Review Answer:
Sei Urahara55: like I said from chapter 1 some of series will are native of Danmachi world. So the character from Sword Art Online show up here are native of Danmachi world.
KAKYOINOVERHEAVEN: no Fate character sorry, I plan to do seperated story.
Maximum Rhapsody: No Fate character, I will think about RWBY character, for Bell harem , I want to get him a lot girl but had to wait as the story continue.
In the early morning of the city of Orario, before the morning dew could even have a chance to settle, the sounds of combat could be heard from the Izanami's Familia's housing. One of Orario's newest Familia's to have been formed where their members were sparring and training.
As such in the case with Bell who was sparring with Shinobu who calmly and professionally used her blade against Bell to push him on the defensive as she sidestepped every attempt to hit her or calmly blocked it with her blade. The sheer experience differences between Shinobu and Bell showed as she calmly and easily pushed Bell on the defensive as he couldn't even think of a way to counterattack.
"You must keep calm in the face of combat, Bell." Shinobu scolded lightly as she quickly thrusted with her sword, with Bell barely catching it, as it forced him back. Bell could only nod as he quickly went of the offensive again and tried to beat down Shinobu as she mentored him in the arts of combat. "If your breath cannot be calm then you cannot use any of the Breathing Styles properly." Shinobu lectured as she continued on as she made multiple attacks on his person. "Conquer your fear and your Breath will never waver, Breathing Styles requires air, but to use them in combat requires courage, a brave person is a good person, courage is a marvel to those who know fear and thus they can become better." Shinobu finished as she delivered a roundhouse kick to Bell and knocked him to the ground.
"I…under…stand." Bell panted out as he was completely covered in sweat and rather exhausted.
"I believe we should stop for now." Shinobu replied as she sheathed her blade before checking on Bell.
"I thought I would be able to get further." Bell sighed as Shinobu finished treating him.
"You have improved." Shinobu said as Bell looked up to her. "At the start, your Breath was calm and you were able to counter me more than a couple of times. But when I speed up and attacked from multiple directions, you faltered." Shinobu answered.
"Your sudden change in tone and prowess took me off guard and made me nervous." Bell said sheepishly.
"You must always be prepared to adapt on the battlefield Bell." Shinobu lectured. "The battlefield is much less orderly and far more chaotic. You must adapt otherwise you will die." She said as Emma was sent flying past them, but Emma managed to control herself midair and landed on the wall before launching herself off and aimed straight at her opponent but failed as Akame grabbed her arm and sent her crashing into the ground, causing her to moan in pain.
"I thought I got you that time." Emma groaned.
"It was a good tactic." Akame acknowledged as she offered a hand as Emma took it.
"Seems Emma has improved." Shinobu noted as she went to check on her.
"But I haven't landed a hit on Akame though." Emma said glumly.
"You did stand your ground, and even then, you still have a long way to go like Bell." Akame replied.
"I know." Emma sighed as Asuna was sent landing down on the ground in front of them.
"And like that, that's all of them." Shinobu said as she went to check up on her.
"You didn't have to hit me that hard." Asuna groaned as she had a bruise on her right cheek.
"Oh, quit being a baby." Velvet retorted as she came in and rolled her eyes.
"When Bell sparred with you, you hit him hard enough to knock him out completely, and with Emma you hit her so badly she couldn't even say anything." Asuna groaned.
"I guess that means I haven't hit you hard enough then." Velvet answered with a gleam in her eyes as she cracked her knuckles as Asuna yelped in fear and crawled away from her quickly.
"Now, now Velvet, no need to terrify our newest member." Shinobu intervened. "Besides, as a doctor I cannot allow you to harm one of my patients."
"Fine then, but I will be hitting her harder during training, as they say, no pain no gain." Velvet said dismissively.
"What kind of Familia did I end up getting myself into?" Asuna moaned to herself.
"The best kind." Velvet smirked. "You got an Assassin, Demon Slayer, Reaper, Witch, Demon, and a large Robot."
"I'm still not sure that Honda is a robot like you said." Akame noted as she stared at Honda who was sitting in the gardens watching them while butterflies seem to land and fly on him.
