章 1161: 11
[Cove of Temptation:
* ( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) ]
The text of the dungeon was the same yellow color that his cooking skill used to show that a recipe was just challenging enough to make him grow, but not be so difficult to overwhelm him. Ideally he would have preferred to find a green or grey dungeon to see exactly what they were like, but the Cove of Temptation was the only one they'd found.
The dungeon entrance was a large semi-transparent veil of mist that swirled around the dungeon name and ranking. By some miracle, it was located on Dagobah Beach right on the pier and gazebo that he had managed to clear something of a direct path too.
Izuku looked over to Itsuka and Momo they were both wearing hiking gear, boots, pants, long sleeved shirts, vests, and even camping gear. They both pulled that look off, especially with the more relaxed ponytail each one wore. Honestly, it looked like they were about to go out for a summer camp trip with Itsuka being a ball of energy and Momo being the one to plan everything while being completely confused about something basic.
Like where they were going to be going to the bathroom.
Izuku himself was dressed in similar clothes. All Might was out of town for a few days so he had given Izuku the weekend off.
Which was oddly convenient.
"You have no idea how conflicted I am about this!" Itsuka pressed her palms against her forehead while glaring daggers at the dungeon entrance. The entrance just hovered there menacingly in response. "On the one hand, it's a dungeon. That means loot, monsters, exp, and basically all the other awesome stuff in games. But on the other hand, it's literally called Cove of Temptation!"
Momo looked up from her bag and looked up at Itsuka, pursing her lips with a single eyebrow raised. "Why is that bad?"
"Think about it!" Itsuka's arms went flying about as she gestured wildly around at the ocean. "Cove means water! Temptation means like sexy stuff! When you combine those two things what do you get?"
"An infection?"
Itsuka stared at Momo hard for a few moments. "Is that what really happens?"
Momo just shrugged.
"Well anyways! No, that's not what I'm talking about! Basically what I'm trying to say is that there's a very high chance of there being tentacles, the gropey kind, and a really good chance of there being some kind of clothes dissolving acid, and I do not want this to turn into a hentai!" Itsuka huffed, crossed her arms and glared at the dungeon, her face was very, very red.
That explained why she had a good bonus to masturbation. Or was it the other way around?
"Look at it this way, Itsuka," Izuku said smiling at her. "You're the highest level one here so you'll be able to cream-"
She held up a hand and gave him a sharp sigh. "Please don't use the word cream right now, Izuku." She then smiled at him and flexed her arm. "But thanks, I get what you're trying to say."
"No problem, I'm sure that we'll do great here." Even if he wasn't exactly sure what he could do or what they needed to do in the dungeon. Momo still couldn't make magic weapons, even something basic like a +1 dagger was too high level for her. So essentially they only had his spatula for magic items. "Or at least you will."
Momo stood and shouldered her backpack. "If there is combat, I'll try to make certain that Izuku and I are properly equipped."
So far their basic combat plan was Itsuka up front and hoping she can punch stuff good. Also to run away if there was anything higher level than Itsuka. They were all vaguely aware that what they were doing was probably dangerous, but curiosity and a bit of greed were driving them to give it a shot.
"Right!" Itsuka punched her open palm and looked towards the dungeon entrance. "After you, party leader."
"Right." Hopefully this was worth it.
He touched the swirling green mist and felt a pull.
[You are entering the dungeon: Cove of Temptation.
Good luck!
Tip: Don't let them grab you!]
[Itsuka Kendo: Fuck! I knew it! Fucking graby fuckers!
Momo Yaoyorozu: I feel like I should inform you, I got a notification to join you in the dungeon. I have accepted. Perhaps we don't need to all be at the entrance for it to work.]
The pull grew stronger, spreading from his hand to every part of his body. When it reached his head he felt like he had come to a sudden stop.
And then started falling. Falling towards the spot where a wooden pier crashed against the crystal clear waves of the beach. Just as he was about to crash into the ground, a tightness grabbed his stomach and pulled him back into the air. It was wrapped around his leg! Oh no! They had him!
"Itsuka! Momo! Help they have me!" He knew what Itsuka was talking about when she said tentacles! And he did not want to lose any form of virginity to them! "Help!"
"Should we get him down?" Momo asked from nearby. He caught a flash of her black hair in his struggles right next to Itsuka's orange. Why did she sound so calm?
"I'm just waiting for him to figure out it's just a rope."
