An Extra’s POV

The stale air in the 99th Floor slowly moved as the warring parties both gazed upon the stranger that had interrupted their battle.

… Or rather, the execution.

The man in question was coated in darkness and crimson.

He looked strong, and his imposing build made it clear that he was no ordinary man.

As both the humans and Dragon saw him, they only had one thought.

"Who is he?!"

As if listening to their internal questions, the man of darkness stepped forward and gave a slight sigh.

"My name is Ralyks. I am an Adventurer, and I was tasked with rescuing you people."

The one called Ralyks was currently looking in the direction of Adonis and his comrades.

The weight of the space above them had lessened, but it was heavy nonetheless.

They couldn't let up for even a moment, but their eyes beamed the moment they heard of a rescue.

However, they soon dimmed once they remembered the true nature of their adversary.

Not even an Adventurer stood a chance.

"You can't—!"

"Before you say anything, though…" Ralyks interrupted Adonis and stretched his hand towards the space above them,

"… Let's get rid of that, shall we?"

In a single pulse of energy, Ralyks easily caused the crushing space above them to relax.

The seven gasped in relief and awe as the unbearable burden on their bodies were removed so easily.

They turned to thank him, but he was no longer in his previous position.

"I'm here."

Their gazes landed right in front of them, and there he stood,

The Adventurer Ralyks!

Whether it was teleportation or not, he had gotten right next to them without anyone even realizing it.

His speed and strength were something else.

"S-Sir Ralyks… about what you said…"

"We'll talk later." His words interrupted Adonis, and the speaker didn't even bother looking back.

His gaze was on the silent Dragon Commander.

"Right now the enemy is in sight."
