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

"────────────────────────────!?"

All three weapons were thrown at the same time.

The giant face of the "altar pillar" was instantly pierced by flying swords, spears, and axes. It had just let out a deafening scream when a hammer, swung with all its might, smashed its nose off.

The battle was thus concluded.

The reason is that this blow not only shattered the bridge of the nose, but also the "magic stone" hidden under the giant face, rendering the "altar pillar" ineffective in just a few moves.

"No way... the enemy has already... stopped..."

"Although this situation is truly infuriating... they are really strong."

"I advise you not to assess their overall combat strength, because the combined performance of those quadruplets is not 'addition,' but 'multiplication.'"

Having witnessed firsthand the unparalleled combat teamwork of the labyrinth city, Tsubaki, a second-tier adventurer of the Loki Familia, couldn't help but share her thoughts, while Grace lowered her helmet and responded.

Even though the battle was won so easily thanks to Grace and the others destroying two of the giant faces of the "altar pillars" first, the quadruplets' strength is still undeniable.

They once boasted that "the four of us working together are enough to defeat any first-level adventurer," and that was no exaggeration.

"The enemy only has its main body left! Everyone, you need to show some perseverance!"

Encouraged by Grace, the adventurers who served as "vanguard" roared and launched a full-scale attack on the "Fairy Clone" main body, which had lost its "defense mechanism," together with the Freya Familia.

"Do you need any help, Tiona?"

Due to the fierce attack of the fairies, the Fourth Division is facing the crisis of defeat.

The force that came to their rescue was a formidable Amazonian army.

"Bajé!?"

Looking at the Amazonian standing before her, the battered and bruised Tiona couldn't help but wonder if she was seeing things.

That unwavering figure bore an uncanny resemblance to the woman in Tiona's memory.

It was Baja Garive who had guided and trained the then very weak Tiona, and was her mentor.

"What is this?! It's so fragile, so incredibly fragile!"

"Argana...!"

The same applies to Tiony.

The strongest warrior in the Dou Kingdom seemed to transform into the fangs of a giant serpent, tearing the enemy's tentacles to shreds with his bare hands.

Tiony pressed down on his injured arm, staring blankly at Alganna Garif, with whom he had fought fiercely in the port city.

"Could it be... that you came here to help us...?"

They were reinforcements that even the hero never expected to appear.

Thanks to the god's arrangement, the Kali Familia came to their aid. Upon seeing Tione and the others fighting a bloody battle, they let out a bark that sounded like praise.

Tiony and Tiona harbor endless hatred for their homeland, yet now their homeland extends a helping hand to them.

Listen to the reliable shouts of the soldiers.

Tiony couldn't comprehend the emotions welling up within her, and after stammering for a while—

"--Where's Finn!? Where is Finn!? Tione!!"

"--Huh?"

But when she saw Aljana's cheeks flush and her expression turn "female," she was stunned.

"Where is the powerful masculinity who defeated me!? Where is my husband, who is worthy of taming me!?"

Upon hearing the next sentence, Tione instantly emanated an aura of absolute zero.

It is in the nature of Amazonians to be attracted to strong males.

Even Alganna, who had been defeated by Finn, was no exception. She abandoned her ferocious warrior side and completely fell into a state of "heat".

"The leader is mine! He's not yours!!!"

"No, you're wrong, Tione! Finn is my male!"

On one side was a furious roar, completely forgetting the situation on the ground; on the other side was someone expressing their passion with all their might in a broken Common Tongue.

They angrily pressed their foreheads together. The "Altar Pillars" naturally ignored this vulgar verbal sparring and unleashed a barrage of attacks, but they swiftly dodged with the agility of wild beasts.

The "fairy spirit" who brought trouble upon herself unfortunately received two murderous stares in return.

"Otherwise, whoever defeats that thing first will become Finn's female! Whoever destroys it first can have Finn all to themselves!"

"Interesting! The commander's virginity belongs to me!!"

Algana reverted to her "strongest warrior" expression, while Tione had long since put her injuries aside, her body surging with power.

They were practically like master and apprentice, as the two of them launched an attack on the "elf clone" side by side.

As if they understood each other perfectly, the warriors of the Dou Kingdom also launched their attack at the same time.

The fairy spirits felt intimidated by the extraordinary courage of the two, while the little human warriors fighting elsewhere felt a chill for no reason.

"When did the sacred land of the Amazons become a breeding ground for infatuation...?"

"However, thanks to the two of them, the enemy is no longer focusing their attacks on the healer...! We can take this opportunity to regroup!"

One of the Loki Familia members, a Level 3 orc, looked on with a helpless expression and grumbled to himself.

