"What? Riveria, are you saying this earthquake was caused by magic?"

The blond boy standing in front of Riveria took a deep breath. Despite his youthful appearance, he wasn't truly a boy—he was a prum, a diminutive humanoid race. His identity? None other than Finn Deimne, the leader of the Loki Familia and a Level 6 adventurer known as the Brave!

Standing beside him was a towering man, another Level 6 adventurer from the same Familia: Gareth Landrock. Known for his stalwart presence, Gareth was one of the key figures in the Familia. Alongside Finn and Riveria, the trio were renowned as the "Big Three" of the Loki Familia.

At this moment, they were leading the Loki Familia on a dungeon expedition, but this sudden earthquake caught everyone off guard.

Outside the tent, tension filled the air.

"What's happening? Is this an earthquake?"

"You're kidding, right? We're in the dungeon! How can there be an earthquake here?"

The voices of two Amazonian sisters, both Level 5 adventurers, echoed through the chaos. Not far from them, a Level 5 werewolf, Bete Loga, stood on high alert. His beastly instincts told him that this wasn't an ordinary tremor.

"What's going on?"

Amidst the confusion, a stunning young woman with long golden hair appeared. Water droplets still clung to her hair, hinting that she had just finished bathing. She exuded an air of purity and elegance, a stark contrast to the chaos around her.

Ais Wallenstein, a Level 5 adventurer with the title "Sword Princess," was renowned as the strongest female swordsman in Orario. However, at the moment, she seemed more puzzled than alarmed, clearly unprepared for the situation.

"Ais!"

As soon as Ais appeared, Tiona Hiryute—a lively Amazonian adventurer—threw herself into her arms, rubbing her face affectionately against Ais's. The gesture revealed the close bond between the two.

"Were you scared by the earthquake, Ais? Don't worry! Even if the ground shakes, I'll protect you!"

Ais didn't respond, her naturally calm demeanor making her seem detached from the chaos.

At that moment, the Big Three emerged from the tent. Finn, wielding his spear, addressed the Familia with commanding authority.

"This isn't an ordinary earthquake. Everyone, prepare yourselves! A major battle might be imminent."

His words immediately steadied the panicked adventurers. Among them, Tione Hiryute, Tiona's older sister and an avid admirer of Finn, rushed over, her eyes sparkling with admiration.

"Captain, do you know what's going on?"

Though accustomed to Tione's enthusiastic displays, Finn remained focused. "Riveria has informed me that this isn't a natural phenomenon. This earthquake was caused by a terrifyingly powerful magic spell. Do you understand what that means?"

Magic?!

The entire Familia froze. The idea that such an immense disturbance could be caused by magic was almost unthinkable.

"We have Riveria, the strongest mage in Orario, with us," someone murmured. "If she didn't do this, then who could?"

"Magic? That powerful?" Lefiya Viridis, a Level 3 elf mage, found the notion hard to believe. "Even Level 6 magic isn't that strong. Are you saying there's a Level 7 mage?"

Tione shook her head in disbelief. "A Level 7 mage appearing in the dungeon? That's impossible!"

"Indeed, it's impossible," Riveria interjected.

Tione's relief was short-lived. Riveria continued, her expression grave. "I'm saying even a Level 7 mage couldn't achieve this. If this was the work of a single person, their strength would need to surpass that. At least… Level 8."

The gathered adventurers were stunned.

"Impossible! A Level 8 in Orario? That's absurd!"

"It must be the work of a group from another Familia!"

"Yes, there's no way a Level 8 could exist!"

Their disbelief was understandable. After all, no one in Orario had ever reached such heights.

Unbeknownst to them, their assumptions were still far from the truth. The one responsible for this upheaval wasn't merely Level 8—he was beyond their wildest imaginations.
