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

Then, the mage's roar changed the trajectory of the Great Flash.

From a straight line to a curve, a single-shot spell (spirit bow and lightsaber) with automatic tracking properties followed behind the astonished dragon.

The giant dragon and the light arrow were engaged in a fierce, high-speed aerial dogfight, while other dragons flew around in the cave, blocking their path. A large flash of light pierced their wings, and they relentlessly pursued the dragon king.

Then, the light bullet hit the target.

"Ooh o ...

With a dazzling flash, the Dragon King, screaming in agony, lost the "Magic Stone" and turned into a pile of dust.

Seeing the massive gray rain falling into the "Dragon Pot," Tiona stretched out her clenched fist at Lefia, while Bert merely smiled at her before attacking the remaining dragons.

Lefia felt a warmth in her chest and immediately prepared to begin the next chant.

"I can't lose to her."

Tione, who was running along the wall throwing knives, licked her lips as she watched the young mage's valiant fight. The dragons, their eyes pierced by the flying blades (daggers), plummeted with cries of agony; she landed alongside them, swinging the axe-spear she held in one hand.

Ever since witnessing a certain boy's "adventure," the female warrior had been unable to suppress her excitement, and even in the face of this predicament, she still revealed a fierce and terrifying smile.

"————————————————!!"

As the adventurer kicked the wall and leaped into the air, transforming into a projectile and falling at high speed, flames spewed from the mouths of the dragon horde. Facing the storm of fireballs, Tione swung his axe-spear all the way down, then spun it to deflect all the fireballs.

"Indestructible weapons (these things) are really convenient."

Seeing the weapon with the indestructible attribute cause countless fireballs to vanish into smoke, she smiled, then raised her axe and swung it down.

She smashed the rapidly approaching dragon's skull, splattering its brains everywhere, and used the corpse as a foothold to leap into the air.

Tione used his long-range axe-spear to cut down all the monsters around him at the same time.

"But its power is still not enough."

The axe-spear failed to cut through all the monsters' flesh at once; the blade sank into the dragon's body, causing it to struggle in agony.

Tione pulled the axe-spear that had been slashing into the dragon's body, and with one hand drew a recurve sword from his waist and slashed down.

She severed the dragon's long neck.

"Aa ...

"Ugh, this is annoying!? Tiona, you better finish this already!?"

The roar of the great red dragon on the 58th floor and the fireballs it fired made Tione curse.

"I only have one body, how can I possibly keep up!" While her younger sister was burning up below her, she also deflected several cannon shots. Tione squeaked and raised her halberd high above her head.

Tiony Schilluth – nicknamed "The Angry Serpent (jormungandr)".

Her ability to become more formidable the angrier she gets is not just a metaphor; even the gods fear this first-class adventurer.

Lefia's gaze seemed to say, "Could it be...", as she watched Tione rush towards the fireball.

"It's been noisy for a while now... Isn't it annoying?!"

The weapon with indestructible properties and the enraged female warrior shattered the Crimson Fireball.

"—Watch me kick you all to death."

As the axe-spear, raised high, exploded with sparks in the air, Bert, who was constantly killing dragons, glared angrily at the bottom of the cave.

There are four cannon dragons that can be identified within the field of vision, and by the 58th floor, there is less than 200 meters of height left.

As the "Dragon Pot" finish line drew ever closer, he sheathed the two swords he was holding in his hands at his waist.

"Hey, one shot is enough! Figure out how to deal with that fireball!"

"Let me make this clear first, blocking that will really hurt—!?"

Bert shouted to Tiona, who had landed at the same altitude, and she roared back, swinging her greatsword. The warrior deflected the artillery fire several times with her attacks, her body and clothes charred in many places, her tanned brown skin bearing multiple burns.

Hearing the girl's words, which were sizzling and steaming, Bert said, "Stop talking nonsense and get to work," as if it were none of his business.

"I'm going to go!!"

"You just wait and see—!"

The two ignored the flying dragon and charged forward toward the 58th floor.

The four pairs of cannon dragon eyes were aimed at the two approaching figures, and Bert pulled the "Demon Sword" from his leg pouch.

It was a dagger with gold embellishments and a yellow blade. He pressed the crackling, electrically charged dagger against his right foot's Frosvelt boot. The topaz inlaid in the boot absorbed the electric shock, while the "demon sword" shattered and scattered.

The next instant, the silver metal boots began to be wrapped in fierce lightning.

"Oooooo ...

Four large fireballs were launched.

Looking up, four cannon dragons (Valgonosaurs) launched a simultaneous barrage.

Seeing the barrage of fireballs hurtling towards him through a narrow gap, Bert kicked at the rock face, dodging the first one. The second fireball was about to engulf him as he floated in the air, but Tiona raised her greatsword and launched an attack.

"Ready—Hey!!"

With a deafening explosion, she dispersed the fireball to cover her companions, and Bert landed on the wall again.

Then, he accelerated in one go.

He passed between the massive fireballs flying side by side, letting the flames burn his arm guards, and broke through the impenetrable wall of artillery fire.

The Valgon Dragon's eyes were filled with astonishment, and the expanding lightning of its special weapon burned the red dragon's eyes.

Speeding like the wind.

The lightning power contained in his right foot traced a path of light across the wall he passed through, and Bert descended upon the dragons like a bolt of lightning.

In the next instant, he had already run the entire "Dragon Pot" and arrived at the 58th floor from the top of the sky with the large hole.

Thump! Bert strode into the ground floor with an imposing air.

He spotted a large red dragon directly below him, transformed into lightning, and kicked out with his silver boots (Frosvelt).

"Go to hell."

bombing.

The metal boot slammed into the dragon's upturned face, creating a large flash.