Rope? Izuku stopped struggling and saw that what he thought was a slimy, sticky, grabby, tentacle was really just an old, crusty, slimy rope. It was hanging from a tall post along the dock and he had gotten stuck in it. Because why not.
"Here," Itsuka said her large hands moving to grab onto him. "I got you."
When he was finally on the ground, Izuku had his breath stolen.
The shabby pier they were on extended out into the ocean a few hundred feet beyond the lush tropical cliff wall that it hugged. The ocean was a clear crystalline blue with gentle waves lapping up a long shallow coast that was pincered by another cliff wall that crumbled into the sea. Between both of these cliffs was what could only be described as a paradise. White sandy beaches, lush tropical plants, and an idyllic looking beach house, a bunch of canoes, surfboards and even a hammock waited for them.
But that wasn't what stole his breath. Rather it was what Itsuka and Momo were wearing. Swimsuits that showed off their curves and made them both look absolutely adorable. Itsuka's was a light blue highlighted with a darker blue and had yellow ribbons on it. The strings were tight and thin but somehow still supported her chest with ease. Momo's was a solid eye popping red that was holding on for dear life to contain her breasts and showed off her hips and slender stomach well. Both of them had a matching cloth wrapped around their hips that was just opaque enough to see their legs.
Honestly, they looked like models from a magazine. And here he was just some skinny looking nerd. Maybe Itsuka was right and this was going to turn into a hentai.
"Uhh, so why are you both wearing-"
"Because your quirk is a jerk sometimes." Itsuka crossed her arms and pouted, her eyes darting up and down his body. "I was half expecting it to put you in a speedo or something, but the board short look works too. Still, looks like that All Might training has been working." She slapped his stomach. "That or gaining strength actually makes you look different."
Itsuka narrowed her eyes at him. "Your quirk is sexist."
"Huh?" Oh, like them he was now in a swimsuit, he had on green board shorts that went down to just above his knees. And he was shirtless, showing off what little muscle he had gained these past few months. "Oh uhh, sorry?"
"Don't worry about it." Itsuka huffed crossing her arms. She then blinked and let out a sigh. Her Tsundere was showing.
"This isn't what I was expecting." Momo responded pulling on her bikini top. "But, it is rather nice and the clothing is comfortable. Do you think we'll unlock this as a skin?"
Itsuka shrugged. "Maybe after we clear this place. But don't let your guard down. Seeing how we're in swimsuits now I have a real bad feeling about the whole tentacle thing. And that house makes me think that it's going to be haunted or something. Guh. Where's the exit?"
Good question, there wasn't any place that looked like an exit, or even that swirling mist that brought them there.
"GPS doesn't know where we are." Momo sighed holding a small device in her hand. Did she just make that? Man, her quirk was awesome. "So either we're in some place that the GPS can't detect us, we're being blocked, or we're nowhere on earth. Honestly, all three are rather terrifying. Why are we doing this again?"
"Because it feels good to level up." Itsuka sounded so defeated as she glared forward along the dock.
"You're right." Momo sighed and looked just as defeated as Itsuka was. "I really want to see if I can make more magical items. They're quite useful."
Izuku straightened his shoulders and pointed towards the house. "I think that might be the best place to start right?"
[Objective: Head to the Beach House]
"I think that's what your quirk wants."
[Objective: And not die.]
"Well that's certainly ominous." As Momo said that, the dock behind them exploded, water and wood splinters going flying like it had been hit by a cannonball. A boom echoed through the cove drawing their eyes out towards the sea where a massive pirate ship was firing its cannons at them.
"Fucking pirates? Seriously!" Itsuka shouted as another cannonball slammed into the wood. "Fuck it! Run!"
Izuku and Momo were way ahead of her. Itsuka was a strong girl, she could probably punch the cannonball and win.
Bit by bit, the pier began to crumble as they ran, splinters, gushes of water and falling rocks barring the way.
[Press X to]
Fuck off! He was busy right now!
He ignored the prompt and jumped over a nearly round hole in the pier that showed the sandy bottom of the shore. And the shark that was down beneath it. The very very big shark. It darted out into the shallows where its large body maneuvered easily, its large fin slicing through the water. The shark was big. Very big.
Even as they continued to run down the pier to avoid the barrage of cannons the beast charged at them undeterred from its course, a maw of teeth that were the size of Izuku's arms opened up, promising a swift and bloody death. It leapt out of the water intent on swallowing him or Momo in one bite.
