Danmachi - Infinite Mana System!

[Chapter Size: 1800 Words.]

Third Person POV

Dungeon.

...

...

"It seems we have no pursuers..." Ryuu commented as they traveled through the floors. 

"I doubt they could match our speed..." Lucius commented as they continued on their way with teleportation. 

It didn't take long to pass through the surface floors, the intermediate ones, and finally head towards Rivira. 

"Come on, we can't waste too much time. Let's look for the entrance." Lucius said and used clairvoyance, Ryuu followed him. 

They kept running through the floor, until they came across a quite intriguing scene. Lucius immediately stopped. "What are you doing here!!??" He asks in his distorted voice. 

"..." Ryuu was equally surprised to see these people as well. 

In front of them stood the entire Hestia family, stopped as if they knew they would pass exactly there and were just waiting for them. Lucius stared at them and already knew that he should not hide his identity, they clearly knew him and knew he would pass by there as it seemed. 

Bell, in his armor, took a step forward. "We've come to help you." He said, and Lucius stared at him for a while. 

"How did you know I was here and how come, you are here to help me?" Lucius raised an eyebrow behind his mask. 

Bell just turned his gaze and Lucius followed, with Cassandra entering his vision, the girl a bit embarrassed. 

Flashback. 

The night continued while the members of the Hestia family were doing their things in the main hall of the mansion. 

"Daphne... I'm kind of tired... I'm going to rest." Cassandra said feeling suddenly strange. 

Daphne looked at her and nodded. "Alright, good night." She said. 

Cassandra went to her room, and immediately fell on the bed, but not to sleep, but to dream about a vision of the future. 

She woke up half an hour later, sweaty and frightened. She quickly left the room and saw the members dining at that moment. "Guys!!!" She shouted and everyone turned their heads to her. 

"Cassandra, are you okay?!" Hestia asked concerned seeing the girl's disheveled state. 

"I...I HAD A DREAM!" She declared and everyone quickly widened their eyes, after all, Cassandra had proven quite useful with her future dreams even though they had not prevented any of the tragedies. 

"What did you dream about?" Bell asked worriedly. 

"It's Lucius!!! He's in danger!" She declared leaving everyone surprised. 

"Lucius-san is in danger?!" Haruhime immediately stood up worried. 

"He left tonight, didn't he?" Mikoto also asked worried. 

"He had some things to sort out..." Hestia commented. 

"Where, where will he feel danger?" Welf asked. 

Lili, Daphne, and Aisha remained silent but were hoping for an answer. 

Cassandra was a bit hesitant before speaking. "I don't know exactly, it's a strange and dark place, but I saw him in Rivira in a few hours, it's before everything happens..." She said. 

Everyone was silent for a while, before Bell stood up determined. "We must help Mr. Lucius!" He declared and everyone nodded, after all, Lucius had helped many of them so many times, it was clear they would not do nothing. 

Quickly the entire family began to prepare, picking up their weapons, adjusting their armors and equipment with supplies, they started to leave the Hestia mansion heading to the dungeon, while Hestia stood at the door looking at them all leaving with concern. 

A few hours later, Hestia heard explosions in the city, seeing lightning flying into the sky, wondering if it was Lucius, and even thinking if he would go to Rivira while causing that chaos in the city, but she had to trust Cassandra. 

By that time, the members of the Hestia family were already stopped where Cassandra had indicated and all waited for Lucius to arrive until he finally appeared as in the words of Cassandra. 

End of flashback. 

Lucius looked at each member, Bell Cranel with his dagger, Welf with a sword that seemed to be magical, Lili with her spear, Mikoto with her katana, Aisha with a scimitar, Daphne with a sword, while Cassandra and Haruhime were supports. 

"Tell me what happened... in your dream." Lucius, understanding what it was, looked at Cassandra for answers. 

"I don't know exactly, but you enter a war with 4 families or more!" She said. 

"4 families?! That's a bit complicated, Knossos must be full of traps like the one that fell in that corridor before... If I lose my magic, I'll be in trouble..." He had to admit that fact.

"..." Ryuu just stayed silent as she listened to that. 

"This is good, we were heading to fight against Evilus, it's good to hear this warning, but still, it will be very dangerous, do you really want to be part of this?" Lucius asked looking at everyone. 

"Yes! You are also a member of the Hestia family, and we can't leave you alone to face this risk." Bell spoke and everyone nodded. 

