Danmachi: Gacha Draw

At this moment, the gods and goddesses seemed to feel something in their hearts and all looked in the direction of the dungeon at the same time. 

"Eh?" 

Above the Tower of Babel. 

The goddess of beauty Freya was the first to react. She narrowed her eyes and looked anxiously in the direction of the dungeon. 

She risked being punished, activated her divine power, and peered into the dungeon. 

Her heart was pounding. 

The last time she felt this way was thousands of years ago, in the age when "heroes" emerged in large numbers. 

"Ah… hero?" 

Has a new hero been born?

Freya was filled with anticipation and couldn't wait to find out what was going on. 

Soon, her eyes opened and she froze on the spot...

"That's right!" 

She saw the red flames burning on the 17th floor! 

That's the color that rises from the soul! 

"Ahhh...!" 

The bright light of the soul shone in her eyes, her mouth was slightly open and her beautiful face was flushed. 

Freya showed an ugly look like a whore. She was filled with joy and her heart was like that of a girl in love, or like a deer that strayed deep in the forest, nervous and expectant. 

The person in front of her has bet everything and his soul is as hot and bright as a flame.

There's no doubt about it! 

In this age, a new hero is born! 

But just as she wanted to continue looking, the dungeon seemed to be covered by a dark curtain. Even if she activated her divine power again and tried to continue, she could no longer see any traces. 

"Eh?" 

Freya wondered out loud. This was the first time she had encountered such a situation. 

Intentionally, the system helped Link again and isolated him from detection. 

...

In the residence, Hestia also noticed something strange. 

She paced back and forth restlessly, her eyelids twitching uneasily all the while, and her sixth sense belonging to the gods kept telling her that something important was about to go missing. 

"Did something happen to Link in the dungeon?" 

She anxiously found her friend Hephaestus and wanted to tell her about her suspicions. 

But as soon as she entered Hephaestus' office, a member of the Hephaestus Family ran over and shouted, "Goddess Hephaestus, something happened! An adventurer saw it. The Hestia Familia members we're working with encountered an 'abnormal situation. ' !" 

As she suspected, something happened!

Hestia's eyes widened and she anxiously grabbed the familiar's shoulders. 

"Speak clearly! What happened!?"

"At first, some adventurers discovered that an adventurer and an elf mage using a blood-red spear encountered an unprecedented [Monster Party] on the 15th floor. Later, they encountered Goliath on the 17th floor. According to the news, they should have broken through the vertical cave and wanted to take shelter on the 18th floor, but they encountered an abnormal situation. The main Goliath on the 17th floor was reborn a day earlier, and the newborn Goliath that was an enhanced species. The level was definitely above LV.4!"

The adventurer and the elf mage, without a doubt, Link and Olga.

Hestia and Hephaestus looked at each other and both saw the seriousness in each other's eyes.

"Hephaestus..."

"I understand. No matter what, we can't just leave such a capable companion alone. We'll notify you immediately. All the adventurers in the family with a level of LV.2 or higher will form a team under Tsubaki's leadership. To enter the dungeon for search and rescue, be sure to bring back Link and Olga from the Hestia Family! 

"Yes!" 

"Hestia, don't sit idle. Use the money to go to the guild to issue commissions. The more people you have, the more power you'll have!" 

"Okay! Thank you, Hephaestus!" 

"If you want to thank me, let's wait until Link and the others return!" 

...

At this moment, in the underground city. 

Goliath roared in agony and misery. 

The bright, hot energy carried by the arrow burned the hair on his body the moment it was shot from the bowstring. 

The next moment, the surging energy directly blew his huge body apart! 

He wanted to block this powerful blow with his arms, but the next second, the burning energy from the arrow pierced through his arms. 

All defenses are in vain in the face of this powerful blow achieved at the cost of life. 

"Bang!"

Goliath punched the wall hard, and the terrifying meteorite blow directly pierced through his chest and abdomen, directly tearing the flesh and blood on his body into pieces. 

The power of the arrows shot out didn't weaken at all. After penetrating Goliath, they pierced through several walls of the underground city one after another like bullets fired into the body, and then the remaining power gradually dissipated. 

After firing this blow, Link fell to the ground with his body broken. 

The God Hands silently started at this moment. 

The horrible wounds on his body were recovered and healed within a few seconds, and soon, Link, who was lying on the ground, twitched. 

"Cough... cough, cough..."

Although the injury has recovered, the physical pain still lingers. 

Link coughed twice, lay down on the ground and took a deep breath, then propped up his body and stood up from the ground. 

okay. 

Fortunately, there is God Hand.

Link walked tremblingly towards Olga, collapsed beside her and hugged her. 

He took out two tubes of medicine and fed them into her mouth. 

Seeing Olga's wounds gradually recovering and then looking at Goliath who had dissipated and turned into ashes, Link relaxed. 

As soon as he relaxed mentally, the fatigue accumulated over a long period of time suddenly came out like a flood. 

Link's vision darkened and he fell asleep. 

...

Under Tsubaki's leadership, a group of adventurers belonging to the Hephaestus Familia and some who had been entrusted with tasks commissioned by the guild arrived at the 17th floor.

Armed with weapons, they were ready to defeat this enhanced Goliath. 

However, when they arrived here, the entire cave was extremely quiet and Goliath was nowhere to be seen. 

"Look! That's..."

An adventurer points into the distance. 

Tsubaki raised her eyes and she looked over there, a huge magic stone was silently falling, and the wall behind the magic stone seemed to have been subjected to extremely terrifying attacks, being penetrated one after another.

"That should be Goliath's magic stone..."

"Look, something's fallen, it really is Goliath!" 

Several experienced adventurers quickly deduced that the missing Goliath had been killed here. 

"Look over there!" 

Another adventurer shouted. 

"It's Link and Olga!" 

"Are you sure?" 

"It's Link and Olga from the commission!" 

Tsubaki immediately ran over. In the corner on the other side of the cave room, Link was slumped over holding Olga, his clothes in tatters. 

"Quick! Healer!"

The two accompanying magicians who could heal magic immediately used their skills, but soon, the two magicians showed surprised expressions. 

"He… he wasn't hurt! He's just a little weak!" 

"What?" 

"The lone king of the labyrinth, Goliath, who solved LV.4, still wasn't hurt?" 

"I'm not dreaming, am I?" 

Despite the shock of the others, Tsubaki stepped forward and inspected it herself. 

Indeed, although Link's clothes were tattered, no injuries were found. In contrast, Olga beside him was slightly injured, but had almost completely recovered after being healed by potions and magic. 

The two of them are still in a comatose state, probably due to exhaustion from the previous battle.

"Okay, it's a good thing they're not dead. Let's get them back. Guys, pack up Goliath's magic stones and dropped items, and give them to Link when he wakes up." 

"Yeah!"
