An Extra’s POV Chapter 441 Heroic Rank Gathering [Pt 5]

Chapter 441 Heroic Rank Gathering [Pt 5]

“As long as they wear masks to protect themselves from inhaling the Miasma, they should be good.”

Some eyes were sensitive to Miasma, so it was better for the mask to cover their faces completely. That way, they could protect most of the openings that allowed stuff into the body.

“Wearing basic Adventurer wear should also protect the body, though Miasma is only dangerous to a person’s health if it is taken into the system, where the Mana network really is.”

It had such a simple prevention method, yet Miasma Poisoning was one of the most difficult things to treat. Of course, depending on the severity of the poisoning, the difficulty could go down a few notches.

The reason for it being so complex was due to the Mana Network being corrupted.

In a simple case of Miasma Poisoning, simply ingesting a potent Mana Potion to boost your Mana by introducing new and fresh energy to the body would cure it. However, depending on how far the corruption went, it would only serve to make the matter worse, as the Miasma would simply corrupt the foreign Mana, compounding the issue even more.

Eventually, the entire body would be corrupted, and since the human body wasn’t built to handle Miasma, such a person was bound to die.

Even those with Miasma-related Skills experienced side-effects from using them due to the weakness of the body itself.

Perhaps, in the future, the human body would adapt to Miasma, but since the stuff was so rare, that didn’t seem like a prospect that would happen anytime soon.

“I’ll make a few recommendations to the audience, so the Guild should have done its due diligence in that regard. Is that fine?”

Jet nodded upon hearing the words of the Guildmaster, and so the discussion continued.

“For this Conquest, I want the Heroic Rank Adventurers to form a separate Party from the rest.” Richard said, his tone as serious as possible.

As one would expected, the audience was a bit surprised to hear this.

“We’re going to lead the front lines, hence taking on the first blows and facing the biggest risks.”

Thinking about things objectively, this would drastically reduce the mortality rate of the other participating Adventurers.

If the Heroic Rank Adventurers were to lead the charge, that would take a lot of heat off the rest.

“Will the others accept this, though? I mean, it might look like we’re hogging all the good stuff to ourselves.” Sherlock asked, his tone as casual as his expression.

“It doesn’t matter what they think. Even if they try to whine about it, the truth is that they would do the same if given the opportunity.” Britta responded with a cold tone.

“Britta is right. Besides, considering the risk we’re taking by taking the front, it would be foolish for them to try to raise such criticisms.”

“Okay. Fair enough.” Sherlock said with a mild shrug.

“So, what do you say? Is that an agreement? All of us forming a separate party.”

For a moment, there was silence. Jet glanced at Lux, and the two nodded at each other. The others also took a moment to consider it.

Then—

“I don’t mind. Sounds fun.” Sherlock grinned with excitement.

“I would also like that very much.” Sebas added with a smile. “It would be a great privilege fighting alongside you all.”

His words of reverence felt a bit misplaced and overly formal, given the mood, but since he was a newbie, everyone understood where he was coming from.

“It’s not a big deal. No one should steal my kill, though.” Britta said with a slight frown on her face.

She especially glared at Noah, most likely due to an incident that she just happened to remember at the moment.

“We agree to that.” Jet spoke on behalf of him and Lux, and the latter’s nod was proof of her agreement.

With all five of them in agreement, Richard nodded and smiled with satisfaction.

“That’s good. Now, I’ll explain the formation in more details to you…”

[Moments Later]

The meeting finally ended, and it was finally time for the ceremony.

All the Heroic Rank Adventurers ascended the stairs until they reached the very rooftop of the Guild Building.

It had a barricade surrounding the flat surface, and from the top of this massive structure, one could see pretty much every facet of the city.

That is, if they stayed at the edge.

If all the denizens had superhuman vision, they could also all witness what was happening at the edge of the building’s peak.

“Alright now…” Richard stepped on a particular tile in front of him, causing something like a thin pillar to rise from beneath the ground.

It resembled an Enchanted Item, because it was one.

“It’s imbued with Sound Magic, so it should amplify our voices. Also, it has Image Capturing Magic, so it’ll project our image to the sky.”

While Richard was explaining, the Item warbled and began to scan the area. It needed about a minute of calibration to begin its function, so everyone waited patiently for the time.

Excitement was rife in the air, especially on the part of the older Adventurers.

It was very rare to see a Heroic Rank Adventurer, though the fact that they had done this very thing just two weeks ago still felt surreal.

Sherlock had become such an integral Adventurer that it felt like he had been around for longer.

~FSHIIIIIII!~

Finally, the pillar completely came to life, beaming with such radiance that it instantly shrouded the bodies of the six Heroic Rank Adventurers present.

This was a scan to fully capture their image.

Before long, a massive projection shot up to the sky, instantly drawing the attention of everyone who was going on with whatever business they had.

No one could resist the urge to look up and see the real-time projection of the Adventurers on stage.

Then… the roaring sound came. The most uptodat𝓮 n𝒐vels are published on n0velbjn((.))com

“THE TIME HAS COME, EVERYONE!” It came from Richard, and his excited voice reverberated across the city.

“I PRESENT TO YOU… THE NEW HEROIC RANK ADVENTURERS!”
