Danmachi - Infinite Mana System!

[Chapter Size: 1900 Words.]

Third Person POV

Orario.

...

...

The people were still in doubt after everything they had heard from Lucius in the sky, with a seed of uncertainty planted in their minds.

Gods and various races inhabiting Orario wondered if the same man who had brought monsters that night to Orario, causing chaos declared by the Ganesha family, was now telling the truth about an even more terrifying monster appearing and asking them not to fight the earlier monsters but to join forces against this supposed new monster. This seemed absurd to most of the city.

However, it was at that moment that a voice emerged in Orario to put an end to everyone's doubts.

"Gods and mortals, Citizens of Orario, regarding the danger that the wizard Lucius Drakenar just reported... it is true. The most terrible monster is present in the city and in the slums. I ask that all the gods of every familia send their most powerful adventurers, at least level 4, to help in the fight. Otherwise, otherwise, there will only be deaths of lower-level adventurers. The Juggernaut is a specialized creation designed to kill anything the dungeon wants to destroy after being damaged, and this one is not below level 10!" he said, shocking everyone.

The monster was even of a higher level than Lucius had predicted, so things would be dire in Orario.

"It has been years since the city faced such a crisis. That is why I ask everyone to cooperate and set aside the monsters known as Xenos, which you saw earlier tonight, so you can fight together. This is more a matter of survival, and we must put our differences aside!"

Ouranos' voice concluded, but everyone stood there, stunned by it all. The patron god of Orario knew that after this night, many gods would demand explanations from him, as Ouranos seemed to possess information that no one else knew. However, at the same time, it opened up an opportunity. Perhaps adventurers and Xenos could fight together that night and forge a first bond between them, taking the first steps toward coexistence. That was his hope.

Tsubaki looked at her goddess at that moment from the tower, seeing the red-haired woman nod.

"Go, help them. Take a few level 4 adventurers from our familia as well," Hephaestus said, trying to assist them.

"All right, I'll also take a few weapons," Tsubaki replied, feeling that this was a crisis, not an ordinary battle.

Many gods also spoke to their most powerful members to help, even amidst the confusion. Thus, they understood the gravity of the situation, and the entire city began to focus on the slums as everyone headed to that location at that moment.

Lucius was the only one fighting the monster at that time, and he was in the middle of the battle, trying to dodge the direct attacks of the creature. His life was far from safe, as he barely avoided the super-fast monster's claws by mere millimeters, which tried to kill him at any cost.

The only thing keeping him alive was his teleportation magic, against a creature he could barely keep up with, only sensing the direction of the blows to aid in his teleportation.

He tried various spells at once to slow it down, as the area flashed repeatedly with his use of endless spells to try to blind it. The monster was blinded for a few moments while it tried to strike him like a fly, but Lucius was persistent in evading the attacks, knowing that he would die from a single direct touch of those claws.

"I should use another sunball like last time when we dealt with one of these... It's the only spell that can nullify magical defenses and damage and destroy the Juggernaut..." he murmured with a serious look as the monster attacked again.

He distanced himself a bit and began casting lightning while the whole place lit up and raised a cloud of dust around the monster. It was at that moment that he felt the danger coming when stones that the Juggernaut itself picked up from the ground were thrown at him with its hand, nearly hitting him as he dodged. He even tried to stop them with his time magic, but some were so fast that he couldn't even track them.

"Take this back, you bastard!" Lucius said before moving his time spheres, managing to return some of the projectiles at high speed, making the creature roar in pain for the first time as it was hit by something physical, imitating its own speed as they exploded upon hitting the ground.

Once again, the Juggernaut, unable to ensnare him in the air, attacked again, launching more stones while Lucius tried to catch them once more. He saw several explosions in the city caused by the first stones that had escaped his reach, falling upon the city with a high chance of injuring its people.

He managed to catch all the stones with great effort, but at that moment, the Juggernaut appeared by his side, attempting to catch him off guard while he was dealing with the stones. He quickly dodged the claws but was struck on the side of his arm, feeling his bones break as he plummeted to the ground, crashing with immense pain as he was thrown down.

The Juggernaut advanced with its claws to the spot where he had fallen, starting to dig. Lucius was like a miniature compared to the creature, which stood at least 25 meters tall.

He barely avoided death, reappearing shortly after, managing to evade the claws, though he was still badly injured. As he healed rapidly, the Juggernaut stared at him as if mocking him.

