The Fukaros Familia, starting from DanMachi.

"I want to go too." Ais stood there expressionlessly, but her golden eyes shone with determination.

"I...I want to go with Miss Ais too." Following behind Ais, Lefia mustered her courage and whispered her opinion.

"Sigh..." Riveria, who came in last, covered her face with her hands in exasperation, showing a headache.

Finn looked at the group of overly energetic members in front of him and couldn't help but laugh.

"You've come at the perfect time."

He picked up the power of attorney and glanced at it.

"In that case, you can go. The mission is to investigate the new monsters that have appeared on the first five floors of the dungeon and collect detailed information about them."

He had already assessed the task and concluded that it posed no danger whatsoever to Level 1 adventurers like Ais, who were at Lv.5 or higher.

"Yay! Long live the commander!"

Tiona cheered excitedly, feeling like she could go out and have some fun again.

"I'll come too."

A cold and helpless voice rang out.

Rivera pressed her aching temples; she was really worried about letting Ais and her group of problem children team up for an operation.

"Oh? That's wonderful!"

Upon hearing this, Loki immediately grinned and spoke in her usual teasing tone.

"With the 'madam' around, we feel much more at ease."

Riveria rolled her eyes gracefully, giving her own god a look that said, "I can't be bothered with you."

Soon, this temporary investigation team, composed of Orario's top combatants, was assembled.

Riveria, Ais, Tiona, Tione, Lefia, and an impatient Bert, the group of six left the Twilight Mansion and headed straight for the Tower of Babel.

Meanwhile, on the second level of the dark dungeon.

"Clang!"

The dull thud of metal striking wood echoed through the narrow rock passage.

Fenyu dodged a powerful swing by sidestepping, but the longsword in his hand, which should have been of fine quality, let out a mournful cry after blocking the rough wooden club in the Hilichurl's hand.

At this moment, he was surrounded by five Hilichurls.

Hilichurls are short, stocky creatures that stand 1.2-1.5 meters tall, with short, thick limbs, grayish-black skin, faces covered by simple totem masks, sparse brown hair on their heads, and long, thin, black ears. They are not part of the dungeons and are created because of the Fire Feather skill.

Two Hilichurls wielding wooden clubs led the charge, roaring and launching a relentless assault. A more cunning Hilichurl, holding a crude wooden sword, darted about, constantly searching for blind spots in their defenses. Meanwhile, on a rocky protrusion behind them, two archers were constantly nocking arrows, ready to unleash deadly stray shots.

"Huff..." Fen Yu's breathing was a little rapid, and fine beads of sweat had already seeped out of his forehead.

Using the uneven rock walls around him, he moved nimbly and agilely in the narrow space.

With a light tap of his toes on the wall, his body defied gravity and slid sideways, narrowly dodging an arrow shot from behind.

The longsword in his hand sliced ​​through the air, leaving behind streaks of silver afterimages, precisely parrying and deflecting oncoming attacks.

But each collision sent a tingling sensation through his hand, and the sword's wear and tear worsened.

These monsters are far stronger and more resilient than the goblins on the first level.

Just as he was entangled by three melee Hilichurls and unable to break free, an archer behind him seized the opportunity again and drew his bowstring taut.

"Play it!"

Just as the arrow left the bowstring, a clear and brief chant rang out.

The robin stood quietly at the edge of the battlefield, its lake-green eyes calmly analyzing the entire situation.

She did not act rashly, but waited for the best opportunity.

Now, the time has come.

An invisible, sharp sonic wave burst forth from the tip of her staff, striking the arrow precisely in mid-air.

With a piercing buzz, the wooden arrow was shattered in mid-air.

Then a piercing sonic wave shot straight at the Archer Hilichurl.

The archer Hilichurl let out a painful groan, covered his ears, and temporarily lost his ability to attack.

The skill effect of "Intoxication Prelude" quietly activated, and a faint warm current returned to the robin's spiritual world, replenishing some of the magic power consumed in the spell just now.

This allows her to provide support for a longer period of time at a lower cost.

Fen Yu seized this critical moment.

He stopped defending, suddenly exerted force with his feet, leaned forward, and his longsword transformed into a swift streak of light, sweeping aside a Hilichurl's wooden club from bottom to top. The tip of the sword then flicked upwards, precisely piercing the opponent's unsuspecting throat.

Having landed a successful blow, he didn't stop. With a flick of his wrist, the blood-stained blade swept out, forcing back two other melee Hilichurls. At the same time, using the momentum of the spin, he charged towards another archer who had just recovered from the sonic attack.

The archer panicked and tried to retreat, but Fenyu was faster.

A flash of cold light, and its head shot skyward.

In the blink of an eye, two out of five were gone.

The remaining three Hilichurls roared angrily, and their attack became even more frenzied.

Fen Yu took a deep breath and went to meet him.

After another fierce battle, at the cost of a bruised and burning bruise on his left arm from being grazed by a wooden stick, he finally managed to kill the last Hilichurl with his sword.

As the last monster turned to black ash and vanished, Fenyu leaned on his sword, his chest heaving violently.

The robin stepped forward and skillfully picked up the few magic stones and a rough totem mask scattered on the ground, putting them into its backpack.

Looking at Fen Yu's slightly tired expression and the longsword in his hand that was full of nicks and even bent, she said softly, "We should go back."

Fen Yu nodded and gave a wry smile.

It's definitely time to go back.

With his Lv.1 strength, he could easily kill his way to the fifth floor if he were facing ordinary dungeon monsters.

However, due to his passive skill, the strength of the monsters he spawns completely exceeds the standard of the current level.

From the fire and ice slimes on the first floor, to the lightning and wind slimes on the second floor, and now to these Hilichurls who know basic teamwork... their combat power is more than one level stronger than goblins and dungeon lizards.

This also led to a sharp increase in his physical exertion.

The most fatal factor is the wear and tear on weapons.

After only half a day of fighting, this fine weapon made by the Hephaestus Familia was already on the verge of being destroyed.

If the fighting continues, the alliance may break apart during the battle.

Robin took out half of the magic stones she had collected that day from her backpack and handed them to Burning Feather.

Fen Yu took them, and with a thought, he put all the magic stones into the "Entangled Fate" system in his mind.
