DanMachi: Unlimited Blade Works

Fairies are fragments of the gods. They were sent by a portion of the celestials to eliminate monsters in the lower world and guide humanity. In the past, Fairies played a role similar to the Argo Vesta of today, providing blessings to numerous heroes and helping them subjugate monsters. The history passed down in the DanMachi world is actually the history of heroes' struggles guided by their patron gods, using the power of Fairies.

The Fairy currently before Ais was likely a Fairy from ancient times who died in the Dungeon while fighting monsters. Under the monster's consumption, she ultimately merged with the monster, becoming a fusion of Fairy and monster. The Fairy now before everyone could no longer be called a Fairy. She was a Corrupted Fairy.

"A Fairy? That monster is a Fairy!" Hearing Ais's words, Tiona, standing beside her, exclaimed loudly. It possessed a monster-like lower body and a goddess-like upper body. Divinity and defilement coexisting—such an existence was a Fairy!

"Rather than a Fairy, she should be called a Corrupted Fairy Doppelganger. Her true body should be the Fairy from a thousand years ago who died in the Dungeon and merged with a monster."

"She was clearly born by an orb residing in a monster, so she cannot be the true body. Her true body should be deeper in the Dungeon." Hearing Shirou's analysis, everyone's eyes widened in surprise. This was just a doppelganger? The true body was even deeper? This meant that if they wanted to continuously explore the Dungeon, the Corrupted Fairy was an existence they had to overcome.

"So those new species monsters were just tentacles for the female-bodied monster to ascend into a Corrupted Fairy?" Looking at the roughly ten-meter-tall Corrupted Fairy before them, Finn couldn't help but narrow his eyes. Considering that both new species monsters and carnivorous plants prioritize attacking other monsters and have a strong reaction to magic, magic power was probably a vital source of nutrition for this creature.

Just as Finn was contemplating how to deal with the situation, the Corrupted Fairy looked at Ais and shouted loudly, "Aria! Aria!" At this moment, the Corrupted Fairy seemed like a child, continuously calling out Ais's name.

"I want to see you so badly, I want to see you so badly!"

"!?"

"You, too, become one with me!" Hearing the Corrupted Fairy's sudden words, Tiona and the others quickly turned to Ais. Shirou, who had been standing beside Ais, subtly stepped in front of her. Clearly, they had all sensed the deeper meaning behind the Corrupted Fairy's words.

"…Will you let me eat you?" Facing the tense Loki Familia members, the Corrupted Fairy showed a crescent moon-like smile.

The next moment, the larval-type and carnivorous plants that had been gathered around the Corrupted Fairy, providing her with magic stones, all turned and attacked the Loki Familia's position. It was clear that the Corrupted Fairy's target was Ais. At the same time, a huge sound suddenly came from behind them; a green wall of flesh had blocked the path they came from, cutting off their escape route.

"Everyone, prepare for battle!" As the leader, Finn gave the command more decisively than anyone. At his voice, the adventurers who had been shaken by their retreat being blocked quickly calmed down and prepared for battle.

"Looks like we're in for a big fight!"

"I've been waiting for this!"

"Don't be too reckless; always pay attention to your surroundings." The rapidly approaching monsters numbered well over fifty; countless dense presences constantly attacked.

Charging into the monster horde, the Loki Familia members, who had been prepared beforehand, wielded their indestructible weapons and continuously fought through the monster crowd. Unlike their usual role of protecting everyone from the rear, in this battle, Gareth led from the front, constantly crushing the overconfident monsters.

"Lefiya, aim at the Corrupted Fairy and begin chanting your magic! Raul, you and the others use magic swords to cover Ais!"

"Understood!"

"We understand!" Receiving Finn's command, Lefiya raised her staff high and began chanting her magic. Raul and the other supporters used magic swords that required no chanting to assist Ais and the others' offense. Coupled with Shirou's continuous Broken Phantasm, the monsters' offensive was suppressed for a time.

"Since we're here, we can't just stand by and watch!" With a light chuckle, Tsubaki grabbed her katana and charged into the monster horde.

Noticing that the monsters' offensive wasn't going smoothly, the Corrupted Fairy in the center of the floor made a new move. From among the many tentacles on her lower body, two or three suddenly shot towards Ais, covering hundreds of meters. Seeing the large, long tentacles approaching, Tiona and Tione quickly wielded their weapons and met the attack. But the next moment, their expressions twisted.

"So heavy!"

"How can it be this heavy?!" This particular tentacle clearly possessed both speed and power. Facing this attack, even the First-Class Adventurers Tiona and Tione struggled to cope. But these were just two out of the Corrupted Fairy's countless tentacles.

Targeting Ais, the Corrupted Fairy's tentacles continuously attacked, raining down on Ais like raindrops. If an attack missed, it transformed into a long whip, constantly lashing. Facing the Corrupted Fairy's whip attacks, Tiona and Tione struggled to deal with them while shouting that it was nothing.

Looking at the battle situation, Riveria took a step forward, intending to begin chanting. But she was stopped by Finn.

"Wait a moment, don't chant yet, Riveria!"

"Finn?" Facing Riveria's confusion, Finn said bitterly, "My thumb has been throbbing; something is coming!" Finn indicated that the situation was unpredictable. Facing this, his facade as commander was cracking, about to fall away.

He was more worried about the current battle than anyone else. And in the next moment, the Corrupted Fairy confirmed his intuition with a smile.

"[O fire, come forth…]" The Corrupted Fairy's tentacle attacks had stopped, replaced by the recitation of an incantation.

"A chant?!" Witnessing this, everyone was greatly surprised. Beneath the Corrupted Fairy's lower body, a gigantic magic circle unfolded. Ominous patterns and rising red magical light enveloped the Corrupted Fairy's entire body.

"A monster can chant? How is that possible?!" Monsters, which act purely on violent destructive impulses and instinct, should absolutely not be able to chant spells. The reason and wisdom required for magic are inherent to humans; this is definitely not a realm monsters can enter. Although she originated from a Fairy, her monstrous body clearly belonged to a monster; therefore, her chanting was incomprehensible to everyone.

A massive red magic circle rapidly expanded. Infinite magical power converged around the Corrupted Fairy. This magical fluctuation was undoubtedly a super-long chant, wide-area annihilation magic. If they were hit by this, all of them would probably die here.

Facing this scene, Finn shouted desperately, "Riveria, quickly open the barrier!"