He wasn't sure which one of them was screaming like a girl. Probably him.
It wasn't that they stopped running. But when a bikini wearing redhead with fists the size of her body comes flying through the air and kicks a bus sized shark with enough force for it to crumple like an accordion it is very appropriate to take a moment and appreciate things. Especially when that same redhead grabbed onto the shark's tail and flung it over her head where it was struck by one of the cannonballs.
He had a very good feeling that Itsuka could be screaming and covered in the blood of her enemies and he'd still think she was one of the most beautiful women in the world. Actually, that might just make her more attractive.
[Momo Yaoyorozu: Holy shit, I think she's trying to make me a lesbian.
Izuku Midoriya: Same.
Izuku Midoriya: Wait what?]
Itsuka turned to them with a bright red face, either from anger, exhaustion or embarrassment they didn't know. "Stop flirting with me and run!"
When the explosion a few feet behind them punctuated Itsuka's sentence, they started running faster than before. The wood began to creak, wobble, and shake, making each step more perilous than the last. He tripped falling down onto the warm sandy shore that stretched out before him.
Itsuka grabbed him in her hand and kept running to the beach house, a few sandy explosions rocked the world as he tried really hard not to puke.
[Objective Complete!
[X] Head to the Beach House
[X] Didn't die a horrible sharky death.]
"I think the pirate ship is leaving." Momo let out a hard heavy breath while holding onto one of the support columns of the beach house.
Itsuka planted him in the ground feet first like he was some flag of triumph, then turned to look out at the sea. The pirate ship was sailing away, and down. Into the ocean. It vanished beneath the waves before it reached the horizon. "So it randomly showed up and shot at us and then just leaves? Your quirk needs a better story writer."
"Did you really want to sit around waiting for some guy with a horrible accent to start shouting at us for his boat?" Izuku asked.
"No." Itsuka sighed and let her shoulders drop. "I wanted to be a pirate."
"There's always the next dungeon." Momo gave a tired laugh. "That's the fastest I've run in a while, it was kind of fun."
Holy crap, what were they turning Momo into?
[Time Until next objective: 4:59]
"So, it looks like we have a bit of time to wait until your quirk starts blasting us with cannonballs again." Itsuka scratched the back of her head, hips popping off to the side and showing off the definition on her stomach. And he really shouldn't be staring at her like this. Itsuka looked over to him and smiled. "We should probably check this place out and find out if there's any loot. Right?"
"Yep!"
The house was clean, but far from modern. Lanterns were used in place of lightbulbs, and many of the rooms were just set up for maximum relaxation. Even the beds were large, soft, and could lull anyone into a deep sleep. Aside from the two bedrooms there was the kitchen. The kitchen was large, with a wood stove the size of a car and a giant wok resting on top just waiting to be used. Chairs were set up opposite of the cooking area, the stone counter top was polished and felt like the kind of place where the chef would entertain the customers.
But aside from a few basic tools, like knives, spoons, forks, plates, and a multitude of blank books, there really wasn't anything special.
This annoyed Itsuka.
"Ahh man!" Itsuka grabbed her head and fell down onto the white sand of the beach. "No loot! What gives? We haven't even gotten any experience yet! All that happened was we got teleported to this nice beach! If I wanted to go to a nice beach, I'd go to a nice beach!"
Itsuka leaned forward and raised an eyebrow at both of them. "Can either of you drive?"
"Nope."
"I cannot."
Itsuka gave an annoyed grunt and flopped back down onto the beach. "Quirky, if you're listening please, give me loot and Exp. Both are good. But I'll take either at this moment! Also I'm hungry and there's no food here. Please se-"
[Objective: Defend the beach]
[Objective: Don't die]
"Fuck! Now what?" Itsuka whined sitting up hands flopping into the sand between her legs.
They came from the shallows, large pulsing head, gigantic orb like eyes with yellow cross shaped pupils, squirming tentacles filled with suction cups, and a tube like mouth that sucked in with their every move forward. They looked like cartoon octopus and squid all evil and welding crude primitive weapons from spears to clubs.
Itsuka stood disgust written on her face, Momo joined her both of them looked like they had never smiled once in their lives. "I told you."
"Well, at least we don't have much clothes to dissolve." Momo held out her hand and conjured a sharp metallic spear and handed it to Izuku. A large tentacled beast emerged from behind the much smaller by comparison octopuses and squids. "I'm going to make a cannon."
