Chapter 76: Back to the Dungeon

On the way towards the dungeon, Zehe couldn't stop talking about how many Dungeon Points we have accumulated or if the Dungeon Missions were finally completed.

Sigh…

When we finally reached the dungeon and got inside, I found that the colossal amount of Blood Monsters has been reduced to a nice amount, but they still spawned quite quickly, as we walked downstairs, countless Blood Monsters began to spawn everywhere.

When we reached the last floor, we found Yurai who was sleeping over a big pile of Magic Cores.

"Another monster?"

When Yurei felt our presence, she woke up and rushed at me.

Zehe became scared over Yurei "aggressiveness" as she took her [Legendary] Staff and began to chant a powerful spell.

"W-Wait, Zehe! She is just a summoned monster!"

"Eh?"

Yurei jumped over me and began to hug me, I didn't remember her being this close to me before. Her semi-corporeal slime was very cold too, freezing my entire body.

"M-Master! I have evolved, just as you said…! W-Who is she? Is she a big sister?"

I had to explain Zehe that Yurei was the result of an experiment I did combining different slimes and a ghost. Zehe became quite surprised over the capabilities of my skills and found Yurei very cute.

After evolving into a Phantasmal Slime Specter Empress, Yurei's figure became more detailed, and she didn't seem as slimy as before. Her curves were way more accentuated and her breast grew about three times its original size. Her face also became more refined and she gained an organic armor in the form of a cute white dress. She also became way stronger and obtained a strange crystal ball where she was able to trap the souls of the monsters she has killed and use their power to cast powerful Soul and Ghost magic spells.

Although Zehe wanted to speak with Yurei some more, she couldn't resist the urges to inspect the Dungeon Core as she rushed in and waved her hand telling me to update it by touching it.

When I touched it, several holographic windows appeared out of thin air, showing the Dungeon Progress alongside completed tasks.

[Dungeon Traits]

[High Blood Monster Affinity] [Cursed Monster Affinity] [Extra EXP]

It seems that as the population increases, the dungeon gains EXP naturally, passively leveling while we were outside. Managing to reach level 5 in these days, and even being pretty close to level 6.

As the dungeon grew in level its quality also increased. I wonder how long will it take to get to S quality.

While Zehe saw the new amount of DP obtained, she began to think about what to spend it. We currently had 9100 DP, and I was thinking over doubling the Magic Cores obtained or the EXP gained with those Dungeon Skills. But Zehe wanted to complete the Tasks.

Suddenly, I remembered that I had some Tickets for the Dungeon Gacha that I obtained from the Water Shrine Dungeon Reward Gifts.

As soon as I took them off my Item Box, Zehe jumped over me asking me to give them to her.

Sigh…

I ultimately let Zehe do the Gacha spin as I gave her the Tickets, these were one single pull ticket for a [Rare+] guaranteed monster. The other was a Premium Gacha Ticket for 10+1 Pull, which guaranteed a [Unique] monster.

I always wondered what kind of beast we would get from this Gacha. I watched as Zehe used these tickets on the [Shop] section of the System, both tickets slowly turned into light and dissipated, as several magic circles began to appear around the room, exchanging colors and creating a machine-like sound.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

Suddenly, 12 different monsters from all shapes and colors appeared over the magic circles, staying motionless.

[Ice Ogre (Common++)] x3, [Living Sack of Treasures (Rare++)] x2, [Golden Turtle Snake of Enhancement (Rare+++)] x2, [Furious Demonic Ant Princess (Unique)] x1, [Black Skeleton Warlord (Rare+++)] x1, [Pure Shadow Demon Concubine (Rare++)] x1, [Eight Handed Living Armor (Rare++)] x1, [Seasoned Half Poison Lord (Unique+)] x1]

After seeing the new monsters, I began to inspect their behaviors and stats. Most of them would remain motionless until I gave them an order. The most intelligent ones like the Demonic Ant Princess and the Seasoned Half Poison Lord would be more assertive.

The Ice Ogres looked were five meters tall hairy ogres with a white-blue skin, they had strong muscles and seemed quite capable, but only were of common rank.

Living Sack of Treasures was a just like its name said, it was a walking leather sack full of gold and gems. The description that the system gave me told me that they could be sold for DP. Meanwhile, Golden Turtle Snakes of Enhancement were small golden snakes with a shell that seemed to be made of solid gold. They could be sold for DP or used to enhance a Summoned Gacha Monster level instantly. Although I could just eat them, it would be a waste, it's better to use them to make the Gacha Monsters stronger and obtain more DP.

Furious Demonic Ant Princess was a type of insect demi-human similar to Arachnes, but instead of the half of a spider, it's an Ant. This Queen, in particular, was rather beautiful, she had a small size and a nice and slim belly, with a medium pair of breasts. She had a long and purple hair with two golden eyes and a cute smile whenever I ordered her to do something.

The Ant Queen came with the skill [Demonic Ant Egg Production] and several others, which made her able to reproduce without the need to mate. With this skill, we can quickly diversify the Dungeon population. A monster that can just produce countless monster by herself is surely deserving to be of [Unique] Class.

