Baili said this and prepared to go outside to take a look.
Faced with this unusual situation, Rias, Mai, and Asia didn't stay put; instead, they followed Hyakuri. (Read exciting novels at Feilu Novel Network!)
Hestia, like Hephaestus, was also considering whether she could contribute.
Upon arriving in the hall, Baili found Eina.
"Eina, is no one taking Miss Demeter's commission right now?"
"Not at the moment, Mr. Baili. The large clans just finished a small-scale expedition a few days ago and are all resting. As for Miss Demeter's request... the seventeenth floor is a middle floor, and there are many adventurers who can explore it. However, the rescue site is occupied by the floor boss Goliath, which is not something that ordinary adventurers can fight against."
In DanMachi, Goliath is a giant monster who is the master of the 17th floor. His regeneration cycle is about two weeks, and his strength is estimated to be Lv.
Orario is also rarely able to consistently suppress LV4 adventurers.
"What should I do...? Most of my clan members don't have high-level adventurers, and I myself..."
Demeter became anxious.
Just as Baili was about to speak, a voice came from behind him.
“We can accept that.”
Rias accepted the request at that time.
"Huh? Really?!"
As if she had seen a savior, Demeter quickly turned to Rias and the others.
Mai nodded
"Of course it's true."
"Please rest assured, Miss Demeter."
Asia gently reassured Demeter, telling her not to get agitated.
Then the girls looked at Baili, hoping to get his permission.
Although it was a fait accompli, Baili did not refuse.
"Then let's go check out the middle level, and then refresh the panel for you."
"Mr. Baili is indeed very understanding!"
Asia said, looking at Demeter again.
"Could we talk about the details on the way, Miss Demeter?"
The target floor is the seventeenth floor.
Therefore, after Rias and the other two accepted the request, Hyakuri took them to the Daedalus district.
The man-made maze in this neighborhood leads to the 18th level of the underground city.
The 18th floor is a safe floor where no monsters will spawn, and it is also home to Rivera, a town built by adventurers.
On the way, Demeter explained in detail all the information that the members of her clan had told her.
The location of the seventeenth level cave;
Goliath's approximate patrol route, etc.
However, Asia quickly stopped Demeter's explanation.
"Just tell us the exact location."
"Just the location?"
"Yes, finding the person is enough; there's no need to worry about the rest."
At this moment, Asia is very confident.
As his level increased and he acquired magical artifacts, he also grew accustomed to using the power of destiny bestowed upon him by Baili.
Moreover, she, Rias, and Mai had already faced large monsters and powerful demons, so they didn't think they would lose to the boss on the 17th floor.
Arriving at the entrance to the artificial labyrinth of Daedalus, the girls, armed with their preparations, prepared to enter.
Instead of waiting outside, Baili decided to go with them.
"Wait, Mr. Baili."
"Yes! Wait a moment!"
Hestia and Hephaestus called out to Baili at the same time.
They asked in unison
"Entering the dungeon without permission is very dangerous."
This time it's different from the upper level; it's the middle level.
Both Hestia and Hephaestus regard Bairi as an Outer God outside of Orario.
Since it is a deity, it will most likely be noticed by the dungeon.
That would be troublesome (good thing)!
Baili, who had already been attacked by the God Assassin, responded with a smile.
"It's alright, this underground city doesn't dare to truly oppose me."
"Um... what does this mean?"
Hestia scratched her head and asked.
Afraid to oppose?
The same goes for Hephaestus; it can't just be interpreted literally...
"Mr. Baili, we're about to set off!"
"Okay, coming right away."
Baili did not continue to explain.
He left a message for the three goddesses.
"If we don't linger in the adventurer town on the 18th floor, half an hour should be enough. We'll be back soon anyway."
After saying that, Baili, Rias, and the others stepped into the artificial labyrinth.
at the same time.
On the second floor of an unnamed tavern on Daedalus Street stood a man.
He wore a laurel wreath, and the family emblem pinned to his cloak featured a golden bow and the sun.
The man holding a glass of wine looked down from the second floor, his gaze falling upon the entrance to the man-made labyrinth leading to the eighteen-story adventurer town of Rivera.
"Go ahead, go ahead, you're all going to your deaths anyway, my plan won't fail."
The man... the chief god of the Apollo clan, Tai Ni Ehri, after saying this, drank the wine in his cup in one gulp.
"That guy just now seemed like someone special."
Apollo recalled the report from his servant, a member of his household.
A man named Baili replaced Royman and became the next leader of the Adventurers' Guild.
Although he didn't know what methods the other party had used, Apollo didn't care.
"If we kill everyone else, and then rescue that boy..."
With a smirk, Apollo, unable to rise, extended the cup to his right.
One of the family members immediately poured a full glass of wine.
"Don't disappoint me, Hyacinthus."
Apollo, who had dispatched his dumplings to the dungeon, began to wait.
Waiting for the moment when my plan succeeds.
Chapter 84: Rescue Completed, Baili Prepares to Slay the God—An Apollo Brand Flashlight?!
Baili personally participated in the rescue work.
It wasn't really to help, but just to see firsthand how the girls were performing in the middle level.
Soon the group arrived at Rivera, the adventurer town established by the adventurers on the 18th floor.
Once you enter the neighborhood, you'll see roads and buildings paved with stone.
Despite being located deep underground, it does not feel dark and oppressive; on the contrary, it possesses a unique vitality and life force.
The streets are lined with all sorts of shops, from equipment repair shops to magical item stores, you name it.
The air was still filled with the faint aroma of food, the tempting smells from the street-side restaurants.
These smells seem to be a reminder to every adventurer who comes here that this is a safe haven where they can temporarily escape from battle and danger.
Baili led the three girls along the main road, attracting curious glances from the surrounding crowd.
For some long-time residents of underground towns, new faces always cause a small stir.
"It seems this is the legendary Rivera."
"Rias said softly, her eyes quickly scanning the surroundings, trying to memorize this place that might become their temporary base."
"We've got the map, let's head straight to our destination."
Mai nodded in agreement, "Indeed, time is of the essence, and we cannot afford to delay."
Asia, standing among the crowd, was also ready for battle.
She clutched the magic book tightly in her arms.
"We must rescue those people."
Faced with the girls' determination, Baili, having confirmed their direction using a map, agreed with their plan and they headed towards their destination together.
The group decided not to stay on the 7th floor, but instead headed directly to the 717th floor.
Halfway there, Asia looked around with some confusion.
"Why didn't Miss Demeter's family members ask for help here?"
