Is It Wrong For Me To Start With Three Skills In Danmachi ?!

A Level 5 fighting a Level 6 can't last as long as a true Level 6, that much is obvious!

----------------------------------

A special assault squad of 14 people, moving at a speed unimaginable for ordinary adventurers, quickly traversed the vast passageways of the 51st floor.

As the squad advanced rapidly, it was as if the entire floor's monsters were being drawn to them, gathering toward the place where they were moving.

"Finn, the wall in front of the passage has broken, look at that number, it seems many monsters will be born."

"Tiona, Bete, you don't need to act for this wave of monsters, just move forward, leave the rest to us."

"Understood!"

At Finn's command, the moment the monsters dropped down with a croak, the squad, with Finn's precise judgment of distance and anticipation, struck exactly where needed!

"Puh, puh, puh, puh…"

Suddenly, the curved blades, spears, and rapiers turned into afterimages, slashing through the monsters. In the blink of an eye, they defeated the black rhinos that hadn't even had time to react, and the squad passed through the stairway without slowing down.

"Psshh…"

Likewise, Fron easily passed through, drawing his short sword and quickly finishing off the deformed spider that attacked from behind, joining Gareth in dealing with the rapidly increasing numbers of black rhinos.

"You lot, move faster! Don't fall behind the squad!"

The old man reminded the middle guard supporters Elfy and Lefiya.

"Y-yes, sorry!"

"Click…"

Once again cutting down the chasing horde, Fron clicked his tongue, glanced at his short sword, and helplessly sheathed it back at his waist.

"Against large types in the deep floors, a short sword feels a bit inadequate, looks like I'll have to switch to heavier use."

"Ha, don't worry. If we can reach the 58th floor and clear the enemies there, we'll have time to properly reforge weapons!"

"Ah, I hope so."

His staff-spear required complicated maintenance, but thankfully Fron carried new magic stones in his pack, or else he'd be in trouble.

They pressed forward, as if the vast dungeon itself trembled. It was the dungeon's roar against the invaders. To block these adventurers, monsters surged endlessly from every direction.

From crossroads, from the ceiling, from walls, from side passages, even from beneath the ground.

Anything you could imagine, they would encounter.

The monsters formed black waves, unending, one after another.

The birth rate and numbers were enough to drive ordinary people and adventurers on the surface into despair-fearsome and overwhelming.

Yet this assault squad, formed by the city's most elite familia, knew no such thing as retreat in the face of this tide of monsters.

"You damn bastards, get out of my way!!"

A greatsword fell from above, Tiona, relying on her skill and strength, easily wove into the waves of monsters, mercilessly slaying those around her.

"Argh, this isn't satisfying. Raul, give me my great double-blades!"

"Yes, Miss Tiona!"

As the vanguard supporter, Raul carried replacement weapons for Bete and Tiona.

From his weapon pack, he drew out Tiona's personal weapon, forged from rare materials.

"Ha, my big double-blades really feel right!"

"Arghhhhh! Here I come!"

With that, Tiona spun rapidly with the massive weapon, charging straight into the horde in a line of destruction.

"Wait, Miss Tiona! Don't break away from the squad!"

"Puh puh puh puh puh…"

Dozens of monsters were mercilessly slaughtered under Tiona's display, right before everyone's eyes.

"Uh…" Raul's face stiffened slightly.

"Raul, focus!"

"Ah, sorry captain, I got it!"

"Stop showing off, it's so annoying!" Seeing Tiona's overwhelming display, Bete once again sped up.

As someone long trained in guerrilla tactics, Bete used his unmatched agility and speed, smashing monsters ahead with silver boots.

His figure struck and retreated, swift and elusive, yet always hitting weak points to kill in one blow.

"Bete and Miss Tiona… seem a little too excited."

Running, Lefiya looked at the two first-class adventurers who could still show such feats while advancing, her face scrunched in fright, barely able to breathe.

"Ha, what's this? So this is the deep floors, huh? Looks like tagging along with you guys was the best choice I ever made!"

With a speed invisible to the naked eye, Tsubaki's katana cleaved a black rhino on the right, laughing as she did.

Raul, beside her, was stunned by her terrifyingly sharp skill.

"Miss Tsubaki, but aren't you… a blacksmith?"

"What's that? Of course after I forge weapons, I need to test them. Then, swinging them in the dungeon, before I realized it, I was already this deep. Naturally, I got stronger."

"…" Raul felt like he was stabbed in the heart.

That was too cruel. She just got strong without realizing it…

With the squad's rapid charge, more than half the 51st floor was cleared. If they descended the stairs ahead and turned past two forks, they would reach the 52nd floor passage.

"Lefiya, be careful not to use powerful magic."

Finn licked his thumb, reminding the young mage who had just grown but still lacked deep-floor experience.

"Eh…"

"Lefiya, using powerful magics draws the attention of variant monsters. Until they appear, don't do it."

"I understand, Lady Riveria."

Indeed, it was best not to encounter variants too early, so they could advance faster.

Once they encountered variants, then using magic power would be fine.

…

Fron already knew this, which is why he only used fast-cast magic sparingly to thin out pursuing monsters.

"--?"

Just as Tiona was wielding her double-blades, spinning with her "Sword Storm" and creating a bloody vortex among piled monsters, a sound different from the others approached from the front.

A dense "shasha" sound, like that of arthropods.

"Finn, it's a variant." The humanoid monster radar quickly warned.

"So, it's here at last. A new variant, good!" Finn's eyes flashed as he quickly issued orders.

"Tiona, switch with Ais. Ais, take the front. Fron, use fast-cast magic to cover Ais and Bete. Riveria, Lefiya, prepare wide-area annihilation magic!"

"Understood!" ×5.

While running, Tiona slowed and switched positions with Ais in an instant.

"[Flame bolt!]"

"Boom, "

The moment Ais activated her magic, an orange pillar of flame surged between her and Bete, sweeping forward with blazing heat, striking the swarming variant worms!

"Boom boom boom boom boom--"

Against their natural enemy, magic, the swollen, sluggish worms couldn't even dodge, and Fron's spell blasted a huge hole in their midst, revealing scorched ground.

But the gap was quickly filled by their kin surging from behind!

"Ais, wind!"

"Wind, come forth!"
