The Strongest Dull Prince’s Secret Battle for the Throne

Chapter 304: Correction, Five

As expected of you, Jack. You completely wiped out those birds.

A number advantage doesnt work on a user of magic bow after all. That aside, what were you guys doing? That kind of monster, you could just blow it away with a single blow right?

Jack suspiciously stares at us.

In response, I immediately answered.

I am busy looking for the core of that slime.

Slime? Did your mask block your eye holes or something? Thats clearly a bird right?

Since you are being serious, I will let that slide.

You wanna go punk?

Hearing my reply, Jack angrily glares at me.

I almost respond to that by letting out killing intent.

Calm down. Im the person with common sense here.

thats an evolution slime. Its a super rare monster that evolves by assimilating other monsters.

Why is such an annoying monster here? In the first place, why are you looking for a slime core in a situation like this? Are you an idiot?

I sigh at the expected question.

This guy also didnt listen to a word from Clyde huh. No, he didnt even want to take part in this in the first place. I guess thats a natural question.

We were told by Clyde to not level the area here right. We gave up on annihilating the slime and switched to searching for its core instead. I am searching for the core while those three are fighting the clones while holding back.

Holding back? Those guys? Having a dragon try knitting would be easier you know?

I think so too but we dont have enough manpower. If you joined us from the beginning then there wouldnt be a problem in the first place though?

Are they mocking us or something?

It couldnt be helped. We are bad at holding back after all.

Ive been saying this from the start right. We shouldnt consider not destroying the area here in the first place.

Each of them has their own reaction.

Linares has a complicated expression on his face, Egor already gave up arguing, and Noname claimed that our method was wrong from the start.

These guys are useless in a situation like this probably because they are all power type.

It would somehow work out if the opponent is a single strong individual but this time it is trying to overwhelm us with numbers.

A great number of opponents and these guys who always cause damage to the surrounding have poor compatibility.

Well, originally such incompatibility wont have any effect in the first place though.

With 4 SS-rank adventurers gathered together, who would think that all of you would do something so roundabout like this. I thought that there wouldnt be a turn for me in the first palace.

Just give up. We can use nothing more than half of our power.

Then isnt it okay if the reward is only divided between me and Silver? Once he finds the core, I will shoot it down.

Thats not the deal. I am supposed to be the one giving it the finishing blow.

I want to work out a little bit more too

Me three

Haaa.

No matter what is happening, it seems like they are still playing huh.

It is true that it will take us some time to take it down while holding back but each of them can blow that monster away with a single attack if they feel like it.

Still, this is a monster that isnt worth using their real power against so they cant take the situation seriously.

So? Silver. Wheres the core at? Dont tell me you still couldnt find it alright?

Dont take me for a fool. Of course, I already found it.

I create a small barrier just below the center of the slime.

That will serve as a mark. The slimes core is there.

Alright, I will take it from here.

Why would I leave it to a useless guy like you. What would you do if you fail?

Who are you calling useless huh?

Its you. You useless mask.

Jack. I dont mind fighting you before that monster you know?

Ha! You want to fight me even though you cant even adjust your strength? Leave the sleep talking when you are actually asleep.

I have no need to hold back against you right.

What you said just now showed a clear difference between us. As an adventurer, you are inferior to Silver. You want to fight me in the country that you are based in? This country will be destroyed you know?

Thats how I want it. I have no attachment to this country after all.

Jack and Nonames killing intent swell up.

Egor and Linares seem to have given up on stopping them.

Seriously, its so troublesome that their personalities clash like this.

What a pointless quarrel. If you are an adventurer then show your ability through the result.

The result?

I am going to intercept its clones. The one who destroys the slimes core first win. Of course, without leveling the terrain here.

We cant allow a battle between two SS-rank adventurers here.

This is not only about subjugating the monster after all.

What is in it for me if I win?

I will give you my share of the reward.

Ha! Well, thats not so bad.

I have nothing to gain here. I am not troubled with money, and it was me who was supposed to give the finishing blow in the first place.

What? You chickened out? Then I will just shoot that thing down now. Just stay out of my way.

Fine. I will buy that cheap provocation of yours.

Jack made a cheap provocation at Noname and she bought it all out

This is the pinnacle of adventurers. While thinking that this doesnt seem like a conversation between SS-rank adventurers at all, I didnt say anything as this is the best solution.

Linares, Elder Egor. are you two fine with this?

Its alright with me. Then, I will bet on Nonames side using my share of the reward okay.

Then I will bet on Jack. You dont mind us helping them out right? Silver.

Do whatever you want

Seriously.

In this case, the Adventurer Guild was only requested to dispatch an SS-rank adventurer. It was only on a whim that five of us came here.

The standard fee of 3 rainbow coins will probably not be applied here. Perhaps we will get one or two rainbow coins each. Still, it is truly surreal to see them betting such an amount of money so easily.

With this amount of rainbow coins flowing, an economy of a small nation would lose its stability.

Sorry, Lord-dono. Theres some correction. There will be five SS-rank adventurers participating in this quest. And I am very sorry but we will treat this subjugation as a competition.

W, Well.if you can subjugate that monster then

In an emergency case, I will protect the area around here using a barrier. I dont know what these guys will do once they get heated up after all.

While saying that to Vengerov, I look at Egor and Linares with a frown under my mask.

If they all get excited here then it will be difficult to protect the terrain here.

the match will be decided at the destruction of the core. Noname will be supported by Linares. Elder Egor will support Jack. I will be on the defensive. If you destroy the landscape then you will lose by default. Understood? This applies to everyone, alright?

Leave it to me.

I got it.

Hurry up and start already. It will be an instant kill anyway.

Im ready.

This is super worrying.

What should I do.

If I let them start like this I might end up having to use some kind of ridiculous barrier here.

Suddenly, I came up with an idea.

Thats right. Lets think about this in reverse.

In the unlikely event that the terrain is destroyed, the person responsible will have to compensate for it on their own. Okay?

What!? I never agreed to that!?

Fine by me.

By the way, if you dont show me that you really want to prevent that then you will lose okay? Dont think that you will just pay for it once youve destroyed everything alright?

..of course.

She really thought about it.

What a woman.

That was dangerous.

I cant let down my guard at all.

Still, after I already said that much they probably wont do that deliberately.

I have already done everything I can.

The rest is up to the gods.

Then, get ready. Start!

At the same time as I said that, Jack fired an arrow at the speed of god.
