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

Aisha had given them many instructions before the war game began.

Rather than revealing the secret of level advancement, it's better not to use it anymore and just run away.

(The problem is, if we run away with Haruhime now, what will Aisha and the others do...!)

As Lina said, including Samira, only Hathor's kin remained at the scene.

Due to Allen and his team's "God Hunting Operation," the vast majority of the main gods have been eliminated, and many Amazons in the reserve force have also been forced to withdraw. Crucially, without Haruhime's level-up under these circumstances, Aisha, Lunova, and others, who are currently fighting to a draw with the enemy, will immediately fall into a disadvantageous position.

Should Samira follow the leader's (Aisha's) orders? Or try to maintain the front line? Just as Samira was struggling with this dilemma, sweating profusely—

"I am about to... begin chanting...!"

Before the two could make a judgment, Chunji steadied herself.

"The spell's duration has expired... I must cast a level-up spell immediately...!"

"Wait, wait a minute! No way! Haruhime!! If you do this, Aisha will scold us terribly, and you'll be in big trouble if this gets out!?"

After expelling her invisibility, Chun Ji's face was covered in cold sweat.

This was a sign of mental exhaustion; the large amount of spiritual energy potions that Haruhime had brought before the battle had long been exhausted. The mental energy consumed by chanting and leveling up was already quite intense, and Haruhime had been casting spells non-stop to support the adventurers on the front lines.

If Haruhime is lost, Lily's strategy and the current battle situation will not be viable.

She was the "greatest unsung hero" in this war.

Even so... I must continue singing...!

Because the girl was unable to fight directly and did not know how to command battles, she decided to continue singing, seeing herself as useless.

Upon seeing this, the Amazons of the former Ishtar Familia couldn't help but gasp.

"Haruhime...you..."

Samira stared intently at the fox-girl.

"...Lina is right. If the level-up is exposed, the situation will get out of control, and there will probably be another uproar like the 'Killing Stone' incident...no, it will definitely happen again."

When she came to her senses, she realized she had completely forgotten about the war and was asking questions with utmost seriousness:

"What awaits you might be even more cruel than when you were imprisoned by the goddess Ishtar... Even so, you don't mind!?"

Samira unconsciously raised her voice, but the next second—

"I don't mind!!"

"!!"

"Lady Samira!! Lady Lina!! I have already disregarded my own safety!"

Chunji answered loudly, as if she had already made up her mind.

"What value do I have if I'm always being protected?! If I become a shameless woman who disregards the safety of her companions and even stands by and watches the man I admire die, how can I possibly deserve to continue living in the sunlight?!"

"Haruhime..."

"If we lose, Lord Bell will be taken away! My family (Goddess Hestia and the others) will be heartbroken! That's the one thing I cannot accept! Absolutely cannot accept it!! Haruhime, who only longed to be protected and saved, died long ago!"

The person in front of them was no longer the girl Samira and the others knew.

"I am no longer a 'symbol of destruction'! No longer a prostitute who only knows how to weep! I am—Haruhime of the Hestia Familia!"

The prostitute who lamented her tragic fate is no more.

Standing here is a "sorcerer".

"...Haruhime, actually I used to hate you."

Samira, who was standing next to Lina, said this.

This is an undeniable fact. Unlike Aisha, who could not resist the "allure" of the goddess of beauty (Ishtar), and Lina and others who were threatened, Samira, who was in charge of the ritual implements, actively participated in the "Killing Stone" ritual.

Because she didn't care at all whether the weak woman, who was always sobbing and couldn't do anything on her own, lived or died.

She only wanted to use this girl she disliked to enjoy the battles with the powerful males (Freya's Familia).

However, now—

"You are really great right now."

"Lady Samira..."

Seeing Samira's smile, the girl couldn't help but widen her emerald green eyes.

Samira looked at the "strong woman" she admired and punched her left palm.

"Alright, sing if you want to! Sing as much as you want, Haruhime!! We'll protect you!!"

"Huh~ Is this okay!? Samira!!"

"No problem! If any shameless people set their sights on her, we'll just protect her!"

"This is terrible!! Does it mean we have to protect Haruhime for the rest of our lives?!"

Samira turned and charged toward the fighting prostitutes who were gradually being overwhelmed by the fierce warriors.

Lina, still sulking, chased after him. The gray-haired warrior (Amazonian) turned around and said to the dumbfounded Haruhime:

"Sing, Haruhime!!"

Chunji smiled brightly and nodded in response.

"【Ninefold】──"

The strange magic began to contract.

The sorcery that had been kept secret until now, thanks to the protection of the invisibility cloak, is now being revealed to the world for the first time.

"【Love's Snow. Love's Crimson (Red). Love's White Light (Light)】."

Within the "divine mirror" that reflected the various scenes of the battlefield, a golden light immediately attracted the attention of the crowd.

