Anime: Start by Being a Desperado! (Danmachi+Rakudai Kishi)

Chapter 30: New Type of Monster!

Many potion-related familias desire this item but due to a lack of capable combatants, they have to request stronger familias like Loki Familia to undertake the task.

Responding to Tiona's question, Riveria, while dragging Shiro by one hand, quickly answered, "It's because familias like ours also need to maintain a network of good relationships and allies. Plus, the reward offered is reasonable; there's no reason to refuse."

After everyone had their say, Finn told everyone about the arrangement.

The amount of Cadmus Spring Water is limited at each location.

For a more efficient collection method, this time they will be divided into two groups, one led by Finn, including Gareth, Bete, and Raul, and the other led by Ais, including Tiona, Tione, and Lefiya.

Riveria was responsible for guarding the base to prevent any unexpected incidents, as well as for recovering some of the magic reserve expended during the battle on the 49th floor.

Although Shiro wanted to accompany them, the guardian of the Cadmus Spring was a powerful dragon with a potential strength of level 6.

For safety reasons, he ultimately chose to stay at the base.

After Ais and the others left, Shiro stood alone at a high place, enjoying the rare scenery nearby.

Suddenly, he felt a strong premonition of danger.

His skill [Intuition] was alerting him that something bad was about to happen.

So, he rushed to the entrance of the 51st floor.

Summoning his weapon, Shiro looked toward the cave entrance.

There, densely packed monsters were crawling towards him.

Their bodies were predominantly yellow-green, with bloated, soft green skin adorned with colorful patterns.

They had numerous short legs on their lower bodies, while their upper bodies bulged, featuring flat organs lacking thickness that protruded deeply on both sides, with frontal crevices resembling fingers.

Upon seeing Shiro, the worm-like monsters spurted a large amount of purple liquid from what appeared to be their mouths.

The alarm in his heart blared, and he quickly dodged the attack.

The purple liquid hit the ground, sizzling and creating a hole.

Immediately afterward, a worm-like monster burst out of the hole, followed by countless others.

After stabbing the monster with his sword, he heard Riveria's stern voice behind him.

"What's going on? Is this a new type of monster?"

"Riveria, hurry up and organize a defense!! The monsters below are about to come up!!"

After yelling at the elf princess, Shiro pulled his sword out of the worm-like monster, and liquid from the monster's wound sprayed out, melting the ground.

Suddenly, a large hole broke through the west side wall, and more worm-like monsters slowly crawled out, covering the entire ceiling.

"Wow, are these bug-like monsters? So disgusting!"

"I've never seen this kind of monster before."

The familia members who heard the commotion and came to investigate began to voice their complaints.

"Stop chatting. Front liners, form up a defense; archers, move to the back; and mages with enough magic reserves, start chanting your spells. Keep them in front of the defenses."

With Finn absent, Riveria temporarily took over the command.

"Alright!!!"

A dwarf charged out with his shield, shouting.

"Wait! Their blood is corrosive!"

Shiro stretched out his hand to stop the other party, but it was too late.

The acid-like liquid easily melted the dwarf's shield and clothes and began to corrode his skin.

Before the next strike could fall, Shiro quickly stepped forward and kicked the dwarf back to the group, and a black-haired girl rushed to sprinkle a healing potion on the dwarf's wound.

More adventurers came from the base, and several level 3 or higher adventurers moved to the front to block the monsters, while those below level 3 were running around with potions to treat the wounded.

"This is troublesome."

There were too many monsters in front of them, and they possessed the ability to corrode weapons and equipment.

If they engaged these monsters for too long, all the weapons carried by the familia members would be corroded.

Therefore, they needed to employ long-range tactics to quickly resolve the situation.
