"That red-haired female beast tar, she is an extrely dangerous person. Be sure to remind everyone to be cautious when dealing with her," Emiya reminded seriously.
[Red-haired Beast Tar], this was the codena that Emiya and his companions had given to that red-haired woman.
At first, Tiona had suggested calling her [Crimson Calamity] or [Destruction Red], nas that sounded more imposing. However, Tione thought such nas overly boosted the enemy's morale and failed to highlight her key traits.
Tiona was clearly dissatisfied, "In heroic tales, the protagonist's enemy would never be called sothing as boring as [Red-haired Beast Tar]."
The Amazon girl, who loved heroic tales, protested like this. However, as the minority, her protest was overruled.
"According to Ais's assessnt, the red-haired beast tar's potential ability is at least upper Lv.5. Considering her strange physical strength and astonishing recovery speed, she can be directly regarded as having Lv.6-level combat power," Emiya said.
Although in battle, Ais and Wiene joined forces and successfully bisected the red-haired beast tar, forcing her to flee in embarrassnt, this was mainly thanks to the fact that both of them possessed extraordinary strength.
In a fully activated state of [Ariel], holding the [Storm King], Ais's combat power had already reached Lv.6, and the dragon girl Wiene's strength was not inferior to the red-haired beast tar. She even surpassed her in terms of physical endurance.
Gareth frowned, "Compared to the last ti we fought, her strength has increased significantly... She's indeed a tricky enemy."
After listening, Riveria pondered for a mont and said, "Ais has already started compiling the specific intel gained during their fight with her. We'll sort it out as soon as possible."
Emiya nodded and continued, "Next is the situation about the corrupted spirit clone and the gem child."
"Although compared to the corrupted spirit on the fifty-ninth floor, the monsters this ti are clearly much weaker in strength, we can basically confirm that the parasitic monsters are similar in nature to the one from the fifty-ninth floor, perhaps even the sa kind of existence."
The corrupted spirit on the fifty-ninth floor had parasitized a powerful [Giant Flower Demon] body and devoured a large number of magic stones. It exhibited the strongest magic power, even reaching Lv.8-level capabilities.
As for the corrupted spirit on the eighteenth floor, it had only parasitized an ordinary man-eating flower and was slain by Emiya and the others before it could continue growing.
"As for this parasitic monster on the eighteenth floor, we rate its subjugation difficulty as Lv.6," Emiya said. This was also the unanimous opinion of him and the Amazon sisters.
Finn slightly nodded, his tone solemn, "Although we say 'only' Lv.6, considering that the enemy can easily create such monsters and even let them grow to the level of the corrupted spirit on the fifty-ninth floor. Their strength and danger clearly far exceed our imagination."
He paused and shifted his gaze from Emiya to Riveria and Gareth before continuing, "Combined with the intel about secret passages connecting the Dungeon to the city... If the enemy creates such monsters within the city..."
At this thought, everyone's expressions beca even more grave.
They had seen firsthand the [Fla Storm] and [teor Shower] unleashed by the corrupted spirit on the fifty-ninth floor.
If such highly destructive magic were to be cast in the city, the consequences would be unimaginable. This would be a truly devastating catastrophe.
Riveria fell silent for a mont, then said softly, "We must quickly find those hidden passages to prevent the enemy from bringing disaster to the surface."
"Mm, we can't hesitate any longer. I'll go find Shakti. We must rely on the strength of the Ganesha Familia."
Finn said decisively, "As for the Guild, at this mont, they're probably of no use."
No matter what the enemy's intentions were, they had already demonstrated a level of destruction capable of threatening the entire city.
This was no longer a matter of ordinary evildoers. They had to respond with overwhelming force.
Gareth stroked his beard and thought for a mont, "Then... what about the Freya Familia?"
Emiya was about to speak but was interrupted by Finn, who responded first, "I will go see that goddess myself."
"And also, about 'Wiene,' I ask all of you seniors to keep it confidential for now," Emiya said.
Regarding the dragon girl Wiene, after careful consideration, Emiya had decided to confide in the three giants of the Loki Familia.
At the very least, he could not hide this matter from Riveria.
