Ryuu to Ayumu Nariagari Boukensha-dou - Vol. 4 Ch. 23 - Forcing one's way through

[DarkeLourd]

Oh, just let them die, it's not like anyone important is there, both of the valuable members of that party - the ones who aren't human scum, and the ones who have a high rank and deserve it - already left.

what am I even thinking. Be best if he dies here.

Can't wait for those cunts to die an mc to meet up with yuki. This has dragged out too long at this point

People always get so bloodthirsty around this sort of manga. Some manga do lean into it but I prefer it when the traitors are actually given a chance to reflect on their mistakes and are given a chance to change.

And only then the leader that inevitably chooses not to become a better person gets crushed into red paste.

Alternatively, where the traitor party continues to turn on each other one by one until the last one has committed irredeemable atrocities, then gets killed by the MC. Which is kind of the same thing if you think about it, aside from the part where they all decided to keep being bastards.

I'm guessing that tiger is just some kind of pet of the boss

 

[kingarthur020500]

It's clearly just going to tank it and then it'll turn their butts inside out

I guess they're sending MC and his dragon waifu.

If the Guildmaster asks Dion for help, her likeablity drops to rock-bottom, since she knows exactly what they did to him <_<

Also their brain be like > Normal Mobs in this dungeon kick our ass, so we can surely oneshot the boss of said dungeon 🥴

Well, Dion already set out there actually, so Guildmaster's probably thinking about someone else. UPD: then again, he may or may not have (yet) notified her about going to the dungeon with a leader of the investigation team, so maybe i'm wrong. But, there was a panel with some kind of mansion in the city right after she mentioned her contacts, so maybe i'm not? 😅

As for the party - all the previous discussions about Shadow Knights made them look like they hardly were "Normal Mobs". And given their numbers, taking on a single boss instead of being trapped in a room until their mage's mana runs out does not sound like a bad idea.

Also, plot-wise wizard chick got more chances to get killed. Party leader Whatshisname is MC's antagonist. Brandall's got possessed by some kind of entity recently. Ponytail girl was being hinted at being conflicted about the leader and the whole party dynamics. Meanwhile wizard chick is just being an irredeemable bitch.

People keep complaining about OP MCs.

Now people want OP MC to show up and embarrass the party.

Seems like the fans are part of the problem.

 

[PechWild]

So, that's gonna be a huge fail.

Also, saying here: that tiger will be Dion's new party member.

If the shadow knights are the only anomality, then the boss should be easy to defeat.
I reckon the shadows will be able to join the boss room anyway.

 

[PinkManiac]

it seems like the Bald one is going to die judging by the new cover of the manga.

Or perhaps he will decide he is too good for that party. It feels like he has been taking on the leader role a lot lately, plus he seems stronger than the leader now.

According to the WN

Spoiler: Story

Yuki lost the fight against the Guild Master, but she knows that Dion is alive, so she's sent out to rescue the party of sociopaths at first she does well until she's overwhelmed, when she's about to die Dion shows up with his Dragon waifu to save her.
While Dion is fighting the black shadow knights, Yuki learns the truth about what the party did to Dion, so she beat the shit out of Segrit.
She then joins Dion's party

Their most pressing matter is being outnumbered. They could hold off a few of those shadow armors. Sometimes I have an easier time beating a boss in a video game than getting ganked by a bunch of mobs where I will be attacked 360, get stunlocked, and die. Then they had two choices: try their luck reaching the faraway exit, or against the boss (either defeat it or stall until rescue arrives).

This is how I wiped my party in DnD. They would make easy work out of any stronger boss monster I threw there way, so when they made the wrong choice of going into a bog controlled by a witch instead of just paying a bridge toll, I decided to throw in 6-7 mid-level monsters their way. Turns out even their OP characters couldn't survive when facing off against that.

 

[Kikeemu]

Not a main course, disappointed but still thankful for the snack.

 

[MiguelH224]

GGs scumbags, I hope Cindy is the first one to go down, then following that dumbass leader of theirs

 

[nobody2002]

They kinda milking this situation.

 

[SSRBReader]

That was funny, they almost cooked themselves to death. They made an oven room.

 

[Naeko]

it seems like the Bald one is going to die judging by the new cover of the manga.

As we all saw earlier, that Baldy A-ranker guy was possessed by some sort of black shadowy things streaming into his mouth when he was holed up recovering after the fight. Therefore, could he be a secret agent for the intelligent dungeon? If so, that implies the shadow monsters might also be able to go after people and possess them if they have a dark mindset? I don't know if the author is trying out a new metaphor or not, but if so, that would be nice. So many of these revenge stories follow the tropes too much.
