Danmachi: A Mage's Journey

If you follow the path on the left and walk along the wall, there is a road with a cave in front, and you can enter the normal maze.

But Akira didn't want to go around in the maze level by level, and finally reach the cave and go back up.

So, after eating the lunch he brought while gazing at the spectacular scenery, Akira stood on the cliff and looked at the entrance to the 26th floor.

Although he had experience sniping a black Wyvern from high altitude, that was done in an emergency situation and he had no time to worry about his fear of heights.

But now he was a little scared looking down alone in this situation. Even though he knew he wouldn't die, the fear of heights still came to his mind.

After taking a deep breath, Akira looked at the bottomless waterfall and psyched himself up.

He stepped on the edge of the cliff and jumped towards the entrance resolutely.

In an instant, his adrenaline surged rapidly, his breathing became rapid, his heartbeat accelerated, and an extreme excitement and pleasure surged into his heart.

In a state of weightlessness, time seemed to stand still, and the surrounding scenery quickly shrank, bringing a wonderful feeling of being out of gravity's constraint.

Akira turned his body upside down, feeling the fresh wind blowing on his back. He watched the place where he had just stood getting farther and farther away from him.

The whole world seemed to be turned upside down.

He inexplicably felt a kind of enjoyment, a kind of spiritual release, which made him laugh heartily.

As he got closer and closer to the target, Akira quickly transformed into Swift Master. A strong wind wrapped around him, allowing him to straighten his body, and he landed on the ground lightly like a feather.

Creak.

The sound of footsteps sounded in this quiet place.

Akira looked up at the already blurry cliffs, and a strong sense of accomplishment and satisfaction filled him.

He sighed, "Falling from a high altitude is such a refreshing experience. I will definitely try it if I have the chance in the future."

Looking around, he saw that there were many corals growing around the stream.

Akira remembered that this kind of coral was quite valuable. There were pearls inside. One bag was worth about 3 million Valis. If you were good at bargaining, you could get 3.5 million Valis.

So Akira transformed himself into a storm and plundered these corals, cutting open their trunks instead of digging out the entire coral, after all, these corals can regenerate.

Then, he put the two bags of looted corals into [Backpack].

"Come to think of it, am I the only one of my familia who's been adventuring lately? Although I get subsidies from the guild for patrolling in Orario, that little bit of money doesn't seem to be much. When I think about it this way, I'm the one supporting everyone." Akira thought to himself.

After all, every time Akira returned from an adventure, he would give the dropped materials and other items to Lyra, the most cunning member of the familia, to sell.

The cave leading to the 26th floor was already in sight. Akira planned to explore it for a bit before leaving and returning to the surface.

At this moment, a 1.6 meter tall fish-shaped monster suddenly jumped out of the stream behind Akira and pounced on Akira, trying to bite his head with its mouth full of sharp teeth.

An Ice Sword instantly formed in Akira's hand. He twisted his body, and at the moment the monster attacked, the sword cut its body from bottom to top smoothly, cutting it in half.

But it was not over yet, a group of huge crabs walking in a straight line crawled out of the cave.

Blue Crab, a crab monster classified as a metal monster. One of its claws is abnormally developed, which makes it a threat in battle.

The blue crab raised its claws to block Akira's Ice Sword. At the same time, the other blue crabs beside it raised their scissor-like claws and cut towards Akira, forcing Akira to jump back a few steps.

Looking at the Ice Sword in his hand and the metal shell of the blue crab, he went into thought. Although he could defeat it with the sword, it would undoubtedly waste too much time.

Akira casually dispersed the Ice Sword and transformed into Blood Mage.

Scarlet blood flowed out of his hands. Akira swung his hands violently, and the blood hit the blue crabs like a steel whip, easily cutting their bodies and creating several deep cracks in the cave.

Picking up the magic stone and the crab shell, Akira continued to go deeper and came to a wide place with a stream flowing beside. Two blue spherical monsters suddenly jumped out of the water.

The body was covered with sharp thorns. No eyes were seen in their body, but they seemed to be able to sense Akira. They spun at high speed and attacked Akira.

He could vaguely see their disgusting round mouths full of sharp fangs. The needles destroyed the surrounding environment as they rolled.

Facing the Crystaroth urchins that were rolling over one after another, Akira raised his hand and aimed at them. Blood condensed in his palm.

With a "hiss" sound, a blood-colored spear pierced through two Crystaroth urchins.

Not long after, a large group of blue crabs that were walking in a straight line heard the noise and quickly rushed over.

Akira controlled the blood that leaked out after the monsters died and cast a move on the group of blue crabs.

Blood mist filled the area around the monsters, transforming into blood-red spears that pierced through the bodies of the blue crabs sharply, leaving them suspended in mid-air.

Then, he used a knife to take the materials after the monsters fell down.

After a while, he saw a cave with a small waterfall. When Akira walked in, before he could react, something like a crimson steel needle scratched his arm, hit the wall behind him and exploded into a ball of blood mist.

As soon as Akira looked up, he saw steel needles coming at him at high speed. He could only quickly transform into a ball of blood mist and teleport away.

At this moment, Kaguya's teachings came to his mind, the information about this monster.

Iguazu, a crimson swallow monster. It's called an invisible monster because of its amazing speed, which makes it the fastest momster in the lower floors, but because it is too fast, it dies on impact.
