The Fukaros Familia, starting from DanMachi.

Chapter 176 Final Form

The Butcher of the Dead End let out a deafening roar and finally released his grip on Tiona's arms.

Tiona fell from the sky, rolled upon landing, and picked up the sword.

"Thanks, Tione."

She roared and swung her blade at the butcher's legs.

The Dead End Butcher leaped to avoid it, but Ais was already waiting for it in mid-air as her "Sword of Despair" slashed down from above, striking it squarely in the shoulder.

puff!

The blade penetrated three inches into the flesh.

The Dead End Butcher crashed to the ground, all four arms slamming down simultaneously! BOOM!

The shockwave from the ground impact.

A purple-green energy exploded from the point of impact, sending all four people flying.

But this time, they did not back down.

As Ais flew backward, the tip of her sword touched the ground, using the force to stop her momentum and then charged forward again.

Tiona slammed into the rock wall, but immediately bounced up, ignoring her wounds, and charged again.

Tione tumbled in the air, her twin blades drawing two arcs of light as she slashed towards the back of the Dead Road Butcher.

Bert cut in from the side, unleashing a flurry of kicks, each strike carrying enough power to shatter steel.

The four attacks landed simultaneously on the Dead End Butcher.

boom!!!

The Butcher of the Dead End's body exploded with countless wounds, and black blood gushed out.

The next moment, as if by telepathy, the four of them simultaneously scattered in all directions, clearing the way for the impending destruction.

In the sky, accompanied by a clear and sweet shout from Lefia in the distance, a huge magic circle composed of countless complex runes suddenly appeared.

Like a sudden downpour, fire engulfs the barbarian tribes!

Even before the four were engaged in a fierce battle with the Dead End Butcher, Lefia had already begun chanting her strongest artillery spell.

[A volley of flaming javelins!]

Countless fiery javelins, burning fiercely like a meteor shower of divine punishment, poured down from the magic circle. They tore through the air, emitting sharp whistles, and illuminated the entire cave ceiling in a crimson glow.

The first javelin hit its mark, blasting open the wound on the Dead End Butcher's body, followed by the second, the third, and so on.

The hundredth one.

The continuous explosions merged into a destructive torrent, completely engulfing the once arrogant monster.

Although Lefia is only a LV.3 mage, the power of her full-force magical attack is no less than that of a LV.5 attack.

Its terrifying destructive power is enough to threaten any powerful enemy, let alone the Dead Road Butcher that was just severely injured by Ais and her three companions.

"Is it over?"

Lefia put down her staff, slightly out of breath after casting a powerful spell, and the huge magic circle beneath her feet slowly dissipated.

"No, it's not over yet."

Finn licked his thumb, his intelligent blue eyes now filled with seriousness.

Before the words were finished, an even more terrifying figure rose up again amidst the billowing smoke and firelight.

On the cratered and scorched earth ravaged by Lefia's magic, the enormous body that should have been shattered was, in fact, frantically reorganizing and expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye, right before everyone's eyes.

The green magic patterns that originally flowed across his body had now completely transformed into an ominous, extremely rich deep purple.

Its shell became sharper and more ferocious, with sharp spikes like blades growing from its shoulders and back.

Its size has been further enhanced, and just by standing there, it exudes a despairing sense of oppression that can suffocate low-level adventurers.

In its enormous hand it held a massive, jet-black club, its shaft crackling with purple lightning, as if it could unleash destructive power at any moment.

"As expected, there's a final form."

Fen Yu was not surprised to see this.

He recognized it at a glance: this was the final stage of the Dead End Butcher – the "Eating Posture".

Although it was a monster from his memories, it had clearly undergone a more dangerous mutation after being nurtured by the underground city of this world.

"Seriously?! Is this guy some kind of cockroach? How come his health bar is so long? This relentless attack is so annoying, wouldn't it be better if he just became experience points?"

Tiona let out a wail as she looked at the monster, which was even more terrifying than the previous two stages combined.

"This should be the last one."

Finn ignored Tiona's complaints and went to Fenyu's side, saying in a deep voice, "Xinyan, how about it, do you want to send this guy off on his final journey?"

