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

"[Flame Bolt!!!]"

Boom,

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

"?"

The flame magic that shot upward was quickly released by Fron, but… it was still a step too late!

"Whoosh…"

"That is… no good, it's a Deformed Spider!"

The Deformed Spider hidden in the corner of the dome launched a sneak attack on the panicked adventurers from a blind spot.

A sticky and terrifying strand of spider silk wrapped around Raul's arm before he could even react, instantly pulling him off balance and into the air!

Fortunately, Fron's preemptive strike swiftly killed the monster, allowing Raul to fall back down from midair.

"Boom--"

--?

But at that very moment, as if bad luck, a pillar of flame shot skyward, instantly piercing the floor and forming a shaft more than ten meters in diameter. And the unlucky Raul… fell right into it.

"Raul!"

Everyone's faces changed dramatically!

But it wasn't over yet. "Swoosh, swoosh!" Two more strands of spider silk shot out from other blind spots, this time targeting Lefiya and Alicia.

The group, caught mid-run, had no time to react. Even Fron, having just cast a rapid-fire spell, was unable to counter in time and could only watch as the two were snatched into the air.

"Heave-ho, watch me!"

At the critical moment, Tiona leapt into the air with her great sword, and in an instant, severed the silk threads with a clean strike.

But since there was no way to regain footing in midair, the three of them were dragged into Raul's fate, falling together into the shaft below.

"Damn it…"

Three supporters and a first-class adventurer falling together sent shock through the team.

"Finn!"

"Tione, Fron, you two follow them down! Fron, if Riveria's magic effect wears off, make sure you buff them immediately!"

"Understood!"

The two carried out Finn's order without hesitation and jumped in after them.

"––!"

Seeing Fron separate from her, Ais faltered, about to follow, but Finn quickly stopped her!

"Ais, the rest of us still need you and Bete to handle the new species. With Tione and Tiona, that's more than enough to protect Lefiya, Alicia, and Raul. And Fron's all-around support is there too, it won't be a problem!"

"Don't forget, we still have Elvf, Anakitty, and Tsubaki with us! So now we'll take the normal passage to floor 58. Besides… them being down there now might actually be a good thing."

...

"Ahhh--"

Lefiya's delicate face turned pale, eyes squeezed shut in a twisted scream. As Fron once teased her, this was her true "crying face."

"W-what do we do?!" The girl was on the verge of tears.

Raul, nearly just as shaken, was also on the verge of crying.

"We're doomed!"

Unlike the two of them, Alicia remained calm and composed.

"There's always more solutions than problems, Fron once said that Before the next wave of dragon breath comes, we have to think of something."

"A solution…"

"Boom--"

But the Dragons didn't seem willing to grant them even a sliver of escape. From the bottom of the shaft leading to the 58th floor, a massive Valgang Dragon raised its head once more, opened its savage jaws, and in the despairing eyes of the group, unleashed its deadly breath.

--!

The thick scent of death filled their bodies, as the blazing fireball of destruction surged toward them!

"[Face your end! (Ragnarok)!]"

"[Surtur!]"

Just as the explosion was about to consume the three and vaporize them, a chant resounded from above. A figure descended, wreathed in black-crimson lightning and flame, staff-spear pointed forward, body transformed into a streak of black light!

"Ha!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Bang bang bang--"

The black flash wrapped in crimson lightning pierced through the massive, terrifying super-explosion in an instant, opening a passage of hope within the flames of despair!

"Mr. Fron!"

"Fron!"

"So cool!"

Golden hair blew wildly in the downward draft, black cloak flaring with snapping sounds.

On the mysterious staff-spear, rings of magic circles spun, shining with violet light.

Who else could it be but Fron?

"D-damn, it's so hot, damn hot -ahhhhh!"

The heroic figure suddenly broke the mood!

"..."

"..."

"..."

"You were so cool just a second ago…"

Alicia felt entirely safe after Fron appeared, and in that moment, she even slipped into an adorable, casual tone without realizing it.

"Wow, Fron! Isn't this way too much? Taking that attack head-on with your face and only saying 'it's hot'?! Anyone else would've been vaporized!"

Tiona shouted as she descended after them, catching up quickly.

"Now you understand? Aside from Riveria's magic, most of it is thanks to this cloak."

"Tch tch tch, so that's the 'mysterious effect' you mentioned?"

"Yeah, it has extreme resistance to monsters' special attacks, so it's just 'hot' instead of fatal!"

Everyone present knew where that cloak came from, it was a drop item from the mutated floor boss Goliath. No one expected it to have such a function. Only today, a year later, did the cloak reveal the secret.

"Now's not the time for chit-chat, those things are coming too!"

Tione, wielding her weapon, said grimly as she looked at the figures flying up from the 58th floor.

"Those are…"

"Aside from Valgang Dragons, there are also massive types…"

"Ill Wyverns!"

Using the shaft blasted open by the Valgang Dragons as a passage, the airborne enemies of the Dragon's Vase descended, the Ill Wyverns!

In the hundreds-meter-deep shaft, the party kept falling with nowhere to land, while their enemies had full flight capability. It was clear how deadly the battle ahead would be!

"They're here!"

"Roooaaaarrrrr––"

The Ill Wyverns roared hideously, spreading their wings and lunging at the adventurers with razor-sharp fangs and claws!

"Fron, Tiona, protect those three! Once we're past the shaft, that will be our battlefield!"

"[Flame Bolt!]"

Seizing the initiative, Fron swung his staff-spear calmly, and a magic circle flared!

"Boom-"