"Well you did see him eat though." Shinobu commented.
"Please don't remind me." Akame shivered suddenly. "It was so shocking to see."
"Well he's part machine for sure." Velvet shrugged as Asuna sighed as she thought about her current situation.
A week has gone by since Asuna has joined the Izanami Familia, and Asuna had been filled in on the secrets about most of the members being Drifters, she was skeptical at first, but then Izanami confirmed it to be true. Then Asuna didn't know what to think or believe in really, but hearing that most of the Drifters were at one point, warriors does explain their skills a lot.
"Thank you, but did you really have to be that hard?" Asuna asked.
"You most get strong otherwise the Dungeon will kill you, remember how dangerous the first day was?" Velvet reminded her as Asuna winced at all the possible times she could have died, which opened her eyes and made her realize she needed a lot of training.
"You're right." Asuna agreed. "I need to get stronger if I want to continue as an Adventurer." She said in determination.
"That's the spirit." Velvet said approvingly. "And right now, you're all here so you can spar with me." Velvet said as the three rookies groaned as they knew what was coming next for them, a beatdown from Velvet.
"Don't worry Asuna, we'll be there, we're a Familia after all." Bell said encouragingly as Asuna smiled and nodded.
"Ara, you're a smooth talker at times Bell." Shinobu noted with a smile.
Bell's face turned a bit red. "No, I'm not." He mumbled. "When I talk to pretty girls, I get nervous so I remember what gramps use to say and try to say something encouraging so they smile." He answered as Asuna blushed at the pretty compliment.
"And I am not surprised that old man tried to make him a smoot talker." Velvet sighed as she rubbed her face a bit.
"Everyone! Breakfast is ready!" Izanami called out as all of them stopped their training to get some food now, one thing they could all agree on was that hunger is the enemy and that Ragna's food tasted awesome.
"And how did they all do today?" Nine questioned as she ate her meal.
"They're all improving rather quickly, Bell faster than most, but I believe to be related to his Skill." Shinobu answered.
"That's a very powerful Skill you got there." Asuna complained a bit.
"Yeah." Emma pouted a but as Bell laughed a bit nervously as he remembered the night, he got his Skills.
"Now that's interesting." Nine hummed as she looked at Bell's Skills.
Hero's Legacy: Fast growth as long as feelings last. The strength of the effects corresponds with the level of the user's feelings. As a side effect it makes the user immune to charms.
"So, what does that mean then?" Ragna asked as he couldn't see what was going on.
"I believe that this Skill allows Bell to gain more power easily, and based on the name, it has something to do with your parents." Nine theorized as she turned to Bell.
"…After Ezekiel told me what kind of people my parents were and where they come from…I want to be able to live up to their levels, carry on their legacy, and become a hero like I dream of becoming like my grandpa told me." Bell said seriously.
"And I assume that has something to do with your other Skill, Heroic Desire." Ragna noted as he sighed. "You wanted to become a Hero so badly that it became a Skill?" He muttered.
Bell turned red at that. "Well I think it's fitting for him, after the Argonaut is a very important tale for Bell." Emma pointed out as she had spent time with Bell and he revealed to her his desire of becoming a Hero due to listening to that story.
"Oh? I suppose it must have been an Epic of sorts?" Nine questioned with interest.
"It's more of a comedy tale." Asuna corrected. "It tells the story of a clueless boy who wants to become a hero, but is easily tricked by people, and instead of saving the queen the queen saved him at the end." Asuna said with a smile.
"Well that's different from most stories." Shinobu smiled.
"Not every woman needs a knight in shining armor to save them." Akame commented on. "Must have embarrassed the guy though." She added in.
"He doesn't really sound like a Hero to me in all honesty." Velvet added in her thought.
"I believe him to be a guy that wants to be heroes but is more the fool that's surrounded by actual heroes." Asuna added in.
"Please stop." Bell pleaded as he was so embarrassed by what was being said about his idol, and by extension, him.
"Please don't embarrass Bell over it." Izanami scolded lightly. "You shouldn't underestimate the tale, since stories like those are what grabbed the curiosity and attention of Gods to begin with, thus starting our descent." She explained.
