Epic Of Caterpillar : Chapter 44 - Dungeon Management Read Online

We flew at max speed through the Grand Forest, crossing from the first layers to the second and third, were the Blood Forest is.

When we located the Bloody Sacrifice Dungeon, which is inside a big cave, we quickly flew inside and descended towards the last floor.

"Here it is, the Boss Room…"

Zehe pointed out something interesting.

"It seems that the Blood Lake has been decreasing since the boss was killed…"

Nesiphae nodded.

"Perhaps it maintained itself thanks to him"

Rimuru also added.

"Guuu… Its better this way, this blood lake was infecting the whole forest, guuuu!"

The Blood Lake seems to be the production of the former dungeon boss, as it lived completely submerged inside. This type of Lake is not actually pure blood, as it contains a lot of nasty water into it and even the feces of this monster, creating a gross liquid. This is why I never tried drinking this.

Brontes was the only one who did not understand anything that we were talking about, however, she was quite curious about the strength of this boss.

"Big sisters… How strong was the dungeon boss?"

"Oh! Incredibly strong! You see…"

While my wives told the tale of our battle to Brontes, I opened my Item Box and grabbed the Dungeon Core.

"Where should I even stick this?"

I tried sticking it around but it didn't seem to react at all, even on the walls, the floor or the ceiling.

"Perhaps the Blood Lake? Hmm"

I casually dropped the Dungeon Core inside the Blood Lake.

Fluosh!

Suddenly, a bright red light shined through the entire Blood Lake.

"Uaah!"

The red light enveloped the spherical dungeon core, and this core bright red gem started to absorb the entire Blood Lake, in mere seconds, the entire lake was completely dried up.

When the dungeon core finished its meal, it became stuck on the floor of the former lake, and started to shine brightly, its expanded through the entire floor, creating circuit-like markings all around the dungeon floor. These markings expanded outside the room towards the entirety of the dungeon.

When it finished expanding, the bright lights slowly dissipated and a system message window popped out of thin air.

Ding!

"Gaah! So many things… And a gacha?! This System really likes gacha! Agh! I can't never run away from gacha!"

My wives were able to see this window and they approached at me with curiosity.

"Oooh! This is very interesting! Buy some Blood Monsters!"

"Guuuuuu!"

"Nesiphae, Rimuru, we should think this more carefully…"

"Big sister, summon a dungeon boss! I want to fight it!"

I waved my head.

"Sorry Brontes we don't have enough Dungeon Points for that"

Zehe looked at me with curiosity.

"Honey, how do you get more Dungeon Points?"

"Hmm… I think in Dungeon Tasks?"

Suddenly, a system message window popped out of thin air.

Ding!

| OPEN DUNGEON TASKS MENU? |

"I can also gain Dungeon EXP with this"

"What would happen when the dungeon levels up?"

"Maybe it becomes bigger?"

"It evolves, guuu?"

"I want to fight a boss!"

"There will be a boss another time, Brontes. Calm down."

"Aww…"

Zehe seemed to understand how this system worked.

"Hmm! Very well, Honey, you should buy the 50 Mid Blood Monsters, using all your 500 DP, afterwards, you will obtain even more DP from one of the tasks, with this DP, you buy even more Mid Blood Monsters to gain even more DP with that task. With this DP you will be able to buy 200 more High Blood Monsters, completing another task and gaining even more DP"

My Zehe is so intelligent! I was always kind of bad in management games, I thankfully have such a smart wife.

"Alright!"

I quickly spent all my 500 DP and bought the 80 Mid Blood Monsters.

| YOU EXCHANGED 500 DP |

| GENERATING MAGIC CORES |

| GENERATING DUNGEON MONSTER |

Fluosh!

Suddenly, the Dungeon Core started to shine on a bright red light, illuminating the whole dungeon. From the red markings, countless lumps of red light started to generate, increasing in size.

When the light dissipated, there were countless Blood Monsters of different shapes and forms, looking around the dungeon and interacting with each other.

Ding!

| MID BLOOD MONSTER X80 SUCCESSFULLY CREATED |

| YOU COMPLETED A DUNGEON TASKS! YOU GAINED 500 DP AND EXP |

"They don't seem aggressive towards us… Guuu"

"Perhaps they won't attack Honey, because she is the Dungeon Master, that's a relief"

"But they aren't attacking us either"

"Can I kill them?"

At Brontes question, everyone looked at her.

"No!"

"Aaww…"

I patted Brontes head.

"Maybe later, we need to let them grow stronger and also reproduce"

"I see!"

