The first real thought that Shakti had when she saw the Black Goliath drop to the ground from the ceiling after she was done cursing was, 'the Loki Familia can take care of that.'

Then she remembered that the general area where the Floor Boss was standing in was roughly where she'd dumped Godou and basically told him to stay out of trouble. Well, now that an irregular Floor Boss had literally been dropped on him, she couldn't just leave him there.

Most of the strange plant-like monsters had been vanquished with the assistance of Tione and Tiona, the infamous Amazoness duo from the Loki Familia. Excusing herself from the battle, she immediately rushed towards where she'd last seen the chef.

She'd encountered a Black Monster before only once in her life, back when she was still a Level Four. Ganesha had been foolish, ignoring the pleas of everyone in the Familia, and demanded to enter the Dungeon to supervise the capturing process of monsters. The subsequent Black Infant Dragon that had been summoned had left a few adventurers critically injured. Since then, the god had respectfully obeyed every rule that ensured the safety of his Familia.

But this was totally different. This was a Floor Boss. An ordinary Goliath was around Level Four, so she estimated that a black one to be Level Five, which made it challenging for even her to solo. It really was a blessing that the Loki Familia was here, though she could not trust them to have realized Godou's presence in the woods.

Her legs burned as she sprinted towards the monster.

"Shakti?"

She recognized Finn, the Pallum Captain of the Loki Familia. There were other members of his Familia as well, though it seemed the Sword Princess was injured and being piggy-backed by Riveria. More importantly, it struck her that they were running away from the Black Goliath.

"Finn!" She stopped. "Did you see a teenage boy? Spiky hair? Not wearing any armor?"

"You mean Godou?" he asked.

"Yes!" she immediately replied, slightly surprised Finn knew his name. "Is he safe?"

Finn exchanged a look with the rest of his Familia. "He's uh..." He smiled weakly. "He's fighting the Goliath by himself."

Shakti blinked. A mixture of emotions suddenly erupted within her. Her heart was gripped with fear. The mere thought of Godou, a non-adventurer, facing a Floor Boss by himself, turned her stomach into ice. Fear quickly melted into anger as she clenched her fists and grabbed the tiny Pallum by his shirt. He may have been one Level above her, but that only meant he had even less of an excuse to abandon Godou to the Goliath. "And you let him?"

The veteran adventurer's gaze hardened. Calmly, he wrapped his fingers around her wrist. "He volunteered. He said it was his fight, and asked us to keep others from getting involved. You know the rules; he claimed the Goliath as his. Now please, let go of me."

When she didn't, he started to squeeze. Pressure suddenly turned into pain and she released Finn. Her glare didn't drop, however. "You're a heartless fool, Finn. He's not even a Level One!"

The Pallum frowned. "I don't think numbers matter to him. Besides, I believe he is more than capable to subdue the Goliath."

Riveria stepped up, Aiz Wallenstein still on her back. "Do not worry, Shakti. The boy is strong. I only needed one look at his sword to know."

Confusion and doubt began to corrode her fury. She had seen no sword on their way here. But then again, Godou had mentioned something about a weapon, hadn't he?

Her cheek pressed against Riveria's shoulder, Aiz nodded. "Magical sword. Powerful boy."

Those were not words Shakti had expected to hear used to describe Godou. She'd seen him tame the Battle Boar, but he'd used nothing but the human mind and superb reflexes. He was not a trained warrior. She grit her teeth. Why was she wasting time here, talking to the retreating Loki Familia, when Godou was fighting a Floor Boss on his own? She needed to reach him as soon as she could.

"I know that look in your eyes, Shakti. I won't stop you from helping him. You're strong enough to not hold him back. But I think you should put your faith in him. If not him, then trust Loki." Finn smiled slightly. "My goddess would never try to recruit someone who she thought was weak."

She was surprised at the last statement. Loki was trying to recruit him as well?

As if to prove Finn's point, an ear-piercing squeal reverberated throughout the Floor, and Shakti looked up in time to see a giant Boar that was on fire ram into the Goliath, goring it with its massive tusks.

For a moment, every adventurer had their eyes glued to the spectacle, a myriad of questions flooding their minds.

"What...is that monster?" Shakti breathed out, her fear audible in her voice. She glanced to the right, where Finn shook his head.

It was humongous, nothing like she'd seen before. A monster of its size...could it be a Monster Rex? If it was, the fact that she didn't recognize it was almost harrowing in itself. She'd fought the Udaeus before, and the mere possibility that this boar was stronger than the skeletal warrior sent chills down her spine.

Riveria gulped. "I don't know."

Aiz instinctively reached for her sword, even though she was still being carried.

And the last Elf, who Shakti did not recognize, took several steps back, clutching her staff timidly. "Do...do monsters normally fight each other?"

"No, they don't," Riveria said, her eyes calmly analyzing the unfolding scene. "But that Boar...I do not think it is a monster of the Dungeon. It is a construct of magic. Almost like a spell."

Shakti turned her head sharply. "I didn't know magic could do that."

Riveria's eyes narrowed. "Neither did I."

Shakti gripped her sword. The only question now was who the caster was. It couldn't possibly be Godou, could it?

Finn hefted his spear, letting it rest on his shoulders as his lips dropped to form a ponderous frown. "I want to see Godou fight." His eyes then flicked to the newly summoned monster. "But I would rather not go near that."

Shakti felt like she was caught between a rock and a hard place. The Boar was definitely above Level Five, if the ease it had in manhandling the Goliath was any indication. But there was also no guarantee that Godou was safe.

"We have to help Godou," she stated again. "He's not trained for this."

"Perhaps not," Finn agreed. "But anybody that can take down Bete should have no problem surviving that."

It took a moment for Shakti to comprehend his words. "Bete? You mean Bete Loga?"

Finn nodded. She felt her eyes grow wide.

"The Werewolf close-quarters specialist? The Level Five?"

This time the whole Familia nodded, and Aiz quickly added, "one hit."

She took a few steps back. "I...I thought he was just an ordinary boy, a chef at the Hostess."

Riveria smirked. "He does seem to give off that impression. But I believe it is by choice, rather than design. He is an enigma our goddess has devoted quite a fair amount of time in trying to solve."

The sharp scream that pierced the air as the Boar chucked the Goliath into the air cut the conversation short. Judging by the loud splash, it'd landed in the lake and the entire group remained quiet even during the subsequent drizzle.

They were too captivated with watching the Boar melt into the ground, obediently allowing the shadowy tendrils that erupted from th

e ground to drag it back to whatever hell it had come from.

"Magic," Riveria confirmed.
