Jack-of-All-Trades, Party of None (勇者パーティを追い出された器用貧乏)

Good work these past three days!

We're heading home.

Okay!

I guess my job's done.

Mister!

I'm glad nothing happened...

The Black Dragon?!

Impossible!

JACK-OF-ALL-TRADES, PARTY OF NONE

JACK-OF-ALL-TRADES, PARTY OF NONE

THE JACK-OF-ALL-TRADES OVERCOMES HIS LIMITS

Everyone, run!

This pressure...

It's impossible to believe, but that has to be the real thing.

Why?

There's no way it should be on this floor!

A tyrant who slaughters helpless adventurers...

That's the Black Dragon.

No doubt about it.

I need to take command, now!

Think! How can we survive?

The boss on this floor is already dead.

If we can get past it and to the Teleportation Crystal,

then we can escape!

If we all hurry...

I'm the only one who's even able to move?

Monsters will usually head towards crowds of people.

The Black Dragon will probably do the same.

If I run, I'll survive and everyone else will die.

If I go alone, I can...

No!

I have to fight the Black Dragon!

My job is to make sure that all the new adventurers make it back alive!

I won't betray them!

I'll protect them, no matter the cost!

I should give up on any ideas of buying time for them to escape.

There's only one way for everyone to survive.

Defeat the Black Dragon!

Chaperons!

Do whatever the hell it takes to keep the rookies safe!

Defensive posture!

Cathy! Magic Ward!

R-Right!

It's huge!

We're doomed!

Impact!

W-We're alive?

We're saved...

What the hell was that?

It felt like the Magic Ward got stronger for an instant...

Was it Orhun?

Orhun!

It knew what he was doing!

No, that was deliberate!

He's aiming for the one instant when its eyes are closed!

Impact!

Incredible!

That has to have taken it down!

I should've known that wouldn't be enough.

It's unharmed?

No!

Orhun, you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Just keep protecting the rookies.

I'll deal with the Black Dragon.

I have a plan. No need to worry.

But...

I'm sure all you rookies may be scared, but please stay put.

I'll protect you.

Orhun!

Orhun!

Where are you aiming? I'm over here!

He took aggro from the Black Dragon?

To draw it away from us?

Is it really okay to let Orhun handle this himself?

That thing killed Albert!

If that happened again...

could I stand it?

Reflective Wall!

How do you like the taste of your own fireballs?

He reflected its attack?

What kind of spell is that?

I've never seen or heard of anything like it!

Reflective Wall...

One of the original spells I came up with,

which reflects anything that touches it back on the wielder.

It's still unharmed, huh?

Looks like I'm going to take some risks.

Status Up!

A boost to all his stats...

A high-level spell that does parallel, simultaneous construction

of all six types of support magic to increase all stats.

But Orhun's support magic can only double stats...

That's not nearly enough!

Should I help?

Status Up. Double.

What?

Status Up. Triple.

Quadruple.

Lastly... Quintuple!

Impossible... You can't use the same buff multiple times!

If you recast it, it'll just reset the time until it wears off...

And he cast it five times, consecutively?

Orhun!

He moved that far in such a short time?

He's so fast!

Wh-Whew...

That's not just simple support magic.

Nobody's ever seen a spell like that.

Is that another of his original spells?

How many secret powers are you hiding?

I can't even tell anymore...

Five consecutive casts have increased my status 32 times.

But I can't keep it up for long.

Because I'm basically casting 30 different spells at once.

The burden on the caster is far too great.

I need to hurry and end this now!

No!

Good idea.

But...

He made a stepping stone in midair?

Is that magic, too?

It's not magic. It's a special ability.

Rarely, humans will have powers called "special abilities".

They're another type of power, different from magic or sorcery,

that gives us abilities we don't normally have.

My ability is Magical Convergence.

I can gather magic into a single point and materialize it.

I can also cause that magic to propel me through the air.

It's an ability with a great many uses.

Oliver has the same ability, and all he uses it for is attacks, though.

Sharpness Up!

Durable Up!

Here we go, Black Dragon!

Impact!

He did it!

He got through those thick scales!

You're amazing, Orhun!

Orhun!

Of course he's not okay!

Normally, it's impossible to chain support magic.

And he's also adding effects to his weapon.

And he keeps using that original magic of his called "Impact."

Does he really intend to defeat the Black Dragon on his own?

But what can I do?

The strongest members of the Night Sky Silver Rabbits

couldn't beat that thing together.