The adventurers and gods in the city were all focused on the fox-person who had revealed his true form at some unknown time.

"[May I be allowed to stay by your side forever—the love I found at the end of the second night (night)]."

The lingering sound lingers, and the light shines brightly.

Countless eyes on the battlefield were also captivated by the uninterrupted flow of poetry.

"【My name is Fox Demon, the destruction of the past. My name is Ancient Ballad, the longing of the past. I only wish to be a noble person, like a bird spreading its wings, to have nine demons dwell within me】."

The valiant warriors have finally found their target.

They discovered that it was the "demon fox" they had to kill.

They all let out terrifying roars, their only thought being to kill the female fox.

"[Let the golden song flow, the summons of Tamamo (song). White-faced, golden-haired, the king of nine tails]."

The fighting prostitutes roared.

The crowd was outraged in order to prevent their former younger sister from being harmed.

Since the little fox (the little good-for-nothing) had already opened its mouth to roar, how could it be acceptable if everyone didn't shout even louder? So everyone opened their mouths and roared angrily.

"[Devouring everything, achieving everything, the tail of the auspicious beast—]—"

Samira wreaked havoc on all sides.

She defeated and crushed more opponents than anyone else, and continued to fight even when her limbs were broken.

Together with Lina, they built a defensive line on the land, determined not to let any warrior cross the border.

"—[Grow bigger]."

Chanting Link-

After completing the special-grade enchantment, Haruhime immediately switched to a song familiar to Samira and the others.

"[Its power, its vessels, countless treasures, and countless desires. Until the bell tolls to announce it, enjoy glory and dreams—grow bigger!]"

The singing got faster and faster.

This familiar poem, sung countless times, travels through time at an even faster pace under the protection of the "high-speed chanting" armor.

"May this body, which has consumed the food of God, and this golden light bestowed by God, be blessed, from the mallet above to the earth below."

The valiant warriors launched a full-scale attack.

They desperately tried to stop the chanting.

The fighting prostitutes also put up a fierce resistance.

The prostitute, who had fallen, rose again to prevent the enemy from approaching the girl, and grabbed the warriors' feet, causing them to fall.

One cannot cross the line. One cannot allow anyone to cross the line.

Unable to get even a step closer to the girl. Not allowing anyone to get even a step closer to the girl.

The enraged orc lunged forward with his spear.

Samira smiled as an enemy far stronger than herself pierced her shoulder with a single shot.

She coughed up blood, raised the corners of her mouth, grabbed the male orc (Noka) by the collar, and delivered a powerful headbutt to him.

The man's helmet shattered instantly, and he rolled his eyes and passed out. The female warrior who fell with him whispered something.

Go ahead.

"Get bigger!"

Chunji responded.

She had the image of her sisters defending her to the death imprinted in her heart, and with tears welling in her eyes, she sang out her "trump card".

"【The Magic Mallet】—【Let's Dance】!!"

The ultimate "miracle" fell from the sky.

It descended upon Anya, Chloe, Lunova, Life, Naza, and Aisha.

Chun Ji unleashed all six of her upgraded tails, maximizing the strength of her army.

The adventurers with exceptional intuition and the omniscient gods immediately understood that this was the "method" by which the faction alliances had provided powerful buffs since the start of the war.

There's no turning back.

Holding the crystal in one hand, Lily, having listened to Haruhime's realization, shouted:

"Operation begins!!"

The commands are that brief.

With the command following the dazzling golden light, the first action was a throw.

Lily threw the ball forcefully into the sky, and a black ball landed near the four brothers who were fighting with Lunova and the others.

The black ball passed through the gap between the adventurers, fell to the ground, and caused a tremendous explosion.

"smoke!?"

"It's a smoke bomb!?"

To be precise, it's a magical item.

This is the Felsteed black mist that tricked even the Loki Familia when they were saving the heretic (Zenos).

Faced with this eerie black smoke that seemed to be constantly writhing and gradually wrapping around their limbs, the Alflick quadruplets could not even see Lunova and the others, let alone find their own brothers.

"A mere trifle!"

"Are you trying to use this to sabotage our cooperation?!"

The sticky, black smoke completely blocked all intelligence.

Not only were their sight and smell rendered useless, but their hearing remained intact. The four brothers, who were supposed to be united and in sync, were suddenly isolated from each other.

"—【Futsu-no-Mitama】!!"

The next moment, a powerful gravitational force suddenly struck.

The immense pressure from above caused the four brothers' bodies to sink downwards.

"Ugh...ugh...ugh...ugh...ugh...ugh!?"

This is magic activated after life is enhanced by a level. The Lv.5s, whose abilities were weakened by abnormal magic, were slowed down by the all-out attack of the adventurer who was temporarily promoted to Lv.3. In addition, the strange situation caused by the compression of magical black smoke made it even more difficult for the four to sense each other's thoughts.
