Is it wrong to try to meet someone in a dungeon?

Even so, he remained steadfast in his post.

The reason was that he knew very well that he was the only one on site who could give the correct instructions.

"Flot, go borrow some men from 'The Abundant Mistress'! You can at least handle this small matter!"

"Huh? A bar!? Guild Master, you're going too far—"

"Just go now, ahh ...

"Yes, yes, I obey!!"

Lloyd had no time to worry about other trivial matters. He dug out the whereabouts and abilities of all the high-level adventurers from his memory, sifting through the characters whose combat strength could be put to use. "Notify Takemikazuchi, Mih, and the [Derlin Familia] to go to the East District!" Whether they were junior or mid-level factions, he decided to use them all. Even the capable "familias" who had been sent to eliminate the Green Flesh on a "mandatory mission" were all mobilized and sent to quell this riot.

"That damn Finn! How dare he just wash his hands of the matter and say, 'I'll leave everything to you after we go out'...! He probably knew this would happen!"

As the guild leader, Lloydman—

A personality trait characterized by loyalty to self-interest and desires, and the willingness to utilize everything that can be used.

He truly deserves the title of "guild's pig".

"If you fail to save this entire city, I will absolutely not forgive you!!"

But his concern for Orario was stronger and more genuine than anyone else's.

Otherwise, the city creation god would not have entrusted him with the position and responsibility of the highest authority—equivalent to the position of "leader" in the context of the [Family].

Loiman channeled his frustration from the stomach pain he had been suppressing into a roar, which he unleashed on the spot.

"You must protect this city, adventurers! You must defend my...our Orario, no matter what!"

Even though their own kind despises the "guild's pig" who is sweating profusely and constantly giving instructions, they are still willing to obey his orders.

"To be honest... it's been a long time since a war has involved the entire Orario like this."

"Yes, it hasn't happened since the war with the dark factions ended."

The people were gradually gathered in the central square, which had been opened as a refuge area. Freya and Ganesha, who had sent out their families, were discussing countermeasures there.

To avoid missing this "feast," the gods all unleashed their full power.

The reason is that everyone has realized that this war will determine the future of the lower realm.

"The situation has spiraled out of control... It turns out I was aiding and abetting evil for the sake of 'Ocean'."

Njord looked at the scene before him with deep regret, and then said loudly:

"Leave the surface issues to us! So you absolutely have to win, Loki!"

*

"────────────────────!!"

These are the footsteps of a large-scale attack.

The adventurers, in a mighty wave, surged into the "Demon Castle" man-made labyrinth from the entrances and exits of the dungeon and labyrinth street.

The journey was smooth all the way.

Not only on the ninth floor, they quickly traversed the path opened up by the Loki Familia on the tenth floor and launched an assault on the large cavern where the "celestial clone" was located.

Everything was for this moment.

Whether it's Finn's almost obsessive attack on the "altar pillars," which is to destroy the labyrinth's "defense mechanism" with all his might, or having Fels play a "prank" to cut off the "magic" circuit.

"Try to get the follow-up troops to the location of the 'Fairy Clone' unharmed."

Finn proposed this strategy at a war council before the "second wave of offensive" began.

In the face of a battle that will determine the fate of Orario, it would be pointless not to commit the city's main fighting force. Having personally experienced the threat posed by the "City Destroyers," all major factions, including the Freya Familia, must put aside their differences and unite in a common battle.

"It's not hard to imagine that the man-made labyrinth transformed into an 'altar' will resist to the death in ways that are beyond imagination. Therefore, we should first secure the path to the target location, and then let the reinforcements deliver the fatal blow to the enemy."

The large force composed of the Loki Familia, the Ganesha Familia, the Hephaestus Familia, and the Deanquet Familia is actually just a "vanguard force".

Their job is to launch surprise attacks on enemy positions, gather as much intelligence as possible, and fight their way through to allow "reinforcements" to enter the battlefield unharmed.

