==Summary==
<tabber>
JP=
The white elf swears. To devote his loyalty to the goddess.<br> 
The dark elf engraves. Only just that one thought.<br>
The small ones cry. To change four regrets into power.<br>
The chariot advances. Sacrificing everything but the goddess.<br>
And lastly, the King asks.<br>
Not for an illusion or a deception, but for proof of power.<br>
"One that cannot surpass me, is not worthy of saving the goddess."<br>
No one is wrong.<br>
This is simply, a battle unlike any seen before to break through the goddess's ego.<br>
So, the boy who was scarred more than anyone else, declared "hypocrisy" to the twilight sky.<br>
"I promised to save her."<br>
This is the boy's journey, the goddess writes.<br>
Familia Myth

|-|EN=
"Orario has never seen a War Game like this!"

The Labyrinth City is finally free from Freya's charm, and the people are angry. Feeling violated, many are demanding that the Goddess of Beauty be severely punished. Some are even demanding blood.

Of course, none of them are ready to take on ''Freya Familia'', who is widely considered to be the strongest familia in the whole city - none except ''Hestia Familia'' and their few allies, who must fight harder than they've ever fought if they want even the slimmest chance of keeping Bell out of Freya's clutches!

==Trivia==
*The volume was reduced to 640 pages in total, the same amount as [[DanMachi Light Novel Volume 14|volume 14]], by increasing the amount of text per page, making it the largest volume in the series. Oomori further commented that, if the removed scenes were counted, the total was more than 800 pages.
**Oomori later reused a story cut from the volume and turned it into [[Familia Chronicle Episode Ryuu 2]].
*Originally, [[Horn]] and [[Heith Velvet|Heith]]'s status sheets were planned to be released in the limited edition booklet, but they were cut out due to the limit of pages. However, Oomori later published [[:File:Horn's Status Sheet.jpg|both o]][[:File:Heith's Status Sheet.jpg|f them]] to celebrate volume 18's reissue.<ref>https://twitter.com/fujinoomori/status/1623973014881828864</ref>