"Is this a good idea? With the strength of the Loki Familia, they should be able to handle it."

Fen Yu raised an eyebrow.

He wasn't just being polite.

Although the Dead Enderman in his [Food Stance] form is ridiculously strong, with the Loki Familia's luxurious, almost unfair, lineup, they are bound to win. There's no doubt about that, and there's absolutely no need to drag their Fukaros Familia along.

"With the 【War Saintess】 here, it's actually our advantage that we can team up with you."

Finn glanced at the robin and smiled knowingly.

"Okay, if none of you have any objections, then I have even less objection."

Fen Yu nodded immediately.

This Dead End Butcher is a huge amount of experience points that are right there in front of you. Even if you only get a share of the experience from participating in the siege, it will be enough to make his clan members grow tremendously.

This opportunity is especially crucial for Daphne and Cassandra.

He knew very well that the robin's skill [Tongue Harmony] could accelerate experience gain, but it was only an "acceleration," not an increase in the adventurer's potential limit out of thin air.

Adventurers are not all the same. Some are so talented that they can easily reach $-level ability, while others can only reach D-level no matter how hard they try. These are the fundamental differences that even the skills of a robin cannot change.

Tifa and Violet's ability to constantly push their limits stems largely from their unfathomable talent.

Daphne and Cassandra are clearly not as talented as them, and each has a foreseeable bottleneck.

Participating in a battle against a monster of the Dead End level is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity to break through a bottleneck, and with top-tier figures like the Loki Familia backing you up, almost no accidents will happen.

"In that case, let's hand over command to Saintess War Law. That's what it means to be a team."

Finn smiled. He had just heard from Perth that the robin had been in charge of them before.

"Okay, I will do my best."

The robin nodded, a serious look appearing in its lake-green eyes.

Both sides reached an agreement, and Joan of Arc began to sing again.

She had just drunk a bottle of mental energy recovery potion, which was enough for her to use magic again.

"My Lord, I will make my body your shield!"

The golden barrier magic, "My Lord is Here," was activated once more, enveloping all the participants in its holy radiance.

"All personnel, charge!"

The robin's call echoed across the battlefield.

Loki's Familia members Ais, Bert, Tione, and Tiona were the first to charge towards the Dead Man's Bane, followed closely by Raul, Anachiti, Alicia, and other LV.3 and LV.4 elites.

Fenyu also gestured to Tifa and Daphne, signaling them to join in as well.

"I never imagined I'd be fighting alongside the Loki Familia one day."

Daphne muttered to herself, feeling a surge of excitement. Having only recently joined the Fukaros Familia, she was already participating in a battle of this magnitude—it was incredibly thrilling.

"roar-!

The Dead End Butcher roared, and facing the onslaught of elite troops, it swung its club upwards, aiming a powerful stab at Tiona at the front.

"Well done!"

Tiona roared, planted her feet firmly on the ground, and swung her large twin blades at a precise angle to meet the attack.

With a loud "clang!", she actually managed to block this blow that was powerful enough to split mountains and shatter rocks.

However, the monster did not stop moving. Using the reaction force from the block, its massive body suddenly turned around, and its club swept across the side with a whistling sound as it tore through the air.

"Don't even think about it!"

Ais and Tifa moved at the same time.

Ais's figure transformed into a gust of wind, sliding past from below, her Despair Sword leaving a deep wound on the monster's ankle.

Tifa leaped high, deftly dodging the sweeping attack, and delivered a powerful downward kick to the monster's wrist, deflecting the terrifying sweeping motion.

When his first attack failed, the Dead End Butcher immediately changed tactics, wielding his club left and right, transforming it into a purple whirlwind of death.

Bert and the Amazon sisters weaved through the relentless attacks, using their incredible speed and combat instincts to constantly find gaps in the attacks and leave wounds on the monster's body.

Burning Feather then unleashed magic, using invisible sonic bombardment to disrupt the Dead End Butcher, forcing him to distract himself.

"It's gathering its strength, everyone retreat!"

The sound of a robin came from afar.
