Synopsis

The chapter opens with the Ikaros clan's 'Abyss Returner' warning the Cactus Clan leader Roxanne of an imminent B-grade dungeon explosion, suggesting the Cactus clan might fail to clear it in time. He proposes to observe the situation, offering to intervene only if necessary, revealing that people now enjoy watching monster hunts. The prediction proves true as a dungeon appears, and Roxanne's leadership is questioned as a barrier prevents anyone from escaping, highlighting the need for greater force and hinting at future battles. The 'Abyss Returner' again offers to assist.
