Goddess Wives x Eternal Dungeon

Chapter 62: Chapter 22: Hunting With Elf!

My eyes opened, and the dazzling lights of the 12th-floor item shop blinded me before the cotton candy blue hair of Lumia came into sight as she looked towards me with a smile.

Her face became bright before she quickly drank her glass of juice.

"Rai!"

I felt a slight change in her atmosphere, likely due to what she told me before and or what we did together.

Strangely enough, the current floor was filled with 3-4 people sitting near her table, ironically all males. It seems she is rather popular with men.

"Yo, Lumia. You're as adorable as ever."

She slowly stood from the bench before skipping over towards me.

With flickers of magic that seemed to dance from the tips of her hair in the gentle breeze.

"Hehe~ you said to be less erotic, so I began to study the cute elf maids!" She added, brushing her long blue bangs behind her ear, showing her lovely ears.

As she approached, she embraced my waist immediately before sinking her face into my chest.

"Haha...I see that you have worked hard..." I answered before petting her cotton candy hair and hearing her happily snuggle her cheeks deeper into my shirt.

"Mmmm, your scent just makes me so relaxed now."

I didn't want to waste too much time stroking her back and bathing in the jealous looks of several males before I was ready to leave. Lumia was a smart girl and didn't keep me waiting long as she straightened herself up.

"Let's go, brother-in-law. fufu."

Brother-in-Law!? This sudden elevation of terms shocked me.

"*Cough* Lumia, you've already learned this world's courting systems? Let's be reasonable about this."

"Eh~ but you finished inside my sister's body; what if she's been knocked up?"

"!?"

"Fufu~ I am kidding; Flora said she doesn't want to get pregnant just yet." The elf teased me as she pulled my hand, and we entered the portal for the 12th floor together.

A gentle swirling faced me this time; thankfully, my body was used to these portals now, with only the guild one causing me discomfort.

"Phew..." I took a deep breath, clearing my mind of obscene thoughts, the darkness that crept around in the depths of my mind while Eternia and the others were gone as I removed one of the Iron Greatswords from my backpack.

Looking it over for a moment, I sighed; with its cracked and damaged appearance after using it against the goblins and ratmen, I shook my head, annoyed by its broken status.

"Che, such low-quality iron...."

Such a sword might take half an hour or more to repair...

So I tossed it and took out another one, since I bought like 100 of them, while finally Lumia recovered and was setting up her longbow.

"Is everything good, Lumia?"

"Yep," The girl happily stretched and picked up her longbow, lightly tapping the frame before flexing her bow arm.

"Alright, then, let's go."

***

Not far from the entrance, we entered a strange forest, making Lumia's archery a bit harder to use while I lead from the front, my sword resting on my shoulder.

Two goblin scouts were moving through the woods, unaware of our presence.

'So dense..' I thought as trees crowded my vision, and low visibility hindered the floor's environment.

"Lumia, take the one on the left."

I pointed with my greatsword.

*giggle* The elf smiled gently as an arrow manifested on the drawstring; her delicate fingers held more than four arrows, with one Nocked in the bow, while three more were slotted between each finger for easier rapid firing.

My body lowered before leaping into the trees, now twenty feet in the air, rushing towards the goblins before standing just above them, their eyes looking around as they could hear my noise but never thought to look up.

"Gigigig?"

"Gogogo!"

I kicked a small rock down to the bushes below.

The first goblin excitedly ran as it saw something fall into the lush leaves and bushes, creating a rustle; little did it know it was about to enter the abyss of death.

My heavy jump landed easily, balancing perfectly as my blade fell in my hands, slicing the goblin in half with little effort, without worrying about Lumia following along in my footsteps.

The whistle of her arrow sounded before piercing the left goblin's eye, sending him shooting back as it pierced the tree behind it.

-> Killed Goblin Scout x 2 Lvl 18

"Ehh...how boring~ I hoped for a hunt!"

Lumia's lovely smile formed as she held her longbow proudly, placing two fingers across her soft-looking lips, covering her evil smile.

I just looked at her and slapped her cheeky little buttocks because we both had a long way to go before we would be finished.

"Kya~ Brother~ you're the first man who smacked it."

"Quite teasing. Also, no longer call me brother."

"Ah, fine, darling!"

"Why darling?"

Lumia tapped her soft pink lips, gleaming with a sticky gloss, before she spoke, "Because you made me drink it~ hehe."

Ignoring her actions, I slowly made my way through the forest; this dungeon floor was a mixture of caves and small forest areas with a false sun, or rather was it a fake sun? It felt hot and humid. Nothing different to the one back in my home world.

"Wait~ Rai, don't leave me!" The ero elf cried as she dashed after me.

I forgot how powerful my attributes were compared to people of the same or lower level...well, the system helped slightly, but even without its buffs, I would likely be the same or stronger.