"Guess I will have to check out the story when I can." Nine noted. "Wonder what the Second Skill does?"
Bell looked. "Says it charges up an active action…and that's pretty much it." He sighed.
"Hmm…it sounds as though it powers up your attacks." Izanami said. "For example, if you try charging a sword swing, it might make the effect stronger or maybe it'll let you fire an even stronger spell as well."
"Is that so?" Bell asked, looking down at his hand wondering what he could do with it.
"Well, you won't know for sure until you go down in the Dungeon and try it yourself." Izanami explained gently.
"At least you can understand your Skills, I can't." Emma sighed.
"Don't worry Emma, you'll find out soon enough." Izanami said reassuringly.
"With the first Skill I suppose Bell will level up faster now." Akame noted.
"Only in the Stats department." Izanami reminded her. "It takes a great deal of effort to truly Level up."
"So even if Bell gets stronger, he has to do something notable to level up." Shinobu hummed as she thought about it.
"It sounds useful but that Skill could also easily turn on him as well, because it could make challenges less challenging and thus less impressive." Velvet noted.
"Experience matters, even if you're physically superior or magically superior, all of that means nothing without the experience to back them up." Ragna added in as Nine nodded.
"That's why Levels are important." Nine said. "And why I won't let any of you greenhorns advance further until you gained the experience."
"Understood." Asuna, Bell, and Emma said.
"It's a good thing Izanami knows how to hid our Falna." Akame commented.
"I had asked Hephaestus and Goibniu to do that." Izanami said. "I heard that Apollo and Ishtar can be rather…pushy." Izanami said hesitantly as everyone noticed that.
"But Bell was rejected by the Apollo Familia though?" Emma pointed out.
"That doesn't mean he won't gain an interest, once someone catches his interest, he will pursue them at all cost, even starting War Games for it." Izanami shook her head.
"War Games?" Asuna asked.
"A way for Familias can settle disputes with one another without resorting to all out war." Izanami explained.
"We can take them." Ragna said confidently as Nine, Akame, and Velvet nodded in agreement.
"Please don't." Izanami pleaded. "We've already gained a lot of attention and I don't want to attract more from the Guild."
"What do you mean?" Velvet asked.
Izanami looked at all of them with her first flat look making all of them kind of nervous. "How many Adventurers do you know of that could go down to the Twelfth Floor on their first day?" She asked them.
"Not many?" Nine said somewhat sheepishly.
"Indeed, many in the Guild have thought that I brought falsified information to them and I had to talk with them a lot, so while a lot of them are suspicious, thankfully they can't move against us." Izanami sighed.
"From the way you put it, I thought they would have been more aggressive." Nine replied.
"Moving against any Familia is a very risky business, not only do you have to find evidence, fact check it, also check with the other paperwork, as well as the fact that Familias are entitled to their secrecy, makes it a very complicated piece of work." Izanami explained. "And if you accuse someone without sufficient proof or evidence, the punishment can be very strict and harsh."
"I see, so it's generally a last resort of sorts." Velvet hummed.
"Yes, and I ask that you all please keep your head down, to avoid any of the bigger Familia's notice, I'm just glad that Freya isn't in right now." Izanami sighed.
"And what about Loki?" Ragna asked having heard of that Familia as being rather strong.
"Loki's reasonable." Izanami replied.
"Very well, we'll stay in the first eighteen Floors for now, but we will go further down once Bell, Emma, and Asuna get better." Nine replied.
"Best I could hope for then." Izanami nodded as she changed subjects. "Now what's needed to renovate our home." Izanami said.
Nine took out their funding book and looked through it and cross referenced it with the pricing. "Cost about three million Valis to do so, but we'll need five million to pay back Izanami's friend as well." Nine reported.
"Can we even pay for that?" Bell pointed out skeptically.
"If we could have gone down further, we could have done it rather quickly in about two to four weeks, but with Izanami's request, that will take a bit longer now." Nine replied. "Perhaps we can take you guys down at the end of the month."
"That's a good idea." Izanami nodded. "Maybe you can split the Familia into two teams with one to take on newer recruits and stay on the upper levels while the second team can go down further." She suggested.
