The Fukaros Familia, starting from DanMachi.

Chapter 165 Floor Owner Extermination Team

"This kind of combat—my first time experiencing it—was so smooth."

Daphne stared at the Sea Demon, whose neck she had pierced with her sword, now gushing blood and turning into magic stones as it vanished. She was still in the same state of mind she had just experienced during the battle, a state that felt like a sublimation.

In the shared spiritual perception of the robin, every breath and every muscle twitch of the sea monster was clearly visible.

Her ability to predict the next move from this godlike perspective greatly enhances her combat effectiveness.

In the past, when she encountered such a sea monster alone, even if she could win, it would always be a tough and fierce battle.

But this time, even when facing an attack from several sea monsters, she handled it with ease and eventually found an opportunity to kill them one by one.

She finally understood why the robin was the deputy leader.

Besides the overpowered group experience buff skill, this command-type skill is also exceptional.

It's hard to imagine that one person could possess so many outrageous and foul-breaking abilities at the same time.

Daphne was incredibly grateful to have joined the Fucarus Familia; she felt it was the best decision she had ever made in her life.

Cassandra is the same.

She only used [Thor's Light] once throughout the entire process to heal Daphne, who had been accidentally grazed by the blade's wind.

With the "God's-eye view," she no longer had to worry about being ambushed by monsters, and Joan of Arc firmly protected their entire rear guard, ensuring that no monster could cross the battle flag fluttering in the wind in her hand.

A hellhound charged out from the side, spewing out a huge fireball that hurtled straight towards the back row.

Joan of Arc simply turned slightly to the side, letting the fireball, powerful enough to melt steel, blast her down.

After the violent explosion, only a faint black mark remained on the silver-white armor, without even a dent, and Joan of Arc herself remained completely still.

The terrifying, almost outrageous, magical resistance terrified Daphne and Cassandra.

And Tifa truly lives up to the name "Starlight".

Once she activates the additional magic [Meteor Feather], her movements become like shooting stars in the night sky, so fast that only afterimages like streaks of starlight can be seen.

Along the way, most of the monsters were dealt with by Tifa's clean and efficient punches and kicks, while Daphne only killed a few.

Fenyu transformed into a mobile artillery platform, leisurely following behind the group. Every now and then, he would raise his hand and point, unleashing an invisible yet incredibly fast and destructive sonic cannon that accurately blasted away Hilichurl Shamans on distant high platforms, or ranged monsters like Archer Hilichurls and Witcherflowers hiding in corners preparing to ambush.

They traveled smoothly and encountered almost no trouble before reaching the sixteenth floor.

Here, they encountered a formidable foe that had once given Fenyu a hard time—a high-ranking ninja assassin.

But this time, Fenyu, who had already reached Lv.3, was much more at ease when facing it.

With pure all-attribute suppression, the opponent's proud speed and swordsmanship became a joke in front of him. In just a few rounds of fighting, Fen Yu killed him with a single sword strike.

Even Tifa is now capable of taking on a high-level ninja warrior single-handedly.

Of course, this is on the premise that her additional magic is activated.

The power of enchanted magic is self-evident; it can significantly enhance all of the user's attributes.

Ais's [Wind Spirit Swiftness] grants her ultimate speed, Fenyu's [Eternal Flame] brings unparalleled destructive power, and Tifa's [Meteor Feather], although it has no attribute, is precisely because of this that its amplification is more pure and more comprehensive—speed, strength, and defense are all simultaneously enhanced.

"Next up is the seventeenth floor, everyone be careful. I don't know if the floor owner has refreshed it yet."

Standing at the entrance to the spiral staircase leading to the seventeenth floor, Fen Yu turned back and gave a word of advice.

The seventeenth floor is the biggest hurdle that must be overcome before entering the eighteenth safe zone.

Daphne and Cassandra were both adventurers who had ventured into deeper levels with the Apollo Familia, and in terms of experience, they were even more experienced than Fenyu and the others.