The reason is that Finn immediately saw that the Freya Familia was absolutely incapable of cooperating with others, so he devised a "two-stage attack plan." He had initially shouted to the goddess to "fight side by side," but then immediately abandoned the possibility of cooperation. Such a person is not a realist, but a difficult and ruthless character.

"Charge! Aaaaaaahh ...

Fels, the "secret operation" member, has thoroughly explored all the paths on the tenth floor.

The black-clad magician used his "eye crystal" to inform the surface troops of the passable paths, so that the reinforcements could head straight for the six cave chambers, whether they attacked from the underground city or the labyrinth street.

The "counter-attack magic" that had previously caused so much trouble for the "vanguard" forces, including the Loki Familia, had completely ceased operation. The Great Chamber's defenses were partially destroyed, and the "altar pillars" were preoccupied with repairing the magic lines damaged by Fels, leaving the "subsequent invaders" to pass right under their noses.

The bloody path that Finn and his men fought their way through was indeed rewarded.

There is no need to worry about being detected by the enemy or being ambushed by the enemy.

The various "follow-up troops" easily passed through the passage.

The first reinforcements to arrive at the final battle stage were, unsurprisingly, another group of "the strongest in the city".

The explosions produced by "magic" and the flashes of swords severing tentacles.

This was a fierce attack launched by reinforcements to save the Loki Familia, who had arrived at the battlefield earlier.

"It's the Freya Familia!"

Faced with the legion that made its grand entrance amidst the screams of agony played from the "altar pillars," the Loki Familia were all filled with a mixture of surprise and delight.

This reinforcement force is mainly composed of elves.

The two people who emerged were the black and white elves who had just unleashed "magic" and slashes simultaneously.

"Long time no see, noble lady."

"Who are you...!"

This is the second unit led by Riveria.

Before the royal family, who had erected a protective barrier, the two elves, though not kneeling, still followed the etiquette of their race and bowed.

"Although we usually engage in ugly battles, let's at least fight side by side this time."

"[White Elf Wand] Hedin Thranduil..."

"I have sworn allegiance to the goddess Freya, and at this moment I am willing to serve you as a sworn brother."

Her skin was as white as porcelain, and her hair was as long as golden silk.

The adventurer, who was also a white elf like Riveria, murmured this calmly, adjusting his glasses.

At first glance, he appears slender, yet he wields a double-edged sword that is far longer than his height in one hand.

This first-tier weapon can be used as a "magic wand" to amplify magic power, and it is also a "weapon" to kill enemies.

"This person before you is a noble member of the royal family. You should at least say something, Hegni."

「… … … … … … … … … … 」

The other person had brown skin and silver-purple hair.

He wore a black cloak and coat, and held a terrifying black longsword in his hand.

This dark elf, a rare sight in a modern world teeming with white elves, remained silent despite being urged on.

Those piercing eyes, still befitting a warrior's spirit, were trembling with an incredibly rapid and subtle fluctuation that only their partner could detect. "You easily flustered fellow..." the white elf sighed impatiently, almost complaining.

"This is the Black Elf Sword Hegni Ragnar... and with the White Elf Wand, he becomes the 'Black and White' Knight."

These two level-one elf adventurers are among the "strongest combat force" of the Freya Familia.

Faced with Hedin and Hegni, the two renowned "most ferocious magic swordsmen," Riveria narrowed her eyes slightly.

"...Buy me some time, and I'll take care of the rest with 'magic'."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

No need for further words.

All that's needed is to appoint two of the clan's proudest warriors as forwards.

Upon receiving the king's order, the two knights responded simultaneously and dashed off in the next instant.

One person casts "Parallel Chanting," while another transforms into a whirlwind to attack the ugly giant pillar.

A lightning bolt exploded, followed by a blade of light that resembled a black meteor.

The "altar pillars" rained down a barrage of fire, but the two moved with ease, parrying and deflecting attacks, casting spells of incineration and slashing with their swords. They quickly made up for the lack of suppression left by the second unit due to the Sword Maiden's temporary absence with a fierce offensive. The two "magical swordsmen," who unilaterally slaughtered the enemy to the point of making them cry out in despair, were indeed as powerful as gods.

