The Fukaros Familia, starting from DanMachi.

A lithe figure flashed past, and Tifa precisely grabbed the swaying cherry blossom, using the momentum to retreat rapidly. At the same time, she shouted to Yamato, who was still stunned on the other side, "Go!"

Yamato was stunned for a moment. She never expected that other adventurers would actually come to her rescue in such a desperate situation.

Without a second thought, she immediately turned and retreated, rushing towards her several companions who were already seriously injured and lying on the ground, their fates unknown.

Even at this point, she did not forget any of her family members.

In the distance, Rivera and her group, who had just arrived, stopped in their tracks.

Liu, hidden in the shadows on the other side, slowly lowered the wooden sword that she had already pulled out halfway.

"That magic..."

Riveria frowned.

She felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity with the sound magic that had just repelled the Fire Axe Hilichurl thugs.

However, because its power was not as terrifying as the person she remembered, and because the distance was too far, she did not hear Fen Yu's short chant, which made her hesitant to confirm her guess for a moment.

"That damn brat!"

When Bert realized that it was Fenyu's team that had gone to rescue them, he spat in displeasure.

He could tell at a glance that the Fire Axe Hilichurl thug was not a Level 1 monster that would appear in the upper levels, but a genuine Level 2 enhanced species, or even close to Level 3.

Monsters of this level are nothing to the Loki Familia, but to those newbies who have only recently arrived in Orario and are still only level 1, it is no different from an irresistible disaster.

Despite his outward curses, this stubborn but soft-hearted werewolf was already subconsciously preparing to step forward.

"Wait a minute, Bert."

However, Riveria reached out and stopped him.

"Going there now wouldn't be about rescuing people, it would be about stealing monsters."

"What a joke, Riveria."

Bert looked on incredulously, turning to glare at the elven princess who had blocked his way. "Are you blind? Can't you tell what kind of monster that is?"

Not only Bert, but also Tiona, Lefia and others looked puzzled.

Only Ais, her golden eyes fixed intently on the white-haired boy who slowly drew his longsword and walked step by step toward the Fire Axe Hilichurl thug, a thoughtful look in her eyes.

"I can't be wrong about that look in your eyes."

Riveria frowned slightly, but her tone was firm. "That boy sees that monster as 'prey.' Meddling in his business at this time will only annoy him."

Upon hearing this, Bert suddenly realized that the white-haired boy's face showed no sign of solemnity or fear, but rather a hint of...excitement.

"Arrogant bastard."

Bert grumbled and kicked a small stone at his feet, but ultimately didn't take another step forward.

Riveria was right; Fenyu didn't look like she needed help at all.

If they rush forward rashly, it would be an unreasonable act of stealing monsters.

On the other side, Ryu also had a furrowed brow.

Although her eyesight wasn't as sharp as that of a first-class adventurer from the Loki Familia, she could still clearly sense the monster's power, which far surpassed the level that should exist at the higher levels.

Despite the fog, the adventurer's amazing eyesight allowed her to recognize Burning Feather.

She couldn't understand where Fen Yu got his confidence to challenge a monster far beyond his own level.

But she still gripped the knife handle tightly, ready to step in and save the person at any moment.

This was not only for the "justice" she believed she had long since lost, but also for the innocent and lovely goddess of justice, Fucarus, who made her feel unconsciously close to her.

If Fenyu and the others die here, that goddess will be very sad, just like... the former goddess Astrea.

"Are you alright?"

Robin and Violet also arrived and helped Yamato gather her companions together.

With trembling hands, Ming poured all the spiritual medicines he had onto his companions' wounds, but the meager medicinal power was like a drop in the ocean for such fatal injuries that shattered bones and damaged internal organs.

Unless it's a panacea worth more than 500,000 fali, there's no way to save their lives.

However, how could the Takemikazuchi clan, struggling to make ends meet, possibly afford such an exorbitantly priced potion?

Sakura, Chigusa, and Mikoto all wore expressions of deep sorrow and despair.

With injuries like that, it's impossible for him to survive until he gets back to the ground.

Add to that the menacing Fire Axe Hilichurl thug, and their spirits had already plummeted.

"It's okay, I'll save them."

Just as they were sinking into despair, Feng Jin's gentle yet firm voice rang out.

She offered a word of comfort, and then began to sing softly.

"Listen, to the whispers of dawn and dusk—in the cracks of memory, O gentle spirit, once more send down the healing rain for me, for us, and hold up that clear sky!"

As the incantation, as warm as the morning sun, appeared in the magic circle, a small pink Pegasus affectionately nuzzling against Feng Jin's cheek.

As Ika appeared, a gentle, green breeze, full of life, swept by and enveloped all members of the Takemikazuchi Familia, including Sakura.

To their astonishment, the deep, bone-revealing wounds, broken bones, and even the damage to internal organs were rapidly healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"It's... healing magic."

Riveria, standing in the distance, once again showed a look of surprise.

Even in the entire Orario, there are only a handful of mages who possess high-level healing magic, and they are treasured like precious gems in any familia.

Meanwhile, in the center of the battlefield, Fenyu had officially engaged in combat with the Fire Axe Hilichurl mob.

In their very first encounter, Fenyu was able to determine his opponent's level.

It surpasses the Sea Demon, but hasn't reached level 3 yet. According to the adventurer's stats, its strength and durability are at least S-rank.

The difference in ability was enormous; when Burning Feather's sword struck the opponent, it couldn't even leave a white mark.

If it weren't for his balanced growth across all attributes, coupled with the exceptional combat intuition honed by Alphia, he wouldn't even have been qualified to contend with his opponent.

Having narrowly dodged another powerful sweeping axe, Robin's magical support arrived instantly, a sonic wave striking the Hilichurl's knee precisely, halting its pursuit.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Fenyu immediately created distance.

"I'm sorry, I've dragged you into this." Yamato Mikoto's eyes flashed with determination when he saw this scene.

Holding her katana, she had already made the decision to sacrifice herself. "I'll hold it back. You take my companions and run."