"I understand... Well, I guess I'll have to ask for help from some acquaintances near this floor then, after all, they might be interested in this conflict." Lucius declared. 

"Acquaintances nearby?" Lili asked a bit curious. 

"Well, I want you to wait at the entrance of the ninetieth floor, I'll return with them as soon as I talk to them and explain the situation, it's good that there isn't much flow of adventurers now at night, so I can bring them without problems." Lucius spoke and before anyone could react, he disappeared leaving everyone with more questions. 

Lucius continued teleporting through the floor until he found the stairs, quickly descending and going to the twenty-third floor, to meet a group of acquaintances he hadn't seen in weeks. 

The xenos were doing their activities, while some played among themselves, Lyd and the other main ones were talking calmly, but that changed when Erebus, who was there by the side, sensed a presence in the tunnel. 

"Someone is coming..." He said and the others turned to that direction. 

The space distorted for a millisecond before Lucius appeared in the middle of the place. 

"Lucius-chi!!" Lyd greeted him joyfully, catching the attention of all the others. 

"Lucius!!!" Everyone screamed and the first to throw herself at Lucius was Marie, flying towards him, her bubble had never been popped, so she enjoyed her new mobility in the air quite a lot. 

"Hello to all!" Lucius greeted them now without his Lord Sith outfit, after all, he no longer needed it here and his enemies already knew him, so he had already changed into his mage king combat clothes. 

Lucius was hugged by several xenos with more childlike behaviors and screamed without name pulling him. He had to laugh at that. 

Having enough of that, Lucius disappeared and went to a distance from everyone. "I would like to see you in better times, but that is not the case, so I apologize if I couldn't greet you properly." He said and returned to the main members of the xenos. 

"What do you mean by that?" Ray, the harpy woman, asked flapping her wings. 

"I'm in the middle of a war with a group of families, I'm ready to fight with my family in a short time against them." Lucius said. 

"Do you want our help dealing with them?" Erebus asked with a raised eyebrow while all the xenos looked at Lucius waiting for an answer. 

"It's not that I'm demanding your help, but it's in your interest as well." He said looking at everyone. 

"Our interest?" Gros asked, but without his usual disdain since Lucius saved his life. 

"Yes, after all, these families have been hunting you for a long time and selling you as slaves outside of Orario." He said leaving everyone with wide eyes, they knew about the hunters and had already engaged them in combat, but they could never launch an attack because they don't know where they are and not even Fels could help. 

"So, you're going to fight them?!" Lyd asked alarmed. 

"Yes, that's why I'm here, you must have similars imprisoned in their cages, it's a chance to end them and free some of your people." Lucius spoke. 

Everyone was silent for a while, while the younger xenos just waited for a response from their leaders. 

"We should help him!" Gros, surprisingly was the first to declare. 

"Yes, Gros is right! Let's help Lucius-chi's family!" Lyd also agreed with Ray and Erebus nodding in agreement. 

Soon the place started to enter a frenzy as they prepared, putting on their armors and weapons, a scene similar to the hunt for Juggernaut. They prepared with the main members and many more xenos would participate in this fight, as it was a war against hundreds of humans hunting them, the idea of finally getting rid of them and recovering other xenos from their claws was enough for them to risk their lives along with the human they considered their first friend not being a xenos or Fels.

"Where is Asterius?" Lucius asked. 

"He went out a few days ago to train, but hasn't returned yet..." Lyd spoke. 

"Understood, is everyone ready?" Lucius asked, looking over the large group of more than 30 Xenos, ready for battle. 

"YES!!!!" Everyone agreed, and Lucius looked at the Xenos who would stay behind, Marie was one of them and she approached him. 

"Lucius! Take this." She said timidly, holding a bottle with red liquid. 

"This... your blood?" He asked, surprised. 

"Yes, I cut my arm to put it in the pot, it will help you heal in this fight!" She said, showing that she would not accept refusal from Lucius, and he nodded. 

"Thank you, Marie, we'll be back soon." He said with a small smile. 

"Yes!" She said and returned to the group of Xenos who would stay behind, some Xenos would be here to protect the younger ones, while Lucius would fight with the strongest of the "tribe". 

"Let's go!" He said, starting to lead the group, but not without looking back one more time. 'Now I want to see how I'm going to explain the existence of these beings to my family...' He murmured inwardly.