While Rimuru, Nesiphae and Brontes inspected and played with the inoffensive Blood Monsters Zehe and I looked over the Dungeon System Window.

"Now that we got 500 DP, I exchange them for another batch, right?"

"Yes, Honey"

"Alright"

Ding!

| YOU EXCHANGED 500 DP |

The same ritual as before happened, creating a new batch of 80 Mid Blood Monsters.

| MID BLOOD MONSTER X80 SUCCESSFULLY CREATED |

| YOU COMPLETED A DUNGEON TASKS! YOU GAINED 2000 DP AND EXP |

"Aah! Even more!"

Zehe pointed at the System Window.

"Now, Honey, exchange 1600 DP for two batch of High Blood Monsters which are 100 each, this should also complete another task"

"I see…"

I quickly exchanged 1600 DP and bought two High Blood Monster groups.

Ding! Ding!

| YOU EXCHANGED 800 DP |

Suddenly, a big light covered the whole room, and in a mater of seconds 200 High Blood Monsters appeared, making the big and wide dungeon boss room packed with monsters, giving us almost no space to walk in.

I decided to send the Blood Monsters outside the room, to walk around the dungeon and become familiar with it.

| YOU COMPLETED A DUNGEON TASKS! YOU GAINED 3000 DP AND EXP |

| DUNGEON LEVEL: 1 EXP: 5500/10000 | | DUNGEON POINTS: 3400 |

After completing these task, new task appeared, replacing the previous ones.

| NEW TASKS OBTAINED |

| SUMMON HIGH BLOOD MONSTER (0/500) | | REWARD: 3500 DP/EXP |

| SUMMON BLOOD MONSTER GUARDIAN (0/1) | | REWARD: 1800 DP/EXP |

| SUMMON STRONG BLOOD MONSTER FLOOR GUARDIAN (0/1) | | REWARD 2300 DP/EXP |

Zehe glanced at the new tasks and asked me with curiosity.

"Is there any benefit on having a Floor Guardian?"

I checked on the Floor Guardian on the Dungeon Shop and it explained that having a Guardian per floor would increase the breeding efficiency of Blood Monsters, and make them stronger, which will grant higher EXP. However, this passive boost goes away after slaying it.

Zehe waved her head.

"Hmm, we don't have enough DP to complete the 500 High Blood Monster task, what we could do is Summon a normal Floor Guardian and a Strong Floor Guardian. This dungeon has 4 floors so I guess we have a limit of four. With the gained DP from the Tasks, we can complete the 500 High Blood Monster task… This System is quite easy, its not hard at all, one must just follow the certain tasks given and the dungeon will become stronger and stronger with ease"

"You are right. I wonder when will we hit a progression wall and be asked to pay with real money…"

Zehe looked me with confusion.

"Real money?"

"Ah! N-Never mind… (This usually happened in Earth Mobile Games, letting you advance a lot and then hitting a progression wall, which needed real money to keep progressing. Hahaha!)"

I did as my smart Zehe said and exchanged 3300 DP for two Floor Guardians, a normal and strong one.

| YOU EXCHANGED 3300 DP |

Fluosh!

For the creation of a Floor Guardian, the dungeon core charged a blinding red light, and from the dungeon markings, two big lumps of red light appeared, increasing in size until the light dissipated.

These two Floor Guardians had familiar faces. The normal one was the Chimera Floor Guardian that we fought some days ago, and the strong Floor Guardian was the "Furniture Golem" boss that was a pain in the ass to kill because of its massive size and resistance.

| YOU COMPLETED TWO DUNGEON TASKS! YOU GAINED 4100 DP AND EXP |

| YOUR TWO FLOOR GUARDIANS HAVE INCREASE THE BLOOD MONSTER BREEDING SPEED AND STRENTH |

| DUNGEON LEVEL: 1 EXP: 9600/10000 | | DUNGEON POINTS: 4200 |

I ordered these two floor guardians to stay on the first two floors for now.

Zehe didn't even took her eyes outside the window when the two floor guardians were summoned. She seems addicted to this game-like mechanics.

"Now! Honey! Summon the 500 High Blood Monsters!"

"S-Sure…"

| YOU EXCHANGED 4000 DP | | DP REMAINING: 200 |

Fluosh!

Suddenly, the whole room was infested once again with hundreds of Blood Monsters.

"Uagh! So many!"

| YOU COMPLETED A DUNGEON TASK! YOU GAINED 3500 DP AND EXP |

| YOUR DUNGEON GAINED A LEVEL! |

| DUNGEON LEVEL: 2 EXP: 3100/20000 | | DUNGEON POINTS: 3700 |

| YOUR DUNGEON HAS EXPANDED, YOU GAINED EXTRA SPACE |

It seems like each level up will expand the dungeon size, increasing the inside space of it.

