Is It Wrong For Me To Start With Three Skills In Danmachi ?!

"[Come, destruction of evil. The burial of wounds, interment of disease.]"

"[Curses be gone in the light of vitality. In the name of all that is holy -]"

"[Dia Fratel!]"

----------------------------------

"[Dia Fratel!]"

A pure white diamond-shaped magic circle unfolded beneath Fron's feet, reaching an astonishing diameter of five meters.

Clearly, in order to quickly restore the Amazoness sisters' combat ability, Fron burned his mind to the fullest at this moment.

The mind, converted into fuel, drove magic beyond its usual level, and with the amplification from the "Scholar" skill, the miraculous healing magic gently enveloped their bodies.

"Cough, cough, cough, damn it, hiss... it hurts like hell, even my guts feel like they're falling out."

Tione's face twisted with both pain and anger as she struggled on the ground, coughing up blood endlessly.

The torn wound in her abdomen spurted blood without stopping, soaking the labyrinth floor, while her long black shawl-like hair was in complete disarray, leaving her body in a miserable state beyond recognition.

Compared to her sister, Tiona had managed to block an attack with her weapon at the very last moment before it landed. Although she was also heavily injured, she was in far better shape than her sister, who was on the verge of death.

Large weapons indeed had their advantages, after all, [Orga] cost 70 million faris more than [Zolas - kukri knives]!

As the holy magical brilliance activated, the sisters' torn wounds were bathed in a gentle glow, visibly healing before their eyes.

Even the bone-deep pain felt like being immersed in a hot spring, a comforting and soothing sensation.

"Are you alright, Tione, Tiona?"

"Don't worry, Ais, we won't die here!"

"And with Fron supporting us from the back, we trust him completely!"

Ais nodded expressionlessly, responding to Tiona with a nasal tone.

"Mm-hmm!"

Their bodies gradually recovered, and they once again stood up, speaking as they charged forward again.

"Thanks, Fron!"

The young man looked speechless and shouted loudly to remind them:

"Be a little more careful, will you? The enemy is still Level 6, don't go getting yourselves shredded again!"

"Hehe, but we have you, don't we? That really makes us feel secure!"

Compared to her younger sister Tiona, who could still laugh out loud, Tione's face twisted in anger.

"You bastard! You dare ruin my clothes like this? How am I supposed to face the captain later? Stop acting so cocky! I'll mash you into meat paste, crush your bones to dust, and make you crawl and die right here!!!!!!!!!"

Tione once again entered her berserk mode, her small knives hacking furiously at the dragon's armor at a speed almost invisible to the naked eye, producing endless metallic "ding ding" sounds.

Useless! Useless?

The female warrior's face, twisted with anger, broke into a hideous and crazed smile, her fierce eyes glaring viciously at the massive enemy.

"Watch me tear you apart alive!"

With a ripping sound, the joint between the scales was cut open.

"ROOOOOOOOOAR!!!"

The pain stimulated the monster's nerves, and it wildly used its powerful body to drive away the three tiny pests.

It shook its dragon head, swung its body, and lashed out with a dragon tail full of killing intent! The whip-like tail strike tore through the air, wreaking havoc within its massive attack range!

"Tch."

Tiona spat out blood and gripped [Orga] tightly, constantly dodging the enemy's frenzied counterattacks.

Facing the enraged Cadmus, Tione, Tiona, and Ais distanced themselves.

"Ais, Tione's berserk again, cover that idiot!"

"Mm."

Even in the heat of battle, Ais's tone remained incredibly calm, her ability to remain level-headed during a fight was unmatched.

"Clang clang clang, "

The wind-wrapped swordswoman moved gracefully, her silver rapier leaving afterimages as she swung it, while the Amazon younger sister wielded her massive weapon with immense power, clashing head-on with the enemy.

And [Jormungand], she was even more frenzied than both of them, fighting with a style that abandoned all defense entirely!

"[Ancestors of the forest, proud brethren.]"

"[Answer my call and come to the plains.]"

"[Connecting bonds, the pledge of paradise.]"

"[Turn the circle and dance around.]"

"[Come, ring of fairies. Please - give me strength.]"

"[Elf Ring!]"

Lefiya's exclusive magic, [Elf Ring], was activated!

Beside Fron, as the girl chanted the spell name, a golden magic circle shattered, turning into a rainbow-like ring that wrapped around her waist.

[Elf Ring], a summoning magic. It allows the activation of limited elf-type magic.

It was precisely because of this magic that Lefiya earned the title [Thousand Elf], for as long as she knew the chants and effects of elf magic, she could activate them freely.

In terms of potential, this girl even surpassed the city's strongest magic caster, Riveria.

Among the familia, she was widely recognized as Riveria's future successor, something that was undeniable!

"[Soon, the flames shall be released.]"

Sure enough, without any delay at all, Lefiya unleashed an advanced magic technique, chanting continuously, and then, an ominous red magic circle switched into place beneath her, gathering an astonishing amount of magic power.

