The Fukaros Familia, starting from DanMachi.

Chapter 137 The Nemesis of Mages

"Two spells, four skills, and two S-rank development abilities —"

Fen Yu muttered to himself, feeling that his initial setup was nothing compared to Jeanne d'Arc.

Of course, Joan of Arc has five skills, but Fenyu knows that [Blessing of the Water God] is Fukaros's masterpiece, and Joan of Arc comes with four initial skills.

"All I can say is, she truly lives up to her title of Saintess—"

Fen Yu looked at the contents of the parchment, his lips twitching slightly. "These skills and magic are ridiculously powerful."

Joan of Arc's arrival perfectly filled the last gap in the Fukaros Familia's shield guards.

Although she is not a traditional heavy shield guard wielding a giant shield, and could even be considered an "unorthodox" playstyle, her effectiveness is no less.

The highest level of magic resistance from [Magic Resistance], the extremely high durability growth and recovery speed from the [Saint] skill, plus the magic called [My Lord Is Here] that can continuously deploy an absolute defensive barrier—

This is no longer a simple defense; it's a walking "absolute security zone"!

Although she is not a shield guard, she is better than a shield guard, and even more reassuring than any shield guard in Orario.

Fen Yu could even imagine the scene on the battlefield in the future, where Joan of Arc, under the relentless bombardment of magic from the enemy mage, would stroll leisurely to the enemy, and then, to the enemy's horrified gaze, send them flying with a single flag.

This set of skills and magic is simply the nemesis of all mages.

"With Joan of Arc joining us, our ranks are now complete."

The robin's eyes also gleamed. "Before, when we entered the dungeon, you and Tifa had to be constantly distracted to protect me and Violet. But now that we have Jeanne, you two are completely free to focus on killing monsters. This will definitely greatly improve our efficiency in conquering the dungeon."

"That's great, I'll have someone to protect me from now on."

Feng Jin happily hugged Jeanne's arm and nuzzled it affectionately, "Jeanne, I'll be relying on you from now on."

Faced with Feng Jin's enthusiasm, Jeanne nodded seriously and said, "Don't worry about it, leave it to me. I will protect everyone."

.

Next, the robin began to explain to Joan of Arc in detail the specific situation of their Fucarus Familia, as well as the customs and culture of Orario.

Although the system gave her basic common sense about this world, such as language, worldview, and basic rules, it was ultimately just "factory settings." Details about the Fukaros Spring Clan, the relationship network of various forces in Orario, and the predicament they were currently facing were all blank.

When Jeanne d'Arc learned that the Fukaros Familia was about to engage in a "war game" with the powerful Apollo Familia, her blue eyes instantly sharpened.

"Commander, is there anything I can do to help?" She immediately stood up and asked in a firm tone.

Fen Yu smiled and waved his hand: "Don't be nervous. You've just arrived and are still a newcomer. Just treat this as an opportunity to observe, learn, and experience the atmosphere. Leave the battlefield to me."

"Yes, yes," Feng Jin quickly pulled Jeanne down to sit and advised, "Jeanne, you've only just become an adventurer. Although your skills and magic are excellent, your basic attributes are still zero. You're still very vulnerable. It's not wise to rashly participate in a war game of this scale."

Joan of Arc was once a leader who led thousands of troops into battle. Although she often relied on her intuition brought by "revelation" to act recklessly, her basic tactical skills were not bad.

Upon learning of the despairing disparity in troop strength between the Fukaros Familia and the Apollo Familia, a deep look of worry immediately appeared on her face.

"But, Commander, four people against hundreds—and the opponents are much higher level—that's practically impossible—"

"Don't worry, Zhenbao!"

Feng Jin patted her shoulder and smiled mysteriously, "Once the war game starts, you can relax in the back, brew some red tea, prepare some snacks, and watch my Yu Bao's personal performance."

Compared to Jeanne, who was completely unaware of Fenyu's strength, Robin, Tifa, Violet, and even Fukaros, who was standing to the side, all had absolute, almost blind, confidence in Fenyu.

Seeing her companions' relaxed and confident demeanor, as if tomorrow was just a picnic or outing, Joan of Arc's worries were gradually replaced by curiosity.

She turned her gaze to the leader on whom everyone placed high hopes, and thought to herself: Perhaps, the Master really does possess the power to create miracles.

To celebrate the addition of their new companion, that evening, the entire Fukaros Familia once again made their way to that familiar place—the "Abundant Mistress" tavern.

This time, the one in control of the body is Furina, who loves drama and noise.

"Ladies and gentlemen, come with me! Tonight, let us present our lovely new member with the most magnificent welcome party, filled with delicious food and joyful laughter."

She raised her arms high, walking at the front with her head held high, like a conductor.

As soon as the heavy wooden door was pushed open, a wave of heat, a mixture of the aroma of roasted meat, the rich scent of ale, and the sweat of adventurers, rushed out.

"Welcome, meow~ Ah, it's Fenyu, meow."

The cat-girl Anya came up with light steps, her signature cat ears and tail wagging excitedly, and led the group to an empty seat by the window.

When she learned that they were celebrating the arrival of a new member, Mia, who was wiping glasses behind the bar, slowly raised her head.

Her eyes, which seemed to see right through people, narrowed, and her sharp gaze lingered on Joan of Arc for a moment.

"Oh? A newcomer?"

Mia's voice was slightly low, "You dare to join the Fukaros Familia at this critical juncture, little girl, you have quite the courage."

She put down her wine glass and waved her hand generously: "This meal is on me."

"Wow, hooray! Thank you, Mia's mom!"

Furnessa immediately let out a cheer that echoed throughout the tavern, affectionately calling out the name that only the lavish mistress and the tavern's staff would use.

Compared to Fenyu and the others who spend most of their time in the dungeon, Funinga, who often sneaks out to play, is clearly more familiar with the tavern.

Soon, food and drinks were served in a continuous stream.

The cat-girl Chloe walked over carrying a large plate of roasted meat, her bright green eyes darting around Jeanne d'Arc.

Immediately afterwards, the human girl Runova approached carrying a glass of ale. Her movements were swift and efficient, her face expressionless. As she set down the glass, she gave Joan of Arc a slight nod: "I am Runova, welcome."

Her words were concise, yet conveyed a sense of reliability.
