Going Deeper......

Currently we were making our way back to dungeon after sending junior and his supporter to his goddess. It was already evening now by the end of all that hassle. (In anime it was night time when they meet up with Hestia. Sword Oratoria ep-10, end part.)

To say nether the less Crystal was quite surprised when she found us back in the recall room with a couple of known and unknown people and had to explain her the situation so she won't be overthinking too much.

"Teleportation should be impossible, how did you even make armors with that ability? Its something only some gods have access to, that also when their arcanum is unsealed. We elves with thousands of scholars and top mages studied space and time magic for who know how many years and you just understand it just like that?" Said Riveria in disbelief after I told about recall ability of our armor (not mirror) and telling her I am planning to sell recall stones (recall potion in crystal form) with similar effect in near future.

"Well proof is in front of you. Our armors have this ability and how about your Familia become our Patron. You will get some discounts and early access to future or premium goods and services." I gave another offer to her.

"Its not something I can decide on my own but you get your answer after the expedition." she said after calming down a bit.

"Hmm" I just nodded my head. 'Nice having Loki as a backer will surely help. I wanted to make a deal with Freya too but she is up to no good I can tell that after today's incident. So no connection with her, at least till I figure her out.'

Currently we were making our way to 18th floor to regroup with everyone else and continue our journey down.

.

After a while we reach the 18th floor where we meet with the rest of the group waiting for us. There Riveria explain the situation and my offer to higher ups of her familiar. Hearing about the recall ability of our armors they also looked shock just like Riveria.

After a couple minutes of talk we set of to dungeon diving again.

Thou everyone was curious where we were but nobody dared to ask the elites any question upright and move along the flow, waiting for the right movement to ask.

{Current group location: Rocky Deserts of 49th floor_ South west region_ Moving toward the way point of 50th floor}

{Time: 11:26 AM_ around 5 days since the exploration began}

{Canon Timeline: 1 month and 6 days since the start of canon}

BOOM! BOOM!

ROARRR

SLASH SLASH

EXCALIBURRRRRRRR!

BOOOOM!

"FRONT LINE KEEP THEM AT BAY! MAGES USE AREA SPELLS AT THE GROUP COMING FROM LEFT SIDE! AIS, TIONA, SHADES FALL BACK!" shouted our captain as more of those goat monsters 'Fomoir' and some burning magma rock golem things were putting pressure the front line. And to make things more chaotic a new group of around 50 fomoir were also coming our way from left side of our exploration group.

But the biggest problem was our trio of battle crazies who jump head first into the enemy line. Yes you guessed right Ais, Tiona and Shades were going crazy over here.

I can understand Shades and Tiona, one was a berserker and other was to exited about her weapon. Both were releasing their weapon's enchantment attack left and right clearing groups after groups of monsters which reduce a lot of pressure from the front line but also mess up the coordination.

But what got into that spirit girls head? She don't look the berserk type to me or is she one?

"TANKS FUNNEL THEM TOWARD LEFT!"

"RIVERIA GET READY TO RELEASE YOU SPELL!"

"STRIKERS TAKE DOWN THOSE STRAY ONES!"

After the trio were back in their position Finn told the tanks which include Shades to direct the monsters in a single spot for Riveria to finish them with one single powerful spell. As for those stay ones not funneled, we striker force were to handle them.

"BLA BLA BLA....MY NAME IS ALF!"

After they were gathered Riveria finished her super long and cringey speech of a magic chant and barbecued those cows. I wonder, if we can eat them?

...

Battle finished after around one and a half hour since it started and after that we started butchering out the loot from the piles of monster corpses. I was simply cutting my share of them with my sword and storing the loot in my inventory and converting the stones into points in front of everyone.

Shades was also helping me in the side by mining some stones and ores in return he ate a couple of magic stones of these monsters, reaching level 4 but his strength with the armor matches that of a new level 6.

"Damn, I also want some weapons so sharp and a armor with a sub space storage ability." said a guy beside me.

"Haha, keep dreaming. This stuff is not for sale." I replied mockingly to him.

"HA HA HA, no boy, your a good crafter to be honest. In my long life I never saw such incredible items." said a old but strong dwarf elder beside me, genuinely impressed.

After we collected everything we can, we continue our journey to the safe zone of 50th floor.

....

In the last 5 days Shades has shown his reliability and intelligence on several occasions, even going as far as saving some members of party by taking a hit or two but his armor was really really hard for the attacks to pass through. So no losses but he earned some respect and trust from fellow members. I also made up a story of feeding him magic stones of smarter monsters like imps which cause him to mutate into a stronger and smarter variant who can learn how to speak one or two activation chant like Excalibur.

I also made up a story of my armor having a small storage space where I keep my essentials (which can become truth with void bag) and me send rest of the loot which is not needed back to base with teleportation. Which everyone believed, Finn even asked me about the price to pre order a storage artifact. To which I said we will talk about it back at the surface.

Author here- Well I was reading some other danmachi ff (Is it wrong to employ cute girls in store, very good story) and I realize my story is completely hollow and one dimensional.

No character development and no proper relationship. I also left Crystal as a side character and Shades, he just looks like a puppet now, not a friend. I think there's a need for some development between them.

I am thinking of making Crystal like mature big sister type who is a bro con (our MC). Virgin single dog here, no experience with opposite gender. Not a harem dreamer guy who fantasize about picking girls like Pokémons (threesome at most).

I really want to thank you all reading this, for supporting this hollow story.

Suggest me ideas how I can fix this story or should I rewrite it.
