Emiya Shirou doesn't want to work overtime

"The first group is also responsible for taking care of the floor owner who spawns on the 18th floor."

"After we gathered on the 18th safe level, we took a short rest and then headed straight for the 50th level!"

Although the underground city looks like a large circular pit when viewed from above.

However, its overall layout is not in the form of a cylinder.

The lower the level, the larger the space it occupies.

The first few floors are almost entirely designed as underground passageways, with only enough space for three people to walk side by side at most.

On the 18th floor, there is already a height difference of forty to fifty meters between the ground and the ceiling.

On the 37th floor, there is an arena with a six-layer structure where monsters can be spawned endlessly.

However, for Shirou Emiya, what he experienced was not much different from what happened in the arena.

Therefore, in order to ensure smooth passage, it is necessary to allocate personnel before reaching the 18th floor.

"Our goal in this expedition has always been the same: to surpass Zeus and Hera and reach the floor they never reached—the 59th floor."

Finn pointed to the ground, and at that moment, he uttered his bold words.

Whenever I hear such words, I am deeply moved.

Finn never hid his ambition.

He wanted to challenge the unexplored territories left behind by Zeus and Hera through an expedition.

If they can overcome this goal, their names will once again be renowned throughout the world and reach the ears of their fellow Dwarfs, all for the sake of their race's revival.

This is also why Tiony liked Finn so much.

When this goal is achieved, not only will Loki's family become famous, but all those who participated in the expedition will also feel incredibly proud.

This is the highest honor.

Every adventurer with a dream looks forward to this moment.

"This is a battle of blood and tears! A battle where you risk your life!"

"But I hope everyone remembers that only by returning alive can one enjoy this glory! Only then can one hold this glory in one's hands!"

Dungeons are cruel; they are always associated with cruelty, no matter when they are mentioned.

It shows no mercy to any adventurer, and its sole purpose from beginning to end is to kill them.

Finn did not want them to lower their guard against the dungeons in order to gain this honor.

"This is a trial!"

"A trial facing us all, tell me loudly, can you, who have been blessed by the gods, overcome this trial!"

Does this need to be said?

Isn't this the moment we've been waiting for to participate in the expedition?

So that I can hold this honor in my own hands!

"able--!"

Accompanied by shouts that echoed throughout Orario, the Loki Expedition began its march toward the dungeon.

"The expedition appears to have begun—"

With these muttered words, Hermes, hidden in the alley, gradually blurred in the air and finally disappeared from the spot.

Chapter 472 The Power of Teamwork

Emiya Shirou finally understood why he almost never saw the floor owner.

Basically, the clansmen who participate in the expedition will take care of the floor owner as well.

Loki's Familia is not the only one in Orario that undertakes expeditions.

However, as the most powerful familia in all of Orario, the Loki Familia's goals differ from those of the larger familias.

They want to surpass the legends of the past and become the new legends.

This is why the largest number of people want to join the Loki Familia's expeditionary force.

As the strongest clan, they decided from the very beginning to rush directly to the 50th floor, the safest level, and then slowly advance to deeper levels.

In the dungeon, there is more than just the 18th floor as a safe layer.

It's simply because the 18th floor is less dangerous and easier to transport supplies compared to deeper areas.

Therefore, the only place with a base of operations is on the 18th floor.

Shirou Emiya has only ever reached two safe zones.

As for the third safety layer, it is the 39th layer, while Shirou Emiya had only reached the 38th layer when Ryu was in the party that time.

Therefore, he has never seen what the 39th floor security layer looks like.

After all, Shirou Emiya rarely had a chance to rest in the safe zone, which is why the three-person team of Shirou Emiya, Ryu, and Lily was able to break into the 38th floor at that time.

Otherwise, the battle would be almost non-stop until the 38th floor, which even an iron man couldn't withstand.

Shirou Emiya might be able to withstand it, but Ryu and Lily definitely wouldn't be able to.

The team consisting of Shirou Emiya, Ryu, and Lily alone is able to travel from the first floor to the 38th floor in a single day, and then return to Orario.

