DanMachi: Unlimited Blade Works

Magic is a symbol of miracles. In the world of DanMachi, magic is the ultimate power adventurers can wield. For adventurers in this world, magic is akin to a Noble Phantasm for Heroic Spirits in the Nasuverse—a sure-kill blow. In this world, aside from innate magic, one can obtain a maximum of three spells through the Argo Vesta (God's Grace). This is determined at the very moment the divine blessing awakens. In the magic slots, the number of slots represents the maximum number of spells a person can learn. Shirou's magic slots are three, meaning he can acquire up to three spells.

In previous level-ups, besides the initial magic, Unlimited Blade Works, Shirou had never obtained a new spell. For this, Shirou had even prepared Grimoires. In Orario, a Grimoire can grant an adventurer a new spell, but the prerequisite is that they have an available slot for magic. Therefore, any Grimoire commands an exorbitant price.

Now, without any warning, Shirou gained a new spell. Furthermore, this spell had no connection to the Heroic Spirit power within him. It was magic purely his own.

"Eh? Brother got a new spell?" Hearing Lefiya's exclamation, everyone who was tidying up nearby cast envious glances at Shirou.

A new spell, huh! I want one too! Everyone thought the same thing.

"A new spell? What kind of magic is it, Shirou?!" As an expert in magic, Riveria was extremely curious about Shirou's new magic.

"It's a super-long chant, wide-area annihilation magic!"

"A super-long chant, wide-area annihilation magic?!" If earlier everyone was merely envious and congratulatory, now they were practically green with envy. Among the many types of magic, disregarding special effect spells, pure destructive magic can be categorized by power into several tiers:

Short-chant magic

Normal-chant magic

Long-chant magic

Super-long-chant magic

The length of the chant required for a spell clearly indicates its power. And wide-area annihilation magic is the type of magic with the largest attack range among all categories. Therefore, a super-long chant, wide-area annihilation magic can truly be called the strongest magic. However, these are just categories of magic; the true power still depends on the caster's own strength. But even so, a super-long chant, wide-area annihilation magic is still the type of magic everyone desires.

"This means your strength is probably going to undergo a massive change!" Listening to Shirou's words, Riveria sincerely congratulated him.

"Probably!"

Gazing at the ceiling as if looking at the moon on the surface, Shirou recalled the spell's incantation, falling into contemplation. Have I been acknowledged? As a great evil?

After a short rest, everyone regrouped and formed a party to proceed to the 59th floor. In the pitch-black passage, the Loki Familia members, holding magic stone lamps, soon noticed something unusual.

"Rather than cold, it's more like it's stuffy and hot!" Lefiya said softly, wiping a bead of sweat from her forehead. This increasingly noticeable anomaly made everyone more vigilant, for no one knew what awaited them at the end of the darkness. The footsteps of the adventurers descending the stairs constantly echoed in their ears.

In the depths of the darkness, even deeper, there was light.

"Finn, here..."

"Yes, what we are about to see now is..."

"...something that no one, not even the gods, has ever witnessed!" Filled with a craving for unknown adventures, the Loki Familia members arrived at the edge of the light. Through the complete passage staircase, they finally reached the domain of the 59th floor.

"..." The sight that appeared in their vision silenced everyone. Before their eyes, there were no glaciers.

There were no towering icebergs, nor cold streams. What appeared before them was a chilling scene of dense vegetation and plants, a completely disfigured 59th floor.

"It's a Nursery!" Hearing Shirou's confirming voice, Lefiya shivered violently. Ais and Bete on the side also had grim expressions.

"Nursery?" Hearing Shirou's voice, a puzzled Tiona asked in surprise.

"It's a place where giant carnivorous plants absorb the floor's energy, then cover the Dungeon, changing its environment. Here, new species of monsters can continuously be born."

"The Nursery that Ais and I encountered on the 24th floor only covered the food storage area, but here, it has covered the entire floor."

"This is the 59th floor!"

"A means to cover an entire floor?" Everyone certainly understood Shirou's exclamation. In terms of floor area, the 24th floor and the 59th floor were not on the same level at all. The 24th floor was only half the size of Orario. But the 59th floor already far exceeded Orario's area. Not to mention that the 24th floor was just a food storage area, while this was the entire floor. What kind of modification technique could achieve such a feat?

"I hear sounds!" From directly ahead in the passage, from the center of the floor, a chaotic cacophony of sounds drifted over. There were sharp, thin sounds, and sounds of chewing something.

Other sounds mixed together, reaching everyone's ears.

"Advance!" Under Finn's command, everyone maintained formation and continued to advance. During their movement, everyone's vigilance was heightened to the maximum, guarding against monster attacks. After all, since entering the 59th floor, they had not yet encountered any monsters. This reminded Finn of the ambush they encountered on the 53rd floor. As everyone continued to advance, the surrounding dense forest gradually disappeared, transforming into a vast, gray wasteland. In the center of the wilderness-like floor, there were countless larval-type and carnivorous plant monsters. A disgusting horde of monsters surrounded a female-bodied monster with a gigantic plant lower body.

"Is it a female-bodied monster possessed by an orb?"

"Is the host a giant flower demon?"

Standing at the rear of the team, Riveria frowned as she named the monster before them. It was a massive plant-type monster dwelling in the deep levels, also known as the Corpse King Flower. To it, whether it was its own kind or adventurers, it would grab and eat anything. The larval-type new species surrounding the female-bodied monster continuously spat out magic stones from their mouths, constantly handing them to the female-bodied monster. In this way, the female-bodied monster continuously devoured the magic stones of the larval-type and carnivorous plants, constantly increasing its power amidst the dust of countless monsters that had turned to ash.

Looking at the dust scattered around the female-bodied monster, Tsubaki said in surprise, "Is it constantly eating these powerful monsters?"

"A reinforced species?" Looking at this terrifying scene, everyone felt a chill run down their spines. Even Finn, the leader, had a twisted expression.

Only Ais was different from the others. She was listening to her own heartbeat, feeling her blood boil. Then, witnessed by everyone, the female-bodied monster shed its outer shell like an insect pupa emerging from its chrysalis, revealing its true form. The female-bodied monster's upper body had completely transformed into a human form. She appeared before everyone with a beauty no less than that of the gods. Green hair, green skin, green upper body. Aside from her eyes, which had no pupils or irises, she was indistinguishable from goddesses. Not only her upper body, but even her lower body had completed its metamorphosis, growing huge petals and countless tentacles.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

"What is this?!" In the monster's cry, everyone was forced to cover their ears with their hands, letting out difficult groans. Everyone looked with trembling eyes at the jubilantly singing unknown entity. Only Ais stood there blankly, even forgetting the pain. At this moment, her eyes were fixed solely on that unknown monster.

"Aria! Aria!" The unknown monster, also noticing Ais, shouted loudly. Their golden eyes met, and Ais confirmed what was in her heart. She stood there, frozen in shock, her trembling lips parted.

"A Fairy!"
