They were too late. Even Anya, who was universally recognized to be dim-witted, understood that as she confirmed the scene with her eyes. Bella and the other Astrea Familia were stunned as well. This was the first time they had been to Orario's dungeon. But the place was not like the rumore said.
Anya: Nya~?
Lunoire: What is this?!
Chloe:...Is the Water Capital always such a hellish landscape~nya?
Lunoire was shaken, and Chloe's voice was heavy. They were standing at the edge of the cliff outside the passageway that led to the twenty-fifth floor.

A terrible vista sprawled below them. Rising from a raging sea of blue flames was the wreckage of what appeared to be the burned-out roots of an enormous tree. The plunge pool was filled in with a mountain of crystal debris huge enough to easily bury any living thing that might have been in the yawning cavern. The waves of blue napalm showed no sign of subsiding, sending waves of heat and billows of scalding steam toward the band of adventurers. Chloe had not exaggerated when she described the scene as hellish.
Melo: Orario's dungeon, was it always like this?
Milo: Hard to believe.
The cavern's walls and ceiling, too, appeared as if they had been crushed to pieces in the jaws of a dragon. The once beautiful watery paradise was nowhere to be seen.
Tsubaki: Nah, I've never seen it like this either.
Lemia: Looks like a floor boss went wild in this cavern... I bet you've never seen anything like this before, have you?
Even the Level 6 Lemia and the Level 5 Tsubaki couldn't help narrowing their eyes as they looked down on the decimation. Their surroundings bore the sure signs of a fierce battle rather than a natural disaster. But how much time had passed since the fighting broke out? Hours? Half a day? Had the Amphisbaena been defeated?
Balda: A floor boss from the Lower Floors in Orario, I believe was Amphisbaena.
Raquelta: I believe from what that elf said, Hestia Familia was trapped with the Floor Boss. Is it possible they defeated it?
Mejila: Possibly. It was most likely they won the fight, but chose not to head back to the surface but lower instead.
Tsubaki: Precisely.
Lemia: One thing we know for certain. We arrived too late to help.
Anya: Well...Ryuu should be on the twenty-seventh floor~nya! Let's get down there quick~nya!
Anya shouted, giving her head a good shake to clear away the swirling questions. Given her own stupidity, she realized it wouldn't do much good to stand there trying to think her way through things.
Clearly, there was nobody left in the hellfire below them. Whether on land or in the water, anything inside that inferno wouldn't have been able to breathe. That, or they had been buried alive. It was certain that searching for survivors would be a waste of time.