That sounded like an excellent idea.
Itsuka took the front and clapped one of the squids, it exploded into a thick yellow substance like a massive zit and completely covered her entire body. It smelled kind of familiar. For a few moments, Itsuka stood there, covered in the yellow goo, only the orange of her hair and the green glint of her eyes could be seen. And she did not look happy.
He knew this because she let out a primal scream of pure frustration. "You fucking zits! I'll pop every last one of you!"
She grabbed onto one of the squids heads and pulled it up off the ground, its stubby tentacles flailing around helplessly. Really, were these guys supposed to be a threat or something? She then tossed it towards the nearest cliff wall where it exploded in a different substance, this one white, green, and just ever so slightly yellow. Another one tried to swing its club at her but she gave it a vicious backhand that made it explode.
Really, it felt like Itsuka had this. Or at least the little ones.
Momo fired her cannon, the ball flying off, just missing the big one in the back.
Izuku looked at one of the slowly advanced octopi that was marching up towards him. It had a spiked club in two tentacles and was shaking them like rattles in his general direction.
He stabbed it with the spear.
[Your thrust has dealt 5 damage. Good thing it's not based off of your sexual performance skill]
It didn't burst like the ones Itsuka was dealing with. Instead it just bounced back a bit, a bit of red blood coming out from the wound on its head. But it didn't show a single sign of pain, it just kept going forward again. So he poked it again.
[Your thrust has dealt 7 damage. Unlike the girls, he actually felt that.]
Even in the middle of a dungeon, his quirk found enough time to berate him for nothing.
He tore the spear out and instead of being pushed back or popping this squid deflated like a balloon that had its air let out, and sprayed its zesty smelling blood all over him. Wait. He knew this smell. Well at least part of it. It was sweet, slightly salty and had a bit of lemon too it. Curiosity drove him to do something stupid.
He tasted it.
It was ketchup, or at least kind of ketchup-like. There was a bit of lemon in there, and something spicy. But the point being, it was sauce. Which meant the first one Itsuka had killed was filled with melted butter? And the one she tossed into the wall tartar sauce? Why were they filled with food?
A question he didn't have time to answer as Momo's cannon went off a second time. This time it scored a direct hit on the big one. And instantly pissed it off. It screamed like sizzling food on a grill, tentacles thrashing about like a child having a tantrum as it steamed forward. It's entire body turned red.
"Oh, I uhh just made it mad huh?" Momo muttered.
The creature got to the shore and it's thick tentacles began to elongate, turning into dangerous whips as opposed to squishy clubs. They battered the ground crushing the small squid with ease while Itsuka tried to dodge them.
For a moment it felt like they were winning.
Then Momo screamed. A tentacle had snuck through the sand and had wrapped around her, pulling her into the air and over towards the beast, where a few more tentacles began to play with her. Then Itsuka screamed, several tentacles grabbing onto her.
Fuck. This wasn't good.
Okay. He needed to think. There was sauce inside of these things. Only the kitchen in the beach house was fully equiped and- "I'm going to have to cook this guy, aren't I."
[Yep.]
Huh. Guess his quirk could be useful, wait this whole thing was his quirks doing! Guh whatever. "Thanks!"
He chucked the spear at the giant Octopus.
[Critical strike! You have dealt 15 damage!]
He then equipped his magical spatula.
Golden shimmering lines appeared on the creature's body. Places to cut, a list of ingredients appeared in his vision, and several objects located around the beach began to glow as well. He'd gather those later. But first. He needed to save Itsuka and Momo!
A tentacle came flying down towards him, a golden line right where it was about to strike him. He slashed that line with his spatula and it cut like nothing was there.
[Common Ingredient: Octopus Leg]
The creature roared and somehow grew angrier. Now more of its tentacles were being brought to bare down towards it. It felt like certain death.
But fortunately, he had a badass as a best friend. Itsuka grabbed onto a bunch of tentacles with ease, holding them to the ground through sheer strength, her body still covered in so many different sauces he could barely see her gritting her teeth.
[Itsuka Kendo: Go! Do… Something!]
Izuku nodded and charged with his magic spatula, he had a clear goal now, a large glowing X right between the eyes.
He jumped. Time seemed to slow, and he jabbed the spatula into the creatures flesh. For a moment nothing seemed to happen. Then the creature burst.
