"Who are you!?" Riveria gritted her teeth, 'This is the worst... Someone unknown went inside our perimeter while we're being besieged...' Those who recovered thanks to Line's healing magic are now surrounding the two cloaked and masked people instead of going back to the frontlines. What everyone wanted to know is how they suddenly appeared in the middle of their camp without anyone noticing, 'Invisibility? But I should've felt their presence because of the magic they used.'
The first one to speak is Yoruichi, with her deep muffled voice, "Hi~! I'm totally not suspiscious~!" She said it while wearing something that would toast a normal person in summer.
Kisuke looked at her and said, "What? You're going with that?" He then looked back to Riveria while feigning a cough, "Ehem... Hello there, Alf-san~! I'm Totallylegitimatemerchant!"
"Eh? That's not what I mean... Well, whatever... I suppose it's a good enough name. What should we do?"
'What's up with these two?' Riveria became even more confused at their motives.
But instead of answering Yoruichi's question, Kisuke asked Riveria, "Want some help?"
"Help?" Riveria furrowed her brows.
Kisuke nodded, "Of course, it won't be for free~. I'll ask someone to take the payment from the Twilight Manor later."
"And what if I disagree?"
"You don't really have a choice, do you?" Riveria could tell that the unknown individual is giving her a large smile despite his face being covered. And just what as he said, she doesn't have much choice, but she still couldn't agree.
Understanding what she's thinking, Kisuke reached a decision, 'It's better to move than just waiting for her. We're going to help them, regardless.' He then turned to Yoruichi, "Push those guys away, please~."
"What are you...?" Riveria's eyes widened and she took a stance, ready to wave her staff around. The other members also did the same but didn't attack immediately as one of them is still holding Line who just healed them.
Yoruichi didn't wait for Riveria's question to finish as she raised her right leg and stomped it with a shout, "Haah!!!"
A small earthquake manifested after her move and minute cracks appeared all over where they are all standing. The Riveria was about to command everyone to restrain them but before she could do so, she heard shouts of surprise from the frontlines. Looking back, the ground between the fighting Loki Familia and caterpillar monsters rushed up with spikes, piercing through some monsters and pushing away the rest, "...What?" Riveria could mutter such a question and, obviously, nobody could answer her.
"That's some fine control~." Kisuke giggled and stabbed his sword, two inches, to the ground before muttering, "Kyoumon (Mirror Gate)." Transparent walls of iridescent colors suddenly erected from the space created by Yoruichi. When the walls reached around 5 meters high, the same transparent energy film covered the top.
Both Kisuke and Yoruichi's expression changed under their mask as they suddenly felt the Dungeon reacting to the barrier. However, the Dungeon didn't do anything further than the Mana in the surrounding became more turbulent. They looked at each other and decided to continue what they're doing and observe as it seems to be a good chance to observe the Dungeon.
The caterpillars got back up and splurted their acids towards the wall. However, the moment it made contact, the acid bounced back with greater velocity towards the caterpillar that released it and melted under its own attack, "Hmmm... It's effective, but it won't last for an hour under these kinds of attacks." Kisuke evaluated the situation.
Riveria was shocked at the effectiveness of his 'magic', but she's more surprised to the fact that this 'magic' doesn't seem to be emitting any Mind like all magic she encountered in her life. And more so the fact that he only muttered a few words to cast such a strong barrier which would take her a minute of incantation to do the same, 'Who are they...?' Aside from obvious cautiousness, curiosity arose from her. She then recalled the strange thing that Line did and their sudden appearance to catch Line, 'Are they related...?' Although very unlikely, Riveria couldn't throw away this line of thinking for some reason, especially after remembering Line's smile.
Pulling out his sword from the ground, Kisuke then pointed it upwards, and a small hole was created on top of the barrier. Yoruichi first jumped out and Kisuke set Line down slowly before following Yoruichi outside and closing the hole.
Riveria became nervous when she saw them leave and close the hole and was about to instruct others to break the wall even if it seems to be protecting them. She just couldn't put her trust in the unknown individuals with unknown abilities, "Don't." A single word from Kisuke, however, stopped her from her tracks, 'W-what's this pressure!?'
After scaring Riveria for a bit, Kisuke and Yoruichi then started slaughtering the monsters at their own pace. Yoruichi used her Hakuda (Hand-to-Hand Combat) techniques to destroy the monsters' insides before moving away so that their acids won't be able to touch her. Kisuke, on the other hand, used his sword normally to kill the monsters as their acid doesn't really affect it as its a Mana construct.
And a minute later, they managed to kill about a hundred each, "Hey, Totallynotsuspicious! I already got my hundredth kill~! And by the way, your name is too long!".
"Don't be proud, Totallylegitimatemerchant, I'm already at my hundredth-sixth kill~! And I don't want to hear that from you! Calling yourself a legit merchant is too much, you scammer!"
Despite the tense situation, the two started a verbal conflict and Riveria doesn't know how to take it, "Seriously... Where did these two come from?"
Then a second later, a figure rushed to the crowd of monsters while enveloped by sharp winds, reducing the monsters that came in her way into pieces, "Ais!" Riveria shouted the name of the newcomer.
Kisuke and Yoruichi also looked towards the golden-haired Adventurer, who is followed by the rest of the Loki Familia members who came down to get the water of the Cadmus Spring.
Kisuke stopped slaying the monsters and waved at them, "Hi there, Wallenstein-san and friends from Loki Familia, My name is Totallynotascammer and that over there is Miss Sexybutt, and we're here to he..." Before he could finish his sentence, however, a rock flew over and hit the back of his head with a loud thud, "Ow! What are you doing, Miss Sexyass?" The rock broke into pieces from the force of the impact, "If you hit other than me, then they'll sue you!"
"I'll sue your ass! Stop talking about my butt to everyone!" Yoruichi threw another rock towards Kisuke but he dodged it this time.
Finn and the rest of the main party didn't know what to make out of their greeting but they are cautious against them and didn't return their greetings. Finn immediately commanded everyone to go back to the camp where the rest seems to be trapped inside a barrier.
Since Ais focused on slaying the monsters, the first ones to arrive at the camp is Bete, Tiona, and Tione, and their first move is to attack it.
"Wait! Stop!" Riveria tried to warn them but it's already too late as their attacks landed on the surface of the barrier and immediately sent them away, "Eh!!?" It's a good thing that they were able to hold their attacks back when they heard Riveria, or else, they won't be just sent away without any injuries.
