Chapter 464: Second Dungeon Conquest
-----
[Day 191]
Yesterday was spent mostly relaxing. I wanted some nice time with Benladann for the most part, the Japanese-like palace was also pretty even while being repaired, it honestly felt as if we moved to live a few days in a Japanese resort or something, with Japanese food and all, it was very pleasant.
Today in the morning, however, I had decided to come clear the second Dungeon, this time I wasn't going to take long, I brought all my tamed pets, including the monstrous Kumo, who will deal with the Spider Queen down here.
Mikohime also joined us, alongside her dragon, Tsukuyomi. The two of them were pretty strong, especially Mikohime who had the power of the five elemental spirits she contracted with.
We rushed downstairs with all our might, Miranda had decided to join but I left Benladann in the palace. Actually, I was with her right away, this second body I was using to go to the dungeon was not truly the real me, or well, not my main body. This one second body was mostly made up of flesh and slime.
But it was still pretty strong. Well, if things go badly, I can always go down there to beat some skulls myself but for now, I am cuddling with Benladann while reading her books I had replicated using the System's ability to read my memories even from the past, and replicated them perfectly using a writing clone and wrote down a few of my favorite book volumes, such as the Lord of the Rings, Chronicles of Narnia, most of Julio Verne Books, and so on, mostly classics, although I do plan in bringing in the more weeb stuff later, even replicating manga doesn't seem so hard…
Meanwhile, using my clone, I delved into the dungeon with everyone. It felt like I was playing a game or something, but it was still quite fun… we easily slain spiders from left and right, taking short breaks where Mikohime ate a lot of boiled legs and tempura legs.
After that, we reached the tenth floor where we were greeted by a giant queen, she was almost the same as Kumo, but Kumo had recently evolved so she was overpowered against her, and overwhelmed her, abusing her enhanced Super Mana Drain to absorb the Mana of her adversary faster than the other cold absorb it from her. it resulted in a surprisingly easy raid, it only took around half a day, and we came back with the spoils such as the massive corpse of a spider queen and its Rank 4 Mana Core, which I will consume later.
After everything was over, I had also made sure to conquer that dungeon and made it my own in secret, quickly fusing it over the other Dungeons too, and finally managing to Rank Up my Dungeon into a Rank 4 one! Now, in any selected area I want, there can be Rank 4 monsters!
However, the requirements for these to be summoner are harsh, I need a crap ton of Mana! Well, that mana will be accumulated by the fused dungeon, but yeah, they will spawn rather slow… very slow, they will be more like bosses in how slow they spawn rather than wild monsters.
However, we are making progress. With this, we got secured a resource for Rank 4 Mana Cores, which will come greatly in handy from now on! Hehehe…
After everyone came back from the raid, we moved down with Benladann and we began to celebrate, grilling the massive corpse of the spider queen was one of such parts, like making grilled shrimp or crab, we covered her with spices and butter, her entire massive body, and then using a lot of magic we made a gigantic bonfire, and we began to grill her down.
After around two hours, the massive corpse had turned completely red, and it was ready to eat. The rest of the body was also tasty, even the abdomen and head had all tender white meat inside and it was juicy! We wasted a lot of butter and other spices on it, but it was all worth it, the entire sect ate to their heart's contents.
We celebrated around a big table while eating all we wanted, we laughed and celebrated, and we enjoyed the nice and beautiful night sky.
After the dinner which lasted very long, we all hit the bed and slept like logs until the next day…
[Day 192]
Today I woke up to a cute little Miranda who had sneaked into our bed, sleeping in between me and Benladann…
"Muh…"
Miranda released a cute little sound while sleeping, as I poked her little nose.
"Muhhh…"
Boop.
"Muuhh!"
She was grumpy even while sleeping, I see…
She woke up after a bit of teasing, as she opened her eyes wide and grew redder.
"Uwah! Eh? Ah? Huh? W-Why am I here? D-Did we do… it!?" she asked in shock.
"What? No? We just all fell asleep after drinking too much." I said.
"Ohhh… I-I see… Hehe… Hahaha… N-Not like I thought something else would had happened or something!" she said.
"Okay, alright~ Anyways, now that we are awake how about we do it anyways?" I asked.
"Huh? D-Do what?" she asked while looking at me nervously.
"Do… it…" I said with a mischievous and coquettish smile, Miranda began to grow redder and redder, it was a sight to behold.
"D-Drake I am not prepared yet… I-I…" she muttered.
"Yeah, I am going to eat Mana Cores!" I said.
"Geh… You idiot!" she said angrily, as she cuddled with Benladann while she was still sleeping like a log.
"Eh? What did you think I would do?" I asked. I knew what she thought I would do though, I was just teasing her, hehe.
"You were teasing me!" she said.
"Is teasing that bad of a thing? Then I apologize…" I sighed.
"Let me sleep for now… You can eat your stupid mana cores…" she said angrily.
"Damn, you're so grumpy… well, that makes you cuter…" I said.
