49th floor.

“Huff! huff! we’re almost there!” said Ai.

“I’ll take the lead. Get on!”

Ai jumps and lands on Cirrus’s arms, being carried like a princess as Cirrus equips his armor and runs faster.

“Drink the high-stamina potion! Who knows what lay for us at the bottom of the 59th floor!”

“Got it!”

 

58th floor walking down to the 59th.

“It’s not cold at all… in fact, it’s muggy.” Said Riveria.

“Hm, from here on out, no one, not even the gods, has witnessed what we are about to encounter… the unknown.” Said Finn.

As their party reached the bottom, they see a lush jungle with canopies everywhere.

“Ais look!” said Lefiya.

They look up to see several Violas growing.

“It’s just like the 24th floor…” said Ais.

“… There is something up ahead, everyone forward, and keep your guard up,” said Finn.

The party goes on forward to see a mutated Titan Alm. Several of the Violas and the new species were offering up their magic stone to it.

“Shit!! It’s an enhanced species!!!” shouted Finn.

Everyone quickly got into formation, but the monster uttered.

“….Ah.”

They didn’t even have time to be shocked as it screamed out.

“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

This did not even flinch Ais as she was transfixed on the monster. It slowly began to shift and mold; terror began to fill Ais’s heart as she sees it slowly and ultimately gain a more humanoid form like that of a Lamia.

“…”

‘No… way…. there’s no way… it can’t possibly be…’

Ais had zoned out, ignoring all words as the creature turned with a beautiful, happy face before a cruel, sadistic smile grew across it, staining its once but fleeting innocence.

“A..aria…ARIA!!! NOX!!!! CIRCE!!!!!!!! ARIA!!!!! ARIA!!!!!!!!!”

‘This… couldn’t really be…. a Spirit!?!?’

 

Room of Prayer.

“Cirrus!! You need to move quickly!!” shouted Fels.

"We're just reaching the 50th floor! what the hell is going on down there!"

“One of the spirits that we sent down to Orario before we gods descended onto the world like that of Nox and Circe, what the Loki Familia is facing those sprites that were consumed by monsters and dungeon, they maintained their ego and became an amalgamation of our children and a monster. A Corrupted Spirit.”

"A-are you actually serious!! Are they on Nox’s or Circe’s level!?"

“I do not know, but you must hurry.”

 

50th floor.

“Huff! huff! Circe!! Nox!! I may need to summon you!”

‘Is something going on?’ said Nox.

‘What happened!?’ said Circe.

“Trouble! Seems there are more spirits out there!”

‘W-what!? impossible! With my magic, I would have found them!’ Said Nox.

“There in the Dungeon! Ouranos said they were eaten by monsters before the gods descended onto the world, their Corrupt Spirits!”

‘!?!?’

‘N-no! bullshit! Cirrus summon me when you're down there!’

‘Me as well, Cirrus! Seeing it with our own eyes is the only way we will believe it.’

“Alright.”

Rushing through the 50th floor, Cirrus and Ai spot some of the Loki Familia fighting monsters.

“Hold the line!!” Aki shouted.

“Cirrus go on ahead, I’ll handle this!”

“Hm!”

Ai split off as Cirrus changed his armor into his Stymphalian and flew ahead.

 

She quickly jumped up on the trees and dashed across them.

“Dammit! This hoard!” said Eupheme. “Come on, put your back into it!!”

“Look out below!!!!”

“!?”    

Some adventures looked to see a girl falling from the sky. She grabbed her sword and as she grew closer to the monster; they turned into chunks. The girl then landed back on the ground upon a pile of monster chunks.

“A-Ai!?” said Eupheme.

Ai turns to see her old friend.

“Oh, Eupheme!! It’s you! It’s been so long!”

"!!!!!!"

Behind her, more monsters came.

“Behind you—!!”

As soon as she placed her hands on her sword and turned swiftly, as if second nature, the monsters turned into chunks.

“Dam… it’s a bit hard to go back to killing monsters, oh well.” She swung her sword to get rid of the blood and sheathed her sword. “Are you not all high-class adventures!!!!” she shouted.

The appearance of a beautiful white-haired Renard in mixed attire of east and west stood out amongst them all.

“Fight with everything you have!!! And keep fighting!!!” she turned around again and charged into the monsters cutting them down, with each monster she kills the more she gets used to cutting their magic stones and soon the area was filled with ash and blood.

 

52-58th floor.

Whoosh!!

Whoosh!!

Whoosh!!

“Fels status.”

"They took heavy damage, but they are pushing forward! It seems they can take it before you—!! They killed it!!"

“Seems I came down here all for nothing, I guess.”

"Wait… I see something coming to them in the distance..." Fels's tone quickly changed. "QUICKLY GET THERE!!! IT’S ANOTHER ONE!! SHE USED MAGIC TO SUMMON SOME TYPE OF WATER MAGIC!! HURRY!!”

“(Sword of Damocles, sing your vespers.) [Dia Dikastí̱s: Logia]!!”

Having just barely experimented with his magic on his way to Orario, Cirrus was still surprised by this boost.

CRAAAAAAACK!!!!!!

The sound of thunder boomed through the dungeon floors.

 

           59th floor.

“Run!! Quickly!!” shouted Finn. “We need to move!!! Now!! Ais!! Can you slow it down a bit?"

“I’ll try my best!!” said Ais, weakened.

“Finn, she can’t!! We're all exhausted!!” shouted Riveria.

“I know, but that thing in the far-off distance is making my thumb throb harder than before!”

“But—!?”

CRAAAAAAACK!!!!!!

“Hm? What’s that sound?” said Wu at the entrance to the 60th floor as she held out her hand with her purple and black magic circle spewing a black water.

“I-is this the end!” shouted Raul.

“Quiet!! Just keep moving!!” said Gareth. “I don’t wanna find out what that black water is!!”

As the Loki Familia all run, the smell of a clean, crisp smell like that of early spring rain filled the room along with a—

—Boooom!!!!

A streak of lightning appeared before them, all facing the wave of approaching black water.

A clean slash part the water in two, and there his figure stood tall.