"Good idea." Nine nodded. "Alright then, Drifters will go down further while the Rookies take on the Upper Floors."
"That works with me." Ragna answered as Akame, Velvet, and Shinobu nodded.
"Alright then, so for today, Ragna, Akame, and Velvet will go down deeper, as Shinobu has her lessons and Honda can stay to watch and assist Izanami, while Bell, Emma, and Asuna train themselves in the Upper Floors. I need to do some research." Nine said as everyone nodded.
"You learn rather fast Shinobu." Miach praised as he looked over her potion.
"I had a good teacher." Shinobu replied with a smile as she looked towards Naaza who nodded.
"Still, to learn how to make high class healing potions like that in such a short time is amazing." Miach praised. "You have a gift for the healing arts."
"FU-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA, I'm coming in!" A loud voice rumbled the room, as the door is kicked off its hinges. "You got my money for this month, Mii-ahh-chhh?" A middle-age God with graying hair and a beard wearing a white robe with intricate gold embroidery said in a playful tone as he appeared in the doorway. Behind him stood a girl of short height wearing a white and blue uniform complete with a tiny hat on her head.
"Dian…!" Miach muttered with a rather bitter expression on his face.
"I dragged myself all the way out here because you never showed up. Be grateful, you ruined beggar, bwahahahahahaha!" The other God laughed out.
'So that is Dian Cecht.' Shinobu thought in disgust as one minute in hearing him, found him rather repulsive.
"I see your shop is just as dusty as always! Got to make this a quick visit, as being here too long going to make me sick! Oh, I see misery loves company! Hosting some more beggars so you won't get lonely?!" Dian Cecht asked mockingly as he glanced over toward Shinobu before promptly dismissing her and turning back to Miach. "Well, Miach? Where's my money?"
"It's-" Miach began but was cut off with another laugh.
"Guess you still don't have it even after I gave you an extension after the last extension!" Dian Cecht shouted boisterously. "But I'm all out of goodwill! Have the money by tomorrow or I'll take your home to cover your debt!" He threatened.
"What!?" The eyes of both Miach and Naaza widened in disbelief at Dian before Miach protested that. "You can't do that!"
"Yes, I can. After all, who was it again that helped your poor Familia member when you came begging on your knees?" Dian said smugly as Miach twitched in anger while Naaza visibly winced from behind the counter, rubbing her right arm. Miach had to use every ounce of his willpower to not tackle the god in front of him for that low blow. "Well, I better be going. If I stay here any longer, I might just get sick from how rundown this place is. See you later!" And with that, Dian laughed as he left the shop.
"Do you guys not have any money to give him?" Shinobu asked in worry.
"No." Miach sighed. "We have enough money this month. But I use to ask him for extensions in past when we didn't have enough money so he assumed this to be one of those times."
"But this is the first time he threated to take our home." Naaza said quietly. "I think he's doing that to add salt to the injury."
"…If I killed Dian Cecht using poison, will anyone notice?" Shinobu asked thinking about it with a dark expression.
"Wait! Shinobu what are you talking about?" Naaza yelped in panic as she looked at the girl with wide eyes.
"You're right." Shinobu nodded as she clapped her hands. "I should use a knife so they won't track it down to me." Shinobu said with a nod.
"Don't do that Shinobu." Miach sighed. "If you do that it will cause no end of trouble for your Familia." He said as she deflated.
"Still I don't like the way he treated you." Shinobu muttered.
"The two of us never got along, even in Heaven. It only got worse when we came down to the lower world and set up rival business but then…" Miach replied with a long sigh.
"…Then I ruined everything…" Naaza jumped in when Miach's voice trailed off. "I also used to go into the Dungeon like all of you…until I messed up…got beaten by a monster…and had my right arm eaten by it." She said as Shinobu's eyes widened at that, she had heard what happened from Argo and Naaza rolled up her right sleeve that was longer than her left, revealing a completely silver arm made of smooth metal that seemed to act just like a regular arm.
"So, this is a prosthetic limb." Shinobu said with Naaza nodded.
