Epic of Caterpillar

546 Fated Encounters: Nyzzet's Labyrinth Conquest 8/?: Beating Boss Monsters Like Flies

After the large wave of monsters was trampled over with ease by my children, we proceeded through the next two floors until we finally reached the boss room.

If I recall correctly, this place is where we fought that giant turtle boss, but there might be the case where another of the other two bosses may appear.

By rereading the guidebook, I bought on our first visit, I glanced at the three bosses ' information.

The most common and weakest of the three Bosses is the Thunderstorm Dragon Eel, a giant eel that is covered on countless azure-colored scales.

The second and the not so common of the three is the Tower Shelled Turtle Shark, a massive turtle-like creature that possesses an immense shell that resembles a tower, in which the monster offspring inhabit. This being is the one we fought that time… despite its size, I am fairly sure that it will not be an issue.

Lastly, the third and the most uncommon of the trio is the Thunder Gemstone Whale King, although it is slow, this whale possesses countless eyes made of gems all around its body, which it uses to shoot hundreds of different magic spells everywhere. Aside from this, it can summon several "familiars" made of thunder and water magic.

This Boss would be interesting to see my children fight, but I am not really interested in it… no matter how fearful the descriptions sound, I am far above this monster's strength, and it will all end in an easy win… although I might taste its meat, I want to let my children eat their prey.

We entered the room as a large pool of saltwater with various pillars greeted our sight, a large and long creature glanced at us with thundering eyes, it was serpentine in appearance but its fish-like head and the sharp fangs resembling those of a barracuda, alongside the hundreds of azure-colored scales covering its body revealed that it was the Thunderstorm Dragon Eel.

My children flew towards it as they greeted it with a series of long-ranged attacks to test its endurance.

The Eel roared angrily as it exuded a powerful blast of lightning energy from its body, managing to block some hits while evading others with its swift movements.

However, still, some of them reached it, such as Nirah's poisonous daggers, swords, and spears, which seeped deadly Curse Poison into its flesh, inhibiting its movements and making the boss feel lethargic.

"Hehe, my poison got through!" said Nirah happily as she moved her six hands and created threads of poison that entangled the giant eel.

"Raawwr!"

"Gaooo!"

"Shhiaa!"

Marduk, Nammu, and Nanshe appeared behind Nirah as they extended their tentacles and began to attack the eel's head with them, voraciously biting the creature and leaving large wounds all around. Marduk also used its fire to roast the flesh, and Nanshe poisoned it.

"Gate of Valhalla!" she said, imitating one of Kireina's attacks with her own version of the spell, the magic circles unleashed countless weapons that pierced through the eel as it shrieked in agony while releasing thunderstorm and lightning.

The eel suddenly opened its jaws as it released a powerful breath of high-pressured water towards Marduk, Nammu, and Nanshe, getting them out of its way to attack Belle who was slowly slicing its flesh.

"Don't touch sister Belle!" said the combination of all the Harpy siblings into a single being, a beautiful and bright rainbow-feathered harpy, seemingly with the looks of a young adult with the features of a man and a woman.

Leaving trails of rainbow whenever it went, it raised its wings and released hundreds of feather projectiles that exploded when they hit the Boss, leaving deep and bloody wounds.

"GRRRYAAAAA!"

"Where are you going?" laughed Nirah.

The Eel began to desperately unleash more thunder and even conjured a few magic spells, but Nirah came once again, manipulating her Divine Poisonous Aura and covering her whip with it, whipping the eel to death with a strength that one wouldn't guess that came from a little girl such as her.

"I'll finish it!"

The fused harpy siblings then summoned a rainbow sword made out of materialized magic of many attributes converged together, slicing the almost dying eel's head with a loud 'Slash!' sound, finally ending it

The children then jumped over the floating corpse and began to devour it on the spot.

"Nom, nom!"

"This is tasty!"

"Hey, there is Nirah's poison here…"

"Well, we are no affected by it, so it doesn't matter, it gives it a nice flavor!"

"Onii-chan, don't eat everything!"

"Nirah, you're eating everything with your giant snakehead already!"

"I wonder what skills we'll get!"

"This monster used lightning better than me… I will probably benefit from eating it the most, chupiii…"

"Graawr!"

"Gaooo…"

"Shhiii"

The harpy siblings separated themselves as they talked and chatted with the rest of their siblings, a few days ago most of them had become able to talk very fluently. Now only the Scylla triples, Marduk, Nammu, and Nanshe were still figuring out how to speak properly, so they would mostly groan or roar.

After their feast, another boss appeared, this time it was the turtle, which we helped on defeat as it was way too big, and it would have taken them a lot of time.

The turtle came with a lot of meat and food, as its tower-shaped shell was filled with smaller monsters and turtles, so we had enough food for everyone, even the giantesses like Valentia, Nesiphae, Amiphossia, and Nixephine ate their fill and there was still a lot left.

After the turtle appeared the whale, which was at least two times larger than the turtle, this time I had to intervene a bit on my won to weaken it enough, so I used Chaos Attribute Magic to attack it and leave large wounds all across its body using Chaos Cannons.

The giant Whale was then easily killed a sliced into gigantic chunks, it was honestly a lot of meat, but it is never too much food in my family, most of my children had developed almost void-like stomachs such as mine, so they can keep eating and accumulating energy almost endlessly, Valentia was voraciously devouring everything. It seemed that as she grew, she became more voracious.

