After having a fulfilling breakfast with my whole family, we swiftly crossed floor 35th, the Wyvern had already sp.a.w.ned again but I left it to my children, after some minutes they managed to kill in less than half an hour, gaining some special drop items. They all recently ate so I quickly butchered the body using the myriad of tentacles and Slime Clones and saved it on my Item Box.


When we opened the door that led to the 36th floor, we were greeted with the same scenery as before, an arid tower with a never-ending spiraling stair to a black abyss. Not long after we walked around, with my expanded Aura and [Mystic Eyes] combined together, I felt several new traps around, most of them being upgraded versions of the previous floors one.


Some new interesting traps opened s.p.a.ces to different rooms, they were rather dangerous, some of them could completely unequip someone items and weapons and send them to a different room, defenseless fighting against a swarm of monsters.


Using [Dungeon a.s.similation] I manipulated the small areas around all of the traps and deactivated them with the skill [Shadow a.s.sa.s.sin Arts: Disarm Trap], afterward I saved each of the new interesting devices inside of my Item Box. These traps would show in all shapes or forms, from metallic cubes incrusted in the walls, to wide crystal spheres that can summon magic circles and more.


After walking around for an hour or so I had already disarmed more than three hundred traps, for a moment I imagined my family walking around this area without a specialized trap disarmer, they would have gone through a lot of hards.h.i.+ps, everyone on my family is either a strong physical or magical attacker, or a supporter that heals and buffs, we lack some kind of a.s.sa.s.sin or thief type of member aside from myself… I guess my own Slime Clones with the skills equipped can suffice, as I was already too bored of just disarming traps and left the work to them instead, enjoying the monster-hunting with my family.


The monster in these floors were brand new beings, although some resembled the previous floors monsters, they seemed like very branched evolutions paths. There were Crow Manticores, which had the body of a black lion, the head of a crow, and four black wings, with three scorpion tails secreting deadly poison.


When we were walking around floor 37, a big group of over one hundred ambushed us from a nearby locked room, which suddenly opened and swarmed us with these deadly beasts. Their strength was quite commendable and held strong kicking power and st.u.r.dy scorpion tails. Some of my children would have a very hard time on their own if it wasn"t for the Azure Gemstone Tattoos protecting them.


Even Ailine, the frailest of my children was able to walk around the big group of deadly beasts without much to worry about as ma.s.sive walls of Gemstones would appear out of thin air to protect her, and after these walls took enough damage, her Azure Gemstone Guardian would appear, in the form of a beautiful maiden made of crystal, she began to slash and rip apart the Crow Manticores with ease, as Ailine cheered for her. Still, I reprimanded Ailine for her laziness and told her to get a bit serious. And because she is such a good girl, she immediately obeyed her mother as she started to conjure strong magic spells, devastating the big groups of Crow Manticores that came her way.


Vudia as well commanded her troops of Gold Golems around as they marched against the Crow Manticores, throwing powerful punches and electric discharges, while she watched the show over her floating Golem. From time to time Vudia would practice other elements spells, in hopes of learning them better, she had already managed to conjure strong floods of water, fireb.a.l.l.s, and small slicing winds. If she keeps learning more spells, she will be able to fuse them into strong multi-elemental spells later on and improve her individual strength even more.


Aarae in the other side was training his Hammerhead Shark Familiar, trying out new moves and magic, he discovered that he was able to infuse different types of magic on it, changing it"s color and attack patterns, he just recently learned some Thunder Spells, so he infused his familiar with the element, changing the appearance of the Hammerhead Shark greatly, it suddenly became thinner, longer and slimmer, while gaining several small shark fins on its back, it seemed to be a form specialized in speed, and it was true, as it swam through the air like a thunderbolt and released strong sparks of electricity, grilling the Crow Manticores alive.


