Third Person POV
Orario.
...
...
All members of the Hestia family and Xenos were teleported far from the explosion as the whole place trembled in the next moment with Lucius's explosion.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM
"Lucius!!" Cassandra shouted.
Everyone looked with stunned eyes as they felt everything shake while the explosion echoed around the place.
"Lu-Chi..." Lyd murmured, stunned, and looked at the Xenos around him, some injured, others not even moving, but many still fine thanks to Lucius's healing and his unexpected teleportation.
"Damn. We must go back there!" Gros exclaimed.
"Yes, let's go!" Erebus quickly got up with his enormous body and started running.
"Come on, Lucius needs us." Bell shouted as all the family members ran down the corridor again, wanting to find Lucius and see if he was okay.
Ryuu quickly moved ahead with her Stealth status, swiftly passing through the corridor to the other room while seeing Lucius strike Dix, sending him flying backward and crashing into one of the walls at that moment.
"Lucius!" Ryuu shouted to him as Lucius briefly looked back at her.
"We need to get out of here, there's a Xenos gone mad in the middle of the forest, I need to catch her before everyone kills her." He said as he approached the lever that Dix had pressed before and pulled it, starting to open a hatch in the ceiling.
"Yes..." Ryuu murmured.
"Lucius, are you okay?" The rest of the group arrived, with Aisha being the next after Ryuu along with the Xenos, Bell, and the others.
"I'm fine, Haruhime... But I don't have time to explain, there was a caged Xenos that Dix drove mad, she's in the city, we need to help her." Lucius spoke again without explaining more details and as soon as the hatch opened, he used teleportation, disappearing.
"A Xenos?!" Lyd was surprised by this; some Xenos had died in this fight, but he had to lament about it later.
"Let's go, we must help!" Lyd said as the Xenos quickly nodded.
Bell looked at his family who nodded and quickly advanced with the Xenos.
Meanwhile, in the city, everything still seemed quite unusual that night, and it worsened when a monster's scream was heard from a part of the city.
"What is that?!" A nearby resident who was outside his house, looking for answers to the tremors and explosion happening, heard that bestial roar.
"OOHHHHH!" Suddenly a shadow emerged from one of the streets with people running in the middle of the slum.
"A monster!"
"We have to flee, where did that thing come from in the middle of the city?!"
"Call the guild or the adventurers!"
People began to shout while trying to escape the enraged Vouivre in her bestial form, with her destroying some stalls while trying to attack anything in her path.
"What are those screams?" A demihuman with a good addition was still at Dionysus's old base that was destroyed when he started hearing screams in the distance.
"What do you mean?" Shakti asked, confused, looking at him while the guild staff seemed unaware.
"There are people calling for help in the slum area, I'm hearing several screams!" He exclaimed while both the adventurers of the Ganesha Familia and other present families.
"It's true..." Bete also managed to hear while looking at the indicated side.
"Let's see." Finn nodded and said as the others nodded.
"It looks like a monster in the city!!" Tiona said while jumping from buildings, hearing the screams in the distance, while the Amazon was listening better.
"..." Aiz said nothing while moving forward until she blew up a roof below her, flying even faster than the others.
"Wait, Aiz!" Riveria tried to shout to her, but the blonde shot ahead.
The beast was rampaging, destroying many places that would be the market of countless people there, while roaring and sweeping her tail through everything.
"Let's go." Lucius said as the hatch finally opened and he flew out to the place where chaos had already been created.
He continued rising into the air and flying towards that street. There was a woman lying on the ground while the Xenos was enraged, her tail about to hit the woman but suddenly the space around her began to distort, with Lucius arriving and using his gravity magic as he approached.
He created a time bubble around the fallen woman and teleported her 50 meters away to a safe area.
"Calm down!" Lucius pleaded while still trying to keep the Xenos under his control. She was writhing entirely as she tried to break free from his grip. He activated his charged magic ability and cast the gravity magic with both hands pointed, while the Xenos seemed to finally yield.
"A Vouivre?" Aiz approached, seeing the creature being contorted by Lucius.
"What is this... a Vouivre? Why is Lucius Drakenar here and trying to contain her... and not attacking her?" Tione appeared along with most of her family, looking strangely at the scene.