Upon hearing Emiya's words, the room fell silent for a mont.
Riveria slowly spoke, "No matter what, this is too unbelievable... a monster with human intelligence and even showing goodwill."
She sighed, "What's even more astonishing is that she could fight alongside Ais."
The fact that Ais could suppress her hatred of dragon kin and cooperate with a dragon girl was even more shocking than the dragon girl possessing intelligence.
Finn shook his head and chuckled, "A dragon girl and a red-haired beast tar... One is a 'human' with a monster's appearance, the other is a monster with a normal human appearance. The simultaneous appearance of these two makes a strange kind of sense."
Then he looked at Emiya with a serious expression, "Shirou, since you chose to trust her, then I'll also trust your judgnt."
Emiya had already accumulated enough "credit" within the Loki Familia.
Not to ntion the past, even just the recent expedition. If not for Emiya's presence, the Loki Familia might have been completely wiped out by the sudden appearance of the corrupted spirit.
In a sense, Emiya had saved the entire Loki Familia.
In fact, his presence had beco a critical catalyst in the Loki Familia's rise.
Alicia had leveled up to Lv.5, Riveria had mastered fourth-tier magic and reached Lv.7, and the superweapons [Skadi of Ice], [Storm King], [Golden Impact], all were closely connected to Emiya.
The trust in Shirou Emiya was enough for Finn to cast aside his prejudice against "monsters."
Riveria and Gareth also nodded seriously.
The elven princess reminded, "But Shirou, I still want to remind you, the differences between monsters and humans... are ultimately hard to fully erase."
"I understand."
Emiya nodded, "The goddess Hephaestus once told , loving a specific person and loving an abstract concept, that's the fundantal difference between gods and evil gods."
He paused and continued, "I think the sa applies to humans and monsters. Wiene is Wiene. She has nothing to do with other intelligent monsters, and she's fundantally different from ordinary monsters."
Moreover, judging from the current situation, Wiene seed to have a hostile relationship with ordinary monsters.
Of course, Emiya was not yet certain of this.
Finn glanced at the ti, "Emiya-kun, you've worked hard. You rushed over just after coming back from the Dungeon and haven't even had proper rest yet, right?"
He thought for a mont, "Right, isn't there a festival today?"
Riveria nodded, "Yes, it's the Monster Festival and the Holy Staff Festival."
Various kinds of holidays and festivals erged endlessly, this was also a characteristic of the labyrinth city.
Hero Festival, Monster Festival, Holy Sword Festival, Holy Staff Festival, Sacred Fla Festival, Harvest Festival, New Moon Festival, Sumr Festival... the list was long, and so festivals were even held more than once a year.
Such frequent celebrations were due in part to the labyrinth city being the world's center, where cultures from all countries and races converged. Many local holidays were transford into festivals here.
On the other hand, the gods in the city were extrely enthusiastic about festivals.
Finn: "Although the hidden enemies are concerning, we still need a balance of work and rest. And right now, the most important thing is searching for Dungeon entrances, such tedious work shouldn't waste your energy."
Searching for Dungeon entrances was important, but it was a ti-consuming task that clearly wasn't suitable for Emiya to handle personally.
Emiya thought for a mont, then suddenly turned to Riveria, "Riveria, would you like to attend the Holy Staff Festival together?"
He recalled the recent Rice Festival, which he had attended with the goddess Deter and Ryuu.
Seeing his sudden invitation, Finn and Gareth exchanged a smile, looking at Riveria with aningful expressions.
Riveria's beautiful face flushed slightly. She nodded gently.
"Riveria, here's the intel on the enemy and the dragon girl," Little Ais, looking exhausted, handed over a docunt.
To her, writing reports seed harder than fighting powerful enemies.
"Oh oh, alright, I got it," Riveria replied perfunctorily and casually flipped through the report as she was about to go to her room to change.
Seeing the crooked handwriting, she frowned slightly.
'Ais needs to practice her penmanship more,' That was her first thought.
Then Riveria's gaze landed on a certain detail in the report, and she froze.
'That dragon girl... called Shirou 'Father'?'