"Lord Miach got it for me after I lost my arm…it's from the Dian Cecht Familia. He practically begged them. Aside from selling potions, they also take custom orders from adventurers and make special items to help their customers. This Airgetlám, or 'Silver Arm,' is one of them."
"And you Familia members left after they heard about the debt?" Shinobu asked.
"Yes" Miach nodded "They had every right to since I didn't tell anyone about it and I didn't stop them. Only Naaza stayed behind."
"Me and a massive loan…" Naaza growled…her voice filled with self-loathing. "I can't even fight monsters anymore…I just freeze up so all I can do is help make potions after spending six years to reach Level 2 and getting the Synthesis Development Ability."
"EH!? You're Level 2?!" Shinobu shouted in surprise. "I never realized that…"
"As I said it doesn't matter…I can't fight monsters anymore so it's useless on me. Everything we owe to that stuck up moron is my fault…" Naaza said tearfully.
"Naaza." Naaza looked like she was going to continue berating herself but Miach silenced her by simply calling out her name kindly as a heavy silence filled the room.
"So, who was the girl go with Dian Cecht?" Shinobu asked as she changed the subject.
"That's Airmid Teasanare, Pride of the Dian Cecht Familia." Miach replied.
"So that's the Dea Saint." Shinobu hummed. "She looked nice and polite, unlike her God." She said that last bit with contempt.
"How someone like her end up with Dian, I don't even know." Miach sighed. As the rest of the day Shinobu continued her lessons with the Miach Familia while thinking ways of how to help them. They are nice people and don't deserve this but selling potions like this will take a long time to settle the debt, the fastest way to make money is go to the Dungeon but Naaza can't fight thanks to her trauma. Maybe she will ask Lady Izanami or Nine, for an idea perhaps.
Bell quickly dodged the attack from the War Shadow before thrusting his sword at the monster's eyes and killing it as Bell took a quick moment to breath.
"That's the last one." Emma called out as she took the Magic Stone from the Killer Ant she killed before the corpse began to dissipate into black mist and returned back into the dungeon.
"Let's take a moment to rest." Asuna sighed out as she moved away from a Frog Shooter corpse. As the group then found a room free of monsters and began to sit down and took out the food that Ragna prepared for them. "I have to admit that Ragna's a very good cook." Asuna sighed in joy as she enjoyed her sandwich.
"Yeah, you're lucky that you're not eating Izanami's food." Emma shuddered as did Asuna as she saw an example of Izanami's cooking, how it ended up censored she will never know. "Never did figure out how Shinobu can eat it."
"I think that's due to one of her Skills." Bell offered out as a theory which Emma nodded in acceptance since it does make sense.
"Drifters have some really weird Skill." Asuna said.
"But they are amazing right?" Bell said with a smile as the other two nodded. "They took out the Floor Boss last week with ease."
"I heard about that, in order to kill it, you need to be at least a high Level 1 or Level 2 and you need a reliable group to help you." Asuna pointed out.
"And yet they kill it with ease, not even looking tired for the most part." Emma pointed out.
"Remember Eina's reaction when she heard that?" Asuna pointed out as they all remembered her reaction to that.
"Nine, can I ask you something." Eina said with no emotion in her voice.
"What is it?" Nine asked.
"Is that a Goliath Magic Stone?" She questioned sharply.
"Well yes, it was kind of weak all things considered." Nine shrugged.
"I see, so my eyes weren't deceiving me then." She said quietly.
"Honda could carry it with ease." Nine added in.
"And what about Bell, Emma, and Asuna?" Eina then asked.
"They're still in the Upper Floors working on the Fourth and Fifth Floor." Nine replied.
"I see then." Eina said as she went back to work as Nine raised an eyebrow at her.
"You're very calm about this." She pointed out.
"After the ridiculous amount of Records, you and your Familia broke, I stopped caring." Eina snapped. "And so, I decided this is better for my health."
"I think Eina's mind broke that day." Emma said in thought.
"Yeah, it did in my opinion." Asuna nodded "At least she acts normal around us."
"I think it's because the three of us are considered normal compared to others." Bell pointed out.