"Captain," Daphne calmly analyzed, "the seventeenth floor's master, the Goliath Giant, has a potential ability value of Lv.4. With our team's current strength, defeating it head-on shouldn't be a problem. The only thing we need to be careful about is getting hit directly by the giant; its power is no joke."

Of course, all of this is on the premise that the Goliath has already spawned and has not been defeated by other adventurers.

Fen Yu nodded.

Was he worried about Goliath? No, he was really worried about his own skills.

He had a strong premonition that his skill, [The Abyss of the Gaze], would definitely give him a big "surprise" on this special floor.

Fen Yu took a deep breath and led the way down, with the others following closely behind, stepping into the seventeenth floor.

But the next moment, a noisy sound entered my ears.

That was not the roar of a monster, nor the wrath of Goliath.

In this vast space, hundreds of meters wide and deep, what comes into view are a large number of fully armed adventurers.

They stood in groups of three or five in different locations.

"What's going on here?"

Upon exiting the passage and seeing the scene before them, both Burning Feather and Robin were stunned.

"These are the adventurers from Rivera Town. They actually chose today to fight the floor master."

Compared to the astonishment of Fenyu and the others, Daphne quickly recovered and immediately explained, "The floor master Goliath is reborn every two weeks, often hindering high-level adventurers from reaching the 18th floor. When this vital passage to the safe floor is blocked, it means the income of the townspeople of Rivera, who rely on extortion, will also be affected. Therefore, those scoundrels who run inns in the labyrinth town will unite and periodically form groups to subdue Goliath who blocks the passage."

"Simply put," Daphne concluded, "it's like a regular deep cleaning, except the target of the cleaning is the floor manager."

Clearly, those gathered here are Rivera adventurers who have come together to eliminate the floor master.

"Hey, isn't that Xin Yan from the [Fukaros Familia] and the War Goddess? My goodness, you've already reached the seventeenth floor so quickly, you guys are something else."

Just then, some of the adventurers gathered there spotted the arrival of Fenyu and his group.

After a brief discussion and observation, they quickly recognized these rising stars who had shone brightly in the war game.

A burly human man with a black eyepatch over his left eye and a physique as robust as a brown bear strode through the crowd.

With each step he took, his armor made a dull thud.

"This guy is Bos Elder, the actual person in charge of Rivera Town, a Level 3 Level 2 adventurer. It seems that he was the one who organized this raid on the floor boss."

Daphne whispered the introduction in Fenyu's ear.

"The Laurel Runaways" and "Pessimists"

Perth's gruff gaze swept over Daphne and Cassandra, and he grinned, revealing a malicious smile. "So you've joined the Fucaros Familia? How enviable! But speaking of which, wasn't your previous familia destroyed by the Fucaros Familia themselves? Is that really appropriate? Hahaha."

"Shut up, this is none of your business."

Daphne snorted and retorted without any politeness.

Cassandra instinctively shrank behind Daphne.

Perth didn't care; he was really interested in the other two.

He turned his gaze to Burning Feather and Robin, his tone becoming much more fervent: "How about it? Let's join forces to defeat the floor master, Flame Blade! Let's also share in the glory of the 'Warrior Saintess'! A portion of the spoils can be yours."

Before Fen Yu could answer, the crowd of adventurers behind him had already erupted in chaos.

"Oh, it's the Saintess of War! Really? She's the one who possesses that legendary skill that accelerates growth?"

"The Saintess of War? It's her! Is that skill really as miraculous as the legends say? I can forgo the loot, but I want to know, does that skill really increase one's stats faster?"

"One of the adventurers shouted, clearly doubting the authenticity of the robin's abilities."

"Idiot, that's a skill personally certified by the gods, how could it be fake? Quickly apologize to Saintess War Law, you fool."

The person next to him immediately slapped him on the back of the head.

"Saintess of War, we love you. Lead us in battle! We don't want the Goliath Giant's magic stone anymore; you can have it all."
