The Fukaros Familia, starting from DanMachi.

The flaming sword, its momentum undiminished, cleaved the Ice Abyss Mage cleanly in two, starting from the center of his head and descending along his staff.

The scorching sword energy pierced through, leaving a charred black sword mark several meters long on the hard stone slab behind it, with the edges still burning.

As the abyss mage, now cleaved in two, dissipated into specks of light, the entire platform finally fell into complete silence.

At this point, all the monsters in the secret realm dungeon [Midsummer Courtyard] were completely annihilated by them.

Fen Yu slowly dissipated the longsword made of flames in his hand. The iron sword, which was already overburdened, let out a mournful cry. The blade was covered with spiderweb-like cracks and finally shattered into countless metal fragments with a "crash" and fell to the ground.

He exhaled a long, scorching breath, and the surging power brought by the enchanted magic [Eternal Flame] receded like a tide, leaving him feeling a bit weary.

The battle is over.

At that very moment, the entire massive circular altar space began to emit a low hum.

At the center of the platform beneath their feet, in the area where Lefia's magic had blasted a scorched crater, light began to converge.

A blue-purple vortex, exactly the same as the one at the entrance, appeared out of thin air, slowly rotating and emitting a soft halo; it was clearly a portal to leave this place.

Beside the portal, the light condensed and became even more dazzling and intense, finally transforming into an ancient yet magnificent treasure chest with a "hum".

The treasure chest was about half a person's height, made of an unknown dark wood, and inlaid with silver metal strips that formed intricate star and vine patterns.

In the very center of the lid, a large blue gemstone flickers on and off, as if breathing, radiating a captivating magical aura.

"Treasure chest!"

Just a moment ago, Fen Yu was slightly tired from the end of the battle, but the moment he saw the treasure chest, his eyes suddenly lit up.

It was a look of expectation and fervor, completely different from the calm and sharp gaze he had displayed during the battle.

He almost subconsciously rubbed his hands together, strode forward, and eagerly announced, "I'll drive! I'll drive! I'm very lucky!"

Seeing his appearance, the robin couldn't help but chuckle, gently covering his mouth with his hand and letting out a soft laugh.

She knew this would happen.

Every time Fenyu used the system called "Entangled Fate" to summon at the Familia headquarters, he looked just as expectant and excited.

She had also played games and could understand the obsession with not being able to leave when you see a treasure chest.

However, out of politeness and consideration, she did not forget that there was an "outsider" here.

She looked at Lefia beside her and asked softly, "Miss Lefia, you don't have any objections, do you?"

"Huh? No, no problem."

Lefia tilted her head, her blue eyes filled with confusion. "Mr. Fenyu, please open it if you want."

She didn't understand at all why they had to ask for her opinion before opening a treasure chest.

In her mind, the treasures in the dungeon, whether magic stones or dropped items, appeared directly after the monsters died. There was no such thing as opening treasure chests. This strange sense of ritual made her feel both curious and confused.

Having received permission, Fen Yu was even more eager to try, his face beaming with confidence.

He had unwavering faith in his elusive "luck".

Just kidding, he summoned Robin, Tifa, and Violet—three practically perfect companions—and didn't miss a single time. With such a perfect start, how could he possibly lose with the dragon charging in? Today is definitely going to be a golden day.

He took a deep breath, placed his hand on the lock of the treasure chest, and lifted it upwards with force.

"Click".

With a crisp click, the lid of the box opened.

In an instant, several orbs of light of different colors emerged from the treasure chest, each radiating its own light.

However, the smile on Fen Yu's face froze the moment he saw the color of the light.

His body seemed to freeze, and he instinctively slammed the treasure chest lid shut with a loud "bang".

"Impossible... I must have seen wrong..." he muttered to himself, rubbed his eyes, and opened the treasure chest again with renewed hope.

Inside the treasure chest, the two soft blue lights, the bright purple light, and the book emitting a faint green light still lay there quietly, as if mocking his naivety.

Fen Yu's face turned completely dark.

"Yu Bao, did you... get a bad temper?" Feng Jin blinked and curiously leaned closer.

She peered over the statue-like Fen Yu and peered into the treasure chest, clearly seeing the several orbs of light.

"No gold? That's impossible!" Fen Yu looked at his hands and fell into deep self-doubt.

This unscientific.

Their lineup wasn't strong: a Lv.3 Lefia, a Lv.2 version of themselves, plus three Lv.1 companions.

Five people, which is more than half short of the ten-person limit for the dungeon.

According to that "drop limit" theory, the lower the level and the fewer the number of players, the higher the drop rate should be.

In this situation, how could there not even be a single "Golden Legend"?

"Um... what's wrong with Mr. Fenyu?"

Looking at Fen Yu's dejected expression, as if betrayed by the whole world, Lefia asked Robin in a low voice, somewhat worried and puzzled.

"It's okay, don't worry about it, it'll be fine in a bit."

The robin smiled helplessly and gently comforted her.

"Alright, don't be discouraged. Let's see what fell down first."

Tifa was the most pragmatic. She walked to the treasure chest and took out the balls of light one by one.

The light faded, revealing their true forms.

The first item is a feather, a three-star "Homecoming Feather," which belongs to the "Wanderer's Heart" set.

Its entire body presents a soft color between milky white and light blue, as if it were the condensation of the first ray of light on the horizon at dawn.

The texture of the feathers is exceptionally unique; they feel warm and smooth to the touch, like jade, yet are as light as a feather.

Upon closer inspection, one can see wisps of pale blue light flowing slowly within the translucent feather shaft, like a stream of longing.

Simply holding it can evoke a nameless longing and yearning for one's distant hometown.

The second item is a pocket watch, a three-star "Adventurer's Pocket Watch", which belongs to the "Adventurer" set.

The bronze casing is covered with fine scratches and traces of erosion, as if it had accompanied its owner through countless treacherous mountains and barren deserts.

Its dial has no numbers; instead, it features twelve ancient runes of different shapes, each representing a different direction and celestial phenomenon.

The pointers are no ordinary objects either. One slender pointer always points to a certain star in the sky, while the other, short and thick pointer, like a compass, persistently points to the unknown distance.

Holding it, you can feel a faint but tenacious magic, the crystallization of an adventurer's indomitable and ever-forward will.