Black Skeleton Warlord and Eight-Armed Living Armor were strong Undead type monster, probably stronger than the original bosses of this dungeon, they could be a nice addition to my Kingdom, but I will leave them here leveling for now. Although I don't get the point of making a monster stronger here if I'm just going to kill it afterward for EXP, unless the rewarded EXP and Magic Core are incredibly good, it would be a waste of a soldier.

Pure Shadow Concubine was beautiful demon woman of around my size, she had a beautiful and curvy figure with pale pink skin and two beautiful horns coming from the sides of her head, she had a cute smile and enchanting red eyes. Her breasts were colossal and her legs smooth and beautiful, she was indeed made for mating. But she had other skills and was rather strong on her own.

Maybe I could use her on my Kingdom to produce children of humanoid races, mating with several men. Something different than the brothels, which only satisfy men. This girl would keep producing children to make the foundation of soldiers strong. She didn't talk, but she looked at me as if she was waiting for me to have sex with her.

Lastly, the strongest monster was the Seasoned Half Poison Lord, a subspecies of the Lord race. This woman was rather beautiful too, having a more slim and tall body, with medium-sized breasts and long legs. She had a calm and composed face, but it was very refined and enchanting. She had two small horns on her forehead and her skin was of a pale purple while her hair was completely purple. She was very strong and for a moment, I considered eating her. Unlike the Arachne, she cannot reproduce herself either. So, there isn't much point into leaving her here aside from tirelessly training.

After inspecting all the monsters, Zehe told me that their presence alone would boost the EXP gained and the dropping chance of Rare+ Magic Cores. She also discovered another function, she found out that we can use Summoned Monsters from the Gacha and send them on an "Expedition", which would disappear them for some time, and they would be back with Magic Cores, Gold and DP alongside being leveled up. It was a rather interesting system and it really reminded me of Earth's mobile games. What kind of god made this?

I decided to first Enhance the Ant Princess with the two Golden Turtle Snakes as she reached level 40/100 in one go, her stats skyrocketed in mere seconds, I wish we could use these too… We also sold the three Living Sacks of Treasures and obtained 6000 DP, so they are 2000 DP each one.

After doing this, we sent all the monsters we summoned on a [Expedition], but there was a problem, Expeditions needs 20 monsters. So, we first choose the strongest Blood Monsters around, which were all rare mutations and variants.

When we had all the monsters on place, I selected [Expedition] on the system screen and a small box with 20 spaces appeared out of thin air, I selected the desired monsters as they suddenly disappeared out of our sight. When the box was ready, I pressed [Start Expedition] and the box opened, showing small anime-like figures of the monsters walking on a forest while defeating monsters and passively gaining small amounts of EXP, Gold, and DP.

[Expedition 20/20] [Time Left: 71:59:47 Hours]

"So, it takes three days? Can we send more Expeditions?"

Zehe nodded with happiness as she showed two more Expedition slots open. We quickly packed them with the strongest Blood Monsters, Floor Guardians included, and we sent them off.

Zehe told me that the [Expedition] feature was unlocked after pulling the Gacha ten times and reaching level 4. I wonder if there are more weird features from more video games.

We spent the rest of the day completing Tasks and buying monsters and items. At the end of the day, the Dungeon Reached level 6 and we bought 1000 High Blood Monsters and completed a task obtaining 7000 more DP. With this, we managed to buy more Totems and we expanded the Dungeon using 5000 DP. After expanding the Dungeon, it gained an extra floor that could fit even more monsters. We also bought the skills [Super EXP], [Magic Core x2], [Mega EXP], [Magic Core x3] alongside [Blood Monster Breeding Efficiency].

After buying every Skill possible, some more showed up, these were: [Transcendent EXP], [Gold Drop], [Precious Gems Drop], [Increased Magic Core Rarity] and [Random Equipment Drop (Common-Rare+++)]. Unlike the previous skills, these were incredibly costly, and we hit a progression wall once again as the Task asked us to buy these Skills to keep advancing.

Zehe began to cry as she was about to buy these but lacked DP, so we decided to call it a day. I packed the Magic Cores that Yurei farmed for me and we all three went back to the Kingdom. It was already night outside.

When we arrived at the castle it was already dinner time and everyone was having a nice meal, I used this opportunity to present Yurei to everyone, my wives have never seen an intelligent ghost before, so they were surprised. Redgaria found it amusing that I was able to create a new subspecies of Ghost and Slimes like this and even give it its own soul, calling me a complete cheater.

For the first time since she was born, Yurei tasted physical food, as she was quickly enamored by it. Nereid was annoyed over her presence, saying that she was taking her spotlight on the group.

Most of my wives were wondering about Yurei strength, as she was always releasing quite the intimidating aura without noticing, her growth in power was quite quickly, perhaps tomorrow we will have more practice battles while we prepare for the Humans, according to my minions, they will arrive tomorrow at night if nothing wrong happens.

Before sleeping, I dedicated myself to making the two remaining rings for my wives.

After around six hours, I finished making the [Poisonous Obsidian Silver Ring] for Nesiphae and the [Oceanic Aquamarine Silver Ring] for Gaby. I considered making another for Mady and even Yurei, but I will leave this for later, I need to develop a deeper relationship with them first.

When I finished, I found all my wives sleeping soundly, Nereid and Yurei were on the bed too. Nereid was being hugged as a pillow by Brontes, while Yurei was sleeping over Nesiphae. I silently rested in between Zehe and Gaby.
