The Healer Banished From The Party, In Fact, Is The Strongest Chapter 69 - Volume 2 Chapter 30 The Plan From Hereon

Raust

Labyrinth runaway was a peculiar phenonon specific to the labyrinth, it wasnt an exaggeration to say that it was as feared as natural disasters.

Monsters that originally only existed inside the labyrinth overflowed outside. That was probably the number one characteristic of labyrinth runaway.

Moreover, the monsters that ca out from the labyrinth, even the goblins and hobgoblins, were in a mutated state despite it should only occur to super-high difficulty monsters and had more intelligence that let them move in a group.

Even for a small labyrinth, a labyrinth runaway could cause damage that would crush two or three surrounding cities.

That was the knowledge about labyrinth runaway that I got from the book.

And it certainly bore similarity to what currently happened in Labyrinth City.

From the hobgoblins that had extraordinary intelligence and ability to the lich that completed tactical-class magic by taking the orcs magic power.

Those were impossible no matter how you think about it, but if it was labyrinth runaway, then that explained everything.

However, despite knowing all that, I was unable to accept Masters words.

I cant believe the labyrinth of this Labyrinth City is going out of control!

The possibility of labyrinth runaway popped up in my mind when I faced the flock of monsters, but I dismissed the idea imdiately.

Because they exist in this Labyrinth City, and as far as I know, they have fulfilled their role without fail until now.

The next mont, Narsena unknowingly voiced what was in my mind to Master.

The other day, we have defeated Phoenix, a super-high difficulty monster, the other adventurers are also hunting monsters in the labyrinth! There is no way enough magic has accumulated to cause labyrinth runaway

Labyrinth runaway was said to occur when the magic power in the labyrinth exceeded a certain amount.

Magic power overflowing inside the labyrinth would cause the creation of monsters that could live outside the labyrinth, and those monsters would overflow outside.

In other words, it was necessary to prevent the accumulation of magic power in the labyrinth, and the only way to do so was by killing the monsters in the labyrinth so new monsters spawned with the excess magic power.

That was why Labyrinth City was born around the labyrinth and adventurers descent into the labyrinth to hunt monsters.

Knowing that, Narsena and I couldnt believe Masters words because we knew the adventurers had killed quite a few monsters.

That was despite knowing what was told to us about labyrinth runaway by Master was based on her experience in quelling nurous labyrinth runaway.

Master nodded, agreeing with us who couldnt hide our discomposure and opened her mouth.

Thats right, yeah. If you think about it normally, there is no way that a labyrinth could run amok in this labyrinth city. After all, this is the biggest labyrinth weve ever found. There is no way that the monsters have not been carefully defeated.

Masters words affirming our belief that a labyrinth runaway couldnt occur in this situation.

But then, why Master still said this is a labyrinth runaway, such a thought ca to my mind for a mont, but Master still hadnt finished yet.

But whats happening right now is definitely a labyrinth runaway. No, maybe there is another phenonon similar to that, but that doesnt matter now. The important thing is there is a crisis right now.

After saying that, Master stopped speaking for a mont.

It was like she hesitated to continue.

But it was only for a mont, Master opened her mouth again.

I think this is artificially caused.

Wha-!

Huh?

I couldnt hide my surprise after hearing what Master said next.

Artificially causing this situation? Soone causing labyrinth runaway?

I couldnt believe that.

I looked at Masters face, hoping she was joking, but what I saw was a serious expression on her face.

Still with the sa serious expression, Master continued.

I know soone who can do it without being suspicious. And that person has been doing sothing suspicious these days.

Who is it?

Master didnt imdiately respond to my question.

Instead, she asked a question.

Hey, Raust. Do you know about Lost Technology?

Hmm?

Not catching the aning behind the sudden question, I let out a confused voice.

However, deciding that there was no way Master asked sothing unrelated to this situation, I tried to recall the knowledge about Lost Technology I read in the book.

Lost Technology was advanced technology developed and left behind by civilizations from hundreds of years ago or more, one that we couldnt even imagine now.

After all, they were ddling on the labyrinth that was said to be the realm of the gods.

The transfer formation in this Labyrinth City, also known as Elevator, was also a lost technology.

Without it, just to enter the labyrinth, adventurers needed to go through the depths of the adow where sotis, even super-high difficulty monsters would appear, to reach the original entrance of the labyrinth.

I knew that much, but I still couldnt understand the connection to the current situation, so I returned a question to Master.

What about it?

Its possible that the guild branch chief of this Labyrinth City knew about the lost technology and used that knowledge to cause the labyrinth runaway.

What?

I couldnt keep my agitation out of my voice at the Masters words.

Narsena was dumbfounded.

After a few monts, I sorted out the information.

Master said earlier that the person who could cause labyrinth runaway was making suspicious movent.

As far as I can tell from that, Master probably thinks that the branch chief of this Labyrinth City guild caused the labyrinth runaway.

But while knowing that, I still couldnt accept what Master said.

The guild branch chief in this Labyrinth City was indeed strange, even to , a re adventurer.

Even so, I couldnt think of any reason for him to try to cause a labyrinth runaway.

Whats waiting at the end of the labyrinth runaway is only enormous damage.

I dont think there is any point in seeking such things.

In the first place, I couldnt believe that the guild branch chief had the Lost Technology.

It was called that precisely because it had been dead for hundreds of years.

I couldnt believe that he even had that kind of technology, and even if he really did have it, I didnt know if he could really cause a labyrinth runaway with lost technology.

Of course, it wasnt that I didnt believe in Master.

Looking at the serious expression on Masters face, I knew she was serious, and that was why I couldnt help but be confused.

Glancing at Narsena beside , she also looked as confused as I was.

However, Master didnt wait for us to calm our minds.

Thats why, our priority is to locate the missing branch chief and his aides. Raust, get ready imdiately. Narsena, you go solidify the defense with Ronaldo.

Huh?

Ill be looking for you in ten minutes. Hurry up.

The next mont after she said that, Master was in action.

She got up from her chair and left the room.

Ronaldo, you protect this place with the adventurers

I let out a sigh as I realized that I had missed the opportunity to hear the detailed explanation from the distant voice of Master.

Hah~

Sigh overlapped, I looked sideways at Narsena who had the sa tired expression.

At that mont, our feeling was strangely transmitted to each other, and at the sa ti we burst out laughing.

We laughed for a little while, but I couldnt stay there for long as I had to get ready right away, so I got up from my chair.

Finally, I opened my mouth to Narsena.

Dont overdo it if the next wave of monsters cos. Ronaldo-san will also be there, you should rely on him.

Ill be alright. Onii-san, you too, please be careful The branch chief might be more capable than we thought.

I know. Well, Master will be there too, so I think I will be fine.

I answered Narsena with a laugh, but my mind thought otherwise.

Certainly, Master was the most powerful person I knew.

However, that was why I felt a little uneasy deep inside.

Indeed, Master doesnt always listen to others, but this ti in particular, she looks sowhat impatient.

Maybe the situation is worse than I thought.

That thought popped into my head and stayed there for a while.
