A party of adventurers composed of a single race is not actually very safe.
If a team can have elves, demi-humans, and humans, they can actually complement each other better.
After all, each race has its own strengths, and being able to coordinate perfectly in battle is extremely important.
If everyone were human, they might be helpless when encountering a certain monster!
But Shiraishikawa has absolutely no need to worry about this.
The Chosen Ones' kin are all protagonists from various worlds.
Moreover, even though they are all human, humans from different worlds do not have the same shortcomings as humans from the DanMachi world.
"~Commander Shiraishikawa, it's a pleasure to meet you."
"me too."
The three group leaders greeted each other.
Behind each of the two opponents were dozens of their own elite soldiers.
In addition to the adventurers, there were also dozens of supporters.
They outnumbered the Hestia Familia, led by Shiraishikawa, by more combatants who were chosen by the God of Pleasure.
Is this all there is to you?
"It's not that we're underestimating this joint operation, but we genuinely lack the manpower."
Even the regimental commander, Shiraishi Kawa, arrived at the last minute.
The dungeon repelled the gods, so the gods did not attend.
But at this moment, they must already be in the Tower of Babel, keeping track of the team's latest developments.
Although this is a joint operation, every member wants their own familia to be stronger than the others.
Chapter 181: Is Ais being targeted? The Chosen Ones Show Their Skills!
Although it is nominally a joint strategy.
But in reality, it's closer to a competition of conquest.
Each level of the dungeon has only one entrance/exit leading to the next level, but the routes are interconnected.
The number and variety of monsters are countless.
It is more than enough for several adventurer teams to split up and advance.
The Loki Familia and the Freya Familia have been rivals for many years.
This joint operation also naturally had the intention of testing the strength of the Hestia Familia.
While backstabbing and infighting are not worthwhile, the idea of direct competition is quite prevalent among the members.
Let's not even talk about wanting to bring glory to one's own clan.
Some male members of the clan always want to assert their presence in front of beautiful girls.
Unfortunately, they were absolutely unable to succeed.
Because in the eyes of the chosen ones of pleasure, there has only ever been one sun: Shiraishikawa!
They have resolved to dedicate everything to this god.
Therefore, they paid more attention to the female members of Freya and Loki's two major clans.
This wasn't out of defensiveness, but rather a desire to win over more potential chosen members.
The girls had already agreed that their primary target was Ais Wallenstein.
At this moment, Ais was unaware that she had been targeted as "prey".
"So, Commander Shiraishi, would you consider our proposal?"
"You mean we act collectively before the tenth floor, and after the tenth floor we see who's the fastest?"
"That's right, then we'll gather on the 16th floor and jointly take down the floor master of the 17th floor."
Finn and O'Brien will make it clear that they want to hear Shiraishikawa's opinion.
If Shiraishikawa objects, they won't force him; joint action is not out of the question.
They also wanted to witness firsthand the true combat prowess of this mysterious leader and find out just how powerful he was.
It's more accurate to say that they believe Shiraishi Kawa, with such a small group of people, would most likely reject the idea.
"Alright, I agree. Let's set off now."
"Oh?"
O'Neal didn't say anything, but Finn raised an eyebrow and smiled slightly.
"Then let's go!"
Before departing, the members of the family all looked up at the Tower of Babel.
The enormous Tower of Babel pierces the sky.
Although the gods within the giant tower could not be seen, the people's reverence for them remained undiminished.
Soon the three clans entered the dungeon and began to explore deeper and deeper.
The underground city is perpetually shrouded in darkness, with only faint fluorescent substances illuminating the way.
The caves leading in all directions can easily make one lose their way.
However, the first few floors were relatively small, and the three major clans, with a little over a hundred people, almost filled the entire area as soon as they entered.
But the entire underground city is structured like a pyramid.
The deeper you go, the larger the area of the underground city becomes.
Even after reaching ten or twenty stories, the area is large enough to build a small village.
However, let alone the first ten floors, even the first fifteen floors couldn't stop so many adventurers.
The three major clans are comprised of the elite of Orario's best.
Any one of them could be a main force or even a guild leader in a small clan!
Various monsters continuously spawn on the walls and in the strata of the dungeon.
Although not highly intelligent, it seems to have a specific goal in mind, hindering the adventurers' progress.
But soon the monsters were cleared away layer by layer, and the speed of the three clans could not be slowed down at all.
Although the Hestia Familia had few members, they did not give up any of their limelight.
"Neutron Impact—!"
Asuna unleashed a five-hit combo of sword thrusts this time.
Several streaks of silver light flashed, and the girl's beautiful figure and the sword's gleam were incomparably gorgeous, like starlight.
But what followed was immense destructive power, annihilating all the monsters on the other side.
The whole process was clean and efficient, and her dashing and heroic demeanor was eye-catching.
At this time, Asuna, with her title of "Flash," and Esther Wallenstein were hailed as the two great sword maidens of Orario.
Many people are even looking forward to their final battle.
"Spit out... collect..."
"Insect Breathing - Butterfly Dance!"
Shinobu Kocho adjusted her breathing rhythm and gracefully wielded the "Holy Sword".
Her figure seemed to transform into a light butterfly, her feathers fluttering as she moved, adding to her agility.
In just a moment, several monsters were annihilated.
The holy sword represents the spirit of its user, therefore its appearance and function will vary from person to person.
Shinobu Kocho's holy sword still resembles a Nichirin Blade, and she uses the Insect Breathing technique that she herself has mastered.
Moreover, the power of the Holy Sword completely compensated for her shortcomings of being agile but lacking in strength.
It has become possible to defeat the enemy head-on like this.
boom!
Streaks of red sword light shot out, burning the monsters.
Stella's Dragon Sin Sword can unleash explosive damage over a wide area.
Yes, it was an explosion in the literal sense.
Although she had just become a chosen one and a member of the Familia, Stella was a genius and a "numerical monster"!
Saeko Busujima, Rika Minami, and Lian Vivitet each used their signature moves.
Despite their small numbers, they did not fall behind in killing enemies.
This resulted in Lily, the only support member in the team, getting so many loot that her hands were sore from picking them up.
Chapter 182: Slaying the Minotaur! The Hero in Fiora's Heart
Roar!
As the ground trembled, several minotaur-like monsters charged straight at them.
The three clans have ventured deeper and deeper, and have now reached the ninth level.
Even so, this area is still within the upper level of the underground city.
Normally, a monster of the Minotaur's caliber would never appear.
Although high-level monsters occasionally descend to lower levels, the Minotaur that appeared this time had crossed far too many levels.
Shiraishikawa could tell at a glance that it was definitely something the dungeon did on purpose!
The dungeon can continuously produce monsters, like a living nest.