"I don't think she'll consider you normal with your Skill." Asuna pointed out in return. "You are now about middle of level 1 in terms of stats, right?"
"Yes I am." Bell said as he let out an awkward laugh.
"I'll say it again, You Skill is absolutely broken." Emma huffed. "I still haven't even activated my Skill yet."
"Maybe you need to find the right desire for yourself." Asuna pointed out. "Like Bell's Argonaut, he had to think about heroism to activate it." It's kind of surprised them to see how the attack happened when Bell kicked a Goblin as it was sent flying into the wall with at high speed.
"My desire," Emma said thoughtfully.
"If you find out what you truly want or desire then maybe the Skill can activate." Asuna offered.
"I'm sure that you'll find out soon enough." Bell said kindly "If not. then me and Asuna will help you out."
"Thank you." Emma said gratefully as they all ate on with Emma thinking about her desire.
"You know, I'm surprised at how quick people are to adapt to one of your newest children." Hestia said as she gave Izanami a snack as Izanami sat in a chair next to Honda standing there as still as a statue.
"It did take a week and him not doing anything to hurt them to get them used to him." Izanami pointed out.
"Remember the first time you brought him here?" Hestia said with a grin as Izanami laughed a bit as Hestia had a freak out and called for help as she thought Honda was a monster, it took her a long time to calm down with someone from the Ganesha Familia to help out.
"Hey Chibi! Izanami!" A female voice yelled out causing both Izanami and Hestia to look at the source with Hestia's twitching in anger. Said speaker was a woman with light red hair in a simple ponytail, with red eyes, wearing a shirt that showed off her stomach and jeans.
"What are you doing here Loki?" Hestia asked in annoyance.
"I'm bored so I came here, still selling food eh Chibi?" Loki smirked.
"So what? I have to support my Familia you know?" Hestia snapped.
"You have one now?" Loki questioned in surprise.
"Turns out putting out a notice with the Guild works better than asking random people, gained three children from it." Hestia said proudly. While Izanami was happy for her, but also sad that while she did that no one came, and it took Argo and Ezekiel's help to do so.
"Three children, poor kids." Loki said as she shook her head.
"What's that supposed to mean?!" Hestia yelled angrily.
"I mean they have to live in a rundown church and eat leftovers because their Goddess is so poor." Loki said as she mockingly wiped away a fake tear.
"We may not start off with the best of places or standing, but my Familia can still rise and we will get a new home." Hestia retorted.
"In your dreams Chibi." Loki sneered.
Izanami decided that those two needed to be stopped before they argued but seemingly in response to her intent, Honda got up and picked up the two Goddesses by the scruff of their collar, causing them to yelp as he separated them as Loki turned to see Honda and gasped at him.
"Holy crap, I heard rumors about a Giant becoming an Adventurer but he's one of yours, isn't he?" Loki stated.
"Yep, he's one of Nine Children that I have gained." Izanami said happily as Loki smiled more genuinely at her, she found Izanami to be very endearing and rather kind as well. "He can also fly?" She added in as Loki and Hestia looked at her with surprised eyes.
"For real?" Loki questioned.
"Of course, he did land in my garden form the sky and flying with him is amazing." Izanami said happily.
"Really?" Hestia said with a sweat drop.
"Really." Izanami nodded her head.
"Huh, call me interested then." Loki said as Honda put her on his shoulder as Izanami nodded at him. "Thanks Izanami."
"No problem and thank you Honda." Izanami said as she turned to him as he spoke in clocks, beeps, and whirs causing her to smile. "You are kind." She said happily.
"She can understand him." Both Hestia and Loki muttered under their breath as Honda sook took Loki out for a flight and at first, she was surprised but soon found herself whooping in excitement around the city.
"She's enjoying herself." Hestia noted.
"Do you wish to try?" Izanami asked as Hestia shook her head. "Suit yourself then." As Honda soon came back with Loki being excited as she could be.
"Dang Izanami you got an amazing Child there, wonder if he's related to a few rumors that I heard floating around the Guild." She commented.
"Floating rumors?" Izanami asked as she got a bad feeling.
"Yeah, one of them being is that a new Familia's group of Adventurers went all the way down to the Twelfth Floor on their first day." Loki said as Hestia's eyes widened at that.
