So this is Level 50...
My smiths and I have never made it this deep before. You have my thanks.
The pleasure is all mine.
Although...
Is this how they always are?
They've been in a frenzy the whole journey here.
I know this is an expedition and all, but isn't that a bit much?
Well, this time's a bit of a special case.
Miss Ais, what happened up there on the upper floors?
What was that Human doing...?
An adventure...
He was on an adventure.
If you search for the things you lack with downcast eyes
You'll never discover incredible places like this
Let's get rid of these vague standards
And the courage will spread through you
A world without lies reflects in your eyes
Throw away the useless bravado and
Let's laugh and cry together
We played the strings at our own speed
And embellished how we wished
When you're around miracles can happen RE-ILLUSION
We shined and lit each other up
On the other side our dreams melded together
We created a synergy and
With our strong and genuine bond we crossed the world
Man, it was nuts!
I mean, he was going head-to-head with that Minotaur!
I've been itching for a fight ever since!
Ah, I see now. That's what this is all about.
What was the Adventurer's name?
Uh, I think Ais mentioned it.
Was it Cra Belnel?
Mm, I'll try to remember that.
Seriously, though...! It was like that Argonaut in the old stories...
Lefiya!
I wish you coulda seen the way he fought back there too!
Y-yeah...
Now, I'll announce the Party divisions for Levels 51 and onward tomorrow.
Myself, Riveria, Gareth.
Ais, Bete, Tione, Tiona.
He was on an adventure.
An adventure... I feel like he's taken the lead now, somehow.
Even though I swore I wouldn't lose to him...
In addition, Raul and Lefiya will be there on support.
Yes, Sir!
Lefiya?
Y-yes!
Tsubaki will accompany the group as our smith.
You got it.
That is all.
All right, then let's hand out the goods!
These are the items you ordered. I call this series "Rolan."
All forged with the Durandal attribute, like the Sword Princess' blade, Desperate.
As such, they are unbreakable.
Well... It's lighter than I expected.
Yeah. Even something this size should be easy enough to handle.
You're right! These're great!
Thank you, Tsubaki.
Even if we fight that new species again, our weapons shouldn't melt now.
They're just what we needed.
I focused on using only the most powerful materials.
They may be light, but they are mighty.
You didn't order another o' those idiotic weapons o' yours?
She told me if I ordered an Urga, none of the other weapons would be done in time...
What incredible weapons.
Indeed.
But we mages cannot depend on weapons like these.
We have only devotion.
Yes. I'll do my best to catch up to the rest of you-
Catch up...
That's right.
Now isn't the time to be comparing myself to somebody else.
I already have people I want to catch up to.
Someone I have to reach, no matter what.
How could I have forgotten?
I'm in the middle of an adventure myself!
Let's give these weapons a test run!
Sure, let's do it.
Sword Princess! Sure, let's do it.
Sword Princess!
Your weapon's in need of some servicing, is it not?
If you wouldn't mind.
Still...
To think that little girl has become one of the city's top ranking Adventurers.
Maybe I should have called dibs on you myself.
Nine years it's been now...
You were like a drawn sword back in those days.
Fighting on even when your edge was worn and jagged.
I thought you'd get yourself killed all too quickly.
Never thought I'd be crafting a weapon for a person like that.
Back then, you saw yourself as nothing more than the sweep of a blade,
a weapon in and of itself, you see.
I was curious to see when you'd finally break.
But you changed, didn't you?
What?
Your expression's gotten gentler.
Though it seems people still like to call you a doll and such.
Do you think I've... grown weaker?
Stronger, I'd say. You're already a Lv.6.
That's not what I mean.
As a blade, you may have lost that sharp, pointy tip, but I think you've found your sheath.
My sheath?
Your friends, that is.
It just doesn't feel the same without my Urga...
Are you still going at it?
I told you to get some rest and prepare for tomorrow.
But I just couldn't sit still! My blood's totally pumping!
Because of that youngster from before?
Yeah! He was amazing!
He kept on fighting, even though he knew the enemy was way stronger than him!
And then he defeated it!
No matter what happens tomorrow, what sort of enemies we face,
I'm gonna fight just like that boy did!
I'll protect Ais and Lefiya and the others!
I'll keep you company for now,
but as soon as you've had enough, it's off to bed.
Got it!
What are you staring at over there?
Ain't it obvious?
This filthy monster burrow we're all gonna raid tomorrow.
Are you sure that's all you see?
Finn, put me in the vanguard tomorrow. I'll tear everything to pieces!
All right then.
Bye, Lefiya! Good luck tomorrow!
I'm sure you'll be fine with Miss Ais and the others by your side.
I will, thank you!
'Night!
Good night!
Everyone's cheering me on.
I've gotta give it my all!
I won't let myself drag Miss Ais down this time.
Your shoulders are too stiff, you know.
M-Miss Tione?!
Of course. We're headed into uncharted territory, after all.
Telling you not to be nervous at this point wouldn't do much anyway.
Right...
Don't worry. No matter what happens, we'll be right there to protect you.
And if anything happens to us...
I'll save you all with my magic.
All right, off to bed then?
Tiona always makes too much noise talking in her sleep.
Want to sneak into the Boss' tent instead?
A nice Boss-sized body pillow sounds pretty wonderful!
You know, I don't think...
M-Miss Tione, wai-!
So-some blankets! I'll get us some blankets!
Thank you. I'll do my best tomorrow.
Veil Breath!
I've cast some protective magic.
The effects should last a while, but don't get too overconfident.
We'll charge through Level 51 as quickly as possible.
Don't worry about the small fry.
Approach any of those new monsters with caution.
Everyone, prepare for battle!