Seeing this, Fron momentarily stopped his healing magic and shouted loudly.

"Everyone, prepare to evade the bombardment!"

The experienced ones didn't look back. Feeling that familiar magical fluctuation and with Fron's warning, Ais and the other two forced back the mighty dragon with all their strength before quickly retreating.

"[Silently advancing flames of war, inevitable destruction.]"

"[The war horn sounds high and clear, surrounding everything with violent turmoil.]"

"[Come forth, crimson lotus flames, merciless blaze, embodiment of karmic fire, sweep away countless armies, and bring an end to great war.]"

"[Burn all to ash, Surtr's Sword, my name is Alf!]"

"[Advanced: Sword of Victory!]"

--!

"BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!"

The crimson karmic flames erupted from the ground, tearing the earth apart, engulfing the ceiling, and burning down the walls.

The mighty dragon's figure was burned by the swirling flames, letting out a deafening, sorrowful roar, but… it was nothing more than futile struggling before death.

"[Soon , the flames shall be released.]"

The same incantation, the same rhythm, the same magic circle, but this time from a different caster.

Ais, Tione, and Tiona turned around in astonishment before the sea of flames, looking at the figure beside Lefiya.

There stood Fron, lips curled into a smile, feet stepping upon the complex red circular magic array, arms outstretched, left hand holding a staff, eyes sharp as he gazed toward the center.

"[The war horn sounds high and clear, surrounding everything with violent turmoil.]"

"[Come forth, crimson lotus flames, merciless blaze, embodiment of karmic fire, sweep away countless armies, and bring an end to great war.]"

"[Burn all to ash, Surtr's Sword, my name is Alf!]"

"[Advanced: Sword of Victory!]"

--!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?

"RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE!"

The cavern could no longer withstand the second blast of the powerful large-scale annihilation magic, collapsing under the intense pressure.

The twin crimson flames formed a pillar of fire, shredding 'Cadmus' apart, leaving it no chance to recover as Fron personally dealt the killing blow.

At that moment, the young man and the Elf stood side by side, their cloaks and robes flapping wildly in the fierce shockwaves, like heroes standing tall before the monster.

"Two… two Riverias?"

Tiona dumbfoundedly opened her mouth, saying something utterly ridiculous.

"What are you talking about, really now."

"Amazing, Fron and Lefiya."

"Yeah… but with the chamber destroyed like this, I hope the spring isn't damaged."

They all stared at the blazing sea of fire before them, silent for a long time.

Only after the intense heat and flames completely dissipated, and there was no sign of the mighty dragon's figure, did they all finally exhale.

"That was way too dangerous, facing something like that head-on."

"After all, it's an Lv.6 monster. Without the captain and others, it's still too much for us."

"Even if we win, it would be a pyrrhic victory, leaving us unable to continue the mission afterward."

"Having Fron here is really great!"

Tiona said, then happily skipped over to the two rearguards, giggling.

"Nice work, Lefiya!"

"T-Tione, th-this is what I should be doing, and also… thank you, Mr. Fron. If not for your encouragement…"

Fron put away his staff, exhaled, and then smiled in response.

"Congratulations, Lefiya. You've grown, and I'm happy for you. But you forgot again, didn't you? Don't call me Mr."

"G-Grown…? That's not…"

Lefiya's cheeks turned red as she fidgeted shyly, her ears twitching nervously.

'Ah, she's back to being like this again.'

'It's still Lefiya after all.'

'A shy Elf girl, huh? That character trait is kind of cute too.'

Tione, Tiona, and Fron all muttered inwardly, smiling as they looked at the protagonist.

Beside them, the swordswoman put away her rapier and slowly walked over, her golden eyes looking at Lefiya, without saying a word.

She simply… reached out and patted Lefiya on the head.

Ultimate Technique: Invincible Head Pat.

"Wha-wha-wha-wha-wha-wha-wha?! A-A-Ais… you actually patted my head!!!"

This instantly made Lefiya blush to the extreme, her eyes spinning in circles, thoughts in chaos.

"Hey, you're making her cry now, you know."

"I didn't…"

"But she's already crying."

Everyone: "..."

Fron smiled wryly; this kid was far too shy. Just a head pat and her eyes start spinning? Then again, she was still only fourteen.

At fourteen, she was already a qualified mage, battling monsters on the frontlines of dungeon exploration, while most kids her age were still doing homework.

Compared to that, who could still call Lefiya weak or immature? Don't joke around, she's ridiculously strong.

"Alright everyone, let's collect the spring water we were commissioned for and then return to camp. As for injuries and such, we'll deal with them later."

Fron agreed with Tione's suggestion, because he had an ominous feeling.

Those corrupted Virga, the new species… had likely already surrounded them, probably because his presence sped up the team's advance, allowing the Cadmus to live a little longer.

While filling up the special crystal bottle with 'Cadmus Springwater', Fron thought quietly…