As the female warriors of the Loki Familia and the Ganesha Familia were stunned by the sight before them, the elven-led forces also began to fight in accordance with the king's decree.

The "magical" flowers bloom in a dazzling display of beauty.

The ferocity of the bombardment was in no way inferior to the "counterattack magic" of the "altar pillar".

The "Black and White" knights had no intention of waiting for Riveria's magic; they allowed the continuous flashes of light to illuminate their faces as they ravaged the "Fairy Clone."

"I never imagined I'd be fighting alongside my enemy."

"Since we're quadruplets anyway, let's divide our dissatisfaction into four parts and try to think more positively."

"But the person we came to rescue happened to be that savage dwarf. How am I supposed to be happy about this?"

"At least he's much better than that shameless hero who thinks he's the symbol of his race."

Four identical voices rang out.

A group of little soldiers appeared in front of the Third Army.

"How could the people who come to help me be a bunch of filthy little people who are even more arrogant than Finn?!"

Upon seeing that the reinforcements were led by the Lilliputian quadruplets, Grace was so angry that he cursed loudly.

Sword, hammer, spear, axe.

Each of them wielded four weapons that were clearly disproportionate to their short stature, reflecting the magical light of the "magic circle" back at them.

The quadruplets, who were the size of toddlers, were all dressed in yellowish-brown armor and wore full-face helmets of the same color, just like the description of "fully armed toy soldiers," but no one dared to underestimate them.

【The Four Warriors of Flame Gold】──

They are a group of little monsters who, like Finn, are of the dwarf race, but whose strength has reached the level of a first-class adventurer.

They were also feared heroes known as the "Four Brothers of Jaliba".

"You four are still the same as ever, so alike I can't tell you apart! Let me give you a hug and see if there's any difference. And while I'm at it, let's see who's more comfortable to hug, you or Finn!"

"Don't touch me, don't come any closer, you half-baked idiot."

"You woman who's been roasted in the ironworks, if I were sandwiched between your ridiculously large breasts, people would laugh their heads off."

"Go and apologize to the goddess Freya while you're crying."

"Stop it, or I'll have to spend even more time showering."

"Hahaha! Hahahaha! I say, Grace! Can we chop these guys up now?!"

"Stop talking nonsense! At least pick a time and place!"

Chun's slight teasing remark immediately earned her a heartfelt and self-righteous insult from the quadruplets, causing her to laugh and go berserk at the same time. As Grace angrily denounced this place as a battlefield, the "altar pillars" seemed to affirm this and unleashed a barrage of artillery fire.

As Grace and the others quickly fled, the dwarves also turned their four pairs of eyes toward their "enemy".

"Is that it?" "It's probably that." "I see, it's really ugly." "What should we do with it?"

"Is that even a question? Just expel them."

"Then let's start fighting."

The fluent and unhurried conversation between the four of them sounded like they were talking to themselves at first glance.

At the command of their elder brother Alfiek Jariba, his younger brothers Duvalin, Bellin, and Ger immediately sprang into action.

Whether it was because the four of them immediately recognized the effectiveness of the "Fairy Flags" or not, they swiftly snatched the flags from Tsubaki and the Loki Familia members and launched an attack. Facing "counter-attack magic" from various directions, including flames, lightning, blizzards, and flashes of light, they used their respective "Fairy Flags" to neutralize them one by one.

Alfred dispersed the flames, Duvalin struck down the lightning, Bellin swept away the blizzard, and Gel deflected the flash.

The above scenario "repeatedly occurred".

Endless collaboration.

With the combined efforts of the four short figures, the rain of magic spells all came to naught.

Seeing the four people still crossing the battlefield at lightning speed, the Loki Familia couldn't help but chuckle, thinking about how much trouble they had suffered just trying to get close to their target.