After completing the three new task, newer tasks showed up, these were way harder.

| NEW TASKS OBTAINED |

| SUMMON HIGH BLOOD MONSTER (0/1000) | | REWARD 7000 DP/EXP |

| SUMMON STRONG BLOOD MONSTER FLOOR GUARDIAN (0/2) | | REWARD 4000 DP/EXP |

| PURCHASE BLOOD MONSTER TOTEMS (0/5) | | REWARD 4000 DP |

Zehe eyes shined after seeing new tasks to complete.

"Ooh! Now… Honey, can you check what Blood Monster Totem do?"

"Y-Yeah…"

I opened the Dungeon Shop and saw the information of the Blood Monster Totem item.

| Blood Monster Totem: install this totem anywhere in your dungeon to increase the breeding speed of your Blood Monsters by 10% each |

The Blood Monster Statue and Monument do the same, but with better percentages.

Zehe nodded.

"I see! So that's is what it can do, very useful. Sadly, we don't have enough DP to buy all 5 of them… Honey, for now buy two Strong Floor Guardians!"

"Okay… (Zehe is getting pretty obsessed over this… I would already see her as one of those people that spends all its money on mobile games if she was from Earth… Hahaha…)"

I quickly exchanged 3600 DP for the two last Strong Floor Guardians.

| YOU EXCHANGED 3600 DP | | REMAINING DP: 100 |

Fluosh!

Two big red lights appeared out of the dungeon markings and slowly grew larger.

These two were another familiar face. One being the Blood Monster Basilisk and the other being another Chimera, however this Chimera seemed stronger and had more heads.

I decided to keep the strong Chimera in this floor and sent the Basilisk to the third floor.

While doing all of this, the rest of my wives have been playing with the Blood Monsters and Brontes was using the Basilisk as a mount. The monster didn't like that very much but it couldn't really do anything about it.

| YOU COMPLETED A DUNGEON TASK! YOU GAINED 4000 DP AND EXP |

| DUNGEON LEVEL: 2 EXP: 7100/20000 | | DUNGEON POINTS: 4100 |

After seeing these points, Zehe was disappointed.

"Ugh… With 4100 DP its not enough to buy 5 totems… It's not fair!"

There it is, the progression wall.

"Well, we will have to buy 4 for now and leave the Blood Monsters breeding for now"

"B-But… I wanted to complete more tasks…"

I hugged Zehe and comforted her.

"I-It's okay Zehe, it's not something bad"

I quickly exchanged 4000 DP for 4 Blood Monster Totems.

| YOU EXCHANGED 4000 DP |

Fluosh!

Even for items, the dungeon core was the responsible on producing them.

Four small lights came outside the dungeon markings and became solid totems made of wood, they were decorated with Blood Monster heads and were painted with blood.

As we left the dungeon, we placed these totems on the four floors.

As we flew back home, I glanced over the dungeon.

"We left a lot of Blood Monsters and Guardians; they should be able to take care of themselves"

"I wonder how they feed; they don't need to eat?"

"They obviously need to eat, probably hunting small monsters around the Blood Forest…"

"Guuu… A pity we couldn't eat some, guuu"

"I wanted to beat some bosses…"

I tried to cheer my wives up.

"Now, now, no need to get all sad… Let's go back home to eat lunch, afterwards, we can train together"

Brontes and Rimuru liked the idea and smiled at me.

"Sounds good, guuuu! I want to level up a lot so I can evolve again, guuu!"

"Hnn! I want to evolve again too…!"

"I guess it sounds nice… Sigh…"

However, Zehe still seemed quite depressed over hitting that progression wall.

"(There is nothing I can do against her sudden addiction… Time is the only cure…)"

Back home, we joined the rest of my servants on their midday lunch.

I told all my servants about our new dungeon, and the possibilities of training there. However, because these Blood Monsters were way stronger, only servants that have reached a certain level of power could join and be safe inside, so rookies were not allowed.

For now, I will leave the dungeon alone to settle down and increase its Blood Monster population. I can check it any time through my System Window.

"I don't really know at which number of Blood Monster population we should start hunting. I would wait until its population reach at least three times its actual size… We also must be careful on the grind, and always leave some Blood Monster alive"

Zehe nodded.

"Don't worry, Honey. The more Totems and Statues we install inside the dungeon, the more breeding speed these monsters will have, to the point of not having to worry about their population slowly diminishing. After this, we would be able to buy Dungeon Traits that can increase the max EXP learned and Magic Cores given"

"Good point, Zehe. (It seems like the delicious food recovered her a little)"

Nesiphae analyzed what Zehe said.

