Danmachi - Infinite Mana System!

[Chapter Size: 1600 Words.]

Third Person POV

Dungeon.

...

...

The gate of Knossos was giant, suitable for the trade of monsters that entered there. Darkness enveloped the room as Lucius stepped through the door followed by xenos and his family; he couldn't help but glance at them before continuing into that darkness.

"We have a problem. I can detect life... but seeing obstacles in this darkness isn't my strong suit, and I don't want to draw attention to our arrival by creating light." He shared his reasoning, as he still wanted the element of surprise to fight against the families or anyone they might encounter there.

"I can do this, Lu-chi! Not just me, many of us, have night vision." Lyd said, and Lucius nodded, as animal-like monsters, they would be very useful for this kind of task.

Thus, everyone began to follow Lyd as he led the way through those dark tunnels.

They continued on, navigating some obstacles and taking different paths, until finally seeing a light ahead, "Stay alert and try not to give away our presence as we're approaching and assessing our enemy." Lucius said, and everyone nodded as Lyd chose the best path.

It didn't take long for them to arrive in front of a huge room, there were many lamps in this part with men circulating the place, while there were stalls with monsters, it seemed like a warehouse, but not too large.

"So, they are our enemies?" Welf asked, his head scanning everything while hiding in the shadow.

"No... this is a small filter..." Lucius assessed, after all, this didn't seem like a very large place to keep the monsters and it didn't seem to have important members in that group of people.

"What are we going to do?" Ray asked.

"We're going to attack, catching them by surprise. Ryuu, Aisha... You are the best at this style, follow me and let's take down the enemies." Lucius said, although he preferred a direct attack, stealth was the best option now, facing an unknown enemy.

In the place, various monster screams echoed through the room, men working here and there carrying some of the cells, in a corner, two men were carrying a cage with a plant monster from the twenty-second floor, caged. "Look at this creature!" The man laughed while talking to his companion.

"Be careful, that monster can attack you." Said his companion.

"Are you scared of a plant now?" He laughed and approached the cage, and suddenly a vine tried to reach him, but the man dodged in time.

"I told you." Said the companion.

"Hahaha. He's just agitated. Since he's going somewhere to be someone's exhibit who buys him, Hahaha!" The man laughed at the end.

"Let's get on with it, I've heard there's chaos happening in Orario. Heard that Lucius Drakenar is attacking some of the Evilus families and only a few escaped, entering here." His companion spoke.

"He's a problem, everyone knows him for attacking families and defeating them, thinking he would come after us, but it won't be long, we'll go after his family soon." The man growled.

As they talked, a whip struck the monster's cage forcefully, but it wasn't the monster, but a whip coming from the middle of the place, where a woman had launched it looking at the two disapprovingly. "What are you doing chatting there?! Take that monster to a corner!"

"Yes, ma'am!" They quickly obeyed.

The woman with the red hair and the whip nodded as they placed the monster in the storage before it was taken to another room.

As they were positioning the monster near the entrance, a shadow emerged above them, and before they could react, they fell to the ground with Ryuu appearing on top of them.

Aisha moved swiftly through the shadows too, capturing 3 men in a corner eating something.

Lucius saw this while floating on the ceiling; he noticed there was a person commanding the place, that woman must be at least a level 4. Using life detection, he began to check all the spots where adventurers were, quickly starting to teleport.

"Hm?!" The woman sensed something strange in her instincts, and quickly around her, without her being able to see but feeling a weird sensation, members of the organization began to fall and disappear, while Lucius placed them in a corner of the place in a pile.

"You! Stay alert, we're not alone!" The woman with red hair quickly shouted to the 20 closest men, already guessing that all the others had fallen.

"It seems our surprise attack was discovered." Lucius appeared in the middle of everyone with these words, making them all assume an attack stance.

"So you invaded us through the dungeon..." The woman growled and looked at Lucius without hiding anymore in her dark cloak. She began to attack Lucius with her whip, who teleported to another side, near a demon-human, and knocked him out.

As Lucius attacked some members, Ryuu and Aisha also sprang into action, catching others off guard, while launching attacks with them focusing on Lucius.

"You..." The woman growled at them, as she was getting surrounded by these invaders.

"You should pay attention behind you." A voice emerged behind her, after Lucius appeared there, but when she tried to attack him, he changed positions again and delivered a kick, but she seemed prepared for that, she had a crystal on her waist that she pressed quickly, releasing lightning around her.

Lucius moved away a bit from the attack by teleporting some distance while lightning ran through the area.

"You thought we didn't already know you would get here?" She said, struggling a bit, after all, she was not immune to the lightning she released with the crystal, but at least it was a countermeasure to fight against this mage after the Thanato family arrived with only two members and everyone here already knew that Lucius could launch an attack.

"Smart..." Lucius admitted, but smiled. "However, you're still at a disadvantage." He said this and two shadows emerged against the woman, launching attacks from Ryuu and Aisha.

Lucius didn't waste time while she was pressed again and lightning began to emerge from his hand as he threw it at her, she quickly received the electric shock screaming. "AHHHHHH!!" While falling to her knees.

"You may have defeated me here, but you'll never defeat Evilus." She growled, bleeding.

"You talk too much for someone who's defeated..." Aisha said mockingly.

"No matter." The woman spoke and took out a different red crystal before pressing it.

Both Lucius, Ryuu, and Aisha were aware of the crystal's danger, and before Lucius could use his time magic on it, it exploded. Aisha and Ryuu, being the closest, couldn't escape in time, but with both within Lucius's reach, he used his time spheres to grab them and quickly pull them out of there.

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMM*

Lucius, Ryuu, and Aisha appeared in a place outside the explosion as everything shook and echoed.

"That damned woman... she killed herself to warn the others..." Lucius murmured, dissatisfied, as their surprise attack was no longer an option.

"Lucius? Are you all right?" Bell and the other members of the Hestia family appeared, worried.

"We are..." He murmured as Ryuu and Aisha emerged from the sphere of time.

"It seems you've attracted quite the attention." Erebus approached with his huge body along with the other xenos.

"It's true... we no longer have the element of surprise, we'll have to attack them head-on." Lucius spoke, looking towards the site of the woman's explosion, she took some of her companions and nearby monsters in their cages.

"So they imprison monsters here..." A xenos murmured, looking at a cage.

"Yes, check if there are no xenos among them, let's continue after that." Lucius suggested, and Lyd with Gross went to check the more than 30 cells at the site.

"There are none of us here..." Lyd concluded.

Lucius nodded and looked at everyone, "Let's go, it's all-out war now, so be prepared." Lucius spoke, and everyone nodded.

They then continued on their way, on the other side, while there were many more monster cells, at least 200 members of Evilus with 4 families were already waiting for the enemy attack.

Orario was recovering from its explosions, while the Ganesha family, along with some other families, were taking care of those fallen from Lucius's attacks and losing some, Shakti was ready to launch a search in the dungeon for the two who fled but was stopped by the guild, saying it was a secret matter, having no choice but to return to the city, Fels was collecting all the evidence that Lucius had left in the shadows.

While everyone was there, a silent war below them would soon begin, but it was just the calm before the storm for Orario, after all, soon Orario would also be engulfed in chaos from the consequences of that fight, and the night was far from over.

"Why do I feel this strange feeling..." Loki looked up at the sky from her mansion. Her family was absent, going to the sites where Lucius and Ryuu attacked to check.

This feeling did not come only from this goddess, Syr looked up at the sky strangely when she left the bar, Hephaestus looked at the city thinking about something from her room in the Tower of Babel, Hestia's heart was pounding as she felt that something big would happen that night.
