DanMachi: Heroic Epic of Emiya the Great Hero

Chapter 30: Chapter 30: Loki and Freya Familia Heading Into Dungeon



Lefiya hurriedly responded, her voice filled with fear, 'Sister Alicia must be very disappointed with me today...'

"Lefiya, that was a good attack spell. First, heal yourself and Shirou, then come and heal us."

Alicia said softly, "Hurry up, if burns are not treated promptly, they will leave scars."

Lefiya: "Ah? Yes!"

Suddenly, Haruhime exclaimed with joy, "Lord Emiya's heartbeat is getting stronger!"

"It really works, next it's my turn..."

Ryuu pushed Alicia aside.

Faced with such a scene, Haruhime's face was so red she was about to faint, but since Emiya was still lying on her lap, she managed to hold on.

'I'm giving Lord Emiya a lap pillow, this is no different from wife behavior, ugh...', Haruhime thought.

As for Lefiya, watching two respected senior adventurers from her own race taking turns to "heal" a boy younger than herself, she felt her worldview was about to collapse.

Alicia looked up and wiped the corner of her mouth, "Lefiya, quickly cast the healing spell. If we still have strength after healing, come and help massage Shirou's body to accelerate blood circulation and promote his recovery."

"Yes, yes, ma'am!"

The battle to defeat the Dungeon King, Black Goliath, is complete.

"Finn, what's wrong with you? You look uneasy."

The red-haired goddess Loki asked her own captain.

Finn frowned and explained, "My thumb is tingling."

Finn, the captain of the Loki Familia, has a special ability. This ability is not a skill brought by the blessing of the gods, but his innate instinct.

Whenever something bad is about to happen, his thumb will ache.

Relying on this ability, Finn has led the Loki Familia through numerous crises.

'What on earth is happening...', Finn was thinking this when a voice suddenly interrupted.

"Captain, something terrible has happened!!!"

Someone shouted as they rushed in.

Finn immediately stood up and asked, "What happened, Raul?"

Raul, who had hurriedly returned to the Familia, looked panicked, "I just heard from some adventurers that they saw Alicia and Lefiya on the 12th floor. There was an earthquake in the dungeon, and the 12th floor collapsed on a large scale. Those adventurers escaped..."

"But Alicia and Lefiya haven't returned yet!"

Finn's expression immediately became serious.

Lefiya is the future star of the Loki Familia, and Alicia is an important officer of the magic unit. If something happens to both of them, it would be a major blow to the Loki Familia.

"Raul, go find Ais and Bete. Loki-sama, please inform Riveria and Gareth. We need to head to the dungeon immediately to carry out a rescue."

"Yes, sir."

"Understood."

As soon as Finn's orders were given, the entire Loki Familia immediately sprang into action, and soon, a group of people had gathered.

.

.

.

"This dungeon earthquake not only had a high intensity but also a wide range of impact. According to the guild's information, the 12th floor experienced a large-scale collapse, forming many vertical holes leading to the 15th floor and beyond.", Raul, looking pale, shared the information he had gathered, "And Alicia and Lefiya, their sightings were on the 12th floor. Several adventurers saw Alicia hunting a 'Baby Dragon'."

Finn continued Raul's words, "And until now, Alicia and Lefiya have not returned."

Originally, with Alicia's Lv.4 strength, except for the Dungeon King Goliath, there were no threats to her in the upper and middle layers. But the dungeon earthquake must represent an "abnormal situation."

Finn's aching thumb also indicated this; Alicia and the others must have encountered some trouble.

"Just in case, we will carry out a rescue immediately. Ais, Bete, you are the fastest, go to the dungeon first."

"Understood!"

"Tch, got it!"

["Sword Princess" Ais Wallenstein] and ["Ferocious Wolf" Bete Loga], both are new generation adventurers of the Loki Familia, currently at Lv.5.

"Captain, there's new information!"

A rabbit-eared member ran over. He is Rakte from the second army of the Loki Familia, at Lv.3. Finn had sent him and other second army members to gather information from various places.

Rakte, who had run back at full speed, gasped, "The passage from the 16th to the 17th floor has collapsed due to the earthquake, and vertical holes leading to the 17th floor have also appeared on the 16th floor."

Riveria's face turned pale, "The 17th floor? The 'malice of the dungeon' is so deep, is it targeting Lefiya?"

Among everyone, Riveria was naturally the most anxious. Both Alicia and Lefiya are her fellow countrymen, the former being her trusted deputy, and the latter her student.

If Goliath were to revive early, Alicia alone would not be able to handle it.

"Riveria, Gareth, let's hurry and set off.", Finn said.

Two Lv.5s went first, followed closely by three Lv.6s, and the emergency rescue team of the Loki Familia set off in full force.

.

.

.

