Danmachi IF - What if Alfia survived

Chapter 14 - Trial - Day 2 Alfia and Fels side

"Shut up, you're noisy. Prepare for battle." Said Alfia while carrying Fels on her shoulder.

It happened a few seconds ago when they reached floor 51. The dungeon's layout had changed into something akin to a maze, with only a tiny passage ahead.

Alfia told Fels to stay still while she took a step forward, only to step back instantly.

A few seconds later, a pillar of fire appeared on the floor where Alfia stepped before. Melting it until they can see a fire dragon known as Valgang Dragon from below.

"Fels, bring your favorite golem out."

Fels glanced at Alfia, not understanding the purpose of summoning golem here. After thinking it a bit, the skeleton figure connected the dot,

(So she wants the golem to open the path? The adamantite golem should indeed be able to clear the way. But it's a golem, you know. It won't move without any target.)

But Alfia's face doesn't look like she's open for discussion. In the end, Fels took out a wand and summoned adamantite golem, just a bit ahead from the hole that was made by the fire dragon below.

As Fels expected, the golem just stood around like a statue without any sign moving.

Until a pillar of fire appeared on the floor where the golem standing, adamantite golem didn't melt under the fire. Instead, it fell through the hole straight, crushing the fire dragon below with its foot.

Fels was about to ask Alfia what to do now when suddenly the skeleton felt like its feet didn't touch the ground anymore. Alfia was now carrying Fels on her shoulder.

"You're quite light. I advise that you keep quiet, or you'll bite your tongue. Oh right, you don't have a tongue anymore."

Before Fels could say anything, Alfia ran to the hole and jumped down. Causing Fels to panic.

"I'M DYINGGGGGG!"

Amidst the fall, Fels shouted as hard as possible.

"Shut up, you're noisy. Prepare for battle." Said Alfia while carrying Fels on her shoulder.

She landed on the floor and threw Fels to the ground.

She then surveyed around. The golem was making an excellent distraction to the surrounding monsters.

The scenery reminded her of the event 7 years ago. Back then, the place known as the paradise of the dungeon had turned just like this place.

If she needs to name the difference, there are too many monsters and unnecessary noises from the monsters.

Then she noticed monsters resembling green caterpillars whose numbers reached hundreds. And now few of them are approaching Alfia, approximately 30 caterpillars.

"A new species, huh?"

"Gospel"

The caterpillars in front of Alfia got one-shotted and turned into black mist, leaving magic stones on the ground.

"It's weak...."

After the first magic, as if the caterpillars were attracted by Alfia, they are now approaching Alfia.

"It's reacting to magic? Just like the plant monsters that appeared at monsterphilia."

The image of a golden-yellow-haired elf who got assaulted by the plants when she cast magic appears on Alfia's mind.

"Pu"

Alfia's lips twitched when she remembers Elf's pained face when she got thrown by the plant.