For the Loki Familia, who originally planned to stay in the dungeon for a few days, it would be better to reduce the time spent on the journey and reach the 50th floor as quickly as possible.

That way, the food and water brought with them can last longer.

Having consumed a day's worth of food before even exploring 50 floors, they lost two days' worth of opportunities to venture into deeper levels.

After all, even if they were resting on the 39th floor, they couldn't possibly go down to explore immediately after reaching the 50th floor.

They will need to rest before setting off on the third day.

Of course, Finn originally did not intend to rush straight to the 50th floor.

With Shirou Emiya joining the team, exploring the dungeon will become more difficult.

Therefore, it is natural to pay more attention to the safety of the expedition team.

Just a few days ago, Shirou Emiya demonstrated what it means to vanish in Finn.

A spiraling sword arrow flew out, and in the blink of an eye, a large number of monsters turned to ashes and disappeared into the air.

In fact, Riveria's magic is also capable of achieving this level, eliminating all monsters at once.

However, it requires a long chanting time and can only be released a few times.

While Shirou Emiya's addition increases the difficulty, it also brings them more convenience.

After a brief conversation, Finn decided that during the second phase of their journey to the 50th floor, Shirou Emiya and Riveria would eliminate a large number of monsters without regard for magic power, and quickly reach the 50th floor to rest.

Because magic can be restored, the Loki Familia itself has the strength to reach the 50th floor.

Even if Shirou Emiya and Rivera run out of mana before the 50th floor, Finn can confidently guarantee the safety of the entire expedition team.

Even if the number of monsters had increased several times, Finn was still confident.

If you reach the 50th floor on the first day, you can explore deeper floors on the second day.

Inside the safe zone, there's basically no need to worry about monster attacks, and Shirou Emiya and Rivera are able to replenish their magical energy.

As the man that Tiona described as giving her the most sense of security, Shirou Emiya was assigned to the first group.

Although Goliath is only LV4, unexpected things can happen. Although there are other LV1 adventurers in the first group, it is clear that Finn has absolute confidence in Shirou Emiya's support capabilities.

If anything unexpected happens, he will definitely be able to react immediately.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

With a heavy tremor, a giant foot, as tall as a tower, slammed into the ground, causing the ground to shake violently and the entire cave to tremble, scattering countless specks of dust.

That was a giant humanoid monster nearly ten meters tall, the floor master named Goliath.

Shirou Emiya had never seen this enormous and imposing monster before.

However, Shirou Emiya is not the protagonist when facing this monster.

Just as Finn said, Shirou Emiya's role is to protect the safety of the entire team and prevent accidents from happening.

"boom!"

The sound of something tearing through the air came at that moment; it was a punch that would emit an extremely terrifying roar.

It swung violently and heavily towards the troops in front.

Accompanied by a terrifying punch from the monster known as Goliath.

The deafening roar transformed into sound waves, violently sweeping in all directions.

The ground sank at that moment.

However, the group of Lv3 and LV4 adventurers paid no attention to the unfortunate man Goliath had hit.

He quickly regained his composure, gripped his weapon tightly, and aimed it at the monster named Goliath.

Battle axe, longsword, bow and arrow, magic.

Various types of attacks surrounded that enormous body in an instant.

Blood, chunks of flesh, and bones exploded continuously as the terrifying attack poured forth.

In just a few seconds, the enormous monster lay lifeless on the ground, turning to ashes and dissipating into the air.

Beneath its waving fist was an adventurer clad in heavy armor, holding a shield, whose face was completely obscured.

It directly attracted the hatred of the monster called Goliath, and at that moment, all the adventurers launched an attack and killed Goliath.

The monster known as the floor master was dealt with in the blink of an eye.

These adventurers are not an army; they lack the same level of discipline and orderliness. Finn has no way of making them obey his orders as meticulously as an army.

In terms of coordination, they naturally followed their own fighting style.

Each of them is a veteran of exploring dungeons. Although they are not top-tier adventurers like Finn and his group, they each have their own unique fighting style.
