The Fukaros Familia, starting from DanMachi.

Chapter 166 The Dead End Butcher

"Damn it, I didn't agree to that!"

Upon hearing that someone was actually going to give away the floor owner's biggest loot, Boss's face instantly twisted in anger. He turned around and roared, "Loot can be divided, but how can you just give away the lion's share? Do you want to work for free?!"

"That's too stingy, Perth. This is the 'Warrior Saintess,' and opportunities to fight alongside her are rare."

Someone started making a fuss in the crowd.

Fen Yu touched the hairs that had stood up on his arm, grinned, and said, "I'm fine, but—don't regret it."

"Haha, that's great!"

With a wave of his hand, Bos turned to the crowd again, "Did you all hear that? The [Fukaros Familia] has officially joined the Floor Master Extermination Battle! Cheers!"

"Ooh ooh ooh ooh!"

The adventurers on the scene raised their weapons and cheered loudly.

"Bird, you're really popular."

Feng Jin held the robin's arm and whispered in her ear with a grin.

The robin smiled helplessly, but didn't seem to feel uncomfortable at all.

She simply watched the frenzied scene of hundreds of people before her with a calm demeanor, her heart unmoved.

She was originally an idol on stage, with fans all over the universe, and her concerts attracted audiences in the hundreds of millions.

This minor incident did not shake her resolve in the slightest.

Just as the adventurers were excitedly raising their arms in celebration at the prospect of teaming up with the recently renowned "Warrior Saintess" to defeat the floor boss, a piercingly loud bang shattered the cacophony.

—Boom!

The huge wall in the distance, which resembled a room partition, suddenly cracked open without warning.

In that instant, hundreds of adventurers stopped cheering, the frenzied shouts ceased abruptly, and the entire seventeenth floor fell into an eerie silence.

"The floor leader has appeared, get everything ready for me."

The next second, Bos's thunderous roar shattered the silence: "Vanguards, move up! Defenders, prepare your spells! Center-backs, clear out the mobs! Don't let them disturb the mage's chanting!"

No wonder he's an adventurer who's constantly on the brink of death.

At Burst's command, the previously somewhat disorganized crowd instantly displayed a high level of professionalism.

The vanguard, clad in heavy armor, roared and raised their shields, forming an ironclad defensive line at the very front of the column.

The guards, armed with various weapons, including expensive magic swords, quickly spread out, vigilantly watching the surrounding walls, ground, and even ceiling, ready to intercept any monsters that might emerge.

At the rear of the column, dozens of rear-guard mages had taken out their staffs and gathered in the distance, their deep chants beginning to intertwine.

They often attack the thread starter.

Although the general level of this expeditionary force is not high, with the highest leader, Perth, only being LV.3, the adventurers are numerous and powerful. Relying on their tacit cooperation and numerical advantage, they are still able to kill the LV.4 floor master, Goliath.

This is also a common method for ordinary adventurers to acquire "great achievements" and accumulate advanced experience.

Although the experience points are almost negligible due to the large number of players, they can still accumulate over time and pave the way for leveling up.

As the wall completely shattered, a large amount of rubble and dust billowed out.

However, when the smoke cleared, what appeared before all the adventurers was not the familiar giant they had expected, but a terrifying being they had never seen before, exuding an ominous aura.

It was a monster that looked like a giant humanoid machine, over five meters tall. Its gray, twisted muscles and skin were covered with a black metal shell, and the shell was covered with green energy patterns that flowed slowly as if they were alive.

It stood there silently, like a cursed monument rising from the depths of hell.

Its head was lowered, with no eyes, only a huge green gash that spanned its entire face, and its mouth was torn wildly to both sides at a physically impossible angle, like a silent, sinister grin.

Its right hand gripped a massive, long-handled weapon tightly—more like a road sign forcibly pried off from the ruins of some ancient city than a weapon.

The pitch-black metal plate was as big as a door panel, with illegible characters etched on its surface. Although the edges were worn, it still gleamed with a chillingly sharp light.

A terrifying sense of oppression and a palpable killing intent swept out like an invisible tide, causing all the adventurers present to shiver involuntarily.

"Damn it, what the hell, where's Goliath? What the hell is this thing?!"

"You damn dungeon, you've tricked me again, this is an unusual situation."

"Why are we so unlucky? We had to run into them when we were cleaning up the floor. Why didn't we run into them last time when those Loki Familia bastards came?"

Perth and the other adventurers in the front row immediately started cursing.

Their anger stemmed not only from the fact that this newly appeared monster was far more imposing than Goliath, but also from the fact that all their prepared tactics, personnel, and equipment were specifically designed to counter Goliath.

They are adept at dealing with familiar enemies.

But now, the floor master has become a completely new monster with unknown fighting style, unknown strength, and everything about him is unknown. How could they not curse him out?

At the back of the crowd, Fen Yu silently lowered his head, his lips twitching uncontrollably.

Apart from Daphne and Cassandra, who were unaware of the situation, Robin, Tifa, Violet, and even Joan of Arc all looked at him with extremely strange expressions.

That look seemed to say, "See, you've done something good again."

The next moment, the humanoid monster seemed to be enraged by the adventurers' curses. It suddenly raised its head, opened its terrifying green maw, and let out a deafening roar.

"roar--!!!"

A terrifying sonic shockwave swept outwards, whipping up a gale and sending dust billowing everywhere.

The shield guards in the front row felt a chill run down their spines. Then, a huge black shadow with a sharp whooshing sound appeared in front of them at a speed that was difficult to detect with the naked eye.

The enormous road sign weapon, accompanied by a fierce wind that tore through the air, swept out with incredible ferocity.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The immense force was so violent, so irresistible.

Even the vanguard, clad in the heaviest armor and renowned for their defense, were now as fragile as tattered cloth, easily swept away.

The sturdy tower shield twisted into a pretzel the moment it made contact, and the arms holding the shield made a teeth-grinding cracking sound. Several shield guards were sent flying like stones blocking their way, spitting out blood in mid-air, their fate unknown.

With just one strike, the punitive expeditionary force of several hundred men was gripped by unimaginable terror.

"What the hell?! Where's the mage?! Blast him!!"

An adventurer behind them let out a terrified roar.

Without him having to shout, the mages who were already prepared completed their incantations.

A series of dazzling magic circles lit up behind them, illuminating the entire floor as bright as day.

The next moment, lightning, flames, gales, earth spikes, ice blades—dozens of magical torrents intertwined and swept out, completely engulfing the terrifying figure.

The sounds of explosions, howling air, violent shockwaves, cracking rocks, monster roars, and violent ground tremors mingled together.

Everyone craned their necks, staring intently at the area engulfed in magical light, hoping that this concentrated attack would be effective.

But Fen Yu shook his head.

This level of magical attack would be ineffective against the monster before them, and even Goliath, with its thick hide, would not be able to be killed in one blow.

He had already recognized the new floor owner as "Dead End Butcher".

A monster that exists only in his memory.

"If I remember correctly, the Dead End Butcher is still only in its initial stage, right?"
