Danmachi: Reaper

Riveria and the remaining members of the Loki Familia were in crisis.

Looking at all the arrows and various weapons that melted when they came into contact with the purple liquid..., now they did not know what to do.

The only option left was to use large-scale magic. However, there was one problem: Riveria couldn't cast when she had to lead and coordinate troops at the same time.

Because of this, Riveria refrained from casting her magic, and focused more on securing their salvageable weapons and supplies.

Now, they were on a fairly high hill, and there were many caterpillar monsters writhing towards them, surrounding them from all sides.

Although fleeing to the top of the hill might keep the Monsters from approaching them for a while, but it was also a suicide strategy if they were surrounded by Monsters from all sides.

Now, their only hope was to buy time until the two teams sent to complete the Mission returned.

And it looked like their wish came true ....

"Tempest."

With a familiar voice, a roar of wind resounded and a golden figure they recognized appeared and instantly slashed at the caterpillar Monsters that were in its path.

"Ais-san!"

Many of them rejoiced at the sight of Ais' figure who appeared and began killing the caterpillar Monsters she saw.

With her sword wrapped in wind, Ais lunged and attacked all the caterpillar Monsters she could reach.

Now, Familia's hope had truly come!

They could turn the tide this time!

When Ais fought, she was attacked with many purple liquids that flew towards her. Only, the liquid that could melt swords and steel was dispelled by the wind that enveloped her body-making her immune from the purple liquid that kept coming towards her.

Then, soon they could also see Bete, Tiona and Tione who came out of the forest, and helped in attacking the monsters that had terrorized them earlier.

*****

With his Magic, Kelvin managed to dominate the environment around him, making the terrain a hundred meters away into a minefield with him as the center.

When Kelvin sensed an enemy approaching the minefield he had created earlier, all he had to do was activate the 'minefield', and make the Monsters within the scope of the attack split into two, or cut into pieces instantly.

This scene was of course very shocking. Moreover, the caterpillar monsters that they couldn't defeat suddenly died one by one thanks to Kelvin's attack.

Although they weren't sure, but they guessed that it might be one of Kelvin's powers, and only admired him from afar.

Kelvin was a Level 2 Adventurer who had just leveled up. But his contribution was enormous and he didn't even flinch when faced with the new species on Floor 50.

In fact, with one hand left didn't overwhelm Kelvin at all.

Except ....

"Kuh ...."

Kelvin suddenly held his head, feeling a pain that began to spread, which seemed to be due to prolonged Magic usage.

"Are you alright, Kelvin-san?" Lefiya asked worriedly.

She wanted to go over to Kelvin and give him a healing potion. Only, she felt hesitant to approach Kelvin.

Moreover, she wasn't sure where Kelvin had set up his invisible air mines. And if she made a wrong move, it was possible that she would turn into minced meat right then and there.

It was just that, Lefiya didn't know-it was more like she had forgotten the fact that Kelvin could control his Magic at will.

Thus, even if Lefiya passed through the trap she had set, it would not react if Kelvin did not activate it.

Simply put, this wasn't an automatic trap that would cut down anyone who crossed it. But, it's a manual trap that requires Kelvin to act as the caster.

"Lefiya..., give me the potion!"

Hearing Kelvin's shout, Lefiya wanted to rush towards him. It's just that ....

"U-Um..., is it okay...?" Lefiya asked doubtfully.

"...." Although Kelvin didn't see the expression on Lefiya's face at this time, but he could imagine Lefiya doubting him in his head.

"It's okay. Just come here!"

Due to the excessive use of Magic, Kelvin had entered a condition called Mind Down/Mind Zero.

Even so, this condition could be overcome by drinking a Magic Potion, which would recharge one's mental energy to make them normal.

Hence, Kelvin asked Lefiya to bring him a potion; of course it was to cure the mental fatigue he was experiencing.

Lefiya, although she was still quite hesitant, but she still moved towards Kelvin-slowly but surely, and it took a while for her to approach Kelvin.

