Marrowin's expression grew even more intense as he looked at Johnn, his voice dropping to a stern, protective register.
"And let's not forget the most critical factor here, Johnn. Your partner is registered as an F rank adventurer. The baseline monsters in this sector are classified as S-rank threats. They are highly aggressive and heavily armored with mechanized carapaces. In fact, deep within these sectors, there is a very high probability we will encounter SS rank variants."
He tightened his grip on his gauntlets, looking up at the towering, rusted structures.
"To be completely honest, I have no idea why the Guild classified this mission as a standard S rank. It should be labeled much higher. They are severely underestimating the environmental hazards. When you factor in the unpredictable terrain, the localized electromagnetic interference that disrupts magic, and the sheer density of mutated hordes, a split party would be completely blind-sided."