Go now, Bete! Tiona!
Come on, Bete!
We really tore right through, didn't we?
They're even more berserk than I anticipated.
Bete and Tiona are even wilder than usual...
Don't expect to be able to resupply from Level 52 onwards.
Why not?
They'll fire at you the moment you stop moving.
Fire at us?
From here on out... it's hell below us.
Hell?
Let's move!
Finn, what do you think'll be firing at us? I don't sense anything around us...
They've already got us in their trap.
Wh-what's that sound?
They're coming.
Bete, dodge!
Let's skirt around to the west!
Now I see what you meant by firing at us!
Raul, look out!
Raul!
Lefiya!
I'm bypassing the levels!
Is this hell?!
You bastards!
Miss Tiona!
Damn, that's hot!
Thank the gods for Riveria's magic!
What're you doin', you dunce?!
Lefiya, you all right?!
You guys!
We'll free-fall all the way down to Level 58 and then deal with these jerks!
Lefiya, your incantation!
R-right!
Proud warriors. Archers of the forest.
Take up your-
You damn pests are going down!
Don't go, Ais!
Tsubaki and Raul are still here with us.
We'll take the main route and head down to Level 58.
There'll be a Party waiting for you when you get there.
I've got this!
We're comin' for ya, ya shitheads!
They're all yours, Lefiya!
Fusillade Fallarica!
I... I thought I was a goner...
With all that magic up your sleeve? Come on, now.
You burned all those Valgang Dragons, Ill Wyverns, and those new species to a crisp!
Th-that's a lil' bigger...
I'm sure that isn't the Floor Boss, but still...
Oh shit-
That was close!
I'll use my magic to-
Outta the way!
Gramps?!
Gareth?!
Mr. Gareth!
A puny flame like this- don't make me laugh!
Are you young'ns all okay?
Mr. Gareth!
That was one hell of an entry, Gramps...
That's a Lvl.6 for you.
Good grief, looks like they're not gonna give us a break, are they?
Come on, let's get these taken care of before Finn and the others get here!
You don't have to tell me twice!
Already on it!
What are you doing?
The Sword Princess has already made it to the deeper levels.
Why do you remain?
You should know this already, but my body's fuel consumption is abysmal.
Besides, in my current state I've yet to surpass Aria in strength.
Making a move now would be pointless.
You think only of yourself. If any problems arise-
They're strong.
I have no doubt they'll make it to Level 59.
Worse comes to worst,
I'll take Aria's corpse.
You intend to defy Enyo?
I don't care if you use me.
But in exchange, I'll do as I damn well please.
Why don't you act on your own for once? Tell Her I said that.
Arcs Ray!
Let them scavenge each other!
Remember, the new species are drawn to magic! You need to fall back!
R-right!
The Caterpillars are moving steadily southward...
What does it mean?!
There's an access way to the south!
They must be heading towards even deeper levels!
No way... They're going to Level 59 just like us?!
We don't know that for sure, but...
M-more of them?!
These dirtbags don't know when to give up!
Wynn Fimbulvetr!
Miss Ais!
Riveria! And-
Boss!
Is everyone all right?
More or less.
Oh, a Flame Dragon's tooth!
And a Flame Dragon's scale!
I've got to take these back with me!
Sorry, but you'll have to grab them on the way back. We can't carry them now.
I suppose you're right.
Let's take a quick breather.
Tsubaki, I need you to repair everyone's weapons.
Right, leave it to me!
I'm so sorry about before!
It's all right, things turned out fine! I'm just glad you were okay!
No, no, really!
Yes, yes, really!
No, no, no, really!
Yes, yes, yes, really!
Though we had to split the Party unexpectedly,
we somehow managed to clear Level 58, where we've had to retreat before.
Not like it was our first run. Piece o' cake.
That's not what it sounded like a minute ago.
Look who's talkin'!
Nope, I heard you huffing and puffing too.
Shut up, ya senile old man!
Who're you calling senile?!
Is something wrong, Boss?
According to records taken by the Zeus Familia, Level 59 is the beginning of an icy, glacial area.
That's right.
There's a stream running off a glacial lake, making it difficult to traverse,
and the bitter cold will make traveling on foot very slow.
I heard that as well, so I prepared Salamander Wool for each of us to wear.
But then why...
Why can't we feel the cold where we are now?
You think somethin's up?
I'm not sure, but the Zeus Familia's account couldn't have been a mere exaggeration.
Aria, go to Level 59.
There, you should find the answer to what you seek.
Let's head out without the Salamander Wool.
Everyone, we leave in three minutes.
Soon, the Loki Familia will set foot on Level 59.
The time has come, then.
Allow me to show you.
Well, it's definitely not cold...
It feels humid.
Finn, I think this is it...
Indeed.
What we're about to see is a place only the gods have witnessed until now...
The Unknown.
A jungle...?
It almost seems like the Plants back on Level 24...
One and the same, looks like.
Keep moving.
What is that?
That monster's been evolved by one of those orbs too, hasn't it?!
The parasite's attached itself to... the Corpse Flower, Titan Arum.
That ain't good...
So many Magic Stones...
It's evolved...
Wh-what is it doing?!
No way... It's...
Aria!
A Spirit...
Good morning, open up the window and
You can go anywhere
A wish you whipser to yourself each day
To keep moving forward as far as you can
You compare yourself to others, let out a sigh
I know, I know
Kindness, warmth
One day the two of you
Will surely know what it is to love
The you of tomorrow will turn the you of today
Into memories and
Move forwards past them
The rain will stop, you'll lift your chin up and
You'll be able to say "Thank you" with an honest smile
Hello, hello, hello
Sing your love for someone
"Sword Oratoria"
