[Few hours earlier]

In the 2nd floor of Nazarick, Shalltear was lying on her bed, filing her nails. She looked at them, verifying their perfection. After that, she sighed.

It was an eternity Galadriel-sama was gone. She could at least let us know more about her.

By prudence, Galadriel avoided to messaged toward Nazarick, because of her paranoid telling her maybe there was someone who could somehow intercepted them. But she assured them she would not let them alone after being sure.

Deciding she had finished, she continued her patrol between the floors, not that it actually help her.

Also, no human can possibly come here, already there is litarally nothing on these mountains, wand with Mare's camouflage, there is literally no chance that anyone would one day find u-. A rumbling caughed her attention.

A rumbling ? Someone is fighting ? Then it hit her An attack ? How ? Her eyes wided as she rushed on the first floor. On her way, she casted a [Message].

[Cocytus, Mare, Albedo. Do you receive me ?]

[Y-Yes I can hear you]

[YOU. SEEMS. TO. BE. IN. A. HURRY. WHAT. IS. IT ?]

[I'm busy now. I'm filling Galadriel-sama's bed-whatever !]

[Someone managed to find us and is now inside !]

[IMPOSSIBLE !]

[W-w-what are we goind to do ?]

[This is not time for bad joke]

[I'm serious ! Come join me in the first floor, I'm going to see our intruders] With that, she cut the transmission.

Who it might be ?


In the first floor, all kind of creatured were being attacked and killed : skeletons, vampires were pulverisedd by two figures, with one of them visibly having their time of their life.

"Kyahahahaha ! Look what discover we made. A true gold mine ! " The first one said. He was a man who look like a Grim Reaper with black eyes. He was carring a big blue scythe,The most perturbing feature was his widen crazy smile he constantly wore.

"Indeed, it was centuries since the last one came in this world " The second figure said. She was a tall woman with blond hair and red eyes wearing a blue dress. Unlike his coworker, her face was totally devoided of any emotions. She held a dual bladed spear.

The two continued their massacre, going deeper in the dungeon. "It's not a big deal, these creatures don't stand a chance" the male said with a hint of disappointment

"Don't be overconfident. Their powers varied from very weak to... you know" The woman respond

"Yeah, I remember. Oh ! Something approached, and it's different from the others "

In front of them, the said monster, aka Shalltear, walked slowly toward them with a frown, accompagned by bride vampires. She pointed her spear at them, threatening them.

"Helloooo little one, may you to introduce yourself ?" The man said with an exaggerate posture.

"In this case, you are the invaders here " Shalltear replied. We even put detection traps and spells, how did they past them ?

"Hehe, you're right, pale one, I am Prometheus, Demon of Chaos" He said with a bow.

"And I'm Pandora, Goddess of Balance" The woman added "And I'm assuming you wna t to know how we pass your trials ? I assured you, if it was someone else, or in other circumstances, never we could getting undetected"

"She's right ! We almost fall into some of them. It took us a hell of a time" Prometheus finished.

I see "I'm Shalltear Bloodfallen, Floor Guardian of this building. I'm afraid to say that it will be your end" She said as she commanded the bride vampires to attack.

"Kyahahaha ! It promises a lot " Prometheus laughed when he lunged himself forward, his scythe held backward. "Decapitation !" In one motion, he swung horizontally his weapon, slicing all the vampires in two. "Is that all ?" He said, smiling.

That was not a decapitation !Shalltear deadpanned internally as she extended her palm, where a white magic circle emerged [Brillant Radiance]. A light appeared under Prometheus, and light elevated, engulfing him. Prometheus hissed from pain, but he was quite fine.

Pandora twirled her lance, electricity coming out of the tips.

"Lightning Disk" She swung the lance, a disk made of electricity launching at Shalltear, who jumped, using her wings to maintaining herself in the air. She brough her lance back, before charging at Pandora.

She didn't react, as she knew Prometheus positioned himself in front of her, his scythe served like a protection, but the vampire provided herself to be stronger than intended. He recoiled from the push, until Shalltear pushed it away. Using this momentum, she planted her lance on the demon's side. Prometheus groaned in pain, but he smiled at her.

