Danmachi - Infinite Mana System!

Chapter 146: Chapter 145 - Battle of the Xenos in Orario 10. (Juggernaut 04)



[Chapter Size: 1900 Words.]

Third Person POV

Orario.

...

...

"This is even worse... how can this thing evolve in the middle of the city... a level 11 is not something easy to deal with..." Ouranos murmured, watching the battle unfold beneath Orario.

Fels was also watching from a distance, hesitant to interfere so far to keep his identity in the shadows, but now he knew he had to step in. However, he found himself in a very difficult situation.

Everyone had a cautious look as the support area was filled with the wounded, bodies pierced by the spikes.

Lucius saw this and couldn't help but frown. Aisha, Bell, Ryuu, Lyd, and Ray were lying injured, along with other adventurers, while the support team hesitated to heal them. Still, Riveria intervened, helping them as friends of Lucius.

"I'm going to have to try this..." Lucius muttered as he seriously assessed the situation before turning to Finn.

"Listen, Finn. I need some time... I can try something, but it will destroy the entire area, and I need to get everyone out of the slums. The large-scale magic I'm going to create might penetrate the Juggernaut's skin. I've killed one with it before." Lucius exclaimed as Finn stared at him for a moment.

"Can you buy me some time?" Lucius asked Ottar.

Ottar stared back at him for a moment, not particularly liking the way Lucius was speaking to him as if he were in charge of the situation, but eventually, he nodded.

Lucius vanished while the evolved Juggernaut had its gaze fixed on him as its main target from the start, but Lucius didn't care about that now.

'I'll kill it later, first I'll deal with these...' He thought, looking at all the enemies still standing. Now fully healed again, he felt like he could handle anything, maybe even... 'Evolve further...' He couldn't help but think.

Lucius appeared among the wounded, using his high-scale magic to heal everyone he could as quickly as possible.

"Lucius!" Riveria looked at him in surprise as she tended to dozens of adventurers at the same time.

"Riveria, get ready to get out of here... I'm going to use an attack that will destroy half of the slums..." Lucius murmured as he vanished the next moment, while the fight between the Juggernaut, adventurers, and Xenos resumed, becoming much harder as they faced the now 30-meter monster.

Lucius teleported through the streets, using a life detection spell to search for anyone hiding, ensuring no one would be hit by his magic, while seeing a few people who hadn't left their homes despite the chaos.

Some children were huddled together in a corner of their house, listening to the sounds of monsters and explosions outside. They were two siblings, with the older one trying to care for the younger.

"Have the monsters gone yet... brother?" They asked, and at that moment, a massive roar shook their house.

Lucius appeared at that moment, grabbing them before they could react. "Let's get you to a safe place..." he said as he started carrying them, still dazed, while searching for more refugees.

Lucius quickly began to gather people, even whole families who hadn't dared to leave their homes. The Ganesha familia was surprised to see him placing various people down at the entrance of the slums.

"Lucius!!" Shakti, who hadn't joined the battle and was helping her companions after an order from Ouranos, growled at Lucius.

"Sorry, officer, but I have more important matters right now. Just make sure no one else enters the slums." These were his last words as he teleported back to the ongoing fight.

Lucius continued rescuing people as the battle raged in the distance. He gathered over 150 people at a time, repeating the process 10 times in 10 minutes, using his teleportation to cover the entire slum.

Once he was ready, he headed back to the battlefield. The adventurers were not in good shape; he could tell by looking at Ottar, Finn, Gareth, Aiz, and many others who were injured, with cuts on their bodies, while the Juggernaut had healed quickly from the attacks it had suffered.

"This guy is tough to deal with..." Bete muttered as he spat blood.

"Bete... take this!" Tione handed him a healing potion, which he began to drink. He was in his werewolf form, but still seemed like an ant compared to this monster.

"Everyone!" As they all faced their opponent, Lucius' voice rang out. "I'm creating magic that can affect this creature! I need you to buy me time; it's going to take a while to create one powerful enough to destroy it! I also need Ouranos to make sure no one approaches the slums, because I'm going to destroy everything with this magic. Otherwise, we can't deal with this beast!!!" Lucius exclaimed, with the last part directed to Fels, who was watching and helping however he could.

"What is he up to..." Bete muttered, hearing Lucius in the air.

"If Lucius has a plan, we should trust him. After all, we can't win this fight as things stand, since it's immune to magic..." Finn said, stepping forward with his spear.

It wouldn't be impossible to deal with a level 11 monster with enough effort... but this one was immune to magic and could heal itself quickly. It was a nightmare-level disaster, like the red dragon and the other disasters that the Zeus and Hero families had managed to defeat.

"Tsk... fine..." Bete muttered as everyone began preparing for battle.

Lucius raised his hands before speaking his final words. "Be ready to leave the slums at any moment, understand?" he said before starting to invoke his magic.

