Quest 42

At the base of Babel, the Guild was trying their best to keep the situation contained.

"Please, everyone, step back!"

"Come on, we can help too!!" shouted a level 1 adventure.

"Yeah!"

"Yeah! That's right!!"

"P-please do—!!"

From up ahead, a small adventure with a deer mask and golden antlers appeared from the sky, landing in the plaza.

"Someone! Get him he stole my sword!!" shouted an adventurer.

"S-sir please-!"

Before the Guild Employee could finish talking, he had already left, heading to the dungeon with a speed that was of a level 4.

In the crowd of adventures, a few left the group.

"Did you see that?" said one of them.

"Yeah! Yeah! Golden antlers! Those must be the guy who made so much trouble for us in Solingen and in Varga!" said the other.

"We must go tell Lady Alecto!"

"Yeah! There must be others in the crowd as well! We can't be late in delivering her this news!"

1st floor of the Dungeon.

"Hold the line!!!" shouted Finn.

"Fwip! Fwip!" Riveria fires off arrows at the monsters.

"Theirs too many Finn! When is the Freya Familia going to come and help!!" shouted Gareth.

"I don't know!! But this must have been done by Evilus! So they could be dealing with something back in the city!"

"Dammit! Riveria! Can't you use a spell!!" shouted Gareth.

"I can't! I don't have the breathing room to Fwip! Fwip! Fwip!"

"Shut up and keep cutting them down!" shouted Bara, an Amazoness.

"Yes, this is a good experience!" shouted Dain, a dwarf. "Gareth! Put more spirit into it!!"

"Yes, sir!!!!!"

"Finn! Send some people to the left! They're pushing us back there!" said Noir, a human.

Several of the Loki Familia and a few of the adventurers that came to help were pushing the monster's back. It was a never-ending horde.

"We could really use an ace up our sleeves for thi—" as Finn was talking, he spotted a streak of gold and white go across his eyes as did the others.

Shing!

Shing!

Shing!

Shing!

Like a beam of light through the darkness, this person cut through the monsters with such speed and strength that it amazed even the veteran adventures.

"Tch, dull already."

Cirrus throws the dull blade at the monsters as he kicks up a sword left by a dead adventurer with a white owl on his antlers.

"Nox." He muttered under his voice.

As he said those words, Nox filled the area in a blindly white light that stopped both adventurers and monster's.

"(Exousía, Adorn: Erymanthian)."

As the light dimmed, the adventurers spotted a mage's circle disappearing, leaving only in place of the holy-looking deer with a savage wild boar.

"RAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

With great speed and ferocity, Cirrus charged forth, crushing anything in his way, much like his appearance of a raging beast.

"Let's go!!!!!!!' shouted Bara. "They turned the tide don't let it turn again!!"

"Uraaaa!!!!!!!!!!!"

With Cirrus leading the charge, they pushed back the monsters.

Two hours later.

As Cirrus overlooked, the area filled with monster bodies of the Loki Familia approached him.

"Thanks for the help," Finn said.

"Yes, your help was what we needed to turn the tide." Said Noir.

"… No problem." Cirrus then tosses the sword to the side. "I will be on my way."

"Wait there, boy." Said Bara. "Can we at least get a name?"

"My name is Zephyr, and we will be meeting each other, eventually."

"What does that—!!"

Another blinding light hits their eyes and as it dims, he has his deer mask on.

"Goodbye."

Before they could even try Cirrus had left with such speed, they caught him as a blur of white and gold.

News quickly spread within the city of this adventurer who assisted the Loki Familia and their appearances, paired with the rumors of a Golden-Horned Demon in Shalzard.

Fear and anger festered in some members of Evilus. Now that they were in the city, they gave him a bounty.