Shalltear's eyes wided when he remarked Pandora at her side, the goddess pointed her dual lance at her, leashing red flames "Flame Burst". With their perfect coordinations, Shalltear didn't have time to react and took the full attack. She slided back, gaining som edistances while her eyes shone.

[Life Essence] [Mana Essence] It seems my attacks actually worked on the demon, but 3rd Tier is clearly not enough, but his HP is lessen by my lance. The other one use fire when she was sure to hit me. She know my race weaknesses, they are well informed. It's strange, I can't see their MP, did they hid them ? But I can't see any Items on them which can do such a thing.

"Hey! Don't fall asleep! "Prometheus said, extending his arms, a evil aura flared around him "Skull Flare!" From the aura, flaming skulls appeared around him, leashing each a powerful trail of flames directly toward the vampire.

Before Shalltear could react, a figure suddenly appeared in front of her and used their axe to block the trails. Shalltear smiled, recognising Albedo in her armor. "Took you long enough"

"My apologies, I was preparing myself. Don't tell me you were going to be beaten by these... slugs"

Shalltear gasped "How dare you? Of course I can't be beaten by them" Her look became serious again "But they managed to enter unnoticed, and I can't see their MP, without carring anything to hide them"

"Kyahaha! A new one! Things promised to be interesting now!" Prometheus laughed.

"Are you one of 'them'?" Pandora asked, causing the two girls to tilted their head"

"What do you mean by 'them'? " Albedo wanted to know

"Certain types of... 'peoples' can appeared there, and we felt something was strange, so we came. Even if you hid well your hideout, the chaos it caused allowed us to find it noneless" Prometheus explained.

Chaos ? Peoples ? Are they talking about Galadrial-sama ? Do they want to har her ?

"I don't know who are you talking about" Shalltear said

"It's true they would already come here with the trouble we caused" Pandora concluded

"Then, see ya !"Prometheus added, waving back at them, but Albedo was charging at him with her halberd "You're not getting anywhere !"

"Oh shi-!" He prepared his scythe to clash with Albedo, but she was surprisingly strong. She pushed him back until he hit wall. "Gah!"

"Prometheus!" It was Pandora's mistake, Shalltear, in her armor, surrounded her with her summons, she was stuck.

"Damn it" She cursed as she enlighted her lance, white energy sprouting out of the tips.

"White Purification !" She turned her dual lance around herself, slicing the summons with light. But this was just a distraction. Shalltear had her free hand up, with blood forming severals lances.

[Blood Lances] The lances were thrown toward Pandora, who tried to deflect them with her own lance, but two of them managed to successfully hit her on the shoulder and the side.

During that time, Prometheusswung his scythe at Ambedo, but the demoness grabbed it with one hand, using the other one to slam him with the flat side of the haleberd. The duo finished side to side, badly injured.

"Heh. They're strong" Despite his state, Prometheus still smiled.

"And it's not like they're here, we must leave now" Pandora said, not managing to hide her stress.

Then, a chill was spreading, as well as loud steps, until two more 'persons' came out, one of them being the giant ice insect and the other one the little shy dark elf.

" . . 'T .TELEPORT . .YOU"

"Y-Yes, we-we're sorry" Mare said, bowing apologisely.

"You're excused" Albedo replied, still focused on the two.

"It's true there is quite a way from the Floors below" Shalltear added.

Pandora and Prometheus sweated profusely. "T-There are others. Kuhuhu..."

"What's so funny ?" Albedo asked.

"Kuhuhuuh...HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Prometheus bursted in crazy laughed "T-That's new, Pandora. Not only the Player who came here must be on the top level, but there's also NPC on theyr level" He placed a hand on his fronthead, his eyed wet from the laugh.

"Prometheus, NOW !" Pandora scream, not feeling safe

"AT YOU'RE SERVICE !" He lifted his scythe, but aimed noone, he just sliced the air, where a slit formed. It elarged, taking the form of a portal

[ STALAGMITE RISE] Cocytus extended his arm, the ground around the goddees-demon duo began to chill, spike of ice rising from the ground, threatening to pirece them

[Defence Breaker] [Reinforcement]. Mare cast his support buffs on Cocytus's attack, making them even more dangerous, but before it could reached these two, they managed to leave. As the guardians still wandered what happened, Albedo snapped them to reality.

