Bete: Garuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh!

Belted the wild werewolf, exterminating anything blocking his path. A swarm of vargs, vividly colored monsters in the shape of water spiders, literally exploded from the impact of his fierce kicks.

Anakitty: Don't get shaken off by Bete! Push forward!

Led by Anakity, Loki Familia hurried down the path while Bete scattered the wall of monsters with the strength of his charge. Letting Bete be the wedge that forced open the way through the large passage, the lovely catgirl cut down the monsters flowing out of the side paths as she sprinted past them.

And if any happened to get past the two of them, there was a stream of Level-3 adventurers behind them ready to slaughter any survivors. The relentless thud of combat boots continued, leaving corpses of monsters that were nothing more than sacks of blood, vibrant magic stones beyond count, and swirling dunes of ash in their wake.

Knossos's first floor. The southeast.

The instant the door opened, the squad storming the labyrinth charged in at full speed, loosing the opening shot of the battle. They swept away the remnants of the Evilus who were lying in wait, breaking through in one fell swoop—as if their pent-up hatred and rage exploded out as they rushed into Knossos.

The familia members had been told the details of the operation by Finn: an assault but, more importantly, a reconnaissance in force. Even if the second attack would be the real deal, once they set foot in the enemy base, there was no reason for them not to run wild. In addition to mapping as much of the vast dungeon as possible, they were striking at major facilities of their enemies.

There were two priorities that overrode everything else: The first was discovering the demi-spirit. And the second was securing the enemy's ringleaders. In this case, that meant Barca, who they expected to have inherited the blueprints to Knossos, and Thanatos, the patron god of the remnants of the Evilus.

If they succeeded in capturing them, they would get a much better layout of the labyrinth and contribute significantly to neutralizing the Evilus. As with all bodies—living beings or organizations—once the head was bashed in, the rest would cease to be a threat.

Finn had said that speed would be of the utmost importance on this first strike. They would not give the enemy any time to reorganize, let alone to counterattack. This attack would effectively put the last nail in the coffin—crushing the strength of the Evilus' side.

Following their captain's order—and, more importantly, to get revenge for their fallen friends—Loki Familia surged forward.

Bete(mind): This light is a huge wild card!

Anakitty(mind): If I don't control it properly, it feels like my status will overrun me!

Bete and Anakitty's emotions were a pure of disbelief having felt like they had ascended to Level 7 and Level 5 respectively. The light given to them by the Light of Hope isn't just some protection, it is also a power-boost on their stats. They felt a power that they had never felt before.