"I need time to create a sunball." He murmured once again as the Juggernaut began picking up stones, attempting to use the same fighting strategy that seemed most effective against Lucius. After all, the creature was intelligent and adapted quickly. Dodging all the time wouldn't work, and the Juggernaut knew that Lucius would try to protect the human city since the stones were large enough to destroy entire houses.

Before the monster could attack, as it prepared, green spears began to shine in the distance, rushing toward the Juggernaut with full force. The creature exploded in a frustrated scream, but not in pain. When Lucius looked, he saw that Ryuu had appeared, having completed her enchantment.

"Ryuu..." he murmured as he approached her.

"Lucius..." she murmured, cautiously watching the dust rising after her attack, though there was some hesitation in her eyes. She was clearly afraid.

"Ryuu, it's too dangerous for you to be here. I can still handle him alone to buy time until the others arrive. Without them, you could die here..." he pleaded, knowing her presence could be fatal if she stayed alone.

"..." Ryuu looked at him frustrated, but before she could respond, the Juggernaut emerged from the smoke, charging at them. Ryuu could only stare at the approaching creature, unable to react to its speed, but her body was enveloped in a time sphere, making her disappear the next moment as the creature collided with a house, destroying it and scattering debris everywhere.

The Juggernaut's gaze turned back at that moment, seeing Lucius and Ryuu inside the sphere floating in the air.

"We should wait for the others. For now, we'll have to stall him a bit," Lucius remarked.

Though reluctant, Ryuu nodded. But they didn't have to wait long. At that moment, a crowd began to emerge from one of the slum streets as the Xenos, led by Erebus and Asterius, who was missing an arm, approached the destroyed area near the entrance to Knossos.

"This is good," Lucius sighed as he withdrew Ryuu from the sphere, flying over the area. The Juggernaut didn't like being surrounded at all, especially now that the Xenos and the Hestia Familia were approaching.

"Listen up, everyone...!" Lucius raised his voice to give orders as the creature glanced between him and the newcomers. "…All level 3s or below must retreat immediately! This is not a normal fight!" He spoke with seriousness as everyone assessed the creature, especially those who had never seen it, watching it with fear.

"Damn, look at the size of that thing. What is that?" Welf muttered next to the Xenos, clearly alarmed.

"It's certainly stronger than the last one we fought…" Erebus commented, not failing to analyze the situation, frowning.

"He's right. Not everyone can fight. This battle will only be a massacre," Lyd said in a serious tone, mostly for the Xenos behind him, making them take a step back.

The Loki Familia also appeared at that moment, emerging on the rooftops beside the crowd of Xenos.

"Hey, what is that thing? It gives me a horrible feeling," Tiona murmured.

"So that's the Juggernaut they told us about... a hunting dog of the dungeon itself," Riveria murmured thoughtfully. That creature was quite different from anything she had ever seen.

"This monster might really be level 10..." Bete narrowed his eyes, as everyone recognized the danger emanating from the creature.

The next moment, the creature charged directly at the group of Xenos, with Erebus in the middle, taking the hit head-on as its claws sank into the colossus. Everyone, without exception, stared wide-eyed at the scene.

"Erebus!" The Xenos murmured in fear, unable to react to the creature's speed.

"I'm fine," Erebus muttered, as his body began to grow again, becoming a 20-meter colossus, almost matching the Juggernaut's size. He pulled the claws from his chest, bleeding but healing at an alarming speed. "I'm fine, we just have to stop it as quickly as possible..." he murmured, feeling the pain fade away.

"Remember, we must fight together!" Lucius called out to everyone, feeling their gazes fall on Riveria, waiting for her to make a decision for her familia. Seeing the Juggernaut attack the Xenos might show them that the Xenos were allies as well.

The next moment, all the strongest warriors prepared themselves. Bell ended up going along with Aisha and Asfi, and Ryuu joined them after Lucius asked her to give them some time. Among the Xenos, Asterius, Erebus, Gross, and Lyd also joined the fight.

As more and more first-class adventurers approached the scene, Lucius took the opportunity to pull his sword from his inventory again, surrounded by crackling electricity.

But before that, he quickly accessed the shop. Having received some rather powerful rewards that night, he started buying two spells for 10,000,000 each and used the spell cancellation card he had. With both spells in hand, his body began to glow, increasing his physical abilities by 30%.

Everyone was already struggling, and Riveria took the initiative with her familia again, entering the fight. Lucius charged into the battle as well, now surpassing even a level 7.
