Danmachi – Card Wizard

Chapter 58 - Ch.58

This wasn't even a battle as Aidan and Ais's attacks completely repelled and took down the two amazons who were like children in front of them. The crowd, frozen due to the immediate take-down soon exploded in cheers as the two amazons who had been bullying them had received a beating that they would surely remember most of their lives.

With a shake of his head due to the cheering of the crowd, the disappointment of not having a good fight and the letdown of not having found something fun to do, Aidan came closer to the two amazons. In his opinion, although they were completely obliterated, they would make fine adventurers in their familia due to the thirst for the strength he could feel from them and their strength at their young age.

Holding an unconscious amazon on his shoulder like a potato bag, Ais soon copied his action as the two of them left towards the manor where they would leave the 'recruits' to Loki. At least with this, Loki wouldn't be able to nag to them about only being able to go in the dungeon and helping with paperwork from time to time.

Their arrival in the Twilight manor with two unconscious people rapidly made its way through the members who immediately started gossiping. After all, anything related to the two of them often made great rumours since they were quite the celebrity in the familia due to their level and young age.

Arriving in front of Loki's room, Aidan, compared to before didn't show as much respect to the goddess as he simply pushed open the door and walked to the sofas. After all, he and his goddess were close enough that she wouldn't care a single bit.

"Hehehe, so you brought back a few girls, huh~". Immediately said Loki as she appeared from who knows whereas she took a look at the two amazonian sisters. "Hum, this one is a lot more developed. I'm sure they won't mind~." Continued the goddess in her mind as her hands inched closer and closer to the breast of the larger sister.

With a quick movement, Ais pushed back the hand of the goddess who immediately showed a pout before a grin as she walked behind Ais and tried to grab her budding chest which was unfortunately for Loki, already bigger than her own.

"Alright, so how did you meet them?" Asked the goddess after being once again stopped by Ais who didn't take to Loki's nonsense.

With a quick explanation, Loki nodded as the two youngsters left, not wanting to spend more time with two unconscious girls and Loki. Although it was only a few hours later would the two remember her quirks as they left two girls and a perverted goddess together?

A month later, in front of the dungeon with all the members who will proceed with the expedition.

For this expedition, they didn't put any conditions. Instead, all members were welcome to join but they would have to stop on a certain floor depending on their level.

Level one would have to stop on the 18th floor as they would become a burden afterwards. They would be the ones fighting the monsters from the first to the 13th floor upon which they would receive help from level two adventurers if necessary until the 18th floor.

Level two adventurers would have to stop on the 28th floor of the dungeon which was the second safe zone of the dungeon. Consequently, level two and above members who didn't have the abnormal resistance skill would need either poison resistance cards or potions. In the case they had neither, they would be forced to stay on the 18th floor along with the level ones. Just like the previous floors, the level two adventurers would be the ones fighting on the 19th to the 24th floor and they would receive help from level three until the second safe zone.

The weaker level three adventurers would have to stop on the 39th floor which was the third safe point after the White Palace. Level three would fight from the safe zone to the 36th floor with level four helping them fight the monsters on the deep floor, especially in the White Palace and the 38th floor.

The remaining level three and level four adventurers of the familia would be fighting from the 40th floor down to the 49th floor where Ais and Aidan would be taking down Balor to allow them safe passage to the 50th floor which was also another safe zone of the dungeon.

Overall, it would take then four days to go from the surface to the 59th floor of the dungeon while also allowing the members to fight higher-levelled monsters which would allow them to eventually raise their level. This way of levelling up the members was rarely used by other familias due to the need for higher levelled adventurers protecting them and the cost of potions and elixirs if they were deeply hurt. Thankfully, Aidan's cards stopped most of the downsides of this method. Thanks to this, he was sure that the familia would usher in growth with a big number of adventurers levelling up.

Finally, on the fiftieth floor, levels three and four would be fighting the monsters on the floor above since it was a lot safer with Balor already being dead.

As for the level five and six adventurers, they would be going down to the 58th floor directly with the help of the holes made by the Valgang dragons and telekinesis to let them fall the eight floors.

With this, they would train for a while by killing the dragons and locating the 59th-floor entrance. It was even easier since there were map cards to keep track of their progress. As such, the group divided with Ais and Aidan leaving on their own to the east of the floor.

Taking down as many dragons as possible and exploring the floor as fast as possible, they spent the following few days fighting and exploring.

However, a problem soon cropped up. After 5 days, with every member helping search the whole floor, they never found the stairs leading downstairs. Indeed, despite having completely explored the floor as shown on the map, they never found the way to the next adventure.

As such, after five days of fruitless searching, the whole group gathered again as they made their way back to the fiftieth floor. After all, they needed to relax from time to time.

—-

"Welcome back." Said the member taking care of the members and the camp on the fiftieth floor while they were gone. "Have you found what you were searching for?" He continued as he was aware of their goal.

"No, we searched the whole floor but there are no stairs." Replied Finn with a complicated expression as Ais and Aidan on the side had their brows in a constant frown as they wouldn't be able to explore deeper in the dungeon without finding a way down.

A/N: Well it's been a while. I'm not dropping this fanfic but as you can see I simply have no time and no interest in writing much these days. I'm working around 60 hours per week and while not a lot I have other things to do as well haha. Well, I don't know when the next chapter will be updated, but I can at least guarantee I ain't dropping.
