Pereza had emerged! The powerful Sin of Sloth, the Demon Lord of Sloth that serves directly below the Demon King was actually within the dungeon the whole time! And shit, she's beating the crap out of all of us using countless of tentacles enhanced with magic! Is she copying me? I used to do the same by mixing weapon techniques and using them with just my body parts.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
Each attack was more intense than the previous one, generating explosive shockwaves that spread out in all directions. Luminous immediately attempted to shield us all by unleashing a strong Light Barrier, while gritting his sharp teeth.
"Hah! A Light Barrier as feeble as that one won't last too long against my attacks…! You should consider yourself a lost cause the moment you got inside of my own stomach! Now I shall devour you slowly! Resist all you want, with my super regeneration abilities there's simply no way I can lose anyways!" Pereza celebrated as if she had already won. She was really pissing the shit out of me.
Crack… crack!
The barrier already began to show cracks after the initial barrage of attacks, things were getting messier. I was absorbing the acid with Item Box, but what about the rest? I had dealt with the acid for now but I need to find a way to deal with her automatic regeneration if we want to deal any sort of substantial damage.
"Damn it… If it wasn't because of my weakness, we wouldn't be in such a situation! I am such a failure of a God…! My strongest breath attack was fended off so easily!" Luminous began to lament his weakness while self-loathing.
"No! Luminous, don't get sad, you're doing everything you can!" Said Elfina. "I am the useless one… The only strength I have is actually just all from Kireina… I am useless! BUAAAAH!" Elfina began to cry like a baby.
"No, I am even more useless…" Sighed Luminous. "What should I do…? What can I do? What's there within my abilities that could get us out of this situation?!" The giant lizard began to brainstorm, but I can tell he's more of a calm thinker, when he's put into pressure and stress, he can't think straight and he gets nervous, beginning to think stupid things without keeping himself grounded.
"Maybe I could use my flames to burn through the flesh, it would surely deal some damage… But the regeneration is a problem… Wait, isn't cooked flesh still stuck to the living flesh? Perhaps fire could work?" Wondered Fiere.
"I bet the Demon has some way of taking it out, perhaps merely by tearing his own flesh or eating it… Who knows, maybe this monstrosity has the Taboo: Uroboros Title…" Sighed Luminous. "Ugh, I wish I wasn't so useless… I am always within the shadows of my ancestors…"
"AGGH! Stop being such a crybaby, you giant lizard! We aren't going to get out of here by shedding tears… We have to punch and bite our way out of this place! …Wait a second, bitting!" I said as an idea quickly emerged in my mind, or well, not really an idea, it was something so incredibly simple and relatively obvious that I couldn't help but laugh at myself for not thinking about it before.
"What do you have in mind? And don't call me giant lizard! I am a young god!" Said Luminous.
"You look like an hairy lizard to me! But I got an idea… Your attack still did damage, didn't it? this thing has abysmal defenses, the bastard simply has an amazing regeneration ability. I got a recent ability that could help me bite through his entire body, the more damage it receives, the more energy it will have to spend regenerating…" I said. "Trust me on this one!"
"Whatever you have in mind, I guess we can trust it, you've already defeated three of these monsters." Sighed Luminous.
"This demon is a demon, not a monster, Luminous! …But yes, it looks like a monster." Sighed Elfina. "And sure, Kireina!"
"I'll follow your orders, Lady Kireina." Said Fiere.
"Then Elfina, you boost me with everything you got! Prioritize Strength and Speed, alright? As for Luminous and Fiere, use your light and flames to burn through the flesh, even if it constantly regenerates, continue burning through it endlessly!" I said, commanding them while the light barrier continued to crack and show more shatter.
"Got it!" Said Elfina.
"We'll do as you say, you better not disappoint me, Kireina!"
"What do we do afterwards?"
"We'll think about it as we go!" I said carefreely.
"Eh?!"
I ignored their response as I quickly decided to activate both my Divine Aura, Phantasmal Aura, Divine Domain, Dao Summon and Divine Authority Summon all together. I quickly brought out the Dao of Drain and the Dao of Demise, all while unleashing the power of the Divine Authority of the Deadly Sin of Gluttony!
FLUOOOOSSSH!
My entire body was suddenly encompassed in a blazing aura of black and red color, and then, I activated [Holy Flames] and covered myself on them for extra damage output, all while calling Aquamarine to my side. Aquamarine quickly used his [Armor Embodiment] covering my entire body with Aquamarine, as if I was wearing a blue and white armor that enhanced my power and defense even more. And lastly, I enhanced my jaws with the armor of Aquamarine, making them mightier, larger, and sharper.
"Huh, what are you even preparing for? Don't you see that everything is just pointless now?!" Laughed Pereza, she was way too lazy to discern what we were doing, clearly!
And then… [Roll]!
CLAAAAASH!
I broke through the barrier of Luminous and completely shattered it, rushing through the air and reaching the wall of flesh in front of me. My plan was super simple, I was going to abuse that Pereza had an abysmal defense to just bite through her and eat her alive, or until I find her demon core!

[Author's Notes]: So we just reached 1500 Chapters with this! It has been such a long journey, and it seems that it hasnt even come close to an end yet! I hope you've been enjoying these new chapters.
I mostly did this shift in the story because I was feeling burned out, so this fresh start made me feel fresh while writing as well. Don't worry, she'll go back eventually, and even more things will happen in Genesis.
I have plans of introducing the other Novels Characters in this Novel, hopefully in this year. Thanks for reading so far and make sure to check my other Novels, especially the Completed ones! Ice Dragon is also cool!
