The Fukaros Familia, starting from DanMachi.

After so long, adventurers have figured out some patterns and know that as long as a specific "trigger" appears, the dungeon will start to spawn a large number of new monsters.

Although most people didn't know what this opportunity was, that didn't stop them from camping out in the dungeon like vultures waiting for carrion.

When Rivera and the others entered and saw this scene, their suspicions became even more certain.

Among the adventurers who entered the dungeon around the same time as them, there must be one who was the instigator with the rare skill.

Unfortunately, there are just too many people entering the dungeon, a real mixed bag, and it's impossible to check them one by one, making it very troublesome to pinpoint a target.

However, they don't necessarily have to find that person.

After all, the changes caused by this person are a good thing for the whole of Orario, so there's no need to hold onto them.

As for Loki's "find someone" order, which was purely for fun, they tacitly chose to ignore it.

It would be great if we could find it, but we won't force it if we can't.

The Fukaros Familia fought their way from the first floor to the twelfth floor with unstoppable momentum.

Fen Yu was already very familiar with the various monsters that appeared, which caused a decrease in the experience boost provided by his [Pioneer] skill.

However, thanks to the robin's skill [Tone Harmony], his overall experience gain speed did not decrease too much.

Compared to the almost overpowered skills of the Burning Feather, which focus on improving itself, the Robin's abilities are more like the core of the entire clan's growth.

Whether it's a level-up spell that can instantly turn the tide of battle or a team experience-boosting buff, both are indispensable.

Without Robin, given Burning Feather's growth rate, Tifa and Violet will soon be left far behind and unable to conquer dungeons with him anymore.

But with the robin around, their growth rate won't lag too much, and the whole team can continue to grow stronger as a whole.

In the twelfth level of the Misty Labyrinth, besides the original monsters of the dungeon, they spent most of their time fighting Lv.1 Hilichurl Shamans and Rock Shield Hilichurls.

Occasionally, one might encounter the Lv.2 monster known as the "Grand Prize" by adventurers—the Sea Demon.

If it weren't for the strong monstrous aura emanating from this humanoid monster dressed in tattered samurai armor, it would be easy to mistake it for a down-on-his-luck adventurer.

Fortunately, adventurers naturally maintain vigilance and distance from each other, which prevented a tragic first-meeting death caused by their appearance.

The four of them already have excellent teamwork.

Fenyu, wielding a longsword, spearheaded the attack, while Tifa, agile and nimble, provided support from the flanks.

Robin and violet stay firmly in the rear, the former occasionally releasing highly penetrating sound waves, while the latter provides support with precise wind blades, and is always ready to provide healing and support to their companions in front.

While it's not a textbook example of a perfect team composition, it's already quite good.

After defeating numerous monsters along the way, including several Lv.2 Sea Demons, Lady Luck smiled upon them once again.

One of the sea monsters vanished into black smoke, leaving behind a feather ornament that shimmered with a faint light.

【Adventurer Tail Feather】.

As soon as Fen Yu put it on, he immediately felt a surge of power flowing into his body, and he could feel that his strength had been enhanced.

At the same time, when this second artifact resonated with the Adventurer's Flower on his body, an even more surging power was activated.

The two-piece set not only boosted his survivability and durability, but also significantly accelerated his recovery speed after being injured.

Such an increase in ability values ​​might not have much effect on advanced adventurers, but for adventurers who are still at Lv.1, it is almost equivalent to raising certain ability values ​​by a whole level.

Just as the surprise brought by the relic had not yet completely subsided, Fen Yu's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

An indescribable malice surged forth.

The malice was so clear, so... impatient, that even the holy marks on his back, representing divine grace, began to heat up slightly.

This is a premonition that the skill [The Abyss Being Stared At] will be activated to its fullest potential.

"Robin, Tifa, Boobs, watch out."

Fen Yu's eyes narrowed instantly, his relaxed expression vanished, replaced by an unprecedented solemnity. "The 'gift' the dungeon has prepared for me is coming."

Upon hearing Burning Feather's warning, Robin, Tifa, and Violet immediately became alert and gripped their weapons tightly.

They all knew that because of Fenyu's special skill, he seemed to be able to sense the gaze of the dungeon.

Every time the underground city's attention is focused on Fen Yu, it means something bad is about to happen.

Just then, a muffled bang pierced through the thick fog, hundreds of meters away from them.

Without warning, a solid rock wall burst open, and amidst the flying debris, a massive, suffocating figure broke free from the rock's constraints and slowly emerged.

Because the fog was so thick, Fenyu was unable to see the monster's birth immediately.

Not far from that rocky cliff, another group of adventurers had just finished a battle.

They are members of the Takemikazuchi Kinkaku (family of descendants of the Takemikazuchi).

"Phew...it's finally over."

Yamato-no-Mikoto let out a soft sigh and sheathed his katana.

Beneath their feet, a thick-skinned, green-headed orc turned into black smoke, leaving behind only a magic stone that shimmered faintly.

"Chigusa, quickly retrieve the magic stones."

"Yes, my lord!"

As a supporter, Hitachi Chigusa quickly ran over, crouched down, and prepared to pick up the spoils.

She was a somewhat introverted and delicate girl, with black hair covering half of her face, making her seem out of place in the adventurous profession full of blood and fire.

Just as her fingertips were about to touch the magic stone, a huge shadow silently enveloped her.

A sense of danger, stemming from her biological instincts, pierced her entire body like countless steel needles in an instant.

Chigusa's body stiffened abruptly, and beads of cold sweat appeared on her forehead.

Time seemed to slow down countless times at this moment.

She could feel the scorching, sulfurous breath behind her, and hear the heavy, bellows-like panting.

She trembled, and with all her might, slowly turned her head to look.

What appeared before her eyes was a terrifying body that could terrify any lower-level adventurer.

It was a gigantic humanoid monster over three meters tall, with explosive muscles bulging on its bronze skin, exuding a primal and savage power.

Its eyes were pure crimson, burning with violence and madness, with dark, ominous lines spreading around them.

Two thick, long fangs protruded fiercely from his lower jaw, and hot breath occasionally escaped from his mouth.

Its body was covered in simple but heavy bone armor, and it gripped a huge battle axe taller than a man, with an inextinguishable magical flame burning on the blade.

Fire Axe Hilichurl thugs!
