The Fukaros Familia, starting from DanMachi.

The five stood on the edge of the topmost level of the enormous circular altar, with wide stone steps beneath their feet, like guiding threads lowered by the gods, silently inviting them toward the silent center.

The entire space was filled with a dry and ancient atmosphere, which was completely different from the damp and decaying smell of the underground city.

"Are we... still in the dungeon?" Feng Jin asked, holding little Ika and looking around, her voice filled with curiosity.

"This place... is magnificent," Lefia murmured to herself. As an elf, she had an innate awe of such grand architecture that blended seamlessly with nature and history.

Fen Yu did not answer. His gaze passed through the two wider circular platforms, over the lonely, broken stone pillars, and finally landed on the top of his head.

"Let's go, be careful." Fen Yu withdrew his gaze and took the lead in stepping onto the downward stairs. "The monster should be down there."

As soon as he finished speaking, the robin followed closely behind, with Tifa and Violet flanking them on either side, protecting the newly joined Lefia in the middle, forming a standard exploration formation.

The steps are long but not steep, as if designed to facilitate ancient pilgrims as they made their way to the center of the altar.

As they ventured deeper, the surrounding light began to subtly change.

The light streaming through the skylight gradually brightened from its initial pale blue hue.

As they stepped onto the first, expansive platform, a group of colorful creatures noticed them.

There were a dozen or so round, jelly-like slimes, belonging to the three attributes of ice, lightning, and water, bouncing aimlessly.

Behind them, more than twenty Hilichurls wielding crude sticks turned around, their eyes beneath wooden masks revealing primal hostility.

"So many..." Tifa murmured, assuming a fighting stance.

"But they are scattered."

The robin calmly analyzed, "They didn't swarm at us immediately, so we can take them down one by one."

"But we have to be quick." Fen Yu's eyes sharpened. "These aren't stationary targets. Once the battle starts, the commotion could alert other monsters deeper into the platform. We must take care of this group before they can encircle us."

"Understood!" everyone responded in unison.

"Use this wheel of flames to rule."

Burning Feather chanted softly, and a surge of magical power instantly erupted from his body.

The next moment, blazing flames, like a magnificent feathered robe, suddenly burst into flames around him.

The air distorted due to the high temperature, and he seemed to transform into a miniature sun, even the ordinary longsword in his hand began to glow with an ominous red light.

Almost at the same time, the robin closed its eyes.

【Harmonious Family】.

An invisible mental network was instantly woven together, tightly connecting Fenyu, Tifa, and Fengjin.

In an instant, the three people's thoughts seemed to merge into one. Their vision, hearing, sense of direction, and even their next battle intentions became crystal clear and shared.

This is a skill that consumes a lot of energy, so Robin only activates it at the moment the battle begins and immediately deactivates it at the end of the battle to conserve precious mental energy.

However, Lefia, who was in the center of the team, sensed something was amiss.

She could clearly feel the fighting spirit rising from the four members of Fenyu, and also felt a sense of being excluded.

This is to be expected, as the Robin's skill, known as the "Harmonious Family," has strict limitations.

Rafia is just a temporary teammate she has just met. Subconsciously, she is not recognized as "family" by the robin and cannot enter the Harmony Network.

Before she could think it through, the battle had already broken out.

"Qiu, Qiuqiu!"

The first few Hilichurls let out strange roars and charged forward, brandishing their wooden clubs.

Fen Yu's figure moved.

He didn't even exchange any words with his companions, yet his body reacted perfectly.

He took a step forward, and his longsword, wreathed in flames, drew a precise arc, instantly severing the necks of two Hilichurls.

At the very moment he attacked, Tifa slid out from his side, lowered her body, and with a swift sweeping kick, tripped the other three Hilichurls who rushed up.

Without pausing, she unleashed a flurry of punches on the fallen enemy, accompanied by the whistling sound of her fists, the crisp cracking of bones echoing throughout the room.

Behind her, Violet waved her staff lightly, and several condensed wind blades whistled out, not flying towards the Hilichurls, but accurately shooting at several slimes that were preparing to spew elemental orbs.

The wind blades sliced ​​through their soft, gelatinous bodies, striking their core and causing them to explode with a roar just before they could unleash their attack.

All of this happened within a few seconds.

Lefia was completely stunned.

This level of coordination makes it seem as if they understand each other's thoughts without needing words or even eye contact.

Every time Fenyu charged forward, Tifa would perfectly cover and block him from the other side, and every time Feng Jin provided support, she accurately predicted the enemy's movements and the gaps in her comrades' attacks.

The four of them seemed to be controlled by an invisible thread, forming a perfectly coordinated whole, efficiently and ruthlessly reaping the lives of the monsters.

There were no superfluous movements, no hesitation whatsoever; each person's actions seemed to be the perfect prelude to another's attack.

"What amazing teamwork..." Lefia's eyes revealed deep envy.

This seamless teamwork represents a profound level of trust and bond.

Their relationship must be very good...

She couldn't help but think of herself and Miss Ais.

She also longed to have such a partnership with Miss Ais, to be her most reliable support, and to gain her recognition and praise...

In the brief moment she was distracted, the four members of the Burning Feather Clan had already wiped out nearly half of the Hilichurls and Slimes as easily as cutting melons and vegetables.

"I can't just stand by and watch!"

Lefia quickly composed herself and gripped the staff in her hand tightly.

She took a deep breath, and clear Elvish chants flowed rapidly from her mouth.

"Proud warriors, archers of the forest! The advancing raiders are ahead, take up your bows! Answer the voice of your brethren, nock your arrows and ignite the flames, lights of the forest! I command you to release your arrows, fire arrows of the elves—"

She raised her staff high, and the magic gem at the tip of the staff burst forth with dazzling light.

"—Like a sudden downpour, fire engulfs the barbarian tribes!"

[A volley of flaming javelins!]

As her final incantation ended, a massive magic circle unfolded above her head.

The next second, hundreds and thousands of javelins made of flames, like a dense meteor shower, with long trails of flame, rained down on the area where the monsters were most concentrated.
