Are You a Jinx?
He had just witnessed the coordinated attack from the "Loki Familia".
The sheer spectacle of its battle scenes was something even William rarely witnessed in modern armies.
The wood was burning in the fire, and the group of forty or fifty people sat huddled together, creating a truly spectacular scene.
Everyone held a cup in their hand, with a piece of roasted beef and a bowl of fragrant broth in front of them.
This is considered a tradition of the "Loki Familia"—every time they reach the 50th floor, they take out a portion of their supplies to hold a celebratory banquet.
Moreover, this is not just a happy and lively banquet, but also a selection meeting for exploring the deepest realms!
Although the main force is always the same few people, the support personnel change each time.
"So, to celebrate that we've all made it back to the 50th floor, let's raise a glass!"
Finn rose from his seat of honor, raised his glass, and spoke.
Cheers! *N
It's no wonder the members of the Familia were so excited; reaching level 50 without a single injury is a rare feat even within the Loki Familia.
Even a few years ago, when Ais and Bete were still level 4, several members of their Familia would die on every expedition.
The current smooth progress is due to two main reasons: firstly, the strength of the Familia is unprecedented, and secondly, the Familia members have already paved a relatively safe path with their own lives in the past few years.
"Now, there's something else quite important to announce!"
After everyone had taken a hearty drink, Finn cleared his throat and spoke again.
"Our goal for this expedition remains the same: to reach the floor that Orario has never reached before, the 59th floor."
"But before that, we need to complete the adventurer's quest to retrieve the 'Cadmus Spring' water from the 51st floor!"
"This request sounds like it's from the 'Dian Cecht Familia'."
Even the cheerful Tiona felt an uncontrollable dark aura spread out from behind her upon hearing the news.
"Tch! They gave us such a troublesome commission."
Bete couldn't help but frown and complain.
"In order to complete the mission quickly, I need to form two elite teams to collect water from the two springs."
Finn only spoke slowly after everyone's complaints had stopped.
Everyone listened quietly, waiting for Finn's assignment.
"The first group consists of myself, Gareth, Bete, and Raul as supporters."
"The second group consists of Ais, Tiona, Tione, and Lefia as supporters."
"We'll rest for a few hours and then set off immediately, aiming for a swift and decisive victory!"
After calling out names one by one, Finn turned his attention to Riveria.
"Riveria, you stay at the camp and protect everyone!"
Riveria didn't say anything, but simply nodded silently to indicate that he understood.
"And thank you so much, Ange and Alicia!"
Finn gave the two main fighters of the Second Regiment a few more instructions, and then turned his gaze to William.
"In case of any emergency, William, you will be in command of the Familia members!"

Despite it being late at night, the 50th floor was still as bright as day thanks to the reflection of the crystal.
William, carrying his long spear, inspected the various sentry posts in the camp. The guards around him noticed him and nodded in acknowledgment.
These changes in attitude all stemmed from Finn's words before he left.
"William, are you still up so late because you're too excited to sleep because of what the commander said?"
Ange leaped from the treetop to William's side and spoke to him.
"Who would get so excited about something like that that they can't sleep!"
Do you think I'm a child?!
William rolled his eyes at Ange, annoyed. The two of them often met when they were in the Familia, so they always joked with each other like this.
"Then why aren't you sleeping when you should be? Be careful you don't fall asleep while on duty and get a scolding from Lord Riveria!"
As Ange spoke, the cat ears on her head twitched, and her unadorned face, coupled with the lifelike black cat tail behind her, would drive any cat-girl-obsessed man completely mad if she went to modern society.
"If you let me touch your ears and tail, I'll tell you what to do!"
William said this to Ange half-jokingly, while pretending to reach his hand towards the top of Ange's head.
Snap!
"It's happening again, Ange, you're so stingy!"
William looked at the back of his hand, which was slightly red.
"It's your own fault for touching me inappropriately! I've already refused you so many times!"
Ange looked at William with displeasure. Although she didn't dislike William, the burning gaze he gave her whenever he looked at her ears and tail made her feel a little uncomfortable.
"Furthermore, the ears and tail are important sensitive spots for us Cat Person; only the closest people are allowed to touch them!"
Seeing William's slightly disappointed expression, Ange helplessly explained.
