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

“By the way, the other captain who challenged Rei was completely played with by him, but when he saw us finish, it ended with Rei biting and shattering his weapon.

Ace’s opponent was blown away during the initial clash, so it was already over a long time ago.

And as for Earl’s opponent, it hadn’t even begun.”

“Uh…”

In front of Earl stood a knight trembling and frozen in place.

He must have taken the full force of the original 『Dragon’s Roar』…

“Well… You’re really strong,” Lord Cecilm approached, clapping his hands.

“With that, the Dragon Zombie must have been a piece of cake for you, right?”

“No way. I had half of my body taken away.”

The knights murmured at Milim’s words.

“Are you kidding…?! You easily dodged Captain Fryud’s attacks like that?!”

“Seriously, who would struggle against someone that powerful in the first place…”

“Hey… Isn’t it a good thing we didn’t have to go?”

It seems like our objective had been achieved. I could sense the hostility fading from the knights’ faces.

“Weren’t you the one struggling more?”

“Well… I was on the verge of death, and there was such a huge gap in power that I couldn’t even move at first.”

I went along with their understanding and responded. As planned, not only the knights but even Grois, the captain, seemed to view us in a softer light.

“So, the real deal starts now, right?”

Milim said with anticipation, but Lord Cecilm’s response was hesitant.

“Haha. It’s true that there are members in the guild who are stronger in one-on-one combat than the captains… but I’m not sure if we have anyone capable enough after seeing that just now…”

While Lord Cecilm said that and scanned the knights, they all averted their gaze at once.

Amidst that, there was one knight who stepped forward.

“Pardon me!”

“Oh?”

It was the blonde knight, Isle, who appeared.

“Isle is going… After witnessing something like that, she’s still willing to go… Truly, it’s Isle.”

“Indeed, Isle might be the strongest right now. She’s stubborn as well.”

The surrounding people seemed to have a high opinion of her.

And it was evident that her personality matched the impression she gave off with her stern appearance.

“Well, that may be true. It could be a good experience,” I said.

“In that case…”

“But,” Lord Cecilm interrupted Isle, who was brimming with enthusiasm, and said:

“I have a better idea.”

“A better idea…?”

Isle tilted her head at Lord Cecilum’s words.
