On the corner of the Orario, the faces of the adventurers, who were called on this mission, were full of tension and fear, but all of them gritted their teeth to complete the mission firmly.
"How is the progress of the Knossos?"
Finn stood at the center of the square, holding a flag, trying to encourage all the adventurers in this place.
"Very smooth."
Gareth smiled sarcastically.
"As time goes on, it becomes easier to shove down the green flesh. Tonight, the green flesh is like paper, and it can be broken with a single poke. Ironically, it is getting closer and closer to the time the fallen spirits will finish their magic. They're focusing all of their energies on their chants!"
Finn moved closer to listening to the song, and gradually, the high-pinched song could be heard faintly from the entrance of the man-made dungeon, which had been dug up.
"Finn, are you sure you're not going to let people evacuate?"
Shakti came to Finn with an unacceptable expression on her stern face.
"Isn't it better to evacuate as many people as we can? Once the battle happens, or if you can't stop that magic—"
Shakti didn't continue, but the meaning of her words was clear.
The people around them would become the victims first.
"It's too late."
Finn shook his head calmly, even gloomily.
"If the "Gate of Heaven" is activated, no matter how far you escape, you won't be able to escape as long as you're inside the Orario. Everyone in this city is already uneasy because two gods have returned to heaven. If you released such news, it would cause even more chaos."
Shakti was speechless since Finn's words were true.
"Captain Finn, I have a question!"
The girl with short blue hair came to Finn's side and pushed the glasses on the bridge of her nose.
"According to the news you gave, the "Gate of Heaven" can only be used by combining the power of six spirits, right? If you kill one of those fallen spirits, will the magic stop?"
She asked questions from a professional point of view.
"I hope so too."
Finn nodded with a sigh, then smiled wryly.
"But according to Riveria, it's useless to kill one of the fallen spirits. A magic circle has been formed, and a link has been made between them. Even if you kill one of them, the rest will continue the chant. At best, we can only delay them."
The girl's expression froze when she heard the words, and she couldn't help but frown.
The most troublesome thing was the fact they had to kill six fallen spirits in order to stop the activation of the "Gate of Heaven," and missing a single one would lead to destruction.
"When I thought about it, the reason why the green flesh spread at that time was probably to accumulate magic power."
Finn looked at the man-made dungeon gloomily.
The adventurers devoured by the green flesh would turn into nutrients for fallen spirits and energy to complete the "Gate of Heaven."
"The battle is about to start. This time I will reorganize each team!"
Finn withdrew his gaze and sent instructions one by one to the leaders of the Familias in the square.
"This battle will also be divided into six teams. The first team is led by me, the second team is Riveria and Ais, and the third team is led by Gareth and Shakti from Ganesha Familia. The fourth team is....."
Everyone took the instructions carefully in their hearts.
"So that's the case...." Shakti pondered for a moment and said, "We're going to spread out the combat power of each Familia to form six teams in order to create a stronger team?"
"That's right. Last time, I took consideration between Familia and chose to form a team around the Familia members, but it caused the destruction of the Dionysus Familia, and as the commander, I have an unshrinkable responsibility!"
Finn was solemn, and there was a hint of remorse in his green eyes.
"This time, I want to avoid such a situation no matter what, and I wish you safety and success on this mission!"
"YES!"
Everyone cheered loudly and walked toward their respective teams with great determination.
"Finn! Finn!"
Tiona came running from behind with tears in her eyes.
"Where is Tsukasa? Why didn't I see him?"
"Ugh... he has other things to do. He'll be here soon."
Finn's eyes swayed right and left for a moment when he heard that question. He could even feel a sharp gaze from Riveria, which made him even more nervous, but he had to do this!
That's right.
Tsukasa wasn't in any teams and couldn't be found anywhere.
In fact, he was sent by Finn on a "very" secretive mission.
This mission was so secretive that he could tell no one, especially Tiona, Ais, Riveria, and the other female members.
Finn looked at the southern area of the Orario.
"I hope the reinforcements will arrive as soon as possible..."
Finn was helpless, and he could only let Tsukasa be sacrificed in order to save Orario!
After all, their current combat power wasn't enough.
When Finn thought about the fallen spirits in the man-made dungeon which were waiting for them like a predator, which was about to welcome their prey into their mouth, he felt the pressure on his shoulders become so heavy that he was almost crushed.
If every fallen spirit had the power of the "Bull of Heaven," it meant every fallen spirit had the power of Level 7!
Their current manpower wasn't enough, especially since the number of their high-end combat power was too small.
Fortunately, the six fallen spirits should be busy with their magic chant and unable to use other magics, so their threat was reduced. If each team is accompanied by Level 6 or Level 5 adventurers, they should be able to handle it.

"Listen, everyone!"
Ten minutes before the battle started, Finn announced what he needed to say.
"The battle is about to begin. As I have said before, you will be divided into six teams and enter the tenth floor of the man-made dungeon according to the map we have prepared, and our target this time is the six fallen spirits!"
Finn's loud shouts were conveyed in all directions through the Occulus.
"I will say in front first that in this battle, we won't gain a reputation or wealth. This incident is destined not to be known to the public, and we welcome death without being remembered by anyone, including the Dionysus Familia and me!"
Riveria lowered her head, hiding the bitterness on her expression.
Lefiya clenched her magic wand, and her eyes showed stubbornness.
All the adventurers also lowered their heads and laughed bitterly.
"But this battle is by no means pointless! If there are people who survived at the cost of everyone's sacrifice, they'll be known as the hero by everyone here! And I will never allow people to say that their deaths are pointless!"
The adventurers raised their eyes.
"We only have one goal! That is to beat up the god who is trying to mess up with our lives!"
Their eyes shone brightly.
"Those who joined this battle will be remembered by everyone here! Their voices, face, and everything in everyone's hearts, so let's win this battle!"
People clenched their fists and suppressed their fiery hearts, waiting for a chance to unleash them.
"Now, history is about to repeat itself, but this time we won't rely on others, but rely on our own hands, just like heroes who fought against the disasters that threatened the world in the past and saved this world!"
Finn raised his spears to show his spirit toward victory.
"The battle begins! Our target is the man-made dungeon, Knossos!"
"OOOOOOOOOOOHHHHH!!!"
