Crossover Anime: Creating a Fate-Ordering Envoy from Scratch

"Perhaps they don't have enough money? Or maybe they're afraid to fight the seventeenth floor boss?"

Mai Sakurajima mentioned several possibilities.

Rias agreed with this.

"Ultimately, adventurers are just like mercenaries. They also weigh the pros and cons, rather than playing the role of righteous heroes and going around to rescue people."

"That's the truth. Adventurers aren't about justice or evil; they're mostly just after their own interests."

Baili believes that regardless of whether it is another world or not, self-interest is the only factor that makes people choose sides.

Thinking of this, Baili had already led his team to the huge entrance leading to the seventeenth floor.

Nearby stood an elderly adventurer, tall and clad in armor.

The adventurer, whose beard and eyebrows had turned white, noticed the group.

"Gentlemen... are you here on some special mission?"

He asked, his eyes filled with inquiry.

Baili briefly explained his purpose.

This made the old adventurer look embarrassed.

"Actually, that girl also invited us, but... the owner of the seventeenth floor is no ordinary person, and the adventurers with strength are currently exploring deeper into the building. They can't possibly return so quickly. It can only be said that they were very unlucky."

"What is the old man looking at at the cave entrance?"

"Actually, I wanted to go up there and take a look, but... as you can see, my old bones would probably fall apart if I encountered Goliath."

After saying this, the old man handed over a map.

“You should have a map of the Adventurers’ Guild, right? This map of mine is a redrawn version of the guild map, with more details, so don’t worry about getting lost. Those trapped on the seventeenth floor should be here; there’s a cave in that location.”

The old man pointed to the northwest side of the map.

"Thanks."

"I'll lend you the map for now, but you'd better come back alive to return it to me!"

Seeing that Baili and the others planned to rush directly to the seventeenth floor, the old man said goodbye and made a promise.

In other stories, this would feel like a flag that would lead to total annihilation...

With that thought in mind, Baili sped up.

Asia followed along, smiling as she spoke.

"That old man, Yi Lin, is a very nice person."

"Yes, thanks to his map, we should be able to avoid taking detours."

Rias glanced at the detailed map in Baili's hand and understood that they should turn left next.

The journey was not without its challenges.

Besides the boss Goliath, there are still other monsters active on the seventeenth floor.

Along the way, a monster covered in thorns charged towards Baili, but was instantly killed by Rias's flames;

In addition, a three-headed python attacked from the side, but was cut in two by Mai's sword.

As for the slime monster that pounced down from above, intending to completely devour Baili, it was sent back to its hometown by a beam of holy light.

At this moment, Baili is playing the role of a guide.

After all, he didn't need to lift a finger in this situation.

"arrive."

Looking ahead from a hundred miles away.

Actually, the girls already know this without me having to say it.

Because there was a huge humanoid monster not far away.

Goliath would occasionally pound the collapsed hole with his arm, trying to rush in and crush the people hiding inside.

"Bailijun..."

Rias, armed, seeks Hyakuri's permission.

After he nodded, Rias led the way, followed by Mai and Asia, and together they rushed towards Goliath.

As the master of the seventeenth floor, the giant monster Goliath possesses strength equivalent to an adventurer level 4.

Therefore, for ordinary adventurers, encountering Goliath only presents two possibilities: running away or death.

However, Rias, Mai, and Asia see Goliath simply as a target.

And that is indeed the case...

Even the sudden appearance of strange, fearless creatures drawn by the three girls' presence nearby couldn't stop the reckless girls.

The crimson flames and the spear pierced through Goliath's body;

Mai concentrated all her terrifying slashes on the monster's limbs and head;

As for the other troublesome minions, the magic shield and holy light shone together, quickly clearing them out.

boom! ! !

Goliath was far too weak and vulnerable in front of the girls; he couldn't even last ten seconds...

The three girls won with a complete and overwhelming victory.

After dealing with the floor master, Rias turned her attention to the collapsed cave entrance.

She and Mai exchanged a glance, then simultaneously swung their spears and swords.

The stones blocking the way were crushed and gradually formed a pebble path.

Baili stood still, observing the situation not far away.

Demeter's retinue emerged cautiously from the depths of the cave.

Mai and Rias sent Asia, who was the most approachable, to strike up a conversation and explain that they were rescuers commissioned by Demeter.

Everything is going smooth.

Baili then withdrew his gaze and walked to the right.

At the same time, footsteps could be heard from the other side.

With a wave of his hand, Baili unleashed a chaotic gust of wind.

"Ahhh!"

A mournful cry rang out.

Bang dong!

Someone fell to the ground.

Baili walked over and looked at the man whose right leg had been completely crushed.

"You are……"

Baili thought for a moment.

The answer was immediately available.

"Yacintoskrio, the leader of the Apollo Familia, if I remember correctly?"

"..."

"Then let's change the subject. Why are you here? Is it related to the attack on Demeter's clan by Goliath?"

"It has nothing to do with you!"

After speaking, Hyacintos slowly crawled on the ground, trying to distance himself from Baili.

He began chanting after moving only one meter.

"My name is Love, darling of light. I dedicate this body to my sun! My name is Sin, the jealousy of the wind. I summon a gust of wind to descend upon this body!"

"That's a very long incantation. In a game, a long casting time would get you instantly killed." (Read super-exciting novels on Feilu Novel Network!)

Ignoring Baili's taunts, Hyacintos continued...

"Unleash the fiery wheel! Come, western wind! — Crimson Flower!"

A terrifying fire wheel was born from the void and roared as it rushed towards the destination.

boom……

A soft explosion suddenly rang out.

The fiery wheel was crushed by chaos, like an extinguished spark, leaving only a few specks of light.

"My magic...!"

"Your clumsy way of casting spells is just as ugly as when you were a child; I wanted to have a good talk with you, but it seems you have the opposite idea to mine."

"Shut up! You're so noisy!"

"Tell me, what did Apollo send you here for?"

"What does it have to do with you!"

Hyacinthus shouted

"What Lord Apollo wants to do is beyond the comprehension and obstruction of you lowly people!"

At this moment, Baili looked towards Rias.

Among the rescued Demeter family members, there appears to be a brother and sister embracing each other, with the sister comforting her brother.

Speaking of which...

Apollo seems to be very interested in men.

Could it be that she's taken a fancy to someone else's younger brother?

That's outrageous...

Orario doesn't need someone like that.