After we fought the strong horde of monsters, we saved the corpses and kept exploring the different rooms and places, we gathered a wide amount of resources like Gold, Magic Stones, Equipment and Consumable Items. I snacked in some Crow Manticore grilled legs while my family fought off the weaker monsters that showed up. There were several subspecies of the Lizard Sharks, that evolved into different shapes and forms, some were dedicated to tank hits and grew to gigantic sizes, others were dedicated to speed, becoming long and slim, with a ma.s.sive jaw filled with sharp fangs, and others dedicated themselves to magic and grew small but had strong magic auras, being able to conjure strong Earth, Fire and Wind magic alongside Healing Spells.


A big group of very organized Lizard Sharks was living inside of a ma.s.sive room that interconnected to ten other small rooms, they had a big family and were flouris.h.i.+ng. Of course, until we showed up, seeing the potential EXP farm in such a ma.s.sive group of monsters, going over the thousands, I commanded my family to ma.s.sacre the place and grab anything valuable. I also joined in and fought three Lizard Shark Emperors who dared block my way.


I wanted to have some fun, so I used some of my Sin of l.u.s.t skills, first releasing an alluring fragrance that took them by surprise, and then I used the skill [Pleasure Mind Attack], giving them a strong shock to their brains, suddenly, the beasts started to breathe heavily as they struggled in the ground, releasing steam from their bodies as if they were being attacked mentally by a strong force. Lastly, I used [Empress of l.u.s.t Hypnotizing Waves of Ecstasy], which made them struggle even more in the floor, unable to fight at all, they breathed heavily and suddenly died by a heart attack and their brains literally busting off their skulls.


Well, it seems that too much pleasure may end up making their brains explode? That was rather new, well, these were just mobs, perhaps stronger monsters can resist these skills better, it was a rather disappointing experiment, I should had used these skills on the Wyvern to see it struggle as well.


I kept spreading my Waves of Ecstasy around, making any evolved Lizard Shark enter into an endless illusion of exhausting pleasure. Some became insane and killed themselves, while others began to eat their own comrades in a crazed manner.


There was a Lizard Shark Empress which was ten meters tall and could be cla.s.sified as a Mini Boss, it had a ma.s.sive reptilian body, walking in four chunky legs, it had a big shark-like head filled with thousands of sharp fangs and a long and sticky red tongue. It possessed eight deep black eyes, which she used to overlook her prey. When my family entered her lair, she was rather surprised and even scared, probably because of the strong aura that each one exuded from its body. Nonetheless, she wasn"t much of a threat but could summon more Lizard Sharks, dragging the battle a lot.


In the end, I told my family to just slay the endless wave of Lizard Sharks similarly than the Mantis attack, while I practiced my Sin of l.u.s.t skills on these beasts. The Lizard Shark Empress tried to escape but I caught her with my threads and threw her to my children to have some fun. I even buffed her stats so she could be a nice threat. After half an hour, she was already ripped to shreds by my six incredibly strong children.


[Calculating EXP gained…]


[Kireina] gained 203.870.293 EXP] from [Demonic Concubines] and [Chaos Bringer Children] Parties]


[You gained one level!] [LEVEL 036/250 EXP 062.900.004/360.000.0000 EXP]


The hundreds of corpses were scattered everywhere, so I commanded my wives and Slime Clones to clean everything, as I began to grill some of the biggest Lizard Sharks and Crow Manticores. The meat of the Lizard Sharks was delicious when grilled, their meat was of a pinkish-red, and it was extremely tender when squished with my hands, releasing sweet blood and fat juices. Even their bones were delectable, filled with calcium and crunchy.


Their brains were juicy and tender, and their eyes bittersweet, the fangs were fine as well and the tongues were probably their best meat, as it was incredibly tender and sticky, grilling it for some seconds and seasoning it with some sauces made it incredibly good, it almost melted in one mouth!


While I was snacking on the monsters I was grilling for my family, my children came rus.h.i.+ng over something they found on a save made by the Lizard Sharks. There was a group of red-skinned humanoids who seemed to be unconscious, some were already dead and others were being slowly eaten alive by the monsters.


Due to their red skin, small horns in their foreheads, and wild brown and white hair, I immediately recognized these humanoids demi-humans as Onis. Fire Onis in specific, their physique was very similar to Truhan"s but smaller and more compact. I don"t really know how these group of Fire Onis was captured by the Lizard Sharks, and even wondered if they were just monsters from the dungeon.


