now, it seemed that the investigation was to be completed without any issues.

“Now we just need to check if there are any other vessels around here.”

“I might be able to help with that. By performing Necromancy aimed at the area several times while walking, I could perform exorcism on any undead demons or animals that had wandered into the area. If there was a response, we can go there and dispose of the body.”

“Alright, let’s go.”

“Yes.”

Once again, we passed through the miasma, which opened up like a path with just a wave of Milim’s hands, and the investigation of the dragon’s graveyard proceeded smoothly.

◇

After Land and Milim had arrived, four adventurers had also entered the dragon’s graveyard.

“Damn it… what the hell was that thing Land was on!?”

“Rei…”

“Stupid…! That dog was supposed to be just a one-horned wolf!”

“Is it Existence Evolution? Legendary Tamers had the ability to promote the evolution of their familiars…”

“You idiot! There’s no way Land could become a legendary Tamer!”

The thought of Land being a useless minion with no ability to use magic had stuck in the minds of the four, especially Roig, and they couldn’t shake it off.

To be precise, they couldn’t change their thought process. If they were to admit it, they would be reminded of their mistake in judgment at that time…

“Anyway, let’s head towards the dragon first and confirm the situation.”

“I hope Land doesn’t do anything stupid…”

“However… the miasma here is far worse than when we came last time…”

Quella wondered if she could have dispelled this miasma if she had received the formal request. But she couldn’t come up with an answer.

Quella of a little while ago might have been able to come up with an accurate answer, but for her now, admitting it and executing it were unacceptable in terms of her own and her organization’s pride.

The answer that had sprouted in the depths of her heart was, “If she brought several priests with her, she could completely dispel the miasma.” But she no longer had the luxury of relying on others, in many senses of the word.

“Alright! Let’s go! I’ll lead the way! Don’t fall behind this time, okay!?”

“Wait, Roig! The miasma is so thick that we might lose sight of each other if we get separated!”

“That’s why I’m telling you not to fall behind! Let’s go!”

Ignoring Fade’s protests, Roig boldly moved forward, and Quella and Meiru followed closely behind as Fade took up the rear.

In contrast to Land’s group, they began their investigation of the unstable dragon graveyard, where their visibility was severely limited.
