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

Tiona and Tione helped each other up, watching helplessly as the blonde, golden-eyed girl sprayed blood and flew into the sky.

Rivera stood there helplessly.

Exhausted Raul and the others.

A tsuba that uses weapons to support its body.

Lefia collapsed to the ground.

Grace is kneeling on the ground.

Bert and Finn were sent flying by the whip.

All eyes were on the girl as she flew up to the sky.

“——”

Despite the bleeding from her head, Ais's eyes showed no sign of weakening.

Her eyes remained as sharp as swords, and using the force of being thrown high into the air, she looked up at the sky from the top of the building.

Ais pulled the Sword of Despair in her right hand tightly behind her back in an upside-down posture.

"【Tempest】——"

Maximum output.

The spiritual energy gathered from his entire body was loaded into [Wind Spirit Swiftness].

The hurricane-force airflow, exceeding the intensity of the storm, roared.

"! 』

Seeing Ais directly above him, about to unleash a fatal blow, the blood-covered female figure rapidly began chanting.

【Flash, speed, pierce the darkness, I am the agent, the lux, the embodiment of light, the queen (king) of light—】

The short incantation summoned a huge white magic circle above the female figure's head, facing a swordsman directly.

Ais met the eyes of the "fairy" who was looking up at her, and at the same time pointed the tip of her sword towards the ground.

The moment that strike was about to be delivered.

Everyone looked up at her.

"Ais..."

Rivera murmured.

"Do it."

Grace squinted.

"Go!!"

Tiona and Tione roared.

"Beat it up."

Bert said.

"Please."

Finn smiled.

"—Miss Ais—————————————————!!"

Lefia called out the girl's name.

Then--

"Miniature strong wind"

A divine wind howled out.

[A blinding explosion!]

The "Fairy Spirit's" magic also activated at the same time.

A clash erupted between the powerful, spiraling arrows hurtling towards the earth and the flashing cannon fire aimed at the sky.

The two sides only clashed for a moment.

The divine wind scattered the white flashes of light in all directions as it surged forward.

『——————————————————————————————』

The indestructible sword pierced the female figure's head and chest, going all the way through.

A gust of wind swept through the fairy's upper body and down to the monster's lower body, piercing through its massive form.

The silver-white sword blade cut through the enemy's body and advanced, a strong spiral of wind rushed past, tearing through the flesh, and the girl burst into a loud roar.

The next instant, she pierced through the massive body completely, then crashed into the ground and exploded.

The "magic stone" on the woman's breasts was pierced and turned to dust in an instant, then blown away by the earth-shattering roar of the storm.

The strong winds created a tremendous shockwave, shaking the entire floor.

The blast kicked up a lot of dust and raged wildly.

"~ ...

The adventurers shielded their faces with their arms to weather the raging winds and torrents.

An astonishing wind pressure surged in, its colorless impact painting the field of vision like a flash of light.

The blades of the weapons stuck in the ground vibrated and clattered, resonating with the shouts of the sword.

The divine wind roared endlessly.

then.

The crowd endured the impact that caused the underground city to tremble for quite some time.

Tiona and the others, who had been crouching low, looked up... and saw a shadow moving in the center of the huge crater.

The girl who had plunged the silver sword into the ground slowly stood up.

Bathed in phosphorescent, shimmering golden hair, and with golden eyes turning back—this elicited loud cheers.

"Ais--!!

With a power that seemed to come from nowhere, Tiona rushed toward her with her battered body.

Tiony followed immediately, and seeing their beaming smiles, Ais gave a small smile in return. The Amazonian girl lunged forward, hugging the girl tightly with her sister.

"...Are you alright, Grace?"

"...According to some brat (Palum), I seem to have this body that's particularly strong."

Finn walked over to Grace, who was sitting sprawled on the ground covered in blood, and returned the dwarf's upturned lips with a smile. Seeing their conversation, Bert, who had stopped nearby, also closed his eyes and smiled.

Far behind, male and female supporters embraced and wept, while only Raul covered his eyes with one arm and cried loudly like a man.

"...Are you alright, Lefia?"

"...Lady Rivera...Where is Miss Ais?"