"If what Zehe is saying is really true, then this whole Dungeon is pretty much a gold mine, isn't it? Those Magic Cores and the EXP are very valuable resources. We could even make a big business based solely on this. Supporting our whole Kingdom"

That's a very intelligent observation coming from Nesiphae! I was kind of surprised.

"V-Very well said, Nesiphae! I didn't think of it in that way!"

Our population is increasing steadily every day, and with the coming of new races and them settling and having babies here. We are on dire need of a stable resource point like this dungeon!

Before continuing our training, I went to see Kusuri and Kajiya on their workshops inside the castle.

Before leaving the dungeon, I killed three different Blood Monster for experimentation. These three were a Lower, a Mid and High Blood Monster. I extracted their Magic Cores and bought them here so Kusuri can investigate them.

When I entered their big workshop, a lot of the royal Alchemist monkeys, trolls and goblins greeted me, offering gifts of any type. Which I had to accept to not disappoint them.

They gave me mostly beautiful accessories and potions.

Kusuri and Kajiya stopped doing their business and came to greet me, moving the other Alchemist away.

"Master Kireina! It is nice to see you!"

"M-Master!"

"Hey!"

I gave Kusuri the Magic Cores, which made him amazed.

"T-These are real Magic Cores, Master? Impressive! I have never seen such a high concentration of pure magic! Magical Rocks and Gems do not compare to them"

Kajiya inspected the biggest one.

"I-Indeed, its magic density is very high, it making me dizzy while looking at it…"

"I see… So you guys can see the same. I would like you guys to inspect these Magic Cores. Open them, break them, it doesn't matter. I really want to know how their work and how they would benefit our Kingdom"

Kusuri and Kajiya looked at me with shiny eyes.

"Ooh! R-Really, Master? I woul gladly inspect these Magic Cores!!"

"Y-Yeah! I can already imagine so many weapon and armor recipes using these strong Magic Cores!"

"That's good"

While Kusuri and Kajiya moved the Magic Cores to their desk. Kusuri took a small box and brought it to me.

"Master, my investigation with the Shadow Awakening Rings is finished"

"Oh? I almost forgot about those…"

Kusuri blushed a little and rubbed his head.

"Hahaha… I'm sorry for taking so long. But these Rings were quite hard to inspect, as they were covered in different kinds of protection spells… However, we managed our way through"

"Y-Yeah… It was very hard to understand the complex magic circuits inside"

"Magic… Cicuits?"

According to Kusuri and Kajiya, Magic Circuits are a way to carve markings inside an item with the power to contain and save magic inside. The more carvings, the more complex will be the item functionality. These circuits serve as the item "veins" and transfer magic energy efficiently across the item, without letting it all go to waste, overcharging the item.

Kusuri told me that each Shadow Awakening Ring used Magic Circuits of extreme complexity, across the entire item. All these circuits connected with the wearer "soul" and with the item core, which was the big black colored gem on each ring.

Inside these cores was a dormant demon soul. Kusuri said that these items are particular, as they don't need MP to activate, but Soul Energy. The more Soul Energy is infused, the stronger the demon soul inside will become, granting its user with powerful bonuses in strength and defense. Some rings were stronger than others, depending on the demon soul.

Like Marchosias ring, which was able to create a stronger armor that resembled its original appearance and granted the user with powerful fire control and creation, in exchange of taking over its wearer body and mind.

The demon souls inside were vicious and feed in Soul Energy like crazy. If the wearer does not take the ring out in time, it could get its whole soul consumed in minutes.

"That is pretty much what we were able to understand, Master"

"W-We are sorry for our incompetence… We lack experience!"

"Its fine, this information is more than what I expected. I now understand the total complexity of these Rings. They are quite dangerous. I wonder what does the Necromancer wants to do with them?"

Kusuri sat on a nearby chair and took a sip of a warm tea that a Spider Maid served to him.

"Well… This is just a theory, Master. But I think that the necromancer, this man, wants to use these demon souls to change its body completely…"

"Oh? How did you figure such theory?"

"You see… After investigating these rings, I discovered that there was a way to make these demon souls become part of one body. When you fuse with them, the demon souls would fuse with your own. Using your own body as their host and not a ring. This would give the necromancer the power to make the demon souls change the appearance of its own body, changing its flesh and not just forming wings or some armor"

Kajiya nodded.