"What day is it today? First the Freya Familia, then the Ishtar Familia, and now the Loki Familia is here.", Arriving at the base of Babel Tower, the entrance to the dungeon, the sharp-eared first-class adventurers immediately caught the voice of a certain adventurer.

"What do you mean by 'Freya Familia' and 'Ishtar Familia'?", Finn pulled out the adventurer who had spoken.

The adventurer shivered under the gaze of the three Lv.6s, "J-just now, members of the Freya Familia and the Ishtar Familia collided at the dungeon entrance. The 'King' and the 'Goddess's Chariot' beat up the Ishtar Familia members and drove them out."

"The 'Man Killer' was beaten so badly, she was embedded into the ground. Look, right there."

Another adventurer added, pointing to a swollen, large, and ugly hole in the floor nearby.

["King" Ottar], a boaz warrior, captain of the Freya Familia, the strongest in the city, the only Lv.7 adventurer.

["Goddess' Chariot" Allen Fromel], a cat person spearman, vice-captain of the Freya Familia, known as the fastest Lv.6 adventurer in the city.

["Man Killer" Phryne Jamil], an Amazon warrior, captain of the Ishtar Familia, also the only Lv.5 adventurer in the Ishtar Familia.

'What's going on with the Freya Familia, both the captain and vice-captain are out?'

'And what's the situation with the Ishtar Familia?'

Riveria and Finn exchanged glances, empathizing that these two familias must be in a similar situation to the current Loki Familia—important members are trapped in the dungeon.

"Where did the 'Freya Familia' and 'Ishtar Familia' go?", Finn asked.

"The Ishtar Familia ran away after being beaten, and the Freya Familia just entered the dungeon. The 'Sword Princess' and 'Ferocious Wolf' also just went down.", A passerby adventurer answered.

"Alright, thank you for your help. Let's go down too."

Finn nodded, taking the lead and stepping into the large hole that was the dungeon entrance, with Riveria and Gareth following closely behind.

Although they are not speed-type adventurers like Ais, Bete, and Allen, their levels ensure that their speed is not slow. The three Lv.6s of the Loki Familia quickly passed through the previous floors and finally caught up with Ais and Bete on the 16th floor.

And also, the strongest in the city, ["King" Ottar], who was clearing the passage between floors blocked by falling rocks, one sword strike at a time.

"Tch, troublesome people keep appearing one after another."

["Goddess' Chariot" Allen] clicked his tongue on the side.

The Loki Familia's Ais and Bete stood away from Ottar and the others, with Bete looking at Allen with dissatisfaction.

"Ottar, our goal is to rescue the trapped members."

Finn stepped forward to negotiate, "You're here to rescue people too, right? Let's put aside the grudges between familias for later and cooperate fully today, how about it?"

"I'll help too."

The dwarf warrior of the Loki Familia, ["Heavy Hitter" Gareth], stepped forward, wielding his heavy axe to break through the rocks.

Ottar did not object, "We're just here on a commission to rescue people, do as you please."

With that, he swung his greatsword, smashing a huge rock.

On the other side, Allen's expression was very impatient, but he didn't say much more.

Among everyone, the one with the highest firepower is actually the Lv.6 mage Riveria, but her magic is too powerful. To prevent the entire passage from collapsing, it's better to have the warriors clear the way.

A Lv.7 and a Lv.6, the two strongest warriors in the city, worked together and quickly cleared the passage.

Without a word, this strongest rescue team composed of the top two factions in the city moved forward with tacit understanding towards the deepest room on the 17th floor.

Then, they witnessed a scene that would impact their worldview.

At the entrance to the deepest room on the 17th floor, there was a "mountain of corpses and a sea of blood" composed of shattered magic stones and dropped items from a large number of monsters.

The quantity was so large that even the well-traveled high-level adventurers were secretly shocked.

Finn and Riveria whispered to each other, "This is the first time I've seen so many monster drops at the entrance to Goliath's room."

"It's as if at least a hundred monsters tried to break into the Dungeon King's room but were annihilated here."

"Someone released a powerful wide-area annihilation magic here, it seems this magic can be directed in a fixed direction 'radially'..."

The two from the Freya Familia had no hesitation, stepping into the Dungeon King's room with their heads held high.

The adventurers from the Loki Familia followed closely behind.

Just some dropped items, even if there are a lot of them, these first-class adventurers have seen it all, what scene haven't they witnessed?

"Alicia, Lefiya, you must be safe!", As she entered the huge room, Riveria closed her eyes and prayed in her heart.

Then, she heard Finn's voice.

"What is this situation?", Finn, known for his "wisdom" in Orario, instinctively voiced his confusion, his tone containing three parts confusion, three parts incomprehension, three parts shock, and one part questioning life.

Having known each other for decades, Riveria saw for the first time Finn, who always appeared composed, expressing such a complex emotion resembling a pie chart.

And after personally seeing the scene before her, Riveria's emotions were even more indescribable than Finn's.