Time passed quite pleasantly, as we managed to kill many goblins scouts till the kill count was at

-> Killed Goblin Scount x 14 (Lv.12)

'Another kill!' I quickly cut down two more goblins scout, slashing one before diving after the second, removing their heads from their shoulders, and decapitating them with one clean sweep.

-> Killed Goblin Scout x 16 (Lv.12)

[Level UP]

[Level UP]

The huge amount of experience from the rats helped me gain two levels, the same for Lumia.

But I chose to boost my Strength by twenty because of the leather armour's toughness. My fists and sword couldn't slice through it easily...

After boosting my Strength to fifty-two, It was like paper.

Thanks to this amazing elf lass. Lumia could freely kill goblins from a distance while occasionally acting as my backup. Her battle prowess had grown since our adventure outside, especially her archery skill.

Because it would be a long battle, I told her to use less magic, using only basic archery to support me.

She was happy and seemed to wish to display her archery skill.

Sometimes, we would stop so that I could massage her fingers, like now.

"Mmmm~ Rai.... softer..."

Although it sounded like a lewd moan, her fingers had shot more than twenty arrows rapidly, which caused strain and small cuts and pulls in her finger and wrist muscles, giving the sweet Lumia pain.

So, here in the small safe zone of a cave, I massaged her fingers.

"Try not to overdo it—shooting a bunch of arrows within seconds isn't an easy task."

Her face pouted, "But I wanted to look good for you... Show I am not useless."

My hands wrapped around hers, "Even if you shot one arrow that killed a single goblin to save my life, that is enough. You use a longbow—the focus you should aim for is power, damage and impact, not speed. If you want speed, let's get you to recurve bow or shortbow."

After those words, a smile returned to her rosy red cheeks, making Lumia feel better. Or did my massage give her a gooey look?

Not that I knew, as my lips gently kissed her hand before wrapping it in a medical bandage that would cure all wounds over time.

"There's no need for this bandage, Rai. I am not a kid..." She pouted.

"I just want to protect your lovely smooth fingers, okay?"

"Huuh...okay..."

Shortly, we returned to hunting the goblin scouts, the enemy getting slightly stronger; each wore medium-grade leather armour. The goblin boss seemed a class or two above the scouts.

The signs of goblin warriors and the chance of goblin knights might come out soon.

The signs of goblin warriors and the chance of goblin knights might come out soon.

However, Lumia and I didn't care and hunted their weaker kind.

"Grroghgm? Gororhogah!"

It seemed the parties were all returning, but Lumia and I killed all the ones from the south and east. The goblins stood still in their positions, lining up, with one goblin holding an ugly green helmet, signalling that this goblin might become a tough enemy.

'Huh, Goblin Knight..'

His body was two sizes bigger than the others; the goblin stepped forward with a muscular body, a more upright pose, rusty iron armour, and a huge sword.

However, unaware, Lumia shot an arrow, hitting one of the goblin warriors in the neck, killing it immediately!

"Hmhmgm? Garorgogah!!"

The goblin knight and ten scouts screamed as they saw her in the forest, standing on a branch; more than thirty goblins now focused on her.

Ten scouts armed with sharp, jagged daggers and crude bows, ten basic warriors with spears, ten with armour and swords and the final goblin with full metal armour and a black greatsword.

As Lumia panicked, my large body began sprinting across the forest, arriving moments after the goblins had locked onto her. Using my greatsword to hit as many as possible, I swung it with a huge cleave, not aiming to kill but to trigger my passive.

The handsome Aura!

-Active Aura triggered- Passive: Handsome Aura. All enemies within one hundred metres will target the owner!-

All 31 goblins stared at me, losing focus on Lumia!

"Thank you~ Darling Rai!" Lumia disappeared in a flutter of her dress, dashing from the trees and finding a new spot, using one of her strange elven skills perfect for stealth or ranged class.

My sword cleaved through their bodies, but they attacked me with their weapons as the goblin knight charged my side!

*Boom*

With one full-force cleave, I easily removed 3 warriors' heads but took several blades to my arms and abdomen, the force of my blow knocking several goblins down as I stomped onto the ground to adjust myself.

Then turned towards the Goblin Knight with a stupid smile as he smashed his giant sword into my side.

"Grrahghm!"

"Gragh...." I growled before gripping the goblin's arm as my health dropped rapidly while his sword penetrated a chunk of my side.

My life flashed before my eyes or death; perhaps I wasn't as strong as I thought, yet my instincts were better.

I felt my muscles swell, my hands turning to claws, as I stabbed his waist with my sword, letting go of the handle as I transformed into the golden primal werewolf form.

-> Killed Goblin Knight x 4 (Lv.15)

*Woosh!*

Lumia shot an enemy goblin scout before her arrow exploded, killing another 6 of them.

-> Killed Goblin Scout 22 (Lv.12)

The moment my transformation was about to finish, a huge steel blade was thrust into my chest, piercing through me completely as a burning pain assaulted my mind, blood vomiting from my lips while it became hard to breathe.

"Rai!?"
