The Familia's Strongest Fighting Force

Night silently blanketed the entire sky, plunging the whole Labyrinth City into darkness. Only the glow of magic stone lamps flickered in every corner, lending the scene an unexpectedly beautiful air.

Orario at night was always livelier than it was during the day, especially in places like taverns, which were far more bustling after dark.

During the day, adventurers had to enter the Dungeon, outwit monsters, and risk their lives in battle, so nighttime was their only chance to unwind.

Some drank to relieve stress, some to celebrate their gains, and some simply because they had lived to see another day—adventurers spent their nights enjoying themselves, loudly boasting to friends or newly met drinking companions about their heroic deeds from the day. The clamor throughout the city lingered long into the night.

Yet today's uproar was destined to be greater than ever before.

This was because the biggest news from the Loki Familia, which had been the focus of the entire city ever since returning from its expedition, had already spread throughout Orario.

They had submitted their report to the Guild, officially reporting both their arrival at the 59th Floor, an unexplored region, and the level-ups of numerous members.

Among them were the level-ups of four people, news that shook not only the Guild but the entire city.

[Chopping Princess] Tiona Hiryute.

[Angry Snake] Tione Hiryute.

[Fierce Wolf] Bete Loga.

And Leo Eligos, who had only recently officially received the title of [Polar Star].

All four had achieved Level Ascension after this expedition, reaching Lv. 6.

Before the Guild could officially announce the news, the gods, ever eager for entertainment and constantly watching the Loki Familia's return, got wind of it first. In their frenzied excitement, they rapidly spread the news through the entire city, setting all of Orario ablaze
