Invincible under the heaven

After the last expedition, Tsukasa became the guide for this expedition. His ability to search for the shortest path with the least monsters was necessary. This ability's importance wasn't far from Riveria's high-input power and Finn's "danger intuition."

Blacksmiths from the Hephaestus Familia were quite dumbfounded by how easy their path was on this expedition.

"Hey, was it so easy to walk in the dungeon?"

"Yeah, why does it feel like we're walking on the street on the surface?"

"It's so strange."

While it felt nice that their trip was easy, considering they brought many things to the dungeon, it was so easy that it was almost creepy. They didn't encounter many enemies and walked so easily like it was a stroll.

"Haha..."

The members of the Loki Familia only laughed and didn't say anything since they knew why they could walk so easily was because of Tsukasa.

When the members of the Hephaestus Familia were confused, they quickly understood what was happening when group one and group two gathered together.

"That person is...?"

"Isn't it obvious?"

After all, there was only one person who had such an appearance.

The appearance made their minds stop as if they saw an oasis in the middle of the desert.

"Kugayama Tsukasa..."

"So that's the "Supernova...."

"It's my first time seeing his face, but..."

They must admit this guy was really handsome!

"Oh? So that's the "Supernova"?" Tsubaki's eyes glowed, looking at Tsukasa with interest from behind. She looked at his face for a moment before her eyes darted toward the weapon that he held. "What a strange shape of the weapon. I wonder how he's going to use it."

On the other hand, Tsukasa really felt that this expedition to the 50th Floor wasn't much different from the stroll. He had also become a Level 6, and the "Initiative" he had chosen previously helped him more in searching the path in the dungeon.

'No, should it heighten my senses?'

Frankly, when he became a Level 6, he hesitated whether he should choose the "Chain Attack," "Initiative," or "Strong Body." However, he was more into a "Strong Body" since its effect was obvious, yet he didn't feel regret in choosing the "Initiative."

His fighting style was more into adaptability.

Depending on his enemies, he would fight by the most suitable method.

Still, he must admit that everyone could walk so easy and fast in the dungeon partly because they all believed in him.

While his skills were amazing, if no one believed in him, it would be too useless. However, every member of the Loki Familia believed in him and let him lead them.

Even Bete, who had the worst relationship with him, didn't say anything and just followed silently without saying anything. After all, their path was so easy. What was the point of complaining?

His result told everything.

It wasn't until a moment later that they came to the 49th Floor. Even if there weren't any escalators, they felt they had entered one. Still, as they came to this floor, the group of Fomoire attacked them again.

The number of this bipedal goat could even reach hundreds of them so easily.

While the blacksmiths were dumbfounded and couldn't move since it was their first time seeing so many monsters, after all, this scene was too shocking, and they weren't good at fighting, but even so, they held their weapons tightly, so it would give them peace of mind.

Finn also felt this situation was quite difficult. After all, they weren't alone, and they brought the members of the Hephaestus Familia. In other words, they were responsible for every life of the blacksmiths that came with them.

Whether Ais, Tiona, Tione, or Bete, they were ready for the fight.

Especially Tiona since her new weapon, Ganryuu, created by Tsukasa, was an amazing weapon. She trained her weapon when he left, using various forms of this weapon. Facing this group of monsters, she held it in the form of giant scissors.

Everyone, who saw it for the first time, especially the group of blacksmiths, was dumbfounded when they saw Tiona's weapon, wondering who had made it.

Even Tsubaki's eyes glowed in excitement.

Still, suddenly someone they didn't expect said something unexpected.

"Finn, can you let me handle all of them?" Tsukasa suddenly asked.

"......" Everyone.

"...Are you serious?" Finn asked speechlessly.

"I want to warm up before we go to the 59th Floor." Last time he didn't join everyone to go deeper since he stayed with Riveria. While he believed he could handle all the problems that he might face on the deeper floor, he wanted to prepare his body for the optimum condition. He wasn't sure what kind of opponents they would face. After all, so he wanted to be at his best.

"...Okay," Finn said after a moment of hesitation. Anyway, Tsukasa was in his Level 6, so it shouldn't be a problem for him to run away.

"Thanks." Tsukasa nodded, then said, "Ais, watch me."

Ais nodded gingerly and opened her eyes wide. She didn't even dare to close her eyes since she was afraid to miss anything. After all, even though it hadn't been confirmed, their relationship wasn't much different from a teacher and student.

Riveria sighed and said, "Be careful." However, she had already prepared her magic in case something happened.

"Don't worry. I won't do something stupid."

Tsukasa unsheathed his Drying Pole, and his aura suddenly changed. He was like a calm breeze, yet suddenly he became a raging tempest.

The Fomoire that came to destroy the group of adventurers was in horror. They didn't even have time to run away, and their bodies were chopped into several parts.

Tsukasa's blade wasn't much different from the scythe of the god of death. Each of his swings took the lives of tens of Fiomoire.

The cluster of the Fiomoire that reminded anyone of the sea slowly vanished, and their numbers kept decreasing at a speed that one couldn't imagine.

Everyone was in a daze and didn't know what to say.

Tsukasa was already using Edelweiss's swordsmanship where he could reach his maximum speed right in the beginning. His steps were like a mirage where he would vanish and impossible to be hit.

A combination of Formless and Edelweiss swordsmanship was shown at the time.

Then, it wasn't until a minute later that all the monsters disappeared, leaving only a drop of the magic stones on the ground.

"...This is Kugayama Tsukasa."

While the Blacksmiths from the Hephaestus Familia were in a daze, the members of the Loki Familia also weren't much different since they didn't expect him to be so strong. Still, they were full of excitement, and their eyes were brightened.

Ais couldn't even look away, and her eyes had been glued to him.

Tsukasa sheathed his blade with a "click" before he let out a gentle breath. This might seem easy, but he must admit that the expedition was fun. Still, his body was already hot, and he was ready for the next adventure that he was going to face.