"Why is he here with a monster that should be in the dungeon?" Riveria was very confused about his presence here after all the strange things happening in the city, with him blowing up a Dionysus family headquarters, which ultimately worked for Evilus. Then he fled to the dungeon before strange tremors began below Orario, and now he was here with a rampaging monster trying to keep it from hurting anyone.
"Lu-Chi!" Lyd arrived at this moment along with other Xenos and the family while more and more adventurers appeared on the rooftops. Everyone was shocked by monsters wearing armor appearing alongside other adventurers. Lucius frowned; after all, he had two choices because he knew this wouldn't end well.
Meanwhile, inside Knossos, Dix began coughing as he started to get up from the ground. He was trying to recover from the last blow that hit him squarely and was in immense pain in his chest.
"I need to get out of here." He murmured while looking at the other bodies on the ground and saw someone getting up.
"Marqy, you're alive!" He said as he approached his companion.
"I feel terrible, do you have a healing potion?" Marqy said while getting up.
"Ahhh, what a headache!"
"Yes, a lot of headache!"
The twins, Dina Dis and Vena Dis, began to wake up at this moment while many others were doing the same, getting up with their bodies sore from the battle.
"That damned wizard!" Valletta couldn't help but exclaim angrily.
"What did he do!?" Another said angrily, and other voices began to awaken at that moment.
"You didn't see, he trapped us before detonating us!"
"How did he do that, it's impossible!"
"I can't move!"
"Give me a potion!"
They continued complaining while Dix helped the stronger ones. "Take this, I managed to distract them. We have some time; we need to leave and return to the dungeon, it's the best choice." He informed those on the ground.
"You're awake!"
"Finally!"
"..."
"Where's the crazy wizard?!"
The four gods finally approached after coming out of their hiding place with the explosion Lucius caused. Thanato, Apate, and Alecto did not have very good expressions on their faces, and Ikelos remained silent.
"He's outside, it looks like all the enemies are outside, and we have some time to escape, we can't fight like this anymore..." Dix informed.
"Alright, let's get out of here..." The dwarf, Marqy, said after feeling better with the potion.
"Now you..." Dix said, grabbing more potions to give to the remaining level 4 and 5 adventurers.
But suddenly, footsteps began to emerge from the darkness of the corridor leading to the dungeon, making Dix and the others look to that side immediately.
"What is that...?" They wondered as the footsteps grew louder with a figure emerging from the shadows, growing as it entered the room, revealing itself to be a huge Minotaur carrying a sword. This was none other than Asterius, attracted by the scent of the other Xenos, having found some of his companions on the ground, killed by these groups of adventurers, after all, Asterius could smell their blood.
"You killed them..." Asterius spoke with a threatening tone.
"Who is this Xenos?!" The Evilus members quickly felt a fear from this Xenos that surpassed any other.
"He's dangerous..." Another exclaimed, stepping back with everyone frowning and even the gods feeling fear.
"I will kill you all." Asterius spoke again with anger, while preparing to fight against all those groups. Asterius was a level 7 Minotaur, and even though he was infested and surrounded by levels 4 and 5, they were all quite injured and tired from the last battle.
"What is he thinking... Hm?!" Gran, a level 4 adventurer from the Ikelos Familia, said before noticing the Minotaur above him, swinging his sword and cutting off his head.
"Prepare for battle!" The other members of Evilus shouted while Asterius was already killing the second member, with his companions running back.
Asterius was in a bestial rage, his eyes turning red. He would not leave anyone alive as he began advancing against his enemies, with them falling one by one.
Meanwhile, at the entrance of Rivira, people were trying to understand what that previous tremor was, which shocked the entire floor beyond the surface.
But what they didn't know was that an enormous black figure emerged from the entrance of the thirty-ninth floor, exploding the entrance due to being larger than its body, and it stepped onto that floor.
Juggernaut looked at the city in the distance, sensing numerous lives. 'I must kill them...' he thought as he took his first steps but stopped suddenly. 'No, I must first destroy the target that led my mother to create me.' He said to himself and began to follow the scent of the power that Lucius had unleashed, heading towards the forest of that floor, moving towards the entrance of Knossos and entering there, heading towards what everything indicated was the city itself, Orario.
