The Ultimate Lich King

"Lord Ganesha, Lord Ganesha! It's not good, something bad is going to happen!"

In a corner of the arena where the heat wave hit, there was action.

The monster festival is still going on at this moment. The animal trainer jumped on the back of the little dragon waving its long neck like a horse racing, and people's excitement was about to reach its climax.

"To tell you the truth, I am none other than Ganesha!"

"No, I know that! No need to introduce yourself now!"

The uppermost auditorium of the arena. Ganesha, who was watching the ceremony from a position with a clear view of the entire arena, struck a strange pose when he saw the members rushing in, as if to show off his elephant mask.

The members burst into tears at the strange behavior of their main god, and reported the emergency situation.

"The captured monster escaped! The cage is empty!"

"...Hey, isn't that tragic?"

"That's why I can't say it right!"

The members yelled at Ganesha who suddenly stopped moving, indicating the urgency of the matter.

Including that the guard in the basement was defeated by someone, someone in the guild was also victimized, and judging from the above situation, this commotion should be caused by outside thieves.

Ganesha, who listened with a serious expression, asked in a low voice while listening to the entire report.

"How many monsters escaped, no, how many monsters were released?"

"Nine, nine heads. Among them are monsters that even skilled adventurers find difficult to deal with..."

The calm Ganesha did not waver. He said "hmm" and shook the elephant mask on his face.

A shrill scream came from center field. The trainer who was confronting the dragon at close range opened his palms in front of his opponent as if to say "stop". After a low growl came from the monster's throat, it lowered its head to the ground submissively, stretched out its tongue and licked the trainer's hand.

The scene immediately burst into cheers. The beautiful animal trainer who led the dragon and raised her hands to the audience received unstinting applause and cheers from the audience.

"Okay, urgently hunt down those monsters! And join forces with other 'familiar clans'! Go and ask the gods present to provide assistance!"

"Please, please wait! No matter what the process is, letting the monster escape is our failure. If we use the power of other forces, it will not only disgrace us, but also allow our opponents to take advantage of it..."

"I am the 'Group Leader Ganesha'! How can we let the citizens who are supposed to protect us be harmed! Our greatest happiness is the smiles of our children, even if we give up our status and reputation!"

"O-yes! I'm so sorry!"

"The festival continues! Don't let the spectators who are currently in the arena go out, and don't let them know that the monster has escaped! You must not do anything that causes chaos, okay?"

"I, I understand. There is one more thing, about the search for the person who released the monster..."

"It doesn't matter, don't worry about it. This person didn't let go of all the captured monsters, which shows that he didn't intend to arbitrarily expand the number of victims. I think this person has another 'purpose'. To attack in the east or in the west, or to disrupt... Although it is annoying, But let’s do what he wants. We must put the safety of citizens as our top priority!”

Go for it! Upon hearing Ganesha's order, the members immediately rushed outside.

Only five minutes had passed since it was confirmed that the monsters had escaped en masse. Under the command of God, the ‘Ganesha Familia’ took a quick response.

"The monster escaped!?"

When Ganesha noticed something strange.

Eina and others who were waiting near the main entrance of the arena also received this information.

"Hmm, um. It is said that the west team saw the monster escaping from the arena. The 'Ganesha Familia' is also busy dealing with it... What should we do, Eina?!"

Although Aina was stunned for a moment, she immediately switched consciousness and raised her willow eyebrows.

With a resolute expression, she said to her friend who was about to burst into tears:

"Anywhere is fine, feel free to get in touch with any 'familiar' nearby! There are also adventurers!"

"Is it okay to make such arbitrary decisions? I don't know what the higher-ups will say in the future..."

The guild staff currently present, including Aina, are all grassroots staff. This is because when an accident occurred at Ximen, all the superiors, including the team leader, went there in order to supplement manpower.

Colleagues around me also expressed obvious uneasiness about the unauthorized action.

"It's better than being injured! Besides, God Ganesha also knows to put human life first, so he shouldn't object to us asking for help from other 'familiar clans'! It will be too late until something happens!"

"S-You're right. It would be bad if something irreparable happened."

Eina continued to convince her colleagues by pointing out Ganesha's personality of actively assisting in running the monster festival in order to please the citizens.

Perhaps because of her sincerity, other guild employees also expressed their approval of Eina after looking at each other. Soon they began to discuss their respective responsibilities and sharing.

"...Sorry, may I ask, what happened?"

Sudden.

A voice spoke to Eina and the others who were huddled together.

The moment they looked at the person who made the sound, everyone stopped.

"Ai, Aisi Wallenstein..."

Listening to the dull voice of her colleague, Eina also looked at the girl in shock.

Miniskirts that cover half of your soft thighs, and cropped tops. Although he was not wearing any armor, the rapier in its scabbard was hanging on his sword belt. Her waist-length blond hair glistened in the sunlight.

The most powerful adventurer among Orario. The existence that Eina and others dream of now is standing there.

The staff member closest to the other party hurriedly explained the whole matter to Ais.

She listened intently to what was going on, and turned around as soon as she understood the situation.

"Loki."

"Well, I heard everything. It seems it's not time for a date. Well, let's sell a favor to Ganesha."

Hearing Loki agree with a grin, the guild staff cheered together.

Like them, whose expressions became brighter, Eina was temporarily relieved, but immediately tensed her shoulders nervously.

"Then, do you know where the monster is wandering?"

"Yes, yes, according to the news, almost all the monsters went towards East Street."

East Main Street. Ye Yu, who was looking for an acquaintance just now, turned back there.

Maybe that young man stepped into the center of this incident by accident.

"Micia, what type of monster escaped?"

"Huh? Well, I remember there were... sword-horned deer, trolls, and silverback apes."

Her friend's answer made her frown tightly.

The floor where the Silverback appears is the 11th floor. Sword-horned deer and giant monsters were born in dungeons deeper than the 20th floor.

Every kind of monster is not an opponent that Ye Yu, who is still a rookie, can handle.

This will go as you wish, the monster has really appeared, so don't be brave and take your god to take refuge quickly.

She looked up at the sky in the direction of East Street.

Now Eina can only pray that Ye Yu, the guy who always makes her angry, is safe.
