Danmachi - Infinite Mana System!

[Chapter Size: 1800 Words.]

Third Person POV

Orario.

...

...

"Tsk... he doesn't even care about my magic..." Riveria said, frustrated as the battle began. Tione, Tiona, Bete, and all the other Xenos, along with the members of the Hestia familia, masked and united, were fighting the creature, quickly finding themselves at a disadvantage. Riveria, who thought she might make a difference, realized she couldn't, as her spells seemed to have no effect on the creature's skin.

She tried three different spells, yet the creature didn't seem to feel a thing, making things even more difficult. The battle was turning against them as they tried to hold the creature off long enough for new adventurers to arrive—after all, that was their only hope at this point.

"AHH!" Bell was thrown backward, his arm bleeding as he was easily repelled when he tried to block the claw alongside his companions, aiming to get Erebus out of there.

"Bell!" Aiz exclaimed upon seeing this and quickly used her strongest magic, Ariel. Winds began to swirl around her body as she charged at the monster.

She tried to strike the creature, gaining some advantage by being the fastest among Juggernaut's adversaries, as it remained trapped inside Erebus's body, struggling to hold on while it healed itself.

But that didn't last long. The black Goliath was knocked back, and Juggernaut shifted its attention to Aiz, whose attacks were barely grazing its thick hide, only causing shallow cuts despite her efforts.

"Aiz!! We need to help her!" Tiona shouted, and quickly both Amazonesses, along with Bete, rushed to fight, while Lyd and the others also charged for a frontal attack.

Riveria frowned as everyone started to surround the creature, attempting to fight it. But it didn't take long for them to be repelled once again, as Juggernaut demonstrated why a level 10 creature was so terrifying. Left with no choice, Riveria began casting healing magic, as both adventurers and even Xenos were getting hurt—without discrimination, as everyone was fighting in the same battle and returning after being healed.

Juggernaut noticed this and decided to target the elf who was continuously healing them. Without warning, it broke free from the group surrounding it for the third time and charged at Riveria, who was shocked by the sudden attack.

"Riveria!!" Tione's eyes widened as the creature obliterated the house where Riveria had been, smashing through it with ease.

However, Juggernaut looked frustrated to the side as Lucius appeared in another house, carrying Riveria. "Sorry for the delay..." he said as he used his speed and teleportation to move through the area, leaving a stunned Riveria behind. Despite wanting to ask questions—like how Lucius seemed different now—he left before she could say a word.

Lucius surged forward, shattering the roof next to Riveria and rejoining the battle as the other adventurers and Xenos surrounded the monster. Lucius moved across the battlefield while the creature was distracted, his speed now at 6,525 points, the level of an intermediate level 7.

He quickly reached where some of his comrades were injured, with Bell crouched, bleeding heavily, while others were trying to help him and the other wounded.

"Lucius?!" Bell was surprised by Lucius's sudden appearance, but the mage didn't say a word, merely showing his palm to him before generating a green light that began to illuminate him.

Everyone started to heal as Lucius finished, quickly leaving the area, needing to act fast and rejoin the battle, which wasn't going well for anyone. He stopped behind Asterius, who had just been thrown aside.

"Asterius... you need your arm again." Lucius said as he handed the severed arm he had retrieved from the middle of the street to the Minotaur.

"Put it on the severed arm," Lucius requested as Asterius did exactly that without saying a word. Lucius healed him, and the arm began to naturally reattach with his healing magic until Asterius lifted it and opened and closed his hand.

"This is good..." Asterius said, feeling his strength return. He had been struggling in the fight due to constant blood loss, but now he could truly fight again. Lucius nodded, relieved to have a level 7 Xenos to aid them in this battle.

"Now it's my turn to join the fight..." Lucius commented before disappearing. Using his speed, he quickly reached one of Juggernaut's legs, which was fighting the others. His lightning-infused sword slashed at the creature's skin, causing it to roar in pain. Juggernaut, leaving the others, tried to strike Lucius beneath it, but he had already teleported to another leg, cutting it. Another hand attempted to grab him, destroying the ground beneath him, but he appeared on its shoulder, slicing it open. The creature tried to catch him again, but he was already on the other side, landing more blows.

"Incredible... did he reach level 7?!" Riveria, watching the fight from a distance, couldn't help but exclaim as she saw Lucius dodge attacks and slash at the creature, which couldn't seem to land a hit on him.

This opened up an opportunity for the others to attack. Even though Bete hadn't reached level 7, he was an intermediate level 6, while Aiz had reached the early stages of level 7. That Minotaur was a level 7 too, though slower than Aiz. However, what stood out the most was Lucius' speed, surpassing everyone and having an additional advantage with his instantaneous teleportation.

