DanMachi: Unlimited Blade Works

After a day of rest, the Loki Familia executives quickly recovered their combat strength. At the same time, Riveria, one of the Loki Familia's "Big Three," had also returned to her original state, possessing the combat capability to continue exploring the Dungeon. In the evening, after dinner, Finn looked at the Familia members gathered around the bonfire and began his pre-battle deployment.

"Tomorrow's exploration will proceed according to the original plan: a small group of elite members and some powerful supporters will team up to go to the 51st Floor, while the remaining people will defend the camp with the Hephaestus Familia."

From the 51st Floor onwards, even supporters needed to possess a minimum level of ability. The larger the squad, the more time-consuming and arduous it was to command. Therefore, whenever they went to areas beyond the 51st Floor, the Loki Familia always distributed themselves in this manner.

"The specific personnel are me, Riveria, Gareth, Ais, Tiona, Tione, Bete, and Shirou." Finn surveyed the surroundings, his gaze constantly sweeping over the various executives, finally resting on Shirou. "How about it, Shirou? Before we reach the 59th Floor, can you reach LV.5?"

"Don't worry, I should be able to level up before the 58th Floor." Hearing Shirou's affirmative answer, Finn nodded with satisfaction. Shirou's attack pattern was extremely well-suited for this kind of long-distance Dungeon exploration. Every bit of strength he gained provided a good boost to their entire team. This was also why he placed Shirou, who was only LV.4, in the combat lineup.

"As for supporters, we have Raul, Nave, Alicia, Kaus, and Lefiya." The five participants in this expedition as supporters were all LV.4 adventurers. Perhaps each of them was a well-known figure in Orario, but in this expedition, they could only serve as supporters. After all, they weren't like Shirou, who possessed combat capabilities that easily surpassed his level.

"For those remaining at the camp, if those new type monsters appear, deal with them from a distance using magic swords and magic."

"The guards must be vigilant and not let monsters get close. Angie, command is entrusted to you!"

"Yes!"

Afterward, Finn gradually conveyed the precautions for defense, methods for dealing with corrosive fluid larva-type monsters, and the camp commanders to everyone. Replacing Raul, who would accompany them as a supporter, a cat-person female member was appointed as the squad leader. She stood up and accepted the task.

"At the same time, I hope Tsubaki will also join us as a weapon technician."

"Mm, no problem." Hearing Finn's arrangement, Tsubaki not only showed no resistance but seemed eager to try. After all, she wasn't just an ordinary blacksmith; as Orario's number one blacksmith, she was a LV.5 adventurer. To test her weapons, she often explored the Dungeon herself. Therefore, Tsubaki was extremely interested in the deep regions, which were rich in high-grade materials.

Not long after, when all matters had been communicated, Tsubaki, who had been sitting cross-legged on the ground, stood up and said loudly, "Since that's the case, let's distribute what needs to be given!" Hearing her words, the other blacksmiths from the Hephaestus Familia brought out weapons wrapped in white cloth from a side package. Except for Ais, Riveria, and Shirou, each of the other Level 1 adventurers received one, a total of five weapons.

"These are the items you ordered, weapons with the Indestructible attribute."

"Oh, are these the Roland series you mentioned, Master Tsubaki?" Looking at the five weapons Tsubaki produced, Shirou casually snatched one of the twin swords from Bete's hand to examine it. "The Indestructible attribute, huh!"

Under Bete's murderous gaze, Shirou couldn't help but sigh. Shirou's Projection Magic couldn't project weapons with the Indestructible attribute. Even if Shirou's projected weapons were mimicked perfectly, they were essentially items made of magic. Even if Shirou's Projection Magic continued to strengthen as his level increased in the future, this essence would not change. Even if the projected armaments he created in the future surpassed the originals in performance, they would still be magic constructs and would still be damaged. Unless one day, his Projection Magic could reach the level of Conceptual Materialization, only then could he truly create weapons with the Indestructible attribute.

Of course, the Indestructible weapons he projected were not without any advantages. Although they would break, their hardness and abnormal resistance were very high. Previously, when facing new types of monsters, Finn's sword, while wielding Shirou's projected Sword of Despair, was not immediately melted.

Among the main combat personnel for this mission, Ais already possessed an Indestructible weapon, and Riveria was a spellcaster, so she didn't need a weapon. As for Shirou? If a weapon broke, it broke; he could just project another one. Therefore, among the eight of them, only these five needed Indestructible weapons. Among them, Finn's weapon was a spear, Gareth's weapon was a great axe, Bete's weapons were twin swords, Tiona's weapon was a greatsword, and Tione's weapon was a poleaxe.

Feeling the strength of the weapon in his hand, Finn was extremely satisfied. "As expected of Orario's number one blacksmith!" After a moment of admiration, Finn spoke while the other Level 1 adventurers were excited about their new weapons, "For tomorrow, let's disband now. Guards will rotate every four hours."

"Yes!" At this command, the Familia members began to disperse. Watching Ais leave and Tsubaki follow her, Shirou glanced at them and then returned to his tent. As for comforting them, since so many experienced veterans had gone, he might as well go back and rest.

"Pair of 3s!" "Pair of Queens!" "Pair of 2s!" "Can't beat that!"

Currently, in Shirou's tent, Shirou was playing cards with his Familia companions. As frequent residents of the 50th Floor, everyone here was experienced in passing time. But now, even those playing cards weren't entirely focused. Because on one side of the tent, Raul was sitting in a corner chair, his legs shaking.

"Hey, Raul, pull yourself together!"

"An... Angie..." The cat-person female member who was checking her weapons nearby looked helpless. Even though she was somewhat used to Raul's cowardly behavior, she couldn't stand it now. "It's not your first time going deep into the 51st Floor. Haven't you always come back alive? Have some confidence!" Hearing the black cat female's harsh tone, yet still encouraging him, Raul was momentarily speechless.

"How embarrassing!" Anakitty Autumn. Like Raul, she was a LV.4 Level 2 adventurer. Because her name was difficult to pronounce, those close to her called her Angie. As a female adventurer brought in by Loki, Angie naturally possessed a beautiful face and a good figure. As a Level 2 adventurer trusted by Finn, she always took command in the absence of the Level 1 adventurers.

"Wuwu, but I almost got killed by those new type monsters last time. This time, I might really die."

"Angie, if I don't come back, I hope you can help me send the money in my room to my hometown."

"Seriously, you're at it again!" As a close friend and a core member of the second unit, Angie, of course, knew Raul's old habit. This guy really had no confidence.

Hearing their conversation, Lyne, a girl listening nearby, timidly raised her hand and asked, "Are the floors below the 51st Floor really that dangerous?" Hearing Lyne's question, everyone suddenly turned their gaze to Shirou. After all, compared to Raul, Shirou was part of the combat lineup.

"Don't look at me, I'm a rookie too!" Shirou helplessly spread his hands and also comforted Raul, "Raul, believe in yourself, you will definitely come back alive."

"But..."

"No 'buts'! Even if you don't believe in yourself, you have to believe in the Captain! The Captain will definitely bring you back. Do you, Raul, not even trust the Captain?"

"Trust the Captain!" Raul paused, recalling Finn, then immediately shouted loudly, "I will always trust the Captain!"

"That's right, just like that!" Looking at the strengthened Raul, Shirou couldn't help but smile. As expected of you, Finn!