Some of my children, specially Amiphossia and Valentia were already trying to eat them, but because of my curiosity, I only told them to eat the ones who were on the verge of death, leaving the healthy for me. As my two adorable daughters snacked on the new food they found, I inspected the healthier Fire Onis. There was a beautiful woman with a powerful and muscular body, her abs were incredibly st.u.r.dy and her shoulders wide, her breast were ma.s.sive as well and her legs thick and st.u.r.dy, she was the one with the better physique, while having two red horns on her forehead and long brown hair, I quickly woke her after my children finished eating using a small spark of electricity on her brain.


The Fire Oni Woman woke up in a daze as she saw my appearance and jumped off the floor, her aura suddenly began to heat up as she exuded a strong fire domain.


"W-Who are you?! W-Where I am?! T-Those beasts! I can"t believe they captured us all!"


"Oh? Are you scared? We just saved you and your friend"s lives, we just recently eliminated the entire lair of Lizard Sharks"


"W-What?! The entire lair, but they were over one thousand! And that Empress could just summon more if she wanted… W-Wait… You are a Dark Fairy? And those people… Lamias, four-armed Onis? You people aren"t from the Lower Realm!"


I talked with the Fire Oni, explaining to her what we were without many details, I could simply kill her whenever I wanted but she had some valuable info and was rather beautiful as well.


"So, you are from a Monster Kingdom on the surface… I-I see… I guess I will save some of the questions I have for later and answer some of yours, you saved us, thank you very much. The least we can do is answer any questions you have and perhaps serve you if you can accept us"


It seems that Fire Onis are very diligent, having saved their lives pretty much made them swear their allegiance to me, simple as that.


"Well, I won"t mind some strong warriors on my Kingdom, Fire Onis are very rare and we can only get them through Goblins and Trolls evolving, but not many have evolved like this"


"E-Evolve?! To think that you have people talented enough to be able to evolve…"


"Well, I"m getting rather hungry already, what is that Lower Realm you"re talking about? Also, what"s your name?"


The Fire Oni woman pointed her fingers to her chest, proudly saying her name, while the already awoken Fire Onis smiled at her.


"I am Oga, the proud Chief Daughter of the Fire Oni Tribe of the Lower Realm! These are all my subordinates… And about the Lower Realm, it"s a place filled with fire, lava, and countless caves, alongside plenty of Nether Rivers… It"s a fine place…"


"C-Can you elaborate some more…?"


"Ah, well you"re not from there… Hmm… Well"


Yeah, she seems like a muscle head, she can barely explain things properly… Anyways, the Lower Realm seems to be an underground world in the Realm of Vida, made of thousands of different caves, Lava Rivers, Crystal Biomes, Mushroom Biomes and more, it"s also filled with different demi-human species who are living in constant wars, it"s a rather rough place, but humans don"t live there. Some of the species are Red Fire Onis, Dark Onis, Nether Elves, Dwarves, Gnomes, h.e.l.lhound, and so on.


It seems that according to Oga"s descriptions, the [Forsaken Labyrinth] as its entrance in the Lower Realm, where it connects to the surface. The Final Boss is also on the first floor for them, so they had to use another route through the mountains surrounding the Forsaken Labyrinth and skipping a lot of floors filled with deadly monsters. They were in an expedition to the surface, to find a better place for the Red Fire Oni Tribe but got caught by the Lizard Shark Empress and used as food stock.


The Lower Realm seems like a pretty interesting place to explore. I decided to invite Oga and her group to eat with my family while explaining the situation to my wives and children, everyone agreed over exploring the Lower Realms while also absorbing the Red Fire Oni Tribe so they can go to the surface, they seem pretty tough and would make nice soldiers.


There was plenty of meat from Crow Manticores and Lizard Sharks, alongside delicious beer and other preparations, the Red Fire Onis ate voraciously, they haven"t eaten in days most likely, some seemed very thin except Oga, even after starving for various days she seemed fine, I a.s.sumed that this Red Oni woman may have a G.o.d Blessing and would make a nice Wife, giving me a strong child.
