Chapter 694 Emergency part 2

Serafall was shocked when an unknown face suddenly shoved her way in, but she still answered her question, "Indeed. It's Ryuu Lion, also known as Gale."

"W-what!?", Astraea immediately tried checking her connection to Ryuu and after feeling that it was still intact, she felt a little relieved. However, the extreme concern was still there, "...Please tell me what's happening to her."

But Serafall didn't speak and instead eyed Kisuke.

Patting her shoulder to calm down, Kisuke gently moved her away and gestured that it'll be fine before turning back to Serafall, "How long do you think she'll be able to stay alive?"

"An hour at most.", answered Serafall, "Since she's a friend, Medu-chan and I could have done something to assist, however, a pretty dangerous operation is currently ongoing within our kind neighbors home and Sona-chan and the rest are part of it, so we couldn't really move away from them."

"The last news that I heard about her is that she's chasing after some remnants of the Evilus who tried to escape from the ongoing operation. Next, Adventurers of Rivira gathered their weapons to chase after her since she apparently murdered some people there. It has been half an hour since then and Medusa has been detecting several explosions below the 24th floor."

Kisuke tapped his chin and said, "So your estimation of an hour at most is because you thought a Juggernaut was about to come out?"

"Exactly~! It may have come out now, though. The good thing is that your other friends, the Miach and Takemikazuchi Familias, are on higher floors so they're safe, for now anyway."

"N-no way...", Astraea slumped and Mildred immediately went beside her to keep her up, "A Juggernaut you say..."

'Is this fate?', She recalled the past and how she received the news that aside from Ryuu, every one of her beloved children was slaughtered by a Juggernaut. Even then, she couldn't lose hope now and immediately turned back to Serafall, "If you have the power to save my child, please... Please save her!"

"Miss Goddess, as much as I wanted to help, we can't. Our priority is our family.", answered Serafall with a serious expression.

Astraea felt weak on her knees again. She didn't know how they were communicating right now, but she knew that the woman she was speaking with was currently in Orario. No matter what they did, they wouldn't be able to reach Orario in time to help her.

It was then that Serafall suddenly grinned, "But it's a different story for Yoru-chan, Kuro-chan and Ki-tan. For them, this is just a small matter, so why not ask them?"

"...What?"

Kisuke then suddenly stood up and said, "Kuroka, please prepare it."

"You're going alone?", asked Kuroka as she prepared her Magic Power for the teleportation.

Nodding, Kisuke answered, "Yep. It's my chance to return the favor I've received and I also promised that I'd do it personally. Besides, leaving things here unattended is good, for now, anyway."

Confused, Astraea tried asking what was going on, but Kisuke just gave her a large smile and said, "After this, I will have returned the favor.", before a purple Magic Circle appeared before him, making him disappear in motes of light.

While everyone from Astraea Familia was in shock at what just happened, Astraea herself understood it, "Transposition?"

"Yep.", Yoruichi answered after sipping her tea, "He's in Orario now."

Immediately after her words, Kisuke appeared beside Serafall on the hologram, saying, "Please wait for the good news~!", before disconnecting.

Sitting on the highest point within Daedalus Street, Serafall was overlooking one of the entrances to the Knossos while watching the real-time feed that came from inside, when Kisuke appeared beside her, "Been a while, Sera-tan~! Hope you're doing good!"

But instead of a smile, Serafall glared at him, "You have to explain what's going on with Sona-chan!"

Kisuke immediately backed up and smiled wryly while raising his hands in surrender, "I'll do that and also do a complete check on her. But you can be assured that it's not as dangerous as you think it is."

"Hmph! That better be the case!"

"Anyway, how is this operation going?", Kisuke immediately changed the subject while looking at the feed.

"Although they're making great progress, the enemy has already made their preparation and they're already too late, so chances are, they are going to fail."

"Hmm... Anyway, can you teleport me to the 24th floor?"

Serafall shook her head, "I can't. The Dungeon is too sensitive right now and I have a feeling that any kind of spatial transfer would make things worse for everyone."

"But you won't hesitate to do it when they're in danger, Sona-chan and the girls, that is."

Serafall put her hands on her waist and puffed her chest, "That's obvious! If something came out of the Dungeon after doing so, I'd just deal with it myself!"

"That's reassuring, but it looks the next best choice is to go through this man-made Dungeon since that'll take less time.", Kisuke then jumped down towards the entrance and waved goodbye to Serafall, "I'll see you later~"

"Be sure to get those Crystal Drops on your way back! Ophis-chan, Claire-chan and Tan-chan really like those and we're about to run out!"

"Got it!"

On the 9th floor of the Knossos, an intense battle was ongoing with a group of Adventurers led by Finn fighting a Demi-Spirit that parasitized a Human formerly known as Barca and a current-generation Daedalus.

As Finn and the other vanguards couldn't deal any substantial damage to it without exposing themselves to danger, they could only defend the rear that was preparing for a large attack, from its attacks which were full of curses.

However, the tides of the battle suddenly changed when the eastside wall of the circular room they were fighting in suddenly exploded to pieces. A familiar man with a bucket hat and a cane in his hand came running out of the dust and debris, "Excuse me~! Coming through! I'm sorry for the disturbance~!"

Due to the suddenness and how ridiculous the situation was, even the monsterized Barca momentarily stopped its attack, trying to figure out what was going on with its almost dysfunctional head.

The man in question, meanwhile, just ran towards the opposite end of the room while ignoring everyone. Similar to what he has done until now, he punched a hole through a wall several feet thick which was made out of very rare and hard metal, leaving the scene.

Of course, not everyone was stunned as the girls of the Loki Familia already saw something far more ridiculous than that. Thanks to the disturbance that Kisuke created, Tiona and Tione were able to creep behind the monster and used their full power to smash its head open, creating an opening to reach the mutated Magic Crystal in its body.

Although the Demi-Spirit was shocked, it wasn't because of the scene that the strange man created, but the feeling he was giving off. It was as if it saw its natural enemy that made it freeze in fear.

After defeating the Demi-Spirit, Tiona waved towards the hole where the man left and shouted, "Thanks for the disturbance~!"
