Chapter 75 - Rushing Through The Dungeon! New Monsters?
-----
Erebus transformed into a giant 20-meter-tall, black-scaled dragon! Although it was now smaller than Chaos, who was now able to transform into a dragon the size of over 40 meters. ??
Erebus roared monstrously, as it exuded an aura of pure darkness. It jumped over the wyrms and began to shower them with its claw attacks, using its jaws to devour them alive, while it also generated Shadow Projectiles out of its body made of darkness!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The Shadow Projectiles fell over the wyrms in constant succession, as explosions of pure darkness covered the entire battlefield.
Abyss on the other side had developed new abilities, such as spreading eyes across her monstrous slimy form and firing red-colored lasers from them!
FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!
Despite having fire immunity, the wyrms could not protect themselves from these deadly laser attacks, easily getting their entire bodies blasted into pieces by the powerful attacks!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
And as she continued to fill the beasts with holes, she leaped over them and consumed them, adding their mass to hers as she seemed to be a monster that could not be easily destroyed… She consumed their flesh and added it to her mass, which made her size expand even more.
Her tentacles started to enlarge and grab more beasts devouring them alive one by one…
Dura in the other case had a more technical way of fighting, as she raised her large club to crush her enemies, the wyrms were fire-resistant beasts, so she had a hard time getting into them because her fire wasn't as effective. However, her techniques and strength alone were more than enough to crush their heads or limbs.
Usually bathing them with techniques was the best way to fight, as she consumed her mana in large quantities, which were recovered by naturally absorbing the miasma that Chaos exuded from his body, an ability that all those he had evolved using miasma possess.
The powerful attacks continued to bathe over the monsters from all sides until they quickly died down… the entire ambush of an entire biome worth of monsters was a failure, and the Dungeon Core couldn't believe they once more slaughtered all these monsters!
It has only been a few days since they wet away, so a new Blazing Fire Dragon has not appeared, sadly… Although it would had been easily killed by the group, but the Dungeon Core had the hope that it could at least slow them down and also weaken them.
In the end, Chaos and his group got a big feast right off the bat, Chaos ended eating a few dozen of corpses out of pure gluttony, though he didn't get anything Skill-related, although he still got some life essence that hastened his cultivation.
Erebus and Dura were the ones that increased their power the most out of this quick massacre, as they were still not as high ranked as Chaos and the others.
"Papa, that was yummy!" said Erebus.
"Indeed, the taste of Fire Wyrm meat is rather good, I agree," said Chaos.
"Whew, I am stuffed… How much did I assimilate? Uweh! Maybe I will get fat…?!" asked Abyss.
"I don't think that's possible based on your physiology, Abyss," said Chaos expressionlessly.
"O-Oh… yeah, I guess I can do this…!"
Abyss quickly compacted her giant mass of a slimy body as she suddenly turned into the pretty, black-colored slime maid of always.
"Abyss!"
Erebus hugged Abyss as she petted the little young lord.
"Hehe, yes, I am back~!" said Abyss, as she suddenly grabbed Erebus on his humanoid form and held him like a baby.
"I see that you two are growing closer…" said Chaos, his eyes seemed rather sharp for some unknown reason.
"Hehe, it has been just a few hours, but Erebus is very adorable~," said Abyss.
"I see…"
Chaos seemed as expressionless as ever, but Dura and Belphegor perceived something odd.
"(Wait, is Lord Chaos jealous of this?! But… from whom is he jealous? Of Erebus or of Abyss?! Who does he wants the most?!)" they thought at the same time, unaware of such a coincidence.
Chaos didn't speak a word as they continued walking through the dungeon, reaching the stairs.
Erebus had already gone back to his papa as Chaos pridefully carried him over his shoulders, as the boy sat down there.
The group glanced at the abyss down below, it seemed like incredibly long stairs that led to an unknown and dark underground.
Chaos had decided that he was going to go down through this path for now, even though there were two more biomes at the side of the volcanic biome.
The group quickly rushed downstairs, as they were immediately greeted after a few meters with an army of monsters!
The group were monsters that stuck to the ceilings and walls, protected by an organic layer of brick-like shells, they were Wall and Ceiling Mimics, of the same family as Treasure Chest Mimics!
Of course, due to the amazing senses of the party, they were not able to surprise them, and Chaos immediately grabbed one that was stuck to the wall with his draconic claws, eating it alive while partially shapeshifting his body into dragon parts without doing a full transformation due to the narrow corridors.
"GGRRYAR!"
After seeing that they were found out, the other Wall and Ceiling Mimics jumped over the army, showing their real bodies, which resembled some kind of mass of red tentacles with jaws and a few eyes across their bodies.
Chaos found their physiology rather fascinating, and he quickly rushed towards them to see if he could get any interesting Skills out of them.
He used his powerful Vacuum Stomach to devour around four in a single attack, simply crushing them within the powerful void formed in the area of the stomach, while he fought against others with his draconic claws, slashing them into pieces using a variety of combined skills, which seemed more like overkill, but that Chaos liked to do to practice their proficiency and see what could be useful and what could be discarded.
The rest of the party also fought dozens, as it seemed that the entirety of these incredibly long spiraling stairs was filled with an immense colony of Mimics that reached the hundreds!