Alongside several other adventurers of levels 6, 5, 4, and Bell at level 3, the fight began to even out. No longer were they losing ground, despite Juggernaut quickly injuring some of them. Riveria was healing them rapidly, while Lucius ensured his lover wasn't attacked again, as she continued sending adventurers back into the battlefield.

The fight continued like this for some time, and finally, reinforcements began to arrive. Finn reached Riveria, who was observing the battle.

"Riveria... how are things?" he asked, assessing the situation. He watched the Xenos and adventurers fight, unable to hide his surprise as he saw Lucius darting around Juggernaut's body, leaving cut after cut. Lucius was now covered in blood, but his speed was astonishing to Finn.

'Perhaps only Ottar could surpass him. How did this happen in such a short time...' he wondered. Lucius was showing the physical strength of a level 5, though his magic already surpassed Riveria's.

In one corner, several Xenos were watching the fight, unable to join in, waiting for the others to deal with the 25-meter-tall monster.

"Lili... let's hope they manage to win..." Lili murmured beside Haruhime, Mikoto, Welf, Daphne, and Cassandra, all watching the battle.

"I think they need help..." Gareth said, observing the battlefield, while Riveria passed on information to her captain.

"Yes... it seems we have no choice, especially since our companions are out there as well..." Finn commented, swallowing a bit of pride after his fight with Lucius. He hadn't expected to have to fight alongside the mage again after what happened.

"Let's go then!" Gareth declared, leaping into the fray.

"Riveria, keep tending to the wounded since magic is useless against it..." Finn said as he followed the level 6 dwarf after he jumped into battle.

With two more level 6 fighters entering the fight, the Juggernaut's situation became even more disadvantageous. The creature started to falter, stepping backward as it was continuously attacked from all sides, now surrounded.

'They're beating me...' the thought crossed its mind in that moment.

More level 4 and 5 adventurers started to fill the area, most of them assisting Riveria with healing. Even Lefiya, whom the elven princess had asked to stay behind, was helping. Meanwhile, everyone kept a cautious eye on the crowd of monsters alongside the Hestia familia, standing off in one corner.

When someone got injured in the battle, they were surrounded by a Chomos Ball, and Lucius would teleport them to the recovery field created by the mages while he continued to enjoy his level 7 status, being the fastest among everyone, even though he had to alternate between helping the wounded.

The adventurers felt strange fighting alongside the Xenos, who had been their enemies until recently. But now, they clearly had a common foe, and they were united in their goal to destroy it once and for all, setting aside their differences, at least for this battle.

'This hurts...' the monster muttered as it tried to grab its main target, but he was too fast, making it useless while suffering from shallow cuts, though deeper than the others'.

More and more adventurers began to appear, and soon, everyone was surprised by the presence of a certain group.

"Look!! It's the Freya familia!!!" someone pointed out, seeing Ottar, along with several members of his familia, advancing into the battle that raged in the middle of the slums, as houses were being destroyed, with Juggernaut being forced back.

Ottar led the charge, running straight for the monster, launching a direct attack with a sword similar to the one Asterius used. He drove it straight into Juggernaut's shoulder.

'That hurts so much!!!' the creature exclaimed internally as it let out an extreme cry of pain.

ROOOOOOOAAAAARRRRRRR it roared, having never been hurt like this before, trying desperately to free itself from the sword lodged in its shoulder.

"Come on! We can defeat it now!" Finn shouted as his familia charged in full force, along with other adventurers from various familias. The other members of the Freya familia also attacked the beast with everything they had, slicing it from all parts of its body, preventing it from reacting, while several level 6 adventurers held back its claws.

Ottar didn't stop either, pulling the sword from its shoulder and slashing across its chest, causing a massive gush of blood to explode from the creature.

'It hurts... it hurts so much!' It began to convulse as it felt its life slipping away.

'I'm going to die here... Mother?' it questioned internally as it realized it didn't want this. 'Why do I have to die here... I want to live!' it screamed in its mind, and everyone on the outside felt a shift at that moment.

The next instant, the creature began to glow crimson, as if its blood were covering its entire body.

"Is it evolving?!" Lucius exclaimed, stunned.

"Damn, what is this now..." Finn felt a more intense danger than ever before, his instincts screaming.

"Get away from it!!" Ottar commanded his familia as everyone tried to retreat. In the next moment, Juggernaut exploded in spikes, its entire form turning red, striking many who couldn't escape in time.

Lucius quickly used his spheres, catching the bodies in the air and sending them for immediate treatment, while everyone was severely wounded at that point.

Riveria swiftly began casting her healing magic, along with several supporters, her gaze falling on the creature now standing alone, glowing red, observed by all.

"Has it reached level 11?" Lucius murmured, seeing that it had transformed into something different. It resembled an Alghoul from The Witcher, but it stood 30 meters tall, glowing crimson as it began to heal itself.
