An Extra’s POV

"Understood."

Once the Royal Council made their intentions clear from the start, everything else flowed seamlessly.

Ralyks began the briefing as curtly as he could, and everyone fell silent and listened.

"I spent the last few days exploring the Dungeon in order to understand what path to take and how long the entire Raid will last."

The curious eyes of his audience were enough to do the asking for them.

"It'll take several weeks. Probably two to three months."

Taking into account the time needed for rest, journeying, and the overall clearing of the Floors—including mining—it would take approximately three months.

"Of course, that period could dwindle or increase, depending on how capable the team I'm leading is. I have no doubt they'll be formidable, though, considering the fact that they held their own against a Dragon Commander."

The Royal Council Members and Adonis gave Ralyks their smiles, but it was still obvious that they had some troubled thoughts.

"It seems there is an issue. You can mention what it is."

"N-no, it's not really an issue that has to do with your plan or anything. It's just…" Conrad retorted quickly.

His flustered expression made it obvious that he genuinely did not want to offend their benefactor.

"We need the resources in the 99th Floor as soon as possible." In Conrad's place, Vida sharply spoke up.

Unlike him, she showed no sign of nervousness.

Instead, her face only showed worry.

"We're running out of our last reserves, and the resources in that Floor are our lifesavers. Without them… things could get really bad for us."

After she said this, there was silence.

Everyone had their eyes on Ralyks, probably hoping for a solution from him.

Thankfully, he did not fail to deliver.

"That is a simple matter. I can help you directly obtain the resources from the 99th Floor."

"Really? You would do that for us?" Conrad's eyes beamed shamelessly, as if he wasn't already expecting something from the Dark Adventurer.

It was no use trying to act surprised at this point.

"Yes. Perhaps we should go to the site for a demonstration."

"Demonstra…?"
