Chapter 377: Visiting Clishya's Home
-----
After Mustaria was recruited by Frank's group and sent into the Divine Realm, Frank conquered the dungeon and used his system to become the Dungeon Master.
The Dungeon Core was rather curious about how exactly he did it, but now that Axitl was approving of it, it didn't seem to mind.
Although Frank wondered what to do with it… the dungeon was rank 8, but only the last boss was rank 8, now that the dragon was gone, it would go back to being a dungeon around rank 4 or 5.
"Can't it take a human form and get into the divine realm too?" asked Kamei out of curiosity.
"No, human form can only be taken when the dungeon reaches Rank 10 and become a Divine Dungeon, becoming essentially a God…" said Axitl.
"At that point, Axitl- mother helped me mold my soul into this appearance of my liking," said Orb.
"So you really just wanted to look like a loli?" asked Kamei.
"…I am not a loli!" said Orb while pouting, as Frank calmed her down by petting her.
"Anyways, I don't want to use my divine energy into making it a Rank 10… So let's leave it at that…" said Frank.
"But it seemed that it was good friends with Mustaria, now it will be alone," sighed Kamei.
"…Sigh, fine, I will bring it inside the Divine Realm," said Frank.
In the end, it took Frank around half an hour to take out the entire dungeon from the jungle, which also made a big commotion and a tremor, but he managed to move it into his Divine Realm.
"The other option could have been fusing it with Orb," said Axitl.
"Eh? She can do that?" asked Frank.
"I can do that?!" asked Orb.
"Well yes, I am the creator of the Dungeons so it wouldn't be hard to fuse two dungeon cores together," said Axitl.
"Hm… I don't know, it seemed to have already developed a personality, if it fuses with me, it might change mine, right?" asked Orb.
"Well, it didn't seem to have that much of an ego. It was just attached to Mustaria, and it liked to read with her…" said Axitl.
"Then are you truly considering it now?" asked Frank.
"A-Ah…! No, it was just a thought," said Axitl.
"Would fusing with it make me stronger?" wondered Orb.
"Hmm… Most likely, but not too much, unless you fuse with many," said Axitl.
"I see… Well, for now, let's not do any of that… But if we found ego-less dungeon cores, I might chomp them out," said Orb.
"Huh… I wonder if you could grow up if you eat a bunch," said Gwendolyn.
"I already said I am not a loli! I-I am a cute princess! L-Like the stories I like to read… F-Frank doesn't mind, right?" asked Orb.
"Yeah, I think you're very cute," said Frank.
"Hehe…" Orb chuckled as she felt flattered. Frank had already accepted that she wanted to be this way.
After this little incident, Vritra and Selcis felt pretty full after munching on many monsters, so everyone quickly resumed their trip through Greenwild and finally reached a large swamp.
They were greeted by giant dragonflies in the way, but they defeated them without any problem.
There were also giant eels that slithered out of the water for some reason, and walking fish too…
"Ah, these monsters were usually the ones my tribe hunted down… Nom…"
Clishya was eating a large, skewered piece of Giant Land Eel that Gwendolyn had caught and grilled with her fire magic, chopped it off, and shared it with everyone rather casually…
"I can see why living here is dangerous for these people…" sighed Frank. Imagining himself as a weak Rank 1 Magus in such a place… All these monsters were around peak Rank 1, with the Dragonflies being Rank 2 as they had the sizes of cars…
"There is a special barrier in my town that was set by artifacts from the ancient era, it feeds on sunlight, and it protects us from the strong monsters… However, because it is dangerous to go out and the barrier range is limited, we can't expand our town and there is often food shortage…" said Clishya.
"Hm… We have to hurry up and get there," said Abraddon.
"Indeed, let's go!" said Thineas.
After a few more minutes of foraging through the swamp, Frank detected a large barrier of magic erected around the swamp, closing on a small area, not bigger than a kilometer… it was really small.
"That's the barrier!" said Clishya, pointing at the barrier.
The group quickly reached the barrier, but they were blocked by it, it didn't let those that were not originally from this place enter… Of course, guests could be brought, but someone within the town needed to approve of it.
Well yeah, everyone present here could destroy the barrier at this point, but it would be rude to do so, so they waited for someone to come. There were guards nearby, both of them being frog-kin, and quickly rushed towards the group as they noticed the massive group of people…
"Who are you?!"
"S-So many people…"
"Hey! Ah, I remember you two… Gerudo and Garbo! Remember me? I am Clishya! Long time no see," said Clishya, as the two frog-kin men, who didn't actually look like frogs but that still had sticky skin and green pigmentation here and there suddenly stopped rushing and glanced at Clishya with some more detail.
"C-Clishya… It's her?!"
"I don't remember her speaking without stuttering through…"
In the end, they let everyone in as Clishya convinced the two guards, and the group began to walk through the town, which was all made of wood and set over the swamp like a harbor.
It looked rather rustic, but it held its own beauty…
Many of the people glanced at the group with surprised expressions, and many were everything Clishya and the rest, every single member looked unique and charismatic… giving auras of greatness that impacted the people immediately.
After some exploration, they ended getting into the orphanage, as the chief of the town quickly ran to greet the new visitors…
