An Extra’s POV

Right now, there were two potential causes as to the situation with Richard's corpse.

One was that the Boss Monster caused it.

'If the Boss is a Necromancer, then it only makes sense that they could do something like this.'

Monsters weren't usually very intelligent, but there were exceptions. Plus, since the entire setup of the Dungeon was so special and resembled the kind that housed intelligent life, the possibility couldn't be discounted.

But, Rey couldn't see a Boss Monster around, which meant this was probably not the Boss Room. If the Boss really was behind this, it wouldn't just leave the corpse lying around.

'That leaves me with the second option.' Rey stood to his feet as his eyes narrowed as a gleam of anger flashed inside.

'Adrien Chase!'

Adrien was a necromancer, and since his involvement in this entire Grand Calamity Class Dungeon Conquest was pretty much a certainty, he was a more prime suspect.

Once again, Rey couldn't think of any way in which Adrien could benefit humanity from this entire ordeal. From his guess, this was probably a breeding ground for Adrien to fully test out and advance his Necromancy Skill.

'He's not beyond using others to achieve his goals anyway…' Rey sighed, covering his eyes for a moment so that he could think.

After a few seconds, he walked forward, leaving the white barrier that protected everyone else.

Many people gasped, but their worried faces soon dissolved once they found him completely fine despite standing amidst the immense pressure of Miasma.

"I'm tired of this farce…" He whispered, suddenly releasing a burst of Mana in a split-second.

Almost at once, the corruption within the entire room vanished from sight.

He did this so quickly that no one in the audience could possibly suspect that he was responsible. Plus, since they were all inside the barrier of [Absolute Perfect Defense], they probably couldn't even tell the difference anyway.

"When will you reveal yourself this time?"

Rey asked no one in particular this question. He just looked at the sole taint in the room, the corpse of the Guildmaster, and knelt before it once again.
