Ep. 4: Seiichi and Saria face the Black Dragon God's dungeon test with Arotoria

4

Arotoria assigns Seiichi and Saria a task to collect ten medicinal herbs in the nearby forest. While Saria succeeds, Seiichi fails to find the herbs, bringing back rare Mana Mushrooms instead. Arotoria provides him with some herbs and encourages better effort next time. Later, the group meets Claud to register for the guild's final test, with Claud requesting they remain friends with Arotoria afterward. During the field test, Arotoria explains they must defeat ten slimes to pass. Seiichi attempts to attack a slime, but it vanishes, revealing teleportation spells throughout the area. A teleportation circle suddenly transports everyone to an unknown location. Arotoria gives them guide stones to locate separated party members and detect danger. When Arotoria triggers a trap, a wall separates her from the others. She fights various creatures and enters the Black Dragon God's threatening room. The dragon easily defeats her initial attack, and her Calamity Berserk skill proves insufficient. Just as the dragon god is about to kill her, Seiichi and Saria arrive to assist.
