After the battle ended, the Red Dragon Adventurer Group simply set up camp on the spot.
Other adventurer groups arriving shortly after, discussed with Gauss and others, also camped at the edge of the area.
There was no other choice; with strength reigning supreme, at least at this moment, Gauss's word was essentially the rule in this part of the Maze. The others could only follow him to get by, hence they had to consider his opinion.
If on the fourth level of the Maze, Gauss had showcased his might through the Scouts' verbal reports and the recorded images they'd brought back, which was relatively superficial, the scene of him slaying the Lord creature on the fifth level could be personally witnessed by all the members of the adventurer groups present.
After experiencing it firsthand, they could more deeply feel the overwhelming power on Gauss's body, far beyond that of the usual adventurer.
