Chapter 452: Dungeon Camping
-----
"Haha! Freezing Moonlight Blade!"
SLAAAAa.s.sH!
Yukihime unleashed the powers of her Ice Katana, which came from her Yuki-Onna Unique Skill. Using this powerful ice Katana, she sliced through the wind and unleashed powerful barrages of slicing slashes of ice. The spiders stood no chance against her. Especially when she moved more swiftly against the Rank 3 Spiders. Her slashes carried the power of Moonlight in such cases, which allowed her to slice through the spiders even easily.
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLAAAAASH!
The agonizing cries of the spiders accompanied our ma.s.sacre, as the groaning of the spiders resonated around, making all things even more entertaining and lively.
"GGROOOARR!"
Mikoto, the original lunar dragon of the sect, roared. She was materializing her glorious ghostly body and becoming a spectral moonlight dragon. Her very presence unleashed a strong phantasmal white aura that encompa.s.sed it all. She was both majestic and powerful. Her jaws devoured the spiders like snacks, her phantasmal moonlight breath weakened their souls and killed many of them by forcing their souls out of their bodies, and her slashing attacks using her sharp dragon claws sliced apart many other spiders…
Meanwhile, Rose wasn"t losing to her two new ghostly adversaries. She manipulated blood using her Blood Magic and the newly acquired Darkness Magic, she had become a dual-magic-wielder ghost, a rarity amongst rarities. Her Mana Core didn"t actually got a companion with a second one, her original mana core that formed when she became a ghost through the materialization of her magic now turned half red and half black, being a dual magic mana core of Blood and Darkness. Which allowed her the ability to easily wield both elements and fuse them together rather wonderfully now.
Downpours of blood and darkness gushed out of her phantasmal dark body, encompa.s.sing the entirety of the place, and consuming the spiders within it. They quickly began to be dissolved through the blood, while the blood also shaped into tentacles and entangled them crushing them, drowning them, and destroying them…
Her darkness shaped into spears of darkness and blood, piercing the spiders around the ceilings and the walls, and her powerful vampiric nature loved bloodshed more than anything, laughing maliciously as she consumed her prey"s souls and bodies.
"CRAAA!"
"CROAA!"
Meanwhile, Huginn and Muninn had flew away from my shoulders and were flying around flawlessly, using their dark and light magic to unleash a barrage of double magic element. Just recently the two crows had acquired an ability named Yin and Yang Connection, as if the two represented the spectrum of such millenary concepts, they were able to connect their power and magical talent through such methods. Making it possible for both to use dark and light magic at the same time…
The two crows used this power and abused it, fusing dark and light and forming Blight, which was black light, a unique element I had not seen before which shared the amazing speed and precision of light with the piercing and density capabilities of darkness. Countless spiders died before their magical might, as they were turned into smithereens…
The spiders quickly went down on numbers as time went by. After a bit of time, we had wiped most of them, and the last ones were flying away in horror towards the lower floors.
This was just floor 1, so perhaps there will be even more swarms in the next 9 floors, what a pain… well, we can just ma.s.sacre them just as we did now. We got a lot of new materials out of it though, these spiders had a pretty amazing exoskeleton that could be used for armor, and their juices were packed with magic, which could be used for alchemy in medicine, and the poison they had was rather lethal, excellent for killing…
Lastly, there was the mana cores, a bunch of Rank 2 and Rank 3 Mana Core were easily harvested out of all of them, they were so many that we got what we would had gotten naturally from grinding in the Ice Moon Dungeons for over a month… so it was a worthwhile grind.
There was a lot of corpses left, so I decided to just ma.s.s store them inside my inventory for the moment. I had begun to wonder if they could be tasty if boiled, and we decided to take a break and test them out.
There were four Rank 3 Spiders in front of us, we had cut off their legs, which seemed like the best parts to eat as the rest seemed rather disgusting- well, I would eat everything anyways, but I would prefer tasty stuff.
The legs of these gigantic spiders were packed with meat, so we quickly put them to boil while we sat around the bonfire.
"Phew, this feels like we are camping now or something." said Miranda, she had come out of the snake.
"That was awfully easy, but it took some time, it is like an arduous and long grind." Sighed Yuki.
"Yeah that"s usually how dungeon crawling is… a long and easy grind, so it gets boring quickly, at the very least we got a lot of loot out of it." I said.
"A c.r.a.p ton of mana cores… I suppose we can use it to make more potions and accelerate our growth in cultivation!" said Yuki.
"Exactly… Miranda, I wanted you to keep one of the Rank 3 Spider corpse, the one with the best condition, here. I healed its corpse using Corpse Healing too." I said.
"Ooh, thanks, Drake! I"ll test it out right away!" said Miranda, parasitizing the spider and then beginning to walk around with it.
"It"s a bit hard to walk with 8 legs…" she sighed, although she began crawling around and even learned how to produce spiderweb.
After Miranda tried out her new body, the spider legs we were boiling were already done. The smell wasn"t so bad, although it didn"t smell exactly like crab, but it had a close enough scent.
We were going to eat them with some salt, pepper, and b.u.t.ter, which I had placed over the table in front of us.
"It"s time…" I said.
