No one's POV

Finn: The Evilus, The Seven Shades and the creature will be forced to respond to either Sora Yatagami or Aiz.

Finn explained as his group rushed along.

Finn: In fact, that was precisely why I had Riveria take command of that team. Both as someone who has rampaged in this labyrinth before and as someone capable of taking the reins and guiding Aiz, she was the only one who could lead them.

Finn continue resolutely.

Finn: At the same time, Sora Yatagami is also rampaging on our side as well. And Lemia is also the one person whom Sora Yatagami trusted to do the job done when he's not around. With him on our side, they had to use almost all their trump card just to hold him down.

Amid: That means Mister Sora and Aiz and the others are...

Finn: They will effectively be bait. If either the Seven Shades or the creature heads out to counter them, the risk of the other squads getting defeated decreases considerably.

Finn revealed his plan to Amid, who was dashing next to him. With Tione taking the lead of the vanguards and Tiona and the others promptly mowing down the monsters coming out of the countless crossroads, his brain kept spinning in thought.

Finn: If the seven shades or the creature comes to us, then we'll retreat at full speed. If we can stall for time, Wind Spirit Sylphid and Aiz's wind will be able to find the location of the demi-spirit.

Finn had left Thanatos, the Seven Shades, PoH and Revis with one of two choices. It was up to them to decide. Finn judged that they would choose the former and counter Sora and Aiz, but in the event they lost their cool , he could not be sure what they would do. That was why he had prepared the parties for suitable responses.

Even when he had now become a pseudo Level 7 adventurer thanks to Sora's Blessing, he's not taking any chances that would guarantee losses. The initial preparations were to avoid getting wiped out even if they were routed.

He wasn't pursuing a result with minimized losses: He was aiming for one with no losses at all. He was not planning to abandon anyone. He could not say whether that change was growth or regression. But the precipitous tightrope of chasing ideals was far more difficult, stressful, and meaningful than the easy route of assuming they would sustain casualties from the start.

In the event that he failed, no losses would turn into minimal losses. And if he succeeded, he would achieve his ideal. That was why Braver chose the harder route. After everything that had happened, that was how Finn was thinking now.

If Loki were there, she would surely have said that it was a definite growth on Finn's part.

Finn: Either way, it's going to be a race against time.

The man-made labyrinth, Knossos, stretched all the way down halfway through the Dungeon's middle levels. Faced with that enormous amount of ground to cover, Finn had not chosen a drawn-out battle or a war of attrition—he had chosen a short, decisive battle.
