Not long after Raust landed his attack, the phoenix subjugation was over.
Even after Raust’s attack cut through its head, its vitality that border abnormality kept it alive.
However, it no longer had any energy to heal its wound and in the end, its head was crushed by Narsena, killing it.
That was how the labyrinth’s lower-layer’s phoenix, a super-high difficulty monster that given a little more time, would have mutated and shaken the entire labyrinth city, met its quick end.
It was a miraculous event.
The phoenix hadn’t finished mutating and it was full of wounds.
Even so, it was strengthened to the point of absurdity.
「……To end this so easily…」
……But, despite the quest ended safely, the feeling I felt was not relief, but shock.
「Hahh~ hahh~」
With a sidelong glance, I could see Raust breathing heavily.
Easily is not a correct word to say seeing Raust’s figure whose fatigue really apparent.
Despite thinking that, I still couldn’t wipe that feeling out of my heart.
That was because the phoenix was almost completely defeated by Narsena and Raust alone.
Perhaps, as a world-class adventurer, Raust who was praised for having exceptional ability if you exclude heroes, had now stepped into the same realm as people on the same level as Master.
I was under that impression as I recalled that slash Raust did to cut through phoenix’s head.
「……You’re kidding right?」
…However, I couldn’t accept that fact.
That slash stuck in my head.
It was proof of Raust’s outstanding ability.
And yet, despite witnessing that slash with my own eyes, I still couldn’t accept that.
—Raust has no potential. It’s already good if he can become a common adventurer after spending his entire life struggling.
The reason was this Ronaldo’s words, said when he, as our master, judge the new disciple ability.
Master, unlike the world-class magician, Raia-san, was more focused on training his successor.
Most knights in the country were said to have had Master trained them.
With that achievement, his ability to judge other people was certain.
…And, that Master had said that Raust had no talent.
Those words had a weight unimaginable by common people.
After all, Master had found talents in many no matter how talentless they appeared to be.
That Master had clearly stated that he had no talent.
So, when I heard about Raust defeating a mutated hydra, I became interested in this person called Raust.
However, I still thought that Raust only had a certain degree of ability.
Defeating the mutated hydra alongside Raust was Narsena.
She was someone that Ronaldo-san said to have a talent that could lead her into becoming a world-class adventurer.
Narsena had led the mutated hydra subjugation, while Raust was at least capable enough as her support.
That was why I lost my composure from seeing Raust’s ability that far exceed my imagination and I couldn’t take my eyes off him.
Despite the fact that we were currently stripping materials from the phoenix.
I tried to focus on stripping the material, but my sight was sucked toward Raust.
