Everyone in the headquarters looked at Granny Setsuno curiously, ready to see how powerful this frail old lady was.
However, the next second, Granny Setsuno's figure disappeared directly before their eyes.
"What?! Where did she go?!"
In the blink of an eye, they found that Granny Setsuno had returned to her original position and sat down again to continue drinking tea.
And behind Granny Setsuno, there was a mountain made of a group of unconscious people.
"Are these the fleeing Dark Faction members?!"
A sharp-eyed Familia leader recognized these people in the crowd. He could not help but open his mouth in shock and stare blankly at Granny Setsuno.
The rest had similar reactions.
Granny Setsuno just disappeared for a few seconds, and then came back. There were so many people.
There was no need to guess what happened during this period. It must have been Granny Setsuno who quickly attacked and captured all the members of the Dark Faction.
But the time when Granny Setsuno disappeared just now, it was only a few seconds!
Not even five seconds!
In such a short period of time, Granny Setsuno actually captured so many people scattered all over Orario.
This kind of strength is beyond the scope of their understanding. Is this really something humans can do?!
"Oh my, do not look at me like that, I am so shy."
"..."
Faced with Granny Setsuno's girlish attitude, the Familia leaders did not know what to say for a moment.
However, they also felt that it was impolite to continue staring, so they quickly withdrew their gazes, but their hearts could not remain calm for a long time.
Riveria did not care about them that much. She first poured Granny Setsuno some tea.
Then she turned to Nico Robin, who was sorting out the battle map with Lacus, and said:
"Miss Robin, could you please help settle these people?"
"No problem, it is a piece of cake."
Nico Robin nodded and used her Devil Fruit ability.
She created a pair of arms and tied up the unconscious Dark Faction members one by one, carried them out, and threw them into the cage outside.
People in the command headquarters were also shocked by Nico Robin's method.
Although they had seen many strange monsters in the Dungeon, they had never seen this strange ability to conjure a bunch of arms out of thin air.
It was quite scary. If one's mental resilience was low, they might lose a lot of Sanity Points.
Fortunately, none of these people in the headquarters had low mental resilience.
So they were just shocked at first, and soon stopped paying attention. At most, they just complained silently in their hearts: Why are the people of the Hestia Familia so weird?
...
On the other side.
Takumi did not know that by inviting Nico Robin and others to help, the Hestia Familia's reputation was being distorted.
At this time, he was commanding the frontline troops to attack the Dark Faction's lair.
The Dark Faction's lair is located underground, in a cave extending in all directions.
Such an environment inevitably limits the offense.
At the very least, Takumi did not dare to act recklessly or just use his ultimate move to clear the ground.
Even some overly powerful moves were not dared to be used indiscriminately.
Otherwise, the cave might collapse at any time.
Even if the cave collapses, it won't hurt the people on Takumi's side.
But it will block the way out, giving people in the Dark Faction's lair a chance to escape.
This was also discovered by Takumi after he led people into the cave.
There is actually a large area below this cave, and it is even connected to an underground city.
A Man-made Dungeon!
After discovering this, Takumi also remembered the Man-made Dungeon built by the Dark Faction as mentioned in the original history.
If nothing else, this is the cave in front of them.
The existence of the Man-made Dungeon was unexpected by Takumi and caused him some trouble.
As a result, Takumi had to send out separate troops to capture the lowest passage connecting to the Man-made Dungeon to avoid letting the Dark Faction escape.
But the people in the Dark Faction obviously knew that the passage was their only way to escape.
Once that passage is occupied by Takumi and his party, they will be completely reduced to rats in a trap.
So at the same time that Takumi sent out troops, the Dark Faction also divided its forces.
A group of people were left behind to guard the rear, while the others quickly fled downwards.
And these people who stayed behind also caused a lot of trouble for Takumi and others.
That is not to say how strong these people are.
In fact, except for a certain woman who appears in the original history, who can absorb magic stones to increase her strength, as well as an Evil God that Takumi did not recognize either, the rest of the people are just small fry, no match for the girls on Takumi's side.
But the key problem is that Takumi and others dare not use their ultimate moves, lest they collapse the cave and block the road.
But these Dark Faction members who want to cut off their pursuers have no such concerns at all.
They even wanted to completely collapse the cave and completely block the road.
It would be better if Takumi and others could be buried alive!
Therefore, Takumi was left a little passive.
On the one hand, they must quickly clean up those small fry to prevent them from causing damage, and on the other hand, they must contain the strange woman and the Evil God to prevent these two guys from causing destruction.
Even in order to prevent the opponent from causing damage, sometimes during the battle, when they could clearly dodge the opponent's attack, they had to force themselves to block it, lest the attack miss and cause damage to the cave.
It is also thanks to the fact that the protective equipment of Kanae Kocho and others is strong enough, otherwise they would not dare to fight like this.
But even though the situation was under control, this frustrating style of combat also disgusted the girls enough.
"Hahahaha, you are quite capable, come again! Let's kill with passion!"
The strange woman was laughing crazily, waving her big sword, and constantly attacking Kanae Kocho and the others.
Even if she was counterattacked, she would not defend, and she did not care if she was injured, as if she did not care about her life. As usual, she kept attacking.
But if you looked carefully, you would find that the injuries on this guy would start to heal automatically in the next second, and would be completely healed in a short while. If the blood were not still there, it would not be obvious that she had been injured.
From the beginning of the battle to now, this strange woman has been injured hundreds of times, but she is still alive and well, as if nothing is wrong.
On the other side.
"Hehe, interesting! It is really novel!"
"You do not seem to be humans, you are a bit strange, and you are not monsters either."
"Aliens that feed on blood? And people who exude soul fluctuations?"
"What kind of creatures are you?"
While the Evil God was dodging and resisting attacks, and occasionally counterattacking, he glanced at the Heroic Spirits such as Arcueid, Nero, Draco, and Okita Souji who besieged him with inquiring eyes. It could be seen that this being was uselessly holding back, just playing tricks with Arcueid and the others.
