Chapter 1535: Developing The Primordial Dungeon Skills

“Oh, you’re finally back! Was that elf reprimanding you some more? Weren’t you a prideful Supreme Goddess?” Asked Black, rubbing salt in the wound.

“You little spear! Shut your trap!” I roared back. “I am merely being friend because it is convenient for me. Also I feel a bit bad the dungeon is gone; it was a place where people got resources from…” I sighed. “But whatever, tomorrow we’ll help them and compensate for what I did. Nonetheless, how are things going?”

“The Chaotic Beasts worked hard with us, we managed to defeat almost a hundred monsters so we are stuffing Silva with more food.” Said White. “Master, don’t listen to this old man, he knows nothing anyways.”

“Hahaha, White, you’re always gentle with me. It is sure nice to talk with you than the idiot there.” I sighed in relief.

“Likewise, master. I am happy as long as I am helping you.” White said with an adorable and motherly voice. Man, she was really soothing my troubled and tired heart.

“You’re a bit too nice sometimes though… And well, did you guys leveled up a bit through the hunt though?” I wondered.

“No! The monsters are too weak here, we need bigger challenge and quantity!” Said Aquamarine.

“Hm, I see. That might prove to be a difficult thing to achieve right now, but I am sure that the war will net a lot of EXP, that’s why we gotta prepare. Silva, how much have you grown?” I asked her.

“Hmmm… I think I leveled up a few times!” Silva said. She had been eating and summoning monsters for some time now. It was possible for her to gain EXP from the monsters she ate as well, however, they gave crappy amounts of EXP so I couldn’t expect her to reach max level right away. Nonetheless, she had already gotten a few levels down and was growing stronger.

“Nom… Nom…”

She continued eating until all monsters brought to her were consumed, turned into MP, and then turned into monsters, and then eaten, and rinse and repeat. At the end of an hour, she was left with like only 5 MP once more. She had consumed it all, and my group was already looking and hunting more monsters.

However, good things happened, her Skills Leveled up! Several of them, at long last! She had gained a lot of Skill Experience with each summoning and all of that, so the most important Skills all leveled up, increasing the layout size of her dungeon body, and also giving her some brand new Summons.

[Dungeon Gate Creation: Lv2]

Skill Proficiency: 620/10000

By using the innate powers of a Dungeon, the user is capable of summoning a gate in space and time that leads to the dungeon they own. The dungeon layout can be improved and grow bigger through leveling of this skill and the development of the user’s strength. The Dungeon layout can be edited through the usage of large quantities of MP and if the required levels are met. The space of the dungeon will be increased twice with each Skill Level.

[Dungeon: Lv1]

Skill Proficiency: 3203/5000

As a Fragment of the Primordial Seed of Reality that enacts the word of “Dungeons”, the user has been gifted the database necessary to recreate the past untold. Grants special characteristics of Ancient Dungeons of old, special powers, and the ability to defy Reality through Dungeon Skills. Enhances all Dungeon Skill Effects by +50% with each Skill Level.

However, as a penalty, the user is clueless about its own powers.

Dungeon Gate Creation reached Level 2 as well, mostly because she kept making and then deleting a gate leading to her Dungeon. This way, she was able to earn enough proficiency and reached a new size for her Dungeon, reaching twice the same size as before, now it might be able to fit even more creatures. Additionally, the mysterious [Dungeon] Skill has reached over half the way through, so it might level up eventually.

And in another case…

[Summon Dungeon Monster: Lv2]

Skill Proficiency: 780/10000

As a Dungeon, you’re able to summon Dungeon Monsters. Each Dungeon has their own set of unique monsters they can summon. The monster’s innate power depends in the strength and level of the Dungeon and the level of this Skill.

Summoned Dungeon Monsters cannot level up by themselves nor develop skills but can become better at their already acquired Abilities through practice, and if they have high amounts of Intelligence Stat, they’re able to learn patterns and even languages.

New monsters are unlocked with each Skill Level. All Stats of all Summoned Monsters increase by +20% with each Skill level naturally. Additionally, their HP and MP regeneration increases by +5% with each Skill Level.

Available Monsters:

Level 1: [Monkey Barbarian (E- Rank)], [Armored Rhino (E+ Rank)]

Level 2: [Ogre Warrior (F- Rank)], [Fire Salamander (F+ Rank)]

Level 3: Locked.

This Skill is already Level 2 as well! Sweet effort has paid off for our adorable Silva. She has now Level 2 Summons, and they’re Ogre Warriors and Fire Salamanders! That’s interesting. I guess the monsters don’t follow any exact criteria and are just random, right? Well, whatever’s the case, Ogre Warriors and Fire Salamanders are a completely different breed than the weaker Monkey Barbarians and Armored Rhinos. Although these two are cheaper to mass produce, the Ogre Warrior and the Fire Salamander might be worth the Mana if they’re as strong as I think.

…Though, I don’t remember fighting these guys when we explored the Dark Labyrinth, are they new? Was the Dark Labyrinth always stuck at Level 2 until now? That makes me think that perhaps she would had never been able to unleash her truest potential by being stuck in there inside the skull of an ancient God or something. I guess she might be glad I had found her and brought her outside, it hasn’t even been a day since our encounter and she’s already growing stronger every hour.

“Burp… That was tasty, thanks for the meal… I think I’m gonna take a nappy now.” Said Silva.

…She’s really like a baby, isn’t she?
