Danmachi: Gacha Draw

The pupils of the combat prostitute in front shrank violently, and she spoke in a panic.

Her senses, heightened by falna, made her aware of the situation ahead.

But almost at the same time, the second-level adventurer's intuition sensed an extremely dangerous presence.

Before she could react, her intuition proved to be correct!

A blurry black shadow burst into her field of vision from the end of the corridor, as fast as lightning.

The entity's presence was fleeting, and in the blink of an eye, it crossed dozens of meters in the corridor before reaching her.

It swung its iron fist in the air and attacked her at a speed that no one could perceive.

"Bang!!!"

Only the sound of the impact could be heard.

The combat whore, hit in the abdomen by the sweep, instantly lost her ritual, and her body was sent flying towards the wall beside her, which also affected her two companions.

"It's the enemy! There's an intruder!!"

The three companions were eliminated in an instant, but the combat whores, with their excellent combat qualities, quickly reacted in panic and swiftly armed themselves to prepare for a fight.

"Don't worry. I personally have no intention of fighting to the death with you.

I just hope that you can rest for a while."

Link clenched his fists, his knuckles cracking, and then easily deflected the incoming strike with his elbow.

Relying solely on his boxing skills, he faced the joint assaults of nearly ten combat whores and still seemed able to contend with ease.

Now, with the refinement of Bajiquan, it could be said that their close combat skills had reached an extremely high level.

The fighting techniques that these combat prostitutes were proud of were completely flawed in Link's view.

"Boom!"

A heavy punch was thrown, striking the shoulder of the prostitute fighting in front of him at a tricky angle.

The woman who was hit from the side crashed into the wall, shattering it to pieces and creating a large hole.

"The movement is a bit stronger... What kind of material is this wall made of? Is it a shoddy project..."

Link couldn't help but express his disgust.

He swore he never wanted to break this wall; he only aimed to stun the enemy in front of him.

Who would have known that this wall would be so unyielding?

The shoddy project had been executed!

"You bastard!! How dare you...?!"

Before the Amazon could finish speaking, Link saw the woman attacking him fly through the air as he kicked her away.

"Bang!!!"

The whip-like leg sliced through the air and struck her directly. She was forced to bend due to the strong impact and was thrown out the next moment.

With a loud bang, the Amazon was knocked off the wall and fell to the ground, unable to get back up. 

"This kind of power is at least level 6! Who are you?" 

The last remaining fighting prostitute screamed in shock. 

You should know that even if they are level 4 or level 5, it is impossible to deal with more than ten level 3 like them so easily! 

The boy in front of her has definitely reached level 6! 

Link chuckled and did not answer her question. He simply walked over and knocked her unconscious with a single blow. 

"It's great to be young; just fall asleep." 

After getting rid of the last person, Link looked out the window towards the stone bridge in the sky where the figures were still walking. 

"The goal is so obvious that I don't need to look for it. It's very thoughtful." 

After the words were spoken, Link's figure disappeared again into the dark corner of the palace. 

Following the principle of stealth, he dealt with the combat prostitutes he encountered along the way as he flew towards the sky garden on the top floor. 

... 

The sky garden on the rooftop of the annex. 

This lofty place, almost as high as the forty-plus-story palace, is surrounded by several towers, as if protected by them.

The wide, flat garden is paved with stone slabs, leaving no gaps. 

The entire sky garden built of stone is made of special minerals. 

Illuminated by the moonlight high in the sky, these black stone slabs now have a pale, faint halo, presenting a scene like a carpet of light. 

"Samira, are you ready?" 

"It's all set. You know it by looking at it, right? Then we'll wait until the moon becomes completely round." 

Dozens of combat prostitutes gathered together, walked barefoot on the pale stone slabs, and assembled in the center of the garden. 

Most of the combat prostitutes who were originally deployed in the palace, especially the second-tier adventurers of level 3 or higher, are now almost all gathered in the sky garden. 

In the center of the solemn and dreamlike sky garden, long altars and stone pillars were constructed. 

The stone altar emitted a particularly strong light, and the three towering stone pillars radiated light and peeled off.

As soon as the pale light particles emerged, they disappeared as if absorbed by the moonlight. 

Three dark chains extended from the towering stone pillars, imprisoning the fox girl Haruhime, who was kneeling on the altar. 

Chained and sitting on her knees, she resembled a saint used for sacrifices, or a witch performing rituals to the gods.

The girl bathed in the moonlight was so beautiful that some of the Amazons stared at her in rapture. 

But that's not all. 

"Now we can finally start a war with those guys from the Freya Familia!" 

Some of the combat prostitutes made eager comments, with terrifying smiles on their faces. 

The most critical accessory, the killing stone, was set aside by a combat prostitute with a respectful expression. 

They are now waiting for the opportunity. When midnight arrives, it will be the peak of the full moon and the time when the ceremony will take place. 

"But..." 

Suddenly, someone in the crowd posed a question. It was a white-haired Amazon, the same Samira who had just responded to the big toad's words. 

"Why are there so few members of our combat group?" 

Confusion was evident on her face as she looked at the dozens of family members around her with a very puzzled expression. 

It's not that she had any other thoughts... had she suddenly realized that something was amiss? 

In the highest hall of the temple, Ishtar, who had been observing the sky garden, also expressed doubt. 

"What's going on? Why are there so few people?" 

Looking from an elevated position, Ishtar could directly see the situation of the sky garden below. 

The first thing she noticed was the change in personnel. 

The fighters within her own clan should not be limited to this. 

As the chief goddess, Ishtar was naturally well aware of the number of dependents under her command. 

Counting the cadres and other combat prostitutes, the number would definitely exceed a hundred. 

However, the total below, which was only about sixty or seventy people, clearly indicated to her that something was wrong. 

Where had nearly a third of the members gone? 

"Tammuz!" 

"Present!" 

Ishtar called out to the young attendant behind her, who immediately lowered her head and knelt to respond. 

"Go and find out what's going on! Where are the missing people? I want to know!!" 

"Yes!" 

The young attendant replied firmly.

After receiving the signal from the goddess, he immediately sprang into action.

His figure left the room and disappeared into the darkness of the hallway.