"Actually, only my Captain and one of my other Children did that." Izanami corrected. "The others stated on the Upper Floors."
"Wait what?" Hestia muttered in disbelief. "Two new Adventurers made it to the Twelfth Floor?"
"Also, another rumor is that a group of Level 1 Adventurers killed a Floor Boss, a Goliath if I remember correctly in the next week." Loki continued.
"That was my Children as well." Izanami said reluctantly.
"What? A Goliath is a Floor Boss for a reason, no one so green could take them on!" Hestia yelped.
"My Captain wanted to test her strength since the typical Floor Mob Monsters were weak." Izanami sighed.
"Test her strength? Wow, just how strong are your Kids?" Loki couldn't help but ask.
"With the exception of three of my Children, everyone else, including Honda here could go down the Lower Levels without much trouble I imagine." Izanami said as both Hestia and Loki looked shocked at her.
"And you're their First God and they're Level 1?" Hestia soon asked as Izanami nodded.
"You know a great deal of many people won't believe that." Loki pointed out.
"I know, but unless they have proof, they won't do it, and if they do try something, they'll have to deal with me." Izanami said as she said it most seriously as her power, glowed a bit around her causing both Goddesses to shudder. Nice as she may be, there was a reason why Izanami is terrifying to those that truly do manage to anger her.
"…I see." Loki nodded eventually. "You know rumors fly fast around here in this city after all."
"Indeed, I'm just more worried about what Freya will do is all." Izanami sighed as the other two Goddesses nodded, Freya was rather fickle and hardly changed since she got down here.
"Well at least she's not in for now." Loki offered up.
"Very true, and so I will continue to wait for my Children to come back from the Dungeon and support them in however I can." Izanami said with a smile.
"Aye just trying to warn you is all, after all, we got some stuff in common." Loki said.
"You mean like a lack of frontal femininity?" Hestia bragged pushing up her chest, and this time, Izanami didn't stop Loki from trying to hurt her, she knew it was only directed at Loki but hearing it still made Izanami upset when she looked down at her own chest.
"I suppose this is enough for today." Ragna commented as he dropped another Magic Stone into his bag.
"Both mine and Akame's bags are full." Velvet called out.
"Got it, want to stop by Rivera for a drink before we head up?" Ragna asked.
"Sure." Both girls answered as they headed for the Eighteenth Floor, or better known as the Under Resort. The Floor was filled with crystals, large forests and lakes. Within the forest were blue crystals of different sizes that reflect the light from above, causing the forest to be filled with a pale blue glow. The exceptionally high ceiling is filled with brilliant shining crystals of two colors, white crystals in the center that resembled the sun, and blue crystals surrounding it that resembled the sky. The amount of light from the crystals depended on the time and cycles throughout the day. The Eighteenth Floor is a safety point where no monsters are born, though some monsters can come up from the Floor below and on this Floor existed a town name Rivera operated by Adventurers.
Soon the trio arrived at the city and entered a bar with Ragna and his companions taking a seat. "Hey Larry, mind getting us three beers?" He called out.
"Sure Ragna, been a while since I last heard from you." Larry nodded as he got out the three drinks.
"I last saw you about two days ago." Ragna deadpanned.
"Well your group is one of my main sources of income, so of course I worry." Larry shrugged as he passed them the beer.
"You're lucky I like the drink here." Velvet replied. "Otherwise I would never go this far for overpriced beer." She said as she took a gulp from her drink.
"Still got to make money you know?" Larry shrugged. "So which Floor are you staying at now?"
"Fifteenth and Sixteenth Floor, our Goddess worry about us." Ragna replied taking his own gulp.
"Well if I was sane, I would advise you guys to stay here, but you come up with that Goliath Magic Stone so I'll hold my words for now." Larry shrugged.
"Still got idiots who think we faked it?" Ragna asked as Larry nodded.
"And it's annoying since they're still paying customers." Larry grumbled.
"Still wished I could have faced it, since it was weak all things considered." Velvet muttered.