Lucius raised his hands into the air, his arms emerging from his cloak, while his clothes fluttered in the wind above the slums. He began chanting his magic, as he didn't have a specific spell for this and hadn't completed the mission.

He began to chant, while the battle below resumed, with everyone doing their utmost to keep the Juggernaut in place. Even members of the Freya and Loki familias struggled to handle it, but as adventurers returned from the support area, now healed, they kept the creature more occupied. Whenever it was injured, it quickly healed itself.

In the palms of Lucius' hands, a yellow fireball began to form, growing larger as the incantation neared its end, reaching more than 2 meters in diameter. It started to glow across the slums like a sun in the middle of the night.

"So that's his magic?" Finn murmured, dodging the monster's claws, while Gareth helped alongside, swinging his hammer to knock away the creature's arm.

People were looking at Lucius as he created his magic. "You heard him! We need to get out of here!" Many mages and healers in the support area shouted, while Riveria remained there, hoping everything would go as planned and that Lucius' strategy would indeed destroy the monster.

"It's still too small..." Lucius muttered. He then activated his mana zone, absorbing magic from the atmosphere. Lights began to appear across the sky, becoming a kind of aurora borealis as they converged toward Lucius.

"Beautiful..." Riveria couldn't help but murmur, recalling the first time she had seen this scene in the dungeon at the water palace boss. However, the magic outside the dungeon was much smaller.

Nevertheless, the fireball began to expand, doubling, tripling, and quadrupling in size, though its growth was slow, while more and more adventurers fell. In the support area, everyone started to flee, along with the Xenos who weren't fighting. He needed to be faster.

"I'll try to enhance this with my own magic!" Lucius muttered, unsure if it would work, but he unleashed his superior aura, and in the next moment, a purple pillar exploded upward as he tried to use his mana zone to absorb his own magic. However, things weren't that simple. A sharp pain began to make him growl.

"AHHHH!!" He couldn't remember feeling this much pain in his life. "Well... I just used my own infinite magic to strengthen my sunball sphere. Doing that definitely came at a cost..." he murmured, feeling intense pain throughout his body, as if his very soul were shaken. Meanwhile, the fireball continued to grow, and Lucius pressed on despite the pain, refusing to stop the process. It was either that, or a lot of people would die if this monster kept living, and he felt a certain responsibility for that.

"He's suffering..." Riveria couldn't help but feel concerned as she raised her hand. Lucius was surprised to see his wife's magic coming toward him, as she gave everything she had.

"Thank you..." His sphere began to grow and grow, and it wasn't just the slums that were illuminated this time, but the entire Orario, like a sun in the middle of the night in the slums of the city, while the whole city felt discomfort looking directly at it.

Despite the immense pain, he continued until it was ready enough to destroy a monster of that level. He spoke again as soon as he saw a sufficient level of magic being reached. "Everyone, listen, leave the slums immediately!" he exclaimed, and everyone looked at the intense light starting to advance.

"We need to get out of here, Bell-san!" Ryuu appeared beside Bell before rushing outside. Most of the adventurers began leaving the battlefield.

"Will he really be able to take down this creature without it escaping?" Finn couldn't help but wonder. After all, there was still a risk of Lucius missing.

"We can't stay here either, Finn. We're going to end up getting hit, and that won't be fun. If this thing can kill a level 11, what will be left of us?" Gareth said, and Finn nodded in agreement, leaving the field with all the members of his familia, hoping Lucius would handle the situation.

Everyone began to leave the battlefield, while the monster growled and then turned upwards, seeing its primary target.

"He thinks he can kill me..." Juggernaut sneered, consumed by the power it had gained. However, a sense of danger emanated from that enormous sphere, which was now over 50 meters in diameter. It resembled a yellow Genki Dama in the shape of the sun.

Lucius couldn't help but feel like he was in the Dragon Ball universe for a moment, but he quickly regained his focus. He simply vanished, putting his hands in front of the massive ball as it hovered above the ground. He began teleporting 50 meters at a time as the sphere pulsed with his disappearances and reappearances.

The creature saw this and tried to leap backward, not wanting to stay any longer, but at that moment, Lucius grabbed its arm with one hand, as circles of Chronos swirled around his arm.

"I won't let you escape that easily!" He used a special ability he had received that night but hadn't used yet, as the monster was trapped once again. Its eyes widened as the enormous ball of light approached.

In the next moment, the massive explosion shook the entire city, as everyone witnessed the slums erupt in flames. The fire spread, destroying all the nearby buildings. Even the adventurers who had fled were struck by the force of the attack. Although they weren't within the flames, the impact of the collision buried them under rubble. Fortunately, due to their high level, they would be fine.

Orario shone brighter than ever that night, as everyone outside the slums witnessed the enormous explosion with the entire city trembling.