"I-I think… That the necromancer wants to become a pure demon, using the power of these souls"

"But that would require an exuberating amount of Soul Energy…"

"What does this guy want with such thing?"

"That… I don't really know, sadly"

"Hmmm…"

I sat on a nearby chair and sipped some tea.

"Leaving its humanity aside and becoming a true demon…"

Finishing my business with Kusuri and Kajiya, I went towards the Farming Team, on the outsides of the town.

I was greeted by a big group of different monsters eating veggies. There was a big group of Snow Rabbits peacefully resting on the grass.

While inspecting the monsters. I was surprised by two old looking muscular monkeys.

"IS THAT, MASTER?!"

"MASTER!"

"Eh?!"

These two muscular grandpas were the experienced monkeys that had the "Farmer" job. They were an incredible pair and passionate about raising their animals.

"What is the honour of Master visit?"

"Master, do you want fresh meat?"

"Hahaha! N-No, its not that. I came with a gift for you two"

"A gift?!"

"Oh!"

I quickly opened my Item Box and grabbed a weird looking red colored translucent egg from inside.

"W-What in tarnation is that?"

"Hmm… I can see countless little beings inside"

"This is a Blood Monster Colony egg! It needs careful care. After some days, countless little Blood Monsters will be born from here. Blood Monsters can feed on almost anything and will assimilate any living being they eat"

"I-I see! Is this a new specie for our farm?"

"They are indeed interesting creatures! I think we ate some of their meat yesterday. It was delicious!"

"Master, are you saying that they assimilate what they eat? So, if we feed them with different kinds of meats, will their meat have multiple flavors?"

"Yeah! They seem quite easy to raise. I'm leaving this egg to you two, don't disappoint me!"

The two monkeys stood straight and yelled on a stoic voice.

"WE WON'T DISSAPOINT YOU, MASTER!"

After having this settled, I went towards the Training Grounds with my servants and wives, and killed mobs until night, when the last slime was taken out of its misery.

It really was kind of sad to kill way more intelligent slimes, but there wasn't any other way of becoming stronger.

| YOU GAINED 37554 EXP | | THE REST OF YOUR SERVANTS GAINED TONS OF EXP |

| YOU GAINED ONE LEVEL! | | LEVEL 4/70 EXP 35554/56000 |

| THE REST OF YOUR SERVANTS GAINED TONS OF LEVELS! |

"Phew… That was a nice training, these slimes give a better EXP"

"Guuuu! Lots of EXP! I want to evolve already!"

Zehe looked at Rimuru with a strange glance.

"R-Rimuru, you don't feel anything after slaying your brethren?"

Rimuru looked at Zehe with a confused face.

"Hmmm… Well… Not really, guuuu! I just want to become stronger! Hehehe!"

Wagyu, who was at our side, laughed.

"Hahaha! Rimuru has always been like this, do not worry, Lady Zehe"

Zehe laughed a bit.

"Hehe, I guess so. You must know Rimuru a lot, Wagyu"

Wagyu gave Zehe a proud expression.

"But of course, Lady Zehe! Me and Rimuru have been partners since long ago! I am like her little brother!"

"Is that so?"

"Hmm! Lady Rimuru was who decided to go on my help, and valiantly fought the former Crimson Wolf Emperor! After Master joined her, the Crimson Wolf Emperor was already a goner!"

"Oooh! Awesome! Master has always been very strong?"

"Of course!"

I obviously was hearing all of this and couldn't help but feel shame.

"Ugh… That fight wasn't easy at all… I almost died… Wagyu wasn't even conscious when it happened"

After having a fulfilling dinner with my wives and servants. I decided to go set Magic Shield traps around the entire town and castle before going to the bed.

These traps will be mostly made with my strongest Spiritual Blood Shield and also there was some Magic Solidification traps in there. These would instantly activate if anything attacks the town walls. And would activate in succession, first the Magic Shields and then the Magic Solidification cast. Which would create a strong and sturdy magic dome protecting the whole town. I also set classic traps around the forest and left some of my bats scouting the area. If any Undead approaches, I will the first to know.

"Phew, that should be it. I drank like a hundred MP potions, ugh… They taste sweet at first but after drinking more than 50, they become bitter somehow, and I can barely tolerate their flavor"

I didn't want to do | MP SHARE | and bother my servants, most are already sleeping.

When I went back to my room, my four beautiful wives were awaiting me over the bed while being completely nude.

"Ah!"

"Honey, its time for our nightly love"

"Master, come here… fufufu"

"Guuu… Master…"

"Big sister… I want you to take the lead tonight"

I felt as if I was facing the most powerful of bosses!

"No way…"