The lightning from the "Demon Sword," combined with the attack power of "Frosvelt," reached its maximum power. The great red dragon took this lightning kick infused with all its strength, its entire head disappearing as it slowly lay back and fell.

The colossal dragon, ten meters long, sank into the ground, shaking the entire floor like a collapsing tower.

Bert landed gracefully beside it, listening to the chaotic roars of the dragons, and raised his head.

"I'm back...you bastards."

The 58th layer of the deep zone.

Like the 49th floor—the Great Wilderness (Moit), this is a vast, single space, without a maze or walls that obstruct the view. It is a huge rectangular "cave" depicted with black lead-colored walls and ceilings.

The highest floor that the Loki Familia can reach is the 58th floor.

In the past, Bert and his companions suffered bombardment that ignored the floors, losing their stamina, items, and other equipment, and had to give up on conquering the maze on the 58th floor.

Looking up, the cannon dragon stood tall, and a large number of other monsters were also moving around. Faced with the terrifying scene of the 58th floor, a wolf revealed a ferocious smile.

"I came in second!"

Then, Tiona also landed on the ground of the 58th floor through the same large hole.

Countless monsters, including the Great Red Dragon, turned their attention to the two adventurers.

The next second, new figures appeared from the top of the sky.

"—[Like a sudden downpour, fire burns the barbarian tribes]."

"Run!!"

Just as Bert and his men were preparing to fight, a melodious chant and warning came from above.

Bert and Tiona looked up sharply and saw Tione, who was defending against the dragon's attack, and Lefia, whose wand was pointing at the ground, appearing from the large hole in the ceiling.

As Lefia landed, she continued to weave incantations. At this moment, she completed the incantation. Upon seeing this, Bert and the others disregarded the monster's attacks and hurriedly left the spot.

Then--

"[Volley of Fire Javelin]!!"

The fiery rain covered the 58th floor.

The sudden barrage of magic projectiles triggered screams. Even with its red scales, the Valgon Dragon could withstand dozens of fire arrows, but other monsters were not so formidable. A wide-area barrage, amplified by a large amount of spiritual energy and the powerful [Fairy Pursuit (Skill)], incinerated various deep-level monsters of small, medium, and large sizes.

Dozens of monsters turned to ashes, and the slain dragons fell one after another from above, turning the 58th floor into a scene of carnage.

"Lefia, Tione!"

"I...I'm still alive..."

"They used such exaggerated 'magic,' and they really have the nerve to say that."

Lefia was carried by Tione as they landed on the floor.

Tiona, who had barely escaped the shelling range, ran towards them. Tiona heard Lefia whispering blankly in her arms and smiled.

They shared their joy for only a moment before Bert, armed with two swords, said to them:

"Those stinky dragons must be killed no matter what. We can't let them kill Ais and the others."

His sharp, amber eyes glared around him, revealing an undiminished fighting spirit.

Black smoke billowed from the 58th floor, sparks flew everywhere, and it turned into scorched earth.

Although most of the monsters that were originally there were killed or rendered unable to fight thanks to the "magic" just now, countless enemies are still scattered throughout the floor. Dragons are emerging one after another from the several large holes that have appeared overhead, and most terrifyingly, the Cannon Dragon is still alive, with seven heads remaining.

The heavy firepower that allowed them to "ignore floors" remained a threat, and Bert told Tione and the others that they must not allow them to snipe the squad leader who was still moving up the floors.

"I agree. We can't let the monsters hurt the captain and the others."

"Lefia, please reply first."

"Okay, okay!?"

The Amazon sisters, carrying their indestructible axes and greatswords, stared intently at the seven-headed cannon dragon that was emitting a low growl. Following Tiona's instructions, Lefia quickly rummaged for the cylindrical backpack strapped to her shoulder. Panting, she hastily drank a high-grade magic potion bearing the [Deanquet Familia] mark.

"But...but...can we defeat seven heads?"

"If you can't defeat them, you're doomed. I don't need to spell it out, do I?"

"Ah, I guess so~"

Faced with the scene unfolding before her eyes, Rafia blurted out, and Bert and Tiona answered in succession.

Seven ominous red dragons ignited with immense killing intent, along with dozens of flying dragons flapping their wings and soaring into the sky, and various monsters rampaging across the ground.

The view from the 58th floor, no less impressive than the Great Wilderness Army (Furmore), shocked Lefia. Although Bert and Tione spoke as usual, they were not at ease inside.

Faced with the clearly visible line of death, even the level one adventurers tensed up.

"...How long do you think Riveria's Green Light Blessing (Veil Breath) can last?"

"After all, it's that old hag's 'magic,' it should last for an hour... but after two or three more battles, it'll probably be ineffective."

Tiona and Bert whispered to each other about the protective magic that still enveloped their bodies.

The Armor of Light, which had been protecting them from the repeated attacks of the Valgon Dragon and the Wyvern, had weakened and thinned considerably. If they were hit directly by another fireball, it would likely disappear, and Tiona and the others would be burned to death.

"...After defeating the Valgon Dragon, we'll take refuge in the passage leading to the 57th floor. We'll hide there and wait for the captain and the others to arrive, is that alright?"

Logically speaking, fighting against countless enemy forces from all directions is definitely not a good idea.

After looking around at the north and south ends of the building, and the staircases of the 57th and 59th floors, Tione gave this instruction, and Lefia and the others nodded.

"Ooo ...

Soon after, a cannon dragon let out a roar, signaling the start of the second battle.

Faced with the monsters launching a coordinated attack, Tiona, Tione, Bert, and Lefia raised their weapons and rushed forward.

The next moment.

"————Gah!?"

A shadow flew in from above and shattered the head of a cannon dragon.

"————"
