The Fukaros Familia, starting from DanMachi.

Chapter 167 My Lord is Here

Hopefully there won't be a second or third phase, otherwise this joke will have gone too far.

Fen Yu shook his head, stopped thinking about it, and slowly drew the long sword from his waist, preparing for battle.

Robin and the others beside him also gripped their weapons tightly with solemn expressions.

As Fenyu had predicted, when the smoke and light from the magical explosion dissipated, the figure of the Dead Road Butcher reappeared.

It knelt on one knee, its body covered in black metal shell emitting billowing steam. The hideous wounds and melting marks caused by the magic were visibly writhing and healing.

In just a few breaths, it recovered completely, as if the previous devastating barrage of magic had only scratched its skin.

"Are you kidding me?! What kind of insane recovery speed is this? It's even more outrageous than Goliath's superhuman regeneration!"

Upon seeing this, Burs's rugged face contorted with horror.

"Bang!"

With a deafening roar, the Dead Road Butcher's massive body transformed into a gigantic black shadow. Ignoring the fragile mages, it charged back into the vanguard, its door-sized road sign weapon sweeping out with a whistling sound as it tore through the air. Several more heavily armored, experienced shield guards were sent flying back with screams.

"You monster, die!"

Just then, an extremely agile LV.3 cat-man adventurer seized the opportunity, circling around to the back of the Dead Road Butcher like a ghost, his dagger striking like a viper's tongue, aiming straight for the butcher's heart.

However, as if it had eyes in the back of its head, the Dead End Butcher's massive body suddenly turned around at an illogical speed, and its right hand, covered in a metal shell, swung down in a flash, the terrifying claw strike whistling through the air with a sharp whooshing sound.

The cat-man adventurer's expression changed drastically, and in a flash, he held his dagger horizontally in front of him to block.

"clang--!"

With a crisp metallic clang, the cat-man adventurer's figure was sent flying backward at an even faster speed, like a cannonball struck by a battering ram, crashing into a distant wall with a loud thud, sending up a large pile of rubble, his fate unknown.

Seeing that the few LV.3 adventurers in the team who could hold their own were instantly killed, Bos spat on the ground and cursed loudly before shouting at Fenyu and the others behind him, "Xinyan, help us! If we don't do something, we'll all be done for!"

At the same time, as if in response to his despair, the surrounding walls once again emitted a teeth-grinding cracking sound.

All sorts of monsters began to emerge from the walls—Milotauros wielding giant axes, roaring orcs, sea monsters dressed in tattered warrior attire, guardian assassins wielding giant scythes, and even young spiky dragons that could move through rocks.

Monsters swarmed in from all directions and instantly clashed with the adventurers on the periphery, with screams and the clash of weapons echoing throughout the air.

"Use this fiery wheel as your chariot!"

Burning Feather finally moved.

He chanted, and crimson flames shot into the sky like a volcanic eruption. Using this violent burst of power, he leaped high into the air and then, like a burning meteor, headed straight for the rampaging butcher of the dead road.

"boom--!

The longsword, wreathed in blazing flames, descended with overwhelming force, slamming into the road sign hastily raised by the Dead End Butcher.

A violent shockwave and intense flames swept out in a ring, cracking the hard stone slab beneath the Dead End Butcher's feet and creating a huge, spiderweb-like crater.

"Oh my god! It's Xin Yan!"

"Xin Yan is awesome!!"

Upon witnessing Fen Yu's earth-shattering and powerful attack, the adventurers, who had been in a state of panic and fear, seemed to have been given a shot of adrenaline, and they all let out thunderous roars, their morale soaring.

"Everyone, follow my orders!"

Just then, a clear and calm female voice, amplified by a magic speaker, resounded throughout the noisy floor.

"Adventurers of LV.3 and above form an elite team to hold off the floor master with Xin Yan. The rest of you, immediately clear out the surrounding monsters and protect the back row. Mages, keep chanting and don't stop. Healers, hurry up and save people."

It is a robin.

Holding a delicate megaphone, she issued commands methodically.

"All of you, obey the orders of the Holy Maiden of War Law."

Burse roared as well. He wasn't stupid; he immediately understood the optimal solution at hand.

He was one of the few LV.3 adventurers who had to deal with the Dead End Butcher, so the command naturally had to be handed over to someone else.

The robin took it willingly, much to his delight.

Moreover, although Robin didn't have much prestige among their group, her reputation as the "Saintess of War" was enough to keep the scene in check.

As long as the command is correct, these adventurers will still listen.

"You bunch of bastards, come with me to support Xin Yan. We have to stop this monster today."

Amidst roars, several LV.3 adventurers, led by Bos, transformed into afterimages and charged towards the Dead End Butcher from different directions, forming an encirclement together with Burning Feather, who was facing him head-on.

"Joan of Arc, Violet, magic."

Seeing that the adventurers had followed her command and the chaotic battle lines were gradually stabilizing, and that Burning Feather had temporarily tied up the terrifying floor master with Bos and the others, she immediately looked at Jeanne d'Arc to the side.

Joan of Arc nodded solemnly, and without the slightest hesitation, immediately began her sacred and long chant.

At the same time, Kazejin began her chanting.

"Lord, I will make my body your shield."

Listen to the whispers that mingle with the dawn and dusk.

As the two uttered syllables, pure magic began to converge upon them.

"By the holy banner as witness, by the bond of faith, we protect all souls that should not be consumed by war!"

"In the cracks of memory, the spirit remains gentle."

This massive surge of magical energy immediately attracted the attention of several nearby monsters. They roared, abandoned their opponents, and charged towards Jeanne and Feng Jin.

However, without the robin's command, Tifa and Daphne, who were already positioned on either side, went to meet them.

Tifa moved with lightning speed, delivering a swift side kick that sent a Milotaur staggering backward, while Daphne wielded her rapier, precisely parrying the powerful scythe of a guard assassin, buying Joan of Arc precious time.

"Descend, Glory of the Guardians!"

"Please once again send down the healing rain for me and for all of us, and hold up that clear sky!"

In the pink light, Little Ika appeared, letting out a clear cry and flapping its wings. A gentle, healing breeze, like spring rain, swept across the entire battlefield, bringing warmth and life to the wounded adventurers.

Cassandra also ran to the several shield bearers who had been knocked back and were lying on the ground, heavily injured, and cast her healing spell.

"My lord is here!"

Finally, Joan of Arc finished her chant.

A golden barrier, centered on her, instantly spread out like a soft halo, covering all the adventurers present.

In an instant, everyone was bathed in a warm and sacred golden light.

After unleashing this spell, which was extremely taxing on her, Jeanne, who was only at LV.1, was slightly pale and breathing heavily, but her eyes remained resolute.

"Oh! What kind of magic is this?!"

The other adventurers were all amazed to see the soft, gilded glow emanating from his body.

They then discovered the amazing effects of this radiance.

"My physical strength is recovering, and so is my mental strength."

"The monster's attacks don't seem to hurt as much anymore, I can fight for another three hundred rounds!"

Upon discovering this, the adventurers erupted in even louder cheers than before.

They also noticed that the one who released this powerful magic was a member of the Fukaros Familia.

With the addition of Wind Violet's wide-area healing that covered the entire area, the adventurers' confidence soared to unprecedented heights, and they became even more obedient to Robin's commands.

With the powerful blessing of Jeanne d'Arc's barrier magic, the adventurers gradually suppressed the ever-emerging monsters.