[Kireina] gained 546.230.667.100 EXP!] (Includes EXP from previous monsters!)

[LEVEL 099/250] [EXP 6.282.205.717.877/36.500.000.000.000] (Added!)

[Kireina] learned the following Skills]

[Electricity Producing Eel Organ; Level 1]

[Crystal Whale Jewelry Eyes of Magic Conjuration; Level 1]

[Hastened Whale Bubbler Fat Production; Level 1]

I got some skills nonetheless, though the EXP was low…

The first skill was something that I already had in other skills or could do anyways, which was creating an organ inside of my body that could generate electricity, nonetheless, the skill didn't merge with anything, so I might use it with something else in the future.

The second skill let me create jewelry eyes across my body that I could use to simultaneously cast magic spells in each one just like this Whale did… once again, something that I can already do for the most part if I wanted, but I usually don't find it necessary in a fight.

The later skill was… the ability to produce fat in my body at an incredibly fast speed. Although it sounds grotesque and useless, it seems to have a lot of uses that I had never thought possible, such as the possibility of creating my own oil with my fat, create soap, creams, and cosmetics, or combustion oil, I could even use my own body with this fat as projectiles as I did with Geggoron, but with this fat, the body parts will explode with even more power.

Once again, the electricity organ and the bubbler didn't merge into my 'True Grotesque Existence' Skill, so they most likely have a different purpose.

Having finished our feast that took us a few hours, we continued through the dungeon, descending to floor 51 to 60.

Now that we have gone through all the floors that we explored previously, these new floors should be more interesting to see, especially the bosses, which I have not defeated. The Bosses will mostly likely grant System rewards.

The new pseudo-biome of the next floors was one of the caves, the walls and ceilings became covered in hardened rocks and dirt, covered in countless magic jewels which had many little animals and monsters crawling around.

The air was quite cold and damp, and there were many tall and intimidating mushroom forests covered in moist mist, which had small monsters of their own inside.

The caves were completely dark for the most part, but the colorful jewels stuck into them alongside the various types of mushrooms illuminated the caves with their bioluminescence.

Most of these mushroom forests were poisonous, but that really did not stop us from walking through them or tasting them. Some of such mushrooms were so tall that they surpassed even the trees at the surface.

"These forests are immense!" said Oga while roasting a large mushroom piece with her flames and then adding some seasoning. Oga then began to eat it leisurely.

"Ah this black-colored mushroom with skull-shaped marks is very sweet… despite being poisonous," said Brontes as she ate a giant dark-colored mushroom cap with a skull-shaped mark at the top, which was seasoned with a sauce similar to teriyaki sauce.

Mostly all of us had poison immunity at this point, so these giant mushrooms standing there without doing anything were just offering themselves to be eaten to us.

"I don't like mushrooms as much… but these Walking Mushrooms are tasty, and are quite big… Ad the lightning that they release is good for my tensed muscles," said Nesiphae, holding a Lightning Walking Mushroom with a size above three meters tall. It was a special type of Walking Mushroom with the ability to produce lightning, but this did not seem to scare nor stop Nesiphae from eating it alive.

"I prefer these armored worms, they're delicious when roasted with the scales and the exoskeleton on!" said Lilith while eating a large worm that had just appeared from the wall a few seconds ago. She beat it to death with her bare fists and then used her dragon breath to roast it alive, stick it into a sword and eat it like a skewer after sprinkling some spices over it, according to her description, she never liked worm meat, but this worm in specific tasted like pork.

"Nom, nom! I love going into new dungeons with mommy! There are always new monsters to eat!" laughed Valentia as she used her monster hands shaped into the heads of sharks to devour large prey alive. Monsters lurking from behind us that sometimes would try to ambush us would be suddenly stopped by her hands. The monsters in specific were long snakes covered in brilliant jewels and spikes, which were able to shoot reflected light from their jewel scales as their main method of attack.

"Ah, I've never eaten real mimic meat before! This is fairly different than the Blood Beast Mimic that we once eat in the Bloody Sacrifice Dungeon, honey. The meat is tougher but has a salty flavor to it that it is just very addicting…" said Zehe, using her Shadow Magic Tentacles surging from within her own shadow to catch many of these mischievous mimics, their insides had small riches, which were bare of any value to us, but what Zehe valued was the inside flesh of the mimic. These mimics moved through their long tongues acting as tentacle-like limbs, and such tongues were packed with delicious meat.

As we walked leisurely and tasted the new monsters we encounter around, in the front where the younglings having their own fun, slaying many of the monsters of this unique cave pseudo-biome.

There were many Walking Mushroom-type monsters, adapted to many different ways of predation, some even resembled octopus due to having their roots extend like tentacles. There were also some unique monsters such as Crystal or Jewel beasts, monsters that seem to be completely made out of crystal and jewels but have a soft and meaty nucleus.

They seem to be monsters that are born resembling pieces of red flesh, but begin to immediately grab nearby dirt or crystals to cover themselves and slowly develop a body made out entirely of it, using their magic to move them like mobile suits.

We slowly approached the Boss Room after a few hours, it was a large, red-colored door with a slightly eerie presence inside.