With several charred patches on her robes, Amid, supported by the orc, began casting healing magic to soothe her body.

"...Wow~ The fairy is being defeated and is retreating step by step~"

"Argana has completely changed... and to a chilling degree..."

The two twins, the younger sister, stared blankly at their older sister as she unleashed a series of deafening blows, leaving the enemy helpless.

However, this situation did not last long.

Bajee rallied her spirits and turned to look at Tiona.

"You defeated me once, so let me use the life I should have lost back then on you."

You could vaguely sense a smile appearing on the face hidden under the thin veil.

"I've come to save you, Diona."

After hearing this sentence—

Tiona smiled brightly, like the rising sun.

"Thank you, Baje!"

"...I really didn't expect you to come here."

Finn squinted.

"Shut up, you little dwarf, I just picked a spot where nobody walks."

A cat-man appeared in front of the first unit.

And he didn't bring any help at all—no, this adventurer, whose speed left the other members far behind, coldly berated Finn.

He was wearing a black combat suit, with shoulder armor only on his left shoulder.

A cloak was added to his shoulder armor, and he held a silver spear in his hand.

This person is none other than Ellen Fromo, a first-class adventurer known as the "Goddess Chariot" and the vice-captain of the "Freya Familia".

He casually tossed aside the map of the artificial maze given to him by the Ganesha Familia and glanced at Finn.

"Compared to that kind of thing, what kind of character are you?"

"It's nothing much, it's just that the enemy's offensive was beyond our expectations, which caused some losses to our troops."

"It's infuriating! I received praise from that goddess, yet I'm being humiliated here."

When Allen saw Finn and his group covered in wounds, calling it jealousy would be too harsh, but at the same time, one could also vaguely see his unwavering reverence for the goddess.

Making no attempt to hide his frustration, he whispered as he passed Finn:

"I'll handle that bastard. You, as the commander-in-chief, have a lot to do, so just focus on that."

"...Well, then I shall respectfully accept your offer."

After speaking, Allen ignored Finn and focused his gaze ahead.

The "Fairy Spirit Avatar" was still chanting, and countless magic circles formed in mid-air.

The fairy located on the upper part of the pillar smiled and curved its eyes into crescent moons, looking down at Allen and the others with pride.

"How dare you sing such an awful song."

Allen twitched the cat ears on his head and angrily threw out a curse.

As the magic circle emitted the flashes of fire from its cannon—

"—Prepare to die."

A deafening sound erupted from the scene.

This is the sound of a foot pushing off the ground.

The green flesh covering the ground scattered into the air like dust.

A blur shot out at an angle.

With only Finn and Shakti able to see it clearly, Allen was already close to the "Fairy Clone".

"Gah—"

The chanting that had been echoing around was replaced by the sound of a sharp blade piercing through tender flesh.

Teleport.

For the average adventurer, using this phrase to describe the scene before them is perfectly appropriate.

Allen sprinted forward, shedding all the spells he was about to unleash, and through the tiny gaps between the magic circles, leaped into the air—piercing the fairy's mouth with a single thrust.

"Stop showing off your lousy voice, you ugly freak."

"Gah... ah...?"

"You must not defile the goddess's courtyard."

Allen stepped on the fairy's face and began to stir the silver spear that was stuck in the fairy's mouth.

The "Fairy Spirit Clone" was momentarily confused and bewildered, unable to discern what was happening.

Blood tears streamed from those dark golden eyes.

"Interrupted the chanting!?"

In an instant, the distance between the enemy and ourselves was reduced to zero.

Shakti and the other adventurers were all terrified by the astonishing acceleration.

Level 6, first-class adventurer Alan Fromo.

Perhaps because his chemistry with Bert is so poor, he has another title: "The Fastest in the City".

This is not merely a metaphor; he truly possesses the fastest "foot speed" among all adventurers.

Ignoring the "altar pillars" at the bottom, Allen, who stopped the chanting faster than any other troops or adventurers, spat at the ugly fairy.

"—Aa ...

Allen nimbly dodged the tentacles that shot out from the female fairy's body.

Moreover, it did not increase the distance at all.

He used walls and pillars, even the enemy's tentacles, to maneuver like a bouncing bullet, executing hit-and-run tactics at incredible speed. The female fairy, being dismembered one after another, let out shrill screams and was torn to pieces in the blink of an eye.

"Let him handle the fairy's true form! Let's attack the pillar now!"

At Finn's command, the adventurers launched an attack without backing down.

The previous downward trend was thus reversed.

In addition—

"It's...it's the [Fierce One]..."

The true "strongest in the city" has arrived at the great cave where the immortal spirit resides.