"You wanted to take a shot at it as well?" Ragna questioned as he raised an eyebrow as the former Lord of Calamity nodded. "Wait about two weeks then we can do it." He sighed.
"You guys are totally crazy." Larry laughed. "Most people would avoid a Goliath at your current Levels."
"So, you're here you Gods be damned Cheaters." An angry voice spoke up as the group turned to see an angry group of Adventurers.
"Not these assholes again." Ragna sighed as he turned to Akame and Velvet. "Whose turn is it?" He asked as Akame raised her hand. "Take it outside." He ordered as Akame nodded and walked off.
"Thanks, Ragna." Larry replied as he nodded back.
"You think they would have learned by now after what Nine did." Velvet muttered.
"I think some of them are fonder of the pain, and some of you girls are rather pretty." Larry offered out as a suggestion as he remembered some of the quality looking girls that the Izanami Familia had.
Soon they heard a man's voice scream as they saw that Akame broke the arm of the leader and bend it even more in the wrong direction as she was in a fight with the angry Adventurers and was winning.
"Still can't believe there are idiots trying to do this." Ragna muttered as he turned to Larry. "And I'm surprised you let us in here still."
"Fighting's normal around here." Larry shrugged. "Besides most of the idiots know you're good after beating a Level 3 Adventurer."
"Guy was just an idiot trying to act like top dog." Ragna scoffed.
"Yeah but he's also a good leader as well." Larry pointed out.
"Now if only he stopped looking at me and the other girls." Velvet scowled as he and Nine were subject to his ogling.
"With your body and how little you wear." Larry was about to say before Velvet brought up her Blade Gauntlet and a blade shot out, he shut up and understood the message.
"I see so Loki heard about the rumors." Nine nodded as everyone came back from their day and Izanami explained what she heard from Loki.
"If she has heard that much then others would have heard it as well." Izanami reminded her.
"The other Adventurers wouldn't go that far to hurt us, would they?" Bell asked nervously.
"Pretty sure they will." Ragna deflated his optimism. "They did try to pick a fight with us."
"Then that means Bell's group will have to go with one of us for protection then." Akame said.
"I'll go tomorrow, Honda will just continue to watch out for Izanami." Nine said as everyone nodded in agreement.
"There's also something else that I need to tell you about." Shinobu spoke getting everyone's attention as she explained the event at the shop as everyone scowled at Dian's actions.
"We should kill him." Akame said instantly.
"No murder." Emma said quickly.
"How about we pay off his debt?" Asuna offered.
" Dian Cecht will not agree to that." Nine pointed out.
"And Miach won't accept such an offer." Izanami reminded as well.
"There has to be some way to help them out." Bell muttered.
"How about taking Naaza as a Supporter?" Velvet offered up that idea as everyone thought about it and it did have merit.
"That could work, Naaza works as a Supporter and we give her half of our loot for her services." Nine said.
"You sure Naaza will accept that? She's afraid to go into the Dungeon again." Shinobu reminded her.
"We can do the fighting for her." Ragna pointed out. "So long as we do that, she can do this."
"Then we'll ask her tomorrow then and stay to the Upper Floors." Nine said as everyone nodded in agreement as they continued to eat their dinner. As Shinobu was in deep thought about how to help Miach and his Familia.
The Tenth to Twelfth Floors of the Dungeon is always covered in mist, it's very hard to see what's in there if you not careful, you could easily fall down. In addition, the glass on the Floor grows to rather tall heights, making them ideal hiding places.
Hence why a group of Adventurers were unaware they were being stalked and were slowly being surrounded. If anyone from the Group of adventurers seen the monsters, they would have identified it as a new being to the Floors. And the Monsters would have posed a serious threat to them as they stalked their prey and got close as they could but had no intentions of attack at once and instead plan to ward out the weakest among them and one by one, they will all die. Unaware of the that a new Monster made its home in the Floors.
Here come the next chapter. the new monster had show up in Dungeon and they are from Monster Hunter and there will be a enemy Izanami face in the next chapter. I gonner to give a easy fight first. No Elder Dragon, Brute Wyvern, Fanged Wyvern for now thought you can sure that Bell Floor Boss will be not a Goliath.
