Zag now walks in the street as he is currently heading towards a weapon shop that has the Hephaestus Familia's symbol. He walks in front of the door and knocks it a couple of times to hear if there are occupants within.

Waiting for a whole 10 minutes, Zag hears no reply before he grabs hold of the door knob and twists it to find out that the door was locked.

"must've gone to the dungeon for something, huh?" Zag thought out loud as he lets go of the doorknob of the shop before he looks around "she never locks the door even when she's working. She must've gone to somewhere."

Zag stops looking around before he looks at the Babel Tower far off in the distance.

"I should've just gone to the Guild and ask around in the first place." Zagreus spoke out while sighing before he started walking straight towards the direction of the guild and the dungeon.

Time passed as we turn our attention to the guild where at the administration table there are many Adventurers who come to ask permission to enter the dungeon and trade money for the magic stones that they obtained from killing the monsters spawn from within.

Zag came walking in as the large armored man gain the attention of the whole people in the building just from entering the guild.

The large armored man walks towards the administration table where the guild staff are giving permissions to many adventurers who are going to the dungeon.

"this place seems the same as decades back." Zag muttered out while being the attention of the room.

Zag stood in front of the desk where the guild staff member behind it is the half elf Eina who is looking rather worried and in deep thought.

"excuse me?" Zag called out to Eina who snapped out of her thoughts and look at the large armored man.

"y-yes!?" Eina replied while standing up straight. "welcome to the Guild Administration office! How may I help you?!"

Zag looks at her for a few silent moments before he asked. "I would like to set up a meeting with an adventurer who is in the Hestia Familia."

"Hestia Familia?" said Eina in a bit of surprise. "could it be….you're looking to meet with Bell-kun?"

"yes, I would like to meet him for a conversation." Zag stated.

"I'm sorry, sir. But…." Eina replied before she slowly looks towards the quest notice board where there were a crowd surrounding it.

Zag turns to look at the quest notice board and hears crowd chatters while looking at them.

"did you hear? It's the party of that white haired red eyes boy." "that boy? The rabbit looking one?" "yeah" "his party got stuck in the dungeon and hasn't been back for a while" the adventurers near the notice board started to chatter around as this got Zag's attention.

'white haired boy? Red eyes?' the large man thought as he started walking towards the notice quest board.

The adventurers chatter around before they moved away when the large armored man walks in to find a Party Search Quest. Taking a look at the quest that was put on the board recently, Zag takes the quest paper and looks at the information.

"Party Search quest." Zag read the paper and sees the name of the party members. "Liliruca Arde, Welf Crozzo, and…Bell…Cranel."

Zag looks at the paper in hand before he sees the information of where they were last had gone to.

"13th floor." Zagreus readouts as he then throws the paper away before making a run straight for the exit. Making heavy footsteps that surprised everyone in the guild.

"he sure was in a hurry." "who was that guy?" "that guy looks heavy" "no kidding, you see the size of his broad sword? That's way bigger than any broad sword in existence!" the chatters in the guild started to spread as Eina looks at Zag who left the guild while having a confused yet nervous look.

Meanwhile at the 6th floor of the dungeon, a normal Familia party are nearby as they were just adventuring in the dungeon before they were overcome with a large monster party.

"incoming Frog Shooters! War Shadows! And lots of goblins!" an Elven Archer exclaimed as the group are now huddling together in a protective circle while seeing that they are surrounded by a large monster raid.

"t-this raid is bigger than the last one!" a chientrophe girl squeaked out in fear.

"don't fear now!" a dwarven warrior shouted as they prepared themselves to fight the monster raid when they felt heavy vibrations just shaking the ground. "wha?"

Everyone looks around as the monster raid had stopped in their tracks when the vibrations came shaking the entire ground before they quickly ran away.

"the monsters are running?!" the elven archer stated in surprise.

"must be this earthquake." Said the dwarven warrior as the vibrations haven't stopped.

"an earthquake in the dungeon?" said the chientrophe girl as she looks around before she snapped her eyes to the ceiling and her eyes widen when she sees a large crack forming. "a monster from the ceiling?!"

The ceiling shatters into pieces before two armored arms came flying through and straight at the search party.

"jump away!" the dwarven warrior shouted as everyone jumps back and the two flying arms went flying straight to the ground and instantly created a large hole.

"w-what was that!?" the elven archer asked while looking surprised before Zag came falling down the hole above in the ceiling and went straight to the new hole while having no hands on him. "eh?"

Zag disappeared into the hole as everyone nearby looks down and sees the armored man just falling straight into a black abyss.

"just who was that?" the dwarven warrior asked while looking extremely confused.

Everyone looks at the hole as they had no idea what they had witnessed.

Zag falls straight down the holes as his arms had detached from his shoulders and are flying straight to the ground; breaking through the dungeon's floors and giving a single long path for the man to fall down through.

"7th….8th….9th…..10th….." Zag counted the floors that he keeps on passing by as he just broke through them all without a care.

As he arrives on the 13th floor, his arms came back and reattached to his shoulders. Zag falls down as he landed in a big crash while causing dust and a small rock to fly everywhere as he landed with one knee down.

Zag slowly gets up as he looks around and sees no sight of anything or anyone.

"where could that boy be?" Zag asked to himself as he looks around before he spotted a large pile of rocks that he was sure wasn't supposed to be there.

Zag went and check as he finds several discarded adventurer tools and a large hole that wasn't naturally made.

"a party went here and then another…." Zag muttered as he checked the ground before he sensed some presences nearby.

He turns and sees a large raid of monsters coming around the area. From axe wielding Al-Miraj, Hellhound, and Hard Armored. The large raid surrounds Zag as it was accounted of 37 against 1.

"I haven't seen a big monster raid like this one in a decade or so." Zag stated as he grabs the handle of his broad sword on his back before drawing it out and then swung its edge to the ground that cracks and breaks. Zag's eyes glow underneath the visor of his helmet as the right eye glows red while the other glows blue "fine then….I was needing some magic crystals anyway."

The monster raid charges straight towards Zag who simply swung his large broad sword to the side and then quickly sheathes it to his back. The monsters instantly exploded into black dust as they were taken out so fast and so easily by the armored man.

Zag looks at the dropping magic crystals as he was surrounded by it.

"if these monsters were the one who killed the boy, I should be smelling blood on any of them." Said Zag as the magic crystals on the ground started to float and flew straight to his right hand. The armored man looks around as he hears and sees nothing. "they didn't go back up, that means they went down with whoever party was here before."

Zag looks around before he reaches his right hand filled with magic crystals and placed them into the skeleton on the top of his helmet that opened its mouth. Placing the crystals into the skeleton's mouth, the crystals got crunched up as the skeleton started to munch it like it was eating them.

"might be a few floors below…" Zag muttered out before he clenched his hands into fists and pointed them at the ground. The forearm part of the arms started to spin before they detached and rocketed straight to the floor and went right through while breaking through.

Zag went falling back into the hole as he just falls straight through it.

"I might find and catch up with the Boy at the 16th or maybe 17th and 18th floors." Said Zag as his cloak flew off while he falls straight into the deeper floors yet again.

That's a wrap!

Bye bye