"Alert all the Tomb, make searches all around the floors. Employ a research team in the mountains, I want them back !" She screamed

"Yes!" The guardians nodded.


Outside of Nazarick, the duo sitted on the snow, taking their breathe.

"Well, what an adventure" Prometheus said, looking the sky.

"Despite our power boost, they are still too strong for us. They seems to be what's called 'level 100 NPC' "

"Their leader didn't show up, so it means they are not currently at home. Our lord won't be very happy to hear that. A entire building of monsters. Heh, first time"

"He must be aware quickly. I bet these monsters are searching us right now" Pandora sat up "Let's go"

Prometheus opened another portal, and the demon and the goddess dissappeared Where ? Only them know."


[Present]

[You were attacked ? By who ? Have you found them?]

[Not quite, my lady, but we do our maximum to find them. They called themself Prometheus and Pandora, demon of Chaos and goddess of Balance]

It don't ring a bell [Did they represent a treat ?]

[That woman, Pandora, managed to pass my immunity to weak attacks, but I was unnequiped, so she didn't pose a problem. But...]

[But...?]

[Prometheus successfully created a portal inside Nazarick, thing even us guardians can't do]

[Are they inside of Nazarick ?]

[We searched the inside firstly, but they don't seems to be anywhere. I think they went away]

[Continue the researches, said to Pandora's Actor to be ready to take my place, I will join you after I finish what I'm doing]

[Understood, Galadriel-sama] With that, the [Message shut down]

"Miss Elian, is there a problem ?" Erzea asked, noticing the armored woman semms to be absent since a moment"

"Hm? Oh nothing, I was thinking about the boss of these thugs, surely theywere diriged by someone"

"You're talking about us?" Said a loudly voice. Reve, accompagned by Natsu, Lucy and Happy walked toward the gathering. He was vexed, he wanted a fight, but the boss was nothing to satiate him, or Natsu.

"So you went to figh' the boss, eh ?" Gajeel asked

"Pfft, he was worth nothing, I wanted a real fight, me?" Natsu whined, then remarked Gajeel's state "Don't tell me you've got one, and not ME ?"

"Jealous?" Gajeel responded, wearing a satisfied smile

"By the way, who are you?" Selene asked the trio of unknow mages.

"I'm Elian, this is Narbe and Regina, we are the guild Darkness."

"Darkness? That's a strange name" Takeru finally appeared from behind. (un)Fortunately for him, he didn't find anyone, dark mage or Fairy Tail, to prove his guild was the strongest.

"Are you insulting the name Lad-Elian-san said?" Narbe looked bad at Takeru, making him shiver.

"I was just saying fact" Takeru replied for his defense.

"Our job is done, let's take these guy to the council and let's go home" Taya said before turning back, the other ones following her.

"Let's talk another time, Shizu" Aira said, waving to the eye patched girl.

"Well, we will departe-"

"Not so fast!" Natsu yelled at Elian, a challenging smile on his face "Let's fight"

Regina and Narbe stared at him like he talked in another language, they stared at him before quietly giggled.

"Natsu, It's not the time for that" Erza facepalmed

"I agree with her" Elian replied "Here it's not the time, but I'm sure one day we will fight, like in the next Magic Games"

"I can't wait for sure" Natsu accepted the term. Not longer after, the fairy departed too. That's left only the Nazarick members in disguise.

"My lady, what happened?" Lupusregina asked with a half questioning half worried face

"I received a message from Shalltear. Things began to spice" Galadriel said with a serious face. "I will go back to Nazarick, Pandora's Actor will take my place if things are needed."

"Something bad happened to Nazarick ?" Asked Narberal

"It ended well, but apparently there is some peoples who can cause problems if we are not warned"


Yes, I invented spells and skills, but we don't know the extention of Guardians's powers and all of their abilities, but nevermind.

Also it seems to be a problem when cocytus talk, but he said firstly than unlike Albedo they can't teleport like her, and his attack is called [stalagmite rise]