Rivera knelt down and picked up Lefia. She lay in the royal's arms and raised her hazy eyes.

Gently embracing the girl, Rivera directed her gaze toward Ais and the others.

"She's alright. Your magic... saved the child."

Ais stumbled as Tiona and Tione embraced her, while Lefia watched her.

The blonde, golden-eyed girl quickly turned her head and looked at Lefia, moving her lips slightly.

He said, "Thank you."

“Ahh…”

Seeing Ais's radiant smile, Lefia's vision blurred.

A tear rolled down her beautiful blue eyes.

A genuine smile appeared on the girl's face.

"Wow, wow, I've really seen something amazing."

Chun gazed at the Loki Familia, who were sharing their joy, from afar, and touched her left eyepatch.

A moment later, she smiled like a child.

A triumphant cheer erupted from the 59th floor.

Adventurers who had crossed the "Adventure" realm shouted loudly, and all their weapons gleamed.

In the center of the floor, there is a sword pulled from the ground.

It also shimmered with a silvery-white light in the girl's hands.

The script revealed in the final chapter of the spin-off Sword Oratoria 4.

After the battle on the 59th floor, under Finn's orders, the Loki Familia immediately began preparations for retreat.

Using the cobbled-together props as a base, the group managed to treat everyone—restoring their bodies to a point where they could move again—before heading towards the 50th floor where their base was located.

The 58th floor was still in a production break period, but the group didn't miss the opportunity and completed the "Dragon Pot" run.

"—So you're saying that even that female-shaped (monster) was just a vanguard?"

On the 51st floor, which they reached at full speed, Riveria and Finn ran side by side, keeping their voices down.

The monsters and other enemies they encountered along the way were all dealt with by Tiona and her companions, whose stamina recovered at an astonishing rate and who were shouting "Hah-ah—!" Finn nodded in agreement.

"There's no mistake, didn't Ais and Lefia see the 'orb' parasitize the monster, turning it into a female form?"

"That's what I heard them say, but..."

On the opposite side from Riveria, Grace, who ran without showing any signs of serious injury, couldn't help but groan.

As the squad pushed forward despite their battered and bruised bodies, Finn, based on the information he had gathered on the 59th floor, shared his thoughts, which made Riveria and the others visibly shaken.

"So that means..."

"That's right—"

"—The female body type has a separate entity."

Guild Underground Temple, Prayer Hall.

Through the crystal magic item held by Ais, Uranus and Fels witnessed the entire process and conversed amidst the torchlight.

"The source of the 'Precious Pearl Fetus' clones... the true form of the 'Filthy Immortal Essence' is likely lurking below the 60th floor."

Uranus speculated in a low voice.

The screams emitted by the unprotected female figure after the mage (Riviel) fired the cannon are likely a distress signal.

Just like from the floors below, the protective barrier against the monster opened.

Furthermore, given the complete transformation of the terrain, environment, and ecosystem on the 59th floor, Uranus believed that the enemy's true form was deeper within the dungeon, and thus told Fels.

Fels listened silently to what the old man said, then sighed and said, "The situation is more serious than I thought," shaking his black clothes.

"These strange people seem to be products of that 'Filthy Fairy'... I never imagined that the fairies sent to save humanity would now become the root of all evil threatening Orario."

Fels whispered weakly, "This is so ironic."

"Although there were indeed signs of unusual changes a few years ago, I didn't expect that we hadn't noticed them until now... Could their unusually active behavior lately be due to Ais Wallenstein?"

"I'm afraid so."

Uranus nodded at what Fels said, then narrowed his azure eyes.

"Of course, one day we must settle things with the true form of the 'Filthy Fairy.' However, for now—"

"The problem doesn't lie here."

Finn continued running through the maze, saying:

"The incident on the 24th floor that Ais and the others witnessed... a 'jewel fetus' that parasitized the food storage, making its body plump. It evolved into a female form—no, a 'demi spirit'—by devouring 'magic stones' collected from various monsters such as man-eating plants."

"Could it be...?"

"That's right, they want to transform the easily transportable 'jewel' into a mature enough individual capable of using magic, so that it can ascend to immortality on the ground... The enemy's goal is to summon 'fairy spirits' on the ground."