And when she handed Kelvin a bottle of potion, Kelvin quickly finished it in one gulp.

"As usual, it tastes really bad!" Kelvin furrowed his forehead in dissatisfaction.

After drinking so many potions, Kelvin would never get used to the extremely unpleasant taste of potions.

Because of this, Kelvin wondered if he could make a potion that had various types of flavors to remove the unpleasant taste, but still had the same efficacy as the original?

Well, that matter can be discussed at a later date, because ....

"Hey, Ais! Give me your wind!"

"...." Ais looked at Bete, and simply nodded as she understood what the Werewolf was about to do.

Her gaze shifted to the boots worn by Bete. It was a boot designed not for protection, but it was a very finely and sharply designed weapon, which was made of durable materials.

"O Wind!"

The airflow began to change at her command. And the yellow crystal embedded in the metallic boots quickly glowed as it absorbed the air into it.

The same fluctuating aura that enveloped Ais also came from Bete's feet.

Flosvirt.

Made by Hephaestus Familia from mithril and ingots with high magic conductivity. It could temporarily absorb magic power to strengthen attacks.

Now, after absorbing Ais's Magic, Bete also got the Power of the Wind.

"Thank you!" The expression on Bete's handsome face began to change into a beastly grin.

*****

On the other side.

"Damn these guys!" Tiona shouted angrily.

A drop of sweat ran down her forehead, staring at the endless stream of caterpillar monsters.

Facing all these Monsters, it wasn't a serious problem for Tiona. It was just that, when she killed one, acidic liquid would spurt out and melt her weapon.

Right now, her Urga had melted. And although she had taken spare weapons from her Family colleagues, they too had suffered the same fate.

Now, the Amazon woman was unarmed. Gritting her teeth, she could only rely on her bare hands to fight at the moment.

And at the same time.

Tione was in an even more troublesome situation.

Her body was suspended in the air; with a tentacle that seemed to be the Monster's tongue wrapped around her body; one around her neck, while the other tied around her body and pulled her in different directions.

She gritted her teeth in frustration. If this continued, she would be the one to die.

That's why ....

"Damn you useless vermin!"

His expression turned to horror as his emotions peaked.

Her face had now changed as if she was a different person.

Now, the Amazon warrior inside her had awakened.

She tightly gripped the tongues wrapped around her body, making them all disintegrate and release acidic liquid that drenched her body.

However, Tione did not care.

When she was freed. Tione jumped onto the caterpillar monster's head, and drove her fist into its body.

*Baamm!

The caterpillar monster's skin broke with a loud explosion sound.

Acidic liquid spurted into the air, soaking Tione's body in the process.

Her skin now turned purple, and her body emitted a lot of smoke from being exposed to the acidic liquid.

The piece of cloth covering her voluptuous chest also melted quickly, and fell straight to the ground.

But, Tione still did not care.

Her eyes blazed with rage as she moved her hands to go deeper into the monster's body. And when she found what she was looking for-

*Snap!

-Tione instantly caught it and pulled her hand out.

The caterpillar Beast's screams and shrieks of pain were shattered as she turned into purple smoke that scattered into the air.

The smoke covering her own body grew thicker by the moment, and Tione did the same to the remaining three caterpillar Monsters around her.

Her own safety and pain were the last things on her mind as she continued to tear at the caterpillar Monsters' skin.

"T-Tione-san ...."

Seeing Tione's condition, Lefiya quickly approached her, intending to help her.

".... Lefiya, is there any potion left?" Tione asked with a tired tone. Her current appearance was not much better than the pile of mud when Lefiya approached her.

The Amazon woman had been exposed to every splash of corrosive liquid directly.

Her normally beautiful black hair was now a mess, pieces missing or dripping down her back.

Her once healthy brownish skin was now purple and black, still bubbling with acid.

The girl's right eye was swollen, so she made eye contact with Lefiya using her remaining left eye.

Lefiya's face was white as a ghost as she hurriedly took a small bottle of elixir from the pouch at her waist, opened it, and doused Tione with all her might.
